THE LAST CHANCE,
AND LAST NOTICE.
For two months we have been making
an effort to effect the settlement of the ac
counts standing on the books of the late
firm of J. R. Durborrow & Co., but up to
this time but a very small number of those
to whom we have seat bills have respond-
ed. These accounts must be settled. From
those who are unable to pay the cash we
are willing to take their notes, for a limi
ted time. On the first of August we had
intended placing our books in the hands
of an officer for collection, but we will ex
tend the time to the first of September, at
which date all unsettled accounts will be
collected by due process of law. If you
would save costs and annoyance, give this
notice your attention. We are averse to
this mode of collection, but when no atten
tion is paid to our bills and appeals for
payment, there is no other plan left for us
to pursue. Don't compel us to add costs
to your accounts.
ONLY absolute fools talk about "absolute
money."
LET Foust and Doyle be sworn. Green
backers can't believe them without an affi
davit.
IF you want a greenback dollar 'to be
worth as much as a gold dollar, vote the
Republican ticket.
IF you don't want the government to
pay hundreds of millions of dollars of rebel
claims, vote the Republican ticket.
WILL Foust vote for Mason or Dill ?
The Nationals should insist upon an an
swer to this question before voting for him.
SUPPORT the party that made the green
backs and that redeems the promise con
tained upon the face of every note issued
by the government.
KEARNEY talks a great deal about Hell,
bat he hasn't said yet that that is where
the Democratic party came from. He isn't
as bad as Doyle.
Tux Democrats in Congress during the
last session extended the same kind of
friendship to the Indians that they did to
the rebels during the war. They were op
posed to an army.
DEMOCRATS are mistaken if they expect
to get Rev. Doyle to vote for a member of
their party for United States Senator. He
cannot forget that "no good thing comes
out of—no, not Nazareth—but that other
place," and will not lend his hand to the
converting of the Senate into a pandemo.
num,
M'CLURE, of the Philadelphia Times, is
booked to deliver the annual address at the
State Fair, in Erie, on the 26th of Sep•
tember. We don't know how he will do
on agriculture, but if it is turned into a
poultry show, Aleek will be at home, for
what he don't know about "roosters"—
legislative—ain't worth knowing.
THE Nationals of Lucerne county are
troubling Hendrick B. Wright, who wants
the support of both Democrats and Na
tionals for Congress, with some knotty
conundrums. One of them is whethee he
will vote for Dill or Mason. The same
question ought to be put to Foust. Press
it upon him.
ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS had deter
mined to be a candidate for Congress
whether his party renominated him or not,
and as his election was reasonably certain,
the party was obliged to yield to him. He
will therefore again represent the eighth
Georgia district. As he got enough of
revolution between the years of 1860 and
1865, we can depend upon his opposition
to the new one the Democrats will begin
after the election.
IT will be remembered how bitterly the
.Monitor was opposed last year to Demo
crats voting the Greenback ticket. Its edi
torials on the subject were vigorous, em
phasized, italicized and capitalized. Now,
it wants the whole Democratic party to
vote for the Greenback candidates. Might
it not as consistently urge its party to sup
port Mason and the rest of the National
State ticket ? If willing to join the Na
tionals in one thing, why not in all ?
I GENERAL HOYT
rti;s Speech in LehiO County—Views

Ably Explained.
Editor,

corporatioLs and or imeaswes in tln:ir in_
terests as against the welfare of the people.
The statement-44' that record, so widely
circulated in Republican newspapers, was
not prepared by his political opponents,
but is the work of Democrats, who gave it
publicity before the meeting of the Pitts•
burgh convention for the purpose of de
feating his nomination. Should Demo
crats deny the correctness of the record as
stated, they fly in the faces of members of
their own party, and Republicans can re
main neutral so far as consistent with the
duty of assuring fair play.
In contrast with Mr. Dill's views, as
shown by his course in the Legislature, we
give below those of our own candidate for
Governor, General Hoyt, as expressed in
his speech at Dorneysville, Lehigh county,
on Saturday last. General Hoyt took the
platform adopted by the convention which
nominated him at Harrisburg, as embody
ing the dominant Republican ideas, and
called the attention of the people present
,_, ti - to some matters of paramount publicim
portance it contains. He discussed each
plank or resolution separately and with
clearness and ability. The portion we
have selected from his speech, relating to
the provisions of' the new Constitution in
regard to corporations, is a fair index of
the manner in which he handled the other
subjects he took into consideration. We
regret that we have not space for the
whole speech, for there is, indeed, no rea
son for discriminating in favor of the ex
tract we make, except than it relates to a
matter on which Mr. Dill's position is well
known, and on which General Hoyt's is of
much interest to the public.
Mr. Hoyt then entered upon the con
sideration of the sixth resolution of the
platform. He said the next resolution has
reference to a question which has attracted
much consideration. It is as follows :
"That we view with alarm the growing depres
sion of many of the leading and trading interest
ofthe State and country, resulting largely it is
believed, from unfair advantages and discrimina
ting rates of freight and transportation privileges
given bY many of the transportation companies
of the State and country to a favored fow, to the
prejudice of our general producing interessts, and
this convention earnestly recommends the enact
ment of such laws by the State and National Leg
islatures as will correct the growing evil."
Pennsylvania in common with all the States of
the Union, and indeed, with all civilized countries,
has festered railroads. The locomotive is a great
type of modern civilization. It has revolutionized
trade and commerce between the States and com
munities. .It moves all our productions to the
place of consumption. It performs a most import
ant function in our social state. It moves labor
itself from our crowded places to the points of
demand. It redistributes cheaply and quickly.
In a general way it may be said that most enter
prising men have invested more or less capital in
railroads. It is too late to doubt their beneficient
results. In process of time abuses grew up. Our
own citizens lost the advantage of nearness to
markets. Now they ask that their nearness may
not be made to operate to a positive disadvantage.
So the people of Pennsylvania in their Constitu
tional Convention decreed that "No discrimination
in charges or facilities for transportation shall be
made between transportation companies and indi
viduals or in favor of either by abatement, draw
back or otherwise, and no railroad or canal com
pany, or any lessee, manager or employee thereof
shall make any preference in furnishing cars or
motive power." This proposition was designed
to make the transporter a common carrier. It
says, for instance, that the Lehigh Valley Rail
road Company shall not charge to shipper of coal
from Hazleton one rate and permit another to
ship at a less rate. It does not mean that the
shipper from the Wyoming region further off must
pay more than the Hazleton producer, but it does
mean that he shall not pay less. It, in connection
with other provisons, means that the iron master
at Pittsburgh shall not pay more to carry his
manufactured goods to Philadelphia than the like
articles Day from Wheeling or Chicago. It does
mean that the Lancaster or Lehigh county farmer
shall not pay more to carry his bushel of wheat to
Philadelphia than the Ohio or Kansas farmer. It
means that all charges for transportation of per
sons and property of the same class, in the same
direction, the same distance, shall be alike and
shall not exceed the charges from a more distant
direction. It means that all the citizens of the
State which gave the railroad companies great
and valuable franchises shall be treated with
equality, fairness and honesty. It means that
these corporations shall be managed in the interest
of the stockholders and the public, and not those
of inside rings. This principle needs no vindica
tion and the Republican party has publicly pledg
ed itself to such legislation as will carry out the
constitution—aided as it must be, to be entirely
effectual, by National legislation. Corporations
then guilty of a violation of these Constitutional
and legal provision will bo justly held to a for
feiture of their franchises.
This I understand to be the scope and force of
this resolution, and the avowed doctrine of the
Republican party.
These then are the questions on which the Re
publican party appeals to the 750,000 voters of
this Commonwealth, to say whether its record in
the past entitles it to trust in the future. I ask
what measures the Republican party have ever
undertaken that it has not carried out. It has
been:charged that the financial crisis was brought
about by the party. It is not true. It was pro
duced by extravagance and over-speculation,
induced by the prosperity of the country immedi
ately after the close of the war. It is charged
that the party has contracted the currency. It is
not true. The currency has not been contracted
one dollar since 1565. It is not worth while to
appeal to sensible men. They can see, read and
think for themselves. I did not intend to make
much of a speech, I only came to get acquainted
with the people in the hope both might be bene
fi tted.
THE Monitor, of last week, under fla
ming capitals, makes an unwarranted at
tack upon onr associate, Mr. Lytle, charg
ing him with having written and paid for
the publication of a communication in the
Nationalist the week previous to its pur
chase by the Speer wing of the Democracy.
Mr. Lytle has been absent for a couple of
weeks and we presume has not seen a copy
of the Monitor containing this charge,
which is the reason for his not giving it
his personal attention. 'Why the Monitor,
a Democratic paper, should take such a
deep interest in the affairs of an opposing
party looks queer to persons who are not
aware of the political situation in this
county. Last year it labored hard to pre
vent Democrats voting the Greenback tick
et, but this fall a change has come over
the spirit of its dreams, and it is willing to
ignore the existence of the Democratic
party in order that it may use the U reen
back party to advance the political inter
ests of It. Milton Speer. Mr. Fries, the
late editor of the Nationalist, who is an
honest man, was not willing to run his pa
per in the interest of the Democratic party,
and at once it was determined that he
must step down and out to make room for
a more pliant tool, and how well Speer and
North succeeded in filling his place by one
who does their bidding, we refer you to
the last issue of Speer's organ No. 2. We in
vite attention to the letter of Mr. Fries, treat
ing upon this question, in another column
of to-day's JOURNAL. The promise of a
share of the Salary Grab could not swerve
him from his honest convictions of right.
"Bribery," indeed.
As Rev. Doyle could not go to the Dem
ocratic party, he is waiting for it to come
to him. And it is coming, too, "no, not
from:Nazareth, bet th«t other place."

"There seems to be no room fur doubt but that
the bond given by State Treasurer Bickel in 1552
and 1855 has been stolen from the packages con
taining the bonds filed by State officials in those
years. The search for the bond was concluded
on Saturday, every package of bonds from 1800
down to the present date having been carefully
gone over by a competent clerk in the State De
partment, but no trace of the missing bond was
faun I. Mr. Dickel'a bonds for 1850 and 1851 are
there with the bonds of others for the same years,
but while the package of bonds for 1552 and 1853
contains all the bonds of the State officers for these
years the bonds of Mr. Bickel aro missing. It has
gone where the woodbine twineth, and all further
search for it has ceased. _ _
For the past ten years, probably less, there
has been kept in the State Department a book in
which aro copied all tho bonds given by those
State officials who aro required to give bonds. The
original bond, after being copied, is filed away.
Had this method of making the State secure boon
in vogue during Mr. Bickel's occupancy of the
State Treasury there would have at least been one
sure source for securing the necessary informa
tion."
The Democrats denounce such occur
rences as these as "dead issues," but they
are the most recent cases of defalcation
and stealing of records that have taken
place in the Treasury Department, and al
though they have been sleeping for a long
time, they seem to have wakened up al
most as soon as the Democrats got their
fingers into the money bags again.
THE SCOUROE —For a week or ten days
past the yellow fever has been raging in
150111 c of the Southern cities and towns with
appalling fatality. The death rate in New
Orleans, Memphis and Grenada is very
large, and these places are almost depopu
lated. All citizens who are able to do so
are fleeing from the pestilence. In the
town of Grenada, Miss., the suffering is
terrible, and the few citizens remaining in
the plague-stricken town are calling for
nurses, food for the poor and assistance to
help bury the dead. Hundreds have died,
and there seems to be no abatement of the
disease. The towns, boat and railroad lines
are quarantined and every precaution is
being taken to prevent the spread of the
disease.
A steamer arrived at the elaware
breakwater, a day or two ago, having on
board several persons suffering from the
disease, the captain of which died at that
place.
Senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania, would
be a good Vice President. And so would Wade
Hampton. And it is about time that the South
had a proper recognition.—New York Express,
(Dem.)
"RECOGNITION" is what the South has
been wanting for a long time. It is just
what was asked for the Southern Confed
eracy, and as she didn't succeed in getting
it as nn independent government, she now
claims that it should be given her by pla
cing prominent rebels at the head of the
nation to which she was whipped into sub
mission. She must . make her appeal to the
Democratic party, which may be prevailed
upon to give Hampton the preference over
Wallace, and, if' so, Republicans can have
no objection. A Southern Democrat will
suit us as well on the Democratic ticket as
a Northern one, and would no doubt be as
worthy of the office. By all means, Dem
ocrats, let the South have "proper recog
nition."
IN the campaign of last year, it was
claimed by the Democrats that the election
of their candidate for State Treasurer, Mr.
Noyes, would lead to the disclosure of gross
mismanagement of the State finances on
the part of the Republicans. After his
election, he neglected for so long to pub
lish a statement of the financial condition
of the Commonwealth as he had promised
to do, that his attention was called to the
matter in not a very polite way by a Dem
cratic county committee. Had that com
mittee known the reason for that delay,
they would not have been so anxious for
the statement. It was impossible to make
the disclosures that were expected, and
Mr. Noyes hesitated about disappointing
the party that elected him. But he yielded
to the demand when made upon him, and
the result is the most complete vindication
of the Republicans that was ever received
by any party.
THE over-issue and disposed of State
bonds to the amount of $lOO,OOO during
the official term of John M. Bickel, a Demo
cratic ex-State Treasurer, who is still liv
ing in Philadelphia, is the only instance
of "financial mismanagement" the present
Democratic State Treasurer has been able
expose. Mr. Noyes was elected for the
purpose of disclosing the short comings
and dishonesty of his Republican prede
cessors, but in this respect his promises
have not been fulfilled. He has given his
party an exposure of a Democratic defal
cation, feeling obliged, no doubt, to discov
er some wrong doing, even if it should be
in his own party. And now they are mad
at him. Has he not shown his incompe
tency by failing to find any Republican
crookedness and by not overlooking Bickel's
transactions as a financier ! According to
the Democratic view, be has.
TUE editor of Speer's paper No. 1, is
sorely troubled because the JOURNAL and
the Globe did not publish sketches of the Re
publican nominees. Suppose you try your
hand on writing sketelies of Foust and
Doyle, Speer's candidates fur the Legisla
ture. Tell the laboring men bow these
worthies have toiled fur head, and when
you are in the sketch business write one
of your master, and tell us of his Five
Thousand Dollar Salary Grab; of his being
hissed by the Reading convention ; of the
several creatures he has in his employ ; of
his maudlin harrangue at Bedford, and
many other things that you are supposed
to know. Do this, Mr. Montor, and you
will find that you have quite enough to
occupy your time without meddling with
that which is none of your business.
NATIONALS, when Mr. Durborrow tells
you through the Speer-Foust organ that
you must surrender to the Democrats,
you'll do so, won't you ? Certainly, you
will. Lay down your arms, now. It is a
Democrat who is to be elected United
States Senator.
SUSPICIOUS DISAPPEARANCE_
TUE Monitfir is trying to divert the at
tention of the people from the efforts of
Speer to run the Greenback party, by
raising the old and worn•out cry of" Weodi
and Orlady." This charge is the silliest
kind of nonsense, fUr it is well known that
these gentlemen had no wore to do with the
nomination the Ecpuhliean ticket than
any other wewbers of the party. You way
cry "Woods and Orlady" until you are
hoarse, but the people will not lose sight
of the fact that Speer and North are run
ning the Democratic and Greenback par
ties in the interest of the Salary Grabber.
THE new organist, in chiming in with
the Monitor's tune, does not mention the
defeat of Cameron as one of the important
objects to be secured by placing the Na
tional organization in the hands of the
Democratic leaders. We would like to
hear what he has to say about Mr. Camer
on, the Cameron ring, and Cameronism
generally. It may be presumed that he
desires to accomplish the same purpose
the Democrats do by the proposed surren
der, and why ? Will he tell us ? Why
is he opposed to Cameron ?
THE Greenback _Nationalist of last week,
in advociting a fusion of the Nationals and
Democrats, compares those parties to two
drowning men. This illustration is a very
apt one, as the Monitor says the Democrats
cannot elect their ticket if they nominate
one, and the Greenback organ says the
Nationals cannot elect theirs. The very
original idea is therefore advanced that as
neither can swim alone, they ought to take
hold of each other and sink together. We
hope they will do it.
THE Democrats of Pennsylvania will not
be for Tilden next time. The supporters
of Randall for the Presidency and of Wal
lace for the Vice Presidency will be equally
interested in killing him off. Chairman
Speer, however, as a matter of policy, will
be permitted to pretend to be for him un
til lie sends that bar'l of money to help
along with this campaign. But after get
ting his greenbacks, whom will the Chair
man support, Wallace or Randall
BEFORE the Democrats endorse Foust,
they will probably want to know for whom
he will vote for Governor ? It would be
too bad if they should have to take two
candidates for Legislature who will sup
port Mason, and one of whom says he
could not go over to the Democratic party
because he says no good thing comes out
of -.
110 N. JNO. N. BAILEY, chairman of the
Democratic county committee, has issued
his call for a convention to be held on the
the 27th inst. If Speer, with the aid of
his two newspapers, can control the con
vention no ticket will be nominated, but
we mistake the temper of straightout, hon
est Democrats if they will permit the Sal
ary Grabber to ignore the right of their
party to make its own nominations.
THE lightning struck a powder maga
zine, at Pottsville, on the 17th ing , and
ignited twelve hundred kegs of powder.
The explosion was terrific Several per
sons were killed and a number of houses
torn into kindling wood. A swath fifty
feet wide was cut through a fbrest in
which the magazine had beedbuilt. The
excitement in Pottsville was intense and
the greatest consternation prevailed.
THURMAN, Hendricks and Voorhees are
mentioned as three of the Democratic
lights to appear in Pennsylvania during
this campaign. We presume that three
more of them (will be Cronin, Jim. An
derson and Tilden. In mentioning the
latter as lights, we do not refer to Cronin's
nose or Anderson's red head.
DEFEAT the party that declares the le

of Jeff. Davis, of "Wilkes Booth and of

WHERE THE TREASON LIES !
Who the "Greeks with Gifts" Are ?
EDITOR JOURNAL—Dear Sir : —By
your kindness and through your widely
circulated paper, I shall undertake to an
nul the calumny and slander attempted
on my reputation from an unexpected
source and by irresponsible parties.
In last week's Monitor—the supposed
organ of the Democracy—there appeared
under the startling heading of "TREASON
IN THE CAMP," followed with a sub-head
ing of "Beware of the Greeks with Gifts I"
(all in the most conspicuous style) an edi
torial article of the most vile, wicked and
malignant character, its intent being
to blast the reputation of the late editor of
the Greenback _Nationalist and thereby
nullify,if possible, his past, present and fu
ture influence for obvious reasons, some of
which will hereinafter appear.
The greater part of the article consists
in trying to make a "mountain out of a
mole-bill," and is emphatically only gas,
of a kind very closely resembling that
which emanates from a much disturbed
manure pile, while the gist or substance
thereof, when properly analyzed, represents
a mass of political slime, personal spleen
and moral nastiness, that was vomited furth
from the foul and gluttonous stomachs of
the mean and dastardly political hybrids
who concocted and published the aforesaid
diabolical and slanderous article, on the
same principle that the cheeky pick-pocket
cries out "Stop thief !" i. e. to divert at
tention from himself. Their villainous
scheme is too plain to deceive the most
unsophisticated person. By raising a great
hue and cry around one who "stood as a
wall of adamant" and resisted their vile
subterfuges, they expect to cover up the
slimy trail of the coppery serpent whose
stealthy prowlings through the "greenback
camp" was becoming too painfully visible
to every truly honest man therein, and
when many of them were seriously consid
ering the propriety of scotching ye hateful
snake—lo'. it took "another shape," as
did its prototype in primeval days, in the
Garden of Eden, whose victim was mother
Eve. Now, as then, the despicable inter
loper whispers falsehood and calumny into
the ears of the undesigning, for the benefit
of his ass-piring master—the Evil One.
However, before proceeding further, I
shall dit4seet and refute the malicious and
libelous charges preferred against me by
he organ of the Demoeratic party—or no
that is not correct—the real simon-pure
Democrats are without an organ now in
this vicinity, the 1 1 / a nitor has become the
organ, or rather the trumpet of the "Fn.
sioniNts,” whose creed is con "fusion." Ent
now to the accusations of the midnight
eunspiraters : They start with plenty of
int roduetery ; prcsuini e-z their readers are
too ignorant to know whit papers are pub
lished in their midst—kindly stating for
what purpose the Oreenlmek Xationalist
was established—also, referring to the
county convention of the N. G. L. party
and the ticket it nominated, which it says
was "composed, in the main, amen of ex '
eelleut character." All ! then they were
not all so good ! Pray tell us, Mr. Monitor'
which of them are your favorites ? But
then, conies a surprise, because we accept
ed and "prominently inserted, and leaded
and headed a communication" thusly : LET
Us HAVE A STRAIGHT GREENBACK LA
BOR PARTY OR NONE." A terrible blow
to the "fusionists," surely.
In reply to that part, we say, that not
being a hide bound editor we never refu
sed a decently written comtaiknication, it' l
we had the room. Our breoer matter
was always "leaded" when not crowded,
and we inserted the correspondent's "head
ing" like an honest editor would. Next,
they presume to judge our purposes. Now,
we submit the facts to any candid person,
and would like to know what right have
our most bitter enemies to sit in judgment
over our acts, much less our purposes ?
Then follows the charges, the most of
which are frivolous; for instance, com
plaining of the Republican leaders endeav
oring to secure the help of the new party
just like the Democratic leaders are doing
too. Also, making a terrible ado, because
the writer hereof was on social terms with
a Republican neighbor, who happens to
be a prominent politician. And the accu
sation that we were "twice privately clos
eted with Mr. Lytle for hours," is false,
and it is not the first lie for the he or she
pimp, that reported it. We never spent
over thirty minutes in that gentleman's
company, and it wasn't very private eith
er. Besides, it is nobody's business with
whom we associate—we are free-born, and
do as we please in that respect. Any way,
we don't consider it any worse than to ac
cept the frequent invitations to visit per
sons of the opposite politics.
The other and main charge means simply
and briefly, bribery! Of course the veno•
mous libeler is sharp enough to say he
has reason to believe thus and so, and there
by saves himself from being compelled to
make good his charges in a more substan
tial manner. However, to make a long
story short, we do hereby declare that
whoever asserts or intimates that we were
bribed at any time, or for any purpose, as
serts what is false, malicious, cowardly and
a damnable slander. We have never sold
our principles or deserted our colors under
the most trying occasions, and trust we
never shall be guilty of either.
Somethings in the affair would be truly
funny, if the designs were not so basely
wicked. The idea that the editor of' the
Monitor has become a step-father of the
"rag baby." Where did Daddy Fleming
get that simile from ? "If a father were
to drive a knife to the heart of his child
we would know that it meant death." Now
carry that pretty little speech a little fur
ther—suppose that father found a "bas
tard" or two in his family, and said bas
tards would violently abuse the "old man,"
he might not use a knife, but lie would
very likely take up a club or a good heavy
boot and apply it in a very forcible man
ner ; just like Mr. Fries is accused of do
ing. The miserable conspirators before
closing their wretched smut-machine cry
out, "Treachery ! infamous Treachery!"
Amen ! say we. For surely if' the "Dem
ocratic Fusionists" counted on our support,
they did not yet it. To that we plead guilty.
"If that be treason, make the most ofTit,"
and the divil take yces.
Now comes our turn. We have a few
charges to make, too, and when this politi
cal ledger is balanced, some folks may wish
they hadn't taken any stock in the con
cern, as it "didn't pay."
Our charges shall not be made by in
uendo or intimation, but they shall be
plain and direct, and we are able and ready
to back them up by an oath, before a
Notary or Justice-of-the-Peace, whenever
required.
Ist. We charge that a certain person,
who is styled "Speer's Lieutenant" or more
frequently "Speer's tool," did call on us
soon after we started the Greenback Na
tionalist, and several times subsequently,
and that he did by intimation, and also in
plain terms, give us to understand that
our interests here and as the editor of the
"Greenback organ" lay in the direction of
the Democratic party. That he did fur
ther and plainly say, that if we should
conduct that paper favorable to said party
and its leaders, or at least not to allow any
thing injurious to them to appear in its
columns, it would go well with us, pecu
niarly, and that we need hare no fears as
regards our business success Ile also in
dicated that "fusion" was to he the plan
adopted by the two parties—Democrat and
Greenback.
It is well known, and the files of the
paper will bear me out, that I did not
adopt that plan, nor accept his offers, al
though very much needing pecuniary as
sistance. And for not following that course
we incurred the displeasure of that clique
and the vengeance of a "High Cockaloruru."
2nd. We also charge, that subsequently
the same authority, and he appears to be
considerable authority for some parties,
did declare to us that direct fusion was
abandoned and the party arrangements
had taken a different shape. WI - rat that
"shape" was or is we shall not say, but let
each one guess for himself.
3rd. We charge further, that we hon
estly and solemnly believe, that had we
entered into a conspiracy with the Monitor
and its masters to run the politics of our
respective parties, in this county in "ca
hoot" or copartnership, and in case of
victory, (which seemed very probable) to
divide the county patronage, that those
who now villify us, would have glorified
us—and said newspaper would have "white
washed" our faults, instead of besmearing
us with its "mud" as it now does.
In conclusion we hold that no true,
genuine greenback-labor man—we mean
those whose fidelity to the new party was
never suspected or suspieioned—has ever
found fault with the late editor of the
Greenback Nationalist, because he earnestly
fought both of the two old political parties.
And'why a Democratic (?) organ should
cry out "Treachery" so lustily and also
undertake to champion the ticket, "in the
main," because we accepted and published
a communication, which it seemed to
think, exposed the dark and desperate
tricks of its party and their wily leader,
Chairman Speer, is positively beyond com
prehension, unless they actually regarded
our paper as their property, and its former
editor as their most obedient servant.—
Holy Moses ! what audacious presumption !
They certainly have found out their mis
take now, which may account for the un
bottling of their wrath upon our devoted
head. Nevertheless, our chief and only
crime consists in the faithful advocacy of
our high and holy principles, in preference
to a contest for the mere prize of office—
though it result in victory. If for this
we ate to be condemned, we glory in the
fact,for God is with the tight.
B. F. FRIES.
HUNTINGDON, Pit., Aug., 19th, 1878.
POLITICAL CHOW-CHOW.
—Circulate Republican newspapers and docu
meats.
-Read "Trites communication, published on
the first page.
—Republicans, organize clubs in every election
district in the county.
—Greenbackers see the "sell," and they won't
dance to Speer's inufie
—Ex-Mato Troaiurer Biokel's I,9nd is still miss.
ing. It looks suspicious.
—Every vote cast for the Democratic Congress
man this fall, is a vote in favor ofpaying the rebti
war claims.
—lf yuu want to prevent the payment of the
rebel war claims by the government, defeat the
Northern Democracy this fall.
—Speer has invested a large share of his Salary
Grab in newspapers. lie is now part owner of
two, the Monitor and the Nationalist.
—Sunday is not the day, nor camp meeting the
place, to solicit votes, particularly for men who
are anxious to mike laws for the pe•:Tle.
—We are told that a Greenbacker in this place
threatens to wade in blood unless there is a change
in affairs. That fellow should have a new set of
braines.
—And now ex-State Treasurer Eickel's bond
turns up missing, and the State is $lOO,OOO poorer
for the shortcomings of a Democratic officeholder.
Reform!
—Local issues should be forgotten this fall.—
Save the millions of money for which the South is
asking for by defeating their allies, the Northern
Democracy.
—Hon. 11. G. Fisher, if nominated for Congress,
will lead the ticket several hundred votes in this
eounty, and will redeem the district from Demo
cratic misrepresentation.
—Gen. Jacob M. Campbell, has been unani
mously renominated fur Congress by the Republi
cans of the Blair and Cambria district. lie will send
Coffroth, his competitor, to the bow-wows.
—Hon. Wm. D. Kelley has been nominated for
Congress by the Greenbackers in the Fourth Con
gressional District. Ilis renomination by the Re
publicans is certain, and his election is equally
sure.
—The Monitor and the Nationalist—Speer's
newspapers—are both playing upon the same
string, and plead hard for fusion. honest Demo
crats and Greenbackers will not play into the
hands of the Salary-Grabber.
—The Centre Herald, a paper started a few
weeks ago in Bellefonte, after beating the bush
since its advent into the world, has at last drifted
into the camp of the Nationals, they being the
"highest and best bidders" we presume.
—The candidates of the Speer-North ring aro
almost without a following. Greenbackers, who
have an idea above an oyster, can see that North
has sold them, body and breeches, to his brother
in-law Speer. The dose is too nauseating and
they won't swallow it.
—Dennis Kearney, the California communist,
who is championing the cause of the working men,
was in Indianopolis on Monday last, but his re
ception was anything but flattering. Ills har
rangue on this occasion was about equal to his
blackguard utterances at Boston.
—Salary-Grabber Speer has his hands full in
running the Democratic and the Greenback par
ties, and his newspapers, the Monitor and the Na
tionalist, but as this is to be "the battle of his life,"
he can afford to work hard in his efforts to win.
But the people will put the seal of condemnation
upon the wiley trickster.
—Democratic editors, who have been devoting
so much space to "Republican thieves," and
shrieking "fraud" until they have grown hoarse,
can now devote their time in clearing up Bickel's
one hundred thousand dollar treasury defalcation-
Respectfully referred to the Democratic Watchrna a.
The Watchman is a first-class "fraud shrieker,"
and we would like to see it spread itself on Bickel.
—"Square Timber" Noyes, Democratic State
Treasurer, according to promises made during the
campaign in which he was elected, has examined
the accounts of his predecessors, and in his pub
lished statement says that be "finds in their pro
ceedings nothing of a dishonest character." He
does find, however, that a former Democratic
Treasurer swindled the State out of $lOO,OOO. The
"fraud shrickers" have the wind taken oat of them
completely.
E. F. Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron.
The great success and delight of the people.
In fact, nothing of the kind has ever been
offered to the American people which has so
quickly found its way into their good favor
and hearty approva's as E. F. Kunkel's Bitter
Wine of Iron. It, does all it proposes, and
thus gives univer. tl satisfaction. It is guaran
teed to cure the worst case of dyspepsia or
indigestion, kidney or liver disease, weakness
nervousness, constipation, acidity of the
stomach, &c. Get the genuine. Only sold in
$1 bottles. Depot and Office, 259 North Ninth
St., Philadelphia. Ask for Kunkel's, and take
no other. Sold by all druggists.
DYSPEPSIA. DYSPEPSIA. DYSPEPSIA.
E. F. Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron is a sure
cure for this disease. It has been prescribed
daily for many years in the practice of emi
nent physicians with unparalleled success.
Symptoms are loss of appetite, wind and rising
of food, dryness in mouth, headache, dizziness,
sleeplessness and low spirits. Get the genuine.
Not sold in bulk, only in $1 bottles. Sold by
all druggists. Ask for E. F. Kunkel's Bitter

E. F. Kunkel's Worm Syrup never fails to

Stomach Worms are readily removed by Kun

successful physician in this country that can
remove Tape Worm in from two to four hours.

teaches if Tape Worm can be removed, all
other Worms can readily be destroyed. Ask
your druggist for a bottle of Kunkel's Worm
Syrup. Price $l.OO per bottle. It never fails .)

Overtasking the Energies.
It is not advisable for any of us to overtask
our energies, corporeal or Mental, but in the
eager pursuit of wealth or fame or knowledge,
how many transgress this salutary rule. It
must be a matter of great importance to all
who do so to know how they can regain the
vigor so recklessly expended. The remedy is
neither costly or difficult to obtain. Hostet
ter's Stomach Bitters is procurable in every
city, town and settlement in America, and it
compensates for a drain of bodily or mental
energy more effectually than any invigorant
ever prescribed or advertised. Laboring men,
athletes, students, journalists, lawyers, cler
gymen, physicians, all bear testimony to its
wondrously renovating powers. It increases
the capabilities for undergoing fatigue, and
counteracts the injurious effects upon the
system of exposure, sedentary habits, un
healthy or wearying avocations, or an insalu
brious climate, and is a prime alterative,
diuretic and blood depurent. [aug.2-Im.
IT IS WORTH A TRIAL.—"I was
troubled for many years with Kidney Com—
plaint, Gravel, Sic. ; my blood became thin ;
I was dull and inactive ; could hardly crawl
about, and was an old worn out man all over,
and could get nothing to help me, until I got
Hop Bitters, and now I am a boy again. My
blood and kidneys are all right, and I am as
active as a man of 30, although I am 72, and I
have no doubt it will do as well for others of
my age. It is worth the trial."—(Father.)
