LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCER, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4. 1882. ILancastet tntriligencet. SATURDAY EVENING, NOV. 4. 1862. A Shattered Party. The election contest is about over and nearly every voter has made up his mind as to how his vote is to be cast. Upon the side of the Democracy it has been a very comfortable campaign, because there has been unity in the past and great confidence in the result. They see their enemy hopelessly divided and delivered into their hands. The result of Tuesday is very well foreshadowed, the only doubt in this state being as to the relative vote to be ca3t by the Republi can factions. The hundred thousand votes that the Independents have been assigned are very likely to be more. Their chance of getting the biggest half of the party vote is very good. The revolt against the domination of tiii: family that has so loug ruled the state has extended through the party from the bottom to the top. The latest head to fall into the line is tho high head of the governor of Pennsylvania. He has been instructed by the masses. His courage to revolt has come from the inspiration below him. He sees where the strength of the party lies, and that it is not in the old leaders. They are deserted. The loss of the election will leave them shorn of all pretense of power in the stale. The aid of the national administration will not keap in them the breath of life. II will be lei t loo weak to stand itself. Arthur will bo exhibited as a failure ; his party will be shown to begone. It has lived beyond its natural life by the corrupt devices of those who had it in hand. Temporarily successful in the fraudu lent schemes which kept it in power, it now is pushed out, ragged and torn and too forlorn to hope for a speedy rehabili tation. The defeat which it now en counters crushes it, and leaves it un prepared to maintain its existence out of power. It has no vital force left. Be fore it is again felt it must be reorgan ized, rcclothed and renamed. There is nothing left of it but fragments.and they cannot be re-united in the old shape. The JVcic Era assails the editor of Ihe Columbia Herald for supporting Collins, the Democratic candidate for senator against Kauffmau, the Independent can didate, and ascribes his course to the in fluence of Senator Cameron. What may be the iulluence moving Mr. Grier wedo not know ; but we know of good motives that should move him which are amply sufficient; and thjy are that Abraham Collins is a fit man for senator, and he is the Democratic nominee. The Col umbia Ji -?(f,beiug a Democratic news paper, it would be strange, indeed, if itdid not support lit Democratic nominees for office. If it did not we should look for a base motive for its action. If it supported Kauffmau against Collins it would do a very unjustifiable and unwise thing. The Democratic policy in the Northern district is manifestly to let the Republi cans settle their disagreement about their candidates for Senate between themselves. So far as political con siderations go the Democrats have no reason for preference between Slehman and Kauffmau. Slehman is the candi date of Cameion and will vote for him for senator. If the majority of the Re publicans of the district waul Cameron to be senator they have a right to have their senator vole for him, if they can elect him over tho Democratic nominee, who will, if chosen, vote for a Demo crat and not for Cameron or Stewart or any ether Republican. Democrats have no business to meddle in the Republican quarrel ; their policy is to mind their own business, vote for their own worthy candidates and let the consequences take care of themselves. It is a strange idea, indeed, of the Independent Republicans that the Democratic party shall help them to get control of their paity; if their parly has not inherent vigor suffi cient to throw off its evil leadeis, it must go out and give place to a party better led ; as it is about to do. The North American and United Stules Gaxille , which claims to be the oldest daily newspaper in America, and which was for many jears the oigan of the Federal party, is still tinctured with the leaven of Federalism. In an tdi toiial today it berates the Democratic party for making judges elective "and Hinging the judiciary into the arena ot political conflict." In another ediloiial our Federal contemporary shows its hate of Jefferson ian Demociacy in these words: "Tinkering is the forte of the Democratic party. It is the training school of tinkers and cobblers. It never originated any great public policy in all its chequered existence. Rut it has often destroyed what others have builded, and it has caused several great measi.ie.s to degenerate into things of shreds and patches. It has no gratitude. Whatever it has done, of which it can presume Jo boast, it got the idea from Hamilton. And it has spent a good part of its ex istence in cursing Hamilton. The man who is claimed as the progenitor of the party was a good hater of Hamilton, yet it was Hamilton's' system of finance which enabled him to emerge from the executive office with credit anil acclaim. Tu play in the hands of BUch a party is Bomethiug no conscientious Hepuhlican can aifoid to do." The Philadelphia Ercning Thy tajik pla)cd the trump card in the IIot busi ness and deserves to receive the credit. Its editorial on Thursday evening, " This Way, Governor," was admirably calculated to hit its mark, and no doubt it went straight to Hoyt's heart, after the brutal manner in which he had been treated by Mr. Cameron's Harrisburg organ. Early yesterday morning the governor telegraphed to one of the edi tors of the Telegraph his kindly ac knowledgment and added, " You will get the response you wish before you go to press today." Aud then he sat down and wrote his open letter aud put it on the wire, even before it had been revised. It was a big journalistic strike. Well, Hoyt U over the fence, und now look out for a general stampede of the henchmen. (joreraor Hoyt SpeaKs. Governor Hoyt, if he speaks late, speaks strongly. He makes no uncer tain utterance. He writes with warmth, point and frankness. He claims no credit for early independence ; that cer tainly is uot his ; but he shows plenty of repentance not only for his tardy recog nition of the nceJ for the revolt in his party against boss rule, but also for such share of that rule as he himself is re sponsible for. Gov. Hoyt has not only floated along with and in the machine, but he has been one of its propellers aud beneficiaries. It is this last considera tion probably which has had much to do with tying his tongue to the obnoxious methods of its leaders, which he began fully to realize when he suffered from their tyranny and selfish impulses. Gov. Hoyt naturally is a decent man, as he is certainly an intelligent and able one. He is much superior intellectually and morally to the men who have ruled his party with a rod of iron and whose favor ho has measurably enjoyed. Na turally he is not in sympathy with them. His decent feelings find no attraction to their coarser impulses. He breaks his coalition with them now formally, as long since it was broken essentially. He speaks because he says he 13 advised that after the election all the expiring power of the machine leaders is to be used .to punish those who have brought upon them the humiliation and defeat that awaits them in that tii.il It 'Cm- the p pie. The verdict is not to lu respected ; its lesson is not to be heeded ; but the power which is in the hands of the na tional administration, which is at the beck of the party bosses of t'.ie state, is to be used with vindictive and savage energy. Xo peace be ing in sight Gov. Hoyt declares for war late but effectually. His letter will command, not less by his position than by its intrinsic force and truth, thousands of votes against the regular aud for the Independent Republican ticket. What asses these Republican bosses are ! Chaiumax Cooi'Kit's people ought to be a little more careful in the distribu tion of their documents, so that the right seed may fall in its proper field. The Republican managers are operating on tho religious prejudices of the" people through two so-called religious news papers, one the Catholic Tabid and the other the Protestant Standard. They send the latter to Protestants and the foimer to Catholics, when they don't make any mistakes. Rut Father Kaul, pastor of one of Ihe Catholic churches, has received a copy of the Standard, containing a list of Pattison's employees, among whom it says there is only one Methodist, but plenty of Catholics. Evidently that was not tho kind of information intended to ba furnished by the Republican com mittee to a Catholic priest ; and tho more work of that kind tho committee does the worse it will be off. This, in deed, is the case with a great deal of its work. Mr. Cooper has a hard task cer tainly to draw in all the discordant ele ments to his standard ; and he is show ing very little expertness at the work. His devices are many, but mostly miscarry sadlv. Ruimmeu's statement is a startling exposure of the depravity of the class in our city that has cost it so much by its incendiary spirit. And how easily it has been broken up when a hand was laid upon it. Dr. Fitpatrick is entitled to the credit of the great relief his saga cious arrest of Rrimmcr has brought to the city. What a good thing it is to have vigilance aud intelligence and zeal In public officers ; how much would we have saved if it had been earlier exhib ited in the pursuit of this gang of fire bugs. " A way's wages not to vote '" is now the last desperate cry of the corrupt bosses. Rut they will find that the miners and other workmen, whom they thus infamously insult, will turn and rend them at the polls. The fact of such villainous schemes being contemplated, however, should rouse every honest citi zen to go to the polls and deposit a straight ticket for Democracy and re form. Ir the people of Pennsylvania held as they ought the siber, yet ringing words of their chief magistrate, Pattison's $ plurality will be an hundred thousand. Let us bury tho bosses so deep that 1 hey can never b3 resurrected. "Tkadk everything for Beaver" is the rural order of the beaten bosses. Hut they will find many of the local candidates will trade Reaver to save themselves if they can do it. It is de moralization everywhere. m It is now certain that a large number of Republicans will "sho.it straight" for Pattisou and reform. They are de termined the machine shall b2 smashed, and don't propose to take any more risks. Guess Cooper's brilliant army of cam paign orators from other states con cluded to come some other year. Even Keifer didn't make but one speech, and then he passed on to help bury Robeson. Rememheu the Legislature. Mr. Collins should be aud will be the next senator from the 1-Ith district if every Democratic voter therein does his duty. lr ihe bosses are not more careful of what little money they have, there won't be enough left on Tuesday night tD buy candles for the wake. Cameron is probably too full for ut terance on the Hoyt business. But if he don't have the jumping toothache it will be (inter. Gov. Hoyt, was a long timo a coming, but whon he did get down ho made some thing of a stir. Do you want a governor at Harrisburg who will not be the tool of corrupt bosses? Vote for Robert E. Pattison. Do you want to emancipate tho great state of Pennsylvania from tho degrading bossism of tho houss of Lochiel V Vote for Robert E. Pattison. It begius to look like a disastious Stal-' wart break-down before Tuesday. There is increasing trouble in every section, and the local bosses find it impossible to keep their halting followcir. in line. Pattison has had the same magnificent teceptiou in the Eastou ami Stroudsburg region that has met him everywhere. II it, campaign tour has been a triumphal pro gress frcm the begiuniug. Young men casting their first vote should joiu the reform army and rally under the banner of the bravo young ;e formerwho will be tho next governor of Pennsylvania as tare us the suu rises to morrow.

Do you want a governor, who iu the djiug horns of his administration will not have to make proclamation in the public confessional of the humiliation to which he has been subjected by an iucspoiisiblo " boss" during his entire term? Vote for Robert E. Pattisou, brave, fearless, incor ruptible tho servant of no man.

Ihwteratie, State platform. Thomas A. Armstrong, the Greenback Labor candidate, has found at last that in many times going to tho well tho pitcher has been broken. His transparent dicker with the Stalwarts to draw oil' tho labor vote fiom Pattisou and thus elect Reaver has deceived nobody. William Howard, the caudidato for lieutenant governor, ou the same ticket, opanly denounces his double dealing and says: " Henceforth neither the National nor Labor paitycan place auy coufidenco iu Mr. Armstrong. To gratify his personal ambition he has betrayed tho tiust they reposed in hiu and has thereby forfeited all claim to their support." Tho Stalwart dikes aro one by one giting way before tho mighty Hood which is beuing tho Democratic party on to victory. Tin: " boss " system, not content with vitiating the atmosphorc of puty politics, appears to have eaten its way iuto the chinch. Tho Observer, m :iu editoiial, under the head of Boases iu the Church," says: " While the people iu several states are rising iu rebellion against tho self-appoiutcd managers, vulgarly called bosses, we laise the inquiry if it is uot im portant to icsitt tho same evil in the church. The most of men prefer to have other jKjoplo do their thinking. It is easier to follow than t-i lead, to bj go -erncd than to govern. And so it comes to pass in tho state and in tho church that power is "constantly trending from the many to tho few. Ambitious scheming, aud strong men with nr-ivj and v.i'l power, take things into thei. own hviils auu vorv soon tnoy navo :. inic:wue which thoy run in their own iutcrosr, iu spite of tho popular voice. Who pulling managing, scheming, bargaining, and all that sort of thing are bad enough iu tho stato. In the church anything or tho kind is intensely abhorrent to ev.ry ri .ht mind. 'In houor preferring ouj anoths. ' is a fit motto lor the church of Christ. He that would bo the greatest, ought I bs tho servant of all. Aud the leaders iu the church should be tho humblest of the dis- I ciplos of Him who humbled Himself. Yet it is easy to sqo that in every denomina tion of Christians there aro man who as sume tho reins aud drivo. They are usually bold aud strong men who ouce having got tho upper baud, kept it for years, and have things their own way. It is good to see that in some parts of tho country thero is an uprising iu the church to overthrow this ' boss ' dynasty. It is a good sign. Let the work go on." PERSONAL.

The oil market in Bradford, on Friday, was tho centre of attraction. Ever sinco the monthly oil report the market has been jaining htrength, and Friday it showed itelf. The opening figure was 97j. It remained this figure during the forenoon, but during the afternoon session prices be gan to ascend. The dollar point was reached and the excitement was intense.

Kflect WHlcU the Governor' lfroadtlde Has Upon I'olltlcal netting Heavy Odds In Favor of FattUon. The pool sales at McColgan's, in Phila delphia, felt tho effect of Governor Hoyt's letter. At the opening it was apparent that the "short-ends," or Beaver men, wcro completely demoralized. "I have ton dollars that both Pattisou and Clevolaud will be elected ! Ten dollars ten, ten, and no takers !" were the quick exclamations of tho auctioneer. "One hundred on Pattisou !" was tho next cry "How much for Beaver-thirty-fivc, forty, foity-five, fifty? and going at fifty !" At no timo could thoso supporting Pat tisou get a bet unless they gavo two to ono. On Cleveland, for governor of New York, the odds wero even greater than heretofore, no one offering more than one quarterof what the Democrat brought.

During the evening it was announced at tho Giranl house that a man from Cleveland was there ottering $500 evcu up that Stewart would not poll 05,000 votes. McColgau.at onco sent over a forfeit of $100, but tho man from the country wanted tho wholo amount at once or nothing. It was also stated that several Stalwart Republicans had mado up a purse of $5,000 and that they .would throw it iuto the pool box to-day or Monday, at highest figures, for tho purpose of boost ing Beaver. A few days ago an ex-city commissioner mado a wager with an ex-councilman from the Seventeenth ward that Beaver would be elected, no placed $500 upon this, while the frieud of Pattison put up $1,000. When tho latter was through ho wa3 of fered $10,000 upon the same conditions, which was refused. A bet was made yes terday of $500 even that Pattison would have 10,000 plurality. Following upon this was ono of $1,000 to $750 that Pattison would havo raoro votes in Philadelphia thau Beaver. Whoa the latter bet was made tho parties who put up tho $750 declared themselves leady to place. $10,000 upon tho same odds. A well-known Democratic politician of tho Twenty-ninth ward made a wager yesterday of $500 even that Patti son would havo 10,000 plurality, and $50 against $100 that Pattison would havo 15,000 plurality. Ho afterwards wagered $1,000 against $500 that Pattisou would be elected. A liOSS LAI1UK HODGE. Trying to Influence Knlghtsof tabor by Pre tence and Subterfuge. Packages havo been sent out from Pitts burgh to secretaries of local assemblies of the Knights of Labor, which, whon opened, aro found to contain regular Greenback state tickets and state tickets of all other parties with Armstrong's namo substituted for governor. A short sketch of Armstrong's life is also en closed, together with a notice worded as follows : " To tho secretary : If you have no sym pathy with the only labor man over nomi nated for governor in Pennsylvania, and prefer rather a corporation attorney, please hand this ticket to somo brother who does bclievo that labor should vote for its own candidate and is earnestly of tho conviction that an injury to ono is the concern of all." This notice, printed on a blip of papor, boro no siguature or mark, tho only clue to its origin being the postmark on the package, but the idea was evidently in tended to bo conveyed that it emanated from tho grand officers of tho Knights of Labor, as it was addressed to local secre taries. Mr. Simpson, tho secretary of the assembly in Oil City, immediately sus pected that all was not right and bo wrote to Grand Secretary Layton concerning it. He received a reply from Mr. Layton, say ing . " I never knew or suspicioaed that any circular for a political purposo was being sent to tho order. Don't forget that this order is not and cannot bo made iuto a political or partisan machine for any party or cliquo whatever.

Tho Republican majority in Pennsylva nia, outside of Philadelphia, when the party was uuitcd, rarely exceeded 10,000 and frequently disappeared altogether. The majority in Philadelphia has gener ally equaled the eutiro majority in the wholo state. In 1878 Hoyt led Dill outside of Phila delphia by only about 4,000. At that election Mason, Grcenbacker, took 10,000 moro votes from Dill than Armstrong can possibly take fiom Pattison. Stewart, Independent Republican, will receive at least (10,000 Republican votes outsido of Philadelphia, which will send Pattison to that city with 50,000 plurality on tho basis of tho Dill vote. The same kind of attack was made on Mr. Dilll that is now made on Mr. Patti son. But if the Republicans had lost 00,000 votes to an Independent candidate Mr. Dill would havo been elected by nearly 40,000 plurality. The prospect Of Democratic success, therefore, could not bo brighter than it is. It is only necessary for Democrats to turn out to the election and east tlteir rotet to uin an oteric'hclming tictoru. . m Hoyt Will Vote (or Stewart. Governor Hoyt was asked whether ho meant by his lotter that he would support Stewart, to which he replied that such was the implication. To another interroga tory he responded that he was for Stewart and would voto for him. The letter has created a big sensation. Tho sup porters of Beaver claim that it will have no effect on the prospects of the regular ticket. They are unsparing in their denun ciation of the governor for his course, and treat his statement that he had given the Republican ticket a formal support until now with contempt. Tho Independents aro highly elated over tho governor's let ter, which they consider an ablo pressnta tiou of thj position of their party and of gicat assistance to them iu the present campaign. Tho Democrats serenely con template the effect of the letter. Gover nor Hoyt was the recipient of numerous telegrams congratulating him ou the stand he! taken. PATTISON'S LAST TOUE. MAKING Sl'EECMES ON THIS WASSIUK. A Spicy AddiCM at Kaaton How tne Candi date wan Uecelved Dy the People of Northampton and Monroe. Pattison's greeting in Stroudsburg Fri day night was enthusiastic. He spoke to a great audience and his telling points wero keeuly relished by the assembled Democrats. Mr. Pattison has had a lively day. He left Philadelphia early Friday morning aud the train stopped at Quaker town at '.l:'.'0. Eight hundred people weie in waiting. Tho candidates progress from tho depot to the hotel was an ovation. After a short speech aud baud shaking with tho crowd tho trip was renewed, leaving an enthusiastic mcctiug iu pro gress. At Buthlchcm there was another ovation and at Easton there was a grand turnout by the people. The controller was accompanied by Senator James Gay Goidon, Frank Gcise, of York, and George II. Hoffman, of Philadelphia. When tho train arrived at 1 1 :20 the party wa heart ily cheered. After Mr. Pattison was seat ed in a carriage with Congressman Mutch ler, E. J. Fox and Senator Gordon, tho Pattison ciub of Lafayette college gavo thrco times three for the young standard bearer, who was then introduced to the students by Mr. Fov. Mr. Pattison thank ed the students of Lafayette for their re ceptiou, assured them that ho hau met with tho same enthusiastic deuiocstiatious from L ike Erie to tho Delawato and had no doubt that tho stato government wculd bo restored again to its original purity. As tho procession, ticaded by tho Naza reth baud, moved along tho route to tho Franklin house, the headquarters of the paity, Mr. Pattison was frequently cheer ed by the great mass of peoplo assembled on tho sidewalk. At ono o'clock the doois of the opcia hnusi wcro thiown open aud soon a dense throng tilled tho chairs, pai quet and circles. Congiessman Mutchler called the meeting to order. E. J. Fox presided and introduced Mr. Iitti.va and the people shouted themselves home. When quiet had bsen restored ho thanked the audicnco for their attendance auu then began his half hour speech. Refeiriug to the delinquent taxbill ho showed it to boa scheme to piovide for a needy politician and givo him a salary, by percentage of seven hundred dollars per day. Ho charged that tho Legislature, corrupted and corrupting and representing all sec tions of the stato, was responsible for this. Tho people petitioned against it, as did their forefathers petition King George III, and the petition was refused. I say to you, my fellow citizens," ha continued, "that it is as little as wo can do to go to tho polls as they went to the battle, and to givo our ballots, as thoy wcro willing to give their lives, to remove this tyranuy and to declare as they did that wo are free men." Next ho attacked the iccordcr's office, iu Philadelphia, and as he paused at tho end of a sentence and, walking dc libciately along the stage, said: "By their fruits jo shall kuow them," tho au dicnco responded with a burst of applause. Ho severely criticised tho uso of public office foi party purposes. Making a tell ing allusion to the People's bank in Philadelphia and the unlawful depositing of money there, ho declared that statu money was deposited in certain banks us a reward for party services. lli declara tion that tho people could, would aud should put an end to this was teceived with great applause Perhaps the hst point mado in his speech was his careful argument as to tho uttor demoralization, by means of tho boss system, of young men honorably ambitious to servo their fellow-citizens in office. Ho pictured a young, ambitious man caught in the toils of political schemers, mined, degrad ed, lot, morally and socially, through the boss tystem. Ho re peated the inscription on tho state coal-of-arms aud .said that the bosses had blotted it out aud had wiittcu these "Ad dition, Division aud Silence." His allu sion to the Independent cause and its growing strength was received with three rousing cheers, and his peroration, declar ing that over the door of every olliees holder should bo written Tho will of tho people is the law of the land," closed his speech in a whirlwind of applause. Sena tor Gordon then spoko for five minutes and Mr. Geiso Jollowcd. Ho referred to tne similarity ot tno JJamocratic majori ties in York aud Northampton counties, predicted that York would givo 4,500 ma jority aud invited Northampton to do tho Bamc. At the conclusion of his remarks tho speakers, committee and a host of Democrats, headed by the band, made their way to the Pennsylvania depot in Phillipsburg, N. .1., whero Sir. Pattisou and tho reht of tho speakers took tho o o'clock train for Stroudsburg. Tho party arrived at Stroudsburg at 4:15. There were the usual scones at the depot. The visitors were mat by the Pat tisou club of tho town, four hundred strong, and, accompanied by two bauds, they procceccd in carriages to tho Iudiati Queen house, where Mr. Pattisju held a reception till G o'clock. The psilors of tho hotel wero crowded for over an hour with citizens of both parties. Tho meet ing in the evening was held at tho court house, which was tilled to overflowing with people, mauy of whom traveled over thirty miles of mountain road. Mr. Pat tison's speech was listened to with marked atteution. Ho discussed the livo issues of tho campaigu with a direct!. ens and foico that mado a visib'e impression on tho audience. Senator Gordon and Mr. Geiso also addressed tho meeting. Thero was tho utmost enthusiasm inani fested and every mention of Mr. Pattisou's name was received with round aftor round of applause, no was assured by enthusi astic Democrats that Monroo county would givo tho largest majority ever 10 ccived by a Democratic caudidato.

What the Catholic Citizen of Colombia and Lancaster Have to Say About tne Attempted Cheat. Among the circulars that are being sent all over the state from the Stalwart head quarters in Philadelphia is one addressed to the "Irish-American Citizens of Penn sylvania." It is a copy of tho state ment published in tho New York Tablet, a paper which was bought up for the occa sion, and which is being circulated by certain postmasters free of charge. The circular contains the bogus "Mac aud O" speech of Controller Pattison, a speech which Pattison denies ever having made. Tho circular has eighty signatures of per sons all over tho state, said to represent tho "Irish Catholic Association of Penn sylvania." Among the names are thoso of Joseph.. Kearns, who runs a bogus Irish stato committee at 2113 German town avenue ; J. C. Delaney, one of the meu employed by Cameron to attempt the purchase of voters ; Captain Gallagher atd other eminent statesmen of that sort. Copies of these documents have been re ceived by many of tho Irish Catholic citizans of Lancaster, Columbia and other places in the county, and how tho at tempted cheat is resented will bo seen by the following card printed in . the Phila delphia Times this morning. Columbia Irishmen Denounce the FrauU. To thu Editor oi tho Times. We, the undersigned, havo been placed in possession of a circular, addressed, "To tho Irish-American Citizens of Pennsylva nia," issued and circulated by tho paid servants of tho "Clan Cameron." The intent and purposo of this brochure is to mislead the careless and credulous, to turn tiipm from the lino of duty and corrupt their fidelity to fixtd piinciples. Wo take this method of denouncing tho circular alluded to as a shameful titsuo of false hoods, colored and glossed to effect the eud.s of a herd of political r.tMsals. This reiteration of exploded liec notably the one imputing to Robert E. Pattisou con temptuous allusion to the Mcs and Os rehashed and certified by "tinkers" and covert ;" Orangemen, " will not do its inventors any good. The ostensible autuois of this detestablo work, though they bear the names of an honored an cestry, are not truo Irishmen. The " dirty drop " shows itself in their actions, and no Irishman with a soul in his body is likely to suffer himself to be mado the dupe or a fool of a tribe of hired rascals aud renegades. We are Irishmen true blue love every blade of grass that grows upon our island home, but tho falso and deceitful appeals made to our patriotism by such tramps as Delaney, Gallagher, Keains and their fellow-tinkers must for ever fall unheeded upou our cars. We know that nothing emanating from such men can have in it the substance of honesty, for "figs do not grow upou thistles." These meu hayo proven false to principlo, false to their true interests, false to tho honor of their race. Wo aro Democrats because tho Democratic party has been our shield, tho protection of our people. We some of us at least well lemem bcr tho fact that leading Stalwart Re publicans, tho present owners and mas ters of Delaney, Gallagher aud their tribe, wero the head and frout of Nat iv ism iu 1844 aud loading Kuow-Nothings ten years later. Wo remember who led tho wretches who burned our churches and schools, desecrated our altars and profaned even tho graves of our dead. Wo cannot be duped by tho Cameron clan, tho hoary hcaded chief of which affiliated with our bitter enemies, and we' havo not forgotten that it was the glorious old Democratic party led by tho indomitablo Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, that slew tho foul mon ster that sought to take away our liber ties aud our lives. In conclusion, wc wish it to be distinctly understood that, whilst wo aro attached to our dear mother church as it were with hooks of steel, and aro ready to offer up our lives in defense of our laith, wo detest beyond exprcssiou tho conduct of the wretches who would drag religion from its place upon tho alter to be disgraced by an unholy alliance with poli tics. Let this bo our answer to Delaney, Gallagher and tho Now York 2'ablet, dis graced by its allianco with Quay and Cooper. To the newspaper referred to wo shall hereafter say : "Get behind us, Satan 1" and seek for a monitor not likely to sell itself for a mess of pottago a pitiful bribe. We call upou our countrymen to stand rloof from anything that looks, smells or tastes nf Cameron. In behalf of tho Irish American citizens of Columbia, Pa. James Gaoin, James O'IIaui:, Dennis McCakty, Wm. McCai.i., Ciiaiu.es McCai.t., Committee November 2, 1882. P. S. Tho authors of tho circular ic ferred to say thoy ropresent the " Irish Catholic association of Pennsylvania." There is no such association. Tho Irish Catholics havo not banded together for any purpose, and when theso men inti mate Mich a thing as a fact they simply lie. How it Upc rites In I aocaater. A fierce storm of indignation has been aroused among the Irishmen and Catholics of this city, many of whom have icceivcd, f withiu the past fow days, documents bear- iu" on their faces tho brazen marks cf falsehood, and calculated to iufluenco their votes against the Democratic ticket. Tho thorough exposure which puoaded their distribution has turned them into boomer angs, tho recoil of which their projectors well may fear. This last desperate tiick of tho Stalwarts to savo their ticket by ap pealing to race and religious prejudice of voters will iucrcaso and intensify the feol ing that tho machine must bo overthrown. The documents in question aro an ad dress to Irish American exhorting them to cut tho Democratic ticket because, it has treated them unjustly and rehashing manyof the lies about Democratic hatred for the Irshmen and Catholics. Enclosed in the circular is a Stalwatt and Greenback-Labor ticket printed together. A copy of the New Yort Tablet, venal sheet, which long ago parted with its patrouage by decent Catholics, is sent along with the circular. It contains the falso " Mcs and O's " story which is carefully marked eo as to attract attention. A number of prominent Irish Catholics wero seen by a representative of the In telligencer this morning, and they one and all pronounce it as a foul insult to their race aud creed. Dr. McCulIagh, pastor of St. Mary's church, when called upon in referenceto the matter, stated that ho had received tlio documents alluded to, and could scarcely restrain his indignation at this baso attempt to irapjso upon the credulity of Irish Catholics. He personal ly know one of the ring leaders of tLe movement to be a man who masqueraded as a Catholic for worldly purposes, whilo at heart a renegade. He resented tho sending of the documents as an insult to himsslt and the creed which ho professes, and if a word from him wonld be of any avail to exposo this trick to hoodwink Irish voters he would cheerfully give it. Many others were seen who expressed even stronger sentiments, and the intense feeling against tho Stalwarts, which this last device has aroused, will have tho effect of largely increasing tho Dcmocratie majority in this city. Another miserable conspiracy of the machine was unearthed this morning in tho reception by a German Catholic cler gyman, probably through mistake, of a paper called the Protestant Standard, which devotes a number of columns to an entreaty to Methodists not to vote for Pattisou because he has more Roman Catholics as clerks in his office thau Methodists. The Irish documents appeal to that race to cut Pattison for the reason that be is a religious bigot and hates Irishmen. The Methodist documents ask followers of their creed not to vote for him because he has more Roman Catho lics in his clerical loreejthan Methodists ! Could anything bo more absurd ? Tho unscrupulous machine managers havo overstepped tho mark this time, and as action and reaction are equal, they may look for a terrible hurricane of condensa tion at tho polls on Tuesday next. "T1D" itKiaaMICK CCWICTKD. Be Al.) I'leaiU Unllly to Setting Fir to the Almshouse Itarn Uramattc Knil . ot tue Trial. Friday Afternoon lu. tho case of com'th vs. George Brimmcr.in which he is charged with arson in firing tho barn of Samuel Ranck, theconnsel finished speaking, after which the judge charged the jury aud they retired shortly after 4 o'clock. They agreed in an hour and rendered a verdict of guilty. The AlmMiouae Barn. The next case attached was against the same dofendont, who is charged with having set fire to the almshouse barn on the same day that Mr. Ranck "s barn was burned. Martin Krieder, ono of the board of pwir directors, testified that the fire occuned upon this day ; witness was at the old bos pital building when they heard tho alarm of fire. Adam Smith, of hoso-cart No. It, tcsti tied to the same facts as in the Ranck ease, in regard to tho conversation ho had with Brimmer. Henrv Hay ladder corroborated Smith. Willie Sehwebel, a very bright little son of Charles Schwebcl, who resides at the corner of Freiburg and Low streets, testi fied that their property runs up to that of the poorhouse ; he was going for wild cherries on that day, aud saw George Brimmer going towards I bo barn the witness kuew Brimmer ; witness then went for cherries, and soon afterwards saw tho lire : when witness last saw the defcndataW:o was nb nit tn qn ires away from the l..r:s. Tho witt.i ss was subjected to iou cnifS examination, but he clung to his story. He said he know Brimmer be cause be had often seen him with others drinking in the "sand hole," on their property. Charles Schwebel was shown a map of the premises, in the neighborhood, which bo explained. Christian Gast testified that at the hear ing ho (Brimmer) said ho had an engage ment to meet Sue Kicffer and a giii known as "Coldchisol." on tho after noon of the fire. Miss Kioffjf was called and she denied having had any engagi -ment. Christian Cramer testified as follows : The day that tho almshouse burned I had been out at the creek gatheritig wood ; I saw Brimmer alono first aud ho then walked along the fenco down to the conn r of tho graveyard ; ho slipped down through the feneu and walked along it ; then he began to run ; I hollowed to some one to catch him ; when running ha was stooping ; I know Brimmer because I hail seen him tho night boforo in John street ; it was less than fivo minutes from the timo I first saw Brimmer until tho liio broke out. Saturday morning To the surprise of all in court this morning Georgo Brimmer, who was on trial yesterday on the charv of sotting fire to the almshouse barn, through J. W. Johnston, esq., his coiiu.m I, withdrew his plea of not guilty and enter ed oue of guilty. Mr. Johnson mado tho same statomeut as yesterday in regard to his inability to preparo his defenso for want of time to consult with his client. Last evening about sevou o'clock certain facts came to his knowledge aud ho induced the accused to plead guilty. Tho prisoner was brought boforo tho court and entered bis plea of guilty. Ho w us taken back to prison, and sentence was post poned. Tho reason for this proceeding is that sinco Brimmer's conviction of burning Ranck's barn he has "squealed" on a number of other men who havo been engaged at firing buildings, a fnll accouct of which appears elsewhere. In the case of Samuel M. Hess charged with false pretense, a verdict of not guilty was taken with county for office costs. This was the last trial by jury. A rule was granted to show cause why a new trial should not bo granted in tho case of com'th vs. Mary Swayne, convic ted or adultery. A rule was granted to show cause why tho verdict of the jury iu tho case of Sam 'I Eshclman, charged with selling diseased moat, should not bo amended. Nol proses wcro entered in cases as fol lows: Georgo Brown, furniture dealer, city, false pretense, and Joseph Putski, charged with fornication and bastardy. The cases had been settled and costs paid. The following cases were disraisieoj: Margaret Steffy, surety of the peace, she being crazy ; Peter Weinberger, des-rting his wife Barbara, who is now crazy ; Charles Brock, desertion, as the parties are now living together; Win. Dair, surety r the peace, in jail, with county for office costs. The cases of Lewis Reidonuacb, surety of the peaca and John R. Sharp were dismisicd, and the alderman who en tertained the cases were allowed no costs. Com'th vs. Caleb Jones, of Columbia, was charged with having threatened to kill his wife, but the case was dismissed as it was shown that tho woman had lived with her husband for two months after the occurrence, aud she is uow in the poor, bouse. Com'th va. J. F. Steinhouscr. Tho de fendant was charged with surety of the peace by Joseph Furnace. The coutt . thought there was nothing in the rase, which was dismissed, each party to pay half tho cost. Miller Wardloy, for threatening to kill Henry Frollish, of Witmer station, wjs ordered to pay a fine of$l, cost of prose cution and to give bail to keep tho peace. George Vogel, a tramp, was charged with making threats against the person and propctty of Joseph Sherer, of Mount Joy, ou September 25th.

Tho subscription to the fund for tho purchase of the South Queen street prop erty as a permanent home for the Chris tian association, its library and reading room, has made good progress during tho past week. It is hoped that it may bo closed by tho end or another week, when the entire list of subscriptions in amounts of 825 and upward will be reported. Mr. J .unes McCormick, oi Harrisburg, who has done so generously for the Young Men's Christian association aud its library in his own city, writes that he will con tribute $250, if necessary, to secure the suec8s of tho effort, now making in Lan caster. The committee tntfik him most heartily for bis generous offer of assist ance, but believe, with himself, that Lan caster ought t raise the money required. And this, we think sho will do within a few days. The following liberal subscriptions have been added to tho fuud during tho current week : Kobcrt A. Kvans....B00lDr. N. I.. Herr.
