A CHA .NGE.

The names of the candil ates at the
head of this column indicates that since
the last issue of the paper, the paper
and all belonging to it has changed
hands, and from now forward it will be
used in the interest Of the Republican
party. The change has been made so
suddenly that it was impossible in this
issue to make both sides alike in tone,
therefore the outside bears the impress
OF the defeated party, and the inside, so
lar as the matter for the present issue is
concerned. advocates, as far as we are
able 20 have it under the circumstanc.
os, the cause Of the party which is work.
ing for the election of Grant and COlfax,
and the triumph of the Union Repub-
Gcan party. The Office has passed into
the hands Of an association of gentlemen
Sho have laborcd to secure the triumph
Of Republican principle and the election
of Grant Il COllax, and who regret Tor
the sake of the cause that an organ Of
the party in this county could not have
beon established at an earlier period in
the campaign, but as it is never too late
10 do good, we hope that by commencing
now, we may 40 good hereafter.
Mr.. Moore, as will be seen by the ar
ticlc above, has no further interest in,
or connection with the paper, and
rctircs from it at this time. The future
management of the paper, we can as
sure the public, will be committed to
able and competent hands, and it will
lie the aim of those conducting it, to
snakc it a good county paper, and one
worthy of the patronage and support of
people Of this county, and all having in-
teres:s here.

WEDNESDAY,
October 21St, -: :: 1868.
roR PRESIDENT IN 1869,
GEN. u. S. GRANT.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
HON. SCHUYLER CCLFAX
TtLLDICTOR

Circumstances over which we had no
control have led us TO dispose Of our in.
terest in the ELK ADVOCATE to the
Radical party Of Elk county.
While there was but one journal in
Elk county, we should not have sold to
the party mentioned under any consid-
Grafton. But the recent establishment
of another paper in St. Mary's Of our
political belief, has led us to the co1clu.
sion that two Democratic papers would
not pay in Elk county, and that one or
the other must 20 down, and to save
ourself from possible financial ruin, we
have sold out.
Some two months ago a party can't
to us, and offered to buy the establish.
mcnt, and run it as a Democratic paper,
we were willing to sell, and closed a
written agreement for certain price.
When the day for concluding the bar
gain arrived said party wished us to take
a sum less than we agreed and threaten,
ed to start paper in St. Mary's unless
we acccded. This we could not do.
We have no fault to find with the
Democracy Tor not supporting us prop
crly. We feel confident we have met
with as much as we deserved from them.
But our dcservings would not r.cet our
expenses
Although we have sold our paper, We
have not by any means sold our princi-
pies. They are still as they always
have been, and ever will be, Democrat
ic at all times and under all circumftan-
ces. JOHN +. MOORE.

THE END OF THE CAMPAIGN -
Tuesday the Sd of November closes the
Presidential Campaign for 1868. 1t has
been short and brilliant, and the elec-
tions in five of the States on the 18th Of
this month indicate clearly that it
has been decisive, and no one can be SO
blind as not to see that it must result, by a
large majority, both in the popular and
electoral vote in the election of Grant
4 Colfax.
TO insure this let every Republican
voter be at his post Of duty on the Sd
of November, let no consideration in
duee him to be absent, our duty is not,
and cannot be accomplished until every
vote in every election district, " hich be-
longs to the Republican candidates is
polled, and then, and not till then, can
we say, we have done our duty.
The Democracy are demoralized-a
change Of candidates in the heat of the
conflict is demanded by some of their
leading organs, victory over them is
complete, and We can accept nothing
but UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.
The victory must and will be as
full and complete as APPROXIMATION,
tie last blow must be given to the re-
bclllon, the victory won by bullets must
be affirmed by ballots
All along the line, then boys, the
word has gone. Don't misunderstand
it. It's meaning is clear, orally OIL the
centre"
The Elk advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Elk Co., Pa.) 186?-1868, 1868-10-21

Bsay-A pretty sharp piece oc female
practice was perpetrated in Pittsburgh
the other day which goes to show that
the adroit swinGlers are not all confined
to the male persuasion. a few days
since, young woman of rather prcpos-
sessing appearance, called at the house
of lady in the city, and asked to see
another lady who was stopping at the
house. The visitor was requested to be
seated in the parlor, and the lady was
soon aiterward sent into the room. The
strange lady introduced herself as a Sis
ter OF a gentleman who was paying his
addresses to Miss G. After conversing
for while the stranger informed Miss.
G. Of the object of her visit, which was
to procure the loan OF her gold watch
and chain to wear to party that even
ing. The watch and chain were
promptly loaned to the new found friend
and she departed. When Miss G. next
saw her lover, she related to him the
meeting of herself and his sister, bu
was surprised to find that he had NJ
sister, aaG that she had been made the
victim Of an imposter, swindler ant
a thief. All efforts towards apprchend
ing the thiei have, Of course been una
vailing,

The October Elections, like those re.
Gently held in Vermont, Maine and

Pennsylvania gives 10000 majority,
Ohio $4,000, Indiana 1900 majority,

which States were claimed by the De-
mocracy for Seymour, and without
which they admitted by their figures
Seymour could not be elected.
The contest, as far as the Democracy
is concerned, is virtually ended, but
Republicans must not relax their efforts
to secure universal majorities in every
locality. Let us see to it that every vo.

nA.The season of long evenings has
arrived, and with it, to many, an oppor-
tunity of improving their minds, and
extending the bounds of their knOwl-
edge by reading and study, which no

Young men, especially, should embrace
this opportunity for self cultivation, and
devote the hours which the long nights
place at their disposal, to the acquisi>

the change that has been made in it.
10 such we say that by returning the
present issue to us, their names will be
stricken from the subscription list. We
hope all our Republican friends, both in
the county and out of it, will subscribe
Tor the paper, get their friends to do the

CONGRESS FOR THE 18TH DISTRICT

CONGRESS FOR THE 10TH DIsTRICT.
Again this district has honored itself
hy the election, by the old fashioned
rnajority to Congress, of the Hon. G..
w. Scofeld. The Democracy ran their
best man against him. The storm Of
1868 was bad one for the Democracy to
ls out in, and Judge Brown can console
nj nself with the reflection that he is
u t the only man in Warren county
upon whom the storm descended.
