FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1867.
The following is an extract from
a speech delivered by Judge Ludlow
in the Hall of the Washington En
gine Company:
" If William II. Seward siiould
be elected President op the
United States, I would be in
FAVOR OF A DISSOLUTION OF THE
Union, and, moreover, the South
would be justified in dissolving the
Union in case of such an event."
The Correspondence Between Jndge
, Allison and Judge Ludlow.
. Ik our advertising columns to-day will be
found an extract from a letter written by
Judge Joseph Allison to Judge James R. Lud
low, in reply t one received from that gentle
man, In which the President Judge approves
of the renomination of his associate. Over the
receipt of this letter there is much joy in the
camp of the Democracy; but when we look at
the circumstances under which it wa3 written
we cannot see how Judge Allison could do
otherwise than as he did. The letter in ques
tion was written to Judge Ludlow personally,
and it is evident, from the contents, that it is
in reply to one received from the same source.
Bow could Judge Alllson,withoourtesy, refuse
his asked-for assent, when the gentleman who
asked it had sat side by side with him for ten
years, and when the personal relations be
tween them were of such a character ? "Which
one of our readers, if he had been on
terms of close intimacy with a gentleman
for ten years, and had nothing personally
against him, and was informed that no ques
tion of politics was under consideration, would
have refused to ratify a nomination which it
ia evident that the Judge thought was a no
party movement f We, therefore, can feel no
surprise, at the tone of the letter, but are rather
surprised that it is not warmer in its commen
dation. It is a cold and formal endorsement,
in terms anything but warm. Yet such as it
is, it is placed before all the people as a con
clusive evidence of Judge Allison's opinion.
The letter in question must have been writ
ten at least a month ago, probably previous to
the nomination of Judge Ludlow by the De
mocracy, certainly before the writer heard of
that nomination. Under such circumstances,
can we consider the opinion expressed by J udge
Allison before that event as indicating what he
would now say if asked ? Before the action of
the Democracy, and the acceptance of
their nomination by Judge Ludlow,
every Republican paper, with the excep
tion of Tub Evening Teieobapii, gave a
qualified assent to that gentleman's reelection.
But to-day every Republican paper in Phila
delphia is as earnestly opposed to such an
event as we have been from the beginning.
And why is this? It is because Judge Ludlow
accepted a Democratic nomination on a plat
form which is infamous aud insulting to every
oyalman, and because the Democracy have
acknowledged him, and his election would be
a victory for Andrew Johnson and the semi
Rebel party. There was no alternative left for
the Republicans but to oppose Judge Ludlow,
or else take their places as the hangers-on or
members of the party which from the bottom
of their hearts they despise for its course
during the war. They attempted to raise the
election of judge above the turmoil of party
Strife; for that attempt we honor them, and
ma hnnnr .Tndffa Allison for loinine: in the
attempt; but we did not support the move
xnent because we knew that such an effort
, wnnU fail. It has failed, and to-day those
Republicans who joined the movement have,
with few exceptions, returned to their old
places in the ranks. Judge Allison has had
no chance to return. He knew of the move
ment, joined with it, but had not witnessed
lt Bifrnul failure. He did not know that, by

Judge Ludlow would be esteemed a Demo
cratio party triumph; that the no-party
movement has been scattered to the
four winds of heaven, and that to-day the
issue between Thayer and Ludlow is the
Bame as between Woodward and Geary, or
Aenew and Lowry. In such a contest, does
any one doubt where Jadge Allison would
stand T We feel sure that, had he but the
opportunity to retract, like his colleagues in
the movement here had, aud have availed
themselves of, even personal importunity
could not secure his assent. But he has had
nn aiinh chance. Across the sea he does not
know the new attitude which the action of the
Democracy and Judge Ludlow has placed the
contest in, so that he Is led by the words
written months ago, and we are to suppose
that he would stand the same then as now

THE DAILY EVENING- TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1867.
Jndge Allison would now bo were he at home,
and saw the DemooraU exulting over what
they prophesy will be a party victory, we feel
confident would be the reverse of hla views, and
would be In favor of our able oaniidate,
Hon. M. Russell Thayer. As it ia now,
Judge Ludlow sees fit to advertise the letter
received by him from Judge Allison, whioh
really haa no application or force. It was
written when the Judge was pretending to be
a no party candidate. JTo-day the mask is
thrown aside, and he is as much a Democrat
as Clymer or Vallandigham. The force of the
letter is broken by the change of the position
of Judge Ludlow, and its tones will fall idly
on the ear, without any weight, for all its
application ia destroyed.
The Republican Party and the Young
Men of the Nation.
One of the strongest elements of sucohss in the
Republican organization is the hold it has
upon the young men of the country. A very
large proportion of the new voters who each
succeeding year come upon the stage of ac
tion are Republicans. The explanation of
this significant fact is to be found in the libe
ral and progressive character of the Republi
can party and its doctrines. Young men are
proverbially radical. Their sympathies are
generous; their impulses are liberal; their ten
dencies are all progressive. How can a con
servative, reactionary, old fogy party expect
to win recruits from such a class of oitisens ?
It must look for its supportera rather to those
who have lost the generous fire and enthu
siasm of youth, who have become hardened
by contact with the world, and who, grown
selfish and insincere themselves, have lost all
faith in their fellow-men. There is nothing in
the doctrines or present attitude of the Demo
cratic party that can attract the sympathy or
support of the young. Hatred of the negro, a
desire to oppress him, to thrust him down
into degradation and misery, a fear of
allowing him a fair chance in the race
of life, a constant spirit of denunciation and
injustice towards him these are the alpha and
the omega of the Democratic faith. Deprive
that party of the negro, and of the prejudices
against him growing out of his former condi
tion of slavery, and its stock in trade would
be gone. It would have no working capital
left. But what a basis is this for a great
party ! What enthusiasm a man must feel in
kicking a poor fellow-mortal who is down and
can't help himself ! What laurels must crown
the victor in unch a cause I
The Republican party, on the other hand,
is the party of true progress, of a broad and
unselfish humanity, of a trust in the people,
of a belief in the dignity and worth of human
nature itself. It abhors all class rule, all
class privilege. It believes in the rights of the
people, without regard to color, race, or curved.
It is the counterpart of the Liberal party in
the Old "World. The fight 13 essentially the
same here as there equal rights against class
privileges. Such a party must in the nature
of thiDgs attract to it the young, the ardent,
the enthusiastic, the progressive, and the
liberal. It stands to-day as the only repre
sentative of the distinctive political principles
upon whioh our Government and our free in
stitutions are founded. The principles of the
miscalled Democratic party are the principles
of aristocracy, those of the Republican party
are those of true democracy.
If we add to all this the proud record of the
Republican party, its splendid defense of free
dom and free labor against the assaults of
slavery, its championship of the Union and
the Constitution against traitors and rebels in
arms, the achievements of its great leaders in
the field and in the halls of legislation, we
have a sufficient explanation of the hold it
has upon the young men of the nation. It is
the popular party, because it deserves to be
because, in short, it is the great organ of
American progress, of Amerioan ideas, of
American power and glory !
The Itepnblican Party and the Tran
quillity oi the country.
The triumph of the Republican party is essen
tial to the tranquillity of the country. The
organs of Mr. Johnson, awed by the uprising
of the people, have for the moment ceased to
vex the public ear with their infamous threats
against social order and the integrity of the
Government; but the purpose doubtless re
mains. It only needs a Democratic triumph
in Pennsylvania this fall to encourage these
reckless plotters against the public peace to a
renewal of their treasonable plans and sugges
tions. We have no feara of the final result,
even should Mr. Johnson be encouraged to
attempt the revolutionary role urged upon
him by his Copperhead advisers; but the tern
porary distress inflicted upon the community,
especially upon the laboring classes, and upon
men in active business, would be very great
Such a convulsion is to be avoided, if possible
The people's only safety is by standing to
gether in the Union party in such an array of
power as shall carry dismay to the hearts of
the miscreants who would pluck down the
social fabric, that they mifiht plunder and rob
amid ita ruins. Let every man who values
neace and tranquillity, the preservation of
order, and the regular administration of law,
vote against Andrew Johnson and the Demo
cratio party.
Our Example.
The patriotic, Union-loving people of ether
States are looking as anxiously as ever to Penu
sylvania for such an example of devotion to
the Constitution and to the Union in the elec
tion this fall aa shall Inspire confidence and
joy throughout the republic. The old Key
stone must not lauer now that we are upon
the very threshold of victory. The frulta of
our Btruggle in the field are still ungathered
The foea of the Union are endeavoring to save
the "lost" Rebel "cause" at the ballot-box
They must not be allowed to auoceed. The
blood of our slaughtered brothers appeal to
na from the ground, that we carryforward this j
great work to a triumphant conclusion. Let
no man falter in his duty to the country at
suoh an hour aa this.
The Attempt to Catch Republican Votes
for a Democratic Nominee.
T h kim never was a more impudent or un
founded claim put forth in behalf of any
office-seeker than that which assumes that
Judge Shaiswood ia in any possible sense a
non-partisan candidate. On the contrary, he
is a partisan candidate, pledged to a partisan
platform, and bound to oarry out on the bench,
so far as he may, the political sentiments of
the party whose standard-bearer he is. His
nomination was so arranged that no man could
vote for him without giving a moral endorse
ment to the platform upon whioh he stands
and the party with which he acts. Suppose
him to be elected, does not everybody know
that his election would be claimed all over the
country aa a triumph, not of an independent,
non-partisan candidate for Judge, but aa that
of the Democratic party ? We are aware that
it has been weakly claimed for Judge Shars
wood that he doea not endorse the platform
upon which he stands; but such a claim ia
evidently unfounded. When ha3 he ever
denied his endorsement of the Democratic
platform t Whom has he authorized to make
any such denial for him f How many Demo
cratic votes would he get, were he authorita
tively to repudiate the platform ? What was
the platform for, except as a recognized and
formal expression of the political views of the
party and the candidate ?. What sentiment in
the platform is repugnaut to the political
reoord of Judge Sharswood ? A fair answer to
these various questions shows that no con
sistent Republican can vote for this Demo
cratic nominee. Nor is there the slightest
excuse for doing so. The Republican nomi
nee, Judge Williams, is in every respect as
worthy a candidate as any party could desire.
His ability is unquestioned. His experience ia
ample. His integrity is above suspicion. His
moral character is irreproachable. In every
element necessary to the high position for
which he has been nominated, he ia not only
competent, but he e.m-h. Why, then, should
any true Republican refuse to support him ?
Why should any Republican stultify himself,
and strike a fatal blow at principles dear to
every patriotic heart, by supporting an out-
and-out Democrat upon an avowed and pur
posely made offensive platform ? Democratic
support of Judge Sharswood is appropriate.
He is a Democrat, aud the candidate of Demo.
crats, but he has not the slightest claim to the
support of any honest Republican. Nor do we
believe he will get it.
Mr. Mullen's Speech.
Or Wednesday evening young Mr. Mullen,
who aspires to legislative honors in the Fifth
District, made a speech to his future constitu
ents, which, taken altogether, is by far the
most brilliant electioneering document put
forth by the Democracy during the present
campaign, reter byie's tirade against tne
"radical rascals," and Joseph N. Peirsol'a uu-
affVcted letter on the League Island question,
were completely eclipsed by the maiden effort
of the youthful Mullen. The effusions of Lyle
and Peirsol are both characterized by their
excessive modesty; but even in this respect
young Thomas excelled them, as in the course
of an address which fills only two-thirds of a
colmmn, he referred to himself, by the use of
personal pronouns, in one way and another,
sixty-seven times. It is true that Mr. Brooke's
young man became somewhat muddled in the
course of his disquisition, especially when he
attempted to quote from a celebrated English
statesman, and talked about the election of
members of the next Congress during the
coming fall election. But it must be remem
bered that this was Mr. Mullen's first effort ou
the stump, and that he himself expressed at
the outset the fear that he might "not come
up to the expectations" formed of him. Aud
if all this suffices not by way of an excuse,
the naive manner in which he closed his re
marks by apologizing for "spreading himself
out," should certainly satisfy his future con
stituents. If any of our readers have not had
the pleasure of perusing Mr. Mullen's address,
we would advise them to borrow a cepy of
yesterday's Tkmwbaph, aud glance through
that luminous discourse.
The Democracy of Boston have a little more
common decency than their party friends of
this city, and therefore are quite willing that
General Sheridan should receive at the hands
of the people the full reward of his gallant
services in the country's behalf. The Boston
rost, referring editorially to "Little Phil's"
proposed visit to the "Hub," says:
"We are glad our inumoipal authorities are
taking such meusuies ns will insure a proper
manifestation of respect und gratitude towards
Ueneral Sheridan lor bis eminent military ser
vices. He was a brave aud faithful officer
durlug tne wur, and deserves all llie honor bis
country freely accords hiw a a military coui
uiHuiier." What a sad contrast is presented by these
frank words and the following ungenerous
assault upon the hero of the Shenandoah from
the Democratic organ of this city 1
"Sheridan has departed from rtiilodolpliia on
his discreditable political pilgrlmaae, but ne
Has left behind him a bl bill for tbe city to
foot. Thnusanus of dollars have been recklessly
aud extravagautly spent by the radical 'ring'
having him In charge, for feeds, carriage hire,
and a variety of incidentals, ull of wniob will
come out of tbe pockets of the heavily burdened
lax payers. In this way is tbe people's hard
arnt d money squandered by the radicul spoud
hrifis, and the honest, bard workiug mechanic,
wtio cannot alf'ord to buy meat for his children
more than once a week, is compelled to furnish
reedblrds, champagne, aud clears for hungry
radicals."
The "boys in blue" should not forget the
gross lack of decency which the aforesaid
Demooratio organ haa displayed iu this mat
ter; and when they are besought for their
votes on Tuesday next, they should remem
ber that "Little Phil" haa done the oountry
more service in the field than a whole regi
ment of Lyles, Leeches, and BaUiera.
The Value of Oar Votes.
Tho suooess of the Democrats in thia State
next Tuesday might, in ita future oonse
qHenoes, be aa serious a publlo calamity aa
would have been a Union defeat during the
war. It would give new heart to the enemies
of freedom, and would fan into a flame the
smothered and smouldering embers of treason
throughout the South. It would nerve the
arm of the present false Federal Exeoutive,
and encourage him in his purpose of praoti
cally annulling the reconstruction laws of
Congress, and of restoring to power the seces
sionists of the South. It would go very far
towards undoing all the good that the war ac
complished, and that Congress haa since been
endeavoring to secure permanently to the
country. It would not only strengthen An
drew Johnson and his secession supporters'
but it would tend to discourage the friends of
the country in Congress and throughout the
North. In short, it might, as we have already
said, lead to the election of a Democratic Pre
sident and a Democratic Congress in lSUS.
And who can estimate the magnitude of such
a national calamity r
Let such Republicans aa may have been half
persuaded to vote for Sharswood, or for Lud
low, or Lyle, or any one or more of the Demo
cratic candidates, from personal motives, ima
gine what would be the condition of the
country in case of our defeat next year,
and let them decide, instantly, that they
will not be guilty of contributing in the leas ;
possible degree to such a calamitous event
Imagine Andrew Johnson President for another
four years, or some man like Vallandigham or
Pendleton in the Presidential chair, from
March 4, 18G!), to March, 4, 187;!, with
a Congress of revived and restored
Rebels and Northern sympathizers to
support him ! Will any honest and intel
ligent Republican in Pennsylvania be guilty of
contributing to such a direful result ? In fact,
if is next year's lattle we are fighting now. The vic
tory of Gettysburg, though fought over a hun
dred miles away from us, saved our city, and
the battle of Tuesday next, though a year in
advance, will have a weighty influence on the
Presidential election.
But we will not lose this battle ! It is only
necessary for Republicans to btand true to
their colors to assure a triumphant victory to
the right, ami we are convinced that
no true Republican will vote for any
man, however dear a friend personally, whose
name is on the Democratic ticket. The
mere question, per se, who shall secure
the local offices, is of no consequence in com
parison with the great national issue at stake.
Those who fought, those who have freely
given of their treasure, those who have
lost sous, or brothers, or fathers, or
frieuds in tbe war to save the country
they love, will not now so act as
to practically annul our blood-bought
victory over rebellion, but will march to the
polls united, strong, and determined to carry
into complete execution what they have thus
far preserved.
The Pennsylvania Election.)
Tub following stirring appeal to the Republi
cans of Pennsylvania appears in the New York
Tribune of to-day, and is so earnest in its tone,
and so thoroughly covers the ground, that we
republish it with our warmest endorsement:
"There is one point, not precisely political,
which ought to be carefully considered by the
people of Pennsylvania next Tuesday. TUey
are to elect a Supreme Court Judge, not as we
do here In New York, for three or four years,
but lor the extraordinary term of fifteen years
practically, for life. The longer the term of
office tbe more Important tbe event, and the
more weighty the responsibility of the voter.
In minor offices, where we can shift from year
to year, the matter may be comparatively
trivial, made so by the Insignificance of the
official and. tbe brevity of bis term. But here
is an extreme case; the character and direction
or the Supreme Bench of the second State in
the Union Is at issue; whoever succeeds in
reaching that most honorable position, re
mains there death only interfering until half
the voters who made bitn judge are in their
graves.
"We do not propose a criticism of personal
fitness, nor do we repel it. Henry Williams is
tbe regular and honored nominee of the Re
publican party, and we most ardently hope and
work for bis election. Why ? Because be is a
true, loyal, able, thoroughly qualified man; be
cause be is tbe unanimous choice of the party,
and therefore represents the governmental
policy and tbe local Issues for which we
humbly labor. Of bis fitness there can ;be
no question not born ot malice, lie is in the
prime of lire, with mental faculties in lull
vigor; he has bad aixteeu years' experience upon
the bench; be has had an unusually thorough
judicial education and training; he has been
one of tbe ablest aud most successful lawyers In
tbe State; his breadth of information in the
studies of the profession is most extraordinary,
reaching not only to the common questions of
tbe courts, but running Into all tbe special in
quiries likely to come before the bench that ne
ought so soon to adorn. His character for up
rightness, integrity, and high morality is be
yond question, lie has tbe respeot, confidence,
and esteem of all who know him. die decisions
aud rulings during the sixteen years he has
been upon tbe bench have commanded very
general acquiescence; and even wben appealed
from tbey have been in a large majority of cases
affirmed, often with very marked expressions ot
approvalJrom the oourt above, which has fre
quently been satisfied to affirm the Judgment
solely for ibe reasons expressed by tbe Judge
below.
"We deprecate tbe entrauce of partisan feel
ings into any canvass tor Judicial officers. This
case would be no exception were It not that
tbe other side force it npon us. A Democrat
knows no compromise; party Infuses his whole
being, and no act that bas not a partisan signi
ficance meets his approval. Therefore, the Re
publicans of Pennsylvania, who desire to eleot
for their chief juJiotal officer a man of rare
ability and most fitting acquirements, are op
posednot ou tbe ground of their candidate's
fitness, but because be is not au old hunker
Jacksouian dyed in the-wool Democrat.
If this were the only question, we m'ght
pass it over in silence. The man who prefers
au inferior Judge of his own faith to a first-class
Judge of any other faith, Is a fool ot tbe first
water. We are not gotu& to luveigu aalust
Judge Sharswood, tho Domooratlo candidate,
lie may be tbe glass of fashion and the mold ot
form he may be one of the very ablest and
best men in the Keystone State; but the can
vass is in suoh a position that men, whether
willing or not, represont ideas. If Sharswood
succeeds, the exultation will be not over the
choice of the man, nor over the suooess of the
judge, but the air will be vexed with tbe ulula
tlonsof the Johnsonlzed Democracy over tho
success of "My Policy." Tb Is we deprecate.
"And we most cordially hope for the suocess
of Judge Williams, because be is not only our
lawful standard-bearer, but by the vote cast for
this, tbe only State ticket, will the polltloal
standing of Pennsylvania be assured. If the
Democratic candidate shall be successful, the
great and important It may, indeed, be said In
some sense tbe controlling influence of Penn
sylvania in tbe national polltloal arena will be
counted as being against Congress and the
measures of tbe National Legislature for renon
structlon, and In favor of President Johnson
and his views. How strong an lufluonoe will
it have upou the elections In Novembor In
the great State of New York! What shouts of
exultation and triumph will be echoed and re
eohoed from one end of the country to another
if Pennsylvania has given a majority for the
Democratio candidate ou the State tlokett
What new life aud energy will be infused into
the unrepentant and unreconstructed Rebels of
tbe South if the telegraph shall announoe to
them a Democratio victory in Pennsylvania!
It will be the sole cause of rejoicing which will
be heard of after the election, should the De
mocratic candidate be elected, that he 1b a De
mocrat, and of tbe stratghtest sect.
"Friends in Pennsylvania! You attach vast
importance to the action of your State. 'As
goes Pennsylvania, so goes the Union,' is an
old and generally truthful saying. Yet we
ardently hope the Keystone State may go right
next Tuesday, and that tbe Union may follow
the excellent example. The hours for work are
few; let every man be up and doing, and there
can be no reasonable doubt that, if proper
exertion is made, we shall reoord on Wednesday
morning a grand victory for the right side."
General Rosecbakz, who has heretofore
been allied to the Democratio party by family
and other ties, made a short, blunt, and sol
dierly speech in San Francisco on the eve of
the late election in California. He said that
he knew nothing whatever about the local
issues pending in the contest in that State,
but was present at the meeting beoause he
thought that the result of the election there
would have an influence on the approaching
elections in the Eastern States. If the hero
of Stone River had labored through a two
column speech, he could not have shown him
self more heartily in favor of the success of
the Republican ticket throughout the country
than he did in these few words. The Genera,
further said that, when certain Democrats
waited upon him for the purpose of ascertain
ing his view3 and gaining his support, he said
to them: "What will you do with the power
when you get it f You cannot do auything
with it." In conclusion, "he thought the
people had better not give them the power
which they sought, and he did not think that
they would." In these last words he struck
the key-note to the present contest, and it
remains for the "Boys in Blue" of this city to
see to it that his words come true. Sheridan,
Sickles, Rosecran. ! Lyle, Leech, Ballier !
Soldiers, you have your choice between these
two trios.
"Reward Youk Enemies." The people of
Philadelphia have their votes claimed for Mr
Joseph N. Peirsol for City Treasurer entirely on
tbe ground of the scriptural injunction to love
and reward your enemies. That gentleman,
having done all he could to injure ouroity, is
now to be rewarded by being made City Trea
surer. A Rood opportunity is afforded for the
doctrine of the Sermon on the Mount. Let Mr.
Peirsol present his own claims for our votes,
expressed in bis letter on the report of League
Island as a Navy Yard: "1 have been Informed,
and I believe, League Island has been wholly
reclaimed from the river Delaware, and is only
prevented from overflow by large brinks of
stone and earth. It Is surrounded, except upon
one side, by a marsh, and for this cause, as well
as from insalubrity, It bas been unimproved
and unoccupied, except as pasture laud, at a
moderate rent, since its reclamation. Thus the
gift of the Island would be dear, and still dearer if
$2,000,000 were added to the gift towards Jilting it
for use. 2 he place has only to be visited and seen
to demonstrate its unfitness, and I would humbly
suggest a visit by a committee of Congress for
tbe purpose, before so great an outlay is in
curred or promised, where performance la im
possible." """"
Judge Shabswood and Secession. Judge
Stiarswood is a life-long and conscientious believer
in the doctrine of secession. We do not say this
for partisan purposes, but merely as a fact which
would not be denied by the Judge himself. He
did not actually aid tbe Rebelllonn or was be a
traitor, yet for years before the war, or the war
was thought of by the people, he doclared his
conviction that in theory and under our form
of Government a State bad tbe right to secede.
This Is announced in his Commentaries on
Blackstone again and again, as every student
of that work can testify. Those who vote for
bim vote for one wbo is an original secessionist,
and wbo was so consistently, and we believe is
so still. Can any loyal man place in power one
wbo held this doctrine? Can any soldier who
bas fought for the maintenance of the Union
vote lor one wbo held and holds that In so doing
he crushed by mere force what was a legal right?
A Claim to he Sheriff, Mr. Peter Lyle pos
sesses two qualities in a marked degree, and
these are an immense amount of arrogance and
a very bad temper. He has no courtesy, and is
evidently so passionate as to be utterly unfitted
for tbe important duties of Sheriff. How this
modest and courteous gentleman thinks of
hlmselr, and speaks of the Republican voters of
Philadelphia, we will let him show for himself.
His speeoh to tbe Convention which nominated
bim contains the following paragraph:
"Let us canvass our precinots, and slop this
colonization. It we stop this cheating, the lowest
man on our tloket will be elected by from 6000
to 8000 majority. We were not beaten last year.
I WAS Not beaten. I WAS ELECTED BY A
HANDSOME MAJORITY; but I was counted
out. Tbe right way Is not let those bascals
do It again."
The Democrats of Philadelphia claim to be
tbe true friends of tba soldiers because tbey
have upon their ticket soldler-oandldatea.
The Republicans, however, have four on theirs,
namely, Colonel Charles Kleokner, Colonel
Ellsba W. Davis. Colonel Marshall C. Hong,
and Colonel John Clark, as brave soldiers as
ever bandied a sword. Aorrisioum Free Press.

The inference is natural so tar as he was concerned,
that J udge All lson was determined to place his loyalty
on record.but could not answer for his colleague, wbosa
