The IlepubHcans of Cambria county
have always been very unfortunate. They
have not for many years secured the. elec
tion of a single candidate except one man
for Assembly, which cost the Republicans
and Detnociats $171, 000 exactly, as the
b os of the Into banking bonne of Ll.jd
& Co., in this place, fully attest. Demo
crat are not, therefore, so cheap as repie
fcetittd when it takes ?57,0A) a year to beat
them for one otSce alone.
But the decided success of the Democ
racy by large and increasing majoiities is
duo to something mora than the ad milted
purity of our people, (jtorge T. .Swank,
the immaculate editor of the Johnstown
Tribuuc, has contiibuted uo little to our
success in the past.
Oui ft iends and patrons have ou scvcial
occasions chidtd us for n;t adopting the
advice of W ahl.ington to t.!en. iraddok
on the eve of the fatal Hiaddock's Field
disaster, to "light tho enemy in his own
way." Our knowu aversion to jfrforntl
warfare has hitheito kejt u lotf from
replying to assaults on our best cit:zens ;
and this has perhaps encourage J the idea
that any falsehood agaiust our people could
bo made with impunity. The last weekly
issue of the Tribune, edited by the afore
said Geo. T. Swank, has satisfied u, how
ever, that our forbearance was misplaced.
It publishes an niticle that Mr. James,
tho comparatively model ate editor of tho
Herald, would never have admitted into
bis columns, in which are iterated, with
an air of truth, the vilest falsehoods against
a number of our best citizens. The article
alluded to is false in every particular
false in tho aggregate and in the detail.
Eut lest any man of any party in Cambria
county, reading only the Tribune, and not
knowing Swank, fchould believe what he
utters, we shall endeavor to show what
kind of a c eiture George T. Swank is.
Wh;l i the mnn lie slanders are all old citi
zens of Cambria county, most of them
born within its limits, bo is literally a
carpet-baggor in our midst. Reared in
tho purlieus of prostitution in the city of
New York, by ttome inscrutablo dispensa
tion of Divine Providence, lie wandered
back to Cambria county and got possession
of the Johnstown Tribune.
True to his nature, true to his instincts,
and true to tho misfortunes of an early
misspent life, he hates every man and every
woman with a bitter and unholy hate. He
hntos the world, and the woild isovon with
him, because the world hates him. lie is
unhealthy and miseiablo morally and jhy
irully. He cannot stand in the presence of
any one for fivo minutes at a timo without
an involuntary twitching of his lower ox
trcmitics. In short, without anything to
love worthy of love, be hat devoted big
miserable life to the demon of hate !
Of course such a man, and a paper edited
by such a aian, could not succeed without
extraneous help from some source. Know
ing this full well, Swank got himself ap
pointed clcik of tho Distiict Couit ; but
when an election for tho offico became
necessary, not daring to go 1m fore tho Re
publicans of his own ucighboil.ood, he
was forced to retire and make room for a
better man. Hut his venal paper had to
be supported for all that, and nothing
was left within his reach but tho Johns
town jtt-llice. Tine, Mr. Gettys, tho
then abloand competent jwist master, fctood
in his way. llo was a man without blem
ish and had left a leg on nno of the South
ern battle-fields for the Union cause. Rut
he must be removed or the Tribune must
die. Bo Goo. T. Swank robbed him of his ' nor by acclamat ion. If Gov. Seymour ac
place, and is now enabled by the taxes ; cepts, ns it is to bo hojied he will, New
paid by the people at large to abuse nion j York will bo spared fiom Motgan-ic rule
who are infinitely his siq-ciiois in every . for the next three years to come at least,
sense of the word. So mote it bo.
It is well enough to know, however, (hat r t -rr
this creature is merely t!ic poor, miserable Jrnc.R Pearson of Dauphin county lias
tool of one man in Johnstown and another t
man in Ebensburg. They both despise '
him, but be answers Iht ir present purposes, '.
and when they are done using him they

I . . . . , I .

1 to llis Ebensburg informer we have
'but little to say. We havo especially re-
framed fn.m any remaik offensive to ;
Thomas Davis, believing that between him j
and John Ryan, a man who is more than 1
i his equal in cveiy respect, the Democrats j

pimps to belie, the people of Cambria
J county, be will find it will only tend to .
laieelv inereaso Mr. Rvairs majority. In
stead, t licit-fore, of hifc-sing on his bounds
he had better call him off fiually and for-
ever. Geo. T, Swank has no tounty can- j
didate but Davis, as cveiy one know, and j
his slaudcis havo no other effect than to :
greatly damage him. j
We do not desire to pursue this unplens j
ant subject any further. Geo. T. Swank j
talks of whi-kcy drinking among Deriio J
crats. If we were malicious wo- should J
retort that in neaily if not all the "Hips of
tho said Swank to Ebensburg he has been '
"heavy laden" with whu-key, and that :iot
long since ho attempted to attend a Demo-
cratic convention in Miis place to take
notes, but was too drunk to pet to the Court !
House. This, however, would ba personal, j
We have not and do not desiro to attack
Republican candidates or Republican citi
zens, but when private individuals are
misrepresented and traduced by others, we
shall take care to inform our renders who
and w hat Ihe'iaduccrsare ; : nd if Geo. T.
Swank or his candidate suffer by it, they
should not forget that the discussion is of
their own seeking.
Thf. proposed pipe line from the oil re
gions to tho seaboard, of which a pretty
thorough understanding may be obtained
by perusing an article published in our lo
cal department this week, is being discussed
just now by some of our contemporaries,
several articles on tho subject having ap
peared in various Philadelphia, Pittsburgh
and Oil City papers, in which the right of
said Company to construct such a line and
to enter upon private property for that
purpose, as well as the financial condition
of the Company itself, has been brought
very prominently into question. It is
claimed by the w riters of these articles that
the projectors of this monster enterprise are
mere private speculators, who proposo w ith
boi row ed money alone to construct the line
and put it in complete working order an
allegation which seems to bo borne out by
the fact that a mortgage has been put upon
record in this county mortgaging the lino
and entire property of the Company before
they have a line or owu a doliai's worth of
property in tho county. We do not oumelf
express any opinion as to the charges made
against tho parties interested iu thisentcr
piise, but now that they are made, it will
bo well enough for our friends to go slo-w
iu the matter and not sign rights of way or
grant special privileges to any coiporation
uutil they fully understand their ow n rights
as well a8 tho Company's lights in the
premises. Far be it from us to say aught
against an enterprise that may ically be
woitliy of encouragement, but if I he state
ments of those opposed to tho movement
can Ihj relied on, I lie project w ill not only
piove of no benefit to the public, but will
iu reality work injury to the farms and
roads over which it is designed to pass.
Evcu the work of hauling and laying the
pipe, it is alleged, will be given lo experts
from the oil country, and scarcely a dollar
will be expended among our o-n people for
its construction. Once done it will employ
but few laborers, vrhile its successful work
ing will resul' in tho discharge of a large
number of men now employed uikmi the
various railroads throughout the country in
tho transportation of this great article of
commerce.
Next week we will endeavor to get at the
bottom facts in regaid to this pipe line
movement, and in the meautimo it will be
well enough for those who own the land
through which it is proposed to pass to
make sure that the enterprise w ill prove a
blessing and not a curse to themselves and
the public at largo before they confer the
right of way or grant any Special privileges
to tho Company in question. Wait, ay we
sign nothing until fully convinced that it
is all right.
Ex Governor Morgan the present Re
publican candidate for Governor of New
York, did nothing to suppress the Canal
jobs when he ocenpiod tho Gubernatorial
chair on former occasions, and for this ser

of the jobbers, presented bis name to tho
Republican convention for their support.

FACTS AND FIGVUKS KO It WOUK15C TKOrLE
TO CONSIDER.
It is the custom for Oriental monaiehs
on their accession to the sovereignty to dis
tribute lavish gifts among their peoples.
This year the Reimbiican officials esti
mated that the amount of money needed to
carry on the Government for toe year would
be C0;?,0fl0,02. 4S.
The Democratic House was inclined to
allow for this purpose l;J9.7;i2,343 42.
The Republican Senate demanded $158,
20O,5!lS Go.
Relieving that the sorely burdened tax
payers would prefer half a loaf to no bread,
the Demociatic House yielded so f:ir as to
let the appropriations be $14 .",71 0,074 05.
For the year 187G they had been $177,
f.G3,327 72.
This array of figures has little signifi
cance or interest for the average reader;
therefore the World will present them iu
another shaje.
Taking the population of the United
States to be 42,000,000 souls, we find that
In 1876 ech person in Iho enuntry
had to pay to support the Govern
ment, not including interest or re
demption of the lel,t 84 23
If Ilelknap, Chandler and Joteson
had had their way, each person
would have beensTtaxfd to carry on
the iiorerniueut 1177 4 H3J
If the Democrats had had llieir, way,
tlie cost ier head would have been
red need to 3 32
Belknap and ltoleson's pals in the
Senate thereupon remarket! : That's
let ting off the people too easy let's
make each ono pay . 77
And the House was compelled, unless
ir desired to be accused f blocking
the wlieelsTif legislation, finally to
agree to levy a tax per capita of 3 31
Now, if we take the average lalxuer, who
has a family of five, comprising himself,
his w ife and three children, it is apparent
that if the Republican Administration had
had its way he would have had to pay into
the National Treasury 24 which, as
Kuming his wages t.i be $1.50 a day, repre
sents alout sixteen days of hard labor.
Had the Democratic House been able to
command, as it will next ear, the co opera
tion of President Tiidtn and a Democratic
Senate, his share of the national taxation
would have Irxmi iflO.GUj, or eleven and a
half days labor
Even with all the drawbacks we have
enumerated, the burden on tho laborer's
family has been actually l educed this year
from $21.15 to ,5Ti. or 3.S74.
This amount may soeni small, but it rep
resents the Tabor of twenty-four woikitig
hours. To a million families the apparent
ly tiitling snuvof $3.50 in cash means how
much medicine for tins sick, what shoes and
clothing for the children, how much meat
and potatoes for all !
Ixt the laborer who, meanly elad and
pily fed, digs in the sewers, or delves in
the coal mines or works upon the railio.-td
tracks; tho clerk who toi'.s for sixteen
hours a day at a salary of ..'.) ;i week ; the
artisan who find no en id. .- n.eiit for eight
mouths in the year; the I'.irmer who puts
his life into the stuhhori .il and does not
wring theiefrom a living lot tho ieople
ponder this.
A DcmiiciMic Administration means
more money iu the pock -.. : warmer clothes
for the back ; better b-. i for the belly ;
shoes for the baby ; :i (!i.Ss for the
wifff ; less work for the hifband.
Had the Republicans hud their w-ny, tho
taxation per head in 1V'17 would have been
increased over that for 187fi by the sum of
cents, ot 14 A per cent.
Therefore.! elect Hayes and this is what
the head of the family of five will have to
pay for each year of his administration.
The Republican expenditures for 1876
was $21. IV
ForlS77 it was placed at $'4.17.
With Hayes and it Republican Congress
it will, therefore, be :
For 1H7S ?27.0
For IST'l ."1 t'

Eur 1881
Total ... SK7.5).' 1
On the other hand take the Democratic
estimate for four yen is. even if it is not
further reduced, and it foots up ftiiC.o.V
Let us bear, then, the conclusion of the
whole mailer. Despite 11 laws and enact
ments against bribery of voters, we say to
every head of the family: Yoto U,c Dem
ocracy into power and we will puy you di
rectly in four years 70.55 . Ho'w many
days' iroik ;s that? How many pairs of
shoes? How many yards of calico and
flannel? How many pounds of meat aud
loaves of bread ?
Rut about the figures we give to-day
there can be no quest ion. They show what
the Republicans wanted to do, what we
would fain have done, what wo have done
in the face of opposition. This is a "cam
paicn supplement" that tells. Let Demo
cratic paKM and peakcrs circulate it;
give it to the laborer, the median ic and the
farmer, and when next Novemler comes,
Mr. Hayes, figure-hewd of blat her. bribery
and bayonet-rule, will not have the odd fij)
votes in the Electoral College. N. Y.

An Opkn Letter to Gov. Hates.
Grand Hotel, New-pout, R. L, Aug. 23,
187G. Dearent Sir: I have just finished

information concerning them will greatly
interest you, I write you before those two
busy R's Dlaino and Rristow can see
you in proprmn peronit (a tittle Siwinisli
Latin 1 picked up in Chili).
The canvass is being very well conduct

oughly aroused, and blotdy shirts are fly

There is a large and intelligent Inde
pendent party in three 3:ates which must
be lectured to, and havo documents (of a
certain kir.d) given them to read aud to

folly. A bloody shirt campaign with
money, and Hayes will bo elected : a re
form campaign without money, aud you
are beaten !
Unless tho Republican national commit
tee, or honest Zch Chandler, wakes up,
and does its duty to you, to the pat ty and
the country by -'seeing" these men as they
have already done Brother C. Schtnz, our
cause is lost, and defeat is certain next
November.

Tite Republicans say that KilpaWck
wrote the famous Indiana letter, then
crumpled it up and threw it into a wasti?

Unfortunately for this theory, however, tho

What Tii.den Has Done Let Hates
Snow Something to Match It. Whn
Tildeu was installed Governor of New
York he set about, showing his Democratic
faith by his woiks. IIo refoinied the
management of the canals so that, while
for the previous ten years the canals had
cost the taxpayers over two and a half mil
lions annually on an average, in 1870 the
tax is nothing, while the canals were never
kept in better order. He reduced the State
tax about one-half the amount of the yeais
under the Republican Dix administration.

which we find in the Albany Asy-, and

Cincinnati Enquirer.
A Heaveni.t Phenomenon. The Ti
tusvilie Courier of Saturday tells this: A
very singular and uniccountable appear
ance of a magnificent star, of a brilliancy
exceeding any of the larger stars visible at
the time iu the horizon, wii-s witnexsed at
about nine o'clock last Wednesday. A
lady acquaintance observed a very beilliani
star, as it appeared to her, and in oidcr to
view and compare its brilliancy wiih oilier
stars that were visible at the time, shetook
a general observation of the strength of
light given out by the heavenly luminaries,
and took also a distinct observation upon
tho evening star which was then unite visi
ble, but was as indistinct in its brilliancy
relatively as the moon is to that of the sun.
There was a mellow haziness overspread
ing the atmospheie which hid in obscurity
the smaller stars whilo this object i scintil
lated with exubeiant fullness, und was so
pleasing to her mind that she becima de
termined to make a thorough investigation.
On closer inspection she discovered that it
was moveable and might be a comet, a
shooting star of extraordinary bi:Ht;;ncy, or
a meteor, or an i;;n- faitt-n, llumgh'this
latter could not be, because it was too high
in the atmospheie to have so near a lclaiion
to the earth.
All at once the scintillations became
greater, and a sudden shooting upwaid
took place, show ing in its flight st re-is i f
light and dai bnes. Then he scintillations
became greater and moi e riit incr. and ap
patently moved toward her. This excited
her mind as to whether she was to have a
heavenly visit or not ; Aether it would be
dangerous to remain in the position, ex
postd as the was to the open window. Sat
isfying herself and making all necessary
preparations fr her safety, to close the
window shutters, she waited in breathless
anxiety its approach.
Neaier and nearer it came, suddenly
Lopping slightly and bearing at an angle
toward the earth. She discovered it took
the form and appearance of a bird, with
wings extended, and Ihe scintillations be
came more distinct. Suddenly ft stopped
and retraced its movement in the direction
from whence it appeared to have come.
The brilliancy never waned from the fust
to the last, until finally it died from bight.

A Two Headed Child. A correspoud
enf of the Petaluma (Cal.) Argun says that
in the Red Woods, about twenty miles from
Petaluma, there lives a family who have a
female child, alnmt eight years old, which
has two well developod ami perfectly
formed heads and necks. According to
this corresp.Mtdont, from the neck down
ward, to all appearance, it is the body of
but ono child. The two heads aro cailod
Dollie and Ollie. Dollie has tich brown
hair, dark hazel eyes and is a brunette.
Ollie has a fair skin, an burs hair, and blue"
eyes. They can each converse w ith differ
ent persons on different subjects at the
same time, and are well informed aud in
telligent. The Allegheny Mail, a Republican news
paper makes, the following candid state
ment : "During a recent ttip through
about thirty counties in Iowa we met tho
leading Get mans of many townw, and being
desirous of ascertaining ihe political stand
ing of tho Germans in several localities, we
made frequent inquiries, and obtained from
the most reliable sources such representa
tions and calculat ions as to convince us that
tho great majority of them fully three
fourths are iu favor of Tilden and Hend
ricks. In some tow ns of 50 to 100 German
voters there could be found but one or two
at all in favor of tho Iiepublican candi
dates." TnE New Yoik Tribune, quoting from
the report of tho United States Treasiuy
made up from bokK kept by tho Routwel'l
pKieess, comes to the conclusion that "Ro
rmblican extravagance and misgovernment
nave cost the people somewhat less than 40
c'Vper capita about $17, fx0, 000 yearly."
If the Democratic government under Sam

enough saved to pay off tho national debt
