IT isa well isuown fact that since the
Radical yarfy has been il power in the
Legislature of this State It has shamefuily
disfranchised the Democracy in every ap-
portiounlent bill, whether Congressional
or State, which it became it's duty under
tho law 10 enact. Hon. Cyrus L. Perish
ing, now President Judge Of SchuylLill
county, but then the Representative from
this county, asserted in bis place in the
Assembly in 1864, when the Senatorial |
and Legislative apportionmcnt bill of that
year WAS under consideration, that it was
SO infamous and u5just in its character
that no Republican member could vote for
j. without committing moral perjury. Mr..
Pershing was truthful and an honest
man. The same game OF political fraud
and injustice has been practiced by tho
Radical majority ever since. One year
ago the State was required to be &stricted
into Congressional districts. Harry White,
who was n member of the Senate and who
wanted to go to Congress, made and with
the aid Of certain Democrats in that body
who also had their own political axes to
grind, passed Congressional apportion-
mcpt bill. That that bill was outrageous
and iniquitous is not denied. White made
his own district to secure his own election,
as he then supposed. That district two
years ago gave Hartranft majority over
Buckalew of ., G13, and at the late election
White was defeated by George A. jerks,
young but active Democrat of jefferson
county, by over 500 majority. There was
no district in the State in which such su-
perhuman efforts were made te elect a can
didate as in Whites. He had OK rolsts.

brought Governor Hartlanft into his coun-

Democratic candidate (Jenks) from Brook
vile, was triumpbantly elected, because
tue people believed him TO be an honest
man and White q finished demagogue.

lr seems that Grant, vithstanding
the recent overwhelming expression Of
opinion against his administration, has not
abandoned his idoa of third term. In
late conversation hs is reported as having
said that in South Carolina, where the Re
publican State Convention, tconposcd of
majority of negroes and carpet baggers)
passed n resolution endorsing him for n
third term, the people sustained its action
by elesting it's nominee, Chamberlain, to
the Office of Governor. This 10 true and w.
doubt not the dominant party in that plua-
dered and oppressed State would vote to
elect him to third or any other number
of terms. But the country is against the
project, and if Grant cannot realize ths
meaning of the late elections hs has not
the political sagacity Which his frisnds
claim for him.
