POLITICAL ITEMS.

The Hon. James NJ Kayauaugh, Dem,
has been reelected delegate to Congress from
the Territory of Montana
TnE Ahanta Netc Era strongly urges that
the expelled negro members of the Georgia
Legislature be restored to their seats.
A WuNIyGroy, n. c., dispatch states that
Eeges, (colored), was elected to the Legisla-
ture on the 9TH inst, by 400 majority.
TnE new Democratic war cry-millious for
party votes; not one cent to pay Off the
national debt.
The Democrats have little to say this year
about the ''Yank Williams p since Packer is
from the sane Yankee State
WHEN Democracy was in power it stole
the nations money; when it was out Of power
it tried to steal the nation life.
ROBERT ROBINSON is the Republican can
date for District-Judge of the With District
Of California, composed Of the counties Of
Sacramento and Yolo.
PACKER $ Joy now is Mutch-Icr, his right
hand man during the campaign. His Joy will
be mach less when the costs are counted a
few weeks hence.
IF Asa Packer is the "poor mans can
didate" because he has $4,000, 900, how
much more does he need to be the ''rich
mans candidate?' ?'
WHES the Democracy discover that the
money y-bags of Packer have failed to corrupt
the majorites OF Pennsylvania, the unfortu.
nate millionaire will become an offense in
their nostrils--a sort of political Asa-fulida.
The SIXTEEN GoYEGxoRs of Pennsylvania
have all been natives Of the Commonwealth.
The opposition now wants us to try a "Con-
necticut carpet bagger." No, thank you
The old Pennsy lvauia stock will do us Just as
we'll. And so say We all!
We have not yet seen complete official re-
ii1rna of sl,o elees;er for Coas,vasa,ss, 81. Viz
giuia but it appears now that Mr.. r. S.
Aver Wells Republican, has been elected in
the lst District, instead Of D. NJ. Norton
(Iud Republican, eolored), as heretofore re-
ported.
A SAN FRANc1sco dispatch Of Aug 6, says:
Efforts are being made to organize a Peo.
pies party in this city, to nominate ticket
for city and county offices. Reform is de-
manded, and it is deemed necessary to take
the offices of the city out of the hands of the
politicians"
That Packer Corruption Fund has a power
ful fascination for all the opposition editors.
They can't think, talk or write about anything
else but money. With money bags for their
candidate, they may be expected to harp
upon that single string as long as the cash
holds ont
Gov. HOFFMAN, of New York, refuses to
surrender pick-p6eket thieves for trial in this
State. Suppose he wants to keep all such
chaps in his State to re. elect him next time.
Like Judge sharswood of our State, he holds
his Office by fraud, and both appear to be
aiders and abettors Of crime.
DURING the war the Hon. C. L. Valland-
gham, the noted rebel from Ohio, was the in
yited guest of Hon, Asa Packer, Democratic
candidate for Governor, at his residence in
Mauch Chunk. Soldiers of the republic, aud
loyal citizens, remember the old adage,
''Show me your company, and I'll tell you
who you are.
QUESTION for young Democrats in Peunsyl-
vania: How did the candidate for Governor
begin life ? As Packer. When did he do
his first packing? When he packed his
carpet bag and packed off from Connecticut
to Pennsylvania. When was his last packing
done? When he packed the Harrisburg
Convention.
WHEN the Democracy at Harrisburg planned
the nomination of the richest man they could
get, they committed two great crimes; First.
The nomination was an open and unblushing
attempt to obtain money under false pretenses
from the nominee Secondly. 1t was an un-
and defiant attempt to buy up
the State and carry an election by the power
of gold.
So MUCH for the iPoor Man Candidate -
Judge Packer has grown immensely rich on
the toll of the poor, and has always made it a
point to purchase that toll at the lowest
figure. So that wealth flowed into his Golfers
it mattered not to him how much of suffering
and priyation was endured by the men in his
employ. Are the toiling millions willing to
vote for such a man to be the Governor of
this Great State
We QUoTE from the little speech of Hon.
Asa Packer at Philadelphia

as you have placed me in the van, to victory,
if possible-and if not, / am certain the de-
feat shall not be attributed 10 lack of ana.

You will excuse me from making speech |
at this tiole, for talking is not a part of my |
vocation. (Applause.) There are those whose |

work Voices, "good, good; that't lchat aee
rant, !" and cheering will leave the talking
for those whose forte It is, and viii endeavor, |
for myself, to do my share of the work
There IS charmingly simple frankness in
these revelations. The candidate is conscious
Of his inability to make set speeches, but how
significantly he pledges himself to another
form Of usefulness! There "shall be no lack
Of anything he can do, y and he means s'to do
bis share" Aud ''thats what we want
