| Coffee-Colored Naturalization Papers
| TPhiladephia Evening News

The recent developments regard
ing the outrageous naturalization
frauds before the Wallace committee
in New York, wherein Commission
er John Davenport showed up the
periuries and forgeries of the Democ-
racy in connection with the issuing
of more than sixty thousand fraud
ulent naturalization certificates
which have been doing their work
in keeping up Democratic mJorities
in New York, could not have aston
ished United States Senator Wal
lace, for he was very familiar with
this sort of Democratic still hunt.
1t was, think, in 1869, that Wal
lace engineered the same plan in
the Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, Sen
storial district. Col. Robinson, &
one-legged soldier, was the Republi,
can candidate for Senator, and DR.
Shugart the Democratic candidate.
Shugart was declared elected by Z
small majority. Robinson contested
the election, and it was in this ease
that the proof showed that more
than two hundred aliens, railroad
hands, were colonized at Phillips
burg, in the district, for about two
weeks prior to the election, all OF
whom presented their naturalization
papers and voted for Shugart, thus
defeating Robinson. a poor Irish
man, John Cleary, by name, told the
story to the committee about how
the certificates of naturalization were
colored with coffee 90 give them tbs
appearance of age. He also testi-
fled that he voted at said election for
Shugart, and that he had not resided
a wear in the United States. He il
was teat opened up the whole out
Yageous transaction. After his dis
charge by the Senate committee he
returned to bis home at Osceola
Mills, Clearheld county He was
killed within twenty m.nptes after
he got off the cars, and up 70 ihe
present day his murderer has never
been arrested. Also, a Catholic
priest, resident of Clearield, Sen
ator Wallace's home, swore before
the said committee that the money
that paid the board bills for the
gang of Yoters came from the bank
in Clearfeld, in WHICH Senator Wal,
lace was interested. The IecorjS il

of the Senate that passed the seven
million appropriation for the Stal
route mail contractors at the recent
session ,qf Congress, can tell how

fusion of Greenbaekers and Demo

This is followed by an appeal to
the Union soldiers and sailors of the
state of New York, whose good fortune
it was to oppose insurrectiOn and to
save the country in the pains of re-
bellion, now, in the words of their
great commander, to push things.
This appeal is signed by a regiment
of soldiers and sailors who promptly
step to the front and lead iii the

For the present the Republicans
are holding their own in the cam
paign, if not positively gaining
ground against their opponents, who
are still wasting themselves in frothy
carousings and self-gratulations. II
is utterly proftless for Democratic
managers to be loating around head
quarters in New York boasting and
Dragging Of the certainty of General
Hancock's success. No mere boasts
and brags will suffice TO infect the
people with that conviction, so Ions
as they see the Republican canvas:

the public ear everywhere with adj
mirably ingenious arguments ad-
dressed to memory and reason, like
the speech of Secretary Schurz
while nothing is visible on the othe

From the New Haven Palladium (bep)
An old reprobate once lived in
this city who always reformed when
ever a season of revival came, and
as invariably lapsed from virtue as
soon as the excitement was over.
On one occasion he rose at an eXpe-
rience meeting and gave vent to his
renewed JOY in loud, triumphant
tones. Il have been plucked as a
brand from the burning" shouted
he; Il am pure and holy, and sure
Of heaven at last" amen, Brother
b., ," was the response ofthe shrewd
leader of the meeting; may the
| Lord take you now, before you have
another chance to backslide." The
Democratic party is the Brother b.
in the church political. Once every
four wears it takes its seat on the
mourners' bench, passes through a
reforming spasm, and then shouts
aloud that it is "once more pure
and clean" The people put it on
probation, but long before the time
| is up the old story is repeated of the
return of the SOW that washed to It's
wallowing in the mire."

THE first meeting of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee was
held in Philadelphia on Thursday
last. The attendance of members
was very large, nearly every county
in the State being represented. The
organization of the Committee was
completed, and the reports of the
members show Republican pros
poets in all parts of the State to be
most cheering. The meeting was
called to order by the Chairman,
Hon. John Cessna, who made a cap
ital speech. He spoke Of each separ-
ate county in the State, and said
that his advices from each of them
showed that an organization had
been perfected in each, adding, that
in all his experience he never knew
the counties so well organized, and
that he was being crowded with let
ters from all parts of the State Civ
/ ing assurance of a rafting fight dur
ing the campaign, and of certain vic
/ tory at its close. Ex-Governor Jewell,
of Connecticut, Chairman 0f the
Republican National Committee,
was introduced by Mr. Cessna, and
said that the outlook was more en-
couraging than it had been at the
commencement of campaign for
many years Enthusiasm prevailed
everywhere, and that the party in
every section Of the country was be
ing well organized. He concluded
his remarks By pledgipg Connect
cut to he on the night side yea4. apd
said that every indication pointed
to the success of the Republican
I ticket in the coming fight. After
the business of the Committee was
compietcd. stirring speeches were
madeby Gen. Negley, Hon. Galusha
A Grow, Generals Beamer, White,
Lilly and Others. GrEat enthusiasm
was exhibited over the eheasi9g re
ports from all parts of the state that
harmony reigns and no defections
are heard of as far as the National
tickx is concerned. and it is now
felt certain that the State will be
carried handsenaely.
