This is tho sentiment he expressed SEPTEMBER 20, 1880, in answer to an invitation to visit the PITTSBURO UX POSITION. In that answer GENERAL HANCOCK said: ".•la a Pennsylvanian I hate the just pride felt by my fellow-citizens in exhibiting the capacity of our mills and looms, shops, fields and mines, and I may be permitted to express my pride in my native State, and my interest in all that concerns her welfare, and the prosperity and happiness of all her people.''

ALREADY, says the Washington Post, the campaign of Grant for 1884 has taken tangible shape. At a Republican meeting in New York on I Wednesday night, as General Grant made an unexpected appearance on the stage, one of his toadies shouted •'1884," and a hundred or more im perialists cheered lustily. The affair, although seeming impromptu,has very much the appearance of that im promptu enthusiasm for Grant and a third term, which was laboriously worked up for six or eight months be fore the "strong man" was temporarily suppressed at Chicago. There is not a shadow of doubt that General Grant and his co-workers mean business. They intend to put Grant into the White House in 1884, and all their efforts for Garfield are made with the understanding that his administration, if he is elected, shall be so managed as to make the succession of Grant as easy as possible. We need go hack only five months to find, in the ablest and most conservative Republican newspa|>ers, the assertion that a third term of Grant means life tenure for Grant and a scion of his house to follow him. A vote for Garfield will be a vote for this delectable programme. How many decent men want any of it? ' DEMOCRATS, don't fail to come to Rellefonte TO-MORROW and hear the accomplished United States Sen ator from Maryland, Wm. Pinck ney Whyte. He is one of the greatest orators of the country.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 21. To the Pernor racy of Pennsylvania : Democracy means the rule of the people. Its founder recognized and en forced the dignity and power of the in dividual citizen, of individual thought, control and government as the essence of republican liberty. Imperialism, office-holding oligarchy, corporate dic tation, the rule of money by the em ployer over the employe, are all at war with our creed, our traditions and our rule. I ntimidation and every form of coercion and corruption, and every form of bribery of the voter are all at variance with the genius and the letter of our Constitution and laws, State and Federal, and we will see that such offenses are punished. The Democratic party is largely composed of the industrial classes and must therefore represent their interests and rights. To-day many of the cor porations, the wealthy manufacturers, the great iron masters, are attempting to debauch them with their money or to coerce them with their power. They threaten to take the bread out of their mouths, to starve their wives anil children unless they vote as employers dictate. We address them. Can you permit this tyranny and still claim to be freemen? Are you slaves because you labor for your daily bread ? Must you surrender the right to a free bal lot to obtaii) the right to work ? When that day comes it will be a fatal day for you and your liberties. Let the overseers of corporations and rnanu- ; facturers drive you to the polls to vote , as they dictate, let their candidate be chosen by your craven submission, and you surrender that equality which is the chief glory of American citizen ship. What is the remedy ? Simple, plain, i easy, for brave men. Assert your ! rights. Vote as you please. I/t wealth ; know that your labor is your capital and that your ballot must represent it. Their candidate is on one side only— j the side of capital. He is for free j trade in merchandise and in men, and j is the enemy of your interests. He 1 wants Clnnamen to come here and take your places if you complain, or to work bv your side for a pittance if you submit. He has said so over his own hand and by his votes in < 'ougress. Our candidate is (ieneral Hancock who shed his blood for you in defense ! of the country. He is the representa tive of all the people. He is your ; representative because his faith is your faith. He has said over his hand that 1 he is in favor of protection to Ameri- | can industry. He will be the zealous j guardian of capitnl and labor if you ' elect him president. Trust your friends, not your enemies. Htand by the men who stand by you. I>o not be dc- ' ceived or frightened. Vote as your conscience may dictate. Do this and we will win. We have a majority of the people of the republic and if they vote their votes will be counted and Hancock will be elected and inaugu rated President of the United A. H. DILL, Chairman. GBORGB W. AIM., the largest iron manufacturer of the Cumberland Val ley, endorses the letter of Henry Mc- Cormick, which we published in our last issue. Mr. Alii is also an earnest advocate of the election of the great Pennsylvania!], of unsullied record and fearless patriotism,Oeu. Hancock. These intelligent manufacturers could not be deceived by Republican clamor to support the pretensions of the free trader of Ohio—the advocate of cheap Chinese labor, for the Presidency. •STAND by tho whole Democratic ticket! Every name on it is worthy of and entitled to the support of the entire party. We understand that Republicans arc already offering to trade in the hope of electing some |rt of their ticket in that way. Democrats, do not listen to their in sidious offers. Vote for your own men! JOHN P. HARRIS and William J. Thompson are not the men whom the Democrats of Centre county want as their representatives at Harrisburg. THE election of Gen. Garfield IS ad vocated in tlie West, mainly because lie is a free trader. Leading journals of the country in the interest, of the free trade system support hiiu for the same reason. They are right in doing so because it is the doctrine of the Republican party in the West, and they have the clear Congressional record of their candidate proclaimed boldly and repeatedly that he is in full accord with them. Rut where does it place the Republican party in Pennsylvania? They here advocate his election in the interest of a protec tive tariff'. Who arc deceiving the people? Certainly not the West. They have the declarations of Mr. Garfield in no uncertain sound to justify then). He has given nothing to Pennsylvania to indicate favor of a protective tariff", and the conclusion is irresistible that the Republicans of the State are hypo critical and insincere with those who favor protection, without even a "per sonal and confidential" to justify the deception. This tariff fraud has about run its race, East and West. Han cock will be elected President, when a revenue tariff which will afford ample protection to business and labor, will be so arranged under judi cious and intelligent compromise as to eliminate the question from the mis erable demogoguery of partisan con flict. When this is accomplished, which is the mission of the Democratic party now supporting the great Penn sylvania candidate for President, sta bility will be given and with it all the protection needed to foster trade and manufactures for many years to come, until at least the great national debt is obliterated. Such a result should receive the prayers instead of the curses of all honest friends of the great manufacturing and labor inter ests. The frequent agitation of the tariff question in partisan conflicts, has ever been the bane and curse of the business interests of the country. THE telegrams of Chairman Jewell of the Republican National Commit tee, which accidently came into the possession of Chairman Itarnum, af fords a complete exposure of the Re publican scheme to colonize voters in Florida for the purpose of carrying that State by fraudulent means for Garfield. Four years ago Florida was stolen bv the frauds of n villain ous returning board ; this year an ef fort is made to steal it by frauds at the ballot box. Rut, " forewarned is to l>e forearmed." SIMON R. CONOVEK, the Republican candidate of Florida, is charged with embezzling the public funds while State Treasurer. In this age of fraud and fraudulent officials, such a charge is of small weight. When a man may help to steal the Presidential office, sell his ofticinl position for ami receive bribes in shape of stocks and still remain the idol of his party, it is not worth while to go after potty thieves like Conovcr. Cot,. WALKER, the Superintendent of the Census, ought to apply his test of accuracy to Indiana and Ohio. The votes in the late elections in some dis tricts largely exceeded the numl>cr of male iuhabitauts over the age of 21 years, as returned by the census. Either the census returns are inac curate or there was a very large im portation of rogues into these States. GRANT and Conkling and our I)ou bargained, at Mentor, for the succes sion to Garfield in 1884. Hancock and the Democracy may meddle in the arrangement and prevent the de livery of the goods, and thus prevent the crowning of Ulysses the Ist at Washington. "THREE cheers for Ulysses S. Grant, our next King," was heard in a Re publican procession in New York, and received the cheers of the virtuous crowd, who vote to endorse the Fraud of 1876. DEMOCRATS, when you go to the election on next Tuesday, do not for get Thomas H. Murray's infamous in sult to Gen. Huncock. Resent it hv ycur votes. THE Democrats of Centre county do not wish to be misrepresented in the Htate legislature. Consequently they will not vote for Harris and Thomp son. A VOTE for William C. Heinle for District Attorney, will bo a compli ment to a must worthy and deserving young man. WORKINGMEN, READ. Troin I In. Nw York "Truth" (I ml.) Oclobur iff, IHhO" Garfield's Death Warrant.

Garfield voted for Free Trade in salt. Garfield voted twice to impose a heavy tax on tea and coffee, and also for a tax on knowledge, in supi>orting prohibitory duties on paper ami print ing material. Garfield thus voted to tax the min er's cup of tea or coffee and his school books, but voted to let in British mined coal free of duty. Garfield voted to reduce the duty on pig iron in 1870, from f'.t to $7 per ton, and in 1872 for a further reduction of seventy cents per ton.

The Huntingdon News says sn aged woman named Mrs. Mary McCahan, who resides near Cornpropst'a Mills, met with a strange and fatal accident on Monday afternoon of last week. -She had gone to a neighboring orchard for the purpose of gathering apples, and while stooping down to pick some of the fruit a vicious ram that was in the field plunged with great force against her, knocking her on the head with its horns, and rendering her insensible. Before assistance arrived the animal broke five ribs on the left side of her body, and one rib on the right side. Both horns made impressions in the skull horisontally with the woman's eyes.

Fortunately for the manufacturers and the material interests of the coun try generally, a Democratic national House of Representatives was elected in 1874, but were not able to enact leg islation till the winter of 1875-76. As soon as the Democrats were in power in the House they reduced the public expenses between $.'10,1)00,000 and $40,000,000 a year, against the votes and protests of the Republican Senate and nine tenths of the Republi cans of the House. Times began to improve, and the re sumption of specie payments was ren dered possible Without any shock to the finances. Democratic success made it possible to place the public bonds at four per cent. Five sessions of Congress have passed since the Democrats have come into power. The publio expenses and the publio debt have been steadily reduced —no change has been made in the tariff to the detriment of the menufec. luring interests; on the contrary, mm ufacturers admit that their buainesn j, more prosperous than ever; and all this under Democratic rule, Gat field i a member of the English " Cobrt-*nee of Giving Attention to the Growth of Woodlands," was read by Professor T.

Two daughters of Joseph Jacobs, formerly a resident of Bradford town ship, Clearfield county, but now residing at Dußois. died on the 14th instant, within twenty minutes of each other. They were aged respectively 11 and 16 years, and the cause of their death was that dreadful disease, diphtheria. Their remains, accompanied by the sorrowing father, were brought to Clearfield on Tuesday of last week, and the two were buried in one grave in the Clearfield cemetery, Mra. Jacobs and another child were lying quite ill at the time of the funeral. Dr. D. R. Good and George M. Briabin, of Osceola, heirs of Dr. Daniel Houtz. were in Huntingdon a few days ago and received the amount of the judgment awarded in the case of D. R. Good, trustee, against 11. H. Shilling ford, of the KitUnninc Coal Company, tried in the Huntingdon oounty court at the November term, 1878. The amount of the verdict was $20,034.25, which, with interest and coats, amount ed to almost $33,000. The verdict was for the price of several hundred tbou sand tons of bituminous coal mined on the lands of the plaintiff in Clearfield oounty. The coats on the docket were $645..55,
