The Contradictions of the Demo
crat and Register-Its Condem
nations for Declaring Against
the Dishonoring of County Pa
per, Against the Shaving of
County Orders.
More than four columns of tint Democrat
and Register, but week were devoted to tbe
bolstering npof tuu Democratic cause in
this county. A fresh corps of writers were
put on it, and all their arts were employed
to bring forward tbe thread-bear picas that
it has published in pa it canqaigns. These
new editors dressed and redressed tlie ques
tions until the harmony of all was cutirety
dressed out of tbein. Their productions
stood np one against another, fearful speci
mens ol contradictions. They did right
well aa specimens of composition, but far
ther than that they were coniplete failures.
By way of illustration, they remind one of
the story of that animal so much talked of
in sacred history, and rcspecUuIly men
tioned by profane writers the ass. It is
told of thai iiiMoricul beast that once upon
a time, while mo-?;ng in his native pasture
his ears were gr-. t -.1 by the sweetest strains
of music. '-Ah no,"' said the ass to hiui
sell, "that is truly delicious music. Music
is nothing more tliau uoisc I can make a
greater noise than that," and straightway
be set up a most dread I ul braving. It was
noise, but it was not uiu:c. So precisely
with the Democrat and Register last veck.
It was eeuipoaition that it published, but
there was nothing in it that can he p their
cause,. There was no argument in it that is
calcntated to benefit the Democratic party
in this county. Tbe scries of articles that
it published axe but a series id condemna
tion of itse.f. We hare not the space to
enter into a consideration of tho masses of
contradictions they contain. We cau only
direct attention to one, trusting to the in
telligence of the reader to see the others
w ith this guide.
Take, lor instance, tbe article beaded,
" Importance of the Campaign." It is a
vigorous denunciation of State Treasurers,
lor using, for their own purposes, the inter
est on Stat" funds that had accumulated
while the funds lay in bank on deposit
That is the "gist" or "pith" of the article.
One would think from the tone of it that
the Democratic State Treasurers of tbe past
did no urh thing. Their condemnation
goes 03 further back than to Republican
State Treasurers, and to read the Register's
article one would Incline to the opinion
that tbe management of that paper stood in
holy horror cf the taking of interest of
State funds on deposit, but the effect of the
w hole article is spoiled and rendered con
temptible by tbe very next one below it in
the aame column, headed, uTht Latest -i
Scarry Trick," The last named article is
a bitter denunciation of Mr. Starnbangh for
having potted biUs throughout the county,
in which he stated that it he is elected
County Treasurer he will not shave County
Orders. To be consistent with tbe first ar
ticle of the Register we have mentioned,
that piper should have praised SUu.baugh
for the declaration on these poster. The
to articles cut each other through and
through. The one is a condemnation of
the other. It the State Treasurers shall
- rot ne tbe interest on State funds on de
posit, bow dxre a County Treasure! think
of shaving county orders t To shave coun
ty paper is infinitely worse than to take the
interest accruing from Stale or county
funds on deposit. The taking of the hiter
est is simply taking what the money earns
w bile it is lying idle, or when it is not in
the service of the State or county, but to
shave it is not only to cut off its interest,
but it is an actual cutting down of the val
ue of the face of tbe paper. It is an act of
actual dishonoring of tbe psper. It is
giving the Ho to its promise pay it face
promise.' Tbe Democrat and Re fitter con
demns Stauibangh for publishing that the
county orders shall be kept at parythat they
shall not be dishonored. Fellow citizens of
Juniata, what 6V yon thiuk of the party
who will Ccudeuin a man for saying that the
county promise to pay Shall not be dishon
ored, shall not be shaved f
Crrucss of Jauiata connty, have yon
thought of tbe duty yon have to discharge
on the 2nd of November t and the" respon
sibility that rests on you for the manner in
which you discharge that dutyf We be
lieve it to be the duty of every good citi
zen to go to the election and vote. Those
who do not, are indirectly responsible for
all the evil consequences that may flow
from the election of bad men or if the
candidate himself may not be object ionaUe,
the principles be represents my be and
their disapproval or endorsement depends
on the action of each individual voter.
Great questions bave entered into the
politics of Stales that bave but recently
voted, notably that of Ohio questions that
are ol the most vital importance, and that
may soon bave to be met at the polls by tbe
people at tbe general election. They aftvet
all elections to a greater or less degree now.
The Roman Catholic church claims a di
vision of Ihe school fund to support their
parochial schools? They have been quietly
aiming at this for yean each year becom
ing bolder and more persistent in their de
mands. In Ohio but year they demanded
tbe enactment of a law giving them a share
of the school fund, raised by general taxa
tion, to support their sectarian schools, and
the priests and bishops of that church
promised the " solid, unbroken Catholic
vote" to that rty that would pass the Uw.
Tbe Democratic j arty had a majority in the
Legislature, and tliey favored its passage
thus allying themselves with the priests and
bishops of the Pope ol Rome, in order to
help I hem into power. The late fierce po
litical struggle in that State was fought
partly on that issue, and resulted in a vic
tory for the Republicans and a triumph in
favor of religious lib.-rty.
Tbe same agencies arc quietly at work in
Pennsylvania. The same object b sought
to be obtained here as well ss in Ohio. The
priests and bishops are as actively at work
here as they were there (but quietly) in per
suading their ignorant followers to vote the
Democratic ticket ; for, as Bishop G ilmonr
said, "it is to that party alone we can look
tor aid." .
Now, voters of Juniata county, are you
in favor of dividing tbe taxes yon pay with
the Roman Catholic, or any other church,
to support their sectarian schools. If yon
are not, then go to the election and vote
the Repub'ican ti keL The Republican
platform declared against such ditision,
and the candidates are opposed to it, not
solely because the platform on which they
were nominated is agaiust it, but from priu
ciple and honest convction that to oppose
it is right. See to it then that tliey are
sustained, for by doing that you defeat tbe
division of the school fund.
The Ohio Election.
As a rale it is safest to take the word of
those wbo lire nearer to the place of tntns
actinn of an event, than tint of those who
live distant from it. Under thit rule it is
presumable that Pittsburgh people know
quit as much and more about tbe Ohio
election than those at more distant points.
The Pittsburgh Gazette writes of the elec
tion in that Slated thus:
The election in Ohio, Tuesday, was the
most severely contested and singular, as re
gards the irregularity in voting, that baa
been known in any S tate these many years.
No ordinary basis of estimate is of any
account this year, as there baa been an inde
pendence in voting that sets all rules of
computation at defiance. Republican dis
tricts bave gone Democratic, and Demo
cratic districts have gone Republican. Cary
proved more of a dead weight to the Dem
ocratic ticket than was expected, although
very many cut him who voted for Allen.
In districts where iron-mills, and discon
tented workmguien abounded, the Demo
crats gained, though not so largely as we
expected. On tbe contrary, in the farming
districts, the Republicans gained heavily.
In the Western Reserve we did not do as
well as we expected, yet in Hamilton
connty there was a cemplete turn-over. It
is very evident that we have the Legisla
ture, a decided change, and we estimate
Hares' majority at from $1,000 to 5,000.
Such is the summary of results the latest
figures give.
This turn over in Ohio is an event of far
greater importance than will, at first sight
j be comprehended, nad Allen been elected
i by a small majority, it would not have been
cither wonder! nl or significant. It would
have represented the fact, merely, that the
Democracy held their own. In their strug
gle to retain what they had, they employed
every resource and energy at their com
mand. Popular prejudice was pandered to,
and the fears of tbe timid were excited.
Money was spent unstintedly, and meetings
were held in rapid succession, regardless of
expense. It wss a desperate battle, made
in the full consc iousness of its importance,
snd with a perfect realization of what de
feat meant. Never did desperate pirates
fight more determinedly for their lives than
did Allen and bis crew for the retention of
power. But they have lost.
On the other hand, tho Republicans were
determined to bravely and earnestly meet
the issue, and fight the battle to the end.
Aa against wild inflation, tbey presented
the effort to ultimately reach the honest re
demption of currency in specie. As against
a Catholic alliance, the Republicans favored
free schools. As agaiust dishorns! bidding
of votes, they presented an honest showing
of principles, and the result shows that
honesty is the best policy, u politics as well
as in business. It is, indeed, the old story,
tbe Democracy cutting away from honest
principles, iu the hope of power, and the
Republicans adhering to their sentiments,
even tliongh defeat at one time threatened.
Tbe result justified them, and, at the same
time, rewarded their adherence to the right.
The moral effect of this victory on the
issue in this State cannot be over-estimated.
It will inspire to vigorous effort ; and as tbe
element of confidence is already with the
Republicans, it will be our fauit if we do
not elect Uartnuift and Rawle by an over
whelming majority. It is now time to thor
oughly rouse ourselves for the conflict here.
Tbe Democracy are not hopeful or inspired,
but we want a victory, the Moral effect of
w hich will reach over into the Presidential
year and give the inspiration of victory to
us then. We call upon the State Central
Committee to thoroughly rouse itself to its
work ; and with the coming of November,
ihe death-knell will be sounded over the
new-born inflation hopes of tbe Democratic
party.

Eepublican Meetings.' at Fort
. Royal and Mifflintown, Last
Thursday and Thursday Even
ing.:. Last Thursday afternoon, by per
mission of tbe management of tbe Ju
niata Agricultural Society, a Republi
can meeting was beld on tbeir grounds
at Port Royal. Dr. J P. Sterrett,
Chairman of the Republican s Couny
Committee, called the meeting to order,
after which Prof. David Wilson was
elected. President,, and tbe following
gentlemen Vice Presidents : John
Motxer, David Minicban, John Wood
ward, Luke Davis, William Sterrett,
Samuel Walters, Orin Groninger, and
Prof. David Robison and Mr. John E.
Parker Secretaries of tbe meeting.
The presence of Governor Hartranft
would bave been beartily welcomed by
the large multitude of people on tbe
grounds. Tbe death of the Attorney
General of this Commonwealth, lion.
Samuel E. Dimmick. rendered tbe Gov
ernor's presence at llarrisburg neces
sary. Mr. McPberson, Mr. Lear and
Mr. Ilerr, also, were uuavoiJablv ab
sent. Hon. M. Urnsius, of Lancaster, was
present, and npon an introduction by
tbe President, delivered an address,
that was listened to with marked atten
tion. Democrat and Republican stood
side by side in tbe audience, and list
ened to bis amplification of t'le ques
tions at issue before tbe country, ilis
remarks were not of tbe sparkling, ex
pletive character that naturally come
to tbe surface and seek expression dur
ing turbuleut times, as during the re
bellion, when men looked each other in
tbe eyes with a feeling that generates
bloody strife, but be addressed bimsrlf
in language that was replete in recog
nition of tbe truth that tbe assembly
was there a mingling people, witb tbe
best of intentions one for auotber, and
all seeking tbe general good, and all
ready to act iu tbat way when con
vinced ttiat their heretofore chosen path
bad not been tbe correct one. Mr.
Brosios displayed rare judgment in dis
cerning tbe mind of the Assembly, and
rarer ability still in expressing himself
n such a way tbat he was in aeeord all
of the time of tbe delivery of bis ad
dress with his audience. '
During the eveniug of tbe same day
there was meeting beld in tbe Court
House in Mifflintown.'., Dr. J. P. Ster
rett was present, and by vittue of office
cf Cbsirtuau of County Committee,
called tbe meeting to order, whereupon
John W. Mutbersbaugb, Esq., was
chosen President, with L. E. Atkinson,
Samuel Xotestiue', Win. M. AUwon,
G. W. Wilson, J. M. Hower, D. F.
Stevens, li. F. Scbwcier, Vice Presi
dents, and John Horning, E. W. H
Kreider, Joseph Martin and Samuel
Lapp, Secretaries. - - -
Hon. A. 'J.5 ilerr,' of llarrisburg,
wbo bad come up in Fast Line, was in
troduced to tbe audience as the first
speaker. Mr. Herr's speech 'was a
strong one and bristled throughout witb
tbe startling truths of tbe day and the
hour. It is a source of regret tbat it
cannot be presented in full to tbe
reader. After an introduction tbat
was most appropriate to the occasion,
be dwelt in fitting terms on " what the
Republican party bad done," and thence
on to tbe consideration of " shall tbe
Democratic party take its place," and
thence on to the question as to whether
tbe "Democratic party cau be trusted
These were strong points and were pre
sented in a mauner tbat became tbeir
strength. Rut be passed from tbeir
consideration to tbat of "Hxrd times,"
aad said :
"But, fellow citixens, the Democratic
party does not wuit to bear of "what
tbe Republican party bas done." It
does not wish to bear tbe question
raised, Shall tbe Demoeratic party take
the place of the Republican party ?
except in the affirmative. It docs not
wish to bave tbe question raised, "Can
the Democratic party be trusted " It
does not wish to bear these points
talked about. Tbey are bitter pills for
it to swallow, and it pleads for charity
"let tbe dead past bury its dead."
Oh, jes! That is just what every
offender says when he is brought to the
bar of justice. And in order to darken
counsel witb a multitude of words, tbe
leaders would like to divert public at
tention from them. Naturalists speak
of an insect tbat has tbe faculty of
throwing out dust when attacked, and
tbeu making its escape from danger
under the cloud it thus raises. And I
think we bave beard something about
throwing a tab to the whale. Now, the
Democratic party has been imitating
these devices by charging the Republi
can party with bringing on tbe
HARD TIMES.
It is absurd to charge the Republi
can party with tbe bard times. "It is
wrong, ns 7, worse, criminal. Tbe times
are bard we know, and tbe fear is tbey
will beeome worse before tbey become
better.' Tbat man's heart must be
harder than tbe netber millstone, wbo
can look npon tbe distress around bim
and not feel keenly for tbe sufferings
of the workingmen. .The nobility of
labor t-d tbe long pedigree of toil
awake a reverence to tbe breast never
accorded to any scion of tbat genealog
ical tree stuck in tbe body of William
tbe Conquerer, with decay in its roots
and idioe in its branches ! . For the
free, intelligent laborer is tbe proudest
treasure of our Commonwealth. Rut,
wbat bas the Republican party to do
with his present troubles ? About as
much as it bad to do with tbe late cy
clone tbat devastated Texas. Tbe bard
times are owing to other causes causes
beyond the control of statutory enact'
meats, originating in certain tinmuta
bl principles of political economy as
unwavering in tbeir operations as Ihe
decrees of fate. When tbe war broke
on ns there was an instant demand for
all kinds of commodities. The ordi
nary supply was not sufficient. -. To
meet it furnaces and forges and fac
tories and mills sprang up all over tbe
land. ' Rut still tbe demand went on
increasing. Government became a pur. 1
chaser in the mtrkets for every thing
tbat tbe different industries produced.
Tbe regular and uniform demands of'
the country not only bad to be met,
but tbe abnormal and extraordinary
ones created by the rebellion bad to be
answered. The Gcterament was- a
heavy buyer of enal and1 iron, and of
everything necessary to feed and elothe
tbe armies. A!l branches of trade were
stimulated by tbe excessive strain put
upon tbem. Prices went up and wages
went up. - Tbe country seemed to be
prosperous, but tbe - thoughtful man
knew better." He knew that that the
whole thing was delusive, hollow and a
snare. .Money was abundant nl men
thought they were on tbe royal road to
wealth. Extravagance crept into all
ranks of society, and profusion and
prodigality ruled tbe hour. Honest
thrift bad to bide her bumble bead and
retire from tbe din and glare of this
unreal glitter. This state of things
continued until tbe wir ended. And it
wonld have been well if we bsd then
taken pause and considered. Rut tbe
furnaces and forges and mills and fac
tories and mines went on prodneing
tbeir eoiEtaodities. Tbe natural eon"
sequence was that in a short period
there was such an iuimer.se accuwula
tion that tbe supply exceeded tbe de
mand. It could not be used. There
were no purchasers. Then wbat fol
lowed ! Why, production had to be
I stopped. Labor was net needed and
. thousands of men were turned out of
work. In a little time the small borde
they bad laid by for a rainy day was
consumed, and tbey were compelled to
stand in the market places idle ready
and willing to work at anv price ; but
no work could be had. Values of all
kinds began to shrink. Four hundred
millions of railroad coupons went to
protest in one year. Large banking
bouses began to fail, carrying down
with them man) smaller concern each
one, however, affecting individuals and
families, nntil the circle of ruin, ever
widening, at last enclosed tbe whole
country. And then, as if tbe malice
of circumstances would make tbe disas
ter as deplorable as possible, the Chi
cago fire came like a demon to annihi
late tbe last vestige of hope that mat
ters might be readjusted ! Is it any
wonder that bard times are npon us !
All clas-cs are touched by the calam
ity, the rich and the poor as well. . Rut
how is the Republican party resporiM
; ble ! ' The logic of facts must be
twisted out of all shape and reason to
do that. But, it is said, if the Cur
rency Rill passed by Congress bad not
been vetoed, tbe bard times wonld bave
been avoided. -Rut the assertion is a
fallacy. Wbat good would it do tbe
laboring man if greenbacks were as
plenty as blackberries, if be could not
get any ! Aad bow could he get any ex
cept in payment of bis labor? But bis la
bor is not needed, and will not be needed
nntil the surplus accumulations are con
sumed. From what quarter tbea shall
relief come! .It will not come from
platforms or resolutions or speeches or
acts of Congress. ' These things are
worse than vain. ; No change of admin
istration can help matters, for the pol
icy of no party can check or interfere
witb tbe inevitable operations of the
laws of trade. These will move on in
tbeir prescribed orbit with the grind
ing aud remorseless exactitude of tbe
ebb and flow of the tidea of tbe ocean.
No ! Relief can only come from time.
Time at last will make all things even.
England aod Fiance bave gone through
a similar ordeal, and no nation, of which
we bave ever heard, bas escaped the
depressions and fluctuations of trade.
When the glut In tbe markets, eiused
by over-production, is removed, the
industrial interests of tbe country will
revive, and then the furnaces and forges
and mills will show their wonted ac
tivity, while out of the clash and clacg
aod bom of returning prosperity they
will compose a song which shall thrill
tbe hearts of tbe people witb thankful
ness. But, patience must do her per
feet work before this can come to pass "
Mr. Ilerr passed from the considers
tion of "Hard Times" to the question
of Currency, wbioh he disensed in a
most convincing way, aad closed in a
peroration in these words :
These, fellow citixens, are some of
tbe questions, tbe issues, the principles
and consequences now before tbe peo
ple for tbeir decision. Shall tbe de
mand of the Democratic party be
granted T Shall the magnificent edifice
erected by tbe blood, the toil, tbe pa
triotism of tbe Republican party to per
petuate tbe glory of our common coun
try, be transferred to men whose male
dictions rested upon it as they saw it
rise grand and stately in all its beauti
ful proportions ? - Let tbe Arch Angel
plant his feet on the highest peak of
your loftiest mountain and sound bis
trumpet through tbe land. Earth bears
the summons and tbe sea ! Nature
feels tbe awful silence of dread expec
tation. Tbe waters move with infinite
trembling and tbe dust stirs witb mys
terious compulsion ! Tbey come ! the
sheeted deed, an innumerable caravan
tbat no man cau number.. From tbeir
watery graves and unmarked resting
places tbey come with shattered limb,
broken tody, scarred with rifle shot and
sabre cnt. From the pens of Aoder
sooville tbey crawl vile with vermin,
starved, naked and diseased, loathsome
and ghastly in tbeir pitiful condition !
Grimed with powder and black from
tbe smoke of battle, they stand an im
mortal army of dead heroes. Suffer
ing bas scored it deepest lines on tbeir
brows, telling of the weary march, tbe
midnight alarm, tbe shock of dying !
Tbeir tattered banners bang sileut in
tbe ghostly air, but speak of tbe des
perate conflicts which ones raged around
them in tbe band to band fight witb
pistol and cold steel ! And from this
mighty multitude, gathered from the
North and South, from the East and
West, a voice is beard crying : Oh !
our countrymen ! guardians of tbe Re
public ! shall these things be forgotten
and onr death be in vain !"
Mr. Rrosiua was tbe second speaker.
Fie reviewed the financial crasbe3 of
1819, 1827, 1837 aud 1857. They
were caused by over production, over
trading, too much debt. Tbe were
canted by a violation of the laws of
trade, and not by any direct policy of
the administrations noder which tbey
happened. , The crash of 1873 was tbe
first that happened under Republican
rule. It is traceable to tbe same
causes, and not to tbe Republican
party. Rut if there bad been tbe same j
kind of currency in 1873 as there was
under Democratic administrations in
1819, 1827, 1837 and 1857, the crash
would bare been a great deal Worse
than it is or bas been. . The present
currency bas saved thousand) of men
from bankruptcy, and saved slillionsin
sLrinkage in the prices of property and
commodities. It is a crime to charge
the results of the late crash on the Re
publican party.
Y Mr. Brosios passed thence on to tbe
consideration of the finance and taxa
tion of this Commonwealth, and on to
other points and questions, all of which
be rendered in a manner highly orator
ical and logical. Upon the completion
of bis addret-s the meeting adjourned.
