~they were bitterly hostile to the
greenbucks when this great fight took
place for making therA part of the
financial circulation. These facts
should be remembered by citizens
who desire to become the tools OF
demagogues."
The Boston Herald says: We have
not had an opportunity to sign the
humble petition to General Butler,
asking him to run for Governor. II
1t will do anything toward inducing
him to run, our signature shall not
be withheld. We want to see him in
the field-frse because it will enliven
an otherwise stupid campaign, and,
secondly, because We hope he will
unite all the political monstrosities
into one body and give us a chance
to help put head on it." Besides,
Ben has spoken for his epitaph, and
We want him to be enjoying it.
The Republican majority on the Con.
gressioual vote in Colorado was 1856 in
1872 and 99S in 1876. In 1874 the
Democrats sent their representative by
2l63 majority, and in 1876 the Repub-
licans elected Governor BY SSS ma
jority. The present Legislature has
twenty-seven Republican majority on
joint ballor. At the last election
Judge Belford, q native Of Lewistown,
Mlffin county, in this State, was elect
ed to Congress, but was deprived of his
seat by the Democratic majority in the
House, and saw it given to I. II. Pat
terson. That act has been properly
criticised in Colorado, where Judge
Belford has been renoninsted by ac-
ciamation, aud a canvass is proceeding
that, animated by the injustice done
the State and the indIgniiy perpetrated
on the Representative and party, prom
ises the election Of Judge Belford by a
majority that the House aod the Dem
ocratic party will be forced to respect.
The election occurs on the first Tues
day in October, and Its course is appar
emily indicated in the nomination.

papers outside this State may profit

sylvania we're never more heartily uni
ted and harmonious than they are to-
day 2, That General Henry NJ. Hoyt
has the enthusiastic support Of the
Pennsylvania Republicans 8, That
be was the choice not only of the lead
ers, but also of the masses of bis party
for the nomination 4, That no move
ments of the Opposition, whether they
call themselves Democrats, lndepen-
dents or Nationals, can divert the
Pennsy ylvania Republicans from their
allegiance and devotion to the candi-
dates of their party 5, That the Re-
publicans of Pennsylvania are able to
elect General Henry NJ. Hoyt Cover
nor. and will do it.-Wilkes6arre Re

The Pottsville Journal is of the
opinion that the Nationals will poll a
light vote, the object of the Democ-

cheat both Republicans and Nationals.
Is this not the purpose Of the same
party everywhere'
Mr.. Wertner, the candidate for
