A PLAIN SrArEMESr.-Tbc New
York Times is the highest Radical au.
thority in this country, and the editor
states tho case in this way "Thc Ma.
tional party is almost an unknown
quantity, so far as the results Of tho
Congressional elections are concerned,
and the Republicans should treat 1t as
an enemy with whom no compromise is
10 be made"

EXACTLY The Harrisburg Patriot
in alluding to the 100000 robbery Of
State bonds, says; ut must have been
known to Henry d. Moore, the Re-
publican State Treasurer who succeed
cd Henry s. Magraw, that his prede-
cessor received $4,000 on account OF
the 100000 in bonds left with the
Girard Bank by Treasurer Bickcl
when be went ont of Office. Why did
not Henry d. Moore require the Gil
rard Bank to return the bonds or ac-
count for them when be found that it
failed to report to him the sale of any
of them?"

Radical State Convention met at Co.

fraud, murder and intimidation during
the election of 1876, and says that

impossible for Republicans to vote

100000 DROPPED OUT OF

extent Of 100000, are now IN the
hands of innocent holders. The Bucks
county htelligneer publishes the de-
tails, and it is possible that their au-
thority may be Attorney General Lear;
1T appears that IN the year 1852 the
Legislature authorized loan OF ST..
100000 to meet the financial necessl-
ties OF the times, which were then very
pressing This was found TO be not
sufficient, and at the next session an
additional loan CT s5O0,O00 was author
lied. The bonds of the last issue were
dated August l, 1853, and were paya-
bic in twenty-five years. VIM. Blgler
was Governor and John VI. Bickel
State Treasurer at that time, and all
the bonds were duly signed by them.
1t turned out that the whole amount
of money for the last issue of soOo,ooo
was not required, and after s4OOV0O
bad been sold the remaining 100000
were loft in the possession of The Girard
bank, in Philadelphia, which was then
the financial agent OF the State. In
process of time the State officers were
changed and no one remembered the
fact that 100000 of regularly. signed
but unissued bonds were in existence.
They remained in forgetiulness until
within few months, when the Treas
ury officials became aware that they
had somehow gotten into the market
and were likely to be presented for re-
demption On the 1st of August a
number of bonds, amounting in value
TO $4,000, were presented at the Treas
ury, they being due and payable on
that day. The question as to whether
they should be recognized or not was
submitted by Mr.. Noyes to the Attor-
ney General, and that officer has ad-
vised their payment on the ground that
they are genuine bonds, now in the
hands Of innocent holders. How they
ever got out of the custody of the bank,
and INTO the possession of outside par
ties, is yet a deep mystery. 1t is said
that the bank ledger containing the
record Of bonds disposed of under this
loan has disappeared. No coupons be-
longing to the over issue of bonds have
ever been presented for payment, and
their appearance for redemption is the
first tangible evidence of their exist.

Gratis will be led in 1880 by Senator
Thurman. AT q recent meeting he
declared there was no danger of Til
den's nomination. He thought the
mention of his name before Demo

misses. He claimed that the next

witness the complete triumph Of the
Democratic party by the election of a

HORRIBLE DEA TN.


George W. Malone, the night yard de
spatcheroft the Cleveland and Pittsburg
railroad, met with horrible death on
the morning ofihc sth inst in the com.
=, ,sl qN peeaaxsrne !,appss.:
that Mr Malone was assisting in un.
coupling freight train on the railroad
bridge at tho Piltsburg side, when his
foot is supposed to have been caught
between the rails and the planking of
the walk. The result was that fourteen
freight ears and the engine passed over
his body, literally grinding II into an
unacceptable mass. The accident
occurred about o'clock in the morning,
The deceased's father is an old engin-
Ger on the road. Tho deceased was a
young man of about 20 years of age
and unmarried.
The Johnstown Tribune relates the
following; A most terrible and shock
ing accident happened at the rolling
mill of the Cambria iron works at
Johnstown on the 9th, and the details
are of the most awful description.
The Tribune says that Cloyd L. Della.
ny, who was in his 18th year, was en-
ployed at the "run-out hook" on the
finishing side of the rolls, in the old mill.
Shortly before 3 o'clock he lay down
on bench which is close TO the en-
gine, while the engineer worked part
of the turn for him. After the usual
spell, which lasts about twenty min
utes, the sleeping man was called up
and instead of making his way around
the ponderous wheel he deliberately
walked toward it, and fell between two
of the arms, or spokes. 1t was re-
volving very rapidly, and in the twink
ling of an eye his Mortified fellow work
men saw the mutilated and dismem-
bered body shooting upward from the
opposite side.
They noticed one Of his legs flying
at an angle in the direction of the place
where he fell against the wheel, and
the other striking steam pipe some
fifteen feet overhead. They also saw
the body shoot almost perpendicularly
upwards and the intestines stringing
out tfrom the bowels and lappingar
the iron braces of the roof. Then they
heard dull thud on the iron floor as
the mangled, bleeding form came
down, and they saw the brains of the
poor fellow scattered around. With
the exception of his face, which escap-
ed with two very slight bruises, there
was scarcely a sembance of anything
human about the corpse. His fellow EN-
ployes gathered up the scattered limbs
and entrails as best they could, and plac.
ing the dismembcred parts on a
strctcher the remains were conveyed
to the undertaking establishment Of
Mr.. James, on Clinton street where
they were placed in coffin.

this way
Tho sum Of $4,000 was appropriated
for the purpose of paying the expenses
of issuing new loan in 1877. From
the Auditor Generals office wc learn
that Of this sum s7s4.ee were paid for
engraving bonds and s765.20 for ad-
vcitising the loan, This would leave
a balance Of s950,OO, and this amount
is receipted for by the four Treasury
Clerks, Mossrs. Cotton, Eagap, hoii-
man and Hart, "ior clerical service in
connection with the issue of new five
per cent loan.' As these gentlemen
were already receiving sufficient and
ample salary, and as but one or two
did any Clerical work in connection
with the matter (and even what was
done was but lttlc), the transaction
has at last queer look. Nine hun
drcd and fifty dollars ought to pay for
considerable extra clerk hire. But il
is broadly asserted that the three first
named clerks received none of the
money, and the fact that separate
vouchers We're not gwen, the whole
four having signed u single receipt,
looks very much as though this money
was pilfered and used for the personal
pui1'dses of some one about tffe lftfs-
ury. Or was il Gas some assert) used
to swell the Republican election fund
of last year,
This latter is probably the correct
conclusion, for Of all the enormous
sums spent upon elections by the Re

some form piliered from the State and

SUGGESTIONS TO TAXPAYERS.

The Republicans claim to be the party of
Retrenchment and Reform. They always
did, but gave US more of the "bloody shirt"
and sensational claptrsp than what they
claimed to reprc sent. Let us see.
l. 1t was the Republican party that in
creased the pay of President, (under Grant
from $50, 900 to 100000 per year, and of
the Governor of Pennsylvania from IS 900.
to $4,000. The former sums were deem
sufficient in war times for Lincoln and Cur.
tin, but not enough for Grant and Hayes, nor
for Hartfanft.
2 The accession of Democratic Con-
gress in 1876 led to reduction of $40, 900, ;
600 in Federal expenditures, and but for the
opposition of Republican President and
Senate the reduction would have reached
~, 900, 900, more, or $3.50 for every man
woman, and child in the nation.
8. A Democratic Congress cut down use.
less ofices-an army of political parasites
numbering 10000, and cut down their sal.
aries.
4. The Democrats ferreted out corruption
and inefiiciency wherever found, drove high
officials from position who were found guilty
Of malfeasance in Office and of gross corrup
tion but each step towards reform and the
correction Of abuses, was met at each steT
BY opposition from the Republican party
and press.
All these facts show that the Democratic
party is for purity and reform, and should be
supported by the tax payers and masses.
