"Where,"' asks the New York Sun,
peaking of (Juiteau, "shall the line be
drawn between mental and moral In
sanity?" "Bight around the neck,
Fir; right around the neck," answers
one of its contemporaries.

It seems that Mr. Harrison is not
the only "Boy Preacher." One Mer

been on trial at Canton, III., before
the Methodist Conference.'on charges
of "swearing, druukenness, lying,
smoking and claiming to be a Repub.
liean when he was a Democrat."
A gentleman just returned from
Yorktown, who made careful political
observations while there, says: "My
t'alculation is after careful observa
tion, that there will 1)9 33,000 or more
white Readjuster votes and Cj.OiK) Re

that the Democratic vote should be
equal to thai of the last year (04,030,)

Levi Bobbins, the oldest ex-member
of the Assembly in New York,
died at Copenhagen, in that State,
last week, aged 101 years. Mr. Rob
bins was in the' Legislature in the
days when Do Witt Clinton was Gov
ernor of ilie fchntc and Obadish Gor
man was Speaker of the Assembly.
Among his associates were- Alexander
Hamilton, Richard Hatfield, J. R.
Van Renssler and Peter Sharpe. He
lived at a time when, according to his
own words, "the Assemblv sessions
were often disturbed by the drum of
the partridge in the forest just outside
the Capitol."
The Ohio man does not die with
dynasties or pass awayjwith Presidents.
He lives on. The last representative
of that Htato to become notorious went
into the Treasury Department at
Washington last week and presenting
f 17,000 in six-per-cent. . bonds deman
ded cod in return. A check he
wouldn't have; nothing but gold
would satisfy this Ohio man, who had
paid gold for his bonds. After he had
been accommodated, and had spent an
hour In counting his shiners and sweep
ing them into his grip-sack, he had
load weighing seventy-five pounds,
- and'was obliged to express the money
to his Berne in Youngstown at a cost
of f2 nor 81.000. For the first time in
a very long time an Ohio man had bit

Whj 5ot Withdraw Noble,
wmimnsport o. n.j
As nearly every Demoeratlo paper
in the State has virtually abandoned
Noble for the support, of Wolfe, the
question arises: Why not withdraw
Noble from the field altogether? ' The
question Is a grave one, and consider
ing all the surrounding circumstances,
and the evident determination of the
Democratic organs to worship at the
feet of Wolfe, it Is not strange that It
should receive serious consideration at
the hands of many leading Democrats.
Such a peculiar state of affairs is not
without its parallel. The nomination
of Horace Grovley for President was
not unlike it. He was the life-long
enemy of the party and had applied
every epithet, in the catalogue to its
chief fuglemen, hut in a moment of
supreme foolishness they fell down
before him and not only licked his feet
but humbly kissed the rod that had so
often smoted them on the raw. Now
they arc all worshiping Wolfe, shoot
ing loud hosannas to his praiso. fol
lowing him about as if he were a pro
phet, and had predicted that if the
Democracy did not support him the
party would be buried In irretrievable
ruin.
The Philadelphia Timet, after a
desperate struggle, has succeeded in
making itself the chief Wolfe organ In
the State, and every Democrat now
reads it with the same devotion that
he would his shorter catechism. The
little organs all chime in and shout
for him. The name of Xoble is not
mentioned. W. I.. Scott, of Erie, a
member of the state committeee, op
poses him with all the power he can
command. The Pittsburg Poet, the
only Deinocrtio daily in that region of
smoke and sulphur, boldly declares
"that it Is folly for the Democrats to
expect success with a nomination
that does not appeal to the old guard"
and denounces the impolicy of select
ing candidates "who have vague pre
tensions of friendly voters in the op
position ranks, but no record of ser
vice with their own party."
That foreshadows the fate of Xoble
went of the Alleghenics and shows the
evident inclination of the party to fol
low the salary-grnbblng-graveyard-iu-surance
candidate" from Lewhburg.
Under such condition it is not only
cruel, but absolutely dishonest, to
keep the Willianisport nominee in the
field to be deserted and slaughtered.
Must he be devoured by a Wolfe
without a friend to help him? Must
his appeal for support be mocked by
the party that nominated him? Is
there no balm in Gilead? Is there no
longer any honor in the Democratic
party? If there la Mr. Xoble will be
quietly withdrawn in order to give
the part j- an opportunity to support
tho man of its choice without incum
brance. The past has shown that
there Is nothing too absurd for the
Democratic party. It always stands
ready to commit what is forcibly
termed the "traditional blunder" and
make a superlative ass of it.self at the
critical moment. It is not strange,
therefore, that it should be found in
that position now. In chasing the
fabulous animal that suckled the
founders of Rome it but shows its
thirst for pap and its willingness to
crawl in the mire to hunt it.
Speaking of organs, how Bad it is to
find them all turning their backs on
the Nobleman of Erie and grinding
out "Sweet by and by" tunes for
Wolfe. It is true that be is ranting
about the state casting slurs on the
name of Colonel Xoyes, that noblest
Roman of them all, who sleeps peace
fully in his mountain grave; but such
coarse abuse of the dead only falls tike
dulcet notes on the Democratic ear,
and they shout louder as the scanda
lous charges arc repeated. Such is
one of the sublime inconsistencies of
the party. Ilcrc iu Willianisport the
local organ shouts loud and long for
Wolfe, turns the cold shoulder on
Noble, and has intimated on more
than one occasion that the former is
the man. This Is but a specimen of
Democratic orgauship throughout the
state.
Such being the fact, it is not strange,
perhaps, that the propriety of with
drawing him is now being quietly
discussed in the inner tabernacles of
the Democratic synagoges. He is re
garded as too good a man to beslaugh
tered by those who yet possess a ling
ering trace of political honor, and
they are anxious to save him from
ruin, it is evident that the content
will lie between Baily and Wolfe.
Then why not withdraw Noble and
give the two leading candidates a free
field afftl a fair race. It would behon
orable to do so.
Hamilton County's Tote.
Cincinnatti, October 21. The offi
cial count of the Hamilton-county
votes at the last election lias just been
concluded. It shows a total vote for
Foster, Republican, for Governor, of
28,011; Brook waiter, Democrat, 25,000;
Foster's majority, 3,551. The major
ities for the other Republican Slate
officers are aa follows: Richards,
Lieutenant Governor, 1,789: Lang
worth, Supreme Judge, 4,705; Nash,
Treasurer, 8,604; Paul, Board of Pub
lic works, 8,495. There Is no change
In. county officers as previously re
ported. Devereaux, the only Dem
ocrat elected on the Legislative ticket,
defeated Robert H.anlon, Republican,
by 832 votes. Ludlow, Temperance
candidate for Governor, received 487
votes.
The West Chester Republican
thinks that "the people who are not
satisfied should be. The -ople who
are should give their united support
to their chosen caudidate, General
Baily. Aud the Republican party
should elect him aud do itself credit,
redeem its pledges and subserve the
best interest of the government,
which Is of the people and for the
people.!'
Address of the Repnbllcan Stale Com
mittee. the ftrcpuiit.trANftoP pksnsyi.va.ni a
ASKtl) TO RALLY AROUND THE OLD
FLACL
To th Elcctort of Pennsylvania:
Ours Is "a government of the peo
ple, by the people, and for the people'
of the people, since all authority
springs from them; by the people,
since their will, when expressed
through established voluntary and
legal forms, should be respected aud
obeyed; for the people, in the fact
that whatever Is thus done should be
done for their welfare. Accepted
maxims arc these. They -were given
shape by the spirit of our customs and
laws and direct expression by a mar
tyred President at a time when they
had just been sanctified by tho best
blood of the nation.
There was an election last year, and
the result was confessed on all sides to
have been fairly readied. It showed
both an electoral and a popular ma
jority for a Republican President and
Vice President. The bullet of an as
sassin has robbed the people of their
Kersonal choice, and in his stead they
ave secured by constitutional and ac
ceptable methods his distinguished
colleague. Since that election events
have crowded thick and fast, but the
on-looking world saw a Republic, in
every material view, unshaken by
calamity; our own people saw
through the instrumentalities of the
laws and Constitution, a faithful re
flection of their will in the more im
mediate change incident to the death
of their President, and they had
almo.rt permitted their political vigi
lance to relax and take an indiffer
ently easy air, when it was aroused by
a partizan act on the part of the po
litical organization which did not
represent the people in the struggle
for govcrnmontil policy. For tlie
second time in our history "a prize
had been drawn in the lottery of as
sassination" by a common foe; and,
in both cases, that I'oc was quick iu
the search for cumulative profit. The
Democratic party did seek a partizan
profit from the murder of Lincoln,
and unwarned by that experience, In,
its greed fur power, repealed the at
tempt but a week aso. Andrew
Johnson's betrayal of the Idea that the
legal expression of the will of the
people must be respected was com
pensated alter a struggle of-many
months, the recent betrayal of a pub
lic trust by the Democratic Senators
was, so far as we can now judge, par
tially met within two days. A bud
purpose has been defeated, and while
the will of the people has not been
fully guarded or their policy guaran
teed, the Republicans of the Senate
have at least removed a glaring temp
tation to further assassination, and for
a time checked the greed of ever
watchful enemies.
UEMoC'KATJC ROfRnONISM.
The saddest of ull deaths, the legal
succession, the theft of the second
place in the gift of the people, and its
partial restoration have transpired
with confusing speed; yet not so fast
but that the reflecting man could give
some little thought to the fact that if
this government of ours is to be pre
served "as of the people, by the people,
and for the people,'' there must be
neither direct nor indirect overtures to
a partizan foe which Inn never yet
bowed to the doctrine which was the
friend of slavery, in a great section
the author of rebellion, in yet other
sections its aider and abettor and in
all times subsequent to our greatest
civil crisis the persistent foe of every
advance toward a more perfect free
dom. With its inherent belief in
slavery, it opposed emancipation, civil
rights, equal sulfrage, the planting of
the school-house in the places where it
was most needed; and instead of fa
voring aud fostering those who suf
fered for tiieir country, it has, by
every insidious agency, sought to re
ward those who betrayed it. This is
not true of all Democrats, but it is
true of the leaders, into whose hands
power will be thrust by failure to hold
Republican strongholds. They have
a machinery which is cohesive in its
power, which permits no freedom of
opinion, which never divides, and
which grinds on until its own force
breaks it. The power of selection
still rests with the Republicans of
Pennsylvania. Ohio has risen from
her Brief to confirm her selection by
majorities relatively greater than iu
Presidential years. Iowa makes a
most Intelligent choice with unani
mity. The Virginians, strufling to
rid 'themselves of a form of Bourbon
rule which is the same wherever it
obtains, were until recently, divided
as to policies; but in the rush of events
have inrown away every idea ot tac
tion, and are now ready to place them
selves in the column of progress. The
Republicans of New York, in natural
solicitude for a distinguished citizen
called to the point of danger, have
buried from sight every dividing issue,
and now present an example of har
mony which has been wisely imitated
in nearly all other States, There is a
needed unity of watchfulness, to the
end that the present, and at least tho
near future of our country mav be
guarded from possible calamity. Shall
we, as Pcnnsylvanians, be less dutiful?
When, in the past, sacrifices were
called for have we ever, in either
hatred, sullenness or despair, stood
oil"? A claim to patriotism but mocks
the term when It will not sacrifice
convenience, comfort, even happiness
and life, tor t he country's weal, A
profession of fealty to admittedly just
political principles is but a sham aud
a pretense when it will not sacrifice
something to unity and when it will
not blend a personal purpose into the
one winch moves lor me common
irood. When public dancers quick
succeed each other, when but a sinale
life stands between approved govern
ment and a revolution in policies.
there ought to be no room for mere
personalities, none for the detraction
of friends, none for the creation of
faction, and there ought to be univer
sal I'pprubatioii ol counsels wnicu are
opeulv contesseil to be in tne interest
of the enemy. Good soldiers do not
stop to dress mere bruises when the
battle is on, nor do they march out of
the line by either Hank at tne beck of
tne toe.
STAND BY THE PKKSIDF.NT.
To admit that any considerable num.
her of Pcnnsylvanians will be less so
licitous of the national good than those
of our neighboring States is to belie
our past history. The administration
of President Arthur from its very be
ginning needs at the least the support
of all Republican States, aud of none
more than that which has proved the
Keystone to Republicanism, as she has
to the Union. That support can only
be extended through ballots cast for
Gen. Baily, the standard bearer of the
party a gallant soldier, wounded
while heading his troops, ascending
through high personal merit from the
bars of a Captain to the stars of a Gen
eral now a modest, quiet citizen
not a politician, not an officeholder
one who earns his bread by the sweat
of Ills brow, yet far too good to oppose,
and of all men the last to be selected
as the victim of spites against others.
There was at least fairness in the hiss-
iugand explosion of the shell which
struck Mm at Gaines' Mill; there is
neitner generosity nor manliness In
the attempt to crush him with missies
paofessedly aimed at others.
Our National administration Is Re
publican in Its make-up and character;
we know it as such; the world knows
It as such. It can. therefore, only find
support in Republican majorities We
nave no ouier method ot support; the
world abroad recognizes no other, and
no persuasion of secret enemies, of
demagogues, or any apparent apathy
of the open foe should be permitted to
lure us from the one direct oblect
support of the National Government
ami tne administration thereof. This
withheld and chagrin and disaster
will quickly succeed each other. The
man who can be persuaded to lose one
battle In the hope, that he can more
easily win the next does not live to
sec now false is bis philosophy.
WHAT T1IK PARTY REPRESENTS.
The Republican nartv represents Is
sues and purposes which aro worthy
the effort of all who believe in the
principles which have made our Gov
ernment whatit is "of the people, by
tne people and for tho people." ft
represents ideas of administration spe
cially dear to all. President Arthur
has vowed that
All the noble asnlrations of mv la
mented predecessor which found ex
pression In his life, the measures de
vised and suggested during his brief
administration to correct abuses and
en force economy, to advance prosperity
and promote the general welfare, to
insure domestic security, and maintain
friendly and honorable relations with
the nations of the earth, will be gar
nered in the hearts of the people, and
it wiil be mv earnest endeavor to profit
and to see that the nation shall profit
by his example and experience."
His faithful adherence to this decla
ration calls for direct encouragement
from Pennsylvania. Support' of the
Republican cause and ticket will do it:
support of any other means Its con
demnation. The Administration. Its
friends and enemies, and all Intelli
gent ou-liokers will say so, and none
will more quickly gloat over such a
calamity than the journals and politi
cians who are now counseling divis
ion. The Republican nnrtv is liberal
enough for all. I ts halioir.il deeds and
declarations are not forgotten; its latest
enunciation in the State points une
quivocally to a reform in a plank
which received the warm support of
Ml representatives In State convention
assembled; while that of the Demo
cratic party plnvs with dangerous
recklessness on the edges of Commun
ism. Must these declarations iu rep
resentative conventions be held less
potent than those of tho self seeking,
irresponsible, and the noisy on the
rostrum? Only barbarous tribes wildly
follow their howling dervishes.
THINGS TO nts rem F.rrn EKED.
The statesmen of the century have
been members of the Republican party.
It has counted in its ranks names
which have become immortal, aud are
so confessed of ail the earth Lincoln,
Seward, Chase, Sumner, Garfield!
names which aro nurtured in our par
ty's traditions even more tenderly
than in historic paxes. It is the party
of reform, for it is progressive and
never looks backward; It. is the party
of liberty, and constantly seeks a
more perfect freedom. True, some
have wearied of its good work; some
have straggled in the march of pro
gress; others have regarded their
bruises more than the goal beyond;
some have even fallen by the wayside;
but t he earnest aud the active still
march on and gather as they move.
You can on the 8th of Nov. next so
shape your ballots, citizens of l'enn.
sylvania that they will plove tho voice
of order, promoter of stable govern
ment in the State and the Nation. If
they are cist as tho mere waifs of pas
sion, the double edged instruments of
faction, the world 'may be justified in
forming a diifeivnt opinion of our
pople for their character will at least
seem to have changed from the sturdy
ami steadfast to that which is weak
and vacilating. Let us remember,
Pcnnsylvanians. tint there is no f.rm
of mental slavery more humiliating to
its victim than that which yields it
self captive to every sensation.

TION. Huntingdon, October 22. A very
full meeting of the Republican County
Committee was Iieid here to-day. The
members were called upon to report
the condition of the parly in their
respective districts and whether a uni
ted support will be given to the State
and county tickets. The report were
all highly favorable, the disposition,
if any, being very slight, and likely to
disappear before the election. It was
the undivided sentiment of tho Com
mittee that it is only necessary to get
out the full vote in order to insure the
usual Republican majority. The busi
ness of the Committee was transacted
with gratifying unanimity and har
mony. Milton S. Lytic, Esq., offered
the following resolutions and moved
their adoption :
Resolved, That to avoid the neces

mittee, we now elect delegates to the
next Republican State Convention.
That Simson Wright be t lie Senator
ial delegate, and Samuel A. Steel and
Georgo G. Hutchinson the Repres
entative delegates.
That this committee would view
with very great favor the nomination
of Hon. Way ne MacVeagli aa the Re
publican caudidate for governor, be
lieving thut his conspicious abilities,
unquestionable patriotism and integ
rity, jndependent motives and conduct,
and his close and intimate relations
with the lamented Garfield, have en
deared him to the people aud will make
his election certain.
That the time for holding the next
Couuty Convention be left to the dis
cretion of tho Chairman of this Com
mittee Mr.. H. C. Beck offered as an
amendment to the second resolution,
that Milton S. Lytle bo Senatorial
alternate, and 8.1 P. Giles and Henry
Holtzapple, Representative alternates.
The amendment was accepted by Mr.
Lytic, and the resolutions, being sec

Repnbllcan riatrorm.
Jtceolved, That the Republican
party of Pennsylvania is in the most
hearty accord with the Administra
tion of President Oarfleld, and, while
uniting in the prayers of all pood
people for hisr-peedy recovery, pledges
continued fealty and tho must active
suppport in the prompt and courag
eous correction of nil governmental
abuses. As Republicans we are in
favor of any proper and well-considered
reform, either in the government
of the Nation, the Htatc, municipality
or county, and we court suggestions
to any or all of these ends, and only
ask that in their advocacy wcll-cstat
lished safeguards shall not bo handily
supplanted by experiments. The Ad
ministration of President Garfield has
set the right example in this direction,
and while firmly adhering to the prin
ciples and better practices of the great
party which called It into existence,
it yet. insists upon faithfulness and
honesty in every branch of the public
service. That the bullet of an assassin
should not interrupt this work. It
should be pursued while its author
lives, and beyond his life, if through
Increasing misfortune it should be
taken awav.
Resolved, That the Republican
party lias ever hoen progressive and
reformatory, and while realizing that
nothing in government is wholly
right we desire to be always orave
enough to seek every avenue of ap
proach to the right to the end that all
our ucoplo may enjoy the ever increas
ing blessings ot good government.
Renolvcd, That President James A.
Garfield, this tender and loving, t hi
struggling and fullering, this pure ami
oraveman, now neeonies tne oeinvpl
of this people and the admired of all
. A... . .1 . . i
Iijm.'. e leuuer lur uureivew mid
our constituents assurances of iteep
and heartfelt sympathy, and, keenly
appreciating the-value of such a life to
his country, we express the prayerful
hope that he may soon be restored to
the discharge of tho important duties
for which he Is remnrkablv qualified
and from which by a peculiarly infa.
mous crime and an undeserved assault
for a conscientious exercise of proper
executive power, he has been tempo
rarily withdrawn.
RKKolrcd, That in 8tate as in Na
tion, the Republican party is com
mitted to the course of economical
and honest administration; we de
mand the use of all necessary menus'
and the enforcement of all laws in
tended to prevent fraud and wast,
and we require a close and watchful
guardianship over all of the multifa
rious interests committed to the care
of ou r orga n I zat ion .
Resolved, That in any revision of
our tariff legislation which may Imj
made care shall be taken to discrimi
nate iu favor of our industries, ami
thereby promote the causes which are
rapidly making America a controling
powcr'in finances, as it already is nil
established leader in political thought.
Rctolvrd, That the administration
cf Governor Hoyt merits our warmest
approval. We regard with satisfac
tion the results of a purely Republi
can Administration under Ids leader
ship, in which all departments have
been faithfully conducted, the credit
of the State raised to the highest
point, and its finances placed upon n,
proper basis without increasing tho
burdens of the people.
