The Democratic party of this
State had letter have its gonfalon
wadded and have it adjusted to its
rear. It is going to get an awful
kicking on the Cth of next month.
The Democratic roosters that
crowed so lustily last year over the
victory in this State, for "Pattison
and Reform," are just now splitting
their craws crowing over the success
in Ohio, of "Hoadly and Free Rum."
The prohibitionists of Ohio not
only lost their amendment, but by
their course elected a Democratic
majority to the legislature that will
certainly repeal the Seott law. Thus
instead of cIom ng the bars, they have
let them down altogether.
Although the Republicans did
not win in Ohio, as they hoped, yet
they reduced the Democratic major
ity of hist year, one half. Next year,
when there will be no temperance
issue to divide the vote, the other
half will be easily wiped out.
Tue result of the election in Ohio
has stimulated the Democracy into
great activity, and they are worki ng
zealously, with the hope of catching
Republicans a napping. Let every
Republican make up his mind to go
to the polls, and we guarantee a cer
tain victory for Xilesand Livsey.
In their desperation, the Democrats
in some portions of the State, are
circulating the report that Mr. Liv
sey, our candidate for State Treasur
er, was in the rebel army. The truth
is, Mr. Livsey served gallantly as a
corporal in the Union Army, and is
now a member of "Hay's Post, No.
3," Grand Army of the Republic, at
Pittsburg.
If the Republicans of Somerset
County have not yet had a suflicien
cy of Democratic rule in this State,
they will please remember than an
election will occur on the Cth day of
next month, and that by staying
away from the polls, they cau insure
a continuance of the rule of the De
mocracy in this State, and assist to
extend it over the entire country next
year.
Ten dollars a day and roast beef,
for memWere of the Legislature, for
a whole year, is what the Democrats
meant when they promised us "Re
form" last year. A million of dol
lars is about the size of the pile the
tax payers will have to pay for the
luxury of a Democratic Reform Leg
islature, that has done literally
nothing. How do you like it, tax
payers ?
If the Democratic State ticket
should be successful at the coming
election, it will be taken as an ap
proval of the course of the Demo
cratic House in refusing to adjourn,
and the probabilities are that it will
remain in session until the expira-!
cpira
lion of its term, on the 31st day of
December, 1S84, at tiie additional
cost of $3090 jer day. for the next
fourteen months.

money comes from the people's pock

don't want to be taxed to death,
simply for the fun of paying ten
dollars per day to each member of
the Legislature for doing nothing,
then go to the election and say bo, by
your votes.

County endorse Governor Pattison 'a

if they

their potato digging and corn husk-
. ....
ing: but 11 mey warn, w "'"
waste and save their money, they
must come out to the election, and
vote arrainst this criminal and prof-
ligate waste.
The issue in Pennsylvania at the
coming election is a purely political
one, and if the Repnblicans have a
majority in the State, Xiles and I A
will be elected. Pattison was

Democrats have a majority ot tne!Qf tw0 mjujon8 Qf taxes for the eup
voters in the State, but by reason of j 0rt of the police and the poor, and
the Republican vote being divided throw this amount upon the shoul
between two candidates, and because j ders of the people,
several thousand Republicans, hos- j
tile to nartisan oolitic, supported ! A candidate for the responsible
g- '
him. His course has shown him to
be a partisan of the most hidebound
kind, and Democrat now support
their party ticket and urge its elec
tion, for the purpose of sustaining
his administration. Republicans
who do not approve Pattison's course
(and we have yet to hear of one that
does; should emphasize their hos
tility to it by laboring to 6well the j
majority for the Republican ticket.
The result in Ohio did not turn
upon any political issue, but simply
on the question of total prohibition,
or free rum. In Pennsylvania the
contest is of a totaliy different char
acter ; the issue is on the policy f
the Democratic State Administra
tion. The question is, will the peo
ple endorse the squandering of half
a million of their hard earned mon
ey on a useless extra session of the
Legislature, or will they by their
votes rebuke the profligacy that stole
into power under a pretext of re
form ? If this State votes Republican
this year, it not only crushes out the I
Democratic rascals, who are stealing
the people's money, but it settles the
fact that her electoral vote will be
counted for the Republicans next
year. But if Pennsylvania shall
sustain the Democrats in two consec
utive elections no odds what the
issue it will almost certainly indi
cate the election of a Democratic
President next year. This is the
issue.
It is only one week from Tuesday
next, until the election. Do not for
get that Xovember Cth is the day.
We have a good State and a good
County ticket, and they should be,
and will be elected, if the Republican
voters go to the polls. We urge all
Republicans in this county, not only
to go to the election, but to point out
to others the necessity of doing so.
The only thing we have to lear is
apathy. It is the personal interest
of every tax payer to go to the polls.
Their substance is being eaten up at
the rate of more than S3,000 per
day, by a do-nothing Democratic
legislature, that will not adjourn.
The farmer who stays at home and
neglects to vote, is simply encour
aging this criminal waste of money,
and adding to his own taxes. We
say to the Republicans of the State
and County, it is your own fault if
this profligate squandering of the
people's money is continued. You
can end it by going to the polls on
the Gth day of Xovember, and cast
ing your votes against the party that
is responsible for this woful waste.
The legislature has now been in
session almost ten months. After a
session of more than one hundred
and fifty days, at an expense of
fifteen hundred dollars for each
member, it adjourned, and immedi
ately it was readied by the Governor
and has since continued in session
at an expense of $3,091 per day, or
a total up to this time, for the extra
session, of $430,344
By the day of j
the election, the total cost of the ex-1
tra session will reach $470,592, and j
will inevitably amount to at least
half a million of dollars before the
session can be ended. And for this
waste f half a million of dollars, we
have absolutely nothing to show.
Xo party can excuse, much less de
fend this continuous session from
January until November. And vet
this is precisely what the people are :
: asked to do, by voting for the Dem
and at the end of another hundred j
i and fifty days, failing to agree, it
; resolved to again adjourn, but the j
resolution to this effect was vetoed

the members are at home attending
to their private business, while a few
Democratic stragglers daily assemble
in.
me nouse ana make stumn

intelligent voter knows this to be a
truthful statement of the situation,
and this the outcome of the Reform
promised the people of the State by
Democratic orators and editors dur
ing the last canvass. There is but
one chance for relief left the tax pay
ers. Let them turn out to the elec
tion, and by an overwhelming vote,
show Governor Pattison and his ad
visers that they roprobate his course.
No administration will dare continue
a course emphatically condemned
by a large majority of the voters.
But if, on the other hand, the Dem
nr.rata elect their ticket, it will be
claimed as a full endorsement of the
Administration and a continuance
of the extra session.

When the Republican party be

vast National debt pnea up in

population has of course assisted.
The Ohio Prohibitionists having
swapped enough votes with the
Democrats to elect an anti-Liquor
Legislature, that body will proceed
' to repeal the "Scott law" and release

a man of sound financial views.
And yet during the greenback agi
tation several years ago, Mr. Joseph
Powell, Democratic nominee for the
aboved named oflice, wrote a letter,
in which he said the resumption act
was inoperative and a dead letter,
and when a candidate for congress
he pledged himself to vote for its
repeal.
It requires no gains for the Repub
licans to carry Pennsylvania. Put
the Beaver and Stewart votes of last
year together and the highest Dem
ocratic vote is reaten by uOOO. And
all of these and many more were
Republican votes, while Pa'tison's
vote greatly exceeded that of his tar
ty. The lines are growing taut
there is no division, and, Pennsyl
vania's result will show the drift on
Xational issues, and tell us in Xo

maintained or lost. We have no fear
that it will be lost, if Republicans

"Don't know.,, "Well, aren't our

never been infringed upon."

twenty five cents by refusing to ride
in a hack from the railroad station

to steal over two million dollars in

"It Benjamin F. Butler has ever
leen inspired for a single moment
in his life with a generous or manly
feeling, there is no evidence of it
on record. He is a type of all that
is mean, false, brutal and despicable
in man. There is not in the peni
tentiary in the country one who
does not deserve public confidence
and esteem better than Butler. Yet.
if by any freak of insanity a Demo
cratic convention should nominate
him, we would support him because
this newspaper is Democratic and
will always be loyal to its party."

AN ANGRY MOB Itt:rnKl.
Demanding a Murderer
tint.
For Vic-
Fowler, Ind., October 17. There
is great excitement over the confes
sion of Jacob Xellina, the murderer
of Ada Atkinson. Xelling narrowly
escaped lynching last night, but al
though the storming of the Fowler
jail was not then successful the idea
of lynching has not been given up,
and it is expected that about fifty
determined men will secretly organ
ize themselves and quietly force their
entrance to the jail when it is not
guarded and hang Xelling without
much demonstration.
On the 24th of September Ada
Atkinson, fifteen years old, daughter
of Cephas Atkinson, a well known
and wealthy cattle dealer, residing
near the village of Pinelands, Benton
county, was found murdered in her
room. Her father and mother had
left home early in the morning for
the railroad station, several miles
distant Ada and her sister, Lucy,
were left at home, alone. Alter din
ner Lucy left for a visit to iriends
some distance away and Ada became
the sole occupant of the house.
About five o'clock in the afternoon
Lucy returned. Going up to the
sleeping rooms she found her sister
lying on the floor, covered with
blood. An alarm was at once given
and the neighbors made a hasty ex
amination, which showed that the
girl had been literally hacked to
.pieces. There were twenty-live sep
arate cute. The murderer had first
severed the jugular vein, 'after that
he had gone deliberately to work to
mutilate his victim on the face,
hands and neck. Great gashes
across the stomach exposed the in
testines, while everything near was
spattered with blood. Most of the
mutilation was done alter the girl
was helpless and possibly dead, and
the fiend who committed the terri
ble deed tore oil the girl's clothing
that the knife might sink the deeper.
When first discovered the dead girl
was lying with her face on the floor,
her head resting partly upon one
arm, while the other was stretched
forward, as though she had attempt
ed to clutch the carpet Xot a thing
was taken from the house and mon
ey in the bureau was not disturbed.
Suspicion iointed to Xelling, who
was a laborer on the Atkinson farm.
He denied any connection with the
crime and tried to shilt it upon the
shoulders of Jacob Ladd. Both meh
were taken into custody. Xelling
confessed to the ollicers that he had
murdered little Ada. While lie was
chopping wood, he 6aid, an insane
freak took possession of him to kill
the little girl and he went right into
the house and committed the bloody
deed.
When this confession was made
public yesterday the greatest excite
ment prevailed. Men crowded into
town from Lafayette and Oxford,
and by nine o'clock in the evening a
mob of eight hundred or a thousand
men surrounded the jail and de
manded the murderer. The prisoner,
whn he heard the mob howling
outside, sank to the cell floor tremb
ling and moaning in abject fear.
The would-be lynchers demanded
that Xelling should be brought out
and were wild with excitement for
fear that he would escape the gal
lows on the plea of insanity. The
sheriff and his assistants stood firm
and refused to deliver up the prison
er. A guard of fifty armed men as
sisted them. A rush was made by
the lynchers and a struggle ensued,
during which several lynchers were
thrown down and trampled under
foot. The sheriff and the ex-sheriff
pleaded urgently with the crowd to
disperse, and the best citizens of the
town went in among them, begging
them for God's sake to desist. The
mob were under no regular leader
ship or they would have accomplish
ed their object They dispersed with
threats of hanging the murderer at
some future time. After midnight
a train arrived, and another mob
was organized and made several un
successful attempts to get the pris
oner. This mob surged about the
jail all night and only dispersed
with daylight. To-day the Gov
ernor ordered out Company C of the
State Guards, who are on duty.
Xelling is much frightened, and de
clares thot he would never have
murdered Ada if he had been in his
right mind. The jail is secure and
well defended by the sheriffs armed
force.
Death in many Forms.
Guaymas, Tex, Oct 18. Advices
from Altata report the population of
the town has been decimated by
yellow fever, the deaths averaging
20 a day for two weeks. On the 3d
of October Altata was struck by a
hurricane, killing several people and
destroying the greater part of the
town, and the inhabitants sought
refuge in the mountains. Several
miles of the Durango Railroad track
were torn up, the bridge at Clur
arbitos blown down, and the depot
machine sheds are the only build
ings left standing. The private loss
is estimated at $50,000. What with
fever and hurricane the devastation
isj something terrible. Custom ofli

Great Shocks of Earthquake Rend
Mountain and Valley. Wreck Vil
lage, and Entail the Most Horrible
Dent ruction.
Constantinople, October 18.
The meager advices previously sent
of the earthquakeatSmyrnaon Tues
day are supplemented by details
which show the convulsion to have
been atLong the most serious that
have ever visited that unfortunate
country.
The "extent of the ,field of action
shows that the forces which produc;
ed this gn at earthquake were mani
fested deep in the interior of the
planet, and not on the surface only.
The pecuniary loss to the city of
Smyrna will be very great, but the
loss of life will hardly exceed three
hundred persons. In the Island of
Chois, in the archipelago, a few
miles beyond the promontory be
hind which Smyrna is situated the
shocks were felt with terrible sever
ity. The entire four hundred miles
of territory of Ciiois seemed to be
for the time but one undulating sea
of earth waves, following each other
rapidly like the swell of an ocean
storm. Frightful noises succeeded
the shock, causing terrifying crie3
and fearful howlii.gs of human be
ings, juul crushed animals. A thick
dual was dill used in the atmosphere,
and the sky was darkened as in the
darkest nights. The limestone
rocks dotting the island were rent
asunder. The beautiful valleys
were seamed with enormous fis
sures, ami the course of the streams
which irrigate the fertile plains sud
denly changed. Xearly all of the
extensive wine cellars on the island
were utterly ruined, and the loss to
the owners will aggregate an enor
mous sum. At Kastro, the capital
of the island, the castle built in
front of the city as a means of de
fense in the olden time, was level
ed to the ground. Three small silk
factories were totally destroyed, and
one cotton factory was damaged
almost beyond repair. Of the town's
population few people escaped some
injury, and a large proportion were
seriously hurt The loss of life in
Kastor will aggregate fully nine
hundred souls.
In other parts of the inferior the
loss of life and destruction of prop
erty were als very great. The earth
quake waves seem to have followed
the coast line all the way from Aivah
to Mul.i sa, and the whole territory
over which the great shocks extend
ed was at times heaved simultane
ously, and sensations similar to sea
sickness were experienced by nearly
all the inhabitants. Those who
watched the sky noticed that tiie
drit'tins clouds seemed at times to be
arre.-ted in their motion.
Later advice from the interior in
dicate that the loss of life in that
section may reach four thousand
soul.-:, aiid will certainly number
fully three quarters of that estimate.
Tiie number ol maimed will be very
lare. At Kskihissar the dead are
about one hundred and fifty. From
S;irt tin; loss of seventy-five lives is
reported. In Milasca the damage
was flight, and the loss of life will
not n imber fifty, the earthquake
seeming to have spent its force near
that point. "AtGeira the dead num
ber ahout eightv. From many oth
er villages similar reports are con
stantly coming in at Smyrna, and
it is very difficult at this time to
make even an approximate estimate
of the loss of life. The Porte has
issued an appeal to the people to
assist the sufferers by the earthquake
in Asia Minor, stating that 20,000 of
servivors of the disaster in that re
gion have been rendered homeless.

went at once to the house, and, upon
being admitted, was seized by the

doctor had only a small sum on his
person, and offered that to the man,
hut the latter refused it, and told the
doctor that he must give him a

for an order on the doctor's wife for

Mr. Vanderbilt Hurt.
Xew York, October 17. William
it. Vanderbilt drove one of his fast
mares. Early Rose, out to the Gentle
men's Driving Park this afternoon
and during his stay there speeded
her several times around the track.
He was driving the reverse way and
going at a clipping gait when he
collided with 11 sulky to which was
hitched one of Robert Bonner's horse.
Just how the collision occurred
it is not easy to learn. It was, Mr.
Vanderbilt's fault, as he himself ad
mits, for the driver of Mr. Bonner's
horse, seeing him coming, gave him
the track, but Mr. Vanderbilt, wish
ing to drive to the stiibles, turned
I towards him and the wheels lock
ed. Mr. Vanderbilt's wagon was badly
broken, and he himself was thrown
violently to the trround. ptrikina on
I his right shoulder. He lay uncon-
jscious, while W. II. Turnbu'.l and
tthe usual throng who congregate
at the Park rushed down and pick-
I him up. It was ten minutes before
. . . . ....
he entirely recovered irom ine snocK
and then he was token home in a
carriage. This evening he said that
with the exception of a bruised
nhoulder and some stiffnes? he was
as well as he ever was. Early Rose
ran to the sUibies and cut her hind
legs somewhat on the broken wagon.
Mr. Bonner's horse was unrnjur
ed. A Carelei Hunter.
Xew Castle, Pa., October 17. A
frightful accident occurred to-night
at Wampum by the careless
handling of a loaded shot gun in
the hands of a youth of sixteen
years. Joseph Kregel, with two or
three other boys, was going out
hunting, and Kregel went to the
closei to get out a gun. He laid the
weapon across his right arm and
proceeded to put on a cap, when the
hammer of the gun slipped, and it
went oil'. Some of the shot entered
the face and neck of a four year old
boy named Willie Ault, who was
playing in the house. The shot
from the gun severed the ppinal
column and jugular vein, killing
the little fellow instantly. A little
brother of Kregel, also about four
years old, was shot in the legs and re
ceived injuries that may result fatal
ly. It was rumored at lirst that the kil.
ing was not accidental, but the resuit
of a quarrel, but there wan no evi
dence of this kind before the Coro
ner. A verdict of accidental shoot
ing has been rendered.
