to the railroads his suits in courts tell the
tale.
Against Mr. Tilden there is more that
might be said, but our article is already too
long. Enough however, has been said to show
the difference of status between the two great
parties The one brings forth candidates
invulnerabe to the assaults of the opposi-
ton, and assailable only through malicious
invention; the other presents men who are
reeking with corruption as their records show,
and who are only at all presentable when
disguised in the false pretense of reform. 1t
would be libel on the people to even insinu-
ate that they could be induced to cast their
votes for two such glaring political frauds as
have been presented for their support by the
Democratic party.

ss@ The Luzrene county Democrats have
nominated ticket which is nothing if not
Democratic. One of the nominees for Con-
gress is accused of selling justice, and the
other is a demagogue Of the first water Its
candidate for prothonotary is under indict-
ment for tampering with election papers off,
cially under its charge, and its candidate for
clerk of the Courts is Secretary of one of the
lodges of the notorious 'Mollie Maguires I"
The whole ticket is Of such bad rupute that
the Democratic papers of that county are
ashamed of it and do not hesitate to say so.

had bitter experience in 1861 as to how
they could use their power.
The safe way only is to trust the govern
ment in the hands of men who saved it, and
not to the men who did their utmost to de-
stroy it. With Hayes and Wheeler we are
certain of an honest, upright, patriotic
administration with Tilden and Hendricks,
nobody can tell what we are sure of, except
ing the one great fact that the South will
have controlling influence instead of the
North. Now, word concerning the lie that
does not hurt the Republican party. A
Democratic House of Representatives, con-
tanning sixty-four Rebel Soldiers among
its members, with unlimited power and all
the money in the United States at their dis
posal have been for months engaged in
Investigating" the Republican administra-
ton; time and money have been lavished,
witnesses brought from everywhere regardless
of cost, and after thirty-three seperate
distinct investigations what has been the re-
suit? Sixteen years of Republican rule and
not one dollar has the United States Treasury
lost, and Republican Treasurers have been
proued to be positively Honest. AS further
result Of all this investigation, one man
only has been convicted of bribery, Belknap,
and laughable as it is he 10aS Democrat.
Babcock possibly might have been convicted,
but unfortunately behind him was host of
whiskey stills, all Democratic so to convict
Babcock would necessitate the conviction of
a great number of Democrats whiskey defen-
ders Whiskey! the very word smells Of
Democracy. So, shoot off your corruption
gun as much as you please-it makes some
noise and a little smoke, but it has MT yet hit
any Republican, they are entirely out of
range, the only effect it has had is to knock
down Democrats, and they fall before it in
the front and it kicks them down in the rear.

WHEN Democrats blow around about the
frauds, corruptions and stealings praticed
under Republican administration, it is a good
thing to ask them how it comes that these
were practiced under the administrations of
Jackson, Van Buren, Polk, Pierce and
Buchanan to much greater extent with out
a Democratic lip being opened for their con-
demnation. 1t is also good thing to ask
them whether it is greater crime to steal
1926 to the ZOO under an expenditure
of thousands of millions rendered necessary
by Democratic rebels, than to steal Sll. Sc to
the 81, 900 in time of peace, an when only
ordinary revenues for the ordinary expendi-
lures of the government, were collected. Yet
the records prove this to be just the differ
ence between Republican and Democratic
stealing, and the proportion would be still
less against the Republicans, but for the fact
that the thieves with hardly an exception,
received their early instruction in the ranks
Of the Democratic party.

On Wednesday last, John Gardner,
Sheriff, of Warren county, n. j., accom-

E. Moon, of Belvidere, arrived in town in
search of goods stolen some time ago from
Jones store at Oxford, N. D., and secreted
in Henry Kautz' woods by one Berry, alias
Keller, who is now serving out two years
sentence in the Trenton pepitentiary for said
oifense. They proceeded to the spot indicated
by Berry, west about forty yards from
Kautz's pond and one hundred yards from
McMichaels creek, when they soon succeeded
in unearthing satchel containing two pieces
of cassimer, one of cloth and a few small
articles. Further search revealed the hiding
place of another bundle containing one pair
Of new boots, lot of old clothes, one small
pistol, lot of buck-skin gloves, and double
barrel shot gun, ammunition, &c Search
was made for this satchel in hopes that they
might contain some evidence that would lead
to the arrest and conviction of the parties
that murdered Adam Ball, near Oxford, n.
j., early last spring

One Of the planks of the ST. Louis plat
form condemns the Republican party for its
heavy grants Of lands to the railroad com
panies. Thomas \. Hendricks was Senator
for six years, and advocated and voted for
every land grant that came up during his
term. He was especially warm in his ad-
vocacy Of and earnest in his voting for the
granting of 80 600, 900 of acres Of the public
lands in one batch to one Of the Pacific rail
roads. Did the convention mean to rcbuke
its own candidate for the vice presidency for
his prodigality?

one of our milkmen, stopped in front of HofF-

TURNING THE TABLES.

The John Voltz who went bail at Wash
ington for II. F. Somerville, the New
York lawyer, when the latter was in
dicted with Babcock for completely in
the safe burglary conspiracy, has just
for Somerville that he owned certain pro.
perty in New York, which it now turns
out he did not. He has been tried in
New York for perjury, and the jury found
him guilty. Somerville, it will be remem
bered, was tried Jointly with Babcock
and both of them were acquitted. Vol7
being tried under circumstances that die
not render it necessary to rely upon the
testimony of accomplices, Jared worse
and the fact that he was defended by
Somerville does not seem to have helped
his case. But the curious fact remains
that whilst Somerville, the principal il
the transaction, escapes in Washington
Volz, the tool of Somerville, is punished
in New York.
