MIR. Cessna and his g gentleman of high
character and large experience'' are re-
infOrced in their ideas of a pictorial can
vass by Mr.. John d. Defrees, the public
printer, who has caused to be printed
three pictures which he is satisfied should
persuade the people to Garfield. One is
a representation Of. Il miserable coal
miner in England, who is crawling
around in the mine in the shaft of coal
wagon. The idea is that the Democratic
party, when it gets into power, proposes
to take the machinery and horses out of
the mines and substitute human labor.
Moral; vote for Garfield, whom the other
pictures represent upon the canal. In
the one he is the mule boy, while in the
other he has been promoted to the place
Of steersman; showing the rapid strides
he made onward and the great metal
that must be i'm him.
This interesting correspondence be-
tween Defrees, MIR. Cessna and the 'un-
known, who knows the Republican voters

taught through the eye, does not leave
us room to doubt that they have
struck a valuable campaign idea in put

heat. That stage is not reached yet, and
there is reason to apprehend that the

THE eagerness and vigOr which charac-
terized the imprOmptu Democratic meet
ing in this city last evening were only an
earnest of the deep interest felt through
out the country in the political situation
this year. There is no reason to believe
that the movement which brought such
great changes in mem minds from 1865
to 1876, has not gone steadily on in the
last few years. During the course of
Grants administration most marvellous
political changes were effected. Demo
cratic states became deeply intensified,
Republican states slOughed off their large
majOritieS, and doubtful states changed
into the Democratic column. The revO-
luton confined itself to no section. but
shook every political centre. There is no
evidence that the causes which then gave
the Democracy quarter million majority
of the people have ceased to operate.
On the other hand nearly every man of
that host is ncrved anew to action by his
recollection of the electoral fraud and
his purpose to do his part in avenging it.
Who was for Tilden that is not for Han
cock? And how many more 1t
is the tendency of majority parties
to get more than half the natural
increase. 1t is this that makes
all the Democratic states of 1876
more Democratic now. Last falls cleo
tion showed that the united Democracy
of New York state have a majority of
about $4,000. We believe the Republi
cans have not questioned the genuine
ness of that vote. This year the figures
will be about the same, and as all the
Democrats will vote for Hancock, his
majority will he rs great rs Cornell's
minority, and likely very much larger.
In Il reduced poll in 1878 Indiana gave
over 1900 majority. She is not likely
to he looscd from her moorings. There
is no wonder, therefore, that there is vigor
i'm the Democratic campaign.

An anonymous scribbler, over the sigma
ture of 6 Bystandcr," treated the readers
of the Examiner last night to u tissue of
lies, rejecting upon Mr.. James A. McEl-
hone. who is termed "bullilOzer," a
"rowdy," and u man "whO is becoming
somewhat notorious by his boisterous and
disgraceful conduct" Now, all who
know James A. McElhone, the gentle
manly and efficient bOok-keeper of Stein
man & Co.'s extensive hardware estab-
lishment (and he is known by almost
every man in the city and county, knows
that "A Bystander wilfully lies when he
applies any Of the above epithets to him.
AS voter Of the Fourth ward
he has right to examine the registry of
voters and as u member of the Democratic
committee appointed for the purpose, it
was his duty to see that the names of
Democratic voters omitted from the regis
ter, whether inadvertently or not, were
placed upon it. In fulfilmcnt Of his duty
he called upon the assessor of the Fourth
ward, and sasked him to place upOn the
register names that had been omitted
thcrefrOm and that he asked nothing but
what is right is evidenced by the fact that
the Republican assessor after examining
the law placed the omitted names upon the
register. Some of the men whose names
had been omitted from tho register have
been voting in tho ward for twenty years
or more, and at least one of the others was
a property holder. MIR. McElhOne asked
for nOthin" but what was right, and he
got what lie asked for. The assessor
claimed the right to refuse to assess all
Democratic voters in the ward who may
be temporarily absent, and vet he has on his
lists the names Of Republicans, some of
whom have been absent from the state for
years, and others are deadl

What Farr Should Tell.

Senator A. J. Herr, of Dauphin county,
we regret to say will not address the peo-
pie of Lancaster tonight. He probably
finds quite as much on his hands as he
can take care of in in his own district
where there are about five thousand in
dependent Republicans who do not pro-
pose to vote for him. In his stead however,
comes here to talk to the Republicans,
Chester N. Farr, private secretary to
Gov. Hoyt, and lately to Gov. Hartranft.
He is an integral and intelligent part of
the present state administration, and he
will no doubt be able to explain the con-
duct of that administration in pardoning
the convicted legislative bribers. Heis
the warm political and personal friend
of Mr.. Quay, for whom the Re-
publican candidate for Legislature in
this city is instructed to vote, and he
will, no doubt, be able to tell his Repub
lican friends why they should vote for
the legislative lobbyist and the pardon
mill manager. We presume that the
movement for Quay for United States
senator is a serious one. Over in Schuyl-
kill county, Sam Losch, an adroit polit-
ical manager, also a part of the state
administration, has been running the
Quay boom, and never stayed his hand
until he got his little resolutions
passed. 1t cost money to do it here and
the betrayal Of political friendships and
reputation of obligations but it was
done. Mr.. Dcmuth is a mere dummy in
this fight. lie is the figure-head of GER
tain instructions voted to him. They
are ''fOr NJ. S. Quay for United States
senator" Even if he was disposed to
violate them he would find no profit in
doing SO, rs three or four of the county
members who are instructed for Grow
would find in his breach of instructions
a pretext for getting away from theirs.
And yet we kindly suggest to Mr..
Farr that Us there are quite a number of
Republicans here who do not believe in
Quay for senator, he could serve his par
ty and the clique of Republican polite
ians to which he belongs by explaining to
his audience tonight why Quay should
be chosen.
If anybody knows, Farr does, and if he
doesn't tell, the Lancaster Republicans
may remain in fatal ignorance.

ON A GRAY DAY.

ON GRAY DAY.
Led by the ncet-fOOtcd hours.
The summer follows the spring;
The frag france is born in the flowers,
The color blooms in the wing
OF the bird that dips on the dancing spray,
Where but now the cold ice hung
And beauty clings TO the changing day,
As love to the heart that's young.
Would that the story were ended!
But the fall to the summer succeeds,
The mist with the morning is blended,
The slow stream chillcth the weeds,
The hOarsc, wet wind on his ragged way
MOcks the leaves in their tarnislled gold,
And music fails from the moaning day,
As hope from the heart that's cold.

There is one fact in the family history of
Mr.. and Mrs. Long, and consequently one
feature Of their golden wedding, which
made the occasion nearly altogether excep-
tional. If it be true that not more than
one couple out of fifty thousand are per-
mitted sOlemnize the fiftieth anniversary
of their marriage, it is equally true that
not moro than one in fifty times fifty thou
sand arc permitted, in the midst of the
solcmnizatiOn, to be surrounded by every
child born of their marriage. Time has
not only told off lightly to the parents
their fifty years of married life, but it has
avenged nothing by taking even child
from the family. One might walk the
earth many days without finding like
case of family entirety. With the excep-
tion of about two years Mr.. and Mrs.
Long have continued to live in their pres
cnt home. There have been four births,
four to reach maturity, four to marry, four
to join in the fiftieth anniversary of the
marriage of their parents; among the
grandchildren there has not been death,
and all of these were present Surely it
was an exceptional occasion ono worthy
of its more than ordinary cOmmemOrati0n.
James Long was born April 18th, 1903,
and is in his seventy-eighth year.. Mar
garet Long was born February 18th, 1872,

and many years of life are yet promised
them.
For the success of the anniversary much
credit is due Mr.. James Maxwell, Miss
Lizzie McSparran and the immediate fam
lily of children. That it was success
from beginning to end is in the mouth OF
every one that was there. Towards the
