WE never had such crops as this when
the Democrats were in power.
THE Bedford inquirer, as per announce
ment, made its appearance last week in its
new clothes, looking as bright as a "dollar
of the daddies" fresh from the hands of
coiner. Of course we wish it success.
"The Journal man is authorized to consider
Rauch not only used up, but completely pul
verized."—Democratic Crusader.
We do that same, and in November we
will "pulverize" the Democratic party so
fine that it can never be collected together.
THE National Standard, the daily or
gan of the Greenbackers, published at
Washington, and the People, published a t
Pittsburgh, of the same political faith,
have both gone by the board; busted, quit,
"and still there's more to follow."
JEFF. DAVIS, and not James Buchan
an, was the last Democratic President.
The seat of Government was only trans
ferred from Washington to Richmond.
Davis never forgot his Democracy and is
making speeches for his old party now.
SaNATOR FISHES, of Huntingdon, has
finally agreed to become a candidate for
the Republican Congressional nomination
in that district. We repeat what we sta
ted some time ago—that if any Republican
can carry that district, Fisher is the man.
—Blair County Radical.
Both the Republican papers of Huntingdon
—the Globe and the JOURNAL—state that they
are authorized to announce that H. G. Fisher,
of that county, will be a candidate for the
Republican nomination for Congress in this
district. Very well. Trot him out.— Valley
Spirit.
_
We propose to do that, and if wisdom
rules the action of the conference, he will
be the next Representative from this dis
trict, for he can "trot" over the Congres
sional course without any trouble, distan
cing Stenger or "any other man."
Ovu townsman, Hon. R. Milton Speer,
who has been on a tour through the oil
regions, for the purpose of viewing the po
litical field, was lionized by the Clarion
Democracy during his visit to Edinburg,in
that county. He made them a speech, in
which, as a matter of course, in true dem
agogue style, he charged the hard times
and depression in business to the Repub
lican party. A man of Speer's intelligence
displays considerable "cheek," and counts
largely upon the credulity of his hearers
when he resorts to such clap-trap to ad
vance the interests of his party. Had he
told his hearers that the country was suf
fering from the results of the Democratic
rebellion he would have told them a truth
;known to every intelligent man in the land.
FIRST DEMOCRATIC SPEECH OF
THE CAMPAIGN.
Editor.
It is refreshing to hear an occasional
candid Democratic speech, to listen to a
copperhead or a rebel speaking out openly,
boldly, defiantly, and saying what he means.
It is not often that we are so favored. Dem
ocrats are so much in the habit of acting
from policy, of prevaricating, and of en
deavoriug to conceal their opinions and
purposes, that we do nut usually look for
them to pursue any other course. In steer
ing between the Unionism of the North
and the rebel sentiment of the South, they
find it necessary to avoid the plain talk
that radicals on both sides may indulge in.
Jefferson Davis has made a speech, and
we think it auspicious for the Democratic
cause that it is the first speech of the
campaign. He is a plain, out-spoken Dem
ocrat and sets an example of candor and
honesty of expression that may encourge
the weak, the timid and the time-serving
He has taught them how to touch the Dem.
oeratic heart and stir the Democratic blood.
If he has the same influence with his par
ty that he had not many years ago, we
may expect another bold push for secession
and the Southern Confederacy.
This leader of Democracy and late head
of a rival government said very modestly :
"Representing no one, it would be quite
unreasonable to hold any other responsible
for opinions which I may entertain."
It is not unusual for orators to speak in
this manner when they know that their
auditors are in complete accord with them,
and to show the harmony of sentiment on
this occasion between the speaker and his
hearers, we are told that "during the de
livery of the addre3s Mr. Davis was fre
quently al plauded." That he has a large
following in the late Confederacy may be
inferred from the following announcement
made by the New Orleans Democrat :
"The two excursions, one from New Orleans
and one from Mobile, will meet on the 10th
inst., at Mississippi City, to enjoy the greatest
treat that our fellow-citizens have been fa
vored with for many years ; that is to hear
the illustrious chieftain and President of the
Southern Confederacy speak to his people
from the rostrum. We have no doubt that all
those who can afford it will join in Wednes
day's excursion to Mississippi city, for this is
perhaps the only chance that our people will
have to hear distilled eloquence from the lips
of the greatest man of the age."
The occasion upon which this address
was delivered is in itself an evidence of
Jeff's popularity. It was not a self sought
opportunity. It was expressly made for
him. "The Association of the Army of
the Tennessee" presented him a gold badge
and certificate of membership, expecting,
of course, a speech, and the ]ate rebels
went in large numbers from distant places.
New Orleans and Mobile, to hear him.
The presentation was made at Mississippi
city on the 11th of the present month .
Perhaps Jeff. himself was the only person
present who would say that he represented
no one and that others should not be held
responsible fur his opinions.
As to what these opinions are, a brief
extract will suffice. He said :
The question of the State rights of secession
in 1861 was at least debatable, but the course
pursued by the Federal government, after the
war had ceased, vindicated the judgment of
those who held separation to be necessary for
the safety and freedom of the Southern States,
and the unsuccessful attempt to separate left
those in power to work their will as it had
been manifested when they first got control
of the government. The events are too recent
to require recapitulation, and the ruin they
have developed requires no other memorial
than the material and moral wreck which the
country presents.
The speaker reasserted his unshaken belief
in the right of secession and the duty of the
citizen to battle in the cause of the State after
secession.
As it was well known that he entertain
ed these views, that they had not changed
in any respect since the rebellion, we can
not regard the invitation given him to
express them as anything else than an en
dorsement of them. We usually ask those
to speak whom we desire to hear and be
stow honors upon those whom we consider
worthy of them. With these facts in view,
it seems to us that Jeff. Davis is still the
leader of Southern secession sentiment..
Ben. Butler says the Electoral Commission
couldn't give Hayes a title because it bad none
to give.—Pittsburg Post.
Precisely. It was not the design of the
Electoral Commission to give anybody a
title. It was formed for the purpose of as
certaining to whom the title belonged•
And in performing this duty it retained
the respect of the country. Even leading
Democrats in Congress approved of and
affirmed its action. The Potter committee
does not follow the Commission in inqui
ring who has the right to the title, but is
endeavoring to establish it for Tilden. This
effort receives the scorn and contempt of
the people and is laughed at by the party
it was intended to help. Mr. Thur
man is in doubt as to its effect upon the
Democratic cause in Ohio, and as for Til
den, it has so completely killed him off
that his former friends will scarcely enter
tain the idea of making him a candidate
again.
THE Democratic organs are making a
vigorous campaign against Grant. They
call him a "despot," a "man of iron and
blood," and have much to say against "a
strong government." We are glad that
the civil strife which the Democrats in
augurated had this compensation, that it
produced a Grant, one of the results which
they a thousand times have had reason to
regret. One of their papers calls on him
to "come home and imitate other ex-Pres
idents by retiring to private life." He
will, no doubt, follow this disinterested
advice after he has served his third term.
We have rio idea at present of electing
him a fourth time. That is too far in the
future.
PENNSYLVANIA will soon be overrun
by Chinese. They have been refused nat
uralization in California and New York
and are coming here to get their papers
from Wallace and Speer. What a big job
it will be to grind that coffee ! And it
must all be done by hand, too. It can't
be ground by horse or steam power. The
communists are opposed to labor saving
machinery and Speer is afraid of them.
TII E communists won't work themselves
nor allow the work to be done by machin
ery. They would even destroy the reapers
and mowers without which the immense
crops of this year could scarcely have been
cut. They would interfere with the good
gifts which Providence bestows on man.
ORGANIZE Hoyt clubs.
THE KNOW-NOTHING DEMOCRACY.
It is a fact that a certain element of the De
mocracy of Luzerne, composed of what I call
the Know-Nothing Democracy, is opposed to
Senator Dill on account of his liberal, non
sectarian views and tendencies and they will
vote either for Mason or lloyt.—Judye Stanton.
There is no denying the fact that the
Democrats aro trying to run religion and
politics together in this campaign. This
is the plan determined upon in all F:u•ts of
the State, but they cannot carry it out in
all places in the same way. The above ex
tract shows how it is to be done in Lu.
zerne county. It is absolutely necessary
to impress upon the people there, of whom
Judge Stanton aspires to be the leader,
and upon the members of the church to
which he belongs, that Dill is "liberal and
non sectarian" in his views and tendencies
and is opposed by "the .16low-IV)th lay De
mocracy." IL does not do in that county
to say anything about Dill being the son
of a Methodist preacher. That kind of
electionering is reserved for counties like
Huntingdon. The Democratic papers of
Luzerne say that Dill denies being a Meth
odist. Here they say he does not. With
out regard to that, we would ask our read
ers to observe the reason urged in the
mining regions for his election. If he is
a consistent son of a Methodist minister,we
think the "Know-Nothing Democracy"
could support him as well as any other
kind of Democracy. It looks as if he had
become inextricably entangled in this ef
fort to make an alliance between religion
and Democracy.
JUDGE STANTON was elected to the
bench in Luzerne county last year by the
party that now calls itself the National.
He is already trying to lead the commu
nistic element of that party back to the
Democracy. One of the reasons given for
the existence of the Nationals is that the
other parties have become so corrupt that
a new one is absolutely necessary. how the
latter could remain honest, and pure, and
angelic while inviting all that was worth
less and corrupt in Democracy and Repub
licanism to join it, is a proposition which
even a political Euclid could scarcely dem
onstrate. The very first men to become
Nationalists and to obtain office thereby,
were those who were not to be trusted or
given advancement in any other party.
Stanton was one of these, and as soon as
elected to a Judgeship he returns to the
Democratic mire and endeavors to induce
the Nationals to wallow in it. The friends
from whom he is now parting say they are
well rid of him, that their party will be
purer without him. So it will. But that
is no answer to our charge that Judge
Stanton is an example of the kind of men
that the National party attracts. Besides
it is a humiliating confession that that par
ty could need any purification. It is too
young to be led astray. It is too fair to be
so frail. The Democrats have welcomed
Stanton back with open arms. They de
nounced him when he left them ; the Na
tionals denounce him now, and both are
right. Either are welcome to him. We
have none like him in our party.
WHAT intelligent or candid man will
claim that the Potter investigation has es
tablished the right of Tilden to the electo
ral vote of Florid and Louisiana ? Has
it not shown that the decision of the Elec
toral Commission was just right ? The Dem
ocrats pretended to be terribly outraged at
the refusal of the Commission "to go be
hind the returns." If that tribunal had
done so, much of the evidence would have
been from just such witnesses as the com
mittee has called, from Anderson, Boulds,
Baker and Weber. 'Whether they could
have sworn in February, 1877, as they do
now, is doubtful. Their present statements
were made up after they failed to obtain
from the administration appointments for
which they have shown themselves totally
unfit. They have proved much against
themselves and but little in regard to those
they have sought to injure. As to Mrs.
Jenks, we believe she would at any time
have made the same statement in reference
to the so called Sherman letter that she
did before the committee. And if the Com
mission had gone thoroughly into these
matters, Secretary Sherman would have
had an opportunity to prove what he has
requested permission from the committee
to prove, that there was such a reign of
terror in the Feliciana parishes as to com
pletely deter Republicans from voting. But
Mr. Potter refuses to go into this branch
of the case. He don't want "to go behind
the returns" either. It would not suit the
purposes of the Democrats now.
FRIEND Nestc—l have been studying a hard
question, and failing to find an answer refer it
to you:
What is the difference in principle between
a Greenbacker and a Communist, allowing
each his own statements of his position ?
The Communists wish a law compelling
men who have property, to give it up to those
who have none without giving them anything
for it.
-
The Greenbacker wishes a law compelling
the man of property, to receive a worthless
piece of paper for his property.
What is the difference ?
Please answer, and you will be our oracle
hereafter. QUIZ.
Assuming the above propositions to be
as our correspondent puts them, the answer
would not be hard to give, but then this
is a question upon which men differ wide
ly, and we have no doubt honestly, and we
would not therefore be able to answer the
question as it stands. The platform of the
different parties is supposed to be the
enunciation of their political creed, and to
this we would have to refer our correspon
dent.
"THE Know-Nothing Democracy,"
spoken of by Judge Stanton as being
opposed to Mr. Dill, will certainly support
J. Simpson Africa. The latter gentleman
belongs to that wing or party, whichever
it may be. Ile calls himself a Democrat,
and we are sure he is a Know-Nothing.
He was initiated at the Court House, in
this place, when the tide set in most
strongly against foreigners and Catholics,
and when it seemed to be a good thing to
ride into office upon. lladn't Judge Stan
ton better tell the people of Luzerne coun
ty something about Mr. Africa's "non
sectarian views and tendencies ?"
THE Grand Central Hotel, New York,
has long been a favorite with Southern
people. Now that the St. Nicholas is soon
to close, it is presumed that the Grand
Central will absorb a still larger proportion
of the Southern trade.
THE "tramp" referred to by Dill in his
speech at the Pitts 7 )urgh Convention, as be
ing at one end of the line, while the "nabob"
is at the other, is the poi/tiro/ tramp. Mr.
Pill "knows how it is himself." Ile tramp
ed from one State to another, principally
through the South, bcli►re the war, and
came to Pennsylvania just when he was
most needed here by his rebel friends. A
political tramp is w.)rt , e than a carpet bag
ger.
TILE editors of the Altoona Tribune were
arrested on Tuesday last at the instance of

This is the second or third time these gen

has been the over-sensitive Recorder. We
wish our brethren of the Tribune a safe
deliverance.

The Weather.
With the thermoLleter ranging away up in
the nineties, and no rain for the last three
weeks, vegetation languishing and the streets
enveloped in clouds of dust, our weather poet
thus mournfully but truthfully describes the
situation as we go to press :
No rain ! no rain! the heavens seem brass,
As they frowningly on us lower,
No prophet in Israel now, alas,
To pray for the needed shower.
The sun looks down with an angry glare,
And the earth, all parched and dry,
Looks up with an earnest, pleading stare,
To the pitiless, frowning sky.
The herbage is dead on the bare hillside,
Where the cattle were wont to graze ;
And the corn is shriveled, parched and dried,
'Neath the burning noontide rays.
The famished herds as they seek the brook,
For its life•giving rich supply,
Now turn away with a hopeless look,
For the stream, alas, is dry.
We would welcome the thunder's music peal,
And the lightning's fiercest glare ;
As the wheeling squadrons charge and reel,
Through the blackened and blinding air,
As we watch for the "little cloud" in vain,
Which, though small as tho prophet's hand,
Brought with it a first-class shower of rain
To water the thirsty land.
Whenever and Wherever
Diseases of a cholerate type prevail, or there
is cause to apprehend a visit from them, the
system should be toned, regulated and rein
forced by a course of Ilostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Perfect digestion and a regular.habit
of body are the best safeguards against such
disorders. If promptly taken in billious colic,
diarrhoea and cholera morbus, the disease is
usually frustrated. In diarrlicea cases, it is
only necessary to restore the tone of the relax
ed bowels, and this is one of the specific effects
of this medicine* Wind on the stoinwAi,
heartburn, biliousness, nausea, headache and
other symptoms of disturbance in the gastric
and hepatic regions are also speedily relieved
by this excellent remedy. As a family medi
cine it is invaluable, since it promptly and
completely remedies those ailments which are
of most frequent occurrence. [jnlys-lm
Common Sense.
Many imagine all advertised medicines to
he worthless nostrums, and indiscriminately
condemn them ; but is it not an injustice to
the thousands of respectable citizens who
give voluntary evidence of benefits received,
to thus question and dowbt their veracity and
integrity ? Fairbank's standard scales are
extensively advertised. Does it necessarily
follow that they are inferior in make, and less
accurate than others? Hare they not been
demonstrated to be among the best? Again,
is it common sense to suppose that a physi
cian with capital could be induced to hazard
it and a hard earned reputation upon a worth
less article? R. V. Pierce, M. D., of the
World's Dispensary and Invalid's Hotel, Buffa
lo, N. Y., is the proprietor of the most popular
family medicines in the market. His reputa
tion as a skillful surgeon and physician has
been fully established for many years. Would
physicians and clergy, after having tested his
medicines thoroughly unite in commending
them to the afflicted, if they possessed no
merit ? The undersigned take pleasure in rec

LOWER-END REPUBLICANS.
Mt. Union, Pa., June 13, 1878.
MR. EDITOR :—Please announce the name of
Irvin D. Kuntzelman as a candidate for the office
of Register and Recorder, before the Republican
County Convention.
Mr. Kuntzelman is well known to the citizens
of this county, who have had business in the Re
corder's Office within the past seven years, as a
young man of most pleasing manners, and who
has, as a clerk in that office, commended himself
to all, by his courteous and accommodating spirit
—qualities that arc essential in a public officer.
He is thoroughly acquainted with the business of
the office and entirely competent to manage it. He
is a young man of high moral character, and of
temperate and industrious habits. His father hav
ing died in defense of his country's liberties, Mr.
Kuntzelman is the sole support ofa widowed moth
