Hoyt is elected governor and Jack Ke
hoe feels much easier now. He knows
he'll not hang. What a fine thing for a
Mollie murderer to have the "old man
at Harrisburg" on his side.

Well, Mr. Thomas was chairman of th
little side-show, and there is something
in that.
In the Sheriff, the democrats
did it up Brown last week, and the Cur

The democrats and greenbackers of

This is a snub for Cameron, as Uunitng

The Watchman is asking for some one

Of the working of the Kehoe buaineas
the ruuburf Poet says: I-uierne (in
eluding Uckawanna) is reported 7.000
for Hojt. Thie is astoniahing. as the
county gave Tiiden over S,(k*o majority
two years ago. An explanation of it may
be found in the secret operations of the
Republican managers with the Mollis
Maguires and other eecret societies in
terested in sating Jack Kehoe from the
gallows. This was the leter by which
floyt made his gr#t gains in the an
thracite region. In 1875 he helped
Hartranft through with this same class
by the use of pardons and money, di
rectly treating with Kehoe. ltwasonly
a reciprocal act of friendship, therefore,
for Hartranft to awing the gallows before
the ignorant and degraded as away to
make votes for Hoy t. Hereafter, in all
important electoral struggles, we judge
the Republicans wilt find it to their con
renience and profit to have a Mollie un
der death sentence or in the States
prison for trading purposes. It will be
come a recognized institution in our
State politic*. We know of men whose
votes were influenced by Kehoe's per*',
who could not be bought with money.
The damning dishonor Hartranft has
heaped on himself by this business, will
consign his name to historic infamy.
Already as he isaboot quitting the Gov
ernor's office, Republican journals are
preparing to open their batteries on
him for his share in the Kehoe conspira
cy.
In an interview with a reporter of the
New York Evening Post on Friday, rel
ative to the cipher dispatches, Ex-Con
gressman Hewitt, who was chairman ol
the Democratic National Committe in
1876, said :
I never received any cipher despatches
from Florida, and could not have trans
lated them it I had.
I have examined the amount of ex
penditures made daring the elector can
vass with my knowledge or under mv
direction as Chairman of the National
Committee, and find that daring the
whole period intervening between the
day of the election and my resignation
as Chairman on the 4th of March follow
ing. the whole amount did not exceed
$15,0U0, and this amount consists of
items which I am ready and willing to
show. From beginning to end I reso
.utely refused to make any expenditure
or to entertain any proposition looking
to any expenditure designed to in
fluence the vote of any Presidential
elector.
Relative to the resumption of specie
payments the Washington Star says that
it can be stated on good authority that
▼hen the resumption of specie payment
by the United States Treasury begins it
will be a gold resumption and not a sil
ver resumption, although if the run on
the Treasury for gold in exchange for
United States notes should come close to
the amount of that coin in possession of
the government, it is stated that a retreat
may be made to Hirer. The coin bal
ance in the Treasury yesterday at the
close of business was $228,526,453 28. Of
this amount about was gold
artilable for resumption. There sre
outstanding about $326,000,000 in Uni
ted States notes to be redeemed if pre
sented. The plates for the fire and ten
thousand dollar greenback notes are
nearly completed and the notes will be
ready for circulation by tbe day fixed
for resumption. Ther are intended to
do double duty—for convenience in
haudliDK large amounts of greenbacks
and to take the place cf coin certificates.
Their size will be tbe same as that of
the rest of the greenback currency.
Ben. Butler the mogul of greenback
ism was defeated for governor last week
—one of the good things among some of
last week's bad results. But Butler will
not be dead—be will turn up somewhere
again to make a fuss and trouble—the
factis.it Is questionable to us whether
Butler ever will die. lie is sent here
only to bother somebody and make
himself disagreeable to some people. He
troubled the democracy once and voted
150 times in the Charleston convention
for Jeff Davis, for preaidant. Next he
got to stealing silver ware and spoons in
New Orleans, Then gets into the re
publican party and makes them wish
the old Harry had him. Last he turns
communist and greenbacker end kicks
np a scare among all parties in Massa
chusetts. Just now Ben is on his way
up Salt River.
And now where are the greenback
ere?
The Bellefonte Herald says the radical
meeting at Philipaburg was disgraced
by drunkenness. Can't say any thing
of the kind of any democratic meeting
in this county.
The defeat of Butler in Massachusetts
is occasion for congratulation among all
good citizens who desire to see blatant
demagogism and inctlement to "'s*
cord and disturbance in society rebuk
ed.
Democratic greenbackers can now see
it—they are the cause of Dill's defeat
and 4 years more of Cameron sway to
Pennsylvania.
Cameron is not yet out of danger. The
democrats, greenbackers and anti-Came
ron republicans can, if they will, organ
ise the house of representives and de
feat his election.
The slim vote of the National or
Greenback party everywhere, and the
meagre results from the exertions made
to build it up as a power to supplant one
or both of the old parties, will end the
hones of the agitators of the political
heresy of an irredeemable currency.
The whole 'movement has fallen bar.
OVR COVSTY,
That the democracy of old Centre
came ont of the late struggle without a
broken bone or a black eye, is surpris
ing, when we take into consideration
[the raried character of the opposition
that was pitted ngnitist our ticket. We
never knew an election where
there was such a vicious opposition
against the democratic ticket, as this
year. We had to face tho republicans,
the greenbackers and a dissatisfied f* c "
lion in our own party that plotted to
ruin the party because it could not rule
it and dictate its nominations. AH these
elements, sided by Cameron's money,
were in the fight to defeat the democratic
nominees in this county. Of the tlve
political newspapers, the Reporter *■
the on/y one that was out and out for
the triumph of our whole ticket, the
ticket did triumph, thanks to the firm
stand of those democrats who belong to
the partv uot/or tkt office, **' '
arc democrats wAcfAer fey o aom.'iwfoM
Against at least four of tin democratic
nominees there was double teaming to
defeat them.
The republicans, greenbsckera and
Meek centered on \ *vum to defeat t ur
tin.
The'eame combination operate*! aiuM
Judge Mayer, yet he was elected.
The same straoge gjjmbination sought
to defeat our legislative AJd elect
Simler and tlramley, but failed W
The same double team con-bination
operated for the defeat of Adam Yaarick
for Treasurer and centered on Mr. Burk
et, but they also came out at the little
end of the horn.
The democracy of CdDtiu has beer |
proof against double-teaming and the,
foulest treason in its own ranks.
It is a wonder that with tueh an op
petition the democratic party not only
saved ita ticket, but saved it with near
the ordinary majority too!
But democrats have learned to know)
whom to trust, and whom they have
trusted too long and too well. Men who
have been well served have been found
traitors unless office was given them to
keep them in the ranka.
We mistake the temper of the honest
democratic voters if these ingrates have
not been marked. The storm is over
and the "independents" who violated
sacred pledgee, have been dashed upon
the breaker* through their own reck
lessness, while the democratic ship has
safely ontridden the storm, and proven
that it can get along quite well without
tnoeo who have only beenaboard for the
sake of office and who were a continual
source of trouble In tho camp and a dis
grace to the party.
The victory achieved by the demo
crat* of Centre on Tueaday, 5, is the
proudest in it* history. It took hard
work, and constant watching on the
part of the faithful, and (toy have the
Salification of seeing the campaign and
with a glorious triumph. All honor to
those gallant democrat* who stood by
our organisation MSJ maintained it* in
tegrity.
THE XEXT CONGRESS.
By the late elections the Democrat*
gained Senator* (In lieu of carpet-bag
gers! from South Carolina (Patterson!,
Florida (Connovar), Arkansas ( Doting),j
and probably from Nevada. The Re
publicans gained but one seat occupied
by a Democrat—that Barnum
of Connecticut. Conceding Che Nevadal
Senator to the Republicans, the Benate
after the 4th of March next, will stand'
Democrats 42, Republicans 33, Independ
ent* (Davis of Illinois!, 1.
Should California elect a* in the pres
ent House, the next House will be norn
posed of L&> Democrats against 156 in
the preseut; 124 Republicans against 127
in the present House, and six Nationals
—all of whom but one were elected by
the joint action of the Democrat* and
Nationals. The Democrats will have,
gained five vote*, and the Republicans
lost eleven.
In the matter of the vote of States in
the House in case the election of Presi
dent goes to the House in 1881, the
Democrats have nineteen States, the
Republicans seventeen, with California
to elect. We will have the majority.
THE "IKDEPEXDEST' /? USIXESS.
The failure of tbe "independent*
business, at the polls, last week, should
teach a wholesome lesson, viz: That
when the democrats nominate a ticket
fairly, the independent candidate is not
wanted. There was nothing unfair in
Charles A. Mayer'stnomination and noth
ing in his private or official character,
that warranted any democrat coming out
independent —least of all one who had
pledged himself to abide by the decision
of tbe democratic nominating conven
tion.
The same is true with reference to the
democratic candidate for Sheriff, who
waa fairly nominated, and whose past
record entitled him to the vote of every
demcorat. Let it be understood then,
when candidates are fairly nominated
by the democracy they mean to stand
by the action of the convention. If this
were not ao, the party organization had |
better be disbanded. The "independ
ent" candidate now finds himself check
ed for the very back woods of Salt river,
and there let him politically perish.

Journal, growles because we mentioned
hiring its columns for the use of repub
lican Caldwell to defeat the democratic
nominee for senator. It was nothing
astonishing to us nor to any body else,
for Ben always did flinch our party in
time of need but it got along inspite of it
all. There are fellows who only are dem
ocrats when the party is upermost and
leave it when they think it is going into
a minority. It's a pretty democratic sheet
that will hire out its columns to defeat a;
democrat.
Better you had your Journal edited at

Now that the political campaign has
ended, and people can once more look
at matters front an intelligent and rea
sonable point of view, it mnv be well for
the Pernor rata of Centre county to reflect
as to the kind of mnn they have chosen
fhr a leader and dictator—who he is that
requires front regular candidates pledges
that they will not, after election, support
land grants and subsidies to corporations,
and in esse of refusal does all to bis
power through the columns of his paper,
by personal effort and the use of money
to defeat the party and ssutsA f/o'npsgen

to regale the renders of the Kt: court*

MOW COMTIK WAS HUKIFSAI
Besides the ti each err of a few pre
f Dndpd democrats in thia county, who
I did all they ooyld to defeat GOT. Cor-j
1 tin by poisoning tha mind* of A few
' scores of democrats as to bis soundntaa
in the faith, and falsehoods and misrep
resentations to get cotes against him, ,
thers come well founded reports of
fraudulent votes that were cast against,
him. In one township some ft) illegal ;
votes were polled upon fraudulent tax- ,
receipts ; in another upwards of 40 rotes ,
were obtained upon forged Dtttiralisa* (
tion papers. This will suffice as to how ,
it was done. Cameron was at the bot- 1
torn of it all, and by uaing a few torrupt ,
democrats, whose skirts are stained with ~
usuality, the thing was accomplish
ed.
The mumerings of the outraged demo- 1
cracy are loud and deep over the treason J
of a few in our county who aided Came>- (
ron, for Cameron's money, against Curtin (
and we mistake the temper of the in-s
dignant democracy of old Centre if these j
men do not go down with the stain of f
Benedict Arnold marked upon them. ,
Men who have been long and well aervj)
ed, have betrayed you, democrats of
Centre, and during the campaign just j
closed have worked night and day to
breed disorganization in your ranks, s
Mark these disorgsnizers.
If the reported frauds can lie proven
i beyond a doubt, then Gov. Curtin is ,|
j the congressman, elect; and it ia due the o
democracy who so nobly stood up for j|
hitn, that a contest be made, and the
seat awarded to the one who has a ma- n
jority of the legal voles. We would not,*
have Gov. Curtin take the seat, unless it
can be clearly proven that he has a fair L
majority. Gov. Curtin Is not the maii|W
either to nrcept of It upon any other ( r<
ground. Gov. Curtin can live down this
defeat; our people will fael proud of htm ~
long after the few wretches who sold tt
themselres to Cameron will be forgot* Tl

JUDGE I(AYER.
The best reply to Charley M'Cormick'a
charges against Judge Mayer, is given
by tbp people of Clinton county, who
gave Mayer 2000 votca at the primary
election and M Cormick 000. Again, at
the general election, last week, Mayer
received a handsome majority over MV
Cormick. Judge Mayer can he satisfied
with such a vindication. M'Oormick*
campaign was very unbecoming one
who wanted to be a Judge, and has
greatly lessened him in the estimation
of the people.
Judge Mayer's majority in the dis
trict will be near 1800—every county in
the district giving a handsome majority
in his favor. Judge Mayer needs no
further vindication

IcrRTIS ASD Tin: STATE TICKET.
J The return* „i.og ibgi Gov. Curtin
keeps up with the democratic state ticket
in most of the counties in this district,
and his defeat is simply owing to the
democratic greenback vote that was
drawn sway from our nominee.
!In I nion county the democratic vote
on Lire slate ticket stand* Fertig 144S ;
Africa 1446, 11 jsa 1449. and Curtin 144b
,—of course Dill runs ahead in Union,
hut vote being 1656. Good for the dem*
ocracy of Dill's county—tbev have shown
the true democratic spirit of devotion to
their party and its distinguished nomi
nee, Gov. Curtin.
Wm. E. Barchfield, runs the highest
rote and largest majority of any candi
date In the county. This is s compli
ment which is deaorvod and of which he
may well feel proud. He has been a
good Register.
i The grandest fight the democracy of
this county ever made, and the most
glorious victory they have gained, was
in the campaign just closed. We bad to
face the radical party, the greenback
party, and s faction in our own party
that attempted to defeat our local ticket,
because of disappointment, in getting a
plsce upon the ticket. In the fsce of all
such sn opposition combined against ns.
our local ticket went through triumph
antly, and the secret plotters against the
ticket in our party find the party got
along quite well without them and In
spite of their treachery.
Speaking of Curtin s defeat the Phila
delphia Times says : Among the many
political eccentricities of the late elec
tion in this State, the probable defeat of
Governor Purlin for Congress in the
Centre district is the most unexpected ;
and yet, with the Republicans and Na
tionals formally united against bun,
backed bv the exhaustive efforts and
moans of Cameron, tbe resultis not sur
prising when the vote is analyzed
while Dill haa n large plurality in the
district, tho united vote of Hoyt and
Mason is larger than that received by
Dill, and the entire confidence felt in
I'lirtin's success, doubt leas prevented
special efforts by many of his friends to
secure ids election. If he haa been de
feated bv the combination, it will be
profoundly regretted by thousands of
tbe best citizens of all parties through
out the State, for he would he one of the
few men in the councils of tbe nation to
whom all could point with just pride as
i Representative from Pennsylvania. It
nay be deemed a grateful victory lo
auieronand his followers who exhaust
ed themselves to com pass the defeat of
L'urtin; but of all the many regrets which
sill be felt because of the result, none
sill be so keen as the regrets of the he
-oes of Curtin'a defeat ua lime, in its in
exorable march, makes all things even
ind calls the mills of the gods to their
ippointed work. Hince Cameron's vic
ory is so nearly complete in Pennsyl
vania, it mty be well tliat Curtin should
rot stand as tho only exception to his
iweeping triumph, and if Curtin lias
fallen, the recoil' will certainly not be
delayed or enfeebled thereby.
I Hogs am now selling in the Cincin
'nati market at $2,40 to $3,00 per 100
lbs, gross. The Gazette says this is the
.lowest price paid within the last twenty
eight years, with the exception of 1850,
J£sl and IMU. Tiu depression in the
latter year was caused by Hi# panic fol
lowing the outbreak of the rebellion.
During the hard times between 105b
and lib* hogs were higher than they are
now.
At a Urge dsmoe-atic mats ousting h)
Heeding traitors ware read out of the p*r.-
ly for trying to defeat the congressman.
The remains of
p gnr m—k.
Ingrate and traitor to his party,
dug his political grave in the Big Sandy,

The yellow fever has now quits spent
its force In Memphis one death and in
New Orleans four deaths only are re
ported.
The Memphis telegraphers stood by
one another and died st their post like
heroes during the weeks of plague. Oat
of twenty-five men employed in the ser
vice eleven died, nine recovered and
five escaped; but inasmuch as there
w ere several newcomers, only one man
has bad tbe good fortune to hold hie
ground from first to last. ThU man was
rutnam, and many a long night while
the fever was raging he was the only
man in the operating room. Tbe mana
ger, the operators and the clerks went
down one after another until be was
the only man left to cope with the enor
mous prose of business.
Probably there was never a sharper
sermon upon the uncertainty of life than
the death of Alexander Smith on 5, st
Yonkers, before the volee had been
counted which elected him to Con
gress.
