Charlie l.ogs case, yet ttiere are th' u-
sauds of people who were kidnapped
from their homes and families uuier
the sanction of law, and the country
oaid nothing against it. The family
was silent, the church was silent, but
the liepublican organization said the
debauchery should be ended, aud under
the guidance of Providence it was
euded. The holiest ties of the Fam
ily, tbe soundest foundation for the
Church, and tbe best system of Gov
ernment are bound up in the ideas of
the Uepeb'ican organization. Attend
the polls and vote for the perpetuation
cf those ideas, or the men who repre
sent them.
If the liepublican party is success
ful this and next fall, the question of
free government may be set down as
twilled from tbe encroachment of sla
very, aud the country may then turn
its uiiud to tbe settlement of tbe few
lemainitig questions that are necessary
lor the establishment of a most satis
factory government for the whole peo
ple. Among them is that of banking.
One of the very objectionable features
that tlie system now recognised by State
laws is tbat of allowing the payment of
interest on deposits. The whole coun
try feels the pressure of this system on
the bu?:ucs and industry of the peo
p'.. For example, if A Las one bun
dled dollar past Liui, Le will take it to
baiik and deposit it aud receive six, or
perhaps more per cent, than that on it.
lie will not loan it to B for less than a
cent or two more, because the bank
t romises tn pay him back whenever be
aks it, whereas IS would require it fur a
fated time, and no lesa. The banks
ley this system gather up nearly all
he loose money, and (Le lusiness
and industry of the econtry niust
go there to get money, and thrre
must pay sit advanced rate of interest
It is one of the great questions for the
iiear future. Governor Ilartranft has
already turned his attention to the qaes
lion. He has already drawn the atten-
tion of the Legislature to the question,
and asked it to act on it, so as to stop j
the payment nf interest rn deposits by !
tbe banks. By voting for him yen are
certain tbat fbf qnestiou will be arain

j leaders are pandering to the Catholic
Church now, aud will continue to do so
uunl more trouble is brought on the
country, unless tbe work is stopped by
an absulu'e rebuke at the polls. Their
point of asauit is the Common School
hystem. The Commou Schools are the
bulwarks of the Republic. Take tbeui
away, and the Republic must of neces
sity become a failure. The people will
become the victims of bad men, who
wiil mould them to suit tbeir own pur
pvse. Through the scheols, as they

The C atholic Church proposes to di

as is the case in the Commou Schools.
If they succeed in that, other denom
inations way, by the same right, do
likewise, aud thus tbe system will be
broken up. Therein lies the danger.

- A similar document was sent in from
Canandaigau, and both referred to a
committee, who reported iu favor of
the resolutions, whereupou the follow
ing committee was appointed from this
Synod to appear before the uext Legis
lature : S. 1. Prime, D. D., editor of the
New York Observer ; William Howard
Crosby, D. D., of New York ; William
K. Hall, Newburg ; Hon. G. U Lane,
of New York, and Kdward Wells, of
Piekskiii. The feeliug in tbe matter
is Tery strong, and members are bold
and outspoken in their opinions.
The last national Democratic admin
istration the country Lad was that of
James Buchanan. During its four
years of mausgement it fell every year
in debt, and t the end of the term it
was $W,000,000 in debt, and I'nited
States paper on tho market at 12 per
cent, discount. All this, with seven
Siat-s in rebellion, was passed over to
the Kepublicau party in the spring of
1 861 . A nation in debt, a State iu
debt, and a rebellion organized, was
what the liepublican party received
from the Democracy when it was
voted out of power. If the Democ
racy had ruled this country a few years
longer, there would have nothing
of its institutions worth having for the
masses been left. Let every citizen
who loves the institutions of his coun
try atteud the polls, and see to it tbat
the men who did these things are n.-t
reinstated. '
. r . i
vokoi ine features or tne banting;
law mat is highly objectionable to the
country and is hard oa business people,

the banks. Governor Ilartranft has on

Thd question of tbe payment of in

prohibited from paying interest on div
posits. . The authority to borrow, tbat
they may have capital to lend, gives
them great advantages, a monopoly in
the community whre located ever in
dividual borrowers, often compelling
the latter to pay whatever rates of in
terest the former may demand. An
other objection thereto, suggested in
my la annual message, I repeat :
" Jloney will always fl w to banks pay
ing interest on deposits, and the large
surplus thus aggregated, seduced by
attractive offers, is sent to tbe great
niouey centres, where it gives more
impulse to speculation, while tbe sec
tions from which it in dnwn suffer, in
all tbeir enterprises, from the higher
rates they are compelled to pay for the
money remaining at home."
If an entire reform of Ibis evil is not
practicable, it may be greatly decreased,
by prohibiting bauks of discount from
the payment of a greater rate of inter
est than four per cent., and to the ex
tent reduced, the ability of individuals
to borrow money at lawful rates cf in
terest would be increased. Money
would remain and be used at borne, to
tbe mutual advautage of both borrower
and lender.
Governor Eartranft on the Eepeal
of Local Option.
Lat Friday afternoon, at Fairfield,
Lancaster county, Governor Ilartranft
delivered a speech, and gave bis first
public utterance an tbe question oi re
peal of Local Option. . Tbe Governor
said :
. 2tow the friends of the local option
law have a right to kuow why I signed
tbe bill of repeal. 1 signed it because
it was passed by the Legislature at
time when tbe subject had just been
fully discussed belore the teople, who
bad just elected a Legislature almost
directly upon that issue, either in a
public or in a private way. Every
representative well knew tbe sectiuicut
of bis district on that question. The
House pissed the bill by neariy a two-
thirif- 1 -' j-- - -
voie you will find that in couuties where
local option pi evaded, thirty nine voted
for repeal, hvidently tbe representa
tives from those counties felt satisfied
that public sentiment bad undergone a
! I . I I . I
oaugc or mejr wou.u u..t nave
ifie that repeal was according to the
popular Will. When the vole was
. .
taKen under tbe law, a majority ot tor-ty-eiglit
thousand voted for license ;
and iu view of the change of sentiment
referred to, 1 believe the majority
against tbe law would now reach one
hundred thousand. But the change of
sentiment was not so much against tbe
law as it was against its non-enforce
ment. It was in consequence of its
non-enforcement mainly that tbe change
was crought about Sow 1 bare noth
ing further to say. In siguiog tbe bill
for repeal I believe I acted in accord
with the popular will of the State. It
is true the highest eourt pronounced
the law constitutional, but yet, under
all the circumstances, there was noth
inp left for tue to do but to sign the
bill.
TiiEBKisto be a Democratic mass
meeting at the Court House on Friday
evening next. Their speakers will
doubtless Lave a great deal tc say about
the taking of interest on State funds
on deposit, and the management of tbe
State Treasury, though, f course, the
Democratic State Treasurers who did
such things may be expected to be left
out, and yu may be sure they will not
condemn tbe Democrats here who bave
been cursing Stambaugb for saying that
be will not shave county orders. What
a maguiCcentta'eetacle it will be to see
and bear speakers denouncing the tak
ing of interest on deposits, and to see
and hear others a around in the crowd
saying Stambaugb is a dunce, and to
forth, for saying county orders should
not be shaved.
The distant object of tbe Demo
cratic leaders who advocate inflation is
to so glut the country wttb paper niouey
tbat it will fall mto eontempt, or that
so much ofit shall be issued that it will
be plain tbat it cannot be redeemed,
and then a reaction will set in against
it, and it will be repudiated by the
country, as was Continental money.
Ohio voted against repudiation. So
will Pennsylvania next Tuesday. Truth
and honesty of purpose was strongest,
and prevailed in Ohio.
There is a strong and persistent ap
peal by leading Democrats personally
made to Republicans to vote the Dem
ocratic ticket or a portion of it, and
if tbat does not suit them they are re
quested to remain away from the polls.
It is to tbe interest of the tax-payers
of the connty to make a change, and
no personal considerations eas stand io
tbe way. If tbe Republican party at
tends tbe polls, as it should do, there
is no question about the result
r you Tote for Brown and Pene
packer, your vote is thrown away, and
neither yourself or the country is
any th more temperate. Be temper

your friends, and thereby teach it cor
reetly, but do not throw away yon suf

Governor Eartranft at lit. Joy.
Next Friday, when tha Democratic
orators at the mas meeting in the
Court House are dwelling, for tbe pur
pose of misrepresentation, on tbe ques
tion of tbe Sinking Fund of tLis Cosi
monwealth, it Will be wall to bear in
mind what Governor Ilartranft said on
that question last Saturday at Mount
Joy. He said : .
Some of tbe papers try to make it
appear as if the sinking fund is being
squandered; lost vr stolen ; but every
dollar ia eaid out regularly on warrtot
to meet tbe appropriations by the Leg
islature. When the Republican tut
down the tat on real eiato it so hap
pened that the corporation tax, assigied
by law to tbe siukug fund, made, it
larger than was necessary, whilst the
general fund was not sufficient to meet
alt tbe demands upon it. ' Then tbe
commissioners attempted to divert a
portion of tbe sinking faud to the gen
eral fund, but the Legislature, under
the lead of Secator Wallace, refused to
pass such an act,' iutenditig thus Io
foree us back to tlie tax ou real estate.
Tbe Republicans now claim credit for
relieving real estate and levying tbe
tax on corporations. ' We did this be
cause real estate was heavily loaded
with local taxation, which was not the
case with corporations. Wallace con
tended that the sinking fund could not
be disturbed by tbe Legislature, but
we did right in diverting, because the
spirit of tbe Constitution was more thau
fulfilled, because from one to two mil
lions of tbe debt was paid, anJ we Wjre
compelled to use eicking fund monev,j
tnat was over ana on nauu to meet me
wants of tbe government. Out posi
tion as t ommissioners of the Sinking
Fond was not a pleasant one. But( as
one of the Commissioners, I contend
tbat we did our duty, for the debt, in
whatever shape, Lad to be paid, I
speak of this becanso 1 feel that I am
very tcuch misrepresented. Iu my an
nual message 1 explain this matter fully.
And yet, is the face of the fact that
the general fund was insufficient, the
Legislature appropriated a million and
a quarter. They might as well -have
made it four . millions, because there
was no money to pay it, and therefore
tbe Commissioners were forced either
to take money from tbe sinking fund or
elso let the public charities go. Before
we acted we gave them notice that if
they wanted tbeir appropriations paid
they must divert, and this they could
bave done, for there was an excess of a
million, and jet they refused to make i
the transler. . It was tortunate, indeed,
tbat there was just enough in tbe gen
eral fund to rave the soldiers' orphans'
schools. -
Tli E howls of the Democrats in Ohio,
that tbey were beaten by money and
fraud, would be amusing, were tbey not
evidently uttered for the purpose of
hiding their own fraudulent misdeeis.
The fact that the Democrats were in
power proves tbat the Republicans
could not practice the frauds npon them ,
that are charged. iiut this aside, a

I.t 1S2S tbe Democratic party eamo
into power in this State. No debts
then incumbered tbe Commonwealth.
In 1854 tbey were voted ont of power,
leaving for those who came after tbein
a debt of $40,000,000. What would
the deb be now if tbey bad remained
in power to this date t ( 'itizens of J u
niata, are you prepared to help rein
slate tbe party that bo burdened tbe
State, in times of peace and low prices 1
During tbe rebellion and since, through
time of great extravance, engendered
by tbe war, and through time of high
prices, brought about by tbe same
cause, the Republican party reduced
the debt more tbaa one-half.
The Court House is an ornament to
tbe town, a ciedit to tbe architect and
builders, but it could bave easily been
done without in these times when tbe
whole country is struggling to get out
of debt. Men are now talking about
a new jail. Tbat would also be a
handsome improvement to the town and
country. But the people do not wish
a new jail now. Vote for the Repub
lican niatiagctnent, and yon will be sure
to bave no new jail within three years.
The Democrats have been denounc
ing tbe uking of interest on the funds
of tbe State on deposit in banks. Gov
ernor Ilartranft, in several messages to
tbe Legislature, Las gone a great deal
further than tbat. He baa denounced
tbe taking of interest on deposit, from
private parties as well as from tbe State.
Stambauc.h says that if be ia elec
ted County Treasurer, tbat county pa
per shall not be shaved by any conni
vance of bis. Vote for Stambangh.
Fobtt thousand more votes were
polled in the late election in Ohio than
ever before. Hayes' majority is 6,549.
How much stock do you lake in
folks who condemn people who say that
county orders sball tot be shaved t
Democratic inflation means in a few
years repudiation. Reader, are yon
prepared for that.

Because, although when tbe civil

volunteered as a soldier to preserve tbe
Union and served in tbe army from the
leginning of the war until its triumph

Stead man the most brilliant and im
portant repulse of Lee's legion achiev
es by the Army of the Potomac.
Because, like thousands of other

Because bis two terms in the office
of Auditor General of the Common
Commonwealth showed biui to possess
high executive : qualifications, which
aided largely in giving efficiency to the
revenue service and fiumeea of the
Slate, in enforcing economy and re
trenchment, and Hi the reductiou of
debt and interest.
"Because this capacity Las been still
more strougly demoustrated in his per
formance of the responsible dunes of
the office of Governor, in wbien he has
coniiuued the same excellent financial
policy as before, with great advantage
to the people of tho Commonwealth.
" Because as Governor be vetoed at

special legislation left on tho calendar

which the taxes bad not been paid, the

the interest of no section, and of no
man or tet of men, national, State or

Commonwealth.
Because uuder bis administration
tbe debt of tbe Stale Las been reduced
more iban a million of dollars every
year without auy increase of taxation,
and solely by the taitblul collection ot j
the revenues and the economical man- ;
agemcnt of the rublie funds. !
" Because by tbe continuance of such
a policy of administration tbe State has
a ccrtaiu prospec. of being finally out
of debt withiu a comparatively brief
period of true, while all experience
shows that by a restoration of Demo
cratic rule the progress of debt reduc
