Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1871-08-30
Evrnv Woan Taur Arro--Recol

EVERY WORD TRUE, ALEC Recent
ly reporter Of the New York Herald
interviewed Col. A. X. Mcclure, a
leader OF the Republican party in this
State, and one of the ablest and
shrewdest politicians in the country
Col. Mcclure is thoroughly familiar
with All the inner workings and ras-
calities of the Radical Ring. He has
himself been Chairman OF the State
Committee, and held other positions
Of responsibility in the Republican
party. We give the following speci.
men Of the interview between the
Herald reporter and Col. Mcclure;
"Could the Democrats carry the city
Of Philadelphia, Colonel 2"
"They have the votes TO do il If they
could only get them counted, but you
see the election machinery is in the
hands of the Republicans and they
can count the Democratic votes or not,
just as they please"
"Do you think the Republicans will
carry the State this fall z"
al doubt IL. There is great deal
of Indifference among the Republicans
in Pennsylvania towards Grant, and
they don't care much how it goes.
Besides, the Democrats will make a
tremendous effort"
From this confession of Mcclure
our readers can judge of the shameful
character of an election which practi-
cally sets at defiance the public will,
by giving the control Of our election
to Radical penitcntiary birds. The
Democrats in the present canvass will
bring this issue fairly before the people.
