from our list the names of quite a number

propose to collect the amount due us from
them, if we can The pruning process will
be continued until our list is clear of those
who think it newspaper man can live on
the wind.

bill provides a fine of $2O for any person
detected in decoying people out of the

and imprison any person who shall attempt
to leave the State or seek to induce others
to do so. All this in America, "the land

Company confessed judgment on the part
of that company in favor of the Baltimore

When the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
took possession of the Connellsville road
several years ago, the former guaranteed
the latter's bonds in a large amount. The
mfek, , ion is made to settle the transaction.
THAT FUSION VICTORY.
The Monitor still in••ists that the result
of the borough election was a victory and
the result of the fusion of the Greenback
ers and Democrats. Well now if it was
such a tremendous victory, and the result
of "Fusion," why did not you make a clean
thing of it and elect the entire fusion (?)
ticket. Why ignore all the Greetibaokers
on the borough ticket? Why did you sell
out and trade off Detrow's interest in it
for the sake of electing t.4.peer ? Why not
elect Lower and Lamp as councilmen on
the borough ticket, and why not elect Pat
ton in the first Ward or Fetterhoof in the
third ? This thing of trading off the entire
Greenback portion of the ticket renders
the treachery rather too transparent. You
should have covered up your tracks better
by at least giving the Greenbackers a show
on the ticket, and the chances for gulling
them would have been much better in the
future.
Editor.
The fact is, taking the vote for judge of
election in each ward, as a fair basis for
calculation, the Republicans appear to have
a clear.thajority over every combination
in the borough, and the result is just as
we said last week, attributable to the
treachery and foolery of the Republicans in
the first and second Wards, so that we have
no reflections upon any outside of our
party, and are all the time, as we said be
fore, willing to allow them to jubilate as
much as they please, except that we have
what may be to them a disagreeable habit
of comparing figures, and asking questions,
which are sometimes a little embarrassing
to our friends cf the other party. A
'fusion" victory might, according to the
figures, be better expressed by stating what
is the truth, that it was a victory achieved
by the Democrats after first outgeneraling
and then gobbling the Greenbackers, and
to crown the treachery, trading off every
one of their men for the purpose of elect
ing Democrats.
A DAMAGING RECORD.
Some over-zealous friend, in attempting
to clear up the political record of Senator
Bayard, of Delaware, has unearthed, from
the musty files of the past, a document in
the shape of an address delivered b• him
at Dover, June 27th, 1861, which knocks
the Senator's Presidential aspirations high
er than a kite. The speech of the Honor
able Senator, on that occasion, is brimfull
of secession, boiling over with treason, and
breathes out threatenings and slaughter
against the Administration and the Gov
ernment. In the course of his remarks
he denounces the freemen of the North as
"an ignorant mob," and the Northern
press as being conducted by "a host of
fanatical and cowardly editors," and with
all his ability advocates the acknowledge
went of the independence of the Confed
erate States.
These words, it will be remembered, were
uttered at a time when the Government
was locked in a death-struggle with trea
son and rebellion, and the offense, in the
eyes of the loyal North, is of so grave a
character that it can never be overlooked
or condoned by any subsequent integrity
of character, brilliant statesmanship or de
votion to the Union, and the Delaware
statesman may as well be considered off the
track of Presidential aspirants, for just as
surely as a loyal people repudiated Horace
Greeley on his "peaceable secession" idea,
just so surely would they place the seal of
their condemnation on such language as
this. No political party would be so fool
hardy as to go into the coming Presides
tial contest under a leader with such a
record.
TAKES THE BAIT.
Some one, purporting to be a Green
backer,
in the Monitor of last week, appears 1 ,
to be anxious to assist that paper in its ex
ultation over the victory (?) achieved at
the late borough election through the fu
sion of the two parties The writer may
be a Greenbacker, but we are strongly of
the opinion that we could put our hand on
the author, and that he never voted any
thing but a Demociatic ticket in his life .
This is merely thrown out as a kind of a
stiffener, but we rather think from what
we gather from the rank and file of the
Greenback party that they entertain no
such sentiment, and are not willing to be
gobbled again in any such way, especially
when it is manifest that they were only
made use of to secure the success of the
Democratic ticket., and were entirely ig
nored in the distribution of the borough
offices. These kind of victories are rather
severe on the Greenbackers, but so long
as they are willing to submit to it we have
no objection. The Democrats are always
ready to "fuse" with them, but will use
them for their own purposes, and'then af
terwards p them on the back and say
"didn't we do it ?"
SMASH THE RING.—The type founders
in this country, it seems, have banded to
gather and now the price of type and all
kinds of printing materials are up to such
a figure that it almost costs a small fortune
to buy an outfit for a newspaper. We see
but one way to smash this "type ring,"
and that is for Congress to pass a bill at
once taking the duty off of imported type.
We see no good reason why the press of
this country should be compelled to pay
such outrageous prices, unless it is that the
nine American type founders may become
millionaires at the Expense of the news
paper and book publishers. It is a tax on
knowledge, and the sooner this combina
tion is sat down upon the better it will be
for the whole country. And when Con
gress is dealing with the duty on type, it
should give the paper makers a little at.
tendon. This "paper ring" is equally as
bad as the "type ring."
THE leaders of the Greenback party in
this State, the men who sell out to the high
•,=t bidder, assembled at Harrisburg, a few
days ago, and concluded to hold a State
Convention on the 23d of the present
month, for the purpose of nominating a
State ticket and the selection of a straight
cut electoral ticket. As the party has
dwindled down to a mere nothing, we don't
believe the managers will get a bid, and
tbey will have done all this labor for noth
ing.

When we reflect that tho actioa of a
few Democratic Congressmen in the matter
of a contested seat in the House of Rep
tesentatives may override the decision of
thousands of voters; that anybody can man
ufacture charges of "intimidation" and un
due influence" sufficiently specious to give
a determined majority a pretext for settin i 4
aside a free and fair election ; and that one
unprincipled man, thrust into a seat which
does not belong to him, may decide the
destinies of the United States of America—
when we reflect upon these things we shall
see what a dangerous course the Demo
cratic party is pursuing.—Ntlr York Tri •

Democratic Statement from a Demo-
crat.
MR. EDITOR :—I do not own a newspa
per, nor do I ortn an editor, hence I am
under the necessity of asking you to give
,nie space in your paper to ri-ply to a base
and an untruthful attack made on me by
the "Ring Master" in last week's issue of
his back•pay organ. Speer owns this
paper, and it only represents the mercenary
and unscrupulous interests of its owner.
It has long since been discarded as an
organ of the Democracy.
It seems I have committed die unpar
donable sin of daring to vote for School
Directors at the late election against this
great Mogul, who, in his own estimation,
is "little lower than the angels." As a
citizen of the town, and interested in the
education of my son, I presumed I had the
right to vote for the two gentlemen for
School Directors whom I supposed best
qualified. A fusion ticket of Greenback
ers and Democrats bad been nominated by
special exertions of Speer, for the purpose
of electing himself School Director. On
the opposite ticket two man were candi
dates, both of whom, in my estimation,
would make better School Directors than
Speer and his fusion colleague, and I voted
for them. In his article attacking me he
admits that the contest was not a political
one, and yet because I did this I am de
nounced by the Shoddy Ring ;Vaster, and
nothing is said about the eighty Democrat
is voters in this town who refused to vote
for him, and whom he way need if he is
again a candidate for office. When a
candidate himself, he was never true to
any candidate on the ticket with him. He
would sell oilt any one to make votes for
himself. The result of the late election
in this town shows it. In the fall cam
paign of 1872, when he was a candidate
for Congress and I was on the ticket for
Prothonotary, he received from the Chair-
I manof the Democratic State Central Com
mittee money that should have gone into
the hands of the Chairman of our County
Committee, to be used for the whole Demo
cratic ticket, and in that campaign he
traveled over the county dispensing that
money, saying to the persons who received
it, -Now mind, this is my money, and re
member that the election of a Congressman
can be of more use to you than the whole
county ticket." This was the money of
the whole party, and should have been
used for the whole ticket. Yet, through
out that campaign he traded off myself
and my fellows on the ticket whenever he
could make a vote for himself; and but for
his sneaking, cowardly and unprincipled
conduct, I would have been re elected
Prothonotary. It'he cannot rule the party
he will ruin it. Ile is incapable of doing
a disinterested act, and no matter how
loutl his professions of friendship may be,
he has never yet scrupled to go back on
them when the slightest advantage would
accrue to himself by so doing. He is
insincerity and selfishness personified.
His professions and promises are like
words written in the sand. That this is
his true character those who were school
boys with him and have observed his con
duct for years, I call as witnesses Should
any one desire to practically test. the
truthfulness of these statements, take him
at his word and give him an opportunity
to betray them, and they will only regret
it but once
In his editorial, in his usual bombastic
way, he says he was elected by a ."flatter
ing majority," although "he did not ask a
Iran to vote for hint." Had the Republi
cans who were deceived by his promises
and debased by the money he usei, voted
for Messrs. Lovell and Paul, he would
have been defeated by over 300 majority
The time was when in apolitical campaign
when party lines were tightly drawn, he
carried this borough by 210 majority, but
now he has become so unpopular that
when running for an office in which no
politics were involved, with the influential
Republicans making no effort against him.
and the purchasable Republicans assisting
him, and after a desperate effort on his
part which has no parallel in spring elec
tions, Mr. Lovell leads him by 19 votes,
and he has the meagre majority of 90 votes
over Mr. Paul, and this he cads a victory.
He can truly say, 'One more such victory
and I am undone."
Let us now see how much truth there is
in his statement, that he did not ask a man
to vote fur him. His self conceit has again
led him to overstep the bounds of truth. If
his statement is true, why did he send for
voters in every ward to call at his office ?
Why was he in consultation night after
night with his henchmen in his office
For what purpose were 1: tiers enclusing
his lusters sent to nearly every voter iu
the. town ? Why did he and his supporters
make a deiperate effort to have his col
league stricken from the ticket and have
votes cast for him alone ? Why did Re
publicans who were for him, deceive con
fiding voters by imposing upon them tick
ets with Speer's pasters 00, when they
supposed they were voting for MesgrF.
Lovell and Paul? Why so much money
spent for his election ? For what purpose
did certain of his friends in the bar rooms
of this town, the night before the election,
wave money ah)ve their hi.ads and say,
"This is Speer's money, genttemen, coin
awl take a drink
Ile says tr.», th t he was elected because
of "valuable ser.• ;res" read-Ted the tax
payers while on tho School Board. This,

Had he or his colleagues in the
Board, sold the bonds, or any of them, at
less than their full value, they would have
been indictable fur misdemeanor in office.
And then he did this without charge
What wonderful magnanimity has such
liberality ever had a par Mel ?
I sometimes wonder that in his speeches
to the school children he does not also seek
that medium fir parading his magnificence,
fur
"Ilia talk is like a stream which runs
With rapid change from rocks to rose
It slips from politics to puns,
It glides from Mohatmnet to Muses;
lloginuing with the laws that kcep
The Wallets in their radiant courses,
And ending with smile precept deep
For skinning eels or shooing horses."
Tills imperious upstart seems to think
that tin Democracy of the county are his
serfs, ti d that because he owns and edits
a newspaper, we must all bow to his sceptre.
Ho will, I imagine, di-cover in the near
future that the Democracy have tired of
his impudent a.ssumptiou of power, and
will in good time seize the opportunity- of
resenting it.
Because I voted, in a contest which he
says was not political, against. him, and fur
the two best men on the ticket for the
position he coveted, I am denounced as a
coward, and this "he believes is the honest
conviction of every unbiased mind." lie
must be speaking ofsome other mind than
his own,
for no man who knows him would
suspect him of having either an "unbiased
mind" or "an honest concictioi." This,
however, he knows to be untrue, for he
well knows that try opposition to him for
School Director was pronounced and open.
Since Speer became the owner of the
Monitor, it has been his invariable habit to
vilify and traduce in the columns of his
paper and elsewhere, all who differed with
him, for the purpose of lashing them into
obedience to his mandates and wishes,
however revolting and outrageous In
this county he has been the Mephisto
pheles of the Democratic party. Until be
was a candidate for office, no one ever
heard of money being used in the county
for the purpose of corrupting voters at the
polls. Since his advent, his methods have
led to distraction and division, and that
continually What he has done here he
has attempted elsewhere. By some strange
piece of misfortune to tile Democratic
party he became the Chairman of the
State Central Committee. Under his
leadership he lead the embattled hosts of
the Democracy to inglorious defeat, and
in a vain attempt to carry the Legislative
districts of the State for himself as a can
didate for U. S. Senator, Dill, our gallant
standard bearer for Governor, and Ross,
our candidate for Judge of the Supreme
Court, were sacrificed to the Moloch of hie
ambition. Later, he appears in the Chair
at the last Democratic State Convention
as Chairman of the State Committee to
organize the Convention. He had ade
sire to be continued as Chairman of the
Committee for another year. A delega
tion from Philadelphia, representing the
honest and best portion of t.be Democratic
party, and known there as the "True De
mocracy," or the "County Democrats,"
headed by such men as Richard Veux,
George M Dallas, Dallas Sanders, David .
W. Sellers, and other names equally illus
trious in the councils of the party, appear
ed on the floor of the Convention and
claimed seats. Another delegation from
Philadelphia, _representing the worst ele
ments of the party, headed by Cassidy,
Barger and others of this class, were there
also, They were Speer men of the same
kidney, and had doubtless agreed to con
time him as Chairman of the Committee,
it their votes could do it. Speer thinks
he sees his chance, whether by right or
wrong, to accomplish his purpose.
He, therefore, puts on the roll of dole
gates under the power vested in him as
Chairman of the State Committee, the
names of all the delegates in the Cassidy
delegation, and excluded from the roll the
whole of the delegates representing the
"True Democracy." They attempted to
get a hearing and to protest against this
deliberate purpose to disfranchise the true
Democratic sentiment of Philadelphia, but
from the chair he arbitrarily ruled them
out and ordered "the band to play," for
the purpose of drowning out their appeals
and protests. When the band had ceased
to play, their complaints of Speer's unfair
and arbitrary ruling were again renewed,
when he declared from the chair that he
was the mouth-piece of a mob, and that he
had no piTwer to correct the grievous wrong
which he, for his own selfish purposes, was
inflicting upon the Democracy of Phila
delphia and the State. The "mouth-piece
of a mob !" Chaste language indeed, with
which to characterize the assembled repre
sentatives of the Democracy of' the grand
old Commonwealth. His arbitrary ruling
excluded the whole of the Faux or "true
Democracy" delegation from seats in the
Convention,
and he started a division in
the party which has not yet been healed.
One newspaper in Philadelphia still calls
him the mouth-piece.
Such is part of the history of this politi
cal nearplot. You will never read it in
the Monitor lie has no love for the
Democratic party, Ile cares only for
himself, and I agree that if' his power Bed
influence could only keep pace with his
grasping disposition, he would be a most
formidable person. Occasionally, a whole
some lesson is taught him, and it ought to
bear its fruits. When by reason of his
back pay" record, he was kicked out of
the Wilkesbarro Convention, it was sup
posed he would thereafter slyly "fruits
meet for repentance," The chastisement,
however, appears to have been lost upon
him, and should the occasion hereafter
demand it, I will endeavor to tear front
him the mask behind which he has long
hidden, and will hold him up to the pub
lic in his naked deformity.
