Victory is in the air ; victory for the whole ticket. Fall in, republi cans, and share the honor! With all their attempt at cheat ing and ballot-box stuffing, the Ohio Democrats could not steal the Leg islature. FoKAkER, the newly elected Gov ernor of Ohio, is on the stump in New York working for th success of the Republican ticket It is Barron, the farmer, against I'hilson, the banker. Will the farm ers of the county desert their fellow farmer to vote for money bags ? U. S. Sesatob Mitchell will make a speech in behalf of Colonel Quay at West Chester on the eve ning of the 2fth inst. Get out the vote, Republicans! We don't expect to poll the Blaine majority of 81,(X)0, but Col. Quay is entitled to a good old-fashioned ma jority. The Meyeredale Commercial pro fesses to be a Republican journal, opposed to the machine. To prove this fact it is supporting the Demo cratic tickfU Examine your tickets. See that no Philson "stickers" are pasted on them. We are informed that the Comnu rcUd will circulate thousands of Thilson stickers." Don't be cheated. Beware of bogus tickets! The Commercial will doubtless circulate a so-called Republican ticket, with the name of I'hilson in it It is desperate, aud must earn its pay from the Dmnocrats. Riei, the Canadian - rebel who waged a small war against the Gov ernment a tew months since, is to be hung for treason, the English Privy Council having approved the sen tence of death passed upon Lim. Any man who has sense enough to go in out of the rain, knows that a Republican journal does not sup port regularly nominated Democrat ic candidates. Perhaps the Com mercial thinks we are going to have a long dry spell. General Beaveb addressed an immense Republican meeting in Philadelphia on Saturday night last The old soldier raked the Democrat ic lines with shot and shell to the eutire satisfaction of the enthusias tic crowd of Republicans who were present. The argument over the transfer of the South Penn, to the Pennsylva nia railroad, was closed ou Satur day afternoon last before the court at Harrisbarg. Attorney General Cassidy making the concluding speech. The Court took the papers, and will render a decision within a few days. Has it come to this, that because he owes a few debts a man ia not entitled to office? If this be so, how many people in this county are eligible? The Commereiar logic boiled down amounts to this : "Bar ron should be defeated because he owes some debts; I'hilson should be elected because he is rich." IIone"T old John Barron's affida vit that he bad voted the Republi can ticket 6ince Abraham Lincoln's second election was a corker to the (k'mmercial. He is au older and truer Republican than is its editor, Rud h?s never deserted the cause he espoused. Vote for Barron, and sit down hard on the traitor who is trying to sell you out to the enemy. We were lately informed by one of the gentlemen (a Democrat) ap pointed by Governor Pattison to in spect the county Poor House, that it is in superb condition, scrupulous ly clean, every care taken for the comfort of the inmates, and that it is a credit and an honor to the county. For all of which the Re publican officials who have it in charge aie entitled to praise and commendation. The deliberate attempt to defame tke military record of Col. Quay, has been met by the soldiers of bis oil regiasnt, in the shepe of an td dresi appealing to every man who carried a sword or shouldered a mus ket daring the rebellion, ba his af filiations what the? may, to resent the attempt to destrer one whose gallantry and bravery were of so pronounced a type as that of Colonel iUMbem 8. Quay. Fo very -action of the Count, we have reports favorable to the election fBama and Custer by the usual Republican majority. The oovrae of the Com mercial has aroused public indignation and .Republicans are determined that they shall cot be injured by itt false pretence that t defeat them, would benefit the party. Similar argument were used by the same paper to defeat Genera1 Beaver in 1SS2, resulting in the flection of a Democratic Cover-! Jnor, who by Lis pigheaded extra . . .1 . teesun business cutv uio tax pacia ; many thousands of dollars; and nojlicioue prosecution ' against the edi living man has vet seen how the party is benefitted by being brought under the Democratic yoke. It is no answer to the Herald's expose of the costs the editor of the Commercial has put upon the coun ty by his malicious prosecutions against the the Poor Directors and Auditors to cry, '"you lie! you lie !" Let any taxpayer walk into the Pro thonotary's office and inquire for himself. The truth is easily ascer tained. There is no possible chance of the Democrats electing their candi date for Slate Treasurer or their candidates for county offices, but this is no reason why Republicans should stay away from the polls: no reason why Colonel Quay, John C. Barron, and Irvin Custer should not have every Republican vote that can be brought to the polls. Get out the vote, friends. Don't be be trayed by the Commercial' fate pretenses into the hands of your life-long enemy. The Commercial indirectly charg es John C. Barron with perjury in sweariDg that Le has voted the Re publican ticket since the second election of Lincoln. Defamation of character is common with that jour nal, but it should remember that when S. P. Snvder swore that his name was attached without his knowledge or consent to the circular issued by Mr. Smith begging for aid to carry on the prosecution against the Directors, he put that gentle man in a hole, and rudely shook up his character for veracity and integ rity. The victory in Ohio is complete. Despite all the cheating and at tfm ps to cheat by the Democrats, the Republicans have a majority of three on joint ballot in the Legisla ture and thus will be enabled to re elect John Sherman United States Senator. In Hamilton County the frauds were glaring, and the Demo cratic candidates for the Legislature were counted in. The courts have been appealed to and an injunction has been issued, restraining the clerk from issuing certificates of election to the Democrats who have been benefitted by the frauds. We know that the Commercial does not like General Coffroth, but it was guilty of a special meanness when it classed him as a third-rate lawyer, with the hope of boosting its malicious prosecutions against the Directors. The General did of fer the Act of 187S, giving Directors of the Poor SILK) per annum, in the case agiinst Ferner, and based a most ingenious and able argument upon it But then, you know, the editor of the Commercial thinks be is a top sawyer among lawyers, and forgets the adage the higher a monkey climbs the more he shows his posterior. Is its anxiety to injure Mr. Bar ron the Commercial shouts Demo crat and copperhead at him and scurrilously charges him with being disloyal during the war. Will that journal inform an anxious public where Mr. Philson stood politically during those stormy times, and whether be did not by his voice and vote support bis party in the dec laration that the tear teas a failure, and stand by it through thick and thin in all its efforts to make it so? What act of special loyalty did Mr. Philson then perform that separated him from his party, then denounced as ''aiders and abettors of the rebel lion," and that now eutitles him to the support of Republicans ? The story published by the Com men ial asserting that in 1SC4 John C. Barron, shouted for Jeff Davis, in the streets of this town.and would have been summarily hung by an enraged mob, but for the interfer ence of the late William H. Postleth paite Esq, is a malignant lie without even the shadow of truth for its foundation. No such occurrence ever took place as will be vouched tor bv scores of our citizens. A heart steeped in devlish malignancy coma aione nave invented thisj ' measureless and infamous lie. Its! Mr. I'hilson is a reputable man publication proves how desperate is J and a good citizen ; so is Mr. Bar the malice of the traitor who is try-1 ron.

Not a word of re traction, not a syllable of apology. not a sentence of explanation has yet been offered the public in ex tenuation of this outrage upon some of our best and most worthy citizens. Thtt reputatiou or character at no official in the County is secure, or his person safe from arrest, if the community continues to encourage and sustain so reckless and malic ious a journal of defamation. The Commercial is simply a de coy duck used by the Democrats in the vain hope uf luring Republicans into supporting their ticket when, if this can be done, a great Bhout will be sent up over "Democratic eains in Somerset County." We do not have many fears that this tail to the Democratic kite will lead any considerable number of voters into the Democratic camp. In 1SS2 the Republicans of this county kicked this Democratic emissary into its hole, from which it emerged last year, sneaked into the Republican camp and shouted with the lustiest Fancying that it had again gained a position in the Republican house hold, it is again playing the cut throat and traitor at the bidding of its Democratic masters, there is an old adage, "If a man deceive me once.shameon him; if he deceive me twice, shame on me." The adago is Spanish, but the application is uni versal, and we are fully satisfied that the voters of this county can not be twice deceived into the be lief that the Commercial is now, or ever was a genuine Republican jour nal. The Commercial keeps wriggling and squirming, ducking and dodg ing, twisting and turning, and bra zenly falsifying the record, in its ef forts to persuade the taxpayers that the late prosecutions ended in a glorious victory for it, and cost them nothing. Reference to the records show that in the caees against Reu ben Woy, Daniel Kiramel, Jesse Hoover, Alexander Koms, Directors, aud Franklin Launtz, Steward, for embezzlement and keeping fraudu lent accounts', verdicts of 'Not Guilty ' were rendered, and the charges be ing for Monies, the county must ay the route. In the cases against John P. Rhoads, Israel Emerick, and James M. Meyers, Auditors, the ver dict was "Not Guilty,' and the county In pay the rod." And also in the cases against Jacob K. Bowman, Joseph W. Meyers, and N. B. Pen rod, Auditors, the Same verdict of "Not guilty, and the county to pay the co.fV' was returned. In the lace of this record, what must be thought of the paper or of the character of the editor who persistently attempts to make his readers believe that these prosecutions have not put any costs upon the taxpayers. The Commercial is attempting to scare Republicans into voting for Philson by parading the expenses at the Poor House for the last two years as enormous, and asserting that if Barron is elected they will be continued, while the election of its Democratic candidate will reduce them. Every well informed tax payer in the county knows that dur ing the past few years,ex pensive but necessary additions.repairs and im provements have been made to the buildings. A new department for the insane was added, water was in troduced into and through the main building, and hundreds of sick and injured and necessitous loborers em ployed on the South Penn railroad, were cared for and fed. The im provements are completed, the swarm of. foreign laborers working on the road have left the county, and the expenses of the House will now be reduced to what they were a few years since. With full knowl edge of these facts the new Demo cratic onzan, if it could only get Philson elected, etands ready to claim for itself and him, the credit of reducing the expenses. How ail y and transparent the humbug vuu.a.i, .. .aw.uw.a f.st. requires no trained skill to run the Poor House or the county farm. - If honest, capable farmers are not fit merew! rant, and earn its pay from the Democrats by abusing Mr. Bar ron. It has been doing their dirty work all along. The jurors at the late court kicked it contemptuously, when they pronounced "Not Guilty"! the Directors it had vilified andjKU,ed slandeied for months, and the voters j of the county will on Tuesday next , emphasize" These verdicts when they J cast their ballots for John C.

The truth is, the whole af fair was intended as a boost to his own paper, and with the expecta tion of making money out of it The result is that the taxpayer have hundreds of dollars of costs to pay, and the Commercial has gone back into the bosom of the Democratic party. Qnay nl Kredertckubiire. The following letter has been re ceived by Chairman Leeds, of the Republican City Committee: Balttmoke, Oct. 21. William It. Leeds, Eq , Chairman lirpublican City Campaign Com mittee, Philadelphia, 1'a. Dear Sir: My attention has been called to an article published in the newspapers, and credited to the Lancaster Intelligencer, which does great injustice to Colonel M. S. Quay's conduet in connection with the battle of Fredericksburg, Va., and I regard it but simple justice to a bravo and true soldier to correct the false impression the article re ferred to is calculated to convey. Colonel Quay served with me, commanding the 13th Pennsylva nia Infantry Volunteers, aod shortly after the battle of Antietam he wts stricken down with typhoid fever of a very serious type, and when he reported for duty his condition was such that he was urged by friends and surgeons to resign which he re luctantly did some days before the engagement at Fredericksburg, but its acceptance did not come down until the evening before tt.e move ment commenced. The Colonel, be ing informed of the facts, made an urgent appeal to be permitted to perve me as a volunteer aid-de-camp His reouest was granted, and I take pleasure in saying, notwithstanding bis enfeeble condition, I was nevyr more faithfully or gallantly served. He was in the thickest of the action from first to last, exhibiting marked courage, coolness and ability, alike creditable to himself and his State. Not only that, he w:ts among the first to volunteer to attempt tiie res cue of our wounded, left on that bloodv field, under the enemy's guns, und the success of the under taking was largely due to his ef forts. You are at liberty to make use of this letter to refute the charge of unsoldierlike conduct on the part of Colonel Quay, inade.no doubt,unuer a misapprehension of the facts. Very resjecifully, E. B.

This morning after Mrs. Wittemeyer read her interest ing report on legislative work, Mrs. Hunt, who managed so well the movement for the adoption of scien tific temperence text books last win ter, advised the Convention to see that the law which they had been instrumental in passing was enfor- rced. ; Mrs. Judge Williams offered a supplementary resolution setting forth that while the state Union is ioyal to the JNational I'nion in its regular plan of work the former does not indorse the resolution adopted last year at St. Louis by the National Convention commit ting the State Union to the advocacy of a political prohibition part. Then for three hours a lively word joust ensued among the forensic Bntomartes of the Convention, .bin all, however, Mrs. Patton's pacific resolution that the Pennsylvania Union desires to go on recond as a unit in favor of prohibition princi p(ee, differing only as to the meth ods to be employed in carrying them rat, was passed and the ex citement quieted down. nf Hilled by a Panther.

A short time ago Jncob Womert, aged 70, was found at home. weltering in blood, with his wrists earned. He was out of em ployment, having lost his place as a messenger for the Read ing Railroad Company. It was thought by, many tti.'it Womert had attempted suicide; but the cutting remained a mystery.
