On Horseback.
The very thing they fought so long
and so bitterly they have at last em
braced. Column after column have
the Democratic newspapers spewed
out concerning the "man on horse
back. "Of course the career of the great
party of "Tilden and Reform" is well
known to the people of the United
States of America. Anything to win
- has been their motto. They ran
Greeley and were defeated. And
Greeley was the man of all men they
most hated. The Democratic party
can be depended on for one thing and
that is uncertainty. Ever watchful
they attempt to reach power by any
means that is within reach. They
would even have nominated Gen eral
Grant had they believed his election
would have followed as the result.
Hope deferred has made the heart of
the great party sick, and now they
look and look expecting that fickle
Fate will turn In their favor. Now
have they turned to a soldier to carry
tliera through, after having contin
ually fought against soldier candi
dates. A loyal soldier Is commissioned
to lead to victory the forlorn hope of
"Solid South," "Rebel Brigadiers,"
"Ku Klux," "Shotgun Policy," and
all the crimes thrown In wlthwhich the
Democratic party isjustly charged.How
could these rebels and rebel sympathiz
ers be in company with a man who
was loyal to the core, and at the very
time these men were fighting against
the flag or aiding those who did, the
candidate they have chosen was lead
ing to victory the splendid armies of
the North, and winning imperishable
renown on many a hard fought field.
His military honors have received
a tarnish through the nomination of
the great anti-war and anti-loyal
party. The "Superb Soldier" is in
mighty poor company to say the least.
How like the ghost of a "man on
uiireeuTOK win tne suostance or a
brave leader of brave men be to the
wf.olid South" fire eaters and the
'"Solid North" sympathizers. The
first flush of Hancock's nomination
seemed to be acceptable to the Democ
racy, but when they remember how
frightened they used to be at the ap
paration of the "man on horseback
the pain that will rankle in their side
will take much of the first sweetness
away, and leave them disconsolate
and forlorn. They have the audacity
to claim Pennsylvania for the sol
dier candidate of their creating. But
the winds of November will shive
that delusion by a majority of 30,000
In the old Keystone State for Garfield
the brave soldier and tried statesman
The work of the Democratic party
will damn them, beyond all recovery
by a "soldier candidate." Men who
would like to vote for"IIancock the Su
perb Soldier" will hesitate long before
they vote for"Hancock thesolid Demo
crat." The "man on horseback" has
been an eye sore to them many times
before, and the subterfuge of tliei
"man ou horseback" shall not win
them a trick. Friends and fellow
citizens we all know the old Demo
cratic party, and we also know that
it is now the same old fox with a new
aide. Punch a hole in the hide and
you will find an old Democrat. Put
no dependence in their fair promises
or their fair candidates. Remember
that Democracy never changes, unless
for. the worse.
Democratic National Convention.
At Cincinnati, June 24, the Demo
cratic party of the U. S. held their
pow-wow, and nominated a candidate
for President. And went through all
the forms of holding a convention
Just the same as though they expected
to elect their man. Which of course
tbey know there is not a ghost of
chance of tbeir doing
On the first ballot for President
Hancock had 171 votes; Bayard, 153 ;
Payne, 81 ; Field, 65 ; Thurman, 68J ;

The second ballot resulted; Total,

This man English, was in Congress

The Rattle Lines Brawn.
(Philadelphia prcus.
The lines of the great national bat
tle are now drawn. Both parties have
raised their standards and presented
their tickets. The leaders are chosen ;
their significance Is known; the prin
ciples are defined; the canvass is
shaped, and it remains simply to
fight out the contest. With the men
and the Issues made up, it is left for
the American people to pass deliberate
judgment.
Even dwarfing the struggle to the
mere question of men, there is wide
dlirerence. The Republican nomina
tion means expcrlonce.statesmanship,
culture, rlpo public knowledge, dis
tinct and known opinions, elevated
alms and natural leadership In civil
affairs. The Democratic nomination,
however unexceptionable in a per
sonal point of view, means inexperi
ence, rawness in publio life, lack of
stateuianshlp, undefined and un
knowu opinions and necessary subor
dination to controlling party influen
ces. General Garfield is a trained
master of public afl'airs, an original
thinker, a creative force and a man of
pronounced aud declared views upon
every question of public interest
The people are not compelled to take
him on trust. They know what he
thinks and how he acts. General
Hancock, on the other hand, is un
tried in civil life and unknown in all
relations to public questions.
But it is far more than a question of
men; it Is a grand trial of parties.
The leaders cannot be separated from
their supporters. Least of all can an
inexperienced and untrained cuudi
date be treated independently of the
political influences behind him. His
very lack of knowledge and qualifi
cation will compel him to rely upon
those who have made him the figure
head of their fight. The personality
of General Hancock is the smallest
element of the canvass; the command
ing question for the country is whether
it is prepared to accept the evils of
Democratic success. Is it ready to
hand the Government over to the
party which tramples on equal rights,
stifles free speech and free ballots in a
large section of the land, organizes
usurpation and revolution in Maine,
attempts to nullify the laws, strikes
at all the safeguards of an honest ballot-box,
deranges the industries of the
country, threatens financial distur
bance and exalts State sovereignty
over National supremacy? The man,
chosen without references to any prin
ciples, is nothing; the party spirit
dominant aud unchangeable, is every
thing. The battle comes then between pat
riotic and progressive Republican ism
and reactionary and destructive Dem
ocracy. In such a contest no Repub
lican can falter and the country can
not hesitate. If men could obliterate
all the memories of earlier recreancy,
the Democratic demonstrations of the
past two years would warn them
against advancing that party to power.
If it comes now under a more speci
ous disguise it is the more dangerous
and the Nation will be roused to the
high demands of the struggle.
Steady the Old Guard.
The most remarkable feature of the
Chicago Convention, and one which is
without a parallel in the records of
political conventions, was the un
swerving fidelity to their principles
and their man shown by the delegates
who sought to secure the nomination
of General Grant. On the thirty-fifth
ballot a panic struck the anti. Grant
men and they sought to out strip each
other in abandoning their own candi
dates and combining to beat "the sit
ent man." At such a moment it was
not unnatural to expect that even the
faithful ranks of the Grant men might
waver and break in the contagion of
excitement. But just as the roll call
of the last ballot was given the State
of Alabama being called a voice was
heard, clear and resouaut above all the
din of the Convention, "steady the
OLD Ol'AHD, ALL ALONO THE
line?'' and not a man failed to re
cognize the watchword or hesitated to
respond to the caM. On the last ballot
Grant had two votes more than he
had on the first. The man who so
well and opportunely gave expression
to the thought which animated the
"faithful three hundred" wa9 General
Thomas L. Kane, delegate from this
district, aud as that fact has not before
been publicly mentioned, we take
pleasure in recording it. It was one
of the most significant incidents of
the Convention and eminently charac
teristic of the brave and loyal soldier
who figured in it. Bradford Star.
The Harrisburg Patriot publishes
series of resolutions adopted by a
meeting of bolters in General Gar
field's congressional district, in 1876.
The resolutions generally were attacks
upon his character, but oue tells how
wickedly he acted in voting for the
coinage bill of 1873, by which, as the
silver men declare, the coins of that
metal were "demonetized" This
cause for denunciation will not count
for much, in these days, when people
have come to an understanding of the
silver question, but as to the others it
is to be noticed that the people of the
XlXth district of Ohio did not regard
them, for General Garfield's majority,
which was 6,348 in 1874, increased, in
1870, after the Issuance of this list of
resolutions, to 8,683 an additjon of
more than two thousand, aud again in
1878, it rose to 7,613. The Patriot
might mention these facts to its Demo
cratic readers, and they can judge for
themselves of how much consequence
the bolter's proceedings were, and how
much weight they had among the
people who know General Garfield
best.

Good Testimony to General Garfield's
Innoccnoe. And all from a Democrat.
Nobody, we suppose, doubts for a
moment the simon-pure Democracy of
J. 8. Black His record Is made, and
lie is known everywhere as a truth
loving, truth-speaking, honest man
whose chief fault lies In his being a
Democrat.
Mr. Garfield has been and Is now
charged with "guilty connections"
with Oaks Ames' grand Credit Mo
bilier scheme. We call the attention
of Democrats and Republicans allk
to the following letter written bv Mr
Black In 1871 to Hon.James O. Blain
who at that time was speaker of the
House of Representatives:
Philadelphia, Feb. 15, 1873,
My Dear Sir From the begin
ning of the investigation concernin
Mr. Ames' use of the Credit Mobilter
I ocucveu that General Uartleld was
free from all guilty connection wltl
mat Dusmcss- This opinion was
founded not merely on my confidence
In his integrity, but on some special
knowledge of the case. I may hav
told yeu nil about it in conversation
but I desire now to repeat it by way of
reminder.
I assert unhesitatingly that, what
ever Gen. Garfield may have done or
forborne to do, he acted In profound
Ignorance of the nature and character
of the tiling which Mr. Ames was
proposing to sell. He had not th
slightest suspicion that he was to be
taken into a ring organized for th
purpose or defrauding the public, nor
did he know that the stock was in any
manner connected with anything
which, came or could come, within the
legislative jurisdiction of Congress
The caseagainst him lacked the
scienter which alone constitutes guilt.
In the winter of 1809 70 I told Gen
Garfield of the fact that his name was
on Ames's list; that Ames charged him
with being one of the distributees; ex
plained to him the character, origin
aud objects of the Credit Mobilier;
pointed out the connection it had with
Congressional legislation, and showed
him how possible it was for a member
of Congress to hold stock iu it without
bringing his private interest in con
flict with his public duty. That all
this was to him a perfectly new revel
atious. I am as sure as I can be of
such a fact, or of any fact that is cap
able of being proved only by moral
circumstances. He told me the
whole story of Train's offer to him
and Ames's subsequent solicitation
and his own action iu the premises
mudi as he details it to the commit
tee. I do not undertake to reproduce
the conversation, but the effect of ital I
was to convince me thoroughly that
when he listened to Ames he was per
fectly unconscious of anything evil.
I watched carefully every word that
fell from him on his point, and did
not regard his narrative of the trans
action in other respects with much
interest, because in my view eve
thing else was insignificant. I did
not care whether he had made a bar
gam technically binding or not; his
integrity depended upon the question
wneiuer ne nan acted with his eyes
open. If ho had known the true
character of the proposition made to
him he would not have endured It
much less embraced It.
iSow, couple this with Mr. Ames's
admission that he gave no explanation
whatever of the matter to Geu. Gar
field, then reflect that not a parti jle of
proof exists to show that he learned
anything about it previous to his con
versauon wim me, ami J tliinlt you
will say that it is altogether unjust
to put him on the list of those who
knowingly and willfully joined the
fraudulent association in question.

New ork Times: "The situation
iu all important respects may be re
garueu as sunpiy mis: The two par
ties go belore the country on what
they have done or failed to do, with
the assurance on the part of the Re
publicans that all the best tendencies
of the party will be promoted by the
election of its candidate, and with the
probability on the Democratic side
that the tendencies of that party to
ward error in doctrine and in practice
will find no restraint from its candi
date."
A few years ago, when General
John F. Hartranft was the Republi
can candidate for governor of Penn-
splvania, the Democratic press of the
State bestowed upon him the elegant
title or Hangman Hartranft. It had
happened that at the time of the ex
ecution of the persons who were privy
to the plot to assassinate President
Lincoln, General Hartranft was a sub
ordinate of General Hancock, who

Luolfer was all right until his
ambition led him Into bad company.
His record as an angel, according to
Milton, was good, but subsequent
events seem to indicate that he never
reformed hell very much. Hancock's
military record is really less leaven for
about the same sized lump and his
failure will be a conspicuous one.
President Hayes says he feels no
anxiety about the success of the Re
publican Presidential ticket. He be
lieves that the little enthusiasm
worked up by the Democrats over
Hancock's nomination will wholly
die out. before November; that Gar
field will' carry Ohio without doubt,
and that Indiana will be carried by
the Republicans, both In October and
November.
The Chicago Times (Dem.) does
not enthuse over the nomination of
Hancock. It says: "If the party at
Cincinnati had fulfilled its oppor
tunity it would have chosen for Its
leader a statesman not a soldier.
Therefore it is that the nomination of
General Hancock is a mistake, if not
a blunder. Ie is not the man for
leader of a political party in this or
any other political emergency."
-New York Tribune: "General
Hancock fought bravely to save the
Union, and to give the slaves the
rights of Freemen; yet General Han
cock's chance of being elected depends
solely upon the surpresslou of these
freemen's rights in every Southern
State where their Votes would give a
Republican majority. If the negroes
vote as they prefer, that is, if they
vote as every other freeman will vote,
General Hancock can never be Presi
dent of the United States, not even if
be carry New York, New Jersey, In
diana and Connecticut."
What's now to become of Fitz
John Porter, since Congress has ad
journed? What's to become of Spof
ford, who was led to believe that he
could steal Kellogg's seat in the sen
ate? What's to become of Curtiu,
Donnelly and the other would-be seat
stealers In the House? Will these
worthies all take the stump for the
nominee at Cincinnati, and go forth
to tell the people what a terribly
wicked man Gen. Garfield has been
aud is? As he campaign is to be
made one "of personal calumny, ma
terial and machinery like that re
ferred to will of course be largely
utilized by the Democratic leaders.
McKean Miner.
It is announced that Senator
Blaine will spend a month at the
White Sulphur Springs, iu Virginia,
for the benefit of his health, after
which time he will take the stump
for Garfield and Arthur, going wher
ever he may do the most good until
after the election'. Senator Logan has
also announced his determination to
take an active part in the campaign.
There will be no laggards this year,
and If the Democracy hope for success
through disaffection on the part of Re
publicans they will be badly disap
pointed. In our own State the party
is a unit in favor of the ticket, and the
only question is "how many thousand
shall the majority be."
Burlington, Vt. June 2-1. The
Republican State Convention to nom
inate candidates for governor, lieu
tenant governor, treasurer and presi
dential electors met this morning.
General Ripley was chosen chairman.
Hon. John W. Rowell nominated
Colonel Roswell Farnnam of Bradford
for governor. The nomination was
received with long applause. It was
seconded and he was nominated by
acclamation. The following addi
tional nominations were then made;
Lieutenant governor, General John
L. Barstow; State treasurer, John A.
Page, the present incumbent. Gen.
William H. Lynde of Brattleboro and
Gen, Ripley of -Rutland were chosen
presidential electors-at-Iarge. The
National Republican platform was
adopted.
Canadian law requires the previous
announcement in church of every
marriage, or a license from a County
Clerk, and the latter procedure costs
about $7. The conseouence is that
numerous couples cross into the
United States to be united. Detroit
clergymen and Justices do a great deal
of this business. The Herald of that
city says that half a dollar
was the fee formerly, but now
2 is usually demanded. The follow
ing is a reported conversation after the
knot has been tied : "Now, $2 if you
please,"remarked the Justice urbanely
to the bridegroom. "I've no money,"
said that individual, turning to his
love; "you pay the-gentleman." The
lady turned upon him with Are in her
eye. "Pay him yourself. No money,
did you say? You've cot nlentv of
money, and I know it." "Come, now,
Sally, stop that nonsense, and don't
be givin' that gentleman so much
trouble after he's done so much for
ye: give him the $2." 'For mo is it?
guess It's for you, too, and you'll
pay him if he's paid at all." But the

penniless, ' until finally the bride

Let's see : General Hancock
fought for the Union and he is now
the nominee of the party that fought
against the Union. The whirligig of
time shows many changes. The
country is in no deadly peril. When
it was, the Democracy would have
preferred to hang a Union General
rather than nominate him. Rochester

The New York Tribune prints the
following despatch from Meadville, in
this State: "The half dozen stiu'ents
who represented Democracy in Alle
gheny College got together and sent a
congratulatory telegram to General
Hancock. If the General could have
been in the college chapel and heard
the cheers that greeted the announce
ment of the nomination of Garfield,
and could know the fact that by actual
vote all the faculty and over ninety
per cent, of the students are for Gar
field, he would not derive much en
couragement from that despatch.
Such death bed devotion to the
soldiers will deceive no one, least of
all the soldiers themselves. The nomi
nation of Hancock will be recognized
by all sensible men simply as a despe
rate attempt of a party which has been
out of power for twenty years, and
whose long fast has given it the hun
ger of the wolf, the assuranecof a high
wayman, and the brass of Satan him
self to climb once more into place and
powerand provender by an exhibition
of fervent regard for a great American
soldier. The peoplo of this' country
are not fools. The meaning of the
nomination is too transparent to de
ceive them. Albany Journal.
An Englishman who travelled up
the Nile states that his heard, which
at home was straight, soft, and silky,
began immediately on arriving at
Alexandria to curl, and to grow crisp,
strong, and coarse. Before reaching
Es Souan it resembled horsehair to
the touch and was disposed in ringlets.
He accounts for this by the exceeding
dryness of the air, and considers that
nine course or many generations it
permanently curled and crisped the
hair of negroes. The hair on th
traveler's head was not affected.

side of It ns desired, and always kept In line.
The beam is adjustable for Spring or Full
Plowing, and also for two or three horses.
The handles can be adjusted to accommo
date a man or boy, on the same Plow.
It Is a perfect Plow.
Wooden beams are going out of use because
they shrink, swell and warp, and never run
two seasons alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams become demoralized and
bend, which Is much worse than to break.
A Steel boam Is the necessity of the day. It
Is three times as strong and very much lighter
than any other Btyle.
When we sny a Mold board Is chilled, the
farmers know It Is so.
We do not palm off on them a composition
of various metals and call It chilled metal.
We want agents for this new Plow in every
town In this State.
We can give but a very small discount to
them, but we will pay the Railroad Freight.
We propose to place this Plow In the hands
of Farmers as near the cost of manufacture
as possible.
It will be the beat Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
It shall also be the cheapest.
Persons therefore who are not willing to act
as agents on the principle that "a nimble six
pence Is better than a slow shilling," need not
apply for an agency.
No Plowson commission. All sales absolute.
rw Tills Is the only steel Chilled I'low la
the World.
steel costs several times more than Iron.
But this Plow, full rigged, by giving small
discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars.
Compare this price with thatof any Iron Plow
ever made.
It Is cheaper than any other Plow now
made would be at Ave dollars and a half.
Where there are no agents we will, on re
ceipt of Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any
Railroad station In the State and pay the
freight. Address,
