Mr. Stenger's Meeting in Gray
bill's Hall.
Ifhat .Vr. Sharp and .Vr. Stenger said
Last Thursday Evening.
La.it Thursday evening Mr. Stenger's
friends neld a meeting in GraybiU't Hall.
Tbe Perryavill Crass Band, having been
engaged for the occasion, opened the en
tcrtaiument by a lively tune, at 25 minutes
pot 7 o'clock, alter which Mr. Jacob Christy
was chosen President of the meeting, and
the organization completed by the election
of a full set of subordinate officers.
Mr. J. McDowell Sharpe, of Chambers
burg, was introduced as the Brat speaker,
ilia introductory was a dissertation on civil
and religious liberty, and something as to
the size of this country thrown in to round
of! with. lie gradually glided down to
parties, and heartily entreated bis bearers
to forget all such things as party ties ; of
course he did not mean that the whole au
dience should vote the Republican ticket.
Bel ore (he finishing of the ties, lie wanted
to know where we were drifting to. As no
one answered the question, be drifted into
the business of the country. The way be
landed on that question caused all to stand
on the tip-toe of expectation of a complete
explanation cf as to how the country is to
get rid of the present business depression.
The explanation was sharpies, but it was
a stinger on the inconsistency of such a
speech in the face of the great break down
and general depression that overtook the
country under James Buchanan's adminis
tration in 1857, when there were no rebel
war debts to settle for. Tb t time all the
banks clofed, aud the paper money that
waa in circulation was not worth aa much
as the same sized pieces of blank paper.
But the most damaging feature or the busi
ness part of bis speech was that he pro
posed bo remedy. It is cbaiitab'.e to bo
lieve that be did not want to tell a story by
saying that a Democratic administration
could remedy the business ills of the coun
try, in the face of the fact that greater
business distress, under Democratic rule,
oppressed thecountry in bygone days. How
ever, be waded through the business slough
and stumbled right over into political pecula
tion, Ac. He did handsomely on this sub
ject. But the most important point under
that bead that nearly all of the peculations
and foul work that be complained of came
through the work or the Rebellion he lef t
out. It was B nice growl against things
that were hatched in the Democratic part v.
Ha did not, but it would have been so prop
er for him to have just then introduced the
robbery of thw Indian Trust Fund and
other frauds perpetrated in the peaceful
dis .f James Buchanvn's administration ;
and if he desired to draw a little nearer
home on such matters, hn might have
stepped into Pennsylvania and looked at
the management cf the Commonwealth with
an accumulated debt of forty millions ol
dollars, and still accumulating, with a canal
commission that was robbing the State
without parallel j and if be wished to draw
the Hues close r still, be might have gone
along the 'ditch" and lound men in every
county who to-day are enjoying the gains
ot the peace! ul days of Democracy.
He took a peep at the South, and then
came majestically down on Congress and
the Legislature and the third house, jnst
as if the (bird bouse in days gone by was
not the favorite stamping ground of Demo
crats. The most prominent lobbyists in
this Stale are or have been Democrats.
lie left the lobby and dwelt on the third
term scheme, and thence by an easy stride
he put bis foot on President Giant, and
while he bad him down really forgot that it
was only a Congressional and not a Prcsi
dantial canvass that he was engaged in.
He next delivered aa eulogy on George
Waabinrton, with the batchet OJt, and it
must redound to Mr. Sharpe's credit tbat ; people would make him one of tbat eom
. .. . . - it v.: . ! pan? of oflice bo'dera, also, natablv, that a
ue ma no aouso Uer5 ,
From tbe mbiect ot the rather of our
crrno'ry, b wctlt to t" f of fee and offce
seekers, but unfortunately he omitted to
state that he was seeking aa nffico for his
friend, Steng.T.
Hi next point was the M rich richer and
the poor poorer.'' Here again he failed.
He should have told that the Rebellion, to
which men of bis school lent their moral
support, was made exclusively in the
Interest of the rich, and if it bad been s
success the poor white people would have
been put in the condition of the slave the
poorest condition people can be placed in,
a -.cording to Ameri-an way of thinking.
He also forgot to tell that the Republican
party baa broken up all danger that existed
of the poor white people, or any other peo
ple, from being made poorer or enslaved,
and has so shaped the laws of tbe nation
that any man who has health, and will work
may secure a good living. He did not
stale that in this country the laws are such
that a rich man may become poor and a poor
man may become rich. It isdifficultto ex
plain why Mr. Sharpe left the rich and the
pour man subject, and again took up Grant,
and, astonishing to say, admitted that the
President was not before tbe people in the
canvasr. Did he mean to say that Grant
bad worked on a farm as hard as any poor
man f Perhaps it was bocaure be was a
bard working man, while Sharpe and Stenger
were both training as lawyers.
After circling around the President be
flew off at a tangent; touched the abolition
of slavery; tbe enforcement of equal rights,
civil rights and political rights, and con
fessed tbat be bad opposed them. The con
fession mnst hare been a relief to hira, for
h announced that the Constitution con
ferring those rights on th..negro had been
adopted through fraud, but he guessed they
would have to tike it.
lie became terribly exercised over tbe
civil rights bil'. He did not say that he
believed that if the Republic ins are kept in
power, which they w ill be, they will legis
late that Mr. Sharp and his dear friends will
have to sleep with negroes against their
will, ami, if possible, ctange a white man's
skin to that of a colored man. He did not
say that, but the next thing to it. How did
be keep from laughing when be talked tbat
way t This was followed by another raid
on Grant, aud lo, pretta, be turns in on
Congressional elections, tbe pluck of tbe
Democracy, and tbe Bible. His theological
deductions were about on a par with bis
politics. If he reaches tbe glory land of tbe
next world through his biblical learning, "all
right," but tne eople will see to it that tbe
place he covets for his friend next Novem
ber, is removed from his grasp. His last
remarks were a shower of praise on Indiana
and Ohio, after which Us gave way for Mr.
iitenger, the second speaker.
Mr. Wm. S. Stenger was introduced, and
said he would give 'the reason for the faith
tbat was in him," and straightway fell in
where Sharpe tell out, and rejoiced tenderly
over Indiana and Ohio. Tohiiuit was like tbe
movement of the dry bones that the prophet
Ezekiel saw. From biblical prophets and
lore he glided into the subject of bard
times, and made a much worse hand ol it
than Sharp haL H was eloqneut on the
stoppsge of tbe loom and forge, but missed
to make the point that if etough such gen
tlemen as he get to Congress the free trade
measures and gold and silver currency tbat
they would force by legislation would atop
every other kind of manufacturing, except
those of the strictest want, and bankrupt
two-thirda ol the nation. If be had been a
thorough antiquarian he might have asked
if the ruins of any forge existed in this
county, which would have been answered
by an invitation to walk to Licking Creek,
where the ruins of one may be seen any
day. While there, his legal mind might
have been further interested in the investi
gation aa to whether the ruins were not
caused by a Democratic administration long
ago.
From defunct looms and forges be ad
vanced into the realm of patriotism, but
the interesting part of telling where he was,
and on what side he was giving his moral
and political influence when the Rebels
were in Pennsylvania, and ventral Wister
was battling against thera at Gettysburg, he
left entirely out. lie found no difficulty in
tumbling from patriotism to corruption, and
from corruption to national expenses and
debts, but lost tbe strong feature of this
part of his speech by neglecting to state
that in any other country than this, ruled
by Northern ideas, his rebel friends would
have been made pay every dollar of tbe
expenses that he complained of.
The public land grants was his next point
in order, and thence into Credit Mobil icr,
where he became so unfair as not to men
tion that it was a Republican Congress thst
investigated that whole trouble, and that
the Republican party everywhere con
demned the thing so that the men who were
conspicuous in it have fallen from their
former high places. It killed Oakes met.
lie also did not tell that the percentage of
Democrats who were into Credit Mobilier
was as heavy as the percentage of Repub
licans. Such an investigation could never
have been gotten op in a Democratic Con
tress. The country yet remembers that
when John Covode proposed to investigate
certain acts of the last Democratic adminis
tration that this country bss had, how he
waa vMIified and abused, and Democrats of
Rebel proclivities to-day yet curse John
Covode, thongh he be in bis grave
The general money order business in
New York was tbe next subject, and (irant
was roundly censured lor not having it un
der better management. From New York
money orders and tbe President be direct
ed bis attention to the effects of extrava
gance. Such habits of living had all to be
paid for by the people. High rents, high
goods and high wages were all the out
growth of extravagance. He talked as if
it exclusively belonged to Republican rule.
Ue forgot bow it has crept into every con
dition of life. Even tbe beggar no longer
wants a penny, be wants live. It is found
in society, in tbe church, and in the family.
If it were possible to trace the cause to
party lines, which Stengcr tried to do, it
would be well to examine the tax rates of
the different States of this connlry, and the
tax rates of the different counties of this
State, and the tax rates of the different
townships, and compare the Republican
districts with those ot bis party. Stcnger
would not wait to hear such a comparison
through; and it may be quite proper to add
here, that the people of this county, desir
ing to set Juuiata county once more with
her face in the direction of economy,
should by a'.l means elect S H ELLEN
13ERGEK to the uffiee of County Com
missioner. Mr. Stenger talked about a
change. It would be well to commence
just here at home, and while the change is
going ou it would be tbe proper act to pei
fortu to elect BARTON Auditor.
From extravagance Mr. Stenger took a
tilt at office-holders, but be kept tbe fact
back that be waa then pleading that the
ni,jori,T of ,he Democratic office-holders !
Jn jUIlu,,t county were at the meeting to !
help him.
From the consideration of office-holders
be hunched into back pay, hut here, as was
bit usual way, be left a great part untold,
tie dkt not tell tbat tbe percentage of Re
puMfeans thst voted for 'Barb Pay" was
ot larger than tbe jerccatvg of Demo
crats that voted tor it. It was trot a party
measure f it was a Combination of both
parties, bnt Stenger carefullv kept that
back. It was a bard shot at Mr. Spear, bis
competitor fen Congressional nomination.
If be bad stated the names of the Con
gressmen, Democrats and Republicans al
ternately , H wonld hare been a fair state
ment, and the proportion of the two parties,
which is neaily balanced, would have been
clear to all. The Congressman ho fepre'
seated onr old district Mr. Packer voted
igainst it, aba's the Congressman who Uvea
in the present district Mr. Speer voted
for it, and thns almost evenly baUnC-d tbe
vote stands over the whole country.
President Grant was also handled for al
lowing bis salary to be increased. Stenger
did not complain of tbe Democratic Con
gressmen who at tbe tame time permitted
their salaries to be increased, neither did he
breathe the faintest expression tbat be
would work to reduce bis owa salary U bo
were a member of Congress. After spear
ing Speer over tbe aboulder of bick pay to
his heart's content, be perched himself on
the Civil Rights Bill, and deliberately pro
ceeded to quarry the colored man out of it.
The negro bas b-en the game of a the Dem
ocracy for generations, and the "bugaboo"
of equality, that the knaves of that party
have preached, baa time and again kept
men fron doing justice, not to the negro
but to themselves.
The Civil Rights Bill makes no men equal
further than in tbe Lawful pursuit ol busi
ness and pleasure. It gives tbe negro tbe
rights of all puldic places. It docs not give
him more or less of privilei of such places
than other people. He dare under it go to
church, and if the pews are free he dare
take a seat wherever vacant, and if tbe per
son at whose side be may chance to sic docs
not like it, be the disliking one may get
up, walk away to another seat, just as Mr.
Stenger would have the right to do in a
public place If we should tit by bis side and
he not like our presence. He dare go to all
schools that are kept up by s general or
public fund, to all placet of public amuse
ment, ride or walk on all public bigbwavs
for such purposes, and have tbe nse of all
public vehicles, and tbe accommodation of
of hotels kept for transient customers and
the public generally, in short be shall have
tbe rights and privileges generally accord
ed to other people in all places that are kept
open lor the use and patronage of the pub
lic, and can ouly be excluded from such
placet on the same ground that white and
othet people are excluded. Social and
private rights are different matters entirely ,
and these were the qualities" tbat Stenger
was trying to place before his audience as
stumbling blovks. The inferences to be
drawn from but harangue on the Civil Rights
Bill was that its purpose was to break down
all barriers between people in every particu
lar. He knows better. But it is only one of
the lavorito wool-pulling processes that the
erring brethren have fallen into. He, hew
evei, mistook bis audience. The people
who beard him, with few exceptions, knew
better than that. From this loving subject
of the Democracy he took up Lis perora
tion, carrying through it all the way to the
end, Allen of Ohio as tbe champion of the
latter day Democracy.
Tbe attendance at this meeting was Urge
enough, and embraced the different ages of
life between 6 and 70 years. A few ladies
were present. Tbe effect of tbe speeches
was like a shower of cold water. The au
dience expected to bear tome plan laid
down as to tbe manner of extricating the
Country from what those men complained
of. There never was an audience dispersed
by adjournment in this place to greatly dis
appointed. Mr. Stenoer, when be was here,
denounced the " Civil Kigits Bill.'
This is tbe height of incoDsistency, at
in 1872 be was for Greeley and Brown.
Tbe platform of tbe Baltimore and Cin
cinnati Conventions, that nominated
Greeley aud Brown, in tbe first and
stcond and resolutions, read as follows :
-First We recognize the equality of all
men before the taw, and hold that it is tbe
duty of the government, in its dealings
with the people, to mete out equal and ex
act justice to all, of whatever nativity, col
or, persuasion, religions or political.
"Second We pledge ourselves to main
tain the Union of these States, emancipa
tion and enfranchisement, and to oppose
any re-opci ing of the questions settled by
the thirteenth, fourteenth and titleenth
amendment of tbe Constitution."
Mr. Greeley, in entering tbe canvass
of tbat campaign, said in a speech at
New York :
"I trust the day is not far distant when
their common rights to any public convey
ance and in public meetings and institutions
will be recognized, as th-y were not recog
nized of old, aud as tbey are but imper
fectly recognized still. I hope the time
will come when ourediicationul institutions
and seminaries will be open to men of all
races, with freedom, with a hospitality
which has never yet been enjoyed. I trust
tbe time will come when no man's color
will exclude him from any church or any
religious organization whatever. So, then,
1 say with regard to our common schools,
w here a rural district contains but twenty
fiie vr thirty families, it is simply impossi
ble, where two or three of those are color
ed, o have separate schools ; and in those
cases, to aay that black children shall not
go to school with white children, is to say
tbey shall not have any schooling whatever."
Mr. Stenger eudotsed all tbat in
1872, and in editorial articles in bis
papct favored tbe Greeley movement.
We quote the following as mere brief
samples of wbat be then said :
This political revolution means tbe com
plete overthrow of all existing abuses, by
ib! substitution of a statesman for the Eo-
auletted Sphynx'who, with his headquar
ters at Long Branch, ia constructively pre
sent at Washington.
"H e cuter ihe campaign with high hopes
of success. Ours will bo the pleas
ing duty ol assisting in the great work of
reformation to tbe lull extent of our bum
ble ability."
It proves one of two things. Mr.
Stengcr is not consistent, or tbe elec
tions in tbe West have to revived tbe
hopes of his party that they expect to
control tbe next Congress and then
overthrow by legislation everything
that bas been done. He waa for Gree
ley and "Civil Rights" in 1872, now
be it loudly against it.
Was tbe Republican party came into
possession of the State Government, the
Commonwealth was weighed down br a
debt of $40,000,000, and still accumulating.
Fifteen yean, including the draining timet
ot war, bave reduced the debt one-hall.
II tbe people are wise tbey will maintain
the men who have so wisely' administered
tbe affair ef State in Pennsylvania. By
voiing ioro nielKer yon J lace vourself on
that side, and tbat la where 'ererr tax
payer ihnu'd taol.
The Democratic party
and Indiana. It means,
United States Bonds and
Free trair jobbers now have a
treaty lying in tbe United States Sen
ate that proposes free trade with Can
ada. Free trade with Canada means
free trade with tbe whole world, for all
countries can send their goods to Can
ada. Tbe slowest mind can eompre
bend tbat Canada would become the
highway over which to rend into this
country the goods of the panper labor
of Europe. Nine millions of people in
this country are dependent on the man
nfactories for support. The adoption
of the Canada treaty would deprive
tbem of tbe means of support. Min?rs,
farmers, railroad men, and other classes
cannot afford to take chances on this
question. Tbe only safe way is t vote
for Smelter. A vote for bim is sore to
be right, for in the Legislature he will
vote for a United States Senator who
will vote against allree trade interests.
The County Committee in
every district should iee to it
that every Republican voter is
out to the polls on election day.
The Committee-men are the
guardians of the organization.
Let the voters who cannot walk
to the polls be hauled thera. If
you are not to circumstanced as
to own a horse and wagon go to
some friend who has one and
tell him to loan it to you, or
use it himself in the service of
the promotion of the best in
terests of your county. Turn
out, every man, and vote for
Shellenberger.
Previous to this date we mentioned,
but it will do no harm to again slate
that certain persons bave been circula
ting tbe story through Juniata county
that General Wister, tbe Republican
candidate for Congress, is not a resi
dent of this district. This falsehood
was first published by the Harrisburg
Patriot, a Democratic paper, and bas
been industriously circulated since.
There is net tbe least truth in tbe state
ment. General WUter has bad bis
borne in l'crry county many years, and
never paid tax or voted anywhere else
except while in the army and there
has never been a time since be was old
enough to vote tbat he was not a quali
fied voter there.
John Miller, Chairman of the
Democratic State Central Com
mittee, says, "now for gold and
silver currency." That means
down with all kinds of national
currency, including greenbacks,
and in their stead State Bank
paper currency. Ask the old
men how State Bank currency
on a gold and silver basis works
in times of panic. They will
tell you that the banks will lock
up the gold and silver, and their
paper is not worth a straw. Be
ware of Miller's gold and silver
promise; it's a snare. Don't
be deluded.
lx a apeeeb made from the Washing
ton House in Cbasnberburj, during the
war, Mr. Stenger, tbe Democratic can
didate for Congress in this district,
made use of tbe following language:
"Yo another man, not another dollar to
prosecute this infernal icr. If you call
this treason, make the most of it."
Voters of Juniata county, what
think you of this 1 Are such tbe men
to rt present you in Congtess or any
where else ! Will Jon aupport a man
at tbe polls who entertained such sen
tiuients, in preference to one who risked
his life on the battle- field in defer.ee of
the Union ? Answer on tbe 3rd day of
November by your billots. ,
Vote for Patterson. He per
iled his life when you were se
curely at home. It was not in
ordinate ambition, not coward
ice or money, but the mainte
nance of the integrity of his
country that took him into the
battle against rebellion.
All miners, and all men who own
iron ore mines should vote for Wister,
for if bis opponent Stenger should
get to Congress it will be another vote
for tbe free trade interest, which, if
adopted, will break np tbe iron trade in
this country. There would be no mar
ket for iron ore ; it would not be worth
more than cemmoc dirt and stones. A
70ts for Stenger is a vote indirectly to
throw miners out of employment, and
reduce the price of iron ore to the
nriee of common dirt. 1

Tbe third term agitation bas pro
duced few more singular occurrences
than tbe formtl pronunciamento against
! it of the Washington Republican, which,
for want of information, had been really
advocating it in earnest. Its present
declarations on tbe subject are in such
