Something of Mr. Stenger's Record
Mr. Stenger opened his canvass in Hunting
don county on the 14th inst. We are told
that "after rendering an account of his own
stewardship in Congress, he went into a scath
ing review of the legislative record of his op
pouent," and "in this way Mr. Stenger intends
to pursue his opponent throughout his dis
trict." That is right : Mr. Fisher's record will
• bear scrutiny in comparison with Mr. Steng
er's any day. He has done nothing to be asha
med of, or that the party cannot endorse. The
recorder bill, so obnoxious to Mr. Stenger and
the keepers of the Philadelphia dram shops,
has already proven beneficial instead of ob
noxious. Mr. Quay was appointed Recorder
on May 5, of this present year, and the total
amount of the fees of his office from that date
until October 8, over six months, was precise
ly $5,580.85, out of which all salaries and ex
penses have been paid. In a year, therefore,
the expense to the city would amount to a lit
tle more than eleven, instead of sixty thous
, and dollars. For this expenditure very ma
terial advantages are gained : taxes that pre
viously were uncollected are now collected
and turned into the Treasury, and, instead of
increasing taxation, as charged, the practical
working of the act is to decrease it by com
pelting those who before defrauded the reve
nue to pay their license. Sir. Quay has in
this direction caused suits to be brought
against the proprietors of 1502 houses in which
liquor was sold without license; of these 706
paid the tax and 796 were permanently closed.
In these suits there was collected for the Com
monwealth $35,300, and for the city $882,50,
which was paid into the city treasury.
But what of Mr. Stenger's record ! He has
proven himself a Democrat of the strongest
possible proclivities. In the trying time of '76
during the Presidential count, he voted with
the "Filibusters" to delay the count until af
ter the 4th of March, and thus create revolu•
tion. lie voted agaiust the decision of the
Electoral Commission in the cases of Florida,
Louisiana and South Carolina. He voted for
the admission of the notorious Cronin as an
elector from Oregon. But this is not all : Mr.
Stenger sought to give one of the electoral
votes of Pennsylvania to Tilden. The point
of objection was 'that Daniel J. Morrell, was,
at the time, a Ciptennial Commissioner, and
was, therefore, t eligible ; that the electors
chose Henry A. Boggs to act in the place of
Mr. Morrell." In the Senate, Mr. Cameron, of
this State, moved that the vote of Henry A.
Boggs be counted, which was agreed to with
out division. In the Honse, Mr. Stenger of
fered a substitute "that the vote of Henry A.
Boggs as an elector for the State of Pennsyl
vania, should not be counted."
Republicans who voted for Mr. Stenger's re
election in 1876, can see the sense of gratitude
with which Mr. Stenger respected their sup
port, when he thus defiantly tried to annul the
expression of the voters of his State.
True to the teachings of the Democracy, and
in accordance with the example of his whole
public career since the rebellion of '6l-'64, Mr.
Stenger has never been able to appreciate the
necessity of a standing army, and in the leg
islation proposing a reduction of the army to
20,000 men we find his name in the affirma
tive.
Mr. Stenger voted for the Potter resolution,
and has since served as one of its most active
and earnest members. We all know the mon
strous conspiracy intended in the success of
that investigation. The author of the resolu
tion confessed that it meant revolution and
the setting aside of the solemn decision of the
Electoral Commission. Standing by with fold
ed arms, Mr. Stenger would see our institu
tions .Mexicanized ; business depressed ; indus
try paralyzed, and labor unemployed. What
mattered it to his intelligent constituency, as
long as he was serving and sustaining the in
iquities of his party in Congress ?
therefore insist that Mr. Stenger in no
serge reflected the sentiments of his constitu
ents,
and that his Congressional record has
be•eu a studied wrong and misrepresentation
of them.
During his first term Le made himself ob
noxious to the entire Pennsylvania delegation
because of his speech and opposition to the
Centennial appropriation. No one felt the
great mistake be made in taking that stand
more than lie. Pledged to prosecute and se
cure the payment of the border claims, he did
not dare, on account of his nupopularity, even
to introduce the bill, but entrusted it to a
colleague.
We repeat that we are not afraid of Mr.
Fisher's record when compared with that of
Mr. Stenger's. Vote for Mr. Fisher and you
will have the consciousness of supporting a
gentleman who will in every respect represent
the material interests of the 18th Congressional
District ; but if you prefer a continuance of
misrepresentation, vote fur Mr. Stenger.—
Public Opinion.
"We believe that Andrew 11. Dill should be
chosen the next Governor of Pennsylvania."—
Philadelphia Times.
It was scarcely necessary for the Times to
make this abrupt acknowledgment even to
convince the Democrats that it intends to live
up to the bargain whereby Curtin was nomi
nated for Congress in exchange for its support
of Dill. While all the Times' readers will re
gard its unequivocal indorsement of the Dem
ocratic candidate as neither novel nor start
ling, they may be surprised at the frankness
with which the acknowledgment is made.—
And since the Times believes 4 kAndrew H. Dill
should be chosen the next Governor of Penn
sylvania," sonic people would like to ask it
why ? . _ _
1s it because lie worked and voted for the
nine million steal ?
Is it because he supported the Millbrd and
Matatnoras railroad job, a scheme to rob the
treasury of $990,000, and spoke of tlackniailer
Bill Oimmick, the beneficiary of the steal, as
a (';zentlernan I always respected ?"
Is it because he spoke and voted for the
Muncy Creek railroad bill, a law which enabled
that corporation to cheat its creditors of their
money and its employees of their wages ?
.
Is it because he did such efficient wvive in
passing the bill to incorporate the - Laurel Run
improvement company, whereby the Philadel
phia and Reading railroad company has suc
ceeded in bankrupting individual coal opera
tors and destroying the property of its stock
holders through its ventures in coal wining,
Is it because he voted for the act to allow
corporations to subscribe for the stock, and
guarantee the obligations of other corpora
tions, thereby empowering the large corpora
tions to crush out the. smaller ones, and thus
abolish competition
. . .
Is it because he voted for the bill to incor
porate the Pennsylvania company?
Is it because be voted for the South Im
provement company's incorporation?
Is it because be voted az,ainst a bill to pia..
tect the lives of miners in bituminious coal
mines?
Is it because he voted against a bill au
thorizing the Attorney General to commence
proceedings against corporations that have
violated the law, on proper complaint being
made?
Is it because be voted against a resolution
instructing the Senate railroad committee to
prepare a hill fixing the maximum rates of
fare and freight to be charged by the railroads?
Is it, finally, because he was r 1 most per
sistent friend and attorney of corporations at
all times and under all circumstances, and
never cast a vote while in the Legislature
against corporate interests nor one of which
the railroad and other corporations could com
plain, always excepting the last session when
he was in training for the Democratic nomi
nation by permission of the corporations ?
These are some of the reasons why the peo
ple believe Andrew 11. Dill should not be
chosen the next Governor of Pennsylvania.—
They may at the same time be very potent
reasons to the Times why he should be chosen
the nest Governor, since that journal is con
ducted, controlled and subsidized by the same
corporations who bad the disposal of Andrew
11. Dill's vote while a member of the Legisla
ture. A fellow feeling and a common paternity
make the Times wondrcua kind.—Harrisburg

The Greenback Baby.
We have read and heard much about the
"Rag Baby," but up to this time there has been
nothing said about the Greenback baby. Some
believe these two are twin brothers, but really
they are in no way connected. The Rag baby
can boast of honorable extraction or parentage,
while the Greenback baby is illegitimate.—
Pendleton, of Ohio, is said to be its reputed
father. It was conceived in sin aed brought
forth in iniquity, and honest men everywhere
have prayed for its death ever since its birth.
All the dishonest men of our country, who
are opposed to paying the honest debts of our
Government, are exceedingly anxious that it
may live. They have traveled far and near to
see it; they have rocked it, dandled and nursed
it, and many of them have worshipped it, and,
if at any time it showed symptoms of disease,
they dosed it with all the cordials and panaceas
known to the medical profession. And while
its friends though. it rather a healthy child,
honest men could see that consumption's
worm was greedily gnawing its vitals up. Its
breath smells awfully, so that honest men turn
from it with disgust. Oue remarkable feature
in this child is that it seemed dishonest from
its very birth. The first words that it lisped
were "Repudiation" and "Inflation," and np
to this time these are all the words that it is
able to say.
This remarkable baby seemed as well as
usual on the morning of the Bth of October,
but some one, during the day, recommended
the mother to give it a dose of Poll drops, and
as this was a kind of medicine they had not
been giving it for some time, and perhaps
gave it too large a dose, the child was thrown
into spasms and has been rapidly sinking ever
since, and the best physicians say it cannot
live longer than the sth of November. Its
friends are exceedingly anxious that it may
live. They discover now that a few of "Ben
ton's mint drops," taken in time, would have
saved this remarkable child, but, alas l it is
too late now. Its friends are preparing their
mourning apparel, and the most melancholy
thing connected with the death of this much
loved baby is, that they know it will never be
resurrected. REPUBLICAN.
Facts for the Workingmen.
Prom the Harrisburg Telegraph, Rep.)
When the workingman votes a Republican
ticket he supports the party which is pledged
to maintain the yard stick at its standard, the
pound at Its standard, and the bases of values,
as all were fixed by the framers of the Govern
ment. Just as soon as the workingman is de
prived of these standards of weights and
measures, and the bases of values, he will be
come the prey of every greedy speculator with
whom he is brought in contact. The Repub
lican is the party of the standard yard stick,
the standard measure, and the real intrinsic
value of money. These are facts which must
not be forgotten by every voter. They con
stitute the three great elements of trade on
which the Republican party has been striving
to place this country, while in the meantime
its policy has been to protect labor, home in
dustry, from all unfair foreign competition.--
Every workingman is fully able to comprehend
this argument. Gen. Garfield made it plain
in his speech of October 14th, so ttrat here
after the Republican party is entitled to the
credit of being the companion of the yard
stick, and pound weight, the bases of intrinsic
value on which to issue money, and the pro
tection of labor, as the means of promoting
domestic prosperity.
Magnifying their Own Sins.
Let Democratic journals and orators bowl
over the debts and taxes their war has brought.
They but magnify their own sins. Will any
responsible member of the Democratic party
dare to deny that every dollar of debt is a
Democratic legacy? Every tax is a Democrat
ic gift. Generation after generation will carry
the Democratiz, burden from birth to death.
But for the Democratic party our people would
hardly have known the nature of taxation.
But for the Democratic party the hundreds of
thousands of young men whose bones are
strewn over the South would now be produc
tive laborers and the support and comfort of
families now desolate.
Republican Greenback Record.
The proper place for every Greenback man
is in the Republican party. It created the
greenback, and has maintained and defended
it against the attack of Rebels, Repudiation
ists and Democrats Under the wise and fos
tering policy of the Republican party,the green
back has appreciated to within a fraction of
parity with gold, and it is the intention of the
party to mike it fully equal to gold and keep
it there. The Democratic party has always
fought greenbacks, and would degrade them
now if they had the power.
EtaitTENN years ago it was the Copperhead
Democracy who elicited the loathing of all
loyal men, and tor s quarter of a century to
come it svill be the "Cipher Democracy," who
will excite the contempt and aversion of all
fair-dealing men. There never was a party
that bad an existence which gave them a con
trol of the Government, that earned be many
approbrious epithets as t,:e Democracy, bar
ing in turns been nullifiers, repudiationists,
ballot-box staffers and hucksters for votes in
the E'ectoral College fur President. Into what
other extreme this is to run there is no rule by
which we can accurately learn.
HON. ANDY lbu. the Democratic nominee for
Governor, was nominated by his patty because
his record as a civilian would give satisfaction
to the ultra copperhead school, and his ten
days service would appease the mere loyal
part of the organization. He was also nomi
nated to give satisfaction to the ring cliques,
and corporations, whose admitted tool he was
during his long term at Harrisburg. If tbe
people rightfully understand tbe contest, there
will he no show for the "Little Corporal."—
