RALLYING.-The Radicals who but
a little while ago were respondent con-
corning the future of their party, have
recovered their confidence. Mrs. jerks
has come to the resc ne and by the use
ofa yoluble tongue and a lively imagi-
nation has saved the party 80 as to en-
able it to stand up for one more cam
palgn. The party obligations to jerks
cannot be exaggerated.
Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1878-07-03

AN ORIGINAL IDEA.-The Philadcl.
phi Tines suggests that "all future
Republican State Conventions should
give Mrs. jerks the job Of making
their platforms. She would be sure to
get in something fresh and cxoncrate
the administration both at once"
More The same journal adds "Mr.
jerks hau 80 tenderly taken the Re.
publican party under hor wing, that It's
very nearly a party necessity that she
should succeed Mr.. 2. Chandler as
Chairman Of the National Committee.
What a campaign she would makel"

WELL SITUATED.-The Senatorial
district composed OF the counties Of
Cameron, Clarion, Elk and Forest, are
fortunately situated. The district is
strongly Democratic, and each county
presents a candidate. We have been
personally acquainted with Hon. John
G. Hall, who is presented by Elk
county, and Hon. r. B. Brown, OF
Clarion, and we would like to see both
in the Senate. But as this is impossi.
bic at this time, we hope the Confer
ence will act with an eye to the com
mon good of the party in making its
selection, caring nothing about the
individual claims OF the several con-
testauts. This we do know, that II
either of the above named are nomi-
mated, the district will be ably and
honestly represented.

DILL's SuocEssoR.--Hon. George A.

portion Of the past two weeks in this

made one OF the best members that

UNcoMPLIMENTARY.-The Prescott,
Arizona, Enterprise, speaking of the
appointment of John c. Fremont as
Governor of that Territory, says ut
looks as if Mr.. Hayes believes that al
most any hungry oaice-seeker is good
enough TO rule over Arizona" That
remark is rather rough on the first
candidate Of the Republican party for
President of the United States.

A GOVERNMENT THIEF RoBBED.-A
Washington telegram says at turns
out that Isaiah Hanscom did have
.forty-eight thousand dollars worth Of
bonds stolen from his house, in Wash
lngton, a few days ago. So clever a
constructor as he should have kept his
securities in a safer place, but the most
interesting question connected with
this business is, how a poor but honest
officer, with nothing but his salary TO
keep his family on, came to have so
much money to invest" Hanscom was
the Grant Robson Naval constructor
for eight years, at a salary of $1,000
per annum. He spent $4,000 a year,
and now has $4,000 worth of bonds
stolen, and bis friends claim hat he
was an honest man and a No. | officer.
1t is evident that his requirements
were very great.

No man worthy the Office Of President should
be willing to hold II II counted in, or placed there
by auy fraud. U, 5. GRAsr;
I could never have been reconciled to the eie-
walton BY the smallest aid Of mine Of a person,
however respectable 10 private life, who must
forever carry upon bis brow the stamp Of fraud
frst triumphant in American history. No sub
sequent action, however meritorious, can wash
away the letters Of that record.
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.
Under the forms Of law, Rutherford b. Hayes
has been declared President Of the United States.
Ills title rests upon disfranehisemcnt Of lawful
voters, the false certificates Of the returning Off
GERS acting corruptly, and the decision Of a com
mission which has refused to hear evidence Of al
legged fraud. For the first time are the American
people confronted with the fact Of fraudulently-
elected President. Let II not be understood that
the fraud will be silently acquiesced in by the
country. Let no hour pass In which he usurpa-
tion Is forgotten.
