Go to the polls early on next Tues

get out every voter. We want Le
high to do better, and she can do it.
ME proposed Amendment• to the State
Constitution, which is to be voted upon next
week, will put the election of State Treasurer
the hands of the people and will be an ef
!active measure looking to reform.
HORACE GREELEY claims 300,000 Democrats
and Liberals in Pennsylvania. If that is all
they can scare up we can beat them by 50,000
majority. We polled 342,000 votes for Pr sl
dent Grant In 1868, and wo will poll 050,000
for flartrarift in October.
HORACE GRRELEY'S heresy teaches us to
love the men who attempted to destroy the
Government and hate the men who saved it.
Not only has General Grant been attacked by
Greeley, but be denounced unjustly, and In
terms worthy of Jell' Davis, the soldiers who
recently assembled at Pittsburgh. We don't
like that kind of reconciliation,

nis character is a bright contrast to that of
Wm. FL Witte.
SEND LN 'IF:TURNS. We hopc
our friends throughout the county
will use every endeavor to send us
the returns as soon altvl'th elec
tion as possible. We want,partic
ularly, the vote for . Governor and
Auditor General,Congressinan and
Congressmen -at-T arge.
POLL EVERY VOTE
We urge upon our friends to gel out every
Republican vote next week. If we do this
the Democratic majority w ill be cut down
very considerably. It may not give us any
advantage in the county now, but it will re
suit to our advantage in the future. The
smallness of the Democratic majority will de
pend entirely upon how well we get out our
vote: Wo have at least 5,300 Republicans
who ought to vote our ticket next week. II
we get all of these to the polls, the Democratic
majority wilt not be over one thousand. Is
not this worth working for ? .
HORACE Ganatior said, at Allentown, that
$476,000 is more than H. thousand men can
earn by years of honest labor. Divide the
Bum by one thousand and it will give $476 to
each man, an amount, Greeley says, it 'will
take years of honest labor for a man to earn.
Greeley might - consider $l6O or $llO a year
good wages for men to support, families upon
under such an administration as he would give
us, but under Grant our laboring men get more
than that. No mention this assertion of
Greeley merely us a sample of the wild and
Irresponsible statements he makes. Surely,
no man of Judgment can say lie is a lit candi-
date for President.
Hort. EPHRAIM L. ACKER Is out in a circa.

intelligence and ability which we naturally
connect with a Member of Congress. Olio
point he overlooked—that is, the Tariff ques.
tion. He refers to the purity of his record.
Well, It may be pure, but that is not enough.

A VILE SCHEME EXPOSED.
rorney's Press,in the present campaign, in
its attacks upon General llartranft,bas proven
itself one of the most unscrupulous, most in•
famous sheets ever published, oven excelling
the old Pennsylvanian, upon which Forney
achieved notoriety. The Press relied upon Dr.
Paine for a great deal of information upon
which to base Its slanders. It then sustained
Dr. Paiuc's character, although he was con
victed of the crime of selling bogus medical
diplomas. Paine, It appears, for some rea
son, fell out with Forney and was afterwards
heard to remark that Evans lifted $50,000
mortgage from the Press building. This fact
was published in the rinfiefin,when the Press
denounced Paine as a scoundrel and n liar.
Paine, It seems, was a good enough man for
the Press, as long as he lied against Ilintranit,
but the moment he commenced letting cats'
out of the bag against Forney, the l'ress could
find no words strong, enough to express its
outraged feelings. While Yerkes was kept
in the Penitentinty, the Press denounced his
confinement as only a means of keeping him
where the enemies of Hartranft could not get
at him ; now that Yerkes is released the
Press says that Y mites' denial o f the genuine
ness of the signature attached to the affidavit,
charging General llartrauft with malfeasance
in office,was the pricy of his ( erkes')pardon.
Whatever tin Press may say upon this sub
ject, we are confident Its assertions will now
have no weight with honest men. Mr. Yer
kes' statement, whirls we publish below, is a
sufficient exposure of the vile scheme concoct.
ed by plunderers to shield themselves from
punishment, and adopted by onscrupulim3
and characterless copperheads to defeat the
Republican party.
Mr. ) erkes' statement is as follows :
In coining before the people with this ex
planation, which relates to the charges against
Gen. J. F. Harwell ft, late Auditor General,
and now a candidate for Gavel nor of this
Stab!, and It. W. M.kelt”y, State Tremurer,of
having used through me the mosey of the
Commonwealth in stock speculations, and for
heir private needs and benefit, it is my desire
to make some plain statements which the pub•
lie demand, and which I believe it not only
their right to have, but my duty to diem and
myself to give.
I wish to say here,L s some wrong construc
tion be placed upon my motives fur so doing,
that this action on my part is without consul.
tation with or promise (loin any one ; with
out any inducements held o u t to 1110 and
without fear oa favor. It is free from an mid.
ice or feelings of resentment. I leave those
who have wronged me to their own rellee:
thins. It is simply for the reasons set forth
above, and to do justice to those who have
been unrightemsly vilified. Ido not intend
to enter into any personalities tt the present
time, other than what will be necessary for a
clear understanding of the matter.
While a-victim has been made of me, dupes
have been made of others by a few designing
no n, who used everything mud everybody
within their reach Tor the purpose of circular
hug and publishing assertions and statetnents
winch were false in the exit eme, with the oh.
ject of breaking clown the character of Geoer•
ul llartran ft, in the hopes of tit rehy prevent
ing his election, which they felt assured
would insure silence in regard to, and a set
tlement of, their nefarious transactions. This
was to be brought about princmally by Dr.
Paine, who, as nit financial affairs were un
der the control of Mr. Jos. Mason, Register
in Bankruptcy, obtained from that gentleman
an order to examine my honks and pipers, re
presenting' himself to be counsel for Mr. M.
W. Taggart, of Lancaster county. It wits
under this disguise that he visited my office
and surreptitiously obtained letters and mem
orandums of accounts—trout which the vari
ous misrepresentations were manufactured -
NV ith the view 01 compelling General Ilartratift
and Mr. Mackey to settle the Evans elaims,in
which he (Paine)is so deeply interested.
In the hollowing statement I shall not only
give my own testimony of the facts in the
case, but that of others, which shall be nude
niahle. •
The public have for a long time demanded
to know the truth as to the authenticity of a
certain affidavit alluding to General hart•
ran It's allgged multeasance in office, and
which bears what purperis to be my signa

The accusations that General Ilartran ft or
Mr. Mackey speculated with State tiuuls, or
that the accounts of money or I lie Common
wealth received from the State Treasurer were
kept in any cabalistic, or any other than a
proper manner, I pronounce utterly untrue,
and a pure fabrication. General Ilartranit's
account with me was of a perfectly private
character and had no connection with or rein
lion to the account of the Commonwealth
whatever, any more than though the State ac
count had nocheen kept with me. Mr. Marts.
ey never gave me an order to buy any stock
for his or any other account.
As Mr. Yerkes' books are in the 11:n1,19.1'1)1s
assignees, lie appends a copy of correspond
ence, including a letter from the assignees'
clerk, which proves conclusively that the ac
count of the State Treasurer was kept under
the title "R. W. Mackey, State Treasurer ;
it was not kept in any mys'erions manner, as
charged by the Press, but under a clear led •
ger heading of the party's came as State Treas•
urer ; that no account under the head of .1. F.
11. was kept, as charged by the Press, but
Hartrantt's account was kept under the title
of J. F. llartranft, there was no mystery about
it and the account was kept the same tis other
accounts ; that J. F. Ilartrauft's a.'connt tv; s
never beneffited by the transfer orstatc fonds,
as the Press has also charged. Ilere wehave
the certificate or Yerkes, and the letter of the
assignees' bookkeeper, certified to by use of
the assignees, totally disproving the charges
originated by Paine, and spread before the
public by Forney. We have In addition the
certificate signed by prominent bankers and
brokers disproving the genuineness of the sig.
nature to what is known as the Yerkes
nflida
vit. Can the people any longer doubt that
Forney is the rogue and that he is now' in an
underhand manner worning to defeat Grant ?
We think this efV!ctually',disproves all the
slanders againstllartranft, which have had
their foundation upon this forged affidavit mid
false statements of Yerkes' book accounts.
But we have one more word to say. There
appears to be a wide-spread impression that
Yerkes was convicted for using State funds.
This is not so. The charged was based upon
the use of Philadelphia city funds and viola
ting a law that applies. to Philadelphia alone.
Ills recommendation for p irdon was signed
by the Jurymen who \ convicted him, by the
Judges who passed seiitencoLdipon him, ,and
by a long list of sotto of the most mond.
neat men in Philadelphia.
Loox OUT for frau - as. A party that can
forge an affidavit to make capital against an
opponent, is'capablo of doing anything that in
Qlie•and mean.
THE LEHIGH REGISTER, ALLENTOWN. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1872.
HENRY WILSON is decidedly a Protective
Tariff man. Gratz Brown Is decidedly a Free
Trader, yet there nro ignorant, bigoted men
lu the Lehigh Valley, who owe everything
they own to a Protective Tariff, who will cast
their votes for this man in November. Hor.
ace Greeley has pledged himself to make no
recommendation in • favor of a Tariff. He has
also pledged himself to sign a Free Trade bill
whenever a majority in Congress will say they
want Free Trade. All this he has pledged in
the event of his election ;yet we have no doubt.
that Horace Greeley, a neutral on the Tariff
question, and Gratz Brown, an open Free
Trader, will poll a majority of from 500 to
1000 in this county. Does this not prove con
clusively that although this county depends
upon the continuance of a Protective Tariff for
its prosperity, it will vote at any time for Free
Trade? We think it does, though we need
no such recent proof to convince us of the fact.
In 1870, when the issue was fairly and square
ly made upon the Tariff question, John H.
Oliver, a Tariff man, with a widespread pop
ularity to back him, was beaten 141 votes by
Ephraim L. Acker, a life-long Free Trader.
Whenever the people of this county are called
upon to decide upon Democratic supremacy
nod Free Trade on the one hand, and Repub
lican supremacy and Protective Tariff on the
other hand, they will, as they always have
done, accept that contingency which is coupled
with Free Trade. We want no more talk
front Democrats in advocacy of Protection.
There is no sincerity in 'them. They love
their country ; they love prosperity, but they
love their party more.
Ir YOL:1: township is not fully
or; - ranized, go to work at once. Do
not waste a single moment. The
good time for Lehigh County Re
publicans is coming! We want to
make the vote this year count in
swinging Lehigh over into the
hands of honest men ! Therefore
see that every man on the Registry
is known to you, and that no illegal
votes are polled- The more un
scrupulous of the Democratic lead
ers boast that they will poll over
2.000 majority ! This forces from
us the gravest suspicions that they
intend to perpetrate frauds if they
can. . It will therefore be impor
tant that our Republicans have
good, active Vigilance Committees
at work from now till the hour of
closing the polls on election night.
JUDGE ID EREUR
No gentleman who ever visite] this city left
behind him a more favorable Impression that
Judge Meacur. llis genial manners won him
many a warm friend, and although it was not
proper for him to make a speech and reach
the popular heart in this way, the high esti•
minion in which he is already held by the
people of the State will lead them to vote for
him on the eighth of Oetobi r. The Demo
cratic papers, as far as we have seen, have had
no word of censure, no charges to heap upon
him. Be is universally regarded as an etni.
nently proper gentleman for the t l,h position
of Judge of the Supreme Court, and therefore
none can be found vile enough to attack. But
there is, therefore, danger that not enough
importance has been attached to the election
of Supreme Judge and many votes may he al
lowed to be lost. We urge upon those who
attend t h e polls that they allow none of the
are voted along with the others.
J .t ,12 ES S. 1111: RV
congralulate the Republicans of this

workingmen that they may be enabled to al,

facilities that a beneficent government has
placed at their disposal. There is no milk
and water shout him, but he is heart and soul
for the prosperity of the industries, the great
manufacturing, agricultural and mercantile
Interests of Pennsylvania. There is not n
man M o tile county who should not work for
his election from now until the close of the
polls on the 9th day of October.
\VI:: owe it as a duty to the sol
dii,rs of Pennsylvania to defeat
Buck:dew by an overwhelming
m ijority. Remember his Fishing
Creek (Amfederacy,his votes in the
S,nate apitinst, the soldiers, his
votes against the Amendments, and
lii conference with trait,..,rs at Ni
tglira
Lnss than two years ago Greeley solemnly
{lechired there was no office in tho universe
that would be any inducements to him to
forego or postpone protection to home indus
try. Ile lots sitter not only pledged ' , himself
not to veto nny measures which a free•trade
Congress might pass, but has avowed his b:
lief that taxation should be imposed for pur.
Imses of revenue alone, and Is to day, through
his permed organ, the Tribune, supporting
and trying to elect to Congress such notorious
champions of free trade a a Congressman S. S.
Cod
THE Liberals say they do not approve of
National interference with the State govern•
mints. Neither do the Republicans In affairs
,that are purely local, but when a State under•
takes to infringe upon the rights of National
citizenship of any of its people, then we are
fur National interference and National protec.
tiuu. We claim that tie right of such inter.
Terence and protection is guaranteed us by the
Amendments to the Constitution, a fact which
Greeley's copperhead friends seem to have lost
sight of,or do not Wish to acknowledge. •
Ynunes and :Niamey have been pardoned
and released. This is the first opportunity
Mr. Yerkeshas had to pronounce the slgna.
ture attached to what is known as the "Yer
kes Affidavit" a forgery. Several prominent
bankers of Philadelphia, with whom Yerkes
did business, also pronounce the signature a
counterfeit. Thus the expense incurred in
lithographing the affidavit and spreading It
before the people of the State, proves to be
money thrown away.
IN his letter accepting Bill,Blgler's place on
the Democratic ticket, Mr. Curtin acknow
ledged that he did not know much about the
political situation in this State. Ile therefore
called In McClure for his teacher. McClure
thought if he got Curtin all right there would
be no Republican party left In Pennsylvania,
but Alex has undoubtedly since learned that
the people have no more confidence in hie
teachings when retailed by Curtin, than they
have when they come from McClure direct.
ANDREW G. CURTIN has gone ever to the
enemy. It is a very unfortunate • move for
Curtin, but he will have no one but himself
to blame. Ills duty was marked out plain be
fore him, but thp alluring promises of Alex
McClure were too much for hltn. Aattranft
was a Curtin man and stood by the great War
Governor through thick and thin. Andy's
desertion to a life long opponent of the cause
of Freedom Is, therefore, more reprehenSible,
and It is especially hypocritical in him to base
the cause upon high moral grounds. We ac•
cord due honor to Curtin for his noble defence
of the principles of the Republican party dur
holt, the war, but be faltered when Johnsonism
was rampant and finally deserted to the ene
my, though fortunately at a time when his
going will find few followers. Andy Curtin
has done good service for us as a leader, but
now his rallying cry would carry us into the
ranks of our lifelong enemy and, thank God,
the people know right from wrong, if he
doesn't. His treachery to the President shows
him up in a bad light. President Grant stood
up manfully in his defence when the most
powerful opposition was brought to bear
against his appointment as Minister to Russia.
In the face of all this opposition, the Presi.
dent stood by him and proved himself every
incil.a man. Now Curtin goes for Greeley.
When Curtin set himself up as a great moral
reformer, he assumed a character that he can
not sustain. We would not take one single
laurel from his brow, and In memory of his
good deeds we refrain from referring to his
shortcomings. But lie knows that we cannot
look to the Democratic party to reform abuses.
All the advancement that has been accom
plished during the past twelve years has been
made by the Republican party in opposition
to every obstacle that was placed in our way
by the Democracy. Now Andrew G. Curtin
has chosen to place his mortal body im the
way of the car of progress by going over to
The Democratic party, but he must pot com
plain when it rolls over him and crushes him
along with his new-found company. Sum•
ner, the greatest American scholar, alongside
of whom Curtin is but a pigmy, attempted to
destroy our party, and failing, went to Europe
—what will Curtin's weak voice avail against
the overpowering voice of the people ?
CONGRESS:MEN•AT•LARGE
Little has been said in the present canvass
about Congressmen-at-large. They will exer
cise just the same important duties as District
Congressmen. They will help mould the pol
icy of the Government and it is of the same
urgent importance that we secure a good
working majority in the lower branch of Con
gress as it is that we elect our President. Be•
publicans must not therefore neglect to see
that every Republican vote is cast for Con•
gressnum-at•Large, They will. be voted for
upon the County Ticket and every voter mart
see that he votes this tieket. The Republi
cans have placed in nomination duce of the
best men in the Slate. Our opponents have
searched throughout the Slate for three men
to match them, and they have searched in
vain. Tliey scared up Dick Vaux, a foe to
the working than, an aristocratic boy of wind:
Hendricks B. Wright, a played out, imbecile
politician, and James Hopkins, of Pittsburgh,
the only one of the three whom decent men
can vote f r and then have any respect for
themselves afterwards. tin our side we have
lion. Lotnuel Todd, of Carlisle, of whom his
bitterest enemy is bound to speak with respect.
Gen. Charles Albright, a man whose pure
character has served as a shield to turn the
edges of the darts that have been thrown at
. him by vicious and unscrupulous political
Toes ; and Hon. Glenni W. Scofield, whose
simple denial of a charge is sufficient to brand
it as a lie, so high is he held in the esteem 01
all good men. Republicans, these are candi
dates who reflect the greatest honor upon
put, lienn party. See that you allow no neg
.leel to .leprice t h e so of 20,000 niajoray.

Ring be hurled from potter? Are you who
own your houses and your farms willing to
continue paying money out of your savings
year after year when you don't know what is
done with it ? When your stewards are asked
to give an account of the people's affairs, they
cannot give an account which th,y can swear
to as correct. One party places the debt at

Auditors had it $BO,OOO less than the actual
amount. Is this business ? Are your clerks

THE sworn ttistimouy establishing the fact
that Buckalew was not only to a of the Sons of
Liberty, but that as manager and adviser of

great consternation among his supporters. In

can carry the county by 2000 majority ! They
can't do it en less they resort to fraud and they
must be WATCHED. See that no fraudulent
votes are cast. Be sure of that, and, above
all, bring every Republican voter to the .polls
and then Lehigh will give a good account of
herself—a report of which will cheer the heart
of every good Republican throughout the
State.
WHEN Alex McClure was at Norristown,
the Philadelphia Post said "Michael C. Boyer,
chairman of the Liberal Clommitted of Norris-
town, presided at-the meeting. "We have
since learned from the most reliable sources
that Michael is himself the Committee, the
Chairman, the Secretary and the sole member
ship of the Liberal party in that town. The
thing's build upon fraud. •
('ONGREN'.MAN.
The Lehigh county Democrats sent a depu
tation down to Norristown, on Saturday lest,
to fix up the question which now divides the
party. We don't know where they 'met or
whom they saw, but they returned home with
the feeling that they would eventually triumph.
over their Montgomery compatriots and make
them submit to the fraud perpetrated upon
them on the 23d of September. Shake Dun
sicker appeared before the deputation and said
"die ling ishtoo pad ; you ought to get up a
new man." Nelson Weiser told him to go to
the Ancient Henry and informed him that if
it had not been for such fellows as he, they
would not have had any difficulty. Jake, we
understand, took the hint that his presence
did not have an acgelic influence, and accord
ingly hastily absented himself. We under
sand Hon. B. Markley Boyer appeared and
is the blandest manner apologized for the
gross insults that had been heaped upon the
Lehigh delegates by their erring sister Mont
gomery, and showed a willingness to eat dirt,
or boiled crow, or stump for Witte, or do any
thing else to secure harmony. Mr. -Charles
Hunsicker saw Boyer's position and, as he
does everything that Boyer does, made haste
to assume the same position. George W.
Rogers, Esq., always wis a gentleman who
loved harmony above all things else. During
the war he could vote in the interest of Jeff
Dania, and cheer for Lincoln after we had
won a victory, with greater alacrity than any
other man who ever inhabited the b lob°. He
made as strong a speech as he is capable of
making at the meeting on the 23d, in which
he denounced the fraud there perpetrated and
announced his intention of standing by Acker.
We thought he would repent, and we arc not
surprised to learn that he has. Who dee was
there we did not learn. Whether they met
anyone who had any authority to speak for
Montgomery we am not informed ; but we are
pretty well convinced that the biggest job
ever undertaken is to throw the Democratic
party of Montgomery county down upon its
knees before the eighth of October. If they
had a month before them their leaders might
teach them how to do it, but It is a new thing
to the common voters and they can't make
them adepts in so short a time as a week.
WHEN Horace Greeley got on Civil Service
Reform,Friday night,he referred to the defalca
tion of Hodge, and remarked that the Admin.
igtration had put him in prison and then asked
the people to he satisfied. " But," he said,
"we want more than that. But as be ac

will he depend upon his constituency, the

have we for Civil Service Reform from such
men as compose the Democracy of this
county? Look at their mismanagement of
our county affairs, where their accounts do
not show anything and nobody knows what
has been done with the people's money.
Look at the mon they select to fill high
and responsible official stations. Look
at the most ignorant men in Lehigh

IT is said the Democratic party selects the
most ignorant man in the county for Com
missioner so that the Court House Ring can
impose upon him and use him for their own
purposes. It is disgraceful that the people
tolerate such a thing. They will have some
developments some day that will make them
sick, but then it will be too late. People of
Lehigh county, you have not had a Commis•
stoner, a Treasurer or a Commissioners' Clerk,
in the past ten years, who could conscientiously
swear as to tint amount of the County Debt.
If you like simii a state of mismanagement,

THE LATE GOVERNOR CURTIN.
Front the llulletle.
WO have recorded the political suicide of
Andrew G. Curtin. With the proud distinct
tlon of chief leadership in - the Republican
party of Pennsylvania close to his grasp, he
has plunged over the treacherous precipice to
which he has permitted himself to be lured by
the false friends that have played upon his
own weakness, and he Is lost.
While the apostacy of Governor Cuttin has
failed to raise oven a ripple of excitement,
there is some natural curiosity among Buren.
fotmed to know what effect his desertion
has ,produced. We cannot answer this curi
osity better than by the following letter re
ceived this mo.nlng from a gentleman of
Bellefonte, who has peculiar opportunities of
knowing what he affirms :
" BsLLE.FoNTE, Pa., Sept. 25, 1872.—T0
the Editor of the livening Bulletin. Sin :
The Republicans throughout our State will
perhaps feel some interest In the effect likely
to be produced in our ranks, by the apnatacy
of ex-Governor Curtin, in this, his birthplace
and his home. Having been a life-long per
serial and political friend of the Governor, and
having at all times shared his confidence and
that of his political friends generally, I can
say frankly that the views expressed on the
receipt of the news by all his friends were
those of sincere regret for the Governor, and
that the feelings everywhere exhibited were
those of mortification and shame. Ills course
will not Influence five votes in the county.
Not a single Republican of any prominence
will follow him.
"There was held here, last evening, one
of the largest Republican meetings ever con-
vened in the county ; at this the Governor
was denounced publicly, and the whole as
semblage cried out Amen I
"Though Governor Curtin dies, the Re•
publican party and its principles still live, ra
diant and hopeful, the party here at heart re
solute in a higher duty to perform, though
the unfaithful have departed. You can say
to your readers that we are not daunted that
some have fallen from the Tanks, for we hear
from General Grant, passed a on; the line by
General Gunmen., those grand old words of
COMM Mid, 4 CM up the lines!' FORWARD
MAttcn I !' CENTRE."
THE SITUATION IN PENNSYLVANIA
A Lively nod Correct View orig.
A. Pittsburgh letter to the Chicago Inter-
Ocean Is to the following effect :
The Senatorial question is at the bottom of
the disturbance within the Republican party.
If Alex. McClure had not been repudiated by
his own party, for every office, and especially
for the United States Senate, there would
have been no Liberal Republican organization
In the State. If Forney had not been shut
out from any prospecbobtainiug the same posi
tion, as he imagined, by the Cameron interest,
there would have been no opposition to Hart
ranft within the party, at least none could
have prospered long. It became plain some
time ago that neither McClure nor Forney
could gain any personal advantage from the
disturbance's they caused, and both of them
have found it out. McClure has traveled and
consulted, and bragged and intrigued and
traded, leaving no stone unturned in his of
fc rts to have Liberal Republicans put lu nom
ination for the Legislature. He hoped to get
enough of them nominated and el, et .d to hold
the balance of power, and then he intend, d,
when the election came off, to unite them
with whichever party would take his follow
ere and himself as the price of ascendancy.
The Democrats saw his game. Is districts
where Republican success is certain they very
cheerfully nominate Liberals; but where they
have Democratic majorities they remorseless.,
ly cut McClure and put up regular Democrat
ic nomineees. This "Champion of Deform,"
as Train -like, he advertises himself, will be
lucky if he gets a single Liberal Into the Leg
islature, Forney has given up the active work
and there will not be a Forney man in the
Legislature, except by accidect. The next
Senator will be a Republican or a Democrat.
EIMEEMEM
seems to be regarded as an unobjectionable
candidate. The charges against his official In
tegrity are based mainly on the testimony of
one Dr. Paine, a notorious medical diploma
broker, whose shop, it will be easily recalled,
was shut up last winter by action of the Leis
lature. The same Paine has accused the Press,
Mr. Forney's paper, of baying received up
ward of $50,000 out of the Evans stealings, in
the way of having a mortgage upon its build
ings raised. The Press denies this in strong
tsrois, with the effect of breaking down the
testimony against Itself. Nothing has ever
thor‘r
though suspicion was thrown upon It. 1 The
suspicion, even, is fait disappearing. The-
Republicans who will vote against flattrauß
because they think him dishonest, will not
number 'many in the entire Stale, soil would
not of themselves affect the result. * * *

who trill vote for Greelty,and so against liar
tran ft, is not half so great in this State as the
ratio of Greeley Republicans in New England,
as demonstrated by the recent votes there.
There Is now and then a Liberal Republican,
but the aggregate is very small. This is un
doubted. The experience of all candid men,
and their knowledge of the political status of
their neighbors, coincides in testimony to this
point. Careful canvasses confirm it. With
respect to the incional ticket, there is no dif
ference among Republicans of Pennsylvania
that is worth counting In the contest except as
it combines with other elements •against liar
trunk.
On the other hand, the demoralizat ion in the
Democratic ranks in consequence of the Som•
ination of Greeley, and his failure to develop
expected strength with Republicans, Is eaten
sive and witithepread, and of itself will offset a
large share of the entire disaffection with Hart
ranft, if not all of it. It is probable that In no
State Is Greeley less popular with the Demo
crats than In this. It is not judicious for Re
publicans to publish names of Democrats who
a -e intending to vote for Grant, but every Re
publican knows such among his acquaintances.
They are generally quiet men, who think for
themselves, and do little loud talking. They
will go quietly to the polls, and give their votes
for Grant. Many more will stay from the polio
entirely. Careful canvasses have been made
in many places, and all show that the disaffec
tion of Democrats will be a force to give much
weight in estimating probabilities, Were it
cwt for the hope that Democrats have that they
may be able to elect Buckalew they would
have no energy at all to make a contest in the,
State.
