The Muster Roll of Recruits. The special muster roll of recruits from the ranks of the once Grand Old Party keeps lengthening as the campaign is strengthening. Tuesday, for example, brought tidings that Professor Albert R. Leeds, of the Stevens Institute, Hobo ken, a life-long Republican, had re nounced that party because of its tariff policy, which he pronounced "palpable robbery." Another convert was Robert McAdam, of Rome, N. Y., an influential old-time Republican leader, who has declared himself an out-and-out tariff reformer; and he adds that there are hundreds of farmers in central New York who are Republicans who are not going to vote for Harrison. Still another signficant and important accession to the ever-swelling ranks of the tariff reform legion is Colonel Joseph Nunez, of Buffalo, who was chairman of the lirst Republican convention held on the Pacific slope, but who has now reached the conviction that the prin ciples under which Harrison and Reiti are runing are hollow mockeries, and that the Democracy is the party that will do the people the most good. These men are but types of thousands of other Repulicans who have reached a similar judgement and will follow the same course; though most of them, hav ing never held conspicious political sta tion, may not feel called upon to declare their intention in advance. With volunteer recruits dropping into camp as thickly as all the signs denote, the Democratic managers will be too busy from now until election eve mus tering them in to pay heed to the sense less roorbacks about state stealing, col onizing, etc., which Mr. Carter's badly scared lieutenants pass these fine Octo ber days in concocting in such desperate and incoherent shape.— Record. The Typicul American. Chauneey M. Depew, New York's Republican leader, in one of the greatest speeches of his life, paid the following tribute to the Democratic candidate for president: "If I am to name the typical Ameri can, the man who loves and believes in his country beyond everything else, the man who, determining once in what direction his duty leads, cannot be swerved from the path, the man who is doggedly persistent in what he believes to be right, the man who thinks not of self, but of his country and of its needs, I would name Grover Cleveland. "What he has accomplished is the very highest tribute to the possibilities of American citizenship. A country lawyer in the city of Buffalo, he shed lustre upon the high profession which he had chosen. As the mayor of his native city he presented as his record a clean and economical administration. "Coming into the highest position in the land without previous experience and with scarcely a precedent to guide hirn in the conditions which surrounded him, he won the affection of his party and commanded the respect and admira tion of his opponents. I find myself in one of the proudest positions of my life in being permitted to present to you Grover Cleveland as the typical Ameri can." THE candidates on the Democratic .county ticket paid Freeland and vicinity a visit this week, and found the lines unbroken so far as that part of the ticket is concerned. While they may not be exactly enthusiastic over some of the nominees, the Democrats of Freeland and Foster will roll up their ususl big majorities for the national, state and county candidates. The little dissatis faction that did exist after the conven tion at Wilkes-Barre was eliminated by the obnoxious selections made by the Repuhlidans. COUGHING LEADSTO CONSUMPTION.

Indiana I'olltlcH in National Affair*—Ex travagance and Corruption—The Trade with Plutocrats—Some of the "States men" of the Present Regime. The issue in this campaign is the Re publican record of the last four years. It is a very bad record. It is a record of wrongdoing, of unfair favoritism in legislation and of scandalous miscon duct in administration; a record of reck less squandering; of the debauchment of the public service; of corruption in office and in getting office, and of shame ful malpractices in the attempt to retain power regardless of the popular will. The administration and the Fifty-first congress came into power by plain pur chase. The Republican party in 1888 secured its triumph by selling legisla tion short. Abandoning all that it had professed and all that its leaders, living and dead, , had taught concerning the limitations of right in tariff legislation, it framed a platform in Chicago in which it offered to monopolists such tariff rates as they should desire for their enrichment at the expense of the people, in return for con tributions to the campaign fund. The offer was accepted. The money was paid, and with it the notorious cor mptionist, Matthew Quay, with his lieutenant, Dudley, was set to buy the election. When the funds ran low John Wanamaker purchased an option on a cabinet office by securing an additional contribution of $400,000 from the buy ers of legislation upon a margin. When the congress thus elected came together the Republican majority was too narrow and uncertain to do the work it had promised. It could not de liver the legislative goods it had sold to monopolists without resort to further unfairness and wrong. It proceeded to unseat members of the minority whom the people had elected and to seat Re publicans whom the people had refused to elect, and not a man in all the major ity was brave or honest enough to raise a voice in protest. When the time came for debate the majority decided not to permit debate lest the truth be made plain to the peo ple. The rules of tho house were revolu tionized. A dictator of peculiarly arbi trary will was placed in the chair, who suppressed discussion, overrode all con siderations of fairness, changed th • house from a deliberative body into a mere machine for recording his de termination, and thus enacted the meas ures of monopoly which the party had been paid in advance to pass. In two short years this congress squan dered an enormous surplus, reduced the treasury to the sorest straits, laid heavy burdens upon the people and upon in dustry, and made a determined, though fortunately a fruitless effort to rob the several states of the right of free elec tions in order to secure for tho Republi can party a longer lease of power. It sought to buy votes for the future by pension legislation of the most reckless and unjust character, whose shadow hangs like a pall over the finances of the country and must embarrass its prosperity for a generation to come. Tho administration thus elected de livered to Wanamaker the cabinet office he had bought, put Tanner into the pen sion office, with his exultant exclama tion, "God help the surplus!" hot upon his lips, and when his scandalous mis conduct inado his removal a necessity, put Raum there instead to work still larger mischief in less vociferous fash ion, and to fill the office with specula tions, peculations and scandals so shame- j ful that even the Itecd congress could not be dragooned into palliating them. And in spite of further and more flag rant exposure Raum is in office still! The administration came into power protesting most solemnly its purpose to enforce the civil service law in letter and spirit, and to extend its scope and influence. It straightway set Clarkson at work to behead postmasters at a rate wholly unprecedented. The president openly farmed out the federal offices as spoils to such bosses as Quay and Piatt, and quartered his own relatives and partners and chums upon the public service. When the civil service com mission discovered the most flagrant and shameless abuses in Baltimore, and urged the removal of numbers of persons by name for proved misconduct amounting to criminality—misconduct perpetrated in the name and on behalf of the admin istration—the whole matter was jaunt ily put aside by Wanamaker, and tho president in 110 way interfered to redeem his pledgo or to freo himself from the shame of it all. Dudley was one of the agents in the purchase of Mr. Harrison's election, and ho was found out. Mr. Harrison has finco refused to hold intimate personal relations with the "blocks of five" statesman, but through his attorney general and former law partner he has interfered with tho administration of justice in Dudley's case, has caused a judge upon the bench to shield and pro tect crime, and has since rewarded that judge for his corrupt subserviency by elevating him to a higher judicial posi tion. And within these later months the country has seen the president organize the civil service into a political machiue. and with it compel his own nomination for a second term. Froui the very beginning Mr. Hurri son liaa used tlie appointing power as a means of securing a second term for himself. He resorted at the outset to a device justly denounced by the elder president of his name as wrong and dan gerous. He muzzled the press of his own party so far as criticism of his ad ministration was concerned. He made sure of the support of the prominent Re publican newspapers for all his ambi tions by putting their editors under ob ligations to himself for high office, car rying with it pecuniary rewards, politi cal advantages or social distinction, ac cording to the known need and desire of each of his beneficiaries. In certain directions he filled the for eign service with incapable men to oblige unworthy interests. He sent Mizner to Central America, and kept him there long after the country had given expression to its disgust and humiliation with the conduct of an American min ister who, in the interest of a specula tive syndicate, sacrificed the honor of the nation and the flag. He sent Egan and McCreery to Chili, with results grievously hurtful both to the good name and to the commercial interests of the country. To Wanamaker he has added Elkins as a cabinet officer—Elkins, a political adventurer and speculator, who had grown rich out of politics without hav ing won respect enough anywhere to make his name suggestive even of pos sibilities in connection with honorable office. He made Porter the superin tendent of the census, knowing him to be an already discredited manipulator of statistics, a foreign adventurer desti tute of convictions and in search of a market for his peculiar abilities, a man lit that very time conducting business as a vulgar wine tout in combination with politics, and ready to placard his adver tisements in the executive mansion it self. He permitted this man to falsify the census of great states byway of rob bing them of their just representation and thus increasing the chances of that party's success to whose service he had hired himself. It is a sad and shameful story of pledges broken; of fiscal legislation bartered for campaign funds; of elections secured by the purchase of voters; of high office made the subject of vulgar traffic; of the public service, including the most honorable places, prostituted to the pro motion of the president's personal ambi tions; of a court converted into a sanctu ary for the protection of a scoundrel; of judicial subserviency rewardod with high judicial place; of debate suppressed in congress; of a surplus squandered, and of the enormous increase of the peo ple's tax burdens that the proceeds might flow into the coffers of favored monopolists willing to share their spoil with the political organization that made its collection possible. It is a grievous indictment that is here made, but it is perfectly true and it cov ers hut a part of the truth. The speci fications will come later. Tho facts will be given upon which every accusation rests. The whole record will be laid bare—that record which the people by their votes in November are to approve or condemn. And this is not a inero recalling of old errors—a recurrence of offenses repented of. The courses that condemn this ad ministration have been continuous. Raum is still at the head of the pension bureau, and that bureau is not reformed or purified. Marshal Airey still holds office in Baltimore, notwithstanding Commissioner Roosevelt's report as to his organization of the postotlico and cus tom house employees there into a band of political ruffians, his use of them to carry primaries in tho administration's interest by wholesale cheating and by actual physical violence in which lie personally participated. Neither ho nor Postmaster Johnson nor any of their subordinates have been removed, though their conduct was fully set forth and their removal stronglj* urged by Mr. Roosevelt, a Republican member of the civil service commission: though some of tliera, according to Mr. Roosevelt's report, deliberately testified to lies; though many of them openly confessed to cheating; though all of them set at naught tho law against po litical assessments, and though they all professed with more or less of candor the creed of lying, cheating and ballot box stuffing which the testimony showed that they had practiced. These men who, as one of them put it in his testimony, believed "in doing any thing to win," are still in office by grace of Mr. Wanamaker's favor and Mr. Harrison's neglect of duty. And they still constitute the administration ma chine in Baltimore and Maryland pol- In brief, the administration is what it has been. It. profits still by the prac tices for which honest men in both par- ! ties have condemned it in the past. It ! protects its scoundrels and law breakers. I It keeps them in office. It uses them in politics. It sanctions their creeds anil their performances. It sent them and ! such as them to Minneapolis to noui- 1 inate Mr. Harrison for a second term in spite of any desire the Republican party 1 might have for some other candidate. It still looks to the monopolies it has fostered for the money with which to carry the election. In their behalf it has not only made laws, but has neg lected and refused to enforce such laws as there are on the statute books ad verse to them. Tho coal conspiracy has been formed during this administration. Without let or hindrance it has levied a tribute upon the people in face of the antitrust law. That law makes it the imperative duty of the attorney general, through the district attorneys, to bring criminal prosecutions against all the conspirators; hut no district attorney has moved, and the attorney general weakly protests that ho has 110 informa tion touching the conspiracy. In tho interest of good government it is necessary to chastise official miscon duct by defeat. "1 lie men and the party now in power must he sent into retire ment for the public good. Our public life is in need of disinfection. It is time to restore legislation to its proper service if all the people. The simple facts of tlieso four years' history constitute the most conclusive reasons for refusing to intrust this ad ministration or tiie party it represents with a further lease of power. It will he the purpose of this senes of letters to lay those facts clearly before the public. —New York World. The Proof I Kvery where. There is not a true Democrat in the country who is not opnosed to what the Republican leaders call protection, and who does not admit it without having "proof" thrust into his face.—Harris burg Patriot.

The activity and ability shown by General Stevenson thus far in the cam paign demonstrates that ho is one of the most effective campaigners in the country, and for that reason a vice presi dential candidate who brings to the ticket an unusual degree of assistance. Not only are his political utterances judicious and effective campaign argu ments in which the Republican press practically confesses itself unable to dis cover flaws, but he possesses that happy faculty of pleasing audiences wherever ho speaks and impressing the people with his genial, hearty nature. A thoroughgoing partisan and an un compromising Democrat, the candidate for vice president is above all a whole souled, frank and good natured citizen, the warmth of whoso nature and affa bility of whose manner combine to make him popular with the people. It rarely happens that a man can say as much and talk as constantly as General Steven son does without making mistakes which can be used against him, but the tall statesman from Illinois lias shown him self to be the master of tact as well as of oratory.—Omaha World-Herald. A "Peculiarly Interesting" Organization. General Clarkson, who was once , chairman and still retains some titular dignities, says in one of his circular let ters, "private and confidential," that "a peculiarly interesting form of organ isation would be to organize into Repub lican clubs all the workers employed in new industries which have been estab lished under the workings of the Mc- Kinley bill." The. general is right. Nothing would be more peculiarly in teresting than such organization. Tho Republicans of Michigan would be de lighted to carry out the brilliant sug gestion and are only deterred by a lock of material. The voters to bo caught by this dazzling campaign scheme are not to be found in these parts, but when , they do put in an appearance the gen eral can rest assured that his suggestion will be carried into practical execution. —Detroit Freo Press. Specious Reciprocity. Democrats welcome reciprocity whei over it removes any needless restrictions upon commerce. They denounce Mc- Kinley reciprocity because while keep ing the word of promise to tho ear it breaks it to tho hope; because it is with countries with which we have littlo trade; because it lowers prices for foreigners only and not for our own peo ple; because its main purpose is to dis tract attention from the exactions of a robber tariff. Tho whole increase of our trade to the Latin American countries under reciprocity, even if tho goods had cost us nothing, would pay the duty on tin plate for only eight months. These are tho reasons that McKinley reciproc ity is pronounced a sham.—Louisville Courier-JournaL WONDERFUL The cures which are being effected by T)rs.

The Kleetropoise htiH been In use for four yours, and is well known in some sections of the United States, but there are u great inanv sulTerers that have never heard the name. ' Those t hut have heard of it and seen something of its wonderful power, are curious to know , how an instruuient so small and so simple can accomplish cures so grout. Now, while the Electropoisc is very wonderful, it is not at all mysterious. Its operation falls in with what i we know of si ienee and any one ut ull familiar with the simplest facts of biology and Physics can understand. HOW IT OPERATES.—The way in which the Elect ropoisc accomplishes its cures is very ! simple and natural. It consists of a polarizer, which is connected by ft woven wire cord with a small plate and garter. This polarizer is im mersed in cold water, or put on lee. The plate at the other end of the cord is attached to the warm body of the patient, generally at the ankle. From the Inherent nature of this polarizer it becomes neyatlvclu churned, Uy the well-known laws of induction, the plate, and with it the body of the patient, becomes jmsilivelu charged. The body thereby becomes a centre of attraction for negative bodies. Oxygen is the most negative form ot matter in nature. Hence the body, bathed in the atmos phere, drinks in the life-giving oxygen at every pore. Every process of life is thereby uuickoncd. The temperature rises; the pulse throng with a fuller beat; the skin tingles with new life; every organ acts with renewed vigor, and the ell etc poisonous products of the body are thrown off with ease. That quickened change of matter which oxygen produces throughout the system, is accompanied by a largely increased genesis of Nerve Force. Organs half dead and stag nant are born again, and begin to perform their wonted functions. The heart, the lungs, the liver, the organs of the external senses, the organs of reproduction—ull these throw otf their derangement and weakness, and even the disordered intellect is ofttimes rccntlimned. Wheredisea.se has not already made too great ravages, restoration to perfect health is in evitable. The Elcctropoise is generally used at night while the patient is asleep, but may be applied, ot course, at any time, and to several persons during the twenty-four hours It will uist a life-time, never wears out nor loses its strength, never needs mending nor recharging. One in each family will render that family largely independent of doctors and druggists, and thus will save every year many times its small cost. NOT AN ELECT JtICAL APPLIANCE. The Elcctropoise is not in any way akie to the numerous electrical appliances, such as hilt*, insole*, corset*, shields, Ae„ palmed off upon the public. It has no method of generat ing a current, nor means of conducting one. It ucts upon well-known biological principles, and is heartily endorsed by many ot the best physicians In this and other countries, and is daily used by them in their practice. It is pro nounced by them the greatest discovery in the history of medicine, in that it does away with the use of medicines. DIRECTIONS FOR USlNG.—Accompany ngeacH instrument is a book of instructions luily explaining it* uses. Its method of cure is so simple and tree from danger, that the un initiated and even children can use it with per fect ease and success. Editorial in Host on Christian Witness aml Ad vocate, of JWtie Jlnline**, September:!, ISM: "A method of treatment of disease without the use of any medicines or drugs, which has been quietly extending itself over all parts of the I nlted States during the past, three years with very gratifying results. We are slow to commend new discoveries of any kind, lor the reason that so many of them prove to be worthless. Hut we can commend the Elcctropoise as a safe and effective health restorer. Wo do not pretend to explain the philosophy of its workings, but, having realiz ed its beneficial effects, we can sjeak of its re sults. About one year ago we recommended it to Hro. i. I). Ware, of Philadelphia, for his son, who was a great sufferer from Sciatica. He had sought relief in various ways and found none. He was almost helpless, and rapidly de clining. The use of the Elcctropoise restored him to perfect health, and now. after neurlv a year, lie is rejoicing as one who has found great spoil. We have seen testimonials or most re markable cures. This notice of the Electro poise is without solicitation, and entirely gra tuitous. We do it for the good of tin- afflicted. \\ e have no personul interest in it, and are not paid for what we say in its favor." The following editorial in Central MctUmlist, Catlettsburg, Ivy., was written by Zeplmniuh Meek, l>. I)., editor: "Unless about ten thousand men, mainly pro fessional men, lawyers, doctors, editors, preach ers, and all other classes, including the writer, are very much mistaken, the Elcctropoise ef fects cures and gives relief where all other known remedies have failed. Especiallv is it efficacious in the ease of delicate* women and feeble children. I have used one for the past two years, and Hud it invultiublc as a curative agent."
