Our sympathies are all with the Journal. Politicians must be taught that fidelity to party don't re quire ally editor to expend his time, mosey and brains for any man or set of men grata i tously.—Hollidaysburg Standard. _ That's so. And no man with the soul of a flea would expect an editor to deny the various charges that are brought against him as a candidate and to keep him before the public, to enable him to realize both honors and profits, without paying for the services. We want it distinctly under stood that our labor is worth all we charge, and we must be paid for it. Our charges are reasonable and just, and we will insist upon payment. Republicalis of rimitiligiloll Comity ! On next Tuesday the unparalleled political strife, which has been wa ged, for many months, in this coun ty, almost entirely through the newspapers, will, we hope, come to a close. We assure our readers that this will be the case so far as the JOURNAL is concerned. We have done our work; it now devolves upon you, honest yeomanry of Hun tingdon county, to do yours. 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING ? Have you done anything to bring about the overthrow of the infamous League that has been fattening upon your hard earnings for years If you have not, you have little appreciation of the bitter struggle and fierce denunciation which those who have been fighting your battles have encountered ! The fight has been the fight of the Honest People against concen trated Wrong. The fight of the Farmer and Me chanic against a Sworn Band of Conspirators, whose only object has been Plunder ! EDITOR The fight of the Laboring Man against a League which, to him, was equal to a League with Death and the worst that comes after it ! And have you stood here idle all this time ? If you have, it were time that you were buckling on your ar mor and entering the fight! Go to work and let the scoundrels that have been robbing you and eating up your store, feel the force of your efforts ! Visit every Republican in your neighborhood, and see that he at tends the election ! If he cannot attend without aid, help him out ! And on the morning of the elec tion be early on the ground, remain all day, and see that every voter votes the ticket which he desires to vote ! THIS IS YOUR DUTY ! As we have already said, the fight has been to relieve you of a Sworn Band of Scoundrels who have fastened them selves, worse than barnacles, upon the Republican party, and who have been robbing the masses to enrich themselves. We have no further interest in this matter than to re lieve the party and the tax-payers of such parasites. We have made the fight solely for these purposes, and for the additional reason that you asked us to do it; and the re sult has been that we, and a few others, have been abused, libelled, slandered and blackguarded unpar alleled in the history of political warfare. No pirate has been worse assailed. We were in the foreground and received their concentrated fire No libel has been too vile or slander too malicious for them to use, nor has there been a lie too glaring for them to promulgate. We have been obliged to endure this to accom plish the purpose which you and all good citizens desire to have accom plished. Now, will you permit the victory to perch on their banners for want of a few days' earnest work ? We hope not. If we and others have withstood their storm of abuse for your eman cipation, then you should not fail to do the small portion of the work which, will make all our efforts a success. Let not next Tuesday's sun set until every position—strong and weak—of the League is routed and the base sknders which it perpetra ted upon our citizens forced down the throat of the lying author. Work ! WORK f WORK ! FOR THE WHOLE TICKET ! THE LAST CARD EXPOSED. The Globe's "Drug' SOBERED !! The Globe, of this week, contains an article of almost a column, charging Capt. Burchinell with having attended a party, at Waterstreet, without date, and having been excessively in toxicated on the occasion. Fortunately there were others who attended the party in ques tion, among whom was Lieut. W. F. Cunning ham, who, it will be seen, makes the following affidavit covering the charge in question HUNTINGDON COUNTY, SS. Before me, a Justice of the Peace in and for said county, personally appeared W. F. Cun ningham, who, being duly sworn according to law, does depose and say: That his attention has been called to a charge which, it is alleged will be made public through the columns of the Huntingdon Globe, this week, charging Capt. Wm. K. Bnrchinell with having attend ed a party, at Waterstreet, some time last win ter, and with having been drunk on said oc casion and having been carried to bed. Wm. K. BUTChillail was, TO KY CERTAIN KNOWLEDGE, NOT DRUNK ON SAID OCCASION, nor was he carried to bed, and the story is a malicious slander, gotten up to defeat an innocent man. W. F. CUNNINGHAM'. Sworn and subscribed, before me, this 7th day of October, 1873. JNO. 0. MURRAY, J. P. The people can now see what the men who are running the League will do. Was there ever a more villainous set of scoundrels left unhung ? SOLDIERS, READ THE CHARGES OF COWARDICE PREFERRED AGAINST A COMRADE IN THIS WEEK'S Globe. Every soldier will resent, with his ballot, the assault upon the honor and the patriotism of those who took their lives in their hands. No soldier will allow a comrade to be struck down in this way. No I No! ! A coward may, bat a soldier, NEM! SOLDIERS, STAND BY YOUR COMRADES AND RESENT THE INSULT. WOODS, M'ATEER, M'KNIGHT WIL LIAMSON AND PETRIKEN IN THE LOWER END. These gentlemen went together to the Lower End to get all the substantial Leaguers to go for McAteer. The last link in the chain has been riveted. Sheriff Neeley, Doc. Thompson, Dr. Shade and John Logan are to work from this out directly for McAteer, unless the voter cannot be controlled to this extent, when he is to go for Dunn. We knew it would come to this. DUNN TO COME OFF The "Potato Bug" Committee is to meet on the 9th instant, to induce Dunn to draw off, but it will be no go. Punn is on, and the dog is dead, and Burchinell will be the next member of the Legisla ture. Vote for a live man, one who does something for the laboring man. Vote for Burehinell. ABUSING THE PLAINTIFF'S AT- TORNEY. The editor of the Globe this week instead of confining himself to his campaign, as anysen- Bible man who understands the running of one would have done, takes up one-half of his paper abusing us. By drawing his fire we have saved our candidates. Good ! We can stand it. MURDER WILL .011 T! I{o‘7 COlifistor Wiciligoi' can io DO DiSehariEd. Early last week a report. reached here that M. McAteer, esq., the well-known conductor en the Pennsylvania Railroad, had been removed, and at once a terrible howl was set up, by interested parties, charging that it was the result of political persecution. Hon. John Scott and our candidate for the Legislature, Capt. Wm. K. Burchinell, were prominently named as having brought about the removal. Mr. Speer and the Democratic candidate for Assembly got astride of this charge and rode it almost to death. They were going to tear things now ! It was useless for the gentlemen named to assert their innocence. They knew better! And Capt. Burchinell must be defeated. The conspirators, who were harping away on this string, thought they had it all their own way, bet late in the week came a clap of thunder. The following letter, a literal copy of the original, save that we have left out the date and place of destination for obvious reasons, given to a gentleman sometime ago, came to hand. It speaks for itself. It was this little game betweon the brothers, unravelled by "spot. tern" on the road, that did the business: But here is the letter : "ALEXANDRIA, Sept. —, 1873. "DEAR BROTHER :—Take the bear er to on Friday and arrange to send him home on Sunday or Monday. "He is good for several votes. "Your Brother, "HARRY." Address on envelope : "M. McATEER, ESQ., Conductor, P. R. The gentleman to whom this letter was given, is an excellent Republican, and will produce the original, in the handwriting of H. J. McAteer, esq., whenever it is de. sired. This is the way in which votes were being made for McAleer, and the Compa ny defrauded. ! Is there any wonder that his services were dispensed with ? Honest Democrats, you could not get passes! If any one doubts, after reading the above, let him read the following corres pondence between Col. Dorris and J. Ed gar Thomson, esq., President of the Penn sylvania Railroad Company, and be con vinced : "HUNTINGDON, Oct. 4, 1873. ".T. EDGAR THOMSON, "President Penn's. R. R. Co., "Philadelphia: "Friends of Harry McAteer are ;kinking public statements that his brother Matthew was discharged, as Conductor, at the soli citation of Senator Scott and W. K. Burch inell. Another statement is that he was discharged for violation of his duty in passing persons without authority. "As it has become a matter of public comment, in justice to the gentlemen na med. will you please give me the facts ? "WILLIAM DORRIS." "PHILADELPHIA, Oct 4, '73. "Neither Mr. Scott or Burchi nell were instrumental, IN ANY WAY, in procuring the discharge of Mr. McAteer. "J. EDGAR THOMSON." These telegrams ought to settle that lit tle campaign fib ! WHAT A STRANGER THINKS, The officers of the Huntingdon County Agricultural Society do not encourage their own mechanics. if we may judge from their premium list, which we found, a few days since, on the table of the Exchange hotel, in that place. The list was printed at Lancaster. If the men of type in Hun tingdon—of which there are three or four —cannot execute an ordinary pamphlet of fifty pages, they should shut up shop, and go fishing. It may be an act of niggard liness on the part of the offices of the so ciety, that deprived onr cotemporaries of this small job. It is. however, a way some people have of treating those who labor to build up a town—and what class of me chanics contribute more to this end than those connected with the newspaper press? If you desire to retard the progress of a place, to destroy its prosperity, have all your work done abroad. make all your pur chases in the cities, and soon the mechan ics and storekeepers will be driven out, and the hogs and cattle will take possession of your streets and roam unmolested, just as they do in Huntingdon.—Delaware Coun ty Republican. DR4WING HIS BACK PAY. McAteer is a true disciple of the back pay school. He was in the Democratic Convention and voted for the approval of "Back Pay Speer." He was not content with having drawn his pay while a con ductor on the Penn's. Railroad, but puts in for a little back pay by getting his brother to carry passengers on his private notes who are "good for several votes." When caught in this. Speer takes up the cry of his back pay brother and endorser, and starts to the lower end of the county, getting down to the dirty business of re tailing the miserable falsehood that Sena tor Scott had caused the discharge of Mc- Ateer's brother. That slander has come to roost, and the two back pay disciples who carried and circulated it have found their mistake. Are they manly enough to retract their slander ? THE GAME NOT WORTH THE • CANDLE. Occasionally some persons from the country, who think the decencies of life should be respected, ask a question why the editor of the Globe is not prosecuted and punished for some of the libels which are every week appearing in his sheet. They have the idea that it is the duty of some public officer to prosecute what every body considers a common nuisance. When informed, however, that it is not the duty of the Prosecuting Attorney or any other public officer, unless some citizen made the information, they all agree that the people libelled do right, that they '•could not handle pitch and not be defiled by it," and that it is as well to let him go on and die of his own nastiness. THE BRIDGE FABRICATION. Jonathan Evans, esq , has been endeav oring to make the people, who are interest ed in a bridge across the Juniata, at or near Brumbaugh's, in Penn township. be lieve that the reason no bridge has been erected at that point, is, that the Grand Jury refused to approve of the site. This is not the case. Both the Grand Jury and Court approved of the matter many months ago, and Evans has opposed is erection, and all his promises to the effect that if the people will elect Gilliland he, Evans, will join him and erect a bridge at that point. come to naught. He is fooling you. Vote for McCarthy. THE YOUNG MEN TO THE FRONT. The intelligent and active young men of the county are with us. They are hit ting the League fearful licks. This is right. Intelligence and honesty cannot abide such an infamous organization. A BASE SLANDER NAILED! Capt. Ban Mull a Met industrious all Moral Citizen I. MAW OF THE LEAGUE EXPOSED ! Immediately after the 12th of Ai test ' Convention, the leaders of the iulhmous League, began to cast about them to find sonic pretext fur opposing the excellent ticket, fresh from the people, nominated by this. Convention.. They had one prin .Mpal 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 an effort to defeat Capt. Burchinell. They saw very readily, as soon as H. J. McAteer, el., 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 COWARD, but a man who deserved well at the hands of those whose lives and pro perly he had helped to save, even if he had had a few trifling weaknesses that are common to the lot of the brave 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." Sp ridiculous did this charge seem to those who are iktimately acquainted with Capt. Burchinell, that it was thought un worthy of notice, but so persistently has the story been repeated, by iuterested persons, that a few Republicans, who are unacquainted with Capt. Burchinell, have applied to us for infbrmation 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. Burchinell & Son," to conduct a Planing Mill 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, &c., &c., while the father took contracts for finished staff and the erection and superintending of build ings. The responsibility of running the mill rested upon the shoulders of the Captain, and no man can suporiutend 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 lie 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. Eurehinell 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 jot ity over all opponents. WHY I WON'T VOTE FOR DUNN. MR. EDITOR :-I will not vote for Da• vid Dunn Ist. Because he is the tool of the Thugs. 2d. Because he is running in the in terest of McAteer. 3d. Because he is willing to be the can didate of any party. 4th. Because dims, Woods & Co. are his masters, and he has to dance to their music. sth. Because he gives the lie to his Temperance professions, by keeping his whiskey and ale in his cellar. 6th Because if enough Republicans vote fur him to elect M'Ateer his masters will pocket that other thousand dollars promised them. HONEST REPUBLICAN CAN YOU TRUST HIM ? We call the attention of the people to the facts stated elsewhere in this number of the JOURNAL, exposing a falsehood in tended to injure Capt. Burchinell, and showing how H. J. McAteer was himself the cause of his brother's discharge from employment by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. When they look at this, let them ask the question whether the man who would enter into a conspiracy to de fraud his former employers, and when do tected in it resort to the slander of other people to cover his tracks and divert at tention from the real author of his broth er's misfortune, is the right character to represent them in the Legislature? If he would defraud his former employers, would he scruple much at betraying the people's interests ? HORNING WILL RETAIN LOGAN. Two weeks ago we charged Gilbert Horning with being committed to the re tention of Logan as Steward of the Poor House in the event of his election. He has made no public denial since. Silence gives consent. Do you want the Poor House to cost $16,000 a year ? If not, vote for Lee I THE CAT OUT OF THE MEAL TUB. In some parts of the county the Leaguers are already openly for _McAteer, which is a great annoyance to Guss and Woods, as they intended the thing to be done on the sly, in the same manner in which they slaughtered Barker. Guss does some tall cursing on account of the exposure. Gusa is running Green strong. It won't effect yon, Tommy ! Thoro aro Only Two Parties, Vote the Republican Ticket at Our 'Mast-head . Bane our next issue, the fate of the candidates, and in a great measure the fate of the Republican party, in this coun ty, will be decided. We have no other interest in the matter than the success of the party whose principles we uphold, be cause we believe them right; neither have we any fears of the result, unless the Re publican voters of this county are more easily misled than we suppose. We do not propose to go over the ques tions discussed fbr several weeks in these columns, but merely place the issue before the people in its true light, and leave it in their hands. The ticket, at the head of our columns, was regularly and fairly nominated, by a Convention called and organized according to the strict usages of' the party. It is not only the ticket, and 'the ONLY ticket of the Republican party, but it is compo sed of as good men, from top to bottom, as ever claimed your suffrages. Why should it not be supported by every Republican in the county Why was the second, or Bogus ticket, put up ? Only because it was not composed of the tools and adhe rents of the League ! There was no dis satisfaction anywhere else in the party.— "Rule or ruin" is their motto, and as no party or individual, who has any self-res pect, can submit to their rule, let them have the ruin which they have invoked by their violent and unreasonable conduct. Surely no amount of falsehood and slan derous attacks on the part of pretended Republicans can deprive our candidates of of the support of the party. The men who make these charges do not believe a word of them. They are made only to divide the party they pretend to support, and to defeat its eandidatei without any hope or intention of electing their own. It is not our purpose, nor is it necessary, to attack the men set up by the League as its can didates It is composed of as good mate rial as could be induced to become its tools for such a purpcse, and it is, perhaps,more their misfortune than their fault that they have been placed in such a ridiculous po sition. There is hardly a man on this ticket who was the first choice of these conspira tors, nor will they be the LAST choice when it comes to election day. Fatally bent on mischief, it was necessary to have candidates, and such had to be taken as could be flattered into accepting or induced to keep quiet. But we will not waste am munition on "dead ducks." There is no earthly reason why any one outside of the -three to eight" original Leaguers in a township should vote for them, and we are abundantly convinced, by the information in our possession, that they are only keep ing up these candidates as a blind, what ever the candidates themselves may think. Now. Republicans of Huntingdon coun ty, there are really but two parties and two tickets. One is Republican and the other Democratic. A vote fur any other than thu ticket at our mast-head, is a vote against your party, against your princi ples, and in favor of your old opponents, who only need one more sound thrashing, such as we are ab.e to give them, in order to end their days in this good old county. Let us stand up to the work, then, and elect our whole ticket, without a scratch or a blot, and our word for it you will nev er regret it. Let us have peace. A WORD FOR THINKING PEOPLE. The Globe asserts, very flippantly, that the contest for Assembly is confined to Dunn and McAteer, and that Burchinell is out of the question. If this be the case why does the Globe take up columns ma ligning and traducing the Captain ? If he is not in the question why keep on pummelling him ? Why not turn its at tenth') to McAteer ? A casual reader would suppose, from reading its weekly diatribes, that McAteer was out of the question and the fight was between Dunn and Burchinell. Reader, the secret of all this is that McAteer is its candidate; Dunn is a mere screen, a blind! AN IDEA FOR TEMPERANCE MEN, The Globe is supporting Dunn on a Temperance Platform, yet there has never been an allusion, in that paper, to the re cord made by H. J. McAteer, esq., during two successive Winters, at Harrisburg, in vigorously opposing Local Option, or to his opposing it violently, at the polls, last Spring. Ain't this queer consistency ? Every person would suppose that a Tem perance man would make use of all such little pranks, on the part of an opposing candidate, but the Globe "can't see it." It's been "seen;" THE MONEY HAS BEEN PAID OVER ! Temperance is a dodge, and Dunn is a mere stool-pigeon: THEY SWEAR LIKE TROOPERS I Gum and Woods say "Doc. Thompson is a d—n fool for openly advocating McAteer's elcotion." They say "the ar rangement was to hurrah for Dunn, but vote for McAteer on the sly! They are considerably down in the mouth at this exposure, and heap curses, both loud and deep, upon the head of the indiscreet Thompson. THE PRESIDENT OF THE GREELEY CLUB TO THE RESCUE. A sorehead named Thompson, who was President of the Greeley Club, last Fall, is out in a card in the last Globe, gotten up by Cuss or Woods or both jointly, in which he reflects upon Mr. Macdonald. We suppose the latter can stand it, con , sidering the source. It was this same Thompson who deceived Mr. Macdonald in regard to the character of the Bolters' Convention. This is the milk in the cocoa nut. JUST THE MAN ! The Monitor of this week says that our candidate for Treasurer is worth from $15,000 to $20,000. Well, suppose he is ? This is the strongest argument that can be used in favor of his election. If he is able to take care of his own monetary matters, the tax-payers can rest assured that he is the proper person to guard the funds of the county. Vote for Montgom ery; he is honest and capable. MEEK TRIES HIS HAND. The last Bellefonte Watchman says that the Republican candidate for Assembly in this county is trading off our candidate for Senator. This is a whopper ! There is no necessity for anything of the kind, and no person, except Meek, ever thought of such an improbable thing. That's a poor campaign lie, Meek. It won't win ! 0, YES!' 0, YES! The Bellefonte Watchman declares that Waream was Prothonotary of this county and also Treasurer, all of which is news to the people of this county. He was years ago Register and Recorder, then clerk to the commissioners, next justice of the peace, and lastly promoted to vendue crier —the last two of which he still holds.— Lewistown Gazette. m. Republicans, turn out on Tuesday neat, and overwhelm the combined oppo sition of Democrats and Leaguers! Vote the whole ticket ! A REGULAR JAME McAtm ad Gus Diu di Together. DAVY DUNN SOLD OUT CLEAN. On Thursday night, of last week, H. J. McAteer and Reverend Professor Abraham Lecherous Guss, editor of the Thugs' Own, met in a down-town beer saloon for the purpose of holding a "korkus" and making final arrangements for the entire force of Leaguers to vote for McAteer. harry had purchased a keg of beer, and he and the Reverend indulged so frequently that they soon became very drunk and noisy. Drunk men, as a general thing, are not very din treat in their conversation, and these two worthies were no exception to the rule.— While half-seas-over, they talked so loud that they could be heard by persons in an adjoining room, and it was discovered that Guns wane SELLING DUNN and promis ing to fill his paper this week with all manner of ialschoods and misrepresenta tions for the purpose of trying to injure Capt. Burchinell, even to the publication of LYING AFFIDAVITS ! At a late hour of the night they left the "shebang," and Harry was so delighted with the ar rangement that he could not refrain from patting the Reverend on his pious head and singing that once popular song, enti tled, "Your'e the Bully Boy with the Glass Eye!" Republicans, these are the men who are circulating stories derogatory to the char acter of Capt. Burchinell for sobriety and morality. They concoct their lies while in a state of intoxication, and ask respect able men to credit them : Ain'tthey beau ties to traduce any man's character Out upon such miscreants ! They deserve the contempt and condemnation of every lover of good morals in the county. Show your disapproval of such baseness by giving a solid vote to Capt. W. K. Burchinell. P. S.—Since the above was in type we learn that on Friday morning, after the drunk, the Reverend had some money to pay his employees!. Did M'Ateer furnish it ? or who ? WHAT THE REPUBLICAN PRO— POSE TO DO WHO VOTES THE "POTATO BUG TICKET." 1. To defeat the Republican party. 2. To elect the Democratic ticket. 3. To ignore the Republiean organiza- Lion. 4. To encourage Bolting and guerilla ism. 5. To aid and encourage a Sworn Band of political Thugs. (;. To foster a League that supports on ly its own members. 7. To encourage John Logan to increase the Poor House expenses. 8. To apologize, for Laird and other Leaguers who have robbed the people by taxation. 9.

EDITOR :—Wesley Wright, the "Potato Bug" candidate for Jury Commis sioner, is one of the men who fastened the bounty tax on Union township, and so burthensome has this tax become that tax payers are almost despondent of ever rid ding themselves of this unjust debt. There seems to be a mystery connected with this bounty tax. Thousands of dollars were borrowed, but soldiers received their boun ty in bonds. Where did the money go to ? Since then, those who figured in this bounty tax have been able to buy farms, build houses and barns, but before this they were too poor to build a respectable hen-coop The question naturally presents itself : •'Where did they get the money ?" UNION. TOO THIN A LIE The Monitor of this week has taken up the lie of the Gibe, of a recent date, and says that Mr. Montgomery is running for Treasurer for the purpose of giving the office to A. Tyhurst, esq. This is simply a lie out of the whole cloth. Mr. Mont. gomery, 'when elected,—and there is no doubt of his election—will discharge the duties of the office in person, the lies of the Globe and .Monitor to the contrary not withstanding. Vote for Montgomery, the Farmers' candidate! THE LEAGUE GOBBLES UP THE TAXES. In Porter and Union. and, in filet, wherever the League has had control of things. the peoples' taxes have been pour ed out like water. Keep the affairs of the county out of their hands. Vote for Mont gomery, McCarthy, Lee, Davis, Stewart, and Laporte! HOW THE DEMOCRATS PLAY OFF ON DUNN. When Dunn approaches a Democrat he is invariably told that all the Republicans in the neighborhood of the said Democrat are going to vote for him. Dunn sucks it all. In a number of districts he will be honored, when the returns are counted out, with a goose egg (0). IN ITS DEATH THROES! The League dies hard! An outraged people have the monster by the throat and it will be throttled to death 'ere Tuesday's sun sets. Republicans, tighten on the dangerous organization, and forever wipe it from the face of the earth. Vote the whole ticket ! WORDS OF CHEER. Reports from every section of the county give promise of a glorious Republican tri umph on Tuesday next. Close up the ranks, Freemen, and make a sweeping charge upon the lines of the Democrats and the Sworn Conspirators ! THE LEAGUERS IN UNION FOR 3PATEER. We learn from Union that the Leaguers, to a man, are going for McAteer Thus they go and poor Dunn is bamboozled ! A little ordinary shrewdness would have saved him this mortification. BEWARE OF ROORBACKS . All manner of tricks will be concocted by the Leaguers to defeat our candidates. Pay no attention to eleventh hour cards! They will be lies manufactured for the oc casion. VOTE FOR BURCHINELL ! Hama for Burchinell, the poor man's friend ! A long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether, and the enemies of a pure jury-box must go to the wall! TURN OUT ! TURN OUT ! Don't let a Republican voter stay at home on Tuesday next. A full vote, and the victory will be complete. Up, guards, and at 'em ! WATCH THE WINDOWS ! Honest Republicans, watch the election polls, and see that the Thugs do not cheat the unsuspecting. Watch them ! REPUBLICANS, CONSIDER. Fiest. That you ha tea ticket composed of good men, nominated in the regular way, by a Convention called by the recog nized Chairman of the County Committee. composed of delegates elected by the Peo ple, and it is entitled to your support. Second. That the Democrats have nom inated a full ticket and are supporting it in opposition to the regular Republican ticket. Third. That the only hope the Demo crats have of electing any part of their ticket arises from the action of the few members of the Secret League who have set up a Bogus Ticket and are trying to deceive the people by calling it. a Repub lican ticket. Fourth. That the Democrats assisted in getting up the Bogus Convention, which nominated the ticket of Bolters in their interest. Fifth. That not one word has been said, in the Globe, the Bolters' organ, against the Democratic ticket, while it has been unsparing in its abuse of every nian on the kepublican ticket. Sixth. That quite a number of the men who were delegates to the Bolters' Con vention. are now out openly advocating the election of Democrats. Seventh. Putting all these things to gether, consider it certain that the Bolters and the Democrats will join hands, on the day of the election, for the election of the Democratic ticket, and as you cherish your party and yosr principles, give your efforts to get out every Republics n vote, and show that the true Republi can • party of the county is stronger than the Democrats and the League combined. WATCH THE TICKET. It has been reported to is that a sys tematic effort would be made, by the Leaguers, to destroy our tickets throughout the county. See to this. These scoun drels will do anything to carry their point.; POLITICAL FINE-CI7T. Vote the ticket solid! Don't scratch a name ! Take the lame and sick to the polls. See that your neighbor turns out on Tuesday. M'Ateer is in favor of the Back Pay Steal! Vote for Machinell! Dunn will be the worst whipped man that ever ran for office in thcc• county. Only give Dunn a nomivation for of fice and he is happy! Pow: Dunn Republicans, don't be caught napping. Work unceasingly for the whole ticket The soldiers, to a man, will vote for their brave and gallant comrade, W. K. Burehinell. Get out every Republican vote in your district. A full vote and the Thugs must go to the wall ! Soldiers, vote far the man wlio endured the hardships of war with you. Vote lbr Burchinell ! Tax-payers, if you don't want a shave shop made out of the Treasurer's office. vote for Montgomery. Vote for James H. Lee, and thus be cure the removal of John Logan as Stew ard of the Poor House. Guss and Woods are laboring hard for the election of McAteer. There is anoth er thousand at stake. The editor of the Globe will fill the Jury wheel if Wright, of Union township, is elected Jury Commissioner. If you wish to keep the comuty funds out of the fiands of Leaguers, vote the Republican ticket from top to bottom. By the removal of John Logan, as Steward of the Poor House, th ousands of dollars will be saved annually. Vote for Lee The friends of Will H. DeA rmitt are "going for" M'Neil. They will teach him a lesson that he will not forget. Vote for Montgomery ! "Tommy" Montgomery, for the next two years, will handle the county finances, and he is just the man to do it s ItiSfaCtOr ily. John Logan is shaking in his boots, for he knows that the election of James H. Lee will compel him to pack his traps and travel. Honest Democrats, remember that Mc- Ateer said, by his vote, in the late Dem ocratic county convention that h e was in favor of the Salary Steal: Guss has made a squirt out of Dunn, through which he throws his dirty filth at the Republican nominees. Dann is a fit instrument for such a scallawa.; ! The Thugs have made arrangements to sell out our candidate for Senator. Watch them, and see that no honest Re publican scratches a single name on the ticket. The Thugs will vote solid for McAteer. Poor Dunn wilt be cheated in the same manner that Hon. A. A Barker was by this Sworn Band of political highwaymen ! Since Dunn has become the tool of the Le.gue he has grown as proficient in the use ofblackguard slang as his master, Gass. Shame ! David, to bear false witness against thy neighbor ! Guss, Woods, Speer, Fleming, s Co., were kept busy last week, writing letters for the Thugs' Own, and signing other peoples' names to thew. Vide, Thompson, MeCahan, &c., &c. The Globe says that Capt. Burchinell is a loafer. Pray, then, what is Dunn ? You can see him on the soft side of a box or door-step every day in the year almost. Who, then, is the loafer? The Thugs want to continue to handle the county finances, but the people are de termined that these political highwaymen must take back seats. Vote for Mont gomery, McCarthy and Lee! Tax-payers, if you want to save thous ands of dollars of the peoples' money, vote for "Honest Jim Lee" for Director of the Poor. He will make that honest (0 soul, John Logan, "git up and git!" Goss and Woods are 'trading John Irvin jr.. our candidate for Senator, for votes ii.or Wright, the Thug candidate for Jury Commissioner. If you don't want packed Juries, vote for Col. J. G. Stewart. Col. John G. Stewart, our candidate for Jury Commissioner comes in for e share of the vile calumny weekly herald ed in the columns of the Thugs' Own Vote for Col. Stewart, and you will have no packed juries. That's what, hurts these fellows. Since the death of Jacob Weight, who during his lifeteme. was a standing can didate for Assembly. David Dunn has ta ken his place, and so far, fills the bill. Dunn wants office, and he is willing to take a nomination from any clique, ring or party. The miscreant of the Thug organ, be lieving that a lie well stuck to is as good as the truth, still publishes the notorious falsehood that Capt. Burchinell is a rene gade Democrat. He never voted a Dem ocratic ticket in his lite, while the author of this lie has not voted anything else since be was sworn into the Band of Con spirators. 01IT Dllfilfito for Sollgtor. For Senatur,John Irwin, Jr., of Centre county, i- in every way fitted, and we ven ture to say will meet the wants of this die ti-let with an honest elm to legislate for the good of the people if he is elected. There is nothing ache partisan about him. however firm he may he in his political convictions and being one of, and identi fied with, the people, he would do noth ing contrary to their interests in the way of special or injurious general legislation. We hope that the Senatorial contest might be carried on in a proper spirit, but it is difficult for Democratic editors to keep their bands out of dirt or dirty water, as was shown by the paltry statements that Irwin was rich, wore kid gloves, dressed in fine clothes, ,tc., while Waream was a poor man, conveying the impression that he hardly owned a decent hat or clothing, of course with a view of prejudicing the poorer classes against Mr. Irwin. Every body in end about Lewistown knows this statement to be basely false, but it will be used where the facts are not known. Taking their view of the case. let us ask what then does Waream want in the Sen ate? The legitimate pay there is less than he can make in hss several occupa tions at home. IS IT TO MAKE MONEY? Unlike Mr. Irwin he has been a politician and partisen since his majority, and up to the present day has stood arrayed in hostility to what has heretofore proved the (lambent part of the Democratic par ty in this county; and it would be news to us to hear that any Republican candidate has ever received political favor at his hands. Although the "Democratic can didate," does any one believe he will alto gether forego his feelings and prejudices. On the contrary, would it not be most likely, if opportunity presented itself, he would legislate to revenge real or fancied injuries. - Then too there is Local Option.— Neither candidate is pledged to its repeal or continuance, but taking the two men as they stand, who is mosii likely to vote for its repeal? That law was passed for three years, and was so adopted in this senatorial district by a majority exceeding four thousand. Right and justice demand that it shall have a fair trial and be tested by the light of experience. Our own be lief is that Mr. Waream will vote for the repeal of that law at once, while Mr. Irwin will favor its continuance for the term for which it was adoptcd.—Leristorn Ga zette. JURY COMMISSIONER. After all the howl that has been set up in regard to packing juries, by the immor tal Goss, there is no man in the county more interested in packing them than he is, and n) man living in the county that we would not rather trust. Elect Wright, of Union township, and you elect Guss.— The are identical. Had we never heard of Wright's bounty record, the fact that he has no knowledge of the people of the county, outside of a couple of townships, would be sufficient reason why he should not be elected. Vote fur Col. John G. Stewart, who has the qualifications and the moral honesty to act and think for himself. - . COUNTY COMMISSIONER. We call your attention to the importance of voting for C. R. McCarthy, esq., for Commissioner, who is eminently qualified, by his experience as a Justiee of the Peace, and his intimate knowledge of the other business relations of life; besides this he is a man of high moral character and ster ling integrity. He is worthy of the sup port of every voter in the county. lie has always been a consistent Republican, never playing guerrilla to his party like Gilliland, Dunn, Green, Wright, &e. Vote for McCarthy ! DUNN'S OSCEOLO BAGNIO David Dunn, esq., per se Temperance candidate of the Bolters, is the owner of the worst Whiskey Saloon in the town of Osceola, kept by one Pat. McGirk who pays Mr. Dunn $l6 per month rent for the same. If any one doubts this state ment, let them write to Isaac Taylor, esq., brother of the late Judge Taylor, at Osce ola, Clearfield county. who will vouch for the truth of the fact above stated. THE FARMER - 8' CANDIDATE FOR TREASURER. "Tommy" Montgomery is everybody's favorite. He comes from an old Whig stock of farmers that settled in West town ship about the year 1790. The grand father, father and son were consistent Whigs. and at the death of the old Whig party Tommy went with Republicans. lie is a thorough-going man and will do honor to the farming interest. Vote for Mont gomery ! p a „. We stated last week in an analy sis of the Bolters' Convention, that Geo. A. Heaton, Esq., who, by the way, is a most excellent gentleman and too good a man to be identified with a movement of that kind, did not receive any votei for del egate. We are authorized to say that be was not a candidate for delegate and that his name was used, in connection with the Convention, entirely without authority. BURCHINELL THE LABORING MAN'S CANDIDATE. liurchineil has don: more for Huntingdon and Huntingdon county than the other two candidates put together. 139 has for years given constant employment to from thirty to forty men. He is the laboring man's friend. Vote for Burchinell HOW THE OLD THING IS TO WORK, It is currently reported here that Doc Thompson, of Three Springs, an out-and nut Leaguer, is for McAteer straight. The Doctor is developing too fast. He should have held up a few days longer. They will all come to this by the 14th inst., how ever. vs_ Since Hon. Robert W. Mackey bas been State Treasurer, over $5,000,000 of the State debt have been cancelled. This is an argument that tells upon the pocket• of the people. Vote for Mackey. fie" The Democratic candidate for State Treasurer, Mr. Francis M. Hutchinson, is the Treasurer ofthe Pittsburg., Fort Wayne & Chicago monopoly. Farmers, institu tions of this kind have been sucking your life's blood. Rebuke them. Vote for Mr. Mackey. _ app,. Victory is within your grasp, Re publicans. No wavering now! FOR. WARD! se—lf you want your accounts carefully audited, and adjusted, vote fur James 11. Davie. Ate' The business of the country is tend-. ing surprisingly to wholesale magnitude.; and processes. This is forcibly illustraked by the fact that the Fairbank Scale Cbm pony built, last year, 218 iron-frame R. IL track scales, some of them with platforms nine reds long! IT is the Most momentous question woman is ever called upon to decide, whether the faults of the man she loves will drag her down, or whether she is • competent to be his earthly redeemer.
