TO DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBERS
Since the first of July last we have
found it exceedingly difficult to raise suf
ficient money to meet the pressing necessi
ties of our business, in fact, at times, we
have scarcely known whither to turn to raise
money enough to pay our employees, our
paper bills, and other necessary expenses,
that can only be met by cash payments.
This has been a source of great annoyance
to or and interfered very much with our
duties as an editor. It is not calculated
to brighten a man's ideas to have to throw
down his pen every few hours and run
out to gather np sufficient money to
purchase one of his hands a sack of flour
or some equally necessary article. Espe
cially is this the case when he knows that
thousands of dollars are due him on sub
scriptions, which, if paid as they should
be, would place him in a comparative po
sition of independence. It is an absolute
fact that•out of the 1600 names on our
list not 400 of that number have paid up
to the first of January next. Have we
not good and sufficient reason to scold ?
There are at least 400 who have not paid
up for two years and 100 who have not
paid us a farthing since our connection
with the JOURNAL. This is a little rough.
We have no desire to dun our subscribers,
but what are we to do ? Must we invest
our money, year in and year out, and sub
mit to all manner of inconveniences to
oblige men who take no more interest in
their county paper than this ?
We hope all that are indebted to us will
see the necessity of responding at once.—
We want money badly. Send it by mail,
at our risk, if mailed in presence of the
post-master. Come, don't keep us waiting
longer for what is due us. Pay up !
ne_ From all parts of the District we
hear that the prospects for the election of
our .candidate for Senator are excellent.
Mr. Irwin will run a formidable vote in
Centre county.
sear Guas gives Prof. J. P. Wickersham
as authority for saying that the only way
to continue the Soldiers' Orphan School,
at Cassville, is to defeat Capt. Burchinell.
Does any sane man believe this story ?
as.. Friends, do all in your power for
our candidate for Senator. A reasonable ef
fort on the part of our friends will secure his
election. He is one of the best men in
the District, and deserves all the effort
that can be put forth. •
as. Last Fall the Leaguers and Demo
crats were united on the League-Mule
ticket, and they did not come within a
league of electing their candidates. Now
what prospect can either of them have this
Fall when they are running separate tick
ets ? It's all bosh !
lag. It is currently reported that H. J.
McAteer, esq., since the death of his
father-in-law, haadesired to withdraw from
the Legislacive canvass, and that he has
only been prevented by his Democratic
friends, who do not desire to be left with
out a candidate.
MU The Globe worked up five mortal
columns, on the Yenter's Hall Conven
tion, last week. Outside of the mere
statement of the assembling of the Con
vention, there was not an unperverted fact
in these five dismal columns. It can all
be summed up in two words—BlG ; LIE!
WM' When Gum wants the Democrats
to sock up he tells them that ho runs "A.
W. Evans, B. F. Glasgow, A. W. Wright,
the Soldiers' Orphan Sehool, David Dunn,
and Andrew Harrison." They are at his
mercy and will do just as he says. "Now
if you want them•• you must pay well for
them." Gum and Woods run a regular
stock market.
lar We had the pleasure of an editori
al visit, on last Monday, from our highly
esteemed friends, Youog S. Walter, esq.,
editor of the Delaware County Republican,
and James B. Sansom, esq., editor of the
Indiana Democrat. They are as good
natured and clever a couple of quill-dri
vers as there are in the State. Let the
light of your countenances beam upon us
again.
sia.. Goes tells the people of Cass town
ship that the defeat of Capt. Burohinell is
absolutely necessary to secure the perma
nency of the Soldiers' Orphan School at
Cassville. There is not a partiole of truth
in tia statement. The State has already
dismissed Gum and made him pack up his
traps and leave the neighborhood, and yet
the school goes on, and will continue to
do so until Gun refuses to lease the pro-
Porgy.

EDITOR
VILLAINY OF THE LEAGUE EXPOSED !
Immediately after the 12th of August
Convention, the leaders of the infamous
League, began to cast about them to find
some pretext for opposing the excellent
ticket, fresh from the people, nominated
by this Convention. They had one prin
cipal object in view, and that was, if pos
sible, to bring about the defeat of the can
didate for the Legislature, because in him
they thought they could more effectually
carry out their vindictiveness against Hon.
John Scott; and beyond this, politics is a
mere matter of business with them, and
they saw more money in the Legislative
nomination than any other office to be fill
ed, consequently they knew if they were
to make anything out of politics this Fall,
it must be made by do effort to defeat
Capt. Burchinell. They sew very readily,
as soon as H. J. McAteer, e-q., received
the nomination, that he was the fat goose
to be plucked. But how to assail Capt.
Burchinell successfully, a man whose re
cord was as unsullied as new white paper,
was not so readily settled ! They could
say naught against the man as a soldier!
He who had participated in TWENTY—
FOUR BLOODY BATTLES, WAS NO
r COWARD, but a man who deserved well
at the hands of those whose lives and pro
perty he had helped to save, even if he had
had a few trifling weaknesses that are
common to the lot of the bravo and the
generous, but we will show, before we
close this article, that no such faults, tri
fling as they may be, can be laid at his
door. These dastardly traitors, guerrilla
like, under cover of their own infamy,
sneak out of their dens, unable to find any
other charge against him, and charge him
with being "an intemperate man, a common
loafer, and an immoral man."
So ridiculous did this charge seem to
those who are intimately acquainted with
Capt. Burchinell, that it was thought un
worthy of notice, but so persistently has
this story been repeated, by interested
persons, that a few Republicans, who are
unacquainted with Capt. Burchinell, have
applied to us for information upon the
subject.
We say here, now, THAT A MORE
VILLAINOUS LIE, TO INJURE A
YOUNG MAN, WAS NEVER CON—
COCTED!
When Capt. Burchinell returned from
the army he entered into a partnership
with his father, under the firm name of
"Thos. Burehinell & Son," to conduct a
Planing -Hill in West Huntingdon. The
immediate management of this business,
constantly employing from thirty to forty
hands, devolved upon the Captain. He
kept the books, raised the necessary funds
to , keep the business in motion, made the
contracts for lumber, cto., am., while the
father took contracts for finished stuff and
the erection and superintending of build
irga. The responsibility. of running the
mill rested upon the shoulders of the
Captain, and no man can superiutend such
an enterprise, employing such a force of
men, without having his hands full. This
the Captain has done for years, exhibiting
truly remarkable business capacity and
energy. For the truth of this statement
we refer to any old citizen of Huntingdon,
without regard to party. No man in the
town of Huntingdon has been more se
verely worked than this man, and yet his
assailants have charged him with being a
"common loafer !" The people of Hun
tingdon, with a unanimity unparalleled,
will give the IM to this base slander. The
charge of immorality is in the same cate
gory. Let them produce a scintilla of evi
dence to sustain it.
Now, then, for the charge Of intemper
ance. We have been intimately acquainted
with Capt. Burchinell for almost three
years, have met him almost daily, and yet,
to the best of our knowledge, WE HAVE
NEVER SEEN HIM TAKE A DRINK
OF LIQUOR, OR UNDER ITS IN—
FLUENCE, IN ALL THAT TIME, and
until after he was nominated for the Le
gislature we never heard a word even inti
mated that he was addicted to intemperate
habits. If any of our readers have any
doubts upon this subject we refer them to
J. R. Simpson, esq., G. B. Armitage, esq.,
K. Allen Lovell, esq., S. T. Brown, esq.,
Dr. A. B. Brumbaugh, and, in fact, any
life-long temperance man in Huntingdon.
Guss, Woods & Co manufactured this
falsehood out of whole cloth. Let it re
bound upon their heads. A more correct,
honorable, industrious, sober and n.oral
young man than Capt. Burchinell is not
to be found anywhere, and the people of
the county will show their appreciation of
these qualities by electing him, on the
second Tuesday of October, by a clear ma
jority over all opponents.
ARE OUR REPUBLICAN FRIENDS
DOING THEIR DUTY?
We are not satisfied that our friends are
working as hard to get out a full vote as
it is their duty to dd' No money or labor
will be spared on the part of the Guerrillas
and Democrats to get out a heavy vote,
and if we desire to counteract their efforts
our friends must see to it that every vote
is gotten out. Let every voter be visited
by the local committees and his status as
certained, and arrangements made to sup
ply him with tickets and to secure his
attendance at the election poll.
lel_ The question is asked, "llow it
came to take Guss just six weeks to write
out and print the proceedings of the Re
publican Convention of August 12th,
when the JOURNAL had the full proceed
ings in the issue of the next morning,
August 13th ?" The plain answer is, that
we were present and wrote down the pro•
ceedings just as they occurred and sent
them direct to the composing room of our
office to be setup, while our neighbor has
been obliged to invent his account of the
proceedings, as the truth would not suit
him at all. It is a great deal easier for
some people to tell a lie than the truth,
but it takes longer to do it.
THE BOLTERS' CONVENTION.
Dimity-Six Districts Hold 110 EIOCtiOII.
ONLY Si VOTES POLLED IN THE COUNTY.
A MOST STUPENDOUS FRAUD!
To enable our readers to comprehend
the make-up of the Bolters' Bogus Con
vention, we make the following analysis:
Alexandria—No election ; one of the
delegates gathered up on the day of the
Convention who will not vote the ticket,.
Barree—No election and no represents•
time.
Birmingham—No election ; Thos. S. Mc-
Cahan and Peter Knode delegatea ; Knode
refused to serve and repudiates the action
of the Convention in a card published in
the last JOURNAL.
Brady—Five votes; Jacob Musser set
ting in his wagon presiding over the meet
ing.
Broad Top City—About six votes cast;
Spitler, one of the delegates, is or out and
out. McAteer man.
Carbon—Five votes.
Cass township—Five votes.
Cassville—From eight to ten votes ; the
Soldiers' Orphan School furnished a ma
jority of these.
Clay—Two votes besides those of the
delegates. •
Coalmout—Six votes for Levi Evans,
and none fur Heaton. Heaton did not
participate.
Cromwell—No election.
Dublin—No election.
Franklin—No election ; but represented
by H. S. Laird by motion in Convention.
Henderson—Six votes.
Hopewell—No election.
Huntingdon, Ist Ward—No election.
2d Ward—No election.
3d Ward—No election.
4th Ward—No election.
Jackson—No election.
Juniata—Three tenants of Wm. 11.
Woods, in this district, elected two of their
number delegates—Jacob K. Peterson be
ing the odd man—at some barn, aided by
the presence of W. 11. Woods.
Lincoln—Six or eight votes.
Mapleton—No election.
Morris—No election ; no representation.
Mt. Union borough—Seven votes.
Mt. Union district—No election.
Oneida—Five or six votes; one of the
delegates refuses to suprort the Potato
Bug concern on the ground of deception.
Orbisonia—No election.
Penn—Nine votes.
Petersburg—No election nor represen
tation.
Porter—No report.
Shade Gap—No election.
Shirley township—No election.
Shirleysburg—Ten votes; one Demo
crat and John Logan—Poor House man—
who belong to the township.
Springfield—No election; but Ephraim
Baker, of Orbisonia, was made a delegate
by the Convention.
Tell—No election; no representation.
Tod—No election.
Three Springs—No election.
Union—From six to eight votes.
Walker—No election.
Warrioramark township and borough
held a joint meeting, and four or five votes
were cast.
'Vest (Upper)—No election. There is
no such man as C. Hamer in the township,
and John A. Green, the only delegate
present, was elected by the Convention.
West (Lower)—No election ; no repre
sentation.
We have collected the above facts with
considerable effort, and our readers can
rest assured that they are as near correct
as they can well be made. Now, then,
does this array of facts not confirm what
we have repeatedly asserted in regard to
this Convection? Just examine the facts
closely ! here are TWENTY-SIX DIS
TRICTS, out of FORTY-FOUR, in which
NO ELECTION WAS HELD ! Five dis
tricts entirely without representation ! And
only an aggregate of EIGHTY-SEVEN
VOTES CAST THROUGHOUT THE
' COUNTY FOR DELEGATES ! ONE
VOTE LESS THAN THE WHOLE NUMBER OF
DELEGATES ! Or an average of less titan
five to the whole number of districts voting,
or not quite Iwo to the whole number of
districts. Was there ever, in the history
of politics, a snore stupendous fraud at
tempted to be perpetrated upon an en
lightened people ? Was there ever a more
sidiculous farce? And yet an attempt has
been made to palm this thing off upon the
Republican party of the State as a move
ment of importance ! We challenge suc
cessful refutation of the facts we have
produced !
Guss says he will make the Cass
township vote all right. They are at his
mercy. He has it all in his own bands.
If they do not vote as he wants them he
will take away the patronage of the Or
phan School ! Is it possible that this
vain boaster has such an influence over au
intelligent people as he claims ? Can he
lash Republicans to do his bidding in this
way? We think not. Arise and hurl
the cowardly boast down his croaking
throat. Be free and independent citizens,
and vote your own sentiments in spite of
the lashings of this would-be negro-driver.
091„, The panic which has carried down
so many banks throughout the country has
spent its force. The Government has
bought up bonds to the amount of $24,-
000,000 with greenbacks, and loosened up
the market to some extent, while in addi
tion to this the banks have thrown a large
amount of paper upon the market. In a
few weeks money will be very abundant.
Real estate. which is by all odds the safest
investment, ought to advance very rapidly.
sm. Last Fall the League and the Dem
ocrats united on a mule ticket and bad
Speer's cash box to draw upon, and yet
they could not touch the Republican tick
et. We would like to know what prospect
there is this Fall when they are running
separate and distinct tickets ? Bah ! it is
mere moonshi*e !
n Get your friends to charge a rival
with being a Catholic to insure his defeat,
and then when you want him to help to
elect you, write a letter and say you didn't
do it. Too thin !
The beiislativo Calldidates Reviewed.
The Real State of the Case
DEAR JOURNAL :—"Polities is a tarnal
curious thim , ," was the remark of one of
our honest yeomen, not long since, after
listening to an di:patent between two of
our knowing ones. The sentiment may be
clothed in more elegant words, but it still
rentains"A 'Truth." It is a "tarnal curious
thing" that men of ordinary minds cannot
come nearer tine thought and feeling on
subjects that are of like importance to all
as citizens. The fraud and deception
brought to bear on the mass of voters is so
great, and at times plausible, that to come
to anything like a just. conclusion, we must
look behind the men as candidates and
examine their past record and present po
sition. In thus looking at the past and
present of our three candidates for Assem
bly, we finl that our nominee, Capt. W'm.
K. Burchinell, has always been a consistent
Republican, and is not a "renegade Dem
ocrat." That when the country was at its
greatest need he showed his patriotism by
leaving a home, controlled by Democratic
influence, against his father's will, and en
tering the ranks as a volunteer. While
there, we find that he was promoted to the
rank of Captain, and, after peace was de
chired, he settled in his native town in a
legitimate business, which he has since
controlled, and as the active member of the
firm, has gained for himself a character
which is unexceptionable. He is consid
ered an honest and upright dealer, by all
who have come in contact with him, in a
business way. His position on the pres
ent agitating question is open and avowed.
He will support and defend the Local Op
tion Law as it stands, and oppose any
change or amendment that may be pro
posed. This certainly is all that any sane
temperance man could ask. or the most
radical could promise.
Mt Democratic candidate has had two
terms at Harrisburg. where he never
opened his mouth in defense of any meas
ure for the good of our country. Flo re
peatedly and openly opposed the passage
of the Local Option bill, and now as open
ly promises to vote for its repeal. He has
no legitimate business, nor has he had for
years. He is possessed of great wealth,
which he only uses for his own pleasures
and indulgences, and in his own town and
township is not considered, by good men,
as of any advantage to society. During
the War he stayed at home all the time,
receiving government favors, but never
defending any measure by word or hand.
He frequently called the war a "failure,"
and harped on the old Democratic chord
of "unconstitutional." He is a man of
chance, having no claims on intelligent
suffrages, or on any but those identified
with the liquor interest, as his mind is of
a low grade, and his political principles
favor nothing else than the free use of
whiskey.
The other, sailing under the enphonious
title of Repablico-Temperance candidate,
claims Republican and temperance votes.
His political history is enough to convince
any man of common sense that he is inca
pable of holding any opinion from one
campaign to the next. He will advocate '
anything that will bring him before the
people. At every election for years he has
been a political aspirant, and hai never as
yet been elected. Ile is now a man sore
from disappointments, feeling that he pos
sesses some great, but unappreciated worth,
but that he is being made a "cat's paw" of
in this contest by shrewd and unscrupulous
tricksters, is not for a moment doubted
here. His present opinions are at direct
variance with those of former years. He
principally claims the help of temperance
votes, when his compeers, his advocates
and his own assertions are enough to con
vince any who will think of it, that the
film of temperance that is thrown around
him, is but intended to reflect votes to
cause the election of the known champion
of the liquor interest, and is just "thin
enough" to show the real motive. His
loudest defenders are not prudent enough
here to bide their great desire for the elec
tion of McAteer. His past life and pres
ent state prove him to be totally unfit to
represent sane men, and at times not to be
held accountable for his own assertions.
The hereditary taint of which he is the
helpless possessor—a brother and nephew,
actual victims and incurable subjects—
the certain gradation from a mind diseased
to positive insanity—would be considered
ample reason for his not being a real
can
didate, but rather entitle him to our com
passion and pity. No man in the county,
who is well informed, can have an idea of
Dunn receiving a larger vote than he did
on the Labor Union ticket last fall. The
circumstances attending his nomination, a
convention without a constituency, the
whiskey men the moving power, all cer
tainly betoken a candidate without sup
porters. In our section Burehinell and
McAteer aro the candidates, for the voters
of Porter have had this same play re
hearsed, and at the coming election not five
votes will be lost. McAteer will receive
the Democratic (including in this name
the Bastard Republican or League) votes,
and Burchincll will have a larger poll
than Lane last fall, as he has many en
thusiastic friend 4. Messrs. Laird, Christy
& Graffius say their verse very well in the
play, but it is of no effect, as their charac
ters are in perfect unison with this work,
and more suitable men could not be found
among us.
um. When Woods wants to Make a good
impression upon the Democrats and make
them come down heavy, he says, "here's
" B. F. Douglass, John Logan, Wm. H.
" Brewster, Dr. Shade, Adum Ifeeater,
" Evans, C. K. Horton, Harris Rich
" ardFon, Judge Beaver, Robert Laird,
" Henry G raffi us, David Grove, etc , etc.,
" they belong to me ! I can just vote them
" as I please ! Now, these fellows are worth
" money. Sock up if you want them."
And he sells them like so ninny cattle.
Stiir When you want to get a nomina
tion always charge your opponent with all
the unpopular things you can think of,
but when you want him to help to elect
you be sure to forget all about your former
little playfulness. It is so convenient to
be oblivious
POLITICAL PROPHETS.
The disciples of Guss are trying to keep
up their own courage, and bamboozle oth
ers, by enormous estimates of the votes
they are going to get for their political
Moses, Dunn, whom they expect to lead
them through the wilderness into a new
Canaan, where Poor Houses and Orphan
Soldiers' Schools are the substitutes for
milk and hone . If he ever gets through
it will be after a wandering of firty years,
when all the present generation of his po
litical friends have all died by the way
for no Moses, ancient or modern, could
ever carry the load he has to carry in his
present company. When they tell you
Dunn is going to get 1500 votes (which
by the way is only about half enough to
elect him) just ask then, for the names,
in your own neighborhood. Who, after
all, will vote for Dunn except the little
band of Leaguers who always vote against
all thaLpart of the ticket not composed of
their own gang ? If they could not de-.
feat Lane, the regular candidate for Legis
lature, last year, when they had the whole
Democratic party to aid them, how aro
they going to do it this year, when the
Democrats have a candidate of their own ?
Either the McAteer men must go to Dunn
or the Dunn men to McAteer. If you
want to make a respectable Democrat
swear, just hint to him the idea of his be
coming a tail to Guss' kite. That class of
Democrats say Guss and his mon may vote
for their candidates, but that is all—they
don't want it known, or anything said
about it.
As to Dunn's pretended friends going
over to McAteer, on the eve of the elec
tion, let him find that out for himself—if
he don't find it out before the election he
will afterwards. Personally we have
nothing against Mr. Dunn, and if he wants
to count his chickens betbre they are batch
ed, we could give him a far better rule to
go by than the wild calculations his pre
tended friends make for him. Running,
as ho is, without a party, and put up, as
he has been, by a few self-constituted del
egates, he may safely count that every man
who has any notion of voting for him will
let him know it either by letter or word of
mouth. Now if he will keep a careful
record of every vote thus promised, and
then deduct one for lying, and other in
firmities of human nature, he will have a
fair approximate.estimate of the number
of votes he will get. If he can't figure it 1
out on that basis, why, then, he had better
"get out of the draft."
We do not wish to be considered as of
fering Mr. Dunn any advice, but writing
about political prophets has inspired us to
say just this much in that line, and noth
ing more.
&V' Oliver E. McNeil, Esq., the Demo
cratic candidate for Treasurer, appears to
be very much alarmed because it is alleged
that he disparaged the claims of his rival
for the nomination, Wm. H. DeArmitt, on
the ground that he is a Catholic. He de
nies emphatically that he did so. "When
the devil was sick the devil a monk would
be," but it is said "when the devil got well
the devil a monk was he." Men become
singularly oblivious under such circum
stances. We have experienced the same
many times in a short career. We remem
ber distinctly having been told in the De
mocratic Convention, by a disinterested
party, that Mr. McNeil and his friends
were using this argument against Mr. De-
Armitt. We were told this before the
nomination was perfected, and, if it were
not so, how did this report receive curren
cy so early in the day'? Will you answer
this, Mr. McNeil ?
Ilia_ Owing to our inability to reach
some of our League friends, who are in
debted to us and who appear to be very
slow about paying up, we had a column
and u half advertisement in the first and
second columns of the third page of the
Globe of last week. The matter was to be
introduced in such a way that no one
would suppose it was our "ad." which was
very cleverly done. As few othersare pa
tronizing the Globe we wanted to do a
neighborly thing. It will occasionally call
attention to this enterprise of oars in the
future.
fteir The Globe which is supporting a
man for Legislators on a temperance Plat
form who is not in favor of the Local Option
Law, and who, it is said, takes occasionally
a "than" too much, is very anxious to
know why the Regular Convention did
not pass a resolution approving of the Local
Option Law. The Republican party does
not make temperance an article of its
creed, but it never fails to sustain the
good cause, and to it can be attributed all
the wholesome laws upon the subject.
Stir What a marvelous change can come
over the spirit of a man's thoughts in a
few fleeting moments. Before Democrats
from the country visit Mr. Speer's office
they know nothing of there being any
Dunn men in their neighborhood, but tho
tune changes after a visit to that locality.
Then they know of plenty of Dunn men,
but they must be nameless. A nice little
game, but it's too thin !
re),.. Guns and Woods have only one ob
ject in this campaign and that is to defeat
Capt. Burchinell. A vote for Dunn is
only one against Iturchinell but a vote for
McAteer counts two. Does any one
doubt for whom these fellows and their
friends will vote? The man who doubts
mu=t be very stupid. Poor Dunn will be
completely Dunn for!
PORTER.
Ili Guss boasts that he carries Cass
ville and Cass township in his pocket.
These fellows have to vote just as he says
or he will stop the Orphan School patron
age upon them! That's the way he puts
it. Can it be possible that the Repub
licans of that section are slaves? We
believe it is a base libel.
gm. David Dunn was nominated as a
temperance candidate, yet he keeps liquors
constantly on hand in his cellar, and drinks
them to such an extent, that his friends
have feared that he was indulging to free
ly. A beautiful temperance man, truly !
Dunn charges Burchinell with in
temperance. If this is not the pot calling
the kettle black, with a vengeance, then
we will knock undor !
The Pais Doißess Como to a Ratt !
We arc intrreed that 11. J. McAteer,
esq , the Democratic candidate flu. Legis
lature, has his pockets full of Pennsybiania
Railread Passes, ieeued by some of the
subordinates of the Company, and is hand
ing them out freely. We have positive in
formation, front Philadelphia, that an
'ORDER HAS BEEN ISSUED, by the
President of the Company, at the instance
of the Board of Directors, DIRECTING ALL
CONDUCTORS, ON TUE PRESENTATION OF
THIS KIND OF PASSES, TO TAKE THEM
UP AND CHARGE FULL FARE!
We challenge Mr. McAteer to publicly
deny the Facts contained in this article.
se, To charge Mr. DeArmitt with be
ing a Catholic may have been a goodthing
to beat hint with for the nomination for
Treasurer, but it don't just appear to be
the best thing to secure an election with.
The friends of McNeil could use this ef
fectually, but, of course, Oliver would
know nothing about it! Oh, no!
sm. The best answer that can be given
to the charge of intemperance against
Capt. Burchinell is the fact that every
leading Republican Temperance man in
Huntingdon is supporting him. If he
were addicted to intemperate habits these
men would give him the go-by at once.

The Te mperance (?) Ticket.
Mat. EDITOR :—I have been somewhat
amused at the temperance protestations of
the men who are running the Guss-Woods-
Dunn-Green ticket. They had some heavy
temperance men as delegates to the Guss
convention. I happen to know some of
them. I could name men reported by the
Globe as having
been delegates at that
convention who have net drawn a sober
breath for years, who did all they could to
defeat Lane last year because he had voted
for the Local Option Law, and who did
all they could to get out a full whiskey
vote last spring. -Vow they are urging
Temperance men to vote for Dunn. They
are in earnest about it ; further on I will
state why.
In the call for that convention there
was nothing said about nominating a tem
perance ticket. Certainly there was no
thought of doing the cause of temperance
any service by holding such a convention.
The object of the convention was to nom
inate a ticket which would take enough
votes from the regular republican ticket to
elect the democratic ticket. Knowing
that the Woods vote alone could not ac
complish that object the wily
. managers of
that League conceived the idea of fix
ing a temperance plank to their platform,
and of calling their ticket a temperance
ticket. No true temperance man, who is
not a silly dolt, will be deceived by them.
Mr. Dann is the 'mad and front ofthe
Guss ticket. Mr. Dunn is the only can
didate who was waited upon by a commit
tee and escorted to the meeting to make a
speech for the unterrified. Mr. Dunn is
the only nominee of the Guss convention
who had the hardihood to say that he
would not have accepted of the nomination
if they had not put that temperance plank
in their platform. Mr. Dunn rosy possi
bly be the only candidate oa that ticket
who keeps a keg of old rye whiskey in his
cellar. I like consistency. A man who
can buy a whole keg of whiskey at a time
may possibly be in favor of the Local Op
tion Law, you know it would'nt effect him
any. But if we temperance people ever
nominate a temperance ticket we want men
on it who.do not keep whiskey and ale in
their cellars; and we shan't want to hear
whiskey men use as an argument in favor
of the whiskey traffic, that Mr. Dunn the
temperance candidate for the assembly and
of course one of the leading temperance
men of the county—buys a whole keg of
whiskey at a time.
Let me give the situation as I under
stand it, in a temperance sort of view.
The republican party is the party to which
temperance men must look for aid in keep
ing the Local Option-Law upon the statute
books. The republican party placed it
there. In the event of there being a
democratic majority in the Legislature
that law would be repealed in twenty-four
hours after the meeting of that body.
Democrats are making great efforts to car
ry the Legislature next winter for this
very purpose. It would be ungrateful for
temperance people to desert the republi
can party now, even to get up a bona
fide temperance ticket.
Why are the manipulators of the Gum
' Woods fandango so anxious to get temper
ence men to vote for Dunn ? Why do we
hear democrats and whisky men all over the
county talking exultingly of the heavy
vote Dunn will have at the coming election?
Because they are all interested in the
election of McAteer, and his election
would be one more vote against Local
Option. They all know that Dunn has
not the ghost of a chance of an election.
And they know that Burehinell, ifelected,
will he bound to oppose the repeal of
Local Option law.
There a:e so , ny tempzrance men in the
democratic party oho will not vete for
McAteer. The league Losses, along with
the whiskey ring, hope to get these, with
as many temperance republicans as possi
ble, to vote for Dann. Every vote for
Dunn is half a vote for McAteer. They
would rather have half a vote for him than
a whole vote agaiii . st him.
I have said nothing about any of the
other candidates on that Guss ticket. It
is not worth while. Outside of the notices
of them in the Globe, I have hardly heard
their names mentioned since their nomin
ation. They were only tied on as a tail
for the kite who was nominated for assem
bly. It is abciut the election of an assem
blymen that will suit their notions of
things that the. democrats and whiskey
men and Woods men are particularly anx
ious; and it is for this that they would
make fools of temperance men by having
them vote-for Dunn, while the real Simon
pure Woods men, whiskey men and dem
ocrats will vote for the gay and festive
H. J. McAteer. Are there in Hunting.
county any temperance men who will do
their bidding ?

EDITOR JOURNAL :—I see two commu
nications in the last Globe, that chaste
sheet published by that virtuous editor
they call (fuss, the one signed "Spring
field," and the other "John Clay," which
lam well satisfied are the productions of
the same pen. Now, Mr. Editor, your
readers can rely upon the fact that Charles
R. McCarthy and Thos. L. Utley, who are
attacked by that unscrupulous individual,
are as far above him in regard to virtue,
temperance, capability to fill most any po
sition, and morality generally, as the
heavens are above the earth. A man who
stinks in the nostrils of the community
should be the last individual to traduce
and vilify his neighbors. Mr. McCarthy
is a worthy citizen and will make a good
County Commissioner. He is honest, ca
pable and obliging. He will be no tool
for the Woods Ring, nor for any renegade
Republican like the author of those eon].
munications. I trust the people will see
that he is elected, and they will have a
judicious and faithful servant.
"Springfield" charges Mr. Utley with
canvassing the county, procuring the
names of persons to a petition praying the
Directors of the Poor to appoint him
Steward of the Poor House. Now I don't
know that Mr. Utley has done this; but
suppose he has—what harm is there in it ?
What wrong has he committed? Had be
not the right to so if he chose? If he is
irying to secure the appointment of Stew
ard there is not half as much wrong in that
as there is in a man who sells whiskey to
minors and helps others to steal wine out
of his neighbor's cellar. Mr Utley would
make a good Steward, and is well qualified
for the place in every respect. He makes
an obliging and faithful Postmaster, and
would be so *ere he Steward of the Poor
House. •
Guss and Woods have 4 sorry time try
ing to work their bogus ticket into popu
lar favor. They are, in my opinion, pur
suing the wrong course to do that. The
people of Huntingdon county can never
be persuaded by such arguments as the
Globe uses week after week—lying, slander
and blackguardiana of every species. I
hope the whole ticket, from Burchinell
down, will be triumphantly elected. Such
men as Gass and Woods are pretty speci
mens of humanity to have charge of the
Republican party of Huntingdon county.
I feel confident • that the people will give
them such a rebuke on the 14th day of
October that they will feel it for all time
to come.
SIIIIILEY TOWNSHIP, Sept. 27th, 1873.
EDITOR JOURNAL :—We are no
politi
cian nor a writer for newspapers, but
having just read a letter in the Globe, of
the 25th, inst., purporting to have been
written by some Philadelphian, signed
"Local Option," we cannot refrain from
trying our hand for once. We have al
ways stood on the Temperance or Prohi
bition Platform, and so we still stand.
Our object has always been to vote the
way that we thought would further the
cause most. "Local Option" says that the
Temperance men of Huntingdon county
have a man in the field pledged to go
against the repeal of the Local Option law,
and that David Dunn will support, to the
utmost of his ability, the temperance meas
ure in every particular. This may be, and
were Mr. Dunn the candidate of the peo
ple, or, in other words, if be was not
brought out for the two-fold purpose of
defeating Burchinell and electing McAteer,
who is running as an anti-Local Option
candidate, we could vote for him.
We almost daily hear Democrats say,
"we have no fears of Dunn ; the contest is
with Burchinell," and that Dunn was
brought out in the interest of the Demo
crats, &c. We know that Burchinell
worked for Local Option last Spring, we
know he is against its repeal now, and that
if elected will do as much against its re
peal in the Legislature as Mr. Dunn could
do for it, while we know that every Tem
perance man that votes for Dunn votes in
directly for McAteer, who, if elected, will
do all he can fin the repeal of the Local
Option law. These being undeniable facts
Temperance men cannot afford to throw
away votes on Dunn and elect a man that
wi , l go directly against their interests.
But vote for Mr. Burchinell, who is just
as safe without his public pledges as was
Mr. Lane last fall, when the very men that
are asking a pledge of Burchinell were
telling us last fall that we should vote for
Lane and all would be right. To vote for
Baker would only be to defeat Lane. The
same will work this fall, but it is the other
osthat is gored. _ _
We know that some of the men that are
electioneering for Dunn, as a pledged can
didate in favor of Local Option, are not in
favor of it themselves, nor did they vote
for it last Spring. but they know if the
Republican ticket is elected the teatcomes
out of their mouths, while they feel per
fectly safe either—in the hands of the
Democrats or Bolters.
We have no interest at stake in the
election save the Temperance Cause, and
we feel safe if Burchinell is elected; we
feel sure Lunn cannot be, and M'Ateer is
directly against us. Then we cannot give
a certainty for an uncertainty; therefore
we (as all good Temperance men should
do) feel it our duty to vote for Burchinell.
Yours truly,
PROHIBITION.
MR• EDITOR :—The Globe of the 16th,
says :
"C. R. McCarthy a year ago wanted to go to
the Democrats and they would not have him."
Now, sir, this is a lie out of the whole
cloth, and there is no man in this county,
who has cheek enough, save A. L. Guss,
to perpetrate such a falsehood. He (Goss)
has turned so many somersaults and in
vented so many lies to keep out of the
penitentiary that lie cannot take a step now
and tell the truth.
There is no truer party man in this
county than C.R. McCarthy—even Speer's
greenbacks could not, move him, and that
is more than A. L. Guss can say and tell
the truth. C. R. McCarthy's neighbors
know him cud will vote for him without
distinction of party.
