The editor of the C!earfeId RepabiicGn.
not content with blaming the present Ma
tional administration with violation of
every law OF the land, went so far, in his
issue OF last week, as to blame President
Grant for the present corrupt manner of
making Democratic nominations in this
county. THIS IS the hugest joke OF the sea-
son. Is George so verdant as to believe
that his readers are possessed of such de-
gree of ignorance as to receive all his silly
"belovings' as truth? If so; the early
education" Of his party friends must have
been sadly neglected, indeed. The idea
Of making THE government" responsible
for the corruptions of the Democratic party
IN C!eayfeld county is preposterous beyond
precedent. 1t won't work, George; try
some other dodge.

PENNSYLVANIA Republican.

The crushing defeat of the Republicans
of New Hampshire in March last was taken
by many superficial observers as the begin
ming of widespread reaction which was to
sweep the Republican party out of existence.
The Democracy, grown weary with long de
ferrcd hopes, and defeated aspirations, hail
ed it as the beginning of the day which was
to elevate them to power and plumber.
Connecticut, followed soon after with an
equally crushing Democratic defeat, revers-
ed the reasoning of the first class and rever-
ted the second TO it's former despair and
dependency. 1t proved that the disease
which afflicted the Republican party was
so ineurable that it could not be remedied
by handshaking. and that it still retained
lis old elements of vitality and yigor. Since
that time there have been several minor
elections which more than confirmed these
conclusions.
Here in Pennsylvania the party was never
more united and harmonious than at pres
ent. What little we have had of partial
Democratic rule has alarmed the people and
convinced them that safety can only be
found in the rule of the Republicans. The
condition of national affairs, too, is sufficient
to make them adhere to their original faith
and turu from the revolutionary Kuklux
with distrust. The State is as strongly Re-
publican as ever, FOR despite the disastrous
defeats of the Western Pennsylvania Con
sressmen last fall we had majority On the
average county vote more than double that
which Geary received in 1860. Previous TO
that year the vote and majoritieS are shown

The Democratic majority in the State
Senate passed a resolution, on Saturday
last, discharging all the conference commit
tees Should the House agree to the ad
journment resolution, the appropriation
bills would fail, thus leaving the soldiers
orphans and common schools, the charitable
institutions and insane hospitals, without
funds for their maintenance, compelling the
latter to discharge their inmates. The Dem
ocratic majority in the Senate is responsible
for this state of affairs, and will be held TO
q strict accountability by the people.
