REPUBLICAN orators in this State bawl
themselves hoarse over the danger to the
tariff if Hancock is elected, and that too in
the teeth of the fact that Garfield in Con-
gress advocated and voted FOR the admission
of coal free of all duty, for tie reduction of
the duty on iron, for taxing tea and coffee in
order to make the tariff a revenue measure
only. and expressed his firm belief that the
intelligence and craftsmanship OF the world
is rapidly tending to free trade. Judge
Kelly commonly called Pig Iron Kelly"
voted against him for Speaker when the Re
publican caucus nominated him in 1877 and
again in 1879, and in 1877 Errctt, BaYne and
KilIingeT, all three Republicans from tniS
State, openly bolted his nomination because
he was free trader. Garfield has been the
champion in Congress for fifteen years of a
revenue tariff. The Republican papers are
now publishing an infinite amount OF the
sheerest humbug on this tariff question to
deceive the people and frighten them into
the support Of a free trader like Garfield
Thomas y. Scott expressed the plain, com
mon sense view of the matter the other day
when he said
Il do not believe that the business interests of
the country have anything fear from the election
OF either Iiarficld Hancock. We have had Il
revenue tariff since the war. and II has been
more than ample for protection. and the present
generation will not see = tariff, under any party,
that VIII not be the revenue standard until the
national debt IS practically psid. The more bust
ness can he separated from politics, the zafcr and
more prosperous II will be-

The Altoona Tribune might as we'll come
from behind the undcrbrush and fight Her
man Banner squarely. Its guerrilla war
fare will not win. The Democratic party
OF this county and district, says the Holt
daysburg Standard, cannot be divided by its
tactics, cunning as it may think them.
No Democrat in this district will vote for II.
4. BOgCs for Senator, for Democrats have
nothing to gain and everything to lose by his
election. He is an out and out Republican.
Should he be elected he will vote for Mat
thew ). Quay for United States Senator.
The Tribune will hardly charge that Mr..
Banner would do that. On the contrary,
the Tribune knows that he would vote for
the nominee OF the Democratic caucus, and
that is the secret OF the Tri5Upc's opposition
to him. That journal has no love for Scna-
tor Wallace or for any other Democrat -
Hence its hypOcritcal professions Of friend
ship for him and of Soicitude for his interests
are like the kiss by which Judas betrayed
his Master. To conclude: The nomination
of Herman Banner for State Senator is per.
fcctly satisfactory to the friends of Senator
Wallace in this district. They know that lie
is a Democrat and that he will support Dem
ocratic principles and candidates and that is
all they ask. They will support him to 4
man, and the Tribune will have its trOubl c
for It's pains.

IF any ono thing more than another n nc
Congressional career Of James a. Garfield
ought forever 70 damn him in the estimatier
of fair minded and honorable men, it is faj>
connection with the Presidential fraIod of
1875. As Gov. Hendricks said in rs great
speech az indianapolis, Garfield hast Esore to
do with it than any other man, and was the
only one who occupied towards Il a double
relation He went to New Orleans, and
there spent eighteen days in an inner room
of the Custom House, preparing affidavits
which the persoyss who sWore To them after
wards pronounced to be raEk perjuries, and
then came te Washington and accepted a
seat on the Electoral { Commission in the very
case he had assisted in preparing as an at
tornev Would an honorable man have
done this If Judge Dean, of this district,
had been counsel Sl a contested election
case, does any maE suppose for moment
that he would afterwards have sat OF the
bench and tried the case as Judge
Most certainly MT. But what renders Gar
fields conduct sill more Infamous, if possi-
. BILE, is that when the Electoral Commission
bill was before the House he opposed it OF
the ground that it permitted the truth OF the
returns to be investigated, and when he tool
his scat as member Of the commission hC
decided by his vote that the certificate of tn,
Returning Board was final and conclusive
Bv that vote he stole the Presidency from
Tildcn and handed it over to Hayes. \ maI
who PLAYED the double part that Garfield die
in this stupendOus fraud, deserves the last
ing exccration of every friend of popula

TEE attention Of our Grcenback friends is
directed 90 an extract elsewhere from a let
tcr written by Dyer d. Lum, assistant secre-
taLv ~ the National Committee Of the Green
back party, to Thompson H. Murch Con-
gresham from Maine, who is the chairman
of said committee II has been openly
charged against Gen. Weaver, the Green
back candidate for President, ever since his
visit TO Maine, just before the September
election, that he was in the pay of the Re
publican National Committee, and that he
was attempting TO 5etray his party into I h
hands Of the Republicans. Frank Hughes,
of this state, distinctly made this accusation
against Weaver ia his dispatch to him which
we published last week, and now Lum's ex-
haustive letter wogld seem 10 leave no rea-
sonable doubt about the shameless game
Weaver has been playing.

TEE Supreme Court of this State, Chief
Justice SharswOod delivering the opinion,
has reversed the high-handed action Of Judge
Patterson, of Lancaster, in disbarring Messrs.
Stineman and Hensel, members Of the bar Of
that county, for having. criticized in their
paper, the Inteliigencer. his judicial conduct
in the trial Of q criminal case before him sew
eral months ago. Thi. decision Of the high
est Court in the State was universally antici-
pated, and Judge Patterson has not only been
taught that lawyers a. editors have certain
rights which be is bound to respect, but has
been very fatty told that his star chamber
proceeding was hasty, ill-adyised and contra

II 1872 when Horace Greely was the
Democratic nominee for President, il was
constantly urged against him by the Repub-
lican papers, just rs it is now against Han
cock, that his election would imperi! the
business interests of the country. "If you
want the country to be prosperous, keep the
Republican party in power" was the parrot
cry then as it is now. Well, Greedy was not
elected, but Grant was, and in less than one
year after that, and with the Republican
party in full power in all the branches OF the
government, panic struck the country that
paraly7ed its business, followed by finan-
cisl crisis that only ended when the Demo

THAT SOLID SOUTH. in his speech at the

two weeks ago, Wade Hampton referred to
the time when the South was solidlv ReDub-

tor among those who telling the pcoDle
thHt the Solidity OF the South means war
anu ialnine; the overthrow Of our Institutions the
Sbru2ation OF the Constitution and more than alI
other evils, the defeat OF Garfield then warned his
unsuspecttnS countrymcn Of the imminent danger
threatening him. No stalwart organ called then
upon the loyal North to avert this peril by becotn-
ing S0tidly Democratic because the South was sol
IDLY Republican. Then everything was serene i'm
