HE GBEAT RADICAL SYIMCffl!
THE NATION ROBBED OF MILLIONS !
Tax-Payers, Look at the Figures I
Steal upon Steal and Theft upon Theft!
The accounts of the Tost OCice Depart
ment s-how a balance unaccounted for of
NINETEEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS !
The accounts of the Treasury Dejiartmeiit
show a balance unaccounted for of over
TWO MILLIONS!
U. S. Treasuter Spinner fails to account
for bonds that have passed into his hands to
the amount cf TIIRKE MILLIONS !
By hoaruiiig J.o!d in the Treasury and
paying interest on bonds to an equal amount
the people lose more than SIX .MILLIONS
annually.
ONE MILLION of the people's money
was stolen by a government attache from
the wrecked 8teamer Golden Rule '
THREE MILLIONS missing on account
of sale of arms, vessels and muuitions of
war !
ONE MILLION missing on account of
sale of iron clads to Peru !
Upon bonds deposited by bankers to se
cure their issues the people pay an interest
of TWENTY MILLIONS, which uight be
saved by issuing greenbacks iu their stead !
V. L. lloiiGii, a paymaster at Washing
ton, has recently proven a defaulter to the
amount of HALF A MILLION TO A MIL
LION f dollars !
Bailey, a New Yuik revenue collector,
stole near ELEVEN HUNDRED THOU
SAND dollars and then raa away !
Recently Mr. Noeton, of the New York
Post Office, proved a defaulter to the amount
of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL
LARS, and other defalcations in the same
office exist.
A Kansas revenue collector recently stole
over A HUNDRED THOUSAND dollars,
and the Radical Senators fiom that. State
settld tho whole claim with the de partment
at Washington for eleven thousand!
The other dtfalcntions of revenue collec
tors amount to MILLIONS!
The Radical Postmaster at Atlanta, Geor
gia, has p.ist been detected iu a defalcation'
of THIRTY THOUSAND dollars.
Geo. O. Evans, State war claim aert of
Pennsylvania, has stolen THREE HUN
DRED THOUSAND dollars, as a compen
sation for cheating the Federal government
out of MILLIONS !
The Radical State Treasurer of Pennsyl
vania aunually cheats the pe- ple of the State
out of FIFTY TO A HUNDRED THOU
SAND dollars, interest Hpon the people's
money loaned to Banks!
The Radical "Syndicate" In Europe
charged the government over FIFTY MIL
LIONS for negotiating the recent loan, be
sides thousands spent by sending agents to
assist them !
While government officials in every direc
tion and every quarter are robbing the Na
tion, the Radical President idles his time
away at the Long Branch race course, and
his Secretaries are traveling the country
making pergonal speculation! and attend
ing to and corrupting politics!
Will not the people arouse themselves to
this vholesale ROBBERY and NEGLECT
OF DUTY! It will be seen that in every
department of the State and National gov
ernments, robbetie3 en the graudest scale are
being committed, while none of the princi
pal officers are attending to their duties !
Will the people submit to this"?
Did ever before a President and Cabinet
so palpably neglect their duties ? Were
there ever such robberies?
People cry out HARD TIMES they
groan under OPPRESSIVE TAXATION
every article they eat, or drink, or wear,
and every pursuit they follow, is HEAVILY
TAXED TAXATION stares them in the
face at every turn yet the highest efficers
in the land, receiving extravagant salaries,
neglect their business to revel at sea-shore
watering places, patronizing horse races and
atteudirig to personal interests and gratifica
tions, while the subordinates are ROBBING
TH K PEOPLE BY THE MILLION !
Whila all this is going on the Radical
CONGRESS is voting away the public lands
by thousands and ter.3 of thousands of acres
by whole townships, anJ counties, and
sections nearly every Radical Congressman
grows rich as the result of these votes to
swindle the people the land is 6l!ed with
SHODDY ARISTOCRATS the people are
oppressed and beggared and poverty grinds
thousands into the dust !
The elective franchise is disgraced and
corrupted, the baliot-box is polluted and
governed by the bayonet the rights of peo
ple and of States are outraged, dtCed and
set at naught immorality and crime per
vade the land as the direct result of Radical
rule honest men are harrasstd and crimi
nals escape justice when our. Courts con
vict scoundrels of riot, stuffing ballot-boxes
and altering election returns, the criminals
are pardoued in short, evety outrage that
can.be practised upon a free people is being
petpetrated, yet thousand are induced by
party asssociatiou to sustain this abomina
ble state of affairs !
It is the duty of every man who loves hia
country to make all the effort in his power
to stay this tide of corruption and wrong
doing. The BALLOT BOX is the place to
correct all these evils. Although BRIBERY
is doing its work to sow discard in the ranks
of thus who attack aud attempt to defeat
the outrages we have enumerated, the hon
est people are arousing with a determination
to THROTTLE THE MONSTER, and this
effort will be continued until the work is ac
complished. LET ALL PREPARE FOR
THE STRUGGLE. FOR IT IS AT HAND !

No Audit. The accounts of Hodge, tbe
four hundred aud fifty thousand dollar de
faulter, had not been audited since 1866!
his was not the only door opened to specu
lation. The accouuts of Evans were never
audited nor examined from tbe time of his
appointment till Dtputy Attorney General
M'Clute examined and found them wanting
something like four hundred thousaud dol
lars. The punishment inflicted upon Mr.
M'Ciure for makiug tho discovery will no
doubt hereafter prevent investigation into
tho conduct of any Radical official.
TItZu UVST CASH IDA I K
Among the most important tf tho duties
which will devolve upon the voters who re
side within the limits of the twenty-fourth
Judicial District will be tho selection of a
suitable person to preside over the delibera
tions of the several courts of the District.
In deciding this important question every
elector should divest himself c-f partisan
prejudices and resolve that his suffrage
should be "given to that candidate who pos
sesses the ripest experience and the amplest
qualifications for the office. Tho intelligent
citizen should support no candidate for this
t Dice simply because he is a Republican or
a Democrat. If the Democratic party or
tho Republican party nominate an incapa
ble man, the people should not ratify such a
selection. If. on the contrary, both candi
dates possess the requisite legal knowledge,
voters should endeavor to ascertain which is
likely to prove the lest judge.
There are cow before the people three
judicial candidates. Judge Taylor, independ
ent. John Dean, Republican and Thaddcus
Banks Democrat. Against the qualifica
tions of Judge Taylor we have not a word
to say. He can well afford to look with just
pride upon his judicial career, extending
over more than a score of years, and when
he retires to private life will do so with the
confidence of the people. Mr. Dean is a
gentleman (f resectable attainments, and
would doubtless be able to perfrm the du
ties of the effiee, but he is not the best can
didate. We are firmly convinced that the Demo
cratic nominee is in every way better quali
fied than either of his competitors, as two or
three reasons will sufficiently show. And
just here we desire to say that if Mr. Dean's
friends can give any reason in favor of his
election other than that he is a Republican,
we shou'd ha pleased to hear it.
Mr. Banks is the better candidate because
he has had more experience than Mr. Dt-an.
While the former has bt-en practicing before
the bar of the District for thirty years, the
latter has only been in practice some fifteen
years. It must be evident to any reasoning
mind that he who has had a legal c xperie nee
of thirty 3-ears duration is much better qual
ified to preside over tl-.e sessions of a court of
justice than he whc.se experience is only half
so great. In the very beginning Mr. B:mks
to.k a prominent rank in his chosen pre fes
biuu, and to-eiay no one in the DieWict is his
superior in all the elements of true success,
llis large experience, his long continued and
uniformly successful practice, render him
eminently we.rthy ef popular support.
Again, Mr. Banks has been engaged in
many itnportaut casts before the Supreme
Court of this G.-mmonwealth. while, if we
are correctly informed, Mr. Dean has never
yet tried a case be-fore that body. Now, j
why should those who are interested in plac
ing upon the Judicial bench that candidate
whose experience before the Supreme and j
District courts would seem to render 1 im !
especially competent for the position, hesi- I
tate lor a nngle moment between Mr. Dean
and Mr. Banks. Between tho two there
can be no comparison.
But votets should not only examine the
legal qualifications of Judicial caudidates,
they should also inquire into the habits of
thought, methods of reasoning, mental or
ganization and temperament as well. There
are some men so constituted that it is sim
ply impossible for them to divest their miuds
of prejudice. Such are evidently unfitted
for judicial statiou. Aud while we do not
mean to intimate that Mr. Dean is such an
inveterate partisan that it would be impossi
ble for him to keep from swerving from one j
side or another of a disputed question, yet I
we do affirm that Mr. Banks would make
much the safest Judge. In this opinion we i
believe neatly eveiy one who is personally j
acquainted with the two gentlemen will coin
cide. Mr. Banks is one of the most cool, dispas
sionate men with whom it is a sort of a sec
ond nature to look at all sides of a question
before farming an opinion as to its merits.
And notwithstanding the charges which
have been made against him by the Radical
journals, he is not a politician, in the proper
acceptation of that term. He is not a parti
san as all who know him will agree. Po
litical prejudice never obscures bin under
standing anel it must be a very bad man
indeed for whom be has not a good word.
"We venture the assertion that Mr. Banks
would deprecate and oppose any attacks
upon the character or standing of his oppo
nent, and this, tew, in spite of the uuhand
BOtne manner in which he has been treated
by the partisans of Mr. Dean.
Mr. Duan is a man of quick passions and
strong prejudices. He is a successful advo
cate, but could not be a strictly impartial
judge. He is not long in making up hie
mind, acd upon subjects where his preju
dices are concerned his mind is already made
up. As a party man, an advocate of Radi
calism, an organizer and a leader, we admit
that Mr. Dean has few superiors in the Dis
trict. But the very fact that he is an active,
zealous and unreasoning partisan should
convince the people) that he is not the man
to fill the office of President Judge, His ag
gressive character, stubborn prejudices and
decided partisanism are so many insupera
ble obstacles iu tho way of his Judicial fair
ness. We have thus endeavored to show the
people of this Judicial District that their in
terests will be best subserved by the election
of Hon. Thaddeus Banks to the Tn sident
Judgeship. We have endeavored to do so
temperately and justly. That Mr. Dean is
not the best candidate must be evident to all
who carefully scan the merits of the two
candidates. That Mr. Dean's chances for
success will be Lettered by ribald abuse of
Mr. Banks is more than doubtful. The very
fact that his friends are obliged to resort to
such questionable means shows that in the
domain of argument and reason they cannot
successfully compete. Hollidaysburg Stand

The editor of tbo Philadelphia Sunday
Times interviewed Nicholson. Chief Clerk of
the State Treasurer, as follows :
He ele.es not look like a good subjt?ct for
an interview. Ha is a regular old fogy, and
won't learn that things have changed since
he was a boy, nearly a century ago. llis
words are few and carefully rdered, aud the
modem term of irregularities" in finance he
either can't or won't comprehend. He in
sists that theft and fraud and swiudliug are
good enough terms to express his views and
he slicks to them. I modestly ventureJ a
few intertogatories, with the following re
sult :
Reporter. I learn that there is some ir
regularity about the accounts f Mr. Evans,
Special State Agent. Is it so ?
Nicholson. No irregularity whatever
The account is all straight, but he has stolen
about $300,000 Trom the State Treasury.
Reporter. Does not Mr. Evans make an
explanation that relieves him of a deliberate
intention to defi aud 1
Nicholson. Yes. he adds lieing to thiev
ing. and calls that a defense.
Reporter. Cannot the matter be properly
adjusted and settled?
Nicholson. Yes, it can he settled, either
in this office or in the penitentiary. Both
are State accounting institutions.
Reporter. Can you give me any addition
al information on the subject 1
Nicholson. Nj, and I would thank you
to go about your business.

mark that ho was not particularly desirous
to discuss the subject any farther, and I act

There- is ens peculiarity of Democratic his
tory that is worth bearing in mind, now
that the rascally thefts and shortcomings of
Radical officials are daily coming to the sur
face. Go back far as we mi.y on the record,
through vioissitU'les rf momentous and start
ling aspect, when the country was most
sorely tried and the resources tf her states
manship most severely tested, and we will
find the Democracy, as a partj-, guiltless f
public speculation and strangers to waste-,
fulness e f appropriations.
Wherever au individual, here .or there
holiling office under a past Democratic ad
ministration, has been suspected of the mis
use or embezzlement of funds, be has be-;i
promptly arraigned and held to answer f-r
his misdemeanor. Ihere has been no li'ir -gling
with theft, dilly-dallying over frau !.
:;er compromise with robbery. With sn.-'i
faults as may be justly attributed to i'.o
Democratic party, it can nt least be said f
it, that it never used the advantage of iM
power to betray the confi lenco of the tx
payers, and never absented to stealings fp-t-i
tho public treasury under any pretence
These are facts worth remembeting wl " u
our adversaries ste-k to drown out all otb '
considerations with the warciy if trca i
and di. -loyalty, j i-t as if defalcations, p' I
rr.bbery, and wholes lie spoliation were, by
comparison, virtues that ought to be canon
ized. It is to be recollected ef the last three 1
ministrations, as capable of clear substar.n
tion, that many millions of dollars that o- -ginally
c.wie from the pockets of the pe-.pl -,
have been stolen by the officers, or under tho
connivance ef th-j government, and not v
tingle dollar f re-t-titution has been receiv. I

how small a sum, was held rigidly to ac

The framei-s of the Constitution had in view
the evils that had attended elective mon
archy in Polaud. Foreign princes were ti e
competitors, and their intrigues and contents
did much for the dest-uction of that unhappy
kingdom. It was thought not improbable
that Encland. France, aud Spain, all th" u
.holding large possessions and powerful Influ
ence in Amenca, might furnish candidate a
for the chief office in the United States. This
elanser, if it really existed, has entirely van
ished. In Greet al Jackson's time, we rr
mernber, it was alleged that he had been born
before his parents left li eland ; but the bet-
ter opinion is that he was born in North or
South Carolina. It really ought to make no
difference which of these three places Lei
was born in; yet, had it been in tho iU
Country, he would have been iueligibl.? to
the Presidency. Such a disci imination is
unnecessary row in the Constitution, ai d
