I*je4ni BUTLER, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19.1881 CHESTNUTS. Brown children of the autumn wood, You tell me of the olden time, When o'er the hillside paths I roamed, In bright October's golden prime. When 'neath the maples all aflame, I dreamed the pleasant hours away; While round me like a picture fair The woodlands in their beauty lay. And the white, mist-like fairy veil, Came slowly creeping up the hill, From where the river hastened on To the broad pond beside the mill. There 'mid the grass and fragrant ferns, Just parted from their hurry home, . Amid tne leaves all saffron dyed, The chestnuts lay around me strewn. Ah then what joyous task was mine, Mr basket with brown nuts to fill; While 'mid the boughs the light-winged jay Gives me a welcome loud and shrill. How well I love each woodland voice, The squirrel's chirp, the brook's low song, The music of the air-harps wild. Borne by the wondering winds along. That mossy seat beneath the trees, The wood with spicy perfume sweet, The carpet golden, green and brown, By Nature spread beneath my feet. I ne'er shall see such woods again, Those autumn days can come no more ; For life has drifted me away From youth's enchanted, flowery shore. How strong the tie that binds the heart To all it loved when life was new ; The hillside path, the orchard slope, The pastures where the berries grew. And here in commerce-crowded mart, Amid this restless, busy life, Where all the world seems met to see Who shall lie foremost in the strife, 'Mid all the sounds that fill the street, Thete small brown nuts in boxes piled, Bring back to me my vanished youtn, And I am once again a child. —Forest and Stream. SPEECH OF HON. C. S. WOLFE. Reasons Given for his Candidacy. At the request of many Republicans of this county, we publish the follow ing extracts from the speech of the Hon. Charles S. Wolfe, delivered in Philadelphia on Oct 4th inst. It is impossible, owing to its length, to give the whole of his speech. But in the following extracts will be found the principal reasons he assigns for being an Independent Republican can didate for the oflice of State Treasurer, to be elected November Bth inst: REFORM WITHIN THE MACHINE IMPOSSI BLE. But suppose we admit that suprema cy inside the organization is possible, can we even then secure the objects for which wo battle—the liberation, purification and elevation of the party and the fulfillment of its destiny ? Will those against whom we war observe the law of party fealty they lay down to us ? My observation and experience do not persuade me that they will. "Stick to the ticket," made by them, is a crv by which they more effectively pursue their work of plunder and self aggrandizement. Take from them their occupation and opportunities by the ascendency within the party of a high er, purer and more patriotic spirit, and they have no further use for the party nor its candidates. Then, its glorious history has no other charms to them that the pecuniary or selfish benefit it has brought them. When the Repub lican banner can no longer be to them the standard under which to make fresh conquests of spoils they will cease to follow it In 1845 Simon Cameron, for the purpose of securing his election to the United States Senate, bolted from the Democrat party. J. Donald Cameron, as I am credibly informed, aided iu the election of Democratic and Independent candidates for the Legis lature in Huntingdon county in order to defeat the re-election of Senator John Scott and thereby to secure to the family the monopoly of Pennsyl vania national patronage. Four years ago "the bosses" defeated Mujor Ilart, a good soldier, too, and elected Col. Noyes State Treasurer to accomplish their own ends and to rebuke Presi dent Hayes for his impertinence to the present Senator Cameron. In the Gubernatorial election in 1878, after be who speaks to you hud been nomi nated by a Republican popular vote of three to one, carrying every district but one in Union county, against one of its most estimable citizens—not as a personal victory, but as a repudiation of Cameronism—J. Donald Cameron, as he himself admitted to me, threw all his influence and instructed all bis followers to put forth, as they did, openly aud actively, every effort to compass my defeat and to elect my Democratic competitor. Not now, for time will not allow, but hereafter, I will make known many other such in fidelities to party of "Boss" Cameron and tbe other "bosses"—Democrat as well as Republican. Thus do we demonstrate that reform within "the machine" is simply im possible. But we are told that Gener al Baily's nomination does not warrant tbe extrrordinary course I have taken. They say he is a man of spotless char acter ; be was a good soldier; bis nom ination was harmonious and secured by a large majority, and, therefore, there is every reason why it should lie heartily accepted by tho party, Of his personal character and soldier rec ord I haye nothing to say, for I know nothing, and if I diii, tbe purpose of my candidacy in opposition to him could not be materially aided by my speaking of them. But I would in vite your attention somewliat more closely than you may have scanned them to the origin, the circumstances, the instrumentalities, the spirit, and the purposes of General Buily's nomi nation, and the spirit, purposes and significance of the Convention nomi nating him. CONCERNING GENERAL IIAILY. Who is Silas M, Baily '{ What no table service had be rendered to attract to him the attention aud support of delegates to tbe number of 160 or more? What superior claims did he present to recommend him over Sena tor Davies and to draw to him dele gates already committed to the latter? They tell us that he was a good soldier and a suitable man for the position. These are tbe reasons for bis selection. Was not Senator Davies a suitable man ? Are there not hundreds of as good men and soldiers, too, who would never have been thought of, and who would never lie accepted by those nom inating General Baily ? Who, then, I singled out Mr. Baily and introduced him to the public? How came he to be a candidate for the Republican nom ination for State Treasurer. In the issue of the Republican Stand ard of August 4, printed at Union town, Fayette county, I read the an nouncement of Colonel Andrew Stew art of that county as a candidate tor the Republican nomination for State Treasurer. The announcement is in these words: FOR STATE TREASURER. The Standard this week presents the name of Colonel Andrew Stewart, of Fayette county, as a candidate for the Republican nomination for State Treasurer. It is generally conceded that the nomination this time should fall to the western part of the State, and the only candidates thus far spoken of are Senator Lawrence of Washing ton county and Representative Mapes of Venango. The former declines to enter the canvass, as will be seen by his card in another column, and the latter also, we learn, will not be a can didate. We therefore urge the claims of Fayette county, and believe that they are at this time entitled to special consideration at the bands of Republi cans in western Pennsylvania. It will be remembered that Colonel Stewart was a candidate for State Treasurer before the Lancaster Con vention of 1875, when Henry Rawle of Erie was nominated. He was sup ported by the delegations from Fayette, Green, Somerset, Allegheny and oth er western counties, receiving a band some vote in the Convention. Since that the nomination has twice gone to the eastern part of the State. We think it should now return to the west, and Fayette county's position in the contest six years ago should give it precedence at this time. Colonel Stewart is well known throughout the State aud he possesses in a high de* gree those qualities that go to make up an available candidate in a dangerous off year, when personal strength must compensate for the lack of political ex citement. It 1874 he was made the Republican candidate for Congress in this hopelessly Democratic Twenty first District, and in that disasterous year when Democratic Congressmen were everywhere elected he reduced the adverse majority against him by 1,200 votes. His father represented this district in Congress for years, and by his vigorous defense of the princi ples of protection earned for himself the name of "Tariff Andy." Under date of August 5 I received a letter from Fayette county, in which the writer, a most estimable and relia ble gentleman, says : "I do not know how Senator Cameron will regard the Colonel's (Stewart's) claims, as the latter displeased him in 1876 by pre sistently voting for Mr. Blaine at Cin cinnati against the Senator's protest." I received another letter from the same 'person under date of August 9, in which tho writer sayn: "On Friday morning the Harrisburg Indepen dent contains a favorable editorial notice of the candidacy of Colonel Stew art for State Treasurer. Senator Came ron telegraphed to General Baily of Uniontown at once, notifying him to come to Harrisburg. Baily has just returned, announcing that at the in stance of Senator Cameron and bis friends be is a candidate for State Treasurer. Do you see the point ? Cameron recognizes the claims of Fayette county, and, in order to defeat Stewart, he has pitched on a man in this county. Baily was one of tho 306 at Chicago." Yes, I see the point. I see several points. Aside from this reliable information I see: First—That Mr. Baily was not a candidate until Colonel Stewart had been announced. Second—That after Colonel Stew art's announcement Mr. Baily became a candidate for State Treasurer. Third—That General Baily went to Harrisburg either at the request of Cameron aud his friends, or at least, for tho purpose of arranging for their support. Fourth—That be was not a candi date simply that Fayette county might be honored in tbe oflice. It must be evident to every one that he was a candidate simply to defeat Colonel Stewart for his disobedience to Cameron's orders at Cincinnati arid that'bis nomination was effected by Cameron and his friends as a reward for his obedience to the unit-rule and Grant instructions and disretrurd of tho jwople's will at Chicago. Such fideli ty to "the flosses" as he then exhiliited was a full guarantee that he could lie relied upon for faithful service to them in the oflice of State Treasurer. The bosses—Cameron, Quay, Chris. Ma gee, McManes, Leeds and Rowan— nominated Mr. Baily. It was not bis character, nor soldier record, nor fit ness, nor popularity that secured his nomination. It was the favor of "tho bosses," his availability as a candi date, as they supposed, and his proven pliability if elected Treasurer, that ac complished tbe result. General Buily's alleged good character and soldier rec ord would avail him more were they combined with the people's faVor and confidence, arising from unwavering obedience to their will and divorced from tho favor of the "bossep," with their sins and evil practices. Let us briefly trace the history of tho Treasury contest and of the Con vention. With the election of Senator Mitchell there was an understanding that past differences in the party would cease and an honorable und conciliato ry course of conduct, such as would bring real und lasting harmony, should be pursued. Early in the year it was understood that 'the Regulars' were willing to concede the Treasury nomi nation to an Independent or Adminis tration Republican. I say Adminis tration, for all through tbe Senatorial struggle we had tho assurance of Pres ident Garfield's sympathy and official protection. Senators Lawrence und Davies and Representative Mapes were spoken of as candidates. No 'Reg ular' was named. Mr. Mapes declined. Later, Senator Lawrence withdrew. Senator Davies was in the solo posses sion of the field. lie was neither an anti-Stalwart nor an anti-Cameron man. His affiliations and co-opcration with the Senatorial bolters came chiefly from the devotion of his Bradford coun ty constituents to Mr. Grow. It was supposed, therefore, that his nomina tion was conceded and would be ac ceptable to the Regulars' and not distasteful to his more ultra Independ ent colleagues. Senator Davies did not seek but rather avoided, as likely to be prejudicial, the support of myself and other pronouueed Independents. About a mouth before the convention (August 4) Colonel Stewart appears upon the scene. A week later comes General Baily, backed by the bosses. Suddenly the white flag of peace and harmony is hauled down, aud, when Senator Davies is fairly in the trap, up rnns the black flag and the Stalwart battle-cry, 'No quarter to bolters,' sounds forth. Even so conservative an Independent as Senator Davies can not be spared. Should the brittle threads of Garfield's precious life be snapped, there must not be the sem blance even of divided sway. Up to the day preceding the Convention, by no word—written or spoken—nor act, had I, though fastly charged with do ing otherwise, meddled with Senator Davies' candidacy. It hud been my purpose not to go to the Convention ; but, when I saw that war upon Sena tor Davies as an Independent had really been determined on, I feared my absence might be misconstrued. I went, but took no part until Sena tor Davies sent for me and requested it. He informed me how Senator John Stewart had called upon Senator Canieron and received from him the as surance that he would not oppose his candidacy—how other leaders bad de ceived him and had drawn away votes of delegates committed to him. He then and there declared his determina tion to make battle and asked me to join. I consented and went vigorous ly to work, Soon it became apparent that the case was hopeless. The 'bosses' not only were omnipotent, but determined to display their power in the most arbitrary and offensive man ner. They knew their power and meant that those who had opposed them should feel it in the most humiliating way. The Convention slate—Baily for Treasurer, Quay for temporary Chairman, Harry W Oli ver's br ther to present him, White for permanent Chairman, Palmer to present the candidate, and Tom Cooper to be Chairman of the State Committee —was suggestive of Stalwart audacity, Senatorial indignity, Riot-bill rascality, Pardon Board infamy, and Legislative jobbery. The Gas Trust, Recorder's Office, and Delinquent Tax Office were on top. With fiendish joy the censur ed 'bosses' seemed to glory in their shane and to defy the people. Uu willing that wo should be compelled to witness 'the bosses' arrogance and our own deep humiliation, I suggested to our friends the propriety of our making a silent and dignified protest by not entering the Convention but retiring quietly to our homes. This sugges tion was overruled on the ground— not that there was not aljundaut provoca tion—but that the delegates' constitu ents might not sustain them in such a course. There was painful gagging at the feast of bitter herbs 'the bowscs'J bad prepared for the Indepenieut and Re form Republicans of Pennsylvania. Relief was found in fierce denunciation in the privato conference. It was determined that vigorous and eloquent protests against tbe Bhameless wrong should find expression on tho floor of the Convention. Attorney General Lear, Senator Stewart, and ex-Senator Landon were commissioned to enter them. Tho Uonventiou came. Tbe weak protest of Senator Landon was but a poor apology for tbe condemna tion promised and that should have been pronounced. It was surrender— shameful, craven and complete. There was a majority, but it was one secured through treachery and 'boss' power. There was harmony, but it was the harmony of despair. There was unau imity, but it was the sullen or helpless acquiescence of poor slaves recaptured in their flight to freedom aud led back with handcuffed wrists and manacled ankles into accursed slavery. As if to fill the cup of bitter humiliation to the full, the platform must outrage tbe party by feigning ignorance of tbe gross corruptions and übuses which so recently have shocked the public sense by indorsing a State Administration which no honest man can but condemn, and by trifling with our sense and sympathies iu awkward, meaningless and heartless platitudes of approval President Garfield's Administration and of sympathy in bis sore affliction. Fellow citizens, not in humility and repentance do the political usurpers, political jobbers, and official wrong doers—your dishonored leaders—ask forgiveness for their offenses. They crave no condonation. They rather demand that you condemn those who would dare to thwart their evil mach inations, aud give to them a fresh com mission to pursue to your detriment and shame their work of usurpation, self-aggrandizement and plunder. Do you realize what they are asking of you ? "(JIVE MK MIIERTY OR DEATH !" Anxious, heart-sick, crushed, I has tened to my homo. I saw tho danger lurking in tbe cup they had prepared for you. To drink it now was to take more fatal ilrauglits hereafter. I felt powerless to avert the danger. I re solved 1 would not help to raise it to your lips. This did not meet the stem demands of duty. You must be warn ed. Those thrilling stanzas of the pure and patriotic Whittier came ringing in my ears : Men of tlie North-land! Where's the manly spirit Of the Iriie-liearted and the unsliaekled gone? Sous of the old freemen, do we lint inherit Their names alone? is the old I'ilgrim spirit quenched within us? Stoops the strong manhood of our souls so low, That Mammon's love or parly's wile can win us To silence now ? And when our laud to ruin's brink is verging. In God's name let UN speak while there is time, Now, when the padloek* for our lips are forging, Silence is crime! Still my courage failed me. My I heart shrank from tbe task. 1 saw bo- fore me misunderstanding, desertion of political friends, denunciation, labor, sacrifice and perhaps political suicide. Could not action be deferred and yet tbe danger be averted ? Self wished it so, but duty was impatient and inex orable. Finally I was compelled to ask with Patrick Ilenry, "Shall we gather strength by irresolution and in action ? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supine ly on our backs and hugging the delu sive phantom of hope until our enemies shall have bound us hand aud foot ? * * * There is no retreat but in submissioo and slavery. Our chains are forged. The war is inevitable and let it come. I repeat it, let it come! It is vain to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry peace, peace, but there is no peace. The war has actu ally begun. Why stand we here idle ? What is it that the gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be pur chased at the price of chains and slave ry ? Forbid it, Almighty God I I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give mc liberty or give me death !" So say thousands of Re publicans in the State of Pennsylvania to-day : "As for us, give us political liberty or give us political death." THE PICTURE NOT OVERDRAWN. But, do you say, the picture is over drawn ? It cannot be too highly col ored That system which found its embodiment in a Guiteau, and its over throw, we trust, in the assassination of a Garfield—the nation's noblest and best—cannot be painted in colors too black and revolting. It finds its true counterpart in that system which con ceived a Booth and fouud its choicest victim in the martyred Lincoln. In the latter system men hold their fellow men in bondage. In the former the creatures bold their creators in base political and civil servitude. THE FINAL APPEAL My fellow-citizens, will you longer cherish this accursed system of spoils and "boss rule ?" Shall the rich field of Pennsylvania Republicanism, so long infested and almost monopolized by their rank and vicious growth, longer remain under their dominion 1 Shall not the plowshares of aroused popular opinion and the barrows of our suffrages thoroughly tear it up, while the burning indignatiou of a long suffering and outraged people shall consume the vile crop in smoke and ashes? When thus cleansed, shall we not sow therein the pure golden seed of true Republicanism— not unduly anxious that not a single cockleseed luav be sown therewith ? When this is done, shall we not care fully watch that hereafter no enemy shall again sow their tares therein ? Then, when the glorious harvest comes, Camerons, Quays, lloyts, McManes and McGecs shall not be the highest products of our soil, but like our neigh boring Ohio, Garfields, Hayes, Sher mans and Waites, may be the fruits of which we con boast The groer-shop, the gambling deu, and the ribald club room Rball no longer be the nurseries in which our Republicanism shall be fostered. The Sunday school, the public school, and the lyceum shall nourish our Republicanism and give to us, not for masters, but honored leaders, patriotic and God-fearing men. Little can be hoped from those, who, in the race for honor and preferment in accordance with the laws of this vicious system, have become soiled and com promised thereby. Their lips are seal ed. A ollar is around their necks. To you, old and middle-aged citizens, who have shunned the contaminating influences of Pennsplvania politics, let us appeal for your encouragement, your counsels, and your prayers To you, young men, for you are strong and courageous,that, flinging awaj all am bition, you hero resolve with me that this accursed rule shall cease—that all the ends we aim at shall be our coun try's, God's, and Truth's. At the bier of our honored and beloved Presi dent, let us pledge ourselves, that this warfare shall never cease until the boasted avenue of honorable preferment from the most lowly station up to the highest office, through industry, virtuo, and meritorious public service shall no longer be obstructed by the offensive dung-heups of spoils ami plunder. As the martyred Lincoln on the sacred field of Gettysburg, in the presence of the hero-dead, called upon the living, so in tho presence of our dead Presi dent, let us "highly resolve that tho dead shall not have died iu vain ; that the Nation (and Commonwealth, too,) shall, under God. have a new birth of freedom, and that the government of the people, by the- people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth." Then will our glorious watchwords, "Virtue, Liberty and Independence" be our crowning glory, and not our constantly rebuking shamo.

NO. 47 SAVINGS UV GARFIELD. After the battle of arms comes the battle of history. For the noblest man that lives there still remains a conflict. I would rather be beaten in right than succeed in wrong. Present evils always seem greater than those that never come Growth is better than permanence, and permanent growth is better than all. It is one of the precious mysteries of sorrow that it finds solace in the un selfish thought Statesmanship consists rather in re moving the causes than in punishing or evading the results. Ideas are the great warriors of the world, and a war that has no ideas be hind it is simply brutality. Eternity alone will reveal to the hu man race its debt of gratitude to the peerless and immortal name of Wash ington. It is as much the duty of all good men to protect and defend the reputa tion of worthy public servants as to de tect public rascals.

An act of bad faith on tbe part of *■ State or municipal corporation,, like poison in the blood, will transmit its curse to succeeding generations. Had faith on tbe part of an individ ual, a city, or even a State, is a small evil in comparison with tbs calamities which follow bad faith on tbe part of a sovereign government. If there be one thing upon this earth that mankind love and admire better than another it is a brave man ; it is a man who dares to look the devil In the face and tell him he is a devil. We should do nothing inconsistent with the spirit and genius of our insti tutions. We should do nothing for revenge, but everything for security ; nothing for the pa6t, everything for the present and future. ADVERTISING ~THAT PAID. John Manning, the Sheriff of Dead wood, D. T., was in St. Louis on busi ness, and he remembered that a year before a St. Louis man had been up to I>eadwood and left owing a man sever al hundred dollar*, which was to be paid as soon as he got home. Man ning met the man in St. Louis, and he said he would band hint the money next day, but the days passed and the money did not come, though the mao was amply able to pay. one uioru* ing Manning inserted a personal in a newspaper to the effect that if the man who left Dead wood betweenftwo'daya did not pay the money he forget to pay, before night, the whole circum stance would bo published the next day. The notice was signed 'John Manning, Sheriff of Deadwood. 1 ' Be foro nine o'clock a young man called at Manning's hotel and said he come to pay twenty-two dollars he had borrow ed to go out ofDeadwood. Manning found out who tho money was borrow ed from, and took it to carry to tbe Dead wood citizen, remarking that ho was not the mau referred to, but it was a mighty mean Sheriff who would not carry money to • a friend. The next man to call was the man he wanted, and bo paid the money and apologised, and begged the Sheriff to say nothing? about it. During the day seven citi zens of St. Louis called on Manning and paid him money for citizens of Dendwood, believing tbe Sheriff had reference to them in his notice; and after ho had gone away, another citi zen called aud asked the clerk for Man ning, but the clerk said the other fel lows bad all been there and paid up, and this man had better keep his mon ey. The Sheriff said he always thought advertising paid, but he never had in demonstrated to his satisfaction before. GOING TO MAKE SHORT WORK OF HIM. Major Sanger, who is known in military slang as a 'bantam,' was re turning one day recently from Bis mark to fort Lincoln, which is across the river, and the ambulance in which he wan riding was delayed by a team and wagon driven by one of the class known as mule-whackers in this coun try. The driver of the auibulanco and the mule-whacker got into a wordy al tercation, and Major Sanger got very indignant at vhat.be believed to be impertinent language and unwarrantr od interference in his journey. He jumped from the ambulance, a Tom Thumb in size a Qoliah in fury," and exclaimed: 'Get that wagon out of the way.' The mule-whacker looked at him quizzically and asked: 'Who the devil are you?' 'I am Major Sanger, of tho army, sir, and 1 want you to got that wagon out of the way.' The mule-whacker ejected a mouthful of tobacco into the road and remarkod: 'I)o you know what I will do with you, Major Sanger, of the army, sir, if you don't make less noiso with your mouth V 'What will you do V inquired the major, looking as large and fierce as possible. 'l'll set a mouse-trap and catch you, Major Sanger, o r the army, sir, and give you to my puppy to play with.'— Chicago Inter-Ocean. (iironic LOOMCIKWH of (lie Bowls results from imperfect digestion.
