Let the radical slanderer* of Andy
smell that.

(learv's majority, three veare ago,
was 4396 ; no democrats have left
their party ; while thousands of repub
licans came over to the democratic
ranks by which their party was mate
rially weakened, yet they wair a ma
jority for the ring candidate of 20,000.
Can fraud and the work of repeat
ers stick out more clearly *
-. + ♦
The democracy of Centre eounty
need not go up Salt River, as they
have routed the rads at home so badly
• —least of all the democracy of Penns-
valley, who have acquitted themselves
so nobly, by rolling up increased ma
jorities in the townships over here.
We, at all event*, do not intend going
up, but will stay down and talk to
the rads as saucy as ever, and pick
our flint and fight 'em again. (
Let them have it again, boys, in
November.
At Bellefonle, we are informed,
twenty-five negroes voted the radical j
ticket, who had never been seen'tbere
before, and as one of the instances to
show how "it was done*' in Philadel
phia, we copy the following election
item :
"Reddy, the Blacksmith," from
New York, was arrested here after
voting three times, and locked up for
a further hearing. Fifteen tar re
ceipts were found on him.
In the Fourth ward, the strongest
Democratic ward in the city, an bour
!v announcement of the votes cast,
-how that more Republican votes
have been cast than are usually poll
ed during the whole day.
" ■■■ • ♦ "■ ■
Tho Pennsylvania Liberals.
The democracy of this state, have
no reason to find fault.with the liber
als, when viewing the result of the
late election. They performed their
duty patriotically, and a* men who de
sired an honest state government, out
which would be free from the influen-,
ccf* of unholy rings.
The liberals worked eveu harder for I
the election of Buckalew than the
democrats themselves, and he was the
idol of our party. An honest vote \
would show a majority for Buckalew
of not less than 25,000. This we t
firmly believe. For the radical ma-1
jority, at last governor's election, was
small, only 4596, and this year the
democracy were united to a man,
while the radicals were torn by di
mensions and their best men left tbeir
ranks, by thousands, to joiu with the
democracy in the election of Cbas. R.
Buckalew and to drive from power
Iho Hartranft-Cameron ring which
has been robbing the state treasury of
millions.
We repeat, in this good and patri
otic work, the liberals -have proven
true, and added to the largely increas
ed vote polled by tbe democracy at
the recent election, but fraud, repeat
ing, bribery, and tbs other appliances
commonly made use of by tbe radicals
to carry elections, have succeeded
against the wish of an ;hont major
ity.
All honor to the liberals; they
have proven true to tbeir alliance
with the democracy,-and have proven
themselves the friends of honesty and
reform.
RADICAL .SPITE AT CI*RTIX
The malignity and petty -pile of some
Bc-ileibnte radicals against Andrew 0. Cur
tin. knows no bounds. Xo epithet is too
vile too be applied to tbe dhtinruLhcd
gentleman, by the "God and morality" ra
dicals. And why? because bis conscience
revolted at the idea of again handing over
the state to the Cameron ring plunderer*.
With vile tongues they are abusing Mr.
Curtin for being true to his native state,
while with Briarean arms they are up to
< heir elbows in the public treasury.
To vent their spleen against Mr. Curtin,
two Bellcfonte radicals voted for him for [
Recorder- and let it'be recorded Andrew
G. Curtin, the "war Governor," can not be
touched by shots aimed so low, neither is
he made of the kind of maierial that would i
fret over such petty spite, coming even 1
from two dignitied (?) radicals. Mr. Cur
tin still live-, and without any effort on
Ms part or en the part of any one else, he
ran ahead of the ticket in every ward in i
Bellcfonte, notwithstanding tbe most bitter I
personal fight made against him by the ra- <
diesis. ,
In Lcwisburg this petty -pite was -how u
against Mr. ijiifer, by two vte- being cast
for him for Coroner.
The radicals have a falsehood ngoirig, (
saying that the democratic majority in old
Centre wa? reduced and that Curtin's join- *
iag us is what did it. Now the fact >•=, the
democratic majority in this county, this
year, is 4'2U, while at the preceeding gov- |
ernor's election it was only X 2, as will be
seen by the tablos published in another C
pvlumn. We like such reduction. t
Tlw Corner in Oil.
A correspondent of the World, ou
ting troin *>il Citv, October 7, says :
It it not surprising in the unparal
led political excitement that bu exist
ed throughout this State, that one ol
the most colossal industrial move
ments of the prweut age has had claim
to but a meager amount of iuterest, I
refer to the great protective move
ment of the operator# in the Pentiayl
| vania oil-field in the matter ol sus
pending the production of petroleum,
uu event which must necessarily af
fect the interests of thousands upon
thousands of people both of this and
foreign couutrics. The p -riod of this
suspension is thirty days, and its ob
ject an iurrcase of the price ol oil, the
production having become so great
and money so scarce that petroleum
dropped to a figure disastrous to the
•otirc producing trade. Oil was sell
ing at the insignificant figure of $2.50
barrel, and the intention was and is to
raise it to $5 and mniulaiu it at that
sum. When the matter was first
broached there were many oslier* of
oil wells who declined to enter into
the movement, some through fear that
a cessation in the working of these
wells would seriously affect their | to
ducliou; others that they might em
brace the opportunity of making cap
ital from their neighbors' inUfortune--
for an immediate advance in the price
of oil upon the diminishing of the yield
aw- a foregone conclusion. However,
those at the head of this great scheme
upon eutering upou it were convinced
that the movement to be successful
and realixe the ftillest expectations
must be general, and therefore they re
solved that it should be so, without re
gard to what means was found necessa
ry to bring it about. Protective un
ion- were quickly organized, and the
movement gaining great strength the
purposes of the men were boldly her
alded throughout the regiou. Notice
was giveu to every producer ajjd quiet
subtuissiou was advised to avoid com
pulsory measures, which would be re
sorted to iu the eveut of the failure of
the former. At the given time the
majority of the wells, numbering per
haps 1,000 or 1,200, ceased working,
but it *> echoed from the neighbor
hood of Parker's Landing that there
were producers who refused to suc
cumb, ai d were indifferent to auv ac
tion the others might think bt to
adopt. That same night half a dozen
wells were burned by a large body of
men, and on the following day Rouse
ville, another place of rebellion, was
visited bv a gang of 500 nieu, headed
by a band of music, who marched ov
er the entire district aud closet! thirty
wells' The same sort of pursuasion
was brought to bear iu other districts
and with singularly successful effect
on the suspension of oil welts. In
some instances the well-owners were
indignant beyoud measure, and forci
bly resisted the actiou of these men,
but with no avail, and though the Gov
ernor was called on for assistance no
attention, thus far has been paid to
the call. At Petroleum Centre and
St. Petersburg there were well-owners
who stnbbornly refused to join the
movement, but on Saturday eveuing
last wisely kuocked under and .suspen
ded operations at their wells. There
are some wells on the Foster farm still
Cumping; but these are expected to
noes off by to-morrow, so that by the
middle of the week there will not be
an oil well producing any material
supply of oil in the entire regiou bor
dering on the Allegheny River, from
Brady's Bend to Tionesta, and on
Oil Creek, from Oil City to Titusville.
But a few weeks ago 2D.000 barela per
day was the yield of this region ; to
day it is hardly possible that so much
as 400 barrels is produced. What a
queer aspect this place presents to what
it did a short week ago. Then the air
was filled with the black smoke of bi-
luminous coal, ami by night and bv
day the creak of walking-beams dinn
ed the air wherever in this section
one might venture. All was bustle
and confusion. Train after train on
the branches of the different railroads
left here ladeu with the greasy fluid,
and all day long trains of wagons tra
versed the roads transporting petrole
i um from the wells to the retineries and
the depots. Now it seems as if it was
ever Sunday; the clatter of the en
gines is hushed, and the air is free of
smoke and dust. Look where you
will groups of laboriug men are seen
conversing on that all-absorbiog
theme, the great strike, while the hill
sides are thickly dotted with idle hor
ses and mules. Think of hundreds
and hundreds of wells that threw out
fluid with which the world was fed
light, now quiet in their idleuess, and
their product, worth millions of money
lying in the ground apparently in
waste. This town is overrun with
men out of employment, many of them
with scarcely enough money to keep
them in food, vet they are hopoful and
as a general thing are in sympathy
with tbeii employers in the great
movement. But oue reform they pro
pose if ibis strike is successful. At a
recent meeting they resolved that as
it is show n by the vote of the producers
that it does not injure wells to shut
down for thirty days, that we, as work
ing-men, ask tiieiu to obey the laws of
God and our country by suspending
all drilling and pumping of wells on
Sunday. In a few weeks it is confi
dently hoped that in this region the
skies will be much brighter than
DOW, and that financial affairs
will be on a sounder basis thau ever
before. The effect of this suspension
has already been felt. Oil that a few
weeks ago was offered at $2.. l >o, can't
be purchased to-day for 84.
Death or William If. Seward.
Auburn, N. V., Oct. 10.—Hon.
William 11. Seward died at his resi
dence in this city at quarter pas' three
o'clock this afternoon. He was takm
ill on Wednesday of last week with
ague nud fever, aod latterly a catarrh
al affection set in. The immediate
cause of his death was a catarrhal ef
fusion of the lungs. His family were
all with him with the exception of his
two sons, Augustus and Frederick,
the former of whom is in Minnesota
and the latter at his home on the Hud
son.
Yesterday morning 31 r. .Seward
rode out and in the afternoon he dicta
ted several items about his new liook
relative to his recent travels, which
he has been engaged in writing for
some time past, in fact be was consid
ered in no immediate dauber until
about eleven o'clock last night. Me
retained his senses to the lost and died
in full possession of those sterling fac
ulties which have for years marked
the life of William If. Seward. He
died as one dropping into a peaceful
slumber. His age was seventy-one
years last April.
The President has appointed Thurs
day 23th November, as a day of

Monday's trains on the New Jersey

included many persons wrll known to
the police—Hull Mulliua aud Hull

McGowan of Twenty-eecond Ward ;
and there were Third avenue ear rueu
, and men from Fulton and Washing

gang that would inspire terror nay*
'where out of New \ork.
OKI' KOR rillUtiKU'lllA.
The gangs started for the t'ortlandl
street ferry in group* of twenty or
twent v-five. Nearly all went on the
latter trains, some not starting until
midnight. On this train was a col*
lection of perba]* seventy-live. Sonic
of thtm were drunk, hut the majority
were somewhat sober, the leaders try
ing to keep the rum out of them un
til they had got through voting for
Hartrauft.
HARTKANKT'H POLICE.
This train arrived at Philadelphia
about 4 o'clock yesterday morning,
and there it was boarded bv police
officers Jwho went through the cars,
laughing or sneering!)- asking where
the repeaters were, as though they did
not see the gang getting otf the train
at all points. These policemen were
evidently under pav from the Jfart
rauft committee Jo koep up Bp|ear
auces, two or three of the repeaters
were subjected to a mock arrest of a
few minutes.
"What are you doing here *" said
an officer to a ragged rough.
"1 just come ou for a little fun,''
was the reply.
"And I suppose there must be five
thousand of you here altogether," mid
the officer. "I suppose you want to
vote early. Get out o' here ! ' aud
the prisoner was discharged.
By this timo a few of the men were
so druuk that they were locked up to
prevent them from blindly injuring
their friends.
OK THE REPEATERS
IN PHILADELPHIA.
Tho midnight New York gang were
escorted in Philadelphia to the rooms
of the Republican Invincible*, 208
North street. Here were to be found
most of the tneu from the Tenth and
Fourteenth Wards of New York. The
entire New York delegation numbered
about 500 men, or 5,000 votes, for near
ly all the nieu engaged * tic adept* in
the business, and all the more anxious
to get to work ou accouut of their tern
pory loss ofemployment for the jiast
tew months.
Several of the Inviucibles were at
their headquarters, aud their congeni
al New York frieuds were taken to the
neighboring hotels and saloons for
breakfast, all at the expense of the of
ficeholders.
When this was over it was about
time to begin voting for Hartranft.
THE PRINTED REGISTRY.
At tbe Invincipble headquarters
was a printed copy of the register of
voters of each district. This boak was
ftresided over by a big nuu with a
ong beard, and a barely perceptible
smile on bis face. He deftly plied a
pair of shears. These and tbe t>ook
comprised tbe machinery for making
a citi.cn of Philadelphia and a voter
—for Hartranti. talking n slip from
tbe book it was handed to some New
York thief, who smiled to find him
self transformed into
Kliiba Smith, merchant, UPS Arch Stmt,
or whatever else the slip might indi
cate. Shoulder-bitters, became men
of this, that, or the other trade or pro
fession, and found themselves possess
ed of more names than they ever had
aliases.
now THEY VOTED.
When a man had received his name
he was steered to a polling place, and
when he came away there had
been registered one more vole for
Hartranlt. Then back to his employ
ers, who dubbed themselves and their
native companions with fictitious
names, seeming to doubt the maxim,
"There is no honor among thieves."
When a man had had a little real, a
drink, and a cigar, he received anoth
er printed slip, became somebody else,
and —another vote for liartranft.
The repeaters were generally voted
in knots of two or three.
There was very little trouble. Many
Democratic inspectors had been
bought, and the challenging of the re
peater's vote was done more for a joke
than anything else. "What's your
name? Where do you live ? What's
your occupation ?" uud the repeater
described himself as per printed slip,
and, if he voted for ilartranft, his vote
was accepted.
A few sturdy friends of Buckalew
were active in attempting to prevent
the fraudulent voting, but the work
had been so well planned, and it was
so systematically carried out, that op
position was almost entirely futile.
ROL. M'CJ.LRK POWERLESS,
Late yesterday morning a man who
was thoroughly justed on the repeat
ing business called on the gallant
Col. Mot'lure at the Liberal head
quartern.in Philadelphia to inform
him of the gigantic frauds lieing per
petrated. Col. M'Clure wan restive,
he knew no well that an honest vote
would elect Buckalew, and he knew
no well the means being used against
him. Jfo was fully aware of the ex
tent of the repeaters' operations, hut
said:
"What can I do? My hands are
tied, aud I can do nothiug. If we ar
rest these men they are at once dis
charged, and that emboldens them to
even greater frauds than they had com
mitted before. They sec at once that
being promptly discharged, tliey are
perfectly protected by the authorities,
aud to arrest them only makes tlieni
worse."
OTHER OA Nils.
Several cities were represented by
| gangs of repeaters. Baltimore sent a
good-sized delegation, and several
Western.cities were represented. The
preliminary arrangements, ilm gath
ering of the clans, and the disposition
of the repeaters reflect the highest
credit on the business capacity of the
committee who managed it. Old
New York repeaters, tjjpgs who had
supposed themselves thoroughly pro
fioient in the business of repeating,
express themselves astonished by the
completeness of the arrangements for
carrying out the fraud on honest peo
ple of Pennsylvania, and they cheer-'
fully throw up the sponge to their
more corrupt, bretlicru in PhiliaJel
pbia who support Grant and Hart
ranft.

of old, surrendering them only when the ,
last gallant heart had gone out in death.!,
There i- something unutterably grand!,
and uplifting comes into the soul of|,
the soldier himself in the supreme moment |
of mortal combat which elevates him above ,
all care or regard of danger, even whilst],
the death "hotsare crushing the bones of;
bis comrades i round him. It is not these, I,
either the man in the easy chair or the sol- |
dier even, though hot from battle, that)
shall detail to you the truest sto-y of thei,
horror* of war. But you shall hear it in f
the wail of the orphan ; in the widow* dis- ,
pairing cry : ' Oh God will lie never cotjm i
back in the terrific cry for bread which ,
resounded through the street* of Paris in ,
the day* ol the uprising of the fearful com- „
inline, and in the deiulation and woe en- ,
tailed upon those who were in nowise re- ~
sponsible for the war, hut whom it has he L
reft of all that was dear in life and all that ! r
gave existence a purpose. „
I thought ef these things as we sped by t
village and hamlet and across long strech- s
es of open country upon which hut sore- v
cenilv I,"id marshalled the host* of war. *
And as Tleaned against the window, lost f
in rev cry, darkness closed around us, the t
night lamps were hung out, am} just when I
the boulevards were most crowded, and 11
the saloons were most brilliant and tho I,
denigensof the free und.easy capital were at o
their highest enjoyment, we rode into the w
massive <{epot i!"' metropolis of b
