was 70 ouote some of the striking passages OF
the speech. Now must content myself with one
or tvo-not the best but such az may be most

The sarcasm is SO delicate that the appreciation OF

mindedness. They caught 1t instantly and ap-

political engine to be used for the
benefit of Garfield.
You can't say l did it, will be
Hayes'S excuse after ne returns.
Every cabinet officer of the present
administration has taken the stump
for the Republican candidate. Those
who are not engaged in political work
to-day have been or will be to morrow.
There have not been three regular
members of the Cabinet with Hayes
together at any Cabinet meeting for
two months past. The business of the
Government has been chiefly left to
the care of subordinateS since the Chi
cago Convention assembled.
1t is impossible for any man to trans
act business requiring executive APP
proyal in Washington to Gay.
Clerks in departments and employees
in Federal offices throughout the Union
have been assessed two per cent. upon
their annual salaries for the benefit of
the Republican campaign fund. These
who have not paid this assessment are
threatened with dismissal from Office.
Clerks who are known to be public
speakers have been drafted into the
service of the Republican party. Their
wages are paid by the working people,
While they neglect the public business.
Ten days leave Of absence, with pay,
is granted to such clerks in the depart.
ments rs wish to go home to vote the
Republican ticket.
Campaign documents not properly
frankable are sent through the mails
free by the Republican Congressional
Committee.
Documents intended for campaign
use by the Republican Campaign Com
mittee are printed at the government
printing Office, or the branch office in
the Treausury Department, at the eX-
pense Of the nation.
Government clerks, paid out of the
National Treasury, are detailed to
address and mail documents for the
Republican Congressional Committee.
4 bureau of statistics is maintained
at The public expense in the Treasury
Department to furnish griSt for the
Republican campaign mill.
The old state associations, cOmpOs-
ed of government employees, have
been revived, and much time properly
belonging to the government is eXpen-
den in this new sphere of party useful
ness.
Women and children, as well rs
grown men, have been taxed to sup.
port the Republican cause.
Ministers tOEuropean countries have
been granted leaves of absence to come
here and participate in the campaign.
The cost TO the people of the Re
publican campaign cannot well be es-
timated. a low figure would be $10,-
O00,G10.

CURTIN FOR CONGRESS.

By reference ID the proceedings Of
the Congressional Conference it will be
seen that Ex.Gov. Curtin WIS duly
nominated for Congress. TAiS was
proper, fitting thing to be done by the
Dem Icracy of the 2O,h district, and we
doubt not that the choice of the con-
ference will be ratified 10y full vote
and big majority at the election. We
can assure the friends Of EX-Gov. Cur
tin elsewhere that this end of the coun-
ty is delighted with the nomination
and will show its appreciation of the
high merits Of the candidate by giving
him rouSing vote.

WHO CAN VOTE.

The next election in Pennsylvania will be
held OH Tuesday, November ,, 1880.
Voters must be assessed two months before
the elcction-that IS on or before September 2.
The assessors must be at the election house
on Wednesday and Thursday, September lst
and 2nd, from 10 o'clock \. ". to o'clock T. NJ
OF each day, for the purpose of correcting the
list Of voters, by adding names thereto or Strik-
ing them of
The committee men Of the respective election
districts should attend at the time the assessor
sits to correct the list.
To secure their votes. voters must have paid
a state or county tax one month before the
election and within the two years Immediately
preceding the date of one month before the
election. The last day for paying tax this year
is October f2nd.
Members of Democratic state, county and
city committees Should see to il that every YOt-
er OF our party has complied with the law.
Failure to pay tax in season deprives the
voter Of the privilege of voting. An electOr can
swear in his vote though he be not assessed.
But the neglect may cause much trouble.

FINE WORKS OF ART FOR
ALL.

Onward, improvement, progress are
the watchwOrds OF the hour with the
great American people, and in the
front rank Of the progressive Ameri-
cans we find the great Art Publishing
firm of Messrs. George Stinson 81 Co.,
Portland, Maine. During the year
1879 they sold over two million more
pictures thal they ever sold before in
a single year, and the sales for 1880
thus far much larger than for the cor
responding period in 1879. 1t is be-
lieYed that they pay more for postage
stamps than any other house, not only
in4this country, but in the world at
large; We will give some Of the figures.
which we have direct from Messrs,
Stinson & Co., and therefore know are
correct. During the year 1873 the
amount Of money that they paid for
postage stamps was over fifty thOus-
and dollars. During tie year 1879 the
amount that they paid for postage

| venture the assertion that the cor
respondent who telegraphed from this
city to Cincinnati newspaper the
story about prominent public men urg-
ing Garfield's withdrawal from the Re.
publican ticket, to make place for
Grant, is entitled to the reward for the
biggest fiction of tie season. There
IS absolutely no truth in it, No Wash
ington man, Democrat or Republican,
with the party standing which comes
from Official position higher than tie
garbage service, has thought or spoken
seriously OF such change. While Re

lars, and will doubtless go consila rably
over ono hundred thousand dollars for
the year. While the amount paid for
postage is simply enormous, it must be
remembered in this connection, that
only the small orders 90 by mail, all
large orders being sent by express aud
freight. From the above some idea Of
the magnitude Of their business can be
formed. Their trade extends, not only
to the m lst remote parts Of the United
States and Dominion Of Canada, but
all over the civilized world. Messls.
Stinson ~ Co., are net behind the
times in understanding the great power
Of the judici0us use of printers ink,
and in this connection we wish to
state that during the last ten years
they have spent for newspaper adver-
tiSing over two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. Enterprise, indus
try, and good judgment will accom-
plish great things, and in the success
of this great Art Publishing Hodse
we have striking example o. that
fact, ana now they may, we feel sure,
fairly claim 10 stand at the head of the
Art Publishing business in this coUn-
try. We have lately received four ele-
giant Steel Engravings with the titles
THE WELCOME STEP" "RUsTIC
THOUGHT," "MAMMA'S BIETHDAY"
and "RFADY;" just published by
MesSrs. Stnsun & Co. Size of each SO
by 40 inches. These plates were en-
glaved in London by well known
English masters Of Art, and cost,
when they came into the owners
hands, in Portland, customs duty paid,
the great sum Of almost thirty thous-
and dollars.
1t is believed, and generally Conce-
ded that these eDgrayingS make up
the finest and most elegant set Of work 5
of high art ever brought out 10y Amer
lean publishers. American homes
should be made beautiful by refued
works of art, and prices for really good
and meritoriUuS pictures are nov sc
low that there can be no excuse for
the walls to remain gloomy, unadorn-
ed, and cheeylesS. American homes
should be made beautiful, and the
tendency OF this will be to make more
refined and beautiful the lives OF all
dWellerS therein.
