THE RESULT IN HUNTINGDON
COUNTY,
The reader will learn, in the extensive
table elsewhere in this paper, the result in
this county. In it he will find much food
for reflection. The first fact that will
strike him will be the reduction of the
Republican majority of 751 of 1871 to 559
on Tuesday of last week. "What," he
will doubtless ask, "has been the cause of
this reduction ?" We calmly refer him to
the table. In it he will find that the Dem
ocratic vote has been increased from 2389
in 1871 to 2690 in 1872, an increase of
304, while the Republican rote has only
been increased from 3140 in 1871 to 3249
in 1872, an increase of 109. This is ow
ing to two principal causes : The large
influx of Democratic votes along the lines
of the East Broad Top, and Lewisburg,
Centre and Spruce Creek Railroads, and that
the Democratic vote was much more thor
oughly polled than the Republican vote.
We are reliably informed that in many of
the heavy Republican districts the vote
was far from being fully out. This was
the case in Porter, where at least 40 Re
publicans were rot at the polls. Mr.
Smith, of Ennisville, informs us that there
were 30 or 35 in Jackson, and we learn
that from 25 to 30 were not polled in
Penn, and yet Penn did better than any
other district in the county, giving us an
increase of 33 over her vote of 1871. We
have no hesitation in saying that there
were 300 Republican voters in the county
not out. These, added the vote, cast
would have given us the majority which
we claimed—from 850 to 900. These, we
say, were tho principal causes of the re
daction of our majority; but there were
other causes. The most prominent of
which was, that Mr. Speer, who has been
heartily co-operating with one wing of the
Republican party, for the purpose of form
ing a co-alition which would elevate the
Democratic party from a minority to a
prevailing or majority position, was a can
didate and he insisted upon and forced
those who were weak enough to place
themselves within his meshes, to support
him. Ile did it by persuasion, brow-beat
ing and a lavish distribution of money
This demoralized many Republicans who
were already displeased with everything
and they went over to the opposition from
Governor to Director of the Poor. This
accounts for the "lower end," with scarce
ly an honorable exception, doing so wretch
edly. Of course Mr. Speer is the only
party who made anything by this arrange
ment, and the poor dupes who loaned
themselves for the purpose, can now bind
up their wounds "in sorrow sore," and
step to the rear, where they will have to
remain for some time to come. We warn
ed them often enough, but they would not
listen, and they will now have to put up
with the conseqUences of their folly.
Another fact that will strike the reader
will be the small majorities by which a
number of our candidates are elected. For
the explanation of this fact we refer to the
table again. Here it will be seen that all
that portion of the county lying north and
west of Huntingdon stood up squarely, or
nearly so, to the whole regular ticket,
while that portion lying south and east of
Huntingdon uniformly cut it. This de
monstrates clearly that the wing of the
party controlled by Mr. Woods made a
concerted effort to defeat the regular tick
et, and clearly demonstrates another fact,
that they were accessories before the fact
in "setting up" the Independent ticket, as
was se frequently charged during the cam
paign. This ill-advised step they were,
very likely, induced to take by Mr. Speer
and an over-confidence in their own
strength. They ought to have learned
from their effort to defeat Gen. Lane and
Judge Clarkson last fall, that a coalition
with the Democrats would avail them noth
ing, but not content with that, they de
termined to commit political suicide. They
have learned from sad experience that a
sufficient number of Republicans cannot
be carried over to the Democratic party to
effect the result even on individual candi
dates in this county. They have fully
demonstrated, unnecessarily, their own
weakness. We are compelled to make
these deductions from the table before us,
and our duty to the party, whose interests
we are expected to guard, prompts us to
severely reprobate any efforts which aim to
disintegrate the Republican party.
We come now to speak of the extraordi
nary feature of the election—the vote cast
for Hon. R. Milton Speer. We were well
aware that Mr. Speer was regarded with
favor by a large number of Republicans,
and we therefore endeavored to place his
selfishness, early in the campaign, before
our readers so as to disabuse their minds
and . guard them against his "wily flatter
ing words." We were led to believe that
he was co-operating with Mr. Woods to
secure the defeat of Mr. Blair, believing
him t 9 be the strongest man. But, when
we say this, we do not wish to be under
stood as making any reflection upon Prof.
Guss, because we never thought that Mr.
Woods desired his nomination and that he
only supported him from the force of cir
cumstances. In other words : We believe
that Mr. Woods was so allied to Mr. Speer
that he and those whom he could immedi
ately control were compelled to support
that gentleman, and the table fully bears
us out. Look at it ! There is not a dis
trict in which Mr. Morrell was cut two
years ago, and Gen. Lane and Judge
Clarkson last fall, that does not exhibit
the same falling off for Barker. We do
not pretend to charge Mr. Woods and his
immediate followers with all the treachery
practiced in this county towards that gen
tieman. Oh, no ! There were warm
friends of Mr. Morrell who felt lukewarm
towards Mr. Barker, and cut him and al
lowed him to be cut. Bat there is some
palliation for this offense, but what pallia
tion can be offered for Mr. Woods and
those whom he controls for voting against
the man whom they nominated ? Was
there ever in the history of politics such
treachery ? Deliberately and with malice
aforethought setting up a candidate of
their own house to defeat him ! Talk of
being murdered in the house of your
friends! It is as nothing in the scale of
treachery as compared with this !
It may be possible that Mr. Woods can
explain this conduct. If he can, our
columns are open for the purpose, and we
stand ready to do him and his friends jus
tice, but until the figures before us are
explained, we must hold those responsible
who, we believe, made them. Mr. Speer
has used the same men twice to secure an
election, without any return. He is for
tunate. Ns other man in this decade has
been equally fortunate. We do not blame
him for getting Republican votes, but we
feel like holding the Republicans to a
strict responsibility who have proven
treacherous.
In the main we have great reason to re
joke. The whole regular county ticket has
been elected and the unfaithful, stand
convicted. Republicans, close up the col
umns for Grant and Wilson, and in the
furture : STAND BY THE PARTY !
MR. SCOTT'S FRANK AND THE
MIXED TICKETS.
The following letter from Senator Scott
will explain how the mixed Democratic
tickets came to be circulated under his
frank, and, further, it completely vindicates
him from any knowledge or participation
in the matter :
HUNTINGDON, Oct. 12, 1872.
MR. DURBORROW :
I am informed that
tickets were received, by Republicans in
this county, under my frank, containing,
in some instances, the names of all the
Democratic candidates except those for
Congress and Assembly, and in others the
names of all the Democratic , candidates
except that for Assembly. I also learn
that the statement is being made, in at
least one other county in the Congression
al District, that I sent out such tickets.
It is due to myself that I notice and cor
rect this error and mis-statement.
I sent out no such tickets, and authori
zed none such, nor indeed any tickets to
be sent out under my frank. There were
public documents which I had the right
to send out, and which I desired to have
sent through the Chairman of the Repub
lican County Committee, Mr. Tyhurst, and
franked envelopes were furnished him for
that purpose, with the injunction that
they were to be used for no other purpose.
On Saturday before the election I first
learned that such tickets had been receiv
ed, and at once disavowed having anything
to do with them, and made inquiry of the
Chairman to ascertain whether my frank
had been used by himself or any one else
for such purpose. He informed me that
Geo. Lane, the candidate for Assembly, to
further his own election, had sent out each
tickets, and had used a number of these
franked envelopes before he discovered and
stepped it. I immediately denounced the
act as a fraud upon the party and a wrong
upon myself, and informed Gen. Lanethat
Iso considered it. To my letter be made,
no reply, and making this statement as
due to myself, it remains for him to offer
his justification to the party, if he has any
to offer.
As this subject has been mentioned in
other counties, it is proper for me to say
that while I did not conceal from Mr.
Barker or his friends, before the Confer
ence met, my opinion that his nomination
would be an unwise one, after his nomina
tion I earnestly advocated his election not
only in public speeches, but in all my pri
vate intercourse with voters, and let the
responsibility for his defeat rest where it
may, it is not at my door.
Yours, &c.,
JOHN SCOTT.
GEN. GRANT'S DRUNKENNESS
There is an hanest Greeley paper in
Maine, and such a journal is so hard to
find, outside of Massachusetts, that the
fact deserves especial mention. We refer
to the Gardner, Mine Home Journal,
edited and owned by H. K. Morrell. Mr.
Morrell is an officer of the Suns of Tem
perance, and having read the charges of
the reverend slanderer Denison, and
others, in relation to the intemperate hab
its of General Grant, he wrote to F. M.
Bradley, a prominent temperance men in
Washington, asking what he knew and
what he thought on the subject. Mr.
Bradley has held the second office in the
Nstional Division of the Sons of Temper
ance, and is a man whose character will
better stand inspection than that of the
Rev. Mr. Denison, whose piety any temper
ance seen► to be assumed chiefly for the
purpose of securing an easy living off from
the Christian and temperance public.
The Home Journal says; "Though we do
not choose to vote for General Grant's re
election, a decent regard for fairness, for
our nation's reputation, and for respect to
our chief magistrate, impels us to publish'
Brother Bradley's letter, and to say that
we believe he thinks it true. Neither
Horace Greeley nor any honest man that
votes for him wishes to build up his party
by slandering the President, Perhaps we
are going out of our way, thus to "white
wash" General Grant, but as an attack
has been made upon him by * a. professed
temperance man, we feel a little more call
ed upon to tell "What we know about it.
WASHINGTON, D. C Aug. 27,187 2.
Bro. 11. K. MORRELL—DEAR SIR:—
Your tavor of the 21st was duly received.
In reply to your interrogatories I would
say that I have seen General Grant fre
quently on the streets and at his receptions
during the past three years, and have
never seen him under the influence of in
toxicating liquors • and after diligent in
quiry of men of both political parties, I
cannot find any one who hasseon him thus.
In this capital city, where politicians do
not hesitate to attack the personal charac
ter of opposing candidates, such a charge
has not been made thus far during the
campaign, and will not be made for any
Washington audience would indignantly
reject it. Could you consult our citizens
en masse in regard to this charge of drunk
enness against the President so industri
ously circulated througout the country, I
think you would not find a man of charac
ter to testify to its truthfulness. In my
judgement it is simply a campaign false
hood, like many others circulated in regard
to the candidates now before the people.
That the drinking of intoxicating liquor
is deemed a disqualification for office, is to
me one of the most hopeful signs of pro
gress in our political life.
Very truly yours,
F. M. BRADLEY.
NOW FOR GRANT.
HIS ELECTION CERTAIN.
The Electoral College for 1872
The electoral vote for President in 1872,
says the Harrisburg Telegraph, will be
considerably greater than it was in 1868,
under the previous apportionment. Many
States have increased their respective
votes, and several States which did not
vote at all in 1868 will now take part in
the election. The following table will
show the electoral vote in 1868:with the
popular majority in each State for Grant
or Seymour, and also the number of votes
to which each State will be entitled in
1872 :
Grant. Seymour. Maj. 1568.1872.

The whole number of electors has been
increased 49, and three States, which had
23 votes, did not vote in 1868—making 72
additional electoral votes, or 366 in all.
Supposing the States voting would go as
before, and that the Rebel States that did
in not vote 1868 should go against Grant this
year, the result would be :
Whole number of electoral votes 366
Necessary to a cboice.
Electoral votes for Grant 257
Electoral votes for opposition lO9
But owing to the 'split' in the Opposition
ranks, it is quite probable that Grant will
carry New Jersey, New York and Oregon
this year, making together 47 votes, which.
deducted from tho 109, would leave but 62
electoral votes, or eleven less than Sey
mour had four years ago. The closer the
table is scanned the more impossible it ap
pears that any combination that can be
formed will be able to "beat Grant."

JOHNSTOWN, PA., October 13 1872.
The rolling mill building of the Cambria
works, covering about five acresof ground,
was discovered to be on fire at midnight,
Saturday night•. and although the firemen,
workmen and citizens made prompt and
courageo•is efforts, only a part of the main
building and the west wing were saved in
a damaged condition. The heavy machi
nery of the mill is not thought to be•much
injured, but the light machinery is greatly
damaged and destroyed.
At a meeting of the foremen, at which
Mr. Geo. Fritz, Chief Engineer, presided,
resolutions were passed expressing their
sympathy with the company and showing
their devotion to its interests, by proposing
that the men connected with the works
should contribute a day's and the foremen
a week's labor, and a large force will be at
work on Monday morning clearing away
the ruins to hasten the repairs.
The delay in filling orders will be but
brief, as it is expected that a portion of
the machinery will be running ander tem
porary shelter in about two weeks, and the
remainder soon after. The mill will be
constructed of fire proof materials. The
steel works, shops, furnaces and other
works are safe and in operation as usual.
The amount of loss, which is heavy and
partially covered by insurance, cannot be
estimated now. The cause of the fire is
not known, but is believed to be acciden
tal. Several firemen were seriously injur
ed, but fortunately no lives lost.
MIFFLIN, PA., October IE, 1872.
Mr. Paul Stack house, Assistant Super
intendent of the Cambria Iron Company.
reports that their loss by fire is less severe
than at first supposed, and will not exceed
four hundred thousand dollars, less one
hundred thousand dollars insurance. The
principal rolling stock, more especially all
the valuable engines, which were shielded
by previous precautions, and the presistent
effims of a well regulated fire department,
remain comparatively unbarmed,inasmuch
as by the erection of temporary coverings
work will be resumed within two weeks.
The works will soon be even more sub
stantially rebuilt, almost exclusively of iron.
Only the rolling mill proper is damaged.
Owing to the amity of feeling prevailing
between the management and workingmen,
the latter have volunteered their services
gratis to remove the debris, which will be
accomplished within two days. The man
agers are already en route to Philadelphia
to complete the necessary arrangements fur
resumption. The cause of the fire is un.
known.

Thanksgiving Day.
The President has set apart Thursday,
November 2E, as a day of Thanksgiving,
and has issued the following proclamation :
WHEREAS, The revolution of another
year has again brought the time when it
is usual to look back upon the past and
publicly to thank the Almighty fur His
mercies and His blessings;
And whereas, If any one people has
more occasion than another for such thank
fulness, it is the citizens of the United
States, whose Covernment is their creature,
subject to their behests, who have reserved
to themselves ample civil and religious
freedom and equality before the law, who
during the last twelve months have enjoy
ed exemption from any grievous or gener
al calamity, and to whom prosperity in ag
riculture, manufactures and commerce has
been vouchsafed :

Now, therefore, by these considerations,
I recommend that on Thursday, the 28th
day of November next, the people meet in
their respective places of worship, and
there make their acknowledgments to God
for His kindness and bounty.
In witneEs whereof I hal7e hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
