The Election.
When we say we are glad that the gen
tleman who received the nomination was
elected to the legislature, we do so re
gardless of all other than party feeling.
The standing of the two gentlemen in
the county was as good as any in the
county, and the contest was reduced to
the question of sustaining the nomitia
tion of the convention of July 22, the
legitimacy of which no subsequent meet
ing has ever questioned. Had the court
week mass meeting’s proceedings been
endorsed by the people, then the action
of the nominating convention would
have been abrogated, which action of it
self would have denied the authority of
the Executive Committee, and all parly
organization and obligation would have
been totally disrupted Could a mass
meeting of a portion of the people have
demanded fealty when that very body
absolved party fealty to another body
just as legitimate as itself ? Could not
another number of discontented ones
have worked around with the minority
of that mass meeting and sown seeds of
discontent among the absent, until an
other mass meeting would be deemed
necessary to produce “harmony” in the
party? And so the matter might have
gone on indefinitely until the election
cut short the farce.
The fact that the gentleman who op
posed the regular nominee was one of
the most popular men in the county is
the best evidence that the people are
right—“Vox populi vox Dei”—and will
result, we hope, in settling the status of
independent candidates in this county
forever hereafter.
While on the subject of conventions,
wo would state our honest opinion to be
that, with the strong party in the county
opposed to them, we question the advis
ability of nominations save where circum
stances render them necessary, and when
conventions are held and there are those
who complain that they had no voice in
it, let it be to their shame that they say
they knew their rights but were too tim
id to assert them. The party can in no
wise be held responsible for individual
carelessness or weakness.
Important Elections.
Ohio and Indiana held their elections
yesterday, which are probabley the most
important electirns to take place before
the great contest of November. If
Indiana goes Democratic, the election
of Tiiden in November is considered
very probable ; if it goes Radical, the
election of Tiiden is considered possible;
if both States go Democratic a Dem
ocratic triumph in November is certain.

ORGANS IN CHURCHES.
It seems that there is considerable interest
manifested in organ music at the present time
in some localities. When anything new is
brought into vogue, no matter what it is, more
or less interest is felt in it. We see it holds
good in regard to games. The love and desire
for sports of any sort is contagious. Men used,
several years ago, to pitch silver dollars ; and it
6oon became a practice all over the country. It
would.be quite a praise-worthy game now, if tuey
had the dollars to pitch, and would pitch them
iu the right direction. It was once a very gen
eral sport to throw heavy weights, such as ham
mers, &c. Marbles is a game that is sometimes
prevalent all over the country, and young and
old are alike very fond of the game. Lately
base-ball playing seems to be the game Well,
like pitching dollars, throwing weight, and base
ball, the organ is coming into notice and favor
with a great many people. We hear of schools
being taught all over the country, accompanied
by the organ. We do not object to this week
days, if carried out right; but on the Sabbath
we would hope and beg to be excused, if we
should differ a little from those who argue for
organ music on the Sabbath. It would appear
to us that the Sabbath could.be better employed
than in organ music. We are well aware of
the fact that many great and good men are very
strong advocates of having regular instrumental
music in every church. If we differ, friends,
excuse ; for every man is entitled to his
opinion on the subject. We would not set up
to be the dictator, counselor or ru.er; for we
are neither prophet, priest nor king; but as we
grant to all the free exercise of their opinions,
tve only ask the same for ourselves. As we see
several articles on organ music in Thu Gazette
tve concluded, with the permission of the editor,
to pen a short article. The organ of course ex
cites people ; but is it a religious excitement- ?
It cabs, claims and secures their attention; but
is it a religious attention ? It causes a great
many to go to church ; but do they go to bear
good preaching or to hear good music ? While
the organ is playing, do they not feel more like
they were in a ball-room, than in the house of
God? Who can take the Bible and find one
single instance of music (inst.umental music)
doing any good at all ? Friends, please answet
the above questions, fairly and squarely ; for
there is talent in the county, and we wish to be
get right if wa are wrong ; but it we are right,
we hope no one will take offence ; for our in
tentions are not to offend any one.

The attempt to make Governor Tiiden
cut a swindler of the Government in
the matter of his income tax, thirteen
years ago, is an electioneering trick
devised by the frightened supporters of
Governor Hayes. Mr. Tiiden is a man
of method, a lawyer of approved ability
and a citizen punctilious in the perform
ance of his legal duties. Mr. George
Bliss is a smart fellow in his way, but
he has not caught Samuel J. Tiiden, and
does not expect to catch- him. The
threatened income tax suit is a piece of
political farce.—[N. Y. Sun.

WHAT IS VEGETINE ?
It is a compound extracted from barks, roots
and herbs. It is Natuie's Remedy. It is perfectly
harmless from any bad effect upon the system.
It is nourishing and strengthening. It acts direct
ly upon the blood. It quiets the nervous system.
It gives you pood sweet. leep at night. It is a
panacea for uur aged fathers and mothers, for it
gives them strength, quiets their nerves, fund
gives them Nature’s sweet sleep,—as lias been
proved by many ati aged person. It is the great
B.ood Purifier. It is a soothing remedy for our
children. It has relived and cured thousands.
It is very pleasant to take ; every child likes it.
It relieves and cures all diseases originating from
impure blood. Try the VEGETINE. Give it
a fair trial for year complaints; then you will
say to your friend, neighbor and acquaintance,
“Try it; it has cured me.”
RELIABLE EVIDENCE.
The following unsolicited testimonial from
Rev O T Walker, formerly pastor of Bowdoin
Square Church. Boston, and at present settled in
Providence, It. 1., must be deemed as reliable
evidence. No one should fail to observe that
this testimonial is the result o''two years’ expe
rience with the ‘use of Vegetine in the Rev Mr
Walker’s family, who now pronounce it invalua
ble :
Providence, R 1., 184 Transit Str-et.
H. R. Stevens, Esq. : I feel hound to express
with my signature the high value I place upon
your Vegetine. my family have used it for the
last two years. In nervous debility it is inval
uable, and I recommend it to all who may need
an invigorating, renovating tonic.
0. T. Walker, Formerly Pastor
of Bowdoin Square Church, Boston.
The ESest Evidence.
The following letter from Rev E S Best, Pas
tor of the M E Sinirch, Natick, Mass., will be
read wi‘h interest by many physicians; also
those suffering from the same disease as afflicted
the son el the Rev E 8 Best. No person can
doubt this te timony, as there is no doubt about
the curative power of Vegetine.
Natick, Mass , Jan, Ist, 1876.
Mr. 11. R. Ssevens —Dear Sir: We have
good reason for regarding your Veoeti.nb a med
icine of the greatest value. We feel assured
that it has been tiie means of saving our sond
liie. He is now seventeen years of age; for the
last two years he lias suffered from necrosis of
the leg, caused by icrofulous affection, and was
so far reduced that neatly all who saw him
thought his recovery impossible A council of
able physicians could give us but the faintest
hope of his ever rallying; two of the number
declaring that he was beyond the reach of hu
man remedies, that even amputation could not
save him as he had not vigor enough to endure
the operation. Just then we commenced giving
him Vegetine and from .hat. lime to the present
he has been continuously improving. Ho has
lately thrown away his crutches and cane, and
walks about cheerfully and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where the limb was lanced, we have the
fullest confidence that in a little time he will be
perfectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of
Vegetine, but lately uses but little, as he ue
dares he is too well to be taking medicine.
Respectfully yours,
E. S. BEST,
lm Mrs. L. G. F. BEST.
