THOMAS U MUHKA Y, KSQ
The aforesaid has been put in the
Held lor Congress iu this district, by
his Jia Ileal Iriends, who aiu making a
huge effort to ruko in a largo compli
mentary voto for him. Democrats,
this is tint the year for casting compll
mcntiiricii ! Voto straight for every,
thing from Hancock down to McClna
key, and then you will make no mis
take. Ex Governor Cuilin is the man
to receivo your vole for Congress Ho
possesses tbo ubility and experience,
and will be ono of the ablest members
of the next House.
Mr. Xlurray is a good lawyer and a
number one platform lecturer; but he
is too verdunt to send among Wash
ington sharpers. His Sundny school
education and bis humane ways would
soon attruct tho uttention of some
stock gambler, or a sharp pavement
contractor, und ho would be lead astray
and his personal repululion lost.
Take tho caso of Garfield I An up
right man, they say ; but seo how
Oakcs Ames got in on him with bis
French railroad sirtck, (Credit Xlobi
lier), and seo, loo, how innocently that
Chicago sharper lie Golyor went
through his Committee, Chairman and
all, for ono million of dollars on pavo
oicnt account, and how $5,000 got into
tho man'a pocket who now wants to bo
President.
There is no use of victimizing good
men in this wicked way. Mr. Murray
may mako himself useful to his neigh
bors as a lawyer, lecturer, and Sunday
school teacher: but to send him to
Washington would ho criminal. We
hope his friends will not wreck his
prospect so early in life, but request
him to remain at homo where his field
is a largo ono and must be congenial,
becauso of tho lack of Washington nl
ill re in en Is.
On.Y Garfield. Tho Erie Dispatch
says : "The entire oil region is ahluzo
with enlhusiunn for Gen. Garfield
The Observer says tho word indigna
tion would bo nearer tho truth than
enthusiasm. Tho oil producers learned
tho inside of tho Republican candidate's
character when they woro pressing
their anti discrimination bill in Con
gress. Gen. Gurfiold, while pretend
ing to favor the bill, mistook Frank
Rockefeller in Washington for his
brother John, tbo Presidont of the
Standard Oil Company, and assured
him the bill should nevor pass that
it would be smothered in committee
or othcrwiso dofeated. Xtr. Frank
Rockefeller informed him ho bad mis
taken his man as be was an oil pro
ducer, and opposed to tbo Standard
monopoly.
This was reported at homo at tho
time by tho committeo oUho Oil Pro
ducor'a Council, a majority ol whom
wore Republicans, and they will sub-
stantiato the truth of this statement
anytime. Ol'courso theso mon aro

Can Hancock carry tbo Stato ol
New York? It went for Tilden four
years ago by a mujonty of 33,000 ; and
Garfield is a weaker raudidutu than
Hayes was.
"We might enlarge tbo Hancock

We wonder who conducted the

asserts that ba would, if Prosidont,
veto any legislation which would pro
vide lor tho payment ot claims for
losses or damages by porsons who were

written. Is Garfiold silent with the
hopo of gaining Southern votes? The
Republicans havo insisted that the late
rebels only wait for a chanco to obtain
payment for tl.oir losses. If this be so
let Garfield speak out and knock away

Mr. Calm, October 18th, 1880.
Pursuant to notico tho inhabitants
of this community met on Satuiduy
evening, fur the puiposcof hearing the
great questions ol tho Domocrulic
party discussed. The meeting was
called to order by Joseph U. Rowlos,
Esq. Josiuh Thompson was elected
Chairman, Ju'ncs 3. Head and Levi
Howies Vico Presidents, and W. P.
Tato Secretary.
J. Frank Snyder, E-q., was tho first
speaker called, and bo responded in a
very explanatory and appropriate ad
dress. The audience then called lustily
for W. A. Hogerly, Esq., who came to
the front with a rousing speech, which
was loudly applauded.
At the conclusion ol the speeches, a
Huncock & English Club was organ
ir.ed, and a long list of old tried nnd
true Democrats pledgod themselves to
still bo faithful to their party princi
ples, and to use all honorable means in
their power to obtain tho election ol
General Winfield S. Hancock to the
Presidency of iheso United Slates.
S. T. Biockliank, lq., was called
upon, und responded wilb u thought

The meeting.closed with three rnus

Time 1878-9-80. Prosperity return

manufacturing establishments openod,
giving mechanics and laborers employ

and economy in expenditure tho rule

election would add still more lo our
prosperity. Vole for an honest man
with a clean record.
Sound to the Core. Ahram 8
Hewitt, of Now York, whose firm has
paid out 115,000,000 lor wages alone
In Tronton, N. J., and nevor broko a
promiso to a workman, made a speech
to the "business mon" of Trenton last
week, and declared his faith that If
Hancock is eloclod no barm can come
to any business interests of the country.
Yes, Tariff t-It is Just a little
amusing to sea tho JNow York Times,
ono of the moat thorough-going froo
trado Journals In th country, decrying
tha Democratic party because- among
iU "Influential factions" it contains ono
that favors "a revolution In the tariff."!
An Unsolved Problem. Although
wo havo been a spectator, in a politi
cal sense, for over twenty years, we
woro never so badly fooled as wo were
rocenlly. Wo had settled the fact in
our mind, from tha usual survey of tho
Held at (his distance, that tho Radicals
would carry the Stale of Maine, by
from 8,000 to 10,000 majority, and that
tho Democrats would get away with
Indiuna, with about tho same figures.
But, tho reverse is tho fact in both
cases, and wo have wuited on Blaino,
English & Co. to explain tho situation ;
but they don't cxpluin, and conso
qncntly wo are left in tho dark on thoso
points, except so far, that outsiders all
agreo that the Radicals will curry
Maino In November by 10,000, and the
Democrats will scoop I ndiona by 1 0,000.
That Official Rkcord. Those fig
uros, J329, aro as offensive to Radical
eyes, as water is to a mad dog. Hut
lourgonuino Radical statesmen Po

put the figures down in that way and
had them printed in books. There
lLwn nf llt.m .!tl I . . u .

port oi una unmnatilo transaction is

Loyal (!) Agony. The Chambers
burg fyirif says : "If Hancock wasn't
at Gettysburg possibly Gen. 8icklcs
wasn't there, cither. Truo, Sickles
lost a log there on tho second day but,
since ho has declared for Hancock, it
may bo discovered that tho lost, leg
was a cork one carried on the fluid by
Sickles, with intent to deceive. Let
the Republicans send Col. Baxter after
that leg."
Onb Less. lion. Henry D. Foster,
a distinguished citizen ol our Htato,
died at his borne near Groensburg,
Westmorland county, Pa., last Satur
day night, at an advanced ago. Mr.
Foster sorved thrco or four terms In
Congress, and was the Democratic
nominee for Govornor ia 18C0. As a
lawyer, ho had few equals in tho South
western part of the Stato.
"Hurray for Hi rraii!" The Gov
ernment Clorks, Credit Mobilicr deal
ora, and tho DeGolyer agents had an
awlul "jamborco" at Washington the
other night, over tho Indiana eloctinn.
The Maine question was never men
tioned during tho parade.
It' no Joke. Col. It. XI. Gibson,
tha well known Democratic lawyer in
Pittsburgh, wrios of Garfield : "Ho is
a political clothes pin, always looking
out for a line to straddle" The Colo
net always gets at tho truth tho short
est way.
Clearfield, I'a , Oct. 18, lsgo.
To the llcmocrucy of Clearfield County:
Forward! forward along tho whole

Close up tho Democratic column.
Send out your reeoiiuoilering parlies.
Advance the skirmish lino in order lo

that wo may be able lo make a suc
cessful assault upon their works from
every availublo point and send them

Hancock did with thu velerun liirces

corrupt means employed to carry these
Stale. Tho Democracy id the West

Xlursbals, were somo of tho ineuns
used by which Indiana has been given
temporarily to our foe. lie not dis
couraged nor dismoyed. Tho battle
for liuul victory has just begun. Tho
tug ol war bus yet to come. Victory
is within our reach, if wu will but
stretch forlh our bunds to grasp it.
Buckle on your armor, und go to
work with more doterniiniflion thun
ever, remembering that tho victory
belongs to tho active, Ihu vigilant, und
the bravo. "Let every Democrat wor

Redoublu your efforts, close up the

of our gallant commander, march iu

We have presented to us lor our
eufl'rages a great soldier and states
man, who has rendered his country
luilhlul, heroic, mill magnificent serv
ices, and especially in uu hour when
durk and portenlious clouds overshad
owed us and threatening thuiulerings
proclaimed tho downfall of our ururid
old Commonwealth : when fear was
depicted on every coiinlenuneo; when
the Btreets of our towns wore throng

liludu, and the cry went up from every
household, 'Where is tho Army of the
Potomac, and where is Hancock ?"
lie wus there, leadinu tho Armv of
the Puloinao to light tho decisive but

Mentor, trying to electioneer himself
into Congress where fear or danger is

And, pledging "their lives, their lor

But tho truo grandeur ot our Na

How, then, can our country's present

every American citizen resolve that
bo will possess a patriotism so puro

that the shafts of temptation will fall

From Iba CineinnaAl Knqulrer, October I ISS. J
1 be following telegraphic letter from
Hon. Ahram 8. Hewitt, was read al tbe
Business Xlen's Meeting nt Cincinnati,

New York, October 5, 1880.
1 regret that y.our invitation has
reached me so late that I can only send
a brief response by telegraph. I sym
pathize lully with the indignation of
the men of business of Ohio and else
where against tbo impudent assump
tion of Republican speakers that tbe
accession ol the Democratic party lo
power will bo injurious lo tho industry
and prosperity of the country. Having
utterly failed in their appeal to tbo
common senso of the people, they now
resort lo tho last desperate expedient
ol arousing the fears ol mon who can
be reached only through selfish srgu
monts. Happily in this country of
general education, such appeals aro
justly regarded as an insult to tbe in
telligence of the people. They arc
equivalent to tbo assorlion that a ma-
jority of tho voting population are so
stina in ignorance thut tbey cannot be
trusted to protect iheirown rights and
interests. Such appeals amount to a
denial ol the fundamental nrincinles
on wuicn mo uocirmeoi universal sul-
frago is based, and afford the best an
swer to the hypocritical lamentations
of tbe Republican loaders in regard to
the alleged lailtiro of negro suftraLro

any, are not particularly apparent. It
ia one of those border episodes that
may naturally bo expected between,
races whoso interests aro not at all in
common, and whose mutual aversions,
are relentless episodos tbat nuisi con
tinue to occur as long as there is a
square milo of land in Colorado that ts
worth tho white cettler'a while to
occupy.
There is no amount ol treaty-making
that can operate as a moro than tem
porary preventive, and tho aooner the
Government recognizes the fact that
whether might always makes right or
not, it always must prevail, the sooner
will the Indian question come to a
bend.
In tho meantime, it is to be hoped
thut the State authorities ol Colorado,
instead of yielding to any spirit of law
lessness that might resuli in precip
itating a bloody war, will do what
they can to "soolhe the savage breast,"
until other and permanent measures
for the public protection can be
brought to bear upon the situation.
The Government will, of course,,
abide by all its existing obliirntions.
and as far as may be. deal out iinnitr
tial justice. It is lo bo rei?rottod lhat
