Il Base Fraud.

The organs Of JOHN f. HARTRANFT, the
ring candidate for Governor, are industri-
ously circulating the proceedings of so
called Labor Reform State Convention
which is represented to have been held Il t
the Washington Hotel, IN Philadelphia, on
Friday last, at which resolutions were
passed denouncing CHARLES r. BUCKALEw.
We knew the whole thing was fraud the
moment we read the pretended report of
the meeting. 1t is one Of the low tricks
resoTted to by the enemies of BUCKALEw
to array against him the votes of the hon
est working men of the State.
The following letter from HENRY l..
ACKER, the Chairman of the Labor Reform
State Central Committee, exposes the fraud,
as we knew it would be done by Mr.. ACK-
Err, who is high-mipded gentleman, and
who would not sanction or endorse low
and transparent trick against pure and
upright man like CHARLES r. BUCKALEw.
We commend it to the careful considera-
ton of all the advocates Of the Labor Re
form organization il Cambria county
There are many of them, and they are up
right and honest in their opposition to the
wholesale land-grabbing resolutions of
Republican Congress, by which millions of
the public lands have been squandered
away for the benefit of Rail Road mOnOpo-
les On this question the Official record Of
BUCKALEw's votes in the Senate, which are
consistent with his whole career rs . pub
lie man, is fully endorsed. The letter Of
Mr.. ACKER is a perfect refutation Of the
pretended meeting Of the Labor Reform
State Convention at the Washington Hotel,
Philadelphia
NOREIsTOwI7, August "a.
NcsSrs. E3Hors: A number of to-day's
Philadelphia papers contain what pUrports
10 be the proceedings of the Labor Reform
State Convention, held st the Washington
Hotel, in your city, on Friday last, at which
number of resolutions were passed de-
nouuCing Hon. Charles r. Buckalew, and
endorsing cur candidate for Governor Hon.
William u. Schell. The Labor Reform parfy
OF Pennsylvania held no State Convention
in PhiladeI pbis, and the men who figure in
the pretended convention are in no way con-
nected with our organization. \ National
OF the Labor Reform party WAS
held ut Spring Garden Hall, cornero of Broad
and Spring Garden streets. on Thursday last,
which re-adopted the Columbus platform,
and appointed Committee OF Conference Of
tive To proceed 10 Louisville and urge the
nomination Of Charles o'Conor for Presi-
dent, provided our principles are endorsed,
but no State Convention was convened, be-
cause there was no necessity for such Con-
Vention.
We do not object 70 have our Cd ndidatc for
Governor endorsed by men of all parties,
but we are not willing that cur organ; zation,
which numbers many thousand voters in
this Commonwealth, shall have foisted upon
ii proceedings and resolutions which We ils
q party have never sanctioned. We are
able to get up resolutions of our
own.
The whole proc"elin- . It the Washington
Hotel are Il transparent Iraud, gotten up in
the interest Of some other party than that Of
Labor Reform.
Respectfully, HENRY !. ACKER
Chairman Labor Reform State Central Com

JnicJgted Charges against JOI;5t
+. ITIts0nJj.


When Auditor G General JolIn F. Hartranft
was nominated for Governor by Cameron
and his corrupt pensioners, several distinct
and damaging charges were preferred
against him III leading papers of this State,
as well Republican as Democratic. These
charges were not mere political allegations
Croundless and unSubstantial. intended only
to be ephemeral in their character. They
were not the ready coinage Of political tale
telIers. They were precise, circumstantial,
and supported by affidayitS and letters from
Mr.. Hartr.enfU in relation to the subject
matter forming the cornerstone of the
otfense. No such charges were ever made
before against man nominated by either
party for high Office III this State. The
political records of men have been merci-
lessly ralled by the batteries of each party.
But there the contest ended. The fight
was not made upon the personal integrity
of candidates. They We're never accused
of unfaithfulness IN the discharge of Off
cIal duties, when those duties attached to
the finances of the State, the guardianship
of the money OF the people. But IN the
ease of John Il. Hartranft new departure
has been taken. Facts warranted honest,
upright, conscientious men in occupying
advanced grounds in this case. and they
openly charged the Auditor-G GeneraI of the
State with having used State funds III stock
speculations, and put the proceeds of the
ventures INTO ms private purse.
This charge rests upon the following aft
davit, the original Of which is in existence:
Charles 7. Icrlles. Jr., OF The city of Phil
adeil'hia being duly sworn accoTding To law,
doth depOSc and say that for some years
past he has been acquainted with j. T.
HartTanft, Auditor-General Of the State Of
Pennsylvania; that he has at various times
purchased and sold stock of different kinds,
and carried the same, with money belong
ing TO the Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania.
which the same j. +. Hartranft had caused
to be deposited with this deponent by the
state Treasurer. That this deponent did
pay to j. (. Hartranft, Auditor General,
on the 10th of December, 1870 the sum OF
two thousand seven hundred dollars which
sum was derived from profits on purchase
OF loans of the Commonwealth and sales Of
the same to The Sinking Fund which sale
was made on the goth OF April 1870. That
SAID deponent has also paid To the said J
+. LaI;ranfC various amounts of money for
profits arising from stock Spcculatious with

THE BELFAST RIoTs.-There is strong
disposition i'll some quarters to crItlclSc
severely every violation of public order
committed by one class OF Irish, but to
keep entirely silent when the public peace
happens to be disturbed 10y any one else.
For days have the OrangemoI in Belfast
been having fun swing. Men, women and
children, have been slaughtered ; indiyid-
uals quietly passing along the streets have
been put to death by the rioters buildings
have been mobbod and destroyed and their
contents carried OF; and efforts have been
made to burn churches and other buildings
of the Roman Catholics. Now it Is submit
ted that all this is just As wrong as if these
outrageS had been committed by Roman
Catholics upon the persons and property of
Protestants, and Is just as worthy Of the
Tcbuke OF the press generally
Some five or six years ago the British
Parliament enacted a law entirely fOI bid
ding party professions. This law was OF
fensiye u the Oraugemen, and was repealed.
The OTangemen IN Belfast celebrated its
repeal by a grand procession, in July last,
on the anniversary of the battle of the
Boyne. Although the day and the display
was chosen and arranged evidently for the
purpose OF producing irritation, the C%tho-
lies offered 10 obstruction whatever. and
the day passed over pcaccabiy.
On the anniversary OF Catholic Emanci-
patton, however, the rival faction under
took To exercise theirlegalrig to walk
and the result : before the world. We
call public attention TO this subject, simply
for the purpose Of suggesting that neither
OF the factions into which IriEhmen, At
home and abroad, are unhappily divided
can claim TO be without Hrgh
Post.
