s. Jack Herro Coming,

There seems to be an especial fitness in
the Republicans bringing A. J. Herr, of
Harrisburg, to this city. to open their
campaign for the election to the Legisla-
ture of candidate instructed in advance
to vote for Matthew Stanley Quay. Mr..
Herr was the counsel for the friends of
Mr.. Quay who got into trouble by their
attempts to bribe members of the Legis-
lature:.to vote for the iniquitious, thiev-
ing four million riot loss bill, which had
I" two millions in it for the railroad COM
pany and two millions for the boys"
Mr.. Herr, failing to acquit them before
an incorruptible judge and a jury of
their own peers, continued to be their
counsel before tribunal of which Mr..
Quay, who had been the leader of the
lobby pressing the bill, was the moving
spirit. As might have been expected he
met with better success, and, thanks to
Mr.. Quay's potency, the Jail doors had
hardly closed on the convicts before they
swung open to let in their pardons. For
his valuable services Mr.. Quay is selected
as the Republican candidate for United
States senator. The corruption fund did
its work in this city at least, and Mr..
Demuth is a candidate for Legislature,
instructed to vote for Quay for United
States senator. Quite properly g Jack''
Herr comes to help him along.
Meanwhile the Democracy will present
upon their platform here a gentleman
who helped to convict the riot bill
bribers.

Log Cabin and Hard Cider.

Political managers are very short
sighted who act upon the assumption of
John CesSna's circular that I" most of the
laboring men Of the country vote through
their eyes," and who think that candi-
dates can be elected simply by such a
hullabalio and spectacular effort rs that
of the campaigns of 1910 and 1Si4. We
are living in different time from that,
and even "labOring men" have learned
something since the days when Il log
cabin on wheels was supposed to he a
political argument. The older residents
of Lancaster county know rs we'll as
anybody what has effected these changes.
Communities into which daily mails now
take the evening and morning news
papers were then scantily served by an
itinerant messenger who came once a
week, and the political information which
he brought was but vague and fragmen-
tary. The stump orator of today, stand
ing ut the Golden Gate or in Boston, is
nearer to the people of the interior rural
districts than was the campaigner
of those days in their county town.
Little that is said worth reporting
is withheld for more than a week at most,
nowadays, from the most distant points
in the wcll-settled states. Few families
are without weekly newspaper, many
take several, even of opposing political
professions; and few unacquainted with
the facts would bplieve how MANY neigh
bors of differing opinions exchange their
papers and read diligently the other side
of the question. Political argument is
weighed, digested and resolved by a large
class of independent people even those
who become firmer in the faith can show
better reason for it than when they raj
lied around the log cabin and the coon
skin symbols. A little noise and music
and fireworks seem to he still necessary,
but they do not go very far toward
carrying elections.

Gagged AGAIN.
Charles Gibson, Horse Thief and Jai
Breaker, Again Locked Up.

Charles Gibson, Horse Thief and Jail
Breaker, Again Locked Up.
George A. Smith, late underkeeper of
tho Lancaster county prison, returned
from a pop visit to Greensburg, West
moreland county, last evening, bringing
with him Charles Gibson, the notorious
horse thief and Jail breaker, who has twice
broken out of the Lancaster county prison.
Gibson was convicted Ofhorse stealing, in
connection with his father-in-law, John
Frankfort. at the November term of our
county court, 1877, and sentenced to eight
years. imprisonment. He escaped from
his Imprisonment on tho Goth of July, 1878.
by tearing out the hot air register Of his
cell, descending through the flue to the
basement, ascending through the ventilat-
ing stack, which stands near the prison
wall, and scaling the WALL. Underkeeper
Smith arrested him at Pittsburgh on the
7th of September, 1878, and returned him
to jail. He again escaped nearly in the
same manner on tho 3Oth of July. 1879, in
company with Alonzo Hambright and
Chas. Goodman, who were his fellow-con-
victs. Hambright was captured at Buffalo,
N. Y, somc time afterwards, and return
ed to Jail. Goodman is yet at large.
The manner of Gibson's latest capture
was as follows A burglary had been COM
mittcd in Westmorland county, and Glib
son who went under the name Of Alexander
G. Williams was arrested on suspicion of
being the burglar. While awaiting trial
his identity was discovered and Sheriff
Strine was notified that he could DO had if
wanted. This information was given by
the sheriff to Warden Weise of the prison.
und he detailed Mr.. Smith to go on and get
him if he could. MIR. Smith left Lancaster
on Tuesday, reached Greensburg, West
moreland county on Wednesday morning,
just in time to find that the grand jury had
ignored tho bill against Gibson, alias
Williams, and put the costs upon tho pro-
secutor. In q few minutes moro Gibson,
would have been set at liberty. Mr.. Smith
presented his papers and showed his war
rant for Gibson arrest, who was of course
handed over to him. He was hand -cuffed
and brought on to Lancaster and returned
to his cell. He looks we'll and was dressed
we'll when arrested.
As Gibson was married to John Frank
ford s daughter the two were thrown into
each others company and for time they
stole horses together taking them to Bal
timore. Since Gibson was convicted his
wife married another man and is now said
to be living in Philadelphia.

&lad He Can See II.

UloO ne C6Q see Is
We confess to a feeling of satisfaction
that Judge Black can find SO much good
in Garfeld's character that impercepti
BILE to those who judge him from his
deeds. We would be gratified if we
could believe that he wasa man of honest
intentions, though they he Of the kind
that hell is paved with, as the judge ad-
mits. We cannot ourselves believe this,
but we nevertheless rejoice that others
do. 1t would he a bad thing, indeed'
if everybody considered a man to
be corrupt who has been nominated
for the presidency. Every voter will
make up his mind for himself as to the
character Of the candidates and very
likely many Of them will be induced to
accept Judge Blacks estimate Of Gar
field. 1t is not likely to help him to
these votes any more than would the
general estimate Of him held in Demo-
cratic circles. Tho judge may be right;
he certainly has had better means of
judging than most Of us. He declares
that his knowledge of the man is inti-
mate. The world personally knows him
at a distance, but thinks itself justified
in Withholding the charity Of judgment
would be against him of dishonesty in
his Credit Mobilier dealings. A man
must SO live as to recommend himself to
the good opinion Of the world at large
rs we'll as to the judgment of his inti-
mate associates. 1t especially Is of little
benefit to a public man to be approved
only by his particular friends. Whether
due to Garfield's dishonesty or
only to his weakness, his connection
with Cakes Ames has justly forfeited
to him the worlds good opinion. Judge
Black reads the same facts under the
light of a personal knowledge which di-
minishcs to him their turpitude. He
does not change the facts, and it may
be that his conception Of them is unduly
modified by friendship, rather than ours
byprejudice. We would bc more willing
to accept his judgment if he would ex
plain Gariield's conduct in the DeGOlyer
matter. We do not observe that he has
attempted to do this, and yet it is quite
Us difficult to reconcile it with Garfield s
honesty as his Credit MObilier conduct.
The facts in that case are few
and undisputcd. Garfield while chair
man of the appropriation committee,
which provides the funds for the
Districts of Columbia expenditures
accepted fee of five thousand dollars to
put upon tine city of Washington a large
debt for a worthless pavement and he
did nothing to earn that fee, as he
declares, but to recommend the con-
tract to Shepherd. In doing this he
does not seem to have been seduced by a
desire to aid his party or his friends; his
weakness was for making money; and
not very great deal of it. He does no'
appear to have been dear man to buy
but that scarcely makes him less guilty
