A SHALLOW "DODGE?
next.

The abolition organ in this place endeavors
10 account fer the late overwhelming defeat of
its party by saying that nearly the whole
Democratic vote was poled while that OF the
opposition was s'morp than FIVE hundred short"
Now, as "6gules will not lies" let Us glance
for moment at the arithmetic of our oPPo-
nents. The entire vote poIled for Governor in
this county, at the late election, was 1904 the
entire vote poled for Canal Commissioner, one
wear ago, was 4467. This shows falling off
in the entire rote OF the County of on y 1863 !
Again, compare the vote for President last year,
with that cast for Governor, at the last eIec-
ton. The entire vote in the county for Presi-
dent, was 1890, from which subtract the 1904
above stated as being the vote for Governor,
and there is shown TO be a deficit of only 1856
voters Now, one half, at least, of these 1856
votes, that were absent from the polls, are Dem
ocrats, as can be satisfactorily shown by refer
ence TO the votes ofthe different districts. For
instance, in Cumberland Valley tp., tDenty
Democrats remained at home on election day
in Southampton fourteenth Middle Woodber-
nv Mirteen-in Juniata, Napier and other town
ships where there are heavy Democratic gains,
a considerable number of Democrats did not
turn out. In this Borough, there were seven,
or eight, of our party absent, and indeed we
know of no district in the county, where there
was full Democratic turnout.
How, then, can the Abolitionists "fgure up''
that the Democrats ''cast nearly their entire
vote n the county," and that theirs "is more
than 500 Short" when the official tables show
that the whole vote of the county is only $50
less than the highest ever cast within its present
limits, and that about one half of those $50
votes are Democratic We do not deny the
assertion otthe Aboltionists that their 'vote is
over 500 short" That is true, most assuredly.
Their vote is short about 270 orey 800.
The truth is that a large number OF the voters
whose absence from the polls they so piteously
bemoan, Uere out and roted-but not the Aboli-
ton ticket. They gave their sufrages for VIII
LIAM F. PACKER and the whole Democratic tick.
ct. This is the reason why the opposition are
'sorer 500 short" in the county. Had the
whole Democratic strength been brought tc
bear upon them, they would have been beaten
1000 instead Of TO.
So much for this very shallow dodge of the
Abolitionists. We would advise them to s'head'
in different direction, the next time. There
is stone wall of stubborn facts against which
they must inevitably butt theirIsorr sconces, i
they persist in the course which they at present
pursue in endeavoring to explain away thei
humiliating defeat. Admirers of 'niggers,'
beware of the figures

A Voice from the Head Waters of Salt
River.

The Abolitionists are crying out most dole
fully from their moorings at the sources of
''Old Salt" saying among other things, that
magnificent promises of a railroad, plankroad,
&C., were made by Democrats when advocating
the claims of VIM. P. Schrll for the Senator
ship. Now we call 10 witness every man
who attended the various Democratic meetings
held during the late campaign, and every read
er of the Bedford Gazette, that Mr.. Schell was
never pledged, to the making Of any railroad,
or plankroad,, in this county, or any where
else. We never said that Mr.. Scbell, if elect
ed, could or vould, make such road, or roads :;
we only said that h. would be able TO do more
for Sl'ch enterprises, than any other man in the
district. This was our argument for Mr..
Schell-ths is the promise we made in his be-
half-and for the foflIment of this promise we
stand rpsponsibIs. Mr.. Schell will do all he
can for tlhat railroad" and that is all bis Demo-
cratic friends promised be would do. The Ab-
lition organ in this place is evidently trying to
make little party capital of that railroad busi-
ness but, as its articles are at present written
at the head waters OF Salt River, which region
has beep so long in possession of the opposition,
that lying has become the principal virtue Of

ALFRED B. MCALM0NT, ESQ.

The above named gentleman is spoken OF by
number of Democratic journals in the Western
part OF the State, as suitable person to fill the
office of Attorney General in the Cabinet of
Governor Packer. We have no personal ac-

by reputation as sound lawyer, an eloquent
orator and an unhinching Democrat. The
Pittsburg Post speaks ofhim as follows:
