\ TOUCHING REQUIEM.-Th st. Louis
Republican still continues its unfeeling
criticisms of its old friends, the Democrats.
In q recent article it calls them a "creed-
less party" and then proceeds to show
them why they are so. 1t says that FORM
erly the Democracy thought it had an "en-
during anchorage IN the Constitution, " but
nov it cannot declare its determination to
stand by the Constitution as it is without
endorsing the whole policy of the Republi-
can party. On the subject Of tariff the
Democracy are hopelessly divided. Ga the
subject of State rights the party no longer
knows what it thinks, and its old standing
hostility to national banks is also gone.
Hence the Republican concludes:
"These diversities opinion among modern
Democrats, and this antagOnism of OfmOdern
Democracy to the Democracy Of dfteen
years ago, account for the impoSsibility OF
constructing an effective and consistent
Democratic platform. The tack cannot be
done the attempt to do it ends either in
the Baltimore folly Of re-adopting a Repub-
liean platform, or in such miserable bosh
as has just been put forth by the eunuch
Democracy of Massachusetts. The De
mocracy has lost the capacity to tell what
it wants it can no longer perform that
first essential function of an independent,
selt-sustaining party-the construction ofa
creed"

TIE Harrisburg correspondent of the
Pittsburg Post sent to that journal las
Monday, a sensational report of losses sus-
tanned by the State Treasurer by the fail
urc Of the Union Trust company. This
canard was evidently sent out for the pur-
pose of influencing voters in the coming
election, and Republican journals should
stop any effect this silly rumor may have
on the people, by printing Mr.. Mackey's
official denial, contained in Il despatch to
the Hon. Bucher Swope, which is as fol-

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. %, 1878.
To III. b. SwoPE, U. S. Attorney:
The report is not true. L had nota dol

JUST So, FIGURES WON'T LIE.--Our
neighbor Eichholtz still feels sore about his
skunk pets, and every once in while la
mcnts through the Democrat about their
being driven out of the county instead
of being driven in under the "Ring" Office
holders. In his last issue he says the
amount paid out for scalps, rs per Audi
tors Report of 1872, was 81 ,533 IS. This
amount was paid during 1871 to Jacobs
friends, and we are happy to see him ac-
knowledge the fact even at this late date.
He says that the Auditors Report of 1873
shows that the sum of 81 $50 Is was paid,
an excess of S447 90. just so, Jacob !
That is precisely what we have been con-
tending about. We always said that the
amount would increase annually if the
"Ring'' Commissioners were kept in office.
As the majority of the board of Commits
sioners for both years were Democrats it
corroberates our statement, as the increase
was, according to Eichholtz's statement,
S447. Since The Republicans have majo-
rity in the board there has been such de-
crease that our neighbor has become alarm
ed. The Republican Commissioners get
control of the office in November last, and
since that time there were S2SS 80 on old
orders paid, and SOL 65 on orders issued
since January 1st, 1873. These figures
have been taken from the records, and we
confess, speak loud in praise of the Repub-
lican Commissioners in saving the county
such a large amount on Jacobs traffic,
being a decrease of 81, $40 10 from the
amount paid by the "Ring' Commission
ers the last year they were in office.

THE late panic was one which in no way
affected mercantile or manufacturing busi-
ness of any kind, or, indeed, legitimate
business ofany description. 1t was entire
ly created by Influences springing from
speculations in fancy stocks, of which the
Northern Pacific railroad is now regarded
as at the head of the list.

Our neighhor harps n great deal on the
Auditors Report of 1873, and tries hard to
convey the idea that the bad state Of affairs
it exhibits was the doings of the present
board of Commissioners. But as every
body knows that the present board was not
organized until short time previous to
making out the Auditors Report, Jacobs
statements are looked upon as unreliable.

"We have looked at the Auditors Re-
ports, and find that in the report of 1872
outstanding orders Gndebtedncss) were
paid off to the amount of Sl0,5SS 10,
while in the last report of 1873 there was
only SO, 427 81 paid.-DemOcratcf last ,ceek.
Correct, neighbor ! And we still con-
tend that had not the Republicans got con-
troll of the offices at the close of The year,
just previous to the Auditors meeting, to
make out the report of 1873, that not a dob
lar would have been exhibited as paid on
the county Indebtedness. Since the first
of January, 1873, these Republican officers
have paid off over twelve thousand dollars,
and what is still more commendable, will
pay of the whole county debt before the
next meeting Of the Auditors. If our
neighbor thinks our statement is not cor
rect, let him, or ony other person, ,eXamina
the records at the Office.

which he became frightened and began to
run. Mr.. Boyer jumped from the buggy,
intending to catch the horse at the head,
but caught his foot between the spokes of
the wheel, inilicting compound fracture
of the leg above the ankle. lie was drag.

on to the dasher until the horse turned n
corner, when the buggy was upset and he
was thrown across the fence, escaping with
a light scratch on the nose. The horse also

vehicle and got into it, where he bound up
his broken limb with strips of bark and was
taken to his home by Mr.. Andrew Daniel.

Col. b. +. WAGENsELLER Speaking
of the nomination of the gentleman for
State Senator, in this district, the Harris
burg Telegraph says:
Colonel Wagenseller was faithful sol
dier during the rebellion, discharging his
duty in face of the enemy with bravery,
and deserves, as he will no doubt receive,
the united support OF the Republicans in
the district. The district is now repre-
sented in the Senate by a Democrat, but
the Republican majority at the last election
was over eight hundred, and the Republi-
cans have it now in their power to redeem
it. The Colonel viii make an attentive
Senator aud will represent the wishes of
his constituents with ability.
ASSESSMENT ten days before the 14th of
October and the payment of taxes, is alb
solutely necessary to entitle every man to
a vote. We hope the business men of the
Republican party will make their arrange
ments TO be at home on tho 14th of ofOctober.
Our opponents calculate OH victory, from
the fact that so many Republicans are busi-
ness men, who unless an election involves
great national issues, will not loose the
time going to the polls to vote. Every Re-
publican voteought to be and will be polled,
because it is our duty to insure the safety
and the purify of the government, always
to exhibit our strength.

A KISS AT THE DOOR.

We were standing in the doorway,
My little wife and /,
The golden sun upon her
Fell down SO silently;
a small white hand upon my arm,
What could / ask for more
Than the kindly glance of loving eyes,
As she kissed me at the door?
l know she loves with all hers heart
The one who stands beside;
And the years have been so joyous
Since first l called her BRIDE
We've had so much of happiness
Since we met in years before;
But the happiest time of all was
When she kissed me at the door.
Who cares for wealth of land or gold,
For fame or matchless power?
1t does not give the happiness
OF just one little hour
With one who loves me as her life
She says she loves me more
And thought she did this morning
When she kissed me at the door.
AT times it seems as all the world,
With all its wealth Of gold,
Is very small and poor indeed
Compared with what / hold:
When the clouds hang grim and dark,
only think the more
OF one who waits the coming step,
To kiss me at the door.
If she lives till age shall scatter
Its frost upon her head,
| know she'll love me just the same
AS the morning we were wed
But if the angels call her,
And she goes to heaven before,
/ shall know her when l meet her,
For shell kiss me at the door.
