Democracy In RichIand Township
ASpicy Letter from tho Officers OF
the TiIden and Hendricks Club.
RICHLAND DISTRICT, )

Editors of the Register:
My attention was called to notice in
the daily papers, of u challenge from a
HAYES and Wheeler club of this district,
to the Tilden and Hendricks club, for \
ioint discussion of the issues of the day,
the gentlemen to be Messrs. Barr and
Dovener. Now let me first state that
neither the presiding officer nor any other
officer of the Tilden and Hendricks club
knew anything Of this. We advise all
to pay no attention to any such chal-
lenge, unless sent through the proper
channel. And in the next place, there
is 40 Hayes and Wheeler club in the dis.
trict that we know OF. Well, on rchec-
tion there is enc, and he Is
presiding officer, and Secretary
and Executive Committee. In fact,
he has resolved himself as a committee
on the hole that is, the grave they are
digging for themselves in October. We
have club here, we'll organized and
ready for work, and any communication
addressed 10 the proper officers will meet
with prompt attention. The Rads can
not muster enough voters in this district
10 get up meeting, ana have to resort
to some kind of tricks to catch the un-
wary, The party who does a! this chal-
longing knows very well who are the
officers of the Democratic club, and why
did he not send his challenge through the
club? There may be some hanging on
the fence, as he says, but l think when
they hear a discussion of how his party
has mismansged the affairs Of thrir
country, they will fall over the fence
into the arms of the Democracy. Al,
Mr.. HAYES and Wheeler club, you can't
20 to town and concoCt your schemes,
thinking to catch u. asleep; we sleep
with one eve open, and you could
not bring BIoody-Shirt Dovener out
here 10 rehash his story about Rebel
pensioners and Confederate war debts.
He will have to go up to Liberty Dis
trict and tell that to his colored friends,
for no one in Richland believes any such
bosh, unles; it is MIR. Hayes and Wheeler
club himself But if the Republicans
what few there are of them want to
hear the truth and be convinced Of the
errors of their ways, we are ready any
time to discuss the question with them,
but they must send their challenge to
Headquarters. Let any one Of them 60
to the Democratic headquarters, and he
will soon find out who to address 8 COM
nunication to.
In conclusion, we would say that as
Mr.. Barr is supposed to be free man,
he can meet Mr.. Dovener and have his
talk, but this club has nothing whatever
. to do with it, and we think Mr.. Barr can
take care of himself.
.M.CLARKE, A NJ JACOB,
Secretary President.
A.D. GARDEN, Chairman Of Er. Com.

The Police Raid a Church.

New YORK, Sept. IA shor! time
ago the PoiIsh Catholic Church with Rev.
Adelberg Millensky, pastor, was estab.
lished at 3l4 Henry street. In the rear
of the church a room was fitted up for
fairs and balls, the proceeds of which, it
is alleged, went to the support of the
services in the church. On Thursday
night Of each week a ball was given,
admission ten cents. The people of the
neighborhood decided that the place was
nuisance, and its abatement was
ordered, and so last evening
when the young people had gathered
in force, and lager was flowing freest
and fun was most yociferous, detach-
ment OF police made descent upon the
place and captured forty.ave young men
and twelve girls, about hundred man
aging TO make their escape. The prison
ers were all marched TO the station house,
Rev. Adelbert at their head This morn
ing all were released except the pastor.
The other Catholic cIergymen in the
neighborhood have frequently denounced
the hall, AID prohibited the young people
from attending.

PHILADELPHIA, September l5.-At the
Centennial grounds yesterday, at P. NJ,

cash receipts being over $4,000.

| with them to their homes, and there
determine TO vote the ticket, the whole
Democratic ticket, "Holus Bolus Bones
and all" This was no time for dissension
no time for scratching. Vote for the
Democratic party and its standard bear
ers, and peace and plenty would prevail
the blessings guaranteed us BY the con.
stitution would be ours, and We would
be one people united in the bonds OF
friendship never again to be divided.
General BoURKE was followed by Mr..
CRACRAFT in speech we'll calculated to
arouse his hearers to their whole duty,
and which fired them with enthusiasm.
He proposed to them mathematical
proposition. That if in three hours, three
thousand Democrats could be gotten to-
gether, how mdny would assemble in
three days? He amused them with many
anecdotes appropriate to the issues be-
fore them, and put them all in good
humor.
He was followed by Secretary of
State, Mr.. HEDRIcK, who made short
but telling speech in favor of TILDEN,
HENDRICKS and REFORM.
Then, after three hearty cheers for the
national ticket; three more for the state
and whole county tickets-no scratching
the large and most orderly assemblage
dispersed.
We say it, without hesitation, that no
such meeting, on such small notice was
ever before held in this county. 1t
speaks well and honestly for the intense
interest felt by the voters in the coming
contest. 1t is enough to make every man
interested in a change of government; in
favor OF honesty, retrenchment and re-
form, take fresh heart. And that the
result now anticipated will be realized in
October and November, there can be no
shadow of a doubt.
