To the Democrats of Centre County ?
The Democratic County Committee
of Centre county offer a handsome ban-
ner costing about fifty dollars to the
election district of the county polling
the largest percentage of the vote cast
last year.
The basis of calculation will be the
vote cast for W. H. Barcray, candi-
date for Secretary of Internal affairs.
The comparison will he made between
‘that vote and the vote cast this year
for Roserr E. WricHT, candidate for
Auditor General,
The banner shall belong to the win-
ning district so long as it shall con-
tinue to poll the largest precentage of
its vote at subsequent fall elections;
the basis of calculation to be determin
ed each year by the County Committee
and to become the permanent property
of the election district polling the
highest percentage of votes according
to the above plan for three consecutive
years. L. A. SHAFFER,
C hairmn.
Where They Will Be Held.
Meetings will be held to-night at
Eagleville and Coburn, and to-morrow,
Saturday, night at Snow Skeeand Hub
lersburg. Turn out big crowds to
greet the abie speakers who will ad:
dress you.
——Every man in the state who fav
ors » fair ballot and honest court, an
equal chance for interests located in
the country with those belonging to the
cities, and who wants a competent and
creditable Judiciary, will vote for a
Constitutional Convention.
Every vote against a Constitu-
tional Couvention, is a vote against an
honest ballot law, and righteous legis
lation for communities.
i—————————
Go out and vote, and when you
vote, remember that the question is
between honest administration and Re-
puolican ring thievery. If you are in
favor of the latter, give your support to
Greco and Morrison; if the former,
you will vote earnestly and determin-
edly for WrieHT and TiLpEN.
—— Tax-payers remember that a
vote for Grease and Morrison, will be
a vote to endorse the present manage-
ment of the state office for which they
are candidates.

but take the people whom they hope
to leceive, to be the veriest tools in ex-
Istenee.
Ihey know, as does every intelli
gent farmer 1n the country, that the
Republican ny as a party, is re-
sponsible tor ihe defeat of their meas-
ure 10 equalize ‘axation ; they know
tial every Republican newspaper iu
the State, and every Republican leader |

jet, was opposed to the passage of
tier bill they know that both branches
of the legislature, both their
years
measure was before that body, were
overwhelmiagly Repablican; they
knw that the finance commitiee in
the Senate,in which their measure was
smothered, was a Republican
mittee, and that the bogus tax-hill,
passed as an excuse for the one they
desired, was drawn by a Republican
official, acting under authority of the
Republican State Committee.
They know these things and know
also that if the party, they are now try-
'inrto get the farmer to vote for, had
b:en favorable to the passage ot the
| legislation they wanted, that it could |

in spite of any speech Mr. WRIGHT or
any oue else might have made.

"final adjournment, the result would

ure, and no Democrat or granger could
have influenced one of all the Repub-
licans who voted against it, to have
changed his decision, or raised his
voice in its favor.
While two-thirds of the Democrats
in the Senate voted squarely for the
Granger tax-bill, four-fifths ot the Re-
publicans voted against it. It is to the
who acted as their party leader and
papers demanded, that the defeat of
this measure is to be attributed and to
no other person or power.
It is for this same Republican party
that defeated the Granger tax-bill, and
will defeat it again, that certain would
be leaders of that organization, are try-

the State.
Farmers remember, who it was that
struck your measure down ; who it was
that had the power to pass it for you
had they so desired ; and when you go
to the polls rebuke them, and the men
who would now betray you, by voting
against the Republican party, that bas
been against you and your interests at
all times and under all circumstances,

How Can They Explain it to Their
* Granger Friends.
Farmers, as this is the last oppor-
tunity we will have to say anything to
you before you will be called upon to
identify yourselves with one party or
the other, we desire to warn you of one
of the most brazen demands that has
ever been made upon an intelligent
people. Your leaders, Messrs. RHONE,
Tuomas and McSPARREN have asked
you, because you are grangers, to vote
against Mr. WriGHT, the Democratic
candidate for Auditor General: Saying
that he opposed the bill for equaliza-
tion of taxes. That their statements
are lies you need but read Mr.
WricHTS' own words as they appear
in another column of this issue to de-
termine for yourselves. Butthisstand,
which they take, is insignificant indeed
when compared with the brazenness
they display in asking you to support
the candidates of a party which has, by
its own circulars sent out by its own
com- |
leaders had declared against the meas- |
majority of that body—the Republicans |

A Fearful Arraignment.
From the Democratic State Platform.
We arraign and condemn the Repub-
lican Legislature for having refused to
enforce the Constitution hy « propriate
legislation ; for having failed to pass
honest and equitable a,.portionment hills,
as required by the Constituiion ; for
having ignored the demands of labor for
relief by law ; for hoving denied the
righteous popular demand for such lows
as would distribute the buideis of public
tazation equally upon oll cases of pro-
perty, and for having refused to ire-
form long-existing abuses in the
mercantile appraisenient luis. us re-
commended by
the Demoveratic Fare
cutive in 1885
We arraign and condemn the Re-
publican Auditor-General for huv-
ing permitted John Bardsley, the
Republican Treasurer of Philadel-
phia city and county, to embezzie
$500,000 of State tax collected by
vim, which he was permitted to re-
tain for a long period after the
same was due and payable.
We arraign and condemn (he Le-

Most of the above money John Bardsley had in the Keystone Bank.
The City of Philadelphia has also LOST about $600,000 in the same institution.
Where Did this Money Come From ?
Why did Bardsley send it to Quay ?
On 2d of November, 1889, Auditor General McCamant sent the money for the Magistrate’s costs, in Philadelphia, to
When JOHN BARDSLEY went to JAIL, he had collected the following moneys of the COMMONWEALTH OF
PENNSYLVANIA, which he had Not paid over:
- $622,013 II
- 289.232 96
- 367,604 18
- 1,497 54
- 86,030 80
$1,366 378 58
About $1,000,000 of this had been in his hand since August 1st, 1890, and the Auditor General and State Treas
urer had taken NO legal steps to coilect it, although it was their duty to do so on October 1st, 1890.
None of the Experts have yet been able to discover and report where this money went.
The Due Bill, above, shows that Bardsley got $3,877 from the Bank on November 29th, 1889, and sent it to Quay
Quay collected the money through his bank at Beaver ; aud when the certificate was sent on the Keystone Bank
Bardsley deposited it in the Keystone Bank, and on, the 29th November, 1889, he, (Bardsley) paid $1575 to H. H.
Graffen, a clerk to Auditor General McCamant.
ON THE SAME DAY he sent this $8,877 to QUAY !

The Monument to Henry W. Grady.
The Monument from which the cur-
State Chairman, to every merchant in
Penusylvania, pledged itself to repeal
the Mercantile Tax law. Are you
going to let such hypocrites gull
you into voting more taxes upon your-
selves? Yet this will be your reward
if you vote for the Republican candi-
dates. They are pledged to repeal the
Mercantile Tax and it must necessari-
{ly then increase that of the farmer.
{| Vote for WricaT and TiLDEN.
——1If you believe it was wrong to
. allow BARDSLEY to get away with a
! million and a halt of the State’s money,
have the courage to say so by voting
against the candidates of a ring, that
. wants to continue BArDsLEY methods.
——1f the Republican press really
thinks that the calling of an extra ses-
sion was a bit of political buncombe,
how can it explain the fact that its Re-
publican legislature appointed a com-
mittee, away last fall, to do the same
work that ae Senate is compelled to
do now ?

; month, considered artistically and ar-
' chitecturally very fine, is indeed a
| small thing compared to the character
lof the man, whose name it is to per-
| petuate. Much has been written of
ithe worth and greatness of Henry
' Grady ; but it is only lately that North-
. erners, as well as Southerners, realized
"that he did more to found the new
South than any other one man. A
man of the present generation, the war
was to him ouly a part of history and
through his warm patriotism and hope-
i ful words the South was able to see
order and success through chaos and

Henry W. Grady, journalist, orator,
' patriot, Editor of the Atlanta ‘‘Consti-
' tution.” Born in Athens, Georgia,
i
May 24th, 1850. Died
December 23, 1889. Graduated at the
State University in the year 1868.
When he died he was literally loving a
nation into peace:
“This hour little needs the loyalty
that is loyal to one section and yet
holds the other in enduring suspicion
and estrangement.
and perfect loyalty that loves and
trusts Georgia alike with Massachu-
setts, that knows no South, no North,
no East, no West, but endears with
equal and patriotic love every foot of
our soil, every Staie in our Union." —
Boston, December, 1889.
“The citizen standing in the doorway
stone, while the evening of a well
spent day closes in scenes and sounds
that are dearest—he shall save the
Republic when the drum-tap is futile
and the barracks are exhausted.”’—

Fierce Fighting in Cork.
Cork, October 27.—The
aroused throughout Ireland, and es-
pecially in this city by recent political
and factional sayings and doings is
very bitter, aud threatens to result in
serious conflicts between the Me-
Carthyites aud Parneilites. There
were several affrave here yesterday
evening at the close of the various po-
litical meetings, and sticks and stones
were freely used by both parties. The
result is that a number of members of
the two opposing parties are being
nursed in the hospitals and elsewhere
for severe wounds incurred during the
frays. The sermon preached last Sur-
day at Kilkenny by Father Fidelis, of
the Order of St, Francis, is commented
upon liere and elsewhere. Father
Fidelis on the occasion bitterly de-
' nounced the late Charles Stewart Par-
nell, saying that “the most depraved
monster who ever lived” was now
“swept off the face of the earth.” The
reverend gentleman also said that the
women who were supporting him were |
that the |
“limbs of the devil,” and
local workingmen’s club was “a syna-
gogue of hell,”

permitted John Bardsley, the Republi-
can Treasurer of Philadelphia city and
county, to embezzle more than $360,000
of State license moneys collected by him,
which he was permitted to retain for a
\ long period after the same was due and
payable.
We arraign and condemn the Repub-
lican Auditor-General for having con-
{ spired with John Bardsley, the Republi-
can Treasurer of Philadelphia city and
county, to appoint and retain corrupt
Mercantile Appraisers, who abused
their offices for their own private pecu-
niary advantage, robbed the State of its
Just revenues, and imposed the Common-
wealth hundreds of thousands of dollars
of needless costs, and we demand the
dismissal of the Mercantile Appraisers
of Philadelphia.
We arraign and condemn the Repub-
lican Auditor-General for having con-
spired with John Bardsley, the Repub-
lican Treasurer of Philadelphia city
and county, to speculate in public adver-
tising and for having received from the
publishers of the same bribes to influ-
ence their official conduct in placing such
advertisements.
We arraign and condemn the Repub-
lican State Treasurer for wilfully and
knowingly permitting Bardsley to retain
in his possession over $1,000,000 taxes
collected for and owing to the Common-
wealth of Pennsylvania, by reason of
which dereliction a large portion of the
money has been lost to the people.
We arraign and condemn the Repub-
lican State Treasurer for having con-
spired with John Bardsley, the Repub-
| lican Treasurer of Philadelpha, to se-
cure to him the payment of $425,000
of the public school fund, long in ad-
| vance of the usual time, and when Bard-
| sley was already known to the State
| Treasurer to be a defaulter for over
$500,000, which sum thus improvident-
| ly paid to Bardsley was bf him embez-
| zled, to the loss of Philadelphia city
and the shame and scandal of the State.
| We arraign and condemn the Repub-
lican State Treasurer and the Republi-
can Auditor General for having con-
: spired to pay to John Bardsley, the Re-
* publican Treasurer of Philadelphia city
and county, on December 30, 1890,
$150,000 out of the State Treasury,
ostensibly on account of Philadelphia
county’s share of the personal property
tax ; but actually before that tax had
been paid into the State Treasury, and
when John Bardsley was already a de-
faulter and embezzler to the amount of

Governor Pattison Shot.
While at the Rifle Range He is Wound-
ed in the Head.
Harrissugg, Oct. 25.—While Gov-
ernor Pattison and members of his
staff were qualifying as marksmen, at
the Governor's Troop range yesterday
afternoon, some members of the Har-
risburg Gun Club, whose grounds cross
the range, began firing at clay pig-
eons.
The shot whizzed ahout the Govern-
| or's party, all of whom hunted shelter
| but the Governor himself, until at last
| a stray shot struck him on the back of
| the head. The shot did not pierce the
| skin, but it was stinging and painful,
and the club members were requested
{to shoot in another direction. None
{ of the others in the Governor's party
! were hurt.
