I this county, the Democrate are
making a "still bunt." You would
suppose, so quiet are tbey, that tbey
did not know there was an election
Dext week, yet every township Wader
and politician has a circulat letter in
Lis pocket, urging Liin to get out the
vote, and you can bet yonr bottom
dollar tbat a full Democratic vote
w'll be palled. Don't be fooled. Re
publicans! "Still waters run deep."
Thk Democratic papers of this
State nr trying bard to scare Re
publicans by some of tbe tallest brag
ging we have ever read. Afier
perusing a doren of these journals, a
rtranger would think tbat Pennsyl
vania waa going Democratic by at

There are at least a score of Re-

good men nnd true, who-propose, to

county and Liegialative offices to be
filled next year. To acn one oi
these we say, prove yonr idelity to

duty now. There is no trouble, no
dissension in tbe party, but the vot
ers are nit aroused ta the importance
r,v,; tmirirlf- Jo to Kurk. spend
r few day in getting out the vote,
and you will earn your own reward. ,
Tbe true Republican does not care i
about the drji.es in the hive, it is tbe!
men who work for tbe party tbat are
entitled t, and should have the re .
wards. If tbe vote falls vS, the true,
party man will be annoyed and dia-i
leastd by the crowing of the oppo-(
sition, and will naturally examine the
returns to see where tba losses oc
curred, and just as naturally be wili
not feel like helping to nominate next:
year, a candidate whose township or
borough vote proves tout ne am noi
work this year.
Trove vour faith by your works,
gentlemen ! and remember tbut tbe
ballot box will tell a true tale.
Remember tbat Ohio was lost be
cause Republicans staid away from
tbe polls, or threw tbeir votes away
on Labor or Temperace tickets, that
did not have tbe ghost of a cbance for
snccess. Democracy bad net grown
stronger there, but it was because of
Republican apaiby we lost the battle.
To day tbe Republican banners in
Ohio are trailing in the dnst, because
our friends did not do their duty
This, and nothing more, led to ou
defeat. WUI the Republicans oi
i'ennsvlvania euffer defeat through
tbe same cause? Tbe Democratic
yells of victory, now sounding
over tbe result in Ohio, should but
nerve Republicans for a heroic effort
We have pleety of time left for work,
let tiB improve it. Now i3 the su
preme moment to strike lor victory
Sheridan snatched victory from de
feat, and sent Early "whirling down
tbe valley," at the moment shouts of
triumph were on bis lips. Ohio
should be a warning to us, not
scare. Remember that Pennsylva
nia has thrice ber majority, and that
there are no disssensions in our ranks.
Success is certaio if we will it. Let
every Republican do bis duty, and
tbe sun of Tuesday next will g
down upon an assured and dei-ldei
victory.
Since tbe Republican party came
into power in this State it has reduc
ed tbe Slate debt from Forty millions
ot dollars to abjut thirteen millions;
it has virtually abolished all State
taxes eicept on capital and corpora,
lions; farmers, mechanics and labor
ers tow py do taxes except for
county, school and to wnsbippurposes,
and those tbey must alwRyspay. No
taxpayer in the Cominonwealih has
a single wurd of complaint to make
agaiost Republican management
State 0 nances, and no Demccrat can
puiat out any improvi iu-ui Ibat can
be made. Xow jt is Rrked tbat tbe
parly that has ao wisely and well
administered our aflsirs should be set
a-ide, and tbat the Democratic party
that piled up on us a debt of Forty
j millions by reason of which we wre

Whenever tbe average Democratic

mwiA ahnt ho fall hart on ha
management of tbe State finances as
a last resort. In cont'adiction of tbiV,
the Republican party can point with
just pride to the condition of the
Treasury. Since 1861 tbe adminis
tration of tbe exebeqner has been en
trusted to tbe Rcpnblican party. Du
ring tbat period tbe State debt has
been decreased from $11,000,000 to
14.000,000, showing a reduction of
$27,000,000, or about two thirds of
tbe total indebtedness. A trustee
or executor to whom is confided tbe
management of a large estate, crip
nlcd and bamo3red with - debt, has

cnrtailing tbe larger amount of mort

Precisely the illustrati in we have

Aud the meed of praise is greatly en

this period tbe revenues nf tbe Ktate
have been lessened by tie abolish mr-iit

with narrowed resonrces. tbe debt bas
been atoadily reduced. ' The logic of

Cincinnati, October 23.. A spe

for miles around, was. com milted
abjut 12 o'clock Friday nigbt, on tbe

S. McVey and wife, an old couple,
aged about seventy years, who kept
a loll gate at ibe poiut indicated. A
yuuug girl about fifteen years of age
lived with the old folks, occupying a
sleeps room adjoining theirs, and
all particulars kuown are gathered
from bar. Tbe way she tells it as
follows : Tbat about niiduigbl she
was aroused by tbe firing ot pistol
shots, and bearing shrieks from Mrs.
McVey, the girl became - greatly

a man came

all ibe draaeis, but passed out with

left ibe room the girl rushed to a
wiodow, jumped to the ground, a
die. ante of ali.jut ten feet, and rau to
a neighbor's. Several men repaired
to ibe t-teue, aud op entering the
bouse a horrible sight iret ibeir view.
Tbe old man lay on ibe floor with a
bullet through bis bean and the old
Udy was titling in a chair doubled
up, i:h one bullet in her right breast
and another in ber bead, both in tbeii
night clothes and bjth stone dead.
Tbe boue rr filled with fcaolie,
the murderer baviug attempted to
bum tbe building, but failed. Ac
cording to the girl, the murderer bad
on jeaus pants and a black overcoat.
Great rs.'itement prevailed this morn

St. Lot is, Oct. 2j. Tbe wile of
J. M. Berry, ihe Union Pacific Rail
road robber who a-i k:lfed by Sheriff
Glascock, of Fayette county, Mo., has
brought suit against ".be Sheriff for
120,000 damages. Sheriff Glacc.ck,
alter ibe wounded robber bad twen
brought into the tou uf Mexico,
where be died, stated tbat be first
called npon Barry to surrender, aud
only bred when be attempted to es
cape, thus making as excusable bem-
icide by tbe fact tbat u was commit
ted in the lawful discbarge of official
duty.-
ll is sta'ed, on good authority,
ibat the real fact is that Sheriff Glas
cock crept up on B:rry while be was
asleep in ibe brush, aud Hied bulb
barrels of bis gun, without' calling
on bim to surrender. Tbisstatemeui
ia made tbe more plausible by ibe
signiGcant circuuistauce that eigbi
teen buckshot entered . ibe robber's
leg just above tbe knee, rangiug bp
ward and lodging in ut' going out
through ihe bip, thus showing that
be must bave been - in a iccumben
posiiion, with his feet to the Sheriff,
wben tbe gun was discharged. It
is furthermore stated that tbe Sheriff
and one or two of bis posse admitted
this lobe true, and justified tbe act
by the fact ibat Berry w as a deeper
ado of tbe most dangerous aod sav
age type; tbat be had sworn Lever to
be taken alive, auti that, bring a
dead-fchot, be certainly could bave
killed one of more of bispurcuers bad
be received a moment's warning, ll
is also charged against the Sheiiff
ibat be permitted tbe wounded rob
ber to bleed to death, and with time
