CURTIN IN 1872 AND 1878.
We last week re-printed nearly three
columns from the "Democratic * 1
nun" of IST- in which Mr. Meek lauds
ed Cartin to the very skies. *nd l ,r p
nouneedhim in every manner all #u
ject to be taken into the democratic
party and one of whom the party could
feel proud. Our neighbor was right.
The "Watchman" fhrther went on,
and with fiery seal recommended Mr.
Curtin worthy the support of everv
democrat for the important pomuon or
delegate at large to the Constitution*
Convention. Again Mr. Monk's paper
was right, and the Reporter at thi. T.me
spoke in the same vein in favor
of Gov. Curtin, and was proud of his
accession to the democratic ranks.
Now. honest democrats of Centre, if
you could follow the advice of Meek *
Watchman and of the Reporter, in 18.
and give Curtin every vote, and wora
for him so as to make him run ahead of
the ticket, why is not Gov. Curtin now
fully as deserving your support since he
has stood a probation of six years l f
hard labor for the aoecMS of the demo
cratic party in rennsylvnnia and other
states? Say?
If Meek's Watchman, in 1572, when
Curtiu was just over, fresh from the re
publican party, could make it appear
that he deserved a high place iu our
party and rhoud have every democrat:,
vote, how can Gov. Curtin l>e worss
now after six years faithful service iu
the party? Say?
Our neighbor. the Watchman, ** s
wild for Curtia ir> 1*72, as we showed
lroin articles copied in the lteporter last
week, ret in the face of all tha .
that paper refuses to support him now
when ho is the regular democratic nom
inee fo* congress—why s this.' is there
any other reason than simply becaost
Mr. Meek failed to get the nomination:
Isth'.ithe kind of democracy that the
Watchman has been preaching and it
its editor now following his own teach
ings? Far from it.
If there is any one man in Centre
connty who can and shonld put up with
a defeat it is Mr. Meek, tor he has been
better served by his party than any edi
tor or leading democrat in central Penn
sylvania. He has received four terror
in the lower house of the state legisla
ture —doable the usages in this count}
He has received four or five nomina
tions from this county as its choice for
.senator, and his paper, the Watchman,
has been supported by the party, in
princely style .besides, and yet now,
when for once ho is not successful in
getting a nomination, he pouts and re
fuses to give the regular nominee of the
party his support.
Wc repeat, is Mr. Meek living up to
what he had been preaching through
the Watchman, and especially, as to
what be had to say of Curtin in 1572?
Democrats, when there is treachery in
the camp it behooves us to be all the
more vigilant and see that secret
schemes and plans to defeat the ticket,
or part of it, are brought to nanghL
There is no good cause for scratching—
the democratic nominees are all men or
unexceptionable character, and
one was fairly nominated. Democrats
determine that no treason shall strike
down a single nominee. The future ol
the party demands present success. Re
member this important fact, democrats
of Centre, and use all fair means for the
election of every man upon our tick
et.
No good democrat will refuse to vote
for John Spangler for Sheriff. Mr.
Spangier has never flinched in his duty
to the party, and few democrats in the
county can claim as much credit for
useful service. He never flinched,
whether in victory or defeat and was al
ways in the harness hard at work for
tho success of the ticket, saving neither
time nor money. Democrats, now do
your duty towards one who has always
been faithful.
Vote for the honest old farmer, Adam
Yearick, for treasurer, a life loug demo
crat, and a gentleman o? Bpotlees char
acter. Tte people's money will be sale
in such hands, Mr. Yearick belongs to
thejtoilin? masses and is a competent
man for the place.
Mr.fTilden Publishes a Denia
of His Knowledge of The
Cipher Telegrams.
New York, Oct. 17. —Samuel J.Tilden
publishes a card in which referring to
ihe recent cipher telegram publication,
he says that he has no knowledge of
the existence of these telegrams nor any
information about them, except what
has been derived from or since their
publication.
Referring to the alleged attempts to
negotiate for electoral votes in Florida
and South Carolina,he denies all knowl
edge of the existence or purport of any
telegram relating to the subject. He
cites, as evidence, that any action on his
part looking to a bargain of any kind
would have been inconsistent with his
plans, the fact that he had in view a
system of reforms which he could not
have carried out unless he was untram
meled by any commitment in the choice
of men to execute the official trusts of
the government, and free from any ob
ligation to special interests. "I was re
solved to go into the Presidential chair,"
he says, "in full command of my re
sources or not at all."
Gov. Bigler was among the earliest
to suggest the nomination of Gov. Cur
tin as the democratic candidate for con
gress, Gov.Biglcr is one of the purest
democrats in this state, and when in
this county recently asked that it should
be told his numerous friends here, that
the noblest thing the democracy of Cen"i
tre could do, would he to support Curtin
for congress.
Do you want a man of ability who will
bu an honor to the district to go to Con
gress, then vote for Curtin.

The Watchman's excuse, last week,
for rebelling against, the democratu
nomination for congress won't hold was
ter, and is not accepted at all by the
party. Where it brings in Judge lUle,
it shows the weakness of its position.
Judge Hale was not the democratic can
didate; was not nominated by the
democrats; the democratic conference
adjourned without making a nomina*
tion at all because the district then was
hopelessly black, leaving every democrat
free to vote as he pleased. The choice
theu was between Armstrong a rabid
abolitionist and Judge Hale conserva
tive republican and independent candi*
date, and it was simply a choice with
democrats whether they would vote for
Hale as the lesser of two evils, and in
voting for him thus chose the wiser
course, because it resulted in a defeat of
the abolition candidate, which caused a
split among the radicals through which
tho democrats two years afterwards
ware enabled to elect llcnry Sherwood
to con<~?***.
With Curtin it is different—he pro
nounces himself a democrat and for six
years ha- worked hard in our .-artv and
was lauded to the skies by the Match*
man itself only three months after he
was in the party as can be seen from
the Watchman articles which we repub
lished last week and this week.

DID ALL THAT COULD BE
ASKED.
The in Congress have done
everything, says the Tyrone Democrat,
any reasonable member of the so-called ,
National party could have asked or ex
pected. The Democratic llouse passed
the bill repealiug the resumption act; it
originated and passed the bill re mone
tizing silver, it passed a bill making
greenbacks receivable for cn-"om duties;
it passed the bill originated by Senator
rhurtuan requiring the Pacific railroad
corporations to settle with the goveru
v->'n ; it substitute 1 a bond at a low rate
of interest for some of the bonds bearing j
a high rate: and last but not least, it ,
lightened the burden of federal taxation I
to the extent of eighty-eight millions of I
dollars in three years. Thus have the
Democratic representatives :n Cong-ess j
'ultille<l the pledges of their party to j
the people. Should not such fidelity to
the public interest an t such zealous de
votion to the cause of the workingman
be rewarded by the confidence of a
grateful people .'
Will democrats allow Cameron's
money and hired pimps to take tny
votes from Gov. Curtin in this county ?
We trust not. Cameron has done more
to cheat the democratic party of this
state out cf elections than any other
dozen men in it. He has now got hired
tools at work in this county to work for
Curtin's defeat.
When Cameron stands against Cartin,
.uid such democrats as Buckalew, Rigler
Dill, Black, and others for Curtin, no
good democrat will be found aiding
and secretly working with Cameron.
Gov. Curtin's speeches in the last six
years are as full of democracy as those
of any of our old leaders. Democrats,
stand by Curtin, the regular nominee of
your party.

HOYT AND KEHOE.
THE REPUBLICANS OR PENNSYLVANIA TO
SUSTAIN THE PURCHASE OR THE MOLLY
MAGL'LRK VOTE.
The death warrant of Jack Kehoe has
not been issued and if it should be is
sued will be followed by a reprieve from
the governor after the election. The re
publican politicians are trading on the
life of the convicted man and they take
their cue from the corrupt bargain and
4ale engineered by their candidate, Col.
Hoyt, in 1875, when he was chairman of
the* Republican State Committee. We
will let Mr. J. H. 1-ambert, the staff cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Times,
tell the story. Mr. 1 ambert in writing
to the Times from Pittsburg, under date
of October 10, says:
"It is a fact that the important ques
tion of buying this vote (the Molly Ma
guire) with money was discussed at
length and earnestly by the republican
-itate committee in the campaign of 1879.
The proposition for the purchase as pre
sented to the committee met with op
position from a few of the members,
notably Mr. Wo. H. Kemble, of Phila
delphia, who vigorously protested
against the permanent disgrace and in
jury which such action, if consummated
would bring upon the republican party.
He was voted down, however, by a con
siderable majority of the members, and
a fund of between four and live thous
and dollars was immediately provided,
which was passed over, through Gen.
Siegfried and other local politicians of
.Schuylkill, to work its infamous purpose.
Col. Henry M. Hoyt, the present repub
lican candidate for governor, was chair
man of the state committee which de
cided upon this policy and provided the
money. He will not deny the accuracy
ot thin statement, nor will any member
of bis committee of that year.''
This statement puts the responsibili
ty for the purchase of the Molly Ma- 1
guire vote for Hartranft in 1875, through
tho agency of Jack Kehoe and his con
ferees, ui>on Henry M. Hoyt. This is a |
part of his record. It is a record, too,
which ho cannot dispute or explain.
The money raised by the statu commit
tee of which Hoyt was chairman was
paid to Jack Kehoe by Gen. higfricd ol
Schuylkill county who to-day holds of
fice under Hartranft and who is the
bosom friend of Hoyt This fact was
proved under oath upon the Molly Ma
guire trials. When even so thorough
paced a partisan as William H. Kemble
recoiled from the proposition which
was afterwards carried into effect by
Hoyt and his committee it may be un
derstood how disgraceful and revolting
it was. Now, according to Mr. Lambert,
the Hoyt managers are actively engag
ed in an effort to repeat the corrupt and
infamous bargain of 1875 with the Molly
Maguires. The new contract is basel
on the life of Jack Kehoe. A fellow by
the name of J. J. Gallagher, of M'Kees
port, has been procured to go among
Irishmen to represent that in order to
save Jack Kehoe from the gallows they
must vote the greenback ticket. As the
Irish vote is chiefly democratic the pur
pose of Gallagher's employers is to di
vert it if possible from Mr. Dill. They
know they cannot get it for Hoyt. But
their fraudulent and desperate scheme
has been exposed and will certainly fail.
All that Hoyt and his managers will
take by this "atrocious trick will be the
humiliation and disgrace they deserve.
If decent republicans mean to vote con
sistently for a republican candidate for
governor they had better recall their
convention and place another name at
the head of the ticket.
Who railed the salaries of legislature
and congressmen? It was the Cameron
party, and now it opposes Curtin because
ho opposes their plunder schemes.

DEMOCRATS LOOK AT THESE TWO PICTURES !
AMI) DECIDE 11KTWKKN THEM 11
[From Dent Watchmen, Oct. IK, IH7H |
TO THE DKMOCRATI Of THE COOETY
It is well known to every reader of the
WA I CM MAX that since It bar Amo the prop
erty of it* ptesent proprietor in IHO'2, It has
at ell timer and under all circumstances,
been strictly a Democratld paper. It has
supported no man for poMiUn! position
whom it did not know to he a Democrat
from principle It has favored tha success
of no measure that it did not believe to bo
purely and consistently Democratic, and
it will pursue the same course as long a* it
is under the control of its present owner.
When the Democratic conferees of the
congreriiorial district of which this county
then formed a part, nominated Judgo
Hale In 1K62, we neither hoisted his aaino
nor supported him, because we did nut
know him to be a Democrat. When the
"Nalienal ' Democratic Convention at
Baltimore endorsed Horace (Jrteley as iu
candidate for President in IST'i, we neith
er put up bis name nor supported bliu, be
cause we knew he wa* not a Democrat.
Whethsr wa were right, is for thoee to say
who remernbar the result of those two
nominations—the former succeesful, and
then voting against avery measure and
principla of tbe Democracy, the letter de
feated, and in his defeat dragging the par
ty down to a disgraceful demoralisation
from which it has not yet fully recovered.
Tbe same reason* that controlvsi our a>
tion in 18(i2, and in ltfTi. govern our couise
in the present congressional Contest in tbi*
district. Wo have act hoisted the name
of Gov. Curtin, or supported him for tbe
simple reaaon that us Jo uui Anew or un
derstand AIM fobs a Dlnocrat.
In order that Democrats, who faal as do
the editors of tbe WATCHMAN on tbi* sub
ject, could consistently and conscientious
ly suppert the nominee, we asked of gen
tlemen who attended and took part in tba
work of tbe district conference Ibal nomi
nated Gov. Curtin, and wo have asked of
hit friends since, that they get his pledge,
that, if elected, he will go into the Demo
cratic congressional caucus, take part in
iu deliberations and submit to and be
guided by it* decisions, and that he will
vote as the Democratic people believe tbe
Pituburg platform to mean—against land
grants, subsidies or government aid of
any kind to steamship, railread or other
corporations.
As yet they have not complied with our
request, and wa make this statement In or
der that tha public, and tbe readers of the
I WATCHMAN in particular, may under
stand why the name of Gov. Curtin, as the
] IK mines for Cengress, does not appeer
i With the 1 ,!* .ce of the ticket at the head
of the WATCHMAN.
Whenever the pledges above asked are
furnished us in writing, we will be willing
for tbe time to forget the pest, with all iu
bitter recollections, and do eur best to to
cure for him as full a Democratic vote as
any other candidate upon the tlrkt w.ll
receive.
THE DUTY OF THE HOUR
The democrats of Centre county, by,
the course taken by the editor of the
tV ifc/iman, are called upon to perform an:
important duty from which they should'
not shrink or falter. The question to be
decided is whether the party or Mr.
Meek is to be supreme —whether he, in
right of his editorship of the would-be
party organ in the county, shall have
the exclusive right to dictate whom the
party shall nominate and support, and;
whom it shall not. If he is to have the
right to demand written pledgee from
Gov. Curtin, why not also from every;
candidate on the ticket from Governor
to Auditor? No such ground was ever
taken by him heretofore, and wo can see
no reason for it now. Either tho
ll'oldiMan is a democratic paper, or It is,
not. If it is, then its bounden duty as
such is to support those men whom the
party, iu its wisdom, places in nomina
tion for the respective offices, regardless
of the personal feelings or grievances of 1
tho editor; bat if it is not a democratic)
paper, then the path of duty is straight)
and democrats should not only refuse
to follow its advice, but should look
upon it with the greatest suspicion, for;
the deadliest foe is always the one who)
professes friendship for the purpoee of
placing himself in a position to strike;
the more fatally.
No one, not even Mr. Meek, contends
that Gov. Curtin was unfairly nominate
ed or that he is not the regular and duly
appointed candidate of the party. In
this county, after an animated contest
the conferees were not only instructed
for him, but he received a largo majori
ty of the popular vote cast at the dele
gate elections, and in the district con
ference he not only received a majority
of all the conferees but at least three,
fourths of them were personally In favor
of his nomination and believed that in
so doing they were fulfilling the de*
mands of the party in the district, Such
being the case, what should be the dnty
of a party editor, but] to lay aside bis
personal preferences for the good of the
party—that at least would be the action
of a patriotic democrat, one who had the
welfare of the party at heart.
Now what are the reasons assigned
for the Watchman's refusal to support
Curtin ? Let us examine ihem as they
are set forth in the last issue of that pam
per. The first is "for the simple reason
that tie (the editor of tho Watchman) do
not know or understand him to lea demo
rrat." This certainly ia a startling asser
tion to be made by one who has been
most persistent in urging and maintain
ing and asserting Gov. Curtin's demo
cracy ever since 1872, by one who sup
ported him as a delegate at large to tho
Constitutional Convention on the demo
cratic ticket, and who did all in hiß
power to secure his nomination for
Vice President at St. Louis iu 1876. For
six years Gov. Curtin has been identi
fied with the democratic party and no
othm. Luring all that time Mr. Meek has
found no occasion to question his demo
cracy until now—on the contrary he'has
always defended it. But let ussee what
the Watchman itself has said on tbissub
ject. In its issue of March 10, 1876, in
reply to an article in the Watsontenen
Record, it said: "It (the H'ufrfcmnn) re
fused to support Greeley for the simple
reason that he was not a democrat, and
was not worthy democratic support. It
farors Curtin became itt editor KNOWS that
on every issue that can enter into the
coming campaign, and every important
question the next administration will be
expected to act upon, he is just as GOOD
A DEMOCRAT AS THERE 18 IN ANY
COMMONWEALTH OF THE COUN
TRY." These are the Watchman's own
words. Now the democrats of Centre
would like to know what act Gov. Cur
tin has committed since 1876 that should
lead any one to believe that he is not {
"just as good a democrat" now, as he {
was then. We certainly know of none;
perhaps the IVa/c/iman does. But unless
it can, we hold that if Gov. Curtin was
worthy of democratic support in 1878 be
is in 1878.
Again Mr, Meek rofueee to eupport 1

Meek wrote the resolution nominating
• Curtin for Vice President in DCfl. Now
t he says Curtin is not a democrat.'
• If Gov. Curtin was a gi>od democrat
• enough for Vice President in IP7B. is he
1 not good enough to go to Congress in
I 187: ?
Curtin because no written pledges have!
been given to the WofcAmosi that if]
elected, "he will go into the democratic 1
! congressional caucus, take part in its
.deliberations and submit to and be]
guided by its decisions," and that be will
vote "against land grants, subsidies or!
government aid of any kind to steam
ship, railroad or other corporations.",
'This, certainly is nnnsual ground for a
pprty organ—even fbr the lla/cAman to i
take. We will venture to assert, with
out an examination, that no such ground'
was ever taken by Mr. Meek heretofore,
that no such pledges were required of]
|Mr. Mackey when he was a candidate,
and that nonesuch were demanded by
or given to him by either the candidates,
for Legislature or for fltate Senator. Why
then shonld auch a demand be made
from Mr. Curtin ? Is he such a doubtful
'character that his word cannot be be
lieved, and that an extraordinary and|
unheard of rule should be applied to]
him and to no one else on the ticket?!
IjSball be be compelled to give written'
.pledges to any and every editor in the
district? The very statement of such a
proposition shows its absurdity and un
reasonableness. Hut Gov. Curtin baa
spoken in no uncertain sound on both
these points. Both before and since his
nomination be bss stated time and again
that he ia in hearty accord with the
principles enunciated in the democratic
platform, and he is doing all in his
Ipower to promote the success of our
{ticket. This is the only test ever re
quired of Mr. Meek or any other demo
crat ever nominated. It is the only one
the people demand, and if sufficient for
them it should be for Mr. Meek. When
elected, Gov. Curtin will undoubtedly
enter the democratic caucus and act with
the party as he lias done on every occa
sion for more than six years past, and
who that knows him is not convinced
that he will not speak and vote and use
his influence against every measure that
will in any wa* tend to oppress the
laborers and tax-payers of the land.
The democratic platform speaks In no
uncertain voice on this point, and Gov.
Curtin's past record epeaks even in
louder tones than the platform.
much for the reasons given for re
fusing to support Gov. Curtin. They
are groundless and a mere pretext, to
cover the real reason, personal chagrin
and private disappointment at being
unable to secure that which would have
gladdened the heart of every loyal scion
of the House ofCameron in the State—
the defeat of Gov. Curtin's nomination.
But on the other hand by refusing to
support Curtin lie in a manner asks
democrats to support Yocum.anisn who
never voted anything hut a Republican
ticket, who has never acted with our
party, but always against us. Is this
democratic —is he a democrat? We
leave the question to Mr. Meek for de
cision.
The democratic papers of Clinton and
Clearfield warmly endorse the nominas
tion of C. T. Alexander for Senator.
Both these counties will give him the
full party vote. Caldwell, his competitor
will have a poor show when the returns
come in.
The republican majority in Ohio,
where it used to be so great, has come
down to the edge of nothing, letting
alone that the rads lost several congress
men.
The returns from all the counties ex
cept Washington and reliable unofficial
figures from that county makes Barnes'
(republican) plurality for secretary of
state, .1,154.
Jeff Davis, jr., only son of Jeff Davis,
aged 21, died of yellow fever, a few days

CtflTIE ATFEAEILIE
We make the following extracU from a
•peeoh delivered by; flov. Curtin, at the
*rat democratic meeting, at Franklin,
I'u , lail week :
Beginning of Our Miafortunca.
In iHiilt, Congress pasted an act which
Grant signed which wa* the beginning of
our trouble. Pawed under the Influence
of Welt street in New York and Third!
•treot In Philadelphia, and Oranl the aol-j
dior—whom everybody respected, signed |
the bill violating the contract by which
the bonds were to he paid in currenry and
then demonetised silver.;
In 1H73 when Jay Cook failed and ev
ery thing looked blue, tbey pawed anoth
er act in favor of the money power. Un
fortunately the Dreiets and lha Hlrgle
mans have had too much to say in tbe
Guvernwient.
Congress in following February paed
the specie payment bill compelling tLu,
inuuediete resumption, which they could 1
no more do at once than they could eoui-j
man J the waters in tbe river* to return P>
the mountains.
This contraction is felt in every nerve
and fiber of the country, and (rem the
Government in Washington not one word
of consolation or comfort comes At last
the people ia their calamity have gone off
from the great parties for relief- I find
Hoyt declares for hard money. 1 find in
the platform at Pittsburgh (Democratic!
that gold, silver and national currency,
shall be tbe currency of the country. 1
find that Andrew 11. Dill, tbe Democratic
candidate, has given that part of the plat
form a liberkl construction, which will
give a currency to relieve suffering labor.
Chase conceived the Idea of issuing
greenbacks to carry out tbe war.
It was not the bonds that fought tbe
war, it was the legal tender. That was
the circulating medium. The bondhold
ers bought the bonds with tbat money and
it is not the bondholders place to com
plain. I do not know whether Mr. Dill
is in fever of what 1 am to say next or not,
but I am. lam in favor of the Govern
ment issuing a bond of a small denomina
tion at a low rata of interest, that tbe pea
| pie may put their money into that, and
| not be robbed by these bank failures. Six
teen thousand depositors In one tank in
[Chicago, the other day, were swindled. 1
am for low bonds '.hat citizens may knowl
that it is safe. The Government is pater -
nal ; it should protect these poor men who
never get inside of a bank parlor. The
remedy ii so safe and simple that 1 am
amazed it is not adopted.
My Greenback friend, we agree, exceitt
you are scattering your fire. I am shooting
right at the bell. I expect to bring my
bird down. (Applause), Don't be afra d
of being called a renegade ; you are a
renegade now. The Republicans surd
on hard money ; bard to get, God knows.
Applause). Dill is an excellent little
| man. Dili, 1 know him well. My trier J
Mason, 1 would like him to come in too.
j, Applause). I understand a man who is
against his Government to be a traitor
I but does party override your duty to your
j country ?
Democrat* Did Nobly in the War.
j Patriotism it not confined to Mercer
county, where you have your friends at d
' vour home ; it ia not in one party alone,
and was not so during the war. I knew
! something about that, having had s< m
'thing to do with it (Applause). I put
; the flag into the hands of '/75,0tW men.
; Fifty thousand, great, strong Pennsylva
nians went down to death, and when our
State was threatened *7,000 more rejond
*d. I handed that flag to one regiment cf
WW from Northampton eounty, and eve y
man in that regiment was a Democrat.
Applause.)
| I know the war struck the great heart of
' the people in Pennsylvania. You will not
find in any proclamation or message of
: mine any opprobrious epithet, no refer
ence to Copperheads or anything like
! that. Every measure for sustaining that
j war passed the Legislature by a unani-l
mout vote- (Great applause.) Political
partt**, my friends, are not given to fight
ing. (Laughter 1 No .States but Rhode
Island and Kansas furnished so many men
as we did. We gave one in seventeen.
| New York gave one in twaaty-two, and
wa made no boast of it. But I thought the
war was over. I have had enough of St.
1 was at Chambersburg and Fredericks
burg, and hare witnessed the devastation
which It caused. The soldiers who fought
; against our army for three days, barefoot
ed and without very much to eat, shook
; hands when they were conquered, be
cause they were American citizens. And
now same men tell us wc must fight the
; war over again once a year. Sumner is in
bis grave and Greeley is gone. They were
I both for peaee. And where is Trumbull,
land Palmer, and Julien, and the living
lights of this ones great party? My
frieads, just where I am. (Applause.)
No one knew the distress'of our people
better than 1 did, blood upon every door
ster, and crape in every church. I saw
to-day in the Soldiers' orphan school the
children, and each orphan represented a
good man dead. Now tbey

who wanted the war to go on ; men who

Seventy-five thouaand of tbera went in at
Utrrisburg. A man inquired of Dr.
Rutherford in Harri.burg where he could
buy a good horae. The doctor told him
be couldn't buy a bad one in all that
neighborhood, for the bad onca were alt in
the army.
It was the ring men wanted the war to
