reach this city until Sunday night o.

SCRANTON, September 25.-Mr. Greeley
on arriving at Danville to day from North
umberland, made q speech in which he
denounced official corruption, especially
in legislative offices. lie said the officials
who used the public money In private
purposes ought not 10 be supported. The
country Is more in danger from legislative
corruption, he believed, than from any
other source whatever. II we, he said
who stand before you on tho Gin
cinnati and Baltimore platform, have
been corrupt Legislators or corrupt politi-
clans, Il we have ourselves, or our
friends, by selfish legislation, do not touch
US. We trust no one who has SO acted
At Bloomburg Mr.. Greeley again urged
the importance OF the selection OF honest
men to office, and recommended that
the polls be watched on election day
in order TO render II certain that
every voter favorable to the cause depos-
its his vote. Mr.. Greeley spoke briefly.
AtScranton Mr. Greeley began his ad.
dress by referring to the question Of ma.
tlonal reconciliation, and said that until
that was settled we cannot have other
questions fairly considered. He, there.
fore, was for dlsposing OF 1t without con.
troversy concerning the rebellion, or the
slaves, or the negro, or the equal rights ol
man. Mr.. Greeley then referring TO the
civil service reform, said that the secre.
tsry OF the Treasury, Secretary Of the In.
terror, Postmaster General and Attorney
General were out trying to drag the peo-
pie into an Endorsement of their
policy and conduct. He protested
that this was in defence Of every reasona.
BILE conception Of Civil Service reform.
He Insisted that they should attend TO the
business for which they were paid, and
not be traversing State after State and
trying the people into subserviency ol
their policy and retention OF office. AS
10 the subordinates, we must expect they
will follow the example set by their su,
periors.
Mr.. Greeley then referred to Gen. Har.
riman, who, he said, was struggling to
convince you that everything was lovely
and his boss and himself ought to be
again in office. Mr.. Greeley demanded
just such mighty uprising Of the people
as In 1910. and insisted that there should
be no reflections Of President, and that
otficeholders should contlne themselves to
their business, and let the people take care
Of the elections.
Mr.. Greeley concluded with an expires.
sion OF confidence in the advancem ent oi
the Liberal cause, and warning the peo-
pie not 10 sell their votes.
At the Wigwam in Scranton, Pa, Mr..
Greeley also spoke as follows
GENTLEMEN-There is one idea, there
is one subject have not touched upon in
my journey thus far throughout Pennsyl.
vania, Ohio and Indiana. have been
asked the question constantly what will
New York do in this contest? How will
she goH What will be her majorities
On which side will they lean? can say
to you, gentlemen, that in the State oil
New York the Liberal Republican move.
ment is certainly as we'll developed as in
any State in which have yet been, and
that is saying very great deal for it. In
the State OF Ohio as well as in the State OF
Indiana they cannot defeat the Liberal
and Democratic parties without great
frauds are committed. The State Of New
York, between the two great parties on o
fairvote, IS evenly balanced. A change OF
about 10, 600 votes in this way will throw
the election over to one side or the other.
To-day the Democratic party Of the State
Of New York is united, and 1t will poll a
full vote. We have not less than fifty
thousand Liberals. There is not q shad-
ow ofa doubt of the Liberal Republicans,
but l do not think, considering all things,
the great efforts the government has made
with its Office holders, postmasters, collcc.
tors OF internal revenue, and its other vast
sources, / do not think under the circum.
stances that l can safely say that we shall
have great deal over fifty thousand OF a
Liberal majority, but il the States oi
Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio, all will
give majority for the Liberal candidates
New York will give more, rather than less
than a hundred thousand majority. [Great
applause
In speech at Plttston Mr.. Greeley
said: We don't propose TO pay the rebel
debts or pensions to rebel soldiers or any
of the assertions which have been be-
tween the truth and the public nlind.
At WilkCsbArre Mr.. Greeley addressed
a large crowd, saying he believed that
unless prevented by an enormous expen.
diture Of money, the public voice would
respond to the principles embodied In the
Cincinnati platform and ratified by the
Baltimore Convention.
ALLENTOWN, September 27.-Mr. Gree.
ley spoke here this evening as follows:
FELLow.cr .crTEzENs-I believe the time
has fully come for scrutiny Of the &C
counts Of the men now in power in the
nation, and in majority ifnot all Of the
States, so that we can see just what money
has been lost by incompetency and care
lessness, and obtain an honest report oi
the condition oil the finances and
the expenses Of the government
There is a steady concealment Of import.
ant facts which the people have a right
TO know. MIR, Greeley here referred to
the deialcation of Paymaster Hodge, and
said there was plenty OF talk about it.
The Pay Department charged the Treas.
ury Department, and the Treasury De.
partlnent charged 1t back to the Pay De
partment, but no investigation or search.
ing exposure was made, That whole
thing was hushed up as though 1t was
forgotten. We have delalcation alter de.
ialcation, loss after loss, and we are called
upon TO admire the honesty and puritiCa'
tion OF an administration which almos,
every day exposes rogue. What
We want is not the punishment oil one
rogue in dozen, but means devised and
put in operationwhereby such stealing
shall be impossible. What we want Is
not satisfied, nothing near 1t. Greeley
