Juniata sentinel. [volume] (Mifflintown, Pa.) 1846-1873, 1867-10-16
THE RESULT IN JUNIATA.


the House and all our County ticket have
bean defeated. In another column the
olIicia. figures will be found. BY them
it will be seen that the result in the coun-
ty was secured by the basest treachery IN
our own party. We warned our party
friends months ago, that there was set of
scurvy Office seekers in our party who il
they failed in getting nominations would
do all in their power to defeat the ticket.
They commenced it boldly and said if they
could not rule the party they wonld try
to ruin 1t. This they cannot DO for even
If their treason should result in the defeat
of part or all of the ticket, it will only
make the party more united and deter
mined. but as certainly viii ruin the au-
thors Of the treason and bring down upon
them the ccnsure and contempt of every
free man who loves his party better than
Personal interest. The contest for nomi-
nation in this county was very warm and
although the choice of the people was
very clear and decided yet few sore
heads bid defiance to The will of the peo-
pie and bidding adieu to the party wen.
over TO the Iocolocos where we hope for
the peace of the party they will remain
The adoption of the Crawford County
System was urged upon by these NAL con-
tents to ride into power, but it was all in
rain. The people never did and never
will trust them in any position, The Re
paJlcan under Allison and Davis was
used to aid the schemes of these disor-
yanizers until its odor became to offensive
to every one, when a pretended sale was
made to a company OF soreheads who like
wolves in sheeps clothing promised to be
true to the party and its principles. This
assurance was loudly offered to the party
but no one trusted them, and the result
has proven that suspicion was correct
While pretending devotion to the party
in the columns Of their paper, they were
all and every one of them secretly, and
even some openly, working to secure the
defea. of the ticket. Mr.. David Wilson
the pretended editor, was as active IN his
secret opposition to the ticket as he was
blatant in his professions OF fidelity to 1t
IN his columns He, only a few days be
fore the election, told a gentleman III
Iewistowa that he and all his friends were
going TO support Wharton and Miller
Tickets with Wharton and Miller oU, and
MIntyre's name On instead Of Col Rob
ison were printed at their Office and Sc
cretly circulated By Davis and Lyons ard
other members Of the firm. a gentle
man found some in the RepuJlicGn Office
On Wednesday before the election hid in
cupboard and took some away with him
Davis followed him but was deceived
By tie assurance that he was all right,
when Davis told him that they were
circulating them quietly all over the coun-
ty ard they did not want the true friends
of the party to know it. Lyons gaze
them to parties in Fayet;e, Walker and
other townships and tiled to assure them
t.ey were the right tickets. They were
given to every uususPecting voter on elce-
ton day where they could be deceived by
this gang of disorSanizers.
Had the fraud not been found cut soon
er it would have been much more serious,
Col. Robson IS only defeated by lew
votes and these men are responsible io'
his defeat and the party will hold then to
a strict account. DIR. Sterrett. who has
been after Office for years and always op-
poses the ticket when he is not nominated,
had the assurance in the face of his rec
ord of service in the Locofeco party in
1862, to ask the party for aominsticn for
Senate. He had fair chance and ouiy
could get four townships on the west-side
of the river and one Delegate from " ak
er. He openly threatened if he was not
nominated he would oppose the ticket
which 60 doubt aided in his rejection by
the people at the delegate elections. He
and Mr. David Wilson and their friends
said, Robson was only brought out by
Patterson to sell out the County to Woods
and Hall, but asserting that if Robson
was nominated they would support him.
When Robson was not sold out but was
nominated, these fellows and their friends
at once set to work to defeat him and ow-
ing to the close vote in the District have
succeeded. sIr. David Wilson is the last
mar who should have complained. lie
was defeated solely because of his noto-
rioue pspopularity and without the effort
