ADVICES at Democratic county head quarters give flattering reports of re ceptions accorded to the party candi dates wherever they have traveled. It is clearly evident from the present outlook that the ticket will be elected by a handsome majority. There is only one danger to be feared, that is a light vote. To insure success Democrats should see that every member of the party goes to the pollr ou Tuesday. Do not let a grand vie tory be missed through apathy. THE Pennsylvania Partner , publish- i ed at Meadville, is the recognized j organ of the Grangers and Alliance | in the north and northwest of the State, and it is in no sense a party organ. It calls upon the farmers of Pennsylvania to he true to themselves by the election of Tilden as State Treasurer, and its voice won't ho un heeded. Quay wants a State Treas urer to cover up. Pattison wants a Treasurer who will turn on the light and open the books. Which leader will the people follow ? REITHLICAXS have no great lovo for Chris. Wren, who has been Prothono tary for the past three years. He has never cared anything about the party and does not in this campaign. Alien is working hard, hut it is for Wren only. His work, however,will amount to nothing on election day. Wlegand will beat him out of sight. The Fourth District will roll up a majority for its candidate that will sweep him into office with a rush, and the lower end will thereby add another to its Democratic force at Wilkes-L'arre. LEE STANTON is making a noble tight for the office of Clerk of the Courts. His opponent, Bill Schwartz, is not worrying over the result, and considers himself entirely out of the race. Iu doing this Schwartz demon strates that he possesses a little more common sense than the other men on the ticket. Mr. Stanton is one of the leading men in upper Luzerne, having been twice elected Burgess of the banner Republican borough in the county, West Pittston. He is expect ed to have the largest majority on the ticket, with the probable exception of Lynch. TUE average reader of the daily newspapers who pays any attention to the proceedings going on in the Senate must he forcibly impressed with the fact that the majority party of thai body is doing its level best to defeat a fair and thorough investiga tion. Every resolution offered which would assist in clearing the mystery of Boyer and McCamant's connection with Bardsley is voted down at once by a strict party vote. In violation of their sworn duty these brazen per jurers obstruct every attempt to bring J the thieves to justice. Is it not time Pennsylvania was released from the power of the plunderers ? MCCARTNEY and his blatant profes sional patriotism will fall outside the breastworks on Tuesday. Luzerne County wants a man to represent it in the District Attorney's office. Mc- Cartney is unable to till the require ments, morally or in any other man ner. Mayor Sutton, of Wilkes-Barre, has led a revolt in his own party against the demagogue, and Repub licans arc deserting their candidate by the wholesale. Give us a man without a stain upon bis character and one whom his neighbors and townsmen respect. We want honor able men in honorable offices. Yote for John M. Carman, of Nanticoke, and Luzerne will have a prosecutor who bears malice to no sect or creed. Ko doubt there are many voters undecided as to how they should cast their ballot upon the question of a constitutional convention. That the j constitution needs revision no one will deny, but whether it is safe to trust! such work to u partisan convention is | a matter for each individual to view as he thinks best. We hope the call for a convention will be carried, and the candidates for district delegates, Messrs. Hayes and Woodward, are well qualified to represent Luzerne in that body. Mr. Hayes is known per sonally to almost every voter in the Fourth District, and bis election would be a fitting tribute to his years of service in behalf of the people of the lower end. The county is safe, according to the returns of the constables, who were at Wilkes-Ham! on Monday and reported their bailiwicks as containing nothing but law-abiding people. Ifefore the Battle. The last week of the campaign is drawing to a close and as election day approaches the confidence of the Demo- ' cratic managers increases. A full vote will insure a grand State and county victory. The people of Pennsylvania j have become alarmed at the rascality j and thieving of Republican otlicials, as shown in the several investigations held during the past few months, and nothing short of the overthrow of the bosses will satisfy them. The men who have handled the finances of the State for their individual interest and swindled the commonwealth out of hundreds of thousands of dollars mnst be relegated to the rear, and the election of Wright and Tilden will do this. The public has a right to know what was done with the missing millions. There is but one way to find out. Elect a Democratic Auditor < ieneral and State Treasurer. In the county contest the Republican machine at Wilkes-Barre has deserted the ticket it nominated, excepting one candidate. That is the candidate for Judge, lie is to be elected at all haz ards, by fair means or foul, it matters little to the gang. All they want is to get a majority of the Judiciary, and the I county will be in their grasp for years to come. The numerous schemes brought to light lately shows what desperate chances they are taking to elect Lyman ll.Bennett. Those should be sufficient reasons for every honest voter to cast his ballot against the Republican candi date. But aside from the political portion of tlie issue let every voter carefully con sider the ability and experience of Ben nett and Lynch before voting. The man who will he elected is to serve for ten years. One of the candidates has been a lawyer for nineteen, years. Out side of a small circle of acquaintances he is unknown. An investigation of the court records proves that in those nine teen years of practice he has appeared before a jury in twelve petty cases. Is such a man qualified to take upon him self the responsibility of sitting in judg ment at the class of trials for which Lu zerne County is noted? In a county filled with eminent criminal lawyers a Judge without ability or experience will he like putty in their hands. There are lawyers at Wilkes-Barre who could twist Bennnott about their little fingers and sway his puny judgment as they wish. Where is the man who wishes to j risk his life or liberty before an obscure | lawyer of Bennett's calibre? Hold up his twelve little civil cases I before the eighteen hundred tried by \ John Lynch, many of them being among 1 the most prominent trials in this section of the State. It is like comparing the brilliant electric light with the tallow candle. He is a credit to the bench of Luzerne County and an honor to the Executive who placed him there. John Lynch will be elected, unless the voters succumb to the tempters who are now canvassing the county with corporation hoodie, threatening and intimidating school teachers and workingmen. Vote for the little breaker boy who picked slate at Ilacklebarnie —lion. John Lynch. Single Tux Work. At Donaldson, Schuylkill County, a single tax club of over one hundred members was organized on Saturday evening, The meeting was an enthusi i astic one and was adrdressed by 11. V. Hetzel, editor of Justicc, of Philadelphia. The formation of clubs of this character is being quietly carried on throughout the country, and the number of people who advocate George's theories is con stantly increasing. While these clubs are free to take part in politics, they are in no sense mere political organizations, and cannot be classified with the aver age campaign associations, whose lives end when the votes are counted. When once organized upon a solid basis by men who are thoroughly acquainted with the principles they espouse, these dubs seldom lapse or become defunct through those agencies which invariably wreck reform bodies. To become a member one must be in thorough har mony with the single tax doctrine, and, consequently there is no danger of get ting entangled in broils arising from varied views. All think alike and work for the same purpose. Freeland, al though it does not contain a regularly formed single tax club, is a stronghold for George's followers, and, it is claimed, contains more persons of this belief than j any town of its size in the State. This is certainly true as far as it relates to ! free traders, and as nearly all of the hit-1 tor are imbued with the justice of the single tax, there would seem to he an opening here for such a club as was or ganized at Donaldson. What Free Traders Have Done. The Democratic party has abandoned, and abandoned finally, its sneaking fear that the people of the United States could not be made to understand the difference between taxes to defray the necessary expenses of the Government and taxes to fill the pockets of private persons. The people have pushed the party on to a frank avowal of hostility to the protective principle. The time will soon come when it will no longer be possible to run down to Washington and get the Congress to vote riches into the pockets of favored gentlemen at the expense of the whole body of taxpayers. '1 hat game is nearly played out. — Jiecord. Killed at Shenandoah. 1 he celebration attending the laying of the church corner-stone on Sunday at Shenandoah had a sensational climax. I pward of 2000 excursionists gathered at the Lehigh \ alley depot in the even ing to take trains for their homes. Several crowded upon the tracks. Asa train approached the depot three men refused to leave the tracks and P. J. Ferguson, general freight solicitor for the Lehigh Valley, narrowly lost his life inconsequence. Mr. Ferguson grabbed two of the three men and hurled them from the tracks. The third man was caught by the train and cut to pieces under the wheels, and Mr. Ferguson was struck by the cylinder of the engine and thrown upon the two men away from the track. The man killed was John Millonowiche, 24 years of age, and resided in Plymouth. He Wan Hurled Alive. | Two weeks ago Farmer George Ilei doeker, of Green Township, F.rie Coun ty, apparently died very suddenly of what was supposed to have been heart 1 ail lire. Hie remains were buried four days later, and temporarily interred in a neighbor's lot in the Erie Cemetery pending tin; purchase of one by his fam ily. '1 he transfer was made yesterday and when the remains were exhumed the casket was opened at the request of Ins family, and a horrifying spectacle was presented. Ihe body had turned around lying on its face, and it and the interior of the casket bore traces of a terrible struggle with death in its most awful i shape. Jhe distorted and hlood-covered 1 features bore evidence of the horrible ! agony endured. The clothing about the i head und neck had been torn into ■ shreds, AS WHS likewise tlie lining of the collin. Bloody marks of finger nails on ! t he face, throat and neck told of the aw- i j ful despair of the doomed man, who tore I | his own flesh in his terrible anguish. I BRIEF ITEMS. Hon. Hugh E.
