Cossisraicv.—The Argus , sent up
a terrible howl last year when is was
rumored that the County. Treasurer
had withdrawn the deposits from cer
tain banks in the county. It claimed
that the funds should be distributed,
and not confined to one institution.
This same journal now complains be
cause State Treasurer MACKEY does
just what it complained of the Coun
ty Treasurer for not doing: The peo
ple Understand that Mr. Mactix has
given bonds which render the State
entirely safe, and that he has the un
doubted right to deposit the funds
just where he pleases. In regard to
the Sinking Fund, the commissioners
advertise every three months the ex
act Condition of the funds, and call
upon holders of * State bonds to pre
sent the same. If they do not choose
to do so,' the Treasurer cannot com
pel then'. to take the money. Demo
cratic Auditor General TamrLE is a
member of the Sinking Fund Board,
and has certified under oath that the
furids are intact. So the Democrats
will have to invent some other false
hood.
SENATOR SARGENT made a neat lit
tle computation in hiti recent speech
at San Francisco. " Hare you," said
he, " thought, fellow-citizens, that the
reduction of the National debt has
been $l2O a minute since you sat
here and I commenced talking ? Tak
ing the average of the whole time,
the reduction of the debt has gone
on at that rate. Why take your
watch and look at it: See the second
hand as it flies ; at each tick of the
second hand $2 during the whole
time since Ga.txr's inauguration, by
day and by night, npon Weekday
and upon Sunday—s 2 per second in
gold has gone off . the ':National
debt.' "
Tut recently appointed U.S. Treai
urer, Nzw, entered upon the discharge
of his duties on the Ist inst., but,
previous to that time, a count was
Made of the bullion in the treasury.
Upon the completion of the count it
was found that the vaults contained
two dollars and a half over the
amount claimed. For years the De
mocracy have been 'claiming that the
monthly treasury reports have been
" watered," and that the representa
tions were not correct. An: • 'vanilla
tion proves everything more - than
correct, and so it usually is with Re
publican officials.

are correct.
And now comes along the last with
peas in the MprioeritieConnnitteie of
last winter's fronse:. These' &ap
pointed seekers after political bun,
combe report that "if, as is alleged
frauds were perpetrated, no monu
ments have been erected to mark
their existence, or aid in. their -dis
covery." Lacking the manhood to
simply declare that they had failed
to find any evinenoes of fraud, they
are L compelled, in order to carry out
the programme and design of their
appointment and make a decent. ap
pearance before their party, to make
this admission,' a c companied with a
mean insinuation that they are unit
ble to support with evidence. This
was wrung from them alter four
months of investigation, during two
.nths of which time they lad corn

And yet, the Argue and ► few oth
er Bourbon papres contin ue to floun
der around in a sea of uncertain and
indefinite charges about defalcations,
robberies and losses. Their senseless
and ignorant clamor about a • matter
which they, are either too ignorant to
understand, or too dishonest to ex
plain in a candid. manner to their
readers, instead of assisting their
cause, is , disgusting the fair-minded
and intelligeht voter, and "
,raising a
false issue which they know well
enough must recoil upon the Democ=
racy of the . State." Give facts or
cease your raiings. Your surmiele
have their foundation in partisan
zeal; and desire for party victory and
the spoils of office has destroyed your
sense of duty, and every element of
decency. !
IF THE premises assumed in the
following paragraph which we copy
from the Waverly Enteprise are cor
rect, the conclusions are certainly
sound and Weal. Every man who
holds a poSition under the govern
ment is specially bound to be earnest
and active in advocating and advanc
ing the interests of the party:
" But few of the Republican office,
holders manifest any desire for the
success of the party, or the triumph
of its principlestheyond that which
will contribute to their own personal
aggrandizement. The administratien
elected by the Republican party fur
nished them the bread they eat—and
yet, they will do nothing, absolutely
nothing for the success of the party.
If the Republican party is to, ever
again achieve success, its representa
tive men,,the men who now live on
its bounty and fatten on its spoils
must manifest more enterprise, more
zeal, more determination, They must
learn that the offices were not given
them for their own good, but for the
good of the party. The high offices
and fat salaries were not created for
their enjoyment, 'but for the party,
and if they do not promote that suc
cess—if they do not use their places
for the benefit of the party,_they will
be asked to step down and , out, and
the request will have- to be_ obeyed.
They had best take warning in time."
THE A rgus paraded before its read
ers. last week figures purporting to
show how much more efficient the
Democratic Auditor General is in
Collecting taxes due the State than
was Gen. ALLEN, hid Republican
predecessor ; brit the following facts
taken from. the records of the office
prove the dishonesty and deception
of the Democratic press : .
The - sum of $898,852.6 was col
lected by the Auditor General's de
partment of this State during the
months of May and June, of which
amount $411,213.08 were collected
by Auditor General Allen before
Temple came into office, leaving
$372,542.10 the amount collected by
this original Democratic book-keeper,
beingless than half the entire amount
collectedfand on the strength of this
the Democratic press crows abut,
" stirring up the delinquents." What
a very loud cackle over a very small
egg !
THE' reckless and irresponsible
scribbler who instigated the compar
ison between the Republican- House
of 1874 and the Democratic House
of 1875, presumed too much ,upon
the ignorance of the people. lk.t, us
see how hisclaim that the Demo
crats
have been more economical than
Republicans will . bear the light of
troth. If our readers will turn to the
pamphlet laws of 1874, pages 129,,
30, 31, they will find a statute passed
by the Republican Legislature of
that year, prescribing exactly the
numbers and the duties, al4 well as
the compensation of each of the offi
cers and employes of both I branches
of the Legislature. In view of the
operations of the new constitution,
'then adopted, prohibiting loCal legis
iation, and thus reducing the volume
of business to a very small compass,
it was appatent that a large reduc
tion in the clitical force could be ef=
fected. This statute made a reduce
tion in the number of the employes
of all grades, and the Democratic
House filled every position that it
was possible for them to fill, under
the act of assembly governing the
matter. And yet this result, which
they had no control over whatever,
is paraded as an. instance orbemo
crate reform.

says : " If the south his a few years of
peace, a few years of fre4om from
military rule and a few years of such
crops as those of this year, that sec
tion will show the world there is life
in the old land still." 'he south
might have hail alretuly ten years of

If the southern states have not at- ,
tained a proper degree of prosperity
since the close of the war, the people
of that section are more at fault than
the national government. Besides,
what has there been 'to interfere with
the utmost prOsperity of Kentucky,
the state in which the r Couri/ir-Journal
is published? That conmnonwealth
ha's been completely under the con
trol of white Democrats Il e there has
been no military interfe .l nce with
her local affair*. negroes and carpet-
I aggers have,Uot been permitted to
ofli
hold any ceS of consequence'; she
has for' years had a solid white dele
gation in congress ;, what, hen, does
the Courier-Journal demand for Ken
tucky that she fias not enjoyed politi
cally ? The same may be said of a
be L
number cif other southern states—in
.fact,. all but two. In tli few local
ities where troops have necessa
ryl
to keep the pc:lmi and protect life
and rights and p rope rty,r the southern

men have anything to gain by voting
against HARTRANFT, and therefore
recommends a hearty support of the
Republican ticket. its last issue
"we find the following:
" The Prohibition, candidates, tho'
they are admitted to be good and
worthy. men, their nomination does
not meet anywhere With cordial pub
lic endorsement. Looking at it from
a Democratic Standoint, lit seems a
side issue, and its e ect is designed
to defeat the !Republican candidate.
For deny it as they may, Prohibi
tionists do not expect much help from
Democrats as_ a patty. That party
is evidently pleasedi with this view,
for everywhere ,do they give the Pro
hibitionfpaitY men anencouraging
pat on the hack, but they must not
be looked to for any further support.
" There is 'a possibility of the de
feat of Gov. Ilartranft through the
defection of Republican Votes to the
Prohibition standard, and if the Pro
hibition candidati could take the
prize. Republicans might not com
plain of the defeat of their principles,
for Brown arid Pennypicker are in
fall accord with Republicanmeasures.
But the possible effect will be the
election of al. Deniocrat whose tem
perance opinions will be nothing,
juili;ing from the past, so that both
temperance and Republicanism is
swamped. We adAnit that there are
20,000 prohibitioniiits in, the State,
but cannot help believing that but a
I very small proportion of them think
prohibition can be brought about by
the election ofa Democratic Governor.-
With the exception of Hartranft's

One et the stockholders of McClure's
Timtst recently received a • letter (rem
Gov. Bigler explanatory of what the Gov
erner had a few days previously explained
to Mr. Thompson, of t lridkrna eonnty.
The telegram to Mr. Them the Gov
ernor said, "Was simply to 's
atire hini that I would pot dissent from
those prooOedinp, and Oubllubod without
any ezp_lanestion. I realized at once that
it would be misunderstood as a public
declaration of my desire and purpore to
be a candidate for ar*erttof. I had no
such intention then, and have no such in
tention now,''
The explanation explaining just what
the Governor meant in; the telegram is
thus given to the Tinses'i man by Mr. Big
kr:
"I hold; holieveri that in the presext

at least ten men who *Ould.jast as ear

al, and who would not Ire their positions
for political purposes.
As this is an era of suspicion, it occurs
to me that the Rerstil term party of the
State will, somehow oriother, cothe to re
gard the Center:tidal as a sort of patriotic
propagating house.- especially designed to
force their' most peculiarly favored serv
ant into' a full blown Governor. Ind if
the friends of the score Or more of Demo.
erotic candidates should look upon this
matter from a similar standpoint, it seems
to me that the Centennial Commission, to
say the knit, is doing ap unwise thing in
putting forward a candidate for executive

If the Court House in Towanda were
large enough to hold all the Republican
voters in the county, and'they all had an
abundance of leisure and the inclination
to attend a great mass convention to make
nominations, it would probably take a
week to nominate a ticket, and when
nominated, would not be likely to give
gwniter satisfaction ,than the one to. be
nominated by their delegates on the last
day of August next.
But you say you don't propose to have
the voters assomble at the eountiseat,
that they are to meet in their own distfcts
and quietly deposit their votes for the
candidates of their choice. Then so much
the worse for the party and its candidates:
Men who have work to do in the field Can
not do it very effectfully sitting, in the
house if they have bnainess which ought
to be done by conferring '.irith others, at
the county seat, then it is their duty to
go there, or send some competent person
to do for them. The business of nomi
nating a candidate that Will command the
full party vote can only be done by a per
sonal conference of the various candidates
or their friends with the people or their
representatives. Compromises must be
made j perwinal pJndices removed, see.;
tional jealottsies sso tenedi and the ticket
fairly distributed over the oottnty, so that
there may be no just grounds for dissatis
faction. _Voting for candidates in the dis
tricts, without the knowledge gained by a
convention, would roster and intensify
sectional animosities. There would soon
be the eastern, the western and the cen
tral factions, and this feeling would he
likely to increase until the party Was rent
assunder.
A very pleasant correspondent of the
Minim ,lady Adrertiser thinks the 'adop
tion of the Crawford County system would
increase the nominating power of the
rural districts. The reverse of this. 'in
our opinion, would be 'true. 'Owing to the
great distance most of them have to tray- I
el to the place of holding the caucus, the
hills to be passed over,.the poorness of the
roads or the urgency of farm work,' - the
rural districts never have and never will '
be able to present their full strength at
the caucus, like the towns do. It is not
because they feel indifferent as to who is
nominated, not beeausin they are less pat •
riotie than their brethren in the boroughs
but because the personal sacrifices they
are obliged to make are so much greater, I
and they, are willing to trust to those who
live nearer the place of holding the can: ;
ens to send good men as delegates to the
county convention. You think this long I
argument wasted,' as the-Ittperiment has
been tried in Crawford Carroty and gives,
entire satisfaction., We never heard that. ,
We have heard that it did not give entire
satisfaction, that there were strong suspi
mons ofballot,box stuffing, and were it
not a matter of county pride to maintain
a child of their own begetting, they would
have cast the brat aside long ago and re
turned to the delegate system.
We know that in the great cities, in de
fiance of the most stringent laws, there
have been =my' cases of stupenduous
cheating at the polls. In the 'absence of
any law to 'punish frauds at a party cau
cus, what would hinder unscrupulous
persons from tampering with the ballot
boxes? Would they not ' sometimes al
most think it was their duty to cheat?
Here is a district that usually polls 250
Republican votes, but on counting out the
ballots at - the caucus it is found that
Jones, their candidate for (we will say)
Corner, has received 121, or all the votes
east ; would not some of Jones' friends
think it was right to cast a few
proxies and send in the returns as 2:10
for Jones—the number they considered
1 he was entitled to? No one will deny
that the temptation to cheat under- the
Crawford County system is greater than
under the delegate system, or that the
disposition to support the candidates of
our own section would be Strengthened;
even when it was known that the offices
did not rightfully belong in our locality.
ft is not easy to refuse votes to neigh
bors and acquaintances when they ask for
them.
If the system were now in operation in
this county, the five Towanda districts
would be likely to give Manville,
for. Sher
iff; Peck, for ' Prothonotary, Snell, for
Commissioner, Hall, for Treasurer, and
Chubbuck or Black, for Register and Re
corder, about five hundred votes, which,
added to those they would probably re
ceive in eth6r districts, would nominate
the whole orthem. It is true they are
Food men, and their residence in , Towan
'da does not lessen their honesty or ability,
but no party can be kept together long ;
after it ceases to distribute the offices
fairly between the different sivtions of
the county..
The delegate system is strict ly in ac
cordance with the principles of represen
tative government. It is as nearly perfect
as human' nstithtions can be. Its evils are
the result, not of the system, but of hu
man nature itself, and until human nature
is changed it is in vain to expect themil
lenium. When mankind have lost all con
fidence in each other's honesty and.patri
otism ; when they can no longer trust
their representatives to make laws for the
State or the Nation, then they will abol
ish the delegate system—hut not till then.

. .. , Imo qt 1:11B SITUATION , r :
En. Itzpowrzn : For some time past I
have been asking ot n4self, What is the
real situation of the „Wptiblican party:Of
Bradford County? and,.l , eon' up to
the present time, I am trnahiclo eye my
self' a satisfattorr answer... Hai' there
been any corisiddraltle change of the po
litical opinions of the citizestsof this coup
ty, or hive our defeats been ondetiount of
personal b icinga, together with beat
differences While our majority his been
for some years growing less„ even i'to de
feat, I do not hear of any one who wain
Republican who admits that bets riot still
"a - Republican." It :is frequently raid
that all that is wanted at the present time
to place our noble old county a
,Wi in the
front with her old-fashioned rnaties is
the nomination of a good ticket. !W h at I
now desire, Mr. Editor, is that yen and
the Republicans generally shall inform us
how this is to be done. There slam to
be very little talk about candidates for of
Hoe, except that of , Sheriff. Whols to be
the nominee for that office Is a 4inesticm
we now begin to bear daily, and is a ques
tion worthy of serious consideration. TI
hear it frequettrky remarked that " the
East as a loadity" claims that, wider the
'principle of fairness, that' secticsi;‘of the
county is entitled to and must receive the
nomination for that office. Well,i, who is
to be the aindidate, and who shalt decide
that., question ? Our Eastern friends have
many candidates, but no Rings; and some
of our friends, I bear, are much excited
lest the Towanda Ring will adoPt some
one of their Eastern candidates,' and the
West, under its lead will make a nomina
tion and force upon their one notief their
choice. ,
,
Your correspondent is a Westenr man
(and not seriously opposed to Rings—at
least when fortunate enough to be on the
inside), but is opposed to any man for any
office in the eastern part of Bradford coun
ty the present year, who does not receive
a majority of the delegates of UK} several
townships and boroughs that side of, the
river. If the Republicans east of the river
desire to repeat their action of three years
ago upon Sheriff, to wit : refuse Ito give
any Eastern man for that office a majority
of its votes; let the.respotesibilitYibe with
them. It is not to be supposed that all
Republicans East will prefer anyone man,
but if they are (and the writer, has . no
doubt they are) sincere in claiming that
office' for one of their citizens,•they can
agree at their primary meetings ito elect
delegates who shall first vote for their
choice and second for some Eastern man.
Unless they do that to , the extent of giv
ingl
some one of their men a m. ority of
all their votes, they will have nol ust rea
son to complain if their brother tepubli
cans of the county shall locate the candi
date elsewhere. If they do that and
another is placed in nomination, then they
may justly complain of unfair treatment
l in a local point of view. With 4 proper
man as the candidate for: Sheriff east of
the river, It is hardly possible ter fare Con-
I vent lan to make a weak ticket fpm !Inch
1 men as are now spoken of for the differ
ent offices to be elected this fall.
What say you, Republicans of the East.
! Have you any man you want for Sheriff?
; If so, name him and demand hiknomina
i tion, and take the responsibility and
• credit to yourselves and not to the Ring.
