Central Democrats Society, while in The

( gsneraie condition OF the pity Of Jefferson
aud Jackson in Somerset county, It could
not have created greater Consideration than
did the announcement izct Wednesday that
Edward Z. Ee4rns. CT Pittsburgh. had been
named by the President for Collector OF In

less patent that the members OF the Central
Democratic Society. as the anti -Harrity peo-
pie are pleased to call themselves, were down
in the mouth. while the leaders felt that
they hadgot il further down, even IN the

Il was known that General Cofroth bad
endorsed Mr. Ksarns' application for the
eolec;orship, in fact he wrote n personal let
ter 10 Secretary Carlisle in Kearnsf behalf.
and II Is claimed that this letter Of the Cen
erals knocked the pessimnon. The Col
lsctor viii have some fourteen or fifteen
store keepers and guagers and possibly one
deputy collector to appoint in this county,
and as any one OF the positions is worth
nearly as much as the Meyersdaie postofIice.
ihe members Of the Society realized that
they had received lick between the eyes
from the effects Of which Il would be hard
TO rally some people thought that the
blow had put the Central Democratic So
oiety TO sleep and that IS members would
be unable to get together and resoiute until
after the next presidential election. Gener-
al Cofro5h laughed at their discontinue, as
he had a right 10 DO. and intimated that the
next lick be would strike the Central DEM
ocratic Society would be hard enough to
crack Corliss safe This was understood
TO mean that the Generals candidate for the
Meyersdale PostOfiee, Mr.. Oats, would be
appointed by the President. The tranquil

Society headquarters during the week could
have been cut in blocks. All eyes were
turned on the scalp Of the New Baltimore
victim that adorned the headquarters. but

In view Of the appointments affecting the
