Christ said, 1.-The poor ye have with yc
always" and He commended such I" the
benevolent regard Of the affluen,, but He
did not intend to include in that class
every bcggar who seeks his li'ing from
door to door, for halt of them are able t.
earn their own bread. Nor did lie tx.
tend His sympathy I" those professional
mrndicants whose sole purpose it Is 10
subsist by the sweat If other brows than
their own. Such lie denounced as i'm.
posters. and unworthy either of the aid
or the confidence If good men. Akin to
this class il that man who makes it his
business to beg for office. Having through
sympathy been supported while at the
public soup trough, he forms IN appetite
for tina, kind Of diet. and thereafter he
wants nothing but official Stops. Let a
man Of ordinary spirit once taste the
bread II charity, and from that time for
ward he is an idler and = texgar: and so
i, is with him who gets office. Once hav
ing tasted the sweets "f public pap, he
has no appetite for any other food, aud he
will sacrifice independence, political opin.
ions. his selfrespect, and even his bodily
comfort rather than eat the bread which,
honorable labor supplies. How degrad-
ed must man he who, having enjoye'l
six years Of lucrative employment ut tie
han'ls Of the public. cries like baby
when he receives notice Ia quit, and then
becomes beggar in the common politi.
cnl mart for the poor privilege of roofing
among the ru's of office for 4 few more
crumbs. Poor Howe!

JCDGE HARTER.

The especial objective point of the de
mccracy-the particular item which they
most covet is the Probate Office. They
want it, first because it pays an annual
salary Of $500, and second. as al aid
to the newspaper upon which they Dc
pend for aid. They say they must have
the Probate Office" Well. now lct US see
whether they ought to have it or not
Geo. N. Cameron is their candidatc-he
is the candidate Of Hotchkiss, of Howe,
of Dave Mnllison, and Of Ben Carll-all
the opposition wan: Cameron. 1t don't
make any difference to Howe that the
candidate is democrat. f'r it is to such
that oilv Office seeker il looking for votes
10 keep himself in fit place. H"tch
kiss Supports Cameron from principle.
The old fellow was always himself dem
ccrat, and when lie has pretended to be
anything else, it has been only for the
purpose Of gaining some advantage by
his duplicity.
Judge Harter is plain uncs'erta'ioua
c:tizen-a man who had his origin among
the common people, and one who does
not assume to he above them, nor aspire
to be. He has good sense and indcpcnd-
ence, and he attends to the duties at his
Office faithfully. The party has ren"m'n-
atcd him b. cause he has been faithful.
Now We ask the honest hardworking
man whether he is not willing 70 cntrus,

in the hands Of cne who has been An
honest la:"rcr all his days? Such man

RlDICULOUS.

In country which employs the repre-.
sentative plan of government dominates
candidates, elects officers, makes and en-.
forces laws through persons specially de-.
cgated with power for that purpose. i,
is not only strange, but ridiculous 10 see
men ignore all the usual political agencies,
disregard the action Of parties and the ex-
pressed will of the people. and set them
selves up a. candidates and leaders. What
is known in this county rs the Gree nback
ticket" had not the authority Of dozen
citizens. In the face Of the usua, party
nominees they thrust themselves forward
and impudent,y claim to be regarded as
candidates! They G" from house t" house
disappearing and dcceiving the PIE"
pie. and in every way possible seek to
advance their personal interests. They
profess nothing new, and nothing COOL
they SEEK only votes. Such men are po
liticxl out.Ia and deserve only the con-
tempt Of all good citizens. lfthe public
could fully understand the motives which
actuated them. aud see the machin-
cry with which they perfo I'M their work,
not one Of them wonl6 get republican
vote. When men 60 to the polls on Tues
day. it should be with a determination to
stand by the nominees Of some regularly
organized and respectable party. In no
other course is there any safety. Then
cast no vote for Mollison. or Peck, or
Howe, or any other sorehead boiling can
didate. Stick to the republican ticket.

ROORRACRlS.

Thus far but little has occurred to ruf.
de the surface Of the political sea in this
county. The canvass has not been euer.
eetic-a, least not unusually noisy. The
opposition managers have regarded It ~
better for them to make but little demon
stra,ion. Any open warfare would u''t'
masely re.u;tin their certain defeat. There
Is but single chance f'r them to gain
success here, and they are cultivating that
one with anxious care. They are at work
in division Of fractions now, and If they
can only succeed in reducing all broken
republicans Peter Cooperites, Green
backers, Independents and boilers to 4
common denomination, they think will
be able to divide the republican party.
With this idea in view, they are travelling
alone or in pairs all over the county.
They study the history, and become H.
miliar with the social or the business dis.
pu,es Of each locality, and then shape
their stories to meet contingencies. In
one place they allege corruption "f the
candidates, in another incona-
potency, in another neglect Of business,
in another they assail character. In one
place they pander to the liquor element.
and In another to the religious character
istics of the community. Because thus
far the opposition newspapers have not
with cpithcts and villainous
it Is no sign that. such work
has been discarded by them. They are
doing it in an unusual way. and hence
there is greater need nf watcllfulness. The
Devil can appear as an angel Of light as
we'll a. in the form Of a dragon. and he
will d. 50 whenever it may hest subserve
his purpose. II is safe to believe nothing
tina, you hear Of a candidate for the tirsl
time during political campaign. 1t is
no doubt roorbacll. and should be dis.
regarded. Tell no stories and believe
none, should be the motto Of republicans
on election day.

CAUTION.

Republicans should be careful t. get
the ticket they want, and to vote it. An
effort will I've made to deceive all WHO
have not 60, good eyes. Tickets Of every
possible kind will be in circulation
tickets which are republican except one
or two names, and tickets with greenback
electors. and some republican Names
There will be no end 10 the variety. It
will be easy for every one to distinguish
the regular republican ticket from all
others, and all true men should vote tina:
without scratch. It 10 not time when
men may indulge disposition to be ca.
PRECIOUS in politics. When the nation is
struggling to maintain an existence. every
good citizen should reach fofth his hand
