RISIIIIPTIDENCE PROPERLY RESPECT
TED.—A few days ago, a young disor
ganizer,- who didn't
_get a "posish",
'from the Republican Convention ,called
at a. farmer's house to enlighten
him as to his duties in the present
campaign. The young chap delivered
himself to his own entire satisfaction,
and just_ then the farmer's wife an
pounced that dinner was ready, (peach
pie and sich like,) when the farmer
invited- his visitor to the door, and
pointing in the direction of another
faun house said--." John- lives
over there, he is a good Democrat of a
hind—he will try to believe every
word you say—and perhaps ho will
give yon something to eat—l am a
Repablioan, good day." Bully for the
obi farmer—we wish we had been there
to see. We'll bet we would have got
our dinner, anti no .questions asked,
because the good old gentlemen and
a true party man reads the Globe and
raises large. potatoes.
SiZra Hon. John Scott has been un
fortunate in taking the position he has
in our local politics. It.was uncalled
for. At any other time, befbro the
assembling of a nelminating -Conven
tion or after an - election, would have
been a more proper-timiithan just now
to try to find out all about any secret
political organization or organizations
supposed by some to be in existence in
the county. Mr. Scott was too hasty
to head the' attack upon prominent
and good Republicans because they
would not come under the control of a
"ring" of politicians who have fre
quently controlled in years past the
Conventions of the party, and who
when they failed would always cut the
ticket as much as possible. We say
Mr. Scott was too hasty in allowing
himself to be brought down to a level
with dissatisfied county politicians.—
The ticket nominated is just as good
as many others the party nominated
in former years, and perhaps better.—
it was nominated with as much fair
ness as any other ticket was nominated,
and as fair as it is possible to nominate
ono. We, as a party paper, cannot
countenance any opposition to a regu
larly nominated ticket. All who op
pose a ticket nominated in accordance
with the rules and usages of a party
organization are disorganizers and
cannot claim to be recognized as
party men. They,.by dissenting from
the action of their party nominating
convention, place themselves outside
the party and should have no control
or influence in it.. We, humble as we
were, three years ago refused to sup
port the Republican nominees. As
soon as we took that pOsition we no
longer considered ourself a member of
the party organizSion. But not sat
isfied, some of the very men who aro
now opposing the Republican ticket,
met in public meeting and reactus out
—thus making it sure that we were
out. We came in again when we saw
proper to do so, and now the same rule
must be appli9d to the men who will
not support party nominations this
fall. •All are outside of the party, and
have no control in it. They have fall
en from grace—must 'repent if they
will, and show by their works for a
time that they are in • earnest, before
they can again get back in good stand
ing in tho Republican party.
ZEr.The meeting the disorganizers''
Chairman ordered to be hold at Alex
andria on Saturday evening last was
not held. Porter township Republi
cans are not to be used by the disor
ganizers—they would not dishonor
their township by obeying Logan's
orders. lie cannot be recognized by
a party ho is trying to defeat. As
well might tho chairman of the Demo
cratic county committee attempt to
direct tho action of our party—both
aro opposed to the election of the tick
et nominated by the Republican party.
Logan and his disorganizing "ring"
are outside of tie Republican county
organization—they refuse to act in
harniony with the county Convention.
Ile is only Chairman of the disorgani
zers' party, a party of men who will,
if they cannot rule, try to ruin.
Ile . ' The leading disorganizers in
town say they will poll a heavy vote
in the borough against a majority of
the candidates on the Republican tic
ket. We have not been able to find
many Republicans who are bold enough
to show their hand against the tieket,
but we do know two or three who are
trying to play the sneqc. ICs no•use,
gentlemen, you can't deceive old fish
ermen. Your record will be the same
as if you had "did it" openly—manly.
All who want to be known as on the
side of the disorganizers can have their
names in a prominent place in our pa
per if they will only band them in.—
We ; want a record, so that the party
in the future can see who tried to do,
stroy the party when it was struggling
for life.
Ler-Why is Cromer publishing the
disorganizerF3' organ 7 Because ho
couldn't get a nomination over a woun
ded soldier for Prothonotary.
Why are certain prominent disor
ganizers fighting Woods? Because he
has more political friends in the coun
ty than they have.
Why is it that Brice X. Blair, P. M.
at this place, is a disorganizer ? Any
body can answer.
Why it is that the "ring" are all
either loud-mouthed against the Re
publican ticket or desperately mum ,
Because they failed to rule, and are
now anxious to ruin:
They Speak for Themselves.
We give in another column a. state
ment by a large number of the dele
gates to the late Republican Conven
tion that nominated the ticket that is
now before the people for election.
These gentlemen have been denounced
by the disorganizers as either belong
ing to or influenced by a Woods' secret
order. They speak for themselves,
and plain enough to satisfy any can
did man that the charges made by the
disorganizers aro without foundation.
eel' Cremer has taken to dreaming,
and publishing them. There is one
ho has not published. He dreamed
that because ho was not nominated
over a wounded soldier for Prothono•
tary, he could, with the assistance of
Henry A. Marlf, Brice X. Blair, Dr.
Henry Orlady, John Scott, N. Lo
gen, .D. Blair, Henry Davis,• Alex.
Briggs, Wm. Dorris; and a few others,
smAx.o .the Reindlicatvlicl4l. - . •
tte - It may seem a little strange to
some folks that while Mr. Woods is
denounced by the disorganizers for
having recommended persons as jury
men to the Republican jury commis
sion, when he was asked to do so,
'Judge Clarkson, Alex: Briggs, Dr. 11.
'Orlady, Geo. W. Johnston, and other
Republicans, who, unsolicited, gave
lists for their townships, should be
overlooked by them, and receive no
attention. The jury commissioners
were not sufficiently acquainted over
the county to select proper jurymen,
and we cannot nee anything very
wrong, if wrong at all, in them taking
better information than they had.—
True, juries might be packed, like "My
Committee," but it must bo remem
bered that those who gave lists for ju
rytnen didn't then nor don't now ride
in the same wagon.
..Cromer says Logan's Commit
tee will conduct the campaign in the
interest of the Republican party.—
What nonsense. Will it be in the in.
tereat of the Republican party should
its ticket be defeated ? How is Mr.
Logan conducting the campaign ?
What good has his committee accom
plished ? Mr. Logan may be of some
service to you in helping you to con-
duct your guerilla sheet, and that is
working to the interest of the party,
because true Republicans throughout
the county can see in that sheet the
spirit of the disorganizers, and in• the
future, when your sheet shall have
passed away, they will have a record
of your treachery.
dairWe like the firmness of D. M.
Painter, Chairman of the Republican
County Committee. Ho is determin
ed that no man shall be a member of
the committee who is not in favor of
sustaining the action of the Republi
can party. That's right! What right
has a disorganizer—a man opposed to
the Republican ticket—to a scat as a
committee man. He would be of about
the same use as a Democrat would be.
We say to Mr. Painter, strike from
the committee every man who is
known to he using his influence to de
feat the regularly nominated Republi
can county ticket—the Republican
party will sustain You. The fountain
head of the party organization must
be reliable.
Ser Republicans, don't allow the
disorganizers to confuse or dishearten
you. Remember you have a Governor
and a Supreme Judge to elect. ' If they
should be defeated, the State will be
lost to the Republican party for years.
Kick the disorganizers out of your way
and, go on to victory for the WHOLE
ticket, from Governor down to Audi
tor. We hope no Republican will stay
at home on the day of election because
of the conduct of a few disorganizing
office-seekers' and office-holders.
dam' The disorganizers propose to
kill off all who aro willing to serve
them as volunteer candidates this fall.
Mr. Lloyd has already handed himself
over to them. We will wait to see if
there is another man in tho county
willing to he shelved. Once a guerilla
candidate and they aro through with
their party for a few years at least.
Such has been the experience of all
office-seekers who tried to get ahead
of their party.
ts,„Some Democrats connected in a
business way with the disorganizers
are very anxious that their party, in
stead•of nominating a ticket, should
fall in line with the disorganizers and
help them out. There is as much
honor at stake in the Democratic or
ganization as in any other, and it will
be an uphill business to get Democrats
to do the bidding of unprincipled dis
organizers claiming to belong to' the
Republican party.
IQ - Cromer says Joseph Johnson
told us in "M.y Committee" that "Cop
per/leads were not wanted there." We
did not hear Joseph, if we bad we
would have immediately pointed out
the beads of Cromer and Johnson, both
a very coppery color. We are glad
to know that Joseph is prominent as a
disorganizer—be has always failed in
any political course be ever took since
he was kicked out of the .I)emocratic
party.
UV' Mr. Painter, Chairman of the
Republican County Committee, will
make arrangements for the printing
and circulation of the full Republican
ticket. They will be ready for distri
bution in a few days. Look out for
the tickets Logan and "My Commit
tee" will try to put in circulation to
deceive true party voters. Every tic
ket should be carefully examined be
fore it is voted.
ila' The Republican party must be
in a very bad condition in West town
ship if what Henry Davis says is true.
Ho says the Republican ticket will re
ceive but very few if any votes in that
township. That region is noted for
having scattered around loose some
pretty smart politicians, and we shall
see how well Henry will be able to
drill them and the balance of the voters.

Letter from W. a Woods, Esq.
MESSRS. EDITORS :—As the Hon.
John Scott, U. S. Senator, did, in a
public meeting held in the Court House
in the borough of Huntingdon, on Fri,
day, the 4th inst., make a personal at
tack on myself and others, 1 al3k the
privilege of replying through the col
umns of your paper. Mr. Scott, at
that meeting, uttered what he knew,
or could have known, was false, and
basely so. If I were only individually
concerned, I would treat his slander
with tho silent contempt it deserves,
and as I have hitherto treated tho ma
licious slanders uttered by the Honor
able Senator. But it was an effort on
the part of Mr. Scott not only to strike
me, but also other worthy and promi
nent members of the Republican party,
and he thought thus to aid and assist
those who aro now trying to disorgan
ize the party. Not one of the gentle
men so foully aspersed by the Honor
able Senator but is a life-long Republi
can, and it did not become him, just
fresh from the Democratic party, to thus
assail old, tried Republicans.
Mr. Scott charged myself and others
with belonging to a secret order called
the "Literati" or "People's League,"
with stuffing the Jury box, and that it
was no longer safe for him to try a suit
in our court. To prove his assertions,
he produced and readapaperpurporting
to be the Constitution of a secret order
dercalled the" People's League," which
he asserted was signed by J. White
Shavervand Peter Shaver. As it was
not signed either by myself or any of
the parties charged by Mr. Scott as
belonging to it, it required other proof
to fasten it upon them. He then as
sorted that Mr. S. White Shaver told
him that I and. Dr. J. A. Shade intro
duced him into the order and further
that Mr. James Chilcoat, of Orbi
sonia, told him that the parties
charged by him did belong. What
Mr. J. White Shaver may have told
him I do not know, but as to Mr. Jas.
Chilcoat telling him so, I know that is
not correct, as the following affidavit
of Mr. Chilcoat will prove :
STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA, 1 ss.
HUNTINGDON COUNTY,
On this 6th day of August, 1869, person
ally appeared before me, n Justice of the
Peace in and for said county and State afore
said, James Chileant, Justice of the Peace at
Orbisonia, Pa., who, being duly sworn by
me, according to law, declares, that whereas
it has been reported that I have made an af
fidavit or signed a paper that I belonged to
secret political society, and that W. 11. Woods
of Huntingdon, Pa., was at the head of it,
and that W. M'K. Williamson, D. R. P. Nee
ly and others belonged to it, I, on my oath,
solemnly declare that if there is any such
paper in existence it is a forgery; that I nev
er belonged to any political secret society
other than' ono called the Union League,
which I joined some years ago, which had
for its object the election of good loyal men
to office; that I never knew that W. 11.
Woods, or any of the parties above mention
ed, belonged to it; that I have frequently
been in the office of Woods & Williamson and
that both of them talked on political matters
to me, and that they never mentioned any
thing about any secret societies to me; that
I never knew that they belonged to any. I
further declare that I never belonged to a so
ciety called the "Literati." I further declare
that I never gave any lists of names of any
secret society to any one at any time.
[Signed] JAS. S. CHILCOAT.
Sworn to and subscribed before me, this
6th day of August, A. D. 1869.
JOHN 11. LIGHTNER, J. P.
Witnesse Jong LOGAN. • •
In this - affidavit Mr. Chilcoat dis
tinctly swears that he never belonged
to any socret order except the Union
League, and that he did not know that
I belonged ,oven to it. Ho further
states that he never furnished any list
of names of any secret order to any
one at any time. So far as this posi
tion of Mr. Scott's proof is concerned,
it is fully answered. Mr. Scott asser
ted that Mr r Chilcoat told him all
abbot it, and gave him a list of names
of those Mid, belonged. Mr. Chilcoat
swears he did no such thing.
• As to Mr. White Shaver's story, it is
simply absurtl. According to this sto
ry I and Dr. J. A. Shade introduced
him into the People's League, and
Mr. Peter Shaver, whose name .it
seems was signed to the Constitu
tion, asserts that in the year 1854 he
was initiated' by J. White Shaver, but
that be never attended a meeting af
terwards, and knew nothing about it
from that day to this, as the following
letter will show.
MT. UNION, September 18, 1869.
In regard to the secret order, called the
Literati, or the People's League, the Consti
tution of which was read by the Hon. John
Scott, on the 4th inst., at a public meeting
in Huntingdon, I know this much about it:
In the
W.
1854, as near as I can recollect
it, J. Shaver, of Mt. Union, called on me
at my house, and stated the object of the so
called order, and as everything looked fair I
went in the ring. . I got no password, nor I
got no grip, that I can recollect of. I have
never attended a meeting of the so-called or
der, nor I never beard of a meeting any
where in this county of the so-called order,
though there are some parties in the county
olaim that there is still a secret organization
in the county; in case there is I have no
knowledge of any whatever.
Respectfully, &c.,
PETER SHAVER, J.
The date in this matter is very im•
portant as it clearly proves that White
Shaver's story as far as I am concern
ed, is not true. In 1854 I was teach
ing school at Easton, Northampton
county, Penna., and the first acquain
tance I ever had with Mr. White Sha
ver was in the hitter part of 1860. A
little over a year after that I left Hun
tingdon county and did not return un
til 1863. I do not think Mr. White
Shaver• was then
. living at Mt. Union,
but of this I cannot say positively, as
I was but slightly acquainted with him
at that time. It has only been within
the last four years that I have taken
any part in the politics of this county,
and the citizens of at. Union, where
Mr. White Shaver lives, know and can
testify that Ur. Shaver has never been
politically or otherwise a friend of
mine. Tho foundation of Mr. Scott's
tale, founded as ho said it was on the
say so of those two individuals, is thus
entirely swept away. But Mr. Scott
was not only guilty of publishing this
untruth, in the meeting spoken of, but
as a back•biter and busy-body he took
his horse and carriage and went from
house to house throughout Porter
township, and told the same untruth
there and busied himself in calling all
be thought would believe him, into his
office, and telling them the sapie story.
Mr. Scott, in his speech on the 4th
inst., asserted he was actuated by the
purest motives; that what ho did was
for the good, both of the Republican
and Democratic parties, and though
very unpleasant to him, yet ho con
sidered it a, duty he must discharge.
If Mr. Scott's motive was pure, if it
was not the most hitter botrec . l to my
self that was actuating him, his con•
duct in this matter was most singular.
The present disorgani - zers of the party
were those who were- most active in
urging Mr. Scott forviard to do what
ho did. Now Mr. Scott was informed
that W. B. - Ziegler, of Huntingdon,
would testify that be was initiated in
to this same order, and the gentlemen
who are now trying to disorganize the
Republican party blonged to it ; but
that those charged by Mr. Scott as
belonging did not belong. Mr. Henry
R Shearer, of Shade Gap, was here
to testify that the ringleader of the
disorganizeis approached him last
spring three years ago to join it, and
other parties hero, at Petersburg and
in Jackson township, would testify the
same thing. If pure motives were ac
tuating Mr. Scott, why did ho not tell
the truth ? Mr. Scott further asserted
that it was through the influence of
this secret order some of the present
County ticket was nominated, and we
have taken the trouble to get most of
the delegates of the late County Con
vention who voted for these candi.
dates, to certify that this also is not
true, and we will ask you to publish
it. Mr. Scott's course in this matter
has been in no way oreditable to him
self" nor to the position he occupies,
and his whole conduct has been un-
gentlemanly, uncalled for and inexcu-
sable. Yours, &c.,
W. 11. WOODS
To the Republioan Voters of Hunt
ingdon County.
Whereas, the Hon. John Scott, 'Uni
ted States Senator, did in a public
meeting held in the Court House in
the borough of Huntingdon, on Friday
the 4th inst , publicly charge certain
parties with belonging to some secret
order called the Literati or People's
League, and asserted that it was thro'
this secret order that some of the pre
sent Republican County Ticket was
nominated, we the undersigned, who
were delegates to the late Republican
County Convention, moat emphatical
ly deny that we belong to any such
order as the Literati or People's
League; and moreover, acknowledge
that wo supported in Convention some
of the candidates that were nomina•
ted, and wo do condemn the course
pursued by the Hon. Senator.
Mr. Scott has, through the Republi
can party, been elevated to ono of the
highest positions in the gift of the peo
ple; honor required him to stand by
the party that thus favored him, and
he is guilty of treachery in betraying
as be has done, and in trying to ruin
that party.
Mr. Scott must remember that the
great Republican party is composed of
independent freemen, who can think
and will act for themselves, and do not
choose to be led and controlled by him
or any other man. As Mr. Scott has
so lately come into the Republican
party, modesty requires that he should
not so early attempt to rule; and as to
his threat to crush the party if he can
not control it, we would simply remind
him of Senator Cowan's fate; and fur
ther, that the Republican party has
been, in days gone by, triumphant,
when Mr. Scott's powerful aid was
with the Democrats, and will still be
triumphant after he returns to his first
love.

Having learned that I am charged
with acting in concert with a secret
organization known as the "Literati,"
or "People's League," and that my
nomination was secured through its
influence, I deem it due, not only to
myself, but to the party which has
placed me in nomination, to say that
I am not, and never have been, a
member of any such . organizatiou, and
have never acted in concert' with it. I
have always condemned, and still con
demn,any secret organization inside of
party lines. As a candidate, I solicit
ed the support of delegates and the
assistance of other candidates, but I
deny that I made any bargain or
agreement with the said organization,
and I pledge myself to oppose any
ring or association designed to control
nominations, or prevent a free expres
sion of the will of the whole Republi
can party in nominating and electing
its candidates. JNO. N. SWOOPE.

[COMMUNICATED.]
MR. EDITOR : In last week's issue
of guerilla sheet, called the "Republi
can," we saw a communication signed
"Porter." We would in Porter town
ship, like very much to know who the
author of that communication is. He
talks as if he belonged to some kind of
secret order. Now the taxpayers of
this township are considerably interes
ted in what was clone with all the
money that was raised for recruiting
purposes. A pocket book, which had
the people's money in it, was lost.—
Who had to refund the money or bow
was it fixed up—did the party man
age it through any secret order? It

ilEirWe received a good report of
the meeting that was to.be field in Al,

"OUR POSITION,"
Theodore H. Cremor in the first is
sue of his Guerilla - sheet undertakes to
state his positidn,and tries to give some
reason for his betrayal of the Republi
can party. It is a Well known principle
that a man never does a mean or dis
honest act that ho does not try to ex
-cuee it, either to himself or others.—
Mr: Cremer feels conscious that the
business ho is now engaged in is a de
grading one. Hitherto, he has enjoyed
the confidence, respect and esteem of
his neighbors, but all now look upon
him as a Judas or an Arnold. He is
ashamed to look an honest party man
in the face. For thirty years he says
he has supported the Republican par
ty. Well he might, when it is remem
bered that twenty-two years out of
the thirty be held office under that
party. For several months past Mr.
Cromer inserted his card in the county
papers, that be was candidate for Pro
thonotary, subject to the decision of
the County Convention. He went be
fore the Convention, his competitor
was a wounded soldier, and Mr. Cro
mer was fairly beaten. Having gone
before the Convention and taken his
chances; honor required him to abide
the decision of the Convention, and
his present course is not to his credit.
The reasons this gentleman gives for
betraying the party are these : The
Convention was packed, and that the
nominations were made by corruption
and bribery, and that fraud vitiates
all contracts. Now, Mr. Cramer, you
know that the allegations, of a party
interested like yourself and your mas
ter, Sohn Scott, will not prove either
that the Convention was packed or
that the nominations were made by
fraud. We want proof. What dele
gate do you call packed, and what is
your evidence of fraud and corruption ?
These wholesale charges against sev
enty-eight picked men of the Republi
can party are shameful and outrage
ous, and no man worthy of the name
of man, would be guilty of uttering
them withotit the proof. And - . now
since you have been guilty of uttering
these slanders, the people want your
proof. What delegate was bought and
corrupted, and what candidate bought
him and if any delegates were pack
ed, who were they, and what is your
proof? it is proof that the people want;
not wholesale charges. And now eith
er prove to the people of Huntingdon
county that what you have asserted
is true, or acknowledge that you have
wilfully and maliciously falsified.
Mr. Cromer, if there is any act more
diabolical than another, it is where
one man enjoying the confidence of the
community undertakes by slanderous
reports to blacken the character of
young men just starting in life. All
the candidates on our County ticket,
whom you have basely maligned, are
young men, life long Republicans, and
worthy of the support of the Republi
can party. You charge them with be
ing nominated through a secret order
called the Literati or People's League.
Where is your proOf that they or any
one of them belong to such a society
It is true that you publish a constitu
tion pdrporting to be of such a society,
which you say is in the handwriting
of Dr. J. A. Shade. Whether you have
- such a paper in Doctor Shade's hand
writing or not, Ido not know. Sup
pose you have, what of it ? does that
prove that any of these young men
belong to it? Are their names to that
constitution? If not, it is proof conclu
sive that they know nothing about it.
Besides, Doctor Shade was not a dele
gate and did not even attend the coun
ty convention and took no part what
ever in making the nominations.
You published the constitution of the
People's League, why did you not pub
lish the names of those who signed it,
that the people might see who belong
ed and who did not? •
Mr. Cremer, your low, disgraceful
trick will not avail you, nor the disor
ganizers who are Working with you.
Tb o Republican party is composed of
intelligent freemen, who cannot be im
posed upon by such a tale as this to
defeat the party and hand the victory
over to the Democrats.
Now, you talk of secret orders, will
you on your oath dare deny that you
were initiated into a secret order call
ed the Literati ? you also talk of bri
bery and corruption, will you deny
that at the late county convention you
offered a delegate five dollars if he
would vote for you and when he did
vote for you, you forgot to pay him F
If you dare deny either of these facts,
you will hear from me again, and I
will prove them.
Shame on you. A man who wants
to come as a self appointed Censor,
must come with clean hands and .a
pure heart. You must not think be.
cause you used your money to.corrupt
delegates that others were as guilty
as yourself.
You are an old political hack and
thoroughly understand the buyingpro
cess. Those young men slandered and
vilified by you, are young in politics and
besides they are just starting in life
and none of them had money to buy
with. Traitor to the party that has
filled your coffers with money and
made you what you are, you aro
Inown. The party can do without
you. Never disgrace its ranks with
your presence again. You have heard
from me !
