A forged and fraudulent letter, pur jstrting to come from Mr. Uarr's friends, and mailed in a package from Hun tingdon, appealing for support on re ligious grounds, is being published in the Republican jiapers. It is hardly rcorth while to deny the charge —to sen sible people, but lest some may imagine there is a grain of truth in it —Mr. J). O. Barr authorizes its prompt denial. He is running as a Democrat, as a citizen who feels competent to discharge the duties of the office of State Treasurer. So appeal has gone from him, or by his knowledge or consent, to any one on account of their particular beliej in anything except the Democratic party. THE Greenback party is still in lull , life. Its candidate for Mayor of the the city of Baltimore had 93 votes. 1 u Ohio, it changed its name to "Scat tering," and will probably do so in , Pennsylvania, but the vote in Haiti- j more redeems the party, and maintains its glory. THE Democratic State and County tickets to be voted iri Centre county, on next Tuesday, contain the names oj only three persons: DANIEL O. HARK, for State Treasurer, JoilN SHANNON, for Jury Commissioner, and Dr. JOSEPH ADAMS, for Coroner. Go to the polls, fellow Democrats, un KX ACT JL'MTK'K TO ALL MKN, OR WIIATKVKR STATU OR I'KKM'AMON, UKI.KiIOL'H OR I'OLITU'A L.J. Tho Domocratio Ticket Two tickets will be voted for at the election, on next Tuesday. The one beaded "STATE" will contain the name of our nominee, Daniel (). Barr, for State Treasurer ; the other head ed "COUNTY" the names of John Shannon, for Jury Commissioner, and Joseph Adams, for Coroner. This ticket is printer! as follows: STATE. For State Treasurer, DANIEL O. BARK. COUNTY. For Jury Commissioner, JOHN SHANNON. For Coroner, JOSEPH ADAMS. This ticket must be cut in two pieces and folded so that the wort}* "State" and "County" only appear when it is voted. An election board has no right to receive an open ticket from j a voter. See that your tickets are all right before voting. DEMOCRATS OK CENTRE COUNTY! Turn out, one and alt, on next Tues day, afttl do your duty to your randi- \ dates, your /sirty and your country. You have a great cause to uphold- The ballot is your weapon! Do not fail to use it ! THE colored gentleman, George \V. Williams, elected to the legislature from the Cincinnati district, is indig nant. He volunteered his services for the New York canvass, and was assign ed to a hotel on reaching the scene of bis labor for the radical cause. He is disgusted by being placed in a room immediately under the roof, and re- | red- | ical voters of his party who scratched him at the election because bis com plexion was more clouded than suited their refined ta-tes of manly beauty. DEMOCRATS, do not forget that JOHN SHANNON, that exemplary and intelli gent citizen of I'otter township, is your candidate for Jury Commissioner. .1 vote for him will be a \-ote for a most irorthy man, and will insure good juries in your courts. ATTORNEY GENERAL DEVEN, in an argument the other day before the Su preme Court, made the point that a colored criminal had the right to de mand a jury pf colored men to try him. He was asked from the bench the pertinent question whether an indicted Irishman had the right to de mand a jury of Irishman to try him or a Chinaman a jury of Chinese. The question was a stunner, and DKV en, scarcely equal to the occasion, i preferred the negro question unadul- j j tcratod to the issues raised from the I bench. - DR. JOSEPH ADAMS, of Milesburg, should receive the vote of every Demo crat in Centre county for the office of Coroner. He is an excellent citizen, a consistent Democrat, and has superior qualifications for the position. Vote for him, one and all. THERE was a grand civic and mili tary display on the historic grounds of Yorktown, Va., on the 23d inst., at which Gov. Holliday, of Virginia, and staff"; Gen. Latta, of Pennsylvania; Hon. W. H. Lincoln, of Massachusetts, and Gen. Cameron, of Connecticut, were present and made speeches. The occasion was the celebration of the 98th anniversary of the surrender of the British army uuder ('pro wall is, ou the ground upon which it occurred. There were five companies of artillery from Fortress Monroe, and a large number of military companies from various parts of Virginia in attend ance, with many distinguished per sons, civil and military, who took [tart in the ceremonies. The celebration seems to have been one of great spirit, and was preparatory to the grand centennial anniversary to come tiff in 1881. BELLEFONTK, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER :>, Iktd. The Lono Fisherman Speaks. The fraudulent Vice President, , Wheeler, ate bis dish of crow last week at Ogdensburg, New ork. He said lie opposed iu convention the nomination of Cornell, but he "bowed always to the principle which under lies our form of Government, and j cheerfully accepted the decision of the majority." Not always? He did not accept the principle when lie allowed himself by fraud to occupy the [xisitiuii to which Thomas A. Hendricks was elected by a majority of half a million of the honest votes of the jieople. The only difference is, Wheeler wanted I lend rick's office, ami as fraud was at band to aid bis aspiration, be took it. iu vi olation of "the principle which under lies our form of government." Such declarations from the fraudulent Vice President, prove his mendacity, if not bis down-right hypocrisy. Iu an arti cle on this fulse claim the Washing ton Post forcibly remarks that "When Mr. Evarts provoked the loud and de ' risive laughter of the marine cavalry bv prating about the "righteousuess" j lof the Republican party, he did not tax public tolerance mure severely than does Wm. A. Wheeler when he refers to the underlying principle of our Government, the right of the ma jority to rule, aud claims that he and bis party accept that as their guide. Mr. Wheeler is a living illustration of the falsity ami absurdity of this decla ration. He owe* his prominence as de facto Vice-President of the I nited States to the criminal suppression of the voice of the majority. When he speaks of "bowing always to the prin ciple which underlies our form of gov ernment," he calls loudly for castiga- 1 tiou. It would la- enough to ask of the outraged majority to let the incum bents of stolen offices enjoy the fruits of crime in peace on condition that they Ixar themselves decently. But they must not expect, after nullifying the votes of the majority, ami putting the minority on top, that they can go up and down the country, unquestion ed, ranting and roaring al>out their de votion to the fundamental principles of republican government. One might possibly le disposed to let a modest, well-behaving thief keep stolen gomls, but if, with the goods iu his possession, be were to set up a* a preacher, pro claiming "thou shall not steal," and asserting his devotion to honesty, he would be a most tempting target for brick-bat practice. Not only does Mr. Wheeler know, but he is aware that his audienee and every man and woman in the United States knows, that he was not elected to the office which he holds, but that a majority of the voters and a majori ty of the electoral votes were cast for his opponent. And when he talks of | "bowing always" to the will of the ma jority, he insults that majority in n manner that demands very positive and emphatic rebuke." Every citizen who still believes in n modicum of honesty and fair dealing in politics will say that this abject creature not only deserves a "very |er and nether mill stones of the peo ple's wrath, while (onkliug's puppet ! will go down beneath the withering scorn of uu enlightened public senti ment. I . T JtJDoiNo from the sjieoches deliver ; cl at the Republican meeting* in Phil adelphia, the war lietwccn the North and South is still in active progress. The idea of some people that it was settled some sixteen or seventeen years ago, must tie a mistake, or else Phila delphia politicians are fools or knaves. If the war is really over, it is about time the people of that city would dis cover the fact. It would certainly evince more good sense, taken in a bus iness point of view, to cultivate amity • and good will, than to keep up ani mosity and bitterness, and drive the business of the South to other commer j cial centre*, which will undoubtedly be ' the result, if the Southern people pos sess the spirit they arc credited with. It might Im* advantageous to the business of Philadelphia if the business tnen would retire their demagogues, such as Ben. Harris Brewster, Shaplev, I>eeds, M'Manes, etc., etc. THE Bellefonte Rejiublican does not , hesitate to publish the miserable slan ders concocted by the unscrupulous i treasury ring to keep votes from Mr. Barr. The letter published in that journal this wreck, purporting to have l>een written when Mr. Barr was a candidate for nomination two year* ago, is a bald aud impudent FOR GERY, and has been repeatedly de nounced as such by authority that - cannot tie controverted. The ringstera I are desperate, and ready to resort to r any means, however vile and dis r houest, to accomplish their purpose of i again controlling the money of the i people for their private benefit. The • Repaidiron may have seen the denials . of the. slander it repeats, but that is . nothing. Doubtless the editor thought a lie circulated in the closing days of • tho campaign would serve the purpose - for which it was intended. A Last Appeal. I Wore another issue of the DKM<>- ' KAT appear* the [K'o|ileof Pennsylva nia will IK; called upon to exercise their highest privilege of citizenship, ami we make this last appeal to every Democrat in Centre county to come out to the polls on election day to vote! I)emocrat>, consult with each other, and that no I)etuocralic voter remains at home! Arrange to take i in wagons those who are unable or have too fur to walk. Your cause is good and your cuudidatea worthy of confidence and HUpjsirt. In DAN IEL O. It AUK you have u man who will carefully husband and honestly disburse the moneys of the jeople that shall po*s through his hands. On your county ticket you have those ex cellent and upright citizens, JOHN SHANNON and I)r. JOS. ADAMS. They are entitled to your votes. Make their majorities as large as possible! An earnest ami determined effort is what is wanted! The Republican party that represents fraud, ooncentra' tion of {tower in one great centralized system of government, aud encroach ments upon the liberties of the people aud the reserved rights of the States, deserves eondemuation. It is in your power to administer it oq next Tues day. Embrace the opportunity to do so! Heed, we bepeoohyou, this call? Ax exchange pertinently savs that we shall have a happy condition of affairs in this country, if the officers of the StaW* are to la; arrested, tried, convicted and punished for acts j*r formed in the faithful discharge of their official duties. There can be no mofc im]M*rtant obligations of a State than that of affording all hrr voters — the I iiited **iat<* has no voters —a fair chance to express their w ill through the ballot box. For this purpose all the States provide officials who per fortn their duties under oath. For thus doing they are sought to lie pun ished as criminals, ami the Supreme Court, in the Ohio case, now awaiting decision, is invoked to sanction such punishment. If this sanction of the court of last resort should be obtained —a contingency that we can scarcely regard as possible—we may bid a final adieu to the Government that the fathers founded, for it will have been so changed that they would fail to recognize' it as their handiwork. If the Gc'mal Government e*an step into {tolling place* aud control elections, the party exercising this jtowcr can defy majorities to oust it, and continue its domination indefinite ly. The petwer tet semi any number of {tarti.-an strikers to take charge of the polls, bully the opposition, arrest and letck up voters on a mere allcgn- j tion of a suspicietn, such a {tower is enough to enable any party to hold on to the Government until ejected by brute force. The Supreme Court has never considered weightier matter thnn is involved in the Ohio and Maryland election cases. MRS. IIARKIKT LANE JOHNSON, of Baltimore, ha been on a visit to Mcr ocrsburg, Franklin county, in this State, with a view of purchasing a piece of ground at Cove Gap, near that town, which is known as the birth-place of her uncle, the late cx-President Bu chanan. Her object in the purchase is to erect a monument to the memory of the ex-Proaident on the spot of his na ! tivity. Mrs. Johnson is to be commend ed for this most graceful act, both as to the object and place selected for its accomplishment. No man ever lived who possessed greater reverence for the place of his nativity than the great statesman, and no doubt Mrs. John son, his favorite niece, so closely iden tified with him in his great life, has her inspiration in the selection of this spot to commemorate and perpetuate his memory, in a knowledge of that fact. But whether she has or not, the act is a commendable one, and the place ap propriate, and could not be given to the memory of a better man, or one more deserving of res|iect in life, or more worthy of reverence in death. TKItMN: $lJ>O |h*i-Annum, in Affiance. I' i.i.i/iW i itizknh ! You arc nlout to elect an officer to manage tin- finan cial liu Miies* of tlie State (luring tin; coining two yean*. Daniel O. Rarr, the Democratic candidate, a coruj*"- tent and incorruptible man, slami* upon a plutform which declarer, "that the recent attempt* under the personal direction of ruling ltepubli can leader* to debauch the legislature by wholesale bribery and corruption and take from I lie commonwealth four millions of dullara for which its liability had never been ascertained, in a fresh and alarming evidence of the aggressive nes of cor|>orat pow< r in collusion with political tings, and should receive the signal condemnation of the ]*roplo at the |>olls. ' And "that the present condition of the State treasury, a hank rupt general fund and even school* and charities unable to get the money long since appropriated to their support, is a sufficient illustration of the reckless fi nancial mismanagement of the Repub lican party." HAM RKB lit TI.KII the Republican candidate is the creature of a ring convention, that refused to pa** the following resolution: HfKilrr,!. That in view of the develop. m'TiO of corrupt practice* in connection with th" riot hill in the last House, we eui. phalicaliy reaffirm that part of the plat* form adopted by the Republic an State Con vention at Lancaster, in 1875, and which was re-adopted at the lb-publican Staft Convention at UarrUburg in 1870, which demands "honest men in office, tnen with brain* enough to know dishonesty when they sno it, aiid courste enough Pi"fight it wherever they find it."' Ihe issue here joined is purely a State matter, ami between these two men and the principles they repre sent the people of Pennsylvania must choose. Will you hesitate? On tho one side you have an "honest man, with brains enough to know dishon esty when he sees it, and courage enough to fight it wherever he finds it;" who will be governed by the pub lic interest* in the management of the State finance*, without regard to the profits to IK- divided among party favorites. On the other side you have the representative of a corrupt com bination of politicians who plundered you for years, and are anxious for an opportunity to rej>eat their offence*. Kleet Harr and you can rely upon honest methods. Kleet Rntler and the old system of spoliation will be renewed. ♦ GENERAL NEWS. Yellowr fever is disappearing from Memphis. The present oold snap prevails all over the country. The Monroe Female College, at For syth, Georgia, was destroyed by fire yesterday. Ix, $20,000. Stephen Coodale, aged UP years, has just died at Portsmouth, X. 11. He has been in the poor house forty-t wo year*. I hiring a gale in Cleveland, Ohio, on Thursday, a man was lifted and carried by the wiod forty feet. A case of in voluntary aerial navigation. A tigress escaped from Forepaugh's menagei ie last week in the suburb* of Philadelphia, and in the efforts to cap ture her she was shot dead. Ilenrv S. New. assistant postmaster at Pittsfield, Mass., is charged with tearing fresh stamps from letters and replacing them with canceled ones. Five hundred and fifty men are now employed upon the New York approach es to the Kut river bridge. On an average 90,000 bricks are laid daily. The one hundred and-thirteenth an niversary of the John Street M. K. church, the oldest Methodist church in New York city, wss commemorated in the old church building on Sunday. A farmer residing near F.lvira, lowa, cut a crop of barley from a piece of land in the summer, being unable from lack of help to cut the crop until after it had become so mature that the grain dropped off the stalks in handling it. A second crop sprang up on the stub ble and is now almost ready to harvest, promising a better yield than the first crop. This is a singular fact. A few days since the ladies of Fred crick low n, Ohio, at the ringing of a bell, marched to Kd. Randall's saloon, broke open the door and windows, cracked his detnijobna, spilling the liquors, and completely gutted the place. They afterward visited the saloon in Connor's Hotel and attempted the same perform ance, but the proprietor saved his liquors by agreeing to remove them from the town. Several drug stores were then visited, the proprietors of which closed and barred their doors against the as sailants. A body was found Friday on the shore of lake Michigan, near Miller's station. It baa since been identified, from the description given of it in dispatches by Wm. F, llurr, as the remains of his brother, George Burr, who ascended with Professor Wise in ike balloon Pathfinder three weeks ago last .Sunday. Mr. Burr has telegraphed to have the body properly cared for, and friends left this morning for Milter * Uton to bring it kotue. NO. 11.
