Radicals have been terribly routed.
A CLOSE CALCULATION.


1t was the dodge of the Radical poll
ticians, during the recent campaign, to
blow and brag at the top of their bent,
in order to keep their men up to the
work, They claimed the State by 90
600 majority, offered to bet on $4,000,
and hereabouts they claimed the coun-
ty-John Cessna and others proclaim
ing that they had the vote already
counted, and that Geary would have
80 majority in old Bedford. This kind
of lying made their adherents work
till their nails turned blue, for they
would have spoiled their best linen il
they could only carry the county.
Now, these dupes Of Cessna & Co. can
see how they have been fooled. They
can see, too, how much characterization
published in the Bedford Inquirer OF
October 9th, was worth. Just look at
it. CIymer'5 majorities are set down
as follows: c. Valley %, short 2G;)
Colerain y, short 81; Londonderry
u, Short 2s;) Liberty ), (short I7;'

THE STATE OF SOUTHAMPTON.

"What do you think Of SouLhamp-
ton ~ sDidyou hear FROM Southamp-
TOM" Such were the questions asked
on all sides on the nightof the election.
Yes, we heard from southampton and
we think we'll Of southampton. Last
year il gave Us I3S majority, this year
ISL, gain of 10! Well done, South
ampton, glorious Southampton: The
fact is that Southampton is Il State, Il
little State, all by itself, and it can just
give as much Democratic majority as
it pleases. Whenever the enemy
threaten to carry the county, South
ampton comes to the rescue and routs
them ''horse, footand dragoons.' But
like prudent general, southampton
always keepsaforce in reserve. There
are 30 Democratic votes in Southamp-
ton, and whenever they are needed
they will bepolled. This year there
We're but 239 polled. Had every vote
been out, we would have had 2l2 ma
jority. But southampton is the BAN
ner township, this year, and we say all
honor to the State of Southampton.

Juniata did very well, the small re-
duction Of her majority having been
caused by removals from the township.
Harrison also did nobly, a number of
her voters having been disfranchised
by the Radical board. Colcrain did
eXccllently, having lost many of her
Democrats by death and removal, yet
gaining . on her majority of last year.
Old ST. Clair, also, pulled up strong,
polling more than her quota of the
1900 Democrats in the county. Union
and the two WoGdberries c0ntendcd a.
gaiust great odds, but came out with
handsome gains, whilst Broad Top and

the former gaining large Y over last

West Providence held the enemy gal
lantly at bay. Little Londonderry
came out with colors flying, and ranks

devil IN East Providence, but Cumber-
land Valley fired up and pretty nearly
wiped out the Radical gain of her old
rival. Liberty and Schellsburg lost a

The majority for Col. Filler in this
county is 286 over Richards, and 274
over Weller, bading Clymer Il on
Richards, and % on Weller. This is q
splendid endorsement Of the course
pursued by Col. Filler. 1t is the YER
diet of he people, "Well done, we
stand by you in your manly and mag
unanimous position" Who would not
to-day rather range himself by The side
of this gallant soldier, who fought and
suffered for the Union, and sustain him
as he lifts his voice for reunion and
peace, than to be found alongside Of the
bowling dervishes and canting dema-
gogues who, for the sake of place and
power, appeal to the meancst preiudi-
ces and foulast passions of the human
heart? The right-thinking, true-heart-
ed men Of the Republican" party viii
soon stand where Col. Filler mas taken
position, and then Bedford county will
repudiate, with an overwhelming vote,
the diabolism Of the leaders Of the Rad
ical party.

Hurrah for onr BuIiy Democracy

The electionin this county passed off
very quietly, but an unusually heavy
vote was poIled. The Democrats III
creased their vote from 2567, last year,
to 2S35, being gain Of 2GS. The op-
position increased their vote from 2l3l
lastyear, to 2591, showing, on the whole,
a Democratic gain of l0S. Considering
the tremendous effort made by the en-
emy to carry the county, this result is
most gratifying to the Democracy. It
was the boast Of the Radical leaders in
this borough that they would carry the
county, and they even published ta-
bic furnished by their shreWdcst calcu-
lators which gave them l4S majority.
Of course, much of this was brag, for
the purpose of keeping up the spirits
of their friends in the county, whom
they have so often deceived with false
predictions about carrying the county,
that an extraordinary effort was neces-
sary, this time, to make them swallow
the same old dose over again. 1t is
well known, too, that John Cessna ex-
erted himself to his utmost to defeat
O.E. Shannon, Esq, the Democratic
candidate for PrOthonotary, and to this
end money was made to flow like Wa
ter. At least $4,000 were spent to ac-
complish this object, but the brave and
incorruptible Democracy could be nei-
ther frightened nor bought into a de,
sertion of their candidate. Again, in
every district in which the Radical,
had control Of the election-boards
Democrats were disfranchised on the
ground that they were "dcserters.'
In this way at least l2j Democratic
votes We're lost. Yet, despite all thesC
untoward circumstances, we have in
creased our majority los votes over tha
of last year, elected every man on on
county ticket, and gave the distric
ticket handsome gain over the ma
jOrity for Mr.. Clymer. This result ha
knocked the bottom out Of the hope
of the Radicals Of this county. The,
acknowledge that Bedford county j

They know that we have a reserve vot
of 2j0, that can be polIcd in future, 70
the 'Dcscrtcr'' law will not operat
hereafter and the money Of the Unio
League is pretty nearly spent. l
short, there never was brighter pro,
pect ahead for the Democracy of BED
ford county. With proper work, on
majority can be increased to 800, mex
year, ana when that point Il reache
we shall soon be able to overcome tn
Radical majority in Somerset. Let u.
therefore, take fresh courage, and !;

of that cause which must triumph /

HORRIBLE Indian 0atra%es Discovered
Ransom of the Surviving victims.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 11.-Capt. Barlow,
Of Gen. Sherman's staff, arrived here
yesterday from Fort Dodge, where he

seventeen and the other thirteen years
Old, who had been ransOmed from the
Kiowa Indians. The girls state that
on the 9th of August the kiowas at
tackled their home in Northwestern
Texas, killed, scalped and burned their
father; themselves and mother, and
sister, eight years old, were carried in
to captivity and treated in the cruelest
and most revolving manner. On arri-
wing at the Indian camp, the captives
were knocked about with clubs, and
brutally abused. On hearing their con-
dition, the commanding officer at TT.
Dodge, not having sufficient force to
rescue them, effected their ransom, and
will send them TO their friends in Tex
as, as soon as they recover from their
terrible sutiering3. While in the In
dian camp, the officer sent to arrange
their ransom saw thecaptiVes knocked
down three times and violated.

We have no comment to make up

to our friends, Democrats and Repub-
licans, who favored us with their sup
port. As Geary's majority in the dis
trict is 10, and considering that We
dilhft deliver a euIogy on Booth, we
feel rather proud Of our run" We
feel especially grateful to the people of
Bedford county, and particularly to

endorsement they have given Us. For

HOW TIVE RADICALS ELECTED
THEIR GtDNG8ESS2E IN.

Many of our readers who are not in
the habit Of paying particularattention
to the figures to be found in M election
return will marvel at the Gpp0rcHj en-
dOrsement by the people Of such Con-
gresSmen as O'NeilI, Kelly and Myers;
but a little examination affords aperfect
explanation Of the affair. We stated for
several days previous to the election
that the Radicals were cOl0niZing voters
extensively into the doubtful districts,
and here is the proof of the fact. In 1868
the vote cast III the First Congressional
District was D, ,5Ui on Tuesday last it
was but 1851, showing a decrease of
1923 votes. No candid man will allege
that there is any falling off OF POpula-
ton in that district, and all agree that
the entire vote on both sides was brought
out all over the city. Where then did
! this vote 90 to? Mr.. RandalPs maiOri-
ty on a poll Of less than twenty thOus-
and is 4,6s3, whilst in 1863, in q poll
| three thousand five hundred and four
but 2,43s.
These facts show clearly that large
portion of the vote of the district was
| transferred and that thetransferred vote
was altogether Radical. Letus see what
| became Of it. in 1868 there We're is, Sol
votes cast in the Second congressional
district, and Oh that small poll Mr.. o.
NeilI's party had a majority Of over
/ 1000. On Tuesday last there were Il .iS4
votes given, and in this large poll the
same gentlcman's majority was but 3,
| 32L Two faces are shown in both these
cases first that Randall, with a smaller
vote east, was more largely endorsed
/ than ever before, and that O'Neiil, with
/ a poll over 1, 800 greater, was endorsed
/ by a majority Of 800 less than in 1860
/ The RGdicOi CD5lgre5S, therefore, is not
endorScd IN this ease.
Bullet uslOOk thcThird district. In
/ 1868 the vote poIled was 20, 800; on Tues
/ day iasti was -, ,9Jl. an increase 0f3@2l
In 1860 Mr. Myers party had major
ity Of /, 55S; on Tuesday he was Te-Clec-
ted by a majority OF ,0S5 thus showing
that if there had not been three th0us-
/ and votes cOl0uiZed into his district he
would have been badly beaten, and that
with the colonization his conduct isap-
proved by nearly five hundred less than
he was in 1868. Now let us take the
! Fourth district. In 1865 there We're -, :
22c votes cast in that district; on Iue5-
day there were p, COZ votes polled. IN
1865 Mr.. kelley's party had a majority
of 1858, but on Tuesday the champion
! ofncgro suffrage was reelected by ama-
iority of :, f53. Kelly, therefore, is 0b-
&0kaFcLy coHdenlRcd by the legal vote OF
