Without fear in this respect.
One. plan of fraud coinmuncod I will
mention, with tho viowof exposure aud
overthrow. It has couio to my know!
edge, and is susceptible of proof, that
largo numbora ofcoiorod mon general
ly young have been brought Into tho
Stato from tho neighborhood of Har
risonburg, Virginia, and Charlestown.
West Virginia, to voto at tho election
In October and Novorabcr. Tho former
squad wero ticketed to Harrlsburg, and
tho latter squad to Cnamboraburg, in
this Slate. Numbers, in llko mannor,
havo been located in Erio, Clarion and
other counties. Moro are oxnectod.
I now call upon tho Democrat In
overy election district In tho Stato to
form"Vlgilance Cornmittoes," to watch
and proveut tho success of these at
tempted cheats, nnd moot all kindred
efforts. Under tho Constitution U1030
colored people not having been residoats
for ono year, aro debarred from tho
privilege or tho eloclivo fniuchtao, and
in overy instance such a? aro unknown
in tho communities wlicro thoy sook to
"voto should bo fully' questioned and
mado to jirovo tlielr right to voto, be
fore allowing tliodoposlt of thoir ballot.
I call upon tho Democrats for vlgorou8
organizations.nndl invoko special vigi

Victory In Octobor la certain. I make
tills declaration witli full appreciation
of its import, and tho wolght which

emcnatiug fromonoin whom high con
fldonce has boon placed. I stato It from
conviction, nnd It is mado aftor careful
rovlow nnd full knowlodgo of tho con
dition and tendency of tho public mind
throughout tho Stato.
Tho content is slmplo. It Is an issuo
between capacity and Incapacity, and
between honesty and corruption, In tho
fu'uro administration of tho Stato.
Tho people will make overwhelming
choice in favor of future good govern

Tho Trial of Dr. Sclioepjie,
Tho esse of Dr. Paul Schooppo of Car
lislo, tried and found guilty in 18C9 of
the triurdcr of Mario Slcinccke, will
probably rank es ono of tho most la
niouson thocrlmlnal list In this country.
Ho was convicted mainly on thotfitl
mony of two "exports," Dr. Conrad
and Prof Aiken of tho Biltiraoro In
firmary, who testified as to tho prc-jonce
of pru-islc acid in tho stomach of tho
dceoescd, after n chemical examination,
mid to her probablo death by poison.
On this evldom 0 Dr. Schooppo wn
condemned to bo hung. His counsol,
however, succeeded In obtaluing a ro
prlovo i'romaov. Geary two days beforo
tho tlmo flxod for tho execution. Ho
has lain in prison awaiting a second
trial until n fortnight slnco. His trial
which has Just concluded, reiultud In
his acquittal and tho Judgo remarked
after receiving tho verdict of tho jury,
that 'ho bollovod it was God's

To thu Kni roit op tii b Puess. Sir:
In answer to tho inquiry of ono of your
correspondents relative lo tho espouses
of tho M'Clurc-aray election contost I
would say that thooxpense or that In
vestigation was less than that ol nny
other clmllar contest within my recol
lection, considering tho vast amount of
labor performed.
Tho Walt-Diamond committee sub
prenacd 510 witnesses and examined less
than 200. Tho expense! of that commit
tco.nsnpprovc J by tho senato and paid,
nmountcd to $20,231.73.
Tho M'CIuro Gray committoo subpoe
naed over fivo thonsand wltncssos nnd
oxamlnc J nearly two thousand, and its
expenses, as footed up In tho ring jour
nals, amount to $20,060.
In making up tho expenses of thoM'-Clurc-Gray
committee tho ring editors
embrace tho senatorial salaries of both
Colonel Gray and myself, and an item
of ovor $1,700 for printing paid to J. B.
Lippincott & Co. Tho Watt-Diamond
printing was dotio by tho stato printer,
paid in his bill, and docs not appoar in
tho expenses of that contest ; nnd as
both Watt and Diamond wero paid
senatorial salarIo3, thoso items should
appear In tho expenses of that contest
to mako tho comparison just.
I ropcat, that In no previous cleuion
contost was so much dono at so llttlo
cost as In tho M'CIuro Gray caso.
A. K. M'Clure.
Philadelphia, August 21, 1872.
A Word or two to thoso gentlemen
whoaro comlngto Pennsylvania tospeak
for tho Itopubllcan party. World Sen
ator Wilson and aonoral Hawloy and
others liko them advocato tho election
to tho highest ofllces of their States, of
mon who wore conf'ssedly Incompetent
and who had boon proven guilty of tho
grossest malfeasance in ofllco ? Sonator
Wilson Is an honest man, and Qen.
Ilawloyhas, year after year, had to
fight tho imported repeaters and rufll
ans of Tammany. Will the-o two mon
lend thomsclvos and thoir great Influ-
enco to tho corruptionisls of Ponn3yl
vanla.and aid in tho disgrace of tho Re
publican party and tho Stato ? Wo toll
thorn plainly, that If thoy como hero
aud advocato tho olccllon of Hartranft
and A'len, thoy will put thomsolvc3 in
tho placo of tho npologlsts of Tammany,
and Injuro irreparably tho causo of
President Grant. It Is humiliating
enough to soo some of our own good
men, uudor a mistaken senso of duty,
glvo their aid to tho Treasury Ring,
without having our candldato for Vice
President and "tho Gentleman in
American politics" contribute to tho
pcrpotuatlon of corruption In tho
second Stato of tho American Uulon.
Pi-ess.
If Mr. A. E. Borlo, tho President's
Secrotary of tho Navy, who onco was an
actlvo merchant in Philadelphia, or Mr.
William Welsh, tho President's Indian
missionary, who is now n merchant of
tho highest standlug, wero to ascertain
that their cashlor and bookkeeper had
for years been engaged in mysterious
stock speculations with a disreputable
broker, thoir accounts kept in Initials
or fictitious names, aud all tho whllo
tho secrets of tho countlng-liouso used
for prlvato and personal ends, wo can
easily Imagine what would bo tho re
sult. Wo aro vory suro tho dolinquont
bookkeeper would not bo promoted to
bo a partnor in tho firm. Yet this is ex
actly what tho "Cashier" and "Book
keeper" of tho Commonwealth of Ponn-
sylvanla havo been doing fur tho last
threo years.
It Is ciphered out by Ihe Philadelphia
Age that it costs tho Government 8200
por diem to furnish clerks to do tho
writing for tho Campaign Central Com'
mlltco aud to composo ready-made cdl
torlals for tho country press. Tho fact
simply stated Is that the country Is pay
Ing tho expenses of tho Grant and Wil
son campaign overywhore. Wo aro told
with a good deal of swelling arroganco
that the business men nre all on the
Qrant sldo, which Is very far indeed
from being truo; but If tho Grant party
is so wonderfully rich, wo think It
should pay Its own expenses, and not
saddlo them upon tho United States
Treasury. There is nothing In tho Con
stltutlon which requires us to ro olect
tho Doctor, though Boutwell scorns to
mime so.
Tho Difference,
Yerkcs misapplied tho public funds :
so did Hartranft.
Yorkos was trial and convicted for
misapplying tho public funds.
Hartranft was not tried for misapply,
ing tho public funds.
Ycrkei Is now In tho ponllontlary for
misapplying tho public funds.
Hartranft was nominates! for govern,
or by tho Cameron ring becauso ho had
misapplied tho publlo funds,
Tho Cameron ring now call Yorkos a
Jail bird.
Tho Cameron ring now laud Hart
ranft to tho fiklcH as a paragon of hon
esty. That's tho difference.

good clllnous by thu power of party
discipline. Last year In Now York tho
Indignation at thu i.'auds of T wad and

tho election thoro was but 0110 (luestlon.
and that win betweon honesty nnd theft.

It tainted with fraud, and tho State,

sylvanlans complacontly toll us 'that

of Hopublicin conscience in thoir Stato.

ing mora careless or If ss Influential than
hlmsolf, Is now oxpintincr in a felon's
coll his spirit of irregular cntjrprlso.
Mr. Hartranft wrs nomlnalrd because
of his bad character. Ho wrs chosen by
tho corrupt Iliugnf Harrisburg, nt tho
head of which is Simon Cameron, not
on account of nny ability or iniluciico
ho po33C3scd, but simply becauso rs
Governor he would stick at nothing
which his managers demanded.
Nominated against him Is a candidate
entirely nbovo suspicion from every
point of vlow. Mr. Bucknlow is a man
with thoroughly clean hands. Ho is a
good lawyer, and a man of sucli solid
nnd useful knowledge of public nflairs
that wo may properly glvo him tho
much abused namo of statosman. Prob
ably not an intelligent mnn In Penn
sylvania but thinks ho would bo a hot-
tor uovcrnor than Hartranft. lie is
supported by tho entire Democratic
pre s and by no less than twonty Bo
publican newspapers in tho Stato.
Many of tho most prominent Republi
can politicians refuso to voto for Hart
ranft. and declare tho Stato discraced if
it elects him. When Gov. Geary was
ol. cted over Packer In 18G9 ho received
50.10 per centum of tho votes cast to
19.C3 thrown for Mr. Packor, only 4.G9G
majority in a total of 070,C03. Tho
merest broath of popular fooling would
havo carried It tho othor way.
To say now that when Buckalow
stands for honesty, intolligeuco, and
capacity, in its highest oxprrssion, aud
Hartranft is proved to moan fraud and
corruption in 1" - lowest mnulf03tntiors,
thero aro not honest and independent
men enough in tho Stats to. elect tho
former, is tho most savago attack upon
tho character of Pennsylvania which
could po3slbly bo made.

Although wo havo snoken wc Jk after

Many Democrats.wo know, aro work

very much remains yot to bo dono. It
