The Election and Governor
EzaTtrdEift.

On next Tuesday the 2J Of November will
be election day, when a Governor, State
Treasurer and State Senator will be chosen
for the ensuing three years The nominee
for Governor stands high as an executive off
Ger, aud seldom has any mans claims for a
reelection to any Office been stronger Three
years ago, when Governor Hartranft was first
nominated, such a torrent of malicious abuse
Was let loose upon him, that his friends were
aiAost ashamed to own that they were
,soing TO vote for him. But the smoke of
base defamation has cleared away, and leaves
a man III the executive chair of our State OF
whom his political friends are justly proud,
while his political opponents instinctiyely re-
speet and honor him, lie merits re-eIec-
ton, and every circumstance surrounding the
eavass indicates that he viii receive a hand
some majority If his friends dc thc;r iudiyi-
dual end collective duty.
But little more than three days remain to
scatter the tickets and getthe voters ready for
voting Let these be wisely spent, and cleo
zion day viii tell q pleasant tale
The soft money, rag money, or anything
to-win Democracy, deserve this much atten-
ton at TIE bands Of all honest aud intelligent
voters, and we hope none such will with
hold freia them their proper deserts.

Fourteen millions Of the State debt have
been paid off by the Republicans during
the fourteen years they have had control
of the finances of Pennsylvania-just about
one million of dollars per year. During
The preceding Democratic rule the debt was
not reduced, but was steadily increased, al
though the taxes were heavy. But the
Republicans have not only cut down the
State debt with great rapidity, but have
also abolished the State tax on real estate,
imposed by the Democratic party to meet
the consequences Of its own extravaganza.
The continued ascendaucy of the RepubG-
cans in the State is therefore demanded by
every consideration Of economy.

THE horses, cattle, pigs, chickens, Sc,
in the rear of certain ''shoticary pop
down town, through the grand oratorical
eloquence of young law student, rehearsing
a political speech last Sunday, which is to be
delivered in jackson some day this week,
were converted to the ranks of the democracy.
The inspiration of patriotism they received
from his eloquent appeal vanished soon after
he 'vamoused." Now they hang their heads
and wear sad and detected smile to think
that they were banboozled' only for the
time being, by this galvanized" republican
who no doubt at no distant day will be an
aspirant for political honors.

Since 1868 the State of Pennsylvania
has been carried six times by the Republi-
cans and once by the Democrats. In 1868
the Republican majority for President was
2S, ,S98; in 1860, 1856 in 1870 there was
no State ticket, but the general majority
was Republican in 1871 it was 1896 F.;
in 1872 it was 81, ,627 for Governor and
49, us for President in 1873 it was 25,-
233 and in 1874 there was Democratic
majority of 1879. The aggregate vote this
year viii probably be nearly 100000, and
the Tribune predicts that Hartranft's ma
jority, at a moderate estimate, will be about
$4,000.

Republican nominee for state
Senator.

Our Republican friends have put in nomin-
alton for State Senator, Mr.. WILLIAM c.
MORRIS, JR, of Mauch Chunk, who is
Cashier for the Lehigh Valley Railroad Co.
Mr. NORRIS, we are informed, stands high
OF as well among Democrats as Republicans
for honesty, capacity and energy.
We could have wished that he had been
put into the field at an earlier date; but re-
pining never pays. Hence the only proper
thing we can do is to do the best we can un-
der the circumstances. We hope our friends
throughout the county will bestir themselves
aad get out a full vote for our nominee.

And California, Too !

California, it seems, has just wheeled into
line again as a Republican, State, electing
the Republican candidate for Superintendent
of Public Schools by very decisive major
jty. There was no independent move
ament, this time, to distract the voters, and
the people of California have thus demon
strated that, cn q clear issue, they are Repub-
lican This adds another State to the
Republican pyramid.
