Bedford inquirer. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1857-1884, 1868-08-07

offer the following plan- copied from the &c"
York Tribune which we think very good
one. Let our friends act upon il:
''Let any voter who thinks it high time 70
move in the matter write off these words;
FoR GRANT AND CoLFAx.
We invite our fellow. citizens of--town'
ship who desire the election Of Grant aud
Collax to unite with US in forming a
Grant Club ut , on - day, - inst', at
-p. m.
Here follow the signatures.
Hang this call up a. the post office, 10 lhe
store Of some Republican merchant, or IN
some other public place where it will not be
subject to defaeemeut, and let all sign 1t who
will.
At the time designated in the call-which
may well be Saturday eveuing-try to have
as many present as possible, no matter wbe'h-
er they have or have not signed the call Let
one of the most substantial and respected ctl'
zens be called to the chair, and let younger
man be made secretary Of the meeting Let
those present then resolve that the club shan
be formed, and proceed thereupon to elect for
it President, two Vice Presidents, and two
Secretaries, who shall agree between them
selves which Of them shall surely be present
at each meeting alternately, so as to be certain
that at least one will be in attendance al
every meeting. If the President should be
absent, call one Of the Vice Presidents 10 the
chair. Choose no man for any Office who is
not deservedly respected and trusted; but try
to select lire men, who are at once active and
popular. An active mereh ant or doctor tor
President, with two farmers or mechanics for
Vice Presidents, and two young clerks,
iourneymen, or farmers sous for Secretaries,
will often be found good working force.
We cannot consider any constitution or 5y-
laws necessary; and we believe they of her
make trouble than prevent it. If you thilk
appoint committee to report
them; but we predict that you will find them
more plague than profit. At your seeoad
meeting, make an Executive or Working
Committee. and you may as well at your fist
meeting appoint Committee to report the
names Of proper persons to constitute this
Committee. It should be composed Of one
member from each school district, with one or
two extra in the central or most populous DIS
trict; and it should be composed Of men wac
iCiH each report to said Execlttire Committee
the name and bearings Of erery UOter Ia his
district, also of every one entitled 10 be law
fully made voter, within three weeks from
the date Of his appointment. He should also
be ready to report the names of all to trhom
ii Is desirable that papers and documents
should be sent.
10 may or MAY not be advisable to let Others
beside the Eree,ttice Committee see this list Of
Uoters, Nth their politics; bit they should hare
it at all ereats, and hare H soon. II is the
basis Of all efficient ,cork. By-andby, when
the weather has become cooler and the
farmers work is not so hurrying, it may be
well to hold public meetings and invite
speakers to address you. We judge that
about one-third of the stumpers Of either
party do their cause more good than harm.
But do not let your organization degenerate
into a spouting club but hold regular
meetings tor earnest and efficient WORK.
COMING OyER.-A gentleman writing from
the interior of New York says: 81 find here
a number of old Democrats going for Grant,
though they voted for Mcclellan in 1864.
Seymour does not please the people here, and
Blair is still worse" Such is the case al.
most everywhere. Even here in Bedford aud
throughout the county, the Union ranks are
being almost daily augmented by accessions Of
honest men from the demoralized remnant Of
the once powerful Democratic party. Hur-

WASN'T THEEE.-Quantrell, the man who,
during the war, headed the band Of cut throats
who massacred the peacefu citizens of Law
renee, was NOT in the New York Demo
cratic Convention. We make this statement
in order to correct the idea that all the que,
rillas and murderers Of the South we're there
because Forrest and Hampton were. Quan.
trell is dead, We believe, aud consequently
could not be delegate. If alive be would
support Seymour.
