FROM lS43 to 1913, when Judge Packer
was an officer in the Lehigh Coal and Navi-
cation Company, he demonstrated his love
for workingmen by paying his employees in
the Company scrip at par, and redeeming
1t at forty per cent. discount The poor
men were obliged to submit to this ruinous
shave, as they could buy nothing with the
scrip, and had nothing else to buy with.
Thus Packer profted by their necessities to
the extent of forty cents on every dollar, and
in this way helped to build up his colossal
fortune. We are glad to know that the
present officers and management of this
stanch old company. do business in differ
ent way.-NGuch Chunk Gazette.

The Republicans should remember that
in some respects the coming election is one
OF peculiar Importance, and every vote
should be polled. For instance, in 1871 the
Legislature will have dsvolved upon itself
the duty of apportioning Pennsylvania both
for Congressional and Legislative represen-
tation. Both of thsee apportionments have
not fallen on the same year since 1901, and
will not fall on the same year again until
f941. This consideration is of great politi-
caklmportance, and no Republican is excus-
able.who neglects or refuses to vote the
whole ticket. The result is fraught with
consequences too grave to be frittered away
out of negligence or personal pique.

THE following is from the Elk Gazette
1t gives the status of the Hall and Early
fight:
Democrats, remember that Dr. Early, on
the day of the Democratic County Couven-
ton, having majority of the delegates to
that Convention, and also at the District
Convention at Tionesta, after having re-
ceived the endorsement of large majority
of the Democracy of Elk County, offered
to withdraw his name as a candidate if Mr..
Hall would withdraw his, and let the Con-
vention nominate a new man. Dr. Early
made this proposition to save split in the
party Mr.. Hall refused, and therefore on
him rests the responsibility of the present
dissatisfaction in this district. He is the
disorganizer

The Democracy of the South, including
some of the ablest of the old leaders, have
taken open ground in favor of negro suf-
frage. They do not fear the ballot in the
their right fairly won. 1t is different with
Asa Packer and the Pennsylvania fogies.
They oppose the extension of suffrage to
the small minority of colored men in this
state on the miserable pea of preserving
white supremacy What wretched COW
ards they mast be- to fear that a few niggers,
with fair chance in the race for life, will
get the better of them3 What poor dew

THE Democratic party is having the hard

workingman They claim his suffrage not
withstanding their leader is an aristocratic
millionaire. The laboring classes are asked
to bind themselves to rich and ungenerous

by it. 1t is intimated that after Judge
Packer gets into Office he viii do some i'm
mensely philanthrophic things which Will
forever make the Pennsylvania workingmen
the most comfortable of mortals. This all
sounds well, but when we remember that
any official act of such large employer, Tor

other working man, would take money out
of his pocket, we cannot think he would do
much. For instance, would Judge Packer

The New York Sun thus speaks of Asa
Packer. after commenting upon the inter-
view which its reporter had with the
Judge: "On the great and pregnant ques-
tion of the tariff, finance, negro suffrage, the
fifteenth amendment, reconstruction, ths
eight hour law, aud woman's voting, we
know jus. as little of Judge Packers ideas
as we knew before. The Sun referring to
Judge Packer as prospective candidate for
the Presidency concludes its article thus j:
The American people don: want him
and We fancy the majority against him in
October will not vary much from 10, ,0O0."

THAT Asa Packer, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor. is one of the richest men
in the State--believed to be worth twenty
millions--is known to every voter IN the
State ere this. Now we are free TO admit,
that because he is rich, if his wealth has
been acquired in honorable business 1t
should be no reason why he should not as
pre- to be Governor of his adopted State.
But if that wealth has been wrung from the
toll of the poor laborer or through the
greed or self fshness of private or corporate
monopoly, d further increased by shirking
h honest share of the burdens and taxes
incident to civil government, then we say
his great wealth should be a mil-stone a.
bout his neck to drag him down to political
rerdition and disgrace. And Asa Packer
has all Of these means to thank that he is
now worth his twenty millions

A SILLY story having been circulated by
the Ohio Democratic press that on certain
occasion while in the service General Rose
Grams seized General (then Colonel) Hays
by the collar and threatened to cut off his
shoulder straps, General Rosecrans writes
from San Rafael, California, to friend in
Ohio, denouncing the statement as false
calumny, and adding that he never had oc-
casion for aught but commendation of Gen

Rosecrans states, the Governor had both
his respect and esteem as an officer and a
public man, and still retains them Tru

their nomination, redicules their political
pretentions, and now explodes their SIAN
ders against the Republican candidate.

THE historian of the Pennsylvania Re
serves says of Geary at Gettysburg, where
he commanded the left division oc the
Twelfth corps, that when he opened fire on
the enemy, the rebels responded by furious
charge With fendish yell and mad con-
tempt of death during six full hours, the
enemy hurled his solid masses against the
well defended lines. Nothing during the
war equaled this six hours Of carnage. In
front of Geary's division were more rebel
dead than the number of the entire list of
casualties in the Twelfth corps. While John
w. Geary stood upon this bloody field, de-
tending his native State against the invasion
of relentless foe, where was Asa Packer?

The Democratic journals are singing the
probity of Packer with an unceasing ardor
and unanimity which seem to exclude all
consideration of his other qualities, what
ever they may be- But why should not
Packer be honest? And why should his
integrity be proclaimed with such uneasy
zeal? After a somewhat similar fashion
the people of England have for the past
thirty years been rapturously ringing the
changes OF loyalty over the ''virtue" of their
sovereign, partly because it is the most con-
spicuous meritorious quality that sovereign
mas been provei to possess, and partly be
cause the general deficiency of European
monarchs in this respect enables her to
shine lustrously by contrast. 1t may be
perfectly true that Mr.. Packer is a bright
jewel of purity in the dunghill of Democrat
ic corruption, and it may also be true that
his supporters find their excuse for perpet-
ually putting his uprightness in the fact
that he has no other attribute to recon-
mend him but it will be difficult to convince
sensible voters that a wealthy man repu-
tation for honesty lis OF itself, and unsus-
tanned by other proofs of fitness, sufficient
reason for making him Governor of Penn
syivani a. Tribune.

MECHANICS and laboring men remember
that Packer declined to give direct an
swer to the question "Are you in favor of
the Eight Hour Law?" That law was pass
ed by Republican Congress. and enforced
in all the National Workshops by President
Grant. If Packer had been IN favor of it
he would have said so. As he equivocated,
he must be set down as opposed to it, not
withstanding his profession of friendship for
the workingmen. No laboring man can trust
him. He is the meanest of all aristocrats-a
rich rarvenu He believes that capital should
own labor, and would vote for slavery
