WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 1873.
The Elections.
Our readers will excuse ns for delaying
our paper one day for the purpose of giv
ing them some news as regards the late
political contest. We are writing this ar
ticle upon the back of -a fac simile lytho
graphic copy of the affidavit of Charles
T. rerkes, the convicted accomplice of
John F. Hartranft, who was lately par
doned from the state penitentiary, to dig
the last ditch, in which to bury the polit
ical honor of the old Keystone State, so
honestly and boldly defended by the Dem
ocratic and Liberal army of Reform, and
we deem it at this time, the fitting parch
ment °a l -which:to record the victory of
Simon Cameroti and his sat elites of the
corrupt Ring. ,i9id might make right,"
we should have reason to be dismayed,bn t
as many a former precedent- shows, that
the most valient army has been temporari
ly repulsed by overpowering numbers and
intrigneing strategy, upon hard fought
battle fields, and yet subsequently carried
its colors in triumph through theenemy's
city, therefore, with no less confidence in
the justice of our cause, we shall ask
no quarter and give none,•bnt shall stand
by the flag of Reform, which we have
hoisted, though we be the last man who
is left to bear it aloft Nobly have our
Liberal allies in Susquehanna county
stood by their convictions, and the deple
ted, exasperated and demoralized condi
ti m of the enemy, shows conclusively
how effective has Leon our onset upon the
Radical Ring.
With a vote much larger than that
which Grant and Seymour received in
1868, when Grant came off with a vic
torious majority of about 1500, the Ring
lipid the field by a majority, on Covernor,
which from present appearances, canunot
reach over 800, and on Sheriff, which will
fall below 500, and with a poor pros
pect of electing a Representative in the
district. . •
In the city of Montrose, iiliere Liberal
Republicans have been set upon in the
Most violent manner by the Grant blood
hounds, and even threatened with being
ruined in their business and abused with
out stint Set we had TIIIRTY-NINE Liber
als who could not be bought, coaxed or
bullied into stultifying their manhood, by
voting to sustain the penitentiary gang.
The Radicals voted 34 negroes, who
never had voted at a Governor election
before, including one that was imported
front Binghamton, and yet we reduced
their majority about 20 from the last
governor election. Old Bridgewater in
creased its majority 16. Susquehanna
Depot is entitled to the banner. She
gave 95 majority for Buckalew, which is
a gain of 134 on the last governor elec
tion. Lenox decreased its majority 38,
and there are many smaller gains in oth
er townships, so that as we go to press
with only about 15 towns heard from, we
have gained about 250.
In the state we believe with an ex
change, that the Cherry Hill certificate of
good character has been endorsed by the
votes as counted, and the incoming gover
nor is at liberty to call into his cabinet
his former creditor, Evans, as secretary
of the Commonwealth. and "Dear
Yerkes" as his coufidettial adviser. The
freemen, who are jealous for the honor of
Pennsylvania, and who gathered around
the upright statesman, Charles IL Bucka
lew, have been overborne by Mr . 's° who
preferred party to purity, aided by repeat
ers and negroes imported from
adjoining states. Philadelphia, under
the skillful manipulation and un
scrupulous management of a cor
rupt ring, has rolled in upon us from the
east with a radical majority of over
twenty thousand, whilst Allegheny an
swers from the west with nearly half as
much. A few of our old staunch demo
cratic counties, who, never
of
but
true as steel, send us rays of light which
shine through the darkness which sur
rounds us. 1P
Hot For the 14621:
MonltosE, Oct. 10, .10 S'clock,
Dispatches just received here, give the
Cherry Hill candidate, J. F. Hartranft,
32,000 majority in the State, and it may
be made 40,000 if necessary. The Grant
Post Masters anc Assessors through the
country, even, stand aghast in view of the
flood gates of eonuptiou and fraud that
must sink the State of Pennsylvania into
three years more of infamy at oar State
Capital, by a majority so_ apparently
fraudulent upon the very face of it, that
no honest man in either political party can
have the heart to defend it.
The same report gives Shoemaker 1,000
majority over Woodward in Luzorne and
Buckalew less than 1,500 over Ilartranft.
lar •pavid P. Lewis, the Grant candi
date for Governor of Alabama, was a
member of the secession conyeui . ion, vo

.the Refonn Association

Governor of Pennsylvania, and a fourth

Return of noraco Greeley from bin
Western Trig.
Horace Greeley reached New York on
Saturday afternoon Sept., 518th, on his
return from his trip through Pennsylva
nia, Ohio and Indiana. An immense
crowd was gathered at the Hoboken Ferry,
foot of Barclay street to catch e. glimpse
of "Honest Horace," A large force of
policemen were present and when Mr.
Greeley alighted from the train he could
with difficulty' gain the carriage, which
was waiting for him. Everybody cried
"speech ! speech !" but the carriage was
rapidly whirled away from the ferry, leav
ing the crowd ungratified in that respect.
In the evening a reception was given
to Mr. Greeley at the Lincoln Club in
Twenty-first street, when in response to
repeated requests he addressed those
present briefly and colloquially as fol
lows :
Only a few words, gentlemen. If any
good has resulted from my visit to the
West the credit is to be lain entirely to our
committees here, at whose suggestion I
went, and without their concurring
should refuse to go. I was greatly press•
ed on every side to go out and see the
people through the Central States of the
Union. They said it was desirable, and
our friends thought it would be benefi
cial. I consulted our committees, nation
al and State, and also the Democratic
Committee, and their judgment concur
ring in favor of my going, I made the
journey on the strength of their recom
mendation. Well, friends, I think it has
done good, (applause, and cries of "that's
so - ) b2cause we have no purposes tha't
wi tile' to conceal; we have no princi
ples, no objects that we don't desire the
people to know. (Applause.) On the
other hand the public mind was clouded
with false representations of what we be
lieve and of our purposes. I think I had
the opportunity of disabusing some good
men, in sonic cases, who meant to do
right, but were deceived in regard to our
purposes, (Applause.) I think I made
it clearer than it otherwise would have
been that the Liberal movement was not
a coalition of discordant element 2, but
a union of people who have been united
upon principles on which they are all
agreed, and fur purposes which they are
proud to avow. (Cheers.) So friends,
allow me now to cease. I have done my
part, and don't mean to be tortured into
saying another word on politics to the
end of the camas. I have explained
and expressed myself as clearly as I am
able to, and as fully as seemed necessary.
I trust, friends, that good to the cause
will accrue. I think I can say it has been
strengthened every day for the last fort
night. (Cheers.) I feel a solid confi
den a that Pennsylvania is ours, if we
can have a fair election ; that Ohio is
with us to-day—(cheers)—and I trust
will be to the end ; and that Indiana can
not be bought or defrauded out of her
reform State ticket, and that she will
give her vote to the Liberal movement at
the November election. (Cheers.) With
that conviction, and.being weary, I will
beg you to relieve me from further service
of speech on this occasion. I will only
say that I have been greatly cheered at
the demonstration of public sentiment
and the general enthusiasm which I have
witnessed and felt during the last twelve
days.
Three cheers were given for "Old Hon-
esty," three more fur the "White Hat,"
and three more for "Young America."
Mr. Greeley then left the building and
the people dispersed.
cNot half the grievances of the
South under the carpet-bag rule of the
Grant administration, have been told. If
Mr. Greeley is elected President, the car
pet bag influence will be at an end, and
the Sorithern States will resume the sta
tion in the Union to which they are enti
tled, and will soon be in a condition to
bear n just proportion of the burden of
national indebtedness. The Grant
"Ring" of military and civil vagabonds
have plundered the South in various ways.
They kept in office as Governors of
Southern States, men who robbed the
people, increased the indebtedness of the
several Commonwealths, forged evidences
.of public indebtedness, and clung like
vermin to their prey, until scared by the
open door of the prison. They interfered
with the laboring population of the
South, taught them habits of idleness
and insubordination, and in this manner
decreased the products of that section.
They instituted a reign of terror in many
of the States by the use of the military,
by which capital was made timid and
capitalists driven from these localities.
And all these blows at the South reacted
npon the North. As the crops of the
South decline, their orders for Northein
products fall off. If a planter is prevent
ed from getting hands, he cannot put in
an extended arca of cotton, and hence his
purchases will be short, and the North
will lose. Every bale of cotton raised in
the South, every hogshead of sugar made,
returns a fair proportion of profit to the
people of the North, in the shape of in
creased demands for the products of their
mills, manufactures and workshops. It
is very nnbusiness Ake to continue in
power a party which is using, all its
authority to cripple and crush our best
customer. If merchants, mannfacurers
and business men will look at the present
struggle iu this light, they will see their
duty from a higher, I purer standpoint
than that erected by interested politicians
and political gamblers apd robbers.

Tilly Democrats should Support
Greeley.
On last Thursday Governor Seymour,
of New York, made a speech at Onedia,
in that State, to.a large assemblage of
Democrats and . Liberals. Among other
things he nave the following reasons why
Democrats should vote for Horace Gree
icy
"We are frequently - asked by political
opponents bow Democrats can support
Horace Greeley, who was so many years
opposed to us, and who has so frequently
and violently assailed our organization.
We might parry this question bypointing
to differences which once existed between
their party and its present leaders. They
have denounced us as men laboring to
keep alive the elements opposed to the
perpetuity of our nation, but now when
we in a spirit of patriotism arc willing to
make sacrifices in our feelings with the
hope of uniting the country, they meet
us again with the cry that we are acting
in opposition to the t-nditions of a great
and honorable party. I do not suppose
that any answer which I shall give can
satisfy those opposed to us, but I propose
to meet thisipiestion zquarely, to vindi
cate ourselves in the eyes of the people of
our country, and to satisfy our own
minds that we are acting for the beneit
of the whole country. if our object was
merely a political scheme to elect Horace
Greeley, 1 will admit that it would be in
consistent and unworthy of us; lint if.'on
the other hand, the present condition of
the country is such as to demand the sac
rifice of our opinions and old airtipathies,
then it is an honorable thing to lay our
sympathies on the altar of our country. I
cannot, surely, be accused of any person
al interest in the election of Mr. Greeley.
Our relations have never been of a friend
ly character. I have not had personal
intercourse with Mr. Greeley, nor do I
expect to have. I can only stand up and
urge you to vote fur him, as beimr ' a man
who would subserve the best interests of
his country by laying aside air personal
pride, and who would unite the people of
the land. [Applause.] I know th a t some
have charged that at an early day his
name was suggested by myself. Ido not
know the man who started this story. I
only know that they do not seem to stand
upon the strength of their own words,liut
qualify them with affidavits, which is a
virtual admission that their words would
not have been believed without them.
Unfortundely, they were so foolish as to
undertake to mad Mr. Greeley's writing.
[Laughter.] They made him to say that
ho was in favor of pensioning the Rebel
soldiers, but upon a more careful reading
they found that Mr. Crecly had written
that in ISG4 Mr. Chase ought to hale
been nominated instead of myself. This
is as near as they came to the truth in
their other charges.
r A well authenticated kn-Ilrix
case has at list be.m cstublished in Carter
county Missouri. The victims of the
outrage_ ere visited in the middle of the
night by men armed a..d disguised in the
genuine ku-klux style, and the bead of
the visited family was removed from the
house and subjected to a severe flogging.
A part of the barid were recognized by
the victim, and iu due time arrested.
When the case came to trial, however, it
was discovered that the person who was
kn-kluxed was a Greeley man and the
ku-kluxes in custody were all Grant men.
The court came to the conclusion iliat
the Enforcement act was never intended

"Postmaster-General Creswell, who
has no time for business in Washington,
none to prepare the postal card author
ized by Congress, none to punish the
misuse of the U. S. mails by substituting
Grant fur Greeley journals, none- to hear
complaints of Post--ollice mismanage
ment. none to note the forged franks,
forged under the nose of his Department
in Washington and elsewhere, and then
through the mails—is busy on the stump
in Ohio and Indiana. As he is out,
let him tell what he knows of the Choi
penning frauds, by which the Govern
ment was plundered.
A MOVEMENT OF THE PEOPLE.—Thert
is no disguising the fact that Horace
Greeley's nomination was a movement of
the people, and not of partisans. Grant's
office-holders may grind out their absurd
and lugubrious notes about leader's bar
gains, boiled crow, and all such silly
trash ; but the incontrovertible fact looms
out as clearly as the noon-day sun, that
brace Greeley's nomination was forced
.by the people, and not by party leaders.
They bargained for him, and the bargain
was that when elected he should use his
influence and official power for the bene.
fit of the whole people, and not of a clique
or party. That was the bargain made,
and we have confidence that the high con
tracting parties will fully redeem theii
pledges. That is all the "crow" that will
be boiled, and it will be dished up to
Radical office-holders as a sweet morsel of
consolation upon their inglorious exit from
their positions. --
CV Senator Morton's fifty negro colo
nists escaped the penalty due their offenses
by means of legal technicalities. But the
•Morton managers will not escape so easi
ly; they are convicted before the people
of an outrageous attempt to subvert the
popular will by fraud. We • believe that
this and other such crimes helped to swell
the Liberal vote in Indiana Tuesday. It
teems impossible that the citizens of the
free North-West could vote to sustain a
clique which stuffs ballot-boxes and. colo
nizes Kentucky uegroes in order to cheat
themselves into a new lease of power.

A Liberal Victory' In Cannelloni. '
(By Telegraph to the Vritiune.)
Hartford, Oat. 7.—The following is
from the office of 17te ilarlford Times:
The Liberal party has gained largely in
the local town elections in Conneticut,
to-day. We gain 201 do Merdien; we
carry Danbury by 250, lass Spring Re
publican by 215: Mansfield by 26 - , last
Spring Republican by 85; the old staunch
Republican town of Brookline goes for
the Greeley ticket by 1d; New-Canaan
Liberal for the first time in 15 years ;
Middletown by 300; Waterbury by 500 ;
Andover sgain ; Bristol, Windsor Locks,
Ridgefield, Iccw-Milford Liberal, and . old
Suffield by 76. Towns which have been
invariably Republican for nearly twenty
years have now elected the Greeley ticket.
In other strong Administration towns
their majorities are reduced one-half.
Tho State is largely Liberal. Even that
Gibralter of Radicalism, the Town of
Windham, goes Liberal, and Vernon's 300
Grant Republican majority is cut down
to 201, and Manchester's 120 is cut down
to 9. In flarttord, Mr. Stillman, the sal
aries and managing town officer, was on
both tickets, as were also several oilier
important officers, so that little interest
was manifested, and a light vote polled.
each party giving about an equal num
ber of votes.
Victory in Indiana.
Indinapolis, Oct. 9-2 a. m. The returns
still indicate the same average gain and
loss. The Legislative ticket is all uncer
tain, but the State Committee are assured
that the Liberals arc in the ascendant in
the doubtful districts At this late hour
no returns have been received from the
city wards. This is the great point upon
which the State will, to a certain extent,
hinge. The gain so far reported for Hen
dricks assures him a majority which can't
be counted lower than 5,000, through the
Morton fling now boast that they mean
to have 2,000 majority tomorrow. It
can hardly happen, however, as the vote
wits closely scrutenized in this City, and
the usual process of counting in will be
impossible. Nothing in the form of an
absolutely accurate count need be expec
ted before to-morrow afternoon.-

Ist and lid Districts. Cleveland gives
us a gain of I.SOO. and Cincinnati about

that body or with the Grant party, lie
says lie is compelled to regard this as the
only course open to one who desires to
guard the institutions of the country from

that commissioners were appointed by
a Federal Jude to superintend the
elections last Tne:day, and - expresses
belief that the people of Indiana are fully
able to regulate it their own way. These
appointments infringed upon the rights
of free citizens, and if passed by in si
lence will lend the Government into des
potism.
Political ntot In Cincinnati
CINCINNATI, Oct. 7.—A serious riot
occurred here this evening. As two
Greeley Ward Club 3 were marching up ,
Broaaray, through that part of the city
known as Bucktown, the procession
reached Fifth-st., and was met by a t.wrig
of negroes armed with muskets and *bay
onets, who commenced the work of
slaughter. The Greeley men, taken by
surprise, at once broke ranks and scatter
ed like sheep. many of them fleeing up
Broadway as close to the 4zonses as they
could get, to escape the bul!ets of the
blacks, who continued the firing for some
distance. The alarm bells were s9unded
to bring the police to the scene, and large
crowds from all parts of the city rushed
to the battle ground, prompted either by
curiosity or bent on mischief. The blacks
kept in close order, and Mused to sur
render their arms to the police, although
they were finally induced to enter their
armory, where they now are. They will
allow no one access to them. It is iznpos
sible to get an accurate list of the casual
ties to-night. No deaths are yet reported
but five men, all white, are known to be
wounded, one quite seriously in the thigh,
another in the knee, another in the arm,
;one in the hand. Crowds of excited peo
ple were .gathered' in the neighborhood
until a later hour, threatening vengeance
upon the beads of the perpetrators of this
most unwarrantable outrage. Bad blood
is circulating to-night, -and_ trouble may
follow to-morrow.

ADDRESS. "
ETERENT FATHER :-I have the dis
tinguished honor of being Felected by a
committee of St. Andrews Congregation;
to present you, as their i astnr, with this
token of their respect. Its intrinsic val
ue conveys but a very inadequate idea of
tlw estimation in which your great zeal,
untiring exertions, and excessive labors
are appreciated ; not only, in the erection
and dedication of our church to the ser
vice of Almighty God, but also in your
ministration and prompt attendance at all
times and seasons to our spirt nal necessi
ties when required. Accept it, therefore,
Reverend Father, in the spirit with.which
it is tendered, and may its index mark out
for you many years of increasing prosper
ity, health and happiness.
GENTLEMEN: The presentation of
your splendid gift completely surprises
me, arid at this moment so overwhelmed
do I feel with gratitude that I cannot ex
press myself in words commensurate with
my feelings. Believe me sincerely that. I
accept your gift appreciatively in the spir
it in which it has beet] tendered, and let
'the years (as you remark) its dia) may
mark for me," be few or many, prosperous
or otherwise, this mark of your regard
will he ever cherished and constantly act
as a monitor to remind me of my grate
ful affection's toward von.

--Senator Schurz gave a powerful ad
dress to the Germans in New York city

come nevertheless.
—Mr. A. T. Stewart does not share the
admiration for Mr. Boutwell's financial
policy that some of the Administrationists
profess. He says he never could asertain
what Mr. Bou i l,well's policy is. He think/

in the policy of freeing tariff legislation
from the party whip. and leaving it!to the
representations of the people.

—The poet Whittier well says that "no
colored man with any self-respect or sense
of gratitude can listen complacently to
personal abuse of such men as Horace
Greeley, Charles Sumner, Ilenery Wilson
or Salmon P. Chase. The have beep your
friends when friendship cost something."
In striking contrast this to the passionate
pugilism of Wendell Philips, who tells
colored men tout]] and defend themselves
from their best friends with powder and
bullet.
—Hon F. W. Bird is spoken of as the
probable nominee of the Liberals and
Democrats of Massachusetts for tho Gov
ernorship. He is an able, sterling man,
of incorrnptable integrity, nerpendicular
as a post, and solid enon,gli to hitch to in

but for once in her history Massach Watts
has gone back on her record and his for
gotten herself. She will come to her sen
