Republican Primaries and County Con
vent ion,
The Republican electors of Elk
county are requested to meet in their
respective election districts at the place
of holding their last election, on S:it
unlay .September 4th, 1880,at 0 o'clock
P. M. for the purpose of choosing the
usual number of delegates to which
the district may he entitled, to attend
the county Convention for the nomin
ation of county officers to ho held in
Ridgway, September 7th, 1880, at 3
o'clock P. M.
The manner of choosing said dele
gates will be that heretofore recom
mended. It is very important that
each election district send their full
number of delegates to which it is en
titled that the Convention may fully
represent the parly interests in the
county.

Philadelphia North American :
"Ultra freetrade Democrats arc appie.
hensivc that Senator Wallace is about
to go over to protection bag and bag
gage. Gentlemen can dismiss their
fears on that score. The Senator lias
just been raking among the ashes of a
dead past and has fished up the old
dodge of 'Polk, Dallas and the tarilf
'52.' He imagines that it is a new
dodge, and is making the most of it.
He will never get out of sight of the
Democratic camp."
Despatches and reports from all
parts of Indiana, received at Cincin
nati, represents the political outlook
as better for the Republican. The
people are not unduly excited, nor are
they aroused in the rural districts as
much as in the towns, but there is
good, strong feeling, and whenever a
speaker of recognized ability is an
nounced it is easy to get up a large
meeting. County organizations are
thorough, as a rule, and the August
poll is nearly completed. Jn the larger
Republican counties a majority of
from 5,000 to 10,000 in the State is con
fidently claimed.
Troy Times: "Wade Hampton is
very careful not to say lie did not ut
ter the portions of the Staunton speech
which he now eliminates from t lie re
port. What ho does is simply to
issue a version of the speech which
has 'received his personal indorse
ment.' In this lie falls between two
millstones. The North, knowing
that lie did u'.ter the sentiments con
tained in the report, will not think
any the more of him for his evasions
and the South, seeing that he now
tries to disown his indorsement of the
"principles" of Lee and Jackson and
their relations to the Democratic
party, will look upon liim with some
thing of the contempt which he de
serves." Chalmers, the Fort Pillow butcher
Who sits upon the Democratic side of
the house of representatives to misre
present a Republican district in Mis
sippi, is reported as saying that "Han
cock will have the solid vote of the
south and will receive such a majority
in Mississippi as will make all the
radicals open their eyes with amaze
ment." Chalmers cannot surprise us
by rolling up any majority in his
state, however large. Where major
ities are obtained by absolute sup
pression of an entire political party
and by counting ballots that were
never voted, even stupendous figures
cannot cause amazement. We have
no doubt Mississippi will be curried
by the Democrats by a vast majority,
as well as several other southern states.
As long as paper can be procured to
print tissue ballots the Democrats of
the South do not propose to be
beaten. Williamsport O. & B-
New York Times: "Letters re
ceived by the Times from thirty-four
of the fifty-eight counties in this State,
outside of New York and Kings, pre
sent a strikingly impartial review of
the political situation. The correspon
dents from whom these come are
gentlemen who are capable of forming
accurate opiuions of the events of the
dav as they observe them. Many of
these gentlemen are prominent mem
Lers of the communities in which they
live, and some have a reputation
throughout the State. That they have
given a fair and unprejudiced state
ment of the sentiment in their respec
tive neighborhoods no one who reads
their letters will doubt. The loud
boast of the Democrats that General
. Hancock would capture the soldier
vote is refuted in every instance, and
it is made evident that the large ma
jority of political converts this year
will be accessions to the Republi
can ranks. In all the counties from
which returns have come a large vote
is expected, and. from all comes the
prediction tliac Garfield and Arthur
will receive a much more solid support
and larger majorities than did Hayes
and Wheel lu lSTi.."
Congressman KicfcrsnvH: "Ohio!
is safo for the Republican candidates.
I have never before seen so much
enthusiasm among all classes so early
in the campaign. The people have
organized without waiting for the
signal from the regular Committee. I
have seen no defection, and think our
vote will be very largely added to.
The working men are receiving good
wages now, and business men are pros
pering. I think that Ohio is good for
25,000 majority. We shall gain in the
Congressional districts. There is no
doubt that we shall carry twelve, and
probably fourteen, of these. "
Cleveland Ifa-ald: "The Ohio
Democrats, especially Congressional
candidates, appear to have swooped
down upon the DemocraticCoinmittee
in New York for the much-needed
bar'l. That sent to the game cock by
the buzzard was only full of soft Hoap
according to Nast, and there's no use
looking to thcShylock of Indiana for
aid. He would not even give them
the ninety-nine cents contributed in
California toward reimbursing him
the dollar lie contributed to burnt out
Chicago. So they have applied to t lie
Beliuonts nnd other Democratic
bloated bondholders in New York for
the wherewithal!, and are outdoing
Munchausen in promises of what they
will do to the Republicans if (lie bar'l
is forthcoming."
Milwaukee Sentinel: "Apparently
the only way to drop sectionalism in
politics is to give the South what it
wants and call the policy of the South
ern loaders a noble policy. However
disposed the North may be to drop the
sectional issue there is no other way to
doit. Wade Hampton says, of the
principles of the Democratic party:
'Consider what Lee and Jackson
would do were they alive. These are
the same principles for which they
fought for four year. Remember the
men who poured forth their blood on
Virginia's soil, and do not abandon
them now. Remember that upon
your vote depends the success of the
Democratic ticket.' You see that the
Southern leaders are by no moans
willing to drop the sectional issue, but
appeal to the ex-rebels to vote as thov
shot with the Democratic party for
Southern glory and profit."
Mr. William E. Dodge, the mil
lionaire philanthropist of New York
city and state, whose enterprise and
benevolence are world-wide, has de
clared for Garfield. Mr. Dodge, who
employs thousands of workiugmen
and posesses great influence, vole 1 for
Tilden in IHTti. Mr. Dodge called on
General Garfield while that gentleman
was in New York city, last week, and
upon being introduced to the enndi
date lie said: "It gives me pleasure
to take the next President of the
United States by the hand." Mr.
Dodge's declaration for Garfield will
lie worth many votes to the Republi
can ticket in New York and Pennsyl
vania. Shrewd business men do not
want to see a change of administration
now that the country is prosperous.
Mr. Dodge, who is well known in
WilJianisport, is largely interested in
business here and adjoining counties,
and Ids position on the Presidential
question is a si l aw showing how busi
ness men feel in this political crisis,

Cleveland Leader: "Whenever
there is any opportunity for a Confed
erate Democrat In take an unfair ad
vantage of tiie North lie will avail
himsell oi n. iJici-Mitnii now aims,
with the aid of Northern doughfaces,
to re-establish its old supremacy in the
Government, and to achieve this il
will resort to every artifice, honest or
dishonest. It is with this view that
Southern politicians have magnified
their population, making the increase
in sections cut oil" from the stream of
immigration and weakened by the
exodus double the ratio of gain in
Ohio, treble that of Michigan and live
times that of New England. General
Walker a few days ago declared that
lie had no evidence of fraud, but lie
now admits that the reported gains in
the South are dillicult to account for.
The fact is that they are purely Dem
ocratic frauds perpetrated for the pur-
posoof robbing the North of its right
ful supremacy in the National Gov
ernment. It is a new scheme to re
vive the power of the Lost Cause, a
suitable adjunct to the shot-gun and
Pssuo-bullot policy."
Mr. Mu rat Halstoad of the Cincin
nati Commercial Un written another
letter to the editor of the New York
Herald on the bargain by which
English was nominated for Vice Presi
dent. He concluded as follows: "A
weaker nomination than that of Eng
lish could iiot have been made. He
is representative not of popularity in
his State, but of the revenge of Mast
em and Southern Democrats oUciidcd
by the course of Hendricks (fallen for
ever from his pedestal labeled 'the
great and only Indiana statesman')
in refusing to go on and make the
light Of 1H80 with the ticket of 1870
doing this upon the preposterous
assumption that his party owed him
the Presidency, and that all things
must he shaped to aid in the payment
of that debt. The appearance of Gov
ernor Hendricks on the stump cannot
help his own ambition or the fortunes
of his party. He lias committed the
unpardonable political sin, and lags
grotesque as well as superfluous on the
stage. Ho has done bis country the
service of preparing bis State for a
Republican victory that will decide
this cumpaign, when lie shall have
the leisure of the remainder of his life
for the cu'tlvation of his brilliant pro
fessional career; but one apprehends
that there is not in the consciousness
of this achievement the assurance of
consolation."

Hampton's Staunton Speech.
Nearly a month after General Wade
Hampton has mode his famous speech
to the Confederate Democrucy of
Staunton, Virginia, an attempt is
made to deny that lie uttered the lan
guage attributed to him. In the
speech, as originally reported, the fol
lowing occurred:
"Consider what Loo and Jackson
would do were they alive. These are
the same principles for which they
fought for four years. Remember the
men who poured forth their life blood
on Virginia's soil, and do not abandon
them now. Remember that upon
your vote depends the success of the
Democratic ticket.
This language was quoted far and
wide by (he Republican press through
out the north, as n fair illustration of
the spirit pervading the Southern
Democracy, and the means being re
sorted to by desperate leaders like
Hampton to arouse the old Confeder
ates to the support of General Han
cock. The ell'ect upon the Northern
people was electrical and attended
with undoubted damage to the cause
of the Democratic party. Appeals
have been showered upon Hampton
from Northern leaders to deny that he
used the language above quoted. Up
to this time all ho has done in re
sponse to the supplications was tosend
to the New York Herald what he calls
"the only report of his speech that
"has received his personal endorso
"nieiit." Hut he docs not deny that
he made use of the words above (piloted
nor could he do so without pub
lishing himself as a falsifier. There
wire many Republicans present at
tiie Staunton meeting who are testify
ing that the extract published was a
correct version of Ids language. But
there is other evidence more dillicult
to dispose of. On the morning after
the Staunton meeting, the Staunton
Valley Virginian, the leading Demo
cratic paper of that State, contained a
very full report of Hampton's speech
and giving the peroration in full,
word for word, as printed above.
Docs any body believe that the Vir
ginian falsified General Hampton?
Not u hit of it. Like a genuine Con
federate Democratic organ, and as a
(rue represcntivo of Southern Con
federate sentiment, it applauded the
outburst of the South Carolina cavalry
leader as the correct thing. It "fired
the Southern heart," and that is what
General Hampton went to Virginia
for. The old rebel feeling had to be
aroused,, and the Palmciito leader
knew how to do it. General Chalm
ers. Wade Hampton and the rest of
these Southern men of prominence,
are as meek as lambs and gentle as
kittens when they come in contact
with Northern people, but let them
get before Soul hern audiences Mid
their sentiments undergo a very radi
cal change. The trouble is to keep
their Southern speeches out of the
hands of Northern readers. It is said
that measures have been adopted by
Chairman Barnum to prevent Demo
cratic speeches in the South being too
graphically printed in the papers of
that section, thus compelling versions
of such speeches to come through
Republican channels, when it will be
ea-y to brand them as "Republican
campaign lies."

(An I'xtrnct l'roiii a Itciit lit Spu'clu'.)
I like this country because the hon
est and industrious man is a nobleman;
I like it because a man, no matter how
poor he may be, whether a merchant
or clerk, can go home at night, take
his tow-headed boy on his knee and
-ay to him: "John, the public schools
and every avenue of distinction are
ipentoyou; your father may be igno
rant, he may not be good at figures;
but you may rise to the highest ollice
within the gift of civilized people."
fApplause and cheers. We don't
know how good this country is. Do
you know that we have more to eat
here than any. other nation on the
globe has? anil that is quite an item.
Laughter We have better clothes
and they come nearer fitting us. Ap
plause. There is more general infor
mation among our people, and it is
better distributed than in any other
country. But really the greatest
thing about our country is that there
is no country where women ami chil
dren are treated as well as they are in
tiie I'niled Slates. Cheers. Let me
tell you why. In other countries the
family is paLterned after the form of
Government. In countries where
there is a monarch, the head of the
family is a monarch; in countries
where there is a despot at the head of
the t'overument, the head of the
family is a despot. Here in this
country our familes are republican.
Every man sitting by the llreside has
a vote. Cheers. These are a few of
the reasons why I like this country.
I like it because it gave me a chance
Applause. I like it because a man
in the lowest walks of life can have u
chance. I like it because a boy who
has worked on a canul, a boy who has
driven a mule on the towpatli, a boy
who has cut wood at 25 cents a cord 1
lilce it because such a boy is going to
lie the next President of the United
States. Applause. What a mag
nificent compliment they puy to our
system of government. What a
splendid compliment they pay to t he
good half of our people by making
prominent in this canvass the fact that
the bov was poor, that the loy was
compelled to work! What in other
countries would be a mark of disgrace,
in this is transllgured into the wings
of honor and fame.

Alabama Frauds.
The "free vote and fnir count" of
the Democracy was fully illustrated in
the Alabama election. The Republi
cans on a fair ballot have at least. 20,
000 majority in the State, yet it is put
down at some 70,000 Democratic. The
Republican State Committee have is
sued an address showing how It was
done. The following from Wilcox
county is a fair sample:
Before the election the leading Re
publicans of "Wiloox county, fearing
tliey could not get a fair count in the
eastern end of the county, concluded
tii advise the Repulbicans in several
precincts not to vote, and then the
Democratic steal would be more pal
pable. Republicans posted themselves
near the polls and took down the
name of every colored man who voted.
At Snow Hill seven colored men
voted. The Democrats gave them
selves, in their official return nt this
precinct, 500 votes. But according to
the census returns of last June, there
are only 132 whites living in the pre
cinct over twenty-one years of age.
Add to the white the seven colored
votes, and wc hW? a total of V)0 votes
polled at this preVinct, 4i0 less than
the ollleial return'. At Allentown pre
cinct two colored men voted. The
Democrats gave themselves 317 votes.
The last census shows but sixty-two
whites in the precinct over twenty-two
years of age; total, sixty-four votes,
2S3 less than the ollleial return. It
was the same at Pine Apple. In Bon
hum's precinct the returns gave the
Republicans twenty-two votes and
t lie Democrats 17(3, making the total
vote 408, or 1-12 more males twenty-one
years of ago than reside in the pre
cinct, according to the census.

I A NEW DEPARTURE! V
BEST PLOW IN THE WORLD!
THE SYRACUSE CHILLED PLOW CO.
of Syraouse, N. Y.
Are now putting on the market a now that;
la as much superior to auy Plow heretofore
mode as the Plows ot Uio past lew years liavo
been superior to those niodo hall a century
ago.
It combines all tJio excellencies of any Plow
in use.
It obviates all tho objections mado to any
ether Plow.
In addition It embraces several new features
of the greatest value, for which we navo ob
tained exclusive Patents.
I la lieam.Clcvis, Jointer Standard and Wheel
Standard will be STEEL, and Its mold board
will be a composition of steel and Iron chilled
under a process for which wo havo also
obtained an exclusive Patent. It will bo
called
THE SYRACUSE
CHILLED STEEL PLOW
Its weight will bo eighteen pounds less than
our present styles.
A Urst-class Steel now, made In tho or
dinary was", full rigged, retails for twenty-two
dollars. Inferior steel Plows retail from six
teen to nineteen dollars.
The price of our new Plow will bo but
Seventeen Dollnrs, and It will be tho
cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
Its mold board will outwear three of tho
very best kinds of tho ordinary steel mold
boards.
It will scour ln6nl!s where all Btcel plows
nnd all other plows havo hitherto proved a
failure.
With this Plow will bo introduced a corru
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which
we have also obtained a Patent, and which is
also a great Improvement, both as regards
strength and wear.
Tho Jointer can be shitted' so as to take
more or less land, and also more or less pitch,
and it can always be kept on a line with tho
Plow.
The wheel will run under the beam or ono
Bide of It as desired, and always kept In line.
Tho beam Is adjustable for Spring or Fall
Flowing, and also for two or three horses.
The handles can bo adjusted to accommo
flute a man or boy, on the same Plow.
It Is a perfect Plow.
Wooden beams are going out of use becauso
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 Steet beam Is the necessity of the day. It
Is three times as strong and very much lighter
than any other Btyle.
When tc say a Wold board 13 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 tula new Plow In every
town in this state.
We can give but a very Bmall discount to
them, but we will pay the Kallroad Freight.
We propose to place tills Plow In the hands
of Farmers &3 near the cost of manufacture
as possible.
It will be the Uat Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
It shall also be the chmpttt.
Persons therefore who are not willing to act
os agents on the principle that " a nhable six
pence Is better than a slow shldiug," need nob
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission. AU salen absolute.
Wr-Thls Is the only Steel Chined Plow la
tha World.
steel costs several times moro than Iron.
But this Plow, full rigged, by giving small
discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars.
Compare this price with thutof any iron Plow
ever made.
it is cheaper than any other Plow now
made would be at five dollare and a half.
Where there are no agenw we will, ou re
ceipt of Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any
Railroad station lu the state and pay tha
freight. Address,
