a Radical Dilemma.

AFTER three years experiment on re-
constructing the Southern States, the
Radicals begin to reap the fruits Of their
policy. In Alabama, the Constitution
framed by its negroes was defeated by
the majority Of the registered voters re-
naming at home on the day of election.
To remedy this untoward resultin 9TH
er States, it is intended to amend the
thrice amended reconstruction laws pla-
cling tho power in the hands of the ac-
tual voters. Anticipating this, the Ar
kansas voters defeated the Constitution
sought to be forced upon them by turn'
lag out and rotihg IL dorm. 1t will thus
be seen that the scheme to manipulate
those States for Gen. Grants election
has failed-the Congressional policy
has failed, and the only true policy o
reconstruction is that inaugurated by
President Lincoln and adopted by Pres
ident johnson.

The Alabama Constitution.

THIS product Of African genius for
several weeks has occupied large
share Of public attention. Though de-
feated by the people, every Radical
journal from the Tribune down to the
smallest SxlO sheet, have gone into &C.
stacies over its perlcctions, and have
insisted that it should be considered as
adopted in open violation of the law
under which it was framed. Even
Thad. Stevens, acting as he boastfuIly
declares ''outside of the Constitution"
could not swallow this dose. BY refer
ence to the recent proceedings in Con-
gress we find the following:
"Mr. Stevens tRep.) Of Pennsylvania
sitting at the Clerks desk, said: Mr..
Speaker, after full examination of the
returns from Alabama lam Satisfedthdt
To force q rOte on this bill and ddnH the
STATE against our ocH lar, Whde there is
deficiency az tWeniy Odd thousand
aga dinSt il, icOUid not be doing such jus
tice in legislation as iCotHd be expected By
the pcopie. That being the case move
that the bill be recommitted. The mo
tiOn was adopted"

Glorious Victory iu Bloom Town.
ship,

Tur Democratic and Conservative
citizens of Bloom Township on last Fri
day achieveda signal victory over the
Radical ticket, carrying everything ex-
cept the Constables. and clecting the
Judge Of election by 81 majority, IA gain
OF Al over last falls majority. Not
withstanding the inclenent weather 1856
votes were polled.
There was, however, a feature in the
contest which our duty as journalist
compels us to notice, and which we trust
will put our readers on their guard
against similar attempts in the future.
As explained last week, a regularly
called meeting of Democratic citizens
formed ticket to which at the time
there was not dissenting vote. Later
in the evening, however, Messrs. Jaco-
by, Billmeyer, Coleman, and a few
other men prominent in the bolto 1866
from the regular nomination, met at the
Office of Barkley & keller, and resolved
not TO sustain the ticket as formed, but
substituted the name of a. j. Evans for
School Director, in place Of VIM. Pea
cock, on the ground that the latter was
q Johnson supporter, although they had
placed on the ticket for supervisor 81
man no sounder in the faith. The re-
suit ofths fresh bolt Is soon told their
ticket got 81 votes while theregular one
got 2ll, thus defeating both Radicals
ami boilers. 1t is proper to add that
many men who have heretofore acte d
with that faction, went with us heart
and soul. The Radicals only nomina-
ted two candidates Ter Supe rvisor, il
being arranged iu their caucus to sup
port Billmeyer as third.
These are all the facts in the case
well known to all our citizens, and nc
Misrepresentation or squirming Car
soften their force. 1t IL fully demon
strated that we have now, as in 1866, 6
faction in our midst who would prefer
the triumph of the Radical nominees tc
our own, and who constantly bargain
with them for votes.

STANDARDIZATION.
The business of Democratic Conven-
tions isnot to endorse men, but to adopt
principles and to select candidates. Be
sides the editor of the Republican, and
other "bread and butter" Sheets, en-
dorscd him so fully after his rupture
with Congress, that no further endorse
mcnt is needed.
If, however, our neighbor will read
the Resolutions adopted, lie will dis
cover that the Convention did endorse
the course Of Andrew johnson in en-
deavoring to restore civil rule South
and that in resisting the usurpations o.
Congress he was simply complying
with that portion Of his oath of offic,
which required him to preserve, pro
tect and defend the Constitution of tn,

CORRY O'LANUs ON THE SITUATION.
In his Washington correspondence
to the Brooklyn E'agie, this distingu-
ished patriot thus sums up the grounds
of impeachment:
Andy johnson is to be impeached on
the following charges For being Andy
johnson. For aggravating Congress by
referring to an obsolete document,
known as the Constitution of the United
States. For insisting that the Union
has not been dissolved. For asserting
that Il white man is as good rs Il colored
man. For maintaining that the Presi-
dent has II right to exercise powers
conferred upon the Office by the alor0-
said Constitution. Because Alabama
didn't swallow the black draught OF the
Radical constitution. For violating
the law against cruelty to animals, in
trying to kick II dirty dog out OF the
| War Office.

The Buckshot War.
EI'MDEI, ..


IN the canvass of 1888, David II. Por-
ter and Joseph Ritner were the oppo-
sing candidates for Governor, with Rit-
ner at the time holding the Office. The
contest was exciting. The admins
ton did not have majority In its IA
vor, but 1t made use Of the public
works, bribery and intim ida,ion to se-
cure that at the pending election. Jo-
seph Ritner was Governor, William B.
Reed was the Attorney-General, rhos.
II. Burrows was Secretary of the Com
monwealth, and Chairman Of the State
Central Committee, Charles B. Penrose
Speaker of the Senate, TheOphelus
Fem editor of the Harrisburg ChrOni-
eie, and Thaddcus Stevens, member
from Ad ms county, and Canal Com
missioner.
1t must be confessed that the chances
were against the Democrats, but honest
and earnest labor brought success, and
David r. Porter was elected by about
5000 majority.
AS soon as the result was known, the
radical plottings began. On the 18th of
October, 1888, Burrows, the Secretary
and Chairman, published in the Har-
risburg Chroaicie, an address "To the
friends of Joseph Ritner," in which he
said, "LET US TREAT THE ELEC-
"TlON OF THE NINTH INST, AS
"IF WE HAD NOT BEEN DEFEA-
"TED, AND IN THAT ATTITUDE
abide THE RESULT" False and
fraudulent returns from the county Of
Philadelphia had been made out and
sent to Harrisburg, to Burrows, previ-
Ously to the issuing of the above mani
festo; and meetings of Stevens, Spack-
man, Cunningham, Zeilin, Rutherford
and other old Federal anti-masonic pol
iticans, had been several times held.
Stevens had been exceedingly busy.
Members who could not be seen were
written to, urged to come TO Harrisburg
several days before the meeting Of the
Legislature, and informed that ''we
shall have a turbulent time at the open
ing of the House, but we must be de,
termined not to give an inch" Fem
had published in his newspaper, ther
the Stevens and Ritner organ, thai
their members from the county of Phil
adelphia will have their seats, peacea
bly, if possible, but forcibly if other
wise;" and thus days before the meet
ing Of the Legislature, plans were lait
for thwarting the will of the people
and setting up revolutionary govern
ment.
The Legislature met on the ith OF DE
cember 1888, and Stevens and Rather
ford had "A Gettysburg railroad engiuee
and lot of hands from the Wisconisco
feeder, called "Ialifax bullies," t
whom he was distributing money in tn
hall Of the House, to assist in the tur
bulence he had been for months prepa
ring. Nearly hundred of these "bul
lies" were in the House at the openin
session.
James II. Skunk had been the Cler
of the last House, and as such, was en-
titled to preside, and put all motion
until the election of Speaker. Steven
however undertook to usurp that Az
thority, moved the election Of Speak
sr, put the vote, declared Il carried, an
proceeded to designate as tellers crei
lures OF his own, and voted for Spea
ker after this very irregular fashion.
