When Montour county vrns erected, the
Democratic majority left. In this county wat
about 1,000. Why lias It doubled slnco?
Why havo tho Democrats risen from n mi
nority of 7f to n majority In llloonubiirg ?
Why did Pershing enrry 20 or 27 election
district) in 1875 Herwlck only voting with
the Molly Magulrca against him?
General causes mny be inentinned In an
swer to those questions, nml some snecini
mica also tho Columbia County Invasion
among thorn. Intelligent debnto fair work i
tin-so havo had eflcct In our local contests,
and the nubile sense has not been offended
by profligacy In local administration. Upon
tho whole, nominations have been fairly
made, and rivalry in obtaining them has
been kept within bounds. Tho unavoidable
disappointments ol candidates for nomina
tion, and of their friends, have not soured
or divided our people ; thoy have been borne
as ucccssary results of free popular action
and freo choice.
Another cause Is evident bad Republican
leadership. Tho Radical Ring, which has
for years seized all tho llttlo appointments
for this county from Hartranft and Grant,
have constantly offended their own people
and weakened their party. And in this
pious work they may bo relied upon for thv.
tuturr.
This year, with reform candidate-, who
nro safe and fit for high office, the Democra
cy of tho Union are united and sanguine.
United as we aro with them In opinion and
sympathy, wo can enter tho contest confident
that wo shall perform our wholo duty to our
country.
CHANT'S llltlhlilANT STItATEUY.
The "peace policy'' of the Administration
so earnestly emmended by sutlers, post-tra-d
rs, and the Indian Ring, is bearing legi
timate fruit It has resulted in cheating
the Indians first, then arming them, and
finally driving them to war. It is nn ex
cuse tor Increasing the army, although 7000
useless mon nro scattered through llio South
ern states. Grant and Cameron think it of
more importance to carry elections at the
point of tho bayonet, than to avenge the
death of Custer and his 300 men. In a word
U000 soldiers aro after Sitting Dull on the
Rosebud river, nud 7,000 soldiers aro in the
South to enforce tho "Civil Servlco Reform"
policy of the opposition. It is a "peace
policy" for the savages, and a "war policy"
for law abiding citizens of the South.
In this connection tho following dispatch
is Interesting :
Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory, August
21. -All but twonty-seven of the Utes who
left-Fort Fettermau after having beeu feast
ed and armed and having indulged iu nu
merous war dances, deserted at the Cheyenne
river on Friday last, taking with them tho
arms wich wero furnished them to fight the
Sioux.
From this it will bo seen that in the first
place Sitting Bull and the Sioux generally
made a mistako in leaving their base of sup
plies viz., the U. S. torts and agencies. In
order to remedy this tho Government arms
and equips a number of Bitting Bull's allies,
who immediately rejoin htm, ready to aid in
mos8acreing the remnants of our frontier ar
my. T-e excuse for an army in tue South
is that the peopto there may vote the Dem
ocratic ticket. The Indians bavo no votes
and Grant never cared for tho sacrifice of
white soldiers. Do the people approve of (hit

A F0KCED CONFESSION.
Thick and thin Radicals may bray them
solves hoarse in praises of their party, its
deeds, purpose and candidates, but there
are certain facts about the organizatlon that
cannot be bid from the people. A Demo
cratic House reduced the national expen
ditures $30,000,000, notwithstanding the op
position of Graut and a Republican Senate.
Corruption among high officials was ex
posed, and if not properly punished it was
because the criminals wero shielded by the
Administration. That tbeso statements are
true, we prove by the following extract
from the New York Tribune, a rank Repub
lican paper which supports Hayes and
Wheeler:
"We cannot boast a particularly pure
government. In fact, we aro especially
conscious that our Government has been
disgracefully corrupt, and we mean to havo
a national house-cleaning. Nor can wo
boast a very economical Government. Mun
icipal government alone costs us more than
all forms of government costs Great ISrituin
Its Crown, its aristocracy, its Established
Church, its dissatisfied Ireland, its enor
mous standing army, its scattered garrisons
nil over the world, its vast navies which up
hold the majesty of Great Britain on every
sea and in every foreign port. Besides this
we have costly State and national establish
ments, and are probably tho best taxed peo
ple on the face of the earth."
POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS.
At the last session of Congress tho House
intended to stop political assessments, and
accordingly passed a bill forbidding any
officer or employee of the government to
pay 'money tor political purposes to any
other officer or employee, "or other person."
The Senato In Its wisdom struck out these
last three words, so all that is necessary Is
for the hat to be passed arouud by somebody
who is not In government employ to render
tho act of Congress altogether a nullity,
So the work of collecting two per cent, of
each clerk's salary goes bravely nil in behalf
of Hayes and civil service reform.
Ot course- all this is contrary to the spirit
of the Republican Platform audllaycs' Civil
Servlco Reform ideas, but then It goes on
just tho name, and aptly Illustrates that
Grantisin will flourish under Hayea' what
ever professions may bo uiado to the con
trary. But Chandler and Cameron are not
scrupulous as to means. They know that
80,000 otlice-holders contributing un average
oi $25.00 each will produco for campaign
purposes $2,000,000. This is cuough to
bribe aud corrupt many men, the 7000 bay
onets South can control un indefinite num
ber of voters, and the 80,000 "bread and
butter brigade" will rally In full force.

THE MllilTAHY-l'OIilTICO CAM PAWN.
Towards tho closo of tho last session ot
Congress Mr. Lord, n Democrat from Now
York, offered tin following resolution,
ithlch was ndopted with but two dlfsentlng
votes !
"Jleolved. By tho House of Represcntn
Ives that all attempt by force, frntid, ter
ror, Intimidation or otlietwiso to prevent
tho free excrciso of tho right of suiTnigo In
Any state, should meet with certain condign
nd effectual punishment and thnt.lu any
case which has heretofore occurred, or that
may hereafter occur In which violence or
murder has been or shall borommlttcd,by one
racn or class upon tho other, prompt proso
cutlon aud punishment of tho criminal or
criminals, in any court hating jurisdiction, is
Imperatively demanded, whethof tho crime
bo ono imnishsblo by fine or Imprisonment
or one demanding tho penalty of death."
Th's was simply an affirmanco of the po
sition held by tho Democrats North and
3outh, nnd to show tho world our detesta
tion of fraud, csnuptlon, or Intimidation nt
tho polls. Tho resolution of tho Houso is
tho expression of nn opinion, nnd In no
wav alters or modifies cxlstinc laws. But
Grant saw In this n raro opportunity for
military strategy. Tho Sioux could go on
with their murderous campaign Terry nnd
Crook might meet tho falo of Custer but tho
ono hundred and thirty-clgnt companies of
United States troops, numbering 7,000 men,
rank aud file, must be kept In the South
for tho solo purpose of retaining tho negroes In
tho radical ranks, and intimidating tho white
voters. Grant orders this army to bo kept
In renditions, nnd to bo used nt tho time of
election in such manner as ho nud his sub
brdlnatca may direct.
Among tho causes get forth in tho Dec
laration of Independence for separation from
tho mother county, wero tho following:
"He has kept among us In times of peace,
standing armlos, without tho consent of our
(cgisltaure.'
"Hohas affected to render tho military
independent of, and superior to, the civ
il power."
If this was a crimo in 1770, why is it not
so in this, our Centennial year? Profound
pence exists in all our States, and this or
der of Grant's Is nn insult to our people. If
carried out it would show a despotism worse
than that which exists in Russia. By such
ft Venture Louis Napoleon controlled elec
tions, but Louis lost his crown in conse
quence, and France became a Republic.
Tho resolution of the House declares for
tho punishment ol those who interfere with
tho right or sulfrage, "in any court having
jurisdiction," aud in no way acknowledges
tho riirht of tho military to interfere. If
thoy cau do so in one State they can in an
other, and tho spectacle would be presented
to foreign nations, of our boasted Republic
being ruled by soldiers, and civil officers
tried by courts martial, where tho President
makes a tribunal to convict.
Wo call upon good citizens of all parties
to denounce this outrage, and iu thunder
tones announce to dictator Grant that we
-will as firmly guard the right of Bufl'rage,
and tho supremacy of the civil over the mil
itary power, as did our fathers a century
ago.
jusTso.
The desperation of the lladi cals Is shown
by the fallowing letter of Gen. Kilpatrick
now stumping Indiana, to Gov, Hayes, Re
publican candidate for President :
"Giund Hotel, Indianapolis, August
21. Dear Sir: I have just finished a tour
of tlx counties in Indiana, and feeling that
auy reliable information from this state will
interest yon, I write. In the first place the
canvass is well conducted, the people are
enthusiastic and determined, and tho old
war spirit thoroughly aroused ; and if it
were not for one thing we could rest certain
of victory In October. There is an indepen
dent party in this state, confined it is true,
to a few counties, but lormidable, and it
will defeat General Harrison. There is but
one way to overcomo this movement. The
leaders of the independent are poor, needy
and in debt, they must be lectured to, doc
uments be placed in tueir nanus, tuat tney
mav be convinced of their foil v. A Bloodv
Shirt campaign with money nnd Indiana is
safe; a financial campaign and no money,
aud we are beaten, ino national committee
has done nothing for Indiana alone they
are fighting their battlo aud bravely, but
unless the national committee wakes un and
does its duty to you, to tho party and to the
country, defeat is certain in October. I nev
er in all my life leltso certain I was doing
my duty as In this contest: and my desire
for success, my dear sir, is my only excuse
for writing you. Your iriend,
J. KILPATRICK.
"To R. B. Hayes, Governor," tc.
This is an admission of tho desperate con
dition of the Republican party in Indiana,
and that the only hope for their success is
'money;" and a vigorous waving of tho
"bloody Bhirt."
Gen. Frani Sigel, In a letter to tho New
York Sun, under date of August 8, says :

SOUTH CAROLINA1 DEMOCIIACY.
Although a dozen years havo elapsed since
tho close of the war, radical orators and
editors seek to keep alive the animosities of
the past. The Democrats North and South

comes to the front and unanimously adopts

Dr-nlli of Speaker Michael 0. Kerr.
It Is with feelings of profound sorrow Hint
wonnnounco tho death of Hon. Michael C.
Kerr, Speaker of tho National Houso of Rep
resentatives. Mr. Kerr was n natlvo of Pennsylvania,
having been bom in Tltusvlllo, Crawford
county, in 1827. ,
Ho took to tho study of law, nnd in 1851
graduated from tho University of Kentucky,
at Louisville. In 1852 ho located himself nt
Now Albany, Ind., where his Industry .ability
and genial deportment soon won for him tho
favorablo opinion of tho public. Ho at once
becamo prominent In his profession, nnd In
1850 was elected to tho Legislature, where,
by his votes nnd speeches, ho Increased the
favorablo Impression entertained of him by
his fellow citizens. Ho also nctcdns Dis
trict Attorney and Prosecuting Attorney of
the county in which ho resided. In 1802 he
was chosen Reporter of tho Supremo Court
of Indiana, edited with great ability five
volumes of the reports of that body. In
1802, ho was first elected to Congress, and
was re-elected In 1S00, '08, '70 nnd 71,
During his Congressional career, by his
honesty nnd fairness, devotion to tho princi
ples of tho party with which ho stood con
nected, ho entitled himself to tho respect
and confidence of his colleagues ol nil parties
as well as the wholo country.
In 1875 ho was elected Speaker of tho
House, after one of tho most exciting con
tests for that olllco on record, nnd ns long ns
his health permitted discharged his duties
to tho entire satisfaction of tho body over
which ho presided.
The dastardly attempt to blacken his upot
less reputation, was met by him In such a
maimer as to earn for" htm renewed admira
tion and respect. Ho Insisted upon having
tho whole matter probed to its deepest depths
and as wns to havo been expected came off
more than victor. Republican and Demo
crat alike joined in pronouncing n verdict of
honorable acquittal. Ho died nt Rockbridgo
Alum Springs on Saturday evening. An
enibalmcr was sent from Washington to the
Springs the samo night, and tho coffin was
forwarded, accompanied by Representatives
Sayler, Casey nud Young, and Col. Adams,
the Clerk of the Houso. Representative
Cox, of New York, was nlrcady nt the
Springs. The interment took place at New
Albany,Indiaua. Mr. Kerr is the first Speak
er who died while holding that office.
lluilding Associations.
Judge Wylte made n decision in the case
of Yates vs. the Eighth building associa
tion In tho equity court, on tho 10th tilt.,
which is very important In its effect upon
one of the principal sources of profit of these
associations. Tho point at issue is this:
Yates, who was n member of the said as
sociation, has mnde sundry defaults in tho
payment of his monthly dues, which amoun
ted to $40 per month, until he owed tl-o sum
of $200 iu dues. For these defaults, fines
amounting to about $1S1 had been imposed
upon Yates under tho regulations ol the as
sociations, and his property had been ad
vertised for sale under tho usual deed of
t.ust in consequence of said defaults. Yates
filed his bill to enjoin said sale, and an in
junction was granted by Judge Wylle. Tho
case was subsequently referred to tho audi
tor to state the amount due from Yates to
tho association. The auditor reported the
dues to be as above, and allowed tho fines
as levied under the rules of the association.
This allowance was excepted to by council
for Yates, and thus the legality of the whole
system of fines was directly put in issue.
After argument by counsel for Yates nud
for the association Judge Wylio refused to
allow any of -he fines, pronouncing them to
be absolutely illegal.
The Judgo said that he could seo nothing
in the nature of these building associations
to tnko the fines levied by them out of tho
operation of tho settled doctrines of equity,
that) where fines wero merely collateral to
tho performance of some, principal thing,
equi.y would relievo against them when tho
performance could y t bo made without in
jury to any party concerned. That in tho
case of thes0 associations tho fines were col
lateral to the payment of tho monthly dues
by members, and wero intended to insuro
prompt payment. If then, a member who
had made default, camo in and offered to
pay his dues with interest, tho court must
relievo him from tho fines unless tho asso
ciations could show actual datnago beyond
said interest resulting from default, nnd
even then relict would bo granted upon
compensation for said actual injury.
The Old Man ut Harrlsbarg
Tho warden of tho jnit at Pottsville testi
fied to tho following conversation with Kc
hoe, a somewhat prominent Schuylkill coun
ty Molly Maguire and Republican politician,
nojw on trial for attempted. murder:
ueorgo lieyerie, sworn 1 am tho warden
of the Schuylkill county jail ; I have spoken
to John Kchoo ; ouo time during the trial
of the Yost murderers ho asked me how I
thought it would go ; I said I thought it
would go pretty rough ; I offered no induce
ments or threats to him to make the, state
ments ho did.
By the defence I did not say there would
be any benefit accruo to him by makitig a
statement.
Re-direct He said ho was afraid it would
go rough with them nil, that they would not
get justice done, but if they did not, tho old
matt over at Harrisburg would not go back
on them ; it strikes mo that ho said, "Let
them crack tbelr whips, the old man at Har
risburg won't, or can't, go back on us."
Mr. Ryan asked that the evidence of Mr.
Beycrle be stricken from the record.
Mr. Gowan said it was only offered to af
fect Kchoe.
The Court took the matter into considera
tion. Judgo Walker said ho would not
strike It out now, but if lie should, ho would
give counsel an opportunity to bo heard
first.

THE CAMI'AKIN IN PENNSYLVANIA.
A correspondent of tho New York Dribune
of the 22nd Inst., has the following strict
ures on tho Pennsylvania Democracy :
Their organlrallon Is every wheto dofrcllvn
and their leadership shockingly bad. Tho
old chiefs who used to mako Pennsylvania
Democracy n rock upon which tho party
throughout tho Union felt It could build with
safety, nro mostly dead, and the few that nro
living lllgler, Vnlix, Wright, and ono or
two others are constantly made to feel that
tho reins hnvo passed Into other hands. A
new school of smart and tricky politicians,
often suspected of corrupt alliances with Re
publican rings, nud always looking to their
personal Interests rather than to thoso of tho
party throughout tho StAte, havo como to
tho front. In tho country districts tho Dem
ocrats, ns a body, are honest, faithful, nnd
persistent, nnd nlthnugh without much dash
or intelligence, they mako very sturdy nnd
trustworthy material forapo1llic.il organiza
tion, always going to tho polls ami always
voting a straight ticket. If Philadelphia
wero cut oir and annexed to New-Jersey,
Pennsylvania would bo tho most steadily
Democratic Slate in thoiiorth. With Phila
delphia it goes Republican with greater
regularity than nnv Slate nutsldo of New
England, except Michigan and Iowa. The
reason Is that tliu Democrats of tho city are
led by a lot of jackals who stibnist on tho
bones thrown to them by tho Republican
managers. Tho rank and file nro regularly
sold out, and nro too stupid to find for them
selves honest leaders, There is scarcely a
ward whero there arc not a scoro or more of
pretended Democrats, who nro loud and ac
tivo In primary meetings nnd conventions,
but whose real business In politics is to get
appointed judges of elections, and coiinlrc,
for n prico, of course, nt frauds upon tho
ballot. A part of tbo spoils of municipal
misrulo has for many years been given to
Democrats for services of this and otjicr
equally dishonorable kinds, until the party
in the city has becomo corrupt nnd demoral
ized through and through. Without n
thorough reorganization aud reform, such ns
there is no reason to hopo for, It will never
bo anything but a burden aud disgrace to the
country Democracy.
Much of this censuro Is justly deserved.
No doubt the writer correctly states tho con
dition of affairs in Philadelphia, a condition
equally discreditable to both parties. Out
side of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is clearly
and unmlstakenbly Democratic ; and even
with Philadelphia Included, with nu honest
yoto nnd an honest count, tho samo is true,
Philadelphia is wliero they voto "early and
often," nnd i( that does not give them
enough, they make up the balnnco ju the
"count," And this is effected us is clearly
implied by this correspondent, by tho Re
publicans through tho connivance and
treachery of professed Democrats, But these
evils are beyond our reach. Thero arc others
however, that we cuti remedy.
The writer says that our "organization is
everywhere defective." This is truo : and
this wo cau remedy. Thtro should bo no de
lay in perfecting n complete, compact, and
effective working organization, in every
County in tho State. Now is tho timo to do
this. Let us proceed in this county to or
ganize a "Tilden Reform Club"iu every elec
tion district and prepnro for immediate ef
fective work, O,

CROOK AND TUIUIV IV l'UUSUIT Ol' Tilt".
SIOUX.
St. Paul, Minn., August 23. A J'ioneer
Press special from Bismarck says : A white
scout, named Burke, hrs just arrived from
tho mouth of tho Rosebud with dispatches.
General Crook and Terry, after making a
junction and following up the main Indian
trail, left their wagons, tents, etc., nnd took
thirty-seven companies of cavalry and eight
of infantry and wero making forced marches
expecting to overtake the Indians beforo
they reached the Yollowstono river.
The night beforo last a large war party of
Sioux appeared at the oppositobauk of tho
rivor from Berthold agency and demanded
supplies. Upon being refused they opened
firo which lasted about fifteen minutes.
They then withdrew and struck south to
ward Fort Lincoln. A largo party of Black
Killers who left here for tho black hills a
fow days ago and who havo been unable to
break their camp, which is four miles from
Lincoln, owing to the heavy rains, wero at
tacked on Sunday night and lost seven hor
ses. Later dispatches just received from
tho commanding olllcers nt Standing Rock
say Indians from Sitting Bull's camp report
atcrriblo battle between Sitting Bull nnd
Terry nnd Crook's combined forces. The
Indians wero repulsed and havo scattered.
Terry and Crook, however, are reported as
having sustained quite as heavy losses as
tho Indians.
A Republican Opinion.
The New York Graphic is intensely Re
publican. It is working for Hayes nnd
Wheeler in prose, poetry, fact, fiction, folly
nnd pictures. Still, it lives iu a Stato where
Tilden worked wonders in reducing expen
ses and in reforming tho entire financial pol
icy of tlio Commonwealth. Tho Graphic
knows Tilden knows that ho is n man of
ability, of integrity nnd firmness. It knows
that Governor Tilden has a grand record
that tho more it is examined tho more tho
peoplo will admlro tho man. Knowing
tucjo things, tho Graphic talks to its party
as follows :
It would bo quito as well for the Republi
cans not to take too much stock In tho ro-
porta of some of their papers as to the un
popularity of Governor Tilden, tho dissatis
faction of his party with him, tlio dis-flcc-
tion between him and Governor Hendricks,
and similar yams spun out of tho wishes of
his opponents. It is easy to seo wonder
through a telescopo after tiles havo been
shut Into it. Somo of theso wonderful dis
coveries as to the strength nnd condition of
tho Democracy nnd tho iutontion of Gover
nor Tilden and relations with his party as
sociates are transparent ffauds, manufac
tured on purpose to gull whoever is nimplet
enough to belicvo such stufT. Tho fact If
that Governor Tilden is tho strongest can
didate tho Democrats could put into tho field,
and tho strongest they have nominated since
James Buchanan. Ho minds his own busi
ness, keeps his own counsel, seldom slops:
over, mnkbt fow mistakes, and has ns clear
and sharp nn oyo to seo what ought to bo
uono ns liny man In America,whlle in execu
tivo forco ho luis fow equals and no superior.
Ho doubtless knows ns well what he Is do
ing, and why he is doing it, und what lie
means to tlo next, as any editorial guessing
machine iu the couutry. Tho Democracy
mean Buceess, and are determined to wiu it
if they possibly can do so; and they uro.
too BlirewU to tpiarrel, too plucky to turn
tho white feathers, and to hungry to aban
don u chance bo longas tho game is insight..
And tho Republicans may as well make tin-
their miuds first as last that they have got
to ucat uy liarU work or bo beaten, und noth
ing short of the hardest sortot work and
tho greatest possible union and lmnuon-y
will prevent their being very hainisouiely
whipped. And Republican papers that re
port tho weakness of the Democracy wul
represent their uouilneo oh u man ol straw
that an ordinary whiff of -wind may blow
over, (how that thoy aro edited by asses whu
don't know what they are braying- about.
