The National debt was reduced eight and a half millions dur ing August Another nail in the Democratic coffin. The Massachusetts Republican State convention nominated Gover nor Robinson by acclamation on Wednesday last Last week was splendid weather for the growing crops. Republican ism grew und ripened, and lull gar ners are assured in November. The Republicans of Wisconsin held their State convention on Wednesday last and renominated the present State officers by accla mation. Ex-Speaker Rasdall was nomi nated last week for his twelfth con secutive Congressional term. He is the oldest member of the House ex cept Judge Kelley. Hox. H. A. Bouos, of Johnstown, was last week re-nominated by the Republican conference of Blair and Cambria Counties, for his second Senatorial term. Of course he will be elected. It is doleful but funny to read the efforts of our Democratic contempo raries to i .v tract comfort out of the Vermont election. It equals the at tempt to extract sunshine from cu cumbers. The political pot is boiling furi ously in Indiana. Hendricks and all the available Democratic orator to be had, are on the stump, and a desperate struggle is making to keep the State out of the Repuublican ranks. There has been a vast deal of blather about the Independent vote that is going to swamp Blaine in the New England States. It will take a powerful Democratic micro scope to discover its killing effect in Vermont. Cleveland cannot serve British free trade and down trodden Ireland at the same time, and that is why the Irish voters are deserting his stand ard. They know that it was long 6tnce written "a man cannot serve two masters." If present reports from the Pacific States are proved true by the results of the election in November, Blaine will sweep them so clean that the Democrats will emigrate out of pure loaesomeness. But where to go iu search of companions, will be the troublesome question. Hendricks is on the stump in In di&na literally begging for votes In a speech made at Connorsville last week he actually asked his hear ers for their votes, and told them "he wanted them bad." This is honest, but not very dignified in a candidate for the second office in the Nation. &EKATOR Gordon, of Philadelphia, who was the Governor's right hand man in th last Legislature, was badlv defeated last week in his effort to procure a re-norcloation. Pattison od his adherents har entirely lost cast with the PnilaJelphfc Democ racy, and they are mercilessly L4ed when opportunity serves. Toe Democrat keep on abusing Butler and insinnaUng dreadfully dishonest things about bitt, but that don't stop them from crawling into the same little bed and spooning in Ipva and Michigan. The Pittsburg Democrats are extending tiuir arms lovingly toward him, but the Gener al i oy about bundling with eudi a sooty et f fellows. The Cincinnati Jutpiirer bids open ly for the Independent rote and ays, it is the purpose of ilu pemo rats; if cucceesful. to divide ti of fices with tiose who are not Demo jrats, but help i.ero. The Devil, on famous occasion, goffered certain ikingdoms of the earth, of which the old Bcoandrel did not own a foot, for upport The parallel between ,the two offers is suggestive. Blaine aud Logan every day grow stronger, and Cleveland and Hendricks weaker. If the nomina tions of both conventions were to be made oyer to-morrow the Republi can ticket would be renominated unanimously, while Cleveland, back ed up by all the brass bands and In dependent kickers, would not receive one hundred votes. Cassius M. Clay, of Kentucky, formerly a Whig, and of late years a Democrat, made a Republican speech in Louisville last week in which he stated that after acting with the Democratic party for eigh teen years, he could say that it was the meanest party he ever was with. It took the old man a good while to find it out but, better Jate than nev er. Tiiomab A. Hendricks in h".i let ter of acceptance heartily indorses the sum and substance of the Dem ocratic platform. That platform condemns the policy of granting public land to and in the construc tion of railroads across the continent. Judge W. II. West, of Ohio, having examined the record, shows that Mr. Hendricks, while he was in Con gress, voted for ninety-one grants of lands to railroads, civinc awav over eighty million acres of public land The Democrats criticise the length of Mr. Blaine's letter of acceptance, and point to that of Abraham Lin coin accenting the nomination in 1S(0, aa a model of terseness. So it was. so it was : and there was also a terse model of a speech made by Mr. Lincoln on the Gettysburg bat tlefield, that all the combined ora tors and writers in the Democratic party cannot equal. Men like Abra ham Lincoln follow each other only in a procession of centuries. It is insisted upon by the Free traders, that taking into considera tion the price of food and of cloth ing, together with the rate of wages, labor is as well rewarded in England. Germany and elsewhere in Europe. as in this country, and therefore workingmen care nothing for the theories of free tnde or protection. If this be true, we would like to en quire why laborers are daily flocking to this country to gain a living which they cannot gain at home? Charles J. Folgek, Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, died at his home in Geneva, N. Y., on Thursday aiternoon last. His death was so sudden that his absent children could not be summoned to his bedside. The death of Mr. Folger removes from the public service a pure man, rarely endowed with great integrity and intellectual ability. His official career iu the Cabinet has been char acterized by a zealous, conscientious discharge of duty, so earnestly per severed in as to impair his health, and eventually sap the fountain of life. His sudden death will cause a deep felt regret throughout the entire country. The death of Senator Anthony, the father of the Senate, is none the less deplored because it Las been ex pected for some time. Mr. Anthony was not a brilliant man, but he was an intelligent statesman and a wise legistator of the stamp which the country cao ill afford to lose. He was first elected to the Senate of the United States in 1S59, and by subse quent elections has been, to his death, a continuous member of that body. Throughout this exceptiona bly long Senatorial career, he always commanded the sincere respect of his political antagonists, while he was affectionately esteemed by the members of his own party, Jn the Senate chamber, where so much of his life was spent, his name will al ways be held in honor. Gen. Bctler was a member of the Democratic Committee on Platform, and he outlines it in a sentence as "simply resolutions of expedients to catch the votes by indirection, decep tion, and illusion, not declarations of those high principles which should form the basis of the united action of a great party of the peo ple." Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, was also a member of the committee, and sat up with Butler night after night making the platform. At present he disagrees with Benjamin's views, and cajls him "bull-dog Butler." How sad that these two eminent Democrats should disagree on so in significant a matter as the Demo cratic platform. Tub efforts of the Democrats to belitUe last week's crushing Repub lican victory in Vermont, are as ab surd as amusing. They call the Re publican majority of jtwentyroue thousand five hundred, a crushing blow to the hopes of Mr. ftiaine, and profess to think it has got down to the freezing point with him. Out of a vote exceeding 02,000, the Demo crats polled less shan 20,000 ; the Gaabackers 480, and the Inde pendent end scattering ISO. Ac cording to thei j-.ay of figuring, a Republican vote of two to one is in dication of Republican defeat. ii"j.th a Fell assured majority in advance, it is not Jo be wondered at that the pqll is fiol a ft'VV one on part of the Republicans. jButtiv9 Democratic peUlicians axe apparently Xcking comfort ia themselves that the "licking" was (xof. as bad a one aa they expected. If they jrant a worse one, and more of it, they ha pry'y, to wait until November, when they will be gratified. 7!he pitifully insignificant Inde pendent y.?te of 1SG in the entire State, is what '-'gizzards" the boys. There has been a great Jt?f.ting of torn toms in the Democratic papejs over the immense Independent vote (hat i to be polled against Blaine in the New England States, and an attempt is made to distract attention from .this beggarly result in Ver mont, by pretended exultation over a reduced Republican majority. Enough is as good as a feast, and Vermont points the way to victory. Returns from the election held in Maine on Monday, indicate that Ro bie, (Rep.) for Governor, has about 18,000 plurality. This is up to high water mark, and shows that Blaine and Logan will sweep the State like a)hurricane in November. In 1S70, the Republican majority for Governor was 15,444 ; in 1S80, the fusion Greenback candidate was elected over the Republican by a majority of 1S9, but Garfield carried the State over Hancock by 'J,1GS, and in 1SS2, the Republicans elected their Governor by 8,872. The Democrats have been trying to create the impression that less than 23,000 majority now, will prove a decadence of Republican strength. This is rot, as no majority for Gov ernor has reached this point since the birth of the Republican party. In 1S(0 the State was carried against the Democrats by 18.000; in 18G4 by 15,913 ; in 1S68 by 20,403, and in 1S72 by 17,210. Maine is O. K., and don't you for get it The campaign liar has blossomed forth in all his glory, which is proof positive that the canvass is .waxing warm. In a paper now before us we find three delectable specimens of high art invention. One is an out and out forgery, purporting to be a letter from the ysnerable widow of the deceased U. S. Senator Morrill, of Maine, in which she is made to 6ay that if the Senator was in the land of the living he would not sup port so wicked and corrupt a man as he knew James G. Blaine to be. A blooming shrub hailing from Sa lem, Ohio, and claiming to have been second lieutenant in the For tieth U. S. colored infantry, writes that "Blaine's substitute in the army resides there, a poor old negro who was wounded, and has been refused a pension by the Republican board of examining surgeons, that he was to get $900 for taking Blaine's place, but never got but $30. Of course he will not support Blaine. A talented genius writes from Springfield, Ohio, that the Irish Americans who have declared for Blaine are being fearfully abused and boycotted, and life made a bur den to them, by attempts to drive them back into the Democratic ranks. All social ties with them are severed, efforts are made to ruin their business, and abuse and re proaches are heaped upon them. Notwithstanding all this, recruits are flocking to the Blaine standard. Lying was formerly held to be a fine art, requiring some ingenuity to concoct a plausible tale, but the campaign liar is a blundering fool, so diaphanous that a suckling can not be deceived by them. Wise men accept all improbable stories pub lished during political campaigns cumgrano salis. The New York Independent con tinues to pour hot shot into Cleve land, and to hold him up before the voters of the country as so morally infamous that he is not fit to fill any office in the gift of the people. In its last issue after reviewing at length the current charges against his per sonal purity, it sums up the matter as folio ws : The Democratic papers, in resort ing to various forms of apologetic casuistry for the offense, not only concede the substantial truth of the main charge, but also the necessity of making an apology for it, in or der to break, as far as possible, its force as an objection to the candidacy of Governor Cleveland. We, then, assume as a fact, admitted and known to the people, that, some ten years ago, Mr. Cleveland, when he was about forty years of age, was guilty of the offense imputed to him, and that he is the reputed father of a bastard son, now living in Buffalo, and who, to the day of his death, will be stamped and humiliated with the disgrace of his illegitimacy. The question, then, is not whether God or man will or should forgive Mr. Cleveland upon his sincere re pentance for this sin, but whether, with a private character stained with this disgusting infamy, he should, by the deliberate act and voice of the people, be made the chief mag istrate of this great nation. That is the question which every voter must face. If the facts were not known, or if there were grounds for a reason able aouDt about tnem, the case would be entirely different The facts, however, are known. There is no pretense of any denial or refuta tion oi tne cniei iacts in the case, and if the people of the United States who are in favor of sound morality follow our advice, they cer tainly will not bestow the honors of the Presidency upon Governor Cleveland. His election would ar gue a low state of morals among the people, and be a burning shame and peveT-to-be-torgotten disgrace to the nation. No man with such a private character as is shown in respect to him i ut to Lll any oliice in the gift of the peopia. rOMTICAL CHAT.

The 1. lame and Logan ratification meet ing held at Florence to-niqht turned out to be an enthusiastic Irish American demonstration. The town hall was crowded with Irish work men, many of whom are employes in the Florence foundry. The meet ing was organized by the selection of George Aiken, a prominent Irish Republican, as chairman. The ora tor was James C. Corkery, of Tren ton, a well-known Irish agitator, who was formerly an active Dempcrat. Late in the evening several uniform ed .clubs from distant villages, car rying with them transparencies on which were anti-Free-trade mottoes, marched into the hall amid cheers. A strong Irish-American Blaine and Logan club was organized. A Great Meeting. Scran'tox, September 5. The largest political demonstration seen in the coal regions since the war was witnessed in Hyde Park, this city, to-night In the procession, which extended for miles, were thousands of sturdy miners cheering for Blaine and Logan and protection to American industries. The city was brilliantly illuminated and there was great enthusiasm. The princi pal speaker was Galusha A. Gro.

The Democracy of Monroe county is in a badly demoralized condition Little money is being spent, and the organization ofcampaign clubs has been neglected. The defection is growing. .Republicans have organi zations in every ward of this city and in every town. In this county they have 3,000 names on the club rolls. The Democrats have no clubs in many wards. Half a dozen Democratic clubs have announced for Blaine and Logan. No Repub lican clubs have come out for Cleve land, The Independents are no where.

The Secretary of State to day addressed the following letter to the members of the Cabinet : With deep regret I announce to you that the Honorable Charles J.

Thus has closed the life of a distinguished and respected citizen, who by his services a? an executive officer of the United States, and a legislator and Judge of his own State won the esteem and regard of his frliow-countrymen.

The first real fhrht of the campaign of 1884 has been fousrht and won. Republicans have ample reason to rejoice, lha victory in Maine is more overwhelmingly complete than the most sanguine dared to claim. Governor Robie has been re elected by a plurality of from 15.000 to 1S.- 000, the four Republican Congress men are re-elected, both branches of the Legislature are Republican by largely increased majorities, the op position failing to elect n single State Senator, while the Republican coun ty tickets have been successful in every county in the State except one. i ne democrats have not been mere- y defeated. Thev have been muted and driven in confusion from the field. This glorious victory has a meaning which the country will not a slow to see and accent Ihe Re publicans of Maine, the State which for twenty-five years has honored and trusted Mr. Blaine, have not faltered in their allegiance to their party and to its candidate, and yes terday's triumph is but the forerun ner of other victories which will cul minate in the election of Mr. Blaine n November.

Last night William Schnelie, a barber, aged 20 years, and Miss Frances Schwarzbach, the 17-year-old daugh ter of a prominent and wealthy Gerr man citizen, boarded the midnight train on the Baltimore and Qbio road for the west Miss. Schwarz bach 's parents learned early this morning that Schnelie had bought two tickets for Columbus, and at their request Chief of Police Bennett telegraphed to the Columbus au thorities to arrest Miss Sen warabach. They did so, but Sohnelle showed a marriage certificate, the couple hav ing been married in Washington county, Pa., two weeks ago. Mrs. Schnelie was then released from custody. Schnelie is the brother of Guen ther Schnelie, now in jail here for the murder of his uncle, Dr. G. Schukard, in March, 1882. The old man was very wealthy, and William received about 850.000 from his es tate. pukes Trial .furors LiixooiullfletJ. Umontow.v, September 4.

Tho action was this afternoon ignored by the grand jury now sitting. Tha costs, as in the previous case, were placed on the prosecutor. Starved to Death. ftK4t-V4, !Sfc,r,ttsij3J)er Q.

Henry Forgowiniski, the Hungarian who stabbed his daughter-in-law Monday night, and then attempted to kill himself, was hanged to a tree this morning by a party of masked Hungarians. Excitement is intense. This is the first lynching that has ever taken place in this county. It seems that Forgowiniski, whose wounds were not fatal, had been kept in the house under the doctors care. On Tuesday night he crept out and found his way into the hog pen near by, where, as he was too weak to escape, he was left. Yester day, however, when his son Thomas looked for him he was not there. Search was made and his disfigured body was found hanging to a tree half a mile from the house, under circumstances that point conclusive ly to lynching. The body presented a sickening appearance. The wound in his throat was torn open, tne eyes were bursting from their sock ets and strong men turned away from the sight On the ground beneath were the marks of leet, showing that probably a dozen persons had been engaged in the lynching. The man had been dragged from the hog pen where he lay, but who did the deed is yet a mystery. It is thought, however, it was the work of the Hungarians in the neighborhood. 'Squire Smith, of Audenreid, bas empanneled a core ner's jury and an investigation will be made. The affair has created the wildest excitement, though none seems to blame the unknown lynch ers, the murder being a brutal and unprovoked one. A Perilous Hide. Saratoga, September 3. Carlot- tas baloon assension from Congress Spring Park was accomplished .with considerable peril. A lively breeze carried the air ship in the direction of the Greenfield Mountains, which are heavily timbered, and, conse quently, afford no desirable ianding places. Unloading ballast, Carjotta passed to an upper current, which carried her in the direction of Gan- sevoort. fourteen miles distant. Se lecting a favorable spot, she allowed a portion of the gas to escape, the baloon descending rapidly. Notic ing three boys, 6he called to them to seize and hold the balloon the mo ment it touched the ground. 'Two of the lads obeyed her request, when a sudden squall drove the balloon bounding over the ground and fences for almost a mile. In its flight the balloon described circles fully 50 feet in height. The lads regained their grip on the basket and were carried along with a speed and at a height that fairly blanched their countenances. Nearing a heavy piece of timber, and fearing a serious accident, Carlotta watched her op portunity as the balloon again touched the ground, and ripped the "Zephyr," the name of the air ship, open from top to bottom, complete ly wrecking it. The sudden arrest and flattening out of the balloon in sured a permanent landing, and. aside from a slight jar, Carlotta and the bounding boys escaped injury. After the color had returned to the boy's cheeks, they remarked that it was ' lots of fun." Tussle With a Burglar. u ilkesbarre, September 4. Night before last a burglar entered Kearney's grocery store and robbed the till of all its contents, S33. One of the Kearuey brothers, John, lay in wail Ist night in the store, think ing the burglar would return. About midnight Peter Quinlan was seen to approach the gas light and attempt to strike a light Kearney sprang from his ' hiding placa and dealt Quinlan a desperate blow on the head with s club. A fierce contest then followed, in which Quinlan at tempted to use a revolver. In an swer to Kearney's cries for help, as sistance was soon at hand and the burglar secured. Quinlan was ar rested last winter for robbing a store and post office at Sugar Notch. He was convicted, but through the in tercession of friends never sentenced, He was given a bearing before the Mayor this evening and sent to jail for trial. Killed bjr Ilia Neighbors. Troy, N. Y., September 3. An drew Jackson, a well-to-do resident of Hammond's Station, four miles from Mechanicsyille, Saratoga coun ty, was found on the railroad track at an early hour this morning with a deep cut on the head and both legs cut off. He lived an hour af ter he was found, and, before dying, said that William Balan and John Duffy, neighbors, had thrown him j under a train, Balan's father recently beat Jackson in a lawsuit, and they have been enemies ever Since, i 1 oung Balan has been arrested at Mechanicsville but denies thecharge. Duffy will also be arrested. There is intense excitement at Mechanics yile and vicinity, where the parties are all well known and respected. Opinion varies as to the truth of Jackson'g dying statement. A Colored Man Fatally Crushed. Oil City, September 4. The peo ple of this city well remember an old colored man named French, who often came to this city from Pluraer with country produce for Bale. The many runaways indulged in by his spirited team will also bt recollected. Yesterday, at about 3 o'clock, while hauling a heavy load of wood, the horses became frightened and ran away. The old man was thrown under the wheels, which passed over him, and his right leg was badly crushed and his skull fractured, lira. P.itchey, of this city, and Tyler 61 Iiouseville, were called, and found amputation of the injured leg abso lutely necessary. From the effects of this and his other injuries the old man has since died. f atal Accident, PjTTtn.uKa, September 4 While workmen were eneaeed in raisins a frame house In the South Side last evening, a lack screw under one cor ner siipnea out, and the house tell.
