MONEY WANTED.
Court is approaching and we are com
pelled to remind those in arrears for sub
scriptions, advertising and job work, that
we need money badly and we earnestly
hope that they will not permit Court to
pass by without paying up. There is not
a man in the county who owes us, but can
bring us the money or send it in with
soma one coming to Court. Times are just
as hard with us as with embody else, and
we must have money to pay for labor and
materials. It don't make any difference
how short we are, our hands expect to be
paid promptly, and if we fail they growl
until we wish that every one indebted to
us could hear what ill-nature their de
linquency creates. Pay up ! Your bills
are small and can be readily met. The
aggregated small bills enable us to pay our
forge and constantly maturing ones. We
don't want to owe anybody, and if our de
linquents will pay up we will soon wipe
out all our indebtedness and go on our
way rejoicing. Don't fail to pay up and
give us a chance to rejoice. tr.
Siiir If you want a man of dignity and
honesty for Lieutenant Governor, vote fur
Olmsted.
Bm. The straight Democrats are down
on Back Pay, and they don't swallow the
Back Pay Fusion ticket.
Dom. Our friend Mateer is not running,
as far as we can hear. Everybody is voting
for Robinson and Guyer.
20,.. When making up your ticket don't
forget the Supreme Judge. name is
on a separate slip. Vote for Pax on.
gm. Gen. Allen is the farmers' candi
date. They are satisfied with his admin
istration. Everybody will vote for Allen
ma. Every body likes our candidate for
Sheriff but Tom Henderson. He won't
rote for:Crum but almost everybody else
will.
Is. Gen. Winter is a plain, practical
man who has won fame upon the field of
battle and be merits well at your hands.—
Vote for `Mister.
se)._ Gen. Allen has filled the office of
Auditor General for three years, and there
is not a word of complaint against him.—
Vote for Allen.
if!!),. H. H. Swope is a capital account
ant. He will see that no improper allow
ances are made. Farmers, see that he is
elected. Vote for Swope.
ims. The Democratic party has a ring
after the manner of the Peoples' League,
and the genuine Democrats mean to "bust"
it by Toting against Fusion.
Stenger "went for" Speer, and DOW
Speer don't know whether to "go for"
Stenger or not. (?) The straight Demo
crats, however, are "going for" Specr's
scalp.
.. When we were licked at Bull Run,
Tom Henderson laughed and said "We
can always lick you !" Soldiers is this so ?
Patriots, give the lie to this on the ad
proximo. Vote for Crum.
Ds. Col. McGowan is a live man who
looks ahead. He does not belong to the
political fossils of the dead past. He will
make a record upon which he will not be
afraid to face the future. Vote for Mc-
Gowan.
The Ring men choked off the
straight Democrats at the late Democratic
Convention, but they can't do it at the
polls. They will show Speer that he does
not `•cam the Democratic party in his
pocket!' They will send the Ring to the
wall—howling !
/ft. There are not a half-dozen of Re
publicans, of any standing, outside of'
Huntingdon, that are supporting the Fu
sion ticket. They can't be forced into
Speer's branch of the Democratic party to
enable him to achieve a victory over the
straight Democrats. Not by a jug full!
BM_ General Beath lost a ler in the ser-
vice of his country, while his opponent
refused a General's Commission and said
the post of honor was the private station
because the war was not waged as lie de.
sired it. The one acted the part of a pa
triot; the other that of a traitor. Vote for
•
Beath.
s Dr. McNite attended the Demo
cratic meeting at Mt. Union last week,
and got so full of bug juice that when
called out to visit a suffering woman he
was in a worse condition than his patient.
This fellow bids utter defiance to public
sentiment. How can any sober Democrat
vote for him ? Vote for Guyer and Rob-
REPUBLICANS, ARE YOU READY?
On next Tuesday, the 3d day of Novem
ber, the fate of the ticket, at tho mast
head of our paper, is to be decided ! Re
publicans, are you ready to achieve a vic
tory ? The responsibility now rests with
you. You have just one week more to
get ready. have you seen your neighbor
and ascertained how he is going to vote?
If not, do not delay a day nor an hour.
Our opponents arc at work. They are not
leaving a stone unturned. They are flood
ing the country with all manner of false
statements intended to injure our candi
dates. It is your business to correct these
and show up the shortcomings of those
whom they desire to palm off on our voters.
Supply every voter that you can rely upon
with tickets, and see that he votes under
standingly.
EDITOR
Remember that there is too much in
volved in this contest to lase things take
their own course. First and foremost we
have a meniber of Congress to elect. Ile
will have a voice in supporting a tariff that
will protect our home industries and enable
them to give employment to the thousands
who live by the sweat of their brows. No
Democrat can be trusted to do this. The
record of tha Democratic party is a Record
of Free Trade. The Pennsylvania work
ingman whe votes for Free Trade votes
to take bread out of the mouths of his
children. Let every laborer be impressed
with the enormity of voting for Free Trade
or its odvocates.
Remember, that a State Senator and
two members of the General Assembly are
to be elected. Upon them will devolve
the important duty of assisting in the elec
tion of a United States Senator. You are
aware that a personal fight is made against
these men because they are favorable to
the re election of Hon. John Scott to that
position. Some years ago a League was
formed to run the politics of Huntingdon
county. This League was very effective
and for a time controlled the party with a
strong hand. It was a political success.
Not content with this it undertook to sub
vert our Courts of justice to its base pur
poses. Here it was met by Hon. John
Scott in his professional capacity, and true
to his clients, he exposed its enormity.
And from this time forth the League
made war upon him and has followed
him with unrelenting fury. There has not
been a single act of omission or com
mission in the county, since that that the
League has not laid at his door. Every
thing that has been done politically, pro
or con, has been charged upon him when
perhaps he knew as little of the matter as
the babe unborn. To encompass the de
feat of these men a Fusion has been enter
ed into with the League portion of the
Democratic party. The honorable Demo
crats do not take to it kindly. They dispise
the role which they are asked to play, and
it is your duty to see that they vote un
derstandingly. The Republican candidates
are men of unblemished character and
arc worthy of your best efforts.
Our county ticket is one of the best, if
not the best, ever presented to the voters
of the county. There is not a word of
objection to be uttered against it. It is
composed of busine4s men who represent
fully the farming interest and know the
value of taxes. The tax-payers can rely
upon them.
If each and every one of you will do his
duty this ticket will be elected without an
exception. Go to work and do not cease
until the polls close on the 3d of Novem
ber. Work ! Work !
Ira' The editor of the Globe is out in a
six column address, which he dates Oct.
24, 1874, at Huntingdon, and heads
"Personal to my Friends." It is a rehash
of the Cassville business and urging the
elect to oppose Gen. Beath. We are sur
prised that it is not at least two columns
longer than it is and that it does not con
tain a few more misstatements of fact.—
We were compelled to wade through it to
see what so much matter could contain and
we are confident that there are not a
half-dozen of unperverted facts in it. Ev
idently the writer is insane upon the
subject. 'With the evidence in our poses
sion we can prove every important state
ment, in the whole tirade, to be misstated
or a down-right lie.
Se' Dr. McNite has been laying in a
supply of election whiskey. On Saturday
or Sunday night, of last week, some bib
lions chaps entered the station, at Shir
leysburg, and tapped the Doctor's keg,
and carried off four gallons of the ten, and
now he is as mad as a hornet and swears
he will make the East Broad Top Rail
road Company pay for it. Ain't it too
bad to punish the Doctor in this way ?
We move that his constituents present him
with a barrel, but suggest that they in
sist upon his remaining at home until he
uses it up, lest he might give us another
Newport exhibition. Vote for sober men.
Vote for Guyer and Robinson.
ter The Columb lan' s reasons why Sur
veyor General Beath should not be enti
tled to the rank which his office confers,
may be satisfactory to the editor of that
paper, but it is extremely doubtful wheth•
er they will convince anybody else. If it
will please the Colombian and secure its
support we will wave all courtesies of the
kind and call him simply Mr. Beath.—
Now, Dieffenbaugh, don't be captious.
Vote for Mr. Beath.
Dom' Republican reader, if you have a
Democratic neighbor show him this Jouit-
NAL and call his attention to the letter of
"An Old Democrat." Show him that
voting Fusion means to give the Woods
men the control of the county funds—and
a lease of life to Speer's ring.
ICJ- The Speer ring is very anxious
about the Fusion ticket. They are buz
zing more than a bee in a tar barrel, but
it's no go. The true straightout Demo
crats mean not only to scotch but to kill
the snake while they have an opportunity.
They can do this by voting against Fu
sion. Democrats, strike home !
gdr We would like to take up that ad
dress "Personal N My Friends," and go
through it. We think we could improve
upon "Brazen Effrontery" even. But it
is not worth the powder. It is simply a
tissue of lies from beginning to end.
HUSTON E. CRUM
It is only necessary for us to suggest, in
reply to the article which appeared in a
recent issue of the Globe, and afterwards
in the AEnitor, about the "heavy taxes
paid by Thus. K. Henderson, and about
that "heavy gold watch chain" alleged to
be worn by 11. E. Crum, that these false
hoods were no doubt coined by Guss after
he had been for several days seriously in
disposed and while he was mentally, as
well as physically, very weak ! The article
bears on its face the fact that it must have
originated from a very weak brain, and
then the fact that it is utterly false—a lie
without any semblance of truth—gives us
another strong proof of its having been
the creation of Guss' diseased fancy, be
cause the fact is now becoming familiar jo
nearly every one that when it is desired
to stigmatize a man fur his proverbial
falsehood the usual way of doing it is to
say, "you lie like Cuss !"
We deem it necessary to say here that
119 r. Crum's father has been a heavy tax
payer for the last thirty years in this
county, and has not only paid his taxes
promptly, but, during the war, when taxes
were unusually oppressive, he not only
cheerfully gave his money, but freely gave
his two sons to the service of his country
—while Thomas K. Henderson, who now
has the impudence to ask loyal men to
vote for him, was skulking at home, re
joicing over rebel victories, making money
on his $lO,OOO farm out of the necessities
of our imperiled country, and seeking, in
his own township, to prevent the arrest of
deserters! Such is the record of the man
that the Globe and Monitor would have
you put into office.
It appears that his father is rich, and
Thomas K. Henderson himself owns a fine
limestone arm in Warriorsmark township
worth same $lO,OOO, and yet he is selfish
and mean enough to try, by falsehood, and
by parading before the public the "heavy
taxes he has paid"—no doubt been com
pelled to pay—to induce sensible and in
telligent people to cast aside a worthy
young man and brave soldier, like Huston .
E. Crum—simply because he is poor—and
elect a man like himself to office.
We cre authorized to say that Mr.
Cruni does not "sport a heavy gold watch
chain", as alleged in the Globe, and that
he never owned one in his life—and we
know that he has promptly paid every
cent of taxes ever assessed against him,
without waiting to he compelled to do so
by the officers of the law. lie has freely
given his services to his government as
well as his money; and while he does not
claim to be rich, not being able to boast
of his limestone farm worth $lO,OOO, no
man living has ever yet questioned that
he is honest and capable, or that be will
make an excellent Sheriff, if elected, and
no man who casts his vote for him, on the
third day of November next, will ever
have cause to regret it.
gel, Dr. McNite and Peter Burket
were electioneering in the Lower End, one
day last week, and they run off to Con
cord, in rranklin county. McNite was
particularly drunk. He put up at a hotel
in that place, but Franklin being a Local
Option county, there was nothing to
be had to drink. McNite regretted this
very touch. He said : "I'm d--d glad
I have not got farther into a Local Op
tion county. I never feel at home at a
Local Option hotel." The landlord, who
appears to be a gentleman, said : "You
can leave my house, and if you do not be
have yourself I will put you out !" It was
9 o'clock at night and McNite thought he
bad better dry up. We give this state
ment on the authority of several of the
best men in the county. Republicans
and Democrats, will you send this man to
the Legislature? We hope for the honor
of Huntingdon county you will not.
Vote for Guyer and Robinson.
tm. The gentleman 'resident of Barree,
who alleges, to his neighbors, th-t lie was
in our office and detected us in the act of
preparing a letter for "An Old Democrat"
must have very little regard for truth.
Charley, you know that's too thin. Every
expedient is resorted to to break the force
of the letters of "An Old Democrat."
Truth is mighty and will prevail. Vote
against Fusion and save your manhood.
REtt, The Straight Democrats are with
out an organ and they ask us to scatter a
little grape and canister into the lines of
their enemies. This accounts for our Dem
ocratic advic3. The JOURNAL has been
so efficatious in breaking up rings that
they request us to turn our batteries upon
the Speer-its. They will find that after
the 3d proximo there will be very little
left of that ring.
va. Fusion is a combination of Repub
licans and Democrats to defeat lion. John
Scott. This is the principal issue. A few
mon hate Mr. Scott. They are trying to
use Republicans and Democrats who have
no spite to gratify to accomplish their pur
poses. Will you do it, if not vote for Mc-
Gowan, Guyer and Robinson.
se_ If you want to protect American
labor and save the laboring classes from
starvation by the introduction of the ruin
ous doctrine of Free Trade, vote for Wis
ter, McGowan, Guyer and Robinson. The
former will have a direct vote and the
latter will have a vote for United States
Senator fbr a term of six years.
Its_ Henderson is tricky but he c..n
not resort to a trick that will explain
away his copperheadism during the rebel
lion. Ah ! you used to laugh when our
fellows wore licked down in Dixy, and say
"we can always whip you," but now it
will be our time to laugh. Vote for Crum.
ok. The Leaguers in the Democratic
party, who have been controlling it for
years, are terribly alarmed lest their fusion
should be "busted." Democrats, if you want
to get rid of the ring strike the fusion
tic~et; its your only salvation !
its,, "An Old Democrat" sends another
solid shot into the ring lines, and you can
hear the crash of bones from one end of
the line to the other. Alas, poor Fusion !
If so soon to be done for, pray, what was
it begun for?
ter If you want your taxes increased
vote the Fusion ticket.
T. K. HENDERSON
The JOURNAL, of Oct. 21st, states that
Thos. K. Henderson, the Fusion Demo
cratic candidate for Sheriff, was not in
sympathy with the Union cause during
the war, and gives as an instance that the
said Thos. K. Henderson interfered in the
arrest of deserters.
This is true, but it is only One instance
of his many actions and language to show
clearly that his sympathies were entirely
in favor of the rebels. He was and is a
Democrat of the Buckalew stamp, and was
exceedingly obnoxious and insulting to the
Union citizens of his (Warriorsmark)
township, during the entire continuance of
the war. Union citizens he would call
"niggers," and to wounded soldiers, on
their return home, uo epithet or indignity
was too severe to wound their sensibilities.
When the rebels gained a victory he
was in his highest glee ; when the Union
army was victorious then the country was
going to destruction. The calling of vol
unteeers, the draft and the issuing of
greenbacks were all unconstitutional.
Some time after the lamented Lincoln was
assassinated, he remarked that "it would
be a blessing to the country if more wooley
heads were killed." At another time he
remarked that if he thought he had one
single drop of Republiean blood in his veins
he would use his knife to let it out! Be
would oppose every effort of the gov
ernment to bring our terrible conflict to a
speedy close ; and, by all his actions, be
trayed his full and hearty sympath for,
and co-operation with his Southern breth
ren.
I am also informed that lie has promised
to each of four Republicans to rent them
his farm, in case of his election, provided
they vote for him. He has also promised
a Republican to help elect him to the
office of Constable of Warriorsmark town
ship, and give him $150.00 worth of busi
ness, provided the said Republican will
vote fur him, and use his influence to se
cure Republican votes; and, I presume,
provided further, in case the said Thos. K.
should happen to be elected Sheriff. (?)
He has also made similar propositions to
other parties, viz : that he would endeavor
to have them elected Constable, &c.
When there is a prospect of trouble in
the Republican ranks, he is the first to
widen the breach, and if it were in his
power lie would annihilate the party to
day, and yet, in the face of all this, he has
tho. "brazen effrontery" to solicit Repub
lican votes !
Fellow-Union voters, of Huntingdon
county, whether Democrats or Republicans,
this is part of the record of the one nomi
nee for Sheriff, who asks your votes.
What do you think of the man who prom
ises and does not intend to fulfill ? Will
•you sell your votes so cheap ? Will you
vote for the man who has gone to such
extremes to destroy the principles you
cherish and the country you love, or will
you vote for Mr. Crum, the man who risk
ed his life, his all, to defend your firesides
and perpetuate your cherished principles
of free government ?
WARRIORSMARK
Seir Our friend, Dad, in his address,
got off the best political document of the
campaign, if his premises had been cor
rect, but be will remember that it was
the Court House Convention of 1871 that
established the precedent for closed doors
and policemen. That Convention was claim
ed by both wings. We remember James
Bricker, esq., endeavoring to exclude even
the Chairman of the County Committee
from the hall in which the Convention
was in session on that occasion. Certainly,
Dad, you remember this ? No Convention
in the world could transact business with
such a mob about it as there was on the
occasion to which we allude. Admit this
truth and your logic goes to the wall.
pm. Since Prof. A. W. Evans, aban
doned the principleship of the college on
Broad Top, where he spent that long life,
in teaching, on one occasion he got straight
ened up in and old school house to make a
political speech, and said, "feller citizens,
if I should say anything in favor of the
Democratic party I hope you will excuse
me." Now he asks them to elect him to
office.
sat- It is true, we admit, that our friend
Crum does not pay as much taxes as Hen
derson. No doubt if he had a limestone
farm in Warriosmark township, lie would
pay the taxes willingly, and the Sheriffal
ity might go to grass—as it is it will go to
Cruni. If Henderson can take a Crum of
comfort out of this he is at perfect liberty
to do so.
le , We had the pleasure of seeing P.
P. Dewees, esq.. D. R. P. Neely, esq.,
Harry Cook, esq., Hon. Wm. B. Leas,
John Kerr, osq., P. H. Bence, esq., Sam
uel L. Glassgow, esq., B. F. Ripple, esq.,
Kenzie A. Greene, esq., Dr. Wm. M.
Rhea, and others whose names we cannot
recall, at the Threo Springs meeting.
am, Corbin and Isett are running for
two of the most important county offices.
If they are defeated the men who have
run Porter and Union township and the
Poor House, for several "years, will control
the county offices. Yon can't afford to
permit thous to be defeated. Vote for
Corbin and Isett.
fia — Dr. McNite's faiends boast that he
took the wind out of our sails by admit
ting that he was drunk at Newport. If
the people want to elect a drunkard to
represent them in the Legislature all well
and good, but we do not think it anything
to boast of.
ts.. It is not often that a writer so ef
fectually makes an ass of himself as "Jason"
does in the last issue of the Globe. He
may have known a thing or two once about
libel laws and pardons, but if he did, the
New Constitution has put him all out of
sorts.
Mr. Speer has ruled the Democratic
party with a rod of iron by his League or
ring. The straight Democrats mean to
smash the concern now by voting against
fusion. That is the way to do it !
yba. The only way to break up the Speer
ring is to vote against Fusion. This must
be plain to any Democrat. Go to work
and strike until the fire flios.
THE "MONITOR" ON GUYER,
The itenitor seem to be very mueli
worried because the Republican County
Convention presented two good men for
the people to vote for for Assembly, lint
more especially pours out the vials its
wrath upon the head of Rev. Geo. Guyer.
After discharging its venom, it suddenly
tacks about, and "in the name of dereney,
and religion calls upon Mr. Guyer to stay
at home, and preach the gospel." Per
haps the editors have recently discovered
that they are not on the true road to the
New Jerusalem and feel the need of some
"minister" to show them the way. If
they are in need of such religious advisers
we can refer them to several good "preach
ers, of more than ordinary ability," in
Huntingdon. The truth is that the young
gentlemen who edit the Monitor have gone
off at a tangent, when they call Mr. Guyer
a hypocrite becaure he is a candidate for
Legislature. They have forgotten that
they both voted twice for Abraham Rohrer
of Juniata county for Assembly. It is
too fresh in the minds of the people to so
soon forget that, when this county and
Muffin and Juniata formed a Legislative
district. Mr. Rohrer was twice elected,
Democrats feeling proud that he was a
preacher in good standing in his church.
And more than that, we ckly the .11on;tur
to tell us of any abuse heaped upon Mr.
Rohrer because he was an ordained minis
ter of the Tunker Church. He was a
good man when he went to Harrisburg
and came back to his people a good man,
and Mr. Guyer will go to Harrisburg a
good man, and if God spares his life will
return uncontaminated, and the people of
the Commonwealth will be none the worse
for his having been in the House of Re
presentatives.
The Globe, too, seems to chafe about
Mr. Guyer going to Harrisburg. We will
not attempt to reply to its silly talk, but
happening to think of a story once told
us, we merely mention the Globe for the
sake of relating the story, which is as fol
lows :
A farmer once went to a neighbor and
requested him to vote for his son, who was
a candidate for an office. The neighbor
hesitated a moment and then said, "your
son is a lawyer, and I once took a vow
that I would never vote for a lawyer for
any office." "Well," said the farmer,
'you can easily get round that, you can
vote for my son because lie isn't anything
of a lawyer to hurt."
So it is with Guss, though a preacher,
he has shown himself to be the vilest of
politicians, but lie no doubt lays the happy
unction to his soul that he "isn't anything
of a preacher to hurt him."
IkD" We have no purpose to discrimi
nate between the candidates on our State
ticket, says the Pittsbu7g Gazette, as we
firmly believe every man of them is supe
rior to his competitor on the Democratic
ticket. Putting principle 3 aside, and con
sidering the candidates on purely personal
grounds, we are clear in the belief that the
Republicans are especially deserving of
the support of the party, and that they
will be elected. But we see a notice of
R. B. Beath, our candidate for Secretary
of Internal Affairs, in the Philadelphia
Press, which brings out strikingly the
contrast between him and General Mc-
Candless, that we reproduce it : "Colonel
Beath the Republican nominee for Secre
tary of Internal Affairs, and the present
Surveyor General, was a gallant soldier
during the war, and has supplemented his
military services by a civil record which
challenges comparison with that of any
man who has held office in this State in
the last fifteen years. his administration
of the Surveyor Generalship has been
faithful, honest and marked by extraordi
nary intelligence. A prominent officer of
the Grand Army of the Republic, the
soldiers' orphans of the Commonwealth
have had his special care, and he was in_
strumental in checking many abuses which
had crept into the system by which they
are provided for and educated. Unlike
his opponent, General McCandless, he dirl
not break his sword in the face of the ene
my, nor believe that the private station
was the post of honor, and we believe that
his old comrades and the civilians during
the late war who admired his gallantry
will join in electing him by a majority
which will effectually cure McCandless of
his hankering after the spoils of office."
The editor of the Globe, in his
epistle to the Gussites, talks about "hatred
and revenge!" llc is a pretty fellow to
talk about anything of the kind! It was
"hatred and revenge" that put him into
the Globe office where he has been reap
ing the reward or that sort of thing ever
since.
ge o , Gen. Wister was a . gallant soldier.
His opponent, W. S. Stenger, said in his
Washington House speech, in Chambers
burgh, during the war, not another man,
not another dollar for this infernal war.
If this be treason make the best of it."
Patriots fur which will you Vote ?
Siff" Guss has dished up the Cassville
scandal afresh for his immediate friends.
Perhaps they will relish it but everybody
else is sick and tired of it. There was a
time when it might have been read but
that time has gone by. Vote fbr Beath.
g i s„ In 1569 the Republicans were
obliged to strike down the ring in their
party; in 1874, Democrats, you are called
upon to do the same thing ie. your party.
The ring must be "busted." The way to
do it is to Tote against Fusion.
Republicans and straight Demo
crats, if you want ti keep your taxes out
of the hands of the Speer and Gus 3 rings
you must vote for Win. E. Corbin, for
Commissioner, and Jacob 11. Isett, for
Poor Director.
l i gi,„The new office of Secretary of In
ternal Affairs includes the duties of the
Surveyor General. The officer ought to
understand the .duties pertaining to the
latter office. Gen. Beath does. Vote for
Beath.
--.1110- -
The fellow who would take the ad
vantage of friendship to iwpose the nio4
cowardly lies after the wanner or A. L.
Cuss must be "loony." There is no other
way of accounting for it.
GEN. LANGHORNE WISTER.
The gentleman whose name heads
article is the Republican nominee for Coa -
;cress, for our district. and a youn:4 man
of undoubted ability. Daring the late war
for the supremacy of the I:overnment, he
was on the side of right battling for his
country's Flag. His record :is a soldier is
one that might he envic , l by any American.
As a citizen he is free from aii ostentation,
honest and frank all his dealings. a man
to he respected and trusted, and just such
a person as would be able to secure the re
spect and esteem of his colleagues in Con
gress. He is a farmer, his interests are
identical with the tillers of the Anil of Sny•
der, and if elected, as we have no doubt he
will be, he will be able to labor for the
best interests of that respectable class of
our citizens. Politically he has ever been
a true Republican, laboring for the best
interests of the nation, sustaining by his
voice and vote the same interests for which
he risked his life while battling tinder the
glorious stars and stripes. Voters of little
Snyder, Gen. Wistcr is in every respect
worthy of your votes, and we hare reason
to believe that your good eanmon sense
and patriotism will commend him favorably
to you. Let little Snyder give him at
least 500 majority.—Sar/er Ourniy Tri

Star General Beath nit only did his full
duty as a gallant soldier during the whole
of the late war, in which he lost a leg, but
since his return to civil life he has been
especially active in endeavors to promote
the welfare of his former comrade. and the
orphans which many of them left. He
has been particularly active in having pin.
sions increased, and in having the charges
of immoral conduct which were laid at the
door of the principal of one of the soldiers'
orphan schools investigated. The school
and the revenues it afforded were taken
from the unfaithful man, and now Beath
is fortunate in having his opposition. As
a contrast to this fair record Colonel Mc-
Candless, after his unpatriotic letter in
1864, is not known to have interested him
self for the good of his former comrades in
any way. In addition to the advantage
Beath has over his competitor as a soldier,
he has had experience as to many of the
duties which will devolve upon the secre
tary of internal affairs, whilst 31eCandleAs
has none.— William.ipwl Ga.-.-dte awl Bul

nis,„ The defeat of Speer has demorali
zed the Guss Republican party in Hun
tingdon county. It is singular that a
party claiming to be Republican, in a Re
publican county, expected to be benefitted
by the nomination of a particular Demo
cratic Congretsman, and quite suggestive
of the way that party has been kept to
gether heretofore.—Blair County Radical.
Thek. We understand that Thomas K.
Henderson, mi., is telling the people
throughout the county that he was only
defeated by about *.3!)0 votes three years
ago, and that he will readily come out all
right now. It will be remembered that
Sheriff Houck had about 750 majority
There is a small lie out somewhere'
Sea — Dr. McNite boasts that he did wear
a pin with the image of a copperhead
stamped upon it during the war, and sap
that if he had not lost it he would
continue to wear it. Soldicis, what do you
think of this loyal copperhead ? ('an you
vote for him ? No ; vote for Guyer and
Robinson.
21), Scores of Republicans, who were
willing to assist Messrs. Woods and Gulls
as long as they tried to settle their griev
ances, if they had any, in the Republican
party, arc turning in against FuJion. They
see that two Rings have united, and they
stick to the old flag.
:ear Dr. McNite on all occasions. speaks
disrespectfully of the Methodist Episcopal
Church which he abhors and detests
We hope our Methodist friends will re
member this when the; come to cast their
ballots. Vote for Robinson, and Guyer !

Huntingdon, if you want fair and square
men in the Legislature, men who are sober
and honest and who do not set public sen
timent at defiance, vote for George Guyer
and Henry C. Robinson.
