There is one feature of the present
campaign that is particularly promin
ent, and that is that the Republican
campaign orators, from Blaine down,
all evade any lengthy discussion oo the
tariff question. There are other sub.
jects which aie more congenial to them
the abusing of the Democratic candi
date and the present administration,
for instance.
It is possible that the assassins who
murdered the paymasters in Luzfrne
county on Thursday of last week, be
long to the garg employed by Quay to
o to New York to protect the purity
of the ballot. They may have lost
their recoiling, got in:o Luzerne county
instead of New York and rinding no
ballot boies to protect, resumed their
regular catling.
Tns Supreme Coorts of the State of
New York, in a decision lately render
ed sustains the validity of the will of
the late Samuel J. Tilden. The will
was contested by George II. Tilden on
the ground, mainly, that the clauses
providing for a public library and read
ing room were void by reason of their
indeaniterjess and ancertainty, and that
power was given to the trustees practi
cally to make such disposal of the resi
duary estate as they saw fit. By the
terms of the will the city of New York
will get about four million dollars for
the purpose of f juuding a free library.
TnE arrangements made by the busi
ness men's associations, in conjunction
with the Democratic campaign clubs,
to have at each polling place in the city
of New York two representatives from
eacfc organization, is one that will ia
sure the bringing out of a vote not often
fully rolled. The co operation of these
associations is to extend also to the
buuching and distribution of the ballots,
to join in which they have been partic
ularly invited by the Democratic organ
izations. There will be no mischance
or mistake whatever about any of the
arrangements for polling the full vote
of Democratic New York for Cleve
land's re election.
Democrats throughout the county
should begin at once to make arrange
ments for getting out every Democratic
vote. If you have a neighbor who lives
at a distance from the polls, who
through infirmity or some other cause
is not likely to vote, take him along.
Those who have teams and will drive
to the polls should make arrangements
to take their neighbors who are not so
well situated. The vote this year will
be largely Increased all over the country
and Cambria county must and will show
a large percentage of Democratic gain.
The whole coucty ticket wi'I be elected
by aa Increased majority, but, with the
entire Democratic vote out there is a
Uroog probability of electing A. V.
Dively Esq., to theSenate and increasing
Democratic representation In that mon
opoly serving body.
The time for talk and bluster is past
and we must now get down to quiet,
effective work. You may talk to a
man for a month and convince him, but
if befalls to go to the polls your argu
ment Is lost. Every stay-at- home
Democrat that you take 10 the pells is
a Democratic gain ot one and there has
not been an election in the past twenty
years that we cou'd not have gained
from two to five hundred over the vote
polled.
Let your neighbor know in time that
L9 can ride with you to the polls and
also notify the member of the County
Committee of your township, who you
will take, and if there are others that
you cannot take let the committeeman
make the necessary arrangements to
tave th-tu troaght to the polls. Every
vote counts, therefore lei every Demo
crat put his shoulder to the wheel and
letv- as few Democrats ou the atay-at-Louie
hit m bQ6siL!e.
On Monday last Col. Calvin S. Brice.
Chairman of the Democratic National
Campaign Committee, addressed the
Business Men's Cleveland and Thur
mao organization at the S'.evens House,
in New York. Col. Brice as a matter
of course, is posted on the political sit
uation and iu h:s address he save the
following cheering information.
lie said that so far as the National Com
mittee was concerned, and their opportuni
ties for setting tbe truth were good, all re
ports indicated a glerious victory. From
Indiana toe Information was baaed on com
plete and thorough canvasses, and tb re
sult was such that the committee believed
the Slate to be sure for Cleveland and
Thurmao. Of Connecticut Colonel Brice
said that ex Senator Barnum. who krew
all about every district in the State, was
perfectly assured that It belongs In the
Cleveland column. Only the the use of
money literally, and even prodigally, bv the
Republicans, would In any way endanger
the success of tbe Demccrats. In New
Jersey tbe Republicans had given up en
tlrely all hopes of carrying tbe State since
tbe result of the Newark charter election
had fhown tbat the manufacturing districts
bave not been scared away from the Democ
racy.
These points Colonel Brice stated at some
length, and he was eagerly listened to and
frequently applauded. When he came to
speak of New York, the Interest was Inten
sified. Be said :
"The Republicans rely on three things to
break down the Democratic strength in tbe
Sta'e. The first, they say. Is eliminating
tbe fradulent Democratic vote. I can as
sure them that tUtir efforts to purify the
election affaiis of this city are gratuitous
and unnecessary. The elections In this city
are purer and stralghter than In any otter
large city la tbe world.
"The second Reptilican reliance Is upon
purchased votes, and that, too. will prove
delusive. Votes cannot on bought to any
extent on either side, as tli- organizations
are so strong. The Democrats do Pot bay
votes, and the Democratic voters are not
for sale.
"Tbe third Republican dependence Is no
on Democratic defection by rrason of tbe
free trade scare, wblch It Is hoped will have
a gieat influence on tbe worklngmen's vote.
Tbe Newark election showed the fallacy or
this, and the reports from tbe Interior of tbe
State Indicate tbat tbe Democratic voters In
the manufacturing districts there are not to
be stampeded by this cry. Wltbln the
last ten days tbe reports show that a tide Is
setting In In favor of tbe Democratic nas
tional ticket that will put ths tblrtv-Mx
votes of New York State Into the Cleveland
column beyond any doubt."
Of Michigan Colonel Brice reported that
tbe Democracy has a fighting chance, and
In other Western States without going Into
particulars, he reported the existence of a
strong under current in favor of Cleveland
and Tburman and tariff reform. He closed
this part of his speech with assurances that
tbe prospects were all for victory, and be
was loudly applauded.
C. R. Banks, of Newark, New Jer
sey, one of tbe Secretaries of the Re
publican National Convention, who Is
now stumping Indiana for Harrison, in
a private letter of tbe 21st Inst., to
Austin II. McGregor, of Newark, in
speaking of the political outlook in
Indiana, says :
"Blaine did barm In Jeffersonyllle and
Evansvtlle, in tbe opinion of good men on
our side. My honest opinion Is Cleveland
will carry Indiana. Good God, you ought
to see the Democrats turn out at Brazil, Ind.
The Democrats had Tburman, and many
people were at tbe station tbat the express
train had to go slow to clear men off the
track. But you never saw an Indiana turn
out Rain and mud don't stop it.
Fred. Douglass, the well known Re
publican politician and colored leader,
in an interview at tbe New York Cen
tral depot on last Friday, said :
"I have recently returned from a
thorough canvass of tbe Hoosler State, and
I am satisfied In my own mind that It will
be Impossible to carry tbe State for Harrison
in tbe coming election. Mr. Harrison's po
sition on tbe labor question while In the
Senate and bis ntterance tbat a dollar a day
was enough for any laboring man has an
tagonized all organized labor In tbat State,
and In addition to tbls antagonism of the
labor Interests, tbe Democrats are thorough
ly organized, are In earnest and have made
a thorough canvass or tbe State, having bad
an abundance of money and being well sup
plied with speakers. We bave found tbat
all of our efforts on the tariff question bave
been neutralized, and bave been of little or
no avail."
In regard to the State of New Tot. Mr.
Douglass also said : "We have made stren
uous efforts In tbe Western part of tbe
State, and we are talking of coming to the
Harlem with 70,000 for Ilarrison, but to my
opinion we shall not reach tbe Ilarlem with
43,000, and I see little or no hope for carry
ing the State or New York. In fact. I In
dividually, have abandooed all bope of
carrying either State."
Four years ago there were says the
Philadelphia Jiceord a great many pa
triotic citizens of the United States
who honestly entertained tbe opinion
that it was not safe to intrust the Gov
ernment to the hands of a Democratic
Administration. This year there is not
a man in the country who entertains
such an opinion.
The fiscal management of tbe last
three years has been so admirable as to
compel tbe praise oi caodiJ Republi
cans. There has been no failare and
no scandal in auy department of tbe
public service. A new war navy nas
sprung into existence with less expendi
ture than had beto deemed receesary
under prceding Administrations for the
repair of old hulks and the construction
of sea-going freaks. Better than all,
the ousiness of the whole coua'.ry Is
moving steadily and securely forward
without apprehension, notwithstanding
the prospect ot Tariff Revision and the
perturbations of a national election.
These things are or common notorie
ty. They compel observation. And out of
the pubi'c cotitldeuce and general seren
ity thus begotten President Cleveland
will add thousands upon thousands to
his vote as it stood in 1SS4. His ad
ministration has been so creditable as
to bring over to his sido the solid men
who blleve in safe aud honest rule, but
who are timid in the trial of new men
and measures. He was elected over
Mr. Blaine by disgusted R-patlicans
four ears ao. II will be re elected
over Mr. Harrison br cause of tbe sober
confidence he baa inspired throughout
the country by his courageous honesty
and fidelity to what he conceives to be
trie public interest.

The Issne After IdjaarnmeaL,
Tbe adjournment of Congress under
circumstances which leaves no room to
doubt Republican responsibility for the
postponement of tax-reform legislation
leaves the Meld in the Presidential can
vass open to tbe discus. ion of the gen
eral issue of tbe election. That issue
is whether tbe Administration of Pres
ident Cleveland does or does sot de
serve a vote of confidence of the Ameri
can people and the contionance of its
opportunity to enforce the principles of
economical government and administra
tive reform.
Tbe attempt of the Republicans to at
tack the executive record made by the
President and heads of departments Is a
most conspicuous failure. No one has
ever attempted it of late, with tbe ex
ception of Mr. Blaine in tbe speeches
be has made since his field of discussion
was limited by orders of Republican
Headquarters inhibiting bioi from
talking about tbe trusts, retaliation or
British sentiment. II is accusations of
undue partisanship in administration
are simply ridiculous in view of such
facts as wert elicited to tbe discom
fiture of the Republican committeemen
by the senatorial investigation of Cus
tom House affairs ia this city. Tbe
report of Senator Blackburn on tbat
proceeding demonstrates tbe vast Im
provement in tbe Federal service result
ing from Democratic control, tbe
impartial execution of all laws, includ
ing the Civil Service statutes, and the
eaual treatment of all subordinate
officials ithout regard to party belief.
When President Cleveland came into
office, Democrats in official positions
were as rare as white blackbirds. Now,
after nearly four years of proper exer
cise of sound political discretion In ap
pointment of tbe beads of departments
and bureaus, a very large percentage of
subordinate posts are still filled by Re
publican incumbents. 7e are among
those who believe tbat the efficiency of
tbe Federal service has, in fact, sofiered
by tbe retention of many officials, not
simply because they were Republicans,
but because they bad become indoctrin
ated with, or habituated to, tbe loose
and incorrect methods that prevailed
nnder Republican rule. But that they
are still in place is undeniable, and.
there were no corroborative evidence,
that fact in Itself would prove that tbe
spirit as well as tbe letter of the Civil
Service laws has been respected add
enforced by tbe President and his chief
subordinates.
In our international relations the
dignity of American citizenship, tbe
rights or American property and tbe
advantages or American industries have
been upheld In a manner so firm, con
sistent, pure and patriotic as to form a
most striking contrast with the doings
of Republican administrations. While
Mr. Blaine was Secretary of State ter
giversation, favoritism and the promo
tion of jobbery discredited tbe country,
as is illustrated by such conspicuous
instances as toe Jewett case.
With respect to tbe administration of
the pension service, every old soldier in
tbe country has reason for gratitude in
the liberal justice done to veterans to
an extent unparaJlele; since the war,
through the action of the President in
approving general and private bills, and
through tbe judicious, resolute and pa
triotic course of General Black in pre
venting extortion, throttling the Pen
sion Ring, and securing to veterans
their dues from tbe Government free
from tbe extravagant deductions they
have heretofore been called upon to pay
to middlemen.
Of tbe success of tbe Treasury ad
ministration nothing remains to be
said after the complete ard convincing
exposition of te policy of Manning as
pursued by himself, made in theepeech
of Secretary Fairchild at the merchants1
meeting: ten days ago.
No one has ventured to ques'.lon tbe
mighty service rendered to the people of
tbe Uuited States in tbe administration
ot tbe public lands and tbe restoration
to the people of about one hundred
millions of acres of which they had
been deprived by fraud by the supine
ness or connivance of previous adminis
trations. The transformation of our naval ad
ministration from the inefficient; crim
inal and wasteful policy or Robeson and
Chandler to tbe enterprising, able,
scientific and progressive mtbods of
Whitney is undeniable and uodenled.
And so through all branches of the
Federal seivice a record is presented
respecting which Democrats may ask
with pride and confidence : Can any
one show tbe slightest reason why tbe
Administration that accomplished these
things should be punished by dismissal,
aud tbe country once more placed in the
hands of tbe party which is responsible
for tbe crimes and scandals ot carpet
bag rule and the domination of the
plundering rings that defrauded our
revenues nod dissipated tbe public ber
tage? Y.Star.
Another Lie ailed.
Tbe Republican managers have
grown so bold in their campaign frauds
as to forge letters and quotations not
only from English papers, but also from
prominent Americans. One of tbe
moat recent forgeiies tbat bave been
sent broadcast over tbe land represented
Mr. Jesse Metcalf of tbe famous Waus
beech Mills. Province. R. I., as saying
that it the Mills bill passed be expected
to reduce the wages of his employees.
A Boston friend wrote to Mr. Metcalf,
and his answer should be read by every
man wishing to see tbe Mills bill In Us
true light. Here is part of it : The re
port is a campaign lie. I am sure that
IneversVd I expected a redaction of
wages under an? circumstances. I am
certainly in favor of the Mills bill and
of free wool. Under the present tariff
we bave practically free trade In our
spring goods. acJ yet we continue to
run at a profit. With free wool aud 40
per cent, doty we should have all the
protection that the most selfish interests
ought to ask for. and far more than the
consumers ought to grant us. More
than tbat would be a premium on lazi
ness. With free wool we have not half
enough machinery In this country to
snplpy the demand for goods, and cer
tainly we could not expect lower wages
with such an Increased demand for la
bor as would result. In the event of
tbe paesage of the Mills bill I have
promised to erect a new mill, as I can
conceive of no more profitable invest
ment for our stockholder."

A Campaign f Bliffaad Blaster.
Tbe Republicans realize that in tbe
debate before tbe people tbe Democrat a
have won. They find themselves over
matched at every point in legitimate
campaigning. Their desperation in
duces tnem.o resort to a pretense of
vigor and cuniidenc when they no long
er bave either. They are now resorting
to tbe meanest of all political stupidi
ties, trading upon their reputation for
political villainy. They are endeavor
log to fill the public mind with tbe idea
that they are iiossesaed of some wonder
ful magic by which they can produce
election results at will, regardless of tbe
wishes of the voters. Tbey are parad
ing about this town, in most ridiculous
style, a gang of election tricksters who
bave managed to keep out of jail in tbe
S'-ate of Pennsylvania mainly because
even there tbey nevei accomplished
half as much in the line of villainy as
they boasted of. Their conduct is for
all the world like tbat of tbe man in
tbe play who was bent upon being
thongbt a desperate villain, and went
about proclaiming himself in that char
acter, to the terror of small children
and the amusement of men and women,
who knew what a harmless person be
really was.
Of course, in New York this per
formance has simply tbe effect of a
roaring farce, but elsewhere it may pro
duce an impression tbat these invading
Hessians are actually something like
what they pietend to be. So it is well
that all friends throughout the country
should understand tbat their methods
have not the slightest particle or terror
for New York Democrats. Our laws
are clear and strong, and the execution
of them Is in firm bands. United States
Marshals and District Attorney of this
district and of other districts are reso
lute men, who will not tolerate tbe
slightest attempt at fradulent doings
about an election over which tbey bave
supervision. Tbe local authorities are
experienced, and determined to make
examples of any who attempt to trifle
wiih the suffrage.
Tbe conditions of this year are entire
ly different from those of previous pres
idential elections when tbe power of the
General Government was in Republican
hands, and there is nothing rerious that
tbe party of fraud and bombast dare at
tempt with tbe knowledge tbat they are
watched by resolute and vigilant offi
cials ready to enforce tbe law against
them to tbe last extremity. Those who
set out to commit any fraud, to bribe
or be bribed for election purposes in
tbe city or S'-ate of New York, would
do well to make np their minds to a
prolonged sojourn In jail at tbe end of
their efforts ; and Mr. Quay and bis
associates should drop their pretmse
to tbe notoriety of desperate and suc
cessful villains, for, hoerevpr dsperate
they may be, they certainly cannot Le
snccessf ul.
Republican Headquarters will bave
all tbev can do to hold their own in
tbeir Republican States without wast
ing resources and energy upon Demo
cratic communities. Illinois, Wiscon
sin, Iowa and Minnesota are among
the States requiring immediate attecs
tion at their hands. If they are not con
tent to lose what has long been theirs
in the attempt to create au imprebslon
of their ability to capture what belongs
to u.
With factory employees their cam
paign of intimidation baa fallen
through, and the public is not in tbe
least Impressed Vj their brags about tbe
Immense amount of money they have
in band. They have collected large
sums, no doubt. But if half what Mr.
Quay said in his interview of Sunday
be true, they are wasting their surplus
right royally. They have locked up as
betting stakes against the money of
professional gamblers a turn large
enough to conduct an ordinary cam
paign, and, as part of their game of
bluff, they bave pot it where it can be
of no possible use to them nntil after
election, or even then, since It is quite
certain to pass into the bands of those
who bave laid wagera against It.
The Democratic com rait tees bave had
no immense fund, but they are not con
ducting a money campaign, and they
now expect to receive sufficient to do
what is necessary to close efficiently a
canvass of Intelligence. With confi
dence and energy the victory is certain
ly ours ; and Democrats that fought
steadily for a quarter of a century to
obtain tbe power ihe people wished to
bestow upon thent are not to be intimi
dated by hobgoblin stories set afloat as
the last despairing opponents. X. 1".

Quay's Plans Exposed.
Chairman Quay has at last brushed
all pretences aside, removed tbe mask
and exposed his plan ot campaign. It
is to be one of bribery and corruption.
With the assistance of William K.
Leeds and Charles E. Voorhees he has
been colonizing negroes anl others in
New York city and points throughout
tbe State. At least 1GO heelers, the
men who usually serve on Pinkerton's
force when bloody work is expected,
have gone from this citv since last
Tuesday under orders of Quay's emis
saries. Nothing better was expected of Quay
and his immediate assistants in this ne
farious wotk. A man who violated his
oath and tampered with the funds of
the State as a Commissioner of tbe
Sinking Tund is not likelv to draw fine
lines in politics. A man who as Secre
tary of the Commonwealth would use
bis vote in the Pardon Board to shield
himself from prosecution for corrupt
solictation is not likely to see nice dis
tinctions in a despeiate emergency.
But tbat tbe money to conduct such a
contest should be contributed by repu
table business men ot this city Is a mat
ter of surprise.
But is ton late to saoratizo on .uch
subjects. There is but one thing to do,
and that Is to detect, prosecoteand pun
ish the offenders. It is an easy matter
In the light of known facts to bring
each one of tbem to book. Let tbe fall
force of the outraged law be brought
against tbem. Do not stop with the
punishment of Leeds and Voorhees.
Follow this line until Quay is caught
and taken into Court to answer for tbe
greatest crime that can be committed
against the government, that of de
bauching tbe ballot.
That Quay's plans are as here atated
ia well established. This is not a basti-ly-made
or Ill-advised charge, for tbe
names of all tbe emissaries spoken of
are known to tbe detectives of tbe Na
tional Democratic Committee. Another
question worth the earnest consideration
cf certain gentlemen of high standing
In this city of Brotherly Love ib wheth
er they can consider themselves acquit
ted of moral blame in giving money in
to the bands of this creature Qnay, a
man without character and without
conscience, when thev eannot heln
knowing tbat It will be used to perpe
trate a great crime against the people,
the debauching of tbe ballot. Phila.
