THE VIRDICT.-Twelve States have vot-
ed this year: New, Hamsbirc, Connecticut,
Oregon, NORTH Carolina, Vermont, Maine,
Geofgia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Nebnskn and Sbuth Carolina, and every
one Of tliesc have endorsed the admnistra-
tionwiththe exception of Georgia, and in
this latter they showed that "grasping
hands over the bloody chasm" means when
Democrats arc in power Republicans must
be murdered if they attempt 10 vote-Ato
keep fresh blood in the chasm, we suppose.
The crushing defeats on Tuesday of last
week sealed the doom of Greeley & Brown.
Their nomination by the Democracy was n
bitter mistake, which the latter now see.
The Liberals who deserted the Republican
ranks TO follow the lead of Mr.. Greeley are
proven to have been a mere handful, not
equalling the number Of Democrats who
were disgusted. With all these facts before
us it is plain that Mr. Greeley will be one
of the worst whipped men in November
that ever ran for President. The following
table shows the electoral vote of the vari-

Go oN,AND KEEP IT UP.-Our Rcpub-
ncan friends should bear in mind that their
duty is but half performed. The triumph
Of Tuesday Of last week must be maintain
ed OH the 9TH OF November next. The OPP
position papers give up all hopes of Penn
sylvaua. 1t will not do TO place The least
reliance on these deceitful protensions.
We know that they are terribly discourag-
ed, but that is no reason why they may not
make heavy secret effort in the coming
Presidential conflict, relying upon your ap-
athy, generally the result of great polti-
cal victory, for their success. You have
most nobly rebuked the slandcrers of your
chosen candidates at the late election, now
let every Republican be on his guard
against surprise at the approaching cleo
ton for President. The district organiza-
tions should be kept up, and prepared for
emergencies. The verdict in November is
sof great Importance to the nation, and none
are more Interested than the farmers, me-
rnenhanics and laborers, who are depend
ent on their toll.
The Presidential contest embraces the
last frantic effort of the Democratic party.
at is peculiar, but true, that in its closing
days it drew to itself considerable show
ing of Repnblicans, and was inflated with
high hopes of,sreeess, in the State and Ma
4ional elections. 1t has worked with n
!Trantic energy, ,Beaer surpassed, even IN
its palmiest days. 1t confidently expected
Pennsylvania. Ohio. and Indiana, and with
these, the Presidency. 1t was iufated
with the idea of repairing its fortunes. OF
restoring 60 much Of lis old-time policy rs
, could be safely brought forward, aud par
ticularly, it aims TO le4etlt exceptionally

1T has had gloomy expeditions of rcstor-
ing ths,fzsanization to 'ns pristine vigor
and glory. YAH depended en the elections
just over. Tlns die is cast asa it is against
them.

AN INDEPENDENT EDITon, OR PRE-
TENDED MAR&xR. The garbled and un-
truthful statement of f. A. Hover, editor
of the Guard, in his last issue, in relation
to what he calls an assault on himself by
Hon. j. b. Packer, compels us to state the
facts as they really occurred in our press
cnce, and which can be proved by twenty
disinterested witnesses. Mr.. Hover says :
"0n Saturday evening last we had occa-
sion to visit Shamokin, TO attend public
meeting. An extia train carrying Repub-
licdns free over the n. G. X. r., with
torches TO ATTEND the Republican torch
light procession Mt Shamokin, left this
place on that evening. A number of per-
sons not claiming to he of that party, by
proposing to pay their fare, were permitted
TO ride on the train. Returning about mid
night, we were passing the seat occupied
by Mr.. Packer and another gentleman,
when Mr.. Packer demanded in rather an
imperitivo manner If we had in our last
issue editorially made certain charges
against him." int
Now the truth is, that Mr.. Hover and
his friends surreptitiously got into the cars
against the proicstations of numbe of Re-
publicans who had chartered the cars for
their own exclusive use, and no gentleman
would have forced himself into company
uninvitcd, and where he was not wanted.
On the return from Shamokin, Mr.. Hover
and somo of his friends again managed to
get into the only passenger car which was
attached to the train, some of them by
creeping through the windows. On seeing
Mr.. Hover in the car Mr.. Packer prompt
ly asked him who was The author of SLAM
derous article in his last paper in regard
to himself, when Mr.. Hover handed him
the paper, referring to his name at the
head. Mr.. Packer replied that he wanted
the name of the author, and was well aware
that he (Mr. Hover did not write the ar
ticle, and further stated that "it i'll becomes
you, " young man and stranger, who
has just come into the county to SANDER its
citizens, especially when you had offered
only week ago to sell out to me for q con-
sideraton.n Mr.. Hover said, "you can't
prove that fact" Mr.. Packer then replied
"Yes l can, as have your letter TO that
effect" Mr.. Hover then attempted to
shirk the responsibility of his acts, by pre-
tending that the writer of that letter was
not his partner, but only an associate edi-
tor. Mr.. Packer promptly shut him up
by stating that they both acted together
on that occasion.
The above is substantially the CONVERSE
ton as it occurred, and which this new
tangled political martyr, who was ready to
sell out to the highest bidder, attempts 10
pcrvert, by calling it an assault upon an
Independent editor. Heaven save us from
such independence

THE TRIAL OF EMANUEL SIIATFNER.- -
At special Oyer and Terminer Court in
Dauphin county on Monday last, the case
of Emanuel Shaflner, charged with the
murder of his wife Nancy Shafiner by ar
senical poison, was brought to trial. This
case had been tried in March last, and the
prisoner was found guilty of murder in the
first degree. The case was then carried to
the Supreme Court where judgment was
reversed and new trial ordered. On
Monday the second trial was commenced
when Emanual Shaffncr put in a plea of
guilty of murder in the second degree on
three indictments. For the murder of
Nancy Shaffncr, John Shallo and Sarah
Shafincr. His sentence of the Court was
twelve years in the Eastern Penitentiary
on each indictment, making thirtysix
years altogether.

NOTHING contributed so iauch to "a G

in this Stale, on Tuesday of,last week as the
disaflection Of the Democracy. iThc
Sunday Dispatch. in careful summary. .af

dental years, an increase beyond the vote
of last year, when tie majority A'as ] / ,0s4.
Add to that 5,G76, the Republican Increase
aEfd / $40, the Democratic decrease, and
The amount is 1925, which is about ], 400
short Of IIartranft's majority. The extra
ordinary change is to be attributed, there
fore, TO the fact that some Of the Democrats
were dieal1eted, and refused 10 be dragged
.behind the Greeley car. The same causes
prevailed throughout tise State, aud the
Republican majority which last year wat
no more, upon the Auditor General, thar

20 more than 35,090." No experiment il
more dangerous than for party to aban

The Philadelphia Press, which has fought

ly, and quite as yiruently as the Tribune,
bears testimony as to the result, and the
means By which it was reached 1t would
be folly to alese that the great majority
for IIartranft is tho offspring of fraud.
We believe it TO be a legitimate majority

plainly on the surface of the contest that

Grant pulled this ticket through. In any
ordinary contest itwould have been beat
en- out of sight but his name and tho fear
that its defeat would damage him in No
vemher rallied to it thousands who closed
their eyes to the proofs We daily sproa
before them, and constrained many to cer-
tify to the deservings of candidates oil

tant, when the sun will shine upon you q

He advised the South to say to the North /:
"'We know our rights, and know they are
invaded and then wait patiently until we
see them divided, and at issue with them
selves, and join the party, and support the
candidate and the platform that promises
a restoration of constitutional liberty. 1t
is then you will hold the balance of poiti-
cal power in your own hands, and it is
then that all your rights will once more be
restored and guaranteed. ."-Jct Daris ,

AN INSULT TO DEMoCRATs.-The edi-
tor of the Democrat, in his last issue, ap-
pears 20 be somewhat sour at his fellow
Democrats, and abuses them in the follow
ing STYLE
"But the great cause for our defeat was
the unlimited use of money by the Rad-
cali. They had n large share of the funds
cole cted from the Federal office-holders,
,cith achtch leading Democrats rere bought
up TO lcort .toT this or that candidate on the
Radical ticket. and rotes ,rerc bought ltp
,cith unpGr0llelcd shdme'eSSneSs."
Our experience has been that Democrats
in this county were just as honest as men
of any other party, and in n general sense,
fully the equal of the editor of The Demo-
crat. TO perpetrate n SANDER like the
above is entirely uncallcd for. 1t is true
that there are large number Of Democrats
who refused to be sold out year after year
by such men as the editor of the Democrat
and his ring, for the reason that their con-
science will not sanction fraud, corruption
and general political chicanery. If the ed.
itor of the Democrat expects to keep nom
est men in the ranks of the democratic
party by slandering them, he mistakes hu.
man nature to most fatal degree, and he
will find that n SANDER will not pay polti.
,cally or otherwise. 1t twas the ISLANDERS per-
tpctrated against Gen. Hartranft that pro-
,dlced his immense majority. That perse'
cation and SANDER availeth nothing was
fully proven in our late election
