It was proven at the Monroe County Fair
that N. Ruster had the best made and finest

the first premium on Clothing for 13 years.
An attempt was made, a few nights ago,
to burglarize Mr. Stephen Kistler's hide
house, at East Stroudsburg. The thieves,
however, were routed before they had secur
ed any plunder. It is a pity they could not
have been arrested and thus assured an edu
cational term at Cherry Hill Institute, at
Philadelphia.
Considerable rain has fallen in this section
recently, which has had the elTect of reviving
and tilling our suffering wells and streams. If
it had come a little earlier it would not have
damaged our fruit and corn crops, but we nev
er grumble at the ways of Providence, and are
inclined to fed thankful that the rain has come
even when it did. We have now plenty of wa
ter for all practical purposes.
A survey is now being made preparatory to
the publication of a correct Atlas of Monroe
Comity. It is to be complete in every par
ticular. A correct Atlas of this County
cannot but prove of great value to every pro
perty holder and other residents, and the
enterprising projectors of the Atlas should
Ik? encouraged by a host of subscribers. The
cost o!' the finished Atlas will be but the
trifling sum cf $12.
After 42 ballots the Democratic Judicial
Conference of the 22d Judicial District stood
precisely as it began, three for the scalawag
P'mniivk anJ three for Van Auken. It is
jjuid now that Gen. Burnett will be the com
promise candidate, though the Wayne Co.,
J '-raid as a finality hoists the name of Fred

of the Democracy of Wayne for the Presi

Messrs. Wagner. & Rhodes have just
about completed some important improve

wall, so as to secure customers more light in
the examination of goods are among the re

Ol'K Wiikcs-Barre correspondent graphi
cally describes the first four days action of
the Democratic Congressional Conference for
this district assembled! at that place. His
question as to why our Democracy had to go
to foreign territory for the transaction of its
business is pertinent and well put. What a
pity we did not think of it in time, and pre
sent the claims of our candidate for Congress
before that august body. We are satisfied
that if we had presented Amandus 0 rev us
for consideration, he would have carried the
convention high and dry, and the election
too.
Friend Amaxdus Oukvits has a great deal to
pay of late about carpet baggoru and their co
horts. Indeed, is he not a genuine carpet bag
ger himself? Didn't he pack his dry goods in
a little carpet-bag and visit a foreign country
about the time his services were needed in the
land of his birth? We guess yes. As to our
being under obligations to him for the position
of Chief Burgess, we would like to know when
he arose to such wonderful distinction as to be
the great ' Mogul" for distributing offices that
are li lied by the voice of the people? Alas!
poor Amaxdcs Okevus, your muddled brain
must be wandering like that of your Ktarn -h
democratic friend who has been voting for An
drew Jackson for the past twenty-five years.

The Young Men's Ciikistian Associa
tion of Stroudsburg formally opened their

Friday evening last. Every thing passed off
smoothly and pleasantly. If iu the course
of its legitimate work the Association suc
ceeds in subdueing to something like decen

out of the churches its organization will not
have been affected in vain it will, indeed,
have performed wonders.
Mr. F. B. Pve, who recently bought the

the necessary arrangements to have them
stocked with trout, which will be quite a
novelty in that section.
Mr. P. is represented as a gentleman of

Mr. Senocil Dear Sir: In the last
number of the Monroe Democrat I read that
Henry Stoddart, of Stoddartsville died at
his residence on the 2Gth ult., and that he
was the founder of Stoddartsville. There
is no truth in either of the above. Henry
Stoddart, stopped to get a drink up at the
shades, and while getting a drink his horses
ran away, and he started after them on a
run. One of the Sox boys caught the hor
ses aud started back with them and came in
sight of Mr. Stoddart when he saw him fall,
aud on arriving to where he lay found he was
dead, having died with heart disease and
over excitement, it was supposed.
The founder of Stoddartsville was John
Stoddart, an uncle of Henry. Leonard Stod
dart, the father of Henry, afterwards moved
to Stoddartsville and kept the Hotel until
his death, when his widow and Henry kept
it for some time, and after her death Henry
still kept it until his death, a period of about
30 years. The Hon. John Merwine and
Henry Stoddart were the only landlords on
the Wilkes-Barre Turnpike, who were -keeping
hotels on that Pike from 30 to 40 years
ago, and now Judge Merwine is the only one
left keeping hotel.

Right.

On Saturday last a match was played or.
the Fair (I round between the Mutuals of
Portland and the Tom Collins nine. The
Tom Coliins boys were minus two of their
best batsmen and fielders, one of whom was
the catcher, and as their change catcher
was still suffering from injuries received in
the Oakland match, they were in a very
crippled condition, they played a very close
game with their opponents till the last
inning when they went to the field beaten,
and becoming careless and happy apparently
they gave the Mutuals 12 runs. The fol
lowing is the score :

CorresponJeiLce of the Jefftrsnnimu
Wilkes-Uaure, Pa. Oct. 12, 1874.
Fkikxd Jkff. On Wednesday the Tlh
inst. the Conferees of the 1 Ith Congressional
district assembled in this Capitol of the 12th
District for the purpose of making a nomin
tion of such a candidate for Congress as
would meet the requirements of the untcrri
fied Democracy. One would have supposed
that the 11th district was large enough, and
crooked enough, and had biding places c
nough within its borders in which to do all
the cahogling and dirty work that was neces
sary to meet the great need of the party.
Put it appears not, and lamentable, indeed
is it to all of us here, that this grand center
of political purity had to be afflicted with the
presence of the Conference, and to run the
risk of having its political morals corrupted
by such acts and deeds as arc ouby to be found
in a body of Democrats to dole out a mess of
political pottage to the hungry aspirants.
As I said before the Conference met on
Wednesday last, and yet Monday finds it
witiiout having completed its labors, labors
which, but for personal ambition could have
been settled as satifactorily within half an
hour after meeting, as after days spent in
the work. Put circumlocution appeared to
betha order of the day and "how not to do it"
the burden of all the efforts of the Conferees.
Put the fact is, the delegates and the confer
ence are quartered at the Wyoming Valley
House, and as the beds and rooms of that
house are all first class, and the feed in quan
tity and quality such as is not often met, aud
as the Conference looked as though a season
of good living would uot be productive of
much harm, aud as somebody else has to foot
the bill, I do not know that they are much to
blame for adjourning from morn until after
noon, and from afternoon till night and from
night till morning, and so on ad libit inn f not
ad uauseum. By this course three square
meals per day and a good nights lodging
were secured from day to day, eveu if no
other result flowed from their labors. My
word fur it, your Conferees will be found to
have improved amazingly in corpus, on their
return home. And so will all the rest except
possibly Dob Packer of Carbon, who looks as
though he fed luxuriously all the time.
The Conferees assembled, at 3 o'clock, p.
m. on Wednesday, and proceeded to organ
ize. This was temporally done by the elec
tion of Thomas J. llidgway, of Pike, chair
man, and Frank A. Beamish, of Luzerne,
and Robert A. Packer, of Carbon, Secreta
ries, who, after the credentials of Conferees
were presented, wcro md -J permanent offi
cers of the Conference. The Conferees from
-our County were James Place, Judge Ciru
vcr and Rolt. W. Swink, Swank or Suounk.
I cannot tell which, as our papers here spell
it all three ways. About this this time trou
ble began to brew over something which did
not suit the Columbia delegation. They
however maintained presence in the Confer
ence uutil the presentation of candidates was
about through with, when they withdrew in
a huff. The status of the Cotifi ives may be
judged somewhat jrom a little incident which
occurred just previous to the presentation of
the names of candidates for nomination. V ie
tor E. Poilette, of Bradford county, known
to many of your readers from his connection
with the building cf the Matmnka Chunk
tunnel, was stepping around biiskly acting as
"Big Injun" on the occasion, and had as his
shadows R. S. Staples Charley Palmer and
one Ed. L. Wolf, all I believe Ijbby repre
sentatives of Monroe. Carbon was particu
larly sensitive as to outside influence, though
she had the formidable presence of Judge
Huston and several others to "see fair play"
all around. Her delegates evidently knew
there was money around, or else wanted to
cover up their oyn tracks in that direction
for just at this point in the proceeding Bob
Packer offered a resolution that if any can
didate bribed or attempted to bribe a dele
gate he should forfeit a nomination or his
name should be dropped from the roll of can
didates, and if any Conferee bribed or at
tempted to bribe a brother conferee he
should be expelled from the Conference.
Now this, I submit was ungenerous in view
of the fact that the " big Injun" once had
trouble on the score of bribing during his le
gislative career, and Bob's brother Secretary,
was still suffering from the sting of a little
" onpleasantness" growing out of a steamer
purchase for Scranton. It was unjust, too,
because every body present thought the of
fering of the resolution was an unwarranted
interference with a Democratic usage coeval
with the party itself. The resolution, for
show sake was adopted unanimously. This
move got along with, the presentation of the
names of candidates was proceeded with and
concluded, resulting in bringing up for the
action of the Conference tlm names of Charl
ton Burnett of Monroe, Robert Klotz, of
Carbon, E. P. Rhodesof Montour, Ceorge 11.
Rowland of Pike, Frank Collins of Luzerne,
and C. II. Brockaway, cf Columbia.
On Thursday morning the first balloting
began. At first it was three all around, with
the exception of Brockaway, whose delegates
having withdrawn his hame followed suit.
Then the Conferees began playing foxy
tickling first one of the candidates and then
another until nearly all of them in some age
of the voting had come within one vote of
the nomination. I have noticed that this,
as well as bribery, is numbered as among the
usages of Democracy, but the sense of it was
never apparent to my understanding. It
looks vastly more like childsplay than any
thing else, unless it be put in the shape of
an assurance that the Conferees were in the
market and at the command of the highest
bidder. I think, from observation and in
quiry that Mr. Burnett, of your County, was
the favorite from the start, but his prospects
were considerably clouded by the assurance
of some of his not over wise friends, that he
did not desire the position because there was
a better one open for him in the Wayne
President Judship. This wa.i bruited in
the hearing of the deleg ites, with a gusto
which smacked more of mischief than any
thing else. I am satisfied that this injured
Mr. Burnett to the extent of preventing his
nomination on Thursday, which was almost
certain. It certainly was not a wedge for
his advantage to be cried about as the com
promise candidate between Vanutiken and
Dimmick. And at this writing it would
seem that if he does not get to be Congress
man he will hardly succeed in getting any
thing else for the present, for I see by the
Wayne County Herald, just at hand, that
Dimmiek's friends and compatriots in that
County have become disgusted with the tri
fling conduct of the Judicial -Convention
which has already had over five hundred bal
lots without coming to a cor.c'us'on and
have made up their uiinds to support the
Hon. F. 31. Crane, a cultured gentleman
and jurist, for the Judgsl.ip. .
the Columbia delegation got
over its pet and returned to the Convention
with their candidate C. II. Brockaway, but
this did not alter things, lor ttie voting em

Address of the Ptepublican State Com
mittee.
TO THE Ri:?UI5LlCANS OF PENNSYLVANIA.
You arc called upon, once more, to matcc
a stand in defense. of hour irinciples. The
j x
party which, bv its political heresies,
plunged this country into a bloody war,
stands arrayed against you on precisely the
grounds - which it occupied in lfcuO, ana
proposes to re-bpou all the controversies
which it was thought had been settled by
the war, and it therefore becomes necessary
to sustain at the polls the governmental
policy which has prevailed under a Repub
lican administration.
"Ah undefiled aud .restored- ConstitUr
tion," which is equivalent to the Southern
demand for the Constitution as it was," is
what the Democracy of Pennsylvania asks
for iu the recently issued address of the
rotate Committee. It wants to ignore or
rule out the thirteenth, fourteenth, and
fifteenth amendments to the Constitution.
and restore the Constitution as it stood be
fore the war. It sets up a pretence that
those amendments arc null and void, and
if it should return to power we ma- natu
rally look for au attempt to enforce a re
lapse to the condition, of things that exis
ted prior to the Rebellion
The recent armed uprisings in the South,
accompanied . by numerous murders, out
rages innumerable, open rebellion, and the
establishment of a reign of terror to inti
midate the unarmed and peaceful citizens.
had the full sanction and spmpathy of the
Northern Democracy, and were plainly but
part of a general plan to re-established the
old order of things.
The part of the Northern Democracy is
to lull the people into a false security, ano
steal back into place upon false pretences.
if possible. The part of the fcouthern
Democracy is to set up a reign of violence,
and by such an intimidation of the weak
as will keep them from the polls, to instal
themselves into offices to which they could
never otherwise attain. The two work to
gether in perfect harmony, and their joint
triumph would utterly annihilate all the
beneficial results cf the Tv.;r.
It is the part of the Republicans of
Pennsylvania to crush this Conspiracy by
thoroughly defeating those engaged in it,
and they can do this only by rallying hear
tily to the support of their State ticket,
and by cordially supporting their local
nominations, so as to secure the election of
a large majority of the Congressmen and a
decisive majority iu the Legislature.
The people of Pennsylvania do not want
to return to i;a restored Constitution,''
or -'the Contitutioa as it was." They do
not want to come back again under the
insolent rule of the Southern oligarchy, or
to put tluir varied and grand industrial
interests at the mercy of the free trade
demagogues who control the Democratic
jarfy.
But, strong as are their convictions up
on this subject, they can enforce them only
iu one way, and that is at the polls. They
must elect men iu harmony with their well
known views and interests ; and this can
be done only by securing a thorough de
feat of the Democratic party.
The last Democratic State Convention
did not dare to open its mouth in favor of
protection to American industry, or against
the ratification of the Reciprocity Treaty,
which is free trade in disguise. It had
not tho courage to take sides with the par
ty in other States on those questions, aud
was equally cowardly in declining to take
the other side. On the two great ques
tions which involve the material interests
of the State, the prosperity of its people,
and the development of its wealth, it was
as silent as the grave. Xo one doubts that
its sympathies are with the enemies of our
material progress, and the rule is as good
in this case as in every other "He that is
not for us is against us."
"If therefore, the people of Pennsylvania
wnat to defend and promote the growth
and prosperity of their State they will not
entrust its destinies to the hands of a party
that dare not open its lips in their favor.
The Democratic party of the nation is for
free tradv, and the outspoken part of it is
in favor of repudicat nd it is for the
people of Pennsylvania is decido whether
they, will again permit such a party to con
trol, and by controlling to ruin, their fu
ture prospects.
The Republican party of the State has
had possession of the Government since
1801, and has proved in that time its claim
to continued public confidence. It has ad
ministered the government honestly, faith
fully, economically and justly. The State
has grown with rapid strides under its foster
ing care ; the laws are everywhere judiciouly
enforced ; and it needs but the maintenance
of the protective policy on the part of the
National Government, to secure our ad
vance, at an early day, into the front rank
of all the States.
When the Republicans assumed the reins
of the State Government in 1801 they
found a State debt of over $10,000,000,
and the breaking uut of the Rebellion en
tailed an immediate addition to that debt
of 3,500,000 for arming the people and
defending the State, so that they began
their administration with the burden of
over 13,000,000 of debt. That debt has
now been reduced to 21,000,000, a reduc
tion in round numbers of 10,000,000. in
thirteen years, or 1.500,000 yearly. This
reduction has been accomplished by economy
and honesty in the administration of the
finances, and not by taxation. The State
tax on real estate was repealed in 1800,
and that on personal estate in 1873, so that
while the State is free from direct taxation
it is still rapidly and steadily extinguish-
,11' O
uig its debt.
Tfcw U a handsome record to present,
and is a complete answer to all the ridicu
lous charges that have been trumpeu up oi
corruptness and extravagance. The State
has never been better or more honestly
managed under any Udmiuistration, ;and
we point to tins record with, priae m ine
contrast at presents to the policy which;
durin"- the rule of the Democrats, inflicted
upon the- State a debt of 40,000,000, ac-
companied with a heavy burden ot direct
taxation.
We desire to ' remind our Republican
friends that the Legislature to be chosen
this fall will have in its hands the election
of a United States Senator for six years.
It is of the utmost importance, therefore,
that, ignoring all causes of local distraction,
they should unite actively, firmly, and
harmoniously in behalf ot their local candi
dates for the Legislature throughout the
Sf.-itc. Every Democrat elected to the Le-
gislature in Republican counties on a focal
. .
issue, will vote only lor a jJemocrat lor
United States Senator, and no true Repub
lican will, by his vote, render such a result
possible.
We also entreat our Inends to pay no
hood in tho attempt to delude them into
the belief that the Republican party is op
nosed to the new CVntitution. It was a
Republican State Convention which first
demanded a revision of the old Constitu
tion so as to secure, the suppression of
unofial li-f!s! if ion : it was a Republican i.e-
- r '
"'islature which called the Constitutional
f1. invention : the Constitutional Conven
tion was itself Republican ; it was the Re-
publican vote of the State AvJnch secured
the adoption of the new Constitution ; and
it was a Republican Legislature which
framed the legislation necessary to carry
its provisions into effect. The party re
cord is too clean upon all these points to
be questioned or doubted.
The business depression which lias fal-
len upon the country in the past year has
been blamed upon the uovernment and as
the effect of Republican policy ; but as the
same depression was prevalent throughout
- - - t
Europe, it is clear that it must be due to
other causes. The country is already rapid
lv rrvoverinr? from its effects, a result
which, when panics occurred heretofore,
required several years to accomplish : and
as the only remedy which Democracy of
fers is free trade and a return to the de
structive policy which produced the ruinous
revulsions of 1837 and 1857, the people
will find it much safer to trust to the policy
under which the country is now recuperat
ing than to fal! back upon the exploded
one that prevailed under Democratic rule.
We earnestly urge upon our friends
throughout the Commonwealth to wake rtp
to the real importance of the pending elec
tion, and by energetic work to render cer
tain a Republican victory. Such a victory
is not to bo won hy supineness, and folding
the hands in careless neglect of the great
issues at stake. Victory, if won, must lc
sought, and not waited for. Active, ener
getic, unflagging effort is essential to as
sured success. It is not in the power of
the Democracy to carry this State of them
selves, but carelessness and neglect on our
part may aid them.
Organization, work, and the cultivation
of a spirit of conciliation and harmony
where local differences have prevailed, will
accomplish much ; and we apjeal to the
Republicans of the State, as they love their
cherished principles, as they are devoted
to the promotion of the material interests
of the Commonwealth, as they value the
preservation of the peace of the Union and
its perpetuity, as they desire the permanent
establishment of the protective policy, as
they value honesty, integrity, and fidelity
in their public servants, to put on a fresh
zeal for their sacred and righteous cause
to renew their hearty devotion to their
principles and the welfare of the country,
and by a strong and determined rail at
the polls, to crush out at once the hopes of
those who would light again the fires of
rebellion at the South, and the purpose to
co-operate with them which animates their
Democratic coadjutors at the North.
By order of Republican State Commit

burgh, he met, at Tyrone, several promin
ent Democrats, of Clearfield, and naturally
enough began talking about their candida
tes. In speaking of their candidate for
Lieutenant Governor John Iatta Mr.
Speer remarked that, "if it should come to
pass that the Democratic ticket were elected
thi.s fall, and the'Governor were to die,
thus putting Latta in the chair as acting
Governor, it would be mi ajj'iction of which
God Almighty never dreamed!'' How is

To the Penitentiary.
Yesterday Sheriff Whitaker, of I iiizcrne
county, with a posse of nine deputies,
brought sixteen prisoners down the Lehigh
Valley Railroad from Wilkesbarre, on
their way to the Eastern Penitentiary, at
Philadelphia. Lapp, one of tho prisoners,
who murdered the Ilazletou policeman,
and who was sentenced to twelve years im
prisonment at hard labor, was accompanied
by his wife and child as far as Mauch
Chunk. On the trip one of the prisoners
worked the handculfs off his wrists with a
piece of wire, and was discovered only in
time to prevent him from leaping from the
train. The prisoners were safely taken
the balance of the journey. South Hethlc

and make a short call on a sister member
who resides just across the street. As might

Then she called on all the other members
