Stick to your ranks, Republicans, and we will, as we have done for the last twenty year?, snow the Demo crats and their allies deeper under than ever. Ohio shows that fighting any por tion of the ticket hurts it all. This is aftersight and it is far more relia ble than ordinary foresight, as de veloped in many sections. Trie Republicans having noticed the fact that Stewart dots not claim that he will be elected, have deter mined not to help him elect a Dem ocrat, and will therefore vote for Beaver. Why is it that the Independent 6houters in this town can always be found in close consultation with the Democratic leaders? Does it not prove the sympathy and coalition betwen them ? From every district in this County we hear of numbers of Republicans who had been deceived as to the true issues in this campaign, that are topping into the old ranks to prevent a Democratic victory. Every Republican who does not want to give this State to the Dem ocrats, simply to spite Don Cameron, and please euch bolters as Koontz, will vote for General Beaver and the entire Republican ticket Either Beaver or Pattison will be elected Governor of Pennsylvania on the 7th of November. There is no dodging that fact In this fight Republicans must be for the party or against it Whom will you sup port? The prospect of a large labor vote for Armstrong for Governor, has throwa the Democratic leaders into a panic. The Democrats who were howling for Stewart are now devot ing their time to rallying every vote they can for Pattison. This is no time for Republicans to waver or falter. The gallant Beaver leads the column. Close up the ranks ! Forward to victory ! Let old scores be settled, and old sorei be healed after we have won the fight The Democrats want to defeat the Republican party, and the' are try ing to get the Independents to do it. All who desire a continuance of good government and the present good times should vote the whole Republican ticket. The Pittsburgh Pt charges that General Beaver was a Know-Nothing. The Know-Nothing party had an existence cf one year in 1S54 and at that time General Beaver wag just sixteen years of age. The magnitude of the lie can be seen at a glance. The Talue of a few votes is well il-! lustrated in the late Ohio election. I Three districts are saved to the Re- j publicans by lees than one hundred I Yote,and Neal (Democrat) was elect-; d by just three votes. Republicans ! do you see the point ?

Keep this in your mind and don't you forget it. Republican Protec tion means plenty of work, with good wages, and empty poor houses.

This leaves the contest n0w traversing the county address between Coffrothand Campbell. Dr. i injr little knots of a dozen to twenty Hall's letter of declination will le found on another page of this paper. The Republican meetings held throughout the county last week were better attended, and more in- terest manifested by the people, j than has been the case for a number of years.

The Democratic press is hurrah ing lustily over the Ohio election as having already won them the fight for President in 1SS4. If the Re publicans of this State do their whole duty on the 7th of Novemlter next, Godfrey's soothing cordial will j be in great demand, to cure pains ! caused by wind on the stomach of 'sick Democrats. Beaver's manly canvass is win ning him friends wherever he goes, and hundreds of misled Republi cans in all parts of the State are daily returning to the ranks of the old party. The fate of our brethren in Ohio has taught the Republicans if i Lie Sit tttfi I Kfi lmiuitn t li .1 t a lishtt.;. ! ..... ...... .... w.uv, m "wu. divided against itself cannot gtand. Ik General William H. Koontz had been placed on the Republican State ticket as a candidate for Con gressman at Large, a9 he hoped to be, do you think that he would now be howling and kicking at, and de nouncing that ticket? No, no, the "gallant General" would be on the stump, crying "stick to the ticket" with all his old time fervor for regu lar nominations. While the Democrats are crowing over their victory in Ohio, that re sult is helping the Republicans in this State. Thousands of earnest Republicans who had strayed from the fold because dissatisfied with the management of the party, have be come alarmed at the prospect of Democratic success, and indignant at the Democratic yells of victory, and will vote for the gallant Beaver and the whole State ticket When the town of Somerset was devastated by fire in May, 1S72, Don Cameron sent his check for a thou sand dollars to the editor of this pa lT to l distributed among needy sufferers. Some of the men who were saved from want by his timely gift are now denouncing him as a monster of dishonesty ! ! A decent self-respect should at least seal the mouths of those who partook of his bounty. Traders, and the man who votes any but the regular , Republican ticket will share the responsibility of that crime. Ohio's loss of 6even Con- gresmen was all due to striking the State ticket on a local issue, but it carried all National objects down with it, a fact which ought to have been plain before the election. i The result of this cH.npaign will i be the turning point in the Jregi- e lenti:il camtwieii in 1SS4, If we . . . 1oh the Governor and uoncres in November, you may rest ussured that Ptnrisylvania will re lost in 1884. This election is the key to the Pres idential election, and our apathy and defection now, will not prove a healthy experiment Let our friends turn out to a man in November, uo me uusineos interests 01 me State require a change, or would business men be benefitted by giv inir the administration of affairs to the Democrats? If not, vote forigress by the Free-Traders in the General Beaver. Laboring men do you desire a change, or do you believe a change ployment and better wages? If not, vote for General Beaver. The New York free trade journals conspicuously the Herald, Times and Ecening Post, are frantically in favor of the utter rout and defeat of the Republican party in Pennsylvania. There is not a doubt but their zeal in this matter is owing to their be lief that in this way they can get in an entering wedge for the destruc tion of a protective tariff. The American free traders and their British bosses will hold high carni val should the ticket headed by Beaver be defeated. No candid man believes that a ! protective tariff would be upheld for voters, a majority of whom are Democrats. '"Alas! how are the miu'htv fallen." Why is it that the Democrats are holding no meetings in this count'? f8 it not because the Independents are doing their work? Where can you find an Independent paper that has a word to say against the elec tion of the Democratic candidates, or where a Democrat who is not pat- ting the Independents on the back a common soldier in aiding to put down the Rebellion and received an honorable discharge. Not one of the candidates on the Democratic ticket either enlisted or served in the army during the rebellion. They were all "peace at any price Democrats." Out of consideration to the feel- j ings of its "Independent" allies, the Democrat of last week did not bring out its rooster to crow over the vic tory in Ohio. This is "scientific politics," but just wait and see what a display of roosters there will be if the Democrats and the Independ ents succeed in defeating General Beaver. The Somerset Democrat last week blossomed out into a full blown In dependent organ. Any Republican who can procureand examine a copy of it will be satisfied of the bargain and sale between the Democrats and Independents of this county. It beats the Meyersdale Commercial all hollow in its unscrupulous as sertions, and its style of advocating the "hst cause." Editor Smith will liave to look to his laurels. Takt the "Independent" move ment is engineered for the purjose, not of electing Stewart, but of throw ing the State into the hands of the Democrats is now proven by the ad mission of their great leader Charles S. Wolfe. Three respectable farm ers of h'"s own county (Union) assert and will swear to the fact that, on 6aying to him they did not see any use in voting for Stewart because he could not be elected, he replied : M Well, I know ice cunt elect Stewart, but we can elect PattUan, and that is the only way we can get rid of the bosses." The Republicans have thus far made heavy gains in Maine, Oregon and West Virginia, while they have lost in Ohio, through a prohibitory issue. Thus far thirty-two Congress men have Wen elected sixteen of them Republicans and sixteen Dem ocrats. This is a gain of five Con gressmen, all from Ohio, and it leaves but two Republican majority in the House. Pennsylvania has seven close districts, and if the Re publicans do not turu out they may all be lost; if there is a full turnout, two Republican Congressmen will be gained. A Democratic editor of a South Carolina paper writing to a friend in Massachusetts says : "Ere this you have heard of the Lancaster massa cre. Cash was there and spoke ; the intolerant spirit was aroused, the re sult of which was four colored men killed and eighteen or twentv wound ed. The only fair way to jet an j honest expression of opinion at the; next election ia for United States troops to hold the elections all over the State. It cannot be done other wise, as the leaders of the Demo cratic party say they are determined to carry the election at any cost" . . 1 . amwox like, the indepeimenw i j -1 il are pumng me lemjue uowu uuu. u. . . .. . ir .i..i... .t,..nUL.r,,i Utlni Frnm Pattison to their own ears, II ut.it.ai snouiu it- 1 .u.... .;n come in uvrmwr, v.... held responsible for the disaster, not only at home but throughout the country. The cause of Blaine would suffer as much as that of Arthur or of Cameron, and all would go down in one general wreck, with the banner of Democracy waving over both Republicans and Inde" pendents. Mr. Frank Hurd is to be pushed for the Speakership of the next Con- Democratic party. His canvass has been begun already. The Toledo Journal nominates him lor the place and says: "He is the exponent of aggressive Democracy and the lead ing exponent of the distinctive char acteristic of the party, Free-Trade. Let Sam Randall and his protective heresies step aside and let the fresh blood and brains of the party asein bodied in Mr. Hurd have a chance." The true friends of our late Presi dent are justly indignant at the bolt ers in New York and elsewhere for calling themselves "Garfield Repub licans." The Warren Tribune, the leading Republican journal of the Garfield district, indignantly brands it as a case of stealing the livery of Heaven to serve the Devil in. "(gen eral Garfield," it says, "was always true to his party. He would have scorned to do aught to injure his own party or aid the enemy. He never bolted, never sulked in his tent. He was simply a Republican everywhere and all the time." The next Legislature will make an apportionment of the State into Legislative, Senatorial, Congressional and Judicial Districts, which will continue until after the next census. Does any Republican wisli the Dem ocrats to form these districts ? They can so gerrymander the Slate as to imperil Republican ascendency in two succeeding Legislatures which will elect U. S. Senators and enable' them also to secure a majority of the Congressmen. Is any Republican prepared for this ? If not, vote solid for Campbell, Longenecker, Colborn and Morgan. The withdrawal of Captain Con ley, the Independent candidate for Senator, leaves a clear field for Hon. Jacob H. Longenecker, and insures his election over Mr. Reynolds, the Democratic candidate. Mr. Longen ecker is a Republican who has held aloof from the strife of discordant ele ments now endangering the success of the party, and is therefore an ac ceptable candidate to all the Repub licans of Bedfed and Fulton coun ties, and we be.ieve that, with very few exceptions, he will be heartily supported in this County. He is certainly as admirable a candidate as could have been selected, and we solicit for him the vote of every man in this county who is anxious to have the district represented in the Senate by a tried and true Republi can. Jcdgk Folger, Secretary of the Treasury, in a letter to a Republi can meeting held at Albany, New York, on Thursday List, says : "The "claim after the Ohio election that "the next House of Representatives "will be Democratic, has caused a "shrinkage of forty millions of dol lars in value of the great prosperi ties of the country, and that the "shrinkage has been going on since. "He asks if the business interests of "the country look with dread to a "return of the Democratic party to "power, and if it is a well-founded "dread, whether the election of the "Democratic ticket in New York will 'increase it. These he says are "questions for hesitating Republi cans to ponder oyer." And we ask all intelligent men in Pennsylvania to think well before they cast their votes in a direction that will lend the influence of this State to the re turn of the Democrats to power in Congress. Cax the Republicans of Pennsyl vania afford to give the state admin istration to democratic spoilsmen and enthrone them in power for years to come ? Nothing is clearer than the simple fact that either Bea ver or Pattison must be elected Gov ernor. Whatever vote Mr. Stewart may poll, be it large or small, there is no pretence that he can by any possibility be elected. Every vote cast for him only endangers Repub lican supremacy and makes Demo cratic domination possible. Inde pendent Republicans should think well and hesitite a long time before thus allowing themselves to became assistant Democrats. All true Re publicans should stand by their guns. Fight the battle of reform inside your own lines, but present an unbroken front to the enemy. By doing so you will wiu a double victory prevent a democratic tri umph and enthrone Reform in Re publican policy. Why should not Republicans vote for General Beaver? Why should any Republican refuse to vote for the ticket which he honors by his leadership? From General Beaver to Brosius every candinate on that ticket served his country as a sold ier in a time of great trial. . Every man on that ticket bears a good re pute among men for honesty and capability. If these be good men and it has not been denied by any body and if good government can come only by prefering good men, then no Republican can iustifv him- self in voting directly or indirectiy for Pattison. Why should any Republican vote for Pattison ? What influence and what policy do he and the men on the ticket with him represent? His i . 1 I TL ! 1 .- .1 -1 V !

None of them served in the Union army. At least three of them were in sympathy with the rebels rather than with the Federal government Some of them made speeches during the war in which sneers at the government were intro duced n sauce. To cause such men to be preferred before men of un questioned patriotism and honor will, if consummated, le regarded as a crime in a time to come. But this disgrace must not be consummated. The Republicans of Pennsylvania can prevent it, and unless lost to all sense of honor will prevent it We hardly deem it necessary to urge at length upon Republicans the duty of giving our District and County tickets a united and ener getic supjKirt The Independent candidates for Congress and Senator having withdrawn, there is now uo reason why all Republicans should not unite in supporting General Campbell for Congress, and Mr. Longenecker for the Senate. Both are good and tried men, and both have stood aloof from the factional troubles that now disturb the unity of the party. Will any man that knows them say that Colborn and Morgan are not the equals, if not the superiors of Seibert aud Sorber, and if elected will not honestly and faith fully discharge the duties of their offices? Why, then, should these gentlemen, who were regularly nom inated according to the usages of the party, be set aside for two kickers for whom three hundred men in the county did not vote at their bogus delegate election? There is no safe ty, friends, but by supporting the entire regularly nominated ticket, and we can assure you that it is go ing to be triumphantly elected. There remain now but two weeks in which the work of the campaign can be carried on. It is very neces sary that Republicans all over the country arouse themselves to the importance of the present contest and the necessity of leaving nothing undone that will contribute to our parly's success. The election this fall cannot be robbed of its political importance by any specious pleas for "reform" or impassioned appeals against "bossism" and the "ma chine." The evils complained of, if they exist in the measure and with the effect charged, can be success fully remedied within the party itself. Reform within the party will effect a cure ; reform outside of the party can only kill. The issue now presented to the Republicans of Pennsylvania is this: Shall Beaver be elected Governor, or shall the Republican party be defeated and Pennsylvania given to the control of the Democracy ? It is not a ques tion of reform. It is a question of life or death for the Republican party of Pennsylvania and the con tinued supremacy of that party in the Nation. Stewart has been charging in his speeches that Beaver lietrayed Pennsylvania by voting for General Grant at Chicago, when a majority of the Republicans were for Blaine. Yet, in 1870, Stew art, who was a delegate to the Cin cinnati convention, voted steadily for Ilartranft, when the Republicans of Pennsylvania were as earnestly for Blaine as they were in 1880. Hon. Thad. Mahon, a resident of Stewart's own town, (Chambersburg) thus put it in a speech a few days since : Who did Mr. Stewart vote for at the National Con v? lion, ot which he was the delegate from this dis trict, at Cincinnati? Instead of vot ing for Blaine, as his constituents wanted him to do, he stuck to the "bosses" and voted for Ilartranft to satisfy them. On the second ballot four of the Pennsylvania delegation broke loose from the unit rule and voted tor Blaine. The chairman de cided they had a perfect right to do it, and they did for every ballot af ter. But Mr. Stewart was not one of them. He remained with the "bosses" and allowed them to cast his vote for Ilartranft when he knew he was doing directly opposite what his constituents wanted him to do. On the last ballot the entire Penn sylvania delegation voted for Blaine, but it was too late, and Hayes was nominated. Mr. Mahon said, let Mr. Stewart deny this and he would prove it to him, but he thought there was no danger of the would-be Gov ernor doing a. ly thing of the kind. At the time of tht Cincinnati Con vention Mr. Stewart's political am bition had not been nipped in the bud and personal spite had not won the victory over principle. Since that time Mr. Stewart has changed some of his views. But he should not blame the inno :eut with an of fense of which he has been guilty. His Independent candidacy is the most pretentious political fraud of the day. Whes you hear of any Republi can that is talking about voting against any portion of our Legisla tive ticcket, draw bis attention to the following: facto: The next Leg islature will redistrict the State and form new Legislative and Congres sional district. A Democratic ma jority in the next Legislature will have it in its power to so construct thoe districts that it will be almost an impossibility for the Republicans to return a majority to subsequent Legislatures, or ekct their due amount of members to the Lower House of Congress, for a period of ten years. A Democratic majority in our Legislature for the next eight years, also means two Democratic United States Senators from Penn sylvania. The Upper House of Con gress is now very close, and prom ises to continue so for several years. Two Democratic Senators from Pennsylvania may place the Free Traders in the majority and rain , !!... rxf , .1, e AAlintrV f Kfll At m , , t"7fff..r ru.itil mum 11 tvrfitpi't I r IHritl tor - - . - ! exiwterii-1.

King caucus will rule the party and the Free Traders will rule the caucus, and a the loss of one Republican member of the Legislature may put the Democrats in power and the leg islation of the country in their hands, it would be a great political blunder for us to lose a single one it is HssibIe to elect frVarful Affray. j the county of Somenet, have Issued their precept Kvorviiir TV-nri Dot 19 At "W1 ,u m directed, lor holdliiK a Court of Cotn M.T IF.LE, 1 enn., UCU Al i moa pin and 0eDeni, quarter Se.i.i of the half-past ten 0 clock this morning a j Peace, and Oeneral Jail Delivery, and Courts ol shooting affray took place in this j iT-tSw.

The police authorities of this city believe that they have made an arrest that will lead to the breaking up of a desper ate gang ot horse thieves who have long operated in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey and Delaware. Last Saturday morning Detective Acton took into custody Milton Mundy, on a warrant sworn out before Lnited States Commis sioner C. S. Bundy by Mr. Cyrus A. Colvin, of Lancaster, Pa., charg ing Munday with receiving and dis- Eoing ot his horse, wagon and arness, valued at $300. in the vil lage of Rockville, Md. The prison er was taken to police headquarters, where he has since been confined awaiting a hearing. In this partic ular case Mr. Lolviu missed his horse and wagon on the morning of the 20th of September and traced the property to Rockville, where he found it had been sold by Mundvto a party in that village. He procur ed a writ of replevin and recovered his horse, wagon and harness and traced the men to this city, where he was found as stated living with a new wife. He had married less than two weeks since near Rockville. A SS1GNEES ACCOUNTS. Th following acroont ha been Bled ami "III be preaenlwl fur eunnrmaiiua on Tkere. aetve-iafcr IS.
