Chairman Pile isin receipt of a letter from
the secretary of the Reavt-r Club of Johns
town stating that at their last meeting they
uuaiiimouslv resolved to attend the grand
Republican rally at S merset on Sat unlay
evening. Their club numbers from three to
lour hundred, and they will be hereto a
nun. The hotel keepers have agreed to fur
nish this delegation as well as all others with
accommodation at reduced rates.
The Republican meeting held at Stoys
tow 11 last Wednesday afternoon, was one of
the most successful that bus been held dur
ing the present campaign. Cover's large
hail was comfortably tilled with earnest,
honest, intelligent voters, eager and anxious
to hear the issues of tiie campaign fairly
discussed. Captain Adam (irimni, one of the
111. t highly esteemed citizens ot the town,
was unanimously chosen lo act as President
of the meeting, with Wm. Miller, Esq., Ja
cob Zim merman, Joseph Render, Noah ltie
secker and J. H. Zimmerman as Vice Pres
idents, ami ('apt. Wm. Usurer and Wendell
Winters as Secretaries. The Ijunbcrtsville
hand arrived in a wagon drawn by sixteen
bor-es and played their sweetest music at
the opening and cloning of the meeting and
at the end of each eech. The seeches
were made by John If. Jordan and S. V.
Trent, Esqs. The crowd was very enthusias
tic and applauded every good point made by
the seakcrs in a most hearty manner. The
audience was composed of representative
men of Stoy-town borough and Quemahon
ing township, and if they don't give a good
account of themselves next Tuesday we miss
our guess largely.
The following short sketch ot the Hon.
J. II. Lougeiiecker. Republican candidate
for State Senator, from the pen of one of
his fellow cili.clls. is taken from the Bed
ford luiuirrr:
Messrs. Eiutors. I have been looking
over the history of the lU!.-t regiment of
Pennsylvania volunteers as given by Rates
in the .'lit volume of his valuable work. It
is at all times an interesting history, but is
is particularly so just at this time, as the
aisive named gentleman, who was the adju
tant of the regiment, is the candidate of the
Republican arty for the Senate. In look
ing over the history I learn that Company
I) of that regiment was recruited entirely
from Itedford county that Capt. Longe
necker went out as a private in that com
pany that he was soon promoted to the of
fice of Sergeant Major, and on the first of
Mav, l.s;3, to a 2d Lieutenancy, and on the
-tltli of July, istk'l, to Adjutant of the regi
ment. On the iSlth of April, 14, he with
the rest of the regiment was taken prisoner
and was sent south t a retiel prison, ii
which he had to remain until an exchange
was made on the 12th of March, lsisV.
A man who loves his country always
reads with pleasure and interest that part
of its history which records the heroic deeds
of the brave men who fought to gain and
preserve the liberties of the people. How
our hearts are filled with patriotic joy when
we read what our fathers did in the days of
the revolution against the armies of King
George. They fought ard conquered those
armies and gained for us our liberties, but
all that they gained would have been lost
if the rebellion had not been put down by
the gallant soldiers who went forth to save
our goyerment from destruction, enduring
all the privations of a soldier's life, baring
their breasts to rebel bullets, and, worse
t
ban all, undergoing the horrors of the rebel
prisons. I wish that you Could publish the
whole of Rates' history of the 101st regi
ment and let the people know what the of
ficers and men of that regiment did for
their country. Redford county may well be
proud of those of her citizens who were in
companies P and i. There was no more
gallant regiment in the Union armies. In
the battle of Fair Oaks, which was a des
perate struggle, every third man in the reg
iment was either killed or wounded, and in
all the subsequent engagements every tuan
and ofiicer did bis duty. Of those who
composed the regiment when it left Hurris
burg on the 27th of February, but few
ever returned to their homes. Reliel bullets,
the malaria of the Virginia and North Car
olina swamp" and rebel prisons sent most of
them to th.-ir graves. How glad we should
lie to have an opjiortnnity to reward those
w hose lives were spared and show our grate
ful appreciation of the great services they
rendered to our country. No man of all
the host that went forth to battle for free
government did his duty more courageously
and faithfully than the man whose mime
stands at the head of this article. Capt.
Longcnceker in ca-np or upon the field of
lmttle prova l himself a true and noble sol
dier and patriot, and in .the halls of ou
Legislature was known as an honest man.
He deserves to be elected to the Senate by
an overw helming majority.

Reply to thk IsmcrENtiEXT Ppv.
Eihtob IUralii: The old adage that if
you " tramp on a dog's tail he will yell,"
was verified by the yelling of the "Inde
pendent Spy" in the Meyersdale Commacial
of last week. This Independent guerrilla
was the only one of the guerrillas present at
the Regular Republican meeting at the
Weller school bause. Dr. Fichtner ex
plained the nefarious schemes of the Jnde
jiendent squad, and hearing the applause
that came from all parts the spv became
very indignant. He bad not been cheered
when he did the braying of an ass at the
Indeiwndent side show held at the same
school house some days before, and conse
quently was wrothy. At the Regular Re
publican meeting there was but one Demo
crat and one Independent (the spy himself)
present. It is then-fore a lie that there was
any itsoii chosen as an officer of that meet
ing other than good, honest Republican.
Even- person present knows that this was
the ltt jKilitical meeting ever held at the
Weller school house. Dr. Fichtner, the first
sjeaker, was followed by Ed. iScull, Sr., S-

O'Connor's Goose Plucked.
UHL'S "LETTER.
When we last week pronounced as a lie
and a fraud the card published in the V
crat over the signature of James O'Connor
we gave our reasons for so doing; subse
quent developments fully justify the posi
tion we then took and prove it tobei-ormrt.
We have betore us a letter from Mr. O'Con
nor dated on the 24th, the day the Vrmucrtit
was published and ot-markeil the2-V.h,the
day afltr it was published, in which he
says that the Dtuwcrat suppressed his card
announcing bis candidacy and gives bis rea
sons for writing the following card :
f'rlJow Citizen of Somerset County.
1 am no longer a candidate for the Legis
lature. With my best wishes for the success
of the best men ard measures, I am respect
fully yours, James O'Cox.ior.
tk-tober 24, lsS2.
In connection with the above facts com
pare this card with the one published in the
Democrat, and our readers will have no
trouble in discerning the fine Roman hand
of the " Scientific " in the fraudulent card.
From the tenor of Mr. O'Connor's letter to
us, it is evident that he feels very sore over
the manner in which he has been bulldozed
and the treatment he has received at the
bands of the Democrat in refusing to adver
tise his card, for which he proposed to jiay,
and afterwards laying before its readers a
bogus card announcing his withdrawal.
This whole affair is one of the many ways
by which the " Scientific" is trying to trick
his way into Congress by cheating voters
out of their ballots. It was made necessary,
however, by kiscuutract with the Indejiend
eut leaders to keep any and all opiaisitiou
to their legislative ticket out of the field.
To accomplish this end he has entangled
himself in a mesh of frauds that will cling
to him and all parties com niected w ith him,
for all time to come.
I'HL'S letter.
Although many moons have come and
gone since the "Scientific" held his county
convention which he tricked into confirming
the "Bargain of the Rosses,' his paper, the
Ihrniierat, has ne ver found time to publish
the open, manly letter of John II. l'hl Esq.,
in which he withdrew from before the con
vention as a candidate. For fear the Irmn
rrnt has forgotten the contents of the letter,
as it was only read twice in the convention
and as it's uncle or brother-in-law hits had
the original ubout their clothes ever since,
we again kindly publish it as given to us by
those who bean! it read :
To titr Member of the Itcnivcriittv Convetitum ;
Grntlemk.n. 1 hereby witliilraw my name
as a eaniliilale tor Siute Sc-nator from this
convention, forthe reason that its members
are not free to act in the mutter. The as
suming boss, although having for years
back promised me his most earnest supKirt,
has for selfish reasons found it convenient
to betray me. The slate was matlu out by
him weeks beforehand, and you are here
simply to obey (lis behests. As a believer
in tine Democracy, 1 was willing to submit
my claims to the free and unbiased will of
the pe'ople, but when I discuver that, by the
artful trickery and skillful manipulations of
the boss, the puis have been set up for my
opHncnt in Uie lace of his and the Bosses
repeated pledges to me mat he would not be
a candidate at this true and that 1 should
have their united supjiort, 1 most emphatic
ally decline to have my candidacy made a
farce of before 'the distracted cohorts of
machinations." Thanking those of your
numlM-r who have acted honestly and in
good faith toward me and have not submit
ted to boss domination, I remain yery re
spectfully, etc.
What do the eighty odd of Somerset's
mostworthy and respected citizens whs
attended the Republican meeting at Meyers
dale think of the following, taken from the
pa x-r published in that village :
Thecec excursion train from Somerset to
the Stalwart meeting at this place lust Friday
evening consisted of ninety-five souls, by
actual count. Of these about twenty-five
were honest, resectable citizens who came
to the meeting lor honest purposes; about
twenty were government officials, their rela

than fifteen were Democrats, who came out
of sympathy for the falling cause, or on bus
iness; a few were lndceii(lent Republicans
or guerrillas, as Mr.Colborn calls them, who
came on special invitations; the residue was
a howling rabble of boys, corner loafers
and old whiskey -soaks with the foul breath
of the grog-shois fresh on their clothes,
lured hither by free ride and free whiskey.
The agent at the Somerset station inform
ed us the evening of the excursion that he
had sold 87 tickets. Among the purchasers
of tickets were ministers of the gospel, bus
iness men, merchants, mechanics and hon
est laboring men, almost all of whom
bought their own tickets and paid for them.
There was not one "dead-head" on the
train, ev-y passenger holding a ticket paid
for by himself or some jersonal friend.
When the train reached Meyersdale there
were from 125 to lot) Republican voters on
board. These are the facts and there's
where it hurts.
We have been waited upon by a 'arge
number of our fellow citizens, irrespective
of party, and asked for the fair naiiie of
our good old town and county to publish
the real facts in the case. Their scorn und
contampt for those who would thus basely
slander their neighbors and fellow citizens
cannot find expression in words.

' Mr. Editor : Mr. W. S. Morgan, who has
always been considered one of our best
farmers, bus of late been paying bis atten
tion to improving his stock, having recent
ly added to his herd of Alderny cattleavery
fine registered bull, from the herd of John
Hunter Esq., of Philadelphia. Forthedam
of this young bull Mr. Hunter paid $4Xi in
Kniiland. and his sire was imported at a cost
of$."00. We think no finer stock than this
has yet been brought to this county.
The dwelling house of Fred Gonder, one
half mile north of tow n is la-ing finUhed,
and bids fair to be the finest country resi

Our school is making giant strides toward
perfection, under the supervision of Miss

The grist mill just south of town is being
rebuilt. George Ludy, the owner, expects to
have it running in two weeks.
Henry Sipe is having the frames for his
new mill put in position, and expects to
have it running during the week. This is
the mill that was destroyed bv fire ten days

En. Herald. A sad accident has happen
ed to the Independent Jiarty; they were go
ing to bold a political meeting at Rakers
ville on Tuesday, October l'tb. at 2 p. iu.,
and it hapened to die in their hands betore
they gut through with it. Gen. Koontx
preached the funeral sermon. His text was
the same old one that your readers all so
well know. The funeral was a small affair.
There were about one dozen of mourners to
be seen on the ground, eight of whom were
Democrats and four Indetiendcnts. Mr.
Koontx tried to (lersuade some of our Stal
warts to come in and hear him, and one of
them went in and cornered him up several
times. This was but a small stroke on the
half breeds. Wait until the 7th of Novem
ber and we will see .them hang their heads
and go out at the back door. J

Ose More Lie Nailed Down.
Mr. Editor : The Democracy and their
pinis are industriously circulating stories
to the effect that when the Independents
came to th;s place to hold a meeting they
were refused the new school hall, but when
the Republicans came for the same purpose
they at once received permission to occupy
the building. This story is an emphatic lie
made out of the whole cloth, and circulated
as I have said, for effect, The true statement
for which I have authority, is as follows:
When the Independent meeting at this
place was advertised, the school directors
passed a resolution and entered it on their
minutes that "Any political party shall
have the school hall for the purpose of
holding a meeting, on the jwyment of teu
dollars." This, you see, includes Inde
pendents, sore-heads. Democrats any one
with a leu dollar William. - When the In
dependents came they wauled the hall, bnt
their nieriibers being tew, their purses weak,
and their Democratic hounders-on to polit
ical nothingness unwilling to assist them,
they cuulj not raise the ten dollars, even
though the silver-tongued General Koootz
was the attraction. " How are the mighty
lallen." The time has been, and not long
I since, that one hundred dollars could have
been raised iu this place to jiy for the hall
in which Geo. Koout. was announced to
speak aud raised iu a few minutes, too.
Now all are "too poor" to do him rever
ence. When the Republicans cume they
agreed to pay and they have paid the ten
dollars, and they got the hall. It was u
purely business transaction ; the one party
had the money, paid and got the hull the
other party had not the money, could not
raise it, end weut elsewhere. The teacher of
the school is entitled lo sfiecial mention.
1. e very kindly adjourned his school for the
time, which of course he could not have
been com k-1 led to do but of his fret! good
will, like the gentleman that be is he did it,
and he has our thanks.
This is the little matter that raises so
grout u stir, and which a gray-headed man
of eighty has been circulating and giving a
false coloring to ; which Addison's chiet
Democratic son bus been chewing as a deli
cious morsel, and spreading among his less
finely educated dupes as a dainty tit-bit of
Stalwart perfidy. And lo, its all a lie! Poor
Indepentleut-i! joor Democrats! poor Koontz!
poor dupes ! poor devils all ! Stalwart.

Grand Vtrt hlicx Meetinu at Hooveks
Vili.e. The meeting was called to order by
George R. Scull Esq., ut 7 p. in., und John
Hamer Esq., was unanimously elected pres
ident. The following gentlemen were elect
ed vice presidents: Lieutenant si. S. Swank,
William Rodger, John Weigle, Joseph Mey
ers, M. A. Rrubakcr. Secretaries, Ir. J. W.
Hamer, C. W. Weigle and F. F. Clark. By
this time multitudes had poured in until the
house was tilled to overflowing, ami told by
their anxious faces they w ished to hear the
issues of the day. The grav haired hero as
well as the young, came in with smiling
faces to hear the origin, doctrine, and result
of the Independent Jiarty, and also the evil
doctrines of the Democratic party. The
president now introduced to the audience
Capt. Ed. B. Scull, who gave us the origin
of the Independent", and discussed also
many other points of interest, nis speech
was interrupted several times by applauses
thut went up to say, "Give us more
Republicanism."
We were next addressed by J. II. Jordan,
Esq. He recapitulated jurt of the previous
scech and sjHjke eloquently in denouncing
the doctrine of the Independents, and the
evil doings of the Democratic party. A. J.
Colborn followed in a very able speech.
During the meeting two or three Democrats
were unable to sit still. We assume that
the guilt of being a Democrat must have op
pressed them very much, or that seat-worms
were giving them some trouble. The meet
ing closed with cheers for the entire Re
publican ticket,
The Independents have advertised a
meeting here for Wednesday evening, No
vember 1st. The assumption is at this place
that the ludeiiendents are financially gone.
Th v only put one advertisement up here,
ami several hours later took it down and
put it up somewhere elsetoadvertise anoth
er meeting. The Independents seem as
scarce as hen teeth at this place.
Tri e Reitiii.icax.
Ed. Herald. The Independent meeting
held here last night was a lame affair. The
bouse was organized by calling Hanibald
Lincoln Martz, a minor, to the chair. No
man w ho bail arrived at the age of twenty
one of any party was willing to act as chair
man of this new party. One white and one
black Republican of the borough attended
the meeting; both came out as they went in
straightout Republicans for Reaver, Camp
bell and the whole ticket. Good onler pre
vailed; as nearly all were Democrats they
t-hoiiltl be praised for theirgood behavior;
they all aptieared confounded to bear other
men not of their own party fighting the
battle for them. The s -eaters gave their
Democratic friends to understand in private,
if not in public, that they were with them
hand, heart and soul. One speaker said be
knew many years ago that Republicans were
not numerous here, and he thought now
they were d m scarce. I suppose he found
very few Republicans here, not such as he
was heretofore, but such as he is now. An
other thing they no doubt both found out
that this town, according to the population,
hits a less number of fools in it than any
other town in the county. I refer particu
larly to the Independent Republican party.
Wellen-burg, Oct. 2i. . X.
Inpependentism Wasino.
Eii. Herald. I would like, through your
puper, to speak a word of cheer tojthc Re
publicans of other parts of the county who
are standing unflinchingly to their posts,
and who are determined thut in spite of the
efforts of those who call themselves Repub
licans and are yet willing to bolt the regular
jiarty nominations, the old Keystone State
shall not 1 surrendered to the IVmocracy.
As the contest Hears the end and the lines
are being closely drawn, it is becoming more
and more evident that we have nothing to
fear. The staid Republicans of Somerset
county are too wary to be caught with chaff.
The hoUowness of the arguments of the
Independent stump speakers is so apparent
that a school boy cannot fail to see it. They
cry out agaiust "Cameron rule" and "boss
ism" enough to make one belive that they
had all suffered a period of slavery with a
Cameron for a driver. But honest Repub
licans cannot avoid asking themselves the
question. "If the convention that met at
Harrisburg iu May and placed Gen. Reaver
and those on the ticket with him in nomi
nation was controlled by Cameron, how
does it come that Wm. T. Davits, the very
man whom the I ride indents put tin to de
feat Harry Oliver in the last Senatorial con
test, fu nominated for Lieutenant Gover
nor?" Harry Oliver was known to be the
friend and favorite of Senator Cameron, and
yet the man w ho was the leader in the
movement that accomplished bis defeat was
placed iu nomination by a convention which
the Independents say was controlled by
Cameron. This may do to tell children or
Berks county Democrats, who are still vot
ing for Jackson, bat it will not do to tell
the intelligent voters of Somerset county.
Another evidence that Senator Cameron
did not control the Harrisburg convention,
even if he bad desired to do so, is found in
the fact that Tom Marshall, the most Inde
pendent man in the State, was nominated
by acclamation for Congress-at-Large. Tom
Marshall, the man who was independent
enough to stump the State for Greeley in
'72, nominated by acclamation in a conven
tion that can't beendorsedby the Independ
ent Republicans of the State ! Surely mens'
devices are hard to understand. Will some
Independent ?jeaker arise and explain?
Another question that is being repeated!; '
asked is, "It the lndendents refused to ;
support the regular ticket nominated at
Harrisbcrg, as they say, because the conven
tion was controlled by some 'machine,' and
the ticket was therefore not made by the
Republicans of the State, why did they re
ject the proposition to submit, both this tick
et and the ticket afterward nominated by
themselves at Philadelphia to the Republi
can voters of the State at a primary elec
tion to be called for the purpose, with the
understanding that the ticket receiving the
largest number of votes at said election
should stand as the Republican State ticket
to be voted this fall?" Surely this would
have been fair, and we plain country people
can't see how any better plan could have
been devised tor getting a ticket that was
nominated "by the people."
Another tiling that we want to know is
if the Independents are, as they say, Repub
licans, how does it come that the Demo
cratic party nominated no Legislative tick
et? We liuve always been accustomed to
having two sets of Legislative candidates in
the field, but one set we knew to be Demo
crats; and now we bear the Democrats talk
ing about the prospects of Sorber and Sei
ber as flippantly as though they were of the
regular Bourbon line of descent.
These and many other like questions the
country people iu this part of the county
are asking themselves, and the more they
think of them the less disposed they arc to
take any stock in the Independent depart
ure. If the election were to take place to
day the Independent vote would not be one
half what it would have been before an In
dependent gun was fired in the campaign,
and by the 7th of November the vote will
be so small as to tlo no harm. To-day the
writer saw two Republicans who, when he
last talked with them, said they were unde
cided, but now they are for Reaver and the
whole ticket.
Let the Republicans (.f the south end of
the county do their duty on election day,
and we of the north will see that the line
is kept well closed up, and the whole col
umn will inarc h forward to a victory that
will be ascertain and as grand in its results
aany we have ever achieved in the past.

Meyersdale, Oct. 22.
Ed. Herald. It dawned upon the citi
zens of Meyersdale on Thursday morning,
October 27, thut the mountain (which is
right in front of us) was in labor. At
about 10 o'clock a. m., it became very pain
ful, and at 11 a. m. it brought forth a happy
issue. Charles Sumner said the mountain
labored and brought forth a mouse; this
brought fortliDr. H Clay McKinley, Lide-H.-ndent
candidate for Congress for the Six
teenth Congressional District. Contemplate
the difference of the mouse and the candi
date for yourself. Shades of Garfield and
Lincoln, what are we coming to? Rut to be
serious. On Wednesday afternoon the ed
itor of the Cunimerrinl said that on Thurs
day the Independents would have a candi
date for Congress. On Thursday morning
L. A. Smith, Dr. McKinley and a few oth
ers hud a consultation, lasting ubout two
hours, and then went to see Silas 11. Lichty
and a few other I'emocruts. Silas, etc., were
willing, of course, and the thing wasaccom
plished.
In the last ten days there was a regular
stampede from the Independents and Dem
ocrats to the support of J. M. Campliell,
and something had to be done to stem the
tide and bead off the movement, and Smith
it Co., who had promised Cotfroth their
supHrt for votes for Seiliert and Sorber,
saw that the only way was to nominate
some one who would be able to tuke the
votes from Campbell. They ma le a terri
ble blunder. Lou Smith says in the Om-
mercial that by direction of the conferees of
Blair. Bedford and Somerset, we place at
the head of our ticket Dr. H. Clay McKin
ley. Does Mr. Smith think we are all fools?
does he not know that the Independent con
ference met a month ago at Altoona, made
a nomination and adjourned sine die, was
dead and had no power to direct or make a
nomination, as the convention was not call
ed together and had no more to say than
any other private citizen. Mr. Smith can
produce no evidence that they were direc
ted to select Dr. McKinley. Even letters and
proxies fail him. Lou Smith, being the
voice of the people, has nominated Dr. Mc
Kinley. How is that for bossism? Lou
Smith may deny some and all of these
charges, but every right thinking man of
this town knows it is the God's truth. Dr.
McKinley pledged his word and honor to J.
M. Campbell in the presence of eight or ten
witnesses, that he would support him
(Campbell) for Congress. lt him deny it
if he dure.
The nomination of Dr. McKinley by l.ou
Smith and Silas Litehty disgusts everybody
here, and while be may be able to poll a few
Independent votes, they will all be made up
by disgustetl Democrats and the increased
zeal of the Republicans. Every friend of
Dr. McKinley'sin this town feels sorry that
he has allowed himself to be made a tool of
for the sake of electing A. H. Cotfroth.
Dr. McKinley is an intelligent, sober, pro
gressive and upright citizen, and all his
friends, without distinction of party, de
plore the course he has taken.

Gen. Coffroth a a gallant soldier, and as I
am reading tip the military history of the
various candidates, will you please give nie
the number of the regiment in which he
served. O. L. D. Soldier.
Why bless yonr O. L. 1). heart! General
Coffroth never bothered himself with any
thing so small as a regiment; he never as
pired to the command of anything less than
a brigade. Way back in the old days of the
corn stalk militia Gen. Coffroth wanted to
be elected Brigadier General of the brigade
to which the Somerset county militia were
assigned, but another mighty man ot war,
W. H. Koontz, desired the place, and as the
majority of persons entitled to a voice in the
selection were of Koontz' political faith.
that hero was elected. Coffrnth, nothing
daunted, resolved that he would be a Gen
eral and as the majority of those voting for
the otliee of Major General of the command
composed the counties of Somerset, Bed
ford and Cambria were Democrats, Coffroth
was elected Major General and thus out

Bki laii School Horss, Oct. 31, 1S82.
Ed. ltrLD: The Republicans of this
district, had a grand old time in theirscbnol
honse Saturday night. The meeting was
called to onler by Geo. R. Scull, Esq., who
nominated that staunch old Republican, G.
F. Schmncker, for President, Alex. Stern
and A. L. Howard, Vice Presidents, and
Lerif'Miller. Secretary. The meeting was
addressed by J. L. Pugh, Geo. IL Scull, and
John R. Scxtt, Esq's. They pave the ball
in Somerset North such a start that it will
continue to roll until the 7th of November,
when it will roll up a victory for Beaver acd
tbe whole Republican ticket.
There were a few Demecrats and Inde
pendents present, who looked as though
they wished that they bad wings that they
might At from the wrath that is coming,
which will tmry them for all time to come.
The meeting was a grand success and
closet! wsth three rousing cheers for Beaver
and the whole Republican ticket.
One or Them.
Graxd Ivepiblkas Rally at CoiifLr
eni I. The Republican meeting which had
been advertised for several days came off on
the 25tb inst. The meeting was held in the
new school ball, and was organized by tbe
election of Thomas Kylc-ra President, Wm.
Shaw. Ba. d RsH i 1 rhsrt-? Ti.w s Vi- r-rre-i.lmt-.
and lr. W. . Maintain, ot. L
D. YnUy ami A. C. Holbert as Secretaries.
Mr. Jobs A. Walker then introduced to the
audience Ed. B. Scull, Esq., of Somerset,
who made a telling speech of about one
bour's length, devoting himself to the is
sues of the day, and devoting part of his
time to an account of the men heading the
various tickets ; he also gave a history of
the rise of the Independent party; the
speaker illustrated his points by anecdotes,
and was frequently interrupted by the ap
plause of his audience.
The next speaker introduced was John H.
Jordan, Esq., of Bedford, and he made a
stirring address. In regard to bossism this
speaker said : "There was no bossism in the
Convention which nominated General Bea
ver. Don Cameron wanted Charlie Wolf
nominated, but the Republicans would not
have it and nominated General Beaver, and
Cameron supports him because he is tbe
nominee. These facts demonstrate the fact
that the cry of " bossism " is a fallacy that
no one man either owns or controls the Re
publican party."
"Tbe real contest to day U between the
two old political parties, and it is the duty
of Republicans to stand nobly by the record
they have helped to make.
" Every Republican vote for Mr. Stewart
is half a vote for tbe Democratic candidate,
Mr. Pattison. The Independent leaders
have admitted that they have no hoi '
the election of Mr: Stewart, but they say
they can defeat the Republican party."
The speaker then read the various offers
of compromise that were made by the
friends of Gen. Beaver, all of which were
refused by the friends of Mr. Stewart. He
then went into the tariff record of the Dem
ocratic party, and gave a history of the re
peal of the tariff of 1842. How George M,
Dallas was a Pennsylvania!!, and being so,
it was sup09ed he would stand by a pro
tective tariff; butbe was unable to with
stand the pressure brought to bear by his
party, and when the bill for the repeal bad
been carried in the lower House and went
up to the Senate the vote stood half and
half, and the casting vote was with Dallas
and he gave il in favor of the repeal of the
tariff of 1M-'. Then followed panic, low
prices, men out of employment, mills ami
furnaces closed, all culminating at last in
the great pauic of 1857. Then followed a
comparison of the rate of wages paid in this
country and some other countries, showing
that our wages are about double theirs. With
low wuges comes the ability to manufacture
at rsscost, and with high wages the cost
mutt be increased and hence the necessity
of a tariff in order to enable our goods made
by workmen at high wages to compete with
the goo. Is manufactured by workmen allow
wages. He adduced the Bessinier steel rail
as un illustration. A few years airo all these
rails were manufactured in England. Every
one of these rails was imported from that
country ut a cost of one hundred aud sixty
dollars er ton, and, no matter how great a
quantity was purchased, it was impossible
to get a reduction of a single doliuf. But a
company wus formed, which, went to
Euglund aud purchased the right to
manufacture these rails. They built a
manufactory, commenced business, and
asked our Government to put a turiff on
iiuxjrted rails in order to protect the home
manufacturers, which was done, and soon
the price of the Bessinier steel rail fell from
100 per ton to $00 per ton.
"The Republican party bus alwas been
the friend of the tailoring man.'' Lincoln,
Grant aud Garfield were mentioned as
illustrious instances of the Republican pur
ty's choice, and afterwards that of the na
tion, falling upon laboring men.
The speaker closed amid the wildest ap
plause, and after him Hon. A. J. Colborn
was introduced and made a calm, dispassion
ate address on the issues of the day. He
was repeatedly cheered during his address.
After he closed Col. E. D. Yutzy was
called. He ajKiiogizetl for the lateness of
the hour, hut during about fifteen minutes
he devoted himself to the prominent Inde
pendents of the county. The meeting ad
journed with three rousing cheers for Bea
ver. All in all, it was a success. More
than two hundred persons were in attend
