UNDEr the head of Double Back Ac-
tino, " the current number Of the Iohnstown

Tently well founded rumor is abroad to the

party in this county have decided upon
sacrificing every other man on their ticket
for the purpose of securing. by a sort of
free trade system, the election of ID. III.
Kinkead, to the Office of Prothonotary.

ting to the Democrtic ticket generally and

kead can trade me ] can trade Kinkead,' ;
is the way one of the candidates in the op-
position ticket has already indicated the
course he intends pursuing, and by the
time the other nine enter the game upon
the same basis, the managers aforesaid
will find themselves playing lone hand

THE radical managers with Senator
Morton, of Indiana, at their head, seem
determined once more to reconstruct the
State of Arkansas. When will these in
famous outrages cease? After the late
dlsgracefui quarrel in tha. State for the
possession of the Office Of Governor, be-
tween Baxter and Brooks, in which con-
test Baxter, through the interposition of
Grant, was successful, and took charge of
the State House, it was believed by the
friends of law and order in the State that
peace and harmony would prevail, and
that any futule difficulty between the con-
tending factions would be avoided. A
new constitution was recently voted on by
the people of the State, and in fetal vote
OF oo,ooo, and with all the advantages of
long possession of power, Clayton. Dorsey,
and the balance of the corrupt carpet-bap
crew, who for years have been robbino
and plundering the people of the State,
could only poll 5000, or, in other words,
one tenth of the vote on that test question.
And now, when Clayton and his corrupt
crew have been defeated at the ballot box
in a peaceable aud quiet manner. without
. riot or any disturbance whatever. it is
deliberately proposed to undo the action
of the people by an appeal for interference
on partt of the national Administrations
This is to be done on the base and unfound-
ed allegation that the Constitutional con-
vention was an Illegal and unauthorized
body, and that its action was therefore
void and OF no binding effectc although
the people ratified its calling by majori
ty OF over 10000. Accordingly, Brooks,
the deposed Governor and his friends pro,
pose not to vote on the adoption of the
constitution on next Tuesday, and then
appeal to Gen. Grant to interfere and dis
solve the present State government. 1t is
bold, Infamous and nefarious scheme,
and We trust and believe that President
Grant will not give his aid and support to
any snch villany. Peace and order reign
in Arkansas to day, aud in the name of
decency, justice and the happiness of it's
people, let there be no attempt made to
introduce anarchy and confusion.

THE record of Hon aJohn I,atta the dem

THE record of Hon ,sJohn Latta, the dem
ocratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor.
IN matters affecting miners, stands in hon
orable contrast to that of Hon. A. G.. Ol,n-
stsd, the republican nominee. To .be
sturdy advocacy of Mr.. Latta the bituml-
nous coal miners of the State owe the act Of
1878, by the provisions of which operators
must pay for all the merchantable coal
mined. This act makes seventy-six pounds
legal bushel, and two thousand pounds
legal ton. Before the passage of the act
operators were accustomed only to pay mi
ners for lump coal; the nut coal, con-
stituting one-fifth of the coal mined, was
unpaid for. The miners also turned ont
eighty pounds of coal for a bushel, while
:he operator sold it at seventy-six TBS to the
oushel. This change met with determined
opposition in the legislature but was forced
through the house by Mr. Latta's persistent
advocacy. 1t will hardly be possible for
the hard working miners of PENNSYLVANIA
to vote against Mr.. Latta, the champion of
their interests in the legislature, and in fa-
ver of Mr.. Olmsted the advocate of an infa-
NOUS law, discriminating against them as
class, and depriving them of one of the
privileges which the statute confers on all
cltizens-three months notice from a land
| lord to his tenant before eviction for anv
cause.-Harris6urg Patriot.

To LABORING MEN.-Those who have
studied events during the last ten years
can now see she folly of placing dependence
on the promises ofradical politicians. The
progress of the Radical party and the
power 1t gained as an organization were ac-
quircd by the pledges if fproclaimed-pledg-
eS which have been as freely broken as
they were given We have only to refer to
the platform of the Republican patty on
questions concerning the laboring classes
and the sad condition the latter now find
themselves in. See the distress that now
overhangs the working classes everywhere.
In no instance has the ruling party kept
faith with those who handle the plow,
who drive the spike, work in the mines.
operate the furnaces and mills, or WELD
the lever which forms the machine. Its
policy has been in all cases inimical to
labor to build up the rich at the expense
OF the poor to make labor subservient to
capital, consequently to Cypress and de
grade 1t. While it promised to protect it,
it used all power to crush. Labor is not
only scarce now, but what little there is
but lily remunerated. And all this the re-
suit of radical misrule Are they not an =
swerable for the present depressed condi-
tion of trade, for the wide ruin, the want
and wretchedness that stares us in the face
on every hand They can't escape the re-
sponsbility. They have heretofore boasted
that they shaped the policy of the country,
the fruits of which are seen in the stand
ing mill, the silent workshop, enforced idle
ness among the working classes, and its
resultant poverty in direst form. The pres
ent distress must be removed from the
shoulders of the toiling millions. The Dem
ocratic party alone proposes to accomplish
this, and we here say that the only escape
from this condition of things, from ire
trievable bankruptcy of the nation, is in a
change of rulers. Unless the people protest
against the evils of RadicalisIn at the polls
next November, coming, and do it, too, in
that unmistakabie manner which will
change the complexion of the next Con
gress, all that has made this country grand
and glorious i'll the sight of him who looks
to his strong right arm for prcferment will
have passed away, Elect our Democratic
nominees, then the public plunderers will
be driven out, honest men will take THEN
places, confidence will be restored and the
initial movement made towards setting the
wheels cf industry once again in motion.

TuE annual State election in this and
several other States formerly took place on
the second Tuesday of October. The new
constitution, however, has changed the
time i'm Pennsylvania until the first Tues
day of November, being this year the
third day of that month"; on which day
the State and County elections will be
held. This change was deemed necessary
by the convention in order 10 conform TO
the day set apart in all the States for hold
ing the Presidential election. All that our
constitutional convention therefore did
was to fix the day of the State and County
elections Oh the same day as the Presi-
dental election. We regard it, for many
reasons, a wise provision in the new con-
stitution. Other States and especially in
the West, will hold their elections for State
ficers On next Tuesday. This will lie
the case in Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, and Ne
bra.ka. iu Ohio and Indiana no Cover
nor is to be elected, William Allen and
Thomas A. Hendricks being the present
Democratic Governors respectively, nor
will there be an election for members of
the Legislation in either Of the two States
named. But there will be an election for
Congre ssmen. In the last Congress, the
four States enumerated were represented
by Mfrty-three Radicals and ten Democrats.
We feel quite sure that the Grant party
will not hold its own in the election of
Congressman next Tuesday. It is worthy
Of special note, and is an encouraging sign
Of the times, that not a single man who
pocketed the back pay has had the courage
ts face his constituents in either of the
four States named. In Nebraska, Gov
ernor, other State officers and Legisla-
ture will be elected. On the same day
West Virginia will vote for members of
the Legislature, and the Democrats of
Arkansas will vote on the new constitution
recently adopted and for the candidates
for State officers nominated under it. We
are not aware of any other State elections
next week, but we have no doubt of sweep
iEg Democr1tic Criumphs in the States
named. Yet we confess that the result of
an election is like lottery, and we must,
therefore, patiently and hopefully wait
for :he result.
The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1874-10-09

w have few words to say this week
to the candidates composing the Demo
cratic county ticket. We entertain no fear
whatever Of the triumphant success of the
entire ticket, because when the Denocra-
cy are united they can carry the county by
clear majority of 700, and as our inform
alton from nearly every district in the
county justifies us in saying that the ticket
meets with enthusiastic approval. its cleo
tion cannot admit of any reasonable doubt.
But in order to make the victory complete
and overwhelming, it is necessary that the
candidates themselves, to use hornely
phrase, should ''roll up their sleeves and 90
to work" 1t is a wise maxim in politics,
as well as in war, never to underestimate
the strength and resources of the enemy
To achieve a decisive victory the united
Democratic column must be pushed to the
front and vigorous and determined charge
made along the whole Republican line.-
To be foTewarned is to be forearmod. and
we now caution the Democratic candidates
that their opponents assert their intention
of making the campaign warm and live
ly one, and some Of them even go SO far
as to claim that their candidates can and
will be elected. If a nomination by a
county convention is worth contending
for, surely the candidate who receives it
ought to fight for final success at the polls.
The Democratic press of the county will
do its full duty, but it must be aided and
strengthened by the active efforts of the
candidates. We as Democrat have a
party interest in the result. 7Hey not only
have that, but also a personal interest
We have no reason to doubt that every
candidate on the ticket fully understand
his duty and will actively perform it.
The time between this and the election il
brief, and therefore the more urgent the
necessity for prompt and energetic action
Our advice is honestly given and we trust
1t will be acted on in the same spirit.

OLMsTED AND THE SINKING FUND
By the Constitution of the State, Sec. of
Article s., as it stood prior to its recent
amendment, says the Harrisburg, Patriot,
the establishment of a sinking fund was
authorized and directed for the payment
of the State debt, and it was especially
provided in the same clause of the coasti-
tuition that unless in case Of war, inva-
sion or insurrection no part of the sinking
fund shall bs used or applied otherwise
than in extingush ment OF the public debt
until the amount of such debt is reduced
below the sum of five millions of dollars
In 1853 a democratic legislature passed an
act To carry into effect this provision of
the constitution and the sinking fund has
been since then an accomplished fact
But no sooner did the radical party obtain
possession of the treasury than they began
to divert from the sinking fund aud to ap-
propriate to the current expenses of the
State government large sums of the peo-
pies taxes which legitimately and legally
belonged to 1T. Under the management
of State affairs the ordinary expenses of
the government were increased SO largely
that they were obliged III oitlcr to make
ends meet, te use the funds Sacrediy set
apart for the extinguishInent of the State
debt. his high-hauded policy caused
considerable comment in political circles,
began to take alarm at the excitement in
the public mind over the misa precipitation
of the moneys in the sinking fund. De
string to propitiate an indignant public
sentiment, a resolution was adopted in
the Senate of 1860, bv "a strict party vote
the rCdical senator's voting for il and the
democratic senators voting against it. re-
questing Attorney General Benjamin Har-
rs Brewster to give All opinion on the con
stltutlonallty Of certain proposed act Of
assembly authorizing the moneys arising
from certain taxes to be diverted from the
sinking fund for the payment Of the cur
rent and ordinary expense Of the Common
wealth. This resolution led to prolong-
ed debate in the Senate [see Leg. Rec, for
1869, p. 201l during which Arthur q. Ohm
sted took occasion to say that he had ''nO
doubt of the power ef the legisla ture to di-
vert the funds from the siuling fund which
have been put there by an act of the legis-
lature subsequent to the adoption of the
constitutional amendments of 1857 In
spite of the plain and unequivocal inhibi-
ton of the constitution, Mr.. OlnIsted
thought it perfectly competent for the leg
islature to put its hand into the sinking
fund and appropriate to the ordinary ex-
penses OF the Commonwealth the moneys
specially reserved for the extinguishment
of the State debt. Is it any wonder that
he is afavorite Of the ring and to day heads
the ticket of the p!underers Of the sinking
fund?
