FOR STATE TREASURER%
GENERAL SILAS M. BALLY,
"A. man who from his youth up,
has fought the battles of Republican
ism in a region where no hope of
success could add vigor and seal to
the contest, and.with no reward save
the consciousness of having served
the cause he loved. A man who has
attested his love of liberty and lavr,
by service on the field of glory and
of blood, who won his promotion in
the glorious Pennsylvania Reserves,
from Captain to Brigadier, by meri
torious service on the field. A man
who stood in the red bell of battle at
Drainsville, on the Peninsula, at
Gaines' Mill,, South Mountain, Antie
tam, Fredericksburg and ,the Wilder
ness, and who bore witness with his
blood that he loved his country well.
He bears upon his person the rough
scars left by the cruel cannon balls,
and will carry to hi& grave the evi
dence of his patriotism and courage.
He is able and worthy to lead Repub
licans to Victory as he led, his regi
ment to war. (Speech of Attorney
General l'alnier, in 1!e _ publican State
Convention.)

STATE AND COUNTY ELECTIONS.
Tuesday, November 8, is the day for
holding the state and county election this
year. Voters who change their residences
from one election district to another re
quires a residence of at least sixty days
in the district where the citiz(n shall offer
to vote. t.ate and county tax must have
been paid within two years. Every qual
,i tied citizen should vote. That is a duty
. fur the neglect of which the reason should
be very strong. Without such a. reason
the neglect to vote is an unpatriotic refus
al to perform a public duty. We hope
every citizen of this county will vote at
the election on November Bth.

TIME TO ITS TRADITIONS
In the organization of_ the Senate,
on Monday, New York and RhOde
Island Were not permitted to partici
pate; and yet, on the' fl 'or of thb
Senate chamber stood the represen
tatives of those states, with their
credentials -,in due form, asking to be
sworn in. The Constitutional guar
antee is that "No Sl.ate; without its
consent, shall be deprived of its equal
suffrage in the Senate.m Every, Dem
ocratic Senator knew this. They
knew that in the whole history of
the . country no precedent could. be
found 'for their contemplated act.
They knew that common sense and
every Precedent of Senate usage was .
against them. They knew the moral
view of the case was against them;
as was the clearly. .expresseil will of
the people but lately overwhelmingly
.voiced at the ballot box. They knew
that neither by flat iefuSal . 'or tech
nical obstructions could they long
postpone the admission of, the wait
ing Senators. 'They knew they were
committing an act that in caucus
several of their number had admitted
was Wrong. But not a man of them
had the honesty or courage to rise .
abOve the dictum of his party's cau
cus and vote to carry out the express
of the people, or the spirit of
the Constitution. The bullet from
the pistol of an assassin had placed
Within their party's hands a chance
for a great prostitution of power, and
they clung to the traditions of that
party's past and used it. The polit
ical history of our country', for the
past third of a century, and conger,
bears on its every,page,blunders made
byjthe BoUrbon Dcinocracy, or it sat
tempts, successful and unsuccessful,
to subvert the .'expressed will of -the
people. The Democratic party learis
nothing from
.the successes of itS,op
ponents or its own defeats. Its creed
is Place. To briefly reap the profits
of a. present advantage, it has ever
been, and is now, ready to sacrifice
the greater possibilities of . the Fu
ture. But its.present advantage can
be but transitory, and must inure
to the good of the Republican party,
as it will slam/ the people how shal
low is the boasteit - reverence for the e
Constitution, by the Democracy; and
it will still more forcibly impress
upori the public mind the .(larger of
trusting such a party with power
to even a limited,extent. The Dem
ocratic Party is' still
..tme to its tra
ditions. Its battle cry is now, as in
the past:: "Everything for Place ;
nothing for Principle." "
THE HUTT OF REPVIILICANS
Froth the Phltauelrbla Prees; October nth
The Republicans of Pennsylvania
have reached a Point where it is im
portant for them to take their bear
ings and wisely steer their course.
They are bound to consider in a high
and patriotic spirit what , they owe to
themselves and, what they owe to
their Republican brethren throughout
the land. They must remember not
merely the
,immediate impulses of
the hour but the vital and transcend
ent interests of the future. It is
easy, in a moment -of unreflecting
passion and in striking at the abuses
which have grown up, to pull down
the temple of Republican organiza
tion ; but; it is the work of time-add
patriotism and statemanship to build
up a sound and enduring superstruc
ture. There may be a reckless lead!
ership which is disastrous and which
justifies resistence ; and there;may
also be a method of opposition which
is equally inconsiderate and destruc
tive.
What is the duty of honest, siOcere,
earnest Republicans in this campaign?
What the duty of those who right
fully class themselves as Independent
Republicans? First of all, they are
pre-eminently patriotic Republicans
—Republicans from conviction, Re
publiCiins from a profound devotion
to true Ike Publican principles; Re
publicani from an intelligent appre
hension of the vital importance of
Republicaw'ssfitndincy to the high
est welfare of the country. They
recognize no map as superior—to
themselves in' fidelity to sound Re
publicanism. , They are party men,
and understand full well that politi
cal principles and . public ends are to
be-advanced through =the 'party or
ganization. They , know thatthe flag
of liberty :was sttiomfuny planted_
at Yorktown and Oettysburg i not by
the_broken blows of straggling pe
rinea, but by the united onset of the
grand army: ; ,
The only sound
_basis of letting
party organization is the free union
of all who hold the - same great prin
ciples: What is the true position of
the Inde - pendent Republicans? gimp
ly this—they say to those who have
been identified with a, different ele
ment: "We ask nothing for our
selves which we do not 111111 concede
to you;.we recognize- that you are
just as essential to the party as we
are; We - grant you the same right
to a free voice, to a respectful con
sideration and to all your just strength
which we claim for ourselves. We
only insist , upon a free vote, an hon
est count :end - - fair representation.
What we resist is an arbitrary and
usurped control; what we demand - is
I t
the honest rule of an honest majority. We seek only enktal rights - and air
play. If with this free, untramm led
popularexpression you can beat us,
if the real' majority of Republicans
are with you, then i you are entitled
to lead; if not, then it is your duty,
as it is ours, to let the majority rule.
Our cardinal, decisive principle is
free speech; a free vote and free rep
resentation." -
This is the impregnable position of
the Independent' Republicans, and
this high principle requires them to
.fight heir battles within the party
until it shall become clear that with
in the party they cannot secures fair
expression or obtain their just rights.
That time has not yet come. -If the
Ind endent Republicans are true to
themselves, if they shall be wise and
united, if they . shall not sacrifice
the strength of their position by ill
considered action, that time will nev
er come, because in entering upon
the succeeding battles they will speak
with such clearness and force that no
power will dare defy them. After
the decision of the party tribunal to
go outside of the party and unfurl
the Independent flag is revolution,
and revolution is justifiable only
when all' other measures of redress
fail. That extreme resort remains
as the reserved right of all patriotic
citizens, and with such a weapon the
Independent Repulicans can •in the
future protect themselves and pro
tect the principles and the cause they
cherish. , But they are not ready to
surrender the battle within the par
ty ; they are not yet ready to aband
on the good old Republican flag and
leave it wholly in the hands of the
- machine ; they are ngt yet ready to
go outside of the party and thus
sacrifice the right to a free voice in
its future councils. They want to
rescue the party from admitted evils,
but in cutting off the tumors they do
not want to kill the patient.
But will not the election of Gener
al Rath; especially in the face of an,
Independent movement, irretrievably
establish the machine and crush out
all independence within the party?
No—not any more than the success
of 1879 did ; not any more than the
control of the Convention, of 1880
did. In spite of these triumphs the
Independent strength has gone on
increasing until at Harrisburg the
other day it mustered more , than a
third of the Convention. The Inde
pendent Republicans made no ieal
fight; they remained passive in the
faith of an agreement; they opened
their batteries only ten days before
the Convention after most of the
delegases had Nen elected, and yet
they rallied nearly a hundred votes.
If they ! stand together within the
party and remain both firm and pru
dent they can command the future—
not necessarily for the exclusive
triumph of their own wing any more
than of the other, but for fair play
and just consideration all around.
The movement of Mr. WOLFS is not
the movement of the Independent
leaders or the Independent masses,
and hence its failure and the election
of General BAILY will not predjudice
the Independent cause in the future.
It is said. that Mt. WorFE's pro
ceeding is the : logical sequence of
the Independent revolt in the Legis
lature last winter, and is entitled to
the same support. This is i not true.
That revolt was simply an appeal
from the constrained dictation of the
caucus to the tree action of the Leg
islature. ' It never for a single mo
ment jeopardized the eleCtion of a
Republican United States Senator.
This campaign of Mr. WOLFE, on the
contrary, if it has any effect at all,
will throw the State into Democrat
ic hands. Thus the' difference be
tween the two , movements is as wide
as the chasm between Republican
victor3r - :and Democratic success. We
do not impeach Mi. Wom's motives;
but we lissent from his method. !The
great body of the Independent',rep
resentatives appreciate 'the broad
distinction, and see that both prin
ciple and policy command them to
stand by 'the Republican flag. The
STEWARTS, the DAVIES, the LEES, the
KAUFFMANS, the LEARN the KOONT
ZES, the GEISTS, the Manna and all
the other recognized leaders of the
Independent _ forces except Mr:
WOLFE himself, sustain the Republi
can ticket, and where they lead the
Indepennent masses can safelpfol
low:"
The duty of the hour is plain. The
Republican party has too_
_great a
work yet before it to justify any -Re
publican in. imperiling its strength or
its success. We want to redeem the
Republicanism of this Commonwealth
from its faults, but in doing so we
want, to give it new vitality and mor
al vigor, instead of striking it down
and otherthrowing the Republicanism
of the Union with the Republicanism
of Pecnsylvania. Let us stand to
gether in defense of the great princi
ple of POPULAR RULE - AND FREE
REPRESENTATION, but let us also up
hold and carry forward the Republi
can flag.

already made its appearance on the battle.

A Lotto technical history of the autopsy
on the Into President, has just been made
public. =" It is conclusive that GARIPIELD
died because the bullet went so near the
spier& artery as to cause the rile o( the
artery to ulcerate and finally break, an
event which no human skill could prevent.
The world is now generally convincedthat
the stroke that prostrated the President
was necessarily mortal, and his survival
for so long a period vindicates the appli

edge.
THERE will be about ninety ,nominii.:
tions of postmasters sent to the Senate at

forty-rive are of postmasters who were

after the adjournment of the Senate last

becluie Presidential by increase of re
ceipts on the Ist of July, and twenty-two
which became so on the lst of the present
month. Among this latter class is the
office at, Canton, this county.
PRESIDENT ARTHUR, OD Saturday ap
pointed O. P. CLARKE to be First Deputy
Commissioner of Pensions, and ,C. B.

A "CRANK," up at Utica, thought it
"smart" to write a letter advising the
"putting of a bullet through the body , of
Roscoe CoictuNo." Some ardent ad
mirer of the ex-Senator has made an at
tack upon that "crank," and beat him so
soundly that his energies ire now being
devoted to the work of resuming his nor
mal size and color, And the people of
Utica do not sympathize with the "crank"
in his misfortunes.
THE Erfe Evening_ Herald, the only
Democratic paper in Northwestern Penn
sylvania, published on Saturday a long
double-leaded editorial declining to Lip
pert NOBLE for State Treasurer, and giv
ing reasons therefor. The closing para
graph is as follows : "In a word, the
Democrats never made a more unfortu
nate nomination, as they will learn as the
campnign progresses. 1 '
NELSON W: ALDRICH, Rhode Island's
newly elected Senator;is said to have en
tered Providence 2 when a youth in the
same modest.manner that WittrrntavoN
entered London—in foot and his clothes
slung over his back. Ale procured em
ployment in a wholesale grocery store and
gradually rose in life tin he is now the
head of one of the largest firms in the
State.
Tux election of Mr. BAYARD, as the
temporary President of the Senate, ought
not to surprise any one familiar with the
history of the Democratic party. When
the Democratic party shall have arrived
at that point that' it will not sa:rifice self
respect, decency, and the expressed will
of the people, to, its greed for place and
power, then the ! political millenium Will
be not far.distant -
IN Gen. Awrans's inaugural address
occurs an expression that willpass into
our literary . currency as did Lincout's
"with charity for all, with malice to
none," or GARFIELD'S "God reigns. and
the government at Washing ton still lives."
President ARTHUR says: Men may die,
bat the fabric of our free institutions re
mains unshaken."
THE Democratic press is giving Mi.
WOLFE such a united support, that On-
ANOE NOBLE must ere long come to the
conclusion the his nomination by the De
mocracy for Siete Treasurer, was a delu
sion and a snare. There is a lesson for

A TRUE BILL.
.131nitenn Indicted ha Eleven Minutely
Drawn'teualts.
WAsurixoroN, October9.+' The in
dictment against Charles J. Guiteau,.
for the murder of James. A. Garfield,
late President of the United States,
was presented to the grand jury yes
terday morning. " The indictment
embraces eleven counts; and is drawn
with great minuteness. Each count
repeats the charge that Guiteau felo
niously and wilfully and of his malice
aforethought did kill and m u rder
against the form , of the statute in
- such case made and provided and
against the peace and government
of the United States. The variations
are regarding the time and place of
death and the court's jurisdiction,
and are drawn so as to cover every
possible loop-hole through which the
prisonermight escape. For instance,
the only variation in the fifth count
is a change in the order of mention
of the' places in which death is said
to have occurred, the county 'of
Washington and the District of Ca
lumbia being put - first. The sixth
count recites that the offense charged
was committed in the Baltimore and
Potomac
,railroad depot, in the city
of Washington, which building stands
and at the same time stood on the
ground' belonging to and under the
exclusive, jurisdiction of the United
Stategi. The ninth count varied
by the introduction of the recital
that the district in which the offense
charged was committed constitutes,
a judicial circuit of the United States,
and that the county of Mtmouth
and State of New Jersey, w ere the
_said James A. Garfield died, form
part of a judicial circuit of the United
States, consisting -of the District, of
Columbia. In all other respects this
count is like the third. ,
At .12.45 the grand jury entered
the criminal court roam and :,re
sented the indictthent against Gui
teau, indorsed "a' true bill," and
signed' by
,Caleb .Churchman, fore
man. • •
