A political organization, composed
partly of Democrat, who are outspokeajN
in their opposition to l attiaon, has been
effected in the Eighth ward of Lancaster,
which is the strongest Democratic poll

Tub ante-war boast of the cbivalryi
fiat "one Southerner can whip five
Yankees," haa been amended a little and
made to signify that one Democrat at

for the time being.
To i outlook in Somerset county is
very favorable, but active, persistent
work must be done by every Republican.
We not only want to elect the county
ticket, but we want to give the entire
ticket an old-fashioned, rousing majority.
Delamater is growing in favor with
the voters of the State day by day, and
it only remains for Republicans to do
their whole duty and he will be elected
by the largest majority ever given a can
didate for (Sovenior in the State.
Swuetart Stonr being a candidate for
Congress and sure to be elected, his place
will have to be filled by appointment in
the near future. The prevailing opinion
is that Hon. J. 11. Longenecker, the pop
ular and able IVputy Secretary, will be
rouoted to the position of Secretary.
The Republican Congressional Con
ference for this district was in session
several day last week at E bent burg, and

the same result : Scull 6, Hicks S, Cessna 3.

can ticket and reputable citiaen have
been fiercely denounced as thieves, rob
bers, plunderers, bosses and the tools of
corroptionists. 1 et, as a rule, u.e peopie
have turned In dwgust from tbeae de
tainers of patriotic citizens, and elected
the objects of their violent abuse. We
think it will be so this year. Senator
Delamater is the specLU object of assault
Bat the Republicans of Pennsylvania are
nned to having their candidates assailed,
and will not go into the Democratic
camp this year.
Pesjutlvania is the lnntr Republi
can State of the Union. Capable of giv
ing a Republican majority ranging from
fifty to eighty thousand, we to-day find
Democratic journals and Democratic ora
tors proclaiming that she will elect a
Democratic Governor ; and it is hoped
that this mighty revolution can be effect
ed by the simple but dirty process of
throwing mud at the Republican candi
dates. This is not a novel kind of tac
tics, by any mean ; it is only a re-trial
of old, well-worn ami never successful
methods. The readers of history know
that Washington, Madison, Jackson and
the elder Harrison were thos assailed, as
mere Shultx, Porter and the earlier Gov
ernors of this State ; while Lincoln was
vilified as perhaps no other man ever
was. These are but a few dimples of the
victims of political lj ing, Knd yet these
men all gave the country and the State
adminifUations that are remembered
willi admiration and gratitude. Men,
conservative and good men, shook their
beads and doubted ; a few lent ear to the
calumnies and, to their lasting regret,
cast in their lot with the calumnatore,
while after events proved the ground
lessness of the slanders and gave the lie
to their concoctors. History will repeat
itself, however. The political Annaniaa
has come down to ns from remotest
times, and, we presume, will claim his
victims and his dopes while the world
survives. Had Mr. Delamater remained
in the walks of private life be would
probably have lived and died honored
by all, with a reputation against which
calumny bad not winged a single arrow ;
but, ambitious to serve in a public cbc
ity, he at once became the target for po
litical malevolence the mark against
which personal foes can safely erurt their
venom. A campaign of this character
never did and never will win while men
retain their manliness. lolincal scav
engers may revel in the slime and filth
they cast upon their adversaries, but the
innate, instinctive love of fair play and
manly battle of the average American
citixen will assert itself, and we doubt
not that now, as ever heretofore, the Re
publican of the State will prove their
fealty to party principles at the polls in
November next.

Ungual of Hon. John B. Robinson, who
has just Ik en notu!nafc-d for Ooi gress by the

P ft ESS COMMENTS.
Fromth New York Tribune.
The tariff of 1J come at an auspicious
moment, when the admission of six new
States give anurattce tbal a reversal of
policy cannot be expocted, in tbe Senate, at
least until tbe new measure has been fairly
tried. For at least lix year no change bos
tile to tbe protective purpose ia to be feared,
unless the results of the tariff shall greatly
disappoint its advocates. If industries cheap
en products, build up new employments for
labor, and broaden the horn- market (or ag
riculture and tbe mechanical arts, a grander
future tbau tbe count nr bas yet imagined
will confront those who may hereafter at
tempt to overthrow the protective policy.
From tbe Meadrlll Tribune-Republican.
To sum up with, Emery asks too much of
tbe public ; be asks intelligent. God-fearing
mo to believe bis senseless tirade of abuse
born of malice, steeped in wounded vanity,
and pumped full of tbe egotism of a man
ever posturing to attract attention. The pub
lic is lira ot Emery, if not entirely dirgut.
ad with bis fish-wife tactics, ud label
bins from nos on a brawling demagogue, a
proven conspirator against lb gxd name
and Same of worthy and reputable men.
Fsom tbe Haileton Stut Ini-I.
It Is tbe duty of the next Legislature to ap
portion tbe state into Congressional, Senato
rial and LegisHtiv districts. These ques
tion are vital to all of our district, and
therefore to tbe people. Tbe Republicans
will want a man In tbe Executive chair who
will not veto all their bills and call another
Motion to do impossible things. If Pattison
is elected an extra and very expensive and
iboliah session is inevitable. Elect D.-iams-ter,
and all our political right and privileg
es will be secure.

Governor Beaver's speech at the court
boa at last night was a most compete
squelching of tbe bogus reform admin iat ra
tion so blindly and unfortunately led by
Patliaoo. Tbe Democratic candidate bas
seen fit on several occasion to compare his
administration with that of Governor beaver
and other Republican Governors, landi ng
hia administration to tbe seventh heaven
and decrying tbe others. He bad actually
began to think that his own eUtemotits were
true, when Governor Beaver, in a clean cut,
calm aad dignified way punctured tbe bub
ble and laatliigbt held np the Pattisonian
adminiatrsUoa tothsaoatewpt aad ridicule
of all hoc eat men. And rigUt royally did
tbe Governor do it. His heart was in hi
speech, and be made every point tell. It
was a apeech that ought to be printed aud
placed in tbe hands of every voter In Penn

A mistaken idea bar obtained general
credence that with the ;xe f the Tariff
bill, and it principal clauses taking cftVct
oa Saturday, there will be a decided rop in
tbe priot of fogsr. While the bulk of the
Tariff bill does go into effect on the 6th,
there are three hems which are postponed
by it clauses until later date. Tbe tobacco
tariff" goes into effect January 1. tSdl, with a

A BIRD OF FILTH.
Hon. Marriott Broslus' Startling
Portrayal of Low Emery.
Hon. Harriott Broaius, the brilliant aad
eloquent Congressman from tbe Lancaster
district, addressed an immense Republican
na melting at Indiana Thursday eight.
Hiaaddresa was frequently interrupted with
enthusiastic applauw. In the course of bu
remarks he said :
The accusations of Senator Emery have
spent themselves and likewise their author.
There is no aspect of our politics more piti
able and more to be lamented tban the in
clination of the disappointed, armed with a
personal grievance, loaded to tbe muxxle, to
make war upon public men. It is doubtless
encouraged by tbe fact that public men can
not answer every slander that is put in cir
culation against them eaonot ran down
every accusation started by those whose
business seems to be to beat tbe bushes of a
public mun's whole life and if gams ia
started call it Try, Blanch, Sweetheart, little
dogs snd all to complete the pack and swell
the cry. a
roUTICtL CAKASCHA.
These scavenger birds in our politic must
be patiently endured, lor tbey cannot be
cured. They ought not however, to be en
couraged or multiplied. Tbe most loath
some bird of which we cave any account is
the carancha of South America, which lives
by picking the scabs from' back of horses.
It also pursues tbe carrion eating birds and
pester them until tbey disgorge the morsels
which they have eaten, which are greedily
swallowed by the filthy pursuer. If there
is a loathsome being on tbe face of the earth
it is tbe human carancha, the character
scavenger, who sucks the filthy satisfaction
from old sores and pursues other birds of
like ft-alher who are willing to disgorge tbe
half digested bits for tbe palate of tbe pur
suer. "It is recorded in history that Roman
Senator were willing without scruple to
sacrifice their reputation and that of their
relations if only tbey could make Cesar
odious. Humanity bas still to suffer tbe
reproach put upon it by those who derive a
malicious satisfaction In discrediting better
mea than themselves. In America to-day,
as in Rome 2 ") years ago, small men take
revenge on great one by soiling them with
tilth. In political controversy men do not
expect to be sprinkled with rose water, but
the slop of calumny, slander and vitupera
tion are only used by men of envenomed
and malignant dispositions who feast with
rancorous rapture upou the defilement they
create.
THE MARK OF GREAT5E4S.
"There bas hardly been a great man in
public life whose career, at some time or
other, was not marred by these scavenger
birds. Washington and Adams were branded
as traitors and demons. Thomas Jefferson,
it is said, was to the mothers of Boston what
Cu'ur de Lion was to tbe Saracen mother
they husbed their children with fear of the
political devil. Neither Lincoln, or Grant,
or tiarfieid, or Sumner, or Stephens, or any
of the ranking statesmen of America who
rose to eminence and took an effective part
in tbe contentions that settled policies and
established principles escaped the venom of
the slanderer's tongue. Even the immacu
late Emery is villitied, smirched and scan
dalized in the very prints that serve our
breakfast table with his filthy vaponngs
against Senator Delamater. He, too, has
realized that
" No night or greatness in mirUUty
Can censure Wape ; batk-wounded calumny
Tbe whitest Tirtue strikes. "
"It bas always been and it will never cease
to be a mistake for men to try to conceal
their own total want of consequence to the
public by trying to discredit men who are of
consequence.
"Goaded by a grievance, a wounded vanity
tbey seem insensible of the disadvantage
they are nnder. Like a man intoxicated,
they feel most assured when most in danger.
Tbe only equipment tbey seem to think
necessary for their work is first to become a
disgruntled ingrate. They probably remem
ber wbat all history shows, that the most
violent inquisitor Is me apostate and the
most vindictive prosecutor . is the renegade.
ftOUSTOIRU TO M-MEMBEa.
There are two things tbey do not remem
ber. One is that their dispraise may be tbe
one thing to be added to the praise of other
men to put above reproach the character
they assail ; and the other is that those who
bet-in a controversy by spat ling venom are
likely to end it by dying of their own poison
Senator Emery furnishes a most graphic U
lustration of this blindness, for no man can
contemplate his situation in tbe politics of
Pennsylvania without that feeling of awe
which effect one who approaches a death'
bed."
Hastings for Governor,
Philadelphia Iuuulrer,
General Hastiuga will not be a candidate
for Congress in tbe Clearfield district. He
dropped into town last night from Lebanon,
where he had been on private business, and
discussed the dispatches from Clearfield
which set forth the intention of the Repub
licans to run him against Kribbs, tbe man
who defeated State Chairman Kerr for the
Democratic nomination. '
"The dispatches contain tbe first intima
tion that I have bad," be said, "that any
such action was contemplated, and while I
am grateful to my friends fir tbe interest
thev have displayed, I am not and cannot
be a candidate."
"There seems to be an impression that you
could carry the district it. spite of tbe Dem
ocratic majority." was suggested.
"Well, I don't know about that but I
haven't any time to devote to a personal
canvass. I shall be occupied during the re
mainder of the campaign ia speaking for the
Sute ticket I was a candidate for Governor
but was defeated. This was ail right. If I
live I shall be a candidate before tbe con
vention next time. Iam not a candidate
for Congress. Meanwhile Ian a Republi
lican and shall go upon tbe stump all
through October for tbe Republican ticket.'
Th Franchise In Mississippi.
From the laniiaMT liiuinjr,
The Mississippi Convention for tbs pur
pose of revising the Constitution of tbe State
baa adopted the foMosing clause to go ioto
effect after Jan. 1, 1890. '
"Every qualified elector (hall be able to
read any section of tbe Constitution ot this
state : or he shall be able to anderstaod tbe
same wben read to bim, or gire a reasonable
interpretation thereof. "
Five year from be 1st of January next
this clause goes into effect. Cutil that time,
it is reasonable to infer, the present Miss
issippi plan " tbe revolver and tb shot-gun
are to answer. But when the clause goes
Into operation who is to determine whether
a voter understands what is read to bim, or
can gives reasonable interpretation to it? It
look very much as if It was intended to
give the white men in charge of tbs polls
tbe power to rule out under these clauses
the ignorant Negro vote and rale in tbe igno
rant whits vote. Such a pitiful prevarica
tion would disgrace a convention of Hot
tentots. . . '
Ha Must Leave ths State).
St. Pai'L, Minn., October 2 A conditional
pardon was granted yesterday to thomas
O'Connor, who has served twelve years of a
life sentence in the penitentiary at Stillwat
er. The petition for O'Connor's reltwse was
signed by all the jurymen who rendered tbe
v.rdict the judge who pronounced sentence
and Judge Severance, the prosecuting attor
ney in the ease.
The condition on which the librati$ is
granted is that O'Connor is to leave tbe state
forever. The crime for which he was sen
tenced to life imprisonment was the mur
der of his nephew twelve years ago. O'Con
nor was returning borne one dark night af
ter a drunken bout Wben h came to Mr.
Vaughn's residence, which was on the road
borne, he proceeded to make night hideous
with bowling. Hia nephew arose to put a
stop to the noise. A rough snd tumble
fight enmed and O'Connor was thrown upon
tbe ground, with Vaughn oa top. Finding
himself at a disadvantags, O'Connor pulled
out a jackknifeaod disemboweled yacghn.
IT IS ENDED AT LAST.
The First Session of theFlfty-flrst
Congress.
WasnrwuTon, Ovt. I. At C n'elork this
evenin; Congre?, both the Senate and
House, adjourned so die, after perhaps tbs
most important session ever held. Some
apprelianaioa was felt in tbe Hons when
Mr. B reck en ridge made a point of order
that I her was no quorum present. It was
feared that if he persisted in h:i course it
would prevent the completion of the formal
ities necessary to tbe enactment of the Tariff
bill into a law. Speaker Reed, however, re
ceived the a-inooncement from Mecretery
McOook li:at the Senate bad agreed to tbe
conference r port, and thai all that remained
for biin to do was to sign the bill. While it
bas been customary to announce the Speak
er's signature to the House, the best author
ities agree that there is no absolute require
ment of the Constitution or rules that this
must be done.
At precisely 2:t the Speaker affixed his
signature to tits big Tariff bill.
The formal resolution for a committee to
wait upon the President and inform him
that the House was ready to adjourn was
adopted. Mr. Allen, of Mississippi, got off a
little political speech denouncing the Speak
r and the whole Republican party, to which
Mr. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, replied. Tbs
report of tbe Wheat investigating committee
declaring the House postmastenhip vacant
was agreed to.
And at C o'clock tlie first session of the
Filty first Congress was declared adjourned
without day.
There was little done in the Senate at fire
minutes before 3. Tbe Tariff bill enrolled
was received from the House with the
Speaker's signature attached, and it was
immediately signed by tbe Vice President.
and sent to tbe President.
Mr. Harris offered a resolution (Mr. Dolph
being in the chair) tendering the thanks Of
the Senate to Vice President Morton for the
dignified, Impartial, and courteous manner
n which he had presided over tbe delibera
tions of the Senate. Adopted unanimously.
A resolution was offered similar in its term
by Mr. Ransom in compliment to Senator
Iogalls as president pro tempore, which was
also unanimously adopted.
The committee appointed to wait upon the
President reported that he bad no further
communication to make to the Senate, and
wben tbe hand on the clock dial pointed to
aix o'clock Mr. Morton rose and said: "Sen
ators: Before making the announcement
that will leave Senators at liberty to return
to their home I express my most grateful
appreciation of tbe resolution of approval
and confidence with which you have honor
ed rue," And tbe Senate was declared ad
journed.
Pattlson's Deeds.
Candidate Pattison says he wants to be
judged by his deeds. Let the men of the Key
stone state take bim at his word. Here is a
list of deeds done by Pattison wpile he was
Governor cf the state:
He vetoed tbe Soldier's Burial BUI passed at
tbe session ot 1 (..
He vetoed, on June 4, 1885, the bill granting
a pension to Jacob llurst.

lowing tbe Miners Commission 1H0 for
printing their reports, ike.
He vetoed, June 3U, l.SSo. the bill allowing
arbitration or dispute between corpor
ations and their contractors.
He vetoed, July 1, !., the bill granting a
pension to Mrs. Allice Care, widow ot
Corporal Care.
He vetoed, July 1, 1885, the bill granting a

vate 8. J. F. Mullen, deceased.
He vetoed. July 1, 1885, tbe bill granting an
annuitir to Catherine Page, widow or
Corporal Page.
He vetoed, July 1, IS50, the bill granting a
pension to ttlen Ncuinley, wiaow 01
Captain James Mckinley. ,
He vetoed, July 2, 1883, the bill " for the
better protection of tbe wages ot labor.
He vetoed, July 7, 138. tbe bill for the relief
of Lieut. Edward Marshall.
He vetoed, July 8, 1885, the bill for tbe en
couragement tt rorest culture.
He vetoed, July 8, 1885, the bill appropriat
ing $3,000 for the burial lot of tbe Scott
Legion of Mexican veterans.
He vetoed, July 9, 1885, the bill to encourage
tbv formation uf vu-operalire associa
tions, among farmers, mechanics and la
borers. '
He vetoed, July 9. 1885, the bill for tbe re
lief of Dr. W. J. Uaus, who attended
tbe 13 small pox patients among soldiers
stationed at Ml. Carmel.
He vetoed, July 0, 1883, the bill for tbe es
tablishment of scientific agricultural sta
tions. He vetoed, July 9, 18S3, tbe bill for the re
lief of Hiram Kuonce, father of private
Edward Kuonce. deceased.
He vetoed. Julv 9, 1885, the bill granting
$0,000 for tbe relief of tbe State Agricul
tural Society.
He vetoed, July 10, 1885 the bill for tbe re
lief of Oil. John Maxwell.
He vetoed, July 10, 1885. the bill providing
hospitals for tbe owl regions.
He vetoed, July 10, 18S5, bills extending aid
to hospitals at Wilkesbarre, Cjrry,
Johnstown, Harrisburg. Williamsport
Allegheny and Pittsburgh.
By these vetoes it will be seen that Robert
E. Pattison. the AUTOCRATIC ARISTO
CRAT, bad nothing in common with tbs
SOLD1EB, tbe MINER, the FARMER nor
the LABORER.
Republicans are perfectly willing to take
bira at hia word and judge him by his
DEEDS.
Robbed of SIO.OOO on a Train.
FimocBua, Pa , OjI. 2. To-day while J.
K.Gardner, an extensive lumber dealer of
Rideway, Pa., was returning from the East
Liverpool 1Q ) Fair he wa relieved of $10,
000 on the train. He bad been talking some
what loudly at the Ohio races, and was, no
doubt followed to tbe train by a gang.
His destination wa Allegheny City and
when Washington street was reached some
smoothly dressed brakeman called out "Al
legheny." Gardner jamped to his feet and
started for the door, but was immediately
jammed into a corner by several men, who
wanted to get off at Allegheny City. He
apologized to one of them, after a quarrel,
during which Gardner said tbe other fel
lows' hands were in his pockets.
After tbe city proper was reached Gard
ner found he bad apologized to soon. His
pocketbook, containing $10,000, the proceeds
of a recent lumber jale, was gone, as also
was tbe gentleman to whom the apology
wa due. The police are looking up the
robbers, but Gardner ha no reasonable de
acription of the robbers. This is the fourth
affair of the kind that has lately occurred
here In tbe city, tbe victim Invariably being
a stranger. '

Visitors to Pittsburgh Exposition
Can Make $50 Clear.
Last year it cost us upwards of $2,000 to
exhibit at the opening Exposition. We
have been kept so terribly busy this sum
mer, however, in selling our Pianos, and or
gans, and Banjos, and Mandolins, and Gui
tars, and Brass flouts and Sheet Music, that
we actually found no time to get up an ex
hibit for thin year's show. However, we
propose to give our customers the benefit of
this great saving, so that auyone who will
buy a Piano, or Organ, or any other instru
ment during the continuance of the Fair,
will get the benefit of an extra reduction in
price of goods of 5 and 10 per cent. Visitors
to . the show can therefore make some f-V)
by calling on H. Kleber A Bro's Music
Store, 500 Wood Street, and buying one of
their instruments. Kleber's is the oldest
Music Store west of the mountains aud the
most reliable one too. They give a full
warrantee for 8 and ID years, and sell 011
easy time payments. Ninety persons out of
a hundred would rather trusi to Mr. Kleber's
choice than to run tbe risk of the sharp
tricks practiced by so many music dealers.
Kleber Bro., have kept a Music Store for
fifty years, and they had the first choice of
all the Pianos and Organs in the country,
leaving the indifferent and oor ones to be
picked up by the other music dealers. They
are the sole agents for the famotii Steinway,
Conover, Gabler, ( perm and Emerson Pi
anos, also for the wonderful Vocation
Church Organs, and the mouse and dust
proof Eirhuif Parlor Organs. Anything in
the "jusic line which you cannot get at
Kleber's i not worth having. Don't fail to
call at Kleber's, then, oOU Wood St., three
doors above 5th ave., Pittsburgh, Pa.
