To the Editors of the Democrat Feeling a little uncertain as to the Rinp uence over the Republican papers of our county, I concluded it was better to trust to your generosity for the use of a small space in your paper than to be snubbed by riugsters.

Tho Indiana Progress had becomo so hopelessly subsidized to machine politics that it cannot submit with Christian resignation to the inevitable, but must bo predicting that the "machine" in 1SS4 will grind out a unanimous vote for General Grant. The Machine said this time that notwithstanding tho Republican party is pledged against a Third term the people want Grant and corrupt faction in the Republican parly. He took the risk and let them all roll in tho mud together. Tho way in which the Prog ressisedited of late reminds me very much of tho days of Knowuothingism when the venerable editor of the Register, seeing a statement that Gen. Santa Anna was about to visit this country, published a sensational article in bis paper, warning the people that if suffered to land he would mostcertainly usurp tho government ami crush tho life and soul out of Republicanism do not mean that there is any similarity between the predictions of the Progress and Register but merely wish to show the striking resemblance in broad comprehension, or what might be called Kiskimlnetas statesmanship.

The Editorial Excursion. On Monday, June 2Slh, we left Indiana to accompany the Eighth Ai.nual Excursion of the Pennsylvania Editorial Assn- the objective point being Watkins, in Si-huyler county, N. Y. Pro- couiliuR to Greensburg, where we wore compelled to go to tike the Day Express East, on the Pa. K.R., we met a number of excursions, bont on pleasure, and were soon speeding over the magnificent track of the best railroad in the world.

Gond time was made until we reached point oast of the mountains, when it became apparent that tho excursionists 'who expected to reach Williarnsport to join tho largo congregation of the "saints who had gone before," could not roach Harrisbur-r in time for tho regular train north. The gentlemanly conductor at once advi.sed our pai ty to off at Rockville, iivo miles wost of Ilurrisburg, and catch tlio train as it eamo along. At least twcnty- Hvo ladies ami gentlemen halted and were turned out to hunting water, some hunting berries, and oun high-toned editor, who had charge of a Saratoga trunk standing guard over tho precious contents. The last drink of water at that station was a groat improvement on Finally the train came along antl with lightning spopd were soon skirting tho Snsquohnnna river (on the oast side) viewing tuo boaulios of the most magnificent valley in Pennsylvania. A safe and pleasant run to Sunbnry, thonro to to Lowisburg Junction, to Milton, town so recently by tiro, situate iu the broad anil fertile valley of the from thenco to Williamsport, one of the handsomest aud most prosperous towns in the State, although carry ing load of debt that would sink a lo.s-s and on- terprisiug people.

At tho Park Hotel, (Old Hordick House) we were kindly cared for, altliouph our eastern friends who had proceeded us in tho Excursion train, had monopolized all tho good rooms. It was amusing to but the annoyance to the ladies who were placed in a sky parlor without a lock or bolt to their doors, could not appreciate it. They were onlv getting acquainted with tho company, and did not know that they were perfectly safe without even the appearance of a fastening. Wo paid our bills at the hotel the next morning iu full, aud taking the Excursion train were soon wending our devious way along tho sinuous stream leading norih, bending for the romantic glon at Watkio's. Wo passed the ruins of Minnequa where once the fashionable visitor was wont to drop off for a day or two to drink tho waters of the celebrated spring, impregnated with iron by sinking rusty'uails and iron filings to the bottom.

Tho glory of tho watering place, hotel and spring, departed with tho downfall of Petor Herdlck, and tho payment of the insurance money, for the buildings destroyed purposely by fire, is the last chapter in its existence. From thenco to Troy, in Bradford county, and from thence to Elmira, N. a handsome aud prosperous city, boasting a population of at least 30,000. After a good naturodscramble for a lunch economically tho purchase of the very last box of strawberries, we were off for Watkins which point was reached after 1:30 p.m. We had boon assigned by the "generalissimo and syndicate" quarters at the "Glen Park Hotel" owned and kept by Mr.

C. S. Frost, one of the most active and energetic business men in the town and the assignment proved to be a pleasant one. Of course the "syndicate" was at the "Mountain House," but as none of the excursionists cared to burthen themselves with the management of three hundred salt of the were content to obey orders without inquiring into the whys and wherefores. In fact everybody was happy, and didn't specially care whether school kept or not.

Of course, too, we done the the most approved the magnificence and beauties of Nature, as sat forth in its various forms, toiled up its stair cases and devious waysand threaded its mazy walks, drank in the inspiration of its pure air, and finally landed above the iron suspension bridge, on the Syracuse. Geneva and Corning Railway, at least five hundred foot above the level of Lake Seneca. The Glen bos been so frequently and eloquently described, that wo forbear a repetition, and can only say that it can only be appreciated, understood and en- joved, by being seeu. Next lo Niagara Falls and the Mammoth know of no more wonderful natural scenery, at least of the Mississippi river. On the morning of the 30th wo were off again for Ponn Yan and Keuka lake.

At tho former place the Excnrtionists to number of over 250, took the smallstoamor "Yatos," called after the county'in which the lake is situate, and after a delightful ride or Crooked wont ashore at Urbana, where are located the wine vaults of the Urbana Wine Coin- It is not necessary for us to say that but few of tho Exourtionists partook of the wine, for editors aud the wives and daughters of editors are noted for their strict sobriety and temperate habits, but some of them did indulge in a glass of the native wine and pronounced it good and pure. We embarked again and landed at Hanimoudsport, the extreme southern point of the lake, and took dinner or lunch at the "Fairchild House." We did not do Pleasant Valley because the narrow gauge railroad to Rheims did not have sufficient transportation for such a large crowd. We did, however, personally, having permission from tho "syndicate," interview tho the town to a certain extent, and found the people nearly for Hancock that young man Brown almost alouo exuopted; but as Brown is a "square" man he will come out all right yet. The "sail" up to Penn was delightful, and on our arrival at the beautiful little town, the inspiring strains of a brass band was heard, and tho march was taken to the train. We did not march, but taking a carriage was driven through the principal streets, and landed iu time for tho train.

Back again to the Glen Park Hotel, at Watkins. In tho evening that portion of the Association located at the Park Hotel cream of the party let it modestly bo said) was serenaded by the Watkins Cornet Band, under the direction of Prof. M. L. Foster.

Tli" boyM made good music and the born- have a respectable capacity for beer, as -Mr M. W. Morgan, of the Watkins Hotel, can testify. On Thursday morning our took in the beauties of Havana Glen, about three miles south of Watkins, a trip that no one who admires good scenery should omit. In the afternoon tho Eighth Annual Dinner camo olf with commendable eclat and promptness at tho "Glen Mountain Houso." Tho Banquet was presided over Clayton McMichael, of the Philadelphia North American, tho President of the Association, who made an excellent opening speech.

Tbe several toasts wore "Tho Press of tho State," Lady Railroads of our Wealth and Resources of our Invited and "Our Sister responded to with appropriate remarks. Tho speech of our friend, Wm. Kennedy, of the PoUsville Chronicle, was notably a happv effort. We were somewhat disappointed that our friend, D. M.

7.iramor- maii, Secretary and Treasurerof.tho Camdcn and Atlantic City Railroad, was called away, and did uot get off his little speech, but his place was very ably filled by Mr. F. J. McWade, of the Pa. R.R.

one of the genial gentlemen who knows so well how to make the editorial fraternity foel at home. Tho banquet over, tho resolutions appended to this brief sketch were unanimously adopted, Mr. McMichael proposed a vote of thanks to our energetic and gentlemanly Secretary. R. S.

Menamin, accompaning the motion with an eloquent tribute to his worth, indefatigable industry and energy, which was adopted with "three times three" rousing cheers So ended the formal meeting of the Editorial Association for 1880. In company with a large number of tho Excursionists, our Western members being desirous to reach homo on Saturday, wo left Watkins on the early train Friday morning, and arrived at Har- risburgjusta few moments too late to take the Western train. In tho evening we stopped at the United States Hotel, with our friend Emmingor, who keeps ono of tho best houses in tho U. S. At 10:30 p.m.

wo left for tho West and stopped at Altoona to recruit our energies, stopping with our friend Robert Black, at the "Arlington" House. Ou Saturday aftornoon loft for home and arrived at Indiana on time. Whilst wo enjoyed the trip, and came homo in a good humor with all tho excursionists, the great drawback to us was tho absence of some of our old time friends.
