Why Governor Geary' Should he ,rto.
Elected
Because he has been ,a faithful effi
cient and honest Chief 'Magistrate.
Beertus - e heist the nominee, and rep
resentative of a patty that stood I the
comitry in the n o w- of (lali!2,t•l', alit) that
stands by the principles of JLINOve and
FreedOM Upon which our t. 141% eminent,
is baied.
Bemuse no has -heen triad and not,
found wanting; neither in his devotion
to the principles of true Repablican
*in, nor in his integrity in lithieting to
the strict line of principle in all his .
official acts.
Because he is a man whose private
character is unblemished, and - whose
habiti are such as meet the approval - of
goodall citizens. -
Bcause his elution will. ho a severe
rebuke to the dishonest politicians,
who
seek to' accomplish his defeat - by the
most corrupt and indefensible means.
Because Pennsylvania, owes it t o her
honor . ,and fair nathe i not to permit a
brave And gallant soldier, who drew his
sword] for lier,safety in the hour Of her
deadly peril, and who has' served her
faithfully in time of Peace, to be defeat
ed by one, who sympathized with her
enemies when the dark cloud of battle
lowered, and the tierce conflict , for Na
tional existence surged aroutid her.
- Because a. just regard for the i nicinory
of the martyred alt id, %rho tell in the
Iternie struggle! for "..'ational 4.!xis • tence,
forbids the,Slate to place in high offi
cial position \ these tao sympathized
with their etieruies.,
'Because the triumpit of -the Demo

he the triumplp l of t i;e principles of
Free Trade, and. a deadly blow _at the
policy of Protection to Amelicau In
dustryl--a policy to which the hardy
SODS of the Old Keystone have always
been devoted.
.Iceause the triumphant re-eicetion
of Governor Geary. would rejoice .the
ihearts of the true.friemls (he Nation
everywhere,
while his defeat would
bring joy.into the Chtliu of its enemies.
And finally, because the true ifiends

THE HERALD SATISFII;U.—Ti,e New

financial condition of the vonntry.—
Suspending its disposition to growl at
everything, it says : ,
" Since the war closed, no w.only tour
years or a little more ago, we have paid
several hundred mlilionsof floating in
debtedness arising from the war, besides
paying the regular _and vast demands
of the o ,. .vern men t for nary and ex

there has been nearly all the time

Yes, a much larger sum than that, if
the gold be reckoned at currency value.
And what are wo doing now Why,
Mi . ..l3outwell is puzzled what to do
With the money accumulating his

limit allowed .by law to the sinking

and
.putting them away till Congress

--- tee - Friends of Republican 'prin
ciples aro requested to make nit necessary prepa
rations for the meetings advertised in this paper.
Is it not a • little ".4lognlar that those
who were most etamorons for the justi
fication ,of the charges again,st Mr.
Donaldson as a public officer, now howl
loudest because their challabge is ac
cepted and the charges proved beyond
the Power of any - mall to refute? Will
they have more': "
It is alleged that Packer gave $5O to
help equip three-months volunteers at
the outset of the rebellion. The Press
asks if that $5O is . to oft et Cleary's four
years' service on the field. We guess
not. Many men gave half they were
worth to raise troops, and none of them
are asking to be made Governor.
Now come the chronic complaints of
the Democracy, and swear—about the
refusal of Gen. Grant to endorse the
nomination opudge Dent, his brother
in-law, as a candidate fur Governor i
Mississippi. The other day, and in fact
for months, these same\ complainants
have been swearing •abokilt Grant's giv
ing aid and comfort• to none but rely
tines. Is it possible tosuit these felbaws
at all ?
Maine held its State election MI IWD
dny week. There were three tickets in
the field—Republican, Democratic, and
Radical Temperance. And though not
a single political meeting was held in
the State during the campaign, and the
vote very light, the regular Republican
ticket ti vas elected by about 10,000 ma
jority. The Legislature is overwhelm
ingly Republican. The bolters' ticket
did not carry a single town in the State.
We did not say last week what we
now, say: That any °nicer charged
With the collection and payment of
public moneys belonging to the State,
who fans to comply with the statute
'and pay over the moneys to the
. State
Treasury, is a defaulter; and i n add lion
to loss of fees and Commissions, is lia
ble to indictment and punishment by
impiisonment in cum jPenitentiary.—
Probably cominentiis unnecessary.
Asa Packer, worth twenty or fifty
millions, sends $2,500 to the relief_of
the Avondale widows and orphans.
Gov. Geary, worth twenty thonSadtl,_
sends $5OO for the same purpose. As
$20,000 is to $20,00,000, so is $5OO to
$2,500. Or to put it correctly—Gov.
Geary gives at the rate of $1 to every
$4O lie is worth ; at which rate Asa
Packer should have given $100,000.
The Democratic papers are responsible
for this "odious comparison." Try
again, gentlemen.
• -
A. gentleman who is high authority
in the financial world and who occu
pies a high public position wites to say:'
" if sustained by the l people, Grant will
•
pay $120,000,000 of the debt during his
first year, and not less than $600,000,-
000 during his term. We shall have,
also, a system of finance which will
pay every dollar of the debt in twenty
years." Very good. To *lte for Geary
is to sustain Grant. To - 6te for Packer
is to condemn. Grant's- administration.
We put this for the men who propose
to trade votes her for votes for
Donaldson.
Dexter & 17, Spruce Street New
York, publish two valuable papers=the
Shoe & Leather /?eporter, and the
Harness
,& Carriage Journal. The first
is a quarto of 64 column% at $3,50 per
year, Weekly; and of very great value to
tanners and shoe dealers. The latter
journal is a smaller quarto weekly, $3,50
per year, and of very great value to
Carriage and harness makers. Several
copies of each ought to betaken in this
village. •
And now comes Rumor up into the
land and says " David Cameron, Re
publican candidate for Treasurer, went
into the Democratic caucus at Plow'
and asked for the support of that party
in this campaign."
We are authoriied to say that_so far
from there being any truth in that
rumor ll David Cameron did know at
what place such caucus was held. And
so we nail another lie.
But if the report alluded to afflicts
Republicans, what shall be their. grief
at the fact that Messrs. Donaldson and
Cox are substantially the candithites of
the Democracy by their own motion"
/
il
I,ct, every Republican, 118
,110 goes t
thO polls on the 12th day of Octobe ,
remember that the devil never give
over his designs to ruin the human
race. Sometimes he appeals to one
passion or weaknes, and again to an
other. But the hggregato of devilish
effort does not vary. Bad faith, decep
tion, excesses of all kinds, incipient
and full-fledged crime—these are but
so many agencies employed by the old
enemy to carry out his ends. One
motto should be " Geary, Williams,
and an honest public service !" You
can work for that and have a clear and
comfortable conscience. Rally, then,
for Geary, the patriot Governor, Will
hams, the uncorruptible Judge, and
the whole ticket, from Governor to Cor
oner. Porw,ard I

Deinagogues, in all ages and in all
climes, have sought to array the base
and unprincipled portion of community
against the order loving. 'This may do
temporarily: - But, as, all history in
forms us WOG , comes u time when the
base tide rethrns to overwhelm - first the
knaves who - jinvoke' its ageney. The
man who exeiteS the base and deprav
ed against the orderly and sober mass
of citizens, can always; 'if he listens
carefully, hear the enemy thundering
at his own-gate.
MI
The plan. to trade ofl Republican
votes for Packer in - return for Demo
cratic votes for Donaldson .cannot de
ceive Any Republican who does not
want to be deceived. Every Republi
can who strikes such a bargain need
not plead decePtion in excuse,. No
body, not asitricky,,will believe such
an apologist. Not only does not the
meal fail to cover the cat's ears, but her
unsheathed claws are plainly in sight.
Some may 'remember the other story of
the cat, which cunningly suspended it
self by the heels above the tub of meal.
Wo believe some of the young and silly
rats " saw it," and suffered. But, the
majority did not see it;" and lived to
tell the tale.
" Summer soldiers and sunshine
patriots" are those that straggle when
the trial hour comes. Such men . are
full of hope and bouyancy so long as
they are called' upon only to eat and
drink at the expense. of 'other and qui
eter people. They are valiant on a full
stomach, and swell up with a - sort of
proud satisfaction when they aro per
mitted 'to throw up their caps after the'
work is done and the battle won. But
the men who bear the heat and the
burden of the day ; who give their days
and nights to the triumph of princi
ples; who value parties as the applian
ces of political reform—do not shirk
out of the crowning labor. They go
forward whenever Itiiere is a cull for
action'; forgetting mere men in remem
bering principles and national destiny.
When Otis little light is over, you may
draw the line between camp-followers
and the main body without difficulty.
•
That there may be no misunder
standing as to the nature of official de
falcation, or embezzlement, we append
that section of the penal code relating
to the same:
" If any State, county, township or municipal
officer of this Commonwealth, charged with the
collection, safe-keeping, transfer, or disburse=
ment of public money, shall convert to his own
use, in any way whatever, or shall use by way of
investment in nny kind of property or nicrolian-,
dim, any portion of the public money entrusted
to him 4or collection, sale-keeping, transfer, or
disbursoMent or shall prove a defaulter, or fail to
pay overlhe same when thereuntolegally'required
by the Stt'to,eounty, or township treasurer, or other
proper officer or person authorized to demand
and receive the same, every such act shall be
deemed and adjudged to be an embezzlement of
so much of said money as shall be thus taken,
converted, invested, used, or unaccounted for,
which is hereby declared a misdemeanor; and
every such officer, and every 'person or persons
whomsoever aiding and abetting, or being in any
way accessory to said net, and being thereof con
victed, shall ho sentenced to an imprisonment,
by separate or solitary confinement at labor, not
exceeding five years, and to pay a fine equal to
the amount of the money ombezzled."—P. L.

now threatened with Packer's $2( ,000,-
000 ? That Mr. Packer will get out of
this campaign with a less expenditure'
than $lOO,OOO is not probable. He could
spare a,million and not know much
difference. But his millions will not
corrupt enough of the masses to make
any perceptible difference in the result.
The bulk of his cash will go to enrich
the leaders of hfs party, who care more
for money than they do for the election
of anybody.
When Leroy Tabor was Sheriff of
Tioga county his vigilance and careful
business habits put about $5OOO into the
County Treasury—from sources whence
not so much ,had , been realized to the
benefit of the taxpayers in thirty years.
That money ;Went to help defray the
costs of maintaining justice in the
county, and was so much saved to the
taxpayers.
Leroy Tabor, too, was widely known
and noted for the prompt and impar
tial discharge of his duty as a public
officer. Ho did .no partial act for the
purpose of laying up votes for a future
preferment. He never asked—" will
this be popular?" but only "Is this
my duty ?" In a word, he administer
ed the office of Sheriff in the interest
of Me whole people, without fear, favor,
or affection, or hope of fee or reward.
He put order above all things, and
granted no special privileges to any
man, or any body of men, with the ob
ject to bind any man to his car when
he - wanted some other place.
Leroy Tabor, too, has a heart as un
selfish, and a benevolence as' broad as
any man in America. We know, bet
ter than the public, how good a giver
he is where giving goes to render any
creature happier. But his gifts are not
distributed with au eye to advance
ment,- nor for applause. As a citizen
he is liberal, though able to distinguish
a sham from a reality. As a man there
is_not one purer in motive or in act in
, Tiogn - county. •He is honest in every
place where he can be put; and the
man who should undertake to buy or
sell him would. find himself unable to
command or deliver the goods.
For these sterling qualities—courage
to do his whole duty, unspotted integ
rity, and indisputable • ability—he is
commended to, and deserving of, , the
suffrages of the masses. He is a man of
fine business tact and talent, competent
to fill any position he will consent to
take; These considerations constitute
him all that is necessary to protect the
interests of the public,
We have no fear for the result. To
doubt the will of the Republicans of
Tioga county, to reward faithful ser
vice, is to impeach the people of in
competency to maintain an elective
public service. That dcrubt finds no
lodgement in our mind. At the same
time, in view of the reckless despera
tion of men who are soured by defeat,
we can do no less than speak candidly
and plainly. Mere personal feeling or
preference will not control a dozen men
to vote
_against their principles. The
exceptions to this remark' are very few.
