or from other causes than those received at
the hands of James Giblin, and that il he
received any injuries from the hands oi
James Giblin they were not Of such ma.
ture as to cause any serious effect, and that
il he received any from Giblin it was in
self-defence, and that the Commonwealth
cannot prove afirmatively that blow given
by Giblin, if any, caused his death.

The Democratic Party Urged It.

Second. The Electoral Commission having
been created at the Urgent soliritifion OF
the Democratic party. and after oft-repeated
declarations OF it's leaders in both houses
Of Congress that no faction could cavil at
its decisions, We witness with profound as
tonishment the assaults OF that party upon
the august tribunal OF its own creation be-
cause its decisions disappointed their ex-
pectatIons OF official Patronage, which as
saulis- SO far as they seek To- Impair the
csnfidencs oi the people IN the just title OF
the President 10 his high office, are equally
childish and foolish, but may become ex-
tremely mischievous in assisting TO diminish
the popular respect for the decisions of law
ful tribunals.

THE following interesting particulars
of the tragedy In Rush county, lnd =,
were received on the 9th inst: The
robber was first met by Mrs. Bowling,
who heard noise in the kitchen aud
and went down stairs to ascertain
what the cause was. She rushed back
to her sleeping room, followed closely
By the man, who was armed with an
axe AID revolver
Here the thief made a demand upon
the aged couple for their money, struck
the old lady with his pistol aud knock
ed her down, brui-ing her face terribly
when she, to save her life gave up all
the money she had, but the old man
stoutly refused. The thief then pro
ceeded u search the house, aud order
ed them both up stairs before him still
keeping the axe and revoler, which be
fired three times in the house, in his
hands.
After rummaging through the rooms
up stairs he ordered the Ole gentleman
and lady down, still keeping them in
front OF him. tie then took them into
the parlor aud began to 60 through the
bureau. One dra Rer of this was hard
to open and he had to use both hands,
setting the axe down for that purpose.
Mr. Bowling, who was watching for
an opportunity, picked up the axe, and
with one we'll aimed blow nearly severed
the burglars bead from his body. The
old man and woman then went quietly
back to bed and slept until morning,
leaving the bloody corpse on the Anor
in front of the bureau. In the murn
ing, be went and tolG his son.
The Coroner was then sent for, and
when he arrived, late the next day, be
found the thief where the old man had
killed him, with his revolver still cock
ed and IN his hand, now cold and stiff
He had entered the house by knocking
the kitchen window in with an axe,
which luckily he kept with him until
the unguarded moment. The dead
body Of the robber was brought to
Rushville last night, and has been ly-
ing in the court house yard all day,
where it was seen by hundreds Of peo-
pie. Thus far it has not been identi-
fed.

Assist the Return of Prosperity.

Third. We respectfully but earnestly en-
treat all members of the National aud State
Legislatures to assist the return of pros
perity to this great country by adopting
such measures to that end as are in their
power; to devote less attention to partisan
strife and m are attention TO the business
interests OF the country, in order that wise
and proper laws may be passed to lessen
the burdens of labor and increase its re-
wards 10 encourage and restore TO activity
legitimate industrial enterprises, and to en-
able The country To find foreign market
for its surplus products and manufactures.

Difference Of Opinion Recognized.

First. While we recognize and respect
the disertce of opinion existing among us
as TO the course pursued by President
Hayes towards the South, we are in hearty
accord in hon ,ring the patriotic motives
which have guided him and in hoping that
the results of his policy viii be peace, COED
w:ll and the recognition of the equtl rights
OF all men in every section of the country,
and TO the efforts of his ad administration To
carry into effect the principles pf the plat
form upon which he was elected, We pledge
cur hearty and cordial support.

Afraid to Express a Decided 0pin-
ion on any Subject.

Tenth. That the Democratic party of
Pennsylvania is afraid to express decided
opinion on any question OF present poll ical
importance, except its open declaration in
favor of free trade, and that il still cherishes
the delusion that expressions of political
opinions ought either 10 mean anything or
nothing, as may best tend TO the restora-
ton of that party TO the control of the
Offices and the treasury Of the Common
wealth. We are confident that the intelli-
gent citizens OF this great tate will con-
tinuc TO intrust the conduct of its affairs to
the party which has been Jealous in the
NJ. intenance of its credit, vigilant in de-
tense of its honor, prompt in the enforce
ment of IiS laws, and whose past admins
tration OF its government has been honest
and competent ana fearlessly faithful to the
best interests Of all nell, of whatever class,
race or condition, within her borders.
Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1877-09-19
Protection to American Industry.

Eleventh. That we renew our oft-repeat-
ed declarations IN favor of adequate prutec-
ton to American industry, and, now that
manufacturers are languishing and working
men are out oil employment. the common
interest demands a still closer adherence TO
the protective policy which the Republicans
OF Pennsylvania nave always sustained.
The country has never yet prospercd under
free trade, as it never can or will, and as all
tariffs are levied primarily for revenue, it
would be a bad government which is not
just enough to its people TO arrange its rev.
enue imports SO as to encourage and build
up the growth of home man .factures.
Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1877-09-19
In Favor Of Double Coin Stan
dard.

Sixth. That the long and successful ex-
istence, under the laws OF Congress, of the
double coin standard warrants Us in demand
ing an early repeal Of the legislation which
demonetizcd silver and established an almost
exclusive gold standard, aud We therefore
favor a return "a the tree use and unrestrIct-
ed coinage of the dollar of 1893, and its
restoration TO the position it held As leg Al
tender during the eighty years of our
tional existence, thus preserving the equal
ity of the commercial value of the SILVER
dollar with the gold dollar, keeping both in
circulation
