UNDENIABLE FACTS.

1t is fact, the appropriations made by
Gov. Ritner's federal Legislature of 1885 SO
amounted to SIS, ,46l 1916, which were main
ly provided for by bank bonuses.
1t is fact, that the surplus revenue re-
ceived in 1897, from the national govern
.ment, amounted to 2,867, ,5l4 49,
1t is fact, that the revenues of the state
in 1887, derived from the improvements di-
vidends licenses, taxes. &c. amounted to
$l,736,5l1 50. Taking this as medium
year, it would be fair TO call the yearly re-
venues from the same sources, under Jo-
seph Ritner's administration, $l,500,000
which IN 3 years amounted to- $4,5OO,0O0.
1t is a fact, the appropriations Of the last
SESSION overgo the amount of money in the
treasury, by at least the sum of S4,000,-
600.
1t is fact, that by the addition of these
several items it appears that the expenditures
under the three years of Gov. Ritner's fed
era administration will amount to the enor-
naous sam of $l3, 1928, 800 70.
1t is a fact, that notwithstanding this vast
and unparalleled expenditure, no new rail
roads or canals have been brought into use,
nor has any portion of the state debt been
paid.
1t is fact, that under the six years OF
! Gov. VOLTS democratic administration,
$l7, 100000 of dollars were expended and
about eight hundred miles of rail road
and canals completed, which are now
yielding 81 100000 annual revenue.
1t is fact that the yearly expenditure
! of Joseph Ritner's administration, have tar
exceeded those ofany proceeding Governor,
whilst no commensurate benefit have been
produced.
1t is fact, that the surplus revenue was
received on deposite, and, the state, being
bound to refund the same, that it forms an
addition to the state debt which with bank
bonuses, that must be repaid should the
state resume Gov. Rimer's monopoly
grants, amount to over eight millions, and
swell the state debt to rising of S33,OOO,'
| 600.
All these facts are undeniable and can be
proved by the records the commonwealth
They afford striking commentary upor
the prohigacy and extravaganza Of the fed
eral party whenever they obtain power
and a convincing proof that the cry o
! "Ritnef and reform" is federal HUM
! BUG
Democrats ! Reflect upon these things
and if you would save the state from ruin
eject Governors Stevens, Fem and Rine
from office, and restore the reign Of homes
democracy, by electing David r. PorteI
the son of the revolutionary soldier, ant
the disciple Of Jefferson, Snyder and Jack
son.

Good NeDs.-From every part Of the
State we receive the most cheering intelli-
gence in reference to the coming election
and the prospects of David r. Porter. In
the North, South, East and West the de-
mocracy are awake to their duty. They
are rising in their strength, and preparing
for the conflict, animated by the prospect of
certain victory. The vile and infamous
ISLANDERS sent forth against Mr.. Porter, in
stead of operating to his prejudice, have
brought hundreds into his ranks who for
merly supported Rlner. And some of the
federal prints, aware of this, we now OBJ
serve, are either silent on the subject, or
entirely exclude the offensive article from
their columns. But it won't do gentlemen.
Like the Governcr with his proclamation,
you are to late. The people are acquaint-
ed with your designs Your attemps tc
traduce and villify the reputation of good
man have recoiled upon yourselves, and
would alone cause your inevitable over
threw. We repeat, you are TO late. The
die is cast. Joseph Ritner and his corrupt
administration must sink beneath the frowr
of an indignant people, for they have de-
creed.-Lc,ciSburg Standard.

SH1NpLAsTERs. "A general Joy is felt at
the prospect of being soon rid of this moi
some currency.-Some losses will undoubt-
edly be sustained by fraudulent issues,
though we believe that most OF this curren-
cy will be made good to the holders. Those
who have it in their possession should lis
ten with dstrust to discrediting reports, as
spectators may take this course to buy up
sound issues at deprecated value. We
observe that an attemptis made, amongst
others, to discredit the notes issued by the
Harrisburg, Portsmouth, Mount Joy and
Lancaster rail road company, which is done
without cause. This company is known
to be perfectly solvent, and its Tstock must
soon be equal to any in the state. There
is not the least doubt but all its notes will
be honorably redeemed, and as they bear
an interest of five per cent, those who keep
them while will not be the loosers

Lu2ene Democratic County Meeting.

Luze7ae Democratic County Meeting.
Never have we seen so potent demon
stration of zeal in goed cause, as was ex-
ibted at the Meeting last evening. The
people spoke in their majesty, and the dis
organizers were 1ebuked. We have not
one word to say about their course, other
than that we are sorry to see men lose the
confidence of their former friends, by acts
of indscretion and seliishness. When in
dividuals who have received the counte-
nance and support Of the Democratic party
lose all sense ofgrattude for fayors received,
and abuse that friendship which had warm
ed them into life, they must expect to re-
ceive the just retribution which such con
duct merits. We repeat 1.-THE efforts and
designs of the disorganizers are defeated.
There will be no dissension the people
will do their own business in their own
way and PORTER and DEMOCRACY will
bear the ascendancy in Old Luzerne.

"When man gets his name up, he can
lie in bed late in the morning." is an old
adage, and the editor of the Danville Intelli-
gencer thinks he can profit by,it. We hope
he may. But we can assure him, that ifhe
expects to add to his influence with the de-
mocratic party in this section ofthe county,
or any where else where we are known, by
ungenerously Eve will use no harsher term)
insinuating that we are under the influence
of.Bowman, or of his political friends, he
will be much mistaken in his calculations.
We have been too long in political life, and
have too long battled with federalism and
whiroerv, to be now coaxed or driven into
their ranks, not even by the wings them
selves, muu!i less by profe8Siag democrat
who has aided, in more than one instance,
in securing the election Of an opposition
ticket, by opposing the regular nominations
Of the democratic party. Others may talk
of " easy virtue ,'--sustain antimasonry
with one hand, while they give hypo-
critical support TO the democratic party with
the other-and then boast Of their democ-
racy; but we do not consider it a sine que
non of our faith, that we should support to-
day as a democrat, man whom yesterday
we opposed as federalist-nor do we con-
slider it necessary, that we should publish
all the fulsome resolutions that may be pro-
duced, for the express purpose OF bolster
ing up the cause Of any one man, whether
they are manufactured at Danville, or else
where; and certainly, we do not consider
ourselves under any obligations TO publish
the proceedings of meetings, ,of friend or foe,
held within six miles Of us, the officers Of
i which do not furnish US with copy, but
forward il to an Office some 20 miles dis
tant, and there retained so that we could mo-
publish them under three weeks after the
meeting was held.
We have no disposition TO " exchange
political salutations' with any one profess
ing the same political faith with ourselves
We war not for men, but for principle, anc
the usages and practices of the party. If i
be necessary to sustain them unimpaireC
from the attacks of an open or covert foe
we shall always be found ready to buckle
on the armour Of battle, and repeat the cry

T The ,bathers in the river during the

Equestrianism has become more fash
Ionable than ever amongst the ladies' of
this capital. On als4ost every evening,
(attended by Cavaliers,) they make ex
cursions on horseback around the town,
IN full riding costume, including the new
invented hat, or cap, which makes the
fair wearers look very knowing; others
similarly attended, ride in plain dress
