Volume 32. gitmotrat--61fitorial. Circulation Increasing TWICE as Past us any Paper in Northern Pennsylvania. Gol9 closed in New York, on Saturday at. 1171. Gov. Allen, as every one expected, Was unanimously renominated at Columbus. With all the Radical attempts to create false issues, it is conceded by all well-in formed politicians that he will carry the State by from 20,000 to 25,000, on the second Tuesday of October. The St. Louis Democracy are anxious to have the next National Convention held at that place. ' The H►ll of the new Chamber of Commerce building is offered which will seat it is said 17,000 people. St. Louis came near being selected at the time Baltimore was chosen. It is likely St. Louis may be adopted if the conven tion be held early, bat it is rather warm for 'July or August. The state tax in New York has been reduced one and one-quarter mill per hundred making a total reduction of $2,411,635. This Oving is effected by clipping the ends or - extravagance, cut ting down salaries and stopping small leaks. No amount of vituperation in the republican press can rob the admin istration of Gov. Tilden of the credit for this reduction in state expenditure. It is reported that the present under— standing arrived at between the Penn sylvania and ,he Baltimore and Ohio railroad covers a settlement of the con— troversy in reeard to oil ireights from Pittsburg and will admit of the comple tion of the pipe lines of the oil region to that city or an equitable arrangement in regard to freights. If this report prove correct it will be good news to the o;I producers, who will profit by a fair and honest competition between the trunk . lines that penetrate northwestern Penn sylvania. The trade is now sniTering from a combination of refiners, pipe line companies and rail•oad companies wlio all take a liberal toll f.om petroleum, leaving a very meagre price to the pro ducer. There is 'a great deal of noise in the republican newspapers of Philadelphia about the Ohio democratic platform on the currency. Yet these republican newspapers, with the solitary exception of the Bulletin, have for years endorsed the identical policy of inflation announced in that platform. They have published Kelley's inflation speeches over and over again, with the strongest approval o: his views. The republican representatives from Philadelphia all supported the inflation bill et! the last congress which was vetoed by the president, and the reptilii can newspapers of Phladelphia sustained the course of their representatives and not the veto of the President But Lbese organs have jttst discovered what a dread ful thing inflation is since it has been proclaimed in a democratic platform. If this will bring them to sound views on the cnri•ency question some good will hate been aecompl;shed by it.—Palrfot. AV IMPORTANT DECISION. We have been surprised of late to see the hfontrop Republican issued withou something denunciatory of the DEMOCRAT but we hate just learned the reason.,---- _There has been a judicial decision, that the only way to meet the facts in the DE3toca.trand save the R.ad;cal Prohibi tion party, is to "keep mum." The hope is that those who do not take the DEMO— cn_ti• will not w_T the charges made against the "Ring" and thus the people may be left ignorant of the true state of affairs. When, in the last twenty years, has the Montrose Republican been sewed , up btfore ?. Are the people of this coun ty to be hoodwinked by the silence of the ."CourtHouse Ring?" We should think the Ring would not only be silent but that they would hide their igoorniniona head.g, in some dark cave. Silence gives consent to the charges made by the DE3IOCRA.T and the people will govern 'themselves accordingly. REPAYMENT. During all these past years of Radical rule, when "the Government'• was the I.; idol of the faithful Loyal Leagues, and that parental authority. which those it scourged were forced to love by the force • _ of the army, it was the test of loyalty to subscribe money with lavish hand to "the Government" tc carry elections. Loyal Leagues were blatant in their de. !votion to Grant. When Tom Murphy 'disoraced the public service by his man— ; agement of the New York Custon house, • the "great importers" vied with the Loyal Leagues to honor Grant, who honored Murphy. It was so unselfishlan homage, so disin . terested a devotion, that the people were amazed at such a return to the glonous •emanation of the teachings of the golden age. But there is always a compensation for great sorrows,as well as great joys. While - the great importers were lashing (Mt their cash for Grant and the Radical party, there was going on a quiet dodge by which - all the cash might come back.— Nolitidy knew the "compensation" for all this ile'rotiml :to Grant. It comes out. ,now that Lawrence, not the man whom the St. Lawrence Ricer was named, after but some other Lawrence, was "watering the stock" of imported goods, so that the genuine articles were bought at non ; genuine - prices, and , sold "at cost, to close • out business," which Means a splendid profit. ilre
