FRIDAY, October Is, 1890
Editors Centre Democrat. IL being my
good fortune TO cross the mountain into
the vicinity of Msdisonburg, Miles town
ship, was informed by friend that the
Hancock and English pole lbroken on the
Saturday previousl would be again elevated.
|, in company with several other Demo-
Gratis, wended my way to the place, and
found much larger pole than the one
previously broken, and also n large num-
Der of people assembled to witness the
operation. Mr.. Simon Hazel, a veteran
Democrat, gave the word of command and
up the pole went about FIVE feet, when a
halt was ordered. At this point large
and handsome flag was presented by the
ladies of the town and vicinity with the
request that II be suspended on the top Of
the pole. IL was accordingly placed in
position, and at the word of command the
pole was raised 10 lie full height and Sc
curely fastened. Mr.. Ellis Shaffer, the
captain Of the Madisonburg Hancock and
English Club, proposed three cheers for
Hancock and English and the entire Dem.
ocratic ticket, which were given with a
vim and enthusiasm unmistakable In their
significance. Three rousing cheers were
then given for Mr.. George Shaffer, who
had donated theground upon which the pole
stands, and the thanks OF all present were
rendered 10 the ladies for the beautiful
National emblem just received from them.
! noticed several venerable Henry Clav
Wings among the spectators who seemed
TO be participating In the enthusiasm, and
one In particular was prominent In assist
ing In the work Of fastening the pole In
the ground These facts all 90 to show
that the election Of Hancock and English
as well - the entire Democratic ticket i
foregone conclusion. H,s.

The DEMOCRAT of last week alluded
to the vile slander published against Eman-
uol Noll in the Morning Neics. The Nel0s
of last Thursday morning contains the
following letters in refutation Of the
charge, and 1t is but justice TO Mr.. Noll
that they should be read by every one
D MILEsBURG, PA, Oct II, 1880.
To tie editor Of the Morning NelOs
Your article of this morning, entitled
"a Model Hancock Veteran" does me an
injustice which | am 10th to believe is
intentional. At this late day il Is scarcely
necessary 10 acquaint the public with the
fact that serious and gross injustice WAS
done many soldiers of the late war by the
heedlessness of officers in marking as de-
serters men who had become separated
from their commands by circumstances
wholly beyond their control.
The absence for which was so reported
was caused by the giving out of my horte
on forced cavalry march from Petersburg
to North Carolina and by my own sick
ness, brought about by my own exertions
10 keep up with my command, on font,
after my horse had given out.
The charge of desertion was removed by
competent authority, after Il foil and care
ful investigation Of the whole case, and /
received an honorable discharge - facts
which any man, solicitous about my mill
tary record, can easily satisfy himself of.
Taking it for granted you will be glad to
correct the false impressions your article
may have given rise, subscribe myself,

The most busy and animating scene in
our town at present Is at the site of the
new Reformed church, now under process
of erection on the corner of Linn and
Lamb streets. A dozen or more men are
at work, most of whom are stone mAsons
brought from a distance for this especial
purpose, and are a very pleasant looking
body of men. "Click, click, click" goes
the hammer on the stone, and as the fine
fragments are sent flying in every direc-
tion, the stone under the workman's hands
is gradually brought into the required
shape to ht into the place for which Il is
designed. The men all work with COM
mendable industry and the edifce may
soon be expected to become one of the
fairest ornaments of Linn street.

What is the matter with our Repub.
lican friends in Howard ? 1t appears that
their exultation over the October election
has had the effect of bringing out the
latent spirit OF intolerance which so natu.
rally belongs to latter day Republicanism.
When the Democrats wished TO fasten a
flag rope upon the building in which John
Sitter lives, he threatened to move out of
the house, and appealed to that pure,
spotless and very agreeable Republican
patriot, John G.. Love, cs to whether he
was not justified, as his (I.ove's) tenant, in
assuming that sort of an attitude. The
other day B. F. Hotter, another of How
ards liberal Republican citizens, was asked
whether be would allow bill, giving no.
tice of Democratic meeting, TO be posted
upon the door of his blacksmith shop. lie
gave ready and willing assent, and just
as soon as II had been carefully put up, he
tore IL down. This kind of conduct is 10
be expected from followers Of the DE
Golyer candidate and is Of course calcu-
lated to improve the temper of Mr.. Hotter
and Mr.. Stitzer's Democratic neighbors.

Mr.. ID. p. Peters, the popular propri-
etor of the Bush House, is a personal
friend Of General George b. Mcclellan,
and in common with all the people Of
Centre county, has been exceedingly anx-
ious to have him come to Bellefonte. Mr.
Peters wrote the great warrior and distin-
guished statesman, inviting him to come
here and say TO our voters that his brother
soldier, Hancock, should be elected Presi-
dent of the United States. The following
is General McClellan's letter TO Mr.. Peters :
TRENTON, n. J., October l6, 1880.
Dear Sir: Governor Mcclellan desires
me to say IN answer TO your very polite
invitation that he finds IL impossible to
visit Bellefonte rs his time Is all taken up
with engagements previously made from
now until Nov. |. He thanks you most
kindly for the invitation and expresses the
hope that his old and esteemed friend, Gov
Curtin, will be returned 10 Congress from
your district by very large majority.
Yours very truly,

A PROFITABLE DEMOCRATIC MEETING

n 1hOflTAbLE DEhUChATIC VI EETIku
ON TUESDAY EvESING.-Previous 10 the
meeting in the Democratic club room OF
this place, last Tuesday night, the Han
cock Legion made very beautiful street
parade. The severe cold and the falling
rain deferred the usual number from join
ing in the procession and prevented them
from pursuing an extended route, but all
competent judges who had the good fortune
to witness the parade acknowledge it TO
have been one of the most elegant specta-
cles which has been seen during the pres
cnt campaign. Under the discipline of
Captain Snyder the Legion has become
more proficient, If possible, than ever in
the manual of arms. Their beautiful lamps
were carried at an exact height forming a
continuous and unbroken line Of fire, an
accomplishment which apparently had not
been thought of by the clubs which par
ticipated in the Republican parade of last
Friday night. The route of parade cx-
tended from the club room TO Spring
street, thence to Bishop street, along Bish.
op to Allegheny, along Allegheny to High,
and thence TO the club room. After gath
ering in the club room, the Legion, and
many Others who had met with them, we're
entertained by stirring and able speech
from the lips of that eloquent orator, Ira
G. Mitchell, Esq, of Lock Haven. His
remarks were so exceptionally strong and
brilliant that we would gladly present our
readers with resume of them if our space
would permit. 1t was conceded by all
present--and the club room was literally
packcd-that Mr.. Mtchell's speech was
one of the ablest presentations of the
Democratic cause heard in Bellefonte dur
ing this campaign. land the effect upon his
auditors was most salutary and inspiring.
After the conclusion Of Mr.. Mitchell s
speech an interesting ceremony took place
that of presenting a handsome flag TO
the Legion, the gift of the junior young
ladies of Bellefonte. ID. +. Fortney, Esq.
made the presentation speech in his usual
able manner, and it was received by w.
+. Reber, Esq, in few very appropriate
remarks. All the proceedings of Tuesday
evening were exceedingly satisfactory, and
show that the Democrats in this vicinity
are quite certain of National victory on
Tuesday week

ID. S. Keller, ESQ, supplements Mr..
Noll's letter with the following:

BELLEFoYTE, PA, Oct. II, 1880.
Editor Ne1s: The article referred to by
Noll certainly does him an injustice. 1t is
true, to my personal knowledge, that the
charge Of desertion WAS removed by COM
petent authority, and an honorable dis
charge granted Mr.. Noll; and no one
conversant with the strictness Of the re-
quirements at military headquarters will
doubt that before this was done Mr.. Noll
had 10 make out Il clear case of blamelcss-
ness.
l, myself, have seen the order removing
the charge of desertion and the certificate
of honorable discharge granted Mr.. Noll
and | cannot but dcprecate any disposition
TO attack the record Of soldiers, either
orally or through the press, in this reck-
less way.
Careful inquiry will satisfy any fair
minded person that 1t is not safe to predi-
cate a charge of dcsertion on "Bates
Record" work which, though excellent
in many respects, is full Of errors because
completed from rolls themselves defective.

and, accordingly, the open space in the rear

The ToMB.-It becomes our duty, this
week, TO record the death of Mr.. Daniel
Musser, an old and respected citizen Of
Harris township. He died at his home in
Boalsburg last Friday, leaving wife and
several children. The funeral services
over his remains took place on Monday.
We learn with pain of the death, last
Friday, of the infant son of Samuel and
Marilla Dawson, of this place. He was
bright and promising little fellow, only
seven months old, but merciful Father
has seen ht to remove from the "evil to
come" The funeral took place on Sunday
morning.
Rev. a. G. Deininger, who for many
years resided in this county, died at his
home in East Berlin, Adams county, on
Wednesday, September 90, aged s5 years
lie was born in Bernstein, near Waiblin-
gen, in the Kingdom of Wurtemburg,
but removed to this country at an early
age, settling in this county and marrying
Miss Susan Phoebe Brown of Aaronsburg
He entered the ministry of the Lutheran
church, and, hfty-one years ago, received
a call from the East Berlin charge, where
he remained until the time of his death
Five separate congregations-numbering
in all fourteen hundred members-are now
located within the boundaries Of his origi-
nal charge, largely the fruits of his indi-
vidual efforts. All who knew him deeply
regret his death.
