Political Notes.


Gen. Hastings opened the Campaign, +,
Monday with speech at Emporium, the
county seat Of Cameron, Go. He said the
news from Kentucky came with JOY
to every decent man and woman in the
land, and be discussed the Wilson bill at
length.
Hastings spoke at Bradford, Tuesday and
the crowd was SO great that an "overfow"
meeting was necessary.
At the Republican State Convention
held at Saratoga, n Y. Tuesday, Levi P.
Morton was nominated for Governor, and
platform was adopted, denouncing the
assaults upon the industries of the country
by the present Democratic Congress, and
declaring anew the allegiance of the Re-
publican party to the doctrine of Protect
ion for American industries. An honest
dollar is advocated, together with the use
of gold and silver as a circulating medium.
The Ohio Democratic State Convention
at Columbus, Wednesday, endorsed Sens-
tor Brice, and adopted tree silver plank.
The Republicans of Nevada have asked
u. s. Senator. John P. Jones to resign.
They say decency requires it.
In the sugar planters convention at
New Orleans, Monday, there were present
not only the leading planters in Louisiana
but some of the most representative of
New Orleans. The boilers of the DEM
ocrscy had every thing their own way,
and resistance to the program was but
feebly made. The convention went over
to the National Republican party in a
body.

A Reversible Statesman.

They continue to have good deal OF q
time and some amusement with Congress
man Joe Sibley out in the Twenty-sixth
district. The uncertainties Of Mr.. Sibley s
mind are such as to keep people guessing,
and you don't know much better what's
going to happen than you do at an OLD
fashioned donkey party.
This reversible statesman, who doesn't
belong to any political party, has once or
twice telegraphed his declination of re-
nomination for Congress, but the Demo-
Gratis of the district, who are geserally out
of meat, are not prepared to let him get
away. Mr. Sibley's campaign two years
ago was such an agreeable relief to empty
Democratic pockets that it has been deem
ed necessary that there should be a repeti-
tion of it. Mr.. Sibley does not seem to
consider it necessary, but everybody else
does, and therefore, while he insists that
he is not candidate the Democrats of the
district insist that he is.
Then Mr.. Sibley takes the ground that
if they are determined to vote for him he
can't help it, only he isn't candidate; and
il he should not be elected he would not
look upon it as defeat because he isn't
candidate. All this shows very clearly
that Mr.. Sibley is candidate and wants
to continue to be, az he could end the
whole business in an hour whenever he
wishes. Judge Bucher had some expert
ence, it will be remembered. He kept
writing letters of declination to Chairman
Stranahan, which for some reason Chair
man Stranahan never received, and Judge
Buoher at last got out of patience doing
business in that way and filed his with
drawal in the Office of Secretary of the
Commonwealth. That ended it.
If Mr.. Sibley doesn't want to be a can
didate Judge Bucher has shown him the
way to get out oft. The law provides 1t.
ALI he need to do is to file written declin-
alton, sttested by notar public. in the
office of the Secretary of the Common
wealth fifteen days or more before election
and he will be IS completely withdrawn
from the canvass as he will be on the
morning after election, when he begins to
figure up how the Hon. Matthew Griswold
got his majority. Having done this Mr..
Sibley's name would not appear on the OF
fetal ballot, because the law says the
mans of candidate withdrawn shall not
be printed. This is the way for Mr.. Sib-
ley to get out of the race if he wants 70,
and he doesn't have to he told of it.
The fact has been made apparent, how
ever, that Mr.. Sibley doesn't want to get
out. He was bled 80 unscrupulously in
his other campaign that he is trying to save
himself this time, and by pretending not
to be a candidate he will be able to keep
some of the strikers ct a distance. he is
merely playing little game on the boys
Press.

ALL honest and decent men rejoice at
the defeat of Col. Breckenridge in Ken
lucky Every debauchee in the land would
have hailed his success as an endorsement
of the life he is living. Breckenridse's 8
audacity was appalling, and he had the
advantage of the control of the party
machinery and q divided opposition, but he
was beaten.
The Louisville "Courier-Journdl," ac-
cepting the defeat OF Col. Breckenridge as
beyond controversy, declares there was
never such political contest fought out
to the bitter end anywhere in the world, y
but rejoices that it eliminated without a
tragedy, and g happily nothing happened
which the waters of oblivion may not
wash" The issue. it says, was distinctly
between morality and immortality, and it
engulfed all other issues. 1t adds:
In the face Of the storm raised and the
odds at stake, it ia amazing that Colonel
Breckenridge, eloquent and brilliant as he
is conceded to be. held his own 80 well
and polled SO many votes. That there was
not total collapse is proof of vitality
almost incredible.
But those who opposed his nomination
were terribly in earnest. They believed
that they were obeying Gods mandate.
They believed they were saving the dis.
trics and the state dire calamity. The
least excited among them, admitting al
that might be claimed for the ability of Col
Breckenridge, honestly thought that hi,
capacity for useful service was ended.

Breckenridge's Defeat.

Saturday last was an exciting day i'll
the Ashland Congressional district OF Ken
lucky, for the day was to decide whether
the notorious Col. W. G. P. Breckenridge
or a respectable man named Owens should
be the regular Democratic nominee for
Congress.
The district is strongly Democratic and
the regular nomination has, heretofore,
been equivalent to an election.
Breckenridge had control of the party
organization in the district, and made a
tremendous effort to secure a re-nomina-
tion.
Feeling ran so high that violence, all
over the district, was feared for Saturday,
and there was considerable fighting, but
only two fatal affrays have been reported.
There were three candidates and Owens
received a plurality of about 800 over
Breckenridge, who will contest for the
nomination before the district committee,
which meets at Frankfort, Saturday.

IT is a satisfaction to know that Mad
cline Pollard will not be permitted to 90
on the stage. The managers who were
talking of bringing her out have found it
impossible 10 secure dates for her. The
public taste may be low, but it has not
reached the point that will accord honors
to a woman whose only claim is based On
her folly and shame. coupled with the in
fanny of a man in public life who ought to
be behind prison bars. 1t is satisfaction
to find that the public taste is not as
depraved as it is sometimes made to seem.

GALUsHA A. GROW.

Galusha A. Grow is so well known to
the people of this State by reason of his
recent phenomenal victory in the contest
for Congressman Large, he receiving a
plurality of oyer 100, 600, that an extended
sketch is unnecessary. He was born in
Connecticut, in 1924, and at an early age
he removed with his parents to Susque-
hanna county, in this State. Arriving at
manhood, Mr.. Grow studied law, was ad-
mitted to the Bar, and soon became active
in politics. He was elected to Congress
in 1850, and served in that body contln-
uously for twelve years, being Speaker of
the House during his last term, 1861 to
1868. For thirty years thereafter Mr..
Grow held no public Office, although he
was always active in the promotion of Re-
publican principles and in support of Re-
publican candidates. In February last
the ex-Speaker was elected to succeed the
late Gen. Lily, Congressman-at-Large from
this State.
