The v estero electioni bare turned
ont B great deal better tbaa was ex
pected. The National and Greenback
heresy bad got sucb a bold npoa the
pesple tbat it was ft area nothing would
be left of old landmarks ; but as the
people got to understand the delusion
and snare that is in it tbej turned from
it, and if the election bad been beid
later, one of tbe grandest Republican
achievements would have been secured,
but as it stands it is a confusing mass
of returns for both tbe Xatisnal-Green-backers
and Democrats. Last year
Ohio was Democratic bv 20,000 major
ity ; this year' all that majority baa
been overcome, and the Republican
State ticket is elected by a handsome
majority. Tbe Democracy bad the
Legislature last rear, and so divided
the Congressional district tbat the Re
publicans should bare only six of tbe
twenty Congressional delegation. It
was a disappointment to them when tbe
returns revealed that instead of the
Republican! getting ouly six tbey got
nine.
Of course lud aria tutist need b.
Democratic. The uew Congressional
delegation stands six Republicans, six
Democrats and one Greenbacker.
West Virginia, as usual, elected ber
three Democratic delegation.
Ou the Ccnsrcusioual vote, in tbe
eight Slates that have held elections,
the Republicans have lost eleven Con
gressmen. The loss may be all made
up ty a united effort ou the 5th of next
November.
The National and Greenback tide has
not been so heavy ; they gained two
Congressmen in Maine, one in Iowa,
one in Iudianv It bas spent its forie,
apparently, and tbe wholesome reaction
is setting in. if they continue to de
cline as they declined since tbe Maine
election, they will be greatly reduced
by November.

McClcbe's 7i.7im on Monday con
tained a lot'? communication from
I'ittf.lmiK. that clarges that the Re
publicans bought the Mollie Magiiire
vote for Hartmnft ia 1875, through
J.irk Kehoe, and the reason that Ke
Loe is net hung is becaube of said
service to the Governor. It is an
ugj article ; an ugly charge, and to
the untrained reader ia calculated to
do harm. Indeed, but for one thing
in it, it might influence numbers.
That part of the article that stamps
the whole of it as the height of im
probability is that now the same in
fluences are said to be brought to
bear on the Mollie Magnires. They
are row ur'ed to vote for the Green
back candidates, to save Jack Kehoe
from being hung, and they, the arti
cle says, will vote the Greenback
ticket to save him.
First, it 6ays that Kehoe is safe,
and that neither Hartranft or Hoyt
dare hang him.
Second, it says that in order to
save him the Mollies will vote for the
Greenbackers.
The intention is evidently to create
the impression that if Hoyt can be
elected Kehoe is safe, and if it had
charged that the Mollies will vote
the Republican ticket, then the tale
would be consistent ; but it becomes
wonderfully inconsistent to tell that
to save Kehoe they will vote for the
Greenback ticket If Hoyt dure not
hang Kehoe, if he stands so close to
tbem as that he is to be the savior of
their leader, it is but natural to sup
pose that he is the man for whom
they would not need to be asked to
vote. To be consistent, to save Ke
Loe, the thing to do would be to vote
for Hoyt ; but as they are declared
ready to vote the Greenback ticket,
that destroys the force of the article.
now a sober man can get such a
couple of inconsistencies together to
harmonize, is referred to JlcClure'e
Times for solution.
The tidal wave of Greenbackism
that was expected to sweep every
thing before it in the West last week,
did not amount to a great deaL They

after the West will grow stronger

BEFOBM 1
The Speer, Stenger, and Tribune Con
gressional Conference . What .Vr.
Jilagee aayi.
Tbe Tribune eoatplain that the Sen
tinel mnd Republican wronged ita can
didate for Congress. .. It aayc tbat we
charged bins with using money to buy
a eouferee away froui Mr. Magee. Tbe
T tbunt di not bave its specks on
wheu it read our brief article relative
to the Democratic Congressional Cua
ferenoe. We did not ebarge that Mr
Stinger bought a conferee, but we did
publish a report tbat was current on
tbe streets of this town when the eon
(ereaee was ia session here, which was,
tbat Snyder county conferee bad
told that he bad beeu offered money,
to leave Magee, aud vote for Stinger,
and that when he was brought to face
tbe report be denied it, but afterwards
said be bad told it in a jest or joke.
Such was the common report, and at
tbe time it was made we treated it as
a street report and published nothing
regarding it, but when the result of
the Conference was reached, which wis
many days after the report had got
oat, and it was clearly revealed that
the man tbat was pointed out 10 days
before as weak in feality to his in
structions, bad actually yielded to
certain influences, just as report point
ed oat be wculd do, tbe case at once
took rank among the remarkable cases
or coincidences that always do arouse
tbe closest attention and become sub
jects for newspaper articles, and rec
ords. At tbe time of the first report it did
not seem as a "coming event tbat
cast its shadow before," but such it
was. Tbe Tribune can readily see
both tbe shadow and substance, now
tbat the result of tbe conference has
been reached, it can readily see tbe
remarkable coincidence between tbe
report and tbe result, and it can see
tbe force of the joke, as it was called,
03 Mr. Magee.
Remarkable coincidences have al
ways beeu considered proper subjects
for newspaper articles, and that is wby
the Sentinel and Republican published
the reform perfoimauces of Mr. Steng
els conference. The work of tbe re
formers worked like a charm on the
Snyder county delegation.
History reveals many strange coin
cidences. It reveals many events that
were foreshadowed ; but, of course, it
is not to be expected tbat the acute re
form gentlemen of tbe Tribune will call
on us for such historical data, as tbey
are well versed in matters of such pro
fane reoord, of the past and modern
timet, but lest an important foreshad
owing, as recorded in tbe Sacred Rook,
has escaped their memory, we beg leave
to refresh their minds with an illustra
tion of Low events were foreshadowed
among the chosen people See Matt.
XXVlth chapter, 23rd veise, which
reads,
He that dtppelh his hand with mt ia the
dish, the tame shall betray me."
If tbe gentlemen of the Tribune re
form orgau of Hon Milton Speer, back
salary graboer to the amount of nearly
five thousand dollars, and three term
Congressman Hon. V. S. Stecger, read
on, ttiey may learn that tho quotation
just used, foreshadowed tbe betrayal,
just as tbe report about the conference
foreshadowed what the certain Snyder
county man would do.
Tbe man referred to in the quotation,
who dipped bis band in tbe dish, was
holding consultations witb certain men
high in authority ia tbe organization of
tbe orthodox clinrcb of the Jews 1S00
years ago, and tbe Snyder county man
was holding consultations with men wbo
stood close to such men as Mr. Stenger
and Mr. Speer, both men wbo stand
high in the politics of the Democracy
of this State. V ben we publish ssch
remarkable coincidence, such wonder-1
ful analogy between tbe acts of men of
centuries ago, and the acts of men of
U-dsy, the Tribune gentlemen should
not be so fussy about it.
As to the other phase of the ques
tion or report, tbat which relates to the
thirty or more pieces of silver, tbe
Tribune is referred to what Mr. Msgee
said in tbe Perry county Democnt last
week. Mr. Magee published a His
tory of tbe Conference" in last week's
Perry connty Democrat, and on the very
point tbat tbe Reform Speer-Stenger-Tribune
seeks to condemn the Sentinel
and Republican, says:
'We then deemed it to le air duty
before leaving the room, to say to the
conferees tbat we had learned tbat one
of their number bad said that be could
get $5o0 for Lis vote. This raised a
a storm and Mr. McKibben, of Franklin
became much excited and demands
were loudly made to name the man,
give our author, &c. We frankly
stated tbat no conferee bad made such
admission to us, tut that one of tbeir
number had so said, in the presence of
three or four reputable gentlemen,
whom we would biiug forward it tbe
conference would permit. But Mr.
Parker, of Fulton, protested against
bearing any "ouifide testimony" and
insisted that ire must name tbe conferee
wbo bad said be was offered, or be
could get, $500 for bis vote. Again
and again we proposed to furnish tbe
proof of such assertion having been
made by a conferee, but tbe friends of
Mr. Stenger refused to let us do so.
We were tben impelled to ask tbem
whether we were to have tbe Electoral
Commission business repeated here!
At length the old man Swineford rose
and said that some such talk about bim
bad been beard and asked us whether
be was the man ? We replied that we
desired it to be distinctly understood
tbat tee brought no such charge against
Lini or any other conferee, but that he
was tbe man so charged. He appealed
to Heaven to bear bim witness tbat be
bad not been approached, or words to
to that effect. We then turned to Dr.
Arnold, who at once came forward and
addressing- Mr. Swineford as 4our
worthy President," said, whatever tbe
motive, whethr thoughtlessly or sport
ively, be Vr. Swineford, had said, tbe
evening before, in tbe presence of two
or three other gentlemen, that be could
rt $500 for bis vote. The Doctor
tben reminded him, in truly eloquent
language, of what one of the others
present bad said' in regard to Fraud and
Con uption baying crept into a Demo
cratic conference, and bow be, tbe old
gentleman from Snyder, had so feeling
ly spoken of bis reputation and the dis
grace that wonld surely fall upon him
self and bis family were be to listen to
FUch a proposal. When tbe Doctor
had eoneluded Mr. Swineford arose and
in most solemn tones replied: "Well,
I will not deny I said so bat do money
was offered me," or voids to that affect.

ty Treasury. The fixing of the price,
or salary of the County Treasurer
belongs to the Commissioners and
the Auditors. If the voter of thin
county will elect the right kind of
men to trie oince or Commissioner
and Auditor, there will be no mistake
about the pay, for the right kind of
men will put the pay at such figures
as will do justice to all Vote for
Lemon, McMeen, VVUson, Degan and
Cooper, and the auestion of salarv
will be correctly adjusted. They are
practical every -day men, m whose
hands the interests of the county will
not 6uffer.
The constitutionality of tbe Nation
al and greenback currency as a matter
of necessity during tbe rebellion was
only maintained by one of a majority
in the Supreme Court, so tbat the cause
of Northern civilization waa as nearly
lost in the highest court of the land as
it was on the field of battle, and now
tbat a Sapreme Judge is to Le eleoted,
it is necessary that a man fully in ac
cord witb the civilization of tbe North,
or tbe civilization tbat triumphed in the
war, be put on the bench, for it looks
as if in tbe yean to eome, questions
that will affect tbe preaent system of
civilization, directly and indirectly, will
be brought up to the higher courts, and
if tbe wrong kind of Judges sit then,
there is no telling what tbe result may
be. Can you, reader, realize what tbe
result would bave been if the National
bank system and the greenback curren
cy had been declared unconstitutional
as a war measure ! So now it behooves
all wbo favor tbe present system of
civilization to see to it tbat tbey do not
rote wrong. Vote for Judge Sterrett
for Sapreme Judge ; be is not a parti
san Judge, but be is in close accord
with tbe Northern civilization, and will
be governed righteously from that
stand-point.
