A controversy il going on in Lancaster,
Pa. as TO whether the Republicans, at meeting
held there last week, did OF did not show their
Adherence Of the Roman Catholic religion by
taking crosses and hcadboards from Catholic
graveyard and piling them on bonfire in front
of their gathering on Poplar street. The Lam
caster Htclligcnccr published the statement on
the authority OF the wife and daughter Of
GEORGE HARMON, the sexton Of ~. Joseph 5
Church. The Republican newspapers denounced
the story as an infamous lie. 1t turns out, how
ever, that some Of the crosses and beadboards
are missing that they were in the graves ard on
the day preceding the meeting, and were miss
ing after the meeting, an 4 that during the meet
Ing many persons, men and boys. were about the
IRE and some in the graveyard. II is difhcult to
imagine that partisan hate could so so far as to
desecrate the graves Of the dead, but the allega-
tion seems TO be sustained, and, after all, It is
ONLY carrying to an extreme the vampire Xix e
policy Of the managers Of the HAYES campaign.

Mr.. CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMs's letter of
acceptance Of the nomination for the Office OF
Governor Of Massachusetts,, short as IT h., en-
braces two points Of great pith and moment.
In the first place, he recognizes the nomination
as having been rendered to him by "a conven-
ton of voters Of Massachusetts opposed to the
present administration Of national aud state
affairs" This is both wise and accurate. The
bond that unites Democrats and Liberal tepub-
lioans in an effort to purify the administration
Of public nilirs Is opposition to their present
Administration and Of this union Mr. ADAMS
Is most lifting representative. In tho next
place, MIR. ADAMS has expressed, in ono brief

which should lead any man, as they have led
him, 10 support TILDEN in preference to HAYES.

lively, but actually, eight hundred and

of the expense OF running the machine OF

1t is easy to understand, in presence of
these facts, how the number of officehold-

No comment is needed TO enforce these
astounding figures. They speak with em-
