The County tonlentlon
The Democratic County Convention of
Wednt sday, gave evidence of the spirit
which :militates the Deitiocracy of Lan
caster county. With the exception of
the great iluchanan Convention, it was
the fullest Democratic Convention that
ever assembled in this county. This
shows how deep an interest the De
mocracy lake in the pending political
contest_ They tre not only alive, but
fully awake to the importance of the
great issues of the day. They are de
termined to do all that lies in their
power to rescue the Mate front the
clutches of the crazy fanatics and the
corrupt, and thieving politicians who
have made the mune lit Pennsylvania
a bye-word and a reproach throughout
the land. We never saw greater evi
dence of stern determination, and impe
nd resolve than was exhibited by the
large assemblage of delegates. \Ve hail
this :is a sure indication that the De
mocracy of Lancaster county will do
their whole duty on the Sill day of Uo
tuber. Let them work unceasingly and
untiringly.
The County Ticket is one of rare ex
cellence, composed, from top to bottom,
of good men and true, and the candi
dates are well distributed among the
different districts. But little time is
left ill \rhielt to complete our org:uti•r.a
tion and bring out the entire vote.
There must be no delay, no relaxation
of effort. Let every Democrat in the
county resolve to lend his personal ef
fort to bring out the full vote, and
when, on the night of Ilie Second Toes•
day of October, the telegraph ticks off
the news of a grand victory:, each one
will have the proud consciousness of
knowing that he has faithfully dune
his part in the glorious work. Re
member that- every vote will tell on
the result in the State. •
Sec to Naturalization
The Court, will sit on :\londay, the
Clay before the election, for the purpose
of granting naturalization papers to all
who way be entitled to them. Let our
friends in every district see if some
votes cannot be thud made. Look into
the matter carefully, and do not let a
single ease be neglected. Foreigners
who served in the army are naturalized
without any first papers.

Baguio,
Signs or the Times.
Since the passage of the infamous
Military Despotism and Negro Suffrage
Act of the last Congress, the current of
popular sentiment has turned strongly
against the authors of that measure.
Every subsequent election has demon
strated the hostility of the people to
that oppressive and unconstitutional
method of governing the South. The
probability now is, that the passage of
that law has dug for the Republican
party as broad and deep a burial pit as
that into which the Democracy fell
after the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise.
Connecticut, Kentucky, California,
Montana and Maryland have ranged
themselves under tho;ltemocratie stand
ard. Even the New ngland States of
New Hampshire, \ ermont and Maine
have given greatly reduced Republican
majorities. The municipal 'elections of
Pennsylvania clearly indicate the same
tendency. Wilkesbarre, Williamsport,
Reading and other places have surprised
the public with the size of their Demo
cratic majorities. And our own City of
Lancaster has surpassed them all by
rolling up, unexpected Imajorities of au
and WO for the cause of Constitutional
Liberty.
The most gratifying feature of all
these elections is, that their results have
uniformly astonished the Democrats as
much as the Republicans. The most
careful canvassing and calculations
failed to indicate w hat was about to take
place. The week before the election in
California Republican newspapers there
predicted that the Republican vote
would exceed Lhe Democratic vote from
:20,000 to 2.1,n00. The (lay belpre the elec
tion, Radicals wagered their money on
from ,5,000 to 10,(iii0 majority for the
regular Republican candidate for Gov
or. Vet the Democratic nominee
beat him ii,non, and both Rellublican
candidates together 7,000. At our own
municipal election 00 Democrat expect-
ed Mayor Sanderson to receive 511 ma
jority. But wards which the Radicals
expected to carry cast large Democratic
majorities, and we all remember the
ridiculous explanations of the former
after the election, of the estimates on
which they relied to secure the Coun
cils, and their disappointment at the
votes of the new wards into which they
had divided the City.
While these results cannot be account-
ed for by Radical apathy, they can be
readily explained by the cliBgust of Re
publicans with the measures of their
leaders. Many intelligent and consci
entious Republicans have quietly voted
the, Democratic ticket, and thereby

The Bounty Swindle
The people should remember that
he House of Representatives of the
present Congress has passed a Bill giv
ing an additional Bounty of Three
Hundred Dollars to every soldier of the
recent war who has not received, or A is
not entitled to receive, that amount Of
Slate or local bounty. Every soldier
from Pennsylvania and the i\liddle
and Eastern States inns tictired, of is
ntitlcil to icccive , of Slate or local
bounty. Therefore they will gain
nothing by this Bill. But it will give
jauu to every soldier of the Western
Stdites, NV e h paid neither Stale nor
local bounty, and will thus, it is esti•
mated, take 5:l00,0d0,0:11 out of the
National Treasury. This now only
awaits the :indiction of Lilo Senate to be
come a law.

'rile majority against our candidate
for Governor was not a lair test of the
stretigh of parties at the last election.
Creary enjoyed the advantage of n
military title and considerable military
repudiation, while our gallant candi
date was charged with opposition 1.9
the war and to the Constitutional
amendment allowing soldiers to vote.
These charges were false, but they were
believed to a damaging extent,. The
fairest test of party strength at that
election was the vole for Members of
Congress, • and this exhibited a Radical
majority of hut 11,11011. Tlte whole vote
cast was upwards of six nuNnitkii
Tnorsxxh. It will therefore requirc a
change of bat one per cent. or one rote
in 0 1.1111110 il, Lo wipe out this majority.
A change of two per cent. or two votes
in every hundred, will give a Demo
cratic; majority of - rump. We think
these votes will not be hard to get; in
deed, tee believe they will come atheir
own accord. Military Despotism, Negro
Suffrage, Congressional and Legislative,
Corruption and Extravagance, and El
Regulated and Oppressive Taxation
will readily effect the change. It only
remains for tint Democracy to poll
their whole role, and the changes added
to this will secure a splendid victory.
The Maryland Militia
Hans Forney and Hansworst Geary
profess to be terribly frightened by the
Maryland militia. They must be ink.
erable cowards or great liars. The law
of that State only authorizes the organ
ization of ten thousand militiamen,
and but a few scattering companies have
been equipped. Yet Forney and Geary
are trying to snare the Radicals of Penn;
sylvania out of their wits by telling
them Unit these fragmentary militia
companies will turn the Radical mem
bers of Congress out of their seats and
make Andrew Johnson king. The
Baltimore Sun ills affief4 of the whole of
that Improbable lie by showing that the
few militia companies which do exist
in the State are mostly officered by men
who served in the Federal army, while
all are under command of a Union gen
eral who has been repeatedly eulogized
by Forney himself. So much for that
raw-head and bloody bones.
Shall We Win a Great Victory ?
We can carry Pennsylvania and elect
Judge Shorewood by an overwhelming
majority If the full Democratic vote Is
polled; Our opponents do not pretend
to dispute that. On the contrary they
freely and frankly admit it. Shall we
grasp thoglorious victory which thus lice
within easy reach ? It is for the masses
of the Democratic party to say.
Reader wjll you, weeny You, enlist lo
lis contest from now until sundown on
the day of election '."The work Is not
onerous or disagreeable. It involves
simply the faithful discharge of a great
public duty—the duty you owe to your
country In a crisis which should draw
forth the full energies of every patriotic
citizen.
Last Fall 600,000 votes were cast in
Pennsylvania. This year the vote may
fall off to 500,000. How many of the
absentees will be Democrats? That is
the question In which Is involved a
most glorious success or adisastrous and
disgraceful defeat.
Thousands of Republicans ure dis
gusted with the course of their party
leaders, and many of them will vote the
Democratic ticket for the first time at
the cooling election, while others will
- - _
lellberately ailment themselves from the
polls. The Democratic party labors
under no such drawbacks. Its political
position is impregnable, and it has the
loftiest as well as the strongest possible
inducements to put forth all its energies,
Never were the incentives to exertion
greater. The Democrat who deliberately
absents himself from the polls, or who
refuses to use every effort to get out a
full vote at the coining important elec
tion will deserve the execration of every
true man in the State and the nation.
We speak strongly, because we feel the
vast weight of responsibility which rests
upon the Democracy of Pennsylvania
in the pending contest.
The eyes of the whole nation are
anxiously turned to the Keystone State.
The battle in which we are engaged is
for the vantage ground of the great
presidential contest of next year. The
tide of a mighty popular victory is
rising. It has just swept over Califor
nia, Montana and Maryland, and came
near submerging the Radical fanatics of
Maine in their stronghold. Shall it be
checked in the great conservative State
of Pennsylvania ?
It is for the Democracy to say. A full
poll of our vote will elect Judge Share
wood by a majority of twenty thousand.
Shall such a vote be polled" Reader it
is for /jou, for von as touch as for any
other wan to say. Work, work, WORK
from this hour until sundown on Mee
Lion day, and all will be well.
Supreme Judge
The Democratic candidate for the S
prente Bench is confessedly the able
udge in Pell nsy 1 van ia. Possessed
untiring industry and gifted With supe
rior intellect, he has devoted a long and
laborious life to improvement in that
profession of which he is now a dis
tinguished ornament. Twenty years'
experience at the head of the most Im
portant local Court in the i- 4 titte has
ripgngd his faculties and matured his
judgment. Of unidemished moral char
acter and unspotted integrity, he is in
every respect. the model or a Christian
judge and gentlelliall. Horn iu the
Commonwealth mid developed by its
institutions, he is a 1111111 of \Omni Penn
sylvanians May Well la proud.
His opponentsas, , 44:, two renSOlis why
he should not be elected. First, be
cause, iu the language or the lladica
Conventiou at Williamsport, " the Su
preme Court should he placed in har
mony with the political opinions of a
majority of the people." This must
mean, either that the judges should be
politicians, or that. they should consult
the wishes of the majority in some of
their decisions. Either alternative
would be fatal to the independence of
the judiciary and the safety 01 the peo
ple. The very circumstance that a
partizan Convention, now for the first
time in our history, dares to proclaim
such a motive for the nomination of a
judge of the Court of last resort,-should
condemn its candidate to hopeless de
feat. When judges decide according to
the wislies of majorities, they should
have town meetings juries. Every
citizen who has any regard for law,
justice or decency should contribute to
rebuke this shameless announcement.
The second objection to Judge tShars-
WOOlt is, that he decided that a contract
to pay a debt in gold should be fulfilled
in gold. Who doubts the justice of that
decision ? T. m. this very day a citizen
should lend nis neighbor a hundred
dollars in gold, to be returned in gold,
and the debtor should liquidate the
claim in greenbacks, the unanimous
voice of society would denounce the
latter aS a scoundrel. The principal of
this decision lies at the root of the pub•
lie credit of the Cuited states. If it is
right for au individual to pay in paper
when he has contracted to pay in gold,
it is right for the Government to do the
same. We arta willing to refer this ob
jection to the public creditors. If they
repudiate Judge til u u•.swood's doctrine,
they will surely not complain if the
people should repudiate the features of
their bonds, which requires payment
lug old and not in paper.

which is perfectly descriptive of him.
At the Hans Graf meeting in this
county he expressed a desire to be called
Hans W. Geary. We did not know at
the time what the W. in his name stood
for, but an honest German, who knows
him well, informs us that it stands for
" Worst," Hans Worst Geary. That is
the very name for him. He is a Haus

TEE MUMMER BILLS
There is no doubt about the intention
to force negro equality upon Pennsyl
vania by Congressional enactment.
The Harrisburg 2'clegraph, Forney's
Press, the Philadelphia North Ameri
can, the Pittsburg Gazette, and a vast
majority of the Itei,ublican papers of the
rural districts openly advocate It, while
not a single paper which sustains Judge

White men of Pennsylvania, remem
ber that Congress will pass that bill so
surely as Henry W. Williams is elected.
He stands pledged to enforce it. You
can only prevent negro equality from
being immediately forced upon you by
giving an imposing, majority for Judge
Sharswood. Will you do that. You
can, if you will. Let not a single vote
be left un polled on next Tuesday, and
this diabolical scheme of the Radicals
will be effectually thwarted. See your

sacred, by his love for republican insti
tutions, and by his pride of race to vote

lic expenditures, more than half of the
money expended upon the war might
have been readily saved to the country.
With care and honesty the amount that
has been applied to the reduction of the
debt since the close of the war might
have been more than doubled. And
with care and honesty, if now intro
duced, the reduction of the debt might
be continued, and the taxes that con
sume the substance of the people might
be almost entirely removed.
Nothing has ever been read or written
that will compare with the burthens of
our people. Taxed on their property at
the rate of a respectable rental, they are
moreover taxed at an average of nearly
one hundred per cent. on every thing
they eat, drink, wear and use. Every
operation of industry, every branch and
transaction of business, every move-
went of production arid consumption,
is taxed again and again. Foreign arti
cles are taxed by the tr, and domestic
articles through the else. Tax gath
erers swarm over the land and investi
gate every man's business atrd estate.
And after all the special taxes have
been abstracted the whole substance of
the country is again sponged with the
eneral tax of a depreciated currency
In England, France and even degraded
Austria, the taxes are not half so bur
densome as they are in the United States
of America.
In the present period of peace the
people of this country are subjected to
heavier taxation than ever oppressed
the people of Great Britain in time of
war. The ordinary expenses of our
government. exceed those of any other
government in the world, though most
of them maintain the expensive pa
geants of royalty, and some of them
number their standing armies by mil
lions. Do not these facts demand the
attention and scrutiny of our people'
Should they not inquire why it is tha
the Federal liovernmeut now annually
expends more than Two Ilandrcd as
F,fty Million:3 of dollars apart from the
interestenn the National debt? Especi-
ally when it is remembered that the
whole expenses of the government be-
fore the , war amounted to but Sixty
Millions per annum.
Without going over tie whole budget,
it may be curious to examine a few
items of the national expenditures. The
estimate of the War Department alony
for the current year is Forty-Seven
Millions, without reference to the In
dian War, which is suspected to have
been brought about by and for .I.l..idical
contractors and speculators, and will
swell the item to more than a hundred
Millions. Why should the War Depart
ment cost :',S-17,000,000 In time of peace?
The answer is found ill tile military'
government of the South, the expenses
of the satraps :Ind their courts, the offi
cers required to register the negroes for
suffrage, and the standing army neces
sary to keep the Whites in subjection to
the blacks. An additional expense of
Fifteen is incurred by the
Freedmen's Bureau, for the purpose of
supporting twit educating the embryo
colored sovereigns of the rising African
Commonwealths. Millions more are
expended in registering the sable citi
zens, so that each may be duly qualified
to deposit his " Broad Axe" in the
ballot box. We are not advised of the
cost of the Bureau of Military Justice,
and other despotic contrivances of the
Radicals, but doubt not that they, too,
may be charged with Millions.
The Fedyral Treasury is not merely
drained by these rivers of extravagance,
but every rill of expenditu.e is swollen
with corruption. Members of Congress
not only vote themselves S.s,onn a year,
equivalent to ,z 1) for every days' ser
vice, and mileage amounting to fortunes
besides, but plunder the Treasury for
pocket knives, scissors, kid gloves,
articles of perfumery, &e., by the
dozen apieec. The contingent expenses
of the Senate and lions° are thus run
up to millions. The salaries of the
petty officers of the army and navy are
kept at war figures, and the pay of
lieutenants is counted by thousand,.
Revenue ~Ricers , in. , pectors, clerks in
departments and detectives are paid on
the same extravagant scale. l'ongress
seems anxious to divert attention from
its own pilferings by allowing every
one else to pilfer. Congressional and
government contracts are distributed
as bonuses to partisans, and Radical
newspapers are supported by Congres
sional subscriptions and advertise
ments. Hundreds of thousands of dol
lars are expended in the capture and
trial of a man l~urrattl who is pro
noub...ed innocent by too-thirds of an
impartial jury. And here be it under
stood that we excuse nothing in the
Executive branch of the government,
for the President, his Cabinet and office
holders, although not Radicals, are al
most entirely Republicans.
How long will the people tolerate
these gigantic and trifling abuses, this
grand and petty larceny? Thus far the
public has been dumb as a sheep in the
hands of the shearers. The shibboleth
of /p/(0,./ Lay been sufficient to silence
obh,crth,b, nod excuse every offence.
But the patient public is at last begin
ning to suffer, the shears that once
clipped wool are now d,rawing blood,

the sheep threatens to become a wolf to
the shearers. flay it turn and rend

Absent on Election Thu
Not a few Democrats in this city and
elsewhere lose their votes by being ab
sent on election day. Numbers are at
work outside of their district and find It
difficult to be at home on Tuesday.
This is a matter that must be attended
to at the coming election. so Democrat
can afford to absent himself. The issues
are too momentous to permit it. Let
every Democratic voter make arrange•
melds to be at home in time to vote.
Reader, if you know one likely to be
absent see him and urge home upon
him the imperative importance of
voting. Remember every vote is needed
to ensure the victory which a full poll
will unquestionably give us.
Negroes in the Public Schools.
In certain districts of Ohio the Radi
cals have recently forced negroes into
the public schools. An attempt was
made to do the same thing in Philadel-
Phia, last winter. The party which
gives the negro superior privileges on
the railroads in this State will not rest
until they make a similar distinction
in favor of negro children iu the public
schools. They can only he checked in
their fanaticism by a defeat at the polls.

The Candidate of the Repudiators.
The city of Pittsburg and county of
Allegheny are disgraced by more rank
and recent Repudiation than any other
localities in the country. The history
of the affair is briefly this: Some fit•
teen or twenty years ago Pittsburg and
Allegheny county were seized by the
then prevailing spirit of enterprise and
improvement, and commenced the con
struction of a number of railroads au
signed to benefit the city and county,
Under the authority of legislation pro•
cured for the purpose, the Councils of
the city and Commissioners of the coun •
ty subscribed large amounts to the stock
of these railroads, and issued the bonds
of the city and county in payment of
their subscriptions. The great wealth
and resources of the city and county
•endeted these bonds a favorite Invest
tlent with all classes of persons, and
hey were negotiated everywhere
throughout the State and country.
:llost of the railroads thus constructed
roved unprofitable and many of them
worthless. The people of Pittsburg and
Allegheny thereupon refused to pay the
interest on their bonds, and repudiated
them in foto, Various pretexts, were
assigned fur this course, such as, that
the bonds were Issued without suftlebmt
authority, that they were unduly no•
gotiated, that the money obtained for
them was not properly applied. &e., &c.
Suits were then commenced by the
bondholders in the State and Federal
Courts, wherd all the defences, were
thoroughly investigated and tried, and
u every instance judgement was ren
ered against the city and county. Bu,
nstead of erasing after trial, the resist
ance of the people of Pittsburg and Al
legheny became more stubborn that
Reptaliation Was avowed, pro
claimed and justified ; anti debt tickets
were nominated and elected by the
dominant (Republican) party, and pub
lic meetings were held to oppose and
denounce the payment of the bonds.
The Courts issued process to compel the
city and county authorities to provide
for the interest, the Councils and Com
missioners resisted, and the Courts fined
and imppisoned them. The sullen au
thorities went to.' ail rather than subunit.
At last the interest was wrung from
them; but the bondholders found it
necessary to repeat their suits and pro
cess for every instalment that accrued.
This became so irksome and expensive
that the bondholders eventually coin-
promised with the people of the city
and county, by releasing about one
third of the claims, and accepting city
and county bonds for the remaining
two-thirds. That is, after the cases
were tried by the Courts and every
question decided, Pittsburg and Alle
gheny, by disobedience of law and fiat
rcbellion, forced their creditors to aban
don one-third of the debts.
But one newspaper in Pittsburg o
posed these disgraceful proceedings, the
Democratic l'o 1, and none but Deino
orals sustainer' riat paper in its course.
At this time 11 ory W. Williams was a
prominent lawer and citizen of Pitts
burg, and never publicly wrote or spoke
a word against Repudiation ; and if he
did not approve, lie dared not condemn
it. Shortly afterwards lie was elected
by this community of Repudiators,
Judgeof the District Court of Allegheny
County. Does any one believe that
could have been elected to that post, if
he had even been suspected of hostility
to repudiation? And this year he was
nominated for Judge of the Supreme
Court by the strenuous support and ex
ertions of the same set of Pittsburg and
Allegheny Repudiators. His popularity
among them shows that there could
have been no recent and open differ
ence of opinion between him and them
on so vital a subject as resistance to the
City and County debts. While, there
fore, we do not exactly say that Judge
Williams was himself a Repudiator, we
think the facts before us amply justify
us in styling him the CANDIDATE IF
THU REPUDIAThIiti.
How to Pay the Public Debt
It is admitted that the public debt
will be increased instead of being di
minished during Ole present year. The
enormous rate of taxation under which
the laud groans will not furnish money
enough to pay the interest and to meet
the extravagant appropriations of Con
gress. If that is to go on, repudiation
is only a question of time, and the time
required to bring it about will lie very
short. The debt eau only be pail by
eilbeting a complete revolution in po
litical and financial affairs.
The thieves who have been plunder

meta must be reduced to one huudret

To do that the Freedmen's Bureau
must; be abolished; the military des
potism set up iu the South must be
done away with ; the armies employed
to register negro voters must be dis
banded ; the multitude of official
parasites 'now hanging on the Treasury
must be cut ofrand compelled to betake
themselves to honest labor; the whites
of the South must be freed from the
galling letters of negro domination;
the industry of that great and rich sec
tion must he fostered and encouraged ;
and a complete change in both the
political and financial policy of the
nation must be speedily made.
If the holders of United States bonds
are not perfectly blind, and stupid be
yond comprehension, they will lie
found uniting with us in an effort to
bring about the necessary change.
'tiny' may rrlli,e to ilo so, but in the
end they will lied that their folly has
cost themselves and the nation very
dear.
IN a Radical procession in St. Louis
a few nights since, a banner walpromb

NOT A soldier is needed in the South
for any honest purpose, and yet the
Radicals expend forty millions per year
as the cost of the War Department in
that section. This is one of the taxes
fastened upon the labor and industry of
the nation by the Radical party. The
\Villiatnsport enliven iioll endorsed this
needless use of the public money, and
if the nominee of that body is elected,
the march of corruption and profligacy
will be still more rapid. Those in favor
of retrenchment, economy and reform
must act with the Democratic party this
fall.
FLATE to borrrow ; contract to pay.
This Is the radical party policy. They
inflated the currency until it was worth
but forty or fifty cents on a dollar in
gold and then created the debt. They
now propose to contract the currency
until it is at par with gold, and then
pay their creditors with it. Is not this
a beautiful arrangement for the people?
Will they not insist that a debt created
in inflation shall be paid by inflation ;
and that when we have paid the debt it
will be time to contract the currency
and approach the specie basis.
Negroes la the Railroad Cars.
The Radical majority of the last cor
rupt Legislature were so anxious to
show their disposition to put white
men and% negroes on au equality, that
they oven went so far as to confer su
perior privileges upon. the inferior race.
They passed a law making it a criminal
offense focax railroad Okla' to at
tempt to p nt a negro from occupy
ing any seat in any car ho may select.
When this ollimmive bill was under
consideration in the Senate, Mr. Wal
lace (Democrat) moved to amend by
changing the section so as to allow col
ored persons to occupy seats at the cnd
of the cars. Mr. W. held that the duty
of the corporation was done when it
furnished comfortable seats, and hold
further, that the colored persons had no
right to intrude themselves upon the
seats devoted to white persons. The
amendment of Mr. Wallace was lost by
a party vote of IS Radicals to 13 Demo
crats.
Searight, (Democrat) offered an
amendment releasing the penalty in

rate ears for colored persons, or separate
seats at t h e end of the car. Lost, by a
party vote of 18 Radicals to 1:; Demo
crats.
Mr. Wallace further ollerea the fol
lowing, Provided, That notl.l ug herein
contained shall he COLlStruled to compel
the admission of negroes into the berths
in sleeping ears, or to punish any one
for the exclusion of persons of color
from cars set apart for the use of ladies.
Lost by a party cot; of 17 Radicals to 13
Democrats.
It will be seen from this that the
Democrats were willing that railroad
companies should be required to pro
vide separate cars for negroes, or sepa
rate seats at the end of cars, but this
did not suit the Radicals, for it did not
compel the whites to sit aside of and
keep company with the negroes.
Under this bill niggers have the right
to sit in the same seat with white men
and women, to sit in ears set apart for
ladies alone, and to go into the same
berths in sleeping cars with white men
and women.
This is a fair specimen of Radical li g
slation. The negroee in this State fully
expect the time to arrive very speedily,
when they shall not only vote, but sit
on juries anti exercise all the other
privileges of white mem The darkies
are not slow to claim the benefit of tl.e

negro was on the plattorm carpet hag in

negro in a gruff and surly voice.

The Union Parts " So Called."
The Radical disunionists, all the des
picable traitors who are banded to
gether to keep the Union divided so
that they may continue to plunder the
public treasury and Mob enormous
sums of money from the hard earnings
o f th e toiling masses, call themselves
Union [nun. The term is popular, and
it Is part of the livery of Heaven which
the Republican party has stolen to
serve the Devil in. The name has been
used as a shield to cover the most infa
mous political rascality that ever ilis•
graced any. party or ruined any nation.
The word Union is a holy one, but it is
as much out of place in connection with
the Republican party of today as the
word saint would be If applied to the
very devil himself.
WHEN Bill Kelley, who is now stump
ing in Ohio, gets through with his con

to get up another riot. He will have
the whole matter so arranged that he
can escape by the rear without any dan
ger to his precious carcass, and will
again appear in the role of a would be

A great feature of the Republican
mass meetings in the Western Reserve
of Ohio is the constant presence of ne
groes in the processions. They march in
iu delegations, and carry banners with
inscriptions demanding the ballot and
entire political and social equality. The
fanatics of that section do not dodge the
real issues, as they do In Pennsylvania.

Negro Suffrage In New York
The Republicans or NOV York are
more honest than their brethren of
Pennsylvania. They are not afraid to
say just where they stand on the ques
tion of negro suffrage. The Constitu
tional Convention have inserted a clause
granting the right to every negro ill the
Mate. At the State Convention which
met on Wednesday the following reso
lutions were adopted as the first planks
ill the platform :

The Nov York Radicals

of some months, has adjourned over

firecley fought against this, and In
sisted that the work could easily be
finished in time for its submission to
the people at the coining election. Thy
Radical majority have, however, been
so badly frightened by the result of the
election in California and Maine that
they feared both the new Constitution
and the State ticket would be lost If
submitted now. Hence the adjourn
ment. It is a virtual confession that
the Democracy will carry the State In
November. The guilt reaction has set
in with a force that is acknowledged to
be irresistable.
The Prospect In Ohlo.
All the intelligence we can gather
from Ohio leads us to believe that the
negro suffrage amendment will be de•
feuted, a Democratic Legislature elected,
and that it Is not at all impossible that
we way secure the Governor. Such
news should cheer ever Democrat in
Pennsylvania to renewed exertion.
THE New York Tribune, recently de
nounced the honest Germans of Penn"
sylvania as "the school-hating, rum
loving breed of low Dutch." The
Tribune is the leading Republican paper
of the country, and it Is anxiously
urging the election of Judge Williams.
Will the Germans of Lancaster county
vote for the Tribune's candidate?
