all efforts OF this kind. There Is, however q

Tuesdays Elections.

Elections were held in the States of
Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia on
Tuesday. The result in Ohio is in
iayor of the Republicans as was ex-
pected and conceded by Democrats.
The latest dispatches from Indiana in
dicate the election of Landers and the
entire Democratic State ticket. West
Xzxzinia elects a Democratic Govern
- 1t is expected that the Democrats
I'll gain Congressmen in Indiana, and
4 Ohio will carry Republican districts.
Giving to the Republican gerrymander
n the latter State there will be a
change in the delegation in favor of
the Republicans. The Republicans
rain in the towns in both Ohio and
Indiana where the repeaters got in
their work, but in the farming dis
triets the Democrats make gains. The
rezult is gratifying to the Democracy
nd assures the success of Hancock.

THE candidate set up in opposition
to Gov. Curtin by the Republican
Congressional Conference of the Goth
district, which met at Lock Haven on
Friday last, is Thomas II. Murray
Esq, of Clear6eld. Mr.. Murray is a
lawyer by profession and a man of
some ability. He is a bitter and ma.
lignant politician and should not COM
mand a single Democratic vote in the
district. His speeches are extreme in
radicalism-the bloody shirt, ridicule
of the South and vile abuse of Demo
Gratis being the burthen of all he ut
ters. AT Lock Haven, and also at
Bellefonte, he had the monstrous au-
dacity to compare Gen. Hancock, the
hero and the patriot, to Benedict Ar
nold,. the traitor of the Revolution,
and man capable in a public speech
of an outrage so insulting to decency
and intelligence should be remember
ed and treated accordingly at the bal
lot box. Mr.. Murray will not repre-
sent the 10th district In Congress.

DEMOCRATS, whenever Republicans
talk to you about the tariff, and ask
you TO vote for Garfield on the ground
that he is tariff man and in favor of
protection, call their attention TO the
following facts in his record as a mem.
Der of Congress
IN 1866 he made speech in favor
of the British free trade system of
collecting import duties from as few
articles as possible, including, how.
ever, such articles as tea, coffee and
sugar. 1t was in consideration of the
doctrines advocated in this speech that
Mr.. Garfield was made an honorary
member of the British Golden Club.
In 1870 he said in a discussion with
Judge Kelley, of Philadelphia, upon
the question of the tariff that "As an
abstract theory of political economy
free trade has many advocates and
much can be said in its favor nor will
it be denied that the scholarship of
modern times is largely on that side
that a large mojority of the great
thinkers of the present day are leading
in the direction Of what is called free
trade"
In 1870 he voted to reduce the duty
on pig iron from SO per ton to 81 per
ton, which was direct vote against
protection and the iron producers of
Pennsylvania.
In 1871, he voted for n joint resolu.
ton which passed the house of repre-
sentatives providing that after its pas.
sage no tax or duty should be levied
or collected on foreign coal.
In 1872, he voted against the pro-
position to place tea and coffee upon
the free list, and in the same year vot.
ed for 4 ten per cent. reduction upon
wool, iron and steel, and upon all
manufactures Of iron and steel.
This Is the record. Read 1t, and
then say whether Garfield should be
classed a. q protectionist or free
trader.

fact. Had the same thing occurred

Gephart and Murray.

1t is most important that the voters
of Centre county should take care of
their legislative nominees. Without
considering either the personal worth,
stainless character or exceptional fit
ness of the gentlemen placed in nomi-
nation by the recognized authority of
the Democratic party, the great i'm.
portance Of the coming session of the
Legislature and its direct bearing
upon both National and State interests
should spur every Democrat in Centre
county to do all in his power to en-.
compass the success of J. 7. Gephart
and w. A. Murray. Perhaps there
never existed greater necessity for
Democratic ascendency in the law
making branch of the State govern
ment than now. The debauchery and
crime which follow obediently in the
wake of Republican domination has
deservedly made the very name of the
Pennsylvania Legislature a Kissing
and reproach. When sickening cor
ruption and venality held high carDi-
val in the halls of legislation, and
men, whose regulations were consid-
cred unassailable, yielded to the temp
ter and drank deep from the cup of
personal gain, our honored representa-.
tives came forth from the fiery furnace
of trial, without fear and without re-
proach. Every consideration of pub
lie concern demands their election,
and the voters of Centre county will
be untrue TO themselves and forgetful
of their real interests if they fail
to cordially and earnestly support
Messrs. Gephart aud Murray. They
have been weighed in the balance and
not found wanting, and considering
the peculiar relations that John 7.
Harris and w. j. Thompson bear to
the material iitsrcsts of the people, it
is hest to keep them as far removed as
possible from contamination with
what these aristocratic representatives
of Republican exclusiveness might
call-the masses. Our Republican
friends have only followed their gov.
erning instincts by placing in nomina.
tion these very clever gentlemen. w
simply recall the truth of history when
We say that the Republican party have
ever been careless Of the interests of
the people, and we are certain that in
all our county there can not be found
two men who are less interested and
acquainted with the necessities of the
people, than John Z. Harris and VIM.
j. Thompson.

Garfield and the Election Laws.

One of the most eloquent and tell
ing speeches ever made by Gen. Gar
field in Congress, remarks the Washing
ton Post, was his caustic review and
scathing condemnation of the election
law which the Administration is pre-
pairing to use in his interest. General
Garfield frankly admitted that il was
n partisan enactment; that, while pur-
porting to be in the interest of Justice,
it was in the interest of the party in
power. lie proposed to make it nom
partisan, and the Democratic majority,
desiring only common fairness, cheer
fully acceded to his suggestions. Gen.
Garfield said A.: LET us have the Fed
eral officials who are to surround the
polls selected from both parties and
appointed by the judiciary, 20 that
they cannot exert all their influence
on one side"
The Democrats in both Houses Of
Congress commended the proposition
and put it into "A bill. Mr.. Hayes, in
obedience to the demands of the Rad
ical element of his party, vetoed this
suggestion, on the ground that it was
Il rider to an Appropriation bill The
Democrats sent it back to the White
House, solitary and alone, neither
riding nor ridden, and Mr.. Hayes
vetoed it again. He profcssed TO find
reasons for this high.handed, unpre-
cedented and unwarranted use, in
abuse, of the kingly prerogative of
his stolen office. But there was not
man in Congress, or in any intelligent
community, who did not know that the
reason assigned by General Garfield
for amending the law-the fact that
it was r Republican election ma, inc
was the sole cause of Mr.. HAYES
determination to keep that infamous
statute unaltercd. These are the facr
in relation to the Federal election law
under which the right of selfgovern.
ment has been trodden under foot for
years past. The statute is covered all
over with General Garfeld's emphatic
condemnation. 1t is a Republican
device to enable the minority 10 keep
on top. But the majority will not be
put down this time. All who are en-.
titled to vote must and will deposit
their ballots, and woe betidc the men
who try TO impede fair election in
any State.

SENATORS BAYARD and Wallace,
in their speeches in Philadelphia on
last Saturday evening, picked up the
gauntlet so airily thrown down by the
Republican managers aud addressed
their remarks to the business men of
Pennsylvania. The Delaware Senator,
in a masterly and logical manner, an.
swered every argument advanced at
the recent meeting of Republican bus
mess men, while our own Senator took
the people into his confidence as he
discussed the tariff question in all its
bearings and relations. When such
men as Bayard and Wallace, who are
known as staunch friends of sound
currency, safe and legitimate banking
and tariff that will not do violence
to any interest in the land, appear
upon the hustings to answer the John
Welshes and Joseph Whartons who
are put forward by Republican ne
cessity to alarm business, the people
will generally understand that the
danger is not imminent. Wallace
represents protection to American in
dustry on the Finance Committee of
the Senate, while Bayard is the firm
and steadfast advocate of high
standard of financial honor. Busi-
ness will not allow itself to get panic
stricken 30 long as such men can be
found to answer for Democratic legis-
lation.

Democratic Pension Record.

1t is a principle with the Radical
party that pensions are an act Of
sovereign gratuity by the government.
The Democrats believe that pensions
are not a gratuity to the soldier, but a
debt due him from the government.
Hence the difference between the two
parties in dealing with pensioners.
The Democratic position is infinitely
the most liberal. As an indication,
note the following record Of the brief
period during which they have had
control of Congress
lst. BY act Of August Is, 1876, pen
sioners were allowed, whenever needed
artificial limbs or Communication there.
for, at expiration Of every five years,
and the necessary transportation free
to have such limbs fitted.
ID. BY act Of March 9, 1873, the pen.
sioners of the war Of 1872 and their
widows were all allowed the sum OF
s.. 90 per month.
Sd. BY act OF June 3, 1878, pension
ers who had lost both feet, both hands
or sight of both eyes were allowed and
raised TO $500 per month
4th. BY act OF March 3, 1860, all pen.
sioners were secured arrearages of pen.
sion TO date from the time of wounds
received. or disease contracted while in
the service.
9Th. BY act of March !, 1879, soldiers
who were deprived Of their pensions by
reason OF being in the civil service OF
the United States were under said act
allowed their pensions.
9th. By act OF March 5, 1879. the act
Of June I, 1878, was extended 20 as to
include all soldiers and sailors, who lost
both feet. both hands or sight OF both
eyes, which entitled all such soldiers to
$500 per month.
eth. BY act OF March :, 1879. all pen.
sioners, either on the rolls, or thereafter
put on. for ampuiation of leg at hip
joint were allowed a monthly pension
OF $37 80.
The lower branch of Congress be-
came Democratic in 1875, and the
Senate in 1879, and the above are the
seven acts as they appear from the
records of Democratic Congress, for
and in favor OF the pensioned soldier,
during and since the year 1875.
