AENATORIA t>.
By reference to the proceedings of the
Democratic Senatorial Conferees repre
senting this (the 19th) Senatorial Dis
trict, it will he seen that our respected
townsman, Heney K. Pepfeb, was
unanimously nominated for State Sen
ator on Saturday last.
We feei satisfied that Hie Democu.ts
of Cumberland and Franklin will feel
a relief that this long contest is ended,
and that a result has been reached which
gives general satisfaction to both coun
ties. Asonoof the Conferees, we felt
a heavy and exceedingly unpleasant
responsibility resting upon us, and this
feeling was shared by all the members
of the conference. After having hal
, loted more than one hundred times,
and been in session, off and on, for six
long weeks, many of the sessions lasting
beyond midnight, the proposition, of
settlement which brought about a nom
ination, was unanimously agreed upon
by Hie Conference, and heartily endors
ed 1 y the two candidates for Senator,
Me 1 -- s Poffer and Duncan. This mode
of sorclement may strike some as novel,
and xii is true that it has never been re
sorted to in this section of our State, but
yet it is a fair, legitimate and honorable
mode of putting an uua to u atsputo bo-
tween friends, and has been frequently
ado ded in several of our western Coun
ties. The dispute between the Conferees
was not concerning the candidates, but
it was this—“ which county is entitled
to'tl e first nomination in the new dis
trict; which county should have pre-
cedence?” The Cumberland conferees
contended for Cumberland, the Frank
lin conferees for Franklin, During all
the discussions no unkind word was
uttered against either candidate before
us, but both were spoken of with much
tesf ect and kindness.
The mode of settlement having been
agreed upon, the names of fourteen
prominent Democrats residing outside
the Distriot, who had no knowledge of
our difficulty, and whoso names wore
purposely withheld from thecandidatcs,
were selected by tho conferees —seven
by the Franklin men and seven by
the Cumberland men. These fourteen
names were placed in a hat and the hat
well shaken, and then three names
were drawn from tho hat by one of the
conferees who had been blind-folded.
Tbeso names were William M. BresUn,
Esq., and Dr. Gloningor, of Lebanon
and. Major John Brady, of Harrisburg,
''bese three gentlemen wore imme
iately notified of their selection, and
equested to attend a meeting of the
onferees at the Bolton House, Harris
burg, at 1 o’clock, on Saturday. They
-It .complied, and the meeting of the
onferees with the referees present, took
place at tho hour and place named.
Vir. Welsh, on behalf of Franklin, do
it voted a very able address in advocacy
>f the claims of his county. He was fol
lowed and answered by J.B. Bratton,in
behalf of Cumberland. Short speeches
woro also made by Messrs Harasher and
Cormany, of Franklin, and uorgas and
Hostetter, of Cumberland. Tho con
ferees then withdrew and submitted
the question at issue to Ibe unbiased
judgment of the throe rofo rocs who had
so patiently listened to Hie arguments
presented. The referees, after a private
consultation of about three quarters of
an hour, wrote out a report giving it as
their unanimous opinion that Cumbor
kmd’liounty was entitled to the nomi
nation for Senator in the new district.
The long dispute was ended—ended
in an-honorable and magnanimous man
ner. The referees then adjourned, and
the conferees re-asscmblcd. After the
report of the referees had been read, on
motion of Mr. Hamsher, of Franklin,
seconded by Mr. Welsh, of tiio same
county, Henry K. Prefer was de
clared the nominee for Senator by ac
clamation. The Conference then ad
jou led sine <
We have I tins given what weconoeiyo
to ho a succinct account of the proceed
ings of the last two meetings of the
conferees of this Senatorial district. W o
may say in conclusion that notwith
standing the vexatious and protracted
struggle, no unkind word was
at any of the meetings, and the con
ferees from Cumberland will long hold
in pleasant remembrance tb "cntlo
mnnly demeanor of the three . on forces
■who represented Franklin.
Should the Xlopublicans succeed in
electing a majority of members to the
nAct Legislature, they will refuse to
prosecute the thieves who have been
robbing the State Treasury, on the
ground that an exposure would injure
Hie Republican parly. Lot all wbo.de
siro to see’justice meted out to corrupt
officials vote for-Messrs Prefer and
Williams.
Ton BCYATOR, HEART- I£, PEFFER,
OUR TICKET COMPLETE.
Tho unanimous nominntiqn of Henry
K. Poffer, Esq., for Senator, completes
our ticket, anil ns there is no time to be
lost, every man who considers himself
n Democrat and opposed to Radical
plunderers, should go to work at once
and in earnest to secure tho triumph oi
the entire ticket. Tho result of tho
election in Pennsylvania this fall will
have an Important bcar/ng upon tho
great, contest nest year, and this fact of
itself, in the absence of all others, should
induce Democrats to stand shoulder to
shoulder for tho Slide and county tick
ets. -That our ticket is a,good one, from
top to bottom, will not be denied oven
by. fair Republicans. Indeed, the men
composing it are urihnptached and un
-iroPßashnbleJ,!vtlmh--pw
tical characters, and. all are admirably
qualified for tho positions for which
they have been named. All that is
wanting to elect the entire ticket by a
majority of eight or' ten hundred, is
union and harmony, perseverance
and WORK.
Our candidate for State Senator, H.
K. Poffer, is so well known to tho people
of this county, that we feel it almost
unnecessary to say much concerning
him. He is a self made man, was born
and raised in South Middleton town
ship, and has always borne the character
of an honorable and upright Christian
gentleman. Always a Democrat from
principle, he has never failed to dis
charge his whole duty to his party, nor
to express his views without regard to
consequences to himself personally. A
man of well-poised mind, ah able de
bater and hard worker, lie will occupy
a prominent position in the Senate, and
will be a most valuable member of that
body.
That crafty and unprincipled Repub
licans, in and out of this district, will
attempt to corrupt the people with mo
ney, iu the hope of making votes for
Mr. Weakley, the Radical nominee for
Senator, is very certain. We have it
from good authority that a largo amount
of the money stolen by the Radical
embezzeler, Rvans, was reserved as a
corruption fund, and that a considerable
portion of this fund is to be distributed
in this district in the interest of Mr.
Weakley. Of late years the Radicals
rely almost entirely on the power of
money to accomplish their nefarious
purposes. With the wily anti-unprin
cipled Cameron as their leader, they go
into a contest with stolen money in
their hands to buy up the venal and
corrupt. They “stoop to conquer,” and
on the eve of every election they flatter
and cajole and ply with money the
very men they recently denounced as
“copperheads and traitors.”
Democrats! he on your guard. Be up
and doing, and spurn as you would a
scorpion, the corrupt advances of the
men who have forced the people, at the
point of tho bayonet, to submit to negro
equality. Stand fast to your principles
—fight as one man for ■, R whole ticket
—and bn the evening of tho 10th of Oc
tober wo will rejoice together over our
victory.
n. r. JiwKis,
The Harrisburg Patriot , of Friday
last, contains tho following remarks on
tho aspirations of too windy Junkinfor
the Judgeship of this judicial district:
“ Tbo frisky B. F. Junkin, of New
Bloomfield, is traveling all over his judi
cial district, making appeals to,tbe Repub
licans to vote for him on party grounds,
and to the Democrats to vote against
Judge Graham on account of his age.—
Judge Graham is mentally and physically
by far the more robust man of. the two.
That Junuin lias a proper appreciation of
the judicial office,is shown by the Perry
County Democrat in the fact that he waa
a member of the radical State Convention
of 1807 which nominated Mr. Henry W.
Williams and supported tho following
resolution :
Resolved, That warned by such mislor
luaca, jug ask that the Supreme Court of
the State be placed in •harmony with the
political opinions of - a majority of the
people.
Juuklu haa one claim to the confidence
and support of tho liberal men of bis
judicial district, which should not, bo
overlooked. When llso storm of Know
Nothing fury and bigotry swept over the
country, he was the first to avail himself
of it in order to ride into a seat in Con
gress. Tin’s Know Nothing representative
now modestly asks the Democrats and
other liberal citizens of Cumberland,
Perry and Juniata to elect him President
Judge over a man of tho legal ability,
experience and political consistency of
Judge Graham.”
YORK A.VII AIIA.IIS
Tho Democratic conferees of tho York
autt Adams Senatorial District mot at
Planover Junction on Monday last* A
letter of declination was read from Col.
Glatz, the nominee of York county, and
tho conferees at once nominated Hon,
William McSherry, of Adams, for Sen
ator. This nomination closes up the
Democratic column. The calculations
of- the ring that a' split in York and
Adams and in Cumberland and Frank
lin, would give them the control of the
Senate, are utterly destroyed. They
have no prospect elsewhere, and the
Senate may bn regarded as entirely safe,
since the utmost harmony on the nom
inations has been produced in both dis
tricts. This confidence, however, should
cause no relaxation of exertion or in
terest in the canvass. On a full vote
depends the success of the State ticket.
Register '.—Saturday next, the 30th,
is tho last day to register, after which
the books will be closed, and our party
friends whose names have been omitted
will have themselves to blame. See to
it, then, Democrats, that your names
are upon the Registry lists. Every
darkey in tho county who is old enough
and black enough to vote lias his name
registered, while there are many white
men whoso names are not upon the lists.
Will some of the negligent toll us why
it is tii us?.
ttSfDomocrats of Cumberland ! Pre
pare for the second Tuesday of October.
Tho Radical leaders will leave nothing
undone to cary their ticket. Turn out
to a man, and by .voting the whole
Democraticlieket.and nothing but that,
defeat the Radical and negro combi
nation.
A vote for McUandless and Cooper
is a vote to purge two very important
branches of the Stato ( Government of
thieves like Evans and Ids hackers.—
Let us place honest and competent men
in office, and thus bring back our State
Government to the purity and honesty
which were its characteristics in the
good old days of Simon Snyder.
A vote for the Democratic ticket is
a rebuke of tho nepotism that gives
the public patronage to the President’s
family as long as one is lound to be put
ntn office.
IKFbIUUTIn.V WANTED.
“ Does tho Volunteer need any other
information concerning missing funds ?”
~Carlislc Herald.
Yes, while you are at it, you may as
well toil us what became of the $300,000
filched by Qov. Geary’s special agent
Evans, from tho State treasury. Being
Deputy Secretary of theComraonwealth,
you aro doubtless ns familiar with the
management of tho State treasury as
you are with national finances.
I You miglit also give your views as to
(lie exped'oncy of having- n member of
tho Geary administration elected to the
Senate from this district, in >tho event
of an investigation into the Evans swiu
. -die, or an impeachment of the Governor
for complicity with the robbery.
You miglit also explain why Evans
was not arrested when he was within
• lliehiiLiit.i.of Hun Stale of-X’cmisyivailiu,
but was permitted to escape into another
State, and probably out of thefccountry,
before a warrant was issued for his ar
rest. When the Deputy Secretary of
the Commonwealth announced in the
columns of th,e Herald that “ every of
ficer connected with the government
was performing his full duty in the
matter,” was it for the purpose of al
laying public apprehension until the
thief had escaped the clutches of the
law? Was it in the performance of
“ his full duty ” that Governor Geary
demanded the dismissal of Mr. M’Clure,.
the individual who first exposed these
gigantic frauds? It is a satisfaction to
know that Mr.'Weakley is so well pleas
ed with “ the honest determination to
protect the interests of the Common
wealth” manifested by Gov. Geary, and
Auditor General Hartranft, and Treas
urer Mackey, and Attorney General
Brewster;' but we have some doubts
whether the people of this Senatorial
district aro so delighted with this rob
bery; and the subsequent escape of the
thief, that they would bo willing to send
a member of tho same “ ring” to the
Senate, to investigate the very rascali
ty he has so assiduously endeavored to
hush up. If tliere Is any sincerity in
the clamor the Carlisle Herald and oth
er Radical papers raise about the New'
York frauds, and the necessity of a
thorough investigation Into the vil
lainy; andif -the same rule of justice
is to hold in Pennsylvania as in New
York, then Mr. James M. Weakley,
Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth
under Governor Geary, ought to be
beaten by two thousand majority.
IlltINO OUT THE VOTE I
It is universally acknowledged by
intelligent persons in this State, that if
the Democracy can poll a full vote .at
the coming election, the success of the
Democratic candidates is assured; for
there are thousands of honest Republi
cans who are determined not to be the
slaves of tho corrupt Grant-Cameron
ring, that small but firmly united clique
of schemers whose only incentive to
action is the hope of plunder. Since
18G0 the Radicals have had all the as
sistance that could be afforded by the
influence and patronage of both the
State and the Federal Governments, yet
they have continually lost ground, and
to-day the two parties in Pennsylvania
are so evenly balanced that the Repub
lican leaders fear the result, and are
mustering their well organized forces
for a ipighty effort at the polls. They
imagined that the city of Philadelphia
was secured'by the passage of their in
famous election law, but such is tho
popularity of Gen. McCandless and the
well known citizens nominated for city
offices, that they dread a rout even in
their own chosen stronghold, and to lose
Philadelphia is to lose the State, under
prdinary circumstances.
Tlie signs are cheering for a complete
Democratic victory. Whether we win
or not will depend upon the Democrats
themselves. If they all work and vote,
and induce others to do the same, Penn
sylvania will he redeemed from' the
oppressive and expensive rule of the
Radical Cameron clique, and the elec
tion of the Democratic candidate for tho
Presidency in 1872 will be certain.—,
Pennsylvania is really Democratici-her
past record proves it. Let the Democ
racy poll a full vote and tho victory will
ho ours .' Up, Democrats, and he doing!
Let us all use our best efforts to give a
heavy majority forMcCandleas, Cooper,
and tho whole Democratic ticket, from
top to bottom.
Democrats, Attend to It.— Every
Democrat must be on the look out and
see that on tiie second Tuesday of Octo
ber there is not a single Democratic
vote absent. See that every Democratic
voter is legally assessed. See that no
Democrat fails, through neglect, to get
his naturalization papers. See that no
Democratic vote is lost for want of pay
ment ol taxes. See that no Democratic
voter makes any business or pleasure
engagement which* may take him from
the election polls on Tuesday the 10th
of October, See to all this, and you will
then have done your share in increasing
the glorious majority wo will roll-up oh
that day.
Action! Action 11 Actionl!!—Ac
tion is the motto for the gallant Democ
racy of old Mother Cumberland. It has
secured victory in the past, and it will
give us success in tho future. There
fore, again lot us urge every Democratic
citizen in the county to gird on his ar
mor, stand firm atliispost, and engage
in the conflict with the settled determi-
nation to place the Democratic majority
at 900. Do this, and we will insure a
glorious victory in the State. Men of
action, do your duty I Go to work in
earnest, and work unceasingly from
this time until tho election. Remem
ber, that eternal vigilance is (lie price
of liberty ’.
jJSTWIiy should workingmen support
tho Radical party ? What has that or
ganization done for them save increased
their burdens ? At the present time
one day’s work is taken from eacli la
boring man to pay his taxes, to feed the
Treasury, in order that tho hordes of
Radical office holders may grow rich
upon his toil. Taxes are enormous un

JUDGE GRAHAM.
For President Judge we have Hon.
James H. Graham, than whom there is
no abler, purer, upright jurist in the
Commonwealth. For twenty years he
bus administered the law with justice
and impartiality. His is an unspotted
life, and no judicial act of his long and
faithful term on the Bench is tainted
with a breath of suspicion oi intentional
unfairness. There is no good reason
why bis services should not be retained
for another term. He la still In the vigor
of health, with all his faculties strength
ened instead of being impaired by time
and experience. He will be GX years of
age on the 15th Inst. We regard him as
on extraordinary man. With what un
varying Judgment and precision has he
grasped the spirit-rthe true intent and
meaning of the laws of the land; with
what a steady band has he held the
scales of Justice in determining the
“ rights of persons” and 11 the rights of
things." He is “ the right man in the
right place,” and the people of this Ju
dicial district would do violence to
themselves by rejecting one who has
proved himself to be so aafe a custodian
of the law, It would be a foolish net.—
Hold fast to that which la good. The put
ting of an untried man upon the Bench
is an important and serious matter- It is
unlike any other duty devojvlng upon
the people. A man may be a very good
lawyer and still make a very unsafe and
inefficient President Judge. You want
one not only well versed in the law, but
one who knows himself, firm, stable, and
one who can divest himself of every
manner of prejudice or personal feeling
in the trial of causes brought before him.
Such men are taro. In Judge Graham
you have that man. You cannot iu jus
tice to yourselves dispense with his ser
vices. You cannot fully supply his place.
The Democracy, of York and Adams, hav
ing such a Judge in the person of Hon.
Robert J. Fisher, who has also served
them two terms, have again placed him
in nomination and will, of course, reelect
him. Judge Graham will carry every
county in this district, the twaddle of
piratical papers to the contrary notwith
standing-
jgy-Democrats, ask your Republican
neighbors whether they approve of the
“ big steals” coming to light nearly
everyday, and if they do not, got them
to tell you why they continue to act
with the party whose leaders are rob
bing tho National and State treasuries.
If they are honestly opposed to official
corruption they will join you in the ef
fort now making to stop these Radical
rascalities.

[From the Harrisburg Patriot, Sept. 25. J
ccMnr.nr.ANn and franui.in.
The differences among the Democrats
of the Cumberland and Franklin Sena
torial district have been adjusted by the
nomination of Henry K. Peffer, of Car
lisle. In a spirit of friendly compromise
the question of precedence between the
two counties was referred to William B.
Breailnand 0. D. Gloniuger, of Lebanon,
and John Brady, of Dauphin, who met
in Harrisburg on Saturday and decided
in favor of Cumberland county. Where
upon Mr. Peffer was unanimously nomi
nated for Senator by the conferees. Tills
dispute has been watched with tbe great
est Interest, and the tidings of its settle
ment will be received with gratification
by the Democrats throughout the State,
while tbe hopes of regaluing in the Sen
ate in which the Caraoroh ring has been
indulging for some time, will be consid
erably diminished. Mr. Peffer is a sterl
ing Democrat, and possess the esteem and
confidence of all who know him. He is
entitled to, and will doubtless receive the
entire Democratic,vote of His district.
Anticipating trouble among the Dem
ocrats of this district the Radicals a week
orlwo’ago nominated J. M. Weakley, of
Carlisle, for Senator. Mr. Weakley is ed
itor of the Carlisle Herald, and, at pres
ent, deputy secretary of the Common
wealth. This office Is an easy sinecure,
alfordlngagood salary and unlimited free
dom of the rail roads, and the management
of the newspaper does not seem to inter
fere with the leisure of Its possessor. Mr.
W- isa harmless sort of ayounggentieman
who is incapable of much good, but might
do a deal of barm in the Legislature. His
nomination may be regarded as a tacit
com promise between the Radical factions,
neither of whom entertain much hope of
his election. Coming from the State ad
ministration, and representing the wishes
of Gov. Geary, be would, of course, oppose
with what strength he possesses any in
vestigations of the Evans embezzlement
next session. The history of that affair
has been carefully excluded from the col
umns of the Carlisle Herald, The Cam
eron ring could well afford to assist in the
election of Mr. Weakley, on the other
hand. What they want is control of the
next Legislature, and continued posses
sion of the State treasury. Mr. Weak
ley’s election would contribute as effec
tively to this result as that of any other
Republican member of tbe State. He is
not made of the material to resist the
dictates of a caucus.
On the’whole, then, the election of J.
M. Weakley is desirable to both of the
rival factions of thlfrState, and they will
make a desperale etlurt to elect him. He
would serve Governor Geary in the Evans
business, on the one band, and on the
other would help the treasury ring to
make up their coveted majority. Both
factions will not begrudge all the money
and exertions that may be'needed to
elect him, as both would be benefltted in
different degrees. These considerations
should not be without their effect on the
Democrats ot Franklin arid Cumberland.
The loss of the district would endanger
the State Senate, and might .determine
the political majority in the next Legis
lature. There, is a Democratic majority
of more than a thousand votes in the dis
trict. On Congress last year the majority
was 971 in the two counties, with the en
tire negro vote thrown for the Radicals.
This is the Democratic strength which
Mr, Weakley must overcome- Nothing
but inexcusable negligence on the part of
the Democrats can throw awav the dis
trict.
B®*The reason why the Radical lead
ers are so anxious to elect Dr. Stanton
Auditor General is apparent, when it is
known that through his hands must
pass all the corrupt and swindling bills
like the Evans swindle. If Gen. Mc-
Candless is elected, the Democracy will
place a guard over the State Treasury,
and all the robbing, plundering schemes
will have to pass under his observation
before they are settled. Ho will be in
a position then to head- them off and
choke the leeches. No wonder, then,
that Evans, Cameron and all the other
vampires who live and thrive by gorg
ing themselves with State plunder want
Gen. McCandless defeated. Hiselection
would be the death knell to their raids
on the Treasury. .
Still Swinging Around the Cir
cle. —The watering season and races
having terminated at Long Branch, —
Grant is again on his travels, in oom-
his aid, the veritable Gener
al Porter. At last accounts he was at
Covington, Ohio. Where he will go
next it is not stated, In the mean
time tho Government is in the hands of
clerks; and embezzlements, to enor
mous amounts occur daily. So we go.
Constitutional Convention.—The
question of a Constitutional Convention
will be submitted to the people at this
election. The ticket is to be “Constitu
tional Convention,” and beneath this
must be placed, “For a Convention,” or
“ Against a Convention,” as the voter
desires. This ticket goes upon the tick
et headed or endorsed “State.”
The radical loss in Maine since 18G8,
is over 15,000. At the Info election the
democrats gained a number of members
of the Legislature, and hold the radical
majority down to about 10,000. In 1808
it was 2G,98G. Well done, Maine !
Ip every Democratic vote is polled in
Pennsylvania, this fall, McCandless and
Cooper will be elected by from 25,000 to
30,000 majority. Then let every Demo
crat go to the polls.
The territory of Wyoming is . re
turning to its Demo ratio first love.—
Last year it went astray and chose a
Radical delegate to Congress. This year
tho Democrats have a majority In tho
popular branch of the Legislature. New
Mexico and Colorado have gone Radical
as they have done for years. The Dem
ocrats have not troubled *themseives
about the result of the territories, pre
ferring to fight the battle in tho States.
' Heavy Post office Defalcation
in New York.—Tho New York Sun
of the 13th announces the discovery of
a great “post office fraud" in that city,
in which a man named Norton, a prom
inent officer, is made to figure to the
tune of $150,000, which he is said to
have sunk in the usual way in Wall
street stock gambling. Norton is de
scribed ns being tho owner of valuable
property in Jersey, where he resides.—
Among other things ho has sported a
$lO,OOO race horse. Ho was arrested at
his home ; and his property, including
the horse, seized, but tho Sun adds that
he compounded with the government,
however, and resigned his position.—
A dispatch received from Now York
last night refers to the case, and says
that tho money was drawn from the
treasury ostensibly for the use of the
Post-oflice Department, from time to
time during the last two years, and that
the whole “ defalcation” will reach
$115,000. Tho dispatch adds that ”to
make restitution Norton surrendered
his whole property to tho authorities,
Including a fine estate at Plainfield, N.
J,, several valuable houses and a large
farm. As the value of the real estate
.alone is more that sufficient to cover
the defalcation, no process was issued
against him, and it is not likely he will
bo prosecuted. Another officer in the
post office, named Moon, for 25 years a
clerk, has been arrested and held to
bail in $lO,OOO for purloining money
from letters.
