ALI INDICATIONS point to the nomi-
nation of Grover Cleveland as the dem
ocratic candidate for the Presidency.
The GAZETTE, rs is well known, has
opposed it, becauseit thought that with
out New York ii would be impossible
TO elect him, and ii had grave fears
that he could not carry New York.
Now, however, the die is cast, and
every good democrat must stand or fall
by the result. When asked by his COM
manding officer on the Canadian from
tier whether he could carry Il certain
battery, Col. Miller modestly replied,
eTll try, and charged it successfully.
Let that be the reply Of every man to
the Chicago convention. More than
two-thirds of the delegates are satisfied
that the nominee can be elected. Con
iidence is useful factor in both war
and politics. if it is backed up by cour
age and hard work Both fthese will
be required in the campaign about to
commence. and they will win. Whilst
the GAZETTE thinks matters would have
been safer with another candidate, yet
all democrats must remember that their
opponents are in the same strait as
themselves. Cleveland made many en-
emies during his administration; SO has
Harrison. A very large number OF the
most practical democrats have said that
Cleveland cannot be elected, but so
have an equally large number of his
party opponents declared about Harri-
son. The republican nominee for the
vice-Presidency is unpopular in New
York, and will, probably, lose the party
many votes there, and that will go
largely TO make up any lukewarmness
in the democratic ranks there. The
GAZETTE thinks the situation might
have been. better, but as Harrison and
Cleveland both hold the same views
upon the silver question, the tariff will
be necessarily the chief, if not the only

The Threatcned Inundation

PoTTsvILLE. Pa. June 22,-After
twenty hours Of work the water in the
immense leaking reservoir in the st.
Clair Valley has only lowered six feet
and the danger of the entire breast Civ
ing away at any instant has increased.
The people of surrounding towns are
still on the hills where they spent the
night. The excitement is beyond des-
cription The only outlet to the dam
is the service mains and these can only
release the water in about double the
volume that is running in from the
feed streams. This is why the water
lowers so slowly.

in the case of the late William Astor, OF

board his Yacht Nourmahal. When he
placed the yacht in winter quarters at
the conclusion Of last season. Mr.. Astor
locked all the closets on board and
placed the keys in the safe in the cabin
of the vessel. He was the only person
in possession of the combination of the
safe. The other day J. NJ. Waterbury
chartered the yacht, and as ne wanted
immediate possession. it became neces-
sary to call in the lock pickers. 1t took
them six hours to get inside the iron
door on Monday.

Pa. that the Pottsville Water Compa-
ny's big reservoir. located onthe noun

affected should the dam break, tele-
grams and messengers have been dis
patched all along the valley between
the dam and Pottsville TO notify tho
residents of Newcastle, st. Clair, Port
Carbon and Palo Alto Of the condition
of affairs. and suggesting to them to be
prepared to take to the hills on an in
stant's notice. Hundred of inhabitants
of those towns have, in accordance tC
the notice, abandoned their homes and
property and taken to the hills.

LEAVING out of sight Mr.. Clcveland's
feelings toward the South, as manifest
ed by some of his words and acts, the
luminosity he has engendcred against
himself in the State OF New York, and
his sincere conviction that his concep-
tons in respect of his party's interests
are more correct than those of all the
other people in it, he would be the most
available man the democrats could have
settled upon as their choice for their
Presidential nominee, for his present
opinions on the subjects of the tariff,
pensions and silver are eminently right.
But even were they not, there is no
point of view from which he would not
appear in better light than his repub-
lican rival, Mr.. Harrison; certainly none
from which the people of the South
could look at him. Therefore, there is
no good reason why any democrat, es-
pecially any southern democrat, should
not give him earnest and effective sup
port. The success Of Mr.. Harrison
means the enactment OF the Force bill,
and in the face of that danger all other
political policies and principles sink into
comparative insignificance.

COUNTRY MILLs.-There are but two
water grist mills in Stafford county. one
on Aqua creek and the other on Poto-
mac run, both owned by Lyman Kel-
logg, esq. Both of these mills have a
good reputation for turning out good
grists. There are also two steam mills,
one in Falmouth, owned by Mr.. James
Bloxton. and the other at Brooke, own
ed by Mr.. ~ K. Lowery. Although
hitherto there has been some prejudice
against grist made at steam mills, both
of these mills have considerable reputa-
ton among their patrons for good grists.
As these two gentlemen are pioneers in
Stafford in that line, they should be
sustained by the county people.-Fred-
