Cyrus I- Permiisc, Demo cratic candidate for Governor in 1ST"), is out for Beaver. Every vote cast for Stewart, is a vote irftlirectly in favor of I'attison, and of turning Pennsylvania over to the free trade Democracy. There are half a score of politick orphans running loose in this com munity who are direfully afraid of being "owned by Cameron." Won't some kind soul have guardians ap pointed to take care of them ? The legislature of Oregon last week elected James N. D.ilpli to the United States Senate, to succeed Senator Grover. Mr. Dolph is a sterling Republican,, and Grover a Democrat Tins is an important gain in a body so nearly a tie. The Independents of Huntingdon County have endorsed the nomina tion of Atkinson, the Regular Re publican candidate for Congress, in that district. This example is well worth imitation by the Independ ents of this county. Let every Republican remember that his vote on Tuesday next may save one or all the candidates of his party, and stand ready to go to the polls and cast that vote. One Con gressman in Ohio was elected last month by only eight of n majority. The Democratic papers that are exulting in advance over Patti son's election as Governor, were just as certain last year that Bailey could not be elected State Treasurer. The Democrats always were more victo rious before election than they are on election days. General Beaver is laboring hard er on the stump for Mariott Brosius, our candidate for Congressman-at-Large, than he is for himself. The General understands theimjortance of one vote in Congress, when our Protective Tariff interests are at stake. Hkssel, the Chairman of the Democratic State committee, said last week in his speech at Franklin that "one hundred thousand Inde pendents were marchingside by side with the Democrats to victory." In dependents, how do you like your company? The Democrats and Independents liave been freely boasting that Gov. Hoyt was in favor of the Independ ent State ticket and would write a letter endorsing it The Governor has given this report an unqualified denial, but we suppose it will still be circulated. While the Independents and Democrat of this State are assert ing that the tariff is not an issue in this campaign, the Arkansas State Gazette 6ays that, if the Democrats carry the next House they should elect for speaker a mar. who does not believe in "the multiplication of all our great interest. profits for the benefit of protected j Xotivithktanding Mr. Conley has interests." lie must be a Southern j wjthdrawn as a candidate for Sena-free-trader tor amj tj)e f;l0t weji known to Evkhv vote cast against Longen ecker. or Oolborn, or Morgan, is a vote in favor of placing Somerset County for ten years in Congressional and Senatorial districts where the TOioe of the Republican voters will! , , . . . otheredbv Democratic maior-1 he smothered it if 6.

His election is of the utmost import ance to the tariff interests of the State. One Republican Congress man may change the complexion of the next House. Every Republican in the county should turn out and vote for tieneral Campbell. Docbtless, the county will be flooded with mixed tickets, spurious ticket and fraudulent tickets, cal culated and intended to deceive. Lookout for them, friends, as you would for Dick Dockets. Do not let your votes be stolen from you. Ex amine your tickets before you vote them, and compare them with the ticket at the head of this page of the Herald. Our foes are desperate, unscrupulous and determined. Be ware of them ! That immaculate reformer, Chas. S. Wolfe, says : "No, we cannot elect Stewart, but we can elect Pattison," and that other pink of propriety and apostle of Independence, Gen eral William II. Koontz, admits that Stewart cannot be elected, but ar gues that "we had better live under a Democratic Government titan al low Beaver to l elected." Both these professed Republicans are la boring for the election of Pattison Wolfe, directly, Koontz, indirectly. The many Republicans in this County who accept James G. Blaine as their leader, wen' given pause for thought, when they found Senator Frye, of Maine Blaine's well-known and able first lieutenant on the stump in this SUue for (Jen. Beaver. We now invite their attention to a letter from their leader published ou another page of this paper ad vising all Republicans to stand by and elect, if possible, Republican candidates to Oongres., no odds what their local difn-rencts may be. i lit.

Keitm-Icanx! be of good cheer. The victory will be yours. For twenty-two years we have met and overcome worse foes than those we are now contending with. Rrag and bluster never did, and never will win. Remember how these same fellows bio wed last year about 1 mat ing General Railey, and called on him to resign to save himself from a crushing defeat We cleaned them out then, and we will do it now. Up anil at them. Mr. V. T. Ilensel, Chairman of the Democratic State Central Com mittee, is publishing through all the Democratic papers in the State, a number of rewards for the detection of persons violating the law against bribery and corruption at the com ing elections. This is the cry of "stop thief." raised by the pilferer who is fleeing with his stolen booty, for the purpose of distracting atten tion from himself. We advise all honest men to closely watch the Democrats who raise this cry. It is intended to divert attention from their own contemplated scoundrel- ism. It is every mans privilege to vote as he pleases and for w hat he deems his lest interests. If free-trade, the destruction of our present banking system, and a general overhauling of National a flairs are desirable then let the people vote the Democratic, or what will amount to the same thing, the Independent ticket. Rut to the thinking man, the-maxum of"Ix.t well enough alone," never stood out lioldcr or plainer before the country. Every Republican should inquireof himself, trhy should I vote against my old party? The loss of Pennsylvania, or the loss even of a single member of Congress, or of a State Senator, may imperil mercial, that paper still keeps up his name, hoping thereby, to take votes off of Captain Ixmgenecker, who has been endorsed by the joint confer- - , ...

President This is the feast you are j invited to by the Democrats and In- j deoendents. Stand together, bury your personal differences, and we will give our cmbined foes a crush - ing defeat on Tuesday next. We caution our Republican friends against all circulars, "last cards," or appeals to their passions, their prejudices, or their fears that may be issued or circulated during the remaining few days of the can vass. Remember the circulars with which this county was flooded two years since. It is invariably a sus picious circumstance that an appeal or an argument is held back to so late a day that it cannot be contra dicted, and it is a safe rule to reject them as lies, intended to deceive, and unworthy of belief. Therefore, pay no attention to them. The outcry against "bossism" and the attempt to destroy the Republi can party to kill off half a dozen or less politicians is mere baby talk and child's play. The teaching that the party must be disrupted and de stroyed for the purKee of getting rid of a lew unpopular or grasping leaders, is simply absurd. The talk about reorganizing a party after it has been torn and scattered, and making it effective for its grand work at the next Presidential elec tion, would be like gathering a flee ing army and turning it against a victorious legion massed and mar shalled in hot oursuit. . The few days remaining between this and the election should be de voted to unceasing work for the en tire Republican ticket. Ever' man j has his influence and should exert ! that if there had been no machine, mvi, inrttri n.iuui A Kooni there never would have been any oontz," or "Pro- j ..wvi.iA. i niiLirn- j All tiie political .standing that Mr. Koontz ever hatl in this county, he got solely through the ni.ichme. it, ,,e ll:s succeeded through machine niethods aloire, and for many ve.rs ' . . he ran the machine for us own hmi- efit. Of course, he has a right to re pent and reform, but it is such poli ticians as he, who have run the ma chine for their own selfish ends that have made it obnoxious. William H. Koontz leading an assault against bossism, is as amusing a perform ance as any ever given by a painted clown in a circus. We caution our friends to beware of "last cards," roorbacks and cam paign lies, held back until a day or two before the election. Particularly beware of last day stories, that may be published in the Meyersdale Coimnercud. Remember that paper is in league with the Democrats to defeat the Republican ticket, that it professed l;st year to be for Cessna for Judge, and that its editor shame fully betrayed, and openly opposed him on election day. Also, that af ter he had fully ascertained that Judce Hall had withdrawn from the canvass, he persistently urged the jwople to vote for him, jn-t Sis he is now doing with Captain Conley af ter he has withdrawn as a candidate. Listen to no plausible stories, but vote straight for that good soldier and tried man, Captain Jacob H Longenecker, the Republican candij date, in whose favor his friend Cap tain Conley withdrew from the can vass. The assertion of the Democrats and Independents that all parties in Pennsylvania are in favor of a Pro tective Tariff, is a simre and a delu sion, and their purosrt is to mislead the H-ople. A Democratic Gni;ressinan is' , If,., r,l I.,.. ........ . I iuiin uf uiu in: tiuii c.iueus and abide by its decision. No man ever knew a Democratic member re fuse to do so. When General Cof froth was elected to the XLVlth Congress, he claimed then, as he does now, to I in favor of a Pro- tective Tariff. Yet he went into the caucus and afterwards voted for Samuel J. Randall, its nominee for Speaker, who formed the Committee of Ways and Means, in the interests of free trade, and made Fernando Wood, of New York, the most bla tant tree trader in the rmon. its chairman. So will he do again, if elected. Imagine, if you can. Gen. Coflroth refusing to go" into a craticcaucun, or declining to. vote for the caucus nominee for Speaker ! ! If he did that he would lie like Rudy Keely'g goose, "in a drove by himself."

As the day of election approaches, voters who were doubting, are daily ' settling down to their old places in the Republican ranks. The Stewart , movement is steadily declining, not- withstanding the frantic efforts of a few men who have staked their all on its success, to keep it going. It is declining and will decline until the polls are closed. Beaver will be ' elected, if Republicans only do their dutv. There is but one thing for Re publicans to do to make success certain. . Tliey viust get out the vote. From this until the day of election their best energies should be exerted to this point With a full Republi can vote there is no doubt of Bearer's weees, and with his success, that of ourcandidates for Congress, Senator, and t members of the Legislature. This is well worth working for, friends ! a full vote for Beaver and the ticket, and all will be well. Wk understand that Mr. Reynolds the Democratic candidate for Sena tor, is attempting to curry favor with the Republicans of this county by having circulated a speech purport ing to have been made by him, prais ing General Garfield after his death. Mr. Reynolds is a bitter, uncompro mising, unforgiving Democrat, and praise of the ciead Garfield from his lips, is a direct insult to every Re publicao who reveres the memory of that great man. During the cam paign in which Garfield was a Pres idential candidate, Reynolds was ed itor of the Bedford Gazette, and its columns teemed with vilification of the character of that brave and pure man. He was also chairman of the Democratic County Committee, and procured to be circulated the "Cred it Mobilier," the "DeGolyer" and other base and slanderous charges against him. These facts prove that, Mr. Reynolds played the part of an unscrupulous political knave then, or that he is acting as un arrant hyp ocrite now. If Garfield was not the scoundrel lie charged, then he was a knave to make the assertion, and if he was the villain he claimed, then lie is a vile hypocrite when profess ing to revere his memory now. Mr. Reynolds can take which horn of this dilemma he pleases, either one convicts him of being politically dis honest, untrusl worthy, and utterly unfitted t. repre.-ent an honest and I com moo-sense people in the gtate senate. benefit of Mr. Reynolds, the Somer set Democrat of last week, charges that corrupt means were used to briii": about Conley's withdrawal as a candidate.' This attempt to ma lign the character , of so srallant a Soldier and respectable a gentleman as Captain Conley, will not only in cite the indignation of his friends but will doubtless induce them to resent the insult at the polls. The poor, spiritless, truckling Meyersdale Commercial, had neither the independence to resent this gross insult to its candidate, nor the man hood to denounce it, but in its last issue, remains utterly silent. It is tied hand and foot by its bargain with the Democrats, and dare not defend the character of the candidate whose name is borne on the ticket at the head of its columns. It is well known that we were op posed to the candidacy of Captain Conley, as an Independent, and had he remained in the field, we would have used all honorable means to have insured his defeat, but we can not refrain from expressingour indig nation at the base attempt of these two journals to assassinate the char acter of a gallant soldier and an hon orable gentleman. Tiie Meyersdale " Commercial " of last week aiieges that General Koontz said in a speech at Confluence "that he was not a candidate for that (Congressman at-Large) or any oth er position," and therefore that sweet-scented sheet proceeds to de- no"nce the e(,it.or oftl,e ,Ierai'd a nar, etc. n e have no space to waste in reply to the "Commercial V foul tirade, but we proceed to con vict it and it little idol of falsehood from its own columns. In its issue of March 17th, the "Commercial" said editorially : "The mention of the name of Osner.tl W. H.

Capt j Conley bus withdrawn as a candi- dale, and is earnestly urging the election of Mr. Longenecker, who is the only Republican candidate in the field. Conley 'a name is kept before the voters against his protest, merely to carry out the bargain and sale lietween Coffroth and the Inde pendent leaders, that candidates for Congress and Senator should be run for the advantage of himself and Reynolds, in return for Democratic support of the Independent Legisla tive ticket Voters I don't be deceiv ed. Don't allow your votes to be sold to carry out this unholy bar gain. Jacob H. Lonjjeneeker is the 0nly Republican candidate for Sen ator now in the field, and he is re ceiving the support of all the honest Independent and Regular Republi cans. Remember, how last year. the editor of the Meyersdale Conir- mercial insisted that Judge Hall was 'gain to trade off his political follow a candidate, after he had withdrawn I ers to the Independents, for votes from the canvass. This is the same for himself, professing horror at the old scoundrelly trick Don't be de ceived, but vote for Longenecker! The Republicans of this district have nominated Hon. Jacob II. longenecker, of Bedford county, for State Senator.

Dear Sjr: Your communication of this date, received. In reference to the statement contained in the Meyersdale Commercial, in announc ing Dr. H. C. McKinley as the Inde pendent Republican candidate for Congress, that he was so announced "by direction of the conferees 01 Blair, Bedford and Somerset coun ties," and asking me what action, if any, had been taken bv the confer ees of Blair county, in said mutter. i our inquiry deserves recognition and in reply I would say that, neith er James V . Eindley, Esq., whom I have just seen, or myself, have any knowledge of anv authority or di rection having been sent from this cour.ty for that purpose. The oth er remaining conferee, is Col. Pi (ht, of Gaysport. I have not seen hi in. and therefore, cannot answer for him. I do not presume to say that Dr. MeKinley's nomination was without authority, but. so far as we can learn here, no new conferees were elected, and the old took no action in the premises. A letter addressed to Col. Piper, may give you mere in formation upon this subject, but I am inclined to think that, the Col., like Mr. Findleyaiul myself, consid ered his authority to act, was ended when our last vttiirts toward a joint conference of tlie Regular and Inde pendent conferees proved a failure.
