WILLIAM /. ROSE SAMUEL HEIRY.


Mr.. Rose represented as at Harrisburg
last winter, and we need not state, what is
admitted by the candid of all parties, that he
represented us honestly and efficiently. His
speeches and his votes contributed to save
the people from millions Of taxation by aid
ing TO prevent the passage of swinding acts
and all manner of corrupt legislation.
Mr.. HENRY is "clever fellow" and cleo
tioneers with Democrats on the "clever fell
low" principle, but there is at the same time
no more bitter or unrelenting Radical in the
county or :he State than he. To talk to MIN
of voting for any Democrat under any cir
cumetances would be like asking Satan TO
rcnounce sin. Elect him, and his first legis-
and feeling of deep regret to every Demo-
crat who voted for him.
Tho odious Registry Law of the Radicals
for the city of Philadelphia, which every
year disfrapchses ten thousand Democrats
in that city, will give Pennsylvania to the
Radicals so long as it remains on the statute
book. If the State is Democratic by five
thousand. tits reversed by the ten thousand
fraudulent majority in Philadelphia. Ifne1t
fall the State should give five thousand MAJ
jority for Democracy and equal rights, the
Registry Law would enable the Radicals 10

ism. The peoples voice is drowned in the
frauds of this Infamous law.
other Democratic member, voted last winter
TO repeal this iniquitous law. SAM'L HEN
RI. if elected. will vote to perpetuate this
infamy, for the e'adherents of his party know
that its repeal would be death-blow to
their organization. If the Democrats secure
a majority in the Legislature the swipdle
will be repealed-if the Radicals maintain
the ascendancy the swindle will be continued.
In the next House of Representatives there
cannot be more than one or two majority on
either side. And what would any Democrat
think, after voting for Radical candidate,
if the vote of that candidate in the Legisla-
ture should be the means of disfIanchisng
his fellow Democrats in Philadelphia, and
thus losing the Keystone State to the good
cause 2 Our political brethren in that city
appeal to their friends in the country for the
right TO vote! Shall Democrats deny it to
them What amount of "cleverness" on
the part Of SAMUEL HENRY would ease the
conscience of any Democrat for assisting by
his vote in the perpetuation of the great
wrong under which the people of that city
now suffering2 Here is a question Of
principle sufficient to prompt every Democrat
and every honest man of whatever party, If
be desires a fair election, to vote for WIN. II
ROSE and against SAMUEL HENRY.
But if we have GGty to perform In thus
voting on principle. we have one equally
strong in the light of interest. No man but
a Banker can now be State Treasurer. In
Democratic days no man but one combining
the elements of craftsmanship and financial
ability could be chosen State Treasurer
Noto no one but Banker who can buy his
way into the position can be chosen. In
purer days the State Treasurer got nothing
but the salary provided by law no,C that
Office is worth five times as much as the of
fee of President Of the United States. Hence
it is made an Object of speculation at the
expense of the people. And this is the way
it is done: There is at all times upwards
of million of dollars of unexpended money
In the State Treasury-not unfrequentiy sew
eral millions. This money is there only in
name, however. the real fact beng that it is
always on deposit for the benefit of certain
banks, of which Cameron's bank at Harris
burg is the principal favorite At each
election for State Treasurer these Bankers of

few years ago, WIN M. LLOYD, Esq, Of
Altoona. the leading member Of the firm of
Lloyd & Co.. Bankers, was candidate for
State Treasurer. He was defeated, but his
friends made him "all right" by going for
another Banker. Two years ago GEORGE F.
HUFF, another member of the banking house
of Lloyd & Co, was candidate for State
Treasurer. He also was defeated. but his
friends went for another Banker, and he was
chosen Last year Mr.. HUFF was again a
candidate for that position and was once
more unsuccessful, but his friends went for

the "clever fellow now before the people of
Cambria county as the Radical candidate for
the Legislature. belongs to the same firm of
Lloyd & Co. So that these banks are not
bad off for candidates And if Lloyd & Co.
had another Clever fellow'' here in the po-
sition held by Mr.. HENRY. he would be the
Radical candidate for the Legislature Just the
same. The only interest Mr. HENRY has in
this county, although he has lived in it some
four or five years. is in connection with the
banking business of Lloyd & Co. That and
nothing more.
Docs any Intelligent man fail to see the
point in all this2 We know how much of
the money belonging to the State year or
two ago was held by Lloyd & Co., Cat leas:
we saw statement to that effect.) but we
do not know how much is so held now. We
do know, however, that it is divided among
those bankers who contributed to the cleo
ton of the present Bar king State Treasurer.
The reputed balance in the State Treasury
for the current year is one million seuen ham
dred thousand dollars. This, at simple in
terest, would net over one hundred thousand
dollars per year-a sum sufficiently large to
