Respectfully yours,

Charge Along the Whole Line.
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.

Andrew 0. Curt in.
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

"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

"Deacon, I'll use your medicine

Weakness,! n voluntary Seminal Losses

or sexual extravagance, Scc.
The celebrated author, in this ad
mirable Essay, clearly demonstrates
from a thirty years' successful practice
that the alarming couseciuences of
sell-abuse may be radically cured
without the dangerous use of internal
medicine or the application of the
knife; pointing out a mode of cure at
once simple, certain, effectual, by
means of which every sufferer, no
matter what his condition may be
may cure himself cheaply, privately,
and radically.
