A man who from liix youtli up lias fouplit

where no lio of success could add vigor
and real t the contest, and with no reward
save the consciousness of having served the
cause he loved.
A man who has attested his love of lilcr

a"ud of blood, who won his promotion in the
glorious I'eiinsylvania Reserves, from t'ai

bore witness with his bloo.1, that he loved
his country well.
He bears upon bis jrson the rough scars
left by the cruel cannon ball, and will car

ism and courage.
He is able, and worthy to lead Republi

The Democratic papers of tlie
State have advocated tl.o candidacy
of Wolfe po effectively among their
followers, that they have lcomc
alarmed at the iossible result, and
are now begging them not to vote
for him, but to stand by their own
party nominee. It looks now as if
Wolfe would draw more votes from
the Democratic than from the Re
publican party.
The Dedford Gazette is much dis
gruntled because Mr. Cessna attends
the Republican township meetings
in this county, and yet its candidate
Mr. Baer attended and mauo a
speech at the Democratic county
meeting in Bedford, claiming votes
as a life-long Democrat, and is mak
ing a diligent personal Ftill-hunt in
this county, soliciting Republican
votes as a non-partisan. The great
est difference in their conduct that
we can see is, that Mr. Cessna makes
a bold, manly, fair canvass, while
Mr. Baer is making sneaking and
disingenuous one.
The Erie Herald, the only daily
Democratic paper published in that
citv, the home of Orange Noble, the
candidate for State
Treasurer, is pouring enough hot
slirrf into him to sink a fleet of iron
clad Democrats.
Tlie Herald says that Xoble came
into the "Democratic party only a
few years since avowedly in search
of an office; that the first thing he
did was to become a candidate in
1875 for State Treasurer, an office he
is utterly incompetent to fill, and
that failing to secure the nomination
he bolted, and supported Henry
Rawle, Republican candidate. Again
last year, as the Democratic candi
date for the Legislature, he ran more
than three hundred votes behind
the ticket in the city of Erie. For
these reasons the Herald thinks that
Noble has no claim on the support
of honest Democrats, and that he is
a miserably weak candidate. We
sympathize with our namesake in
its contempt for and hostility to
bolters, and the languidness of the
Democratic campaign throughout
the Slate shows that the bolter will
be bolted, and that Noble will be
largely defeated by the stay-at-home
members of his own party.
No man has labored more zealously
for .the party, nor done more cfi'ec-
tivr, good work, lie lias all me
elements of a good Judge in him.
He is a Inker lawyer than Mr. Baer,
and is his equal m character and
general ability. His temper is even
and his energy uncqualed. Why
should any Republican desert him
or the party at this time? Luke
warm ness as to his election, or
treachery to so worthy a candidate
will only pave the way for the loss
of our Congressional and Senatorial
elections next year. We therefore
appeal to all true Republicans to
stand by him as faithfully as they
do by their cc tnty ticket.

ADDRESS OF PRESI
DENT ARTHUR.
ELECTION!
TUESDAY, ll 8ft!
Reitblicaxs 1 go to the polls and
vote a clean ticket! The Republi
can that scratches is getting down to
work that should he left to old hens.
Between this and election day the
majority for Baily, Cessna, and the
whole ticket can be increased several
hundred, if every Republican does
his duty.
It is most amusing to see how ,
ardently the Democratic editors of
the State are advocating the election
of Wolfe, but not one of the rascals
will vote for him.
Ji'Dge Hall should send Baer a
lock of his hair, and soothe him
with the promise, " blessed are they
that expect nothing, for they shall
not be disappointed."
Wolfe's little balloon has col
lapsed. He punctured it himself
by his bitter attack on (."ov. Hoyt
and State Treasurer Butler. They
both gave the lie to his allegations,
and the decent men who had in
tended supporting him immediately
abandoned his cause.
Representative Bierlv, of Ly
coming county, a Democrat, is out
for Wolfe for State Treasurer. Like
our tender-footed Republicans, he is
forninst " Bosses," and he' says that
Noble owes his nomination solely to
Senator Wallace, and that both arc
the tools of corporations.
. We have information from nearly
every portion of the county, showing
a healthy and gratifying public sen
timent The Republicans are alive
to the importance of the local con
test, and Mr. Baer is not likely to
reap an abundant harvest of votes
from the active personal still-hunt
he is making.
While Mr. Baer is prancing
around this county begging Repub
lican votes, the Bedford Gazette is
doing its level best to rally the Dem
ocrats of that county to his support,
as the Democratic candidate. Baer
is famous as a "dodger," but the
counties are too close together for so '
thin a dodge to win.
Reformers, like liars, should have
good memories. It looks a little
wild to see the New York Tribune
and other papers that howled so
lustily a few months since against
the M Cotikling machine " and ixliti
eal assessments, now justifying as
sessment when money is needed to
run the canvass for the Reformers in
New York.
The result of the elections in Ohio
and Iowa has virtually settled tlie
contest in this State, and we have no
doubt of the election of General Baily
bya majority that will surprise the
country. General Baily is a most
unexceptionable candidate, a man
of the neonle. a workins man.
against whose honesty and capacity j
not a word has been or can be truth
fully uttered. He was nominated
by an overwhelming majority, and
one of his heartiest supporters is
Col. Davies, his unsuccessful com
petitor. The Republicans of this State
have not a particle more cause for
deserting their party nominee at
this time than had the Republicans
of Ohio at the late election. They
are aware that the attempts leing
made to keep alive the spirit of fac
tions, is simply a device to defeat
tlie party and elect a Democrat to
tlie only State office to be filled, and
thus pave the way to the election
of a Democratic Governor next year.
Pennsylvania Republicans are not
less intelligent and patriotic than
their brothers in Ohio, and are re
solved to prove to the world by the
election of General Bail', that their
banner cannot be trailed in the dust
bv a few factionists who would sac
rifice the party and its principles to
gratify their own selfish ambition.
General Davikh, the unsuccess
ful candidate for the nomination
against General Baily, warmly sup
ports the latter, and denounces the
candidacy of Wolfe.
Pennsylvania Republicans owe
it to the memory of Garfield, who
was a gallant soldier, as well as to
their oft-repeated profession of devo
tion to the heroes of the war for the
Union, to give Gen. Silas M. Baily a
twenty thousand majority next
month.
Ax exchange says: I'he convicts
in the Ohio penitentiary have sent
$100 to the Michigan sufferers.
They raised this sum by denying
themselves the luxury of tobacco
and from the sale of trinkets which
they made." It is sometimes good
to imitate the charity even of the
convicts of a penitcntiarj'.
General Baily says he has just
made a tour of the northern coun
ties and the oil region, and is entire
ly satisfied with '.he outlook. He
savs the large audiences which Mr.
Wolfe is drawing are composed al-
i r T . - . . T .
most entireiv oi i'emociuis, wuj i
few Republicans going to hear him,
and feels sure that if the Wolfe
movement gains no more strength
proportionately during the rest oi
the campaign than it has up to this
imo In own flection will not be
endangered.
Pkeswext AiiTiii R made a little
speech at Yorktown yesterday which
was a worthy companion-piece to
his inaugural address. Nothing
could have been more graceful and
felicitous than the spirit and manner
in which he touched upon the event
commemorated and defined the na
ture and purpose of its celebration.
His language is characterized at
once by modesty and manliness, by
patriotic prid and by international
courtesy. His reference to England
and to the sympathy vhich the
English people have so recently ex
pressed for the citizens of this Re
public was singularly happy, and
will assuredly make a deeply favor
able impression upon the British
mind. The speech was, in short, a
model of c:ood taste and retincd
feeling. North American.
William J. Baeb hasn't the ghost
of a chance for an election, except
by Republican votes, and that is
precisely what he is trying to ac
complish. The proceeding is a
cheeky one oil lus part. Was Mr.
Baer ever known to vote for a Re
publican for Judge, or for any other
office ? He is, and always has lcen,
a bitter, uncompromising Democrat,
and the Republican who votes for
him has but one other tep to take
to march straight out of the partv.
Oir advices from this county as
well as from Bedford, satisfy us that
Mr. Cessna is going to be elected
Judge by a majority in the neigh
borhood of one thousand votes.
We know that there are some Re
publicans in this county who will
be seduced into betraying their par
ty and voting for Mr. Baer, and we
know also that there are members of
his own party in the county who
will not touch him. We know fur
ther, that in his long and active po
litical life, as in the course of his
professional duty, Mr. Cessna has
alienated some of the Republican
voters of his own county, but he has
many warm and attached
friends in the Democratic ranks.
We are advised, also, that Judge
Hall, ingrate that he is, is attempt
ing to defeat the nominee of the
party that honored him with this
same office, and made him pecunia
rily all he is, but there is not much
to be feared from the influence of
one who was so stingingly rebu'.ed
by these same people of his n
county, when he asked a renomiua-
tion at their hands. There are al-o
a few, happily very few, men in this
county holding aloof from the can
vass, from whom the party has a
right to expect better things ; but in
all this there is nothing discouraging
to the friends of Mr. Cessna.
Years of observation have shown
us how powerless leaders, or would
be 44 Bosses " are, when they attempt
to 6tem the current or to set them
selves up against honestly and regu
larly made nominations, and we
long since learned that rumored
party defections are always multi
plied ten or even twenty fold. The
stories peddled through Bedford
county about the big majority Mr.
Baer is going to receive here are the
veriest bosh, the silliest brag, while
the tales reported here of his antici
pated majority in Bedfofd county
are, we are well assured, of a simitar
untruthful character. We believe
know whereof we affirm when
The Harrisburg Tel-graph asks the
following questions, which are wor
thy of serious consideration by Re
publicans :
Do von prefer success with a gal
lant soldier as vour candidate, true
to every principle of the party that
has made the country glorious and
prosperous for the last twenty years,
or to have tho party defeated and
Democracy successful with a candi
date who is ready to endorse the
worst herceies of the Democratic
party merely that his personal suc
cess" may be promoted? The Re
publican that is infatuated enough
to do this need only vote for Charles
S. Wolfe. . . .
Are you ready to sacrifice princi
ples oil which are now based the
triumnh3 of low interest on the State
and National elebts, and steady
liquidation of both, the constant
nrosneritv of labor, the fair wages of
the laborer, the protection of his in
dustry, the impartiality of Govern
ment," and the purity of it? adminis
tration, merely that Quixotic as
saults on the character of certain
Republican leaders may be sustain
ed? Can you sacrifice the measures of
your party to punish what is called
the defects of its leadership, where
by in twenty years it never lost an
election in which any of the princi
ples referred to above were involved
as issues?
If it be true, as Republicans al
ways claimed, that the continued
success of Republican institutions,
and the integrity, good faith and
financial prosperity of the people
depend largely on Republican suc
cess, what excuse, then, has any in
telligent Republican to vote against
his party in the November election?
Will any Republican, independ
ent, stalwart or radical concede that
the Democratic party is m any par
ticular qualified or fitted to admin
ister any of the powers of the Gov
ernment, State or National, after it
labored for five years to destroy its
national organization, and scatter its
States into bitter antagonism ?
A close consideration of these
questions will enable Republicans
to vote intelligently.
T.VJ. 1'RESIHKNT S AUURESS.
"Upon this soil," he said, "one
hundred years ago, our forefathers
brought to a successful issue their
heroic struggle for independence.
Here and then was established, and
as we trust, made secure upon this
continent for ages yet to come, that
principle of government which is
tho very fiber of our political, sys
temthe sovereignty of tlie people.
The resentments which attended,
and for a time survived, the
clash of arms has long since ceased
to animate our hearts. It is with
no fee ling of exultation over a de
feated foe that to-day we summon
up a remembrance of those events
which have made holy the ground ;
whereon we tread. Surely no such
unworthy sentiment could find har
bor in our hearts, 60 profoundly fill
ed with expression of sorrow and
sympathy which our national be
reavement has evolved from the
people of England and their august
sovereign ; but it is altogether fitting
that we should gather here to refresh
our souls with the contemplation of
the unfaltering patriotism, the stur
dy zeal and the sublime faith which
achieved the results we now com
memorate. For so, if we learn a
right lesson of the hour, shall we be
incited to transmit to tlie generation
which shall follow the precious leg
acy which our fathers left to us, the
love of liberty protected by law.
Of that historic scene which we here
celebrate no feature is more promi
nent and none more touching than
the participation of our gallant al
lies from across the sea. It was
their presence which gave fresh and
vigorous impulse to the hopes of
our countrymen when well nigh
disheartened by a long series of dis
asters. It was their noble and gen
erous aid, extended in the darkest
period of the struggle, which sped
the coming of our triumph and
mndfi the caDitulation of Yorktown
possible a century ago. To their de
scendants and representatives who
are here present as the honored
frticsts of the nation it is my glad
? ,.,1 X- ..
Hut v to o t-r coruiai welcome, x wu
have a right to share with us the as
sociation which cluster about the
day when vour fathers fought side
by side with our fathers in the cause
which was here crowned with suc
cess, and none of these memories
wakened bv this anniversary are
more grateful to us all than the
reflection that the national friend
ships here so closely cemented have
outlasted the mutations of a change
ful century. God grant, my coun
trymen, that they may ever remain
unshaken and that ever henceforth
with ourselves and with all the na
tions of the earth we may be at
peace."
The President was not interrupt
ed during the delivery of his address,
but there was great enthusiasm at
the close. . .
Tlie following order was read ly
Secretary Blaine :
'In recognition ol tue inenu'y re
lations so long and happily existing
between Great Britian and . the Uni
ted States, in trust and confidence
of peace and good will between the
two countries to come, and especial
ly as a mark of profound respect
entertained by the American people
for the illustrious and gracious lady
who sits upon the British throne, it
is hereby ordered that at the close
of these "ceremonies commemorative
of the valor and success of our fore
fathers in their patriotic struggle
for independence, the British flag
shall be saluted by the processions
of the army and navy of the United

accordingly.

SPEECH OF THE MABQITIS DE ROCHAM-
BEAV.
The Marquis de Rjchambeau
made a . graceful speech in French,
in wnicn ne saiu : citizens in wjc
United States, you have invited us
to celebrate with you the great
achievement of arms, and we did not
hesitate to brave the terrors of the
ocean to say to you that what our
fathers and brothers did in 1781 we,
their sons, would be willing to-day
to do and to attest our constant
fricndship,and to further show that
we cherish the same sentiments as
our fathers in those glorious days
we celebrate. In the name of my
companions, who represent here the
men who fought, permit me to hope
that the attachment formed in these
days around this monument which
is about to be erected, will be renew
ed in one hundred years, and will
again celebrate the victory which
joined our fathers in comradeship
and alliance-"
Baron Steuben then responded in
German in an appropriate speech
which was loubly applauded.

Mt. Pleasant, Oct, 20. last
night a very bold robbery was com
mitted by a gang of outlaws at the
house of John Galloway, two
miles northeast of town.
Galloway is an unmarried man
seventy years of jge. lie was sup
posed to have mout- a'. nv his house.
Nancy Newell, hid housekeeper,
aged forty-five, was also supposed
to have some money.
Last night about eight o'clock,
Mr. Galloway had retired and Miss
Newell extinguished the light pre
paratory to going up etairs when a
knock was heard at the door. The
housekeeper asked the name. Re
ceiving no reply she called Mr. Gal
loway, who came down stairs and
asked who was there. After some
hesitation one of the men said his
name wus Johnston, when Gallo
way onened the door. Five bold
looking men confronted him. They
said thev had treed a coon and
wanted an ax to cut the tree down.
to which Galloway replied that he
would not cive his ax at that time
ofuicht The men took hold of
the old trentleman. He tried to
o
keen them off. but was soon over
powered. They knocked him down,
dragged him out on the porch and
beat him s badly that it will prob
ably end in murder. lie fought
for his life and even got his knife
out he says he succeeded in cutting
one across the hand and another
alout the mouth. The villains beat
him about the head and jumped on
Ins breast to keen him down. A
deep hole is cut over his right eye,
and in the skull. Both hands arc
terribly lacerated and one arm bad
ly oruiseti.
While some of the men were man-
iiirini? Galloway one went into the
house. drazEretl Nancy Newell out on
the porch, blindfolded her. choked
and smothered her. and offered her
whiskv. threw her on the floor and
nctuallv outraged her. Her feet
were tied with a whip lash and her
hands were tied behind her with a
handkerchief. The villains threat
ened to blow her brains out if she
did not keep quiet.
After the men succeeded in get
ting Mr. Galloway and Miss Newell
under control thev proceeded to
search the house. They stolei n all
S2.41W in cold, silver and paper.
81.9)0of the money belonged to Mr.
Gallowav. who kept it in a bureau
drawer in a room down stairs ; $700
of this money was in gold and the
rest in silver and paper money. In
a bureau up-stairs they found $")00
, i i t:. X- 11 TV,.i
oeionging W iUISH wencu. i"ct
searched every drawer and even box
es in the carret Papers and cloth-
inc were strewn over the floor. Hu
man blood was smeared over the
room and porch, which presented
a most pitiful sight to the reporter
thismorninsr.
After they had secured their booty
they next talked of burning the
house, but after some discussion de
cided not to. About 11 o'clock,
leaving their victims bound hand
and foot, they quitted the premises.
After repeate'd efforts Miss Newell
succeeded in freeing her hands and
feet and ran to the .house of Mr.
King, who is Galloway's tenant
Dr. Fulton was summoned ana
dressed the old gentleman's wounds.
The doctor says Galloway is in a
critical condition, but with careiui
nursing he may recover.
Miss Newell gives the following
description of the villains who treat
ed her so basely : The fiend who
draircred her to the porch and outrag
ed her is about six feet in height
and rather slim, with dark hair
and about 2o years old. The one
who first attacked Galloway is short
and heavy set, is round laced with
a sandy musrache, and wore a cap.
The other three were young men.
She thinks she would recognize all
the men asain. but don't think she
ever saw them before last night.
From the woman's description of
the men and from other circumstan
ces there is much cause for a plausi
ble suspicion as to who two of the
men are. It has been decided that
a Pittsburgh detective be employed.
The whole community is. greatly
excited over the affair. Such bold
and daring robbery has seldom had
its mrallel in this county. It is
thought the men were not profession
al robbers.

SL Loris, October 19. A special
from Long View, Texas, furnishes
particulars of a revolting crime com
mitted near Breckville. A white
man named Sloan, who with his
family had moved into the neighbor
hood to pick cotton for a Mr. Hill,
had an altercation with a man named
Lum White, and the latter endeav
ored to punish Sloan's children. Be
ing prevented by the mother and
daughter, a girl of nineteen years of
ajre, ho succeeded in enticing tlie lat
ter into a deep ravine, whree, with
the assistance of his wife, he outrage
ed her person. Then, usinghi8 pock
et knile, cut her bowels open length
wise and across, deliberately cutting
off pieces of the entrails as they pro
truded and scattering the fragments
far and near. lie then cut the girl's
throat from ear to ear.
At the inquest White's wife con
fessed to all of the revolting details,
when a young man named Hart, in
censed at the story of fiendish bru
tality, shot the negro dead. The
wife of Lum and an old negro man
who lived with them were started

Dragged and Robbed,
Chicago, October 20. A special
this morning from Quincy states
that the Sny levee has broken about
two miles above focotl's landing.
The exact location of the break can
not be eletermined up to this time,
because of the alarm prevailing
among the people, who seem to be
frantic, and unable to give particu-
rs. Scotts landing is due west
from Rockport four miles, and the
country between the places is almost
one complete slough, which will
prove a receptacle for a largo body
of the water which is now pouring
m through the break. There was a
large quantity of water in the Sny
long before the break occurred, and
this is now rising with great rapidity.
The levee where the break occurred
is lined with timber on either side,
the soil being sand)- and of poor
material for resistance. As soon as
the alarm was given the people in
the vicinity began to seek places of
safety, and to drive their stock to
hiuh sround. The crevasse is said
to be two hundred leet wide and
constantly increasing. Word has
been sent to all of the inhabitants oi
the valley to prepare for the worst.
The flood at this time will prove
more disastrous than the great flood
of last spring. The large corn crops
on the bottom lands had not yet
been secured, and hundreds of thous
ands of bushels were lost, and to acid
to the general destruction the rise in
the river has conic on the jeople so
suddenly and so unexpectedly that
the bottoms are still full of cattle,
horses and other live stock. It will
be impossible to save either or live
stock and in many cases the farmers
will lose even their household enecta.
The railroad feight houses and other
houses along the levee lront are en
tirely surrounded by water and
many of the. floors are covered and
from some of them everything has
been removed. The island between
the bay and the river is completely
submerged, with the exception of a
small piece of ground in the rear of
the marine ways. People living on
this island have all been compelled
to leave as the water rose so rapidly
yesterday that it now covers the
floors of all buildings situated there.
Across the river the low land.; are
nil irmn i1:tvl tr the blufik Many
hogs and cattle have been drowned,
and many more killed by railroad
trains, the animals going on tne em
bankment, that being tlie only
ground that can be found above
water. Almost all the lniiaonanis
lave moved to the bluffs. IiOnetree
rairie. commencing about five
miles north on the Missouri side is

This is the most productive farming

This has all been destroyed, and the
damage done to farmers in this vi

Sensation Over a I'aneral.
PiTTsmufiii, October IS. There
was quite a sensation in Washing
ton, Pa., to-day. On Sunday last
Stephen C. Brotherton. a member of
Jacques de Molay Commandery,
No. .'5. Knights Templar, died. Mr.
Brotherton was one of the bett
known and respected citizens of the
county. To-day as the remains
were about to be transferred to the
Methodist Episcopal Church, the
trustees refused, without any expla
nation whatever, to permit the use
of tho edifice for the funeral services,
causing great surprise and indigna
tion among the friends and relatives
of the deceased. However, the
Second Presbyterian Church people
welcomed with open doors the
Knights Templar, "and they con
cluded their solemn services in that
building. A serious eruption is
now threatening among the Metho
dist congregation, as nearly all the
prominent Masons who are disci
nles'of Wesley, as well as other
prominent Methodists, talk of leav
ing the church.
An Artilleryman loses Iloth Hands.
Yorktown, Oct. 2 Yesterday
when Governor Ludlow and staff of
New Jersey rode up to the New Jer
sey camp they were receivetl by an
artillery'salute by the Camden com
pany. One of the guns having be
come heated, the gunner was unable,
to keep his hand over the priming
hole, and lie removed it just as Pri
vate Disborough, of Trenton, was
ramming home the charge. As the
gunner lifted his hand the gun was
permaturely discharged, and both
of Private Disborough's hands were
blowh off above the wrist. Gover
nor Ludlow and staff were not a
yard from the gun when it was fired
and narrowly escaped. The private
reeled and was caught by Captain

standing by. The surgeons have
some hopes of the unfortunate man's
recovery.

ed him to wine from a flask. While
lying in a drowsy condition on the
seat, and in a car full of passengers,
Brown felt a cloth pressed over his
mouth and nostrils, pne man sat
on him while the other held a
handkerchief. He lost all con
sciousness, and the men pretended
their friend was overcome by heat,

fresh air. There they removed his
belt, and bringing him back, got off
at the next station under pretense
of getting medical aid. The hand

St. Louis, Oct 19. A singular
sight was seen atone of the tables of
the Union Depot dining-room this
morning, it being a girl of ID years
with handcuffs on and in charge of
two deputy sheriffs. The culls were
taken off while she ate and put on
immediately afterward. She was
arrested iu the southwestern part of
the State on a charge of horse steal
ing and had made several attempts
to escape from the officers. She had
hair as black and coarse as an In
dian's, matted over her head, and
hanging down her back ; her cheek
bones were high, and she had small,
piercing gray eyes aud a very large
mouth, but regular teeth. Around
her neck she had a red shawl pin
ned tightly, which gave her face a
very savage appearance, although
she had a white complexion. She
wore a homespun dress and a pair
of hobnailed shoes, and her hands
looked aa coarse as eagle's talons.
