NEW YEAR'S GREETIAG.
The present number of the Rutin-
LIU'S is the last of the old year.
Time's cycles has counted nearly
nineteen centuries since the advent
of the Christian Era and Sunday
next begins the New Year of our
Lord, .1882. The REPUBLICAN greetS
its friends and everybody with ''A
Happy New Year!" Our aim will
be to make our paper fully worth the
advanced price, and to make it so
good that the people of Bradford
can't afford to do without it. We
shall deal with substantial truths,
current news both local and general._
in politics our standard will be Re
publican'as usual, based on the fun
damental doctrines of the Republi
• can party. Our first page will be
de;oted literary and miscollanCcus
reading.
We do not anticipate the satisfac
tion of pleasing everybody in• the
conducting of our paper, but we ex
pect to so conduct it as to claim the
respect of even our opponents. We
shall aim to keep in line with the
best sentiment of advanced Republi-
canism. We entertain the con*
tion that the popular judgment of
'the masses of the people detiberately
made up, and fairly expressed, is, as
a rule, correct, He who respects it
is entitled to public confidence; he
who _runs counter of it deserves con-
demnation
Wishing peace, prosperity and
happiness b all for the coming years,
we join, them' iu, making a graceful
bow to the old, and a miffing greet
ing for the New Year.
REFORM. WITHIN THE
. PARTY.
We publish this week, the address
of the Committee appointed =some
weeks since by the .conference of
Independent Republicans whiCh as-
Sembled at the Continental Hotel,
Philadelphia, to the Republicans of
the State. This appeal has for its
9 . bject, reform within the party—re
form in party methods and practices,
having relation coley and entirely- to
securing through the primary coun
cils of the, party a full, free and fair
expression- the popular will,
demanding that the popular -judg
ment shall be honestly and fairly re
flected in our nominating conven
tions. To make it apparent that
there is dissatisfaction with the
prevailing methods by which our
nominating . conventions have been
controlled and the popular judgment I
of the party subverted to , personal
ends, a dissatisfaction so Serious as
to imperil the future. unity and suc
cess_ of the party,'it is only necescary
to direct attention to the fact that
over. forty thousand Republicans.

self-nommated Independent 'candi

November election, rind that the-suc
csssful cludidate was elected by a

unity- loll_ harmony of the party,
that the reforms aimed at by the in
dependent mover`aent, I within the
party organization are such as should
commend the' Movement to the
favorable consideration of every Re
publidan who has at heart 'the per
petuity and success of Republican
ism integrity.
We commend the teaching of the
Philadelphia Presiz, the ablest and
most influential Republican journal
in Pennsylvania, upon this subject.
We hope its. circulation nay be
more widely extended.- among the
Republicans of Bradford County.
Its tone and temper is in .accord
with the prevailing sentiment here.
It aims at the establishment of a
-h igher standard of political ethics, a
t
reform of modes and practices xvithin.
the oronization, not ontsidn of it.
With this ' : view it commends ,the
movemenPinangurated by the . Con
tinental -Hotel Conference, and its
aims and purposes as set forth by the
Committee's address. This is Inde
_ pendence of a different character
from the Wolfe Independent move
' men% - It is ludepenience within
the party. It seeks to save the party
and establish a rule of party action
• that will promote unity and bar
. mony upon principles of justice-, hav
ing due:respect to the popular will
as expreised by the masses of the
party tb ongh t the primaries. We
have given the, address a careful
reading, and we fail . to discover
either in its terms, expressed as
clear as language could make it, or
obscured between the lines, any sen
timent that can be construed to
mean 11, purpose to disrupt the party
or create factional divisions within it.
It abbe to build up, save and perpet
uate, while the Wolf movement seeks
to disrupt and destroy.' Such being
its - purpose we commend it.
We indulge no animosities against
men, what we oppose is methods
wrongfully employed by men is
subversion of popular rights. •We
care not who lead, only it so be that
their action is just and right with
respect to popular party majorities.
This mustbe the rale of political
action, abseved alike by party lead
ers and followers. Obligations are
co-equal, political rights are co-equal,
all are bound by the one great all
absorbing obligation to seer, that we
have good government. Principles
are promoted and maintained by
organization. - Individuals find their
place in that organization that beet
represents their judgment and politi
cal convictions. Their right to a
full, fair and free expression of their
judgment cannot be denied or
abridged,. Let this be the recognized
rule of the Republican party and
its future success and perpetuity is
assured.

RIES. • .
The Committee of the Independent
Republicans of the State have issued
• •
the following address: °
To the I?epnblicarus Rf Peiinsylcania:
We address 'you in the interest of
that political organization, to which we
are alike atta3hed, and whose continu
ed supremacy in both State and Nation
we alike desite
We share with you a just pride in
our party's past achievements, and be
lieve with you that, signal and. • honor-
able as these have been, its mission is
not yet complete. The present . has
political issues of magnitude and
portance, and the near future will tin-
fold others which must chsllenge equal,
if not greater, attention and qta,tesinan .
ship. Through more than . twenty
years of the greatest epoch in. our
annals the onward marph . of the coun-
try has been the history of the Repub
lican.party, and by its unvarying de 7
votion to human, liberty and, equal
rights, by its character - and its inspira
tions, this party is best qualified to .
settle and adjust /these qneStions as
they arise, and to give to 'the country
continued safe repose.; So you believe,
and so do we.
No one can be indifferent to such
considerations as these, and it is, there
fore, with deep concern for the future
usefulness of our party the we assume
to address you at this time. What
we have moreo directly and. immediate
ly in view i is to keep, if possible, our
own State fixed and steadfast, in her .
party allegiance. The importance of
Pennsylvania as a factor in national
•
politics is' manifest. In the present
condition of things. Republican ascen
dancy in the general 'Government caig
onlybe.maintained .by i her continned
support, and the question which pre
sents itself to yoir consideration is—
how can this be secured.?
That a great majority of the voters
of PerMsylvania are thoroughly and
earnestly Republican in their views
and sympathies we do not doubt. The
political record of twenty years attest
their approval and . acceptance of the
do'ctrines and principles of the - !nifty.
But while this is true, it is equally man
ifest tha their party allegiance
.has
been weakened, and that discontent and
dissatisfaction prevail.
--We need no othar evidence of this
than the fact that at tile last general
election over 40,000 Republicans' re
fused their supprt to the party's ean
didate, and. gave it . to another, while
still asserting their devotion to Republi
can principles and their earnest desire
for the party's ascendancy'. Exper
ience shows that men - are knot easily
shaken in their party. allegiance, and
when dissatisfaction finds ."expression
in such emphatic tone it'-may safely bp
assumed that evils exist in the - party
that need to be corrected. This pro;
I test was not against the
_policy-or creed
lof the party, but against repugnant
methods 'of party , management: It
Was an earnest demand, pregnant.with
warning, that the • •Republican paitty
should henceforth be true to itself; that
its conyietions and preferences should
find free.and honest expression, and
that its 'representative .conventions
should reflect and record the. will, of
the party rather than the decrees of a
political junta.
The truth is not to be disguised,.
nor, indeed, can be. Repeated in
stances of our State . Conventions vio
lently disregarding the popular pref
erences in candidates, and assuming
- powers which did not' rightfully belong
to them, at the dictation all few, - are
fresh in your recollection. This' sub-,
serviency, it is true, was followed by 4 ,l
your just indignation; : but only to .
repeated by succeeding - : conventions. 4
The result is before you in the 144
general election. Whether the exist-d
ing grievances and abuses justified
such aetion, :or whether such action was
the best method to correet•-them, it is
no part of our purpose to inquire. It
was Ow protest of the men who' made.
it, and they alone are responSible for it.
t pthers, equally sincere in their con
41emnation, preferred other remedies.
It is not our business to approve or
- censure. All we desire and seek to
accomplish is restored harmony, a
' united party and better
„ methods.
The - se can be secured in no other way
than by the removal of all - just cause
of complaint. The party needs, and,
if it is to succeed in the future, • must.
have. a sure and speedy deliverance
from the tyranny of personal dictation•
the. policy of proscription and :punish
ment for those who dare to oppose the
rule of an oligarchy must be abandon-
ed; the popular will must be consulted
and respected, and the lix,,wer of the
party be used for higher pUrposes than
the bestowal of offices Cr unworthy
favorites and dependents.
That so much can be accomplished'
1y pr . oper effort,_without resorting to
revolutionary methods, we not
doubt. Political control becomes cen
tred in the hands of the few ,only by
the neglect and indifference, of . the
many. The source of political - power is
in the primaries. These give expression
and character to your larger convention.
they tare committed to the manage
meat and control of men whose interest
1
in politics rises 1 . 4 higher than the hope
of office or patronage for themselves,
no reform can beexpected. But they
need 'not be,. and - should not. It is
only because those most interested, in
the cause of good government fail to
participate in these important
,assem
blies that they are so often perverted
and made to work such great evils.
If by any effort the masses of the
Repubiican party can be incited to
active participation in these primary
Contests, the work of reformation will
not only have begun, but will. be com
pleted. The selfish few will be . com
pelled to give way to . the many whose
party fealty is not dependent upon
patronage nor sustained by plunder.
The occasion is at: hand for you to
redeem your party; or increase its
peril. A State Convention will soon
be called, to place in nomination candi
dates for high 'aud important offices.
Shall that Convention be composed of
men who can, and will, despite the
solicitation and influence of centralized
power, reflect your wishes and , be true=
to the best interests of the. party; or
shall it be composed of those whose
sense of political duty is obedience to
personal rule, and peaceful submission
to its extravagant exaction ? It is for
you to say; and as yon determine in
your primary meetings, and County
.Conventions, no it must be.
Our only purpose in this address is
to call your attention to the magnitude
of the evils which exist; the extreme
danger in which they have placedlis as
a party, and to urge you to exert
yourselves in the only way which
promises relief or, safety. We have
no interest in- the 'matter, except that '
which we share in common with all
who desire the success of the party for
the common
_good.. In that cause we
enjoin upon you the importance of
making the next State Convention a
thoroughly representative body of 'the
Republicans of the .Commonwea4h.
The just sense of the party demands
and has a right to demand, that "the
delegales shall come from the people
through their legitimate local repre
sentative conventions, and that 'the
State Convention shall be held at a
time which will permit the fair, full and
deliberate expression,of the party will.
Without making any personal warfare,
we are enlisted in a campaign against
the arbitrary and debasing methods
that have divided and weakened a party
which should be united and harmon
ious. In this undertaking we appeal
to you for yOur earnest and 'act've
co-operation.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
* Dec. 24, 1881.
,
I - The annual report of the Second
Ass[stant Postmaster-General was
made public yesterday. The cost of
mail transportation for the year end
ing June 30, 1881, is summed up as
follows: For 1,194 - railroad routes,
aggregating 91,569 miles, $11,613,368;
for 126 steamboat routes, 'aggregating
21,138 miles, $753,167; for 10,272
other routes known as "Star mutes,"
aggregating 231,299 miles, $6,957,355;
total cost, $19,323,890. . '
Compared with the last annual state-'
ment,the railroad service 'shows an
hiciegie , of seventy-six routes, of
6,249 miles and of $1,114,382 in
'annual cost'. The steamboat service
shows a decrease .of five routes, of
2,182 miles; and of $134,054 in anual
costs. The Star service shows an
increase of 409 routes, a decrease of
3,949 miles and of $364,144 in annual
cost. The cost of the Star :service of
1881 wa519,057,355, a decrease of
4.97 per cent. in the cost epnipared
with the ammouut expended during the
year 1880. - .. 1 i.
The appropriation for the year ending
June 30, 1882, is $7,900,090, $942,645
q
or 13.55 per cent. in .ex cess ,of the
cost of thii service for ISBI. ' It is
thought that the estimate for Star
'service can be safely placed at $7,250,-
000, a decrease of 659,000 from the
appropration of 18'82, and $292,645
more than the rate of . expendature
June 30, 1881. In this estimate pro
vision is made for new. service that
may be petitioned for and established
after due investigation looking to the
requirements of the sections interested,
and t,he postal facilities now furnished.
General Elmer says that had no
orders beer' made reducing the Star
service, there would have been needed
at the rate of • past increase, about
$9,600,000 for 1882.
The Treasury contingent fund
investigation has brought to light the
facts in 'regard to the payment of
$7,200 for a new-fangled boiler, a
scheme in connect;on With the heating
~ r
of public buildings. The Senate inves
tigation shows that the : $7,200 was
paid to a man in Chicago named -Mc-
Mullin, who held that his alleged im
provement, would be a great saving, in
coal to the government. The improve
thent was perfectly worthless. The
Senate Committee,- however, brings
out a further fact, that the money was
paid to, McMullin upon 'the recoinend
ation of - J. B. Hawley, who was then
First Assistant Secretary of IlmTreas
-1
ury and a candidate for the Illinois
gubernatorial nomination. _ It has also
been shown in the Senate investigation
Postmaster General a day or two ago
saying, f'a man's wife dropped, a letter
in this office addressed to another man;
the husband suspects something wrong.
Shall I deliver the letter to him ?"
The postmaster was in'tructed that the
husband - could not get the letter in
that way.
That republ'e3 can be grateful is
shown by the issuance to-day over
Secretary Kirkwood's signature; of
twenty-seVen pieces of bounty-land
scrip to the heirs Of John Paul Jones

appreciative acknowledgment of brave

The manufacturers of the Auburn Wagons are
making every effort to make the•very best wagon
possible; and with such success, that they can,
and do make a better Farm and Lumber Wagon
than any wagon-maker can make who ha* not the

Nothing but nest, class timber , thoroughly
seasoned, is used, and the woodi of the entire
running gears are soaked in boiled linseed oil
and thoroughly dried before being painted.. No
malleable irons aro deed. The Wagon Company
has its own rolling mill'and makes its own re- .
fined iron, and that of the very best quality.
Mr. Clapp, the President of the Wagon Com
pany, and an old wagon-maker of very high rep
' ufatiott t • few days ago said to me: , "If we should
exert out:gees to the utmost to snake a better wagon,
we could "'tido it."
. invite • all farmers and others' needing new
wagons to examine the Auburn Wagon before
