FLA GRANT 0 UTRA GES.
We look upon tho perpetrators of
frauds upon voter at otir primary
elections, as no bottor than horse
thiovos, Legally thoy may not bu
guilty ol a crimo, but thay uro guilty
of moral outrages thut cannot bo do
funded. Two ot tho meanest of this
kind ot wrongs which liavo been
brought to our notico were coined by
somebody and put in circulation n lew
days previous to tho primary cleotion,
The first and most flagrant was a
small circular purporting to bo issued
in tho interest of Mr. Betts, ono of tho
candidates lor Senator, and signed
"Business men of Cleurfield borough."
Now, if this document was gotten up
aud circulated by a friend of Mr. Betts,
bo is a miserablo lool ; if by an enemy,
be has pcrpctrutod a compound wrong
and deserves to bo punished severely
for uttering a first-class libel. Mr.
Bells, as soon us ho learned of the fuct
that the circular indicated was out, at
once olTered one hundred dollars reicard,
for tho names of tho author and the
printer of the document, but up to the
prosent neither liuvo bceu discovered.
Tho other wus the destruction of thu
regular printed tickets in a number of
district und another substituted omit
ling the names of Dr. Buyer and Mr.
Butts, for Sonutor und substituting
Dr. Bcnnoll's name for Assembly in
place of Mr. Tutu's. A correspondent
train Oscoola gives our readers a dotail
ed statement on this point,
The attempt lo drag into the can
vass tho "business men of Clearfield
borough" and to boldly violate tho
rulos of party is moot damnablo dirty
work, and wo hopo that all who bud a
band in it will bo discovered and held
up to the reproach ot the party and
thoso they havo libelled and wronged.
Mr. Betts who is now east looking
after tho lumber interests of tho firm,
informs us thut ho will fully vindicate
himselffromall blamo on bis return.
THE NEGRO MURDERERS.
Tho outrages committed in South
Carolina, lately, by the carpet-baggers
and the negroes nro truly horrible.
Tho Philadelphia Times, in alluding to
the fruits born of Radical reconstruc
tion, says: "In fixing tho responsibili
ty for disturbance of thopoaco in South
Carolina wo must not lose sight of tho
fact that every department of the Stnto
govornment is in tho hands of tho Ro
publienn party. The Govornor is Re
publican, the Legislature is Republican
and tho militia is composed entirely of
colored Republicans. If pence cunnot
be maintained, the Republicans aro re
sponsible If Govornor Chamberlnin
is not nblo to maintain tho penco ho
may invoko tho aid of tho courts, order
out tho militia, or convene the Legis
lature, in full confidence that either
will do his bidding. But it servos his
purposo bottor to fan tho flames of
strife untjl tliero is a-plausible pretext
for calling upon tho Federal Govern
ment for assUtancc in quenching thom.
Peace is tho last thing these carpet
baggers wont. They live upon disor
der. Tho bloody Bhirt must be dipped
again bcloro it is gory onongh to fire
the Northorn heart. But Chamber
lain and Patterson should have a care.
Murdor and rape may oxclto the white
pooplo of their Stnto to tho desired
pitch ol desperation, but such crimes
are not likely to quicken tho sympathy
of the Northorn pooplo for the perpe
trators, much less will it inspire rospeet
lor a Stato Government which allows
thom to pass unpunished. A few scones
like thoso in Charleston and Augusta
may even dissipate the righteous in
dignation ovor the riot at Hamburg.'
FIRST CLASS HAYES MEN.
The New York Sun, in alluding to
thoso unsolfish mon, Bays : "The Credit
Mobilier patriots, whoso votes Oakos
Ames purchased out and out, are ral
lying to the support of Hayes and
Whoolor with great fervor. They find
thomsolvos porfectly at home. Schuy
ler Colfax has been resurrected and is
on tbo stump. Sonotor Allison, who
pocketed tho dividends but swore he
had no interest In the stock, Is loud in
his advocacy of the ticket. That em
inent Christian Statesman, James A
Garfield, who is ownod by Boss Shop
herd's Ring, shouts fur more Grantism.
Dnwos, who hod ton shares and inter
est, is ardent for tho cause. Logan,
who returnod his stock when discovery
was certain, is on the rampage. Wil
son of Iowa, who took all that ho could
got and kept It isvehomont for Hnycs.
And, as if to completo the roll, ex-Senator
Patterson of Now Hampshire,
implored t lakes Ames lo swear him
through, is advertised to speak in Ohio.
All tho old Rings bnvo suddenly
come to the front, and do not disguise
their leal for "the cause.'' Swept away
by the popular current of 1874, and
oxcludcd from all tolorntion by tho
Democratic Houso of Representatives,
thoy are now making their great rally
and expending tho last dollar to eloct
Hayes. They know bottor than all
oiners vnai 1 miens success moans
death to the Rings. Thoy know, too,
that the influences which now control
the Republican party would govern
Hayes, even more absolutely than thev
do Grant, who, to say the least, is not
always a possivo instrument, Kvery
one of the great Rings is onlisted ac
tively, and tho chiefs outside ol tho
penitentiary havo the best assurance
that their contedorales insido will be
released after tho election, no matlor
how it may go."
The Radical RonncRS. Four years
ago Jny Cooko, Henry Clows and
other bankers and brokors enjoying
tho favors ol the Treasury, issued an
address in which thoy declared that
the re-election ol Grant was necessary
for tbo continuanco of tho financial
prosperity of tho country. Besides is
suing this address they contributed
largo sums of money to carry the elec
tions. One year after that tho finan
cial bubble collapsed. Cooko, Clows
4 Co. havo not considered it worth
whilo to issue an address in favor of
Hayes this year. As financial proph
ots thoy were not suocossos.
The Pittsburg Ditpatrk says "tho
prico of a Sonth Carolina negro who
turns Democrat is a pair ol shoos." Not
so. Tho Inducements for a largo por
tion of the colored population to try
"a change" are the Frcodmen's Bank
swindles, false promise and the bollof
that they have been pulling the chest
nuts out of the fire, lor carpet-bairirera
and political thiovos to gobble m.
about long enough. Phila. Timet.

little too thick. Clearfield ,'s entitled
to the Senator whilo tho other two
counties have the two Judges and tho
Congressman.
More than this, Clearfield expects to
give 1,700 or 1,800 Democratic major

cannot lurnisb the 1,600 alluded to in
the Times, they had better give np the
Scnatorship and ono of tho Judges, or

TIIE TILDEN TIDE.
Governor Tilden's reception at tho
Now York Stnto building on tho Cen
tennial grounds, last Thursday (Now
York's day), was the largest affair of the
kind tho world ovor witnessed. Gov,
Tildon was accompanied by ex-Gov
ernor Bigler, Gon. Joseph R. Iinwley,
and other leading, offioers of the Cen
tennial. After thoso gentlemen enter
cd tho reception room, says tba Phila
delphia Times, there was a sceno en
acted w hich beggars description. That
the wooden State building, substantial
as It is, stands up to-day, with no por
tion of it uninjured, is a crodit to tho
carpontors who built it. Tho front
door is reached by a flight of a dosen
or more stops, and living masses, lifted
by the pressing multitude, rollod off this
on both aides, liko potatoes troni a
heaped half-peck. A number of per
sons faintod from tho smothering and
painful pressure. Standing with Gov.
Tildon in the reception room wore
President llawley, Director General
Goshorn, ex-Govornor Bigler, and oth
er distinguished persons. For three-
quarters of an hour a stream of pcoplo
nowod in at tbo front door and out at
tho eastern gable. Evory one In that
stream can say that he shook hands
with Mr. Tildon.
Be Kast. Tho minion editor of tho
Philadelphia Times seems to bo an
noyed by tho "various political ele
ments of Clearfield county," and says
"thoy aro likoly to unite on a local
ticket and make trouble In Senator
Wallace's Domoc ratio wigwam." Tho
Times man should be voted a leather
medal for his voluntary instructions
and wise sayings. If he just holds his
peace until oloction day is ovor, he will
bo called on to chronicle about 800
more of a Democratic majority in this
"wigwam" for Tildon and llondricks
than was over counted up at any pre
vious time. Whether that will be
favorable news for bis "ragged edgod"
viows, we cannot say ; but it will hap
pen anyhow. The editor had bettor
pay a lilllo more attention to Mayor
Stokely. Ho has bim right lo his
own bailiwick, and !t looks so much
more like sttonding to one's own busi
ness when engaged In adomjstio way.
UNION A ND HA RM ON Y.
The political elements in our county,
as elsewhero, keep rolling up the tide,
so that tba leaders ol our political on
em ie will finally bo overwhelmed and
buried from the view of honest men.
The circular found below uddressed
to our Chairman, Mr. Tost, by the
Juniors and signed by a number ot tho
prominent members, and the address
of Mr. Faust, Chairman of tho Inde
pendents, is pouring oil on the troubled
waters and will go far toward restor
ing amicublo relations in our party
ranks, and we will not bo surprised, if
promises aro faithfully kept on ull
sides, to see the majority for Tildcn
and Hendricks run up to 1,800 in No
vember.
To Israel Test, Esq., Chairman Demo
cratic County Committe :
dear sir: To correct abusos which
we believed had crept into, and wore
corruiitinij our local politics for thu
post two or three years, we havo taken
iiiuepenuoni, anu Bometiiues auvenw
action to the party in whoso political
tenets wo havo been cuuculou. 1 no
result has been tho disruption ol the
Democratic t'arty as a body, una oil
ier recrimination and personal invec
tive amongst its members; and while
as wo bcliuvo it has had the cited of
rectifying much that was objectionable
in the utuiiugemoht of the Im-al poll
tics of our co ntry, yet thu natural re
sult has been to weaken any effort al
efieclivo combination lor ibo National
Ticket. We am still Democrats, and
the success of our party in November
demands that overy member of it
should unito in common cause to over
throw the present corrupt administra
tion, whoso policy has prostrated the
industries ot every section. United
effort, must, and will, insure success.
And we call upon thoso of our friends
throughout tho county who have taken
independent action with us, to rally
under the banner ot Democracy, sun-
port its nominess, and swell tho great
army or "Jtelorm. And if in tho tu
turo any abuses should arise which
need correction, let us present our de
mands, and by united action seek the
remedy within our own party ranks
Wo would therefore respectfully tender
to you as Chairman ot the Domocratio
County Committee our cordial co-op
eration and support in forwarding the
success of our National and County
TlCKOt.

To the Indetiendrnt Democratic Voters of
Clearfield Countu :
I deem it my duty to address you
now in viow of the approaching elec
tion, lurce years ago wo organized
a party ; we met together from sonso
of duty and hnvo acted together since
that tunc Tho cause and motive of
our meeting and the cohesive power of
our organization was lue corruption
that crept into our regular organiza
tion. Our mission was the exposure
and expulsion of this clomont. Tho
result of the recent nominations for
county officers bear testimony how
well wo have done our work. I heartily
recommend Ihe support of our county
ticket to all of tho Independent voters.
It is worthy of your support, wo will
not yield our organization; our duty
remains to gnard and cherish what wo
have gained. Therefore, as an organ
ization 1 commend the Democratic
County Ticket to your support.

D an cir.R in Ohio. H. V. Smalley
Pennsylvania editor of the Tribune,
wno was a "iiidun or linslow" mun
before tbo Cincinnati convention, and
who was sent to Ohio to make speeches
nnd writo reports for Hayes thus
writes to tho Tribune : "I fear, how
ever, thai tho majority will not be
large. It cannot be as small as last
year's meagre 5,000, but it doesn't look
now liko going abovo 10,000. It ought
to roll up into tho thirties or forties.
and will in November when it is a di
roct question betwoon Hayes and Til
don. Thore Is plenty of time botwoen
now and tho Octobor election for the
canvass to assumo a more stirring
phase, but I give the indications as
thoy now appoar. I confess to some
anxiety as to tho course of the Ger
mans. Thoy saved the State for Hayes
in 1875, and, if It be true that thoy
threaten to opposo the Republican
8tate ticket because of Mr. Barnes's
tcmporanco views, thon there is dan
ger ahead."
This man should bo looked after and
should be curbed liko Schura for tell
ing tho truth.
Tobaccoand Banks.-We ofton hear
our bankers complain bocauso of the
heavy burthens imposed on thom by
Undo Sam. The Internal Rovenue
report for 1875 shows that all the rev-
nue paid into the Treasury by banks
and bankers amounts to only 11,070,.
248.12 whilo that realized from Tobac
co alono during the same period
amount to $37, 303,461.88. How are
you, tobacco chowers and smokors,
after supporting the government eight
times bettor than the bankers. Who
is the patriot under such a state of
things f
The News from Maine. Tho Dem
ocrats In tho State of Maine polled
7,340 votes more than they evor cast
before. A similar increase in Pennsyl

44,000 to tho Pomoeratlo column.

would be I'jrown out, l, wim a num
bor of others, bunted up the tickets,
struck off Dr. Dennett's name, and sub
stituted that of Mr. Tale, and in that
way got nineteen vote into the box.
Why was this dirty trick dune, and
who did it f I do not know Dr. Ben
nett; but from what I learn ubout bim
from others, this "job has been put up"
without his consent. 1 um considera
bly unitized over this matter. I feel
as though 1 hail been imported iikui,
deceived, and mado tho instrument ol
iierpelrutiiK' a rouf upon our pnrtv
and somo of my Iwst friends. . will
try and lerrut this tliinic nut and will
send you all the information I can gut.
Do you know who printed thu inclosed
ticket f The next time 1 am cheated
in my ticket, it will be my fault. This
time somo other fellow done it.

Wo printed the regular ticket, and
tho election blanks, and sent 850 lo
Osceola by Dr. Hills, and he delivered
them to Mr. . .That he deliv

have them before us now. What be
came of tho tickets we do not know.
Who printed the ticket you sent, wo
cannot tell. Tbo job was not done In
our office. Mure than this, we learn
from tho friends and neighbors or Dr.
Bennett that he denounces the fimiilu
lent uttempt to muko him a caudiduto,
and when he learned from the election
board in New Washington, that tickets
with his name thereon had been voted,
be ordered thom to striko bis name

ministration, in ordering the Mouthers
Ktatos to be placed under miliurv .i.
J ligation has naturally provoked oeriom
uiKunniuii aim mini in uirougliout i,.
longtb and breadth of the land. It,,
such direct opposition to the uentj.
mont and feeling of the people and u
tho aplrilof our republican iumtilutiona
that It ia not to be wondered thai n,,,
ia lull. True, this same radical ad.
ministration liaa previously ntlcmpij
the same thing, but it was done on tt,
plea of the convulsed condition of cer.
tain portions ol the South which nt.
cutwitaUid a military forco to prevent
more bloodshed. But at present no
such apology can be offered fur mch
interference aa is contemplated. 'J'Le
Southern Stale are in a condition of
profound peaco ; each stato inoving in
ita own orbit with all it adminietrt,
tive machinery unobstructed and no
one of tho governors of these slatei
demanding of the general government
interference with their domestic or lo
cal affuirs. The invitation of the lu
tor has always beou considered enscn
tial before the general government baa
dured to interfere. But all the safe,
guards thrown around the slates to
jirotect them in their rights have bceo
ignored in the order of the Ketrctarr
of War and ho proposes in the tm,
spirit of centraliaaliou to march bit
uriny on in defiance of the State so,
tborilies and overawe the voter through
military surveillance. In other word,
the elections in the Southern stales an
to be carried by the bayonet. Tin
whole action of the administration ii
but a counterpart of that of the em
pire of France under Louis Napoleon,
who forced tho French nation to en
dorse his usurpation by a fMtnfr or
vote, by the usurper stationing Lit
troops at each polling pluco to overs w
and coerce the voter.
We have long since maintained tbit
the leaders of tho Radical party .
crctly contemplated the centralization
of these stales ; they propose, if thoy
are permitted, to carry out tho viewi
of Alexander Hamilton of making it
a strong government, which simplified
mean, wresting from the stale govern
men Is those fundamental rights which
the constitution confers upon thcinand
placing in the hands of a usurping
President power, to be used by bun to
crush out the rights and liberties of
the people. The administration iito
gance which dictates the use of
federal troops on the helpless Southern
states to carry elections, if allowed,
will not long hesitate to adopt the
same means to carry elections in the
North, until it msy become beyond
the peoples control and then cornea
one man power, depotism and a com
plete overturning of our republican
system ol governmont. GovcnimcnU
are seldom changed except through
tho slow process of innovation. Insidi
ous creeps tho serpent of tyranny.
Powor is always driftine awav from
the many to the few. Standing irmics
are always inimical to the growth of
iroeoom. uurs though small is to be
used in that direction. Let the peo
ple ponder, Dotnocrat and Republi
cans alike. '
Anotheh Com monwialih. Another
Stale is talked of. It is proposed that
California shall be cut in two along
the line ot Santa Cruc County, with
fourteen southern counties for a new
Commonwealth, which will have about
150,000 inhabitants, 30,000 voters, and
taxablo property estimated at S 1 00,
000,000. What has become of Ihe Ham-
bun?, South Carolina, 'butchery.' which
so electrified the Radical at the tints
it occurred. Why do not the Radical
Slato,oounty and municipal authorities
investigate the "robol movement," and
let the world know whether the whiles
or the negroes were the instigator.
Let ns have the truth.
