ratification meeting to lie held at the
COURT HOUSE, in Bedford, on MON

DEMOCRATS, organize! Go to work!
In IsGO we increased our majority iu
this county over what it was tho year
before. Jn 1367 we increased over
1366. In 186S we increased over ISO7.
Last year after the hardest fight that
ever was given us, or ever will be giv
en us, our majority was 400. This
year we can make it Otto, at least. We
have a splendid Slate ticket, and our
district and county nominations are
excellent. Roll up your sleeves, men,
and go into the fight, this time, to
win! Organize! Organize!
FOUSLY says tbat "Pennsylvania's
decree for Packer would be a blow at
the policy of Grant for which nothing
could compensate." That blow will
lie delivered, just us sure as tho elec
tion comes round. Geary in less than
two years has sunk seven millions of
dollars, all of which is unaccounted
for, except some seven hundred, which
Ilyus swears he got for doing nothing.

fti "ImniW" Sold to the Hliiy !
The last issue of the Bedford Inquir
er proves exactly what we predicted
concerning that sheet when it "assum
ed a virtue," last winter, in pretend
ing to discountenance the operations
of the Radical Ring at Ilarrisburg.
The Inquirer , not six months ago, ad
mitted the extravagance and corrup
tion of its party in the legislature, and
|in its pretended despair, asked, Is
j there not one roan to be found who
will stand up against these corrup
tions? It has, now, apparently for
gotten the disgust it effected when the
twenty seven "additi. nal pasters and
folders" were provided for the legisla
ture, at a cost of at least $20,000 to the
tax-payers. In answer to a charge in
the Ilarrisburg Patriot , that in two
years SEVEN MI LLIOXS of dollars,
over and above the payments of the
State Debt, had been expended by
Gov. Geary's administration, the In
quirer does not deny the correctness of
the figures, but says that these Seven
Millions were applied to the expenses
of the State Government, and with an
affectation of innocence that is as re
freshing as a breeze from an iceburg, it
declares tbat the "wonder is, not where
did the money go, but how did the re
publicans manage to carry on the Gov
ernment so economically," Ac.!!!
Now, the Inquirer knows all about
the fraud by which the extra "pasters
and folders" wore quartered on the
treasury. It complained of the out
rage at the time when it was perpetra
ted. Does it dare, now, to face about
and eat its own words? We do say,
and the Auditor General's Reports
prove, that during the first two years of
Governor Geary's administration, up
wards of Eleven Millions of Dollars
were received into the State Treasury.
In Geary's last annual message it is
claimed that a little upwards of Four
Miillions of the State Loans had been
taken up, which of course, leaves Seven
Millions for other expenditures. Now
the Ilarrisburg Patriot , the GAZETTE,
and nearly every Democratic paper in
the state, have called on the rad
ical press to give the public the items
of these expenditures. This request
has been refused, because the
publication of these items will damn
to eternal infamy the radical legisla
tures of the last three years its well as
Gov. Geary's administration. The
question still is, What has become of the
Seven Millions ?
The Inquirer , taking its cue from the
Ilarrisburg Telegraph, a sheet which
never tells the truth except when a lie
will not answer its purpose, says that
"the interest on the state debt in those
two years exceeded four and a half
millions," and claims that this sum
must be deducted from the Seven Mil
lions. It is simply not true that the
interest on the State Debt amounted to
four and a half millions in ISO7 and
1868 ; but no matter what it amounted
to, it was not paid out of the Seven
Millions, but mainly out of the loan
made in 1867. That loan amounted to
Twenty Three Millions of Dollars, and
was made for the ostensible purpose of
taking up a portion of the old loans.
The Auditor General's Report for 1867,
shows that not quite Twenty One Mil
lions of this loan was applied to the re
demption of the old loans, leaving up
wards of Two Millions of it to be paid on
the interest on the State Debt. Hence
the allegation of tho Inquirer that a large
portion of the Seven Millions was paid
out in interest on tlieStatc Del it is false.
We refer the reader to the reports of
Auditor General Hartranft for 1867 and
1868, for the verification of our state
ments.
"The wonder," therefore, is still,
"where did the money go ?" The In
quirer alleges that we make no allow
ance for "necessary expenses of the
government," &c. Yes, we do; but
we want to know to what the unnecessa
ry expenses amounted. We want to
know how much more the legislature
ami executive department, and Treas
ury department, cost than they ought
to cost. The Inquirer will admit that
a Radical administration ought not to
cost more than a Democratic adminis
tration. Very well. The cost of tho
last Democratic administration,(that of
Gov. Packer) in 1.860, was $401,863,41.
Double this, and you have $*03,726.82,
eight hundred and three thousand sev
en hundred and twenty six dollars and
eighty two cents, the cost of a Demo
cratic administration In two years.—
Now,take this sum from the Seven Mil
lions, and upwards of Six Millions re
main. "The wonder" still is, "where
did the money go?"
But the Inquirer alleges that appro
| priations for the Common Schools and
| Soldiers' Orphans' Schools must be de
| ducted from the Seven Millions. Well,
let us deduct them. F'or the years
1807 and 1868, those appropriations a
mounted to $1,604,001.11. Take this a
inount from the Six Millions and up
wards above remaining, and we. still
have Four Millions Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars unaccounted for.
Now let us take the amount of appro
priations to charitable institutions and
jis pensions and gratuities during the
years 1867 ami 1868, from the above re-
Vbt lleirfor# ipentiam* Ma*
mainder. ? By the Auditor General's
Reports for those years we find the
amount of these appropriations to have
been (exclusive of the appropriations
to Soldiers' Orphans' Schools, already
deducted above) $501,702,06; leaving
just about Four Millions after deduct
ing all the credits the Inquirer claims.
Will that paper now inform us what
became of the remaining Four Mil
lions f We have made all the deduc
tions it claims, and yet we find that
Four Millions of Dollars arc unaccoun
ted for. Until the Inquirer explains
whither this sum has gone, people will
believe that it was squandered anil sto
len by Radieial officials at the state
capital; and if the Inquirer continues
to defend the conduct of those corrupt
officials, people will naturally conclude
that it has been bought for a price by
the Radical .Ring at Ilarrisburg. Let
it show where the ,Serai Millions have
gone, or hold its peace. Show up, or
shut up!
Why don't they tell the people that,
in less than ten years, in spite of a cop
perhead rebellion, the Republican party
have paid off Twenty Millions of the
State debt and released all the Real
Estate of the State from Taxes ?—ln
quirer.
Because if we did we would tell the
people a bare-faced lie.
In December, 1860, the State Debt was
$37,069,847.50. In December, 1868, it
was $33,236,946.13. This shows a de
crease of $4,682,901,37. See Auditor
General's Reports for 1860 and 1868.
Now, during these eight years the
Radical party have had the advantage
of the sale of the public works and of a
much larger revenue than formerly
from other sources. The receipts into
the Sinking Fund, during these eight
years, have been upwards of Twenty
Fire 3fillions which ought to le, hut
which is not the measure of the reduc
tion of the State Debt. In 1307 a loan
of Twenty Three Millions was made.
And yet but the pitiful sum of $1,632,-
901.37, has been paid on the State
Debt! All the balance of these im
mense collections from the people have
been devoted to other purposes, radi
cal sneak-thieves getting their full pro
portion of them.
Gov. Packer, during tho last year of
his administration, reduced the State
Debt $691,757.89, though the receipts
into the Treasury that year were not
much more than half what they have
been, annually, during radical admin
istrations. Nor did Gov. Packer re
sort to a loan, as Gov. Geary has been
compelled to do. And this loan of
$23,000,900, be it remembered, was
made at six per cent, in order to re
place the old one at five. Is this
not so, Mi. Inquirer f Deny it, if you
can !
It is false that the radical party have
released all the Real Estate of the
State from taxes. The only change
that has been made is to eotnpel the
county commissioners to pay State Tax
on Real Estate out of the county levy.
This is whipping the devil 'round the
stump with a very long lash. For
e 'vera 1 years past the Commissioners
of this county have had the most obsti
nate strugglirs with the officials at Ilar
risburg, to save the county from im
position in the collection of State taxes.
Last year, through the efforts of their
Attorneys, Messrs. Russell and Meyers,
they succeeded in saving the tax-pay
ers of the county about two thousand
dollars wrongfully and fraudulently
claimed by the State.
No ! no! The people of Pennsylva
nia pay almost two millions of dollars
more per annum in the shape of State
taxes, under Radical rule than they
did under Democratic Administrations.
We can prove this by the record. In
the year 1860, the last year of Gov.
Packer's administration, the receipts
into the Treasury from all sources,
were, $3,479,257.31. See Auditor Gen
eral's Report for 1860, page 6. In the
year 1868, the receipts into the Treas
ury, were $5,216,049,55. See Auditor
General's Report for 186S, page 6.
Now, the statements, we have here
made are incontrovertible. The In
quirer man has an idea that his readers
will believe any thing ho says, and,
therefore, he utters the most reckless
and unqualified falsehoods. We have
here proved him a liar; anil now we
will forfeit One Hundred Dollars in
greenbacks, to any man, who will show
to an impartial tribunal that there is
a single mis-statement in this article.
Hero is a chance to make money easy.
Come on, Lutz and the rest of you!
The Radical Governor of Illinois,
Gen. Palmer, addressed a meeting of
his party in that State, the other day,
in a speech in which he took the true
States' Rights ground. "He avoided,"
to use the language of the associated
press, "the suffrage question and the
Fifteenth Amendment, for the reason
that he opp sc-s the surrender of State
control of suffrage to Federal author
ity." The Radicals can ill afford to
lose the support of so influential a per
sonage as Gov. Palmer, in their crusade
against the reserved rights of the peo
ple. They are already greatly demor
alized, but another such a fire in the
rear as this spe&h of Gov. Palmer
will scatter them like a flock of scared
turkies.
TEN! VES!
THE Inquirer wants us to turn our
attention to the county finances. It
doesn't care to hear anything about
the State finances. Very well. Yes,
we shall turn our attention to the
county finances.
There is one subject, in particular, I
connected with the county finances,
that we shall ventilate for the benefit
of the Inquirer.
Has the editor of that sheet heard of |
the Registry Law passed by the last ;
Radical legislature, signed by Governor
Geary and declared constitutional by
Judge Willaims?
Will he please inform his readers
that theexcution of that law will cost
the taxpayers of Bedford county, at
least $2,000 ?
Will he please show these tax-pay
ers how they are to be benefited to the
amount of $2,000 by the enforcement
of this law in Bedford county?
Will he please tell the naturalized
voters of his party that they are to lx>
taxed to pay these $2,000, for the exe
cution of this Registry Law , in order
that they may be put to as much troub
le as possible in reaching the ballot
box ?
After the editor of the Inquirer shall
have thus enlightened his readers, we
shall give him some further insight
into the condition of the county finan
ces. Show up, or shut up!
MOKE AIIOFT THE FINANCE*.
By an Act of Assembly passed A
pril 10,1367, aritl signed by John W.
Geary, W. M. Hall, David Derrickson
and Wayne McYcagh were appointed
Commissioners to revise theCivilCode
of the State, at the snug little salary
of $3,000 per year to each.
It is now two years and five months
since these Commissioners have been
appointed. They have drawn $6,000
each, in all SIB,OOO. But the revised
Civil Code is yet in shapeless embryo.
We do not know what Derrickson
and McVeagh are doing. They may
be "revising" furiously all this while.
As for Hall, we know what he is a
bout. He is abusing the Democrats
and drawing his salary. THREE
THOUSAND A YEAR for William M.
Hall, from the taxpayers of the
Commonwealth! Three thousand a
year for setting at home and play
ing Commissioner to revise the Civ
il Code! No wonder Hall is for Geary.
A great many others would be, for
three thousand a year.
How say the people? Will they re
elect Geary so. that W. M.Hall may
continue to get bis $3,000 a year? Or
will they spoil that little job, by elect
ing Asa Packer, who will put an end
to such legalized robliery of tho peo
ple's taxes ?
THE Dtltl TO III* VOMIT.
Th Q Inquirer returns to its stale charge
against the late Treasurer of the Poor
House, like a dog to his vomit. What
is wrong about that matter now?
Mr. Blymyer, on settlement with the
Poor Directors, several years ago, fell
in debt to the county some $7,000, in
cluding interest. Like an honest man
and a Democrat, as he is, lie at once se
cured the county for the amount which
he owed, and has since repaid, with
interest, every cent of that sum. Mr.
Lutz, in order to make a little politi
cal capital, now re-opens this subject,
which was fully discussed and disposed
of two years ago.
The Inquirer , also, asks, "llowabout
the present Poor House imbroglio?"
Aha! Is that what you want to know.
We can namea few men who will tell
you all about it. Ask Mr. Longeneek
or, ask your Radical legislature, ask
Judge ltowe! They can tell you "who
is to pay the piper," as well as why
there is a piper to pay.
THE general cry in this State is give
us a change of rulers. Any change
must be for the better. We have had
our fill of taxation, of rottenness, fraud
and corruption. We have given the
Radical party a fair trial. For eight
long, weary years we have permitted it
to control our affairs at the discretion
ot its leaders, aud what have been the
results? A State whose industrial in
terests are paralyzed, whose people
are taxed to the topmost notch, and
whose varied products arc cheapened
by unwise legislation. Well may the
Utxpayers exclaim any change must be
fur the better.
GEN. GRANT was called the soldier's
friend, but since his accession to power
he has turned nine-tenths of the sol
diers appointed by Johnson out of
their places and put ill civilians. In
many cases muined whit©soldiers have
K*en dismissed to make room for lusty
negroes. ____________
THE Radicals aro evidently scared
about the XVth Amendment. The
tone of their journals indicate that
there is danger of its failing. We are
sure, it will be defeated, if the Demo
crats keep hammering away against it.
What will become of the Republican
party then? That's what's the matter.
REMEMBER that Geary stands square
on the Fifteenth Amendment. Every
vote for him, is a vote for forced Negro
Suffrage in Pennsylvania.
THE IKR*l> or iOBUI'PTIOT.
Our whole system of government is
now being regulated to benefit the few
at the expense of the many. Men goto
Washington to get laws passed by
which a few individuals are enabled to
make millions, and for such objects, it
is not for a moment to be doubted, but
that the cajolery which walks openly
in the lobbies has a twin brother of
bribery prowling near it in secret.—
One interest after another clamors for
protection, until the Congressional leg
islation of last session became a mere
agency to confer upon a wealthy few
the power to oppress and cripple the
energies of the great mass of our peo
ple.
Such a system, says the Philadelphia
Evening Herald , leads our legislators
into temptation; it turns the heads of
our manufacturers, and teaches them
that wholesale competition is enmity
and injury, and ought to be destroyed
by law. It sots them speculating up
on the means of making the govern
mental machine subserve their pri
vate purposes; and having once enter
tained this notion, they become very
naturally anxious to increase the pow
ers of the machine they intend to use.
They associate themselvs consequently
with other schemers having similar in
terests. One interest plays into the
hands of the other, and the combina
tion operates fatally upon the integri
ty of the legislative body. The lob
bies of both houses of the last Congress
groaned with projects seeking the aid
of Government by high duties, sub
sidies, land grants, guarantees, etc.,
and the favors thus to be granted were
expected to be secured by the enor
mous power of corruption brought to
bear upon the members. Those who
could not be influenced by pecuniary
favors were dazzled by the pledges to
promote the aspiration of their politi
cal ambition. Venality in one shape
or the other ruled and controlled the
legislative action of the la>t Congress,
and as it was in the days of Rome in her
decline so i.-> it at Washington—"all
things are for a price."
Just look what these powerful, unscru
pulous agencies have induced Congress
to do in the last fojr years. Already
thirty million of acres of the public do
main are in the hands of speculators.
In addition, Government has donated
to Pacific railroads one hundred and
twenty four millions of acres, and to
other railroads fifty-seven million ; to
the States over sixty million, and the
cry is still the cry of the daughters of
the horse-leech, "Give! give! give!"
Like the circle in the water, the sphere
of corruption enlarges, and it is involv
ing every interest in this land. It was
said that Grant would set his face like
flint against these corruptions; but his
intimate friends and associates are a
mor.g the men whose immense capital
is being used to corrupt and mould the
legislation of Congress in all these job
bing schemes. The whole system lias
become too powerful to be reached and
cured by mere executive interposition,
especially such a greedy, avaricious
man as we now have in the Presiden
tial chair, and the remedy alone is in
the people; hut, even here, the cor
rupting influences that sway elections
appear to in'erpose an insurmountable
barrier.
WHAT ARE WE (OMISU TO?
There is to-day a large amount of
coal on hand at the mines, and sales
are very light. People are waiting for
a fall in prices. It has just been dis
covered that the coal men of Pennsyl
vania have had a meeting, and adopt
ed such a scale of rates to miners that
will force another strike, and the mid
dle of September will find a stock on
hand inadequate to the demands of the
season, and prices will go up fearfully,
perhaps reaching fifteen dollars per
tun. In the name of common justice
and the wants of humanity, cannot
th is terri hie com mercial demoralizat ion
be cured? This sort of business falls
with crushing cruelty upon the poor,
a class of wealth-producers, who carry
the country on their shoulders, finding
seven-eights of the means required to
support the administration, and pre
serve the credit of the government.—
These are the men who are pinch
ed by these coal strikes. Is there no
remedy? If not, what will all this
despotism upon the poor workingmen
finally lead to ? Let thecnal capitalists
and all other capitalists, who can aid
in preventing those things, reflect a
little.
Bur twenty-one States so far have
rati fled the Fifteenth Amendment,
and only seventeen have done it lewd

nine States to eonsu inmate the fraud.
Courage, friends. Be firm, and this

Se he n c k' Polmoni e8 y r up,
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, will cure Cun

U be taken at the same time They eieauce the
stomach, relax the liver,and put it to work then
the appetite becomes good ; the food digests ril j
tnakesgood blood , the patient begins to grow m
flesh; the diaeaeed matter ripens ia ibt lung
and bepatient outgrows the disease and gn e
well. 1 This is the only way to cure consumption
To these three medicines Dr J H. Behenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in th 6
treatment of pulmoaary consumption The Pul
monic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the
lungs, nature throws it off by an easy expectorn
tion, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe.
slight cough will throw it off, and the patient has
rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills must be freely used to cleanse the stomach
and liver, so that the Pulmonic Syrup and the
food will make good blood
Sehenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver
removing all obstructions, relax the ducts of the
gall-bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver
is soon relieved; the stools will show what the
Pills can do ; nothing ha? ever been invented ex
cept calomel (a deadly poison which is very dan
gerous to use unless with great care), that will
unlock the gall-bladder and starts the secretion,
of the liver like Sehenck's Mandrake Pills.
Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
causes of Consumption
Sehenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative, and the Alkali in the Seaweed,
which this preparation is made of, assists the
stomach to throw out the gastric juice to dissolve
the food with the Pulmonic Syrup, and it is made
into good blood without fermentation or souring
in the stomach.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
consumption is, they try to do too much ; they
give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to
stop night sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing
they derange the whole digestive powers, locking
up the aecre'ions, and eventually the patient
sinks and dies
Dr. Schenck. in bis treatment, does not try to
stop a cough, night sweats, chills, or fever Re
move the cause, and they will all stop of their
own accord No one can be cured of Consump
tion, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Cataarh, Can
ker, Ulcerated Throat, unless the iiver and storn
auh are made healthy.
If a person has Consumption, ofcourse the luog
in some way are diseased, either tubercles, ab
scesses, bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion, or
the lungs are a mass of inli&tuinatior. and fast de.
caying. In such cases what must be done ? It
is not only tbc lungs that are wasting, but it i
the whole bpdy. The stomach and liver have lost
their power to make blood out of food. Now the
only chance is to take Sehenck's three medicines,
which will bring np a tone to the stomach, the
patient will begin to want food, it will digest easi
ly and make good blood : then the patient begins
to gain in fle?L, and as soon as the body begins to
grow, the lungs commence to heal up, and the pa
tient gets fleshy ani well. This is the only way
to cure consumpiion.
When there is no lung disease, and only Liver
Complaint aDd Dyspepsia, Sehenck's Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient without
the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills
freely in all billious complaints, a? tbey are per
fectly harmless
Dr. Schenek, who has enjoyed uninterrupted
health for many years past, and now weighs 225
pounds, was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in
the very last stago of Pulmonary Consumption,
his physicians having pronounced his ease hope
less and abandoned him to bis fete. He was cured
by the aforesaid medicines, and since his recovery
many thousands similarly afflicted have used Dr
Sehenck's preparations with tho same remarkable
success. Full directions accompanying each,
make it not absolutely necessary to personally see
Dr. Schenck, unless the patients wish their lung?
examined, and for this purpose he is professional
ly at bis Principal Office, Philadelphia, every
Saturday, where ail let ers for advice must be ad
