The RcsuH!

Most people are no doubt aware that
an election was held in this State on
tho 10Th, and that our opponents have
carried the State by 10000 majority,
aud both branches of the Legislature.
George O. Evans, Geary's pct, who
robbed the State Treasury of $500, 900,
is therefore endorsed, and will have
his accounts settled by those who ap.
pointed him aud with whom ho divi.
dcd the money. lie has for two weeks
past been quartered in tho parlor Of
the best hotel in Harrisburg, watched
by two policemen and ieasted and
wincd at the expense Of tho State.
What is there to deter any of our
State officials from becoming corrupt
under such treatmentg
We are however able to state that
tho Radicals of Clearfcld did not en-.
dorse the State swindlcrs. Had our
opponents in the other counties of the
State acted in harmony with their
friends in this county, the Democrats
would have carried the State by l5,.
600, and thereby substantially rebuked
the State robbers.
The Democratic majority Of 1893,
Is pleasant to reflect over, and makes
us feel proud Of our noble little county
Our majority is greater than ever be.
fore, except that given for Gen Nc.
Clollan in 1864, when it was 1892.
That we have mousers and guerrilas
within our ranks, is very evident, and
that they played off some dirty tricks
is equally evident; but disgraoing
themselves is about all the harm they
accomplished We shall be more spo.
cifc on some future occasion when the
official returns are before us, and will
go to some pains to point out some Of
their doings at home and abroad
Tho official returns Of our county,
found in this issue, must suffice for the

Radical Rascaiify.

Major Hodge, q paymaster in the
army, was. arrested some time ago for
'Ysbting the United States Treasury
of nearly half million ofdollars. He
was tried by court martial of
echums," who found that he had, in
less than four years, spent s446, ,2S0.16
of Uncle Sans cash, and the Court
sentenced him to ten years in the
penitentiary, and restore tho money.
The New York Sun, of the llth, thus
exposes the loyal dodge adopted in
order that the Major may escape.
The editor in question, who knows all
about tho law and the facts. says:
"Thc extraordinary sentence of ten
years in the ponitentiary imposed upon
Paymaster Hodge is n sham. 1t is
apparent that the President when he
approved it never intended that this
deiaulter should be punished. The
court martial had no more right to
sentence Hodge to the penitentiary
than it had TO sentence him to be
hanged, and right we'll tho court knew
it. An act OF Congress passed July
II, 1862, expressly limits the authori.
ty to impose such sentence TO cases
where by law the same court has pow
or to inflict the punishment of death.
"This has been put to the test be.
fore. Four naval paymasters, who
were sentenced TO imprisonment about
year ago, were discharged under
this law by Secretary lsobeson, after
consultation with the Attorney. Gene.
raj. The court martial then made a
blunder, but now, with the preceden,
clearly established, it is plain that the
officers of this court willully imposed
an illegal sentence, with a view TO
getting brother officer ont of Il
scrapo 1t is equally plain that in
this they were knowingly aided by
the President Of the United States.
"Of course Paymaster Hodge will
walk away from the Albany Pcniten-
tiary on a writ of hdJeds corpus before
he has fairly got into it,"

Legislature Of Massachusetts to have
taken 100000 as bride to defraud
his constituents and betra y his clients
when he was counsel and director OF
the Erie Railway Company, three or
four years ago. If he requires only
$500 as tho price of appointing man

moderate. Such "prescnts" are alto

good many curious people, who, despite the rain,
loitered about the hotel entrance in the hopes OF
catching glimpse OF the Dnke. Some OF them went
