Speakers—B: M. Peck, John N. Calif. The result in Ohio is more a rebuke of . the disrespect with I which the memory of the lamented Garfield, so fondly -therished by the true Republi- cans of Ohio and the nation, has been treated by the adhearants of the ad ministration, than a falling away from the principle 3 of the Republican party. The same feeling pervades the Repub lican party in Bradford County _ and the State. We observe that our contemporary, the Journal, a pretended Independent paper, joins in the crusade with Webb & Co. to smirch the political standing Jadwin and supports . Overton. This course is a-kind of independence, • that the voters of the county= do not -f comprehend. How long cioep the Journal Propose to be a. tag to -the kite of . the bosses and help them to ' force their jobs on Ithe people? The !Republicans of Susquehanna, may as well understand that Mr. Over ton will not be able to deliver, so fai. as Mr. Searle is concerted, the goods he has promised him from Bradford two years hence. The Republicans cf Bradford will not again be betrayed ' into placing the destinies of the county in Col. Overton's bandit. While they are ill favor of ( — dealing justly with Susquehanna, they.will not ratify Mr. Overton's bargains with Searle. 1 _ • When Mr. Overton's friends charge that Mr. Jadwin is a Cameron man, just point them to.his record as a, dele gate from this district, with 0. D. Kin- • ney, Esq. at Chicago to the Republi; can National Convention.. He was there an active supporter of Blaine and voted steadily until the Blaine forces broke for Garfield, when he voted for Garfield. Don. Cameron was a mem ber of the Pennsylvania delegation at Chicago, and exerted every possible power, first by dictatorial threats, and then- by profuse promises, to induce Mr. Jadwitt to vote with the 306 for Grant. He refused to wear the collar, and bears no 306 medal on his person. There was no perfidy in his case, but he stood firni as a rock true to the sentiment ! of his district. • We ha read several published in terviews purporting to give Col. Over ton's statement respecting his candi dacy and nomination for Congress, none of them bearing his signature. They are the merest pettifoging sub terfuge. He employs the quibbles of a lawyer and does not meet the points — at. issue. If be will affirm the alle gations contained in these published interviews by his own signature, we pledge ourselves to confront them with the contradictory . , testimony of twenty as reliable gentlemen as there is in Bradford County. - Mr. Jadwin makes no statement which he is unwilling to affirm by his own signature and take all the responsibility. The cry tin 1880 with Cameron, Conklin aid their cohorts was "let the party die u ) ith Grant I Last year :he bosses put up Bailey, a three-hundred - and4ixer for State Treasurer, and said, "take him or nothing I" "Let the party die with Bailey !" And the result showed a majority of = 45,000 ' the ,~~; ~ a ~_.. ~,,-t .. ~-' popular vote ` sigihu!t ihifs 11ti,14:4 1 i ',red by, a plurality:"...of Attie :lever 4,000. . The cry of eitadWirtism-14 the plty Camelen r 'lttosithe to be m its death throes in the_ Stabs; and in conseorience of just this kind of . ruletzhip. In this district after pat ting up a job in the nomination of Overton, the cry of Morrow, Webb Ai; Co. is "let the party die with Overt as I" Last year it was "let 4 the pat)? '.die with. Webb I" How near it Coale to dying with hint let the returns of the vote answer. Republicanism will sur vive-the political death of the bosses. Mr. Jadwm who is a faithful repreigen, tatiye of the peonle ' will be !elected, and boss rule will rebuked by "an indignant people. The People the Slime of Polio: Goverser. JOHN STEWART.

The action of our senator and repre sentatives from this county in the ; legislature, in the contest. for: United States Senator in iBBl, in acting bide - - pendent of a caucus nomination. set up by. Cameron, was unanimously, indorsed by the Republican convention of this county which met in September follow ing. The three members , of the House ; and our Senator, the "kicker. from Kickerville," from this district, all joined in the appeal from. the legisla tive caucus set up - by Cameron for Olive; to the joint legislative conven tion where the battle was foUghg l out by the representatives of the peopled Their action was indotied .by our county convention unanimously as follows: "Resolved, that we approve the course of our Senator and Representatiies in the last legislature; their independent action relative to the choice , of United States Senator was demanded by an 'outspoken, pronounced sentiment or Oieir constituents, and in acting with r*.ic: t to that senti ment, they - but performed a recognised public duty."

The thing that seems to be most troubling the minds of COL Overton, Jim Webb and a few other political jobbers just now, is ! the question of w,ho shall control the Federal patron. tare of Bradford county. ' They go about attempting to excite prejudice in the-minds of the people by asking them if they want Elsbree, Williams, Hol comb, and other friends of Mr. Jad win to control .the patronage r ef this county. As though the qu4tion Qf "spoils" is' all there is in ,j the, con_ sional contest. The conferees rep're sentieg Overton put the question 'to Mr. Jadwin; as to "who in Bradford would control the patronage ; in case of his nomination ?" Mr. Jadwin fun wered squarely: " - You gentlemen,reon ferees from Bradford, may name a committee of Republicans of ' your coduty with whom 1 may confer, Ica. .a reliable and honorable man with whom I may advise." Here is an example of the fairness of the Marl. In' s 4), far 'as the men named as likely to, control Mr. Jadwin are concerned, not one of them have ever mentioned such A sub ject to him, or attempted to influence him in relation to it and have no such intention._ There are higher and bet ter purposes, which more oonceni the 'people at large involved in this eon tees. Col. Overton may attempt to I belittle it to the standard that rules the boss system hi *Aides, but the people will not fail .to see his motive and estimate the fallacy of his attempt to excite prejudice against individuals in order to justify the wrong he has committed. ' _We understand full well who at- templed - to control the Federal patron age of the .county since Mr. Jadwin', ' election to Congress. Mr. Webb was in the conference two years ago, end asked a pledge-c i f! Mr. Jadwin that Col. Overton, as the . formerßepresen tative in Congress should be allowed to control the Federal! patronage for Bradford County. Being a' compare tive stranger to the people of Bradford, he must rely apon some one for cor rect information, and assented to. the arrangement.. Trodble thas arisen in respect to several !removals and_ 'ap pointments - of postmasters in this county on the advice of Col. Overton. The removal of Mr. Morse, at Athens, was recommended by him. A vacancy . !slurred at Leßaysville 'through the interference and upon charges preferred by the friends of Mr. Van Gilder, an applicant, and the appointment of Mr, Gorham was recommended by. Col Overton to all the vacaney.4 Much dissatisfaction ensued , not so ouch on account of objection to Mr. Gorham.

Keifer, of Ohio, for Speaker o the he forwouds us the fing k4ter written by him in response to'one trom CoL Over ton on that subject.: - It will be Observed that the letter is dated six weeks Ow- to the assembling . of Congress in December • last: "Office of C. C. JADWIN, Ihaszartaix, Wayne Co., Pa., Oct. 20, 1881 FatmniOriarron:—l return to you the letters of J. Warren Keifer and: Hon.

The inference from the above is plain that Col. Overton favored the election of Mr. 'Keifer to the Speakership and had written Mr. Jadwin on the subject. When Congress convened it became ap parent that Mr. 'Hiseock was weighted with the' numerous important_porations then held under the administration by New York,. She had the President, the Secretary of the and the Postmaster-General. It Terry in come:pence of this *that 'she was not entitled to the , Speakership. Mr.' Hiscock failed to secure a united delegation froni - Pennsylvania, there being but seven out of seventeen, including Mr. Jadwin in this seven, for dm. In view Of the impro bability of securing any recognition for Pennsylvania in the organization of the House with • the delegation divided on Speaker, Mr. Jadwin, who was an ardent supporter of Hon: Edw'd McPherson, of Pennsylvania, for Clerk, went to Mr. His coclrprior to the caucus, anitinformed him of the situation, and withdrew loaf implied obligation to support him. He went with delegation for Mr. Keifer, of Ohio, en ardent supporter.of Garfield, for Speaker, and who ihad President Garfield lived, would hive remainede one of the warmest supporters of bisadministration. He joined with a ma jority of the delegation , in securing the nomination andelection of Hon.. Edw'd McPherson, to t he Clerkship of the House, thOuth he was bitterly opposed by Senator Canieron by all the influences he was able to bring to bear against him, and two members of the delegation, special' friends of Senator Cable on, walked out of the MUCUS and refised to participate in Mr. McPherson's nomination. It will be seen from the above facts; what consistency or honesty there is pi the charge made by Col. Overton and his friends that Mr. Jadwin compromised hila independence of Camer on's rule-by voting for Speaker Keifer. A liemoeratie Paper on Hon. C. C. Jadw We copy the' followbig _relating to the Congressional estion in this district from the Herald of r 14th: The Herald is the organ of the Democratic party,pub lished .at Honesdale . The article is of course written from a Democratic stand point, but its points are well put, and go to show the mama in which Mr. /Minn. is held in Democratic circles fpr the faithful Performance of his duty as a member: • We' notice: that some of, our Republican contemportiries are urging the claim for Continued radical ascendancy in this con gressional district on the ground that i the Hon. C. C. Jadwin has 'made a record at Washington which cannot be successfully assailed p-ithin or without his own party. This claim is based on the following points in his official career: First, that he voted for 1. A commission to investigate the ale°- . l ie liquor trade. 2. A select committee on woman suffrage. 3. The agrienbaired appropriation bill. 4. The antipolygamy.lhM. 5. ,The Geneva award 6. The rejection of George Q. Cannon as delegate from Utah. 7. =protect innocent Users of pat 8. The extension of bank charters. 9. The return of the JaPanese Indemiity d. 7rf 10. To reduce internal revenue Mastic*: 11. For the tariff commission. Secondly, that he voted aQaiaat 1. Chineseimmerration. 2. - 11fe river and harbor blll in all of its stag - 34 The Senate amendment giving Sena tors!' extra mileage at extra sessions. We are reedy to admit th a t in the main, than , votes are all creditable to Mr. Jadwin andisatisfacbiry to his Wayne county ion stittients. But can the same be said as to the entire district--4 rather the leaders of the political organization whiCh he immedi ately represents I If so, why do we find the republicans of Bradford county renomi nating Mr. Overton, *hose renrd on mat ters of public and private intend, when he was in the, House of Representatives, was almost diametrically opposed to that of Mr. Jadwinl And why do we find the radicals of Susquehanna county still ;farther com plicating the matter of the succession by putting forward Mr.. D. W. .Searle, who has as yet no record, ood or bad I • This nutter t of Mr.-Jadwin's reconi is a sword which cats both ways. If it is to bo paraded as showing that the public can i safely trust n Congress a than who 'man their interests his own, and who is idirayis to be found voting against say infringe ment of their rights or squandering of their money, Whydo we not find' a universal sentiment in; fiver of his being •returnedr especial' especially aeL What Come to be regardedes , part of the unwritten law of district 'polities, that' a meniber of either the Natal:mil 'or State Legislature is entitled to a renomina tion if he has discharged the duties of h trustwith fidelity I As between Mr.. Jad: win and a Democratic nominee, if that choice may yet be offered us; it is neadhis to 'say that we shall do what we can to' compass the defeat of the former • but as between Mr. Jadwin and any Re p ublican of the stripe of the small' pohticianewho find him unsuited to their uses oriin the way of their petty ambition in the dontest for a nomination, we'are free to . " ny that our sympathies are entirely with our towns man, And in saying this we know we .are, giving voice to the general - sentiment in this county, Democratic as well as Republi can.

Overton was then announced as a candidate for Congress. The next morning he came into my office and informed me of the fact, pro testing-his sorrow, and stating that he,did not sleep any the night after the announce. ment, and that if I had been home the next day I would have devised some plan by 'which he might have withdrawn from the field, without 'sustaining injury by reason of his having become , al candidate. He , complained of parties tor whom he bad done favors being against. him, when they ought to be for him, and claimed that Mr. Jadwin and his friends' had been saying that they could beat: hie; and that he did not see how he could get out o f the field without admitting his weakness , and asked me what he had better do. I told him that on account of my absence from town for several days, I knew nothing 'of the situa tion of affairs, and could not advise I.2iLti.' On Friday morning I sent for him to come to my office, with a view of bringing about an adjustment between him and Mr. Jadwin. I told him I had sent for him for that purpose, that I was -satisfied matters were getting into bad shape and there ought to be a compromise. He said he did not wish the nomination; that be wanted Mr. Jadwin nominated, but if Mr. Jadwin stayed here and made a fight i he would have to beat bins if he could.

Mr. Jadwin is the real choice of the people, and I believe they will support him. I take no stock in Senator Mitchell's little scheme but if I cannot vote for Mr. Jadwini will not vote at all. It Mr. Overton owns the county convention he does not own the voters. I last winter called on Mi. Jadwin for his personal aid in the interest of forty claimants for pensions, and he gave prompt . 'and cheerful attention to each case. Com rades, it is a duty we owe to him and to ourselves also to vote for C. C. Jadwin. He is one of us. His friends and justice demand our support. Also let us show that although we may be imposed upon in making the nomination, yet we, comrades, will show that it is one thing to put up a; job and quite another to get us to indorse their dirty work.

Overton's parae will be coresborated by fifty or more of., the. most, reliable men. in Bradford isimnly, showing that hie nomination wa procuied by con ! cadment of his real snotive. The republicans of Bradford county feel, as they ought to . led, that 'they are dis at honored by the. 'pa oticol. Overton in taking a mini tion by, stealth that didnet t honesily , belong to Bradford county, and which he could not have procured in an op en and fair cceteit. Read Hr. Jsulwin's statement as fol lows • . . , 1 i•Dirtio affIJMI. Shortlyl beforb Congress adjournal, I received a letter from Ccl. Overton, !rig gating that "my , fences in Bridged might need s little attentionr that ...NT.' Searle wee thine, and ;had some hopes the* he could carry the county; and advised me to corns there u soon as I could get away from Washington. ;, As soon thereafter as my duties would permit, I went to Towanda; expecting that . Col. Overton's attitude toward me would be stated in substantially these terms: "You and your county have given Bradford the Congressional nomination for three suc cessive terms, and for two of these 'terms it was given to me. On this , last occasion your county gave me a second term by directly naming me as its choice, and the conferees from your county, firmly resisted a concerted attempt on the part Susque hanna and Wyoming to defeat in nomina tion, followed by an o rganised against me. I now feel it my duty to return the compliment by carrying Bradford county for von." - , , Oit meeting Col. Overton, I announced that I should not in any event be a candi • date against him in , his own county. • He said that he had not decided to be a can didate, and shoidd have no possible object in becoming one except to preserve his prestige at home. If he ran, it would be' for this purpose only, and not with a view to prevent my nomination. He had be said, one or two objects in running. For instance, any other aspirant who might secure the nomination by the Bradford convention would be in a position tO con trol the patronage of the county; therefore said he,l must prevent this by , contro li ni it inieef. Then'again, said he, I must keep myself in line , and keep others out of line, for the nomination, when it again comes to Bradford, some eight or ten years hence, for I may then feel hie re-entering palitaal life. This conversation took place Saturday morning August:l9. It was then agreed between us that we should meet •-• the following Tuesday evening, and that he should then decide whether he would be a candidate. Smalling, however, precipi tated his derision; for on Monday afternoon he announced himself publicly as a condi dite. On Tuesday afte_.• we met, and MI he informed me of • He did this In peculiarly apo • •c terms. He said' that he never felt meaner in his life than at that moment, in conse que nce of his conduct, that he was about ddfig the most ungrateful and dishonorable act, of his life,• that his conclusion had windy . de prived him of his sleep the previous mght, but that he could not enter into any ex ploitation, further than to say that he was involued in complications as tope nt ing to other parties, and must run. -. • ' ; Having heard his statement, 1 responded, that there was nothing - for me, za_ this situation; and after acme further observe- - tient in the same 1 vehx, I mid that having come into the count - 3 , could embrace the mortunity of visiting some of my friends in different localities. During the next three days I found a strong sentiment pre vailing in favor of my re- nomination. On the following Friday, and again on Satur day he assured me that he had no desire to go to Congress then, that he was only a candidate for the purpose of maintaining his prestige, and that all his centimes should be for me as their second choice, and he desired me to arrest the growing boom in my favor as the candplate of the oounty,- by assuring my friends that we had reached an understand ing satisfactory to myself, and that he would guard my interests in all therefo respects. I re parted from Col.Overton with this asarance, and with the conviction that my canvass required no ferther attention in Bradford county. On my return home, many of my , friends ; were skeptical as to CoL Overton s purpose of being a candidate in my behalf. I need not here repeat the current comment on the subject. I dicier,. ed my full confidence in col. Overton's good faith=-also authorizing the publication of my views on this point in the Honesdale Citizen—and did all in my power tci re-assure the Republicans of Wayne County in this matter. Between the date of my return and the meeting of the conference, however, I learned that Col. Overton was inventing excuses, and' grasping at' everyretext, however trivial, for taking an att itude of hoitility to me; and that he assumed to hold me responsible for every view that found expression in any form, adverse to his can didacy. - Nevertheless I went to Tankhannock ex pecting to be nominated at the first session of the conference. But it soon became apparent that my confidence in Col.Overton was misplaced. Ilia conferees were mani-' featly gentlemen of - high character, intelli gence and independence, having at heart the best, interests of the, Republicans of Bradford. The terms of their appointment bound them to support Col. Overton while he remained a candidate; but they all assur ed me of their support as soon as he gave the word releasing them from their obliga tion to him. None of them had been given to understand by Col. Overton that he - Was not an earnest contestant for the nomina-' tion,_ and there was nothing to , : indicate , that .the "prestige" theory had ever been presented to them as the foundation of his candidacy. On Fraley Col. Overt:on assured me that he would that morning give the word for his conferees to vote for me. But it was not given. At a - later hour he inquired when the afternoon trains left, and propos ed that my nomination should be made so that we could leave immediately afterward. Before the . afternoon session, however, it became manifest that the S uehanius conferees had in some nnezplaiaea manner been -won over to. Bradford. I was the mere surprised at this 'sh ad received numerous letters from prominent Republi cans in Susquehanna assuring me that under no circumstances could Mr. Searle carry his conferees over to Bradford. Col. Overton's conferee., slaked me what I' re garded as their dutyin view of this purpose en the part - of Suscpuclsanna. Ito them that if Col. Overton had selected them with the understanding that they were to stand by him until he withdrew, it would be in famous for them to deiert him. • At the afternoon session Col. Overton wad accent ingly nominated by this, votes of Bradford and Susuuehanna . If Col., Overton's friends Bare anxima for the "safety of the district, they know very well how they Can save it. By voting for Hon. C. C. Jadwin,who is the ' ad - choice of the'dtrickihey may all their fears and at - the same time do their dutyas reputilkans. Neither.

State Senator by the Republicans of Wayne, was called to preside over the Independent mass meeting which assembled at Honesdale on Thursday October 12. The! meet ing was addressed by . Hon. Charles S. Wolfe of Union, and E. K.. Martin Esq. of Lancaster, • , On taking the , chair Mr Larabee (spoke as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen:—.l sincerely thank you for this marked compliment. To be called to preside - -over this in telligent audience, gathered in so noble a cause, and to have the Privilege of 1 presenting to you the distinguished gentleman who will address you this evening I consider a high honor. - I have no apology to offer for the posi- : tion I occupy under' existing circum stances, for I ,hold that it is the right and duty of :every citizen, whatever may be his occupation' or position, to ke part in political affairs. Permit !in • 'Oat few words. The' Amer ican . people area. mii,„ffnani mous and forgiving people; but there are wrongs , which they will not and ought hot forgive or forget - . We have been taught that the great glory of this nation consists in its being a govern ment of,,for, and by the people, that in the people alone is sovereignty vested, that we obey the mandates of no king, prince, or ruler, but that the "will of the people is the highest:law." But we remember well, forbut little more ;than two years have intervened that 'three min in pcsitions of influence and power forked a conspiracy to change all this —to take from the people the right of choosing their chief magistrate, and in stead of a government of the people, to make this an aristocracy, controlled by, a small 'junta of ambitious and unscru pulous politicians. We remember how the Pennsylvania 'convention was called in mid=winter,.taken by the throat and compelled to declare in favor. of Grant and the "unit rule, ', instead , of obeying the well known a nd recognized will of the Republicansof - the Keystone.. State and giving the vote' 'of Pennsylvania tot Pennsylvania's favorite son, one of the greatest statesmen thaterica has ever produced, James G. Blaine [cheers]. We did not, however, at that time realize L. the- magnitude, the far reaching consequences an i power of this conspiracy. •We began to un derstand it better when happily their well laid plot wa.sfrustrated, and yet we did not fully 'comprehend it. Not until we saw the few months of Presi dent Garfield's official life. - embittered by an unceasing and causeless warfare, not until we had followed' him to the grave, not until we had seen his suc cessor, in defiance of the desires of the American people and his solemn pledge before the nation, undo the work so nobly begun, not until we had seen his trusted advisors hurled from posi tions of trust and influence, his friends punished. and his enemies reivarded, and not until then, as if to heap abuse upon abase, did we see the systematic and repeated attempts to vilify Gar fleld7s sacred memory and begin to fully comprehend this conspiracy or the terrible wrong attempted upon the people of thiination. • Now, ladies and gentlemen, two of these conspirators are on trial —Con kling in New York and Cameron_ in Pennsylvania. Elect Cameron's ticket and the people of this commonivealth place the seal of their approval upon slUthese methadii, upon all that this conspiracy implies; defeat it, as it is sure, to be defeated, and neyer, 'again, however exalted in power he may be, however intrenched by patronage and influenceorill any , man dare to defy the will of the people of this common wealth- [applause I. . Gentlemen, let us refer once more to Chicago. Fortunately ftor the good name of the Keystone State there I was a minority of the delegation who re fused to obey 4111. dictates of, Cameron, while a majority obeyedJ their chief. Of the latter one from @entre county chose to defy the expressed' wishes' of his constituents and obey the coma Imends of his ruler and is now .- before us for our suffrages for the high office of Governoriof - our State.- But. while Cameron 'says - "yes," the people of Pennsylvania say "no." On the other hand, our honored delegate him Wayne chose rather to defy th , ' "bois" and obey the will of the peop le, and while Cameron . may - say "no,' the in dietitians are the people of the Fifteenth Cougressitnal district will lay '"yes," (cheers) and will declare that Horn , C.
