Election Lies oontrad.cteu.

On Saturday, the Radicals of Philadelphia
put in circulation story charging 8. j. Ran
dali and Col. Mcclure with attempts to perpe-
trate frauds in several Of the counties. The
Philadelphia Press, Of to-day gives the lie to
these falsehoods in the following:
''Col. Mcclure and Hon. 8. j. Randall, chair
man Of the Liberal Republican and Democratic
Committees, explode the last mine of their
adversaries with indignant emphasis, as will be
seen BY their respective cards; and the former
supplements his denial with a speech of caustc
and surprising satire. OF all his splendid utter
ances in this canvass none will be read with
more pleasure than this humorous and telling
commentary on the bungIing cards of unskillfnl
politicians.

Tho Powers Of Eedera! Supervisors

There is some Misrepresentation as to The
power Of Federal Supervisors Of Election un-
der the new bayonet law, and statement has
obtained currency that the same authority to
order arrests by the Federal Deputy Marshals
which vas granted under the acts of 1870 and
1871, is conferred upon the additional super.
visorsAppointed in conformity with the supple.
msntary provisions Of 1872.
This is serious mistake. The supplementary
provisions, smuggled into the Sundry Civil Ser.
vice Appropriation bill, while extending the
power to appoint supervisors to all counties and
parishes wherein ten good citizens should pe,i.
tion for the appointment, expressly enacts "that
nothing in this section shall be 80 constructed
'as to authorize the appointment Of any mar
'shals or deputy marshals in addition to those
heretofore authorized by law" and that "the
supervisors herein provided for shall have no
"power or authority to make arrests or to per
form other duties than to be in the immediate
"presence of the officers holding the election
land to witness all their proceedings. including
the counting Of the votes and tha making Of a
return thereof"

SToLEN CHILD.-The Montgomery county
papers are telling startling tale of n kid
mapped child. About one year ago, a band of
gipseys was encamped near Norristown, and
during their sojourn, female child, aged !
or 8 years, escaped from them and took refuge
at house near BY, saying she had been stolen
from her parents, who lived at New Albany,
Indiana. She says her name is Ella Henry,
that Of her father, William Henry, Who she

kENNEDYvILLE TOURNAMENT.-Tho tour
namcnt of X. of F.. of Still Pond, came Of at
kennedyville, on Thursday according to pre-
vious announcement. The number in attend
ancc was not large, estimated at about five
hundred. Twenty three knights contested
for the prizes and honors The riding was
quite spirited, but in general was hardly equal
to that we have seen on similar occasions X
novel feature of the occasion was the standing
of several knights in short stirrups, and some
of thosei who rode in this manner We're
awarded for their hardhood by being thrown
from their horses
The fitting resulted in Il tie between Ash
Wilson, Knight of the Lone Star, and Georr
Tayman, Knight of Galena, both of whC..
rode standing, and took all three of the rinss
prize. Mr. Wilson, after taking all of the rings
fell from his horse and lost them, which
was equivalent TO having taken none, the
judges having made rule that the rings must
be delivered to them from the spear Mr..
rayman, however. very promptly informed
the Judges that he declined to accept the prize
| under the circumstances, and insisted upon
| his competitor having another tilt. MIR. Will
| son, however declined to ride, fearing that his
| horse would throw him again. The judges
thereupon awarded the first prize, handsome
gold watch and chain, to Mr. Tayman, who
very reluctantly consented to accept it and
the second prize, beautiful double barreled
gun, to Mr.. Wilson. The third prize, su
perior buffalo robe, was won by Garrett Fox.
well, Knight of Rose Hill. The fourth prize
| the privilege of choosing the third maid OF
honor, was won by Edw Benny, Knight OF
| Mount Rose, after a spirited contest between
four tieing knights.
The fitting being over the victorious knight
chose Miss Llddie Dyre as queen of love and
beauty Miss Ella Medders, of Galena, wa;
chosen first maid of honor Miss A. Jones
second maid of honor, aud Miss Leu Miller
third maid of honor. The closing address wa
made by William Gallagher, Esq, of Still
Pond who, in very instructive production
upon the rise and progress of chivalry, enter
tanned the audience for nearly half an hour

Buckaiew the true LaborIng m ans
Candidate

The Hon. William p. Schel, the Labor Re.
form candidate for Governor, has resigned. as
WILDE seen elsewhere. While the devotion of
Mr.. Schell to the cause of Labor Reform can
not be doubted, he could not at the same time
permit his name to be used to divide the
friends of Reform in the State government.
His resignation brings his supporters into line
with the Democrats and Liberal Republicans.
This settles the issues of the campaign. Mr..
Buckalew was the choice of large portion of
the Labor Reform convention at Williams.
port and this action Of Mr.. Schell will swell
his majority by many thousands. Mr.. Buck
alew's record in the legislature proves him a
true and unfiinching advocate of the best in
terests Of the workingmen Of Pennsylvania.
GRANT JOURNALS OPINION OF THE ACCLs-
SION.
'"nlenting upon this new accession to the
l.iber" ranks, the Philadelphia Press says:
Mr.. Schell, who is an able, honest gentle
man, deserves the thanks of the people of the
state for his unseltsh and patriotic action.
Were his election possible, We are certain that
the trust OF government would be safe in his
hands. In the great battle of reform there
must be no division of the fire. and but two
combatants. All the opponents Of the present
dlsgraceful rule of the Commonwealth, of the
corruptons of the Treasury Ring, and of the
organized power of crime, must fight in one
army and under one leader The withdrawal
of Messrs. Schell and McAdams is the finish
ing blow to the Ring. Ttdeprives it of its !. II
nope but one. its power to nullify the popular
| Will by fraud. In the presence of the awak
ening Indignation of the masses, the stern re
solve of the Reform Association to detect and
punish every offender against the purity Of
the ballot, and the certainty Of defeat, thest
men, desperate as they are and fighting fol
their lives, will halt before they take a stel
which will lead them TO the penitentiary
Their hold upon the pardoning power has al
ready been loosened, and in few shor
months will he forever lost Therefore ",
say to Our friends throughout the State be o
good cheer the battle is already won. Will
means of knowing whereof we speak. we as
sert that the result of Tuesdays election vii
show majority of great many thousan,
against Ilartranft and Allen.
