GRANT AND WILSON—HART
RANFT AND ALLEN.—We propose hold

places. The best speakers to be obtained will be
in attendance and address these - eetings. The
"Tidal Wave" or "Ground Swell" which was to
have swept across the continent and carried
the Sage of Chappaqua into the Whtie
House, has failed to come to time, and we now
find Horace Greeley floundering about with no or
ganized party at his back, whilst Gen. Grant sails
along calmly and smoothly toward the coveted
prize, with scarcely a riffle to mar the way.
Republicans, we have been victorious on every
side. All eyes are turned to Pennsylvania, which
is to be made the battle-ground in the contest.
Huntingdon must do her full share of the work.
Our friends are earnestly urged to make these
meetings large and enthusiastic. See that noth
ing is left undone. Work, work, prompt, quick,
active work is what we want, and the result is
mimed.

- A. TtHIIRST,
Chairm'n Rep. Co. Coin.
MAINE TO THE FRONT !
THE GREELEYITES NOWHERE!
16,600 Majority for the Republicans !
Perham, the Republican candidate for
Governor of Maine, was elected, on Wed
nesday last, by 16,600 majority. Thus it
Does ! Now for Pennsylvania!
ag„, Democrats, you who have never fal
tered in the past, read the card of honest
Miles Zentmyer, Esq., in another column,
and see whether you can indorse Speer's
manner of treating Democrats who differ
from him.
sir The Globe's dying song—not like
that of a dying swan—is of Scott. When
ever that paper gets out of humor with all
the world and "the rest of mankind," ow
ing to political disappointments, it pitches
into Senator Scott to work off the bile,—
"Go in, lemon:. !"
get_ The Globe still tries to identify
Gen. Lane with Gen. Cameron. We are
authorized to say that Gen. Lane is in
no way connected with either of the lead
ing factions of Pennsylvania, and that he
will go to Harrisburg to do the best that
can be done for the interests of the Repub
lican party, withotit respect to either of
the factions alluded to.
le_ The Globe of this week has opened
up the "Negro War" again. It turns out
that the negrocs about which it makes so
much ado, have been working on the roads
under contract in the upper part of Blair
county ever since the early part of this
summer, and the effort to got up a "war
of races," for political effect, will be about
as successful as one of Billy Dunn's shoot
ing excursions—nothing brought down.
A POOR MAN,
"Mr. Buckalcw is not ashamed to a:.3 - that
he is a poor man," says the N.Y. Teibune,
which at present takes a deep interest in
Pennsylvania politics. No, BUCKALEW
is not ashamed to do or say anything. He
has not been ashamed to pocket over $lOO,-
000 of State and national money within
the past eighteen or twenty years, "poor
man" ! He was not ashamed last winter to
thrust his hand into the State Treasury
and draw out $5OO for "extra" services on
the McClure-Gray Committee, to which be
had not even the shadow of a right, "poor
man" ! He was not ashamed to sit in his
seat in the United State Senate voting
against every war measure, and drawing
his $6,000 salary per annum, "poor man"!
He was not ashamed to visit Canada and
associate with Saunders, Thompson and
Holcombe who were conspiring to burn
Northern cities, introduce the yellow fever
into Washington, and stir up resistance to
the government in the Western States—
poor man ! He was not ashamed to en
courage the "insurgents" and the malcon
tents of Fishing Creek to resist the draft.
and now he is not ashamed to come before
the people and beg them to give him an
other office in the face of the shameful
record of his public career. Poor man !
Before this campaign is over he will be
still poorer. Stripped of the specious garb
thrown about his character as a public
servant and exposed to the light in his
true nature, his poverty will be such as to
leave him without friends, even in his own
party. The certain defeat which this ar
istocrat, cold-blooded and heartless, will
meet at the hands of the people in Novem
ber will shelve and put him away from
sight the remanider of his life. Poor man!
poor man !—Pittsburgh, Dispatch.
EDITOR
It e,„, Does the Globe recommend its can
didate to Republican voters because while
the Republican candidate was fighting his
country's battles its candidate was at home
elated by rebel victories and prophesying
the ultimate overthrow of the union armies ?
Or,is it because the Globe's candidate has
two arms while the Republican candidate
has but one? Or is it because its candidate
has been so careless in the performance of
his official duties as to be publicly.repri
mended at nearly every term of court since
his election ? Or, is it because that reliable
and truthful matt of the Globe urges an
offence against the Republican candidate
that nine-tenths of the Republican party
have at one time or other committed ?
ma,. Hon. R. Milton Speer is again on
his electioneering path, and in his peculi
ar, plausible, kind manner, is modestly
attempting to induce Republicans to once
more vote for him for Congress. He wish
es to extort from those differing from him,
on vital political principks, a promise to
vote for him, as a citizen and neighbor,—
But this little game of an experienced po
litical schemist is played out. He is known
as a sly demagogue—a man of principle in
proportion to his interest—and whose gov
erning motives and promptings are selfish
—exclusively for himself. The interests
of the people are a secondary matter with
him.
Ds. The Globe candidate for Prothon
otary has entirely failed to perform the
duties of his office satisfactorily to the per
sons who have most business to do there.
He makes his official duties subservient to
his interest as a Street Broker, and if, with
the prospect of a second election in view,
he has thus made his duties a secondary
matter, what can be expected of him should
he be re-elected and when he has nothing
further to expect ?
2ifyton has but one arm, and cannot perform the
duties of the office.—McNeil to Repnblieen voters.
to_ Oh no, McNeil, that little game
won't work. There are two many one-armed
soldiers, occupying this position in other
counties, and performing its duties effi
ciently and with credit. Any competent
man, without arms, and with asgood a clerk
as you have, could perform the duties of the
office better than you have done without
any public scoldings.
ma.„ Democrats, you who do not
feel like rewarding Greeley for his
efforts to break up the Democratic Party,
remember that no one is more responsible
for his nomination than Hon. R. M Speer.
He stated that he would stake his political
existence upon his nomination. Will you
vote for him ?
tThe Globe is still endeavoring to in
flame certain Republicans against a portion
of the regular ticket. We hope that no
Republican will be stupid enough to place
himself in bad odor with the party, for
years to come, by taking its bad counsels.
What is to be gained by such course ?
Nothing but political ruination !
ilk It is really very amusing to read the
Democratic charges of corruption against
leading Republicans. One would conclude,
from a careless reading, that enough mon
ey had been squandered to exhaust the
mines of California and Australia. But
happily nobody believe such stuff. They
always overdo the thing. Fudge
The Liberals have tendered Hon.
A. G. Curtin a nomination for Delegate
at Large to the Constitutional Convention.
This is a little bit of chicanery to get the
prestige of the honorable gentleman's
name. Gov. Curtin has not accepted yet,
and it is not probable that he will.
ser Read the card, Democrats, of Mr.
Zentmyer, in another column, and see how
Mr. Speer treats young tuna—soldiers—
who stand by the old .ship. Will you al
low Mr. Speer to crush your young men in
this way ? If you do we advise every young
man to desert the ship at once !
gm:Under Mr. Speer's frank, documents
are being circulated to prove that none of
the National Debt has been paid. A
Democrat handed us one of those the other
day and said he was sorry that Mr. Speer
thought the Democrats were so ignorant.
ferWe have received the first number of
John M. Cooper's Democratic Statesman,
published in Philadelphia. We are per
sonally acquainted with the, editor and
know him to be a democrat of the strictest
sect. He noes for Oreeley with a yen
gence !
Igt.,Wa are told that several candidates
on th Ind.:lam dun t ticket,inteMpl to decline.
We hope they•will discord the bad counsels
of Messrs. Speer, Lewis & Co, and do so.
The Republican party, in the future, will
not forget them.
sel.. The reports from all parts of the
county indicate that the Republicans are
solid for the ticket from top to bottom. Hun
tingdon will be good for at least 900 ma
jority on the State ticket.
Si& - McNeil made his arm sore, on
show day, shaking hands with voters from
the country. Myton had his arm shot off
by a rebel bullet on the bloody field of
Chancellorsville.
46" Mr. Speer was an ardent advocate of
the nomination of Mr. Greeley. Mr.
Voorhees snubbed him for his ardor, and
yet he will ask straight-out Democrats to
vote for him.

"HE IS A PLAIN WORKING MAN.
He is a man of good judgment and nn•
impeachable integrity.—Altoona Tri
bune ,Independent.)
He is a gentleman of character and in
tegrity.—Blair County Radical.
He is upright and honest—Cambria
Freeman (Democratic.)
Firm in his views, wise in his counsels,
patriotic in his endeavors, and un
purchasable in his character.—Cant
bria-Rerald.
The Cambria Freeman—(Democratic;
says:
Of Mr. Barker we will say, that since he first
came to this county, about 1855, he has been
an industrious, hard-working man, and in all
his business operations an , enterprising and
useful citizen—a man of untir;ng energy, not
only in attendin? to his own personal affairs,
always and on all occasions iu promoting the
interests of his party. Be is a bitter Radical
and has always been in full communion with
all the heresies of that political church. Al
though ke has amassed a considerable portion
of this world's goods, it is but fair to say that
in all his business transactions he is regarded
as upright and honest.
The Ebensburg Herald says :
Mr. Barker is well known to most of our
readers, and wherever he is known he is re
spected. None "name him but to praise." By
the force of his native abilities, his industry,
his patience, and his integrity, he has fought
his way up the hill of life to an honorable and
influential gosition.
Mr. Barker is a gentleman yet in the prime
of a vigorous life. He came to this county in
the year 1854, and has resided here ever since.
He entered upon life without the advantages
of wealth, but with the inspiration of a noble
ambition in his heart, he went to work among
the rugged forests of these mountains, and in
the course of the years that have passed he
has wrought out for himself an honorable com
petency. With himself too he has raised up
others. He is one of the most enterprising
business men in ourcounty, and gives employ
ment to scores of workmen. Many men have
prospered largely by his enterprise. He has
done more, vastly more, to develop the re•
sources of Northen Cambria than any other
man in it.
The ability and integrity of Mr. Barker have
been recognized by his fellow citizens. In
1864 he was chosen to represent them in the
XXXIXth Congress of the United States. He
served them in that capacity for two years
with distinguished credit, and hiscourse there
has always met the hearty endorsement of his
constituency. The period of his public ser
vices was during the time of the fiery trials of
our country—the dark days when fire and
sword swept through the fairest portions of
our land, slaughtering and destroying—the
bloody ordeal that tried as in a crucible the
souls of men—and through all that eventful
and terrible period Mr. Barker stood manfully
at his post, and by the wise patriotism of his
voice and votes, he sustained the odministra
tion in its contest with armed Rebellion, and
enjoyed the satisfaction of seeing the monster
hurled to the ground defeated and destroyed.
As has been well said of another of our noble'
standard bearers, Hon. Henry Wilson, "He did
not desert his country in the dark hour of her
peril ; but was ever seen at his post devising
means for the protection of the Government
under whose shades he was natured and rais
ed from obscurity to an enviable position in
the eyes of the American people."
Mr. Barker is one of the pillars of Republi
canism in this Congressional district. His
name is a "tower of strength" against the en
emies of Progress and Humanity. Firm in
his views, wise in his counsels, patriotic in his
endeavors, and unpurchasable in his clfarac
ter, he stands forth among us as pre-eminently
the man for the position to which he has been
nominated. That ho can be elected is as cer
tain as that the sun will rise to morrow.
The Altoona Trilmne, (Independent)
says :
Hos. A. A. BARKER.—This gentleman, the
nmpisee of the Republican Congressional
Conference, represented this district in Con
gress in 1863-64. As a representative he
faithfully fulfilled his trust, and gave satis
faction to his constituents. He is not a public
speaker but that should be no objection, since
less talk and more work on the part of Con
gress men would be an advantage to the
country. He is a man of good judgement, and
unimpeachable integrity. Socially he enjoys
the respect and confidence of all who are ac
quainted with him. If elected he will no
doubt faithfully guard the industrial interests
of his district with which he is so intimately
acquainted and in which he is deeply interest
ed.
The Altoona Radical says. :
The business of the conference is finished,
and it is the duty of the party to ratify its
work.
We regard obedience to party rules as the
only way to maintain party organization ; and
what we cheerfully do ourselves, we claim we
can at least ask others to do. In asking,
therefore, the solid Republican vote of this
county for the nominee, we feel that we are
making a re-acknowledgemeut of our friend
ship for our first cholce, and we claim, further,
that every friend of Mr. Blair who desires that
he may yet occupy the position which we la
bored so diligently to give him in this canvass,
will recognize the necessity of maintaining
true fidelity to our organization.
Another reason, is because of the unmanly
and disreputable manner Mr. Speer proposes
to treat the brave soldier who heads our State
ticket. It has been one of the most cherished
principles of the Republican party to stand
up for those who fought the battles of the
country, and we cannot believe that any mem
ber of that party will reward by his vote, Mr.
Speer, for his shameful abuse of General
Hartranft. If Mr. Speer is elected, it will be
by Republican votes. Thin district is politic
ally against hire, and those Republicans who
vote for him will bear the shame of having re
warded ono whose chief claim to Democratic
support was his shameful villifying of al:Mien
soldier.
Mr. Barker has had ono term of Congress
ional experience, and while there his record
was all that a Republican could desire. lie has
not the eloquence of Mr. Speer, nor the heart
to slander a brave soldier. He is a gentleman
of character and integrity, and while he may
not possess the ability of Mr. Speer, be is in
capable of coining slanders to blast the repu
tation of a good man. Mr. Barker is a plain
working man, identified with the interests
and prosperity of our people and recognized
as the friend of the laboring man. He has
the ability to properly represent the district,
and although, not the choice of Blair county,
is deserving of her full vote.

Mn. EDITOR you permit me, through
your columns, to make an unvarnished state
ment to the public? I ask this by stating that
I 411;, only influenced by a spirit which email,
otes front one wbo believes "that all power is
inherent in the people," and all free govvn
ments are founded on their authority, and in.
stituted for their peace, safety and happiness,
and that free communication of thoughts and
opinions is one of the invaluable rights of
man ; and every citizen may freely speak, write
and print on any subject; being responsible
for the abuse of that liberty. These declara
tions are the very foundation upon which rests
the liberties and happiness of our people, and
the man or men who dare to abridge them
plunge a dagger into the very vitals of the
nation.
Mr. Editor; I differ front you poll tioallj,
believe in a representative democracy as do
lineated by Thomas Jefferson. Convinced as
am that the principles he enunciated are the
true and essential elements of a republican
torm of government, when I arrived at my ma
jority (21 years) I cast my vote withthe demo
cratic party, because I believed then as I be
lieve now that-it reflects those principles.
cast my first vote with the democratic party
when the dark days of rebellion overshadowed
us. I did not seek the predominant party. I
was sincere in my belief then, and I am sin
cere now, that the democraticparty represents
the principles enunciated by Jefferson, and re
affirmed by Jackson; and that upon those
principles we mast build our republic if we
would have it endure. You, Mr. Editor, have
your views upon these things, which you have
a right to exercise, concerning which it is not
my object to write. I only state these things
to exhibit to my friends and others that I have
no idea of abandoning the principles referred
to or the party. I cling to thaseprinciples, or
what I believe to be them, and hence am a
hearty supporter of the democratic ticket,
composed in part of liberal republicans, co
operating with them foriti success from nor
ace Greeley down to the most petty office, with
the exception of the Lion. (?) R. Milton Speer.
Two years ago I was an ardent advocate for
his election ; I expected to work for his re
election, until recent developments evinced to
my mind and others that while he possesses
qualities which should exist in a representa
tive , be also possesses a spirit which should
not be characteristic in a representative of a
free people. I will state why I think so, and
why I will labor for his defeat in October.
Prior to our County Convention I was no
ticing somewhat the movements incident to
the campaign. I saw certain movements
which, to my mind, evinced the very plausible
tale that a disposition was manifested on the
part of the Hon. (?) R. Milton Speer td totally
exclude the democracy of this county from
participating in the coming campaign other
than mere formula as to the best course to
pursue. I raised my voice in protesting and
cautioning against the dangerous precedent
of a few persons acting or speaking (without
=thorny) as the mouth piece of the whole
party. lu due time the Convention assembled,
and it was deemed inexpedient and unwise to
nominate a ticket; J. Simpson Africa, Esq.,
was elected Chairman of the County Commit
tee and the Convention adjourned sins die. The
following Monday, being August 19th, the ed
itor of the Monitor was handed a ticket, the
publication of which was demanded, to the
exclusion of any other candidates who might
perchance present themselves to the public
for their suffrages. By accident I dropped into
the Monitor office and was shown the ticket.
I inquired of Mr. Common by whom was this
ticket put up. He said he did not know. I
immediately called upon J. Simpson Africa,
Esq., and inquired of him what heknew about
the ticket. tie said that he knew nothing at
all about it;; that he had not been consulted,
and that he had not seen it. I showed him
the ticket, when he asked me who put it up; I
of course could not tell him. J. Simpson Af
rica, Esq., called upon Mr. Cornman and in
terrogated him about the ticket and whether
he purposed publishing it. Mr. Commas said
he had been reqfiested to do so. Mr. Africa
said "as Chairman of the County Committee
I protest against your supporting, effitbrially,
any set of candidates, to the exclusion of oth
ers. unless such candidates have been endor
sed or recommended by the County Commit
tee." Mr. Common adhered with firmness to
the position taken by Mr. Africa. I advocated
the same position, believing, I presume, as
others did, the danger in having no recognized
head in a party. - The Committee was called ;
but during the interval from the call to the
meeting of the Committee others, with myself,
were assailed, represented as pursuing a course
detrimental to the interests of the - various can
didstes nominated.
in order that the voters of the county might
understand the position we had taken, and
that the misrepresentation migbtmeet the fate
they merited, I drew up, without dictation or
solicitation from any one, the following reso
.lutions
Whereas, -The approaching election iv fianght
with interest of vital importune,
And whetelfs,"Tly the usage and enstom of the
Democratic party, State and National, in Conven
tion areembled, placed in nomination able, honest,
and pare men for the respective places of trust;
And whereas, The condition of-our government,
local and national, is Rich that the situation of
political af f airs demand the enlightened, calm and
deliberate action of those opposed' o the party in
P ° 7". ; . _
. •
And whereas, The Roo. R. Milton Speer has
been nominated for re-election to Congress, in this
Congressional district, and John 11. Baily, Esq.,
and A. Reed, Esq., have been nominated- as Dele
gates to the Constitutional Convention, in this
Senatorial district; therefore
Resolved, That ;se, the members of the Demo.
cretin County Committee, in meeting assembled,
earnestly appeal to the rotors of this county upon the
importance of unanimity of action and untiring
zeal in securing the selection of our nominees.
Resolved, That we deprecate any movement
which might dampen the ardor of any one from
laboring mid working fur the election of the lion.
Charles R. Dickelew, or any of our candidates.
. .
Resolved, That inasmuch as we are in a minor
ity Congressional district and a minority county.
we appeal to the good sense and fair judgment of
the Democracy of this county to accede to and
agree to any honorable arrangement by which we
can obtain votes that will insure the success of all
our nominees.
Resolved, That as the representatives of the
Democracy of this county, in Convention assem
bled, deemed it unwise and inexpedient to nominate
a county ticket, and in accordance therewith ad
journed sine die—and that on account of the nu
merous candidates announced for the various po
sitions, we approve of the position taken by J.
Simpson Africa, Chairman, in not recognizing any
other than the regular nominees until he had an
expression of opinion from the Democracy of the
county, through their committee, as to the course
to pursue in this campaign.
Resolved, That as we have trusted hint in the
past, by this act of firmness in standing by the ex
pressed wish of the Democracy in Convention as
sembled, that he is entitled to our greater confi
dence in the future.
Resolved, That we believe in the adage that "the
pen is mightier than the sword," and that the suc
cess of any party largely depends upon the success
of its party organ that J. S. Cameron, editor of the
..Monitor," is deserving of the mood of the Demo
cracy of this county for his persevering energy in
building up the "Monitor" to its present respecta
ble position, and as the "Monitor" has faithfully
stood by the party, and has strengthened thehands
of the Chairman of the County Committee in bis
endeavor to conform to and carry out the express
ed desire of the party and the decision of this
Committer ; that we will stand by both of them in
battling fer the best interests of our party in the
election of all our candidates.
Resolved, That we will calmly and dispassion
ately discuss such matters as may be for our con
sideration to-day, like freemen engaged in deliber
s.ting upon grave questions of importance to our
selves and these we represent, seeking only the
furtherance of our party and the good of our coun
try.
These resolutions I read before the County
Committee, being a member of said Committee
(which appointment, allow me to say, was un
eolieited and a surprise to me) and I appeal to
any reasonable mind to discover anything un
just in said resolutions. Other resolutions
wore substituted and adopted—resolutions
which were foreign from those presented by
myself. But the decision of the Committee
having been announced, I acquiesced, conclu-
ding to abide thereby.
The evening of the day the committee met
I had a short conversation with the Hon. CO
R.:Milton Speer. The action of the committee
was referred to, when he accused me of oppo
sing him, which I had opt done, stating at the
time that I had not asked a member of the
committee to oppose the ticket. Be repeated
his accusation, and added that he would
"mark me" and that "his hand would be upon
me during life."
Mark me! because I dared to exercise only
an inalienable and indefeasible right. "Ills
hand upon mo during life I" because I would
not cringe the supple knee and lend myself to
be used as a pliant tool. Mark me ! Surely
not because I am not a strenuous advocate of
the election of our State and National ticket;
not because lam not a Democrat. Mark me 1
I who have always been a Democrat, and now
struggling with misfortune to build up a prac
tice in my profession. Pray, tell, why does
the honorable gentleman single me oat? Has
he not the moral courage to "mark" those by
whom I stood and whose position I advocated?
Or would he wait a more opportune time
-until after the October election—when, per
haps, by their influence he can be re elected
—then does he intend to pour out the vials of
his wrath upon the Monitor, and by the migh
ty power of a Congressman "crush out" of ex
istence the hard earnings of the editor?—does
he mean to mete outsupposed justice to other
Democrats?
Democrats and Republicans of this county
and district, will you vote for a man to repre
sent you who harbors such designs in his
breast? The time may not be far distant when
his strong hand might be upon youl The
readers and voters of this county and district
will discover, by a perusal of the above,; and
from their knowledge..ef-late developments,
that the lion. (?) rt. Milton Speer has exhibit-.
ed a feelin,g in this whole matter which evin
ces the fact that he is not the man to repre
sent the people of this district—that before he
is entitled to their votes he must aba,Jdon
worshipping tit the shrine of self, or attempt
ing to coerce others to do so.
trust the viiters Of this district will exhib
it to the honorable gentleindn t at the ballot box,
that whether they are poor or otherwise, they
DARE exercise their rights, without anynbridg, ,
nielit,"otlier - th - an that whrelt is incidental to
any well regulated society or government.
