Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1868-10-22

The Official returns viii show that
The Democrats have lost the State by
lcss than ten thousand votes. Evcry
election steadily and surely reduces
the great Radical maioritics Of 1866
o. and previous years. Let there be
no such word as rAiL with Democrats
We gave the enemy good fight In
October, and we viii overthrow them
in November, if we rally our voters TO
the polls
Their colonizcd voters must return
home, in order TO save their own
States, and cannot return. Their
money, which they so lavishly spent,
cannot be replaced. Their rejection
of thousands OF our naturalized citizens
at the polls, dare not be repeated.
1t was our misfortune in the late
contest to have unpopular candidates
upon our local tickets in a number Of
counties, in consequence Of which a
large number of our voters remained
away from the polls, while others vo-
ted against them. This state Of facts
prevailed largely in Lycoming, Nor
thumb berland and other Democratic
counties. Hence we were weakened
in those counties; and in the Radical
counties, patronage and power in the
hands Of local candidates, gave us no
sl.a.aa s..haia-ar Tlis state Of thin@a
is now changed All local candidates
are out Of the way. The Radical
Congressional candidates and foreign
stumpers are out Of the Tay, too.
! These two elements, with their green
backs" are what we had to fight in
October. All these have, TO a great
extent, withdrawn from the contest,
because they had but little else to gain.
Not so with Democrats. They are
not laboring for office. Their ener-
gies and aims are prompted by higher
motives. They are laboriug for the
restoration and salvation Of this Union.
Therefore, let us, in this hour Of our
adversely and defeat, show TO the
world the patriotic quality Of our par
ty, and to the enemies of the Union
that we have energy, reouporative
power, and faith enough in our prin-
ciples to yet overcome all our foes, Of
every race, color, sex, or persuasion.
Democrats, 60 to work. Next to
your soul, labor to save your country.
Make a vigorous effort to bring our
voters 10 the polls. Let every Demo
crat constitute himself into a commit
tee of one, and work in bis neighbor-
hood from now until the election, and
Pennsylvania will cast her vote for
Seymour and Blair on the Sd OF No
vember. We have only been cheated,
not defeated; +; and our friends will see
that we are not cheated again. The
three thousand naturalized voters
who were cheated out of their votes
in Philadelphia, are sure Of getting
their ballots into the box next Novem-
ber; while the two thousand doll"
colonists from New Jersey, must go
home to save their own ticket in that
State, as well as those along the New
York border Let there be no such
word as iaii, ana victory wan crOwn
our efforts.

We are tree 70 admit that the retnh
on the "a Tuesday Of octohcr was not
what we hoped II would be but We
are not the lcas, Discouraged, because
We are for the righl--for q Union Of
thirty.eevcn free, Independent, and
happy States, controlled by white
men. and for whitc men aud their
posterity forever Our estimate for
the county was based upon a vote as
follows; Democrat, S,l0O; Radical
1850; Democratic majority, 1850.
The vote in Beccaria, Brady, Burn
side, Clearfeld, Decatur, Knox, Morris
and New Washington, is a fraction
over our estimate, especially in Deea-
tur; while the other districts did not
come up TO our expectations. The
aggregate vote polled in the county is
500 greater than ever before, and on
Congressman was 4,956-for Brown
3 .066, for Scofeld l,S9O-making the
majority for Mr.. Brown l,l76. The
list of voters shows the remarkable
fact that over one hundred and ffty
voters failed TO cast their ballots for
the State ticket, three.fourths ofwhom
we doubt not were Democrats. We
are informed that in Lawrence town
ship ten failed to vote the State ticket,
eight Of whom were Democrats. 1t

the polls, yet but 1886 (the highest)
ballots are counted out of the boxes.
Democrats of Clearfeld you done
nobly, but you can go three hundred
and fifty better on the lst Tuesday OF
November You literally overcame
the world, the flesh and the devil, on
the 18th instant. The Radicals were
determined to reduce our majority TO
1000, and to this end had employed
bonds, "greenbacks," National and
State patronage, and every other cor
rupt influence, to seduce and cajole
the innocent voter; yet, withal, we
have increased our majority 40 votes
over the exciting contest for Govern
or in 1866. Go TO work. Let no one
become discouraged in doing right.
Voter, go TO the election yourself, and
see that your neighbor goes too, and
that he votes the Democratic ticket.
We see nothing to discourage us at
the present time. The battle we fought
in October, 1864, was as hotly contes-
ted as the present one, yet when No
vember came, Gen. McClellan's vote
was increased 294, while Lincoln's
was but l55 greater-making the to-
tai increase from the October to the
November election 449 votes.
In passing over the county, we met
scores of voters who manifested great
carelessness about the October elec-
tion, but would pledge their honor that
they would turn out on the Sd Of No
vember Let every Democrat look
around him, learn who remained
at home on the 18th, and invite his
neighbor TO 20 with him in November.

EIecffOn iu PhiIadeIphia.

Our capital city, which has been SC
long in the hands of the political Goths
and Yandals, has declared the second
time Tor an UNDIVIDED Union. IL Is
truo, the majority for Boyle, for Aud.
itor General, is only l75, but for Mayor
Fox has 1888, and for District At.
torney, Sheppard has l,275. The
Democrats carried every officer, but
the Radical Return Judges kept throw
ing out the votes Of Democratic pre-
cincts until they elected one of the
Judges of the District Court by 25
votes, and reduced all our candidates
majority to about as above stated.
The election of a Democratic Mayor
will throw eleUen hundred Radical po-
licemen out of office, who will be
superseded by "Union Savers unless
the Legislature, as we expect it will,
when it meets, takes the appointment
of policemen from the Mayor.
The election OF aDemocraticM Mayor,
District Attorney, Receiver Of Taxes,
City Comptroller, City Solicitor, City
Commissioner, Prothonotary, ore Dis
triet Judge, and a gain of two Con-
gressmen, in Philadelphia, at this time,
is Il glorious success. Last year the
Democrats elected the Sheriff, Com
missioner, Register, Recorder, and
Clerk of the Quarter Sessions. The
old State House is therefore cleaned
out.

DEpocRAr1o STATE COMMITTEE RooSs,
Philadelphia, Oct 10, lsos
To the Democracy Of Pennsylvania
You have fought a good fight.
You have polled a larger vote thar
ever before; have reduced the Radica
majority of 1866 by nearly one-half
and have proven the immortality o
yo1r principles and the vitality o.
your organization.
Radicalism has carried the State by
means Of the grossest outrages; by
openly and corruptly buyingthoasand'
of voters; by driving from the polls
foreign.born citizens regularly natu
rallied many years since; by rejecting
the votes Of thousands who were legal
ly made citizens in the Court Of Ms
Prius; by violating and trampling
upon the seal OF that Court-a recog
nized symbol of the law by deterring
legal voters from approaching the
polls through threatend penalties fol
imaginary offences; aud by the des
potic and unscrupulous use Of power
by election officers in Radical Districts
Under the specious charge Of fraud
upon your part, Radicalism has per
petrated the yilest frauds. Thousand:
Of voters have been colonized, pau
pers assessed and voted, repeater'
hired and voted five times in Radiea
precincts, returns Of election altered
and manipulated to suit their own pur
poses, and fraudulent naturalization
papers issued by the ream.
In the contest just closed you have
learned their capacity for violence
- - 49, L--.~ .~-s~I 81,
strength of their organization and
discovered the weak points in your
own.
With the experience thus gained in
the school of adversely, We viii 60
forward TO victory.
The enemy are yet TO be taught
that outrage and fraud, violence and
wrong cannot be perpetrated with
impunity; they have yet to learn that
you are neither dismayed nor demor-
allied, and that in the pursuit of the
right you know no such word as fail
Arouse the people once more for the
conflict Bring to the polls every
Democratic vote. For right and jus
tice give back right and justice. For
outrage and wrong return the full
measure Of swift retribution.
The work to be done is no holiday
sport. 1t is the last battle for the sal.
walton Of the Republic, the preserva-
ton Of the Constitution and the supre-
macy OF your race.
Work and fight as men engaged in
such a cause should work and fght.
BY order Of the Democratic State
Committee,
WILLIAM A. WALLACE,
Chairman.

BoUND OvER.-A large number ol
the Radical Judges aud Inspectors in
Philadelphia have been arrested and
bound over to appear at Court and
answer for maliciously rejecting the
ballots Of Democrats They will OF
course be found guilty, and must bear
the penalty for violating the law.
Here will be rare chance for 'loil''
philanthropists to put their views in
a practical shape by assisting those
they got into trouble.

RETURNED.-Our readers will nc
doubt recolleot that General Georg,
W. Morgan was, two years ago, elect
cd TO Congress from the 18th Ohio
district by 800 majority, but was turn
ed out Of his seat, and that miserable
%oil' scallawag, Delano, put in hi.
place. Gen. Morgan was reelected
on the 18th, by LOCO majority.
Daniel W. Voorhees,, Of Indiana,
who was also turned out Of his seat,
has been returned, while George W
Julian, the celebrated Indiana Aboli.
tionist, who has held seat in Con.
gress ever since 1s49, has been de.
feated.
The great impeacher, Ashley, Of
Ohio, has also been elected to STAY a,
home. Thus one Disunion harlot af
ter another is dropped.

Nor ALL Losr.-Allhough we lost
the State ticket on the 18th, we have
the consolation to know that the city
Of Philadelphia is now in the hands Of
Union men. Besides we have gained
three Congressmen, MOffet, in Phila.
delphia Reading,in Bueks;and Foster,
in Westmoreland, who has shelved the
great "Alligator," and for this alone
we are compelled TO exelaim, in the
classic language Of "Honest John"
himself "Glory to God" Covode
"dre' defeated This is not all
We have also gained two State Sena.
tors-Dunoan, in the Adams and
Franklin District, and Turner, in the
Luzerne District. Three Congressmen
and two Senator's, enough to save the
State from ruin for one year, at least.

The Duty or Ero-y Democrat.

The election which has Just past
does not decide the Presidential ques-
tion. The battle as to that is to be
fought over again on the third of
November. The majority in this
State for the Republicans is a very
small one. The vote polled in this
State is considerably over six hun
dred thousand, while the Republican
majority is less than nine thousand.
Then at the next election IL only re-
quires US TO change two Republican
votes IN ererg hundred, to make diff.
ference Of twelve thousand in the
result, and give Seymour the State by
three thousand majority. In the State
Of Indiana the majority for the Re-
publicans is only about one thousand !;
change there Of one vote in two
hundred will give that State to Sey-
mour. 1t is a very remarkable fact
that the election Of President Of the
United Stetes depends upon less than
sir thousand voters, in Pennsylvania
and Indiana. In this State, we have
only to pick up courage, and we can
carry the State, and save the country
from negro supremacy and military
despotism in the South, and from
bankruptcy in the North Gen. Grants
own paper, the New York Herald,
says the public debt has been increased
in the last year 81, 100000, a debt Of
itself greater than the whole State
debt Of Pennsylvania ever amounted
TO; and this in time Of peace, with
enormous taxation on incomes, and
on articles of food. We can easily
carry Pennsylvania at the Presidential
election for now the Democratic par.
" in the city Of Philadelphia have
been so clated by their late victory
that they can treble their majority.
and then when Perry, Northumber-
land, Lycoming and other counties
we can name, double their majorities,
as they can easily do, the State can
be carried for the Democracy beyond
a doubt 1t only requires every man
TO stand up bravely for his country
and do his duty.-Harrisburq Patriot.

A $500 BASNER.-We observe that
the Democratic State Committee offer
to the county giving in November the
largest percentage ofincrease over its
Democratic vote in October, banner,
with appropriate devices, costing not
less than FIRE hundred dollars. Here
is a good chance TO win a magnificent
banner, and help save the Union at
the same time.
