In a county se strongly Republican as
Lancaster, that party has a great advan
tage In getting out Its vele because of
the many meii who nre looking out for
offices for themselves in the future nnd
who expect le forward their claims te It
by showing geed results for their party
In their district. Tertunately for the
Democratic party it generally has in
eveiy district representatives who
are sd unsalfHtily inter.-sted in their
party's auceess as te devete themselves
zealously te the work of getting out the
party vote. We must depend almost
entirely upon such disinterested zeal In
this election te secure a poll of the full
Democratic vote. We have no money
nnd no hireliugs te de the work. Per

Democrats te be persuaded te vole, but
there are always some who need te be
looked after. We expect our friends te

of this city nt its last meeting passed a
resolution that at the oemlne eloetlon ou
November 4 aud hcroafter. the Democratie
pirty of Lancaster would net hire, neither
pay utreetly nor indirectly any person for
any services ou election day. I beg te as

geed faith aud will be earrled out In Its
full intent and purpese. There will he no
hlred "poll committees" nor nny devtoe
whatever under cover of which auy bribery
or corruption of voters shall be practleed.
It is an undisguised and undisputed faet
that thsre ban been an nlatmlug Increase
of bribery at our municipal nnd general
elections during the past six or eight years.
Most of It is praoticed under the guise of
hired "poll committees" which simply
means tba ptymeut of from ene te two
thousand voters and an oxpenso te the
patties jDiutly, of from two te four thou
sand dollars at eajh election. Some men
are paid te vote in accotdaneo with tbeir
pretended oeuvictions, nnd seme against
them I de net knew which is the mero
disrepulable ; nor de I propeso te be drawn
into auy coatreveisy ns te where tbe re
sponsibility lies for the origin nnd contin

that the tlrce hai ceme when every pttrl

slty of terminating this vi!e business, and
I propise te de my part toward thit end.
I rcstietfully ask you in your official ca

like action en the part of your party.
I propose, in addition, te aji jointly
with veu in efleriug rewards, amounting
te J500, for tbe arrest and conviction of all
persons who, directly or Indlreetly, buy or
hell votes at the coming election In this
city. I am authorized by a very promi

you tbat he has placed in my hands $100

My Dnvit Sin : I am in receipt of
yours of the S.h inst., and have carefully
considered Its contents. I de net differ
from you as te the evils resulting from
the corruption el Jveters, and I deprecate
and oecdjran tbe use of money nt elections
as much as you possibly can. I am, hew.
ever, greatly astonished at yenr state
meutns te the traffic in votes in this city.
That " from oue te two thousand voters
are purchased at an expense of from two
te four thousand dollars," Bcems te me
incredible, aud I hops you are in error.
our letter, however, comes te me tee
late te commnnieato with the members of
tbe county cemmittee, whom I officially
represent ; and I am net a member e( the
oxecutlve committer, te whose manage,
ment city campaigns are intrusted. The
money collected by myself has haeu
placed in my bands purely for legitimate
election expanses, and I can use It only for
snch purposes. I have no desire te bur
den myself with p'.edges te proseouto
violators of the law, nor te pay from our
slender funds rewards for their conviction,
and in addition, I de net wish te veluu
teer myself m a poliea officer or publle
prosecutor.
In tbe second plaas whlle I have pirfast
confidence that you would endeavor te
carry out any agreement you might enter
into en this subje.it, yet I de doubt your
ability te pledge the word or hundreds at
Domeoratio workers, who, judging by tbe
past, will most likely act as te tbem seerns
proper lu the premises.
Fer there reasons, which seem te me
hufficient, I am compelled te dcoliiie the
assumption of additional responsibilities
or liabilities. I am,

Deaii Sin : While I regret that you did
net see your way dear te co-eperato with
our committee In endeavoring te suppress
the se-called "poll committee" Bystem.
I am glad tbat you de net differ from me
as te " the evil resulting from tbe cerrup
lien of veterB,"
I ascribe your misquotation of my letter
te tbe astonishment whieh was excited in
your mind by my statement of a oendltlon
of things that has long been apparent te
and freely admitted by lbe leading pellti
eians of all parties in this city. I am glad
that tbe fund of three or four thousand
dollars levied by your committee upon the
candidates for oeunty officers is placed in
your hanns - and presumably will be used
" purely for legitimate expenses." It Is a
hopeful sign of the times that in a oeunty
nferetime se strongly Republican as Lan.
caster the cacdidates of tbat party en the
county ticket have te spend such a large
sum as this for " printing and traveling
expenses, dissomlnatlen of Information te
the publle and for political meetings, do de do
rneustrntions and conventions" (Aet of
April 18, 1874, P. L 04) In order te seonre
their eleotleu.
Be this as it may, I knew that you will
be glad te bear tbat notwithstanding your
Inability te join with us our single efforts
will ba dlreeted te prevent, suppresser
punish that " use of money nt elections "
whieh you se earnestly " deprecate and
condemn."
May I ask you te aid In circulating the
accompanying offer of rewards whieh, as
you will readily see, is norespeoter of per
sons or parties, and which will embrace
tbe " hundreds of Democratie workers "
whom jeu tear and distrust, as well ns
offenders who may net happen te belong te

affair was Frank Shreder, who two yenni

Hoever. He recelved valuable niilstanea
from Lew Ilartraau nnd ether Jehn
Stewart llopublleans. The Stalwarts
were very much disgusted nt the ptetnl.

net only refused te tnke auy part in It, but
advised ethers net te parade. Ne later
thau Saturday morning there was a row

presonted a tluu appearance, lu tbelr bright
red uniforms. Thny also matched well.
The ether elub worthy of a nofieo was from
Columbia and It was wull drilled. The
ethor visitors were from the dilloreut
townships lu the county. There wein
several ergauisjd clubs, but meit, of the
paradcrs scorned te have ceme te town en
their own auoeuut. Twenty different Ulud
of uniforms were worn by the ciuutrytuep,
a large number of wliem were full te Uiu

In tbe line of this company, were '-It -ddy"

great Impression by his "nhape." Abe

In tbe line. The principal men lu t'l-i First

looked after the Second waid,asisted by a

as they were clethtd In shirts wheh
looked as though they had seen

there was a line collection under emmnn.l
of Charley Whlte "Heggy" LwiarJ

tried and trua statesman, Kahler Snyder,

Carriers Mayer and Hreaaler had tba Fifth

there were net 20 men in tbe party. Squire

Tbore was no turnout for the Eighth ward,
The coon elub looked well lu tin helruet
as they marched behind what tbey believed
te be a band. Big Black Dave Wilsun,
wbose entire uullurm was a coat, had
obarge of tbe band, glriug them points In
regard te their alleged music. Tbu mekes
carried axes en their backs and tasers In
their peskets. The Kuzoe, High Scheel

Along the Ilue of march there wre se tia
