AMONG the notable useful working
members of the late legislature none de
serves better than the veteran editor of
the Delaware County Republican, Y. S.
Walter, esq. As faithful, wise and care
ful in the House as be has always been in
the editorial chair, his constituents will
hardly fail to secure his services again,
especially after the experience of profes•
sional politicians in the Bullard case.
Ma. WALLACE'S platform declares in
favor of "the dethronement of tkose in
power." A very earnest and determined 1
effort was made by nearly one-half of the
members of the Pittsburgh convention to
oust Mr. Wallace from his high position
of dictatorship, but they were powerless
against his self-assumed authority. It is
he who should first be dethroned, and if
there are none in his own party who can
do so, the Republicans must do the work
for them.
DvsocaATlc despatches from Washing
ton City are authority for the statement
that the Platform adopted by the Pitts.
burgh convention was prepared by Senator
Wallace in Washington and read to sever
al gentlemen there before he left for Pitts
burgh. Mr. Wallace has established a
reputation for Away& having the docu
ments ready in time. He is almost as
prompt now as when he furnished the nat
uralisation papers not many years ago. It
was not necessary, however, that the Plat
form should bear any special evidences of
old age, and it was not, therefore, colored
with coffee, whatever other marks of an
tiquity it may have about it. Any papers
requiring the tinge of "the sear and yellow
leaf" will be duly prepared and produced
when needed to manufacture a majority
for Mr. Wallace's ring ticket.
EDITORIAL ASSISTANCE.
The approaching campaign promises to
be one of unusual excitement, and both
parties will fight it with a vigor rarely
witnessed in political contests. As our
business will preveat us from giving that
attention to the campaign which its im
portance demands, we have secured the
services of MILTON S. LYTLE, lESQ , to
assist us in the editorial management of
the JOURNAL. Mr. LYTLE needs no in
troduction to the public. He has been so
long engaged in the fields of literature and
politics as to be well and favorably known.
To the readers of the JOURNAL he is es
pecially familiar, having been a frequent
contributor to its columns during the last
ten years. As a Republican he is firm and
unwavering, his liervices to the party having
been such as to secure the highest appre
ciation. In the great political battle just
commenced, we expect, with his assistance,
to place the JOURNAL in the front rank.
GENERAL HOYT.
Henry Martin Hoyt, the Republican
candidate for Governor, is descended from
a family belonging to the early settlers of
the Wyoming Valley. He was born in
1830, graduated at Williams College in
1849; in 1850 he opened a select school
at Tonawanda, which he conducted for a
year, when he was elected Professor of
Mathematics in Wyoming Seminary, which
position he filled for two years. Subse
quently he studied law in the office of the
late Chief Justice George W. Woodward,
at Wilkesbarre, and after a time passed in
the South, entered the office of the Hon.
Warren J. Woodward, now on the Su
preme Court bench, with whom he remain
ed until Mr. Woodward was called to the
Bench in 1856. In the Fremont cam
paign of that year Mr. Hoyt took an ac
tive part, and then opened a law office in
Wilkesbarre. He soon secured a large
and lucrative practice, which was resumed
after the war. In the summer of 1861, he
was active in raising the Fifty-second Reg
iment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, and in
consideration of his services was commis
sioned Lieutenant-Colonel by Governor
Curtin. His regiment participated in the
Peninsula campaign of 1862, and after
wards was sent to the Department of the
South. In the summer of 1863 Lieuten
ant Colonel Hoyt was taken prisoner in an
attack upon Fort Johnson, Charlestown
harbor, and upon being exchanged, rejoin
ed his regiment and remained with it un
til near the close of the war. He was
promoted to Colonel on January 9, 1864,
and was mustered out of the service on
November 5, 1864, on the expiration of
his term, several months before the regi
ment itself was mustered out. On March
18, 1865, he was breveted Brigadier Gen
eral. During the year 1867 under an ap
pointment from the late Governor Geary,
he discharged the duties of Additional Law
Judge of the Eleventh District, but at the
close of that year was superseded by a
Democrat, who had been elected by the
people. In 1875 and 1876 Colonel Hoyt
was Chairman bf the Republican State
Committee. He was also one of the Dele
gates at Large from this State to the Na
tional Convention of 1876, at Cincinnati.
General Hoyt is a lawyer of high standing
and a man of very liberal culture, of fine
presence and attractive address.
Editor,
SECRETARY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS.
The Democrats have placed J. Simpson
Africa upon their ticket as their candidate
for Secretary of Internal Affairs. They
have not done this for the purpose of con
ferring any special honor upon Hunting
don county, as has been intimated by some
who would like to make the impression
here that Mr. Africa's candidacy has no
political aspect, but because he has been a
thorough, consistent and life long Demoerat.
Had he been anything else he would not
have been nominated by the Pittsburgh
Convention. He will be supported by
Democrats on account of his fealty to par
ty, while in his efforts to get Republicans
to vote for him be will keep politics
steadily out of view. He will endeavor
to prevail upon them to do what Demo
crats never do, to ignore their party and
their principles. If a citizen of Hunting
don county had been placed upon the Re
publican State ticket, would Democrats de
sert their own candidate to vote for him ?
No, they would rather oppose him the
more bitterly and organize the more strong
ly to defeat him. The application of the
same rule by Republicans at this time is
certainly a duty. Our experience within
recent years in giving "complimentary
votes" has been such as to make a repeti•
tion of it very undesirable. We have been
taught that it is unsafe to vote for Demo
crats if we do not want them elected. To
give Mr. Africa a majority in Huntingdon
county, would endanger the success of our
entire local ticket. He is the standard
bearer about whom the Democrats will
rally. Not one of them will desert him or
any other candidate whose name may be
upon their banner. He is to carry them
to victory, if possible, not only to victory
for himself, but for every one who may be
associated with him upon the ticket. The
ranks of the Democracy will be unbroken
during the campaign, but they hope that
Africa will be able to divide the Republi
can column, and such a division once made,
they will endeavor to put us to utter rout
and discomfiture. Republicans should hold
no intercourse with the enemy. Africa is
the leader who is looked to for a successful
campaign against us.
AN ATTEMPT TO DECEIVE FARMERS.
By a wise and economical management
of the financial affairs of this Common
wealth, a law was enacted a few years ago
by a Republican Legislature and approved
by a Republican Governor, relieving all
real estate from taxation for State purposes.
Notwithstanding this important measure to
the direct advantage of land owners, an
appeal has been made to farmers to join
the National or Greenback party upon the
ground that their interests have not been
sufficiently taken care of by the Republi
cans. The Greenbackers make a great
noise about high taxation, and would like
it to be believed that they will effect a
change in this respect. So they will, as
indicated by their Philadelphia platform,
but the reverse of the one promised by
their street-corner orators. Upon thi s
subject they declare :
"That we demand equal and just taxa
tion of all property whatsoever, except that
used by the federal government and held
or used for government purposes."
Equal taxation of all property means
that farms, lots, houses, and other real
estate shall bear a share of the public bur
den. It would release personal property,
money at interest, and the
. corporations
from the payment of a large portion of the
State revenues and re-impose them upon
farmers. This new party, while claiming
to be the opponent of what it denounces
as "corporate monopolies," demands just
what those bodies desire, and would rob
the State of one of the great benefits it
derives from them, the means of paying
the expenses of government. That plank
in the Greenback platform must have been
prepared by one of the great railroad
kings and imposed upon the Convention.
It is evident that the corporations have
their emmissaries at work within the party
and that they are controlling it. Farmers,
are you willing that the State taxes shall
be taken off of those who now pay them
and placed again upon yourselves? This
is the change the Nationalists of Pennsyl
vania declare in favor of. Don't allow
them to deceive you with any ether prom
CORRUPTION.
When it became known in Huntingdon
county under what direction and auspices
the Democratic campaign is to be con•
ducted, it was at once recognized as a fact
that the principal influence to be used is
money. The belief that the canvass is to
be but an effort to purchase victory is en
tertained not by a few, but by the public
generally, not by Republicans alone, but
by Democrats. That the attempt is to
be made to wrest this county from the
Republicans by corrupt means is common
talk upon the streets, and among all classes
of people, and has been heard by all of our
readers. The prevalence of such a belief
is in itself demoralizing. It raises in the
minds of purchasable men the expectation
of being bought, and in honest and patriotic
citizens it excites the fear that their exer
tions in behalf of purity in politics and of
a proper administration of public affairs
are to be thwarted and defeated by means
that are dangerous to the welfare of the
country, and utterly destructive of all
popular government. This fear, although
occasion should never be given to arouse
it, may after all be our salvation. Can it
be possible that the people will permit the
consummation of a scheme of which they
are so fully forewarned ? Will they per
mit Huntingdon county to be made a mar
ket place in which votes are to be bought
and sold, and the result of an important
election determined by the number of
voters who are willing to sell their suffrages
This is not the cry of alarm raised at the
eleventh hour before the election, but a
warning, given at the very outset of the
campaign. Of course the full purchasing
power of the Democratic managers will not
be developed until it can be done with
greater safety and more certainty as to re
sults than at present. The demands that
will be made upon them by Democrats
will have to be responded to. The mem
bers of that party have bad their appetites
sharpened by the prospects of spoils. They
want office and money. The former can
not be obtained until after the election,
and are even then uncertain, and are too
few in number to accommodate the large
mass of expectants. Money can be dis.
tributed much sooner and can be made to
reach further. It will be looked for by
men whose ambition does not lead to the
desire for office, and must be given them
to prevent dissatisfaction. The Democrats
aro themselves demoralized by the expeota_
tions that have been held out to them.—
We may hope it will require all the money
they can raise to satisfy the cravings
within their own party, and that none will
be left to be used in new corruptions.
CHAIRMAN QUAY.
Although the appointment of a Chair
man of the Republican State Central Com
mittee has not yet:been announced, it is
understood that Hon. M. S. Quay, of Phil
adelphia, has been or will be selected for
the position. We commend the wisdom
that has led to this result. That gentle.
man possesses in an eminent degree the
qualities essential to an efficient and suc
cessful Chairman. His knowledge of the
politics of the State and of the leaders in
all parties, and his ability to organize and
conduct a campaign are unsurpassed and,
perhaps, unequaled by those of any other
of our public men. His appointment will
strike terror into the ranks of the Democ
racy. They know his energy and the
thoroughness with which he does eve ry
thing he undertakes, and they have no
man that can cope with him or that can
possibly prevent him from carrying the
Republicans and their ticket to victory.
THE CONSPIRACY.
The Democratic Senator from Pennsyl
vania is opposed "to any attack upon the
President's title," but this will have very
little effect in staying the revolutionary
movement in the House. Potter's com
mittee is proceeding to investigate the
right of Mr. Hayes to his office as if Wal
lace had been silent upon the subject
The Representatives of the Democracy are
not likely to pay much attention to Sena
torial opinion or dictation. They are
working to unseat the President and usurp
his office, while Mr. Wallace's object is to
carry the election in Pennsylvania. The
one regard the Presidency of the greater
importance, the other the Governorship.
Had Mr. Randall's ring controlled the
Pittsburgh convention instead of Mr. `'Pal
ace's, the platform would have been in
greater harmony with the plans of the
conspirators in Congress.
JUDGE STERRETT.
Hon. James P. Sterrett, the Republican
candidate for Supreme Judge, has never
aspired to or filled any other than a judi.
cial position. Admitted to the bar in
1848, he commenced the practice of the
liw in the following year at Pittsburgh.
In January, 1862, he was appointed Presi
dent Judge of the Court of Common Pleas
of Allegheny county, and in the fall of the
same year was elected to the position for a
full term of ten years. In 1872, he was
elected without opposition. On the 26th
of February, 1877, he was appointed by
the Governor to the Associate Judgeship
of the Supreme Court, to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Hon. Henry W.
Williams, and served th• balance of the
term. He has never figured as a politician
and will not do so to secure his election.
DEMOCRATS AND TARIFF.
The Democratic platform, which con
sists almost entirely of abuse of the Re
publican party, has nothing to say is re
gard to the tariff but to attack the Repub
lican record on that subject. It does not
declare in favor of a tariff nor against Mr.
Wood's bill, which would have been passed
before this had there not been enough Re
publicans in Congress to prevent it. They
have had the power to delay the bill, but
not to defeat it, and the Democrats are
keeping it suspended over the country,
ready to descend and destroy our business
interests whenever the Republicans are
unprepared to break its fall The Demo
cratic policy upon the tariff question must
be learned from the course of that party
in the House of Representatives at Wash
ington, where they have a majority, and
not from the ambiguous declarations of
their State' Convention.
MR. DILL, the man whom the Pennsyl
vania Democrats have nominated fur Gov.
ernor in spite of Samuel J. Tilden and
Samuel J. Randal!, refreshed the Conven
tion which nominated him with a speech,
in which he made the remark that the
Republican party, when it came into power
twenty years ago, "found this country with
wealth generally diffused, with few mil
lionaires, and no squallid poverty. As the
result of its policy we now see at one end
of society the nabob, at the other the
tramp." Mr. Dill did not specify which
end represented him, but that was not
necessary. What he sighs for is the old
times restored. With a few millionaires,
but several millions of slaves ; with no
nabob or tramp, but society with a slave
holder at one end and a slave at the other,
and a Northern Democratic party dancing
about between the two, grateful and hap
py with an occasional crumb from the
nabob's table--.N. Y. Tribune.
THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
The harmonious (?) Democracy, led by
Senator Wallace, the gentleman of coffee
pot fame, assembled in Pittsburgh, last
week, and after a two days' battle, during
which many a chieftain's scalp lock was
lifted, agreed upon and passed the follow
ing platform :
The Democracy of Pennsylvania unanimous
ly declare :
That the Republican party, its measures
and its men, are responsible for the financial
distress and that misery of want that now
exists ; it has had control of the legislation of
the country, and has enacted and perpetuated
a policy that has enriched the few and impov
erished the many ; its system and finance has
been one of favor to moneyed monopoly, of
unequal taxation, of exemption of classes, of
high rates of interest, and of remorseless con
tractions which has destroyed every enterprise
that gave employment to labor; its present
hold upon the federal power was secured by
fraud, perjury and forgery; its laws are unjust
and its practices immoral—they distress the
people and destroy their substance. The
only remedy for these evils in an entire ehange
of policy and the dethronement of those in
power. And we resolve that further contrac
tion of the volume of the United States legal
tender notes is unwise and unnecessary. They
should be received for custom duties and re
issued as fast as received. Gal, silver and
United States legal-tender notes at par there
with are just bases for paper circulation. The
close connection of the federal government
with the business interests of the people
through national banks tends to monopoly
and centralization; but in changing the system
uniformity of notes, security of the noteholder
and protection of the capital invested should
be provided for. Treasury notes, issued in
exchange for bonds hearing a low rate of
interest, is the best form in which the credit
of the government can be given to paper cur
rency. Labor and capital have equal demands
upon and equal responsibilities to law. Com
merce and manufactures should be encouraged,
so that steady employment and fair wages
may be yielded to labor, whilst safety of
investment and moderate returns for its use
belong to capital. Violence or breaking of
order in support of the real or supposed rights
of either should be promptly suppressed by
the strong arm of the law.
The Republican party, by its legislation in
1872,
which reduced the tariff upon oituminous
coal from $1.25 to 75 cents per ton, and upon
iron, steel, wools, metals, paper, glass, leather
and all manufactures of each of them ten per
cent., struck a fatal blow at the industries
and labor of Pennsylvania.
The public lands are the common property
of the people, and they should not be sold to
speculators nor granted to railroads or other
corporations, but should be reserved as home
steads for actual settlers.
Our public debt should be held at borne,
and the bonds representing it ought to be of
small denominations, in which the savings of
the masses may be safely invested.
Thorough investigation into the electoral
frauds of 1877 should be made ; fraud should
be exposed, truth vindicated and criminals
punished; but we oppose any attack upon the
Presidential title as dangerous to our institu
tions and fruitless in its results.
The Republican party, controlling the legis
lation of the State, has refused to execute
many of the reforms of the new Constitution ;
among other things it has neglected and re
fused to compel the acceptance of all of its
provisions by the corporations of the State ;
to prevent undue and unreasonable discrimi
nation in charges for the transportation of
freight and passengers, and without abatement
or drawback to any ; to give all equal mes,ns
for transporting the raw material of the State
in such manner and to such points as they
may prefer ; and to publish in good faith
monthly statements of where the money of the
people was kept.
The Republican party creates new offices
and adds enormous perquisites to others, and
fills them with favorites whose chief duty is
to manage its political machinery. Its admin
istration of the State government grows more
expensive with each year of its rule. Legis
lation has been directed by Republican lob
byists, who in turn manipulate and control
the nominations of the Republican party, and
its candidates are the creation of a junta
whose decrees are accepted as the irreversible
mandates of absolute hereditary power. We
denounce these methods, these measures and
these men as unworthy the support of an
honest and a free people, and we invite all, of
every shade of political opinion, to unite with
us in delivering the Commonwealth from their
hateful rule.

Signs.
People who still adhere to the look-at-your
tongue-and-feel-of-your-pulse doctor some
times express not a little curiosity in regard
to Dr. R. V. Pierce's original method of
distinguishing all forms of chronic disease
without personal consultation. Some even
suppose that he accomplishes this through
clairvoyance, or some other species of pro
fessional jugglery. All this is utterly false.
He claims to determine disease by the rational
methods of science only. Says Comely, in
his Biographical Encyclopedia of New York
State, speaking ofthis distinguished physician :
"He perceived that in each of the natural
sciences the investigator proceeds according
to a system of signs. The geologist in his
cabinet accurately determines and describes
the cleft of rock, which he has• never seen,
from the minute specimen on his table. And
the chemist in his laboratory notes the con
stituents of the sun with the same precision
that he analyzes a crystal of rock salt. The
analogous system developed by 1)r. Pierce in
Medical Science is worthy of his genius, and
has made his name justly celebrated." For a
full explanation of this ingenious system of
diagnosis, see th• People's Common Sense
Medical Adviser, sent post paid, to any address
on receipt ofone dollarand fifty cents. Address
the author, R. V. Pierce, M. D., Buffalo, N. Y.
The Antecedents of Disease.
Among the antecedents of disease are inert
ness in the ciaculation of the blood, an unna
turally attenuated condition of the physique,
indicating that the life current is deficient in
nutritive properties, a wan, haggard look,
inability to digest food, loss of appetite; sleep
and strength, and a sensation of unnatural
languor. All these may be regarded as among
the indicia of approaching disease, which will
eventually attack the system and overwhelm
it, if it is not built up and fortified in advance.
Invigorate then, without loss of time, making
choice of the greatest vitalizing agent extant,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, an elixir which
has given health and vigor to myriads of the
sick and debilitated, which is avouched by
physicians and analysis to b e pure as well as
effective, which is immensely popular in this
country, and extensively used abroad, and
which has been for years past one of the lead
ing medicinal staples of America.. [my.3-lm

KANSAS LAND S !
We own and control the Railway lands of TREGO CO.
KANSAS, about equally divided by the Kansas Pacific R.
It., which we are selling at an average of $3.25 per acre
on easy terms of payment. Alternate sections of Govern
ment lands can be taken as homesteads by actual settlers.
These lands lie in the Great Limeetone Belt of Central
Kansas, the best winter wheat producing district of the
United States, yielding fom 20 to 35 Bushels per acre.
The average yearly rainfall in this county is nearly 33
inches per annum, one-third greater than in the much-ex
tolled Arkansas Valley, which has a yearly rainfall of lees
than 23 inches per annum in the same longitude.
Stock-Raising and Wool-Growin , * are very remunerative.
The winters are short and mild. Stock will live all the
year on grass! Living Streams and Springs are numerous.
Pure water is found in wells from 20 to 60 feet deep. The
Healthiest Climate in the World I No fever and ague there.
No muddy or impassable roads. Plenty of Sue building
tone, lime and sand. These lands are being rapidly set
tled by the best class of Northern and Eastern people, and
will so appreciate in value by the improvements now be
ing made as to make their purchase at present prices one
of the very best investments that can be made, aside from
the profits to be derived from their cultivation. Members
of our firm reside in WA-KEENEY, and will show lands
at any time. A pamphlet, giving full information in re
gard to soil, climate, water supply, Ac., will be sent free
