Smoothing in The Square.

Our beautiful Court square is one

drunken rowdies who make their
headquarters there, falling about in a
drunken stupor on the benches. may
expect to be punished. During the
last two weeks about halt a dozen
disreputable citizens have been ar
rested for this o%ffense, and each time
a fine of FIVE dollars was imposed.

Weaver to Plaisted,

Washington, September 1S.-Gen.
James B. Weaver, Greenback NOM
inee for President, sends the following
telegram to General Plaisted at Ban
g0r Maine: l congratulate you on the
grand fight you have made in Maine
for the National Greenback Labor
party. 1t will inspire our friends
with confidence and strengthen them
for the great battles which remains to
be fought. l hope you are elected.
1t is most amusing to see the Demo-
cratic leaders masquerading behind the
Greenback party and calling our vic
tory Democratic boom. They fail to
tell the public that you were nomi-
ated as a straight Greenbacker and that
the Democrats could not have carried
the State by 10000. They failed also
to state that they requested you to
made pledges to them when they gave
their Endorsement and that you per
emptorily declined; that their State
Central Committee subsequently de-
manded pledges ofyou and upon your
second refusal the said Committee re-
qucsted you to wi ;hdraw as candi-
date and that you declined to do; that
the Democrats in Maine showed their
good sense by voting the Greenback
ticket. Let US all rejoice.
JAS. B. WEAVER.
In one thing Weaver is to be COM
mended. He sticks to his party and
principles just as though he believed
i'm them. He is at least consistent and
his party in Maine gains by that con-
sistancy.
Here it is different. In this county
the Greenback "bOsses" make indie
cent haste to surrender to the DemOc-
racy. They will go Short for congress
who is as much of Democrat as he
ever was, and is straddling round TO
fool the Green hackers. They get only
Mr.. Kinnear for Assembly who will
vote for coffee pot Wallace and might
as well be a Democrat, if elected and
swallow the whole Democratic ticket
besides. Would Weaver be proud OF
that kind of Greenbackism? 1t can
gain neither votes nor public respect.
1t is proper to repeat that the "bosses"
made this surrender. We trust the
party generally will be more consis-
tent. The bosses probably never
were Greenbackers at heart. They
are Democrats still, and only want to
fool their followers. 1t remains TO be
seen whether they do it.-Warren

Rebel War Claims.
Williamsport G. & b.

1fany doubt exists in the minds OF
the intelligent voters as to the amount
of the rebel war claims that will be
presented and allowed in the event of
the success of the Democratic ticket in
the light of the fact that "history re-
peats ITSELF" it is well to refer to old
records of the Democratic regime and
deduce therefrom lessons of instruc-
tion for the present and future.
The archives of the treasury depart
ment contain claims to the amount
of sixty millions of dollars paid to the
inhabitants Of Georgia and Florida
for losses alleged to have been sus-
tained during the war with the Sem
inoles and Creek Indians (better known
as the Florida wary which occurred
during the years 1884 to 1888. The
field of military operations was prin-
cipally i'm the Everglades of Florida
the hunting grounds of "Billy Bow
legs" and his savage warriors, AT
that early period in the history Of
the peninsula state" it cannot be sup
posed that many white settlers had
established their homes in such all al.
most impenetrable morass, constructed
costly dwellings and surrounded
themselves with all the luXurics of
life, yet perusal of these records dis
closes the astounding fact that nearly
half a century ago that portion of the
South now inhabited principally by
alligators and wild hogs, was as
thickly populated as county in
Massachusetts, covered with costly
buildings, abounding in choice cattle,
and rich in general products of the
soil. All of which were lost or des-
troyed by the cruel ravages of war,
A Democratic administration allowed
these claims on the atfidavits of the
hoaesS a.ld honorable member of the
party. And the good people of the
whole country were taxed TO pay
them. The facts are at hand and can
not be gainsayed to prove that more
money was paid on the fraudulent
claims of these ancestors of southern
rebles than would be required to pur-
chase at fair value all the property,
real and personal, belonging to the resi-
dents of the whole state of Florida
Ways that were darker and tricks
that were meaner than were ever used
by the heathen Chinee were employed
by these people to defraud the govern
ment. There is no doubt that after
having become enriched by such n
steal, these claimants are willing to
be forgiven, want to shake hands
across the boody ehasm, with those
who accused them of dishonesty and
perjury, and are extremely anxious
to have peace. Is it not extremely
suggestive of what we may expect OF
their descendants should an oppor-

The Springfield Republican has
been reading its Independent ex-
changes pretty closely, and as a result
says; "There is a general disposition,
highly ominous to the Democrats, OH
tile part of the independent press of
the country to predict Garfeld's elec-
ton. Barring the New York Sun and
the Philadelphia Times, there is
scarcely a prominent newspaper the

Harmony In Crawford County.

Mcadville, Sept. THE difficulty
that has for the past two months en-
listed in the Republican party of this
county, and which 1t has been so
sorely feared would end disastrously
to their interests, has at last been sat
isfactorily arranged. The two candi-
dates for Congress i'm the Twenty
sixth District, which has been looked
upon as matter that it seemed al
most impossible to harmohize, was
amicably settled by the Con ferees at
Franklin yesterday. They unani-
mously nominated S. H. Miller of
Mercer, after which the Hon. j. D..
McJunkin of Butler pledged himself
to take the stump for Miller. The
finishing touches, however, were at
tained to-day at meeting of the
County Committee to nominate a
Chairman that would bring together
the division that has for time eX-
listed between the two factions, and it
resulted i'm the unanimous election of
William III. Andrews, who, it can be
safely said, will push the campaign
from now on as perhaps no other man
In the county would do. The follow
ing resolution was adopted;
Resolved, That we indorse the NOM
ination of S. II. Miller for Congress for
this district, and pledge to him a
united and hearty support.
After which the Committee ad-
journed with best of feeling prevail
ing. The Young Mems Republican
Club met at the court house tonight
and We're addressed by the young
speakers from their ranks.

General Garfield made a few re-
marks at the great Canton soldiers
reunion last week, in the course of
which he intimated that these United
States formed Nation, in the follow
ing emphatic manner: Fellow citi-
zens, here and there hear of man
who speaks of these reunions and the
spirit that pervades them as section
alisln. iii the name of every soldier
who foHgKt, deny it. There is
nothing more National in all this re-
public than the spirit which saved the
Union. These soldiers believed in that
doctrine of geometry that the whole is
greater than any of its parts, and is
equal to all of the parts put together,
and that the Union is greater than
any State, greater than any part of the
Union, however large. We fought
for the whole Union, and the spirit
that animated us was the spirit of ma
donality against the spirit of section
alfsm. To defend the truths for which
we fought is wholly national, and is
sectional in nothing. 1t was section
alism against which we fought. And
1t was spirit of nationality which
we defended and which we will de-
fend while we live. Now, therefore,
in the presence of these veterans, in
the presence of these leaders, in the
presence of these thousands of citizens,
asad under these flags, we assert the
nationality of our cause, embracing
within its grasp all the interests of the
whole country.
