The fir-publicans of the city of
New York are urging General Grant
to accept tlie nomination for Mayor.
It is hardly probable that lie will
consent.
Tri ly good Democrats are now
horror stricken over the report that
Governor I'attison has absolutely re
fused to contribute anything to the
campaign fuud of his party.
You can scaruoly pick up a paper
now-a-days without coming across
the announcement of some promi
nent Democrat, who, disgusted with
Cleveland,is going to support Blaine.
Mu. Blaine's tour through New
York and Ohio has so stirred up the
average Democrat, that the prophecy
"The heathen rage and the people
imagine a vain thins.'" has come to
pass.
The election in Georgia, on
Wednesday last drew out a very
small vote. There was no opposi
tion, and the entire Democratic tick
et for State officers was of cour-e
elected.
Thomas A. IIksdkicks, the Dem
ocratic candidate for Vice President
is the gentleman who declared
" emancipation a wicked thing " and
"Abraham Lincoln a rmutty old
tyrant"
General Butler said in a recent
fpcech, 'I am asked if I expect to
be elected. Yes, if the people have
any sense." We fear the General
will conclude, the people are "darn
ed fools."
Fob twenty-five years the Demo
crats have been "counting their
chickens before they were hatched "
and now it is safe to say that in this
year of grace, lSS4,tbey are spread
ing themselves over a nes t of rotten
gg8'
According to the Assessors books,
over ten thousand young men in the
city of ITiiladelphia will cast their
first vote at the coming Presidential
election. The " boys " will vote on
age, and are nearly all for Blaine and
Logan.
Steel rails have advanced a doi-H
lar a ton, which indicates an im
provement in business, mainly at
tributable i the growing certainty
of Republican success,which assures
continued protection to this great
industry.
During the month of September
the public debt has been reduced
612,047,039. This makes the de
crease since June SOth last, $424
5S3.1S1, and is a further reason why
the rascally Republicans should be j
turned out.

JIas a President elect ever been

The Democrats are -not blowing
near so much about Ohio as they
were ten days ago. They now de
clare that Ohio has always gone Re
publican in Presidential years. Thi
is true, but notwishstanding, they
are working as they never did before,
with the hope of capturing the State.
Doctor Americus Vespscics Ex
held, present Sheriff of Bedford
County, has been nominated for Con
gress by the Democratic conference
of this district. The Doctor is walk
ing in the footsteps of Sheriff Cleve
land, and will be as badly "knocked
out" by General Campbell, as Cleve
land will be by Blaine in November.
NoTWiTHSTAXDixtf the fact that
the Democracy are doing their ut
most, they are asserting that they
do not expet to carry Ohio. This is
an uncommon display of modesty.
Last year they carried it for Gover
nor, secured a majority in the Legis
lature, and elected a United States
Senator. Whats the matter, tnat
they do not expect to carry the
State this year?
The intolerant spirit of Bourbon
democracy was thoroughly exhibited
at Albany, N. Y., last wesk, when it
rotten-egged Senator Grady who re
fuses to support Cleveland and is
6tumping the State for butler.
Curtis and his followers who bolted
Blaine for Cleveland, are patted on
the back, as immense fellows, who
" carrv their sovereignty under their-.
hats," but Grady and those Demo
crats who bolt from Cleveland to
Blaine, are only worthy of rotten-
ejres.
Is the ardor for Blaine and Logan
our local candidates must not be-
forgottcn. The necessity that Presi
dent Blaine shall be properly sup
ported by a majority in the House
at Washington, makes the return of
General Campbell to Congress, an
imperative duty. Our Legislative
ticket is of the utmost importance
this year, for the State is not only to
be re-apportioned, but a United
States Senator is to be elected. The
balance of the County ticket typifies
home organization, home sentiment,
and home imprests, and is entitled
to and should receive the fullest sup
port. At no time, and under no cir- J
cumstances should the interests of
our local candidates be lost sight of,
and their claims should be kept
well to the front during the heat of
the Presidential coutest
The people of Ohio are giving Mr.
Blaine a continuous ovation, as he
passes up and down through their
State. He is metbv immense throngs
wherever he appears and is appar
ently capturing the niacses as he j
goes, liemnd an mis eruuusissm
however, there is being waged the j
hottest, fiercest and best marshalled!
contest the state has ever known.
The Democrats are quietly but stub
bornly contesting every inch of
ground, their organization is report- j
ed as most perfect, and the' are well
supplied with the sinews of war.
The Republicans entertain no doubts
of success by a handsome majority,
but admit that to tccure it. they are
constrained to put forth their best
efforts. The election takes place on
Tuesday next, and the result of it
will have a momentous effect on the
final battle in November.
Governor Cleveland according
to previous arrangement, made a
visit to his home at Buffalo, on
Thursday last. The evident object
of the visit was to give his political
friends an opportunity to offset the
demonstrations in favor of Blaine on
the occasion of his late trip through
that portion of New York, and right
enthusiastically did they utilize the
occasion. Notwithstanding the fact
that a steady rain was falling at the
time of his arrival, immense throngs
crowded the str?ets, which were bril
liantly illuminated, and he was es
corted to his hotel by a procession
several miles in length. In response
to calls from the crowd he made a
brief speech, and afterwards review-
the procession. The sight was a
very brilliant one, and the applause
und enthusiasm fully met the expec
tations of hie fronds and gives color
to their claim that, in his own State
and t his own home Governor
Cleveland possesses the esteem oi
his party friends.
While Mr. Blaine on his western
trip is everywhere discussing the
tariff question, and urging 4,a the
people so to vote, as to protect their
own interests, Cleveland in the few
j public utterance he has made, has
been totally siieni on this grave and
commanding question, while the
leading journal! of his par.y insiot

while in Iudiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Kentucky and the South generally
they are conducting the campaign
on the ground of a tariff for revenue
only. It is this cowardly evasion of
the issue, this two-faced effort to de
rive the people, that shuts Mr.
Cleveland' mouth so tightly, and
makes it ce.Uin that the Democrat
ic party is trying toteal into pow
er by false pretenses. Buppcse that
by accident Mr. Cleveland should ,b
daring the last session of Congress,
proved the fact that Democratic pro
tectionists are but an insigni6cant
minority of his party, he will neces
sarily, if not willingly side with the
Free trade majority. The tactics of
the "Polk, Dallas and tariff of 1842"
fraud are being repeated, and so sure
as the Democrats succeed in this
campaign, so sure will the present
protective duties be stricken down,
and duties " for revenue only " be
imposed. History is repeating itself,
and if the people will not be warned
by experience, they will surely taste
the bitter iruits of Free trade, if the
Republican party is not successful.

The renomination of the Hon.
Jacob M. Campbell for Congress in
this district gives general satisfac
tion to all Republicans. No man
could have been nominated who is
better qualified for the position, and
no other man would poll so large a
vote in the district. His course in
Congress was straightforward, eer
a faithful friend to the soldier, ever,
faithful to his constituents, and his
record is clean and untarnished.
He will not only carry the full Re
publican vote at the November elec
ted, but many Democrats will rally
to his support. Cambria Herald.
"General Jacob M. Campbell of
Cambria County, was nominated on
Thursday morning for Congress, by
the Conference, which has been in
session at Somerset, since Septem
ber 2d. General Campbell has ably
represented this district in Congress
during three terms ana nas Deen
n faithful dilirent. cool headed and
efficient representative and his past
services will be rewarded with a re
election." Republican and Inquirer.
We are glad to note that, after a
protracted struggle, our old friend
Gen. Jacob M. Campbell of Johns
town, has been renominated for
Congress in the Seventeenth District
Geu. Campbell is noted for several
things which are important in a Con
gressman: For true Republicanism
and a protective tariff; for straight
forward and upright conduct, and
for strict fidelity to his constituents.
We are pleased to congratulate him
in advance upon his election for the
fourth time. Raft man Journal.
Hon. Jacob M. Campbell was unan
imously re-nominated for Congress
on Thursday. That this nomina
tion gives satisfaction to the b.rge
majority of the republicans of Blair
county, we feel assured, from the
feeling before and since the nomina
tion, and we are satisfied that it is
well received in all tha counties of
the district.
General Cuupbell has made an
attentive and faithful representative
during the past fouryears, ever care
ful of the interests of his constitu
ents as well as of interests of the
whole country. This is an iron and
mining district, deeply interested in
the American policy of protection,
and we are sure that he will not on
lv receive the vote of every tariff
Republican, but of many tariff Dem
ocrats. He was a gallant soldier
during the war, and he has paid un
wearied attention to the claims of
our country's defenders, giving tlie
greater part of his time in their inter
ests, and the senior editor ot the
Register knows lrom his own obser
vation on a visit to Washington
and an examination of the books
and records kept by him, that his
unceasing and earnest efforts were
always directed in their welfare.
We believe he will run ahead of his
ticket in Blair county, as well as in
every other county of the district
for the soldiers and their sons, as
all protections,wiil take care of their
friend in this contest They want a
majority of men like General Camp
bell in the next Congress, to aid
President Blaine in the government
of thecountry in favor of American
interests, and the perpetuity of the
great Republic." lMidaysburg Reg

Cincinnati, October 2. Before
Mr. Blaine's train left the depot at
Dayton yesterday morning a pleas
ant incident occurred. Among the
many ladies who spoke to him was
a native of the town in Pennsylvan
ia where he was born. Mr. Blaine
was greatly pleased at meeting her
and talked a lew minutes about old
times. Then a pretty little girl who
wanted to kiss Mr. Blaine was held
up, and when he kissed her the
crowd cheered enthusiastically. At
several small towns and at many
farm houses along the read the train
was saluted with cheers and waving
flags.
A SPEECH OM THE TARIFF.
At 12:20 ihe train arrived at Ham
ilton. Here Mr. Blaine und party
were driven through the town
to a stand in front of the court
house, where there was a gathering
of many thousand people. H. L.
Morey introduced Mr. Blaine as tne
most distinguished representative of
the policy of protection to American
industry. After the crowd had
cheered repeatedly order was restor
ed and Mr. Blaine said :
" Citizens of Ohio, it is now forty
years 6ince the question of a protec
tive tariff engaged the attention of
the American people as profoandly
as it does to-day. It was in the con
test between Mr. Clay and Mr. Polk
in 1S44 that the great national de
bate on the question took place and
the great protective tariff was defeat
ed, not by the popular vote but by
the bad faith oi the party which suc
ceeded in the election, and I beg to
call your attention the attention of
a large manufacturing population
to the fact that the poiicy of protect
ing American industry has never
been defeated in the United States
by a popular vote. Cheers. The
contrary policy has been forced upon
the people at differeet times through
the had faith of their representatives
but never, I repeat, by tne popular
vote upon a deliberate appeal to the
people in their primary capacity. It
therefore would seem to be the duty
of the people of the United States, if
by a majority they believe in the
policy of proteclion, to see to it that
the party is sustained that can be
trusted to uphold it Cries of
" Good' "Good," and cheers. "Yes
but" said a gentleman to meyester-
dap, ' protection does not always se
cure abundant prosperity. There
are a great many idle men now in
:he countrv." Well, grant it
There has nevi ryet been devised by
the wit of man tnat which will secure
through all times and all seasons a
continuous How of prosperity. But
the question is whether over a given
series of years there has not been a
larger degree of prosperity to the
people under the policy ot protection
than under the policy of free trade
The question is to be gauged and
tested not by theexperier.ee of a sin
gle year, but bv the experience of a
series of years. We hive had a pro
tective tariff now for more than two
decades, and I ask you whether
there has ever been another period
of years in which the United States
has made such progress as during
tbe last twenty years. "Never," and
cheers. But it is true, now and
then there will come a little lull and
a little re-action in business. There
will come a little iull and u little re
action in nature. You had a great
drought in Ohio this year, but you
do not on that account avow that
you will have no more rain. On the
contrary, you are the more firmly
persuaded that rain is the only ele
ment that will restore the fertility to
your soil, verdure to your fields and
richness to your crops. So, in this
little slough, this little dullness in
the business of the country, the one
great element that can be relied on
to restore prosperity is the protective
tariff. The question then, is for Ohio
to decide. On the 14th day of this
month you will have an opportunity
to tell the people of the United
States whether you believe in that
doctrine. If you do you will 6ecure
not only its coutinuauce,but its per
manent triumph. But if, on the
other hand, you should falter and
fall tack, it might produce disaster
elsewhere. The responsibility is on
you. Is your courage equal to your
responsibility ? "Yes, yes." Is
your confidence equal to vour cour
age? "It is, it is." Then I have
nothing more to say except to bid
you good bye." Cheers. j
THE U ELiiOllE TO PINCJNNATI.
At 0:30 o'clock the train ran into
the depot in this city, where a great
crowd had been waiting, by whom
Mr. Blaine was enthusiastically re
ceived. The people filled the streets
along the route to the hotel. At the
hotel the crowd called for "Blaine !"
"Blaine!" until that gentleman came
out and was presented by Judge
Foraker. Mr. Blaine said :
"I thank you and all the good
people of Cincinnati for this cordial,
hearty and magnificent reception."
The crowd cheered again and again
as Mr. Blaine retired into the hotel.
At G:39 Mr. Blaine was escorted to
the Exposition building, which was
already crowded. For a while Mr.
Elaine held an informal reception
in the commissioners' office, where
some gentlemen and many ladies
were presented to him. Then he
was escorted upon the stage, where
he made a speech, in which he
said :
" Ladies and Gentlemen : I thank
you for the cordiality of your wel
come. I am giad to be in Cincin
nati. I am glad to be able to recall
old associations and to form new
ones. It is forty years this yearj
since I first saw' your city, so I am
able to measure for f vself its mar-
vejous progress. I remember jt as
a cjty of forty thousand inhabitants,
and I see it to-day ai a city of four
hundred thousand $ a cfty' nop ouly
with all the grjat r;iilroa4 transpor
tation of the. country favoring its
growth, but connected with an in
land navigation of 20,000 miles, and
situate as near to the Gulf of Mexico
as it is to the AtlantiG Ocean, its fu
ture growth is assured. The gran
deur of its future needs no vouching
and no prophecy. I congratulate
you on what you have done, and I
congratulate you still more on whifJ
js oefore you." f
Senator ghermap, Judge Foraki-r,
and Congressman FolJetJ ajso ruade
remarks. After the speaking r
Blaine was given a complimentary
dinner by the commissioners of the
exposition. The occasion was non
political, and there was no speaking
at the dinner, at whjch several lo
cally distinguished Democrats were
present

a party should hold office to be cor
' " '
rupt The Democratic party bad
been an exile from office nearly thir
ty years, and yet iU corruption was
of "the most ulcerous kind, for all
that is left of it is its old clothes and
uppetite. The Democrats say office
holding has diseased the Republican
party. Office is a diease that you
know and I know Democrats would
be willing to double themselves up
with. They would be willing to
turn all the Government offices into
dispensaries and hospitals it they
could be permitted to be thus diseas
ed. The party has a natural adap
tion to illness of this nature.
There are two theories of govern
ment. One that this is a nation of
the people. THie other that it is a
cob house likely to fall to pieces if
any one Bees proper to pull out a
cob. The Democratic party holds
to the latter theory. By this time it
must know that whatever it theory
it really is a nation, behind which is
the citizenship of a great people.
"To day the Democratic party is
posing as the representative of labor.
This party might,with as absolute
freedom write the name of Benedict
Arnold on the Washington Monu
ment. If I had to live as the Dem
ocratic party does, in constant fear
of meeting some oue that is acquain
ted with me, I would go off in some
secluded spot and pray that the
Lord immediately avenge himnelf
upon me. The Democratic party is
agitated because the Republican par
ty talks about its party. The Re
publican party lives in the hearts
of the people and there will live
while memory holds its sway. ,
Out in his own state of Iowa the
speaker believed the people knew as
much about public virtue as Carl
Schurz. They had built a school
house on every square mile in Iowa
and enlisted an army of 20,000
school teachers to instruct the youth
of the state in knowledge, which
would lead thera not to join the
Democratic party. Out in Iowa it
was generally known who was the
governor of New York state, but all
that was known of the present gov
ernor, Grover Cleveland, was from
campaign biographies, from which
it appeared that he had been eleva
ted from mayor of this beautiful city
to the Governorship, because he re
fused to join the city council in a
steal on a street-cleaning coutract
of $100,000 in Wroad daylight. It was
a vtry creditable tiling, no doubt,
but the people out in Iowa thought
it very singular that a man should
be so much distinguished for refut
ing to carry off a red hot stove. In
the campaign biography, on turning
to the table of contests, tiie tpeaker
found variU3 little matters relating
solely to the history ot this splendid
city, such as the Mayor's actoion on
the Street CommisionerV horse and
buggy, the Watson street pump, the
intercepting sewer, etc. But the
present election was to be carried on
national issues, not on a question of
drainage or whether the street com
misioner ought to have a horse and
buggy, and the Watson street pomp
would, no doubt, take cars of itself
It teminded the speaker of a man in
New York, who was walking up and
down, carrying a placard advertising
tlie place of business and terms of a
chiropodist. The Democratic candw
date simply advertises the place
where his party expect to do busi
ness. The Republican party has
written every line of the history of
this generation and the Democratic
party has not even furnished the
punctuation marks. It put the
standard into the hands of two of its
most illustrious leaders, who are
now certain of election. The cam
paign will be lilted on billows of en
thusiasm, and when it is over a voice
will be heard, like to the voice of
the present Governor of New York
sounding from the Adirondac Moun
tains in the only definite utterance
he ever made, and saying that the
chief executive office of this coun
try is essentially executive.

manner in which he treated them,
and in trying trying to convict them
on trival charges. Threats were
made against him.
Yesterday morning an organized
attack was made upon the City Hall
by a mob. Judge Santos, with the
aid of 20 policemen and a number
of friends, barricaded the doors and
opened fire on the mob from the

street
The chief of Police was also killed

A Furious Cyclone.
Bbadkord, Pa., September 28. A
terrific cyclone passed over the
neiehborhood of tbe village of Alton
j fifteen miles sobth of Bradford, at 5
o'clock this afternoon. The approach

witness, was appalling, it assuming
the form of an inverted cone, with
the apex touching the earsth, and
rushing along at terrific speed. Its
path is supio8ed to have been only
about five or six rods in width, and
the extent of territory which it pass
ed over is not yet definitely ascer
tained. At Alton great damage was
done. A wagon bridge across a
small stream was lifted from its
foundations and landed severalrods
away. Phillips Bro3.' feed store was
the first building to encounter the
fury of the whirlwind. It was liter
arily scattered to the four winds of
heaven, not a timber being left to
mark the spat where it etoo'l. It
contained a large stock of flour and
feed, not a trace of which can be
found. The new Methodist Church
in the course of construction was
carried up in the air, and portions
of the roof afterwards found half a
mile away. Michael Uandrihan's
wooden residence near the depot of
the Erie Railroad was completely
wracked. It was blown from ite
foundations and landed on its side
two rods away. Mr. Handrihan
wife and four Children were found
in the ruins, greatly frightened, but
fortunately, not seriously injured.
Adjoining stood a one-story frame
house, which was unroofed and the
inmates more or less injured. Pat
rick Murphy's house was carried
away boldly, except the floor, upon
which, covered with debris, were
found Mr. and Mrs, Murphy and
their four children. They had just
sat down to supper when the wind
struck them. The house was torn
into a thousand pieces and the fur
niture carried off into space. Mrs.
Murphy was stripped nearly naked
her clothing being torn into tatters
by the violence of the cyclone. A
vacant house belonging to the Erie
Railroad Company was demolished,
and not a vestige of it remains. In
other portions of Alton not directly
in the path of the storm, largu trees
wore uprooted chimneys blown down
windows broken and much damage
resulted, Between Alton and Big
Shantv the track of the erie Railroad
was blocked by fallen trees, and tele
graph wires were prostrated in all
directions. The duration of the cy
clone was about three minutes.
Charles I,alley Slashed to Death at
t'nionionn.
Uniontowx, Oct. 5. A homicide
was committed in front of the Clin
ton hotel here last night. About
five minutes before 11 o clock Wil
liam Vandevere, a noted character
of this place, a plasterer by trade,
stabbed Charles Lalley, a miner at
the coke works of the Chicago and
Connellsville coke company, a mile
south of this place, killing him
almost instantly. He was cut in
two places, thiough the heart and
acros? the bowels. Lalley and one
or two friends had him in the Clin
ton house bar, but it is stated he did
not drink anything. After going
out they stood on the pavement and
were talking, when Vandevere step
ped off the opposite pavement in
the middle of the street and said
he could whip any ten men in
town in ten minutes. Lalley said,
"Oh, I reckon not," when Vande
vere instantly rushed at Lalley and
cut him through the heart and made
a cut at Jack Pegg, who was stand
ing by Lalley'a side, but missed him.
Vandevere then gave Lalley another
cut, which was inflicted through
the bowels. Vandevere then ran
out White street, eastward, toward j
his home. Lalley walked to the west
end of the hotel and fell dead.
Policeman Martin and Night
Watchman Tissue immediately
went in pursuit of Vandevere and
caught him just as he was climbing
over the fence inta the yard of his
residence in the East End. He was
brought down and confined in jail.
He was taken to where Lalley was
1? ing dead and made to look at him.
He pretended to be quite drunk and
not to know what was the matter.
By this time a large crowd had gath
ered around and many were the
cries of "Lynch him!" Had not
the officers hurried him off to jail,
which was not more than seventy
five yards from where the murder
was committed, he would have un
doubtedly been lynched. The
crowd that had in the few minutes
gathered was largely made up of
those who believe in lynch law.
When taken into jail he wanted to
know what he had been brought
there for, and when told, he said he
knew nothing of any one being kill
ed, and talked in a very sober man
ner, and showed that he was about
as sober as anv one.

Sua it la a Calsssa.
Havre de Grace, Md., Oct. 1.
This morning, about 7 30, it was
discovered by the foreman in charge
that eomething was wrong with the
air compressor worked in connection
with caisson No. 9 of the new B. A O.
R. R. bridge. An alarm was imme
diately sounded and the men called
up. In the flight necessitated by
the rush for the open air six men
were left behind in the air-tight com
partment Before anv one knew
with any certainty what was wrong i
the caisson careened over and filled j
with water the upper compartments, j
The air was filled with flying tim-;
ber thrown out of place, and many
narrow escapes from death are ri-'
lated.
Among the most miraculous was
that of Mr. Morgan, of this city, a
bridge carpenter, and for many years
engaged in bridge building. He
was employed on top of the caisson,
and seeing what was about to hap
pen, he sprang into the river and
was rescued by a boat His de
scription of the great depth he sank
before coming up is very graphic,
and his delivery from instant death
providential. The six men lift be
hind were in total dsrknes.- and
air was furnished them frofto two
pumps, which were kept constantly
at work, as a moment's stop meant
death to the prisoners. Men were
set to work at once to build a coffer
dam around the lock to keep the
water back where it was pumped
out Willing bands made rapid
progress, and the air pressure was
put to work to Moat the caisson so
the water could be pumped out and
the men reached.
At 12:30 tlie caisson had been
lifted with air forced in it, and the
water was rapidly withdrawn from
the outer lock, and amid an almost
breathless silence Foreman O'Brien
descended to open the door of the
air chamber, when he immeditely
signalled up that the men were alive.
At this General Smith, the contract
or, raised his hat in thankfulness to
God in preventing what might have
been a terrible calamity.
The men were in a very exhausted
condition from the great air pressure
that they had to endure, and weak
from the terrible strain of nerves in
passing through such an ordeal.
From 7;30 until 12:30, five weary
hours, they had experienced an eter
nity of agony.

Oskaluosa, Ark., Oct. 3. About
10 o'clock last night about twenty
aiiners were assembled in a saloon
at Excelsior, five miles south of this
city, when William Harrison picked
up from the comer of the room

and began opening it with his knife.
The can contained powder, and an
explosion followed, killing Harrison
instantly and seriously injuring 10
others. The saloon building was
torn to atoms.

before. To be sure, other campaigns
have been conduced with more
danger not only to the f.epubli-.

any noise can be; The republicans
must be prepared to meet these dark
