The Musical Convention.

The Musical Convention in Stroudsburg, con-
Quoted by Professor Theodore E. Perkins, Of
n. Y, which closed its session with Concert
on Friday evening of last week, was grand
success.
The attendance from the beginning to the
end of the session was large; and the turn out
to the Concert was most gratifying to the Pro
fessor and his pupils The verdict of those who
attended the Convention and listened to the
singing on Friday evening, is that the Protes-
sor knows first how to sing himself and how TO
make others sing. Many having expressed
an earnest desire for further instruction by
him, arrangements have been made for his re-
turn to Stroudsburg to give course of lessons
in both the elementary and higher departments
ofvocal music In order to secure this great privi-
lere to our boroughs and the adjacent com
munities. Mr.. Jerome 5. Williams has very
kindly granted the class the free use of his hall
every Monday evening for three months. The
first lesson will be given on Monday evening,
the 9th of November. The whole course will
consist of u lessons 2 hours each. The first
hour of each session will be devoted to the cle-
ments of music. made so plain that youth can
understand them, and the other hour will be
spent on the higher culture of music
The price of tickets to the whole course will
be S. and can be obtained from Rev. W. II.
Dinsmore and Thos. \. Bell.
There will only be enough sold to cover the
expenses incurred in getting up the class
About eighty persons have already given their
names as members of the class, which certain
ly speaks well for the reputation Prof. Perkins
has made for himself amongst the lovers of
music in our community. And We are glad to
see that so many appreciate the opportunity Of
placing themselves under so great master OF
this fine art, 1t is truly rare opportunity
and tho ,,rica 0f tho tickets has heen mt at q
very low figure in order to afford as many as
possible the privilege of attending this superb
musical instruction. 1t is the special desire of
the managers that all of the Churches within
reach will be fully represented in the class so
that they will enjoy an unsurpassed privilege
of elevating their congregational and sabbath
school singing. If any in the country wish
tickets they will please make application i'm
mediately, either in person or by letter. The
tickets must invariably be paid for in advance;
the money will be safely deposited; the pro
fessor paid weekly; and if sickness or death
prevent his fulfilling the engagement, the
money will be refunded TO the pupils

ss5~ Reader vote for ROBERT B.
BEATH for SECRETARY OF INTERNAL
AFFAIRS on Tuesday next if you wish to rest
secure in having performed your duty. Gen.
Beath has been faithful administrator OF
theSuryeyor General office for the last three
years, and during that time has developed
qualities emnently fitting him TO fill the new
office for which he has been named. A faith
tul soldier and faithful public officer, and
a man of thoroughly sound principles he well
deserves your support. His opponent, Gen.
McCandless was before you three years age
for the post Of Auditor General. You told
him then, enIphatically, that you did not re-
quire his services then, and he has since af
forded you no reason why you should want
him now He is a political trimmer Of the
Democratic school, and certainly is not the
man to take official part in the affairs Of the
government. OF course you viii vote fol

The State Debt.

FROM the HhIiadciph}a LteAlrS bt1elii'
There is one argument for the Republi
can party in Pennsylvania that can never
be gainsaid The State debt, created BY
Democratic extra Eagance, waste and cor
raption, has been steadily paid off by sue
cessiye EepBblica!a administrations Ias
Saturday, State Treasurer Mackey compile
ted purchase Of State bonds, which bring.
the, amount redeemed by him since the be
ginning of the present fiscal year, Dee. l
1873, up to one million dollars And before
the end of the year the Commissioners o.
the Sinking Fund viii redeem about $780,,
.000 more, 50 paying off 81 100000 of the
State debt during the current fiscal year
Since 1861, this Republican work Of re
demption has gone steadily on, relieving
the State of the burden Of debt heaped up
on it by the Democratic party. From
1861 TO 1874, nineteen millions of deb:
have thus been paid off. And this has
been done not by heavy taxes, but by good
policy in developing the resources Of the
State, and good management Of It's incomes
In thirty years the Democratic party piled
up debt Of O,OG0, ,O00, IN the same OF
less time the Republican party will have
paid it all of.
This is an argument which he who runs
may read, and one that no spccious Phis
try or misrepresentation can possibly weak
en- or set aside 1t comes hone to every
citizen and to every business interest il
the State. Pennsylvania is rapidly ap
preaching a freedom from all debt, under
Republican rule, and it is simply blind foliE
to talk about putting the debt-makers bach
into power, when the debt-payers are stead.
lily pursuing such good work
Pennsylvania, relieved from debt, vii
win fresh honor as the Keystone of the
Union and she will be able, without bur.
dening her people and her industries with
heavy taxation, to carry forward much use
ful work which properly belongings, to a
great State like this, but which cannot he
properly done while any debt rests upon
her.
The people of Pennsylvania should ev-
erywhere have their eyes open to this un-
answerable argument which comes from
the Treasury Department. In year OF
unusual depression and unusual necessary
expenditure, the Republican administra
ton Of the State pays off one million three
hundred thousand dollars of debt. Ifthere
is ever any virtue in the good old maxion
''let well enough alone" it ought to have
its full weight upon public opinion and pub
lie action when it is applied to an issue in.
volving the honor and wellbeing of the
State. When the Republican party has
paid off the whole debt of Pennsylvania, il
will be time enough to determine whether
the people want to set the Democratic
party to work contracting new one.

ss%~READER VOTE TIE WHOLE REPUBLI-
CAN STATE TICKET on Tuesday next if you
wish to promote the best interests of the
Commonwealth. Bear the truth in mind
that fourteen years Of Republican rule, not
withstanding the wars necessary pecuniary
demands, has abolished State Taxes on per-
sonal and real property and reduced the
State debt at the rate of nearly $4,000, 900
per annum-bringing the debt from forty
odd millions down to some twenty odd mil
lions, and laid a safe foundation for like
annual reduction until all the debt is paid.
If you wish this glorious State of things to
continue you must see to it that the manage
ment Of affairs does not fall into the hands
of the spoils party, commononly called the
Democratic party. But you will not permit
so foolish thing. Be sure to vote right
rhen by voting for Paxson, 0lmsted, Allen,
Beath and Butler.

eD- Republicans go to the polls early on
Tuesday next, and after you have voted, go
To work looking up the voluntary delinquents
and those who are absent by reason age or
bodily infrmity and see that all get there and
vote, and vote right Make it your duty to
look after the disgusted Democrats, of whom
there are known TO be many in the county.
Republican votes are to be found among
these, if Republican truths are plainly laid
before them, and every vote thus made
counts two in the grand result Remember
that every Republican s true duty on election
day begins with the opening of the polls, and
ceases only after the votes are counted and
the result in the district is known. Prepare
yourselves, then for hard though a glorious
days work on Tuesday. The Democrats, we
assure you will not sleep on that day, and
you must be around to watch and see that
they come no lodges over the right

game that is not often met with in this sec

He was hunting in the woods near his faith
er's house when he came across a wild cat.
With true nmrod pluck he blazed away at
the yarmint but only wounded it. Two more
shots, however, brought the animal to its
death, when on measuring it it was found to
be three feetin length, and rather an unpleas-
ant looking object to meet in the woods

N92 Oar ncighbor finds fault with the Re-
publicans for having taken State Taxes from
off the poor mans homestead and occupation
and placing them where they should be on
mammoth, bloated and monopolzng corpora
tons The Republicans thought that as the
corporations were rich under the privileges
robbed from the people and conferred upon
them during the good old Democratic times
that We read about, that they should do No
less than pay q portion Of the expenses of
the government under whose laws they were
protected. The people think this is right as
it certainly is. The Democracy think differ
emily, and ''the Democrat thinks, no writer
" but knave intending to deceive or a fool
unfit to instruct anybody, would be guilty
" Of writing such twaddle." Well every
man to his notion, and while Republicans
think most of the people and lcgislato for
the promotion Of their interests, we do not
feel ike finding fault with the Democracy for
thinking most OF corporations and denounc-
ing Republicans for bringing them to the as
sumption of just share Of the government
burdens. 1t would be well, however for the
Democratic voters, on election day, to make
a note of this difference in the views of the
two parties. We have no fears of the result
with the issue joined democracy and the
corporations rs Republicanism and the peo-
pie, because we shall expect to win every
time.
