S. J. BOW, BDITOC 4SDPR0PBIBT0B.
CLEARFIELD, PA., NOV. 11,
The Popular Verdict.
The Tammany platform was devised to
catch rotes in the West, where, it was said,
the people were tainted with the greenback
and repudiation heresy. Mr. Pendleton
presented a patent lor certain planks where
on he claimed that everybody in the West
was anxious to stand, and with which he
was entirely certain the whole country would
be swept. This was a libel on the West, as
the majorities show. The Pendleton plank
were rotten from the first. His greenback
tbeory bad a damaging effect on the party.
In supposing that the body of voters were
as demoralized as themselves on the ques
tion of the finances, the Democratic leaders
committed a fatal mistake. They probably
see it now. On the financial question the
popular verdict is emphatic. It is against
everything that savors of dishonesty, and
in favor of paying everything squarely,
without equivocation and it is against the
delusive idea of expanding the volume of
the currency by the free use of the paper
mill nd the printing press. It is to be
hoped that democratic leaders and others
who lent an ear to these heresies will profit
by tie popular determination.
"You Have Fought a Good Tight."
This was the congratulatory exclamation,
of Mr. Wallace, to his followers, after the
October election. And we now say to the
Republicans, " You have fought a good
fight," you have defeated the enemies of
the Union traitors, rebels, copperheads,
and all and once more your proud and star
ry flag (the harbiuger of peace and prosper
ity to our people, and the emblem of free
dom to the oppressed of every clime) floats
in triumph over the whole land, We con
gratulate our political friends everywhere ov
er their grand, glorious, and decisive victo
ry over the advocates of rebellion, oppress
ion and fraud; and long may ourbannercon
tinue to wave
4iOr it land (if tVi fro,
And the home of the brave."
Hon. Galusha A. Grow.
The laborious, unwearied and conscien
tious exertions of Mr. Grow, as Chairman
of the Republican State Committee, during
the most important and most exciting polit
ical contest ever witnessed in Pennsylvania,
entitle him to the cordial thanks of every
member of our party. But, while accord
ing all praise to Mr. Grow, the thanks of
the people are also due to the various local
organizations, and to individuals in each of
the counties, for their hearty aud efficient
co-operation in bringing about our recent
political triumphs; but as the appointed
executive head of the party great responsi
bilities were necessarily incumbent upon him
and he met and discharged them in a man
ner deserving the highest commendation.
"The Eesnltin the State."
"Colonised voter mast return home, in order
to save their own States, and eannot return "
Rrpuitu, Ort lid.
Well, from the result on the 3d of No
vember, in this State, we infer the "coloni
zed voters". did "return home," and conse
quently the .Republicans carried Pennsylva
nia by 30,000 majority instead of by less
than 10,000, as in October; aud the city of
Philadelphia by a majority of 5,460, while
it gave a majority of 165 against them on
the State ticket in October. George, we
thank you for jojir implied acknowledgment
that you attempted to carry the State by
"colonized voters" is Cctoher; and there
suit in November plainly shows ttiat the
fact were not misstated by you, though,
perhaps, inadvertantly.
Where's that 1,500 Majority ?
"Democrats of Clearfield : jron done noely, tot
yon can go 3A0 better en the 1st Tuesday of No
vember 'RspuUican, On. iid.
Missed fire again! That 1,500 majority
looms np before the muddled Deruuerotic
vision, as regularly before aeh election, as
does the "Jack with a lantern" "rem marshy
grounds before the belated traveler.but they
who seek to obtain U are never able to grasp
the object they have in view. Poor deluded
dupes 1 How long will you continue to fol
low the tni fatvi (the leaders) that are ev
er deceiving you?
TheU. S. Senatorsoip. The Philadel
phia Bulletin advocates the claim, ot Ga
lusha A. Grow for the seat in the United
Sut4 Senate now held by Mr. Buckalew,
whose Una will expire on the 4th of next
March. The friends of John Scott, f
Huntingdon, it is understood, are proposing
to bring him forward as a candidate.
Item. Tha effect of Seymours eloquence
is wonderful The majorities where he spoke
are truly enormous, but they have, perhaps
by mistake, gotten on the wrens side.
f j;c jHafknuin' gournaf, gfcarfiefb,
What We Surmounted.
The Philadelphia Vow, says : The
magnitude of th" late triumph of Freedom
in this country is something marvellous, as
we attempt to est:u.ate the difficulties we
surmounted. The Republican party was
like a stout ship in a fierce and protracted
temptest. Every element was combined for
its destruction the hatred of rebel treason,
,n.,A-.,.p nf Johnson's in.rr.itnude.the
cupidity of Johnson's office-holders, stimu
lated by the WhUky Ring, with its stolen
millions, ihe ignorant prejudices against the
negroes, the still active animosities againt
reconstruction, the envy of the aristocracy
of the Old World ; and all these disciplined
by the keenest and most desperate of the
old Democratic leaders by such men as
William A. Wallace in this State, S. J. Til
den and August Belmont in New York,
John P. .Stocktou in New Jersey, and Thos,
A. Hendricks in Indiana. But the great
ship defied the long temptest, alternately
black and lurid, and she is now safely in
port, riding proudly at her authors, with no
injuries save her honorable scars, and with
the dear old bunting floating gaily from her
masthead.
Trial for Murder. The trial of Thos.
H. Fagan, for the murder of Win. A. Lane,
at Hollidaysburg. on the 25th of July last,
can e off last week. A number of witnesses
were examined and able arguments deliv
ered by Messrs. John Dean and James F.
Milliken Fsq., for commonwealth, and S.S.
Blair and Thaddeus Banks, Esq., for de
f nee. The case was given to the jury on
Fiiday morning, and after trirty-six hours
consideration, returned a verdict of "not
guilty"
Superceded. The country will be grati
fied to learn that General Reynolds, the
Military Commander whose inefficiency is
responsible iu some degree for thn reign of
terror which has prevailed in Texas, has
been superced by General Canby, who now
g es to that district with full discretionary
powers, under the reconstruction acts.
Tuesday's work already bears fruit.
A Glorious Triumph. La3t year Phil
adelphia gave Sharswood a majority of 2,485
and Ludlow 5,560 majority; now Grant's
majority is 5, S12 showing a Republican
gain of 8,297 over the former, and II, 372
over the latter. Surely, George, those
"colonized voters MCSThave returned home"
after the October election, as is evident
from the result in Philadelphia.
A Falling Off. There was a falling off
in the vote of the-City of Philadelphia as
compared with ilie rote of October. The
Democrats by this reduction lost 5,635 while
the Republican vote was increased 352.
This plainly indicates which party resorted
to frauds, bv colonizing voters and issuing
forged naturalization papers, to carry the
election in October.
"They (the Democrats) are not laboring for of
fice" Republican.
Certainly ! Democrats never labor for of
fice. Oh no ; not they 1 as is instanced ia
Clearfield County, where they concede all
the offices to the Republicans over the
left. Poor fellows! we really pity them,
and thank them for their self-sacrificing gen
erosity. How it was Done. The returns from
New York city show that in more than
twenty districts the polled vote exceeds the
registered tote all the way from five to fifty
so trie -New lork Junes says, it is no won
der the country vote was slaughtered, and
the State carried in favor of Seymour and
Blair.
Friends of tue Union 1 "Let us rejoice,
and be exceeding glad." Grant and Colfax
are elected. Right has triumphed over ev-t-TY
species of fraud and wrong. We've
Gram ed the opposition all that was need
ed, but less than they deserve. .
'-With Ihe experience thos gained in the school
of aderity. we will gQ forward to victory."
Wallace's address.
Where is the victory, le. Wallace?
Wasn't you only "blowing" a little when
you wrote that ?
Latest Market Reports. Seymour
and Blair badges heavy stock on hind
dull offered freely at one cent a. piece, with
a downward tendency, and no buyers at
that.
Dows It Comes. In spite of all the
' bulls" and "bears" in New York can do,
the premium ou gold is on a decline. The
election of Grant and Colfax is doing the
work.
"We are free to admit that the result on the 2d
Tuesriat of October was not what we hoped it
weald be '" Rfmbliraii .
Well, what about the result in November?
Was that what you "hoped it would be?"
In Newbury, Vermont, John Kimball,
ninety-four years old, voted for Grant on
Tuesday, and has voted at every Presiden
tial election from John Adams down.
Your President I cannot be." Sey
mour.
for it.
That s so and the Lord be thanked
It is likely we shall pay our honest debts
now, having repudiated the repudiators.
The Democratic boys are all iu bixe since
the election.
Gratit has "fought it out on this line"
and won.
How Grant Received the ITews.
A si ecial dispatch to the Chicago Tribune,
from Galena, dated at midnight on the 4th,
says : "This has been the proudest evening
in all the history of Galena. The city here
tofore Detuocratic.yesteTday (Tuesday) gave
a majority for her di?tinguL-hed citizen.
General U. S. Grant, for President of the
United Slates. The county gives him a
larger majority by 400 than it gave to Mr.
Lincoln ir. ISO 1. This magnificent result.
together with the triumphant election of
Geo. Grant, was celebrated here this eve
ning by a grand torchlight procession, bon
fires, illuminations, and other demonstra
tions 6f joy. The Galeua Tanners, with
two bands of music and a procession of cit
izens numbering several thousand, marched
to the residence of Gen. Grant, iu front of
which a splendid display of fireworks was
sent up, after which three rousing cheers
were given for the President elect. In res
ponse to repeated calls, the General stepped
out upon the piazza and addressed the mul
titude as follows :
Friends and fellow citizens of Galena : I
thank you kindly for this additional mark
of your kindness. Sufficient, I suppose,
has now beeu heard of the result of the late
election to show upon whom it has fallen
to administer the affairs of the nation for
the next four years. I suppose it is no egot
ism iu me to say that the choice has fallen
on me. The responsibilities ol the position
I feel, but accept them without fear, if I
can bave the same support which has been
giver me thus far. I thank you and all
others who have fought together in this con
test a contest in which you are all interest
ed personally as much as, aud perhaps more
than 1 am. I now take occasion to bid you
good bye, as I leave here to-morrow for
Washington, and shall probably see but few
of you again for years -to come, although it
would give me great pleasute to make an
annual pilgrimage to a place where I have
enjoyed myself so much as I have here dur
ing the past few mouths.
The procession afterwards called at the
residence of Hon. E. B. Washburn, who
has just been re-elected to Congress for the
ninth term. Mr. W. congratulated the as
semblage on the election of Gen. Grant,and
thanked them for the magnificent demon
stration on the oecasson.
Brick on a Bampage.
Brick Ponieroy evidently regards himself
the leader of the Democratic party now. and
he is not far wrong. Having struck an at
titude, he sbouts as follows :
"No, never! By the heavens above ns,
and the blood-soaked, sacred soil beneath
our feet, this shall never be ! We are still
men ! We come of a stock which spurns
the chain and defies the tyrant! Then stand
to your arms, white men of America!
Though the victory is not won. the cause is
not lost ! Youare still as great, asstrong as
ever! You have still a country, homes,
children! Liberty in chains still beckons
you to her rescue ! God of our fathers ! can
we hold back from such solicitation ? Can
we give over struggle while freedom is de
nied us? Shall one-halt the Union be sur
rendered to African barbarism, and the
whole to the tyrant's sway ? Will we be
come the willing slave of money kings, and
learn to speak
" In a bondsman's kev
With bated breath aud whispering hum
bleness .'
Had Brick let himself out after this fash
ion sooner, there is no knowing what would
have happened. By the way, we congratu
late the decent men of the Democratic par
ty on having such leader.
More Frauds Exposed. Lewis Cud
derbach, Clerk of the Court of Orange coun
ty. New York, assisted by hit deputies, and
a couple of Democratic lawyers, have been
accused ot perpetrating an immense praeti
cal joke, which took a political shape. The
charges against these gentlemen allege,
among other things that they held court in
the absence of the judges, the fun-loving
clerk presiding, and proceeded to natural
ize applicants at a swifter rate than the
courts in New York City. It was a race
against time, in which Cudderlach won by
a thousand or so. The ugliest pr.rt of this
practical joke is the fact that the jokers
charged a dollar apiece for the false certifi
cates issued. The parties have all been ar
rested and will doubtless pay the penalty
imposed upon ereat practical jokers.
1 hey Keep a Comin ! During the
late rebellion, and when Gen. Sherman was
on his grand march to the sea, an old negro
said, I reckon dem boys'll win. Dey are
always whipped our niassas say, but dey
keep a comin and a comic . So it is with
the boasted Democratic gains. They gain
ed every local and State election, but some
how or other Grant kept "a comin' and a
comin' " until now we hearof no more Dem
ocratic gains, and of but few Democrats.
Surratt Cleared. The Surratt ea-e is
finally disposed of, the Supreme Court of
the District declining to entertain any ap
peal against the previous decision of the
Criminal Court dismissing the prosecution
under the statute of limitation, fnrratt's
name will therefore disappear from the col
umns of the press, unless he should volun
teer to make good the rebel threat, which
pledged the "dagger of Brutus" to attain
what Ku Klux terrorism could not accom
plish. A Good One. A ludicrous incident was
reported to have occurred at the polls in
Quincy, Mass. The H..n. Charles Francis
Adams deposited a written ballot. A few
minutes afterward be returned and stated
that bv mistake he had put a receipted bill
into the box. An examination proved the
correctness of the statement. It is reported
be voted the Republican electoral and Dem
ocratic State tickets.
Those reconstruction acts are not as "un
constitutional and void" as they were.
VICTORY! VICTORY !!
"Behold how brisrhtlv breaks

THE LOYAL PEOPLE SPEAK 1

of the gallant GRANT the glorious leader
of our army as President of the United
States; and the noble Statesman of Indiana

The Democracy will have but ten mem
bers of the United States Senate, viz: One
from each of the States of Ohio, Minneso
ta, California and New Jersey, and two
from each ot the States of Delaware, Mary
laud and Kentucky. They lose a Senator
in each of the Stales of Connecticut, Indi
ana, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Wiscon
sin, and gain one iu New Jersey, one in
California, and one in Ohio. The Senate,
after the 4'.h of Jiarch nex.t,will bo divided
politically :
Republic us 5S
Democrats io
Three States unrepresented 6
Whole nuTiber of Senators 74
Of these, sixteen are from the Recon
structed States, including Tennessee.
In the Eighth Kentucky District, Barnes
Radical, has about 1,000 majority for Con
gress. In the State Grant has at least 50,
000 votes, the Democratic majority being
cut down 20,000 since August The Ken
tucky Republicans are rejoicing as never
before.
Poor Seymour. If Mr. Seymour's sen
sibilities are not destroyed.when he reviews
the brief list of States that have gone for
him, he must experience anything but pride.
New York and New Jersey, the only North
ern States, were carried bv the most stupen
dous frauds. Delaware, Maryland and Ken
tucky would have voted more largely for
Jefferson Davis, and took Seymour as her
second cheice. Alabama, Georgia, Louisi
ana and Arkansas, perhaps have gone for
him solely, as the result of the reign of ter
ror by the Ku Klux Klans. If there is any
thing io such a result that gives him or any
of his supporters satisfaction, he certainly
is entitled to make the most of it.
There is to be a general auction sale of
Democratic roosters throughout the country.

For Wm. A. Wallace's Eye. In. bis
address to the Democracy of Pennsylvania
after the October election, Wm. A.Wallace,
Chairman of the Democratic State Com
mittee, charged it upon the Republican par
ty that one of the means through which
they were enabled to carry the State consist
ed in "assessing paupers and voting them "
We beard a Democrat remark. the other dav.
that the address was elegant, eloquent, and
epigrammatic, and would have been all right
7 that unfortunate reference to paupers had
been left out; "for," said he, "3-ou see,
here in Cambria county tee always assess the
paupers and have them vote the Democrat
ic ticket !" Which is a fact. Allenhanir,,,
"Tit for Tat." Gen. Howard tells a
good story of a planter, who assembled all
I is hands in the spring, and told them they
must vote for the Democrats, or he wnnl.l
not employ them. The darkies waited nn.
til the cotton was whitening, and then calied
on him and told him he must give his word
to vote the Kadical ticket, or thpv wn,,i,i
leave him in a body. And he did it. Im
agine his wrath, however, at being present
ed the alternative of losing his whole crop,
or becoming a condemned scalawag.
Hard on Grant. General Grant ha3
just encountered his first serious disaster.
One of the Blairs has published an article
eulogizing him "as the second Father of his
Country, if he behaves himself."
Ex President Pierce was carried to the
polls in a hack. As he handed a Seymonr
and Blair ballot to the receiving officer, he
remarked, "It is a strong ticket."

How The President Is Elected,
The electors chosen by the people of the
several States are required, by the Act of
1792, to assemble at the capitals of their re
spective State on the first Wednesday in
December, being the 2nd day of that month
this year, and there to vote by ballot for
President and Vice President, making lists
of the ballots cast for each. These are to he
transmitted, before the first Wednesday jn
January, to the President of the Senate t
Washington. On the second Wednesday
in February, that officer will open all these
certificates, in the presence of the two Hou
ses of Concress, and the votes are then coun
ted, usually by tellers designated by each
House. The persons having, respet-tivelv
the greatest number of rotes, for President
and Vice Presi 'ent, provided such numbers
be majorities of the whole number of elect
ors appointed, "shall be," says the Consri
tution, "President and Vice President."
There are other provisions in that instru
ment, applicable to cases when no person is
found to have a majority of the whole num
ber of electoral votes, but we need not quote
them here, the votes to be given for Grant
and Colfax being largely in excess of the
majority constitutionally reqnired.
The twenty-six electoral votes of Pennsyl
vania, being one for each representative of
the State in the two Houses of Concress,
will therefore be cast at Harrisburg on the
2nd of December next, by the twenty-six in
number, who, on Tuesday last, received so
decisive a majority of the suffrages of the
people of the Commonwealth. Selected by
the friends of Grant and Colfax for that pur
pose, and this claim ratified by the votes of
the people, these Electors meet only for the
discharge of their appointed duty, after
which the College is dissolved. No legal
obligation binds these gentlemen to cast
their ballots for the Republican nominees,
but usage, public expectation and personal
honor supply, in this regard.'all .the needful
guarantees that the electional voice of the
Commonwealth shall te beard in faithful
accordance with the wishes of the majority
of the people. Only the death, or the dc- -clination.
f either of the present candidates
could entitle the Electors to exercise any
discretion whatever in the support of others
who have not been named in the canvass.
No such case as this has yet been kno-rn
to our history. The Electoral vote of each
State has invariably been cast in accordance
with the well understood wishes of the pop
ular majorities by w bich the Electors were
chosen.
