Timely Advice ,
on Fall Clothes.
You are thinking of your
clothinrr for fall : what it shall
be; how and where you shall
get it.
Comh and See us. j
Come and see in, or drop !
lis a line, saying what you j
want, as near as you can. If
you are here, you can see for
yourself a great variety of !
things, try on what you like, j
and go home with the old j
clothes in a bundle. That is .
very easy ; and nothing can !
be more satisfactory.
Not a Strang: Place. j
It isn't as if you were go- i
ing to a strange place. The
chances are you've been here '.
before, and know something
of our wavs. Perhaps vofir
neighl)or has been here ; and
has told you it was a good
place to go to. Perhaps
you've only read that we
sell a good many clothes,
and say to people who buy
them : Bring them back if
you don't find them every
way to your liking.
Now this is really why we
are not strangers to any
body: because we deal with
everybody as with a neigh
bor ; and expect him to come
right back if he has cause of
complaint.
Ii vol Don't Come.
Hut. suppose you don't
come. How .ire we going
to sell you just what you
want to buy, without your
seeing things beforehand?
Try : write ; say about how
much you want to pay for a
business suit, dress suit, over
coat, or whatever you want ;
say what your occupation is;
say anything that has any

THE HON. RICHARD O'OORMAN EXrOSIXG
ITS tH-ANDALS AM) IMSHON'EST DEEDS.
At a recent Democratic meeting in Brook
lyn, N. Y non Richard O'Gorman address
ed an iinmerrse audience as follows :
"It is many years since my home was in
Brooklyn, but it seems to me, when I see arrd
feel your -welcome, that I am back in my old
home ami among my old friends. I have
heard it s-Mggested by some gentlemen if dis
tinction that the stra'in and jar of these Pres

lic. 1 do not think so. These ocicasion
serve to remind the people that Tliey arc
inastsrs and that parties are their -servants.
For the most part the people have little in
dwwe upon the government of this country
except every four years, when becomes
tlwr- duty t5 choose, the party awl the rep
resentatives to control tlic-tr -affairs. No
king in the world has so much patronago to
dispose of ai the lresident of the United
States. He has, directiy or -indirectly, the
choice of about 150,000 ofli'v-holders, and
therir influence is imtoen-'e. Hence the
-choice of the President is the choice of a
party that must have nearly supreme control
of the country for at leartfour years. Henco
the Presidential election -rs most important.
Wc want now peace, repose and reconcilia
tion, and w e want a President who represents
all Interests, all races aid all sections of this
country. The very fart that a party has had
control" of this country for twenty years is of
itself dangerous, awl sufficient "to warrant
the peonle in desiring a change. A party
long in power soon becomes selfish, intent
rather on securing rH own continuance than
in serving the notin. The members of that
party soon iiegm to iook upon power as a i
sort or trancluse, ttieir s by right divine, or, i
! as the monarch i of Europe say, 'by the ! clear field and a fair fight, and truth and

promised forty acres of land and never saw ',
the much-promised mule. So the South
i ceased to lie so solid. Then another expedi
! cut wns adopted. Soldiers were sent down !
; to brenk up Legislatures."
Mr. O'Gorman then read Ihe public pro- ;
; test against this invasion of the rights of lib- j
; erty, made by prominent citizens of New
York, upon the !ispersing hy military force
' of the Iegislature of New Orleans. The
j jirotest was nigned by William Cullcn Bry
i ant, William E. Dodge, W. M. Evarts and
; Whitelaw Reid.
j "It is strange that these distinguished gvn-
' tlemen, whv, :. M74, thus denoui.ced the
Republican p.fy as having invaded tle
ritrl.ts of men are now asking the continuing
of the same party in power. Then cjorx the

those hard times, w hen there was noeninloy-
, incut fur labor and no field for capital.
"The Presidential eleetion of lS7tj came
on. The Democratic candidate was elected
by a large n.ajorily, Samuel J. Tiiden, attd a
m:in who was never elected to the t.lace was
put there. James Garfield, Ihe chief trans
gressor in this transaction, is now the candi
date for that same plnce of the RepubliV-an
party, and you are asked to forgive this of
fence and to reward the offender with tlie
highest position in the gift of the people. I
confess that it once seemed to me that the
popular feeling was languid and inert in face
I of this insult to the sovereignty of the people,
. but I was mistaken. The instinctive sfates
; nianship of the people was wise. They con
cluded to wait lor four years to redress this
wrong. Now the hour "has struck, the time
has come, and on November 2 next the sov
ereignty of the people will be asserted."
Applause.
1 The Democrat in Congress, Mr. O'Gor
man said, reduced the Federal expenses
?lo,ooo,i0o a year. Contrast this with Re
publican extravagance. Gov. Cornell has
increased in one year the expense of New
York State cl,.roti.000, the expenses of New
Yolk City SotMi.ooo, and of Brooklyn? 147,000.
He also referred to the charge made by Sen
ator Daisof West Virginia that there was
a discrepancy of ?.ton,ooo,0oo jn the Ixioks of
Ihe Treasury Department which could not
be ex plained. He also refcrrfd to the charge
that the effects of dead soldiers in the War
Department have been actually stol.m from

' planation h.s been made.
In response to loud calls for a speech. Gen.
Roger A. Pryor said that he would not dare
to alter the impression necessarily made by
j Mr. O'Gorman's eloquence, but promised a
speech the following week.

HlCKSVILTE, DEFIAVCF. CO.. O.,
October 18, 10.
To the Demoercttir: .Staff Centra? Commtffee of
Pennsylvania :
Our Democratic friends in Pennsylvania
and elsewhere at the East need not be at all
alarmed or discouraged about the result of
the late election lu Indiana. I live close to
the Indiana line, and know what is going on
In that State. Our friends there are not In
the least discouraged. It Is true they have
leen disappointed. But tlicv are now thor
oughly aroused. They are cliafed .partly bv
a consciousness of their own mistaks,"and
partly by the gross misrepresentations and
corrupt mean hy which their opponent car
ried the electirto. The average majoritvof
the Hepublicans did not exceed 3,000. This
our friends will -wipe, out in November with
a large margin to spare. From the ( hio
river to Lak Michigan they are animated by
one determination, and that is to profit by
their own mistakes, to recover lost ground,
and to redeem the State. And, mark my
words, they will do it.
The object of the constitutional amend
ments m to abolish the October election,
and they were carried by a large majority of
the votes cast. Th action of tbe Supreme
Court, by which the amendments were, on
tci hnp-al grounds, nullified, was a mistake.
It left Indiana an October State. This ena
bled the Republican party of the whole
Unison to concentrate their vast resources of
men and money in Indiana, and they ex
pended not less "than a million of dollars to j
carrv the State. This iram cannot be re
wated in Novemlicr. there will then lie a
Our friends in Indiana relic! w-irli too I

their organization was verv defective.
while that of their opponents was porfeet
and complete. Seeing this, our friends have '
gone to work and made their organization i
thorough and searching. They will have a :
committee of reliable men for every square j
in every town and city, and for every inhab- i
ited square niiie. They w ill -scour the lists
to find illegal voters ir'the rural districts of
the State. They will personally visit and
repson with every doubtful voter and every
man of Democratic antecedents. They will
thus in a quiet, but effective way, remove
all false impressions, and explode the mons
trous falsehoods by which these impressions
were created. Indiana is still a Democratic
State ; and the result in November will
prove it. Look out for the victorious result :
of the most searching and effective, still ;
hunt that ever occurred in our political his- j
torv. j
Those Green! i.ickors. amounting to several
th.o.tsani', who stood up for the integrity of
their own organization, their own party
ticket, while the rest deserted them, are
justly indignant. They feel that they have
Wen sold out, duped and cheated. They are
swearing vengeance. They have come to
the conclusion t!..t they eaii but obtain it by
acting with the Democrats in Novemoc,-, and
voting for H.ineH-k. Under any circum
stances Hancock is (-tronrer in Indiana hy
sever.il thousand votes than the State ticket
w as.
As a native of Pennsylvania, I look for
ward witii almost painful interest to the re
sult in that Slate. 1 am ail the time asking
myself iiie question . will she tamely soleeit
to the continued ru!e ol ttic vampires, w h--s
motto is "addition, division ai.d silence."
who have bioticht disgrace upon her charac
ter, and have subjected her to the scorn and
contempt of honorable men ? Or is there
still enough of State pride left among her
citizens to st.tnd up for fine of i lie noblest of
her own sons, tlie hero whose cour ige and
patriotism saved her in the h ur of her trib
ulation anil trial, and whose principles, as
publicly proved, are all in accordance with
the interests of her people?
As to my predictions In reg trd to Indiana,
I may possibly deceive tnyseif. Rut my old
friends in Pennsylvania know 1 would not
willingly deceive others.
Yours trii'v,
Benm. Patton.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN J
"Protection forborne industry" is a new
cry, got up at the eleventh hour of the cam
paign, to take tlie place of the "solid south"
and "rebel brigadier" howl of which ihe peo
ple had Iwgun to get tired.
It whs not thought of fouryearsago. when
Tildeti ran on a revenue tariff platform ; eor
eight eight years ago.wheii the da tig -r. if any
there be, to our home industries, wa, presum
ably as great as it is now.
It was not heard during the 'iard times of
ls7;l-7H, when our industries were act ual y in
danger and suffering ; when mills and shops
were shut and working men were idle and
starving, all tinder a Republican tariff and
under Repuhliean "protection."
It was never heard or thought of. in fact,
till now, when the country is once mure pros
perous ; w hen American industry, with some
few exceptions, is thriving, and when fi.e
American people are in less dauber that, ever
before in their history of going down in the
world's battle.
What then does this cry of "protection to
"0",e '-" "'. " ' ."..e.i,v staneu
! and with no visible occasion .' We think we
i . (.
It means, among other things, that "pro
tection" is needed lor a iegion ot insolvent
and pampered office-holders who, after twen
ty years of place mid spoils, feel th.it their
hour to get out is at hand.
it means maw ii.e ium sj eieiu oi corrupt, i
i and thieving rings, and rings within rings, of j
which the Uepubiicaii party is constituted, is
' about to le swept out of existence by the j
It means that the vast system of corrupt
i wttitli of an awttketie.i people. j
; It means that all the bloated monopolies by j
! which industry is h.inipe-ed and the faces of
i the jMMir are ground, reali.e that the era of j
! privilege and class legislation is going out 1
i with tlie Iteputi lean party.
It means that such combinations as the pa-
per rii:g, which taxes the intelligence of.the
i million to put money in the pockets of ihe
j few; and tlie sugar ring, which has doubled
the price of the oor man'a sugar to enrich a
half hundred monopolists, and scores of other
i similar combinations, are alarmed and want i .
; --protection.
It means r nat, unless something turns up,
the peop'e will h ive an accounting with thetr
faithless servants, and a generation of joh
liers and defaulters and corruptionists in of
fice w ill be forced to ot?n the books to public
inspection.
It means, in a word, that danger threatens,
I not the honest latior of the country, but a
t horde of dishonest politicians that it is not
! our home industries which are crying foi
t protection, but simply a moribund "political
I party. But the deceitful cry will not save it.

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
A REMARKABLE FTORT FROM THK LIM OF
15ITF.D PTATEH SENATOR DAN VOORHEEB.
United State Senator Voorheee ttlls the
following iDtereating Mory ot a remarkable
trial :
I romcmber once defending, at ("rawfords
viile, Ind., a man named Owen, Indicted for
the murder of his wife by poisou. It wns
twenty odd years ago. Owen was a respect
able farmer in good circumstances, and a
consistent church member. He had been
twice married. He had several children by
his first wife ; bis second wife whs childless
a circumstance which peculiarly afTected her
mind and temper. She would not permit hi
children to reside with her, and compelled
him to find a home for them elsewhere, hhe
had frequently threatened suicide in conse
quence of these troubles.
One right Owen was awakened from
sleep to find her dying. He called in assist
ance and sent for a physician, but she was
dead before any one arrived, Her sudden
demise excited suspicion and three days af
ter her burial Uiis was communicated to him 4
by a friend, who further informed him that '
arrangements had 1x:ti made to disinter tl.y ,
body and investigate It. i
Owen was greatly agitated at this in'.lll-
gence, anu, aut.r a Miori jiaue, rcpuea : n
this is done, and poison is found in Kezia's
stomach (his deceased w Ife's Christian name)
I will te accused of her murder, convicted
and hanged. But I am as innocent of it as
that tree," pointing to one near bv.
That night he transferred nil his property
to a son, disguised himself, and tied the
coniitrv. ThelxHlvof his wife was exhumed
mX utopsy had. Enough strychnine
was louna in tier siomaen to kiii a muie.
There was a universal expression of horror
at the discovery, and a large reward was of
fered for the arrest of the fugitive. After
sc-nio mouths he was found in Canada. I
'shere lie was living under an Assumed name, j
He was brought to Crawf..rtisville In irons, i
and it was with difficulty that his execution
bv a mob could lie prevented.

There was a formidable prosecution. Lew
It was proven that a short time before Mrs.
Owen's death her husi.and had -hased !
strychnine at a drug store in tlie ,4;huor
hool, telling the druggist that he wmited it ;
for poisoning rats. But he asked that it
should Iks charged to him. a fact npon which ;
we laid great stress in the argument, insist
ing that l.ad he entertained a criminal design
in buying the drug he would not have put ;
the evidence of tlie fact upon record. A
daughter who was visiting her father's l".ne
when tlie poison was brought home testified
that he handed it to her stepmother in her
presence, cautioning her to !e carcfui with
it. A brother of his wife, who wvts gre .t y
embittered against him, and was a ttii'.ess
for the State, admitted upon cross-, xaunna
tion that Owen's treatment of his sister was
invariably considerate and kind.
This was all we had to base a defense on.
The odds were fearful. There was the re
mark of the marked agitation of Owen when
first infotined of the suspicions existing
against him. his admission that il the p..st
mortem examination showed that poison was
the cause of his wife's deat'.i he would be ac
cused of administering it a nil hanged; his
purchase of the poison : his transfer of his
property and his flight, all combined, nearly
irresistibly led to the conviction "f his guilt.
Mr. Vooihees," he sid to me, "however
darkly things tnt.v an;ear agaM.st me, I am
not guilty," rtni I f ve.I him. We f-.ught
the case like tir-rs ujw.n the reasonable
.iouM which we' deemed the evidence had
not excluded, and won it.
Such an uproar that fnl'.twd I never w:t-TtesM-d.
Owen wa.-. taken to Wilson's pri
vtste resilience, pnrsu-fl by a crod craz-'d
with disappointment and" thirsting for his
blood. Wilson. McD.-naid and I stood at the
front gate with pistols in our hands, au.i
checked the approach of the mob until ( w-n
could escape from fr -m the rear of tlie house
in a convej.tnee tli.it h ol been provided for
him. It is Ihe only time in my life I ever
saw McDonald with" a pistol. H'. sh'.wed an
unmistakable purpose to use it if neces.sttrv.
Owen went to Texas and died there, 1 pre
sume, as I have never s--en nor heard o: Viiin
since. His wife had conveitted suicide He
knew It. but preferred to keep the fat to
himself to avoid S'-andal and exposing her
He was a weak, but an honest man. K r
