his homeward trip on Friday afternoon
and in the evening a.ldress,, what is
admitted on all hands to have lwen the
largest political meeting that has ever
assembled at the State eapitol for twen
ty years. That ope speech of Mr. Pat
ti son contained more g'od, common
pense than all the sever.tv-live or eighty
self-laud itory harangues by which Gen.
Beaver has sought to bolster up hissink
ing and de-perate cause since he first
took the stump. On Saturday Patt ison
went to Reading, ir. "Old Berks' and ad

ry "Boggs, who is about as much of a Re
Publican at heart as we are, made a
speech as is a speech. We once read of
a Connecticut fiddler who always ended
the tune he began playing with 'Yankee
Doodle.' And so it is with Harry Boprcfs'
speeches. No matter what the subject
is upon which he starts out, he invaria
bly winds up with a dissertation on the
tariff that question being his political
meat and drink. Boffcs evidently be
lieves that the people are all fools, for
in hissjwech he exclaimed: "Mark what
I say, if the Democrats are triumphant
your Tariff (with a big T) will be re
pealed, as it was in 1840 ?' "When the
democrats after the election, in 1874
controlled the lower branch of Congress
for six years and the Senate for a por
tion of the same time, did they attempt
to repeal Harry liotrgs' dearly beloved
tariff ? Not much. Ros will find
out on the morninrr after the election
that the people can't be fooled any long
er by this cheap cry about the tariff.
That kind of argument has had its day,
and is now as ineffectual as the once po

TnF. Johnstown Trihunr., on two or
three occasion, of late, made the charge
lhat Chauncev P. Black, the Democrat
ic candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
"was drunk aol made a hosr of himself
at Bedford. I"niontwn and several oth
er places." and that "he u now no bet
ter nor no worse than he has been for
twopf ? years past." We don't suppose
the editor of the Trihunr knew anything
about how Mr. Black conduct ed himself
at ' Bedford. Uniontown, and other pla
ces." but that lieinfj alwavs ready to
pick up a slander azainst a Democratic
candidato for office, and roll it under nis
toncrno as a sweet morsel, he quietly
transferred the charge from the Pitts
bnrsr f'nmnrril Gnztttr to the columns
of the TrVnnt and adopted it as his own.
The Lancaster 'Ermmurr published the
same storv, and Walter M. Franklin, a i
, leadinsr Republican of that city stated
last week to the editor of the Lancaster
hitrlUqmrrr that he had received adis
j patch from Mr. Farqnhar, of York,

Popular Estimate of Pattison.
Controller Pattison. of Philadelphia,
the Democratic candidate for Governor,
lias made a tour of the State, and is
aeain housed at home, not to leave it un
til after the election, except tovisit two
of the important points left untouched
in his travels.
Mr. Pattison was a personal stranger
to most of those whom he met. They
only knew him through the story of his
economical administration of his office,
The public were anxious to see him and
hear him speak. The impression that
he seems to have created is that he is a
practical, unassuming man, who, in of
fice, would carefully perform hi3 duties,
turning neither to the right nor to the
left to prosecute xilitical schemes. The
popular verdict is that he is not as able
a speaker as Stewart ; that he lacks even
the readiness of Beaver ; that in com
mon sense and straightforward, business
like views he is the peer or either. This,
in brief, is the estimate placed upon Pat
tison. It must appear, then, that Mr. Patti
son 's only crime is that he is a Demo
crat, and this 13 probably enough to
prevent any Republican from voting for
him. But Republicans cannot prevent
his elect ion by vot ine for Beaver. The
prospect of electing Beaver is complete
ly faded. The only hope of the Stal
warts was that they could frighten the
people into a reaction by a howl about
the tariff. This has utterly failed, and
the Stalwart cause is prone upon its
back. Therefore, if Republicans do not
want even so clean-handed and safe a
Democrat as Pattison elected, they
should eo in a body to the Independent
ticket, which, none can deny, represents
pure. old-fashioned Republicanism. This
is all that can save the State to the Re
publicans. Of course there is a way by which Re
publicans can still prove that they hold
numerical supremacy, even though Pat
tison be elected : That is by splitting
the party and giving the Independents
and Stalwarts each a half. But it would
doubtless ?w much more satisfactory to
all Republicans to elect Republican
State officers. The only way to do this
is to vote for the entire Stalwart ticket.
Even the most sanguine Stalwart pol
iticians have in their hearts abandoned
all hope, and their only desire is to de
ceive those who follow them into a be
lief that there is yet a fighting chance,
and thus prevent them from joining the
Independents. The Stalwarts accuse
the Independents of preferring Patti
pon's election to Beaver's. Perhaps so.
But will any Stalwart denv that he pre
fers Pattison 's election to Stewart's ?
JrsT on thp eve of an election, says
the Altoona Sun, Gen. Campbell, who
has not botheied himself much during
his offcial term as a member of Congress
al)out,hi3 constitnents.come3 to the front
with a bait for the Altoona people. We
are promised free delivery or mail car
riers by the 1st of N'ovember. Does
anvlody believe that if General Camp
bell were not a candidate for re-election
he would not have given the matter a
thonuht ? No. But something has to
be done to heal the disaffection of his
constituents here and the eovernment is
called upon to assist him by the show of
free mail delivery. That is all well
enousih but the people have very little
confidence in Gen. Campbell's sincerity.
They know the scheme too well. What
we want is a new post-office building
one which will afford ample space and
accommodations such a building as a
city of 2.".(iOO inhabitants needs nad
Gen. Carnpliell inserted a clause for such
a building in the appropriation bills, we
would think that he cared at least to
some extent for his constituents.
General Coffroth, while in Congress,
had a bill introduced for a new post-of-fice'and
had he been retured to Congress
in place of Campbell, the Altoona peo
ple would now enjoy a new post-office,
but Campbell never gave the subject a
thought. Let the people of Altoona re
member this and support den. Coffroth,
their friend. Let the people of this dis
trict purify the halls of Congress as far
as lies in their power, and let them leave
the small politicians at home and elect
a man like Coffroth who is an honor to
the State and ration, a man whom the
people can trust and will honestly repre

How to Print tijf. Tickkts.
There has been considerable uncertain
ty as to how the tickets for the coming
election should le printed in order that
they may conform to the provision of
the law. The oilice of Congressman-at-Large,
rendered necessary bv the fact
that no new apportionment bill has been
passed by the Legislature, is to all in
tents a State office, and would naturally
be included in tho State ticket, were it
r.ot that the law of March .10th, 1
directs that all members of Congress
shall be. included in the ticket headed
'county." In order that there may be
and directions accordingly are given to
i all the county chairmen of the Republi
can, Democratic. Independent Uepuoii

name of the candidate for Congressman
at-Large shall be printed on the county
ticket as follows. Immediately under
the word "County" the title Congress-man-at-Large.

Dear McPniE-My letter this week is en
tirely devoted to the rehearing of a cniloqny
I heard this morning between Mr. Timothy
O Leary and Mr. Taerick McAtamman.
Meeting on Broad strett,, Mr. O'Lcary salu
ted Mr. McAtammana thus :
"(iood moroin', rat!"
"Ah I Tim, me boy. is that you? How's
the world thratin' you ?"
"rarty faiily, thanks be to God I An how
is it wid yerself, Pat?"
"Bravely ! bravely ! What way's the Mic

"Troth. Pat, an It's little call I have to

""Why, Tim, I thousrht you was a red-hot
politician."
"Indade an' I was once, but rl've know.
Pat. that them politicians or office-seekers
is the biccest thaves alive, an' I sold ont pol
itics, tuck the pledge, an' am a dacent man
agin."
"Weil, troth, I belave ve, Tim. It's little
an Irishman makes bethim politicians in the
long run."
"Makes, is It? Tie makes ruination an'
disgrace, loss av time, loss av character, an'
sometimes loss av sowl."
"But ye don't mane to say, Tim, that all
politicians is alike."
"By no manner av manes, Pat, for some
av 'em may he vartuous and upright; but
it's little call us poor Irish bovs has to the
likes av 'em. Tho dirty workers kape ap
pailin' to us as Irishmen, an' not as American
citizens, thus makin' us n kind av distinct
party, just as if we didn't love the country
and its institutions every bit as mnch as any
av 'em ; an' then it's bard work they give us
for rtoin their biddin' "
"For all the world, Tim, like knooktn' a
man down and kickin him for fallin'."
".Tnot so, Pat. A n ' what T say now is that
us Irish hoys hasn't anv call to be mindin'
their meetin's or flalherv ; It's onlv ladin' ns
asthray. If an Irishman has pot a votp let.
him;make nse av it to ttie best av his thinkin'
and lave the rest av it to the offipp-saker.
It'll save himself a dale av thronblo an' his
connthry a dale av disgrace. Thp kind av
Irishmen wp sometimes see on 'lection tick
ets is no credit, the Lord knows, toanyconn
thrv min wldout edication, hreedin' or prin

butthennmp, which, aftherall. Is only a thrap
to patch Irish votes for offiee-sakprs on the

the ass he fstmakin' avjhimsplf sittin"himself
up as Assissor. Why. it's not lone stnpe he

on phairs in eommattpps an' callln' him Es
quirp till he's ent so big that a who'e web v
cloth won't make him a pair of britches, an
so lazv he won't work barrin' von give him
six houre out av everv five to rist himself."
"Well. Tim, take any hoy widout larnin',
that's ripen horn an' bred io slavery, an put
him red-hot nmone these politicians, to be
flathered an' made mucn av, an' its enonqh
to turn his head."
"Thrue for ye, Tat; but when Irishmen
see themselves made tools av made sthep
ladders av why don't thevqult, an' not lavp
it in the power av dacint min to find fault
wid 'cm. What's all their meddlin' for?
Share the tiiecet place an Irishman gits from

"Talkin' av thrt. Tim, shure Corney Don
avan's on the polish."
"Is it big Corner, Tat?"
"Sorra a word av a lie about ft, an' small
blame to him whin he gits a big salary just
for pathrolin" a block wid a badge on his bus

"Well, it's alwavs mighty fine, Pat. 'as long
as the wages last, hut do ye'think Onrnev's

be fit, for anything when his time's up ? Xo,
faix, not h. A mpcham'e or a lahorin' man,
Pat. who idles about for a few years, schmo
kin here an' dhrinkin there, "an meddlin
and mixin' wid had characters, won't be wll

soft, his joints is stiff, an' his mind Is lazv.
He's nothin' left hut politics, an' thin maybe
it's a 'will o' tho wisp he'll he followin' for
the rest 'a v his days. Just look at me, Pat,
thp sthate I was left in by that tarin' villain,
that thavin robber. Gammon."
"I niver heard av that, Tim, at laste I
mver heard the rights av it. Come tell me
how tt was, Tim."
"Well, just walk a hit an' I'll tell ye. Ye
see this tarin villain an' thavin' robber. Gam

worked hard for Gammon. On the day av

what do von think Gammon towld me ?"
"Troth, I dunno. Tim."
"lie towld me that he wished mpself and
all the bloody Irish was in h 1 ; that it was
a disgracp for any dacent man to be pon

Pattison's Personality. A word as to
the personal appearance of the man. A tall,
well-knit frame, and of fine appearance. A.
long hpad and clparly-pnt featurps. ITis pic
tures do not do him Justice. Keen, sharp,
deep-set black eyes, with set Jaws, and
heavy, sqnarp chin. TPs expression Is kind
ly and fripndly, and wben he takes you by
the hand and yon look up into that face vou
feel at once a though you had known him
for years. Nature made no mistake, for
every feature says, "TIere Is a man ; trust
him, and he will not betray vou." Honesty,
firmness and decision are written in his face
as plainly as though spared in with a hot
iron. Hp talks like a presiding elder at a
campineeting, voice as clear as a bugle, and
can be heard squares away. There isnoex
citement in tone or manner, but a terrible
earppotness that holds his hparers spell
bound, because h knows what, he believes
and says it in that manner. His words are
well chosen and tils sentences clean cut Eng
lish. Everv word is heard distinctly, and
every word Is listened for. When a sentence
is uttered in that firm, fearless and precise
manner of his, his jaws close over it as much
as to sav, "True, true, and it will not be ta
ken back." If there is any Democrat who
will vote for Pnttisiin, thinking he will run
the administration of the State in the inter

not authorized bv law. although by prece
dentif such there be, he is greatlv mistaken
and if pxpecting reward for political service,
lie had better vote at once for a machine can
didate like Cameron's.

A rf.m ark apltc circumstances Is report
ed from Fort Wayne, Tnd. On Tuesday af
ternoon of last week Mrs. W. L. Petit wife
of the teller of the First National bank of
Fort Wayne, apparently died and the under
taker took charge of the body. Arrange
ments were making for the funeral and wat
chers sitting with tne supposed corpse. At
10 o'clock a faint sigh was heard coming from
the body. The watchers started to tiieir feet
with alarm, stepped to her side, found her
eyes were wide open, while In a voice that
was searcly an audible whisper she recog
nized fhem and asked for her husband. For
a moment the attendants wew speechlpss
with wonder at this resurrection of the dead ;
then, with the revulsion of feeling they al
most screamed with excitement. The hus
band came in. and with joy unspeakable
clasped again his living wife in his arms.
The doctor was sent for, and he was as much
astonished as the rest of the household at
beholding living what in his exact medical
science he had declared dead. He adminis
tered the proper restoratives, and the patient
rapidly recovered, and wasldeclared at a late
hour to be In a more hooeful condition.
A RFPnonucnvE Comet. The present

mod. rn eompts. Prof. Lewis Swift, director
of the Warnpr Observatory. Rochester, N. Y.,
states lhat the comet grazed the sun so close
ly ns to causi great disturbance, so much so
that it has divided into no less than eight sep
erate. parts, all of which can be distinctly
seen by a good telescope. There is only one
other instance on record where a comet has
divided, that one being Biella's comet of '46
which separated into two'parts. Applica
tions have been made on Mr. II. II. Warner
bv parties who have noted these cometary
offshoots, claiming tho ?2oo prize for each
one of them. Whether the great comet will
continue to produce a brood of smaller com

beyond any they could ha-.-;
elsewhere; because tf the

must have all accepted styles,
and all the approved quali

Two damask towels at i;
and iS cents may serve il
show what we gain by Lay
ing of the makers. The Very
same towels are in the whole
sale trade in New York at
about 2i and 22 cents, whih
means at least 25 cents at
retail.
We are not goln to say
that all our retail prices are
below New York whole-sale;
nothing of the sort. "Mere
than one swallow to make a
summer." But where sud
towels are to be got for 1;
cents is a good place tjb;k
for bed and table-linen, ar.i

Do you remember a 35

which we had iS.oco yards
last fall? Afterward we a
7,000 yards more of it; ar.d
a little of it is left yet. That
is 23-inch. This wide flan

and, for people who want it,
there is quite a little vit
