conservative Ticket.

The Cecil Democrat and its rebel party
having given their unsteady allies the
husks while they reserved to themselves the
kernel, in the recent nominations for coun
ty officers, drop entirely out of sight the
title Of Democratic, and publishes moth
ing but Conservative over the ticket
Having succeeded in cheating the Conserva
tives out of the nominations, the next point
is to cheat them out of .heir vote, hence
they say, "you take the name and We Il lake
the candidates.
1t is the Indian and the white man over
again.
" You take the bu1zard and I'll take the
turkey; or I'll take the turkey and you take
the buzzard." They never say turkey to
their allies once. The Conservatives are
welcome to all of the name, after the nomi,
nations worth having, are given TO the rebels.
viii the Conservatives still continue TO play
the role of blind mice?

Attempts to Hide their shame.

, The Democrat labors without success to
cover up, and apologize for the Rebel ont
RACES perpetrated in this and other States,
upon defenceless negroes. ga story of
outrages upon negroes and loyal men must
be invented and propagated," says The
Democrat. Unfortunately, the rebels of
this and other States did not permit the Re.
publicsns to invent, if they had been so dis.
posed, any stories of "outrages upon negroes
and loyal men, They have, and are con.
stantly committing outrages, of which there
is abundant proof In the State of Ken
lucky more than five hundred such outrages
are reported from one district within short
time. Radical papers throughout this State
do not invent stories of rebel outrages, as
The Democrat asserts, but the rebels supply
them as plentiful as blackbirds."
The account published in The Whig oil
the breaking the head of an "unoffendine
darkey' seems to have been we'll known to
The Democrat who attempts to sheer at, but
not deny, it. Like all such "stories'' The
democrat and its savages may sheer at, but
cannot deny, them, and that is wherein rests
its shame.

The Gospel and the Senate.

Mr.. W. T. Miller, whose nomination by
the grayback convention of this county, fol
the State Senate, which we mentioned at the
time, and took occasion to point ont his in
eligibility to the Office, on account of his
being Minister or Preacher of the Gospel,
still continues to canvass for votes. The
party assure him, so we are informed, that
if successful, the Legislature, which is judge
of the qualifications Of its own members
will pay no attention to that clause in thcil
Constitution, but will utterly disregard it, as
they have the qualifications for judges Of the
Orphans Court Yet these men, who repu
diatc the Articles of their own Constitution
before the ink is fairly dry, when they inter.
ferc with their desires, are loud in thcil
ciamor about violations of the Constitution

The Pennsylvania Election.

Not the strength of the Coppcrhead party,
but the apathy oft Republican party, was
the cause of the Republican defeat in Ohio
and Pennsylvania. A comparison of the
vote in ten Of the counties of Pennsylvania
with last year, shows not gain, but de.
crease in the Copperhead vote Of less than
1000, while the Republican vote fell off
10000 This is doubtless the way it ran
throughout both States. While the Demo.
Gratis with the patronage Of the Administra,
ton to help them, and by super human CT,
forts, failed to poll full vote, the Republi.
cans with the influence of the Federal Gov.
eminent against them and lamentablc apa,
thy in their own ranks, fell tens of thousands
behind their party strength in those States.
This should serve as warning to our
friends in this county, when the 9th of No.
vcmber arrives, to be found at the polls cast
ing their votes in the cause Of progress and
against rebel supremacy, for every gain, no
matter from what cause, is an encourage.

reporting the proceedings of the Republican

the opportunity slip of indulging its propen

The following for instance:
'The delegations of few districts were FILL bui
many of them were represented only by fragments am
in two cases. we believe single man threw the vote
of the district
On the contrary there were but two o,
three delegates from the whole county absent
and these vacancies were filed by the au
thority vested in the delegation from each
District. In no case did single man throw
the vote of his District, except by the con
sent of the delegates which were all present

Look out for Copperlcad Lies,

The rebel party of this county finding that
the Republicans have pitted the popular DR..
Robert G. Carter against their weak nomi.
nee for County Clerk, have been busily
propagating the falsehood that DR.. Carter
would not accept the nomination. The OBJ
ject of this is>to cast doubt on the Doctor s
Radical principles, among the Republicans,
and by this means cause the party to give
him lukewarm support.
The rebel party may as we'll stop that lie.
The Doctor does accept, and we intend to
make him the next County Clerk. Let
every man in the Republican ranks go to
work and give the ticket hearty support
from now till the day of Election. Remem.

gain it. 1900 votes or more remained un.

General Grant for President.

A correspondent of the Daily Press writes
from Washington thus:
''The effect of the late elections upon
questions of the next Presidency is striking
ly illustrated by the grea. number of pro
nouncements for General Grant which are
being received here every day. From all
sections Republicans are writing urging q
concentration on General Grant, and what
is quite remarkable, the sentiment in this
direction from New England is most demon.
strative. A leading isadical member of
Congress from Massachusetts, strong ad,
vocate Of impeachment, to-day announced
himself in favor of General Grant for the
Presidency, and said he was ready to put
the most entire faith in him.
The Republican party throughout the
country are coming oat in favor of Grant
for President, and other conventions are
following the example Of the Republican
State Convention of Maryland, recommend.
ing him for that office. The party is deter.
mined to choose a leader who will fight il
out on the line of Manhood Suffrage, and
are fast reaching the conclusion that that
stubborn leader is Grant.

To Our EXCHANGES. The rascality that
is Systematically practiced by parties who
make use of the press to publish their wares,
calls loudly on the country press to combine
in exposing all such swinders. We hope
that every paper that is hereafter victimized

New York, will make it a point to expose
them at once.
We begin with the Firm of DR.. j. Stephens

advise our friends to demand the pay ofthat

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING AGENCY We
do not like to make what might he termed
nvidious distinctions, where all appear to
strive to do their best, but we must award
to Mr.. James Gallincr, 1873 North Fifth
street, Philadelphia, as an Advertising Agent,
the palm. The advertisements we receive
from him arc all OF u first class order, and
pay such rcmuncrative prices as encourage
the printer to take pride in setting them
with all the taste he is master of, and keep
ing them always in conspicuous positions.
And then Mr.. Gallner does not wait to be
called upon with bills, but forwards the
money promptly, generally before the time
has expired. If all Advertising Agents
conducted the business in the manner that
Mr.. Galliner does, county publishers would
seek all city orders for advertising through
agents, and thus escape the sharks which SO
numerically prey upon them.
