Unerringly the Index flnger of pub lie sentiment, as shown by the elec- tions held in tho states of Ohio and Indiana, poiuts to the election of James A. Garfield as the next Presi dent of the United States. Broken and scattered the forces of the enemy are flying In every direction, while the victorious hosts of tho Republi cans, Hushed witli victory are pursu ing them still further into the land of sorrowand dispair. Theleaders of their forces are discouraged, and their fol lowers gone. The sober second thought, the awukening common sense, the sturdy patriotism of the people are the elements that are in creasing the high tide of Republican success. The great public heart al ways beats right, no matter what the politicians may do. The people be lieve in a free country under the glori ous stars and stripes Alarmed at the symptom of danger which seems to threaten the welfare of our common country, the people witli sturdy might place their strength with the party that upholds the flag as against tho party that may seem to waver in the faith. Tho solid south cry of the Democratic party rings like a death knell in the ears of tho aroused yeo iuandry of this broad land, as with united effort they repudiate the idea and determine to oppose with a solid North this unhallowed wrong of a solid South. The principles of Lee and Jackson are not considered the safe ones, as a gigantic war lias dem onstrated they were wrong, and as a consequence a verdict sealed by the silent ballot, more potent than the leaden bull, is recorded with no un certain meaning against these princi ples and against the men who uphold them. November election day will come and once again the men of the North, shoulder to shoulder, as they once stood before the battle lines of the rebel hosts, will with a common pur pose set the seal of condemnation on the farce and heresy of a solid South. By these elections and by the election held in the opening of tho month November, the rights of white and black, North and South is guaranteed above the remotest suspicion of doubt. In the sentiment then, if not the exact words of the illustrious Zachari.th Chandler the mission of the Kcpubli- can party is not ended until any man black or white throughout this broad land can go to the farthest point of the sunny South or to the remotest place of the frigid North, and make the blackest kind of Re publican spe ccbes when and where lie pleases. Then, steady, along the whole line, tho fight of the Republican party is the. fight for the rights of the people and will succeed. In thecrown Ing of the victors, after the luttle, is forgotten the grime aud smoke that made the crowning possible. Steady then, men, cast your ballot for Gar field and Arthur. They will be elected.

Next Tuesday the people of the 20th Congressional District of which Elk county forms a part will be called upon to elect a representative in Con gress. Two men are running for this important position, the man whose name heads this article bring one of them, and to him we wish now to call the attention of our readers. Who is ho and from whence comes he? What are his claims on the people? Why do tho Democrats place him in nomination for this high office? What are his qualifications? Other questions could be asked, but the answer to the ones we have propounded will suffice to convince all well meaning men that Audrew Gregg Curtin is the very last man in this Congressional District for whom they should vote. 117(0 is he and from whence come hef lie is the sad wreck on the shores of political events of a man, who once stood up among men, proud as the mighty oak in yon forest whose head soars to the sky and whose mighty branches, aflbrd protection to the fowls of the air aud the beasts of the field, while defying the mighty tem pest of almost countless yenrs. The Great War Governor of the mighty commonwealth of Pennsylvania, en joying the confidence of a majority of her citizens, and held up as a shining light in the camp of the Republicans An orator on whose word thousands held breath, as he portrayed in colors of rhetorical fancy the faults of the Democratic party, and pointed with steady hand to the way of the Republicans as the right way to Na- tionul peace and prosperity. Not only did this slate sound with his great fame but other states, yea, the whole Nation, sounded and resounded his praises until other nations caught the sound and other countries heard of this great man. Honored by the Republi can party as few men have been honored, he was still stepping up to receive higher honors. As Minister to Russia, as named for the office of Vice President, he increased and grew in honor and fame, until men wondered at his great height, but as the height he climbed was great so is his fall de plorable. What are his claims on the oJJU.e? Just this, that he once ran against a man whom he considered his inferior, and was badly beaten. .Smarting un der the sting of an injured pride, he contested the seat in Congress of the man who defeated him, and a con gressional committee decided that his case was not a good one and that the other man was fairly elected. After his first defeat, knowing his opponent, Seth H. Yoctini, to be comparatively a poor man, lie relied on his wealth to crush out this poor man in a long con test, thinking in hi3 evil heart that his opponent would abandon the light for lack of funds. The will of the people, as expressed at the ballot box, Mr. Curtin regarded not, his own self ish end being (he only thing that gave his heart cause for joy. I will crush out this man who has dared to oppose me, even though the people have re corded their verdict in his favor. He is a poor man and I nm rich. I will crush him; I will make him succumb. The long contest is a matter ol his tory. Mr Yocum's friends Hocked to his resCuc, mid upheld his hands against the onslaught of this once great, but now fallen and desperate man, MrYocum succeeded and the result sickened Mr. Curtin to his heart's core Visions of former great ness mixed in his dreams of present ruined hopes. But, thought Andrew Gregg, 1 will yo before the Democratic convention and ask for a vindication For 1 have been injured, my feelings have been outraged. I have been beaten by a man who once received a commission from me as a Lieutenant in a company of volunteers while I was tho Great War Governor. Other thoughts he thought and other words he spoke, but for two years his dream was of vindication. Why did the Democrats place Mm oram in nomination Jor thin layli office Not because they love him, for once he cursed the name Democrat as piously as ever did Horace Greeley or Thad. Stevens. Not because they were short of candidates. Not because the party was honored by his pres ence. Not for any of these reasons, but simply and solely because they had a certain pity in their hearts for this poor old man, who came crying at their back door to be elected and was defeated. And now came he cry ing like a big whipped school boy and with fists doubled up in his eyes, and quivering lip asked for a "vindica tion" for being licked out of Ids boots, in a square-toed fight. Out of pity then lie was nominated, and now piteously he asks for a seat in congress which the people once rebuked him for asking. Great was the greatness and sublime the heights he once held, but, alas! that greatness has departed, and the once bright intellect is now shadowed with a fancied wrong, while the man wallows in tlie lowest of low ground, nis degradation all the more couspicu ous by reason of the comparison Pith d by. his friends, scoiuid by Lis enemies, while lie stands almost at the close of man s allotted span, with nervous grasps he reaches out for a seat in Congress, asks and begs for it from a party who in his towering strength he despised and hated. Once a man now a whining, chronic, ofilce seeker. Every man should fathom the shallow conduct or Andrew G. Curtin ana vote against him. teach this po litical tramn bv the nower of thesilent ballot that he cannot insult the intel ligence of the people of this district by whining when fairly defeated, and by seeking with the aid of his monev to crush out a poor man whom the peo ple fairly elected, Volo against this political vagrant. Let the November snow of public sentiment cover him as deeply with an adverse majority as he lias been covered with disgrace by his Infamous conduct. Drop the cur tain on his political aspirations for ever ou4 ever. The Judicial Question, The question of who shall be elected Judge of this Judicial district is a question of business rather than poli tics. The practical question for every voter to consider is, which of the two candidates for Judge, Hon. Wm. D. Brown, or Hon. Rassclas Brown, will conduct the business of our courts to the best Interests of the suitor, the tax-payer and the general public? It may be taken for granted that the charactor, ability, and legal attain ments of these two gentlemen are equal. Certainly no one will claim that Wm. D. Brown in any of these respects is less qualified than his op ponent, but there are strong reasons why lie should be elected at the age of fifty-seven. Hon. Wm. D. Brown is Just in the prime of a ripened intellect, with a strung body, a vigorous mind and a good voice he can perform tho duties of Judge to the satisfac tion of the entire public. Should Hon. Rasselas Brown be elected he will enter upon the duties of his olllce at the age of nearly seventy, aud close his term of otfiee at nearly the advanced age of eighty years. It Is a serious question whether the Judgeship should be entrusted to so old a gentleman. If at any time he should become unfit to perform the duties of ths office he cannot easily be got rid of. Let each voter remember that "an ounce of prevention Is worth a pound of cure'' and vote for Hon. Win. D. Brown without, regard to politics. Figures that do not Lie. In the election of 1874 tho vote of Elk county for Lieutenant Governor was for Latta, Dem. 1127; O! instead, Rep. 474 or a total vote of 1501. In the same year the regular candidates for Sheriff and the votes which they received were as follows : P. W. Hays, Dem. S1'2; II. II. Wensel, Rep. 253 or a total vote of 580. The reason for this falling off is not denied by any body; the ring came forwarel mid openly run and elected Mr. Scull as an independent Democrat. The Demo cratic vote of ISt. Marys and Beiizin ger being as follows : St. Marys, Hays 21; Scull '2-W. Benzingcr, Hays 7; Sculi '27Z. In Jay township Mr. S;ull received 30 votes and in all the ba! ance of the county he got but 23 votes. There never was any reason for mak ing a bitter right lor ins elc-elion; all his interests, social, and financial were in Philadelphia, and he was only temporarily a resident of this county The only redeeming feature of his election was the fact that his adminis tration of the affairs of his ollice was is unsatisfactory to his friends as it was to his opponents. But the run ning of Scull by the Ring had a marked influence on the vote for As sembly. Mr. Wimincr was the regu lar Democratic candidate and on a strict party vote he should have re ceived a majority of eMi.3 votes. As it was his majority was cut down to 224 and it was only through the extraordinary exertions of himself aud a few friends that lie was saved from defeat. This result was not caused by any unpopu larity because Mr. Wimincr was at that time and is to day one of the strongest men the Democrats could nominate. His narrow escape from defeat cau be wholly attributed to the ring. In 1ST" the regular nominees for Sheriff were John it. Kime, Dem. and 1). C. Oyster, Rep. and the total vote for Sheriff was 1020. On a strict party vote Mr. Kime shou'el have been elected by a majority of 070 votes; as it was he received 522 votes while Mr. Oyster got 580 and the ollice. At this election T. J. Burke, George Everitt and James Rogun ran as inde pendent candidates, the total vote for Burke being 834. It is denied that the Ring supported Burke, and this denial is true so far as the individual vote of the Ridgway branch of the Ring is concerned, he cast his vote for Mr. Kime, but the result of the elec tion does not show that he worked for him unless it be conceded that his ad vocacy of a candidate has a tendency to drive votes away. But, grunting their pretentions in regard to Ridg way, what was the course of the St. Marys wing? If they also supported Kime it is a curious coincidence that wherever their influence was greatest the vote for Kime fell olf the most. In Sr. Marys and Bcnzinger together Kime received 144 voles when he should have received over 500. Aud it lias been asserted that they induced Everitt to run for the express purpose of defeating both the regular candi dates and electing Burke. Not only diet the ring thus oppose the election of Kime but two reliable witnessessay they saw J. L. Brown the present King candidate throw the ticket ou the lioor saying, "there is the Demo cratic ticket if anyone wants to vote it, I shall vote for Oyster." With this re-cord staring them in the face it is almost impossible to be lieve they could have the brazen effrontery to ask anybody to sustain the ticket which they succeeded in putting in the field by various tricks and devices best known to themselves, but pretty well known to others, and which they now call the regular ticket and which they flaunt in our faces with the battle cry of "Who the devil cares for tho wishes of the people?" For a great many years the Ring has disregarded the wishes of the people: they have "run" the county long enough in their own private interest; it is high time that at least a part of their extravagant as pirations should be subdued, and it is confidently believed that a sufficient number of votes will be found out side of their vest pockets to roll up a rousing vote for Earley and Taylor. Vote for Thts. II. Murray for Congress, A Wise Beacon. "Deacon Wilder, I want you to tell me how you kept yourself and family well the past season when all the rest oi us have been sick so much, and have had the doctors visiting us so often." "Bro. Taylor, the answer is very easy. I used Hop Bitters in tme; kept my family well and saved the doctor bills. Three dollars' worth of It kept us able to work all the time. I'll war rant it has cost you and the neighbors one to two hundred dollars apiece to keep Blck the same time." "Deacon, I'll use your medicine hereafter."
