The Republican State of Ohio,
has been fooled away by divisions
in the Renublican ranks on the
whisky question.
News from Dakota says that the
immense wheat crcp of that country
has been largely damaged by the
late excessive rains.
Do our friends in this county note
the very great quiet with which the
Democrats are carrying on their
campaign ? Not a single meeting do
they hold. The Independents are
doing their work for them. They
bold the meetings and denounce the
Republican party, and the Demo
crats attend them all, and do the
howling. When, if ever before, did
our people seethe Democrat attend
ing so-called Republican meetings?
As a eet-off to the loss of eight
Congressmen in Ohio, we gained two
in West Virginia last week, which,
with the one heretofore gained in
Maine, reduces our total loss
to five. With an earnest
effort we can hold all our present
members in Pennsylvania and New
York, and these, with the further
gains that we will have in the West
ern States, by reason of their in
creased representation, will enable
the Republicans to control the next
Congress. Stand up to the work,
friends, for General Campbell. All
is not lost that is in danger.
It must be not only surprising
but amusing to the people of this
county, to listen to the solicitations
of Koontz, Kooser & Co., to support
tbe Independent, and vote against
the regular ticket, when they re
member how many times and oft,
these same orators have besought
them to "stick to the ticket," "vote
the ticket the whole ticket, ?nd
nothing but the ticket," particularly
when they were candidates, as one
or the other of them has been, time
out of mind. Bv the time the elec
tion is over these gentlemen will dis
cover that, although they may
change, principles do not
"Beavek and the whole ticket,"
should be the watchword of every
true Republican. By this sign we
have always won, and we can do it
now, over the combined forces of the
Democracy and their Independent
allies. Reinemiter how oiten the
renegades who are now battling in
th cause of our old enemy, have
besought you to 'stick to the ticket."
The advice was good, if the Devil
gave it. Stand by your guns, Re
publicans ! We must not only beat,
but utterly rout the deserters, who
are trying to show the enemy the
wav into our camp. Treason was
never less odious than it is to-day.
The loss of eight Republican
members of Congress in Ohio, has
startled the protective tariff men of
this State, and they now see that the
only salvation for our manufactur
ers and laborers, is. in sending Re
publican protectionists to Congress.
We must carry every Republican
candidate in this State, if we want to
have protection to our industries
continued, and already the changes
in favor of the Republicans are tell-
ag on the enemy. The Republicans
of Pennsylvania can no longer be de
ceived bv the babble of the Inde
pendent, that the tariff is not an is
sue in this State.

Is the loss of Ohio, by divisions
in the party, the Republicans of
Pennsylvania can see the fate that
awaits them, if they hearken to the
destructive teachings of the Inde
pendents.
Free rum and no Sunday, were
the issues on which the Democrats
carried Ohio last week by a majority
fover 10 HX). That the Democrats
of this State are in unison with their
friends in Ohio, is shown by the ex
treme delight with which the news
is received.
The question troubling the public
iust now. is this: Was Senator
Grofs defeat brought about by the
treachery of Boss Coffroth, who first
lietrayed Uhl for Grof, and then be
trayed Grof for Reynolds? Or was
the Boss downed, and in conse
quence, Grof went under with him
Evehy workingman in the State of
Pennsylvania who votes the Demo

if successful, would legislate then
out of employment? If not, do not
vote for the Democracy.

provided said nominees are not
pronounced in their determination
to support Cameron and the

The Independents of Somerset
County are giving the lie to their
candidate's fine speeches. They
cannot say that Colborn aud Mor
gan were not fairly nominated, and
as Cameron is not a candidate and
cannot be during their term of office,
they cannot support him, and yet,

labor and industry, and to have
Somerset County placed in Congress

their sentiments will be respected,
and their political views carried out
should not fail to ote for Campbell
for Congress, and Longenecker for
Senator.
Remember that the vote of one
Congressman may turn the scale in
the nf xt House, for or against pro
tection, and that if Somerset County
is placed in Democratic districts by
the next legislature, there she
is bound to remain for the next ten
years. Vote for your own interests,
Republicans, and you will surely do
this by voting for Campbell and
Ixmgenecker. f
very able speakers on the stump,
who are doing yeoman service for
the Democracy." The gentleman
expressed surprise, when Mr. Hen
sel added : "Where could we get a
lot of more abler or more effective
campaigners than Messrs. Stewart,
Merrick, Marshall, Koontz, Wolfe,
McMichael and Carson? They are
doing more for Pattison and the
rest of the ticket than any number
of Democrats could. They can reach
Republicans and take votes from
Beaver; Democratic speakers could
reach only those who are right ; Re
publicans are fighting the Demo
cratic battle this year, and we need
only look after the details of the
campaign."
The Republicans of the Bedford,
.somerset, aud r niton Senatorial
District have made an excellent and
popular nomination in the Hon. J.
II. Longenecker, of Bedford. Mr.
Longenecker has served in the House
with high credit, and men like him
are needed very much just at this
time in the Pennsylvania Senate.

To see the rooster aid elephants
in the Democratic papers, t rowing
and cavorting over the Democratic
victory in Ohio, must make the In
deienderits feel good, as they are
doing their lest by dividing the Re
publican party in this State, t give
their Democratic allies the same
chance to crow over the result in
Pennsylvania.
The Independents are directing
their heaviest efforts to the defeat of
. J. Colborn, Esq. "Tray, Blanche,
Sweetheart and little dogs all," are in
full chorus on his trail, and the
'Thunderer," published at Meyers-
dale, vociferously predicts his defeat
by thousands of votes. Mr. Colborn
and his colleague on the ticket, Mr.
Morgan, cannot be defeated by noise,
bluster and denunciation. They
were regularly and honestly nomi
nated, and the petty spite vented
upon them at Independent meetings,
is as harmless as the idle winds.
The Republicans of Somerset Coun
ty are controlled by principle, not
by etty spite.
Koontz and Kooser, the professed
personal friends of William S. Mor
gan, who, for years, have solicited
him to become a candidate for the
Legislature, are now bitterly oppos
ing him. Why is this? Is'nt he
the same intelligent, honest man,
the same good Republican he always
was ? Was'nt he fairlyand honestly
nomirated, and did'nt they both
vote at the primary election, thereby
tacitly pledging their honor to sup
port him ? Why this sudden change?
Is it not because he would not sub
mit to their dictation, would not be
bossed by them, would not leave the
Republican organization, of which
he has always been a consistent
member? Republicans of Jenner
townshio, see to it, that your own
respected and deserving fellow citi
zen polls every vote of the party,
and re:iiember also, that your own
honor is involved in seeing that his
colleague on the ticket (Colborn)
receives an equally good vote. "Prin
ciples, not men." is the motto of true
Republicans.
Those who remember how Cowan,
of this State, Trumbull, of Illinois,
and Doolittle,of Wisconsin, all three
intellectual giants in the Senate dur
ing Lincoln's Administration, kicked
against the party, got outside the
organization, and finally landed in
the Democratic party, where they
sank into utter insignificance ; and
those who look upon that miserable,
despised wreck, Andrew G. Curtin,
once the admired and beloved "great
war Governor" of Pennsylvania,
now a mistrusted and powerless
Democratic member of Congress,
can form some idea of the fate in
store for such renegades as Koontz,
Kooser and others, who, petted and
feasted, and fed fat on Republican
patronage, are now, viper-like, at
tempting to sting the hand that fed
them.
The t:d with which General
Coffroth U talking up the Independ
ent cause, is not calculated to aid it
much in the estimation of thinking
and sincere men. It is corrolwira
tive evidence of the bargain and
ale by which he is to receive Inde
pendent votes, in return for Demo
cratic suji',rt of the Independent
candidates lor the Legislature.

Of course we are sorry to lose
Ohio, but the loss wa not totally
unexpected. The Democrats and
the liquor men were united in favor
offree whiskv and against the law
dispelling observance of the Sab
i:atli. hi!e the Republicans were
divided: the distinctive temperance
men acting as aitant Democrats, j
by voting for a separate temperance
ticket, instead of standing by the
party that was fighting their battle.
The loss of eiht Republican mem
!ers of Congress is the sorest blow,

turning over the Su e government ! the Democrats hoed it would be.
to the party which called him thief but has had just the contrary effect.
The immense Republican meet
ings lately held in Philadelphia
show that the old camp-fires are
burning brightly, and they have
awakened the Democrats from their
delusion that Pattison could carry
that Republican stronghold for Gov
ernor, because he had been elected
Comptroller of that city by Repub
lican votes. .
In their alarm they have put Pat
tison on the stump, and he is now
traveling throughout the State, re
citing pretty little platitudes to tickle
the ears of the voters. The young
man lacks the discretion of the old
er politicians that have him in train
ing, and occasionally blurts out facts
that if shrewd, he would have kept
to himself.
For instance, in a speech made to
the people of Towanda, in which he
took up the cry of the Independents,
he hoi wed against Bossism as lustily
as the most blatant Half-breed could
do, and ued the fallowing language:
"To-day we storm the heights of
" bossism, column by column with the
" Iiul eiuhnU, for the overthrow of a
"combination of men who have
" been felt not only in Pennsylvania,
" but throughout the country, to the
" destruction of every Indeendent
" sentiment that should characterize
" a fr.ee eople."
The absurdity of a man who is
the merest creature of bossism. who
was made a candidate for Governor
solely through the influence of the
Democratic bosses in his own city,
who is too callow to stand alone
without a boss to prop him up, and
prompt him. prating to an intelli
gent people about "storminir the
heights of bossism" is unequalled in
the annals of jMtlitics ; but the im
portant point f this Democratic
candidate's deel tr.ttion is that, "col
umn by column with the Independ
ents," he and his party are storming
the heights of Republicanism, for by
the title of bosses or 4"a combination
Whether u candidate for Congress
be a Stalwart or an Independent, if
a pronounced Republican, it docs
not matter. He may prefer Stewart
to Beaver, or contrariwise, and Re
publicans who use their common
sense will not make either preference
an issue at the polls. Republi
cans are sent to Congress to maintain
the policy of the party intact not
to adjudicate between contending
divisions in their own party. There
is something so childish and absurd
in this effort to carry local quarrels
into national matters that we have
scant patience to discuss it at all. It is
about as if a voter should call ujon
a candidate for Congress and ask
"Do you think well of Jones? Ij
dislike Jones, and I will not vote for
anybody who will not take my view
of Jones." About three-quarters ot
an indifferent man might go to a
candidate for Congress and threaten I
him with the loss of a vote on his j
refusal to adopt the demandant's
personal quarrels. Xo full-grown
man would do anything so puerile,
especially when like or dislike of
Jones was not an issue in Congress.
Republicans will act wisely if they
confine local quarrels to Pennsylva
nia and act as one upon national
questions. Sorth A mrrtcan.
Ciarilcltl Blaine Republican).
The friends of James G. Blaine, in
Pennsylvania, claim that they com
pose a large majority of the Repub
lican party of the State, and that if
the majority had been allowed to
have its way Pennsylvania would
have gonfe for Blaine as the Repub
lican nominee, at Chicago, in 18.S0.
Suppose that is true, for the sake of
the argument If the State did not
go for Blaine, at Chicago, it did go in
November, 1880, for Garfield, who
was Blaine's choice after himself.
Every sensible man in Pennsylvania
knows that the electoral vote of the
State would not have been cast for
Garfield, if the Stalwart Republicans
had not heartily supported him. In
fact, the Stalwarts, whether in the
majority or minority, in Pennsylva
nia, stood "the heat and burden" of
the fight in Pennsylvania in 1SS0.
General Beaver, although he did not
get his choice in the nomination for
President at Chicago, went into the
political fight as determinedly as if
he were supporting his first choice
for President No man in the State
did more effective work in favor of
Garfield's election than Gen. Beaver
did. Now what are the Garfield-
Blaine Republicans going to do for
Beaver? Are they going to stand by
and see Bea'ver struck down and a
Democrat elected in his place? Is
that the way the Garfield Blaine
Republicans are going to repay Gen
eral Beaver for his support of Gen
eral Garfield in ISM)? 'Do the Blaine
Republicans in Pennsylvania, who
expect at no distant day to see their
favorite a candidate for President,
intend to let General Beaver be de
feated this fall by their apathy, and
then expect the friends of General
Beaver to assist them in carrving the
Suite for Blaine in 1SS4 ? The Blaine
Republicans may just as well under
stand it now as later that they owe
an obligation to General heaver for
assisting them to elect General Gar
field President, and the- have an
opportunity now to acquit that obli
gation in aiding to elect General
Beaver Governor. If they do not do
it they certainly will not be in a
jMisition to ask the friends of General
Beaver to assist them hereafter.
That is the situation in a nut shell ;
and if the Blaire republicans do
not or will not appreciate it, that is
ami will be their fault. 1 f the Blaine
Republicans are in the majority in
this State, as they claim they are,
let them show it by keeping Penn
sylvania Republican this fali. A
Democratic victory in Pennsylvania
this fall more than likely means a
Democratic victory in 1884, and that
would not elect James G. Blaine
President of the United States, or
any other Republican. HurrUbura
