In tbe large towns of Ohio and In diana, where manufacturing people are asfenibled, the Republican vote ia large. They .have learned that tbe Knglisb Cobdeo Clnb and tbe I'etnocralie party are working for tbe eauie end, namely, that of free trade. Vote for Fisher. General Hancock will have to be topped in bis writing of letters, or tbe Cincinnati platform, ou which be stands, will bare to be reconstructed. He writes one thing, and the platform says another thir.g. What a spectacle. The principles of the Republican party are broad ; tbey embrace tbe common lights of every man. Not u with tbe principles of tbe Democratic party, or the principles of tbe leaders of the Democratic party. Tbeir prin ciples are narrow. Tbey believe that tbe common rights should not be ex tended to all men. Vote for Fisber. Hancock ba3 not replied to what Grant said about of bis rule in Louisi ana, and if bis acswer, when it comes, is as contradictory i.f the record as bis letter on Suu'heru claims, and as bis late letter on the tariff is contradictory of tbe tariff plank of the Democratic platform, be bad better never answer. Ail of Hsucock's letters so far bave been contradictory of plain Democratic record. Democratic leaders are trying to keep their people from lefcring tbe sink ing ship of Dtiuocracy in droves by telling them that the election in Indi ana was local only. Straupe story to tell to pecple who know that the elec tion was for a Governor, for Congress men, and for a Legislature, and that tbe Legislature will elect a United States Senator. The new Senator will be a Republican. Queer local election that. m Tue Greetibackers professed to be tbe champions of tbe labor interest, and jet, ne w, in this district, conference Lands them, body, breeches and all, over to the Democracy, which, if it gets iuto power, wiil so remodel the revenue or tarift laws of this country that tbe manufacturing estab'isbuieiiis, or tbe greater portion of them, will be coin pe'Ied to close their doors or reduce the wages of tbe men employed to their works to tbe wages paid by European manufacturers. Vote for Fisber. General Hancock has been most unfortunate in the letters that be baa written. II19 first letter since tbe nom ination was an endorsement of tbe Cin cinnati platform, and an acceptance of the candidacy for tbe Presidency, and if tbe Geueral bad not written another letter after that, be would stand better before tbe country now. He wrote a letter since, on tbe question of claims, and said that no one wants to bave Southern claims paid, when tbe fact is of world wide knowledge that millions of dollars of Southern claims are new on file in the archives of Congress. That was too great a blunder for a Presidential candidate to make. He Las written a letter on tbe tariff. He ays it is a local question. Tbat is an other blunder, which is as great as tbe blunder on tbe question of claims, for the question of tariff ia a question for Congress to adjust, and is for tbat re a n, as well as for other reasons, a Na tional question. He bas written a let ter trying to mike it appear that he is in favor of a tariff for proteotion, but when be wrote tbat be indirectly denied bis letter of acceptance, for iu tbat be pledged himself to the Cincinnati plat form, and tbat is opposed to a protec tive tanff Hancock may be a superb looking soldier, and a good fighter, but 1 is letters are sad commentaries on bis acquaintance with tbe records of tbe country, and the records of bis party. Tbe general who will write an endorse ment of a policy as expressed in Lis party platform, and shortly afterwards write that be favors something else, is 1 not tbe quality of man to put into tbe I'rtaidcuii&l cUir. ' Eepublican Meetifcg at Yan Wert The Garfield and Arthur Club of Walker township met in Van Wert school boaae on Uat Thursday evening, with President TV. H. Moore in tbe chair and Secretary A. Ober hol iter at the desk. Jeremiah Lyons was introduced by the chairman, and said ia substance : air. President and fellow-citizens: The people or this country are once more in tbe midst of a Presidential campaign. It has been said tbat these elections come too fre quently, but 1 think not. When properly conducted they are great educators of the people, The mind of tbe public ia brought to bear on tbe theory of government. The questions or issues are discussed, and tbe attention of society U thereby directed to tbe affairs of government. The attention of tbe public mind ahonld be directed frequent ly to the affairs of government. Govern D.ent is for the whole people, and without a careful survey of the policy and acts ef the two parties tbat usually claim the suffrage of tbe people there caa be no intelligent conclusion reached. The professions of candidates are conflicting. It will not do to play the part of a blind party aealot, to stand to the back of bad men through thick and thin. If men are not the right kind of men they should not be supported. But men may honestly differ as to policy. One mm may look at a question in this way, whilst another man may view it in an en-, tirely different light. One man believes in a proltctire policy, another believes in a revenue policy. The Tariff is tbe GaiaT QrasTtos. Tbe question of tariff is before the peo ple in this campaign. It is a great and im portant question. Tbe question of a high tariff or low tariff has at different periods in tbe past been before the country, and on every occasion, or during the period when a protective tariff prevailed times were good, and tbe country prospered. Ia 1821 the tariff' laws were repealed, and a panic prevailed. The tariff was restored in 1832, and times immediately revived. Tbat tariff was repealed, and again a panic followed. The tariff was restored in 1842, and tbe Democracy carried the election for Polk by professions of friendship for the tariff of 1642 ; but once they were fully inaugurated they repealed the tariff laws. The Republi cans cauie iuto power, and tbe present tariff laws are the outgrowth of Congressional action since 1801. So far tbey have been able to resist tbe efforts of tbe Democracy to repeal the laws in question. . All Penn sylvania will be affected by a repeal of the tariff laws. We in Pennsylvania are pro ducers, and if we are brought into compe tition with European labor, millions of cap ital that is invested in manufacturing estab lishments will be lost, and business will be so disturbed that the change will seem like a general ruin. That ia what is at stake. The Republican party maintains that the tariff is not too high. It fosters the Amer ican manufacturer, and creates a market for tbe farm products. It is to the interest of all to insist that the tariff be maintained. The Sonth wants a reduction of the tariff. Tbe Democratic party ia in favor of a re peal of the tariff law. The Cincinnati plat form is in favor of a tariff for revenue only, and if you take the Constitution of the Con federate Government you will discover tbat the tariff clause iu the Democratic platform and the tariff clause of the Rebel govern ment are alike, in this that they both oppose legislation to promote or toster any branch of industry. It was Confederate influence that secured the free trade clause in the Cin cinnati platform. The aanie men that man aged the Confederacy of the South managed the Cincinnati Convention, and if the Democ racy are elected to a controling position in tbe government, we may look for the same troubles tbat took place in lStiO. The same men confront ns as in 1860. They are as arrogant, is grasping as ever. The South send 106 of a delegation to Congress, and all are Democrats excepting one or two. Tho North sends 41 Democrats to Congress. How will the 41 control the 1051 That's the way the case stands now. If such a state of affairs is to be made worse by elect ing a Democratic President, who an stand up against their legislation T Can the 41 Democrats of the North stem the tide, even if they should express a willingness to do so. The Caucus rules the Democracy, and tbe Southern brigadiers rule the caucus. Senator Bayard could not stem the enrrent against caucus rule. Their caucus is held in secreJ ; no one know what they do. Ia it safe to give te control of affairs to such menf The 105 were all rebels, excepting about one d ozen. Hancock f" valiant soldier, but what will Hancock be iu 'he hands of such men. He canuot be stronger than his party, ir be should attempt to Irtistrale their designs they would shorten hi government supplies, as they attempted to do with Hayes. Take the Senate. Its business is controlled by committees ; there are twenty-eight committees. The South holds hi teen of the chairmanships just tbe coul-oling power they had in 1860, except ing tbat they have not the President. They threatened secession iu case of the election of Abiahani Lincoln, and now thev threaten to control tbe government They are intol erant; they do not permit a discussion of the questions at issue in the campaign ; they ignore a tree election and a lair count, while the tree North accords all such privi leges to them and tbeir friends. Tbe Gretn backers thought to try it among them, but they were driven out. It is the duty of the intelligent North to prevent their election. II elected, they will get what ihey fought tor in ltiol ; they will get it through legisla tion of Congress. The brigadiers could not be kept from inling; Blackburn and Toombs boldly proclaim it that tbey will rule. Then- claims that are on tbe Congressional calen dar are championed by Hill and other such men. Tbe Democracy of the North will have to submit ; the Southern Democrats will outnumber the Northern Democrats two to one, aud the latter will bave to sub mit, or be ruled out and get nothing. Why did they nominate Hancock? Be cause the Southern Democrats knew it would be useless to nominate one of their own number; they knew, too, bow be had ruled in 1867, in their favor in Louisiana ; how on certain occasions he told soldiers to take off the blue, as it was distasteful to them. As a soldier be did his duty. This county bas soldiers who did their duty as well ; made ts great sacrifices as be drl ; left home and family, and perhaps tbe lat ter in want, to serve their country, nan' cock did no more. Against such a doubt ful candidate the Republicans bave placed in nomination General Garfield, man of the highest excellence, a man who few can ever equal in point of ability and erai neuue. The men who put np 329 ran never approach to the chuacter that he has at home, and among those who know him. No truthful charge can be made against him. So much for Garteld ; but what of the party back of him Ton know its public record. But for it t"e Union of the Stales would have been destroyed, and slavery would have been permanently en throned on tue NortU AaieiKan continent. When the Confederate war was over it re duced the indebtedness tbat was incurred to put down the rebellion. It kept up the public credit under the most persistent efforts to crush it, and to-day the bonds of the Government sell everywhere in tbe money markets of the world. It is useless to suppose that if a man is dishonest in his private, or borne affairs that be will be honest if be be elected to office. If we measure the South by that standard what becomes of it f The South has been dishonest in two-thirds of her home trans actions, is canals and railroads, having re pudiated fully two-thirds of such obliga tions. Put them into possession of tbe G eneral Government, and wbat wild schemes for the repudiation of the National obliga tions will tbey not start f Tbey charged the panic of 1873 on the Republican party, when in truth it was the collapse from the inflation oi the effort to break up the Union. Tilden denounced tbe finance of the gov ernment, and they took np with him. They do not now talk much about retrenchment and reform. The Cobden Club is their right hand power now ; it furnishes much of their corruption fund. With it as tbeir ally for free trade, and Hancock as their candidate, tbey expect to win. B. F. Schweier was introduced by the president of the club, and said in substance : Mr. President and fellow-cltis ens : One of tbe most romantic incidents found in the every day life of tbe founder of a great people is related in tbe Bible. You remem ber bow it is related that a youth journeyed in the country of the East, and how became to a well, around which were three flocks of sheep, one Hock of which was in charge of a young woman. It was tbe first meet ing of Jacob and Rachel, one of the most important meetings that ever took place be tween roan and woman. With them it waa "lore at first sight." When Rachel learned tbat the pleasant youth in her presence was her cousin she sent a speedy messenger to her father, who came, and escorted Jacob to his house. Tbe youth tarried there one month, and then La ban said to Jacob, I would like to bave you stay with ns," and tbey fell to bargaining as to what Jacob would have to live with bis uncle. Said Jacob, "I would like to bave Rachel to wed. Tbey talked it ovei, and it was agreed that Jacob should work for Laban seven years for Rachel, and tbat was the first free labor contract that I bave any knowledge of. It took place thirty-six hundred years ago. Wbea tile time came for the consummation of the marriage, some one resurrected an old custom or law, that provided tbat the yonngest d anghter should not marry before the eldest. But nothing daunted, Jacob said for be was no exception to the rule that love laughs at all barriers, Well, I will work seven years more for Rachel." How strange that the seven years that Jacob contracted voluntarily to labor, should be the number of years tbat the men who founded this Republic contracted to labor to secure themselves homes and a govern ment such as suited tbeir views of govern ment. Ton remember, Mr. President, that in 1620 a colony of forty-two men, who were dissatisfied with the established church of England and Europe; who were dissatisfied with the social system tbat surrounded them ; who claimed that the common right were denied them, appointed a committee to ad dress or petition King James of Great Brit ain to give them a charter, such as had been given the Virginia colonists, to come to America. King James said, "No, I will not grant you a charter. Ton are a cap tious set of fellows. You belong to the people who have been disturbing my realm on the question of religion, etc. The best tbat I can do is to say tbat you can go, and that I will not disturb yen. How discour aging tbat answer must have been. But notbii'g daunted they turned tbeir efforts toward certain capitalists. They called on the men of means and stated their desire to go to the woods of America. " What will you give us," said the capitalists, if we thip you to America T" "Give you," they replied ; "we bave no money, but we will work for yon ; we will go to America and work seren yrr and divide the proceeds with you if you will ship ns across to that country ;" and that was the number of years that Jacob and Laban bad agreed upon. The forty-two colonists and the cap italists signed and sealed tbe contract; the ship Mayflower brought the colonists to this country and landed them on Plymouth Rock December 20, 1620, and thus this Re public was founded on the corner-stone of free labor. It is a well-known historical fact that for years after that, many colo nists who came to tbo Northern colonies, oiu their service, or bargained with ship captains o owners to serve or labor for a specified term of ycV in payment for their passage to this country. store are families in Juniata whose first American ancestor paid bis passage money in labor. Such col onists were called redemptioners. It was the free labor men who established the Re public which we all claim to render such allegiance to. At first the colonists were compelled to send to Europe for all tbeir clothing, fur boes, shovels, and all kinds of implements to work with; but people with the honest, resolat purpose that they possessed would oot be long in want for such articles. Tbey soon began to build np manufacturing es tablishments of tbeir own ; tbey made boes, shovels, and all kinds of implements such as they needed. Tbey were rapidly becom ing independent of Great Britain in the manufacture of such articles as they needed. In one hundred and thirty years after the laying of the corner-stone of the Republic, in 1750, the English Parliament passed an act that was directed to break up the manu facturing interests of the colonies. Tbe act forbade tbe manufacture of pig and bar iron, and steel ; it forbade tbe setting np of the loom, aud it went so far as to restrict the manufacture of hats, and did not allow the employment of more than two appren tices in one manufactory ; and that act of Parliament had a great deal to do with tbe bringing on of tbe Revolution. To-day Great Britain is interfering with the manufacturing interests of tbe Repub lic. She has formed a solid alliance with tbe brigadiers of tbe South, which has al ways been for free trade, and kept manu facturing "establishments away from ber doors ; she has formed a solid alliance with tbe Democracy of the North, who are led by tbe brigadiers, and they bave in tbeir late National Convention that nominated General Hancock, done by resolution pre cisely wbat tbe Euglisb want them to do tbey bave declared for free trade ; just as the ... Cosnxx Cica desired them to do The Cobden Club roles tbe Democratic party on the important issue of free trade. Wbat is tbe Cobden Club ? It is an organization of Englishmen whose purpose ir to interfere -with and break doscu the protection laws of other countries, so as to secure the adoption of free trade so that England may become the great manuf actory or workshop for tbe whole world. The bead of the Cobden Club ia composed of two bandred members of the English Par liament and twelve of the fourteen Cabinet Ministers of tbe English government. Last year they sent the secretary of the club, Mr. Potter, to this country to gather statistics as to the manufacturing and farming inter ests of this country. Re d id his work faith fully. On bis return home be employed able writers to write articles, tbat have been printed to try and convince the American farmers that it is to their interest to secure tbe election of a free trade President and a free trade Congress. Only a few days ago a whole car load of Potter's free trade arti cles passed over the railroad west for dis tribution in the west, where they will be used as Hancock campaign documents. The Democratic platform and tbe Cobden Club are one on tbe object of free trade. The South, the Democratic Party and tbe Cobden Club are all one on the question of manufacture. When tbe articles sent over by the Cobden Club are sifted, tbe great argument that they make is that the farmers of America number seven millions, and tbat on an average they buy S200 worth of goods that are manufactured iu England, and that if this country would pass a free trado law, such as the Democratic platform advocates, Instead of costing them $200, it would cost tbem only $160 for the same amount of goods, and that they wonld save 940 per year in each farmer's household. What an argument to present to the American peo plo. Suppose that the Democratic party cornea into power and adopts the free trade" laws that the Cobden Club are helping tbem to argue for, the manufacturing establish ments of this country would bave to do one of two things they would have to close their doors and send tbe millions that get employment from them adrift, to make their living as best they can ; they would be compelled to go to agricultnre for a living, and that addition to the agricultural producers, and that number taken from tbe consumers would glut tbe market with agri cultural products to such a degree that one hundred dollars would be lost where forty dollars would be saved on tbe cheap goods. A large portion of the population of Phila delphia would have to lcae the city, and so with all tbe manufacturing towns, and that would cut In oft tbe' demand for tbe butter and eggs and other articles of farm products on which more than $10 per year on an average is made. Tbe mannisctortng establishments would be corn pe'Ied to close their doors, or they would bave to reduce the wares of their men to the wages paid by European manufacturers. Nuchas con template reducing tbe wages, instead of closing their manufacturing establishments in the event of the election of Hancock and a Democratic Congress, have declared tbat if the Democracy are successful in Novem ber tbey will, in less than a month, reduce the wages of all their men thirty pr-f cent. If the Republic, this government, would dare tu treat England as England has treated this government, through her Cobden Club, we would have a war on our hands in less than six months, or our government wonld have to apologize. If one hundred Con gressmen and nearly all of tbe cabinet offi cers of tbe Hayes administration would dare to do such an impudent thing as to organize into a club, thereby giving it an official ap pearance, and bave documents printed and sent throughout England, to disturb the labor of tbe country, to advocate the abo lition of the House of Lords, to incite the Irish, to advocate tbe dethronement of the Queen and the election of a popular gov ernment, our government would have a war on band immediately or would be Compell ed to apologize. While tbe Cobden Club is helping the Democracy to tho extent of its power, the Democracy are shouting 329 CftfDiT Mobilize. They hope to win men by that cry of mis representation. What is 329 1 It is the sum of money that General Garfield bor rowed from Oakes Ames. Garfield needed i that amount of money to pay for some ma- j terial that he nsed in tbe building of a bouse. The Democracy say that it waa in terest money on Credit Mobilier stock. It is true tbat Congress passed a resolution of censure because of Credit Mobilier, but since that time it has been discovered that the resolution was a mistake and tbat Con gress got scared at the shout of the Dem ocracy that there was something wrong about tbe Credit Mobilier. Atter the war the Democracy grubbed around and picked up every little thing to criticise, and in tbat way they have secured a number of follow ers and held their own people to a certain extent. Tbey shouted Credit Mobilier and got np a suspicion on it. Credit ilobilier is a construction company, and when the Union Pacific Railroad Company, which bad land grant endorsements, and government en dorsement, got frightened with its undertak ing to build a road to the Pacific because it encountered the desert on this side of the RoCtV moulltaius. It stopped operations where the feitije lands ended, and its stock was not worth much more than the stock of tbe Selinsgrove and North E.nch Railroad Company. When the Union PaciDO Rail road Company failed to build the roaa, , Oakes Ames, a most successful business J man, coo.iected himself with the Credit Mo bilier construction company, and said that he could build the incompleted 660 odd miles across tbe desert to connect with the road in from California. No one but those who knew of his business capacity believed him to be able to complete the road. But said be, "I must bave $46,000,000 in stock and bonds of the road. I ask for no money, but if the company will give that amount of stock and bonds I will build tbe road. I will take all the risk, and if I get through, it will be a nice thing for me if I fail, it will be my great .misfortune. If I get through, the stock and the bonds will go to par at once, for the road will pay. The Government transportation alone will be a great item." The company took him at bis word. He got tbe stock and bonds t be sold as many of tbem as be desired ; he talked positively of the coming value of the bonds; he sold $16,000 worth to Congress men only $16,000 worth to his Congres sional friends. He completed the road, and, just as he had predicted, the travel and freight over it sent the stock np with a bound, and then everybody wanted stock. It was as legitimate a transaction as sucb rail road matters are. The Democracy were look ing for something to criticise, and they fell on Credit Mobilier and Oakes Ames. Tbey say that Garfield had some of tbe stock. He says not. The borrowing of $329 is a cir cumstance in tbe case, which is most unre liable to base such a scandal on. Circum stantial evidence is always of doubtful char acter. The books tell of a case of the murder of a man. A man was arrested for the crime. A bloody knife was found in his coat pocket. ' He declared that he had not used tbe knife to kill tbe man. He protested his innocence. The blade of tbe knife fit the wounds on the body of tbe murdered man. He was tried, fonnd guilty, and hanged. Twenty years afterward a hardened criminal, when on his deatb-bed, confessed that it was he who had commit ted tbe murder and put the bloody knife in tbe pocket of a neighbor. In Ibis case there is the circumstance of the borrowing of $S29 from Oakes Ara'eS, which the Dem ocracy bave declared to be part of the fund arising from the ownership of Credit Mo bilier stock. Tbey bave AaoTBEB Poi.vf ; They say Tilden was cheated out of the Presidency. That is not true- ' TBey Say that be bad a majority of the popular vote. Well, tbat is true. Put a President is not elected by the majority vote; be is elected by the electoral vote. . Tilden had a major ity of the popular vote of 250,000, but Hayes bad one of a majority of the electoral vote, and tbat was a constitutional majority and made him President. James Buchan an lacked 877,000 of having the majority of tbe popular vote, but be had the majority ot the electoral vote, and tbat is the constitu tional way of electing a President. The electoral vote of Georgia is 11 ; the bull dosed Democratic majority in that State was eighty thousand. The electoral vote of Pennsylvania is 29, and the Republican ma jority for Governor Uoyt was seventeen thousand and some hundred. When the electoral votes of the two States are con sidered, tbat of Pennsylvania is nearly three times as large as that of Georgia, but when the majority vote of the two States are counted, that of Georgia is four time great er than that of Pennsylvania, and that is bow a President may be elected and not have a majority of tbe popular vote. Pres ident Hates had not a majority ef the pop ular vote, but he had a majority at cbe elec toral vote. The Democracy say that there was fraud in Louisiana. That is true. So there was fraud in Alabama, Georgia, Mis sissippi aud other Southern Stales, where; if the fraud could bave been reached by State laws as in Louisiana, the fraudulent buxes Could bave been cast out and the States could honestly bave been declared for Hayes. In Louisiana the State laws were peculiar ; they gave the returning boards of that State the right to reject all return of votes tbat had been polled under intimidation and under the practice of fraud. In 1876 they did throw out a number of boxes where a large number of illegal votes bad been polled. Wben the Democracy found that the election between Hayes and Tilden was close and learned that the fraud ulent votes bad been cast ont in Lomsiana unffer the operation of State law, ihey for- : got their State right theory and practice, and said we will not stand it, even if the returns from Louisiana to Washington are correctly signed. They proposed an rite-! tornl commiifirn. The Republicans said, any way to satisfy you. Tbe bill to create the electoral commission was passed through Congress. Tbe Democracy had heard Oar field say that the bill would give the com mission the right to go into Oe States and examine tbe returns. He deuied the right of the commission to do that, but because he hwt said the bill provided for going iuto the States to grub" among the returns tbe Democrat thought that be would vote, at the right time, to go back of the Stae returns. Garfield was one of the Electoral Comsissieny a4d when the time came to vofe as to whether tbe commission should go back of the face of itie returns and ex amine the votes in the election districts of the States, of course he voted No, and was cons.sttnt in iuiitg so. There is another ph:ie to the electoral business. Tbe cipher diFatcbes revest that I'roiu the bouse in which Mr. Tilden Hves a dispatch was sent, offering $85,CW for the electoral vote of South Caroliua, $50,000 for the electoral vtte'of Florida, and $4.00 for the electoral vote of Oregon, aud yet tbe Democracy talk about Coaacrrioir. The locks and bolts on doors of house's testify to the genefsl strte of corruption. The county of Juniata will prove that there are as many corrupt people among the Dem ocracy as among Republicans. Corruption seems to be general, and must be constantly watched. But when the corruption and mismanagement of the Democracy of this State is examined, it bas on unlavorabie appearance alongside of Republican rule. The fcrtv years of ruV T tbe Democracy in this State was followed by a debt of $10,000,000 one million ot debt for every year that they were in power whereas the Republicans bave been in power but twenty years, and in tbat lime the debt baa been reduced over $24,000,000, making a reduc tion of the Democratic debt of over one million of dollars for every year of rule, be sides having paid Urge sums for war expen ditures. When one goea out Into the broader field of National politics, the same difference of management presen's itself. The loss in the Pierce administration on every thousand dollars that was expended was $3.56 ; tbe loss in the Buchanan admin istration, on every thousand dollars was $3.81 ; Lincoln's administration lost on every thousand dollars 76 cents ; Johnson's administration 57 cents on every thousand dollars expended, and Grant's admininis tration lost only 24 cents on every thousand dollars expended, aud the loss of the Hayes administration will be less than any previous 0U. a the average, per thousand dollars. Wlicnau.CS the different administra tions has been baa, none appears so corrupt as the last Democratic administration, tbat of Mr. Buchanan. Two of his cabinet offi cers, Thompson and Floyd, defrauded the Government of large sums. Thompson was secretary of the Interior, Floyd was Sec retary of War. The Mormon war was in progress. Floyd waa deep in the business of contracts. He needed funds. He got Thompson to give hiin the bonds of the In dian Trust Fund, out of the Treasury, and he gave Thompson his private paper, which was put into the Treasury in the place of the Indian Trust Bonds. Tbe bonds were sold in the money markets ot the country, and Thompson and Floyd fattened on the spoils. Buchanan's administration fell to pieces under the blows or rebellion. Thomp son joined tbe Confederacy, became a secret service commissioner for tbe rebels, wilh headquarters at Toronto, Canada, and kept up a secret underground way from there to Washington, and from Washington to Richmond. Thompson turnished tbe gold that paid for the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, that paid for the attempt on tbe life of Secretary Seward. It was the gold that be furnished that kept tbe Surrattgang that laid plana to abduct tbe President, but when tbat failed tbey assassinated him, and yet the Democracy have the face to talk ot corruption. To put the Democracy into power would be simply to reinstste tbe old order of affairs, la tbe couutry ready for such a change. ' Tbe safe way is. to give them a change such as they received ia In diana. bamuel M. Beidler, from Cape May, was introduced by the President, and spoke of Republican prospects in New Jersey, and the manner of holding elections in Phila delphia, where it is impossible to perpetrate fraud, as is charged by the Democracy. At the conclusion of his remarks the meeting adjourned with three rousing cbeeis for the speeches, and for Garfield, Arthur and the whole ticket. A NCHBIB of Democrat who are in conspicuous plaoea before tbe country bewail tbe loss of Indiana. They find all manner of excuse for tbe defeat, and among tbe rest is the one that English, tbe Democratic candidate for Vice Pres ident, is a money sbaver. Of course tbey are entitled to tbe right of frauiing excuses to suit tbemsjlves, but to apply tbeir own excuses to tbis Congressional District how can tbey consistently vote for Speer lor Congress wben tbey con demn tbe habits of English in finance, for Spetr ia a note sbaver bf no com mon prominence at borne1. If tbe shaving proclivity of Euglisb should be one of tbe causes to annihilate tbe Democratic party, or cause its people to vote it down, bow should it cause tbe people to vote against Speer for Con gress in tbis district. On Saturday nigbt Democratic roughs atarted a riot in Bethlehem Pa., by an attack on a Republican procession. lo Philadelphia, on Saturday night, while a Republican procession was passing, a drinking plaoe men on tbe side walk cheered for Hancock, a lot of Republi can roughs in tbe procession forthwith left tbe line, rushed into tbe drinking place, pounded everybody tbey found there and npset all tbe drink. In Wil mington Delaware on Saturday nigbt colored roughs attacked a Democratic procession, a riot took place, and a number of men of both races were wounded by pistol shots. Men should not act like crazy people on occasions of tbe march of political processions. Men who become riotous should be put in tbe lock up. Thb North American says: Tbe at tempt tbat is being made to break the fcfse of tbe Republican victory in In diana by attributing it to tbe personal unpopularity of tbe defeated candi date, is a good illustration of what- is metaphorically known as whistling in a graveyard. It wis expressly declared beforehand tbat tbe utrbggle Iras' over national issues', and tbit is wbat tbe voters of Indiana understood. They voted for Porter as for a representative of Republican principles and policy. Tbey rejected Landers because tbey bad no eonfidenco in tbe party with wbicb be was affiliated. 4 A Gn. James McQuade, a well known New York Democrat, who was in In diana last week wotking for Landers, sent two telegrams to New York on Wednesday. Of course tbey got mix ed. Such things always do get mixed One was a strcitly buftuess' telegram to bis lawyer and the" other was intended for an intimate Democratic friend. Tbe lawyer got a telegram reading, "Prepare for a first class funeral," while tbe politician wondered wbat re lation tbe d sjiatch be got had to tbe Democratic prospects in Indiana." General Grant delivered a speech in Boston a few days ago, in which be said tbat tbis country can find an out let in Mexico for its manufactured arti cles that the people there will be glad to enter into sucb basiness relations r?s will bring about an etebange of pro ducts.

Tbe Franklin Repository of the 13th inst. says: About 9 o'clock on Thurs day night two ladies, boarding at tbe U asbington Honse, tbis place,- repaired to their rooms tor tbe purpose of retir ing for tbe night. Sometine after tbey bad lain down thej heard a noiis si:der tbe bed. One of the ladies jumped out and opened tbe door while the other one turned up the ligbt. Tbey saT two feet extending out from nnder tbe bed, and immediately gave tbe alarm. Mr. Reiliy, who bas tbe adjoining rooa, ran into tbe ladies' apartment and pulled tbe man from bis biding place, who proved to be Isaao Stewart who bad been employed as a waiter at the hotel some time before but bad left only a few weeks ago, and wbo of course was perfectly familiar with tbe bouse. Stew art was taken to jail by officer Croft, where bis pockets were examined, in one of which was found a razor. He was to have bad a bearing on Monday, but Mr. Reilly being absent it was postponed nntil bis return. Stewart says be was drunk and did not know what be was doing, bnt as be was canght with bis shoes off and tbey were found afterwards in tbe back yard, we tbiok it is a poor excuse. No doubt be will receive wbat he deserves. Suicide by Chloroform. About 10 o'clock on Monday nigbt a tall, stout man, about 45 years old, at tired in respectable garments, was given lodgings at tbe Windsor lodging bouse, southwest corner ol Front and Lom bard streets. Yesterday morning, abont 9 o,clock, the man wbo made tbe beds fonnd the lodger dead in bed, with a bottle of chloroform tightly pressed in bis right band to bis nostrils. Tbe face of tbe deceased bore the peculiar color of those who die from chloroform poi soning. Tbe bottle bad about two ounces yet in it. Tbe body was re moved to the Morgue. Tbe only clue to the identity of tbe deceased was tbe name be wrote, "John Miller," upon tbe register. It is also thought bis name was William Peterson. He had no effects, except his garments PAi adrfphla Times, Oct. 13. Henry D. Foster, a well known Dem ocratic politician, died at Irving Sta tion, Westmoreland connty, late on Saturday evening.
