Chairman Rankin must be one of state chairman Cessna’s very “remote” ones— he did not yet hear the news from Maine, hence has not ordered that parade. The Garfield party of Maine has been knocked helter skelter, catty-cornered, highern-a-kite, Will there be a solid north ? Lookslike it from Maine, All the bugaboos of rebel clahms and paying rebel debts were used in Maine, but the folks there took no stock in such idle gabble, The Garfielders used bribery in Maine but still failed to carry the state, And thie “solid south” talk didnot even scare the people in Maine. anmenm——— I —— I ——— Our County Ticket. The democratic county convention on Tuesday was barmonious, and did its work well and to the satisfaction of the democracy as will be attested by a rous ing majority at the polls in November. For Congress the unanimous choice is Hon. A. G. Curtin, one of Pennsylvan- ia’'s most distinguished sons, snd of whom Centre county, always was proud. Our people know the great war gov: ernor so well that it is useless for us tc point out his services, Asa democrat he has given S years of labor to our party traveling and speaking for its success in many states, besides being the most lib eral contributor, in every campaign, i central Pennsylvania—always read) with his means and proffering the same with a cheerful hand. We trust the congressional conference will tende a unanimous nomination, as a fitting recognition for his labors in the party and because he would represent the dis- trict with great credit. For Assembly Messrs, Gepbart and Murray have been renominated. One term in the house has proven them true to their constituents and their party io every vote. They returned without the taint of corruption, and we know that another lease will prove them true in the second as they were during the first term, They are men of irreproachable private characters ; life-long democrats ; neyer having wavered in the darkest days of the party. Give them a hearty support and a rousing majority. For District Attorney, Wm. C. Heinle, esq. is our nominee. He is a young man, of poor but respectable parentage, and altogether a selfmade man. He is an attorney of ability, energetic, up right, attentive to all business entrusted to his care, and has that quality so much deserved in a member of the bar, honest, straitforward and upright. He has been one of our most active young democrats, His voice has been heard in simost eve* ry school house in the county in behalf of our party. He is a worthy man in every respect and deserving the voles of all good men without respect to party. Democrats should now thoroughly organize, Victory on the entire ticket is within our grasp, but organization, work, and the utmost vigilance is needs ed from now until election day. Mr, Brugger, the nominee for County Surveyor, is a gentleman well qualified for the place and a citizen of excel lent character. mc me. wl A st Philadelphia on Saturday night had # torch-light procession, in which by ac tual count there were 10,825 in line, making several miles. Senator Wallace addressed the great gathering. The city is Mainely for Hancock. re Mp It seems that the republican politicians in Indiana have been taking lessons in ballot-box stuffing from their brethren in Philadelphia gr perhaps treasury clerk Bowes who invented the “tissue ballots” in Florida in 1876, One James Brennan brought . suit against the republican sheriff at Madison, Ind., for the recovery of a balance he claimed to be due him on a contract for changing the tickets in a ballot-box at the election two years ago. The case was tried the other day and Brennan took the witness-stand and made a full expose of the fraud committed upon the ballot-box. In his testimony he clearly set forth how he was first ap- proached by some of the leading repub- licans of Madison, He testified that an agreement was made two weeks before the election that he was to take from the ballot-box one hundred democratic tick- ets and substitute therefor one hundred and ten republican tickets, for which he was to receive $500, he being allowed to appoint the inspectors and clerks. He says he fulfilled his part of the agreement that he took out the hundred democratic tickets and replaced them with one hun- dred and ten republican tickets, He was paid for this service at first $200, and smaller sums at different times after- werd, and this suit was for the balance due him on the contract. Of course the case was ruled out of court ou the ground that the contract was against public poli- cy and therefore void. But the exposure thus made will serve as a warning against the desperate and damnable devices to which the republican politicians are ac- customed to resort in order to carry their point, ae The cotton crop this year is estima. ted at six millions of bales, or larger by nearly half a million bales than sny former crop.

Too Hard On Garfield, Some of our esteemed republican readers intimate to ue that the Revorrer is"too hard on Garfleld” Well now sea here: You will bear us witness that the Ryrorter has not used any abusive epithets against jrepublicans- wo disapprove any thing of the kind. Then you will bear us witness that all that has been said about Garfield, ia taken from the Record as made by him. self, and that we give date and page, and also from leading republican papers before Garfield was nominated. This record, we admit is rough, is bad; but is it not all the more our duty to give it, republican friend, because ha is proposed for so high a place? Then again, do we not invite all honest republicans to the Rerorren office to see the official record in proof of the very disereditable trans sctions the Rerorrer has mentioned about Garfield? If we were falsifying them there is good cause for complaint, but we are backed by the truth, and that is rough on Garfield. Now, say, ard we not doing our duty in exposing the re. cord of such a man? Bay? Blaine To Garfleld. The day after the Maine election, says the San, Mr. Blaine was at his wit's ends to account for the unexpected and as- tounding result in some way that would satisfy his political friends outside of thejState whom be had misled by pre dictions of an overwhelming Republi. can victory. He finally hit upon the in- genious device of sending Garfield a long telegram through the Associated Press. ln this despatch he alleged that in the four days preceding the election the managers of the Democratic cam- paign beyond the boundaries of Mainu bought up 5,000 Republican voters at an expense of from $75,000 to $100,000 in cash, This is an average of 600 voters in every Congress district, and the price paid for these Republicans was, accords ing to Blaine's story, about §30 per head. The first thing that will arrest the atlen- tion of everybody outside of Maine is Blaine's opinion of the moral character of the rank and file of his party in the State where he has been the moat trust ed leader for the past twenty years. It will be borne in mind that this estimate of the character of his followers will re- main the same whether his tale is true or false. If this number of Republicans were bought at the polls, there stands .he fact. If, on the other hand, Blaine nas slandered his fellow citizens, he still means to have it believed that his par ty in Maine is so corrupt that such a aumber of Republicans could have been purchased if the money had been here, Mr. Blaine onght to know the Repub ican party in hisown State very thors yughly. He bore an active share in orming it. He has done more than iny other man to train it. Ifit has be some 30 utterly debauched that many housands of its members can be pur chased with money at the ballot boxes, this disgraceful fact is mainly due to ais discipline and practice as ita chief leader, ; pi . Who Gives The Soldier Pens sions ? As some of the rads are fond of telling woldiers the lie that democrats would cut fF their pensions, we copy the follow- ing in the Rxrorrex to show how false it is: Itisa fact that a Democratic House passed the arrearage of Pension bill af ter it had been vetoed by a Republican President. Nor have the Democrats in Congress ever failed in their duty to the disabled veterans, The following tables will show bow Republican and .Demo- cratic Congresses compare as to amounts appropriated by them for pensions. The first bill passed by the Democrats was for 1877, and the amounts for that and the succeeding four years are compared with the preceding five years, during which the Republicans were in a majori- ty in both Houses. The fiscal years are meant : Rep. i872. 1873. 1874. Dem, Congress, 1877. $20,538,500 1878, 28,533,000 1879. 29,371,567 1880, 56,233,200 1876, 80,000,000 1881, 41,644,000 Total $149,990,600 Total $185315.274 It will be seen that Democratic Con. gresses have appropriated some $25,325, 074 more for pensions than the Repub- licans have, These appropriations were voted for by the Confederate brigadiers, notwithstanding the Republicans in Congress defeated the Mexican Peusion bill rather than that a few old and needy soldiers of the South, who aided in win- ning an empire for the Union, should bave the petty sum proposed by the pension law, This was about the mean- est act of the American Congress. It was 0 infinitessimally little and mean as to have gained the approval of the Pittsburgh Gazette, and that is saying a good deal. rr ————— I A —————— Bribery At Blaine's Home.

Isaid “Yes.” We wentinto a stable near the polis in Ward Three and said McKinney gave the money to Al- exander McCousland, the driver of the city team, who said : “Go and vote and I will give you the money.” I went to the polls and voted, McKinney was with me and watched me while I voted Wa then returned to the stable and Mc- Cousland paid me the ten dollars, 8B.

General Butler was interviewed by large delegation of colored men, at the St, Charles Hotel this afternoon, whe are about to declare for Hancock, There is now a mass meeting in session com.

FORNEY, . aw any such to Iw Growx Mex, if there are who have suffered themselves scared with the ghost of “rebel plans” secure the payment of the “rebel debt,” will do well to consider the following facts and circumstances. The fourteenth amendment to the Constitution runs thus “4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, in cluding debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in sup- pressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. Bul neither the United Sates nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation wmeurred in avd of insure rection or rebellion against the United States or any olasm for the loss or emancipahion of any slaw, but all such dels, obligations and clavms shall be held legal und vord.” This amendment absolutely precludes the payment of the rebel debt, because. while it ts now specifically prohibited, it is not possible to change the amendment for the reason that article 3 of the Con- stitution says: “1. The Congress, whenever two-thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Con. stitution ; or, on the application of the legislatures or two-thirds of the several States, shall call a convention for propos. ing amendments, which in either case shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of this Constitution when ratified bythe legislatores of threefourth of the several Sales, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress.” Probably even Woodford would not be silly enough to talk about two-thirds of the Senate amd House of Representatives of the United States being 2 body to propose a change m the Cousti- tution which shall permit the payment of the rebel debt, or about fourths of the States to agree to such a change. finally, in his letter of acceptance General Hancock WYE “The thirteenth, fourteenth and fit teenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States, embodying the re sults of the war for the Union, are invioe lable. If called to the Presidency, 1 should deem it my daty to resist with all of my power and attempt to impair or evade the full force any effect’of the Con- stitution, which in every article, section and amendment is the supreme law of the land.” General Hancock could not have made a more emphatic announcement of hisin- tention to support the amendment which forbids the payment of the rebel debt. But, if he had never said a word on the subject, his personal character affords the country an absolute assurance that in his hands “the results of the war for the Union” will indeed be “inviolable.” The American people know the truth of General Taylor's remark in the celebrate “ed Allison “trusted without pledges cannot be con- “fided in ¥ it by any- getting three Furthermore, and etter’-"one who cannot be merely on account of them, - A “The great Principles of American Liberty are still the lawful Inheritance of this Peopls, and ever should be. The right of trial by Jury, the Ha~ beas Corpus, the Liberty of the Fress, the Freedom of Speech, the Natural Rights of Persons, and the Rights of Property, must be preserved.” [Extract from Order of Gen'!

He answered, "Take back to him this for me: Ifthe Republican party is kept in power, will Ae be willing to pay higher wages?" “The anxious Republican couldn't an- swer this question, But his friend went on : ‘‘He then turned to me and said, “You have a daughter who is employed by Messrs. " (daming a well-known Republican firm who employ many hands.) I answered, Yes,” and he proceeded: “She used to get, 1 think, $60 a month?’ I said that was so. “And how much,” he nsked, "does she get now?’ I answerad, "She gots $25 now.” And then he said, The reduction of $35 a month has all been under a Republican President and Repub- lican rule; the firm has cut down her wages more than half; but I believe the firm is getting nearly, if not quite, as much now for their goods as they received when they paid her $00 per menth, This iss sample of your Republican party's love for working people. I shall vote, and yote for Hancock; and one result of his election will be to revive business everywhere, and raise wages, not lower them. What could I say to this?"

Thecom- wittee distin elly rejects the testimony of several of the members. This can on. y be done on the ground that it 1s un- true.
