TaADE and dicker may be "scien

win.
Thl "utterly impossible" was
proved possible by Colborn's elec
tion. After all, General Beaver will
feel happier than the fellows that
did it.
The Independents stayed in the
crevices of the mountains on Tues
day last
The biter was bitten. Neither
party to the contract could deliver
the goods.
We thought Kooser did off the
fence on the wrong side. Guess he
knows it now.
The withdrawal of Morgan's card
from the CunmercUd, cooked his
goose, didn't it?
It e a Democratic viciory since the
ileetion. Stewart don't carry a sin

That pitcher went onc-e too often
to the well, General Collroth ! It was
bound to be broken. ,
Somekskt County stands faithful
among the faithless. All praise to
her sturdy Republicans.
What a popular candidate Mc
Kinley was! He ran abqut half the
vote of his select little party.
We judge that Tuesday la.st was a
good day for gunning Dead aucks
and lame ducks are plentiful.
Gkof and Uhl can bury that little
hatchet, and congratulate each other
that they are in out of the rain.
Those powerful editorials Judge
Hall "writ" for the Commercial
proved a loomerang to Reynolds.
"The cause for which Garfield
died," was sold to the Democracy for
a !. tirice than was paid Judas
Iscariot.
Ok all the political wrecks cast, up
by Tuesday's storm, Koontz is the
most pitiable. Once an autocrat,
now an outcast.
Judge Kimmel was beaten for
Congress on Tuesday, as was his
brother-in-law, Cofiroth. It was a
bad day for the family.
"We cannot elect Stewart, but we
can beat Beaver," said Koontz and
they did. Now, give him full credit
for the fratricidal deed.
LetV see Oollorn was to be snow
ed under 2800. wasn't he? Vennor
is not the only prophet that misses
his guess as to coming storms.
The Commercial urged theelection
of Captain Conley to the Senate, and
he only got 37 votes in Meyersdale.
Remarkably influential journal,
that!! '
The plurality for the Democratic
State ticket will be in the neighbor
hood of 3S.000. Stewart's vote will
probably amount to 47,0'H). He did
not carry a single county in the
State.
There is a balm in Gilead for
this people. If Beaver is beaten,
Campbell and Longcnecker, Colborn
and Morgan are elected, and treacon
in Somerset County stands exposed
and rebuked.
There are plenty of men who on
looking at the result of the folly per
petrated by them on Tuesday last,
will vow they will "never do it
again," but, unfortunately, this will
not right the wrong.
It looks a good deal like a case of
Sampson and th temple. A few
disgruntled politicians undertook to
punish the bosses and fell with them
underthe ruins of the temple. There
will be a resurrection of the temple,
but no resurrection of the victim.
His entire vote was 321, while Bea
ver received G03 votes and Pattison
559.
Those Republicans who were so
terribly tired of that "boss" rule
which has managed this State so
well for twenty-one years, will now
have the opportunity of trying Dem

Nothing but the veto of the Presi

the tariff as will close a majority of
the manufactories of the country.
Already some of the new members
who were professed Protectionists
are blossoming out as Free Traders.
Stewart, Marshall, Koontz & Co.,
went up and down the State pro
claiming that the Independent tick
et would certainly poll 150,000 votes
and that in all probability their
vote would exceed 200,000. What
unmitigated liars these fellows are,
is shown by the fact that Stewart's
vote will fall far below that of Wolfe
last year, which was under 50,000.
The New York, Boston and Phil
adelphia papers, publish a con versa
tion occurring between James G.
Blaiue and some friends in Boston,
on Friday last, in which that distin
guished leader made the emphatic
declaration :
,-I want you to distinctly under
stand that I am not a candidate for
the Presidency, or for any political
office; nd nothing could induce me
to be." It is well.
The crime of proving false to their
country and its flag, banished the
Democratic party from ower twenty-three
years ago, and yet with the
memorv of all the past in the minds
cf a multitude of witnesses who risk
ed life anl all they had to rescue
the nation from peril, men claiming
to be Republicans, have restored that
party to power in Pennsylvania by
slaughtering one of the most gallant
soldiers of the Union army.
Koontz went prancing up and
down the State alleging that he and
his followers were not striving to se
cure the tlection of the Democratic
ticket, but were sincere in their sup
port of Stewart. Now, since the
election, comes McKee, the Chair
man of the Independent State Com
mittee, with the statement that word
was passed along the line to vote di
rectly for Pattison, for fear that Bea
ver could not be beaten if they uid
not. Did Koontz lie, or was he only
a fool?
Some of the liveliest among the
disorganizes in Pennsylvania and
New York are beginning to paint in
bright colors the beauties of the new
Republican party that will arise out
of the ruins. These organs will find
it has been much easier to destroy
than to rebuild. Mutilated columns
and broken arches are not easily
patched in a great building, and the
schisms and rents made by such
campaigns as they have had in those
States will be just as difficult to
mend, and will require patient work.

It is claimed that many Inde
liendents voted the Democratic tick
et. If o, it only proves that they
were consistent in their determina
tion to wreck the Republican party,
and that instead of principle, they
were controlled by malice. First they
betrayed the party to which they pro
fessed to belong, and then turned
round and betrayed their own can
didates. Destitute of both princeple
or honor, they have shown them
selves political Ishmaelites, who can
not be trusted in the future, and
with whom honest men can have
nothing in common.
It was scarcely known that Gen
eral Beaver was defeated, when the
traitors who beat the best and truest
man ever nominated for Governor
by the Republican party of the State,
commenced crying "reconciliation,"
"Let us all stand together," See., Ac.
Very well, gentlemen ; the door is
ojwjt for the return of the men who
were deluded and misled, but recon
ciliation, with traitors never. Men
who have broken pledged faith, who
professed to still be Republicans
and then voted the Democratic tick

Gexeral Koostz can uow apply
to himself the moral of the story he

Let's see According to the Com
mercial and other great Independent
lights, Beaver was out of the race,
and the fight was between Pattison
and Stewart, and yet Beaver polled
over 310,000 votes, while Stewart re
ceived only 48,000 or about one to
six for Beaver. Were the fellows that
made these assertions simply fools,
or did they deliberately and know
ingly lie to, and deceive the people?
Will any man of sense trust them in
the future?
The Meyersdale Commercial of last
week says: "General Beaver was
"not defeated on personal grounds,
"for all had respect and esteem for
"the gallant, maimed soldier."
Hands off, you hound ! During
the campaign just closed, General
Beaver was subjected to villification,
misrepresentation and treachery,
and held up as a dishonorable man
who had betrayed his constituents,
and as a weak tool of a stronger
mind. Even his maimed body was
sneered at. All this his friends en
dured, but they will not endure, now
that the election is over, that he
shall be slobbered over with the sli
my praise of the liars who vilified
him. This is the deepest insult of
all. Hands off, we say, to you who
betrayed your party to accomnlish
his defeat He does not need your
friendship, and your proffered praise
is as insulting as itis'dettstable.
Will honest men look at these
two specimens of victory, and then
make up their opinions of the char
acter of the Independent movement
in this county. In the Borough of
Somerset
Beaver received 134 votes.
Campbell " 132 "
Stewart . " 67 "
McKinlev, for Congress, 17 "
Coffroth - u 125 u
In the Borough of Meyersdale,
Stewart polled 48 votes.
Longenecker polled 118 "
Conlev " 37 "
Reynolds " 136 "
Now, what became of the 50 votes
cast for Stewart that McKinley
didn't get? They were not cast for
Campbell, for he is two votes short
of Beaver's vote. Didn't they go to
Coffroth ? And what became of the
Stewart vote of Meyersdale ? Conley
got only 37 of it. Wasn't it cast for
Reynolds. Doesn't this demonstrate
that there was not only a bargain
and sale between the ludeper.den
and Democratic leaders, but that thi
Independents sold out their own djt
trict candidates? And
ust be painfully evident to judicial and most of their legislative
T m
Messrs. Seibert and Sorber, now that
they have time for the sober, second
thought, that tey were used as can
didates for the mere purpo u. B.r
;fv.5n the revenge of one set of pro
fessed friends, and furthering the
w for office of another. They
ought to have known that a bargain
.nnnort them, incited by such
motives, could not be carried to a
successful termination, ana mat a
contract between such antagonistic
parties, based on' such unworthy
motives, was too transparent to im
nose unon any one possessed of or
dinary political sagacity. In saying
this, we do not imply, nor does it
necessarily follow, that they were
personally parties to the contract,
but it must have been as apparent to
them, as it was to the general public,
that a contract for their support, be
tween wholly antagonistic parties,
did exist.
Messrs. Colborn and Morgan were
fairlv and honorably nominated in
accordance with the usages of the
Republican party, and were therefore
entitled to the support of all honor
able men who had participated in
the primary election at which they
were made candidates. A portion
of the party however, not for good
and sufficient cause, but out of gen
eral cussedness, and a determination
to disrupt the organization, made
Seibert and Sorber their candidates,
the fact being well known to all par
ties concerned, that this nomination
gave them no earthly chance for suc
cess. But, fast following this,' came
their adoption by the Democracy, to
the exclusion of candidates ii their
own party, and as they profssed to
be still Republicans, and As such,
stood no nearer the Democracy than
the Regular Republican dindidates,
men naturally looked for an object
and found it in the fac that the
Democrats had candidates for Con
gress and Senator, wh had not a
much better chance fosuccess than
had Seibert aud Sorbr, unless aided
by a force outside thir party follow
ing, then tallowed a coalition so
open, that itmight JB well have been
published to the world, and it be
came plain to ihi dullest compre
hension that a taftt, if not a direct
bargain existed, iheresultis known
and it is now apparent to the world
that Messrs. SeJert and Sorber were
merely used by more cunning and
unscrupulous politicians for their
own selfish purposes. There is a les
son taught thereby which it is well
enough to jy to heart for future
benefit: Mk, as a general rule, can
not be controlled by the hatreds or
ambitionsf others, nor can a com
munity If safely traded on, unless
its Bentitents are thoroughly well
ascertain d in advance.
La(el Hot urns From Last Tuesday'
Elections.
AT TIDAL WAVR
The good people who were fooled I
into voting the Independent ticket
and served as Deputy Democrats on
Tuesday last, will now have foilr
years under Democratic rule to re
flect ujwn their folly in assisting to
take the control of the State from the
Republicans.
Somerset County Republicans
made the grandest and best fight of
any county in the State. Set that

bosses in hers. If the State has
swung from its moorings, she is still
anchored in the safe harbor of Re- j
publicanism. ,

The Republicans still re

the House, by a majority not yet as

The defeat of the Republican par
ty in Pennsylvania is sofrly due to
men who professed to adhere to its
principles, but who, frm personal
hatreds, petty spites, and disappoint
ed ambition, attempted to strike it
a deadly blow. They have succeed
ed in giving it a temporary defeat,
and crowning the democrats with
victory. What is to follow ? is a
question which time only can de
cide; but one thing is very certain,
and that is, the leaders who aimed
this fratricidal How, may as well
march over into the Democratic
camp. Never again can they be
leaders in the Republican party,
Treachery, such as this, can never
be forgiven. Like Banquo's ghost,
it will not down at their bidding.
Doubtless many good men were
inveigled into this movement, whose
motives were pure, and others were
deceived And misled by those in
whom they confided, and in whose
Republicanism they had trusted.
Against thoe no Republican will
cherish sentiments of mistrust or of
revenge; they were deluded, and
should not be held responsible for
the acts of the men who deceived
and betrayed them. But the lead
ers who got up this causeless rebell
ion, fomented the bitter strife, and
persistently deceived and misled
them, will sooner or later receive the
reward due all conscious traitors

Tie results of the elections last
Tufiday in thirty-three States and
Territories is thus summarized by
tiit Baltimore American
In Virginia the returns are not
t all in, but it is believed that five
'emociats and five Coalitionists
ave been elected to Congress. Al
though the matter is in doubt, it is
generally conceded that John o
7 1 Wise is elected Congressman-at-large
by Irom o,(JU0 to o,00U majority
New York elects a Democratic
Governor by nearly 192,000 majori
ty, and a majority of the members
ot the legislature. The majority in
favor of free canals is probably 150,
000. The Congressional delegation
elected will stand VJ Democrats and
14 Republicans. Edson, Democrat,
is elected mayor of rew lork City
Pennsylvania will send 15 Repub
licans and l i Democrats to the ror
ty-eighth Congress, the majority
of Pattison. Democrat, for Governor,
is between 35,000 and 40,000. The
Democrate will have a majority on
joint ballot in the legislature.
In Massachusetts, B. F. Butler,
Democrat, is elected Governor bv
30,000 majority. The rest of the Re
publican ticket is elected. The Re
publicans will have a majority in
the legislature, as usual
In Indiana the Democratic State
ticket was elected by 10,000 majori
ty. The Republicans elect probably
four and the Democrats nine Con
gressmen. This calculation may be
modified )y later returns.
Minnesota win proDaoiv send a
full Republican Delegation to Con
gress, the Democrats may have
possibly elected one. The First dis
trict, at this writing, remains in
doubt
Tennessee elected a Democratic
Governor, and probably three of her
delegation to Congress will be Republicans.
Ihe Michigan Republicans lose
their candidate for Governor, but
elect a Republican legislature. The
Democrats secure six or seven mem
bers of Congress.
Delaware elected a Democratic
Governor and representative in Congress.
Louisiana elected five Democratic
members and one Republican mem
ber to Congress Win. Pitt Kellogg.

Texas will send a full Democratic
delegation, with one exception, to
Con gress. Ochiltree. Republican, is
elected in the Seventh district
Wisconsin will send three Repub
licans and five Democrats to the
Forty-eighth Congress. The next
legislature will be Republican by a
small majority.
Georgia elected a full Democratic
delegation to Congress.
Illinois elected the State Republi
can ticket and eleven members of
Congress, against nine Democrats.
Connecticut elected a Democratic
Governor and three out of the four
representatives in Congress. The Re
publicans secured a majority of the
legislature.
New Hampshire elected Hale. Re
publican, Governor. The two Re
publican candidates for Congress
were elected, and the Republicans
will have a majority in the next leg
islature. South Carolina elected six Demo-1
crau and one Republican (E. W. M
ticket
Iowa elected seven Republicans
and four Democrats to Congress.
This is a Republican loss of four.
The Republican ticket for minor
State officers was elected.
In California the Democrats elect
ed their State ticket, with General
Stoneman for Governor, and a full
delegation to Congress. They also
elected a majority of the State legis
lature. Colorado elected Grant, the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor, but
the Republicans' elected the rest of
the State officers and Belford, their
candidate for Congress.
In Nevada the Democrats elected
their candidate, George W. Cassidy,
to Congress.
Arizona will send a Democratic
delegation to Congress. A Demo
cratic majority will control the next
legislature.
New Jersey elected four Republi
cpns and three Democrats to Con
gress. The Democrats will have a
small majority in the legislature,
thus insuring a Democratic succersor
to Senator McPherson.
Mississippi elected five Democrats,
one Independent Democrat (Chal
mers) and one Republican (Lynch)
to Congress. The Democrats claim,
however, that Lynch is defeated by
a small majority.
In Kansas, St. John, the Republi
can candidate for Governor, was de
feated, but the rest of the ticket was
elected, and the State will send a
solid delegation to Congress.
Kentucky elected eight Democrats
and two Republicans (Culbertson
and White) to Congress.

delegation to Congress,
Tennessee elected a Democratic
Governor and a majority of, if not
all, of the Democratic candidates f r
Congress.
Alabama will send a full Demo

be counted upon to send one Repub
lican out of two to Congress. The
legislature will probably be Demo
cratic.
Rhode Island elected a solid Re
publican delegation (two) to Con
gress.
In Missouri the Ainth and lnir
teenth districts are in doubt, with
chances iu favor of the Republican
candidates. The Democrats elect
the other twelve Congressmen.
Maryland elected four Democrats
and two Republicans to Congress,
and certainly three, and probably
four, judges out of thirteen. The Re
publicans made considerable gains
throughout the State.
Nebraska elected the Republican
State ticket, with the exception of
Treasurer, three members of Con
gress, and a majority of the members
of the legislature.
New Mexico elected a Republican
delegate to Congress.
Fighting in Alaska.
Who have been Rebuked.
Mob Law In Louisiana.
After any great battle of the war,
when the Union troops had .been
defeated, the fellows who skulked in
the rear, or wLo fired in the air, or
who found ready excuse for not do
ing their plain duty, were most
eager to explain or criticise. The
soldiers who did the real work of
the battle, who never faltered when
the storm was fiercest, who stood by
the flag to the last, accepted defeat
like men, but the mem who were
not in ranks when they were wanted,
or who deserted before the battle
opened, were loud in their com
plaints against leaders and subordi
nates and had much to say of the
lessons of defeat
So now, when the Republican par
ty has met with disaster, criticism
and recrimination come most from
those who contributed most to the
defeat. What a sectacle for the
founders of the party is presented
when the Republicans who voted
squarely against the ticket, or who
worked against the party for weeks
and fell sullenly into line at the last
moment, shout in chorus that the
result is a rebuke to the men who
did their best for Republicans early
and late. What a splendid offering
to the old soldiers of the war is
made when Republicans in one
great State boast of slaughtering one
of tlie most gallant soldiers of the
Union army, and, adding insult to
injury, point to the defeat of General
Beaver as a rebuke to men who
never scratched a Republican ticket.
There was a time when it was a
fashion in the party to rebuke the
other fellows. '
But times have changed. In New
York the Republicans who voted for
the Republican candidate are cen
sured, while those who voted for the
Dtmocratic candidate are heralded
as the saviors ot the party. In Penn
sylvania the Republicans who threw
away their vote on an Independent
candidate, thereby securing the elec- J
tion ot a Democrat, are spoken of as
men of principle, while scoffs and
sneers and taunts are showered upon
Republicans who voted the Republi
can ticket.
But somebody has been rebuked.
The taritl men in Pennsylvania, by
dividing, have given the free-trade

The jail at Vienna, La, was open
ed Monday night by a posse of men
supposed to be from Jackson parish.
They compelled the jailor to open
the first door, and they broke their
way thence to the prisoners they
wanted. Four were taken from jail
who bad been taken to Vienna from
Jackson parish for safe keeping
jOne of them made his escape imme
diately from the jail door. He was
fired on three or four times without
effect, and another it is thought was
giyen a chance for his life. a.k he was
believed innocent. The other two
were found yesterday morning
about a mile and a half south of Vi
enna dead and badly mutilated
with bullets. They were negroes
charged with robbery and attempt
ed murder of an old white gentleman
by the name of Roy, but their at
tempt on his life was a failure. He
described them, and when they
were brought before him identified
them. The matter created quite an
excitement and will probably be
looked into officially.
The Poisoned Pie Sensation.
Norristows, November 9. The
poisoning of the Garber family by
eating pie containing arsenic is ihe
all-absorbing topic of conversation.
One of the victims, Charles II. Gar
ber, died at noon to-day. His son
Henry also is in a very dange rous
condition. It has been discovered
that a large quantity of arsenic was
in the flour from which the pie was
made. How it got there is still
shrouded in mystery. Some persons
inclined to the belief that is was
placed there by an enemy of the
family. There is intense excitement
in the neighborhood. Some of the
flour from which the pie was made
has been found to contain arsenic
in crystals of purer quality than that
which is usually sold by druggists.

Sak Francisco, November 12. A
dispatch from Victoria, B. C, says :
The United States revenue cutter
Thomas Corwin, which htm arrived
from the north, brings particulars of
the recent fight with Indians and
the destruction of a village. The
village destroyed was located at
Hochinoo, on the Alaskan coast.
The tribe had seized and held two
white men and a steam launch
which had been sent out with a tug
for whales. The launsh was pro
vided with a bomb, which was being
fired when an explosion occurred
and an Indian chief, who was on
board, was killed. The tribe sur
rounded and captured the launch
with two white men, and nearly
succeeded in getting possession of
the tug. The latter, however, got
away, and steamed to Sitka. The
Corwin, with her captain and sixty
sailors and marines, was dispatched
to Hochinoo. Captain Merrium
demanded the surrender of the
launch and prisoners, which was
refused. The next morning a Gat
ling gun was placed on the beach
and a force landed and destroyed
all the cannons. The Indians fled to
the woods and the village wasshelled,
the huts that remained standing after
the shelling being looted ana burned.
Several warriors who ventured out of
shelter were killed. This severe les
son was necessary, as the tribe has
been guilty of many acts of cruelty to
the whites.
Hearing while in Alaska the In
dians had taken possession of one of
the American Fur Trading Com
pany's stations and held all the em
ployes prisoners. Commander Healy
went to their relief, and found the
Indians very hostile. He shelled
their villages and released all the pris
oners, the village was totally de
stroyed and two chiefs were made
prisoners.
A Mysterious Affair.
Reading, November 9. Daniel
Seabold and wife, of Annville, were
discovered at an early hour this
morning lying on their hands and
knees in their bedroom in an uncon
scious condition. Both had retired
in their i sual good health last night.
and a brother of Mr. Seabold occu
pied a room in the upper story of
the house. When he came down he
found the door of his brother's room
opened and the occupants on the
noor as above described. Medical
aid was promptly summoned. The
woman revived and commenced
vomiting. The doctor said both
had been poisoned, while others
thought that they had been over
come with coal gas arising from the
stove and that the brat her would
have been similarly affected had he
slept lower down. There was no
gass or sulpher in the room whew he
descended. Both were in danger at
last accounts.

Williamsport, Pa November 9.
The democrats of this city and
neighborhood to-night celebrated the
sweeping victory by an immense
mass meeting on Market square, and
a torchlight procession through the
Erinciple streets of the city. Proha
ly not less than 10,000 people as
sembled on the square. A brilliant
display of fire works, cannon firing
and an -immense boa fire formed
party of the programme. Three
bands were in attendance, and not
withstanding the heavy rajnfali,
nothing could exceed tbeenthusiastn
of the assembled multitude.

ed a Democratic Uovernor as a
means of making the State Republi- j
can in l&M. Ihe ICepuolicans ot
Kansas, afterjvoting for a prohibition
amendment, have elected a Demo
crat to look after its enforcement.
Somebody has been rebuked. The
men who tried to defeat Grant in
1870, and Garfield in 1880 have had
their way. The men who have fan
ned the difference and resentments
of factions, the men upon whom the
party harness has set so lightly thpt
it wtmt off whenever there was heavy
pulling to do, the men with whom
it is a v irtue to bolt and a crime to
lie steadfast to party, are in the
lead.
It is theirs to rebuke, reproach,
and reprove. They have done so
well that the old fashioned Republi
cans will be expected to bear in
silence and with patience all that
may be said in censure of straight
out party men. The veterans of a
score of battles, in times when to be
a Republican was to vote the Re
publican ticket, will now pass in
review for advice and criticism.
They will be told that they have
been stubborn and short-sighted.
Had they not made such a con
founded racket about the regular
ticket the new-fangled party men
would not feel os bitteriy toward
them, and would not find it so hard
to forgive and forget
But as it is, if the old-fashioned
Republicans will humbly acknowl
edge the error of their ways, the
fellows who have secured the great
tirty priumph, or rebuke,. of this
year will kindly proceed to rebuild
the temple as it were. If the old
veterans will carry up th stones
aud put them just where the back
action fellows tell them, and forget
their resentments and the traditions
of Republicanism, the fellows who
have tiken so much delight in pull
ing the party down will show the
regulation fighters a kink or two in
the way of reorganization that will
make their heads swim.
Just so. Let the bands begin to
play. The old fogies who voted for
Lincoln and Grant have been rebuk
ed. They feel keenly the defeat of
the party. They voted for the tick
et, and they deserve all that they
have received. Kick them and cuff
them and laugh at them, and then,
when the time comes, ask them, for
the love of the old party, to fall into
line and help pull the reorganized
scheme through,
The i,enllemen who have sought
to purify the party by crushing the
spirrt out of rank and file should
lose no time in submitting the plans
for orgaiizing victories, which they
have led the people to believe are
secreted within easy reach. The
Republicans who have defeated the
Republican party have the floor.
The country would be glad to hear
from them as to best methods for
quieting resentments and securing
harmony. Men who have carried
their resentments to the extreme
point, and who have sought to ad
just party differences by open trea
son, should be able advisers on this
point. hue the old-fashioned par
ty men are loaded down with such
troubles as has not come to them
since I8(i2, let the exultant and
gleesome reorganizes take the floor.
After they have rejoiced sufficiently
let them explain, with a fair degree
of particularity, just how the party
is to be made as good as new. 7ier-
