Republicans of Tioga! Before the October
election took place, of the nation were
fixed upon the old Keystone State as the battle
ground between Freedom and Slavery. There j
was a reason for this.; Heretofore in onrna-l

to the rest of fhe Union. We met-the enemy
and came off victorious . It Was no barren or
doubtful victory! Never before in the history
of parties has (there been such a decisive tri
umph on the eve of a Presidential election.—
The returns fijom ourgtate astonished the peo
ple of all the other States. .Politicians who
were buying and selling the anti-Lincoln votes'
in New York antf elsewhere like any other mer-
stopped for $ while in despair, and
then returnedjto their Tirty work again “like a

JZS'- The Baxxeb Towxsmp.—Cold Spring ton
ship, Lebanon Co., claims the honor of being* the ba
ner township. Cnrtin, Killinger and the entire K
publican ticket received a unanijmous vote; not a si
glo vote was cast for the Democracy. —Hurrishu
TeUyrnjih. 1
Elk township in this county has better date
to that distinction than Cold Spring, as she h
given the entire Eepublieanl ticket a unanimoi
vote for a nnmher of years past. Osceola tow
ship gave 82 votes for Governor, 76 of them,
92.6 per cent, being for Curitin. Clymer tow
ship in this county which gave 154 vptes f
Governor at the late election, gave Curtin 14
or 91.5 per cent, of them. The town of Lero
in Bradford county. Pa., ait the late electii
gave Cnrtin 200, and Foster 2 votes. In 18!
Buchanan had one vote, and Fillmore }iad oi
vote. Understanding that ! in the rest of tl
State the Bell men land the Democrats tad m
ted, these two voters “ fused ” and went f
Foster. If you want banner townships, con
ties or districts, yon must come up North f
them, Mr. s Telegraph. ■ !
BgsL. In our first: article on Potter Conn
Politics we stated that H. J. Olmsted, Esc
spoke to^Mr. 'Strang in behalf of the Publish
of the Journal to iknow whether he (Stran|
wanted his tickets printed in Potter county i
not. Mr. Strang replied that if the ticke
were printed and distributed with the othe
they would be paid; for. The tickets were m
printed as agreed, but Mr. Mann’s tickets we;
printed in their place. We asked an explan;
tion of this, and Mr. Olmsted favors up with
loiig letter reiterating the .points made by tl
Journal on the Representative question,! alread
fully noticed in these columns. In jitstice i
Mr. Olmsted we make room for that part of h
letter which is personal to himself: 1
“.And now a word as to the printing and oil
oulating of Messrs.'Strang and Elliott’s tickel
in this county. ■ j
“ Mr. Chase, the editor of the Journal came s
me near the end of our September ierm q
Court and wanted to knowi whether Messrs
Strang and "Elliott desired;that their!ticket!
should he printed; and circulated with ou|
County and State ticket. >1 told him; that]
would see Mr. Strang about it. I did so, ant
Mr. Strangf after complaining a little 'of thj
coarse of the Journal in relation to him,; said |
they were printed and circulated with the rest
ha would pay for !the printing. I told Mil
Strang what the feeling was in this county, anl
that I did not know what conclusion would b|
arrived at in the premises, but that as the weel
had nearly passed .and nothing had been done
I presumed nothing would |be done, and tha
the Tioga Ticket would be accepted. The nex
Tuesday morning the conferees who were a™
pointed by our Convention decided to have Mb
Mann’s Tickets printed ins ead of the | Tiogi
Ticket. At Harrison, on Th iwday of the same
week I saw Mr. Gardiner, candidate for: Audi

One Decent Democratic Pater.—A late is
sue, of the Cleveland Kational Democrat has the
following manly apology far having done Ca r l
Schnrz unwitting injustice hy puhlishfng the
alander of the New York Express:
It seems that Schurz was commenting on a
speech of Mr. Douglas, |s and give what he
claimed was a fair deduction, faora the Little
Squatter’s speech, comprised in the obnoxious
sentiments which, clipped from their contest,
and without a word of; explanation, made'
Schurz utterer of the sentiments as his own.—
The facts being, in brief, as we state them,
Shurz is entitled to the correction from all who
published the extract, which wo did, believing
it at the moment genuine. The fellow who first
cut it put and published it, did a contemptible
act, in comparison to which the robbing of a
hen rojost is a virtue, for want might be plead as
an excuse for the latter, while for the other no
excuse can be offered.”

IS A FIRKIN OF TIOGA COI XIY BUTTER AS “ ISCKS
' DIARY DOCUMENT?”
! Editor or the Having formerly
resided in your county, and understanding full
well-tike causes that haffoj been mainly instru
mental in making that county what it is this
Say politically, I take the liberty of addressing
for the purpose ofdnfOrming you how Ti
oga county Republicans are sometimes notified
[that they are under par.
' Dr. James Locke, a native of Tioga Co., Pa.,
now a resident of Williamsport and a most ex
cellent man by the way —although a bachelor—
having lost his health thrdugh close application
to his profession, (dentist) and being able to
afford it, last winter wentjto Florida 'and spent
several months in a small 'village of that State,
lie returned to Williamsport as the weather be
came warm very much improved, and hoping
ultimately to Recover his beelth entirely, by
continuing his residence in that State, set about
making arrangements early, that he might bo
comfortably fixed, in his [Florida home before
the weather would become disagreeable. In
conversation with the Doctor in July last, he
told me he should send a [keg of Tioga county
butter (together with other articles he named)
to be used by him while [there, as his Florida
friends could not furnish ibutter that be could
eat. According to his dbsign he shipped the
butter &c. to the place selected, where he de
sired to winter, and within a few weeks intend
ed to start himself. It appears however, that
this firkin of butter, like the cow at Harper's
Ferry, frightened the inhabitants amazingly.
Whether a meeting of citizens was called to in
spect this firkin or not, we are not informed,
but this thing was done; The Doctor received
notice by letter that as he was suspected of be
ing an abolitionist he would not be permitted to
remain In that place, andi advised, him not to
come.

THE , STRAIGHT DOUGHAS TICKET.
"We receive letters from|all parts of the State
protesting against the withdrawal of the straight
Douglas electoral ticket. Many of these letters
are signed by the Democrats who have figured’
in the fore front of the party for years. _As a
specimen of the feeling, that animates the
masses of the Democracy in one of tb6 heaviest
Democratic counties of the State, we direct our
readers to the communication signed “W.,” in
The Press of this morning.
Another Democrat writes from Eric as fol
lows : ! :
“I see by a‘telegraph in to-day's Buffalo. Ab
rams that “'the Douglas State Central Commit
tee have Withdrawn the, straight ticket, and
pledged themselves to the Heading electoral
ticket.” Is this bo? Must the Democracy be
pushed to : a choice between] the two interven
tions? I had hoped fervently that the poor
privilege of at voting upon principle,
though with but a forlorn hope of success, would
be left to the adherents to Democratic princi
ples. If'the choice, however, is unavoidably,
the old “proviso” doctrine, with either a white
or black garb, I for one, shall prefer the white,
and stand by free institutions. If I must be
sectional; I will not turn my back upon my own
section.”
And still another addresses us from Easton,
in terms of manly indignation, insisting that
the straight Douglas ticket should ajt once be
put in the field, in order to allow honbst Demo
crats a chance.to express their sentiments.
We think it right to reprint the following cor
rected' copy of the straight Douglas ticket, put
in nomination by the same committee which
has now formally withdrawn it, for die benefit
of desire to have it printed and voted
in their l respective election districts:

PALMER'S PORTABLE
CHALLENGE
CLOTHES DRYER I
EQUALLED BY NONE—EXCELLED NEVER.
READ the following enumeration of adcautnrjea
over any Dryer ever before offered to the public.
The truthfulness of its claims to these advantages can
bo attested by hnndpeds who have used them :
Ist. The facility for spreading at any point of eleva
tion most convenient for hanging on the clothes, and
Iben gaising by a simple, yet powerful hoisting jack,
well up and out of the way. All will readily gee the
great importauco of this arrangement. Many station
ary machines ai*e fitted up with a rack and pinion,*or
other expensive and cumbrous devices, for raising the
frames, costing from $lO to §2O. Hut here wc get this
very desirable facility in a manner more effective abd
simple than ever before devised, and that in connec
tion with the Portable Dryer, and all at an expense
hut nominal. Dryers without this, necessarily bring
the clothes so low as to bo in the way of everything
passing beneath, and yet so high as to make the hang
ing on and taking off the clothes, a work of labor and
inconvenience. For instance, to take off frozenclothes
in winter, from a common line, in easy reach, is bad
enough, but when it has got to bo 'done standing on
tip-toe, and reaching up, it is tedious.in the extreme.
The Challenge Dryer can bo lowered as easily as it can
be raised, by the'samc jack, so as to come within the
reach of a child. The operation of hoisting and
lowering is as simple as that of working a pump han
dle.
2d. The lower end of the center shaft or post, has
fitted to it a taper iron thirahlo, fitting into an iron
socket, letjuto the ground so that when tho ma
chine is set up, ithas a joint as solid as iron can make
and which is only improved by wear. Tho socket is
so made as to act as a cap to preserve the post, and,a
ring to prevent, its «.EpUUiDg, and is provided with, a
cover, to-keep out water, snow and dirt. A flange on
the thimble sheds the rain, so as to prevent the watfer
from getting into the socket when the Dryer Is set. ef
fectually precluding f the possibility of its getting fro
zen in.
3d. It is the best made, and most durable machine
over offered to the public. The hubs are iron—no
splitting —no shrinking by the weather—go as to bind
on to the post. Tho iron work is covered with
vy coat of varnish, thoroughly baked .on. The arms
pnd braces are joined to*lhe hubs in a manner defying
comparison, for simplicity, strength and durability. —
The cord and timber are of the best quality, and put
together Tn the most substantial manner.
•Ith. In revolving, it runs iron on iron, hence re
volves very easily, n breath of air being sufficient to
set it in motion, and new portions of the clothea are
constantly being presented to the wind and sun, and
tho process of drying gfies on very rapidly, and clothes
'•will dry one-third quicker than on the straight line.
6th. In case of threatened rains, or in cold Weather,
tho Dryer cun.be folded up with the clothes on, and
taken into the house. If desired, it can be set up in
the house in rainy or inclement weather. It requires
shoveling of paths, or wading in snow or wet grass,
us tho operator can put tho clothes without moving
from tho ordinary path or-stobp, ns the case may be,
ns being portable, it can be setup where a stationary
Dryer would bo in the way. Thousands have lost
health and life, by exposures in snow and imperfect
paths or wot gross, which this Dryer renders unneces
sary. * _ -
This is no humbug, but a substantial, staple ma
chine, filling one of the most palpable and every-day
wants of every family in city and country. Nothing
can exceed tho favor with which they are received,
