crat who looks beyond the end of his
nose thinks the times are critical.
believe Mr.. Davis himself must
be well aware that the party
has no walkover this Fall. For
my own part / am convinced that if
any weak nomination should be made
and would SO regard the denomination
of Mr.. Cleveland-the party would almost
certainly be beaten.
"Let us look over the field a moment.
First of all there is the great body of mall
contents created by Mr.. Cleyeland's dis
tribution Of offices last spring, then
there is the great body of taxpayers
who are alarmed at the steady
Increase of the drain on their purses
while they have no confidence in the
methods of expenditure. The business
men of the city are disgusted, and they
will not rally to the suppot of the old
regime.
'On the other side, the Republican
leaders are rousing their followers to new
efforts If Mr. Cleveland, for in
stance, should be nominated, you would
find no dummy Republican candidate in
the field against him. The Republican
leaders will put up first rate man.
They will fight for him. General Sewell
will give them all the help he can
to beat Cleveland. Money win not be
wanting. Probably citizens movement
will be organized in the interest
of the Republican 'reformer' Ac-
tive oil +al,
will man the polls in his interest. Prob
ably the Republican Senate will send its
Election Committee down here with a
troop of marshals to study the working
of the election laws here.
MR.. DAVIS ADVANTAGES.
"Now l do not think any such
fight can or will be made against
Mr. Davis. His nomination will
put spirit into our people.
Business men will subscribe literally for
all legitimate expenses of his campaign.
They will give him their hearty counte-
nance, too. The rank and file of the
party will rally around him as they
would around hardly any other man.
The Republicans will be discouraged
from the outset, and instead of making a
strong fight they will put up,
in all probability, dummy candidate
and save their ammunition for another
time''
"Then you think Mr. Davis can be in
duced to run?" / remarked.
~ do" ne said confidently. "He will
be con , inced that he is the first choice of
thousands of Democrats, and he will ac-
cept the situation"
s'But what If Mr.. Cleveland pushes his
candidacy in opposition2"
''Mr Cleveland is too good q
Democrat to oppose the will
of the party. When he is
convinced that the people desire Mr..
Davis as their standard bearer, he will re-
tire gracefully from the contest"

business man who / understood was in

some length, going over substantially the
same ground. He dwelt on the
need of candidate who would inspire
the party with courage. "a wet blanket. .

POTTS PASSES TWO BILLS.
One Is for Easy Divorces; the Second
Affects District Courts.


TRENTON, Feb. 4, 1sS0.-This has been
one of the dullest days of the dullest of
Legislatures The only enlivening episode
of the session was brief scrap between
the Republican forlorn hope of hudson,
Messrs. Erwin aud Potts.
Mr. Potts had a bill which provides
that divorces can be granted for deser-
tion OF two Years, which came up on sec
ond reading. Mr.. Erwin wanted to
amend it by making the term three years.
This would virtually kill the bill and Mr..
Potts objected. He said that law was
enacted last year which made two
years residence in the State sufficient to
entitle to divorce, and it was tor the
purpose OF making the desertion statute
consistent with the new law that he had
introduced the BILL
Mr.. Erwin replied that he did not think
any of the members present wanted to
have New Jersey ciassed among the

Johnstown weekly Democrat. (Johnstown, Cambria County, Pa.) 1889-1916, 1890-04-25
80 asGOBBLE.s


In the old borough Of Johnstown 1t was
Well understood that Democrat need not
apply for anything. Every Office was
given to Republican. II made no diff
ference how we'll qualified an applicant
might be for position II he was Demo-
crat he was "sat down on" This bitter
partisan feeling extended to every place,
and even If he wanted to be common
Street Commissioner the applicant, II he
was suspected of being Democrat, would
have to publicly renounce his principles
and become an apostate.
This unrelenting partisanship extended
even TO the School Beard, : place where
politics should not be allowed to enter,
aud would not if high-minded men and
men with broad and progressive views
were directors.
The Democrats of Johnstown, like men
OF courage, understood the situation, and
soquiesced in the offensive partisan rule
OF the majority. They did not howl and
whine, and Try 10 throw obstacles in the
way of the administration Of the borough
or school affairs, and play the baby act by
crying that the Republicans would
J." gobble everything. The Republicans
seized everything they could clutch, and
held on it to like grim death. Every ad-
vantage and opportunity was made use Of
to bolster up Republicans and keep down
Democrats.
Happily for all the people of the new
city this unprecedented partisan rule has
departed forever. The two great politi-
cal parties are too evenly divided for con-
temptible and mean party sway to run
riot in the Queen City of the Noun
TAIN" The Councils, the law-making
power, is TOO evenly divided politically
and the same is true of the School Con-
trollers, for any greedy little clique to
much longer hold sway. This will inure
to the benefit of all our citizens, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, and the secret
star chamber meetings, and the illegal
and disreputable acts oil the school d.
rectors, will be relegated to the past, meyer
TO return.
The outlook is good. Let the Demo
cratic Councilmen and School Directors
have confidence in their principles and
the courage to maintain them. They will
find at all times and on every question
that arises that the path of duty Is tho
path of safety.

BUSINESS failures, when fully investi-
gated, may as rule, be traced to causes
which bear no relation whatever to what
IL right and proper in the transactions oil
trade and commerce, kept within their
legitimate lines of operation. Very lately
o number of failures Of farmers in Ian
caster county have been reported and the
inference might be drawn that farming in
Ahst region was not profitable. But the
reverse is the fact, so far as farming being
safe business is concerned, farmers may
not be making fortune in Lancaster
county, but if they keep within the lines
of their legitimate vocation they will not
become bankrupts. The farmers who
have failed there were spectators, using
their credit as soil cultivators to make
risks in other directions, the failure OF
which wrecked them as farmers. A firm Of
brokers failed in New York only day or
two ago not because they were doing a
risky business as a firm, but because q
member of the ..co-partnership Overdrew
his amount and behaved knavishly. The
lines of legitimate business can always be
formed with safety. II a man or firm sees
that money is not being made they have
time TO stop and need not plunge into
failure. II the same parties run undo
risks, assuming responsibilities which
they cannot carry, the failure of such
course is not an evidence that business is
dull or profitless, but merely proof that
the parties in question blundered or per.
haps were criminals in their actions Such
results ought not TO be called business
failures, because business "in the proper
sense of the term had no identity with the
result

J0HNSToWN BRIDGE.
W. II. BROWN, Chief Engineer.
j. T. RICHAhD Ds, Assistant ChieT Engineer
@. A. SIAAs, Assistant Engineer.
SPARKS & EVANS, Contractors.

This tablet was not in the bridge before,
but it is presumed that, as the bridge
now has world wide notoriety, those
connected with its construction will want
to let future ages know who constructed
the only work Of man that stayed the
roaring torrent that rushed down the Con
emaugh valley on Friday afternoon, May
81, 1889.
On the keystone of the second arch, the
one over the street, is the inscription {:
Repaired in 1890"
Below the bridge the food left large
deposit of sand and stones, which has
since considerably interfered with the
flow of the river at that point. When the
work of repairing the bridge was begun
it became necessary to remove a part of
this, but the main part has been allowed
to remain. A few days since the Tenn
sylvania Railroad Company put force of
men to work removing the bars. The
material is carted down to the Fifteenth
ward where it is used to fill up the streets
and lots that were washed out by the
flood.
1t is understood that the entire deposit
will be removed SO that the river may have
q clear course. This will materially en-
large the river channel at that point, and
very much lessen the danger of overfows
at and above the bridge.

ArIeted the Wrong Man.
Cumberland tMd.l Times.

Cumberland tMd.l Times.
An amusing incident took place to-day
and had not the suspected man been as
good humored as he was, there would
have been trouble for some one.
Mr.. A. J. Kyt, of Latrobe, Pa, who has
been in this city for several days, has but
one arm, the left aud no hand. This
morning as he was crossing the railroad
at the head of Baltimore street, he was
surprised by having a hand placed upon
his shoulder and hearinga voice saying
arrest you."ee
Turning in astonishment he found him
self held by the watchman at the crossing
who informed the gentleman that he was
a one armed horsethief from Keyser. In
spite of all protestation on the part of the
suspected man, he was taken before
Squire King and proclaimed to be Evy,
horsethief of Keyser, w. Va.
Now Evy has the left arm off at the
shoulder and has good right arm and
one finger on the right hand, while
Mr.. Kyt has good left arm, but no
hand
This being noted, Mr.. Kyt was released.
While the incident was aggravating, it
had its numerous side, and the accused
gentleman, with commendable good
nature, laughed with the merriest over his
little adventure.
