Gross Naturalization Frauds.
On Saturday, Sept 26lh, it was discover
ed the Democracy were perpetrating the
moat outrageous naturalization frauds in
Philadelphia an account of which we pub
lish on our outside. This di.covery led to
an investigation on Monday, Sept. 2sth,
when it was found that the Supreme Court
was "grinding" out naturalization papers
at the rate of twelve in fire mi'tniUs. The
Jrexs of Tuesday the 2'Jth, in rel'ctring to
this unprecedented proceeding, says:
"There seems to be no dmilit that it may
be considered as established beyond contra
diction that yesterday teien hundred nud
twentif naturnlizittion ptijtrr were granted
by the Supreme Court ot IVtnylvatiia in
thrre lUiflreU inuiuir J hat m many of
these caes the outhx were atniinixtrm f.tj
the tipxtace in the tilmence of the jutfge
chargrd with the. duty of grunting utttnrrl
iza lions. And more huitit iatiti;? yet. it is
openly asserted and we believe caj.at ic of
proof that niitnrntiztition Jnprr. forged or
otherwise, have been issued in blank, signed,
certified, and l.fcariiii; the great seal ot the
court, to be filled up with names as occasion
may require."
This is truely a lamentable state of af
fairs! Judges of the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania, at least connivinir at the is
suing of fraudulent naturalization papers,
if not openly sanctioning such proceedings.
But so glaringly inconsistent with all law,
and of e.iuity and in such haste and in
such unprecedented numbtrs, and in m in-
formal and Ivose a uianncrwcre these natur
alization papers issued, that Judge Stro.no
could stand it no longer, and he resigned
bis resignation to take effect immediately.
The nature and extent ot these outiageous
proceedings will be the better comprehend
ed when it is known that Judge Strong was
chosen to the Supreme lnch as a Demo
crat, and that he adhered to the Democrat
ic party up to the day he resigned his seat.
Another reason assigned in connection
with the resignation of Judge Strong i,
that on Monday, after these undue proceed
ings liei ame known. Chief Justice Thomp
son refused to allow quali6ed citizens to be
present and take notice of the number of
persons ntura!izsd,evidence presenttd,etc
even forbrdding the reporters from taking
down the names as they were read out.
Hut, the announcement of the resignation
of Judge Strone seems to have brought
J udge Sharswood to a realization of the ro-
smon ot I hief Justice Thompson, for, it is
said, he instantly followed that announce
ment with a reversal of the action of the
Chief Justice so far, that parties are now
permitted to make lists ot the names and
vouchers for publication, and the result is
that already a number of persons have been
arrested for obtaining papers bv false swearing-one
of them, it is alleged, having no
less than twelve papers in his pockets at the
time of his arrest, all filled up except the
name of the p: rson who was to use it.
Such are the schemes resorted to by the
Democratic leaders in Pennsylvania, in the
hope of carrying the election in October.
But it wont do! The law-biding citizens
of the Commonwealth are everywhere on
tbe look out for "coffee colored' papers,
and all such will be duly noted, and, if up
on examination they prove to be fraudulent
the parties using them wil'J be arrested and
held for trial, and punishment. The laws
of the land must be vindicated at all bz-
aros. as tbe only safeguards against opr
sion, violence and disorder.

Gen. John F. Hartranft, our candi

Our Judicial Ticket.
Hon. JosErn B. McKxai.lt having
been nominated by acclamation, by the Re
publican mass meeting on Wednesday eve
ning last, for President Judge of this dis
trict, we place his name at cur mast head
this week. Judge McEnally is a roan of
good education, fine talents, close applica
tion, excellent executive ability, and honest
and efficient in the discharge of any trust
confided to" him. As a judge be has, in the
short time be has occupied the Bench, won
the universal esteem and praise of those
who had business to transact in the courts
of this, and the other counties of the dis
trict. He seems to be perfectly at ease in
whatever position he is placed. In the
language of our neighbor Goodlander, "The
"sudden transfer of the new Judge from
"the Bar to tho Benrh does not seem to
" discommode him in the least. He wani
" fests tact and executive ability in dispatch
" ing public business equal to any of his
"predecessors." This commendation, at
the hands of a member of the opposite par
ty, alone speaks volumes in favor of Judge
McEnally, and is well worthy the cartful
and serious consideration of both Demo
crats and Republicans in this county not
from a party stand point, but in view of the
great benefit that would result to the tax
payers of the county ly having the Presi
dent Judge residing in our midst.
Our County Ticket.
Hox. Glenni W. Scofi eld, of Warren,
is our candidate for Congress. He basal
ready served the people of the Nineteenth
district three successive terms.faithfully and
honestly, and he will not fail them in the
fourth. He will be re-elected.
Ma.nasseii Arnold, K.-q., of Clarion, is
our nominee for Sriiator. M r. Arnold is a
man of fine talents, capable and honest, and
will represent the interests of the people of
this district laithfully and satisfactorily, if
eiei ted.
John M. Adams, Esq., of Clearfield ,our
candidate for Assembly is well known to the
people of the whole county ; and, if elected,
will make a faithful, honest, and punctual
representative.
Sampson 1$. Lingi.e, our candidate for
Prothonotary,is fully qualified to fill the po
sition for which he is named. lie is a one
armed soldier, and merits the votes of the
per pie of the county.
Fred. B.CALiWEi.L,our nominee for Reg
ister and Recorder, is abo a one-armed sol
dier, and possesses tbe requisite qualifies
t ions for the office for which be is named.
Robert Mitchell, our candidate for
Commissioner, is a man of undoubted busi
ness qualifications honest and capable.
He is the very man the people of the coun
ty should elect to the important position for
which he is named. The intere.sis of the
tax pavers would be entirely safe in his

ios.-cs-es thebiiiuess tact and qualifications
to discharge the duties of the office he is
named frr, to the best interests of the pco
pie of the county.
Tuomas W. Moork, our nominee for
Surveyor, is a man of much experience, and
of undoubted ability, and well qualified to
fill the position of County Surveyor.
Such are the nominees of tbe Republi
can party men worthy the support of the
eople of Clearfield county. Let no Repub
lican fail to cast his vote for them ; and, we
ho;e. that enough honest Democrats will
also vote for atleastapartofthe.se men
and elect them. Their interests demand
this much at their hands. Will they do it?
Friends of Freedon !
You were never before called on, to vote on
issues so vital in their effects on manhood as
those involved in the pending contest. Trai
tors proclaimed you could not defeat them
on the battle Geld, in a life and death strug
gle for the Government, and now traitor sym
pathisers insist you shall not triumph at the
ballot-box in a contest for the same object.
Let your ballots confirm on Tuesday next
what your bullets maintained in the war
the permanency of free government.
rrieiids of the Ucion, remember !
The Democratic party orginated the right
of secession, the riijht of rebellion, the right
of repudiation, and the right of nullification,

Over five thousand persons have received
naturalization papers from the Supreme
Court iu Philadelphia, as is shown by the
record." How many more thousands have
been issued is not known. Let Republicans
everywhere be on the lookout for papers
signed James K. Snowden. The majority
of them are fraudulent.
Patriots, Remember!

To Democrats and Republicans.
The people of Clearfield county should
hear in mind, that the President Judge is
elected for ten year, and hence his election
can bave little or no bearing in determining
the political complexion of this county, or of
ths district. In fact, the election of a Pres
ident Judee ought not to be mixed up with
politics. ITe is the servant of the whole
people, not of a party, and should be Iree
Judge 'reside in tbis county? Certainly!
Court would becin on Monday instead of
Tuesday, a-s was the -case most of the time,
in the past. The wages of Jurors, Justices
of the Peace, Constables, and Tipstaves.for
that one day (while they would 1 lying idle
as heretofore) amounts to about tiro hun
dred do!l tr ! You would save that sum
every court, besides what it costs you for
hoarding, loss ot time, etc., while awaiting
the arrival of the Judge. We think these
fact3 should be sufficient to induce every
man in the county Democrat and Republi
can to vote for Mr. M'Enally on Tuesday
next, and by his election secure this reduc
tion in the current expenses of the county,
and of the people. Let all give this subjpet
a serious and candid consideration before
they vote next Tuesday.
What a Soldier Saya.
Gen. Phil II. Sheridan, who is on the
Western frontier.telegraphed to Gen. Cbas,
H. T. Collis, of Philadelphia, under date f
'Fort Marker, Kansas, Sept, 30th, 1868,"
as follows :
'"Say to the Boys in Blue that it is as es
sential to have a political victory this fall as
it was to have an Appomattox in IM5. and
that every man who loves his country should
vote for Grant. 7
This is the advice of a true and tried sol
dier, and plainly indicates that the election
of Seymour and Blair would be the worst
calamity that could befall our people, and
Ijpnce he says ''that every man who loves
" his county should vote for Grant." Let
every patriot consider the words of "little
r'hil" prayerfully, and then go to the polls
on Tuesday next and cast bis ballot for Hart
ranft and Campbell, the faithful soldier
candidates.
The Democracy and the Jews.
The Democratic leaders having failed to
embitter the Jews against Gen. Grant, on
account of what they term the '"Jew order,"
issued by the Adjutant-General of the army
of the Cumberland during the war, they
changed their tactics, and, under pretence
of treat love torthat class of our naturalized
citizens, p'aeed several of them in high po
sitions in their party organization. For in
stance: the Chairman of their National
Committee, August Belmont, Esq., and
their candidate for President Judge in this
Judicial District, Charles A. Mayer, Esq.,
both are Jews. But, notwithstanding the
selection of a few of them to positions of
prominence in their party, a majority of the
Jews throughout tbe country are working 4
zealously for Grant and Colfax.
Republicans of Clearfield Contty
of the Keystone State ! The day of elec
tion is at hand ! The time for argument is
past! The hour of action has arrived!
Your adversaries, though emboldened by a
partial success la.se tall, can't beat you uow.
unless by your neglect and indifference.
Then go to the polls on Tuesday next and
cast y uir bailors for Hartranft and Campbell,
and thus prevent the fruits of a four years'
war, the sacrifice of five hundred thousand
lives, and the expenditure of over three thou
sand millions of dollars, to be lost !
The Vote of every 'Wounded Soldier
Will have a great influence in deciding
whether the pension he now teceives shall
be continued to his death. Remember,
wounded soldier, tbe Democratic leaders
bave but to take one step more, to insure
the repudiation of your pensions.
Philadelphia Naturalization Frauds !
James R. Suowden. the Cierk of the Supreme
Court, implicated.
Astonishing discoveries of the fra-jds prac
ticed in the Supreme Court have come to
light. One of the recently naturalized per
sons py this court was arrested on Sunday
last, charged with some crime, and on
searching his person twelve natural. zaticn
papers were found, signed by James R. Snow
den, clerk of the Supreme Couit, with the
seal ot tho Court attached. These papers
were exhibited to Mr. Snowdeu on Saturday
in open Court, when he stated to the jud
ges that the signature looked like his own
but did not beleive them to be genuine.
These twelve papers found on the petson ar
rested are of the same size, style ot paper,
Slc, as those used bv the c.erk of the Su
preme Coura, and were ready to be filled up
with any person's uauie who might want
them.
Two of the many who have been acting as
professional vouchers have been arrested
and are held for trial on the charge of per
jury. One James A. Watson voucl ed for
thirty one, aud Ernest Gent tier for sixteen ;
both these men are under bonds to appear
at court. Thirteeti hundred and ten nat
uralization pa ers have been issued by this
court within a month, of which a record has
been kept, and the largest number of them
were vouched for by men who loaf around
the court house aud swear for pay. How
many of these blank papers, with the name
of James R. Snowden and the seal of that
court attached, are iu existence, cannot by
any possibility be ascertained, but in view
of the glaring frands, which are now being
exposed, as having been practised by tbis
court, it would be well for the election offi
cer to reject all the papers issued by this
court. H'irrixLurgh Telegraph. j
Tax-payers should remember, that
it would 6ave hundreds of dollars to
Clearfield county,for ten years to come,
if the President Judge would be a res
ident of their own county. This sav
ing can be had by electing Mr. M'En
ally on Tuesday next.
Road the outside of this paper.
"What Have I Dose?" Ask your
self, Republican ! " Vhat have I done
for my cause and my principles?''
"What have I done to secure peace and
a government of law ?" "What have I
done to carry forward the work for
which half a million of men have given
their lives?" "What have I done to
secure loyal rule, order and prosperity
to my State?' Let every Republican
ask himself these question. And if
any one feels that he has not done hi
j whole duty his duty to his cause, to
his Stat?, his country, and his God
now is the time to repair the error.
Begin at once ! Resolve that from this
time until the election you will give at
least tjjo hours every day to the high
est duty of a citizen.

leaders.
It having become known late in tbe af

withdrawn from the contest for the Presi

announced the fact at tbe evening meeting,

Upon the whole this was the most grand,
