REEDY. It is the winning ticket. Cleveland and Hen deices. Indiana is no longer a doubtful State. _ The Plumed Knight has taken to the woods. _ Cleveland is also an American. He is loud of pie. The ticket is a double-header. Run it cither way, and it is a sure winner. •William 'J. Shkode will be the next sheriff of Pike county, and don't you forget it. AVk already have the Republicans on the defense in this canvass. Before November next they will be on the ran. _ The kickers were rewarded at the "Republican convention last Saturday. The boosscs arc evidently afraid of them. ’_' The Republican party of Pike county lias no Arm-strong enough to defeat Fred Potkcr for treasurer. He is invincible. _ publicans at Winslow last Saturday is a weak one aud was evidently not put out with any hope of success.

Bowdoin College has made Blaine a Doctor of Laws. The people -will confer on Dr. Blaine in November the degreeof D. D.—dreadfully defeated. It was the general rule at the Republican convention held at Winslow last Saturday that “none but those who stand in with the bosses need apply.’’ In their ruport of the investigation the experts did not include the various township and school funds. Will some one please rise and explain wliv this is thusly. Don’t be alarmed, friends; Mr. Blaine will have plenty of leisure after the 5th of November to complete the second volume of that “Twentv 1 ears of Congress.” Why did the experts notflncludc the various township and : school funds in their reports of the investigation? Perhaps Bro. Gladish can give us some light upon Hub subject. Blaine is "quaking with fear ovci Cleveland's nomination, but he cannot shake the tattooed marks from his body, nor awaken the syjmitathv of houest men in his cause. Blaint must go. "p Carthk Hahmson, the man who “knocked out” the Iroquois Club in Chicago on the tariff question, was nominated by acclimation as the Democratic candidate for Governor of Illinois. _ We -feel sorry for Calkins with Hendricks at his back. Groy will soon make it so hot for the young would-be statesman that a pandemonium would be an ice house as compared with the hustings of Iudiana. wIt is quite evident that the Eepubrans have no hope of success in this comity in the coming campaign. The ticket nominated at Winslow last Saturday is a weak one and elicited *o enthusiasm. Since the bosses failed to have their own way in forming a coalition with the Nationals they have lost all hope, and warned their beat men to keep off the track. They have grossly abused the power granted them by the result of the last eleetr bn and are net slow to read the hand Writing upon the wall.

The nomination of Cleveland and Hendricks lias .awakened srigfr* enthusiasm throughoutthe qplki; country as was never wit**jwril .before. The Democratic tribes are alteady oli their way tu the front for the KovcmIbeF b*ttl°v^ ‘ The Republican papers of- Indiana arc badly demoralized over the nomination of Cleveland and Hendricks. And well they may be. The magic of Hendrick’s leadership in Indiana Jvill knock all the-magnetism out of the Blaine battery. Evidences multiply that the country .is ripe for a change. It demands better government. That can only be had by a change of executive and civil service system. In short, the supreme demand is a purer administration of the Government.’

Hox. Frank Hurd said in his recent speech at Tammauy Hall, that every man who earns $400 per year, pays $100 as au indirect tax in the way of tariff revenue. This is the fruit of Republican- class legislation. Do the people want It continued ? Mr. Blaine does not think Cleveland’s nomination a strong one, because “he is so little known.” Being widely known has not helped Mr. Blaine’s candidacy, however. I%S! is the weaker because he is in universal repute, and desperately bad repute at that. ^ A max in New York’ who nttcred the remark that he would betflis life that. Blaine would be elected, fell to the ground and died in less than five minutes afterward. Wheu Providence begins to take such bets, Blaine’s defeat must be looked upon as certain._ 'Tnr.oldest delegate to the lato-Dem-ocratic Natiortat Convention was Dr. Uriah Terrill, of Virginia, who is ninety-two years of age, served in the war of 1812, entered politics in Jackson’s first campaign, and went first to a National Convention in 1844, to vote and work for Henry Clay. The Plumed Knight plumes are medaeval and out of style as ornaments for wearing apparel. But they are quite fashionable when worn on a hearse, and in view of that they should be kept- close in hand against the coming of the ides of November. The Blaine family will find them handy to have in the house. If Col. Gray did not serve long enough in the army to suit the 'Republican braves (like'our neighbor of the Press, for instance) they might take up the hero of tivo wars, Gen. Manson, and compare his war, record with that of Eugene Bundy, his competitor, who never smelled burnt powder._ The Courier-Journal says: “The saddest, saddest fact in all this sad business about the Blaine bolters, and the one which doubtless galls the Republicans most, is probably that these same bolters are not of the character of voters who are susceptible to the favorite Republican^M-guments of new two dollar bills. _ Aaron II. George, one of the pres-* ent Republican county commissioners, was wise enough to refuse .a re-nomi-nation at the hands of his party. Not so with Mr. Johnson, however, who fails to see the unpopularity of paying experts eighteen dollars per day, and at the close of his present term he will be succeeded by E. II. Reedy, a gentleman who is highly competent and will make no blunders. You hear what we say!

Hkn Smavek, the man who Lolled the Republican nomination for trustee in Logau townsliip at the April election, whereby said Republican candidate was defeated, was nominated for coroner by the Republicans irf their county convention last Saturday. Tim must be 5xw*din«rty gratislying to Mr. Atkinson and liis friends and they will no doubt feel like teari ig tl eir shirts for the . ucc s ( ?) of the ticket this fall.

Investigation 8 and exposures have failed, utterly, to provide a remedy for or correct the abuses of our civil service. Investigations have too often been prevented from their intention by sinister influences. Venal officials arc indifferent to publicity, because they know too many secrets to be in fear of punishment or tvmoval. A complete change in the administration of the government oilers the only prospect of real reform. Nothing short of the overthrow of the Republican party will ever reveal the hidden crimes of the last twenty years of corrupt rule. The Republican party must go. Turn the rascals out. One of the curious features of the present canvass is the fact that the Republican leaders ahd the Republican organs do uot even attempt to meet the charges- made by the bolters of his own party against James U. Blaine. These charges, made and reiterated by such papers as: the New York Evening Rust, the New York Times and many others are: 1. “That Mr. Blaiue asked for and received a reward from a railroad company for a ruling as speaker, which saved the company’s land grant from lapsing. 2. That while admitting that he had been owuer of stoek in this railroad, he falsely stated that he had bought and paid for it at the full market price, whereas, it was given to him for tlie service he%had rendered and the additional service he promised to render. 3. That by a despicable false promise and trick, he procured from James Mulligan the private letters disclosing all these dishonorable transactions, and buriigd them to hide the cvidcuces of his dishonor.” These charges are serious, involving both his official aud personal conduct. That no attempt is made to refute them must be taken as evidence that they can not be successfully met—that they are true.

CLEVELAND AND HENDliICKS. Never hrthc history 'of the Democratic party has a Domoc ratio National Convention presented such an array of magnificent men, such giant intellects, such profound statesmanship, such comprehension of the logic of events, or a greater devotion ..to tlio welfare of the country. For a quarter of a century the Democratic party has been out of power in thcFedcral govern mem, hut in all these years it has maintained its prestige as the prolitic»parent of men of gigantic intellects, and as State after State, when tiro roll was called, presented its ftvorite for Presidential honors there passed in review’ before the convention rcpreseiittifive statesmen of such colossal proportions as to

impress all beholders with the idea that the intellectual resources of the Democratic party were as boundless as the material resources of this country. Cleveland, from the Empire State of New York; McDonald, from the great center State of the West; Bayard, whoso renown expands Delaware to “Old Dominion” proportions; Thurman-^hd Deadly, of Ohio, Itandall, of Pennsylvania, and Carlisle, of Kentucky, constituted a galaxy of as brilliant men as ever commanded the admiration of their fellow-citizens. From these men of renown the convention was required to name the uext President of the United States, and by the fiat of its voice designated GROVER CLEVELAND, Governor of New York, for the high honor. The office of Governor of New York, the Empire State of the Republic, is next in importance to that of President of the United States! The population of New York is now more than the entire population of the Union in the year 1800, and the question which come before IjCgishdwear?b\ vi rtue of the interestsinvolved jrfNational import. Two years ago the Republican party sought, by extraordinary means, to force upon the people of New York Charles J. Folger for Governor. The Democratic party then named Grover Cleveland as its candidate, and lie marched to victory with a majority of 200,000 votes. This unparalleled triumph gave the Governor of New York commanding prestige, and from that time until „ the Democratic National Convention designated him as the Democratic candidate for President, he l»as been regarded as the coming man. Dis vote in the Chicago Convention from the first indicated the drift of public sentiment, and in the presence of the facts opposition became weak and wavering. Or if, as in the case of Tammany, it was stubborn and vituperative, it only added to his streugth in other States, where patriotism triu mph over pcrsoual preferences, and the welfare of the whole people totally obscured the small ambitions of faction. J Grover Cleveland of New York, is now the Democratic candidate for President. Those who know him best admire him most, and be it said to bis grand renown that thousands and tens of thousands of honest, patriotic Republicans, who love their country better than their party, and who can" not and will not support James G. Blaine because of his deeply-stained record as a public man, stand pledged to vote for Grover Cleveland, because they know him to be honest and capable.

trover Cleveland is a Democrat who is frugal iu his habits, unostentatious in his demeanor, severe in his judgements agaiusl public iniquity, and pledged to the reformation of abuses in the administration of Government ; and as the people shall become more and more familiar with his record and character, he will be the man they will still more delight .honor. '* J. ' \ The nomination of Grover Cleveland, followed by the nomination of i Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana, i for Vice President, and the Democratic Presidential ticket is, therefore, Cleveland and Hendricks. Mr. Hendricks’ name in Indiana is a tower of strength, and the same is equally true of his great influence throughout tire country. In 1876 Mr. Hendricks was elected Vice President on a ticket with Samuel J. Tildcn, of New York, but did not take his scat as the presiding officer of the Senate of the United States.,, He Is again a candidate for the same office on a ticket with another of New York’s favorite sons. Again he will be elected, and this time he will be inaugurated. Cleveland and Hendricks is now the battle-cry, and itnddr his banner tire Democratic party will take possession of the Government. One of our patrons asks: “Its John A. Logan a Methodist?” Certainly lie is; but his method is strikingly original. It is currently reported that, he joined the church by telegraph and was baptized by photograph. To this it may be added that he will be elected vice president like the old woman kept tavern in Missouri—before John offered Ids services to the southern cotifederacjy. Blaink loves to be called the "plumed knight.” Logan loves to be called “Gallant Soldier,” and Calkins loves to be called tho “Cayalicr.” But they are quite excusable, for very great men are sure to have little streaks of mental weakness, which they love to exhibit on state occasions as does a peacock bis tail, and were it not for the pcadock’u feet, and the records of the trio, they all might be happy. Geobok West, who has only been a resident of this county for a few years, and whose claim for recognition was that he had done valiant work for W. J. Bethel! two years agoi, for which service he was made Mr' BctheU’8 deputy, was nominated for recorder at the Republican convention last Saturday, over several older gentlemen, who have spent many yoars in the service of their party. But the bosses had said let it be George, and it was George.

Tiie true inwardness of the Grant & Ward bucket-shop is coining to the surface. The assignee of the firm lias made a statement showing the actual value of the assets to l>e $67,174.00, anithe sum total liabilities $16,792,647772, the difference between assets and liabilities being $16,725,478.72. It seems that Messrs. Grant & Ward, being good Republicans, Concluded to get rich regardless of consequences, a la Dorsey, and it must be confessed that Grant’s illustrious name panned out magnificiently. Manifestly, the theory upon which Messrs. Grant & Ward conducted business was, “borrow some money. Borrow some more and pay 10 per cent a month on the first. Buy a magnificent home, twenty blooded horses, $5,000 worth of diamonds. Get same more money from your friends and ‘invest’ it by paying for a quarter of the fine things you have bought. Go in debt for the rest. Stay in debit, but buy a picture gallery. Get some more money from your friends and ‘invest’ it in a country house in your wife’s name. Then give out that yon have taken some stupenduous Government contracts, aad get your Mends to put in more moficy. ‘invest it in a steam pleasure vaeht and live at the rate of $100,000 a year. Your neighbors will envy you and you can give parties.” Republicanism lias wrought wonders for General Grant, It found him before the war a plain, unostentatious Democrat.-* It tempted him with office, .and Grant joined the “God and morality” party. Now contemplate him. A sadder spectacle of fallen greatness was never before exhibited in this land. But it is what Republicanism can do for its victims. Last week the Press had considerable to say about the postponement of the trial between J. W. Richardson and the county, and in his remarks the editor of that paper does not want to “tots fair” with Mr. ltiehardson. "Whether or not Mr. Richardson is a defaulter we kutfiv not, but we do know this, that if he is we shall insist on that gentleman being compel led pay back into the eounty treasury every cent that may be proven against him. The editor of the Press complains terribly because Mr. ltiehurdson has not had the books examined -in a few weeks that took .two experts nearly a year to examine. Mr. Richardson would be foolish indeed to enter trial without having the books examined by a competent person. The editor of the Press is doing all he can to hurry J. W. Richardson into a trial of the ease, but never ouee did ho even say a word to hurry up the work of the experts, when such was costing the taxpayers $18 per day. The editor of the Press claims that he is doing ali this for the interest of the tax-pay-ers, but every voter well knows that it is ail done in order to make a little campaign thunder. The county will not lose a cent by waiting. The experts took their time, and why not allow to Mr. Richardson the same favor. AVhen the ease is tried in court and if it should l>e proven that Mr* Kieluirdson is a defaulter, then we shall insist on a payment of the amount.—[News. The News hits the nail on the heatl in the case of the editor of the Press in the above paragraph. Ever since tire experts began the work of investigating the books of Ex-Treasurer Richardson, Gladish has kept up a tirade of abuse against that gentleman. In his zeal to manufacture campaign thunder lie would try Mr. Richardson, find him guilty of every thing mean iu the record of crime, and sentence him to eternal punishment without the shadow qf a chaneofor defense, had lie the power to do so.

Gen. Manson’s Opponent. Eugene Bundy, of lleury' county, the nominee for Lieutenant Governor is a young man, comparatively, lie distinguished himself in the late session of the Legis lature as a State Senator. He has the ability', and his nomination is « deserved compliment.—[Rochester Republican. Did bo distinguish himself when he voted for that $175,000 State-house steal, or was it when he made a two hours’ speech against Senator 'MeCnllough’s Railroad bBl.regulating passenger and freight traffic? Will the Republicans please specify, as its leaders may desire to know'just how Bundy “distinguished himself.”— [Huntington Democrat. What makes Bundy particularly precious to the Republican party of Indiana lies in the fact that he was one of the small ring of Senators that tried to kill the Metropolitan 'Police bill. Instead ot doing that, the General Appropriation hill was strangled and Bundy is as much responsible for its death as any other man in Indiana, exeept, perhaps, Governor Porter and* Tom Hanna.—Indianapolis Sentinel. 1 Se*k ’■sto-u. will 3Fi»a.

(Continued from lcut week.) How Watch Cases are Made. Imitation always follows a successful article, and imitation is one of the best proofs of real honest merit; and thus it is that the James Boss? Gold Watch Case baa its imitators. Buyers can always tell the genuine by the trade-mark of a crown, from which is suspended a pair of scales. Be sure both iroicn and scales are stamped in the cap of the wateh case. Jewelers are very cautious about endorsing an article unless they not only know that it is good, but that the character of the manufacturers is such that the quality of the goods will be iept fully up to standard. _ Wilijamspokt, Pa..
