The Republican clubs of Philadel phia are making preparations to give General Logan a rousine reception when he visits that city on the Sth of this month. The Democratic National Com mittee is out in a begging appeal to the hungry and .thirsty of its party for money to help elect its presiden tial candidate. The grandson and namesake of Henry Clay was killed in a drunken brawl, at Louisville last week. Rum and murder are not respectors of persons. More's the pity. The Republican State Central Committee has arranged to hold 1200 meetings in different parts of this State during the balance of this campaign. This is a large waste of fog-horn pyrotechnics. Mr. Beeciier writes a young friend that Mr. Cleveland's troubles stand as a warning to live right. He might have added, and also a warn ing to you my young friend, to vote right. The brief little announcement of Senator Edmunds "I will vote the Republican ticket" hopelessly ex plodes the Democratic canard, that the distinguished Vermont Senator was disgruntled, and would not sup port Blaine and Logan. No man in all thiB great country can have any doubt how Blaine and Logan 6tand oh the tariff question, or what tho platform means. Can any one tell where Cleveland stands on this question, or what the Demo cratic idatform means, without in volving himself in a maze of contra dictions ? The city of Buffalo, the home of Grover Cleveland gave Mi. Blaine a right royal welcome as he passed throuszh it last week. Thousands of workmen who have hitherto voted the Democratic ticket were conspic uoua by their enthusiasm for the candidate who stands for Protection to American labor. Those sanguine Democrats who hive been telling evervbody that Senator Cameron was hostile to Mr, Blaine's election, will feel as if they had taken an emetic, since the an nouncement that at Mr. Blaine's re quest the Senator will this week go into Ohio and take an active baud in the fight General William Lilly of Mauch Chunk, hat been selected by the State Central Committee to fill the vacancy on the Republican Elec toral ticket caused bv the death of Judge Iieisenring. The General is known throughout the State as an active, upright and influential Re publican. Col. Dcdley. Commissioner of Pensions, having resigned that posi tion, the rumor that General Beaver will be appointed to fill the vacancy has been revived. The President could not appoint a more competent and upright gentleman, nor better please the Republicans of this State than by tendering to him the posi tion. The Democrats are rapidly hedg ing a Ohio. A few weeks since they claimed the state, and exultine ly pointed to their majority of 15, 000 last year. Now they are shout ing il you Republicans dont carry the State by 25,QUQ ia October yot will surely lose it in November. They see the handwriting on the wall and are trying to hedge without squarely confessing that the jig is up with them in the Buckeye State. It has been rumored that there would be a fusion of the Greenback- ere and Democrats on an electoral ticket in this state for the purpose of defeating the Republicans. The Philadelphia JlccorJ, a Democratic paper, eaye of this : "Beyond this humiliation for the Pennsylvania Democracy there is nothing : bottom has been touched." The appointment of Post Master General Gresham to be Secretary of the Treasury is in accordance with the President's well known policy to put none but tried men on guard. Judge Gresham has ehown great ability in his late position, and he will without doubt prove equally as able in controlling the financial af fairs of the Nation. The Democrats of this county are not going to hunt with a brass band during this campaign. Republicans must not be thrown off their guard by their pretense of apathy. Practi cal Democratic politicians know the efficacy of a still hunt, that pretends to be doing nothing, while they are really 6training every nerve to secure a victory. The disposition shown by the Democrats at the outset of the cam paign to deride General Logan has suddenly petered out It does not pay to sneer at a man who is mak ing such powerful and telling speeches every day, and Democratic orators are betaking themselves to i attempts at answering the bristling points with which his speeches abound. Democratic brag and bluster over carrying Ohio is beginning to die out, and the howl is being raised that the Republicans are preparing to buy the State. These continual announcements that Democrats are to be bought up, show that the lead ers believe that as a general thing the voters of their party are for sale, and is a touching tribute to the hon esty of the people whom they assert areju?t dying for "Cleveland and reform." Thb enthusiasm with which Mr. Blaine is received as lie journeys westward is substantial evidence of the interest taken by his fellow citi zens, in the success of his canvass. At every point he is met by thrones to tastily their earnestness m his cause, and that of the party he rep resents. No public man except Abraham Lincoln, on his way from Illinois to the National Capital, was ever more cordially greeted by the people at every stopping place on his journey. Talk as you may about the effica cy of kissing the blarney stone, we would like to see the silver-tongued orator who can more deftly feed the multitude taffy, than did "iriend Blaine " at his reception by the peo ple of Erie on Friday last Said he : Although it ia thirty years since I was a citizen of Pennsylvania, there la no BjKrt on earth where I leel more at home ; the associations ri my cnild hood and ol my younir manhood and all that I cherished in early lite are identified with Penn sylvania, and I always return to li r with a feel ins; of all oct ion which il not lessened, hut deep ened by my lonr absence. 1. theretore. feel to-day in yocr fcjand reception, that I am met by breth ren, by Iri -nda indeed. 1 iniicht say by kinsmen, because I hardly coueeive it possible to assemble as lunre a number of Fennrylranlnns anywhere upon tbe soil ol the State without meeting; some one with whom lam nearly or remotely connected, and with all my attachment to tbe honored State ot my residence, in which I have spent nearly all the years of my adult life. 1 have lost nothing; of my lore for old Pennsylvania. Is the Twentieth Congressional district the Democrats are having a protracted struggle over the nomina tion. Ex-Governor Curtin has the support of the Conferees from Centre and Clearfield counties, Ex-Senator Peale those of Clinton county, Ex Senator Dill those from Union coun ty and Senator Hall is supported by Elk county. It is alleged that Cur tin's conferees will r.ot yield and that in the event of either of the oth er candidates securing the nomina tion he will run as an Independent candidate. We advise the Governor before he kicks very hard, to take a leaf from the experience of John Stewart and some of his followers, he will find that, like small pox, you may survive it, but will carry its ugly and disfiguring scars to the grave. O.v Thursday last General Jacob M. Campbell was re-nominated as the Republican Candidate for Con gress, by the unanimous vote of the conferees representing the several Counties comprising this district The conference was full and every member thereof cast his vote for the nominee. This was a happy con clusion to a somewhat protracted struggle and being the fifth nomina tion bestowed on General Campbell by the Repupubiicans of the district, indicates the very high esteem in which he is held by his political friends, The contesting candidates Col. McCamant of Blair Coun ty and John II. Jorden Esq. of Bed ford are gentlemen of mark in their respective Counties, and had receiv ed such flattering indorsements from their friends at home, that their conferees were naturally persistent in their efforts to procure their nomination. But while this pro tracted the settings of the confer ence, its harmony was at no time disturbed, and its final conclusion was brought about with unexample unanimity. General Campbell s en tire Congressional career has been one of consistent devotion to the principles ot the party, and the in terests of the people whom he has represented. Always at his post of duty, always prompt and attentive to the business of his constituants. intelligent, well-informed, and up right, he has deservedly won tbe high compliment of a fifth nomination. That tbe Republicans of the dis trict will return him to tbe next Congress by an increased majority. we have no doubt. The burden of the speeches being made by Thos. A.Hendricks is a com plaint of the large surplus now in the National treasury. No one but an old Bourbon Democrat, who al ways rides with his back to the en gine, and sees only the objects that he ha3 passed would think of howl ing because the Republicans have not onlv Daid all obligations that were due, but anticipated the pay ment of all Euch as they could reach, and still have a large surplus of cash on hand. How different is the situation from what it was but a few years since. Then, the Demo crats openly sneered at the declara tion that our frightful public debt would be paid dollar for dollar ; but the Republicans have gone on stead ily wiping it out until every dollar of it that can be reached is cancelled. The inteiest has been paid when it was due and the principal and the rate of interest have been constantly reduced until it has reached the un precedentedly low rate of three per cent, with the bond9 bearing this percentage selling at a premium. The principal of the debt has been reduced over $800,000,000, and yet there is plenty of money in the Treasury, and Mr. Hendricks and his Democratic followers charge this fact as a crime against the Republi can party. No doubt, nthe demo crats succeed to power, they will soon put an end to this criminal proceeding, and scatter to the winds the large surplus in the Treasury of which they 60 loudly complain. The world has never witnessed such able iinnancering as that displayed ' by the Republican party since the war. While the Democratic leaders were doing all they could to embar rass and hamper Republican efforts, and were longing for financial disas ters, hoping that these would bring Democratic success, the party in power went steadily forward, until it has placed the.financial affairs of this Nation in a position that is the envy of all the peoples of Europe. No other party ever breught a Na tion so successfully through such a crisis or made so proud a record as has the Republican party, and it is the very essence of puerility, and shows to what shallow devices the Democrats are driven, when their candidate for Vice President i3 found traversing the country, complaining of the large surplus which the gov ernment has in its treasury. The gratification of the Republi cans of this district at the re-nomination of General Campbell, is shar ed by their brethren in other portions of the State, as will be seen by the following comments taken from a number of leading Republican jour nals : The nomiiiation of Colonel J. M. Campbell in the Seventeenth Con gressional District insures the reten tion in public service of a faithful servant, popularat home and abroad, who always stood bravely by his duty, whether on the field of battle or in the halls of Congress. Phila. Pre. "Now that the Republicans of the Seventeenth Pennsylvania District have broken the deadlock and nomi nated Gen. Jacob M. Campbell for Congress, they should go to work with a will to secure his election. He has ably and faithfully represent ed the interests of his constituents, and deserves to be retained in the position where he has been and will continue to be so useful. Pittsburgh Telegraph. The Pittsburgh Commercial-Gazelle says : "The Republicans of the Seventeenth District did the wise thing yesterday in re-nominatjng Gen. Jacob M. Campbell. He has seryed them faithfully and well three terms, and there is no doubt that the people will ratify the action of the Conference at the polls in November and return him to Congress to con tinue his viluable labors." The unanimous re-nomination of Hon. Jacob M. Campbell in the Som erset district will insure the election of a Republican member of Congress when it was feared that personal am bition might put such a result in jeopardy. Gen. Campbell is very popular; is a companionable gentle man and, with strong friendships among the young and old of his dis trict, is well equipped for a success ful contest As a representative he is known as a painstaking, industri ous and careful member. He was chairman of the Committee on Man ufactures in the Forty-seventh Con gress, is well stocked with informa tion regarding the interests of the American manufacturer and work man, and his election at this junc ture will be consistent with the Re publican policy of selecting those best qualified to aid in the battle for Protection. IIarriburg Telegraph. Cuttinga. The New York Times has spiked one of its biggest kicking guns, that regarding "the Blaine scandal," It says: "Blaine's letter should close all lips except where manliness is forgotten." The next Democrat who writes "burn this letter," just tell Lim there wiij be a fire along in November akindol foretaste of the hereafter, that will save him all trouble. The men of Sodom were a small contract in comparison with a party which was the chief corner stone of human slavery and sacrificed a million lives in trying to perpetuate it Inter Qeean. - The Courier-Journal shouts: "We do not want a change of parties without a change of politics!" The Democratic party is for free trade, and three-fourths of the Democrats in the last Congress supported the Morrison bill, and Governor Cleve land was in thorough sympathy" with them. .Now let us hear from Randall & Co. "You pays your mon ey and takes your choice." St. John is not quite so hard on liquor drinkers as Hendricks once was. In bis speech recorded on page 31, Congressional Globe, first session of the Fortieth Congress, upon the " bill to prevent the bring ing of any spiritous or malt liquors into the Capitol," Hendricks said: "I am perfectly willing to yote for this or any other bill short of put ting to death a man who shall take a drink of liquor." He has no doubt changed since then, and would like this forgotten, as be does his re cord of disloyalty during the war. But there is no way to correctly estimate a public man that is better than to take his record, and Mr. Hendricks is no exception. Campaign Morsels. Is the good old Democratic days oflSot) a plow cost $12. You can buy as good a one to-day for $(5. If somebody was to corner whis key and coal oil it would burst the Democratic party in Ohio wide open. Well, Brother Democrat, the peo ple seem glad to see Mr. Blaine, don't they? Try Mr. Cleveland over the same route, just to test bis mettle. General Grant 6ays: "I do not know of any time when Republican success was more essential to Na tional prosperity than at present" There is a whole speech in a short sentence. Cleveland was elected Governor of New York by an overwhelming majority, but the actual number of votes he received was only 807 more than New York gave to General Hancock when a candidate for the Presidency, and Hancock waB de feated by a handsome majority. A fusion of the Democrats of Penn sylvania with Bntlers's motley fac tion would be selling one's self to the devil with the certainty of get ting no boot Five times a3 many Democrats would reject such a coal ition as the whole of Butler's Green back faction in Pennsylvania am ounts to. Record. HOOD SHOTS FROM LiOGAX. New York Tribune. The Republican party has not nominated weak men this year. While hearing the vast wave of cheering that rolls across the coun try as Mr. Blaine moves forward, it is well not to forget that meetings in Ohio, embracing from one to fif ty thousand people each, are listen ing to some of the most effective speeches ever made in the English language, and by one of the most popular men in that State, General Logan. Always noted for his pow er in campaigning, General Logan has surprised his oldest friends this year by the pith and power of his addresses, lie has talked continu ously, always with earnest argu ment, and with a breadth and so lidity of thought which not many speakers show, while his rugged earnestness and genuine eloquence kindle the utmost enthusiasm wher ever he goes. On Monday, for instance, he start ed from Youngstown, where a mag nificent meeting had greeted him, at 9 a. in., addressed a great meet ing at Alliance at noon, and among other things said : The eontest to-day is not s personal one. it is one between the rights of men in this country, and tbe diirnlty and elevation of labor, and the proKier ity of the people, and the English system of tree trade which lias produced ruin wherever adopted. 1 ask any Democrat to point out what the Democratic party advocates r w hat It believes. The Republican party ia open to criticism and asks that the lights be turned on. Then he went on to discuss the Dependents, who "say they are Re publicans, and in favor of Republi can principles, but they want Dem ocrats to administer them." He thought it was as if a man had come from the Confederate lines during the war to his old comrades, and bad said, " I am a Union man." They would naturally ask, " Why then, are you fighting on the other side?" Would any old soldier think it a good answer to say : " It is because I don't like the fellow put in command on the Union side." Then he went on to say ; " If you " want a statesman in the Presiden " tial chair, if you want a man for " President whose loyalty is bred in " the bone, and is not of the lip nor " of the hour, if you want a man at " the head of the Government who "has learning, force of character, " ability and breadth of mind, the " Republican party has given you " such a man in Mr. Blaine." At Louisville, twelye miles away, General Logan spoke briefly an hour later, and a great meeting greeted hina at Massillon, twenty-seven miles away, at half-past two. There he pleaded with Democrats thus : Ask yourselves seriously whether it would not be calamitous for you, if your party should icel in to power. Since iVd there has not been one act for the protection of personal tiiiiits or for the pro tection of labor that has not been opposed by tbe Democratic p-irty. It bus cajoled the foreitrn-born citizens, and yet it was left to the he publican party to insist that an American citizen, natiFeor lorcirn born, should le protected wher ever he miff ht Ije, and the Republican party has secured treaties from all the Kumicau countries except France riving Amerlcaneitlzens the same protecUon that they had at home. Then he suggested that his schol astic attainments really were not sufficient to enable him to explain the Democratic! platform. But " if " the Democrats wanted a free ballot " and a fair count thoy could have "it, as the only places where " there were not a free ballot and a " fair count were in Democratic I " States, and if there were a free bal " lot and a fair count, Cleveland and " Hendricks would not carry eight "States next November." When the tremendous cheers had died away, he went on to reason that if the Democratic party was serving any counUy, it was England, and not America." He closed with a bit of real eloquence on the states manship and genius of Mr. Blaine, urging that he should have the sup port of a Republican Congress. At half-past 8 another great meet ing at Canton welcomed the soldier with shouts, and he discussed the tariff question. " By the doctrine " of protection, the Republicans " meant that England should not fix the wages to be paid jn this " country. England was ' not in favor of slavery, but she " was in favor of free trade, and that " was the reason England favored " the confederacy. The " confederate policy on the tariff had " beeu incorporated ia the Democrat- "ic platform. If farmers wanted " good prices for their productions " and for their land, they should sup "port the protective pojicy, which " built up manufactures and gave " them a home market" Inese few sentences give some j idea of the points made in three I strong speeches on a single day,! which thousands heard and cheered. This sort of thing has been going on for sometime. It may be doubted whether all the speeches of all the Democratic orators in Ohio will have as much effect as the solid shots sent home by Gen. Logan alone. A Candidate on Tricycle. Washington Letter In the Cleveland Leader.

Philadelphia Times. , " Probably one of the most import ant results of Mr. Blaine's visit to Philadelphia is the thorough under standing he has had with the Stal wart leaders here. While there was not so much discontent among that element in Pennsylvania as in sev eral other places, there was- enough of it to deserve attention. Then it was deemed best to settle .with it hereon account of the beneficial ef fects its hearty support would have in other localities. . Early yesterday morning it was evident from the class of men to ba seen about the Continental Hotel that the Stalwarts were to have a hearing. The chief had telegraphed that he would come down from Harrisburg this morning and take part in all the events arranged in honor of Mr. Blaine. Many of his warm friends awaited his coming. It was nearly 11 o'clock when he reached the hetel and he was shown at once to Parlor 2. A moment lat er he went direct to Mr. Blaine's room and he was tho first visitor admitted. For a long time he and the Presidential candidate were in close and earnest conversation. The length of the conference between Mr. Blaine and Senator Cameron w?s the subject of a good deal of comment It was only in terrupted by the clamor of some of the business men who desired to be admitted and the arrival of the del egation of the State Central Commit tee which had been sent to request Senator Cameron's presence at a meeting of that body. What the details of the conversa tion were between Mr. Blaine and Senator Cameron no one of course knows. It is evident that they were of a character entirely satisfactory to both parties, for Mr. Blaine ex pressed his great satisfaction at sen ator Cameron a attitude, and Mr. Cameron, when he appeared before the btate Committee later, made a speech, in which he predicted the success of the ticket and pledged himself to untiring efforts in its be half. Even to his closest friends Senator Cameron is exceedingly ret icent as to the scope of the arrrnge- ment between Mr. Blaine and him self, but in a general way he passed the word to his friends that from this time on there must be no drones in the hive. Welcomed in Kuflalo bjr 200,000. STOPPED IN THE STREET AND CUEEIt KB FOR HOURS. Buffalo, Sept 22. The train was late in reaching Buffalo, and the party wa3 placed in carriages which started for the hotel, but the carriages were halted in the middle of a procession, and for hours Mr. Blaine was surrounded by flaming torches and flambeaus, and cheered by enthusiastic thousands. Noth ing of the kind has been before wit nessed in the history of the city. Over 100,000 people were wedged in Main-st, and the other streets on the line of the march were also crowded. It was almost impossible to pass a street in the line of parade. It would not be too much to say that at least 200,000 came out to witness the parade in honor of Mr. Blaine and to cheer the candidate. The surrounding towns furnished a good part of the vast assemblage. The emnusiasm was inaescnoaoie. inej city was fairly ablaze with torches j Columbus, Ohio., September 25, and fireworks. Chinese lanterns The mass meeting of Cleveland and and decorations of all kinds were Hendricks Clubs brought forty or numerous. There were 5,8.r)0 tor- j ionizations to the city and irom 10, ches in the procession. Campaign i)0 to 15.000 people. In the after organizations were present from Niagara Falls, Suspension Bridge, Tonawar.da, Lockport and other points. The Central Club, of this city, turned out GOO men, each one wearing a beaver hat and a PrinceAl bert coat The Democratic ward had in line 50 votes and another company formed entirely of former Democrats who in 1SS2 voted for Cleveland. The large German ward did equaliy well. The marching was kept up until midnight Mr. Blaine appeared on the stand in front of theTifft House and re turned his thanks. The reception committee consist ed of Josiah Jewett, Philip Becker, and 100 of the leading citizans of Buffalo. Never before h.a3 a candi date been receiyed with bo hearty and spontaneous a tribute as was given to-night to Mr. Blaino. David Davis For Blainr, BLooMi.vgTox, 111., September 28.

Yesterday the Ogle by Guards, a county organ ization of Republican voters over GO years old, held reunion and picnic in this city. A delegation visited the ex Senator at his residence to invite him to join in the procedings. He received the company with great warmth and cordiality. lie said that owing Vi indisposi tion, it would be impossible for him to attend the picnic, aud added : "I am out of politics and do not wish to enter them, bu I am with you in this cause, and tue cause ought to prevail, and I am firmly convinced it will prevail.

The special re ports sent from Erie today Rtating that twenty persons were killed by the falling of the grand stand at the Erie county fairgrounds are false. Late this afternoon a guy suppor ting the frame work of a balloon wnich was being sent up from the grounds fell, crushing the skull of Samuel C. Pherrin, a prominent far mer, living within the limits of this city and killing him iustantly. It also struck James Wadsworth, a far mer of Girard Pa., on the head in juring him seriously but not fatally. W. P.Edwards "secretary of, the agricultural society had "some of his teeth knocked out and his face disfigured. The accident was caqs ed. by the cutting of the guy fqpes by Qme unknown, persons. AU subsequent attractions of the fuip were declared off. Pherrin was forty years old and leaves a widow and a large family. Sales of Jersey Cattle. Baltimore, Md., Sept 24. A public 6aje of imported Jersey cattle took place here to;day! " There yere nineteen cows and heifers and one bull. The prices ranged from f 90 to 8200. One cow brought $275. The prices are considered very low for pure-blooded stock. Perlabed ia m Riosdtlaram, i Denver, Col., September 20. MissC. I. Welton,a wealthy younr lady of New York City, perished in a snow storm last Tuesday night while descending Long's Peak. Misa Wel ton had been spending :he season at Colorado Springs, visiting Pike's Peak and other points of interest A few weeks ago she went to Estea Park, stopping at a hotel. On Mon day evening she walked over to the house of a guide named Lamb, liv kg at the foot of the peak, and en gaged a eon of Mr. Lamb, 19 years of age, to act as guide in ascending the peak next morning. At G o'clock Tuesday morning she left the house and safely ascended the peak, but encountered a fierce storm on the return.during which thelady became completely chilled. Young Lamb assisted her in the descent the best he could until about 9 at night, when her strength entirely failed and he carried her for half a mile, when, finding his own strength failing, told her the only chance of saving either of their lives was for him to leave her and go to his father's house sev en miles distant, for assistance. He left her at 10 o'clock and returned with assistance at 4 on Wednesday morning finding the lady frozen to death. The remains were taken to Long Mont and will be sent to New York. Miss Welton was highly re fined, a great lover of nature and selfrehant. A heavy enow-storm prevails in the mountiius to-night. Mr- 151 nines Ohio Trip. Columbus, O., September, 24.

Four Men Lynched. Bkooi'have.v, Miss., September 25. Last Saturdav ni;zlit a mob of lortv men visited the Fn-.nkiin Coun- tv Jail, overpowered the juiler and took out four negro prisoners and lynched them to trees in the Court house yard. One was charged with an attempt at rape on a white girl, two with the murder of other negroes and the other with arson ami robbery. Four other prisoners were in tlie lail tit the time, one charged with ra:e, the others with arson, but thev were unmolested Tne mob infomed the iiiihr that unless the Circuit Judge cleaned out the jail this term they would re turn and make a clean sweep. The affair is greatly deprecated by a large majority of the citizens of the county, where six men have been sacrificed by Judge Lynch in tbe past eighteen months. A Great Democratic' Penionstratieir noon a meeting was presided over by Mr. Thuruian, who made the introductory speech and remarks on introducing differant persons. Senator Bayard, of Delaware, made the main speech on the growth of the Democratic party since the war ami ideas of reform and constitu tional government which had been developed with its progress. In the evening a grand street parade was given, in connection with an elabor ated display of firework. Speeches were made from four different plat forms iu Capitol Square and ad dresses were made by Senators Bay ard, Pendleton Payne, Doolittle, General Mansur, of Missouri, Con gressman P. A. Collins, of Boston ; John F. Follett, General Durbin Ward and others. Figuring on New York. Nfw York, September, 25. Ex-Postmaster-General James joined in a conversation that wa3 being held to day with Mr. John B. Van Worra er, who is his confidential assistant at the Lincoln National Bank Mr. Van Wormer had been saying that the Democratic defection to Blaine would more than offset tbe vote of the Cleveljind Republicans, and that Butler would disappoint Democrat ic expectations. "I believe," said Mr. James, "But les will poll as many vote3 as Cleve land does. The Tammany rank and file are as strongly against Cleveland as the majority of its leaders. I have been figuring on thii matter. I am willing to con cede 24,000 votes, which have goner ally been cast with the Republicans as likely to be taken out of their to tal vole in this slate.

About 4 o'clock a small boy standing near the passenger station of the Connot ton Valley road observed a man creeping stealthily up to a fctggage car and passenger coach standing on a side track.
