terJay. A number of important measures
were inlroduceci in both bouses and re
ferred. Among tbem are the following
bills: To repress the KuKlux; law for
providing for the callingof u constitutional
convention to bo bold in November, for the
purpose of revising tbe constitution of the
IStulo, or forming a new one; to repeal
an uct giving tbe legul advertising of
tbe State to the Radical newspapers.
A bill was also introduced to repeal all laws
enacted in the years 1865, 1860, 1807 and
1808. This last effort is considered a weak
attempt at burlesque. A bill was intro
duced in tbo Senate to repeal tbe franchise
law. It bus been decided to bring up the
Filtoentb Amendment to day. Tnere will
not be more than twenty members in both
bouses who will vO'e for its rutitication.

Tuesday afternoon.— Daring Hi o after
nooa a large addition wife made totba ar
tlclea for exhibition and importnntuea
made to keep open the entries daring the
whole day. At midday the olouding up of
the weatherldid not add any Inducement to
visitors to go oat. consequently the addition
to the morning quota on the,ground* was
not very numerous; there wae,,however,
quite a sprinkling of our most respectable
citizens, including a four-in-hand team.
The recent rains bad so saturated tbeconrse
that, the effort to. put it in order, it
was not deemed advisable to commence
the trials of speed nntil.three o’clock; by
which time the sun had sufficiently dried
up the moisture to make it iu very fair
condition. During tbe delay a poor scared,
rabbit, which had got into the enclosure,
gave amusement to the spectators, and ex
citement to the boys in aregular hunt—but
pass escaped. 4
Since tbe last fair, additions, both in ex
tent and comfort, in the grand stand and
reporter's gallery, have been made, which
showß that tbe managers are determined
not to omit any necessary arrangement
wherein tbe comfort of the visitors or those
whose business calls tbem there is con
cerned. V
There was but one trottiDg trial in tbe
afternoon, as only one pacer put in appear
ance. First prize for Lancaster county
horses that have not beaten three minutes,
$175 for first horse, 50 for second, and 25 for
third. Best 3 in 5 beats.
A. D. Gyger entered 4 bay horse "John ;”
John B. Kurtz, bay mare “Star Girl;” Paris
Haldeman, bay gelding “Borneo;” Cope
land & Kline, brown geldiDg “George;”
Jacob Kafrotb, black gelding “Blackbird.”
After two ineffectual attempts, at the third
start they got off, not very well together
Borneo took the lead, followed close
Blackbird, who at tbe first half round broke
and was collared and passed by John,George
and tbo Girl in tbe rear. In this way they
stepped over the first half mile, and, al
though Blackbird did his best to give John
the go-by, he broke too often to obtain any
advantage. Romeo went swinging aloDg at
an easy, steady gait, gaining at each stride
and came in an easy winner ; John a bad
second, Blackbird a worse third, George
nearly distanced, and Star Girl entirely
eclipsed. Time 2.50.
SECOND TRIAL.
Romeo and George made an oven start,
Johu and B lack bird close on their quarters.
At the first half round John.wbo bad stolen
a march on George, broke and George again
took second place, but, breaking, lost
it again. At tbe first turn home Romeo
was going it so rapidly that it was he-
lievedrbe would distance the whole of his
competitors, but John, by a hard struggle
saved his score by about three lengths—
Romeo coming in again tbe winner and
George and Blackbird distanced.—
Time 2,48.
THIRD TRIAL,
Previous to this beat many persons, con
ceding that Romeo had it all his own way
and tbe wind becoming unpleasuntly cold,
left the ground; but to tbe surprise ofevery
one this was the most excitiDg trial of tbe
afternoon
Tbo two horses got off even at the second
start, but John, at tbe first half round
broke and soon fell behind ; as soon, bow
ever, as he was down again to bis trot, bis
driver called upon him and he so nobly re
sponded that he quickly, came up to
Romeo’s sulkey, when Romeo broke and
Jobu shot past bim. John kept tbe
lead to the last turn home, when Romeo
was put upon bis metal and at
the distance post reached John, who
then broko and galloped the rest of tbe dis
tance home. Romeo passed him and came
in winner by a leDgth. Time 2.49}.
Along the road to tbe Fair there are any
quantity of the usual accompaniments of
bootbp, to satisfy the ever thirsty Anglo
American, and amusements to please tbo
large and small children, from punching at
a stuffed spring cushion to a ride in the
round abouts. There were not any 'pro
fessionals visible, they having taken up
their quartors in town—probably beftag
aware that the law of Philadelphia con
cerning them has been extended to Lan
caster county.
Wednesday Morning —Tbe weather prov*
eJ a trump card for tbe fair this morning
and right glad were we to see it, on account
of the unremitting,exertions that bad been
used by the management and tbe interest
manifested by the exhibitors. Even at an
early hour this morning there was a mark
ed difference lu the attendance of the visi
tors, and by H o’clock there was so great a
number of persons present as to give an
enlivening appearance to the arena and
promise well for the success of the exhibi
tion. At 11 o’clock the cavalcade took place
and was a splendid sight—such as those who
failed to see it may well regret it.
Since yesterday’s report appeared, there
has been quite an addition to the stock and
articles for exhibition, amongst which are
the following:
Class I.—David M. Mayer, Manheim—
one cow extra. E. A. Kurtz, Ephrata—
.wo Chinese bulls.
Class 2.—W.C. Caulder & Cameron, Dau
phin Co.—a thorough-bred, imported horse.
, Class 3.—Jacob Bushong, Eden—one bay
Class 9.-8. Seymour—3 ducks.
In consequencepf.our space being limited,
from pressure of important matter, we can
not give as elaborate a report of tbe entries
as wo would desire and as w T as our inten
tion, but will endeavor to give the exhib
itors as fair a notice, without preference or
prejudice to any (as we consider this the
province of the judge) and attempt to prove
a guide to the visitors in viewing the stock
and articles on exhibition.
Class 10— Carriages, Wagons, Ac.—ln this
department there are some very splendid
specimens of workmanship entered by
Messrs. Altick, Cox and Edgerlj, of the
city, and D. Miller of West Lampeter.
Class 11 —-Steayn Engines.—Under this
head, in addition to the engines, Root A
Custer exhibit a portable air gas apparatus.
Class Vl—Slours and House Famishing.
Messrs. Flinn A BrenemaD, Geo. M.
Steinrann A Cn., city; Keplemaa A Dick
isoD, Reading, and Jacob King, of Balti
more, vie with each other in the exhibition
of a large assortment of tbe most improved
and useful articles in this class.
Of Class 13 we have already spoken, and
the articles of Agricultural Implements
cannot fail but to excite a lively iuterest.
Class 14.—Amongst the articles of this
class are some of considerable interest for
usefulness, variety and artistic construc
tion.
Class 15.—1 u this department there is a
large and varied assortment of preserved
and spiced fruits of superior quality.
Classes 16 and 19 —As we have before
stued, tbe native wines and fruits of this
department, altbougn not very numerous,
are of the most splendid assortments,
amongst which, without prejudice, we may
maution those of S. S. Spencer, S. Benedict
and Cyrus S. Fox, the latter .exhibitor be
ing from West Chester. The vegetables at
present on exhibition are not very large in
quantity, but tbe quality cannot be sur
passed.
Classes 17 ancflS.— I The specimens on ex.
hibition iu this department will attract the
attention of all housekeepers and the ad
mirers of the delicious and-beautiful.
Class 20 and 21 is poorly represented.
Class 22 has some good specimens of dairy
produce and honey.
Class 23 and 26. Tbe articles in these
classes, of leather manufacture and work
manship are not to be surpassed and re
flect. great credit on our Lancaster mech
anics.
Class 24. The drawings by C. R. Frailey
and the articles of musical instruments,
photographs, paintings, Ac,, by MlssEUie
Barry, Jonathan Good, Thomas Cummings
and John B. Kevinski, will attract partic
ular attention.
Class 25 The sewingjmachines on exhi
bition in this class are, the SiDger, the
Florence, the Eliptic, the Weed, the;Howe,
and Wheeler A Wilson. The specimens of
these machines are attracting very special
attention on account of the elegance, per
fection and variety of the display. Visitors
linger about these specimens very loath to
leave. Wheeler A Wilson have a very
splendid case of specimens.
Class 27 is not very largely represented,
but the specimens will well repay the visi
tor alone for the time and money expended,
as also Class 28.
Class 29 is fast filling ap, and tbe sped
mens will especially interest the lady
housekeepers.
There are two patent gates on exhibition,
which appear to interest both the farmers
and those hiving country seats.
In consequenoe bf the obstruction on the
railroads from thelate freshet Judge Packer
did not arrive at the Fair as anticipated,
which appeared to quite disappoint tbe
crowd collected in the enclosure.
Wednesday Afternoon.—ln consequence
of the continued flue weather throughout
the day, the fair grounds were aliye with
visitors, cm tbfrAfternoanofWednesday,
who continued to arrive jap to the hour of
three o’clock and later, when the Goob Will;
Fire Company of Altoona, now on. a visit,
here, came out In’ ’a",.’body* It was fairly
estimated that thert; could not have been
less than five thousand persons present at
one time, who thronged the halls and en
circled the.raoe course.
In consequencaof the obstruction to travel
on the turnpike and railroads, there was
no alternative bat to keep-open the entries
all day Wednesday-ae many exhibitions
declared tfiat thejr goods and
been detained three days on the road. This,
of course, has added considerable to the ar
ticles on exhibition. * 1
The track which hod been well scraped
lo the morning was In most excellent order
and the trials ol speed were interesting and
exciting to witness.
At as near the hoar appointed, as the
teams cbulit be got together and the drivers
scaled, (145ft>s.) the trials commenced.
The first premium offered ($300) to Lan
caster co. trotters who.bad not beaten two
forty, was divided into three prizes—$175
for the first horse,s9o lor ibe second and $35
for the third —best 3 in 5 beats.
Tbe entries for this trial were—G. C. Eck
ert’s b. m. Bine Bell, Peter Kline’s b. b.
Harry, Mac Gonigle’s b. g. Frank and
W. H. Doble’a b. m. Lizzie Keller—a colt
from the famous Flory mare.
FIRST TRIAL.
At the third start tbe horses got off Lizzy
Keller taking a slight lead, followed close
by Frank, Harry and Bine Bell, At the
turn Frank broke and Harry took second
place, which positions the horses held for
the first half mile. At tbe three quarters
Harry drew on Lizzie and at tbe last torn
home bad come witbin courting distance of
the lady, but her pride would not let him
along aide and she came in winner
by two lengths, Frank a bad third and Bell
a worse fourth.—Time 2 441.
SECOND TRIAL.
At tbe second Btart tbe word “go” was
giveD, when Lizzie again took tbe lead,
Blue Beli second, Harry third and Frank
fourth—wbo broke at tbe first turn. At
tbe first half mile Lizzie was still in tbe
lead with Harry second and Frank leaving
Miss Bell and trotting after Lizzie. At tbe
three quarters Bell got mad at Frank,
jilting her, went past him, and made for
Harry, wbo, in turn, tried to catch Lizzie,
but when near collaring her atUhe distance
post ho broke and Miss Keller again came
in victorious by only two lengths—Frank
and Blue Bell just saving their distance.—
Time 2.4G}.
THIRD TRIAL.
Lizzie Keller again secured about a bead
and neck lead, Harry 2d, Bell 3J, and
Frank 4th. In this way they made tbe Ist
quarter, Bell and Frank challenging for
posisb. At the first half mile score Harry
tried hard to go along side of Lizzie, whilst
Frank and Bell many lengths behind were
running in close company, making it ap
pear like two even races. At the last turn
home Harry did bis best lo take Lizzie by
tbe fore, but she thought bim not tbe coin
ing "feller,” and for the third time stepped
over the course, after a well contested and
exciting race, by about two lengths. Time
2.453. This ended tbe trotting trial.
Tbe pacing prizes were $75 for first horse
$5O for second and $25 for third—best 2 in 3
heats. Tbe entries were—E. H. Kauffman’s
b. h. Tuckehoe, Paris Haldemau’s b. b.
Colonel, Copeland Cline’s b. b. Arkansas,
and J. U. Styer’s b. m. Sallie Winters,
At tbe second start the Colonel took the
lead followed close by Sallie, Tuckehoe and
Arkansas. At tbe first quarter all tbe
horses broke; they came down agaiu
quickly, but at tbe first turn borne tbe
Colonel at tho head of the column broke
ugain and all followed lead. The Colonel
continued in the advance to the last turn
home, when Arkansas went'for him, and,
at the distance post, the Colonel breuking,
Arkansas took the lead and came in first
at a slashing gait. Time 3.05}.
At tbe first turn home Tnckehoo cast a
shoe and drew out, but was not distanced
on that account.
SECOND TRIAL.
Tuckehoe took tbe lead Sallie Winters
the Colonel ana Arkansas following, in tbe
order named. At tbe first quarter Sallie
took first place,Colonel second and Arkan
sas third—Tuckehoe going to the rear
and withdrawing at tbe first turn homo.—
At the first half mile tbe Colonel led off and
Sallie and Arkansas brought up tne rear.
Iu this way they finished the heat, the
Colonel winning by four length?.—Time
THIRD TRIAL.
Sallie got the start, with Arkansas second
and Colonel third. At the first quarter
Arkansas had drawn into first position,but
at the end of the first half mile the
Col. went to the front, Sallie and Arkansas
well up and together. In the second half mile
the Col. still was in the advance and came
in a winner by about five lengths, sallie
and Arkansas trotting a dead heat for sec
ond place. The driver of Sallie complain-
ed that Arkansas fouled him at the lasi
.urn home, but the driver of Arkansas said
it was unintentional whilst try ing to take.the
lead. This led to a dispute, and tbe owner of
Sallie claimed second place or another race
foriit. Cline having won the first heat re-
fused to go, and npon reference to tbe rules
it was found that, “Any horse having won
a heat and running a dead beat iu the la9t
trial with one who has not won a heat, he
shall be entitled to second place;” so the
judges decided in favor of Mr. CliDe for
second prize.
This ended tho days amusements, and
never did sc large a concourse of persons
stay out the whole exciting and interesting
programme with so much apparent satis
faction.
Thursday . —This being the great day of
the Fair a large Bumber of persons were
present even at an early hour. Since yes
terday there has been considerable addition
to the entries in the horticultural and agri
cultural departments. Cyrus T. Fox of
West Cocalico, has entered 62 assortments
of potatoes ol almost all the known varie
ties and a very splendid display they make.
Dr. Muhlenburg has entered for exhibition
two Alderney cows; S. S.. Spencer, one Na
tive cow. In the notice of the handsome
exhibition of Canary birds by Mr. Thomas
Bakes, the types made tbe name Baker. In
the cloths, cassmeres and ready made cloth
ing department we omitted the mention of
the flue display of superior quality of goods
placed on exhibition by Hager Bros, as also
tbe stoves and house furnishing articles,by
Russell, Musselman A Co.
At 10 o'clock the cavalcade was again
brought out under review for tbe judges in
spection, headed by the City Coruet Band,
and paraded round the course, extending a
quarter of a mile in length.
If there may be deemed any failure in tie
want of display it cannot be attributed to
the want of accommodation exhibited by
tbe managers and in the departments, but
must have arisen from a combination of
causes, such as the long drought preventing
earlier plowing and the interruption to the
intercommunication on account of the late
freshet.
At noon there were not less than two
thousand visitors, and as the receipts of
yesterday reached 52,000 there is everj
probability that they will reach four thou
sand to-day, which will somewhat encour
age and repay the management for the
trouble and anxiety they have had in en
deavoring to place the Fair on a sound basis
Thursday Afternoon. —Nothing could
have exceeded the favorable state of the
weather and all circumstances combined to
make this the one great day of the fair.
Before two o’clock tbe park was more
densely crowded with visitors than at any
former exhibition, since and except on the
visit of Gov. Bigler to the State Fair held in
this city seventeen years ago, and by three
o’clock thero were between seven and eight
thousand persons on the ground, filling to
a perfect jam the various halls and encer
oling the course. Amongst so large a con
course of people it was wonderful that so
much good order was preserved and so few
accidentsoceurred. One rowdy endeavored
to get up a muss but his ardor was soon
cooled down. Mr. Eberly and a companion
were thrown out of a buggy while driving
round the course after the races were over
and badly bruised. One man named Krei
der, liviDg, we believe, in E. Lampeter fell
down in an epileptic fit, but a little atten
tion from Dr. EL Carpenter,with the applica
tion of cold water and fresh air, soon restor
ed him to consciousness.
LoDg before the trials of speed commenc
ed all the available aitling room around the
course was occupied to a perfect jam, so that
thousands had to stand or take to “ mother
earth!' for rest. Shortly after two the trials
commenced. The first was for a premium
of 11,000 divided into four prizes, $5OO for
Ist horse, $250 for second, $l5O for third an<L
$lOO for loorth—best 8 in 5 beats.
Tbe competitors were Owen Hopple’s b.
m. Fanny Allen, W. H. Doble’s b. g. Hot
spur, and Jaoob Leaman’s Jersey Boy.
I FIRST TRIAL.
At the thirdJstart they got off, Hotspur
having * Wight lead, followJd by Sumy

SECOND TRIAL.
Fanny Allen got off with the lead; at the
third start, followed olobb by Hotapnr and
tbe Jersey Boy.. At tbe ftrat .quarter Hot
spar went to tbe foreand kept itlhefirst
half mile, Fanny at that >llme being up-’to
bis wheel. At the last torn home Hotspur
was so closely pushed by Fanny as to make
it ah exciting and doubtful beat; hat at the
distance poat Fanny broke and. Hotspur
came In again winner by three lengths.
Time 2.29.
THIRD TRIAL.
Hotspur.and Fanny Allen got off even,
the Boy close up. At the quarter mile
Hotspnr drew a trifle ahead, but Fanny
was soon up even again. At the first half
mile soore Hotspur lead only half a length
and in this way they traveled to the three
quarters, where Fanny broke and at the
last tnm home Hotspur was two lengths
ahead; but on the home stretch Fanny

.Friday.—The morniDg opened fine, bright
and war id, and, although the attendance up
to noon was not to be compared to that of
ihe great day, there was a fair sprinkling of
visitors on the grounds up to that time,
which, as there was to be an interesting
trotting trial in theaiternoon, would doubt
less be very considerably augmented before
the day closed. During the trial trips of the
horses this morning, around the course,
“Lizzie Keller” came nigh meeting with a
serious accident, through a young man
driving across the course directly in trout of
the horses while at their full speed. As
it was Mr. Doble succeeded in pulling the
mare up on her haunches whilst her fore
feet touched the topot the tire of the young
man’s wagon wheel, by which she grazed
nerseif slightly, but not to injure her as
much as to prevent her going in the after
noon trials. The awards of the J udges on

admitted obtaining the passes from Elmer
Good, an € mploy ee of the road, and the lat
ter when consulted about the matter, con
fessed that he tore them out of a book in the
office of the Company. He further stated
that Mrs. Ginney, with whom he boarded,
filled up the passes and signed Mr. Lav
erty’s name from a genuine signature
on an old pass. Special detective offl
cer Carlin, testified that Mr. Adams
called upon him and made a statement
to the effect that he got the passes from
Goud, that after the first pass was taken up,
two other passes were carried and eold to
him by an unknown party. This, the offi
cer said was done that he might swear to
.receiving them from a person unknown,
and thus shield Mr. Good. Mr. Foust
stated that be did not know the passes were
forgeries, for he accompanied his wife to
Lancaster, and presented one in payment
for fare. Mr. Adama also stated that he
did not know the passes were bogus. Good
was bound over in the sum of $2,000 bail to
answer, the charge of foigery, and Good,
Adams and Foust were held in $l,OOO bail
each, to answer the charge of conspiracy to
cheat and defraud the Pennsylvania Rail

George W. Kendrick Esq., Chairmanjof the
City Executive Committee, on whose mo
tion the followingofficers were unanimous
ly chosen to preside at the Meeting:
President —Dr. Samuel Welchens.
Vice Presidents—William McComsey,
Peter Riley, C. Wm. P. Brin
ton, Abraham Erisman, Cbas. G. Beale,
Bernard Kahlman, Anthony lake, Capt.
H. Bliekenderfer.
Secretaries—Wm. B. Strine, Cbas, H.
Nauman, Wm. A. Anne.
Tbe President of the meeting, Dr. Welch
ena, then introduced to the audience the
speaker or the evening, Col. Jno. F. Bar
rett, of lowa, who delivered one of the
ablest, most convincing and eloqoent ad ;
dresses it has ever been our pleasure to lis
tea to. The addrees occupied in Us delivery
fully two hours’ time, yet all present lis
tened attentively to the speaker, who pos
sesses the rare faculty of beingjentertaining,
and at the same time instructive. Wo were
pleased to see a number of Republicans
among those present, who were apparently
much interested in the remarks of the
gifted speaker, and who will no doubt profit
from the exposure he made of the rascality
of their corrupt leaders. It is impossible
for us in a mere synopsis of Colonel
Barrett’s speech to do it justice, we can
only give a meagre outline of some of
the telling hits made by him, at the
official corruption and gross venality,
which characterizes Radical rule in the
great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The
speakor stated that many persons had sap*
ported the Republican party during the
war,’' ■'t its termination left its ranks
an'* he Democrats because they
kV Democracy meant immediate
recAk traction under the Constitution;
while on the other hand Republicanism
meant that the Southern people should be
kept out of tbe Union until they consented
to vote the Radical ticket. Many Repub
licans would vote the Democratic ticket this
fall, who have hilherto voted the Radical
ticket, because the pledges made to tbe
Nation at the time of Grant’s election to the
Presidency have been broken. The infa
mous system of “gerrymandering” by
which the Radicals have a majority of
members of Congress must render the
Republican leaders contemptible in the
eyes of all fair and hone3t men.—
The Radicals assert that they protect
our citizens when in foreign lands, let
those brave Americans, who have died
in English dungeons and in Cuba for the
libertiesof the oppressed of those countries,
bear witness to tbe falseness of the asser
tion. Col. Barrett next proceededlto show,
in fitting terms, the unconstitutional man
ner in which the Radicals intended to force
the Fifteenth Amendment upon unwilling
States and place the negro upon a political
and social equality with tbe white man.—
The Colonel closed his address with elo
quent appeals to foreigners to stand by the
Democratic party, “the party that stood by
them, when the Know Nothing organiza-
tion threatened their lives and their liber
ties.” The orator was frequently interrupt
ed by loud applause, during the delivery
of his address, and ut its close the Court
House was made to ring again with the
loud cheers of the audience.
At the close of Col. Barrett’s Bpeech, Col.
F. S. Pyfer of Ibis city being called upon,
made a few remarks in which he said he
would confine himself to tbe respective
merits of the candidates for the mayoralty.
“ Desperate efforts are being made by the
Radicals to obtain control of our city gov-
ernment ; since 1866 two special acts have
been passed by the Radical legislators at
Harrisburg with the sole design of defeat
ing the will of a majority of the people of
Lancaster and to throw the government of
the city into the hands of greedy offlee-
oto Tho "Raritf-nls have selected aa ihoir
candidate for Mayor, Mr. William Augus
tus Atlee. Now what has Mr. Wm. Augus
tus Atlee done to entitle him to be elected
Mayor of Lancaster? What right has he
to demand tbe suffrages of Democrats
against that sterling, veteran Democrat,
pure and upright citizen, Mayor Sanderson?
During the late war Mr. Atlee was Chair
man of tbe Executive Committee of the
Union League, in Ibis city, an organization
which—as every Democrat knows—pro
scribed all Democrats and demanded of its
members that they should not be seen on
the streets with Democrats because it was
offensive to loyalty.
But alter while drafting commenced, the
wheel turned rouud and turned out the
name of William Augustus Atlee. Did
William Augustus shoulder his musket
aDd march forth to fight in defense of tbe
principles which he loudly proclaimed to
love so well? Ah! no, William Augustus
paid §l,OOO for a substitute, and afterward
his Ward paid him back §3OO of it; he was ■
willing to fight his country’s battles by ;
proxy, and take §3OO from the Ward in j
which ho lived. I saw William Augustus i
on the streets of this city to-day election- j
eering in his own behalf, soliciting Demo
cratic votes, he was accompanied by bis
chief of staff Jemmy Brady, iwbo was car
rying under his arm a copy of the “ Irish
Republic .” No doubt if Mr. William Au
gustus Allee is elected Mayor, on account
of his professional and business engage
ments, he will be unable himself to dis
charge the duties of that office, but will
appoint as his proxy, his substitute , the va
liant Philip S. Baker, the model Constable
of the Second Ward. Then Mr. Atlee will
be so situated as to ask back from the city
fully §3OO more of the §l,OOO paid by him
as I have said before, during the war, for
a substitute.
Fellow Democrats, we can prevent this;
we have and will continue to have a ma
jority in this good old city of Lancaster.
Let us vote the whole Democratic State,
County and City ticket without a scratch'
Let ns tell Mr. Wnl. Aug. Allee, and his
intended proxy, the redoubtablo Philip S.
Baker, that the Democrats of our city have
not forgotten that they belonged to the
Union League, a secret, oath-bound organi
zation, which proscribed Democrats and
insulted them whenever the opportunity to
do eo presented itself. I trust, therefore,
that you will vote the whole Democratic
t.cket from lop to bottom, and by electing
the honest, upright, intelligent andjpure-
SandersoD.defeat the cher
ished schemes of your Radical opponents,
2 and teach Mr. Wm. Aug. Atlee a lesson he
will not soou forget.”
This speech of Colonel Pyfer e’icited great
app'ause, whilst it was being delivered as
well as at its close, when loud calls were
made for George Nauman Esq. Mr. Nau
-1 man owing to the lateness of the hour ex
-1 cused himself from making a speech, but
made a very felicitous and appropriate
1 quotation from Sbakspeare with reference
to Geary which elicited tremendous ap
* plause. The meeting then adjourned with
' three cheers for Packer, Pershing, and
1 Sanderson, and with three cheers more and
a tiger for the speakers of the evening.

enjoyed without it. And yet how little Is It
valued, and bow carelessly preserved. Tbe
laws of nature canDOt be violated with Impun
ity. Night revelry luxurious living, Irregu
larity of mails, and a disordered appetite, will
gradually destroy the power and activity oi
the stomach. How many ladles and gentle
men eat and drlnkdlseaseat late suppers, and
arise In the morning with headache, loss of
appetite, feeling lananid and anrefreshed.
There can be no medical remedy tbat will
