Brother Griswold of the Lancaster
Gazette, in an editorial last week, took
occasion to call the attention of the
Republicans to the fact that the Dem
ocratic party and newspaper publish
ers are at this time making extraordi-
nary exertions to place their partisan
newspapers in the hands Of every fam
lily throughout the country. The Ga
zette very properly and truly says:
''Thc large city Democratic papers
are eXpending money freely in send
ing ont travelling agents who are trav-
ersing the country in every direction,
soliciting subscriptions, and the small
er fry IN the towns and villages are
putting forth fresh exertions to the
same end. The moving impulse is to
be found in the present political stu
alton, which is thought by Democrat
ic editors and other leaders to be IA
vorable for a kind of Democratic re-
vival. The encouragement thus taken
is derived solely from the attitude of
the few soreheads who style them
selves Liberal Republicans" who are
doing their dirtiest in the effort to
detach wing from the main Republi
can army. md to march with it to the
relief of the copperhead host which is
| lying in wait for an opportunity to
subvert the Republican work of the
| last ten years Now it is not to be
denied that mischief may be the result
If these lisafected Republican dema
gogues be allowed to fill the air with
political nastiness and poison for DEM
ocratic papers to disseminate among
the people, and no corresponding eff
fort be made on the part of true and
steadfast Republicans to counteract
and neutralize their effects.
The preventive AMI the remedy of
this mischief will be found in an aug
mented circulation of Republican
newspapers, especially the issues oi
the country press, which should be
made to reach the freside of every
voter who will read them. Our Re
publican contemporaries will do well tc
look these facts in the face, and take
their measures accordingly. We doub
not the honest. intelligent, reading
Republican masses will respond tC
any proper call made upon them, will
material aid and comfort
Now, we are not disposed to com.
plain of the patronage given the HER
AID by the people Of Fayette county
yet we are confident that there are a
great many persons in the county who
do not take our paper, those, too, who
have families, and are abundantly abb,
to pay for half dozen newspapers
A we'll conducted newspaper IN a fam
lily is worth more to every child in it
every year, than the cost of one paper
Two dollars is very small amount tc
pay per year for the matter you get
and there is no family, or perhaps bu
very few, who cannot pay two dollar
for County newspaper.
Suppose you who do not take th
HERALD try it for one year, or 70
six months, and if you think we ar
not giving you the worth of you
money, you can stop it, andyou wi
have lost but little, at most
1 We hope our friends who do TAX
the HERALD will urge their neighbor
who have not yet become subscribers
to do so. In view of the fact tina
publishers and politicians ofthe oppo
sition are using every exertion to plac
their papers in the homes of all, an,
thus exert a political ir.auence IN til
/, approaching election, it is importan
that they should also be in posses
sion of the arguments and facts pre-
sentcd by the Republican papers. ]
will hurt nobody to read both side
where the questions are fairly an
honestly presented.
