Pennsynvan,a a Democratic state.


Lancaster, tPa.) Intelligencer.
We do not know why democrats
should be tirnid in claiming Penn
sylvania for Hancock, and yet they
are. They will speak confidently
of Indiana and with great expecta-
come to Pennsylvania, which we
consider quite as certain for Han
cock as either New York or Indi-
ana, our friends seem to turn from
it with fear. The New York Sun
has been questioned by one OF those
trembling souls, and seems itself to
think that there is enough in its cor
respondents apprehension to war
rant it in giving an elaborate state
ment Of the ground of its hope
hardly its faith-that Pennsylvania
will vote for Hancock.
We beg to say to these doubling
Thomases that we have no sympa-
thy in their tribulation nor share in
their apprehension. Pennsylvania
will vote for Hancock as surely as
election day comes around. Why
should she not? Is she not a DEM
ocratic state and is not Hancock
her citizen? Has she ever shown
any disposition to turn the cold
shoulder to presidential candidate
from her soil.
+. Pennsylvania is a more democrat
ic State than New York, which is
only carried by the democracy,
when it is carried, by the city vote
and the New York city democracy
have not up to this time been as un-
animous as they should be. There
has been much hesitation on the
state committees side in proffering
Tammany Hall the embrace of
brotherhood, although there is
promise to-day that this will be
amended. In Philadelphia there is
a hearty democratic union under a
strong leadership. Philadelphia |
cannot drown the vote of the state. |
There will be no opportunity for
the frauds which alone have kept |
Pennsylvania from the democracy |
in the past. Nor is there the strong
motive which has heretofore existed |
to induce the men who have manip-
ulated these frauds to attempt their |
execution in this election. Their |
three years ago, that /
they might punish Hayes, left the
election free and the democratic
party elected its candidates. In a
fair election it can always win; and
we have guarantees of such an cleo
ton this time as would suffice to
give it to us even should we be
compelled to fight the frauds and
devices which have so often over
thrown us. OF these we have
no apprehension. This election
will be decided on its merits, and if
Gen. Hancock has not strength en-
ough to carry his native state he
has not the strength that will elect
him. AS goes Pennsylvania SO will
go the election; and we await the
result with absolute confidence.

Ifa person swallows any poison
whatever, or has fallen into convul-

an instantaneous remedy,
most efficient and applicable in a
large number of cases, is heaping
teaspoonful of common salt, and as
much ground mustard, stirred rap
idly in a teacupful of water, warm
or cold, and swallowed instantly.
1t is scarcely down before it begins
to come up, bringing with it the
contents of the stomach,
and lest there be any remnant of
the poison, however small, let the
white of an egg or teaspoonful of
strong coffee be swallowed as soon
as the stomach is quiet, because
these very common articles nullify
a large number of virulent poisons.

An Actor. Diet.

The late Mexican buchanan,
though not very distinguished as an
actor, assumed the tone of an artist
of the first class. 1t is said of him
that at one time his valet came to
him while at breakfast i'm hotel,
and after reminding him OF engage
ments that would keep him occu-
pied all the morning, suggested that
in order to save time he should or
der dinner at once.
what will you have, sir?" i'm
quired the valet.
"What do play to-night?" asked
Buchanan.
Richard, sir" was the response.
"Then order roast beef, very rart."
A wOnder-stricken youth sitting
near the tragedian, and who was
profoundly impressed by the near
presence of the actor, timidly re-
marked
"Excuse me, Mr.. Buchanan, but
what do you eat before playing
Claude Melnotte ?p
4" "Wafiles, sir--wafiles, +" responded
Buchanan, in his most pompous
tone.

DURING the late war the Twenti-
eth Tennessee (Battle's old regi-
ment) was encamped in the near
vicinity of a Mississippi regiment.
The Tennesseans were In the habit
of twitting the Mississippians about
their state having repudiated its
debt. This SO incensed the Missis-
sippians that a serious conflict be-
tween the two regiments was only
prevented by the interpOsitiOa Of
their officers. III Tennessee follows
in the footsteps of Mississippi, how
will her SONS net when they 20
abroad and are twitted about repO-
diatiOn? The brave Mississipinns
resented the insinuations OF the
Tennesseans at the point of the bay
onet. They said their state may
have repudiated her debt, but they
never Tad denied theirs, and no
man or set of men should throw il
in their faces with impunity.-Bdn-

THE sober, second thought of the
people is almost always right. This
is proving to be the case in all those
states where reputation has been
talked of. Arkansas. .haslvindicated
her character from the odium that
it was feared at one time she would
incur. There is but little doubt that
Tennessee will initiate the example.
In Virginia the "debt-payers" are
daily growing stronger and the
"readjusters" or repndiators are
growing weaker. The first impulse
with the people of these overloaded
states, in view of the unjust or fraud
ulent nature of much of their in-
debtedness, was very naturally to-
ward Reputation. But then arose
the difficulty Of distinguishing be-
tween what were honest obligations
and what were unwarranted and
the further fact was realized that re-
pudiation only permitted innocent
parties who had relied upon the
credit and honor of the state, while
the guilty harvesters of the fraud
escaped. Reflection brought this
further fact to view that whatever
stigma may rest upon state must
be forever borne by all its citizens,
and but few sensible people want to
leave such an inheritance to their

nopualntlon in Enst Tennessee.

The repudiators, up to the present
time, have not been able to muster
a corporal's guard. The few mall
contents who have espoused the
"lost cause" have already talked
themselves hoarse about "free tick
ets," railroad rings, bondholders,
bulldozers," and ali the other slang
of the Savages-never forgetting to
wind up by inquiring in fierce,
angry tone: "Are you afraid to
trust the people?" But its no go.
The boilers are completely squelch-
ed here before they get fairly star

smell about it that honest, hard
working East Tennesseeans cannot

essee is all right and will vote, so
far as Democrats are concerned, sol
idly for Wright.-MorristOlca Ga

Col. BAILEY's speech at o. X.

ATHENS Post; The claim OF the
Wilsonites that they are i'm favor Of
"lOw taxes" Is gross and palpable
fraud. III the policy they advocate
should prevail, in less than i've
years the depreciation in taxables,

would have to be increased fully 90
per centum to meet current state
