"Our Normnl School Huilding,""llia

will all bo found on our first page.
That's So. "A manly dclivoranco,"
ia what tho Pbiladelj bia Commonwealth
calls Col. Xoycs' letter of acceptance,
Tho letter is a "square timber reflec
tion," and it was rttdo to insinuato
anything else.
"Square Timber" Xoyes. Those
who nro not personally acquainted
with our nominee for Treasurer, can
learn something to their advantage by
reading an article on our fourth page
relating to tbo gentleman in question.
Shipped Home. Ail tho Radical
Clorksfrom Ohio, in the soveral depart
ments at Washington, have been sent
homo to vote on tbo 9th ot October.
After having stumped tbo State him
self, Hayes fears deloat in his own
State.
Tleahed. Tho wondorful omission
in our platform which startled a few
journalists, we are pleased to chronicle,
has boon supplied by Col. Noyos' loiter
of acceptance, and the aforesaid are all
happy now. This is more than we
expected, and makos us fool good, too.
Com plete. At our mast-head will be
found a full band to volo for on the Cth
of Xovombcr next. Our. Stnto and
county ticket is now complete, and let
all go to work and lubor heartily for
tho cause of Nomocracy. Tho namos
of Trunkcy, Schell and Noyos makos
tt tho State ticket. Xo hotter men
woro over offered to fill tboso offices.
Xo Democrat nood hositato about vot
ing for thorn. The gentlemen on onr
county ticket Bloom, Morgan and
McCloskey are just as worthy. They
aro personally well known to many of
our people, and thoir Integrity and
Democracy being above reproach, it
bocomos tho duty of Democrats to vote
tbo whole tiekot, from Trunkoy down
to .McCloskey, without hositation.
TI1F. EASTERN YAR.
Tho latest wo havo from tho sent ot
war in Europe, iB up to Saturday and
Sunday, tho 20th and 30th. Hard
fighting took place around Plevna and
in somo of the passes in tbe Balkan
Mountains on tboso two days. ThtS
Russians and tho Roumanians suffered
heavy losses. Tho Turks have also
gainod several strong positions in tho
Balkans, heretofore held by the Rou
manians and tbo Russians. Tho hints
nt a peace aro discarded by the Turkish
Commander. Ho says the battlefield
must sottle tbo question, and thorn
shall be no pence while a Russian sol
dior remains South of tbo Danube.
Mediation is therefore impossible for
tbo present More men must be
slaughtered to appeaso the wrath of
tho bloody rttlors, who piny as compla
cently with the lives or men as a bil
linrd player with bis balls.
Satisfied. We are highly pleased
that Col. Xoyes' lettor or acceptance is
satisfactory to tho editors of the Sun,
Oommonvealth and InMliqrncrr. Tbo
Colonel having supplied the "strange
oversight" omitted in the platform by
tho Stato Convention, wo hopo tho
editorial trio will now koep quiet nntil
after tho election.
CoKKLiNO.-Tho Radical United H tales
Senator from New Y'ork, who Is aftor
Hayes with a sharp stick, was com
. polled to do one or two things at Iho
. Radical Convention in that State on
Thursday last. He had both Hayes
and fioo. W. Curtis on bands, and ho
made an effort to whip both, and in
' doing so he and bis friends have given
tho Democrats a clean sweep. Conk
ling, like Clay, would rather be right
Iban he President.
A DEFUNCT SENATOR.
Tlio l'hilttilulpliis Times in ulluiling
to tlio coll mo of I'liitotl Sluloa Scimtur
Couklin, of Now Yoi lt.ainooliiaroturn
from Kuropo aaya: "Tliuro'a a tlmo in
tho oQuiin of public men which, wlion
takon at tho flood, leatla thoin to niako
tool of thi'inmlvoo. Conk ling hud ono
maud oiiiiortiniity to nmko liimwll
groat great in respect of the country
awl tho worltl anil rrjjr, in lilalory
hour arrived that was big with his des
tiny. Had ho tuken tbe floor of tho
Senate and mudo the master elfort of
bia lilo against tho fraudulent count of
Louisiana for Hayes, as bo bad onco
decided to do and as was widely ex
pected, when the Senato mot to accept
or reject tho judgment of tho Klocto-
rnl Commission, he would hnvo boon
tho first man of tho Republic ; but bo
was dwarfed by bis tears and fnilod to
appear in the momentous doliboratinns
of tho body whon ho might have avert'
ot a national wrong that baa inflicted
tbo deepest wound on froo institutions.
Such an opportunity comes to but low
and only once in a lifotimo, and Conk-
ling, tbo pigmy of the groat occasion
of bis caroor, sunk out of sight to re
appear as tho giant to lock horns with
what ho tormod tho man-milliner of
politica. Ho was brilliant, pungent,
triumphant, but whom has ho vanquish
ed? Is not (ioorgo William Curtis
greater to day than a woek ago? Conk
ling has made him Conkling'spoer, and
thoro they will stand on equal ground.
The Rochester speech of tho New York
Senator was but tho breaking of tho
storm that muttered in cowardice in
tho Senate when Louisiana was record
ed for Hayes, and tbo attack upon the
administration is but the attempt to
cripplo what bo feared to kill whon it
was a public duty to deliver the death
blow. Conkling, thoroforo, falls a vic
tim of bis own vengeance upon him
self, and there the country will leavo
him. How wisely tho action of tho
younger Cameron contrasts with tho
imperious folly of tho Now Y'ork lead
er. Cameron has loss lovo for tho poli
cy of Hayes than has Conkling, but ho
is wise as the dove. Both bad strong
nnti atlmist ration Conventions, and both
wore supreme in thoir rcspoctive Stntos
Comoron coerced a most reluctant Con.
rontion to give Hayes a qualified in
dorsement, and will bavo poaco with
tbo hope of future success. Conkling
pulled tbo pillars down upon himself,
and Hayes is not of tboso who fell with
them. Such is tho lesson of Rochestor.
Something Wrong. -The public is
aware that "fire-proof" buildings have
boon croctod in Washington for ovory
department of tho Government, at an
onormous expenso. Y'ot, slnco Con
gressional investigating Commlttoes
have become ftubionable, fires aro con
stantly occurring. Tho War Depart
ment has been twico fired, and last
woek an attempt was mado to burn
tbo Tatent Office. Tho Lancaster In-
MUyencer, in alluding to it, says : ''Tho
Buspicious recurrence ot disastrous fires
in tho "fire-proof" government build
ings, stored with important archives,
justifies tbo suspicion that they aro
tbo incendiary work of tboso anxious
to check damaging investigations. But
if the tbioves havo to burn out tbe do-
part men t of tho interior to avoid tho
consequences of a Republican Secre
tary's investigation, what would have
boon tbe result bad an entire Democratic
administration come in? Tbo whole
of tbo government buildings would
probably havo been sacked and the
record of sixteen years villainy de
stroyed."
A Reiiel Outrage. "Tbe story has
been started that a Confederate flag
was displayed at Atlanta during the
President's roccption at that placo. It
may bo a fact, as we all know tbe fool
killor bos not recently given that close
attention to business which tho fool
crop has seemed tocall for. Under those
circumstances it ia remarkable that tbe
administration over livod to reach
Washington. How it got safely around
that Confederate flag ought to bo ox-
plained, for it was a narrow escape. If
thoro aro any more Confodornte flags
at largo in Georgia lot them be caged
at onco. The people of tho Xorth
don't want to be terrorised and kept
awake o' nights by a Confederate flag."
Philadelphia Times.
Home Again. Tbe government cir
cus bos just made tbe home stretch
and has gone into wintor qnartors at
Washington. And Hayes reports
all tho States in tho Union, except
Iowa and Xow York, in which there is
a considerable rebellion raging just
now. Whether troops will bo sent
thoro to quell the rebels, baa not trans
pired. "Tho government," as now con
stituted, is odious to tho rebel portion
of those two onco excossivo loyal
States. But wo suspect that tho Dem
ocratic victorios noxt November will
restore tho rebellious again to their
truo allogienco to tho Union.
Ktiii.tivicatiox.-Goo. W. Curtis,
editor of Harpers, ,otirna of Civiliza
tion (?) was a delegate to tho Radical
Stato Convention, Xow York. Ho !b
ono of these inflated "civil service" ro
formors who novor accomplish anything
only in theory. Ho offered a rcsolu
Hon declaring "the title of Rutherford
H. Hayes to the Presidency aa clear
and perfect aa that of George Washing
ton," which was rejected by a vote or
throe to one. Tbo members of tbe Con
vention refused to stultify themselves
by adopting such a palpable falsehood,
Hayesism. Referring to tho state
ment of General Smith, or the United
States Treasury, that 500 Ohio govern
mcnt cicrxs can do "inducou ' to go
borne and vote the Republican ticket,
the PittbnrguVr( Rep.) says: "We
think that 5,000 wavcrers will bo Induc
ed to vote tbe Democratic ticket there
by this shameless exhibition of the con
tompl civil service leform is bold in by
some persons prominent in tho admin
istration, and tho moat unwise conies
sion or the doubtfulness of the iasito in
Ohio it involvos."
Kmri.ems. We are dipping mottoes,
from Hayes speeches made down South.
Hore is one: "The gallant Confeder
ate were as honest in their belief and
as brave In battle, as were the North
crn soldiors," etc., etc., for nse by any
Republican ptoceasion that may desire
them. They will be printed on tbe
reverse side of the "bloody shirt," so
aa to destroy tho ghostly appearance
of that loyal garment.
SKA RCII Til K It ECO R OS.
Tlio general I'NMikodniMa in tho mini
agoinent of our Stiilo 'i'rvaaury for uHt
yeara ia ua notorious ait Tweod'a bri
bery "tho country talk." Tho Ilur
riahurg 1'iitriat in ulluding to it, nya:
'It haa been chnrjutj that u luro Bum

credited to his predecessor in settle
ment Tho Hon. Charles S. Wolfo, of
Union county, ia quoted as having do
elarod that ISlato Treasurer Ituwlo had
mado tho statement that among those
certificates was 0110 of a defunct bank
orKrie Tor $30,000. A report similar
to the statement accredited to Mr.
Wolfo waa current at the timo Mr.
Ruwlo was installed in office, coupled,
however, with tho additional allegation
that tbo latter refused to accept the
certificate of tho broken batik until ho
was amply secured. Whothor or not
the worthless certificate still remains
in the vaults of tho treasury wo do not
pretend to know. Mr. Huwlo's pub
lished statements of tho condition of'
tho Treasury shed no light upon tho
subjocl. If It is still among tho assets
or the Trousury, and Mr. Rnwlo is
merely secured against tho loss or tho
amount which it ronrcscnts. it will
probably remain thoro alter Ituwlo
shall bavo retired trom office, should
t'apt. Hurt bo elected. Of coiiiko ul
tho expiration ol Mr. Itawlo'a term of
offico tho security ho privately holds
for tho redemption of tho check will
bo released, though dipt. Hart, in caso
of his olootion, might roquiro his pa
tron and frioncl, ex Treasure Mackey,
to secure htm in liko manner. Xow,
whilo there is no presont danger that
tho Stuto will loso tho amount ropro"
sontcd. by tho worthless cortiticuto
spokon of (a recovery upon tbo bonds
of Mr. Mackey nud Mr. Ruwlo respec
tively being assured), thoro is never
theless just this peril, that if tbo pics-
ont innnagoment of tho Treasury bo
continued indefinitely no elfort will
over bo mudo to obtain a settlement.
Should Capt. Hart bo elcclod somo-
body will goon his bond who will rcp
rosont tho worthless certificate, -and
should tho ring succeed in choosing
bis successor two years henco the same
process will bo repcutod, and so on ad
infinitum. Tho election ol Col. Xoyos,
however, would mean a scttlmont with
tho outgoing Treasurer which would
disposo of the matter forever."
Reflect a Little AVorkingmcn,
before they form a distinct party or
ganitation in an endeavor to euro the
evils they complain of, should nsk
thomselves by whom tho country has
been governed for tbo lust twelvo
yearn. A correct answer to this will
bo tho loaders of tho Republican par
ty. If, then, misuovornmcnt is nt tho
bottom ol the suffering and wretched
ness now endured by tho working
classes, tho Republican party is at
fault. And this party asks with lira
ion effrontery for a still longer leaso
or power! And tho workinginun, by
separate political organization, will
help thom to secure it. Let working
men think or this.
Passmohe on the Hunt. Tho nom
inee of tho Radicals for Auditor Gen
eral, has presented bis claims bcloro
tno l.rocnuacK, Labor Union, und
Workingmcn's State Conventions for
adoption, but neither took the bnit be
offered. Still with tho Radical nomi
nation ho cun call,
Tally one aoore
For Paaatnore.
How much better is it that tho offico
seek tbe man, instead ot Ibis case in
which tho man must go about and
seek tbo offico. Whnovcr cun seek
tbe nomination from all parties, nnd
has no stability of party or principles,
should not bo elected to any offico. Ho
is unworthy of it.
A Poset or a Candidate. Tho oil
itor of tbo Xorristown Register is a
neighbor of the Radical candidato lor
Trcasuror, and has known him over
since ho was born, In alluding to him,
ho says :
Wm. n. Pert, the Republican candidate for
citato Treaeurer. la thirty three yeara of age, ail
teen of which be waa engaged In making mud
files, are yeara aa a aperiel pet of Got. Ilartrann
n the army, and twe're yeara a "atatearnan" at
Harrianurg.
And yot tho Herald calls bim a
workingman'e candidato. Papa Xoyes
will show the Herald a trick worth
two of this beforo the campaign is
through.
Certainly in Time, Tho Philntlel
phia Chronicle has nailed a ticket to its
mast-head for 1880:
for president:
GEN. GEORGK B. McCLKLLAX,
op new JERSEY.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT :
GEX. WADE HAMPTOX,
OP SOUTH CAROLINA.
Well, there's nothing liko boing in
timo. The ontorprisoof tho journal in
question ib certainly commendable, and
wo cannot find any fault with tbo
material out or which tbo tickot is
mado.
Booy's Successor. St. Louis, Sep
tember 29. Col. David H. Armstrong,
an old citizen of St. Louis, and tbo
whocl borso of the Democracy ot this
State lor the past twenty-fivo years,
was appointed United States Senntor
this evening by Governor Phelps to
fill the vacancy caused by tbo tlenth
of Lewis V. Bogy. Col. Armstrong
is at present Vice President of tho

A Look Inside. Thoso who do not
exactly understand tho workings or
Radicalism in this Slate, can get a truo
picture by rcuding Mr. llrowster's
speech made in tho Philadelphia Radi
cal Convention, and round on our fourth
page. Brewster is a prominent leader
of bis party, having served as Attor
ney General under Governor Geary,
and knows exactly what he is saying.

detailing many of tbo wrongs entuilcd
upon the people nnd tho country by

proceeded, in bis eloquent manner, to
elucidate tbo true position of tbo gov
ernment and tbo people, und tbo mu
tual relations that cadi should nphold
for tho common wolfuro ol both. Tho
Senator gave tho enemies of froo gov
ernment some awful blows, demonstrat
ing that those in power would never
change their downward policy, and if
tho people wanted tho old timo pros
perity to return, they must remove
tboso from place und position who have
bequeathed us this leirucv of bank
ruptcy which is now sweeping over

John's Reply. Tho Democrats of
tho Twenty second Ward, Xow York
city, elected John Morrisey a delegate
to tho Stuto Convention. Tbo editor
ol tho St. Louis flltbe, tbo Radical or
gan of Missouri, notices tho fact and
comments upon it to tho effect that bo
novor beard of any reform that Mor
risey neuiico or endorsed. John re
plica : "A great many things havo

ther of us bavo been apprised until
I uuer iuc occurred, xnis lucv 100
-A .1. .1 iT 1 f . t 1

nor successfully plundered the govern
nient of millions of Us revenues, nor

don." Deacon McKco, tbo editor in
quostion, wus ono or Bubcoek's butties
in the crooked whisky business, and
was fined $5,000, sent to tho Missouri
penitentiary Tor three yeurs, and par
doned out after a year's service Mc-
Keo is the last man who should up
braid anybody for crookedness. Ho
bus again found bis match in Morri
sey, and wo doubt not but that ho will
let him alone alter this.
Good Advice. Tho Philadelphia
AorA American, tho oldest opposition
organ in tbo Union, advises its Radi
cat trietids In tho interior or the Stuto
"not to rely upon tbo city or Philatlel
phin to curry Iho Stulo this year," ho
cause tbo dissatisfaction manifested
towards tbo city nominees on tho part
of tho Radical lenders, renders it very
doubtful whether any part of tho ticket
will bo elected. Wo aro satisfied that
this old organ understands the rase,
nnd knows very well that Ihcro is no
hopo of currying tho State this fall.
Democrats, it looks bright north,
Boutb, oust and west especially in
Pennsylvania. After this lull the Dem
ocrnls will bo able to "hold tho fort"
without molestation.
The Ghost of the Confederacy.
As soon as tho Hayes circus landed in
Washington, Hon. Alex. II. Stephens,
tho Conlcdciato Vico President, in
compnny with his brother Congress
man, Young, culled upon Mr. Hayes
and requested him to fill tho vacancy
on tho Supremo Bench by appointing
Hon. llershcll V. Johnston, of Georgia,
10 inai position, jur. Johnston was
tho Vico Presidential candidato on the
Douglnss ticket, in 18C0, and is 0110 of
tbo ablest statesmen in tho Union.
Thoughtful Hayes. A greut many
persons have wondered why the
vacancy on tho Supremo bench, caused
by tho election of Judgo Dnvls, of
Illinois, to tho United States Senato,
has not been filled. But now it is ex
plained that the vacancy is kopt open
for Stanley Mntthcws, In caso tbo Ohio
elections should rtilo him out or tho
Senate.
An Awful Keeling. Tho fat offico
holders in Philadelphia and Now Y'ork,
nro nearly annoyed to death becauso
it is given out at Washington that
Hayes will make a clean swoop of
things in these two cities, after the
November elections. Poor fellows,
how sad they must feel! Why not
strike, and defy His Fraudulonoy I
Good for Him. The other day,
Judge Porshingsentencrd a respectable
cilizon of Schuylkill county thirty
days in jail nnd fined him $50, becauso,
as a mi no boss, ho bad not obeyed the
law and soon II tbo mine was freo from
gas boforo tbo men entered it. An ex
plosion took placo and acvcrnl of the
men woro severely burned.
Disconsolate Soul. John Sherman
has been shedding tears as largo as
marrow fat peas, for two weeks because
be finds so many Radicals in Ohio who
will cnt the ticket and go straight over
to the copperheads.

.treasurer.
For tho very kind terms in which
you nro pleased to refer to my past life
1 urn niuen indented to you, ami you
but do 1110 justico in assuming that, in
tho event ol my election I will munairo
the "financial concerns" ol our Hut to
"with un eyo single to thu public good."
Tho iiiunugenient of tho Treasury of
thu Sluto lor somo time oast bus been
regurded with disfavor by a very lurge
number of tbo people. True or lulso,
charges havo been mado which havo
brought discredit on the administration
of this iinporlunt ollieo, und iho pnrtiul
in vusugaiions or rattier attempted ones
heretoloro made in accordance with
aroused public opinion, have failed to
relievo tho olhco ol the odor of wronir-
doinj; so repeatedly cliare-od airamst its
management.
W hoover may bu eluded Stute
Treasurer ut the coming election should
bo ho froo from ull complications, so in
dependent of all usiociittiona, so fear
less of ull consequences as to bo uble
thoroughly and honestly to investigate
tho records of tbo Treasury ol tho peo
plo nnd to present to them a statement
that will plainly exhibit the uctuul
condition of the ollieo. This the tax
payers ol the State of nil parlies ex
pect, and unless the candidate for State
treasurer is prepared to give them the
assurance of his determination faithful
ly to perform this high duty ho ought
not to receivo their support. This as
surance I givo without qualification,
nnd in accepting the nomination ten
dered to 1110 1 desire to say in refer
ence particularly to that portion of tbo
platform which refers to tho subject of
corporations that in my judgment the
time has arrived for tboso wbonnstimo
to bo tho leaders of public sentiment to
fully and cordially recognize tbo fact
that the people aro aroused and ulivo
to their interests, and in no respect uro
they more so thun in tho determina
tion to sco that whilo tho rights of
capitul shall bo carefully and fully pro
tected, combinations of capital in tbo
shapo of corporations shall bo conduct
ed for tho common good nnd not by
mismanagement und misdirection to
enuhlo a lew to grow rich at tho ox
penseoftbo many. With ovory ro
gard, 1 am very truly yours,

has, since his return to tho world, run
down frequently to Cape May. Ho is
wom and haggard, with whito hair
and tirod eyes. Ho drosses in bis old

looks at tho girls through bis glasses,
is particular about bis button hole bo
quel, can bow beautifully, bonds all
devotion ovor tho ladies to whom hois
presented, tulks man talk with his
practiced eyes saying more of admira
tion than bis lips; he is attentive to
wraps, shawls, scats; will put himself
to any inconvenience to commotio tho

strolls with a beautiful Philadelphian,
and is devoted and admiring. So onco
ho wooed the lovoly woman who bo

wero Red Cloud, Spotted Tail, Young-Jlan-A

Jr., Little Big Man, Black Coat, Sharp
Nose and other noted chiefs of tho two

to obtain a reservation on tho Tongue

tho encroachment of tho whilo men.
Somo two or threo months ago Rod

A Wonderful Responbiiiilitt.
f hero aro some people in tho world
who shoulder great responsibilities.
John Sherman, Hayes' Secretary of
tho Treasury, belongs to thut class.
Ho has written a plaintive appeal to
tho Radicals of Ohio to wako up and
carry that Stato for tho llayos policy.
Ho says bo is "uneasy and restless"
because ho cannot participate in tho
fray, and that tho President and Provi
dence havo dono so much Tor tbo coun
try this your thai they deserve cspcciul
indorsement at tbo hands or Ohio Re
publicans. Tho Secretary betrays too
much anxiety. Ha had better look
after the syndicato and tho four per
cents and let tho Ohio Republicans
shill for themselves, Xow, if "the
President and Providence" fail to ro
liove Sherman of his uncomfortable
position, what a misfortuno must over
take us all.
A Rad. Split. Tho Coroner bush
ness is such a fat job in Philadelphia,
that tho Radicals ol that city have put
two candidates in the Hold for that
office. Well, when rogues fall out,
honest men will get thoir dues. II
Hayes and Cameron cannot sleep in
ono bed and behave themselves, lot the
(icoplo turn both out of the bouao.
Let us have peace.

Al.AnMED. The Philadelphia In
quirer, on of the Radical family organs
of that city, warns its "loyal" readers
us follows :
It la uol only that there la e new cootoeUnt of
unknuwn etrongth in the ehnpe of the Labor par
ty, but there ia a general want of harmony among
the leadtra of the Renublieana. Poaalbly thia la
a thing more to he dreaded than a third organ 1
aalion ; but BO one with the power to barmoniae
antag.iniama la doing anything in that direction.
Tho caso must bo desperate when
an old organ, liko tho one in question,
openly confesses its weakness in tlio
fueo of tho opposition. Democrats
should tuko courago from this exhibi
tion of weakness on tho part or tho
enemy of Tree government, nntl nssuil
