Fellow Democrats : The time will soon arrive when you will again be called upon to exercise that great privilege or right of every American citizen, by recording your ballot, to decide the great question now before the people of this State, viz.: Shall the present corrupt system be continued by a set of men who have brought disgrace to the Common wealth, or shall we elect men who are known to be honest and upright in the discharge of their duties ? It is of vital importance, not only to the Democratic party, but to the citizens of this State. It is not a fight for Free Trade or Protection; it is a fight for hon government, for honest methods and for honest administration of.the affairs of this great Common wealth. You are also called upon to give your decision for or against a Constitutional Convention in Pennsyl vania. It is a subject that deserves your earnest consideration so that you may vote with intelligence on so im portant a subject. The Democracy has a chance to win this year, if Democrats do their duty; therefore, let me urge you to make every effort in your district to get out the vote, let none stay at home, and I believe that success will crown our effort and that we shall win a great victory. Jso. R. Townsend, County Chairman. THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. The message which Governor Tatti son sent to the State Senate, convened in extraordinary session, is remark able, most of all, for the grave matters which are the subject of it, remarkable for the circumstances which demanded it, and remarkable for the clearness, directness and forcibleness with which it presents the evidence which has been with such careful, sagacious judgment and judicial skill gathered and com pressed into an indictment as notable for its comprehensiveress as for its overwhelming array of inculpating facts circumstances and documents. It should have been, under our laws, im possible for the Chief Magistrate of the State to frame such an indictment; the circumstances demanding it should have been similarly impossible of re alization, and it should have been im possible for the Governor, or for any one, to arraign with such conciseness and directness any public servants who were elected to high position of trust and responsibility by the deliberately exercised will of the people, But the indictment has been had to be framed, as the circumstances fully warranted it, and the arraignment of the Auditor General and State Treas urer had, to be made, in view of the mass of testimony produced which rendered the making of it an impera tive duty. There is little in the matter of Gov ernor Pattison's message which is ab solutely new; it is the masterful, honest, fearless manner of the refor mulation, the grouping, the placing in natural sequence, the binding together as a whole of old matters, unfortunately familiar enough to the public through the published proceedings of investi gation bodies; which makes it of such great and common interest, and which gives it character, dignity and impres siveness. Through every paragraph of it there shines clearly as truth itself the light of a high official duty done, of public spirited purpose fulfilled. If this message served no other purpose than that, which it so admira bly serve., of carrying coviction to every intelligent, unprejudiced reader of it of the unquestionable propriety, of the imperative obligation which Governor Pattison owed to himself, his fellow citizens and the law to call the Senate to meet in extraordinary session to in quire into the "grave charges" so com monly made against the Auditor Gen eral and the State Treasurer, to the end that their innocence or guilt might be established, its author would still be more than justified in formulat ing and presenting it to the public through the Senate. Whether or not it is conclusive of the guilt, incompetency or errors of any one is for the Senate alone, to which body it is addressed, to declare, but that it gives "reasonable cause" for an exhaustive inquiry of the subject matters of it may be authoritatively de clared by any one who has eyes to read ind mind to form a just opinion. The ncssage cuts the last bit of stable jound from under the feet of those 'ho stated or insinuated that Governor 'attison had been actuated by the wisest partisan motive in calling the ienate to meet in extraordinary ses sion ; it not only does that, but it covers with shame tl ose who so im pugned his purposes. Governor Patti son needs no testimonials to sustain his character for invincible personal or official integrity, for purity of motive in his public or private acts, for high courage and fidelity to duty. If he did need them, they would be found in his call to the Senate and in the message which he recently sent to it. It is a message which concerns the whole body of the people of this Com monwealth and city not less than the Senate that is to pats upon it. Phila delphia Ledger.

Democratic Opportunity in Pennsylvania The Democrats of Pennsylvania have a glorious opportunity . this fall to secure the State and redeem it from Radical misrule, which under the guise of protection (rather the disguise for robbery) has for many years held the people in thraldom, which has increas ed until the power of Monopoly has quite outridden the will of the people. The taxation of the people has been so unjust that although largely Repub lican, on two occasions the honest and brave Robert Pattison has been chosen Governor. The farmers in the Grange in Pennsylvania have led the revolt against corporate rule, and have been the means of educating the people as to the need of tax reform. The able management of the pres ent campaign is due principally to the indefatigable wo-k of Hon. James Kerr, who is booked for the clerkship of the next House of Representatives. Mr. Kerr is one of these untiring workers who knows no such word as fail, and the outlook at present is most encouraging for the Democrats but there is no chance for letting up in the work, and every honest re former must do his whole duty to se cure victory in November. The Democrats of Pennsylvania have been handicapped by the H'ana maker Quay school of patriots whose every idea was the G O. P., and the dollars they could secure for their own use and that of their friends and clackers. It is a disinterested kind of patriot ism that leads men to give money to buy votes and control elections, and accept in return high official positions and neglect their Sunday schools. The Pennsylvania farmers are open ing their eyes and begin to realize that they have been paying the piper while the monopolists have been dancing. The school master has been abroad in the land, and these people like their fellow agriculturists in the South and West are feeling the yoke of monopoly that is bearing them to the ground. There is little doubt that the time is at hand when they will throw off the oppression of their taxmasters and re deem thmeselves, and bring the old Keystone Stae into full line with the Democratic party to which it so long was faithful. No more important issues were ever presented to the people of Penn sylvania than those of the present cam paign. The honor of the State is at stake, and all men who love honest government and hate corruption in official places, should vote against the men and methods that made it possi ble for the Bardsleys to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars from the State, and the city of Philadelphia. There is no question of tariff in this election, national affairs do not enter into it. It ought not to be necessary to call out the brass bands and hold public meetings in every school house, in order to get out a full vote. State pride and a love of honest govern ment should arouse enthusiasm enough in every voter to go to the polls on November 3rd and vote for Wright and Tilden. Columbia county is honored in hav ing a Representative like Hon. E. M. Tewksbury, He is now stumping the State with the Democratic Candidates Wright and Tilden, at the invitation of the State Chaii man. On Monday he spoke at Chambersburg, in the af ternoon and Carlisle in the evening. From thre he went to Lancaster county with Wright, Tilden, and Dew-in. He reports the prospects for Democratic success as good. People throughout the State are becoming aroused to the situation, and they pro pose to vindicate the honor of Penn sylvania by wresting her financial de partments from the hands of public plunderers. I have been a great sufferer from dry catarrh for many years, and I tried many remedies, but none did me so much benefit as Ely's Cream Balm. It completely cured me. M. J. Lally, 39 Woodward Ave., Boston Highlands, Mass. After using Ely's Cream Balm two months I was surprised to find that the right nostril, which was closed for over twenty yearss was open and free as the other, and can use it now as I could not do for many years.

For some time past the county cor-' respondence of the Sentinel and Col umbian has been running to poetry, and to seed, and in order to be in the swim the ATew Item hired a long haired, red-nosed tramp printer, who claimed to be a blood relative of Ralph Waldo Emcison, and chawed "Miners' Extra," to edit a poetrv de partment that was intended to knock the t'entintl and Columbian poets silly. A corner of the sanctum was given him and he went to work. When we returned from Court Thursday evening, where with the aid friend Scarlet, of Danville, we had been advertising the New$ Item, we found the poet delivering a temper ance lecture to the compositors, and the following his first effort, on the hook : "In the swailing swirl of the sough ful wind, as the gust goes glooring by, I sit by the bole of the baneful borch, with a mourn and a soulful sigh.

The elections in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa are being sharply contested with the probability of the democrats being victorious in all of them. In New York and Ohio the battle is fierce, and the winning party will have but a small majority.
