A sober, in dustrious man, capable of doing our work satisfactorily, can have steady employment by applying immediately. None but sober men need apply. GET REGISTERED ! Republicans who are not yet registered will please bear in mind that SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2Sth, is the LAST DAY for attending to that duty. Examine the lists at once, and see if your name is there, as well as that of your neighbor. Do not neglect this important duty ! A BASE SLANDER ! Certain persons, in the interest of Mr. Speer, in the lower end of the county, are circulating a report to the effect that Mr, Barker paid each of the Mifflin county Conferees ONE THOUS AND DOLLARS to secure his nomination ! This is an in famous slander, coined by some designing scoundrel ! It is an unmitigated lie ! Be ware of roorbacks ! PROTIIONOTARY.—RepubIicans of Hun tingdon county, remember that Thomas W. Myton, our candidate for Prothonota ry, was a gallant soldier and left one arm on the battle-fiold, while his opponent, M. M. McNeil, was engaged, with the North ern wing of the rebel army, in giving "aid and comfort" to the enemy ! Make a note of this before casting "complimentary votes." ,ICY' The Tyrone Herald is informed that the Labor Reform Convention, of Huntingdon county, did not endorse Mr. Speer, and in our estimation, it was very jaupid in the Blair county Labor Reform Convention to do the like without know- ing whether he endorsed their principles or not. To the sentiment that "he has virtually killed the party (Labor Reform) in Huntingdon county," we subscribe. sal.. If McNeil had been a warm, out spoken and decided friend of the Union, during the late Democratic rebellion, is it reasonable to imagine—to think or assert— that he would, at this very time, forsake and sink his love and honor for his coun try, and be a willing and persevering can didate for the office of Prothonotary in opposition to the soldier candidate, Thomas W. Myton ? No ! Mr. Speer is rich, and will spend money freely to promote his election to Congress, but the Republicans of this Congressional district cannot be bought by Speer money nor by British gold; he will, undoubtedly, be permitted, yea, re quired, to stay at home after the expira tion of his present term, as he richly de serves. His place will be occupied by a much better representative man. Vote fur Barker ! We occasionally hear some Free Trade Democrat urge that Mr. Speer is as good a Tariff man as Barker. Fudge!— Mr. Speer would have voted and supported all the Free Trade measures of the last Congress if he had not represented an anti- Free Trade constituency. It wasn't safe for him to do so ! If he did he was sure he would never be returned! This was conceded by his colleagues ! He, however, voted for a Free Trade Speaker THE TICKET COMPLETE, Republicans, Prepare Your Railota! EDITOR The Men Whom Yon Delight to Honor. At last our ticket is complete from Pre sident to County Auditor ! We desire to present those, on our district and county tickets, to our friends who arc not already acquainted with all of them, that they may know under whose banners they are about to march to a glorious victory ! We first present the name of our distinguished can didate for Congress— HON. ABRAHAM A. BARKER. Mr. Barker, if we are correctly informed, was born in Lovel, Oxford county, Maine, on the 30th of March, 1816, and is conse quently in the 56th year of his age. He received a fair common school education and engaged in agricultural pursuits. He removed to Pennsylvania in 1854, and devoted himself to the lumber and mercantile business with deci ded success. He was a delegate to the Chicago Convention iu 1860, and in 1864 he was elected a Representative, from this district, to the 39th Congress, in which he served with great credit to himself and his constituents. He is a man of great energy, untiring zeal, undoubted honesty and EMPHATICALLY A MAN OF THE PEOPLE. For Delegates to the Constitutional Con• vention are presented DR. JOHN McCULLQCH and DR. J. P. STERRETT. The former is known to almost every man, woman and child in Huntingdon county. He has been a practicing physician for a generation. He ably represented this dis trict in Congress from 1853 to 1855. He ran for a second term but was defeated.— He is a man of ripe experience and of ma ture age, and will make an able and effi cient member of the Convention. With his colleague on the ticket, Dr. J. P. Ster rett, we are unacquainted, but his neigh bors speak well of him. FRANKLIN H. LANE, of Shirleysburg, has been re-nominated for Legislature. General Lane served his constituents faithfully in the last House. He is an earnest and untiring worker, and never allows the interests of his constitu ents to be prejudiced. The beneficial le gislation which he secured, for the county, last winter, will long be remembered. He was one of the most prominent members of the House, and should be returned to give us character at the Capital. For Prothonotary we have presented THOMAS W. MYTON. Mr. Myton is comparatively a young man, who, during the dark and bloody days of the rebellion, entered the service of the Government and gave an arm as a sacrifice that his country might live. He filled the office of Treasurer for a term, studied law, and is now in a fair practice. He is an exceedingly honest and temperate gentle. man, and fully competent to discharge the onerous duties of the office for which he is a candidate. For Register and Recorder the Conven tion presented the name of WILLIAM E. LIGHTNER, of West township. Mr. Lightner has been a cripple for many years, which has caused him to deviate from the ways of his fath ers and pursue the profession of a school teacher. He comes from an excellent Re publican family, is a very moral and up right young man and ably qualified for the duties of Register and Recorder. He is a graduate of one of the best Commercial Colleges in the country. There will be very little opposition to his election. H. C. MADDEN, our candidate for District Attorney, is a young man who possesses the elements to make a most excellent and thorough-going District Attorney. lie is rapidly working himself into a practice and makes friends with all those who have business with him. As there is no opposition he will have a clear field to himself. In tho person of our esteemed fellow citizen, DAVID HARE, our candidate for County Commissioner, the Convention had especial reference to a proper representation of the farming in terests of the county. Mr. Hare is a very successful farmer and an excellent busi ness man, and the very best man for the place that the Convention could have se lected. He will run a very heavy vote among the farmers wherever he is known, and there are but few throughout the coun ty that are unacquainted with him. He is at present the efficient President of the Huntingdon County Agricultural Society. For Director of the Poor we have MICHAEL H. BYPER, of Shirley township. Mr. Kyper, like Mr. Hare, is also an intelligent farmer and a shrewd and careful business man. In him the farmers of the county will find one of their ablest and best advocates; and under his administration the Poor House inter ests will be most carefully guarded. There is no office to be filled in the county that requires a better man than this, and we are satisfied that Mr. Kyper will be the right man in the right place. And lastly we have BARTON GREEN, of Barree township, for County Auditor. Mr: Green is now in the board of Auditors, and is fully qualified, by both experience and education, to look after the finances of the county. He has no opposition, and will, therefore, walk over the course with out an effort. Republicans, this is your ticket ! Was there ever a more moral, upright, efficient., better qualified ticket presented to you for your suffrages? We can scarcely see how it could be possible to present a better.— Then gird on your armor and prepare for the fight ! It is your duty to elect them, and we have no doubt but what you will ! um. We occasionally come across a Democrat who goes for the Globe's Mule ticket with a vengence. We met one the other day who suggested that the Globe had, for years, denounced guerrillaism in the severest terms, and now it was the es pecial patron of that odious ism. How things do change ma_ The make-up of the Hollidaysburg Standard is frequently a riddle to us. Its items contain so much in little, and its editorials so little in much. END of the GENEVA ARBITRATION $15,500,000 Damages Awarded Gen. Grant has added another glory to his administration in the peaceful settle ment of our long standing and threatening difficulties with Great Britain, growing out of the Alabama claims. Official advices from Geneva state the Court of Arbitration held a final sitttng on Saturday, when the finding of the Court was officially promulgated. The five ar bitrators, the Agents of the respective Governments, several of the counsel, twelve ladies, and ten journalists were present. Count Sclopis, President, read ing the arrangements of the . Arbitrators concurring in the decision of the Tribunal, announced that the sum awarded to the United States was $15,500,000 in gold. It will be recollected that by the terms of the treaty the award is payable in gold at Washington within one year from the date of the award. The decision of the Court is signed by all the Arbitrators except Sir Alexander Cockburn, the representative of England in the Board, who will give a separate judgement, agreeing with his colleagues only in relation to the Alabama aware, which case constitutes the greater portion of the total sum. Damages were granted in the case of Florida by a vote of four against two. All other cases presented by the American Government were dismissed by the court. Re_ In the dark days of the rebellion, when traitors were threatening the life of the nation, in response to the call of the President for more troops. Thomas W. Myton was one of the foremost to shoulder his musket and go forth to battle for his country's flag, and faithfully did he per form a soldier's duty until he lost his arm on the battle-field. In this dark hour of the nation's peril where was McNeil ? At home, sympathi zing with the traitors who were seeking to destroy the Union and denouncing the Administration that was endeavoring to preserve it. These two men are now before the peo ple of Huntingdon county contestant ap plicants for the office of Prothonotary.— And if honest voters will but for a moment consider the claims of the respective can ditates, they cannot hesitate in deciding who is entitled to their support. It is but a small boon that Mr. Myton asks at their hands, and the greatest gift within their power to give can but in a small degree compensate him for the sacrifice he has made for his country. Vote for Myton ! 8e„,.. Mr. McNeil is a volunteer candi date for re-election to the office of Prothon otary, and is proclaiming his own good qualifications and claims for the same. He may be seen almost every day beseeching every voter he chances to meet on the streets and highways, and is particularly kind and bland to gentlemen from the country, importuning one and all of them to vote for him at the ensuing election, doubtless to the neglect of his official du ties. The spoils of office and his eager de sire of gain have induced him to make ex traordinary exertions to retain his lucrative situation. He is, however, apparently sick with the prospect staring him directly in the face, that he will be badly defeated by the gallant, one-armed soldier, Thomas W. Myton. His fears will be fully realized on the second Tuesday of October, as the verdict of the people, on that day, will be for the man with one arm. The very air proclaims it unmistakably. gm. The people—the Republican voters of this Congressional district—under stand Mr. Speer, and will vote for a man entertaining the same Republican princi ples with themselves, one who is honest, capable and worthy, and who will maintain and defend their rights and best interests in the Congress of the United States, and who is the warm and decided friend of the President and of the measures of the Ad ministration of the general government, and that man is Hon. A. A. BARKER, of Cambria county, the Republican canal. date for Congress. Republicans of Hun tingdon county, vote for him, and thereby carry out and maintain your own cherished principles of protection to domestic indus try and the rights and liberties of the whole people. MR. SPEER A FREE TRADER The Hollidaysburg Register says "If R. M. Speer be elected, and the Democrats place in nomination a Free Trade candidate for Speaker and other officers, judging from his veto two years ago, he will vote to place the organiza tion of the House in the hands of Free Tradcrs.— Ho do it or be placed outside of the party. Then the committees, particularly that of Ways :Ind Means, which has charge of the tariff, would be made up in the interests of the Free Traders, and what good would bo the vote of Mr. Speer in favor of the tariff? After doing all ho could in favor of British Free Trade by voting fora Free Trade prganization of the House, and in effect killing protection, ho might v^tefor a Tariff, when his vote would be of no avail ! No. Let us elect Mr. Barker, who will vote for a Tariff organiza tion of the House, and for protection in every shape and all the timo. Ile is active, intelligent, competent, and will make a good member. Every friend of Grant, every friend of llartranft, every friend of the Republican party, every friend of the Union, every friend of the soldiers, every sol dier, and every man who was in favor of crushing the rebellion, will vote for Mr. Barker." se- The interference of Mr. Speer, in the affairs of the Republicans, has disgust ed a large number of Democrats, and be sides this they assert that they can have no confidence in the man who is so fre quently acting in concert with the oppo site party. He has been acting with Republicans on the tariff question, and taking these two facts together they don't know but they will wake up some fine morning and find Mr. Speer a Republican. Vote for Barker and then yon will know exactly who you are voting for ! vai,. We have received a copy of a pamphlet, published on tinted paper, by Henry Carey Baird, of Philadelphia, enti tled "Dream of a Free Trade Paradise and other Sketches," by our esteemed friend, Cyrus Elder, Esq., of Johnstown. We have read several sketches and pronounce them capital. The workings of Free Trade are presented in a simple and yet compre hensive form, so as to appeal to the under standing of the most ordinary intellect. ne,.. Gen. Lane is in favor of a Repub lican United States Senator and a fair Congressional Apportionment. His oppo nent is pledged to work in the interests of the Democrats. MR. SPEER AND THE SOLDIERS. Mr. Speer's slander of Gen Hartranft, says the Blair emmty Radical, was not done in the heat of debate, without delib eration, as same of hie Democratic friends wish to make be!ieve : but it was his de liberate purpose and is but an expression_ of his hatred of the Union Soldiers. In 1863, while he was part owner and editor of the Huntingdon Monitor, that journal teemed with abuse of the Soldiers, and he spared not even those from his own home. He denounced a regiment partly raised in his own county as an UNHOLY MOB and heaped upon them every - vile slander. The following taken from a Huntingdon correspondent of the Philadelphia Press. of the Ist of June, 1863, will show what were his sentiments then : "The Monitor has been published since last Au gust, and has been a violent anti-Administration paper, denouncing its war measures, and endorsing Vallandigham as a true Democrat, besides frequent ly publishing articles to offend the Union Soldiers in the field. The paper was distributed free of charge amongst the men of the 125th Regiment, under Gen 'looker. Four companies of this Reg iment were from this place, and I have been inform ed by members of the regiment that the men determined before they left the army, to destroy the office as soon as they should arrive at home. One article in the Monitor published some three weeks ago, denounced the Regiment as an UNHO LY MOB. The four companies arrived at home early on Wednesday morning last, May 27. About 10 o'clock a dozen or more of the soldiers entered the office and in less than half an hour the press, typo and every thing else, was thrown into the street and destroyed, and the office sprinkled and swept out." te„. Republicans, take notice that Hen ry R. Shearer, guerrilla candidate for the Legislature, secretly promises Democrats that he will vote for Greeley and Brown' and, if elected, for a Democratic United States Senator. Couple this with the fact that 11.1 r. Speer urged the endorsement of the guerrilla ticket, by the Democratic County Committee, on the ground that his election depended upon this action of the Committee, and you have the glaring fact that the would,:be Independent ticket is a Liberal-Democratic ticket without. a scin tilla of Republicanism about it. No good, honest and square Republican can vote this ticket! Spot the Republican who does ! Cg_ It turns out, as we predicted, that the Independent ticket is a square bargain and sale with the Democrats. Every man on it is pledged to vote himself, and to se cure the votes of his friends for Hr. Speer, Republicans, will you lend yourselves to this kind of guerrillaism ? Have you not had enough of this kind of thing ? Do you want to keep up an eternal strife in the Republican party? Do two wrongs make a right? Act the part of men and Republicans ! Stand by the ticket, and when your time comes the party will stand by you! Show the people of Pennsylva nia that Huntingdon county discards gu_ errillaisna. r&" The last Altoona Tribune thus speaks of Mr. Speer's speech of Monday night: "Mr. Speer's address would have had a n.uch better effect had ho concluded without that tilt against Gen. Ilartramft. That Gen. H. was not identified with the Evans swindle, has been clearly shown to nnprejudicedminds, and there is nothing gained by larther efforts to couple him with it. We are not a particular admirer of the Republi can candidate for Governor, yet we dislike injus tice. The Bing at Mr. Barker, his opponent, was so much below anything we supposed him capable of descending to, that it struck us with astonish ment, causing slamo to his friends, and disgusting Republicans who have heretof. re thought well of him." ass There is no other county in the State save Huntingdon, we think, when Democrats buy rp Delegates to the Repub lican county Convention. Here they do such small things fearlessly. Give their checks for $l5O or so, payable to the order of the purchased, without any compunc tions of conscience. This may be an old idea in Huntingdon county but it is a new one to us. "Hands off, we think, would be better policy. ne.„ Our devil says he learns from the Post that the Liberals have a "Highway Department" in Philadelphia. Alec Mc- Clure is at the head of it. There is a committee connected with it whose busi ness it is to raise funds for campaign pur poses. They make the Liberals and Dem ocrats "Stand and deliver !" "Your money or your life!" is their cry. It looks like death either way, don't it? CV" Remember that Gen. John F. Hartranft has been the Auditing. Officer of the State for the last six years, and that during that period he has paid over TEN MILLIONS of the State debt. He will make a good Governor. He is an honest man and a brave soldier. He sprung from the people, and, therefore, understands thair wants. Vote for Gen. Hartrauft. Ito_ A law student from the rural dis tricts writes to a friend thusly : "I ought to say something on the political ques tions that are being agitated, but space forbids.— It is hard, at present, to say bow the election will go this fall. Possibly Grant or Greeley may be elected. Indeed it is said the fight will be between these two Generals, and both may be elected.— After reading the latest number of the Ranting don Globe, I infer that Greeley will be likely to carry Kanada, Kuba and Kentucky. If Grant carries New York and Madagascar, (and the Globe don't deny but be will) his chances for re-election will be decidedly good. VEY - The Speaker of the House of Re presentatives shapes all the Committees.— Mr. Speer voted for a Free Trade Speaker of the last House, who, if he had been elected, would have appointed a Free Trade Committee of Ways and Means, that would have shaped all the tariff legislation. Con sistency, thou art a jewel I no_ Tax-payers, vote for David Hare and Michael H. Kyper, who are immediate representatives of the farmers, (who pay the great bulk of the taxes,) and your in terests will be strictly guarded ! Vote for Hare and Kyper ! ter Mr. Speer, in his speech at Al toona, slandered Gen. llartranft. The latter was a brave and successful soldier, and Mr Speer could not help giving him a left-handed punch. Soldiers, when you come to vote, remember that Mr. Speer slandered one of your old commanders! ID. Mr. Speer has learned, to his cost, that the Republican party will not tolerate Democratic interference. We hope he may always check up in time ! However, too many checks may produce unpleasant consequences. 3 8 6. The Democratic Speer has been badly frightened by the Republican Bar ker. It has been reversed. The Standard will note the fact. ACCIDENT TO GENERAL ALLEN.—The Eric Di.patrit, c , f Friday, says : At four P. m.yaitt ru ty, Gen. Allen, eur fir Auditor General, while stepping on the cars at-the depot to go to his home in Warren, missed his footing—on account of the pressure of the crowd on the plat form—and fell under. One of his feet was crushed, but-how badly we could not learn. The general was taken to a private house, where he received surgical attend ance. He left fbr home on the seven P. m, train, in care of a number of friends. We trust the inj my may not be serious, though it will probably keep him on crutches for some time, as his services in the campaign are too valuable fur him to be cooped up at. home. His many, maw warm friends will not permit his interests co suffer while he is temporarily a prisoner at his residence. “The Jounam. calls upon the Democrats to de feat the Independent ticket. That's cool."—Glote Well, neighbor, is it any "cooler" for us to ask Democrats to defeat the Indepen dent ticket than it was for you to set up a ticket for Democrats to vote before you were warm in the party ? Now, wasn't it just the least bit of presumption on your part, having just gone over, you know, to manufacture a ticket for those who had always stood by the old Democratic ship ? A great many Democrats think that it was, and call it the "MULE TICKET !" by way of showing their contempt for it. "The Globe's MULE TICKET !" What a name! How “cool!" "MULE TICK ET !" Ha! ha!! ha!!! How appropri ate ! "Is it wanly in Mr. Barker to make use of ni i;morant class of people, from another State, to giv him what might be denied him by the voters o this district ?"—G/obc. Is it "manly" in you charging Mr. Bar ker with the importation of men—manu facturing a statement out of whole cloth that he received them at Altoona—when no such men were imported and conse quently nobody received by him? The Globe knew that the statement was false when it gave currency to it. Mr. Barker does not need any imported votes. He can clean Mr. Speer out and give him sev eral hundred in the' race. Put this in your pipe and smoke it. va,. Mr. Speer, anxious to catch the vote of soldiers, introduced a bill into Congress to pay 533.00, which is due a number of veterans, but for same unac countable reason, failed to have it passed. For this effort, he wants soldiers to vote for him. If he had rendered them some service, then he might have some good reasonfOr his expectations, but as it is, he has no claim upon them. Mr. Barker is not only in favor of this bill, but he is in favor of giving each soldier 160 acres of land, to do with it as he pleases, without a personal residence upon it. Elect Mr. Barker who will be in harmony with the majority, and he will carry the measure through. No Democrat can ! Mr. Speer, in his labored defence, in the last Monitor, alledges that we are "servile" because we have "made a base effort to prejudice the minds of those who are known as the Labor Reform party."— Ah, indeed ! Is Mr. Speer in sympathy with the W. B. A. ? Is he in favor of the Columbus Platform ? Is he favorable to the election of Wm. P. Schell for Gover nor ? Is he in favor of the Labor Reform County Ticket? Is it "servility" to say that he is not? Will the publishing of the like inevitably redound to the lasting discredit and infamy of its author ? "Come, Mr. Speer, "hould up yer purty face and answer me that I" Air We cannot spare the space to re ply to Mr. Speer's two-column article, in self-glorification, in the last Monitor; and, if we could find the space, there is nothing in the article which requires so much at tention. Mr. Speer, in his brief career as a Congressman, grasped at every measure in which he could see any votes. It was no love fur the soldiers, their widows and their orphans, that prompted him to intro duce the measures which he now parades so conspicuously. The motives which urged him were exclusively selfish. gm, Mr. Speer alledges, in the last Mon itor, that "ho is receiving the most flatter ing eulogies at the hands of Mr. Trave lick," one of the Labor Reform champions. Mr. Travelick was deceived by the party action of the Labor Reformers of Blair county. How is it with the Labor Re formers in this county, pray ? Where are Flenner, Dunn, Pollock, Miller, Langdon, Evans, and other leaders or the Labor Re form movement here ? All going for Barker, ain't they? But they are "lesser lights," says Mr. Speer ! IPar Republicans, examine the registry list and see if your name is thereon. You must be registered at least ten days before the election—that is to say, on or before Saturday, the 28th instant—or you cannot vote. See to this matter. We also call upon the members of the County Commitee, a list of whose names was printed a week or two ago, to urge those to get regis tered who are backward. bar When a camp meeting can get hold `of a candidate it makes him shell out; then some worthy brother, to induce some hard-fisted chap to "come down" liberally, cries out—" Mr. R. Milton Snooks, fifteen dollars !" Methodists understand these little dodges, and laugh at the credulous candidate. Liberal camp meeting contri butions, in a campaign, never bring Meth odist votes. )2,81. What can Mr. Speer do in Con gress, for the tariff, in opposition to his party? Send Mr. Barker there, and he will be in harmony with the majority, and if anything can be done he will do it. se_ Farmers, Mechanics, and Business Mon, vote for Gen. F. 11. Lane, who has saved you thousands of dollars by the ju dicious legislation that he inaugurated last winter. Vote for Lane ! giSir Make no other calculation than to vote tho le Republican ticket. Every man on it, from Governor to Auditor, is worthy of your undivided, hearty, zealous support. Thm. The Globe has found a "mill" at last. It is in Mr. Speer's office. It grinds. well. tom,. If the Globe had not originated the story of the importation of negroes, into this district, it would have been without -a sensation last week. The fact that ne groes have been employed, grading rail roads in Blair county, all summer, was known to everybody except the editor of the Globe, it seems; and, if they are citi zens of this State, legally qualified, they haw; as much right to vote as the editor of the Globe who rides upon the railroads which they build, and, if they are mit citizens, legally qualified, they will not vote. So ends the matter! gm. The Globe s3ys, speaking of Mr. Speer : '•IIe is a man of the people, and the people, ir respective of party, should unite in elevating to position one so honest and capable." Why so ? Why should he be elevated over any Republican who is also "a man of the people ?" And especially one that has done a thousand times more for the people than Mr. Speer has. In truth, what has Mr. Speer ever done for the peo ple to lay claim to so much We mean, politically, of coarse. las, Mr. Speer, we are informed, has introduced still 'another element into poli tics. This time it is Railroad "Passes I" He is now promising Republicans, as an inducement to vote f..u. him, "passes" over the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railroad. Look out for this dodge ! Mr. Speer won't import negroes, but lie will buy white men with Railroad "Passes!" efa- There has been a great desire to know the object for which a distinguished Democrat gave a check for $l5O, to a Delegate to the Republicah County Con vention. It is thought universally it was to secure that Delegate's influence against Hon. S. S. Blair. Mr. Blair's friends so re gard it and vote for Barker unanimously. Horace Greeley passed through this place, on his way to deliver the Annu al Address before the Indiana County A gricultural Society, on last Wednesday evening. A large crowd awaited his ar rival, to whom he made a brief speech.— Seymour did the same thing four years ngo. The country knows with what sue- THE REPUBLICAN PYRAMID MAINE. OREGON. VERMONT.

Dear Sir:—Your letter iforming me of my nomination for the office of District Attorney, by the late Labor Reform Convention, is be fore me. This unsolicited honor, bestowed by the honest, intelligent, laboring men of the county is far more highly appreciated than it could be if it had been won by an effort amongst politicians. lam obliged, however, to say to you that I cannot be a candidate. The office of District Attorney is one to which I do not aspire and which I would not under any circumstances accept, moreover, I am unable to see how my election could advance the interests of your organization. Mr. Mad den, the Republican nominee, for that office, is a man of highest merit,and eminently fit ted for the position. I desire his election, and instead of doing anything to prevent it, I must be permitted to do what little I can to promote it. Please be assured that when ever the laboring men of Huntingdon county need my feeble services they will only have to command me. Very Respectfully, &c. P. M. LYTLE. A Card. HUNTINGDON, Sept. 23, 1872 . Mr. Editor.—lt is beinr , represented by some of the designing, that am opposing the "Independent Ticket" of this county, nothing in my letter warrants suet} a conclusion. lam only opposing the Hon. R. Milton Speer. lam doing this because I believe in keeping inviolate the nominating system, because I believe in the majority of the people saying who shall be their nom inees. This I think the people of this county desire, it is what I will always contend for regardless of consequences, and it is what we must have if we would perpetuate the true character of ourinstitutions. The people of this country are crying out from the depths of humiliation, from the depths of bitterness, God save us from "Rings" and combination of "Rings" or we perish Although smarting under the presence of wrong, through personal consideration for Mr. Speer in conjunction with party consideration I would have refrained from opposing the honorable gentleman in his election had I not met with his public defiance. The gen tleman appears in heavy armor, being clothed in the panoply of a congressman and a party nomination, but regardless of this he will find that men dare defend themselves against an unjust attack.
