" The 0 Million Steal
has always met with bitter opposition
from Jno. H. Orvis, hence he can bo
relied upon to oppose the measure,
with all his ability, as a member of the
House.
Mr. Orvis is pledged to oppose
taking of the 9 million from the sink
ing fund.
Taxpayers bear this in iniud, and
v ote for Mr. Orvis.
Whew!
Tho Bellefonte Republican
is dishing up an old, spoiled stew,
and thinks to scare votes against Or
vis on the Library Bill, when evc
•rybody knows that Mr. Orvis does
not care whether there is a law libra
ry or not, having repeatedly declared
that if the people wished it they might
have it, if not, not. That old stew
didn't worb _before, and a rehash will
be of leas account now aince the peo
ple understand that matter so well.
Don't Cut.
Democrats don't be led into cutting
Benj. Shafer by radical falsehoods and
triks. There is not a worthier man
upon our ticket, or one so deserv
ing every democratic vote as well as'
* the vote of every other honest man.
The Nine Million.
The nine million steal is a radical
measure to tob the sinking fand of its
securities. Mr. Orvis is the known
enemy of the 9 million steal an i is
therefore the proper man to vote for '
for Assembly.
John H. Orris.
Who stood by the democratic parly
in time of trial, and raised his power- 1
ful voice in behalf of her imperish
able principles, and exposed the wick
edness of radicalism and tore their
sophistries to shrcads in this county ? j
It was John If. Orvis. Democrat-,.
stand by Jno. H. Orvis now, as oar
nominee for the Legislature. He de
serves your wannest support. The
democracy of Centre county owe Mr. I
Orvis a debt of gratitude for his fear
less defense of its principles iu times
past.
Henry Sherwood.
What can the moet bitter radical 1
say against Hon. Henry Sherwood,
who has been nominated for re-elec
tion to Congress? All admit, that he
was an honest and faithful represen- i
tative. Then why not re-elect him, 1
when we discover that we have an
honest and reliable man ? (
Mr. Sherwood's name is not connect
ed with the Washington ring. He i
has not been found associated with the '
plunderers. He has stood by the true '
interests of his constituents and the '
people in general.
Then, honest voters of the 18th di- -
trict, why not re-elect him. Look ut -
his record. The radical press and 1
speakers have not yet found a bad
vote there ; if be bad not been a true ;
and faithful servant, his errors would J
have been pointed out long ago. J
There is not even a small one they can -
find which to magnify.
Then, honest voters, go for Henry :
Sherwood, in October. You know
what he iß—bis opponent, Mr. Ross, i- s
untried, and therefore you must take '
him with doubts.
Go for Sherwood, and show your up- *
preciation of a good, tried, and faith- ]
ful servant. 1

Benj. Shafer.
The JBellefonte Republican is giv< u
to ridiculing Benj. Shafer. Mr. Shafer
is a better man, ten times, than theed- J,
itor of tho Republican, and will get i
the support of every democrat and t!
honest republican. Votes cannot be il
made for Levi Miller by abusing Bon r;
Shafer; Mr. Shafer is too well known t
to the people, and a man of better h
character, and better qualified for the
office of sheriff ia not to be found. 1 b
"Deai* Wrkes."
' Dear Yerkes," is the manner in

Addition, Division
and Silence.
K ruble and llartranft had Evans
rorom mended to settle the state
clftints, because he understands "addi
ton division and silence."
Addition was to add up at the rate
<>f ten per cent, to the amount of sev
eral hundred thousand dollars, of
which the statu was robbed.
"Division," meant tho division of
this plunder among II art ran ft, Canto
rou and Kenihlo, and
"Silence" meant that never a word
would be said about the gigantic
(steal.
The ft Million
The 0 million scheme is oue of
Ha; trauft's schemes to rob the sinking
fund f i the benefit of railroad corpo
rnti us.' liuckalevf opposed it all along
in the senate, and will veto the bill if
pa- d. llartranft of course would sign

"Takes the Starcl

'■" lakes the Starch right out," is
what llartramt wrote to Calhoun,
alien the latter operated in oil with
state funds, furnished by Hartranft,
and when some of their schemes of
speculation were declared illegal by
the attorney general—which "took the

Day goes by after day, and we have
no word of explanation from the meu
whoso names stand recorded as bribe
takers. as hucksters of votes, as dishon
est and dishonorable public servants,
in the following list of persons whom
Mr. Oakes Ames, member of Congress
and Director of the Credit Mobilier of
America, avers that he bought up to
secure the passage through Congress
of such measures as he wished made
law:
Share*.
| Blaine, of Maine ] 3,000
Patterson, of New Hampshire... 3,0W
1 Wilson, Massachusetts 2,000
' Painter (Rep** for Quigley 3,000
S. Colfax, Speaker 2,000
| Schofield and Kcllcy, Pa., each 2,000
Eliot Massachusetts 3,000
Dawes, Massachusetts 2,000
; Fowler, Tennessee 2,000
Boutwell, Massachusetts 2,000
Bingham and Garfield, (>., each 2,000
Indorsed: Oakes Ames, Jan., 30,1868.
This list, be it remembered, was
drawn up by a republican member of
! Congress from Massachussetts. 11 had
no political intent. "It meant busi
necs," only, it comes to the public
eye now ouly through a lawsuit be
tween one of the capitalists of the
Credit Mobilier, Colouel McCorah,
and the Credit Mobiler. It is only
the doorway of the cave of the Forty
Thieves, too, not tho whole cave. But
it i 3 open, and the whole cave will be
explored. Meanwhile, before the
torches are carried in,
Will these men speak ?
They are charged by this list with
dishonor and dishonesty. Their si
lence is convicting them. One of
these men is a candidate for the high
office of Vice-President of the United
States, Henry Wilson, of Massachu
setts, convicted already by your own
words of equivocation and'false witness
you uow stand charged by Oakes
Ames, a man of your own State and
your own party, with bribery and cor
ruption ! Will you plead guilty to the
charge'!
Another of these men is the actual
Secretary of the Treasury. Under a
President whose own hands and life
were pure he would a week ago have
been called to choose between disprov
ing the accusation now ihsiined upon
hint and resigning his coutrol of Jbe
national purse.
Geo. S. Boutwell, of Mussachu
settes convicted already by your own
acts of deserting your official duties to
engineer the re-election of your chief,
you now stand charged by Gffkes
Ames, a man of your own State and
your own party, with bribery and cor
ruption ! Will you plead guilty to the
charge ?
After you, the rest.— World.

llart muff UrlbliiK Yorkos with a
Promise of Pardon to Declare
Ills Affidavits Forgeries.
A Philadelphia correspondent of
the World Myi the HnrtmniYCniner
on managers, becoming necessarily
alarmed in regard to the overwhelm*
ing defeat in October of their guber
natorial candidate, have been n-rious
lv considering what is the best course
to break the demoralising cflcet of the
Ycrkcs affidavit, which charged that
"on the 10th day of December, 1870,
he (Y'erkcs) did pay to John F. Ilart
raufl $2,700 as his share of the profit*
arising from the sale of State loaus to
the Sinking Fund Commissioners."
The result of the deliberation was that
it was ordered that the affidavits must
be pronounced forgeries, ainPiu order
to make the thing work smoothly it
also became necessary to seal the lijw
of Y'erkcs a hermetically as his cor
pus is "bottled up" in the cemented
cells of Cherry Hill. Ycrkee was vis
ited iu his prison cell
now undergoing u two years' impris
onment for dealing with the public
fuuds of the city precisely as he dealt
with the ftinds of the Stale), and was
ltd to belitve that all fttrthcr hope of
pardon from Geary must he abandon*
c*l, and lhat as Buckalew had public
ly declared himself hostile to opeuing
the prisou doors of felons, his only
hope was in the election of liurtrunft
who, th-y stated to Y'erkcs, would
be elected by 25,000 majority.
He was further informed that if he
would by implication lead the public
to believe that be never had such deal
ings with Hartranft, as alleged, or de
ov that be ever made the allegation
credited to him, his pardon would cer
taiuly be granted within ten days from
the date of liartranfl's inauguration
as Governor of the Commonwealth.
As drowning men catch at straws, it
is scarcely doubted that this last hope
of sucpor held out was eagerly clutch
ed by Y'erkes, with ii much earnest
ness that the only ring journal iu the
citv was emboldened to come out iu
dcuial of the affidavits, and to openly
proci:::{ them a forgeries. As boom
erangs had to b* abandoned because
they did more mischief btpkvards
than otherwise, so the last invention
of the Mackey-llurtraufl managers
w*ll return to plauge the inventors.
Harlratift luterroiratories
One of tin) WJft curious features of
the political couthct cf thi Jay of
ours is that, iu u local canvass in the
neighboring state of Pennsylvania,
the prass of New York is steadily and
resolutely lalxoiug iu the cause of re
form, while the local republican press
of Penusvlvauia's capital, with a sin
gle exception, has not a word to say.
Yet even io this abstinence there is a
marked distinction. Take for exam
ple the administration organs iu Phil
adelphia. There is there, as every
where, reputable aJ d'sreputable
journalism. We, of course, have *lO j
idea of specifying, but assume this
fact. Disreputable, uuintluential
journalism sustains Jlnrtraufl and his
accomplices in all their deeds of
wrong, and decs it boldlr. Th* l P° r '
lion of the press which is rcsnecUblo,l
professes what may be termed federal
allegiance, adhesion to the administra
tion, and is disiucliued to do anything
whi -h may seem to thwart its views ; j
givea a shame-faccd, half-hearted sup
port to the Hartranlt cause, and, de
fending it ou one really immaterial!
point, passes over all that is vulncra-;
hie, and conceals the actual sore which j
is so foully purulent. Take for exam
pie what may be termed the leading ■
business journal of Philadelphia, the
North American, for which, from long
and friendly sympathy, we can say no
word but of respect. In its columns,
all that is rcfered to iu defense is tho
relatively mild swiudlc of the Evaus
war claim, but not a word al>out the i
Ycrkes combination. The Evans
case, being yet involved in mystery, j
admits of a timid advocacy, although :
tho fact is very patent that in it Hart-1
ranft refused to give up the vouchers !
- ■ out of which tbe fraud grow (if fraud
* there be) until byway oi loan be re
■ ceived from Evans aome $7,000 or
): $7,-">00, which was repaid. It has an
) ugly look, but is not so very bad that
11 tto Jforth American cannot make
> some sort of apology for it. Not ts>
>; the "Yerkes-liartranft-Mnckejr' case.
I j That is too bad and to plain sophistry, |
I and hence on this tiie North Ancri-j
i 1 can, obeying its instincts of decorum,
i is as silent as the grave. It won't in- !
II suit its respectable readers by a de
i fense mi what is indefensible, and
heuce, on this head, is dumb. Now it
occurs to us that such au abnegation
' of duty is hardly reconcilable with
I either strict morality or with what is
' due to the graat business interests
which such a journal justly claims to
represent. Philadelphia cannot af
ford to endure the tyrany of notorious
ly dishonest ineu at Ilnrrisburg, with
no other compensation than the feeble 1
rays of favor which a federal adminis
tration is supposed to shed on it. We
claim for our community—we mean
our busiucss community —no special \
moral prc-cminencc, but it is too wise
ly selfish to fall into nn error like this.
Sure are we that while it would be ut- -
terly impossible that speh a certified ,
malfeasor as Hartranft could be nomi- <
natcd as governor of New York by 1
any party; yet if he were, there would ,
be universal revolt among the business i
incn of the metropolis, und no newspa- j
per, however influential or heretofore ,
respectable, would venture to elude or I
defy it. In such uu omenjency, help 1
and knowldego frotn n distance would i!
not, as in Philadelphia, be needed. <
Deeply interested as we confess our- '
selves to bo in tho great cause of poli- j
tical pud economical reform every- i
where, and uowhere more so that in a *
community where we boast of many j
friends, we now venture ou a rtopyatic t
experiment in politics, and address to '
The Philadelphia North American, '
and through it to the men of business (
it represents, a few precise intcrrogato- '
riee, pledging ourselves to publish any J
categorical answer uud fjtoro any re* t
sponsible quarter, may be given, [for t
facility of reference, we number tho [
questions of our catechism. t
J. Is the practice of the Mackey t 1
HariiauA ring legitimate of leadiug '
the cast) assets of the treasury — c
umouuting to millions—Jx) unknown e
bankers and brokers, some of whom,"
are bankrupt, and one of whom is a ,'j

2 Do men of business —the faithful
executors of public and private trusts n
—approve of tho nudifnr general and f<
state treasurer purchasing state socuri- j) (
ties at a depreciation and selling them
to the sinking fund at nil advance, w
they and their broker sharing the dif- b
fcrenoe as their profits ? y
3 Did the state treasurer, immedi- m
ately before his election tho scconp

4 Is il not ti badge ol fraud tlml till (

Denies or, whet if equivalent, in re- i

0 Is it part of the fuuetion of a Ouu-

cud information for eudi of private
gain—to claim taxation on corporate
capital ui oruer to depress the slock,
end, that failing, to speculate on a
rise, as llartranft did iu the case ofthe
Oil Creek inilroad?
7 Was or nn- not the fraud on the
city treasury of which Mercer aud
Yerkes have been convicted facilita
ted, if not promoted, by the counte
nance given by tho state authorities 7
and did it not result iu deficit iu the
statu treasury which, if at all, was
made up from outside resources?

recommend the pardon of i hnrles 1.
Yerket, leaving tho victim of Manor
without iuterce-sion ? and has not the
pardon thus far been refused, while as
so?sius of ri venue collectors have been
discharged wilaout stint ?
9 Is not the refusal of the govern
or to pardon these nurties a concession
to an aroused public opiuiuu, which
condemns the whole transaction and
all the parties to it — principal* and ac
cessories—those convicted and those at
liberty ?
