istration of the affairs of our State, and
its strong denunciation of the "attempt
to debauch the Legislature by whole.
sale bribery and corruption on the part
of Republican leaders" and the scorn.
ful rejection by the other of a resolu
ton denouncing the corrupt practices
in conuection with the riot bill" and
demanding "honcst men in oilicc-mcu
with brains enough TO know dishon-
"csty when they see it, and courage
"enough to fight it whcresoeyer they
"hnd it, ought to be a sufficient reason
for every man, who desires an honest
official, to support the Democratic can.
didate for State Treasurer of our
candidate,
DANIEL o. BARR,
others have said, "IIe is noted for his
quickness of intellect, activity in what
ever he undertakes, unimpeachable
honesty, courteous manners and great
kindness of heart"
"Mr. Barr is in all respects most
"creditable candidate for State Treasu.

"ness relation, and personally blamelcss

mess for the responsible trust will not
"be questioned by friend or foe"
The Farmers Adtorlic said 1--WE place
"at the head of the Adrotaic the name
"of d. o. Barr, of Allegheny, for State
Treasurer. This we do after knowing
that Mr.. Barr will under any and all
circumstances, IL elected, conserve the
"intercsts of the State and the people,
"and not rings and cliques--and now
"we ask all, without regard to party
affiliations, who cherish public and
"private integrity, to prepare to give
"Mr. Barr their hearty support"
The same Mr. Barr TO whom this ties.
timony is borne was, in early life, a
laborer on railroad, afterwards a tele.
graph operator, and who by diligence,
hard labor, honesty and integrity in afl
his relations has qualified himself well
for the high position for which he has
been nominated, and TO which we hope
he shall be elected
The man who from his past record is
most likely to fairly and honestly con.
troll the finances of the State, who will
be by his integrity, rs well as by his
high pledges given, above the control
and influence Of the rings, cliques, and
a corrupt lobby, is the one who should
receive your votes, regardless Of what
may have been his or your previous
party predictions.
The refusal of the Convention that
nominated Mr.. Bars opponent, TO de-
nounce corrupt practices, and endorse
the nomination of honest men for of
fice," warrants the conclusion that
should he be elected IL will be but Civ.
ing the ring and the lobby control Of
the treasury Of the State.
Rebel Brigadiers, however much our
Republican friends may lash themselves
into foam and sweat over them, have
nothing TO do with the election of a
Treasurer in Pennsylvania. The whole
question is, Vhether you shall have a STATE
Treasurer, for he Hert hOo years, who shall,
honestly admiHiSter and seylgpuIousiy care for
he money Of he people that shall pas
through hiS hands, or whether you shall
have for Treasurer a creature of the
lobby's convention, and restoration
of all the pcculations and evils prac.
ticed upon the treasury Of the State
before the adoption of the Constitution
of 1873.
The County Committee has done and
will do all il can till the close of the
polls on the evening of the 4th Of No
vember, to have n full vote polled.
Much rests with the individual voter
His patriotism, love of good govern.
ment, desire for relief from the evils of
misrule and bad government should
impel him to poll his vote. The com.
mittees in the several districts are ure.
cd to be active in the discharge OF the
duties enjoined upon them. When this
Is done, let the result be what 1t may,
the Democrats of Centre county will
