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.

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

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.
