They say GO openly. This and other lies

nsy elect DR.. Cossn.
Leading Democrats here, say that Mr.
Snyder should not be blamed by Demo-
Gratis for the course he is taking, in urg-
ing the election Of Judge Smith, for no
Democrat will vote for him, and two Re.
publican votes given to Judge Smith are
as good as ono Republican vote for
Cowan. They say, "Mr. Snyder is all
right. Hc is hclpip; Covan'
Republicans, don't you see their OBJ
ject' If they can draw off Republican
votes from Mr. McClain to Judge Smith,
they will stand better chance to elect a
Democrat. If you don't want to elect
Cowan, vote for McClain, that is the only
possible way to prevent it.
Remember that the Democrat says,
that no Dcnocra. will trade off his can
didates. That is true. The only uni.
versal principle among Democrats is to
vote the whole ticket. Mr. Snyder has
preached it all his life, and do you be,
lerc he will depart from his faith now
No, never.
Bear in mind their declaration. that
the County patronage is all they care
about. If by any possible means they
can secure it, they will have the Rcpub
licans in their power, and we all know
how they will use that power. To "cgush

Republicans, who have thought Of bolt.

considered how the Republican party can

own mind. and see what the result will
be. Consider ere it be too late.

Change Of Tacttcs,

Two weeks ago, the Democrat in speak
ing Of its candidate for County Judge,
said that he had "moral courage enough
ito ferret out and expose tho frauds and
"britery in connection with the letting
land construction Of tho new Court
"House." Now, every one knows that
Judge Smith was Judge when portion
Of the contracts were let, and the Icon.
struction lhas been wholly under his su.
pcrvision. OF course he is meant TO be
hit by the above quoted insinuations Of
fraud and bribery" No Republican
has ever charged Judge Smith withfr
or bribery; but the Democrats have re.
peatedly. The last Democrat sings diff
ferent tune, in reference to Judge Smith
1t says, at is universally acknowledye d,
"that with the exception Of little
"unncccersary expense on the Cour,
"House,) he has performed the duties Of
"the Office with fidelity aud honor, etc -
Why this change? 1t is not that it likes
Judge Smith any better, nor because it
would be less willing 10 follow up it's
charge of fraud and bribery" as it prom.
ised to do "a week or two ago but because
it hopes to curry favor with Judge Smiths
friends, and thereby defeat Mr.. McClain,
the Republican candidate for Judge. -
The Democrats would as freely kill off
Judge Smith, by using his name, us they
would any one else; that that is their in
ten'ion is plain even to casual observer.
Jude Smith, il not candidate, 50 / e
says; and We have the best of reasons for
believing that his name is used for no
other purpose than to defeat Mr.. McClain.

The Homestead Hill.

The cffrontery of our Democratic
friends in calling the Homestead Bill Il
Democratic measure, is abundantly retut-
ed by the history OF this bill in the last
Congress. Its author was Mr.. GA Grow,
of Pennsylvania, warm Republican, who
fought for it nobly aud per,istently in
the House. Of the 100 votes cast for IT
in the House, how many were cast by the
Democracy? Thirty eight only. OF
the 70 votes against it, how many were
east by Republicans ? just one, by Il
certain Mr. Nichols of Ohio, who was
elected as a Il publican. Seventy-six
Republicans voted Aye sixty Democrats
voted No.
