The Doinociacy of "Old Washington"
endowed Tildcn to the tunc of 226 majority.
Let her vo'ers not forget that on Tuesday
tiext Pennsylvania must be redeemed, and
that the only way to sccuie that result Is
for every Democrat to throw asido his busi
ness and go to tho election. Will not tho
Democrats of Washington go to work with
a will and by their votes assist in achiev
ing a glorious victory ?
There are over three thousand election
districts in the Slate anil if Jiee Democrats
i:i each district who would otherwise re
main at home can be induced to go to the.
election, it will add fifteen thousand rotes
to tho State ticket. This sbowj not only
the absolute duty of every Democrat going
to tho election himself, but of seeing that
hU Democratic! neighbor, if he is luketvarm
or indifferent, does not s ay at home. There
is no other way by which the State cau bo
redeemed.
Allegheny township, this county, gave
Tildcn a majority of 210, and her daughter.
Cleat Held, went Jiee better, giving a ma
jority of 24.j tho largest majority'giveu by
any township in the county. Each of these
districts can poll as large a vote as it did
last November, if the proper effort is made
to get the voters to the polls. At all events
they should both attempt to come as nearly
up to their splendid mij irities of Ins "rear
as it is iu the power of determined Demo
crats to do.
We Dever knew the Democrats of Car
roll township to falter, or disappoint their
friends, when they -jvcre asked to put forth
all their strength. Their three figures for
Tilden were 222 majority. Won't they try
r.ext Tuesday to give Tru:ikey, Schell and
Noyes 209 at least ? Tho voters are there
to do it, and all that is wanted is to com
mence work note and sco that they go to
the p ills. A victory is within our reach,
and it will bo worse than a crime if we fail
to grasp it.
m m- x-m
What will Chest township do next Tues
day? She rolled up a majority of 160 for
Tildcn, and we look to her sterling Democ
racy to do their whole duty now. When
Nathaniel Home was a Democrat and want
ed delegates to a county convention, he
found warm and devo:rd friends iu Chest,
and now that Nathaniel Homo is engaged in
the dirty woik of breaking down the Dem
ocratic party, he should be taught a lesson
by his former Democratic friends in that
township which he w ill never forget. No
man who strikes a blow at the Democratic
party ought to have any friends iu Chest.

RErrnf.HJAN editors charge Mr. Merri
moli, of North Carolina, with having in
troduced a bill in the United States Sen
ate to place confederate soldiers on the
peiioii lole. The charge is utterly un
founded. Mr. Merrimon's bill simply re

say that the veteiana of the war of 1812
ought not to receive their pensions, regard
less of their course during tho rebellion.
The political strength of Tammany Half
will be put to its severest test at the ele .
tion in New York city on Tuesday next,
AH Democratic nominations iu that Detnt -cratic
stronghold must have tho sanction of
Tamrrmiy Hall before they are regarded as
tegular. Such a tremendous power baa
been greatly abused, aud iu foiincr years
has caused widespread dissatisfaction in
the DennMiratic ranks, resulting on some
occasions iu open levolt against itg candi
dates. Such is tbe case now, and every
element of Democratic opposition to tho
iron rule of Tammany is uuitcd against its
favored candidates for city offices. The
Republican, being in a boilcss minority,
of course unite with the anti-Tammany De
mocracy to break down the machine, and
will deal it tbe most vigorous blows next
Tuesday. The same combination broke
down the supremacy of Tammany Hall at
tho clectiou two years "go, aud may sue-

A painful sense 01 paimca. unnruiw

Home's well known modesty and retiring i

able, having for its object the election of j national banking system annually swindles
delegates to the connty convention favora- j tj, p80pj0 out of about thirty millions of
ble to hi nomination as a candidate for the dollais. Here is the letter referred to
Legislature. Last week, however, he ap- rca(i ;t .

displayed an unlimited amount of cheek ou .
hi. part to ask tried and well known Dem- j
Arnt to vota for bim a an independent
j-. . r t .i -.- .. i ,i ,,
candidate for Prothonotary and by doing j
so repudiate the decision of tho county j
convention, and especially the acticn in the
convention of their own delegates. The
only conclusion at which a northern Dem
ocrat could arrive, judging him in the new
character he has assumed, is that his fbr-
mer loud professions of devotion to the j
Democratic party were secondary to his
inordinate and never to be satisfied craving
for office. When he stated to Democrats
iu Carroll and elsewhere that the election
rested between lnmself and Charley t
O'Donncll, he knew that the statement
was false, and that there is not a fifteen
years' old Democratic boy of average in
telligence in that or any other township
who don't know better, lie boasted con
fidently of the immense Democratic vote
he would receive iu the southern districts
of the county, and asserted, as he has al
ways done, that Jii name was all potent
with the Democracy of that section. He
purposely forgets that no Democratic can
didate from the southern part of the county
ever yet failed to receive the warm and
generous support of the Democracy of he
north, and that they have now a just claim
on the gratitude of southern Democrats
which the latter cannot and will not dis
honor. They will teach Mr. Home that
he does not hold them iu the hollow of bis
hand and that they will repay the debt of
political gratitude they owe to northern
Democrats for their long and unbroken
support of southern candidates for the
highest county offices.
Nathaniel Home has but one object :n
view, and that is the defeat of O'DonnelL,
who has always been his (Home's) warm
and steadfast friend. Charley O'Donnell
never opposes the regular nominations of a
county convention, and would never have
been a volunteer candidate against Home,
but would have rolled tip his sleeves for
him aud been found, as be is always fouud,
iu the thickest of (ho fight.
In addition to O'Donnell's long and well
known political devotion to Mr. Home, does
the latter forget that after the adjournment
of the lato county convention O'Donnell,
at hit (Home's) personal request, went to
the hotels in this place at which Mr.
Home's delegates had been entettatued,
and out of his owu pocket paid their bills,
as well as his (Home's) own bill? O'Don
nell is reaping the reward of his political
aud personal friendship for this model
Democrat and persistent office-seeker, who
now ungratefully attempts to avenge his
disappointed hopes iu the convention on a
man who never placedfa straw in his path.
Will the Democracy of Cambria tamely j
permit Nathaniel Home, after having
pledged himself to abide by the decision of
the county convention, to defy its authority
and treat its action with contempt? Will
they permit O'Donnell, fairly nominated
and fully competent, to be stricken down
and their party organization destroyed by
a chronic oftice-scekor ? If they commit so '
fatal a blunder they will cause a breach in
their party which will be most difficult to j
repair, and will have created a feeling o'
bitter sectional animosity which will re
quire years to remove. Let the Democracy
of the county remember on next Tuesday
that other candidates must be nominated
and other elections held in the future, and
being thus forewarned, let thciu be fore
armed. It study cannot 1ms necessary for ns to
make a lengthy appeal to Democrats to
vote for tho entire county ticket

General Terry and Colonel Lawrence,
composing tho commission to negotiate
with Sitting Bull for his return to this
country, had an interview with the re
nowned Sioux chief at Fort Walsh, iu
British Columbia, on tho 17th of October.
Col. McLeod, commander of the for, and
Maj . Walsh were present. Sitting Bull was
accompanied from his camp to tho fort by
several of the head men of his tribe. Gen.
Terry, through an interpreter, stated the
President's message to Sitting Bull and
promised him a full pardon for all past of
fences if he would return and conduct him
self peaceably in tho future, on a reserva
tion to be assigned him and bis tribe. Sit
ting Bull replied that for sixty years the
government of this country had oppressed
his people that it had robbed them of
their land and compelled them to take
refugo in Canada that the white people
were liars and thieves that he would not
believe anything they said, and that be bad
come to Canada to stay and Intended doing
so. This ended the conference aud soon
after the commissioners left for Fort Ben
toti on their return. During the coming
winter Sitting Bull and his Sioux will be
permitted to remain at their camp about
sixty miles from Fort Walsh. !t is not
likely that he will ever return to the United
States, or if ho does it will bo on the war
path.
The most important elections to take
place on next Tuesday are the following :
In Massachusetts, New Jersey, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, aud Virginia, a Governor and
Legislature will be elected ; in New York,
State officers, with the exception of Gov
ernor, aud Legislature, and in Pennsyl
vania, State officers. Elections will also be
held in a few other States, but only for
minor offices. The Democrats have strong
hopes of electing Gaston, their candidate
for Governor iu Massachusetts, and also of
i carrying Wisconsin. In New York the
election of the Dcmociatic ?tatc ticket is
not seriously questioned, the complexion of
the Legislature being the main feature in
the contest, as a United States Senator iu
placo of Mr. Conkling depends upon the re
sult. Iu New Jersey, tho only question is
as to tho majority General McClellau will
receive for Governor. It promises to be all
thatlm most ardent admirers could wish.
We make no confident predictions about
Pennsylvania, except to say that all the in
dications are that the Democratic State
ticket will bo successful, prodded that
Democrats everywhere will do their duty
by going to tho k11s. On that alone hangs
the icsult. In Minnesota tho Hcpublnaus
will elect their ticket, while in Virginia
there is no organized opposition to the
Democratic candidate for Governor.
