the indelicacy OF his position.
Signs Show.
One of the Democratic nominees fol
Assembly, in Allegheny county, is stump
ing it for Curtin.
Blair county gave Curtin 7S9 in 1850
and now promises goo.
Riddle Roberts and c. II. Shriner, two
of the Democratic speakers in Lewisbur!
in 1860, are now laboring for Curtin.
In 1860, Curtin had ) maj. in Selins
grove, and will now have say IS.
VIM. T.. Lehman, the only Democratic
Congressman from Philad. in 1860, is out
for Curtin, with ForneypBrewster, Brown
and thousands of men who voted for
Foster
! Sunbury gave l maj. against Curtin in
! 1860. 1t will now give him l5O to 200
maj.
Even "Bickhard's dogs" master, who
"barked" for Foster in 1860, is now said
to be "loud-mouthcd" for all the Union
candidates, ''double skulls" included.
Capt. Harry Foster has accepted the
Union nomination for Assembly in Centre
county, entirely unexpected as it was, and
375 men of the county at once endorsed
him, and by publication signed by their
own hands urge his election as a support
er of the State and National Administra-
tions Most of these soldiers call them
selves Union Democrats. Copperheads
are awful scarce among them!
Norristown gave 800 maj. for Foster
will now give Curtin 80 to 100 maj
Col VIM. II. Blair-Dem. candidate
for Senate in this district, two years ago
is on the stump for the Union in Cen
ter county, as he has been in the field for
the same cause.
We are informed that Col Fisher
Dem) of the Pa. Reserves, spoke last
week in Chester, in favor of Curtin.
Francis J. Grund, recently editor of
the Philadelphia cage" now a Copper
head paper, will address the Germans Of
Philadelphia upon the duty of supporting
the war, sustaining the Administration,
and voting for the Union State nomina-
tions.
The Bell and Everett men who voted
for Foster in 1860, nearly all support
Curtin in 1868.
We see it stated that Col M'Dowell,
not long since one of the editors of the
Harrisburg "Union," is announced to
speak for Curtin in Beaver county.
In some places, we admit, the absence
of soldiers will reduce the vote for Curtin,
but his aggregate majority is likely to be
increased
CENTER coUNTY-Without asking his
consent, the Unionists have determined to
vote for the brave and tried soldier, Capt.
r. Harry Forster, for Assembly. Upon
that, all the Copperheads denounce Capt.
Forster as an "Abolitionist t."
A Union meeting in Ferguson TIP was
addressed by Prof Wilson, S.M'Williams,
Theo. Weaver and S. S.H.Stover. "Men who
have ever been identified with the Demo-
cratic party, joined the Union League,
and declared their determination to stand
by the Government to the last and give
warm support to the Union candidates"
Cyrus Il. Alexander, the Cop. nominee
for Assembly, was formerly loudest in his
condemnation of secret political societies,
but is now the scribe of a private, wire
working club, designed to operate upon
such as they thought so ignorant or half
witted that they could be twisted. They
have sent out circulars, which have been
exposed. We make one extract:
"The Oldest, most reliable Democrats,
after due reflection, have concluded that
the operations of this committee, and even
its existence, should be private, as its good
effects would be entirely ncutralized If
parties upon whom they are intended to
operate have knowledge of its members,
and of the objects with which they are
approached"
These sneaking K-G.C.'s are trying to
do in the North, just what has been done
in the South
Center county has sent our more volun-
tcers, in proportion to population, than any
other county in our state-and four ffths
of them are Republicans. Their absence
makes the Cops boastful Of a big majority
in Old Center: but the Republicans and
Union Democrats are TRYING to carry 1t.
m-In 1912, Penn'a soldiers voted, in
New York State, to re-elect Madison
Oem.) In the Mexican war, they voted
in Mexico, to elect Skunk (Dem.) But
in this war, begun by Southern Democrats,
