FELTY's REFORMATION F0RE-

Felty Best last week attempted TO abuse
Col. Wrightthe Democratic candidate for
Congress, charging offences Of years ago.
And YET in Is4s Felty knew nothing against
the character Of Col. Wright. He had then
no word to whisper against Wight's reputa-
ton, and it is only now, since Felty is him.
self candidate, that he has found an in-
ducementto SANDER Col. Wright for being
too much man to enter into any bargain
with SO degraded political hack as the in-
famous Senator of Pledges. Every refec-
ting voter will at once say, if Best knew
aught against the character of Wright in is-
Az, he should have made bis charges then,
and not have left them grow so fiat and stale
that he can find no living witness Of their
truth, but must invoke the spirits of the
dead to bear him testimony. When reckless
outcast, who has prostituied oil semblance of
virtue, trnmps up a state charge, the dis
eliminating public know enough to treat the
accusation with proper contempt.
But perhaps Felty has had spiritual rev.
elation lately which has taught him to regard
as sinful what he in is4s was willing to
consider all fair. Perhaps something like
the Rochester knockings has been pounding
away al Felty's conscience, to awaken a
spark Of sensibility, and that he is only now
raving in the horrid dreams Of his morbid
and feverish mind.
What does he who voted for himself as
Speaker of the Senate, thus pockehng an
additional dollar of the peoples money ev-

We thought that for about a half century at

illustrious predecessor, and has issued his
pledge. He is careful not 10 mention repeal,

The Duty Of Democrats.

1t is the plain duty of every true Demo-
crat, to be steadfast in the support of regu-
lar nominations. BY this means alone, can
he prove the sincerity of his professions I;
for the ascendency of Democratic principles
depends entirely upon the success of the
candidates who are selected to carry them
out. The man who, either from general
laxi.y Of politicaliprinciple, or for every pet
ty cause of dissatisfaction with regular nom-
nations Of his party, suffer himself to be
persuaded into the support of opposition
candidates, is unworthy the name Of DEM
ocrat, and the sooner he renounces il, the
sooner will he come out in his true colors--
These truths have suggested themselves to
our mind, as furnishing an appropriate sub
iect for a few remarks in our Democratic fe /
low.citizens, upon the approaching election.

The Treasury Question.

fELIY BEST ana ms BERWICK echo Scharge
speculation of county funds, but without
being able to point to single item where
the county has suffered in its account The
reply to all this slang is short The Conn
missioners of the county are the sworn guar
dians of the public accounts, and a bold
general charge of fraud IN these accounts,
is wholesals charge Of perjury laid to tpe
Connay commissioners.s Now ene Of tha
Commissioners always has been resident
Of the lower end, and they have thus had a
man who could have detected any unfair
ness. Even at this time, the President of
the Board is resident of Anthony township,
and was this fall candidate for Sheriff In
Montour county. If improper bills had been
presented and passed by the board, Mr.. Lake
could have noticed them, and we believe
Best has never attempted TO impeach the
honesty of MIR. Lake.
Again, one or two of the Auditors have
always been from the lower end, and which
Of them has ever discovered an improper
charge, in the annual supervision of the
public accountss For several years Mr.. M
Cormick was in the board of Auditors, and
he never found any bills unreasonably high.
Last year MIR. Davis Of Limestone, who is to
be the Prothonotary of Mcniour comfy, was
one of the Auditors; and he, under oath,
reported the annual statement Of the county
finances as fair and correct. Would he have
done so il there had been any fraud ;.
But Felty cannot understand how it is
that every man should not be as great a
scoundrel as himself. and hence his sweep
ing denuncia,ions Of every man too honest
to become his tool Having himself fat
tened from the public fund of the county
and state, he only laments now that he has
ye,no public treasury at DanvilIe to plumber.
His term Of office as Senator is over, and he
can no longer vote himself an additional
dollar per day as Speaker. After being for
years an insaliable-leech upon the county
treasury, he had gorged himself with plum
der to the fill, and then fell off to find a
new subject in the State treasury. AS that
chance came to an end, he grew hungry a.
gain, and determined 10 have county irea
sury of his own, where ne could influence
all the Commissioners and all the Auditors
Such does he propose 10 find Montour coun-
~, and hence he stands greedily licking his
dry jaws to find the "good time coming''
which shall enrich L i'm again. II is for this
that be SO desperately clings 10 Montour
county, when hs knows thst he can never
more get an office in old Columbia as il was
before his treachery Remembered it,
Best does not tell the people tha. in 1899
he and his co-plundsrers secured the pas
sage of q law leaving il to the people Of the
county to decide whether there should not
be poor.house erected at Danyille, at the
expense Of the county. He does not tell
how in 1896 and 1887 he tried to get new
public buildings erecred at DanvilIe at the
public expense. These "reminiscences are
unpleasant TO him and he would have them
forgotten. But The people remember them.
