The TV rone Herald of last week hue
a column of abuse of Geo. F. Miller.
What's all that rumpus about neigh
bor, wouldu't Geo. F. bleed ?
Robt. M'Farlaue.
We put some questions last week,
relative to the position of this gonue
mau. should he be elected to the legisla
ture. ..•!
There comes no answer, he is silent,
his friends do not even speak for him.
Democrats can't go for M'Farlane,
and honest republicans may regret
their vote should he be elected.
John F. Potter.
John F. Potter, the democratic
nominee for district attorney, hails |
from the best of democratic stock. He |
sustains an unblemished character, he
has fine abilities, and the advantages
of having obtained his legal oualifica
tions in one of the best law-schools in j
the United rotates. i
Mr. Potter never was anything but
a straight-out democrat, e ask the
democracy to work for the election of .
this deservingana honest young demo- <
crat. Give him every vote. - i
Falsehoods.
The opposition are busy circulating
stories against that man of unblemish
ed character, Col. Weaver, democratic
nominee for treasurer, in order to mis- <
lead democrats, and elect Mr. Byard. ,
Democrats place no confidence in these
sayings, but vote solidly for the brave
Col. Weaver,—he is deserving the
place —he is poor but of the strictest
honesty and most unblemished charac
ter. Don't trade o!f Col. Weaver. ,
S. F/Foster.
If ever there was an opportunity to
elect a man as county commissioner
who would emphatically be the right
man in the right place, now ie the
time, by electing Samuel F. boater.
Tax-payers look to your interest, in
this important office, if you neglect to
elect the proper man, then you are to
blame for the consequences. \ ote for
Mr. Foster, let not a single democrat
stay at home, Mr. Foster's election
alone is worth every effort.
Turn Out!
Democrats the radical* are making qui
et < fforts to carry this county, by bringing
out their forces, thinking that many of you
will not come to the polls. Democrats
come up to the work, as in days of yore,
and do not let the ticket suffer, because you
may have objection to a single one of the
nominees.
Don't Trade!
Democrats, we understand that trading
i# being resorted to in order to defeat our
candidates for associate judges. Col. Love
and Capt. Dopp. Trading is also to defeat
our gallant and honest nominee for county
treasurer, Col. Jas F. Weaver, the soldier,
patriot, honest roan and Christian. Put
your foot upon this outrage. Democrat*
awl give him your united vote.
Trading is also going on to defeat our
nominee for county commissioner, Samuel
F. Foster, than whom a m<e capable man
could not have been nominated. He will
make one of the best county commissioners
this county has elected for twenty years.
Ho is a thorough business man, knows the
duties of the office, and is deeply wedded
to the interests of the people of our county.
Democrats, honest tax-payers of old Cen
tre, you cannot afford to have a gentleman
of Mr. Foster's worth and capability de
feated. Vote for him, work for his elec
tion, and you serve your own best inter
ests.
Don't stay at borne, Democrats, on elec
tion day, because some man on the
ticket may not suit you, but come out, and
if you c in not be reconciled to the person
that don't suit you, why come, and give
your vote to the state ticket and the other
good men upon the county ticket Don't
make the whole ticket suffer on account of
one man, by so doing you punish the inno
cent with the guilty.
The radicals are resorting to every ima
ginable device to distract our party on the
day of the election, hoping if tney can cre
ate diesentions in our ranks, to secure some
portion of their ticket. A most villainous
trick, we understand, is going to be resor
ted to by them on the day of the election
to secure votes for M'Farlane. They have
prepared petitions to the Legislature asking
he repeal of the law library which they
are going t<> have kept at the voting place
next Tuesday and which democrats and
radicals are both to be asked to sign, hop
ing by the excitement and discussion
which will there be evoked to secure some
odd votes for their candidate. Let demo
crats beware of this trick, and have noth
ing to do with it
There will be no fraudulent allowance
often per cent, commissions on claims
which Evans never collected should
the people elect General M'Candless
to the office of Auditor General.
The laboring men of Pennsylvania
are asked to endorse at the coming
election the infamous tariff policy
which robs them of the fiuits of their
toil in bounties to overgrown and pleth
uric monoplies.
The Colored Troop* Will Fight
Brarety.
The radical* in this county arc in
expectation of electing M Kirllno for
assembly, because a few democrats are
dissatisfied with Mr. Meek. W . toll
these chuckling rads plainly that they
are doomed to disappointment, and
will tell them further they will got
their eye-teeth cut through the colored
voters of Hellefonte, and it these ' .jo
back on them" in this election it
servos them right; we cannot think
hard of our "colored hrethern it they
go for Meek, and thus more than
doubly ntake up the loss of votes he
may sustain from derelict democrats;
it will plaiuly show that a colored \
|r will remember a bouet'aetor and
not "go back" upon a friend, a trait
of character which is occasionally
found missing in *o*w white men.
We have good authority for saying
that the colored vote will g" largels
for Mr. Meek, and we put this at our
uegro worshiping rads with a chuck
and only laugh in our sleeve, t
Sambo going back on the hypo
critical abtilitiouist-s ot Centre county
a# many of them have already gone
hack upon the carpet hugger- in the
southern states. We are not to blatne
for the colored men being voters, neith
er is it for us to scold if it turns out
thev have the good judgment to know
that the democratic party presents
nominees whom they have rea-ou to
support in preference to those upou
the radical ticket. The colored men
of Centre couuty can not refuse to vote
for Mr. Meek, he has beou their friend
and benefactor, when radicals refit- -d
them assistance, aud it would be very
uugrateful iu that clement to do so,
when he has so generously given them
the use of his hall, free of expense, for
their balls, and for other gathering-,
during the present summer. Were is
there an instance, ye sons of Africa,
where oue of your number, iuside the
last quarter of a year, got into a "tight j
place," and on making application to
a white radical for help, you were not
kicked out of his presence ? If he
went to P. Gray Meek for hail, did he
not without a word of hesitatiou take
his pen and put his autograph on
your paper and thus keep you out of
I a pinch ? Bill you go back upou Mr.
- Meek ou the 2nd Tuesday of October
if vou do, then little are you worthy
j * *
being niggers, and your faces should
pale with shame. He allege that Mr.
Meek has befriended your race, very
recently and we cite here as proof the
uncontradicted rumor of the day : that
be has generously placed his magnifi
cent hall at your disposal, all this sum
mer, free of charge; this needs no
further proof, for you were all there J
and baJ the benefits of it. But the
REPORTER does not mean say thaj
you shall vote for any nominee upon
our ticket because ot such reasons, and
as given in the light of a consideration
for your vote, that would be a mean and
unprincipled motive, and equal to
charging you with bartering away
your franchise for the free use of a hall
or because one might have become
standing bail for your race —uo, but we
believe you, brave "colored troops who
fight nobly" to be actuated by higher
motives and a nobler sense of honor.
He have one parting word to say to
such colored men who intend voting
a part of the democratic ticket, and
that is, not to listien to any miscon
struction and misrepresentation by
radicals, of one of the resolutions con
tained in the democratic platform,
when you are about to cast your votes
for Mr. Meek ; we here give you the
resolution, so that jour pretended
friends cannot bamboozle you, and we
tell you here it is the platform we en
dorse, and if any radical attempt* to
say it is an act of the legislature by
which you must votes for M'Farlane
instead of for Meek, then call such a
radical a liar right in his impudent
face, aud give the REPORTEK as proof.
Now here is this democratic resolution,
and do not listen to any radical expla
nation of it, but vote for J/r. Jfeek in
pite of radical lies :
Rct-jltcd, That we are opposed to the
mingling of inferior and superior races,
either irj the elective franchise or hy mis
cegenation ; and that in the division of par
ties, we are in favor of keeping the white
democracy in the on<- and the negroes and
their equal in the other.
Woman Suffrage.
Judge Underwood, United State* Dis
trict Judge for Virginia, ha* written a let
ter in which he says be feel* very confident
the fourteenth and fifteenth amendment*
of the United State* Constitution, together
with the Enforcement act of May 31, 1871
have secured the right to rote to the fe
male citizens of Virginia as fully a* they
are now excerciscd and enjoyed hy male
citizens.
The 14th atucudmcut make* ail person*
born or naturalized in the United States,
sttizan* of the tame ; and the lith amend
ment, it mutt be observed, make* all citi
zens voters. This is some of the loose rad
oal legislation, by virtue of which the wo
men now claim to vote, and although
jt was not intended to confer thut
right upon such, only upon tho negro,
yet these two articles taken together seeut
to be as much to (kvor of woman suffrage
as they ore ot negro suffrage. But to let
the readers of the KKCOKTKK Judge for
themselves wc copy the 1 fills and lAth
amendm< nt:
Mill * MEN DM EXT.
All persons born or naturalized in tho ('•

thereof arecitizensoflhc United States, and

15TH AMXWDMEHT.
The right of citizens of the United Htute*
to vote shall not bo denied or abridged

wish room in your paper to deny the ii,fa

the measure- their candidate- are pledged
to, as in the p*t Mr. Meek has opn ->■!
radical principles, -o next winter will find
him arrayed in ho-tility to thi* Centre
county republican platform.
He is too consistent a democrat to work

who know* anything at all of Mr. Mit-k'i
political reoord Will for a moment believe
that he has tho slighiusi ialcnthin to do

deny absolutely then, that Mr Meek will
I scok tho repeal oftbe Library Act. Neith
er la It true that be ha* proui't-ed any one
that he will do so.* But even iflhi- were
io, even if for the good of the great party
he represents, and which lie mut again
next wriuter repP'-eut, he ha* said to cer

in perfect accord with the Republican
platform of thi* fUtV ; even if this were
al! true, it i no reaoii why ho should not
receive the cordial nupport of every Demo

him, and know that whatever ru<- tie may

One other slander -itainst the same gen
tleman, 1 desire briefly to notice. The ra
dical* arc circulating tU report that the
repeal of th" notorious Fhllitdt'lphia huil
ding CommUtion bill wu* defeated in com
mittee by the vote of Mr Meek. At th'
lal session of the legislature C<l. Dech
ert. a Democrat, introduced int<* tho'seri

cannot deny that iu this committee the bill
was smothered, and that In consequence
this infamous Building Commission still
exist-. RnlafVra ,arefql and thorough
examination of the Journal Of th>. House,
I rannot find any reo rd of Mr. Meek'*
vote. The radical! therefore talipot have
any foundation for their allegation.
Every vote for Mr. Mi ck in tho next

For the Reporter,
Mr. Editor:—From the open act* of the
radical politieinns, as well a* from their
covert artifice*, it is evident they arc wor
king hard to J euro tho dcctfoi) of one or
more of their candidate* by the stalotri.k
of "trading off.'" I'robalily every voter
iu tho county know- what tiiis is--tho vo
ting for a man on the opposition ticket on
Condition thut some one of the other party
will vote for a candidate on hi* ticket.
Hut every one may not know that thi* do
vice is id ways adopted by tho minority
party if they are hopeless of carrying their
entire ticket, for the sake of electing one of
their nominees. The plan of the enemy in
this campaign i* simple, nnd yet if success
fully carried out, might result in n disaster
to the Democratic party. Tho leaders ol
the radical* in Bollefonte notify their fol
lowers throughout tho county to concen
trate all their effort* to secure the election
of one candidate, my associate Judge f-jr
instance. When <>no radical goes to hi.
Democratic neighbor and says, ' 1 will
vote for your candidate f.>r Treasurer, il
you will "vote for Wagner" ; another goes
to another Democrat with, "1 will votu for
your candidate for As*embly if you w ill
vote for Wagner," und ao ou ail around:
we can see at once that while thu ltepuhii
cans, evert if they lire luithful to the prom
ise* tiny thu- make, are scatteririg their
votes among all our candidates while they
are securing many Democratic vutos for
one radical candidate, whom tlmy might
thus elect. Tho grounds on which they
base their request* to the Democrats ure
various: to otto they appeal on the ground
thut the candidate lor whom they ask his
vol", in a neighbor: to another, that the
radical candidate is a good fellow, and
does not expect to b<- elected, hut would
like to run ahead of his ticket, &c. But
Democrats should boon thuir guard against
these radical designs. We have nothing
to gain l<y trading off, and a great deal to
lose. We must never presume too confi
dently on our large county majority, and
we have no business t<> trade off our coun
ty candidates for our tlala candidates.
The history of two campaigns iu this
county shows the evil effects of trading
candidates. When ,S. T. tihugert, of Bel
lufonto, was a candidate for State Senator,
hi* friends nildtapteil t< insure hi* election
