ADVLSTISING. —The BELLEFONTE
REPUBLICAN has a larger circulation
than any other Republican paper pub
lished in the county. Our merchants
and business men will please make a
note of this.
ARE YOU WORKING.?
We ask, in all seriousness, if the mem-
here of the Republican party in Centre
county are doing their whole duty as the
exigencies of the campaign require ?
Have the township committees exhibit
ed that' energy and discretion—that
ceaseless and untiring activity, the in-
terests and the occasion demand?
We talk plainly.
Have you done any thing P
Have you yet prepared lists of the
doubtful voters in your townships?
Have you examined the Assessor's
books, and are you ready to challenge the
spurious voters?
Have you placed in the hands of the
doubtful such proof of democratic venali-
ty as will leave them in no doubt of what
is their duty ?
Do you know that you can get the pre-
cise documents required by applying to
the efficient Chairman of the Republican
County. Committee, John T. Johnson,
Bellefonte ?
Ktiowing - this, have you secured these
pamphlets, and
Have you circulated them, or are they
safely stowed away in some pigeon hole
until after we lose by your carelessness ?
Are you using your personal influence
and best efforts to elect the entire Re-
publican ticket?
Have you arranged for localmeetings,
and secured such talent as msY be had
for the asking ?
Are you in correspondence with the
Chairman of the County Committee?
Or aro you waiting for "some one else
to act ?"
Have you placed tickets in the hands
of the right men?
Have you hitched up your horse and
driven a square to see a doubtful voter ?
Are you aware that the democrats are
trying to lull youinto criminal apathy,
trusting, thereby, that you will lose the
victory by default?
Do you know that they are notleaving
one stone unturned—one lie unrehearsed
—one fact unbclied—one Republican midi-
date unbeslirned—one penny of Packer's
sweat-money unappropriated, or one
string unpulled, night or day, to defeat
Sou?
This is truth; and if you expect to
wrest (his county from democratic domi-
nation, you must

are straining every nerve to carry both

well as the Legislature.
EDITORS
The success of the Democracy this
year commits the State to repudiation,
free-trade and unbridled corruption.
We beseech Republicans to be on
the alert
Meet the enemy right in front.
Don't shirk, another day.
Gird up your loins, and, with the glo
rious banner unfurled, of Protection,
Loyalty, Geary and the Right, press on
over the corrupt body of effete, disloyal
and detestable Democracy.
The Packer Sweat Fund—Fall in for
Rations.
Asa Packer's check for seven. Aux,-
dred dollars was received, as we learn
from private Democratic sources, in
this city, on Friday last, and as late as
Monday morning had lain untouched
in the custody of the financial agent of
the "Ring." In fact there was but
one man among them upon whom the
Ring could agree as stake-holder. A
few of the youngsters have gone into
the county to"instruct the people," and
from now until the 12th of October,
the"fur" will fly—sandwiched between
greenback leaves. Two hundred dol
lars will be expended in Peunsvalley,
and Fred. Kraut has been detailed to
ride the "circuit" South of Nittany
mountain, to discover the weak points.
It is thought the weakest point along
the line will be from Half Moon to the
Union county line !
Seven hundred dollars, plus Moy
er's $3OO (just the sum he appropria
ted from the school fund), makes an
even $lOOO, and this ought to carry the
county. Mutchler, in his note accom
panying the "fund," takes occasion to
express his "regrets at the dissatisfac
tion existing in—Centre county," and
wants to know " who, and what char
acter of man that singing master,Moy
er, is ?" We modestly suggest that a
few files of the REPusucAN,mailed to
Mr. Mutchler, would obviate an em—
barrassing correspondence on the part
of our Democratic county committee.
As near as we can " mathematics"
this fund conundrum, the sum now in
hands is equal to about 37 , 1 cents to
each Democratic voter. Three big
drinks and a "pony," It will be ad—
visable for the country Democrats to
"draw" on the Treasurer as soon as
possible. Judge Hosterman will be en
titled to a sum sufficient to indemnify
himself for late losses sustained by him.
Ready, draw.
One by one the facts in the life of
Moyer, alias Meyer, the Rough, are
being bro't to light, and the trite char
actor of this " : figure .head" of the
Democratic ticket appears in all its
mottled hideousness. We have now
to chronicle this lamb like professor of
Christianity in .the character of a
Rough ! In the summer of 1864,while
he was Superintendent of the Aarons
burg Sabbath School, Mr. Thomas G.
Erhart was Assistant Superintendent.
Moyer was, at the same time, Presi.
dent of that "ile" company, and Er
hart was Secretary. At one of the
private meetings of that celebrated
company, whose existence the " little
dutch villain" of the Hoserag once de
nied and afterwards admitted its exis
istence and his own coin plicity, a
little "onpleasautness" arose between
President Moyer and his Secretary.—
The mild communicant and professor
of things unfelt—the moral and model
instructor of children in the ways of
righteousness and peace—this devo
tional chanter of His praises, reached
his arm across an intervening table,
and with an arm strengthened by reli
gious fervor, and a grip augmented by
a merciful fellow-feeling, grasped his
religious co-laborer by the throat and
choked him !
Let us have Peace.

IS it not about time the Watch, man
discovered another letter from the In
dian reeions, so as to keep the breath

MB
In our issue of the 15th, we present
ed, to thinking men, the "brief" em
bracing the most damaging " items"
contained in our "Bill of Murder" fil—
ed aganst the National party of Crime,
Blood and Assassination. The jovial
and more sportive details of that rec
ord anterior to, and embracing the re
bellion, we still judge sufficiently im
pressed upon the minds of our people
to require no additional comment
here.
Political animosity lighted the fires
of burning homesteads in ravaged
Kansas, and Orphan Asylums in New
York, no more readily then, than it
now penetrates the single avenue be—
betwixt 108 brave men and God's free
air, and throttles them while in full
flush of manhood . and buoyant hope.
The same implacable enemy of free in
stitutions and human rights confront
ing the harrassed liberty-lover in Kan
sas, last winter, in a Pennsylvania Leg
islature, defeated a humane bill intro
duced by a Republican Senator,for the
better protection of the lives of ill-fated
miners !
The same political organization which
has devoured the subsistence, and leg
islated away the rights of every work—
ingman within its ranks, boldly placed
itself on record in our State Senate in
opposition to a measure simply declar
ing that additional safeguards sho'd be
enforced for the protection of the lives
of workingmen ! !
Eivry Democratic Senator argued.
connived and voted against that bill ! !
Excepting three, every Republican
Senator argued; labored and vo
ted in favor of that bill.
The following is the vote as it ap
peared in the Legislative Record—Re
publicans in Roman; Delnocrats in
Italics :
YEAS—Messrs. Bilhnefelt, Cole
man, Connell, Errett, Fisher, Gra
ham, Kerr, Olmsted, Robison, Taylor,
White and Worthington, Speaker

NAYS—Messrs. Beck, Burnett,
Jackson, Linderman, Lowry, At' Can
dless, Osterhout,
Searight, Stutzman, Turner and
Wallace-14.
The Senate of the Commonwealth is
confessedly the representative body of
the Legislative power of the State. It
represents in a superlative degree, the
intelligence and the political acumen
of either party, and the action of its
members concededly reflex the ani—
mus and intent of the party they rep-:,
resent
..Did Messrs. Beck, Burrett,Jackson,
Linderman, M' Candless, 'lntire, Na
gle, Searight, Turner and Wallace ex
press in their votes on this humane
bill, the sympathy and devotion of_ the
Democratic party for the miners of Av
ondale ?
If they did; well might the stricken
widows and orphans at Avondale de
spair if their 'only hope of protection
lay through the legislation of Demo
cratic senators ! •
Such protection and affection as the
mountain -wolf extendi to the strayed
lamb.
The original bill was prepared by
Mr. Bannon, of Schuylkill county,and
was passed against the earnest oppo
sition of the Democratic representa
tion from that county. -It was origi—
nally intended that its provisions sho'd
be applicable to the mines and miners
of Schuylkill county only. When the
bill was taken up upon its second
reading in the Senate, Mr. Coleman,
Rep., moved to strike out the word
"county of Schuylkill," and insert in
lieu thereof ".State of Pennsylvania."
The bill would then apply equally to
all mines in the State, and especially
to the extensive mines of Luzerne.—
What said Senator Turner, the Dem ,
ocratic representative from Luzerne ?
I think that it is a little rough
"treatment to Luzerne county to force
" this bill upon them."
Democratic sympathy and devotion
to the workingmen, with a vengeance I
Mr. Turner insisted that while it was
eminently proper protection should be
vouchsafed the miners of Schuylkill
county, the "shafts and excavations in
Luzerne were neither so deep or so cx
tensive as to require additional safe—
guards.''
What superlative devotion and lov
ing kindness ! !
Continued this affectionate (?) Dem
ocratic lover of the poor miner:
"I trust a measure of this kind will
" not be thrust upon Luzerne county,
"and hope the amendment, covering
" Luzerne county, will not be adopt
" cd."
What an unspeakable outburst of
rapturous affection was this, for the de
voted rained

Fred Kraut.
Fred Kraut was in town last Friday.
He reports that he has canvassed
Pennsvalley faithfully and finds.winch
dissatisfaction. On Ms arrival he was
immediately closeted with the Ring,
and the subject of Judge Hostermin's
loss in campaign stimulents was taken
up. The following conversatiotoren
sued.
Icamrr—l suppoe you've beard
about that . loss of whiskey the party
sustained at the Judges! That BEA - B-
LicAN is a perfect pest to me; - ald I
expect Bill. Brown will have this en
tire conversation in his next paper.
My business over here to day wee to
ascertain whether this barrel ofSto
ver's whiskey stolen from . theJniges'
barn where the . Judge and I placed-it
on Saturday, is to be charged ro - us
and deducted from our shar ofthe
sweat money?
RING—Yes, but it will be put down
to the lowest. figure. The Ring don't
expect or desire to make anything_ off
you and your Dutchmen.
KRAUT- -I think its pretty rough
to have to pay for spilt milk. -You
see Love's Loop fellows got, wind of
it and thinking they inight•defeat
Moyer by drinking up the whiskey,
about. 20 of the derned rascals came
up on Sunday night and emptied the
barrel, not leaving the Judge a morn

expected. And to add insult to injury
they tacked this note over the bung
hole.
JUDGES' BARN. -}
Sunday night, Sept: 19th. •
Dear Judge: . Don't feel hard about
this whiskey. We don't do it. to . inut
you, but it might elect Moyer, and
that. Col. Love and we'uns wont stand.
You'll find a quart. bottle of it 6: ter .
the granary door. Tell Fred Kurtz to
say it was some mean Republican. I

Col. :hurriedly Yours,

Now gentlemen, that's the how of it,
and I don't think it just the thing to
have this barrel taken out - of ouisliare.
If you'll replace it, with another bar
rel, or even a half barrel, it will be all
right.
RING—We cant send you another
drop. We are all out. tent the last
gallon to Moyer yesterday. We didn't
expect that be 'would want any, as he
told us he could count on a hundred
votes on. accoun t of his temperance
principles, but some of the Democrats
over there were getting a little shaky
and we had to let it go. Plow much
money are you going to need over'
there to get things into shape again?
KRAUT—( taking an old. copy of the
Reporter from his pocket And figuring
upon its 4 inch margin ) The lowest
figure at which we can hope to carry
Pennsvalley, as we ought, will be not
less than $350, though perhaps $3OO
might. do.
RING-300 • fiddlesticks—we lied
thought you could go:it without any of
this fund. We gave you Dutchmen
the head of the ticket and it seems to
us you ought to spend your own
money if any is necessary.
KRAUT—WeII, we must have some—
s2so or $2OO at least. Can't do any
thing with less than that. I promised
over $3OO on my trip last week.
RlNG—Can't do it Fred. We thought
the whiskey would be about right,
and had made other arrangements for
using the money.
KRAUT—We must have $l5O or
$lOO, or lose the election. Coburn,
Butts,and RashCadwallader, are gain
ing fearfully, and if you are prepared
to see the whole ticket go up the
spout, why, I cant help it.
RING—We must run this campaign
economically. We are paying out too
much m^ney every day to genteel dead
beats who den% own their own vote.

go back without something. What do

It is a sincere pleasure to gaze upon
a picture of innocence, purity and
blamelessnesi. It is a painful tfisk to
survey an image of guilt; culpability
and sinfulness. What more exstatic
than the one, or more repulsive than
the other? And the contemplation. of
Cod's noblest. work, an honest man,
evokes a like sentiment of respect and
admiration, while a sense of. loathing
and detestation fills the mind contem
plating the man of guile, deceit, and
"full of abomination."

ticians of. Centre county, irrespective
of patty, could not have selected two
characters more diametrically opposite

In all the relations of life, whether

covert and nefarious deeds for pelf and

Democracy vs. the L. C. & S. C. R. R.
Nearly two decades have passed
since a railroad through Pennsvalley
was first agitated.. Other valleys, less
favored in lay of land, wealth, extent
of resources or advantages contingent
upon the completion of a railroad,
are now happily and prosperously in
possession of one. Without enume
rating or enlarging upon the various
negative influences which have hith
erto deTeated the project,
.we wish
briefly to speak of' the present status
of railroad matters in Pennsvalley.--
At the railroad meeting in Millhcim
last August, the project was canvass
ed impartially, candidly. and was, in
every sense, disconnected with the
political qucse..ons now warmly agi- .
tating the country. The Lewisburg,
Centre & Spruce Creek Railroad en
terprise, and the success or defeat of
political aspirants were as indepen
dent of each and the other as the
poles. We doubt if the most heated
partizan present at that meeting anti
cipated or desired any clashing be
tween the railroad and political in
terests. The question was purely a
matter of public enterprise, involving
the material interests of one of our
wealthiest. and most prosperous val
leys. Democrats and Republicans
vied in their enthusiastic support of
the enterprise .
It was well known that James P.-
Coburn was then, as for many years
past, a hearty and uncompromising
Advocate of the road. He had never
faltered or lost heart, while others
halted or abandoned the cause',' but
had steadily, and at all times, ex
erted his influence for its success. It
was generally understood that, Mr.
Moyer was favorable to the project.
He had never been. in any special
manner, connected with, or zealous
in the hnilding of th e road, yet it was
t7tonght his sympathies were favora
ble to it.' He had carefully - concealed
his views, hut it was believed his
landed interests would compel his
support, spite ofadverso opioiens or
inherent penuriousness.
This was early in the campaign.
An eruption in the Democratiecon
vention threw this unknown buck
wheater into the political market, and
whether&he was meat; flour or tail
ings was beyond the ken of the shrewd
est party leader. Now it a ppm - rs that
this politico:troubadour, shrewdly d is
guismg his ,honest opinions, for Po
litical purposes, is, at heart. an anti
railroad man, and pledged to more
than a score of men, privately to op
pose the road prior to election, and
openly thereafter
When openly confronted, he gives
a hesitating and lukewarm support,
and only that through policy.
A portion of Mr. Moyer's posses
sions—the major portion, we under
stand—will be directly benefited by
the building of the Lewisburg, Cen
tre & Spruce Creek road.
Then wherefore Mr. Moyer's oppo
sition ?
Has the shrewd agent of a compet
ing line, with a harvest of greenbacks
in band, been tampering with the fig
ure head of Centre county Democra
cy? Does this supposition account
for the milk in the cocoanut, when
we think of the several valuable farms
and mills Mr. .A.loye i r has been able to
purchase within the past few weeks?
Has the howling at Mr. Coburn, by
the Democratic county press been di
rected by Mr. Moyer on the "stop
thief" plan? If any proof were lack
ing to satisfy those who care to know
and be governed by facts, we ask if
they are satisfied that our suggestions
are true, when it is stated.
I. That strenuous effort is being
made in Rennsvailey to secure the
right of way, and subscription to stock
for the building of the Lewisburg,
Centre & Spruce Creek Railroad.
2. That in point of pecuniary inter
ests arising from enhanced prices upon
personal property and lands, Jacob
G. Moyer will be benefited over Jas.
P. Coburn as-12 is to 1.
3. That it will require the undivid
ed effort of every resident of Penns
valley to secure said right of way and
stock.
4. .That J. P. Coburn's name is
spread upon the stock book for a :sum
equal to 36 per cent of his real
property!
That Jacob G. Noyer's name does
not appear upon the stock-books at all!
5. That Jacob G. Moyer refuses to
sign one single penny for this all-im
portant enterprise.
Why is it that: Mr. Moyer sh ould
thus interpose his influence and ex- ,
ample between the vast interests at
stake, and his own sordid selfishness; ?
Why is it that Mr. William Wolf,
Chairo. - um of the Potter towm-hip
committee, should &cline . to urge
I:ut•scriptions unless it be that he has
received his instructi nut from Moyer,
ivho is vastly interested in Putter tp;
lands?
Why is it that Gregg can give $50,-
000; Haines $lO,OOO or $15,000; 'Miles
$3u.000; Harris $70.000; Ferguson
$60,000, and Putter tp., the richest of
them ail, appear upon the books in
the paltry sum of 50 shares, unless it
be that Mr. Wolf, having no landed
estate, does the bidding of his master,
Moyer, who is heavily interested in
Potter ?
Are the Democratic land holders in
Pennavalloy prepared to hazard this
enterprise in the bands of a man -who
refuses to exert his personal influence
or give one penny in favor of this
grand undertaking?
Is there a citizen in thatvalley who
can tell us truthfully, he ever knew

Felix Grundy.
Fred Kraut., of the Mann tain Yoseretg,
has
.a correspondent signing himself Fe
lix Grundy, who hails from Aaronsburg.
Felix, next to crazy Stine, is the most
witless miffing in Pennsvalley. For a
while we attributed the articles to Stine.
but that gentleman indignantly denies
their authorship. Stine says he writes
most.of Krauts' editorials, but that neith
er his early religieus training or rever
ence for common sense would permit. him
to Felix Gruudyize. Furthermore, Stine
says Felix Grundy is "fooler" than he is;
that he is a shatter-brained ninny; sense
lesa liar; sappy dolt; muddy-headed
driveller; multitudinous puppy, and that
Felix Grundy's real name is
Fred. Kraut, alias Kurtz.
We believe poor Stine. Whenever
Krauts' seared consel:nce will not, per
mit him to father some knavish lie, more
infamous than the Nosercg's editorial
calumns usually admit, Kraut pulls the
switch, and away goes the chowderisb
mass of billingsgate, jargon, rant, dutch
fustian and Noserag p!atitudes, until the
out-house offal of the "little Dutch •vil
!ains's" brains (?) run dry, and Kraut
writ es "Felix Grundy" underneath it all.
Such is Felix Grundy, Fred. Kraut and
Fame.
The Last Day
Let every Republican in this county
remember that a, failure to register be
tween this time and Saturday night,
Oct. 2nd, will doubtless result in his
losing a vote. If you don't care wheth
er your party succeeds at the nest elec.-
tionHf you are willing the corrupt
party of crime and venality should
longer reign in old Centre—if you have
received any of Packer's sweat- money,
we beg of you not to register.
If you care for the interests of your
county and Commonwealth—prefer an'
honest administration of local and
State finances—arc anxious to avoid a
railroad monopoly that will freeze ev
