WE have on several occasions urged
the necessity Of forming campaign clubs
and we earnestly hope now that the
campaign is fairly opened that steps
may be taken at once in the matter. In
a contest so important as in October, ii
is absolutely indispensable to have out
the full vote and there is no plan more
certain to produce that result than the
regular meetings and discussions these
clubs. By all means let there be one in
every township. Now that the Demo.
cratic and Liberal interests are so nearly
identical, tho club room would be of
advantage not only to the Democrats
themselves but also to those honest and
clear headed Republicans who have
been disgusted by the corruption5 Of
the present administration. Let us
hear before another issue Of the CoLUM.
BIAN, that some township has taken
the initiative. We need energy and
activity for this Falls work and it is a
good plan for these, like charity, to be-
gin at home.

TIE Republican of this town is not a
brilliant sheet, but its good opinion of
itself is unbounded. Some timo since,
with reference TO its assaults on the
Press, we compared it to David the
STRIPPING and the Press to Goliath, the
giant. This struck us at the time rs
absurd enough, but the BepuJiicGn with
Il sublime complacency makes the mat
Ter more ridiculous by suggesting that
in tho story David killed Goliah, infer
ring thereby the destruction of the
Press by its own efforts. This il rather
funuier than we would have thought
of making 1t. We remember to have
read of frog who sweled himself up
prodigiously to attain the size ofan OK
in the same meadow. We remember
distinctly what became of that frog and
we hope the RepuJ'icon may read of
and profit byit.

TIE RepubJicaa publishes this week
a lengthy article about Dan. Seybert
giving the government side of the case.
The RepuJIicdn, being a government
organ was expected to do this. Besides
the cowardice of striking at man who
is unable to dofond himself, our neigh
Dor should remember that his main
friends and supporter5--such as Deacon
Walton and Frank Stewart-are of the
same school of politics asitself.
Notwithstanding all that Seybert
may have done against our rotten and
fnquisitOrial Revenue laws, had he been
a Republican henever would have been
convicted; but having been convicted,
we prophesy that he will be out of the
penitentiary before the October election
and working for the success of the Rad
ic9l ticket. TIE BARGAIN Is ALREADY
MADE, and II. 3. Swope must either
acquiesco or Cameron will have his
scalp. Already Ivy orders from Wash.
ington the execution for the fine and
costs in this case has been stayed. The
revenue law under Grant is a net which
catches all classes of fish. The big ones
are generally put back in the stream,
either because they have money or
promise political allegiance. The ! IL
meyer whisky never would have been
released except upon a pledge to sup
port Morcur, and the Executor kept his
pledge, even 50 far as to defeat Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress.

AS yet but little has been said on this
important question, Ihc District can
be carried by good man; but he must
be one who can concentrate all the votes
Of his own party, as we'll as secure those
of Liberal Republicans. The candidate
should be selected for party, and not for
personal reasons. We give below
communication from an esteemed friend
in Bradford County recommending for
that position Victor L. Piolett. We have
heard the names of several other gen.
tlemen mentioned, any oneof whom!in
our opinion would carry equal strength
with Col. Piolctt. If he is nominated of
course we shall support him as cordially
as he would a candidate from this cOun-
ty.
EDITOR COLUMBIAN The Democ-
racy Of the Thirteenth District must
soon cast about them for a candidate for
Congress, to represent them in the Ma
tional Legislature and itbehoOves them
to make the selection wisely, from
among the names presented for their
support.
Honesty and ability should be the
! most essential requirements in our can
| didates,-We having had very little of
| this in our present member, we should
also present candidate, who can and
will receive the support of the many
| honest men acting with the Republican
party, and whose support we must Sc
cure in order to succeed in this District
| against the present corrupt adminiStra-
ton who will use the U. S. Treasury
to retain power and place, at the eX-
pense of every tax payer.
From all the names that have been
mentioned in connection with the Con-
gressional nomination, that of Col
Victor Il. PiOlette, of Bradford, seem;
to us the most appropriate. a life Ions

HELP YOUR TowN.--The way to
make town is tohelp as much as possi-
BILE every branch of industry in our
midst. Judiciously aid every enterprise
that promises to add strength and char
scter to the place. If your neighbor
builds a house, help him TO pay for it,.
1t is your duty. If you are a property
holder every new house strengthens
you, and it is but right to leciprocate.
DON'T hide dollar with penny. Look
ahead. Consider what is best for you in
the long run. Don't be so jealous. If you
can draw advantage from an enterprise
forwarded by an enemy, support it,even
if it does enrich him. What you want
is start for yourself. You don't want
to keep yourselfpoor all your days upon
the score that to help yourselfis to help
your neighbor. Every community is
partnership in which wo all have
stock, and wo arc only entitled to our
share of the profits.
