Republican National Nominations.
FOR PRESIDENT,
RUTHERFORD 1. II AYES, of Ohio.
FOR VICE-TItESIPEXT,
"WILLIAM A. WHEELER, ofXew York.
In the Centennial year of the American
Republic, there arose a loud cry iu the land,
and the people thereof looked and listened,
and heboid it was the voice of the great un
washed bawling "Reform." From the Five
Points a smell of gin and "Reform" from
the "Dance Hout-es" arose dust and "Re
ibrm" from "Mackcrclville" and from the
"Hook" filth and "Reform": The peacea
ble inhabitants of Rlackwell's Island join
their pads of Auburn and Sim? Sing "Re
form." Long Island City kicks the Bible
out of 1I12 public schools "Reform." Mon
roe county vote for school opponents "Re
form" Southrons raise again the Rebel flag
and hurrah for "Reform." The adopted
ritizen lands upon our shores and his prcist
gives him the watchword "Reform." So
;.re the hermits Tweed, Genet, Sec. undoubt
ly praying for "Reform." Where is Floj-d
and his host, shouting with the rest " Re
f.irin? What matters whether the rank and
ii'u know the meaning of the word. Do they
know what the word "Democrat" means?
. Webster must get out a new dictionary this
year, for Reform with them means spoils.
Probably no two men ever had their lives
scrutinized so closely as Messrs Tilden and
Hayes, the object being to judge what they
will do ia the future by their record of the
pastj if there is any virtue in this method,
let us apply the same rule to those men who
have been guilt of corruption during the
present administration when it will be found
t'a it a great majority of the eorruptiouists
vcre educated in and brought up by the
Democratic party, and the Republicans as a
paity are in no way responsible for them.
They were kicked out as soon as detected.
Democrats ask control of the Government
on the score of iniquity by the Republicans:
What guarantee are they able to give that
th'jy will be houest aud abstain Irom all cor
rupt practices ?
Certainly the old time record will not give
them a character. The Republicans present
the great advantage in this respect that their
h-.idt.rs have had sixteen years trial, with
unimpeachable record for the great majority,
;md the few corrupt ones discarded, puuished
awl weeded out. The Democrats come with
the same bad men of 1SC0 still in their par
ty, with a. very hungry look on their faces,
:r;J with the dangerous doctrine "To the
victor belongs the spoils" (which means any
thing "'se than Reform) emblazoned on their
l:ir.:rs. 2ow the American people are not
to bo fooled with any thing so thin as this
cry of ''Reform." Let them apply Reform
i',. .t to themselves, let them raise the Ameri
can Flag iu the South, and trample down the
Rfbul rag forever. Cut loose from the slums
f the cities. Advocate education and dis
c:ur::ge ignorance. Retain the bible in the
public schools, in short cast the beam from
their own rye, before setting up such a
transparent dodge as "Reform" for their
neighbor.
We adiiut that the Democratic ranks are
Kiuly in need of reform and it is to be wished
that they will succeed in reforming them
selves. No party needs it so much as they.
Rut what a mounstrous absurdity for the De
niocrac7 to attempt to lead a reform with
1'iily McMullen and John Morris at their
head. Rill Tweed could make a more plau
.'ible showing than that. Rut why add
words to their miserable pretense? We all
know that the Democracy have done every
thing to get into office except reform, and
now the are resolved to try that. And who
in his sober senses doubts that they would
reform twice a week if they could ouly make
votes by so doing? And who believes that
they would say a word about reform if they
did not hope to add votes to their thin racks,
get into office and gobble the spoils? Rut
we have no fear that the people are silly
cuough to be deceived by any such lame,
bog-hay pretense of reform. They will go
for the genuiue article which grows thrifty,
rich and stroDg ou the fertile lauds of the
west.
We observe by circular that the most
TIT
i'orthy Graad Master of the Right Worthy
(J rani Lodge, I. O. O. F. of Pennsylvania
makes an earnest appeal to the subordinate
lodges under his judisdiction to perfect
arrangements and participate in the grand
parade of the order to take place in Phila
delphia on Wednesday, September 20th
ntxt. It must be gratifying to the Grand
Lodge oilkters to witness the ready resjonse
making to their patriotic request. Already
liberal donations towards the expences of the
parado are being forward from the country,
and the signs all indicate that a liberal pro
portion of the 00,000 Odd Fellows of Penn
sylvania will take part personally in the
parade. We are assured by one whose op
portunities for knowing are uuquestiouable
that Luzerne county's Lodges will be repre
sented by at least 1,000 of the brethren in
full regalia, and from indications here the
tleli gution from Monroe county will comprise
the bulk of the members-hip; aud we pre
mum that in the other counties of the State,
and in other States, the same spirit will work
to secure such a display as will not only prove
an honor to the order, but also a worthy con
tribution to t lie patriotic observance of the
-Centennial of the greatest, most free, and
3iest govern incut ou God's footstool..
Ilaj cs and lYItcclcr Club.
At last a move has been made in the right
direction in the direction of Republican
organization in this county. After several
preliminary meetings for the purpose of per
fecting arrangements, a large number of the
Republicans of the borough met on Monday
evening last and instituted a Hayes and
Wheeler club, with Jackson Lantz, Presi
dent; C. U. Warnick and Gershom Hull,
Vice Presidents; Henry Miller, Correspond
ing Secretary; Archibald Dinsmore, Record
ing Secretary, and A. C. Jansen and Theo
dore C. Rrown, Assistants. The Commit
tee appointed for that purpose at a former
meeting reported the renting of a room in
the third story of Keller's building, opposite
the Jeffersonian office, and a new Committee
was appointed to solicit funds for the neces
sary expenses of the Club, as follows : A. C.
Jansen, Theodore C. Drown, J. II. McCarty
and Jeremiah Krcsge.
The Club being so ably officered, and its
membership consisting of active, thorough
going Republicans, there is no reason why
it should not be made a nucleus around which
all the Republicans of the County should ral
ly, aud the center from which the pure and
patriotic sentiments of the party may be lib
erally spread throughout the length and
breadth of Monroe. We have no advice to
offer in this connection because we know the
members of the Club to be men of discern
ment, energy and vim, and that they appre
ciate the necessities of the case and will labor
accordingly. With this knowcldge we are
content to place the management in their
hands with the assurance that iu all efforts
for the advancement of the cause they may
depend upon the Jeffersonian to aid them
to the full extent of its ability. Now boys let
the work begin. True it. is sone time yet until
election day, but we have a heavy job to ac
complish, and we shall find none too much
time in which to make such inroads into
Democracy, as earnest, steady work alone
will enable us to secure and rejoice over.

Mr. E. F. Pai.f.n of Canadensis has in his
possession, a well preserved French coin
dated 1677. This piece of money lias done
its usual work of buying and selling for
many more years than any piece that has yet
come under our observation in this neighbor
hood. Who can form an idea of the amount
of good and evil cf which it has been produc
tive to humanity and the community since
the commencement of its voyage down the
stream of time ?
The Monroe Zouave's third pic-nic, on
Staufler's hill, on Saturday evening, was a
complete success socially, pleasurably and
financially. The grouds were literally crow
ded, and every one present seemed bent to
make the occasion one of real enjoyment, and
happily succeeded. The parade of the Zou
aves through town, headed by the Strouds
burg Cornet Rand was a sight richly worth
witnessing. The excellence of the music, the
precision of military movements and ma
noeuvres, would have proved honorable to
veterans.
The friends of the Hamilton Rand pur
pose getting up a pic-nic for the benefit of
that excellent institution on Saturday the
29th inst., in Erdman's Grove, near Hamil
ton Church. The band will be present and
enliven the occasion with first class music
under the leadership of Aaron Rittenbender.
Refreshments iu abundance will be on hand,
and it will be altogether unreasonable to
expect anything but a good time when so
many wholesoled, good hearted fellows as are
the members of the band, are sure to be
present. There should be a large turnout.
That agricultural fair that we ought to
have this fall we fear is really non ext. And
what a pity, especially in view of the fact
that all are beginning to feel rationally in
regard to fairs, and that we would in all like
lihood have something beside a horse race,
sideshows of "snake tamers," hideous mon
strosities and "gin mills" under cover of la
ger beer booths, to amuse and instruct the
thousands who would come together. It is
not too late even now to get up a fair, but to
make it successful we should go to work with
out delay and get out handbills, prepare pre
mium lists to be honestly carried out, and
otherwise start the ball in motion.
For an hour's most interesting reading we
are greatly indebted to Col. Charles Rrod
head, of Rethlehem, who so kindly preseutcd
us with a forty-eight page pamphlet history
of the old "Sun Inn" at that place. The
pamphlet embraces a period from the com
mencement of the building up of the town
down to the present time, and including as it
does reference to both the startling and ro
mantic iucidents of the revolution in which
Washington, Green, Knox, Lafayette and
others of the great generals, and John Ad
ams aud many others of the noted civilians
of ' the times that tried men's souls," so
journed at the old Inn, it is really valuable
as furnishing a condensed reminder of events
always moct interesting to Americans.

TnE boarding houses in this neighborhood,
for a week past, have been filling up so rap
idly that some of them arc now full to over
flowing. This fact makes a busy time for
our merchants, fills our side-walks with live
ly pesdestrians, and makes good, cheerful
times all around.
E. K. Wvckoff, formerly with Joseph
Wallace, has just returned from New York
with a large stock of boots and shoes which
he assures us he can sell cheaper than the

friends to go and examine his stock before
purchasing elsewhere. See his advertise
ment in another column.
A NEAT circular containing the resolve of
the Stroudsburg Cornet Rand, electing us
an honorary member of that excellent mu
sical institution lias been received. Though
not much of a "blower," and but given to
an indulgence in "brass," we feci none the
less under obligations to the members of the
band for the honor conferred. They will
please accept our thanks, and our assurance
that as in the past, so also iu the future, our
best wishes will continue to be cutcrtained
for the advancement of the band, and for
the health, prosperity and happiness of its
members.
Bcunr.Auv.- The merchant tailoring
establishment of M. M. Burnett, Esq., in
this borou.'h, was burglariously entered
on Saturday evening last. The burglars
seemed to have been intent only on provid
ing for present personal wants, as two coats,
two pair of pants and vests, and other articles
of wearing apparel are all that arc missing.
A large quautity of clothing was taken from
the shelf, and examined, and evidently after
a selection of suitable sizes and quality the
thieves left. They showed consideration but
then even the virtue in this respect would be
greatly improved by a somewhat lengthy
sojourn iu Unhide Shaftr.

A Haves and Wheeler club has been or-
ganized at Dos Monies, Iowa, with nearly
'l.bbv members, among them several lile-
loug Democrats.
The Daily GloLe, a Democratic paper of
Lincoln, Nebraska, hoists the name of
Hayes for President, announcing this as
"the ouly course left since the fatal action
of the St. Louis Convention.'1
When before in the history of this coun
try has a candidate for President appeared
in the daily court records, during the cam
paign, as defendant to a suit against him
lbr swindling and robbery ? Yet Mr.
Samuel J. Tilden is in that condition.
The Chattanooga (Tenn.) Commercial
says : "Colonel Samuel G. Reid lias hoisted
the banner of Hayes and Wheeler in the
Montgomery (Ala.) Bulletin. Colonel
Reid was for some time previous to the
war, during, aud after it up to 1808, the
leading Democratic editor of that State.
He is a man of truth, honor and courage.
We are glad to note his accession to the
supporters of the national Republican
ticket."
The Democratic papers are printing the
following paragraph :
During the war of the rebellion Governor
Tilden armed and equipped, by money tak
en from his own private purse, four com
panies of New York volunteer soldiers.
The New York Times shows that this is
a lie out of the whole cloth. Tilden never
armed and equipped a single soldier, much
less four companies of volunteers. He was
never known to do anything to help on the
war, cither by assisting the soldiers them
selves or by ministering to their families
during their absence or after their deaths.
On the contrary, he is known to have re
fused assistance on many occasions. For
example the following case, which the
Times says is "well-authenticated," is cited:
Early iu the war young man of excellent
family and superior character and attain
ments was desirous of raising a company,
lie waited upon Mr. Tilden, with whom
he had an acquaintance, and asked him to
give him a letter of recommendation to cer
tain State officials. Mr. Tilden's reply was
m substance as follows: "loung man, you
need not come to me for any such letter of
recommendation ; this war is a perfect out
rage, and I will lend no assistance what
ever to lis prosecution."

Remember These Dates.
Many voters arc annually lost by a
neglect to comply with the "requirements1
of the law relative to assessments and pay
ment of taxes. All persons, to secure the
right to vote iu Pennsylvania, must be
assessed two months before election and
have paid a State or county tax (cither
will do) within two 3-ears. In case the tax
is paid this year, it must be a month be
fore the election.
Foreign born citizens wishing to vote
next November must take out their
naturalization papers a month before elec
tion. They -must also be assessed two
months previous to the day of voting.
The election will be held on the "Tues
day next following the first Monday of
November," being this year the 7th day of
the month.
Monday, September 4, is the last day
for being assessed.
Tuesday, October 5, is the last day for
securing naturalization papers.
Tuesday, October 5, is the last day on
which taxes can be paid in legal time to
vote.
The above dates should be carefully re
membered and acted on by all voters.
