Democratic Logic.

The Freeman is unhappy over our
working-up of the Democratic coffee-color
ed acknowledgements fraud in Centre
county 1t does not dare deny the fact of
the fraud and corruption charged, but,
"ioll Ule.ro.otorietio disingenuousness, socks
to destroy the effect of that charge through
resort to system of bastard logic peculiar
to the Democratic party. Thus, 1t quotes
the murdered Casey's estimony-murder-
cred solely because he gave this testimony
that ne could neither read nor write
coupled with his statement that he ''voted
Democratic" and then asks chow man
who can neither read nor write knew
whether he voted a Democratic ticket or
not ~ We answer that he knea0 that he
voted Democratic because he knew the
entire management of the coffee-colored
scheme, from VIM. A Wallace down to
Father Tracy and O'Meara, to be Demo-
Gratis, determined at all hazards to carry
Center county in the interest Of that party
and because he knew those who supplied
him with forged naturalization paper
and ballot to be staunch Democrats
Then again, the Freeman asserts chat
Mark Leddy, one of the agents concerned
in the execution of the frauds spoken of,
is now "a leading Radical" We under
stand that Mr. Leddy, no doubt for good
and sufficient reasons, is no longer warm
personal friend of the political firm Of
VIM. a. Wallace & Co. but that he is {
leading Radical" or Radical at all
; we do not know ''If Leddy was a Radi
cal when Casey voted" says the freeman
s'the vote of Casey was Radical" Jus
: so. Exactly. But unfortunately for tn
: Freemo1's logic, Lcddy was not Radica

) most efficiently with and for the Demo
y cratic party in Center county, as pcrusa

IS ways and forsaken the companionship

can State ticket by nearly $4,000 majori-
ty, Republicans generally regarded the
result as a favorable Indication that the
popular voice was coming over to our side
Because Maine gave that majority for us,
we did have stronger hope that Pennsyl-
vania would also go for US. Welost the
State by 2,275 votes. But note the diff
ference between then and now. Maine
then gave US nearly $4,000 majority, and
therefore we had stronger hope of carrying
Pennsylvania. Maine now gives as 20,-
900 majority, and therefore the Democrats
hope to carry Pennsylvania
Not to be behind anybody else in fer
tility of Imagination, Wm. A. Wallace,
chairman of the Democratic Executive
Committee of this State, appears in an ad-
dress to his fellow Democrats, congratula-
ting them on the glorious achievements in
Maine. By resort to the Merry-An-
drew, alias Democratic, arithmetic, he
makes the result in Maine foreshadow a
Democratic majority in this State of over
$4,000 Rut conscious that his figures
had served him too well, he no sooner
states their result than he also rejects il
as too absurd for belief The truth is that

The SCHOOL Board contest.

The School Board Contest.
The result of Mondays election
must be peculiarly soothing to the
schcmers who put themselves TO so
much trouble for the purpose of
defeating JOHN D. MARTIN, Esq,
the regular Republican nominee
for member of the City School
Board, by bringing out what was
called an independent candidate in
the person of DR.. D. N. KINsMAN.
.Imitationsof both the regular tick.
cts were industriously distributed
on the day of election, with the Dr's
name inserted in the place Of that
of Mr.. MARTIN, which ruso doubt
less secured for the DR.. the larger
portion of tho votes ho received
1t is honorable to the majority Of
both parties that thoy declined be.
ing either scduced or cheated into
Iarepudiation of the praiseworthy
custom which has prevailed for
years, OF each party placing upon
its ticket the regular nominee Of
tho other, in addition to its own,
for member of the School Board
thus always politically balancing
that body and so banishing politi'
cal bias from its action.
