TO THOSE CONCERNED.
All persons knowing themselves indebted to
this office for subscription, advertising or job
work, for over •ne year's standing, are ex
pected to call and pay up at once. These ac
counts if 52 be settled without further delay.—
We bare shown great leniency to those owing
us, but our business interests now require us
to demand payment, and if this request is not
complied with we will be compelled to add
costs, something which we are averse to doing
if it can be avoided.
We have bills against several townships and
boroughs, for advertising their school and
supervisors' accounts, which should have
been paid long ago, and which must now be
paid.
All accounts remaining unpaid after the
coming Court will be placed in the hands of
an officer for collection. tf.
FOUST is in favor of abandoning the
canal, and if elected will use his influence
to this end.
"THE Child of the Circuit," A. 11. Dill,
has got a new name—"young-man-afraid
of his corporation-record."
FISHER stock has gone up five hundred
per cent. since the advent of the great
"Persuader" in this county.
DOYLE is opposed to the new penitentiary,
and if elected, would vote against any
appropriation of money for its erection .
Vote for M'Vitty and Smith.
IF you desire a competent man to take
charge of the county funds, elect Sol.
Isenberg Treasurer. This office is too im
portant to be filled by an incompetent and
irresponsible person. Vote for Isenberg.
FOUST and Doyle, if elected to the Leg
islature, will cast their votes next winter
for Speer, Hughes or some other equally
obnoxious Democrat for United States
Senator. Vote for M'Vitty and Smith.
ABRAHAM B. MILLER, of Porter town
ship, will make a most capital Director of
the Poor. He is a farmer by occupation,
and his rare business qualifications emi
nently fit him fur this position. Vote for
Miller.
ONE more issue of the JOURNAL will
close the political campaign, and if Re
publicans will but do their duty we will
cook the Democratic and Greenback goose
so brown that it will never quack again.
Rally for the •vhole ticket.
Tits shining lights of the Democratic
party in this State held a conference at
the Girard House, in Philadelphia, the
other day, and after a full and free ex
pression of opinion, arrived at the conclu
sion that their State ticket was doomed to
defeat. Let the music begin.
THE "Double Ender," as applied to
Senator Fisher by R. Bruce Petrikin, in
a speech delivered at Orbisonia, last week,
and of which "my organ" No, 1 boasts so
much, is not original with that gentleman,
but was borrowed from the Altoona Sun.
"NOT one cent for the Centennial Cele
bration of the country," said W. S. Sten
ger by his vote in Congress, but "millions
upon millions of dollars to pay Democratic
Rebel war claims." Vote for Fisher if
you are opposed to the payment of Rebel
war claims.
THE Bellefonte Watchman and the
Lewistown Sentinel, papers under the con
trol of consistent Democrats, up to this
time have failed to hoist the Curt(a)in.—
Perhaps they cannot forget the time when
the "war Governor" had their "necks
cinder his heel. ' The prospects for Cur
tin's defeat are most flattering.
As a lifter, Chairman Speer is a de
cided success. He lifts one hand to swear
while with the other he lifts a $5,000
Salary Grab. On the sth of November
the people of Pennsylvania will lift Gen.
Hoyt and the balance of the ticket into
the several offices for which they are
named.
THE meeting of "The Peoples' League,"
.eotaposed of W. H. Day, the apostate,
land a few other colored people whom he
coaxed and bought to attend as delegates,
held in Pittsburgh, a few days ago, broke
rip in a regular figh4, during which dele
gates were knocked down, revolvers drawn,
and there was a regular stampede of the
"colored troops" under the command of
Day. With all la is shrewdness this man
not able to lead colored men into the
Democratic camp. If Mr. Speer paid a
big price for this actor in the political
drama he has been terribly cheated.
"HARK FROM THE TOMBS."
A correspondent in the .Altii . onaiist last
week, writing from Brady township, in
speaking of a Greenback meeting recently
held then , . says "Mr. Doyle opened with
a few remarks." We were under the im
pression that Mr. Doyle was in the habit
of opening with prayer. lie should cer
tainly not have departed from his usual
custom on this occasion. lie might at
least have reminded the Lord again of the
fact that we were "suffering from unwise
legislation," and how our naughty rulers
had "neglected the interests of the people,
and purchased their places with money,"
etc. But perhaps the Reverend gentle
man came to the conclusion that as the
party originated in that other p!are" it
is past praying for.
The correspondent almost goes into a
duck fit at the eloquence of our friend
Boring. Hear him. "Mr. Boring's thril
ling speech swept like a besoin of riestruc.
tion through the cobweb sophistries on
which the present financial policy hangs."
Je ru-saleml Stand from under ! But
then it was a voice from the spirit land.
But again, "Mr. Foust, one of our can
didates fur the Legislature was present."
Indeed, what had become of the other one ?
And further, that he is supposed to be "a
true Greenbacker clean through." Possi
bly that may be so, for Ben has an eye to
the greenbacks, and neglects no opportuni
ty of raking them in ; and those who know
him best say that he is not very particular
how he gets them. There was a time when
Ben had not much to say in furor of the
Greenbacks. That was when the Govern
ment was engaged in a death-struggle with
armed treason and he and his Democratic
friends were assisting their rebel friends
at tlit,?, front by giving our gallant soldiers
a "fire in the rear." It might have been
interesting to some of those "poor men,"
that the correspondent speaks of, who are
now out of employment and out of means,
to have had Ben's canal record read there-
It would have had the effect of showing
them how much be was willing to do for
them in the way of employment, and how
much they might expect from him next
winter provided he should get votes enough
to send him to Harrisburg.
That must have been a thrilling meet
ing, with fiatism at one end and spiritua-
Hem at the other, and Ben there to "make
it warm for them."
Editor.
Some of the workmen at the Shoe Factory
want to know whether the new Penitentiary
won't bring them in competition with convict
labor. The JOURNAL will please inform them.
—Speer's newspaper No. 2.
With pleasure. Not unless they com.
mit some act against the laws which will
consign them to that institution as prison
ers, which is not at all probable. will they
be brought in competition with convict la
bor. The Shoe Factory would not lose a
dollar's worth of trade in a year by the
erection of the penitentiary at this place.
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, two of the
greatest manufacturing cities in the State,
have each a penitentiary in their midst,
and we do not hear of their mechanics be
ing brought in competition with convict
labor. No man with au idea above an oys
ter would ever think of such a thing. The
opposition of that paper to the new peni
tentiary being built in Huntingdon is pat
ent to every one who has paid any atten
tion to its course since the hired scribbler
undertook to run it for Speer, Foust and
North. Tho men who own that paper have
an idea that the location of the penitentia
ry at this place would make a few votes for
Mr. Fisher, and in order to deprive him
of this suppert, they are working to seeure
its location at some point outside of this
county, to the injury of the working class
es, the business of the town and the entire
county. Laboring men, will you vote to
sustain a party whose leaders are fighting
against your best interests ? Vote the
whole Republican ticket, and you will as
sist in electing men who will guard your
interests instead of doing all in their pow
er against them.
THE Republican meeting in the Court
House on Thursday evening, although not
generally known, was well attended and a
decided success. Hon. Thomas V. Cooper
delivered an able speech in which be paid
particular attention to the infamous record
of Mr. Stenger. He was followed by Hon.
H. G. Fisher. This was the first opportu
nity our people had of bearing from Mr.
Fisher on the stump. He pleased every
body—Democrats and Republicans—and
should another opportunity be afforded the
Court House would not contain his bearers.
His handling of the questions of the day
was ably and eloquently performed, and
free from the personal tirades so common
among political speakers. He made a
good impression while here and elsewhere
in the county, and we have no hesitation
in predicting for him a solid support on
the part of the Republicans of Franklin.—
Chambersburg Opinion.
AV. S. STENGRa, the Democratic nomi-
nee for Congress, and. whose nomination
was offered to be purchased by his friends,
has been an office holder ever since he
obtained his majority. He served three
terms as District Attorney of his county
and has been elected to Congress twice ;
but this fall he will be retired to private
life. Vote for Fisher and give the "per
suader" a back seat.
TUE hired scribbler of Mr. Speer's Ara
tionalist, better known as the "Mud Sling
er," in last week's issue of that vehicle of
billingsgate and blackguardism, says that
we are a "scrub." If we be a "scrub,," in
the name of God what is be ? To tell
what he is would rake up more space than
we have to spire at present; we are after
larger game.
JIMMY G's assertion that Foust pays a
dollar a day for work when only seventy
five cents are asked, is looked upon as a
huge joke by those who know the avari
cious and grasping disposition 9f the wan.
It won't do, James, He loves his dollars
too well to be thus liberal with thew.
WHEN the Mud-Stinger asserts that the
JOURNAL has said one word about "public
patronage" being taken away from it, it
lies—not under a mistake—but knowingly
lies.

THE QUESTION SETTLED
Fort the benefit of "my organs," both
of which have occupied much space in
publishing lies and slanders in regard to
the late law firm of Woods & Williamson,
we take pleasure in informing the honest(!)
souls who figure as their nominal editors,
that the firm of Wools & ceas
ed to exist from the day that Mr. William
son took charge of the Prothonotary's of
flee. The men whose names appear ag ed
itors of "my organs," have each a litt/c
smattering of the law awl they know that
the law prohibits any practicing lawyer
from acting as Prothonotary. They have
known all the time that Mr. Williamson
had ceased to practice law, but took this
as a pretext to slander a better citizen and
an honester man than either of them ever
was. Voters of Huntingdon county, vote
flit. Mr. Williamson and show these slan
derers of an honest man that you ito not ap
prove of that kind of warfare.
P. S.—Since the above was put in type
we have received the fdlowing letter from
Mr. Williamson, which should satisfy all
honorable meu that the charges of "my
organs" are the basest fabrications. If
the men who figure as the editors of these
papers have a spark of honor in their com
position they will publish the letter of Mr.
Williamson and ask the pardon of their
readers for having published week after
week that which they knew to be false.—
Here is what Mr. Williamson says :
Ma. EDITOR :—You will please emphatically
deny for me that I am not, nor have I been
since 1 entered the Prothonotary's office, a
practicing attorney. The law firm of Woods
& Williamson was dissolved the day 1 took
charge of the Prothouotary's office, and since
then I have had no interest whatever in any
business done through my office by my former
partner or any other attorney. The editor of
the Monitor knows, or should have known at
least, that I dare not fill the office of Pro
thonotary and practice law at the same time.
The law forbids it. since I have been in the
office I have endeavored to discharge my duties
to the satisfaction of the people, and I believe
I have been successful in doing so. If elected,
as I believe I will be, I promise the duties of
the Prothonotary's office shall be discharged
in such a way that no person will have cause
to complain. Yours, hastily,
W. M'K. WILLIAMSON.
HUNTINGDON, Oct. 21, 1878.
HARD AT.WORK.—No one can appre
ciate the earnest solid work being done by
the Republican State Central Committee
under Col. Quay's efficient management
better than a personal visit to the head
quarters at Tenth and Chestnut streets.
On every side is to be seen the evidence
of active preparation. Huge piles of doc
uments, exposing the financial heresies of
the little party with the big name; re
futing Democratic arguments of past con
sistency, and then promises of future good
behavior; and promulgating solid Repub
lican arguments in favor of honest money
and good government, are being daily sent
to every part of the State. Lists of
,speakers, announcements of public meet.
ings and all the evidence of an aggressive
aril active campaign meet the visitor on
every side. Messrs. Milton S. Lytle, L.
Rogers, Thomas B, Cochran, Charles
Bergner and Gen. Robert B. Beath, the
efficient secretaries, are working hard, and
the voluminous correspondence from all
parts of the State is rapidly disposed of.
Mr. Edward F. Davis, the efficient clerk
during the past campaigns, is again at his
post, winning golden opinions. There is
but one sentiment expressed by all the
gentlemen at headquarters—Pennsylvania
will give 30,000 majoiity —Philadelphia
Press.
GEN. HENRY M. HOYT.
Senator Conkling, of New York, ad
dressed the Republicans of Philadelphia
on Friday night last, and in the course of
his speech he paid the following tribute to
our gallant standard-bearer in this contest
"In the report of a speech delivered some
time ago by a son of Pennsylvania stand these
words: "Professing to be an honest man, the
candidate of an honest organization, I favor
honest money. [Great Applause.] The vol
ume of currency should he regulated by legi
timate demand and not by the requirements of
wild speculators or bankrupts. The currency
should be redeemable, as far as the exigencies
of the country will permit, in the currency
recognized by all civilized nations. The con
tracts of the Government should be held as sa
cred as the contracts of the individual, and the
bonds should be paid according to the under
standing between the Government and the len
der." lie who thus spoke is your Republican
candidate for Governor, and because he thus
spoke I am here to raise my voice, and had
a thousand voices gladly would I raise them
all to aid in his election,
MR. STENGER, in the stereotyped speech
which he is delivering over this district,
has something to say of the expense that
will be incurred in holding a special elec
tion for Senator in case Mr. Fisher is elect
ed to Congress. This man Stenger has all
of a sudden become very economical. He
should have thought of unnecessary ex-
penses when he voted for the appointment
of the Potter smelling committee, and
when he was rolling over the country iu
special ears, at the people's expense, as a
member of that committee, he should have
thought of the thousands of dollars he was
assisting to.squander in his efforts to make
a little political capital for the Democratic
party. Stenger is a demagogue of the
first water, and we are happy to say that
he has tuizreprgsented this District for the
last time in Cougres.
DANIEL DOUGHERTY, "the silver•
tongued orator," has joined the fish

THE OFFICE OF RECORDER.
liJth of "my organs . ' are sorely troubled
concerning the office of Recorder of Phil
adelphia, an office that has been in exist
ence in that city far more than half a cen
tury, and during forty years of that time
has been filled by awn of their political
filth. The bill passed last winter, and for
the support of which these papers are labor
ing to manufaeture political capital against
Mr. Fisher, only added additional duties to
the office. It is entirely local, being confined
to Philadelphia, and since Col. Quay has
had charge of the office, a little over five
months, he has collected and paid over
$35,300 revenue, derived from saloons and
low groggeries, which could never have
been reached in any other way. The howl
set up against this office comes from men
who should know better, but thinking that
they CM) cast odium on the Republican
party they will persist in their efforts in
this direction regardless of the truth.
Another fahe charge they make? in re
gard to the ennlummts of the offi.:e. The
Recorder gets ten per cent. on all collec
tions made, and on the money paid in by
Recorder Quay he received as fees $3,500,
much less than Mr. Speer's Salary Grab.
The Philadelphia North American, in
an article on the Recorder's office, has this
to say :
The office of Recorder of Philadelphia has al
ways been subject to appointment by the Gover
nor of the Commonwealth. As one of the curious
resalts of this, it is especially worthy of remem
brance that during the entire lifetime of the Whig
Party this staunch Whig City never had a Whig
Recorder! The old city always elected Whig May
ors and Councilmen, but always had a Democratic
Recorder. In those days nobody thought this an
outrage. It was fate, and it was submitted to and
accepted as a mysterious dispensation. In the
same way the County Courts never bad a single
Whig Judge on the Bench until the Jndges were
made elective. The whole Bench being thus perma
nently Democratic, the entire Judicial patronage
wont to Democrats, and, as a natural consequence,
the Bar of the City became strongly Democratic.
For a period of forty consecutive years the office
of Recorder of Philadelphia was filled by Demo
cratic incumbents. They had no salary, nu ap
propriation for office expenses, no provisions for
clerks or other dependents. Yet they managed to
make the office so valuable that the control of it
became an object ih local politics. The Recorder
had both civil and criminal jurisdiction, and as
his office was always in Chestnut street, or in the
commercial centre, the business of the Court was
la , ge and lucrative. Ile was not subject to any
supervision whatever. lie did as he chose, and
he was not accountable to any one fur his receipts
and expenditures. But during the whole forty
years of the Democratic possession of the office no
one thought of complaining of this. The Recorder
had a special police of his own, not subject to any
one else, and not paid any salary. Yet they all
managed to make a living. One of the most no
torious of these officers was the famous Ned Mc-
Gowan, who, after getting into hopeless troubles
here about the election frauds in Moyamensing,
which were organized by him, went to California,
and became one of the greatest rascals on the Pa
cific Coast.
There were many dark and devious ways in
which a Democratic Recorder could serve his par
ty. All the criminal elements of the party could
he held in leash by an officer who could only be
removed by legislative impeachment; and thus,
while the Whigs held the old city firmly, the Dem
ocrats most of the time managed to control the
the county. In the changes of time the Republi
can city of Philadelphia has had one Republican
Recorder for a ten years' term, and now has anoth
er. The tenure of the offic! is not changed in the
least. It is precisely the same that it was during
the whole forty years of Democratic sway. The
only difference is that a Republican Governor has
appointed a Republican Recorder. The changes
in the character of the office convert what was a
mere private policy shop into an important de
partment of the civil service. The Recorder was
always a ma;istrate, and en he remains ; but now
his duties aro, fur the first time, really useful and
valuable. Now, what are those duties ? All legal
methods of preventing and punishing the sale of
liquor without a license had. failed. The temper
ance societies furnished witnesses, but juries re
fused to convict. The Democratic District Attor
ney finally left the offence unpunished, and when
Recorder Quay commenced operations he found
over 1500 unlicensed liquor shops open. Of these
he has closed 790, and compelled the rest to pay.
The North Americas, opposed the passage of
the bill enlarging the functions of this office ; but
so far the city has only been benefited from its
enactment.
"BLOATED BONDHOLDERS."
The Grecubackers never tire of denoun
cing the "bloated bondholders" and saying
the most naughty things about those who
happen to bold the solemn pledges of the
Government, but while they are thus en•
gaged they forget to remember that the
major part of the bonds are held by the
widows and orphans of those who sought
a safe investment of their funds for the
benefit of their families. The following
which we clip from the Hartford Times,
is similar to many cases to be found in al
most every community :
In our town are two bright children, one 2
and the other 4 years
. old. Their mother died
two years ago ; their father, who was a labor
er, died recently, He left to them two thous
and dollars in government bonds and eight
hundred dollars in other personal property.
Now, Messrs. Editors, ought not those little
bloated bondholders to be taken in hand by
Congress, interest on their bonds stopped, anti
the little "lecherous" bloodsuckers put down
as dangerous enemies to all industrious men?
• OUR fellow-citizen, lion. John M.
Bailey, if we are to.;udge by his utterances,
is a firm believer in "fiat" money, and a
Greenbacker in whom there is no guile.—
He is in favor of any kind of money,
whether made of "paper or leather or any
thing which the Government might
authorize." To show the absurdity of
such a system of finance we cannot do bet
ter than publish the proposition of the
New York World to utilize the "Yaller
Dog," by printing on his slab sides : "This
is a 836,009 Duchess cow." or, "This is a
prize short- bull " By doing this, it
says, the addition to the national wealth
would be stupendous, and as the animals
could not be exported, they would, to quote
the greenbackers, be the source and basis
of values at home. It will thus be seen
that yellow dogs have their value, and if a
piece of paper, with the legend, "This is
a dollar," is a dollar, a dig marked, "This
is a $36,000 Duchess cow," would be the
dentical av,imPe.
AND now the Huntingdon (irecnbaa
.Nittionaliil is displeased with the honest
money views of the Tribune, which it de
nominates 'the twaddle of bar-room
loungers." The exposura of the dishonesty
which is wrapped up in the greenback
questiou, we kn9w, galls the average Na
tional nearly to death, ang,i we are not sur
prised that our Huntingdon contemporary
is worried over it. As to the character of
the language chosen by the Tribitifr, we
arc glad to say that it does not bear any
resetnklane,t, Kegrneyism and low
personalism offhp 4409g4( i n

REPUBLICANS of PENNSYLVANIA.
You have wade a good fight and al
though the election is still two weeks off,
your efforts are certain to he crowned with
success. The Democratic leaders in con
ference assembled have admitted that there
is no hope fbr the success of their State
ticket. Unpromising as their prospect is,
like desperate men they will struggle to
the end, hoping to pick up a few places
that may be overlooked in our grand Re
publican victory. To this end the mag
nates in the Democratic party have chang
ed their tactics and, abandoning their State
ticket to its assured fate, will make their
fight in the Congressional and Legislative
districts. In the forlorn hope of captur
ing the Legislature, orders have gone forth
to the Democratic speakers, that they must
change their themes, and speak entirely
in denunciation of Senator Cawerou. This
policy of personal defamation and vile tra
ducement was inaugurated at Lancaster on
Friday night by Daniel Dougherty ; and
during this week the lesser oratorical lights
will follow heaping their weed of slander and
vituperation on our Republican United
States Senator. No better evidence than
this can be presented that the Democrats
are fighting without hope and in dread of
an overwhelming defeat. They have gone
to the Nationals and on their knees begged
fur help to save them from ignominious
surrender. But the help was refused, and
now they are left to struggle 'on, fighting
without hope and bartering away their
principles and their men in expectation of
picking up a few legislative districts. The
Democratic party's debasement was never
so low and its defeat never so well de
served. On, Republicans, on ! Your vic
tory is assured, and your work for the rest
of the campaign will add to the magnificent
proportions of your triumph. —Hu rrisbttry
Telegraph.
IT must not be forgotten, that W. S.
Stenger, the great "Persuader," is a mem
bar of the Potter smelling committee, whose
purpose is to manufacture sufficient evi
dence, from the lips of scoundrels and per
jurers, to give the Democrats an excuse,to
attempt to oust Gen. Hayes from the
Presidency. Stenger is a sweet scented
dog to be traveling about howling "re
form," and attacking the characters of
better men than ever he was.
Our, townsman, J. Simpson Africa, is
distributing a very truthful picture of him
self broad-cast over the country, and the
Monitor, to be consistent, will have to
say this week that it is "vanity" on the
part of Mr. Africa to do S 3. We noticed
one of them "hanging in a barber shop."
We want to hear from the Monitor.
THE Mud-Slinger of last week, in speak
ing of Mr. Fisher, says that "there will
be oceans of evidence to convict this man
under the new Constitution before the
election." There may be some convictions,
under the old Constitution, after the elec
tion.
HON. JOIIN W. FORNEY has arrived at
home from his extended sojourn on the
other side of the water.
THE Mud. Slinger don't want the people
in the Oil Regions to vote for Fisher.
An Open Card to Rev(?) M. P. Doyle.
SIR :—Tn an address made by you, in the
Court House, Sept. oth, 1878, according to the
report taken down from your lips, at the time,
as certified by Sir. Robt. McDivitt, steno
grapher, among many other false and foolish
things said by you, there occur these words :
"Now, another illustration for the benefit of any
farmer that is hers. Two men had $15,000 each
and went into business ten years ago. One in
vested his $15,000 in a farm and in these ten
years, according to the statistics, he gained about
2i per cent on his $15,000, which of course a good
farmer would put in improvements on his farm to
increase its value, but in the ten years the faros
fell one-third and now is worth $lO,OOO.
The other man put his $15,000 into bank at
compound interest, drawing 18 per cent, and in
the ten years he is worth $193,481,75, which en
ables the man who put his money in the banking
business to buy nineteen farms and have some
money left. That is the difference between the
man who put his money into a productive industry
for the working man, and ono who invests in the
interest-bearing process."
Now,
there never was a case such as you
here relate ; and your averment of the interest
is untrue, even at the outrageous rate which

I challenge you to show by the rules of any

I challenge you to prove that the ratio of

Now you either knew, or did not know, that
what ypu said was false.
If you knowingly said what you knew to be
false, or what you did not know to be tree,
yon are unfit for the office of a law-maker.
If you are trying to deceive the "farmer" by
an illustration that never had a foundati•n in
fact, you are equally unfit for the office.
If you cannot count interest better than the
above sample indicates you are still more un
fit for the position.

Extra Liability to Malarial Infection.
Perslns whose blood is thin, digestion weak
and liver sluggish, are extra-liable to the
attacks of malarial disease. The most trifling
exposure, may, under such conditions, infect
a system which, if healthy, would resist the
miasmatic taint. The only way to secure
immunity from malaria in localities where it
is prevalent, is to tone and regulate the system
ip4 pro ying weakened digestion, enriching
the blood, and giving 4 wl4olesorue impetus to
biliary secretion. Thes'e results' are accerap
fished by nothing so effectively as Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which long experience has
proved to be the most reliable safeguard
against fever and agile and kindred disorders,
as well as the best remedy for them. The
Bitters are, moreover, an excellent invigorant
of the organs of urination, and an active
depurent, eliminating from the blood those
