Ilndlcul Trickery.
Day after day add u fresh evidence of
, tho r.wc.Ulty antl trickery existing
amongst tho opposition leaders. A re
cent uct of theirs will illustratoit.
About a year ago Peter Ilcrdlc, a
wealthy man of Wllllamsport, In order
to provide for his sou-lii-law, got a bill
put through tho Legislature, erecting a
now Judicial District Including Lycom
ing and Elk counties. Geary, appoint
ed Bentloy to this position.
Last fall, contrary to Ilerdlu'd antici
pations, lion. James A.Gambto received
tho Democratic nomination for Judge,
and was olocted, notwithstanding the
importation of 600 voters by Hemic.
Thwarted in tills, ho rushes again to
the Legislature, and with moans gener
ally employed by lobbyists, succooJod
in less thun threo hours In passing
a bill through both branches of tho
Legislature, und signed by that party
toolJohn deary. Evorythlng is now
.mado to bond to parfy; courts, J ustluo,
legislatures, laws, and oven tho Consti
tution Itself.
Sinck tho eloso of tho war, making
"treason odious" has been tho principal
stock In trndoof our opponents. In fact
a military orator of this county always
began and ended his speeches by stereo
typed allusions to tho "red-handed trai
tors who shed tho blood of our heroes,"
(his wasn't spilled), and this was his
nmln,argumetit, Alas, for these loyal
