PHILADELPHIA, October 80.
Political excitement runs high here, es-
pecially amongst the Republican factions.
Banners and transparencies are hung on the
outward walls. They regulars are doing
solid work for General Baily and the reg
ular nominees. The "kickers" are noisy
but from what can learn are not doing
much towards making votes. Their whole
campaign is game of brag. The Demo-
crats attend the Wolfe meetings in force. do
most of the believing, and then retire to o
corner groggery and take a drink. They
seem to have forgotten that they have reg
ular ticket in the field. 1t is having good
effect, and if my eyes don't deceive me, No
BILE will be left way in the rear when the
votes are counted on the night of November
sth. Clear-headed Democrats see this and
are trying to stem the tide in every way,
but they seem to have been sold out in the
Independent movement of Wolfe. An old
bourbon told me yesterday that the Demo-
cratic party was going to the dogs. In the
place of working as they should for their
own candidate, when they had some chance
ofsuccess, they were wasting their powder
on Wolfe and running themselves. For
once in my life agreed with the democratic
allegation aforesaid.
Wayne Nacveagh, is here but is keeping
very quiet for the present President Ar
thur took the wind out Of him by pressing
him to remain in the Cabinet and prosecute
the Star Route thieves. Arthur is too
sharp politician for the great reformer.
He can never say that he was kicked out
and had no chance to show what he could
do. Blaine is smart enough to see it and
stay until his services can be spared with
out detriment to the public service The
whole trouble is. Macveagh has got the
presidential bee and wants to be a martyr.

During the past week Republican meet
ings were held at Hooyersville, Davidsyille
Jennertown, Stoystown, Shanksyille and
Buckstown. Most of these meetings were
very largely attended particularly those held
at Hooversville and Davidsville The Paini
township boys turned out in large numbers,
proudly bearing with them their handsome
silk banner presented by Mr.. Cessna when q
candidate for Congress some years ago. Al
Dayidsville the crowd was exceptionally
large and enthusiastic. Conemaugh will make
big effort next week to take the banner
from Paint, and unless her workers are on
the alert she will do it. The speakers were 5
L. Trent. Fred w. Besecker, and +. j. koos'
er. Esq's. Hon. John Cessna was present at
all these meetings and was everywhere
greeted with the greatest enthusiasm.

A son of "old mother Somerset" but :
resident of Washington, H., Mr.. JOSIAH
Snyder, dropped into our Office last Thurs

good Republican in the days of old when hi

doing since he removed to Illinois. He i:

The trite old saving thatitis hard to teach
an old dog new tricks is fully exemplified
by last weeks issue Of the Democrat. We
believe that there was desire on both sides
to keep free from personal abuse and de-
traction of the different candidates this fall.
but by doing this the Democrats whole
stock in trade was taken away. In keep
ing with its true character it now breaks
forth in the vilest, foulest abuse of our can
didate for Judge. The charges it brings
against him are untrue and the course, vulgar
language used would do credit TO the veriest
fish monger

AQUEsTIoN OF VERAcITY.-'1n the last
out, of Mr. Ccssna's circulars, he charges
that Mr.. Baer abused and vilifed Garfield
from the stump and claimed that the Chi
nese letters were genuine. These assertions
are lics-deliberate unjustifable falsehoods. "
--.Somersd Democrat.
Mr. Cessna in his circular says Han
cock was his idol; Garfield his horror and
abomination De Golyer and Credit Mobi-
lier bribes and peJuries were openly charg-
ed, and the Chinese letter proclaimed au-
thentic, when its authors were fleeing from
justice or on their way to the pepitentiary.
That Mr.. Baer made the above charges nom
the stump in this county Ne now openly
and fearlessly assert and are resdy 70 sus-
tain it by the testimony II score or mose

We know whereof we affirm when we say
that large amount Of money was brought
into this town last week and is now being
circulated throughout the county for the
purpose of buying Republican votes for
VIM. J. Baer, for President Judge of our

man whose election is secured by bribery
make an honest fair, upright and impartial
Judge? Shall the rnammon OF Democracy
sully the judicial ermine Shall corruption
