ments have been perfected by the Off
GERS of the Central Dill Club Of this
place to have n delegation leave here
on Saturday morning next, the 26th
INST, to attend the grand Mass Meet.
ing at Philipsbprg, on that date We
understand that one hundred mounted
men in full wide.awal1e uniform, and a
detachment Of Light artillery accom-.
panied by the Citizens Cornet Band Of
this Borough, will leave the diamond
at 8 o'clock, a. M, sharp.
This is move in the right direction
and shows that the great Democratic
heart of Clearfeld county is beginlng
to pulsate, and proves that "our boys"
are in earnest, and are determined to
write victory on our banners on the
9th Of November.
We hope thataccessions will be made
to the delegation along the route. BY
a little cxertion on the part Of our
friends in Bradford, Boggs, Graham,
Morris and Decatur, hundreds can be
added to the column and delegation
enter Philipsburg that will do honor to
the Democracy of Clearfcld county.

Just what he refused to do. When he
says "the decision was reached upon

BLOOD MONEY.

An exchange says: "Of all the in
famous political bargains ever brought
to the light Of day, the trading OF the
Republican leaders, with Henry NJ.
Hoyt as Chairman of the State Com
mittee, for the Mollie Mcguire vote in
1875 TO secure the election of Hartranft,
is entitled to pre-eminence. The pay
ment of a sum of money, which was
disbursed through Gen Sigfried, OF
Schuylkill county. and immunity from
punishment for some Of The leaders Of The
MoLie Maguires, was the price of their
votes. How well the bargain was car.
riod out the election returns of 1873,
the records of the courts OF Schuylkill
county, and the immunity from pun
ishment of Jack Kehoe, all testify. An
attempt Is being made for a similar
trade this fall, in the interest of Gen.
Hoyt. But the fraudulent ana des-
perate scheme has thus early been ex-
posed and will certainly fail. All that
Hoyt and his managers will make by
this atrocious trick will be the humili-
alton and disgrace they deserve. II
decent Republicans mean to vote con-
sistently for Republican candidate for
Governor they had better recall their
convention and place another name at
the head of the ticket
"Gov. Hartranit was reelected in
1875 by combination with crime.
Gov. Hartranft has beenprompt enough
to sign the death-warrants Of the mis-
erable tools who did Jack Kehoe's bid
ding-but when it comes to Jack Ke-
hoe himself, he doesn't do it. For Jack
can tell the full story ii he will, and
that would defeat Hoyt and cover
Hartranft, Hoyt, and the traders in
murder of the Republican party, with
political defeat and eternal ignominy."
