YE BOYS IN BLUE WHO FOUGHT
WITH GEARY.
BY M. H. COBB.
Alit-" Marseillaise."
Ye Boys in Blue, who fought with Geary,
And brought to bay the nation's foe,
In freedom's cause who ne'er grow weary,
Returning traitors' blow for blow ;
Cau ye forget the brave who perished
By treason's hurling shot and shell,
Vet bade us cherish as they fell
The rights our martyred fathers cherished ?
Forget? Forget ? Ah, no !
Theirs is a deathless fame !
The brave shall live, while traitor knaves
Inherit deathless shame.
We follow him who saved the nation
In wild Wanhatchie's midnight fight ;
Who sounded victory's invocation
Above the clouds on Lookout's height ;
We hear his battle-shout still ringing—
It stirs us like a bugle blast,
When hosts for deadly fray urn massed,
And countless death o'erhead are winging !
"Strike towel strike home, ye brave
For freedom, truth and rig!tt !
Close up—close up 1 our flag shall crown
4009 1 /1148Montaili bight 1"
#
e hear no more the battle thunder ;
Green is the turf above our dead ;
But griefs which rent our hea►ta asunder
Still rankle where the shaft was sped ;
So rally once again for Geary,
Who marched with Sherman to the sea ;
Our standard-bearer still is he !
Of him our hearts shall ne'er grow weary ;
Hurrah, hurrah, ye brave !
For Geary tried and true
lose up ! close up ! and charge once more
The treason-plotting crew !
THE CONDUCTOR'S STORY
sitting in a hotel smoking room one
night, an oldconductor related the follow
in
It was when the Hudson River Railroad
was just built. There was no telegraph
ing along the line, and everything was
quite primitive compared to what it is
now. The flag men had got on a sort of
strike about those days, too, so that you
trusted to luck for safe running. I was
running a sort of a way train between
New York and Poughkeepsie then. Run
ning an express is much pleasanter
than running a way, you may easily im
agine.
" Well, I ran the train out of New York
one afternoon, and I had for the driver of
the engine a man who was famous for the
accurate way in which he would come up
to his stations. He would stop any nam
ed coach almost to a foot where he said
he would ; but on this occasion he appear
ed to have very bad luck. Ile ran past
his station and had to back down,
and
then again he would stop so short that the
engine would be in front of the station and
the rear coach an eighth of a mile bask,
and it raining hard too. Then he'd start
up again just as the passengers were get
ting out. So we kept running behind
time all the while. There was a sort of
lightning express came out of New York
about an hour after us, and we were grad
ually working back into its time.
We got to Fishkill, and having made
an awful bad shot at a depot, I said to
the baggage master : Mack has had bad
luck'at making his stations to day. Won
der what's the matter ?"
"The baggage master turned round on
me quickly and said,
• "If you want to know what I tbink—l
think Mack is drunk 1"
" "It can't be,” says I, "1 never saw
him touch a drop of liquor or smell of it in
any way."
That's so," said the man, " but I
think he's drunk to-day. lie was in the
car here a little while ago, and picked up
the brakeman's lanterns and slung them
in a bunch at me. I dodged and they
went out of the car door and smashed.
Then he chuckled and welt back to the
engine."
I didn't like the idea of a drunken en
gineer, but had to laugh at the fate of the
lanterns. If I had known how I was
going to groan over their fate soon, I
wouldn't have laughed then.
" When we got above Fishkill I tho't I
would let those who got on at one of the
little stations ride free to the next station,
while I rode on the engine and investigat
ed.
"So I got on the Corning, and Mack
looked black enough instead of as civil as
usual. I joked him about his bad luck in
making his stations, and he growled out
a curse. I asked him if he knew how
nearly he had got into the lightning ex
press time, and his reply showed that
the man was evidently drunk and
mirk. I happened to put my hand
down under the cushion of the seat and
felt a 'bottle. Pulling the cork out I
'smelled whisky, and quietly threw it over
board. But Mack taw me and cursed me
for destroying his property.
"What, saw you throw that bottle away
for ; it wasn't your rum ?" be said; at the
end of an awftil swear.'
"I'll tell ypu why," said I; " con
ductor of MI6 train, and you are too
drunk to do your business right, and
you'd get worse and worse if you had a
bottle."
Then he 'grinned a savage sort of grin,
and quieted clown into a silent state, but
he looked dangerous about the eyes.
" You're conductor of this train, are
you ? Pll show you how much you have
to do with runuiug it," says he, and began
to slow up, and we behind time already,
you know. I didn't know what to do—we
were getting dangerously near the light
ning express time—and while I was de
bating he suddenly blew brakes,' with a

fiendish chuckle, and stopped at a station
that the train never stopped at before. I
looked at my watch and determined to
send an express. Just then a thought
struck me that made my hair stand up on
end. There wasn't a lantern on the train
—the drunken beast had smashed them
all—there wasn't a soul at the station,
which was miles away from the village ;
the express didn't stop before it reached
Poughkeepsie, so that I couldn't leave
word to caution it, and just then I heard
its whistle a mile or two back. The en
gineer heard it too, and laughed a diaboli
cal laugh.
"That decided me. I caught up a
wrench and struck him back of the ear
and he dropped like dead. I dragged his
body (I didn't know then whether I was
handling a corpse or not,) olr the engine,
and threw it down by the road side, and
jumped on the engine.
" Jimmy," said I, " the express is after
us, Mack smashed all the lanterns—and
we can't stop here. Our only chance is
running away from her—so cram in the
wood, and I'll open every thing."
" I knew, by observation, how to open
and shut her off, but of course couldn't
graduate the speed like a. professional. I
' opened everything' you may be sure,
and away we jumped. It was a curious
chase. To be hunted by a locomotive
don't 1411 to the lot of every one. Our
engine was not so powerful a one as the
express engine, and our train was quite
long, so we crammed in the fuel and de
pended upon high pr t for our salva
tion. Of course I thought for a
moment of stopping t a side of Pough
keepsie; su we speeded past the stations
all lighted and filled with wonderin,c
" Just after passing the second, the
gong of the engine struck—some one had
pulled the safety rope. The fireman's
hand went instinctively to the whistle to
blow brakes, but I caught it. It was the
most anxious moment of my life. If I
did not mind the signal and something
was wrong, and an accident should occur,
I should always be blamed even if I didn't
blame myself. But if I stopped, the ex
press might—probably would—run right
into us. The pull didn't sound protos
sional—like a brakeman's. It probably
was a jerk at the rope by a passenger who
bad been carried by his station—so I'd
chance. it.
"All this went through m,y mind like
lightning, as you may imagine—one
thinks quickly on such occasions—and I
caught the fireman's arm. He had never
heard of such a thing as disobeying the
gong, and stared. I was too excited to
speak, but pointed to the fire and he put
in more fuel quietly.
" Well, to make a long story short, I
never blew brakes till the engine was
opposite the station. Then I shut oft;
blew one whistle, and went sliding up the
road. Just as we stopped, the express,
whose station whistle I had heard just be
hind me, came up to the depot, and stopped
where the trains usually do. If I had
minded the signal, or stopped in front of
the depot, I'd - been smashed.
" You see there was no way to do but
to run for it. We hadn't a red light for
the rear car; we hadn't a lantern nor
couldn't get one to send back to signal;
the flagmen were on a strike, and the ex
press didn't stop aupwhere till it reached
Poughkeepsie, and she got so close on to
us when the engineer cut up as he did,
that I couldn't stop at a station and send
a man back. Before he could have got
far enough away it would have been so
close that they conldn't have `broke up'
in time, but would have come into ua.
" I didn't know whether I'd killed
Mack or not, and took the ' owl train'
back, and found him all right as regards
death, but very sick from the dip I'd give
him.
"The company give me this watch when
they heard of it."
WORKINGMEN, REMEMBER I
That Asa Packer made tweedy millions
of dollars by grinding it out the sweat of
other men's brows.
That for his oppression of the laboring
men in his employ, he was by theta vio
lently seized and thrown into the Lehigh
river, and would have been drowned at
their hands but for the interference of a
pitying mutual friend who interposed in
behalf of his personal safety.
Remember that only a few weeks ago,
he was one of a controlling agency that
raised the price of coal upon you, thus
laying tribute upon your hard earnings
for the further enrichment of his coffers.
Remember that though worth a hun
dred fortunes, Asa Packer is publicly
charged (and the official records of Car
bon county sustain the charge ) , with not
having paid as much personal tax as is
paid by many of the poorest mechanics of
Lancaster county; and remember further
more, that the little he did pay was forc
ed from hint by the litrougartb of the law.
Remember that Asa Packer is an out
and-out Free Trader, and as such is dia
metrically opposed to the protection of
your industry from the competition of the
pauper labor of Europe.
Remember that he is a monied aristo
crat, and as such cannot truly sympa
thize with your labor and interests. '
Rereember that a man who would know
ingly defraud his own county out of its
legitimate dues, would not hesitate to be
tray the interests of his own State into
the hands of another State.
Remember that John W. Geary was
himself a workingman, who has honorably
fought his way up from poverty and ob
scurity into positions of honor and dis
tinction, and that he eminently deserves

with nesdaeas and
REPUBLICANS, on with .yonr. harness
and to work. Much is yet to be done.
Go straightway and do it.
NASIIY, who reviewed the political field
lately from Mauch Chunk, thinks Demo
cracy has got mixed.
I„tuonlNG MEN remember that you pay
fifty-seven cents per ton on all the coil
you consume in Asa Packer's pocket.
Wno attempted to starve the boatmen
on the Lehigh? Ask Asa Packer why he
was thrown into the canal.
Wu° can't get rich when he charges
every man fifty-seven cents extra on each
ton of coal consumed? That's Asa Pack
er's way!
ItEmEmnEtt that Asa Packer makes
over $:10,000 every month by increasing
the toll on coal transported over his rail,
road.
FIFTY-SEVEN CENTS on every ton of
coal is the amount taken from every poor
man by the railroad of which Asa Packer
is the principal owner.
BUSINESS men and merchants, if you
were going to retain counsel in an im
portant case, would you prefer Henry W.
IVilliams or C. L. Pershing, of Cambria?
MOUT dollar:3 and ninety-six cents is
the amount 'of taxes paid by Asa Packer,
who is reported to be worth twenty mil
lion. The poor man pays his taxes for
him.
THE Foor man i 4 indebted to the Re
publican party for every reduction of tapes
and lightening of his burthens. If he
wishes such a policy continued he will
vote the whole Republican ticket.
Cortzmws of Pennsylvania, if another
war were to fall upon the Commonwealth,
would you feel sate with John W. Geary
or Asa Packer in the chair, in view of
their past records ?
TILE last question is not whether Judge
Packer pays his taxes iu Mauch Chunk or
Philadelphia—hot whether he pays them at
all anywhere. Revenue officials should
act to work to sift out this mystery.
JEFF DAVIS is coining to America.
Whether he will stump Pennsylvania or
not in the interest of his friends Asa Pack
er and Cyrus L. Pershing, we have as yet
been unable to learn.
IF Packer really belongs to Philadel
phia, as he, himself, and the Democrat
now assert, would it not be well to modify
the last part, and make it, say : "The
Pride of the Merchants' Hotel, Philadel
phia ?"
IT is a notorious fact that while the De
mocracy claim to be a poor-maws party,
leaders are always rich men. August
Belmont in New York, and Asa Packer
in Pennsylvania, are two striking exam
ples of this anomaly.
TIIE Democrats, last year, had the State
overrun by orators, from Horatio Seymour
down, and were beaten badly. This year
they are trying the secret and silent pro
cess, possibly on the theory that the green
back is the better argument.
EVERY MAN who desires to give the
control of the Supreme Court to the De
mocracy, and thus again have the State
deluged with fraudulent naturalization
papers, will vote for Pershing. • Those
who do not will vote for Williams.
A DEMOCRATIC contemporary, in its
obituary of John Bell says : " During
the civil war Mr. Bell sympathized with
the South, but gave the rebellion no active
support." That was exactly the position
of Mr. Packer and hie Democratic sup
porters.
Jour( W. GEARY the brave soldier; qr
Packer, the rebel millionaire, must be our
Governor for the next three years. Can
loyal men hesitate whom to choose ? Vote
for the man who fought his country's bat
tles and periled his life for the Union.
JUDGE PACKER was a delegate to the
white-feather convention of the Democra
cy which met at Chicago in 1884 and de
clared the war a failure. The Boys In
Blue of Pennsylvani,► will convince the
Judge, on the second Tuesday of this
month, that the war was not a failure.
COLORED men voted in North Carolina,
Pennsylvania, and other free States, up
to Gen. Jackson's administration, about
which time the South, beginning to realize
the necessity of au abject class; and the
danger of educating or elevating the
negro, set the example of prohibiting all
franchises to the latter, and that example
was obediently followed in the North.
JAMES N. KERNS, U. S. Assessor, has
given his official certificate to the effect
that Asa Packer's return for internal rev
enue taxes is one gold watch and some
silver plate, the tax on which amounts to
only $8.95. Thus this twenty millionaire,
with his vast revenues, returns, under
oath, a less income than most of the min
ers who delve in his old collieries.
REPUBLICANS, wake up ! action is the
word I Let every man do his duty. Let
not the cause languish. You have a Gov
ernor and Judge of the Supreme Court to
elect. We cannot afford defeat. Then
work, and let every man speak and agitate.
You cannot expoct many speeches, as the
time is too short now. Again we say, go
to work to get out a full vote.
UPON' what qualifications do Cyrus L.
Pershing's claims for Supreme Judge rest?
Was he ever a judge ? Is he an eminent.
lawyer ? Has he had any experience for
the responsibilities of a seat upon the
Supreme Bench ? All these questions
must be answered in the negative. How
can any lawyer desire the elevation of
such a man to the bench ? If not, then
can he vote for Mr. Pershing?
