TO TUB KEPUBI.ICAN VOTERS OF
Elk County. On the second day of
November next will conclude the
Presidential campaign which deter
mines what the administration for
the next four years shall be; whether
the party which has by heroic effort
An tn.on.ght, word and deed, done so
mucit for mankind mid our common
country, which has emblazoned on its
banner so plainly that he who runs
moyead, Victory on the Field,
VICTORY IN THE FORUM OF
Thought, Victory in Govern
mental Administration : whether
the Republican party with its record
of great achievements standing out in
bold relief, gilded by the sunlight of
prosperty, truth, and loyalty, shall
-continue to control the executive
'branch of our government, or,
whether the Democratic party which
has steadily, and firmly opposed free
government, free thought and free
speech; which opposed to the last
every patriotic and philanthropic
measure for the betterment of a poor
and downtrodden race; which has
been universally wrong on all great
public measures for the last twenty
ycars.and now with banners drooping
to tlx: dust in shame and defeat, it
cries out in the agony of despair, let
not our past deeds be remembered
against us, let oblivion ever keep our
record from free men. We have done
wrong in the past and now in saek
cloth and ashes will we repent if but
one ray of hope be given that our pen
itence and humility be rewarded with
power, that our feet may be washed
by boys in blue.
The small vote of our country
should not lessen the desire to be
faithful and true to our common in
terests. Let each one be sure that his
conscience is clear from a sense of
duty well done. Let every vote be
polled so the world may see that the
Republicans of this county are as
Jlrm as the Spartan band which de
fended the . pass of Thermopylae.
You all realize the great issue at stake,
and by whom you are opposed, n
party which will resort to all means
to gain power. British gold is being
brought to our shores for the purpose
of strengthening the advocates of
''tariff for revenue only,'' that the
Issue may result favorably to the labor
And capital of Europe by robbing the
laborer, manufacturer and in fact alj
industrial interests of this country.
8elf interest, self preservation calls
upon all true patriots to be vigilant
lest the mother which fed and nur
tured our government so tenderly in
177t5 now strikes us down in our man
hood aided by home assistance. This
Js no Idle talk, for danger is in the air
ready to fall on our heads unless we
are fully up to that measure of duty
which times like these demand.
Tbo fusion county ticket will also
receive your full support, I trust, as it
represents the desire of a large
portion of our people, irrespective of
party, to be liberal in county politics
when our neighbors, whom we know,
arc out for office, and also to discouu
tenance machine politics and packed
conventions. It may be that one man
can dictate to the masses for a time,
but in a county like this, so full of
free men, when dictation becomes ty
rauical or displeasing, the lock is
severed and the leader becomes
powerless. Use all honest and legal
means in your power to throw off the
yoke that has so long chafed your
. sensibilities that you may proclaim to
the world We Are Free. On
election morning go to tbo polls and
vote your own will and let him who
attempts to molest or make afraid be
aware that he is invading the sacred
rights of a citizen, which cannot be
done with impunity, for, on that day
the voter is king of uieu-
In conclusion let nie ask of you to
organize your forces and vote the
whole Republican ticket, State, Judi
ciary, and the County Fusion Ticket.
W.W.Ames,
Chairman of Republican Co. Com.
The Hartford Courant of Wednes
day says: "The returns, chiefly offi
cial, from 193 of the 165 towns which
held elections on Monday gives the
following result: Republican, 01;
Democratic, 66; divided, 10. The two
remaining towns were in 1870 one Re
publican and one Democratic. If they
voted the same way on Monday the
total result in the State will compare
with 1876 as follows:
1876. 1880.
Republican 9 02
Democratic 85 67
Divided 11 16
Net Republican gain, 23 towns.
Net Democratic loss, 28 towns."

Henry A. Parsons, Jr.,
iVesltlent Judge.
(Warren Mull.1
Who shall be our Judge for the next
ten years, is very Important to all
our people. Business men at least
will understand it. The nominees arc
Judge Rossclas Brown, Democrat, and
Hon. Wm. D. Brown, Republican,
ootn or warren. Judge Brown ran
for President Judge against Judee
Johnson twenty years ago and against
judge Wet more ten years ago and
was ueieaieu. lie is a hard money
Democrat and has represented his
party in the Legislature and Constltu
tional Convention, and is therefore
not averse to Holding oiuce. He was
appointed President Judge by Gv.
Blgler to fill the vacency caused by
the death of Judge Galbralth, before
Judg Johnson's election. This is
his only service as Judge. Nothing
can be said against his character or
legal ability. One objection to his
election is his age. The Ledger (we
thought Indiscreetly) made this oh
Jection public, so we can properly al
Hide to it. Of course a man is not to
blame for growing old. It may be his
misfortune, but we certainly don't
want it considered any man's fault.
uui ii is a serious question in a case
lfkethto for the people to consider.
They should at least understand
iue iacis. w niie tne Democratic pa
pers generally say he is 65, he 4s ta
fact in his 09th year. The chances for
actlve.hard service required in a grow
ing district like this for ten years are
cieuriy noi me oest. Those who re
member the trouble we had growing
out of Judge Galbraith's infirmities,
and in Elk county the infirmities, of
Judge V hite, will understand this.
Another objection we have heard
urged by Greenbackers is his connec
tion with the "Railroad monopolies!"
He is director in the Lake Shore com-
anyanda standing attorney for the
Dunkirk road. Whether he could be
Impartial in cases between a poor la-
orer for his only cow and thaf'bloated
bondholder," Vandcrbilt, Is a question
for his five Greenback endorsers. Wc
are surpried that they overkoked it
especially since they vote fivm princi
ple purely !
On the other hand our candidate,
Hon. Wm. D. Brown, is 57 years old
and just in his prime. He Is thor
oughly a lawyer uiitranimeled by any
business associations, and just right to
take a judgeship where hard work for
many years will be required. Of
course we can't, as the Ledger suggests,
Insure h life for ten years, but all can
see that In the natural course of events
his chances are much the best. We
epeat that without any disparagement
of Judge Brown's character or ability,
or however well we may like him per
sonally, we cannot always safely over
look the fact that the years as they
come and go may get the best of him
and send him to the rear in the great
battle of life.
Thursday Night's Display.
Willhunsport U.& B.J
The Republican demonstration
Thursday night surpassed anything
of the kind ever witnessed here
before in point of numbers, brilliancy
of equipments and enthusiasm. There
were delegations present from Lock
Haven, Jersey Shore, Limestone, Sus
quehanna, Montoursville, Hoghes-
ille, Collomsville, Muncy, Mont
gomery, Watsontown, Milton,
Lewisburg and Danville. Many of
the banners and transparencies con
tained significant as well as expres
sive mottoes, which culled forth tre-
menduous applause from the
thousands of spectators assembled on
the sidewalks to witness the gorgeous
pageant. Thirteen full bands and
nine drum corps furnished music for
the procession, which was nearly an
hour in passing a given poiut. An
interesting and prominent feature of
the demonstration was a delegation of
nearly seventy men who voted for
Fremont in 1850. They headed the
procession, and their banner bore an
appropriate and expressive inscription.
By actual count there were over 2,50o
meu in line, and if equipments could
have been procured, the number
would doubtless have exceeded 8,000.
This was a very large number, how
ever, and shows the feeling that pro
vades the masses at this time. Many
of the delegations presented a splen
did appearance as they moved through
the streets, and the display of fire
works added to the magnificence of the
Bcene. Numerous residences along
the route were not only brilliautly il
luminated, but covered with flags and
Chinese lanterns. which made a splen
did appearance. As the immense
column moved up Fourth street it
presented a gorgeous spectacle, the
hundreds of flaming lamps giving it
the appearance of a sea of billowy
fire. Owing to the excitement upon
the streets, and the desire to witness
the parade, the people were in no
mood, at the close, to listen to public
speaking, and it was very wisely dis
pensed with at the Academy, court
house and public square. Distin
guished speakers were present, but
they saw the futilty of attempting to
address the enthusiastic multitude,
and agreed that It would be better to
refrain from delivering addresses at
this time. Altogether the demonstra
tion was a great success, and one that
the Republicans of Wllliamsport and
Lycoming county have reason to feel
proud of.
Hartford, Conn., Oct. 6. there Is
great rejoicing among the Republicans
throughout the State over the result of
the town elections. They have made
a net gain of twenty-eight towns over
the election of 1870, and nineteen over
1879. The result show that the Re
publicans arc thoroughly united and
at work. Should Indina and Ohio
send us cheering returns Connecticut
can be counted en to a dead certainty
for Garfield, with a majority 0f fr0ni
aw t srK.
Proscription in Mouth Carolina.
The Washington special of the Cin
cinnati Commercial any:
"Advices troni South Carolina re
present that the Bourbon managers
nave adopted a "freezing" policy to
compel colored men to vote the Demo
cratic ticket, especially In the south
ern and western counties. The Demo
cratic clubs in Edgefield, Barnwell
and Hampton counties have already
auopieu resolutions to employ no man
wnite or colored, who will not sup
port ietnocratic nominees. The con
sequence of this is that many colored
families are said to bo homeless and
suffering for want of food.
Norlo the Democrats stop here
Resolutions go further and threaten
ostracism and more serious consequen
ccs to land owners who retain 'out
lawed persons in their employ! A
man In Hawnton countv named
Holmes, a Northern Republican, who
settled In South Carolina after the war
and built up the thriving town of Al-
meiia, on the 1'ort noyai railroad, who
has treated negroes like human beings
has been notified to desist or abide the
consequences."
All this is nothing new; it is part
of "the plan" by which South Carolina
was "redeemed trom radicalism."
This policy was urged by Wade
Hampton In 1808, when In his speech
at Charlestown, after his return from
nominating Seymour and Blair, he
said:
"Try to convince the negro that we
are his friends; but if he will not be
convinced, and is still joined to his
idols, convince him, at 'least, that he
must look to those idols whom he
serves as his gods to feed and clothe
him. Agree among yourselves, and
act firmly on this agreement, that von

It WOS by these taetlcs. reinforced
by the shot gun, that Wade Hampton
was elected governor in 1876, when
the Charleston News and Courier, the
leading paper of the State, published
day alter day such paragraphs as
these:

And yet this is what Hancock said
in his letter of acceptance:
"It is only by a full vote, FREE
BALLOT and a fair count that the
people can rule in fact, as required by
the theory of our government. Take
this foundation away aud the whole
structure falls".
Political Changes.
The Democratic newspapers and
speakers have made imich ado over
the fact that Geil. Butler, John W.
Forney, '.ten. A. L. Pearson, of Pitts
burgh riot, notoriety, and others have
joined the Hancock army. The Re
publicans seem to make little capital of
such things us they occur in every cam
paign more or less In all places. The
Republicans have as much or more of
this kind of campaign thunder than
their opponents. A few of those are
ex-Governor Austin Blair, of Mich.,
who spoke here for Tilden four years
ago, Col. J. M. Scovel, of New Jersey,
(Jen. Jack Casement, of Painesville,
who ran against Garfield for Congress
in 1870. Hon. Porter Sheldon, of
Jamestown, N. Y., a Tilden elector;

The Erie Herald, Win. L. Scott's
personal organ, has just been detected
in forging bogus soldier Hop papers.
The Jcruld hud flopped a member of
Gen. Banks' personal staff, who was
located at Kauc, Pa., but Gen. Banks
and nobody else, knows such a man.
Another bogus fiopper was located at
Pittsburgh, while on Monday of last
week the Herald published a letter
purporting to come from a veteran of
the Eighty-third Pennsylvania Regi
uient, The reunion of the veterans
was to take place at Erie on the fol
lowing day, and the writer of the let
ter thought the occasion a very happy
and fitting one for shouting "Long
live Hancock," and for the veterans
to declare for Hancock, the savior of
the nation. "J left au arm at Vicks
burg, and am ready to leave another
for Hancock and the Union," says the
writer (presumably the Herald man.)
The veterans met on Tuesday and the
letter was read and denounced as a
fraud, because the Eighty-third was
never withjn 800 miles of Vicksburg,
and the only six men of the Eighty
third in that county who lost arms
were present and avowed their stead
fast adherence to the Republican
party. The bungling attempt of Bill
Scott's paper to make capital out of
the peacelul reunion of these brave
men has strengthened the resolute to
vote for Garfield. Meadville liepubli-

A Columbus, Ohio, correspondent of
the Cincinnati Oazette telegraphed
that paper on Wednesday: ''I have
chrefully canvassed the situation here
and find that ill the minds of Republi
cans, from the shrewdest observer and
managers of the campuign down to
the country politician wiio gather in
from various parts of the State to re
nrt the progress of the campuign in
their localities, it is merely a question
of how large the Republican majority
can be made. Some are of the oppin
ion that the majority will run as low
us in 1870; others, and among them
Governor Foster, whose calculations
are generally very reliable, say that
the majority will reach 20,000."

these, as in everything else about the

blithe, happy "little lady, still very

but of course, now that the General Is

sad disappointment. The time of a
candidate for the Presidency is of
course fully occupied, but in addition
to the cares which his novel position
brings, General Garfield personally
superintends the management of his
farm, a valuable and productive

go. He has some original notion's
about farming, and is making a sort of
profession of it. All ids "improve

American Industries.
the Democratic assault on the
interests of labor.
The protective tariff, enacted bv a
Republican congress in 1861, Is an
object of especial attack this year, and
the Democrats nave put into their
national platform a clause which
guarantees the treading down of
jrotection, if the party should come
nto power. In New Jersey, whose
industiics have been developed by
the tariff, the manufacturers are seri
ously alarmed. Letters from Trenton
and New Brunswick show that in the
pottery, hosiery, rubber goods, paper
hangings and other factories, the
more intelligent and energetic, among
proprietors and men are forming asso
ciations and agitating the question of
maintaining the tan It. They consider
the welfare of both themselves and
the people of the State at stake.
THE good old TIMES."
The Democrats are fond of talking
of a return to the good old times.
Here is a specimen of them, furnished
by a member of the "Old Residents'
association of Pittsburgh'' a few
weeks since:
"When a lad, sixty years ago, we
could buy a barrel of superfine flour
for a silver five-frank piece; the com
mon retail price was SI per barrel ;
wheat 12J to 20 cents per bushel; good
beef in the market U to 2 cents a
pound. Sheep were killed for their
pelts and the carcasses were burnt.
I have my father's book to show that
a man, Francis Radelifl', worked for
him for years for $' per month, half
cash and half store pay. He had a
wife and seven children to support.
He rented three good rooms on the
first -floor for 25 cents per month, S;i
for rent per year; and when the land
lord raided the rent to 37 cents old
Radcliff never forgave him. Coal
were sold and delivered at 21 to 2j
cents per bushel."
do you want to hktukx to them.
Commenting on the foregoing a cor
respondent says : "Farmers and work
ingmen, how do yu like these
pictures of the good old times the
freetraders prate about and sure to
come if a tariff for 'revenue only' is
once more placed on our imports ? Do
you, workingmcu, wisli to go back to
the price of labor in those times, with
their long hours? Think of it, s?0o per
year, and half in store pay, with
cotton cloth at thirty cents per yard
ami calico at forty-five and fifty cents;
those were the good old times, when a
spinning-wheel and loom were as
necessary in the household as a fire
place, and the mother of a family was
a veritable slave.
Do you farmers want to go back to
the time when you could not get more
than twelve and a half to twenty
cents per bushel for your wheat, one
and a half to two cents per pound for
your beef, and nothing lor your mut
ton. Can you not afford to pay the tax
that the free-traders claim has been
put on mauuiactured articles by the
tariff, when you get 500 per cent, ad
vance over the highest price of the
good old times?"
Free trade means the leveling of all
labor to the level of the lowest labor.
The free-traders of England say, "to
give capital a fair remuneration, the
price of labor must be kept down."
Capital is king, land is held in rev
erence, property is sacred, machines
must be cured for, houses insured,
animals fed; it is only humanity that
falls so low that professors of economy
under free-trade, scarce give it a
thought, "and man becomes a drug,
and population a nuisance,'' according
to the London Time.
Wake up, farmers and workingmen,
your interest arc at stake on the one
side peace and prosperity; on the
other, pauperism and want. Free
trade gives you the latter protective
tariff, the former. Choose for your
selves, but do so with your eyes open.
