il EORGE W. WILCOX, Esq.
OF PtTTERSos.
The (.'liargcsof the Republican are Con
tradictory. TilK Repuilian of last week does not j
repeat the charge that we received Judge
Pomeroy's card from the hands of (ad.
Robinson which we have already twice
Mated that wc did not. It abandons
that, charge, and declares that we "said
that Col Robiiisou did not write the
card. There is uo more truth in this
new charge than there was in the for
mer one. We never said a word in any
article as to who wrote the Judge's card
if announcement. Its authorship was
not ia question. What we wrote iu re
gard to the card was' that wc had not re
ceived it from the Colonel himself aud
had not seen him about it until after it
was published. Tbe articles themselves
tell that and nothing more. Not a line,
Uot a word, appeared iu tbe Sknti.NkL
iu regard to the writing thereof, and we
now offer a reward of one hundred dol
lars to any man who can produce a Juni
ata Seminkl piinted at this affiee that
contains a word as to who wrote the card
in question. Now produce your evi
deuce, or you stand condemned by jnur'
own riff-raff journal.
It also makes another charge. It
charges us with falsehood because we
said it was pledged lo Mr. IV-ker months
ago for Congress. All lhat is necessary
to ascertaiu who talks correctly on this
point, is to take up that pnper and read
.the name of "Hon. John 15 Packer for
Congress" where it has been at the bead
of Its columns for months. That is not
a private pVrle by letter, or a pledge by
personal iutirview, or lhrigh the agency
of a third party It is more'than all
these cnuitined. It is a public pledge,
a public adherence, and aiinonuncement
that be is the choice, and that no others,
need expect any political favors.
Hut Mr.Packer's name not only appeared
every week as the choice of that paper,
in its first editorial columns, but be re
ceived an editorial recommendation at
its hands ; and yet with all this evi
dence, it says it was not pledged to him.
We do not think it possiblo to find
anywhere in Pennsylvania, outside of ibe
li-publican office, an editor so stupid or
malicious as to declare one thing at the
head of a column and a few "slicks" far
ther down in ibe tame colurau. contra
diet and falsify himself uch men have
little intelligence, or they believe that
those to whom their paper is sent have
not sufficient intelligence to detect their
unprincipled work.
It condemns itself when it complains
that it did not receive Judge Pomeroy's
card for publication Why should it
want this card wbeu it was declaredly in
Xr. Packer's interest t
Wby should it want his card when it
denounced those who were for him as
fools ? It says we were a fool for urging
the Judge when a majority of tbe dis
trict bad declared for Packer.' Wby
should it wieb to announce him and be a
fool too T Unwittily it places itself in
the setae catalogue. Tbe editor should
be run through college once more. Per
haps at tbe second exit be would be able
to keep tbe articles tLat be writes in
something like an intelligent shape.
Cut mark tbe continued contradiction.
It says it was not pledged to Mr. Packer,
i and a few lines further on in the same ar
ticle it declares that "it was known as the
avowed friend of Mr. Packer." Uo
much truth is there in people who so
contradict themselves. Characters with
such contradictory statements on the wit
uesa stand in a court of jtuticc would be
ruled out immediately.
We have not the epace now further t
pursue their mass of contradictory state
roents, but may do so in a future nuffl
Lcr.
As to Mr. Lyons and Dr Fterrett,
we have stood in the relationship of a
personal friend to both, and have done
and said nothing between the gentlemen
that cannot be done and said anywhere,
and we shall be glad if Dr Sterrettt be
comes one of the representatives of thin
Senatorial district in the Constitutional
Convention.
Therb is a political coterie of Demo
cratic doctors in this county. Of them,
as physicians, nothing of au unfavorable
character can be said. Tbey are all good
doctors. Hut a stiffer set of ring men
cannot be found anywhere in the State.
They ride whip and doctor their party
till it fairly groans under the weight of
their infliction. This coterie or ring had
Wm. Jackman, who ia a brother-in law
to one of tl.e doctors, placed at the head
of the County Committee as chairman.
Mr. Jackman. almost every week,
has something to say about Grant' placing
some of bis family in office, and hereto
fore be bag always held that to (dace
relatives in office is wrong. That was
one of his strong points against Grant.
Why he has allowed his brother in law
to so wo;k upon bis convictions as to be
pursuaded to take au office from his rela
tive, be does not explain.
It is presumed that the Register here
after will be silent on the question of rela
tives giving and taking office. It will
be nicer under present circumstances to
talk about something else. As President
Grant's relations in office formerly bore
heavily on Mr. Jacktnan, so now Mr.
Jackman bears heavily on the Demo
cratic party in this county outride of the
ring, and loud and long were the pro-
! tests that were uttered when he git that
! place.
Those dissa'isfied are not the riffraff
of the party, for in their ranks are meu
who, morally, socially, financially, and
intellectually a"re the equals of the best
people in the county. These dissatii-fied
people issued a call for tbe Committee to
re assemble at the Court (louse, on at
urdiy tbe 24th inst. The ring thought
it best to go into that arrangement, too.
and get possession of the meeting that
was called. Riders were coursing in all
directions throughout the county on Wed
nesday night the night of the day on
which the call was issued to post tbe
ting committeemen.
Wbeu Saturday came, all was " cut
and dry." The ring-leaders were in
town, and the meeting was set up before
the tap of the Court House bell called
the Committee. Whatwoull any man
but a ring man do iu euch a crowd.
What?
Dr. Banks was the orator of the oc:a
sion. His subject was the o.-teterics of
Mr. Jackman, whom be delivered over
to the anxiously awaiting nursing ring in
such a nice quiet tone of voice that it
requin d a great stretch of the attention
to catch the words as they fell from bis
lips.
Mr. Jackman 's enthronement being
completed, a committee offered a series of
resolutions on rings, during the reading of
which the author was the object of an
innumerable number of cross eyed looks,
such as a heretic gets when be happens
into a Catholic pow vow. But the last of
the Series nearly took the breath out of
the ring. It was nothing short of a res
olution that the proceedings of the meet
ing should be also published in the In
dependent. That journal bad never been
recognized by these gentlemen, and lhat
it should be brought before them in such
a manner was perfectly shockiug.
One man a doctor moved that the
resolutions be reconsidered. Tbe chair
man tugged him by the coat sleeve
Then silence reigned briefly. Then the
same man broke out iu a resolve that
the resolutions be adopted.
The chairman stated that the Commit
tee had business of a private character to
transact, and requested the audience to
withdraw. The reporter of the Senti
nel, not having received an invitation to
remain, of course witbdiew, and thus ends
the chapter.
A Philadelphia paper says, au impor
tant move has just been made by the
Municipal Reform Association. A peti
tion has been presented to Judge McKeu
nan in the United States Circuit Court,
asking for the appointment of inspectors
to "watch at the polls on the 8th of Oc
tober to sea tbat no frauds are perpetra
ted."
Gov EttNoit Hoffman, of New York
declines a renomination. He says that
he bas been a candidate three timet, and
was twice elected, and now be deems it
hh duty not to stand iu t he way of others.
Thk Adams family of Massachusetts
will not support Greeley. Such ia the
latest intelligence.
The Republicans of New York have
nominated Gen. J. A. Dix for Governor.
SPEECH OF THOMAS Y. COOFEB, ESQ.
THE COXSPIKACY EXPOSED.
Evans and Paine Hartranft's A censers.
Read: Read:! Rend IS!
We surrender our editorial space to
tbe following remarks that were made by
Thomas V. Cooper, Esq., of Delaware
connty, before the Republican County
Convention, held iu West Chester, on
Tuesday. Let every one read and fa
miliarize themselves with the character
of the conspiracy that has been entered
into to defeat the Republican nominee
for governor.
In dropping in to witness your delibe
rations I had no though of being called
upon to address you. lie would fal in
deed, however, who could not give a
word of encouragement in this, the fifth
national contest of tbe great Republican
parry in behalf of a party who.e previ
one contests have all, save the first, and
then it was in its swaddiug clothes,
proven successful in behalf of a party
which has grown with each contest, and
which is now promised a victory greater
than any yet achieved. Added to its il
lustrious history is a power unknown to
other organizations the power to purify
itself for i.i the present, ad in all previ
ous struggles, we see that tboac who are
actuated simply by personal motives
leave it, and see also that their places
are always more than filled by others.
At a lime when its principles are al
most universally recognized to be just
when its old and open enemies attempt
a claim of the sole right to ad posses
sion of these principles, and indeed of
their former advocates, how else can it
be than that those who leave do it from
private and personal reasons 1 They
claim tbat tbe mission of Republicanism
has been filled. Do they not mistake tbe
situation 1 Isn't it rather that their
own missions have been filled that they
have had more than their share aud must.
now look elsewhere ; that they have
taken more stock out of the concern than
they put in, and that their only hope is
in a new departure.
The candidates presented on the na
tional ticket command our attention and
support. In General Grant we recog
nize a man who has led us to to import
ant victories before we recognize one
who is not merely a military hero, but
whose general management, careful
economy, aud s!ii- regard for the rights
of till classes of citizens, stamp as poss-
sess'ng the safer and better attributes of
statesmanship In Henry Wilson we
find a true type, a fitting outgrowth of
Republican institutious an example to
the struggling and humble, a pride to
the prosperous anil great.
TUB CONSPIRATORS.
But that which should command our
immediate and more earnest attention is
the State ticket, for upon tbe prelim
inary or October struggle will depend
the contest. To this point will be di
rected every effort to deceive aud divide.
We already find tbat Gen llartianftis
the mark for every venomous arrow, aud
eince we must bear the shock of the bat
tle, it is our duty as good ilepublicaus,
all the more firmly to stand by him. J,
for one. have good leason to know tbat
bis personal and official iulegiity it above
reproach. Late in the legislative ses
sion of last winter, I was unwillingly
made acquainted with those who are now
and were then, in conspiracy against him.
About nine o'clock in the tuoruing, I re
ceived a no:e requeuing my presence at
one of the rooms of the Lochicl. There
I was introduced by one of. my constit
uents, who, it was subsequently shown,
was one of Evaus' securities, to George
0. Evans, accused of appropriating $-'91,-900
of the State's moneys, to Dr. Payne,
the Attorney General Strohan, and oth
ers. '1 bese parties wished toe to intro
duce to the House a series of resolutions
impeaching the honesty of Ilartranft iu
his management of the auditiog depart
ment, and of Mackey, the chief of the
Treasury. They went into a long ex
plana lion of their personal movement,
and endeavored to pledge me that if I
became its Legislative champion, my
name should be heralded throughout the
State and nation as a "model reformer "
They spoke largely of their power and
means, saying lhat they could control
8500,000, not for ibe purchase of voters
in favor of the resolutions, but as a moral
support to the movement that this
amount and this support would come
through some unnamed channel of reform.
They named many of the newspapers
that could be freely counted upon to
back the undertaking by glowing articles
and such evidence as would at least
waken suspicion in the public mind.
Among these newspapers were named
the New York Tribun". and ,S''n, the
Philadelphia , and Lancaster, liar
risburg aud Pittsburg journals of large
influence. Au introduction of the reso
lutions would bo immediately followed
by flaming articles from these and other
sources, and, if necessary, the question
could be pushed into the Legislature by
speeches, and evidence could be procur
ed sufficient to injure Hartranft's chances
lor a nomination and election. When
ny.ed fur this evidence, a draft, a nve,
one t.r tiro private letter and the looks
of Yerket & Co , were shown. An ex-
amin'ilion of an hour c 'minced me that
nothing in the lca-4 degree tangible teas
produci-d. and inlfqucnt development
have shown that every atom of teslim'my
bore only upon prica'e pcr'unul
transactions that nm' of (hem were in
any way connected icith the e of the
State fundt. Vihen this objection teas
urg'd th-y could not meet it, und the
party plainly shoved by rord'and act

Uteir oic at they mere t-ld. with a
view to intimidate H'rtrant from any

Stale aja'xti Earns When aeked to
treat the conversation as confidential, I
told them that Ilartranft ongbt to know
it ; that as a friend I would tell him, and
bis after conduct would attest bis guilt
or iunocence. Somewhat to my surprise,
they then manifested a willingness that
be should be informed of what bad
transpired, aud then my suspicions were j
confirmed that the whole movement was ,
designed to scare him off from a proper
prosecution. I, however, told Ilartranft
a few minutes, afterv, His reply was :
"Tbeee parties have for the past twenty
four hours been trying to get some one
to introduce their resolutions, and only
last night they offered me &8 000
to withdraw the prosecution, aud I re
fused. The lowest amount due the State
may be based upon the decision or bail
fixed by Judge Pearson, and that is
$100,000. The suit shall not be with
drawn until the Slate gets her due, and
if these parties want investigation they
can have it I" Then followed, not the
introdution of the resolutions of Evans &
Co., for in enmnwn with myxilf fiery

those which lead to the investigation,
wherein Ilartranft was unanimously ac
quitted and some of the Evans ring were
condemned.

There having ben no candidate before
the people fur Prothonotary, the Judges
nominated Robert Laird, of Beale town
ship. Mr. Laird is worthy and competent
in every way to discharge tbe duties of
Clrk of the Courts.
No candidate for Auditor having been
nominated by the party, it became the
duty of the Judges to nominate one.
George XV. Wilson, of Patterson, was
nominated. The nomination is a good
one.
The Judges selected the chairman to
appoint tbe Senatorial and Representa
tive Conferees to confer with other coun
ties in choosing delegates to the State
Convention. E. W H Kreider, John
Motzer and James XV. Dean are the Sen
atorial Conferees, and J S Lukens.
Dauiel Kauffman and Thomas Patton are
the Legislative Conferees.
4Capt J. J. Patterson, Wm. M Allison,
and J. XV. Wharton were appointed Con
gressional Conferees.
Dr. Sterrett and Mr. Mntbersbaugh
were allowed to select their own -Conferees.
Dr. Graham, William Grouinger and
Thomas Morrow were appointed a com
mittee on resolutions, and reported the
following :
