WILLIAM HARTLEY, EsQ.-The East
Brady Independent, edited by Col. Sam.
Young, a warm personal friend of General
Allen, thus rebukes the slanderous radical
press of the-State for their unwarranted
attacks upon Mr.. Hartley, the Democratic
candidate for Auditor General:
Every utterance against Mr.. Hartley is
false from beginning to end, and though
we are not a partisan of his, yet we are
free to do an act Of justice to a worthy
gentleman and save from defamation and
abuse as fair a name as is found in our
commonwealth. We deny that he was a
rebel during the war, we deny that through
his lnstrumentality a strife was fomented
IN Methodist church we allege that he
pays all bills promptly when they are cor
rect, but he VIII refuse when they are er-
roneous. He has paid out thousands of
dollars IN developing our oil fields, yet he
never accepted one dollar dishonesty, nor
refused to men wages which he contracted.
let all these charges are brought to bear
against HIM, and, without contradiction,
may find believers. We find that very
respectable paper, the Eittanning Free
Press, copying The vale slander from the
Holhdaysburg Register, reiterating the
shameless lies without comment, thus at
tempting to establish their truth.
Let Mr. Hartley be what he may in poll
tics, he Is thoroughly, conscientiously hon
est III business, and no act OF his life can
be pointed out To discredit this assertion.
he only overt act thathe did during
the war was, when that same editor lust
referred to sneeringly called him a hard
name, in taking that creature by the throat
and giving him a good choking.
MIR. Hartley is too well known through
out this region to suffer from such stories:
and we regret that any one allows his par
tisan feeling to drag him down to these
lower depths of falsehood i'll order to carry
a point.

WE refer our readers to the letter of Ho-
RACE GREELEY accepting the nomination
or the Baltimore Convention. 1t is written
IN his usual forcible and vigorous style,
neither eXtenuating nor setting downaught
IN malice. 1t will be seen that he again
accepts the Cincinnati platform, which was
reaffirmed at Baltimore, i'll language equal
ly as emphatic as he did when it was first
proclaimed at Cincinnati. He is still the
advocate of universal amnesty and of per-
feet and corHplete peace and good viii be-
tween the men of the North and the South.
his letter Is generous and high toned.

WHEN we stated last week that The Coun-
ty Convention of the Labor Reform party
in Blair county had endorsed the course of
r. MILTON SPEER in Congress, we were
not able to state the precise shape in which
the endorsement had been made We have
since then seen the proceedings of the con-
vention ard publish below tie resolution
in relation to Mr. Speer. 1t is just mark
Of confidence reposcd in him, for if the la
boring classes have genuine and sincere
friend Of their interest in Congress, we
believe that Mr.. SPEER is that man. HoR-
ACE GREELEY has been a laborious and
Woodworking man all the days and years
of his life, and among the members of the
Pennsylvania delegation to the Baltimore
Convention had no warmer or more enfbu-
siastic supporter than II. MILTON SpEER
The following is the resolution
ReSolred That having watched with ir+ar-
est the course of Hon. Il. NJ. Speer. me,nha,
in Congress from this Congressional District
we have discovered in him not only eminent
ability and fitness for ;he office, but that he

THE Catholic Mirror, which of course
takes no part III political questions or issues.
says: II he nomination OF Mr. Greeley at
CINCINNATI has excited such a frIrore
throughout all the Western and Southern
States, and also, though to a less sweeping
extent, III the Middle and Eastern States
as has never been experienced in the
United States since the days of Harrison
and Tyler. We think it even exceeds that
great W hig uprising IN vim and unanimity
" hen we heard last Wednesday the vote
OF each State called in the National Demo-
cratic Convention, and all the States, one
after another, with the exception of Della
ware and half the vote of New Jersey,
casting their vote solid for Mr.. Greeley. We
for the first time fully realized the tremen-
dous extent of the revolution which has
been inaugurat9d i'll pa4ty politics.

QUEER FREAK OF A FARNrER.-The
Bucks County (Penn.) IsteLigel,cer says:
''On certain farm in Pine Run Valley,
about three miles west of Doylestown, is a
remarkable collection of hay-stacks The
owner appears to have stacked his hay for
fifteen or twenty years past, without con-
suming much of it. and the result is that
there are now from forty to fifty large
stacks of hay on the premises. There is a
group i'll almost every field, and the build
ings are almost surrounded by them. Some
of the stacks are SO old and rotten that they
have fallen apart and show great gap in
the middle, exposing the interior to the
weather. These stacks probably contain,
or did once, an average of eight tons each.
This would make an aggregate of 400 tons,
which at present city prices would not be
far from $4,000. AS many of them are
quite old, the hay cannot now be of first
quality. The object of this remarkable
accumulation of hay we do not know, and
the owner is said to be quite averse to
selling any of it, and declined to supply
some to the neighbors who ran short last
spring. If it We're now put in the market
it would bring enough money to put the
farm i'll prime order and erect a first rate
set of buildings

ROUGH on CIGAR MANUFACTURERS
Congress has passed Tariffand Tax Law.
which, among other unjust provisions
requires retail dealers in leaf tobacco to
pay an annual license fee of five hundred
dollars, and to pay to the government one
half the amount of their sales over one
thousand dollars per year. Itprevents any
person from selling and, of course from
buying, leaf tobacco in quantities less than
hogshead at a time. Amy man who can
not afford to buy a hogshead of leaf tobacco
at time, will be thereby excluded from
the cigar manufacturing business There
are many poor men i'll the country-among
whom are great many Germans-who
have been making an honest living by the
manufacture of cigars ON limited scale,
who have not the capital to buy hogshead
OF leaf tobacco at u time, who will now be
obliged to quit the business. If that is the
way TO gain votes for the administration we
fail to see it. But this administration
cares nothing for poor men,
