prospect, however, that it will soon be
satisfactorily finished, as many and

Mr.. WILLIAM L. ScoTT.-Ths gen.
tlcman should OF once resign his place
as n member of the National Demo.
cratic Committee, and in case ho omits
to do so, the Committee should call q
meeting and expel him. His conduct
during the last State campaign in sup.
porting Baily, the Radical nominee for
State Treasurer, was infamous in the
extreme. His personal and party
abuse of Mr. Noble, our nominee, was
such gross outlawry that it can never
be atoned for except by resignation
or an expulsion. The falsity of Mr.
Scotts charges are proven by the elec,
tion returns. Last year Garfield car.
ried Erie county by 2,2sl majority
This year the Scott. Baily combination
received but 526. That should settle
the question with fair mon ofall parties
The Democratic Committee of Lyoom
ing county has set the National Com.
mittce good example; One Bierly
a member of the Legislature, and q
member of the County Committee, cleo
tloneered and voted for Wolfe for State
Treasurer. The Committee met and
unanimously expelled him and filled
thovacancy with a good Democrat. Nc
man has the right to WELD his persona
spite against a candidate after party
has put him in nomination, and in case
he should 60 clear over to the enemy
the Lycoming rule should be applied
to him, and decent mon should keeT
out OF his way.

SERVED HIM RIour.-Wc notice
that at q recent meeting of tho Ly-
coming County Democratic Standing
Committee, W r. Bierly, member of
the Committee, was asked to resign
for the reason that ho was supporting
Wolfe. The vote was unanimous. The
Democrats one year ago elected this
fellow to the Legislature. He voted
for Hewitt, the Radical nominee for
Speaker, and for the compliment be
was sandwiched on several important
committees, and during the protracted
struggle he voted for half score Of
men for United States Senator, and, as
a Democrat, behaved bad generally.
We are pleased that he has bccn prop.
erly treeted for his treason.

to notice the falling off in the vote in
some of the townships. A glance at

NATIONAL THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION ISSUED DBYTHEPREsIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES.

The following proclamation was
issued from the Department Of State
Washington, d. c., on the 9Th inst:
By the President Of The United States !,
A PROCLAMATION.
1t has long been the pious custom
OF our people, with the closing of the
year, to look back upon the blessings
brought to them in the changing course
of the seasons, and to return solemn
thanks to the All.Giving source from
whom they flow. Although at this
period, when the falling leaf admon-
ishes us that the time of our sacred
duty is at hand, our nation still lies in
the shadow OF great bereavement,
and the mourning which has filled onr
hearts still finds its sorrowiul express
ion towards the God before whom we
but lately bowed in griet and suppl
cation. Yet the countless benefits
which have sbowered upon us during
the past twclvemonth call for our fer.
vent gratitude, and make it fitting
that We should rejoice with thankful.

mercy, has most signaly favored our
country and our people. Peace with.

creasing heritage; and if in some parts
Of our vast domain some afllictlon has
visited cur brethren in their forest
homes, yet even this calamity has
been tempered and in manner sancti
fled, by the generous compassion ior
the sufferers which has been called
forth throughout our land.
For all these things it is meet that
the voice Of the nation should 90 up
to God in devout homage.
Wherefore |, Chester A. Arthur,
President of tho United States, do
recommend that all the people observe
Thursday, the 9th day of November
inst, as day Of national thanksgiving
and prayer, BY ceasing, so far as may
be, from their secular labors and meet
ing in their several places OF worship,
there to join in ascribing honor and
praise TO Almighty God, whose good,
ness has been 20 manifest in our history
and in our lives, and offering earnest

In witness whereof | have hereunto

CESSNA WALLopED.--It gives us
pleasure to announce the defeat of
that arrant demagogue, John Cessna,
for President Judge, by Hon William
J. Baer, the Democratic nominee, in
Bedford and Somerset counties, the
District over which Judge Hall has
presided for the past ten years. Judge
Hall was bulldozed off the track by
Cessna. The canvass was vigorous
one on tho part Of Cessna, who took
the stamp and harangued those who
deigncd to listen to him at cross roads
and school houses up to the day Of
election. Somerset county gave Baily,
the Radical nominee for State Treas.
nrer, l,44l majority, while Cessna re.
ceived but 800, and Bedford gave Mr.
Baer 1893, and he is therefore elected
by l3 majority over the biggest dema.
gogue in Pennsylvania. What back.

may have blundered, but it is rather
cheeky" for q man to reproach
another when he has done the best he
could-espeoially when the aforesaid
has been Radical, Grcenbacker and
Democrat, by turns, all within that
many years. However, it is the old
story and as true as the needle is to
the pole, that the meanest harlot in the
crowd is always the first to reproach
her frail sister Watch the "kioker, -
"nopper" aud annual "turncoat," and
you will always hear him malign and

DEAD DUCKs.-The recent election
was hard on the "kickcrs," whether

ury, in order to gain something. Then
there was a bird of the Swan pcrsua.
sion, that tried to nestle in the Com.

Radical voters did not see il in that
light. Fourteen of the thirty.cight

for Wolfe, the boiling Radical candi.

defeated Mr., Noble, our own candi'
date. 1t is bad enough for a Demo
crat to stay away from the election,
bnt it is far worse to vote for the
enemy. In Philadelphia, the Demo.
cratic nominees received about 46,5OO
votes, while Mr. Noble only received
42,475. Clearly, 1900 Democrats voted
for Wolfe. More; In Dauphin, Lack.
awanna, Luzerne, Mexican, Montgom.

Democrats also voted for Wolf, and in
that way gave their own candidate

THE "LAMENTEDo CESSNA

Everybody has heard of this Stal.
wart Radical, He was Chairman of
the Republican State Committee last
year lie took charge Of candidate
Garfield, and put boys pants on
him, purchased a canal boat, and gave
him in charge Of mule and started
him on the towpath for the White
House, and actually landed him there
safe and sound on the 4th Of March
last What tho sequel was we all
know. Now, all that Cessna asked of
his party friends for this party service
was to make him President Judge of
the Bedford and Somerset district,
which usually gives from 1900 TO ! 800
Radical minority, lie was easily
nominated, and, ,dcmagoguc like, tramp.
cd the whole district over to the dis
grace Of the Bench. The tax payers

dent Arthur should award him some
thing IN bis hour Of distress. Ouly 10

Telegraph, Radical organ, in alluding
to Cessna's case, cauterizes him after

Wrecked within sight of the land.
ing, was tho fate of Judge Cessna
and his canal boat, and great is the
rejoicing among the hardy yeomanry
of Somerset aud Bedford. The 10th
Judicial district is ssoundly Republican,
but they couldn't stand the. prospect
Of John Cessna for Judge, and so they
either took the woods on election day
or voted Tor Mr.. Baer, the Democratic
candidate. In Somerset, Baily's ma
jority is / 400 and Cessna's only 300,
figures that eloquently portray the
popularity Of the canal boat States
man, while IN Bedford, where he lived,
Republican and Democratic neighbors
kindly pushed him within sight of the
judicial haven and then LEFT him
sticking in the mud up to his neck.
Brother Cessna's canvass was alto.
gelher unique. He claimed to have
quito retired from party politics, but
entered with great detail into q per.
sonal appeal for votes. He sent out
hundreds of taffy.covered postals to
"old friends at bis birth place and
other peculiarly hallowed places, just
to remind them, you know, that he
was a candidate for the Bench and
would be very grateful, etc, etc lie
also mounted the stump and talked
and visited the schools and smiled
upon the little folks. Oh Judge
Cessna's campaign was just too sweet
for anything But the hearted
voter went up to the polls and put in
his ballot for the "other fellow" lt'r
too bad but there's one consolation
"Judgo' Cessna will stlll remain in the
political arena to amuse the spectators
For instance il wouldn't be any kind
Of State Convention at all without

has courageous tongue, but il Is not
backed up by his other members He
writes to the Irish that "they lead the
van in the struggle for right, justice
and freedom" but his health doesn't
permit him to get any nearer the front
than Boston. That's Phillips. For
twenty years before the rebellion he
gave more tongue than any other ten
men in this country; yet, when his
bowling brought on civil war, he re.
mained safely and comfortable fixed IN
Boston, persuadIng thousands of better
men TO go to the front and become
food for powder and lead. The old
moral coward will go a great way to
bring on fight, yelling for "right, jus.
tice and freedom but he will never
take a hand in tho fight He priced
his knavish hide too highly to have il
scored with sabre or punctured by q
minnie ball. II is an historical fact
that not ono in ten OF those Northern
Aboltionists, who "lampooned" the
shareholders in Boston, New York,

THE ELECTION

The result il not as we desired, The
majority in our county on the State
ticket is just three hundred (300) short
Of our calculation. But thus is easily
accounted for unpleasant as it may be.
Last year 1871 Democrats went to
the polls and voted for General Han
cock. That was right and shows TO
the world what we can do, This year
only 2,994 found their way to tho elec.
tion houses, and cast their ballots fol-
Mr.. Noble for State Treasurer. Ttcc
thousand Democrats misSiagl It is O
wonder the whole county ticket wa'
not defeated because of such absentee
ian, Only by good luck did We save
anything. Our tabular statement ap
pearing elsewhere will show the reader
just where the deinquents reside.
THE STATE.
The canvass throughout the State
was very crooked, but in the nggre
gate was favorable to the Democrats
The counties Of Bucks, Centre, Cum
berland, Mifllin, Northumberland and
Schuylkill did nobly, while Cambria
Clearfeld, Columbia, Fayette, Monroe
Pike, Westmoreland and York failed
badly, and in fact defeated Noble
which is not agreeable for us to re
port. However, when we take a glance
over the Commonwoalth's surface, We
find some bright spots. Take, for in
stance, the defeat of John Cessna fol
President Judge in that strong Radi'
cal district of Bedford and Somerset,
and the election of a Democrat of un
disputed ability and integrity. The
election of q Democrat in the room Of
Judge Junkin, in the JunOta and Perry
district, was unlocked for. But the
reelection of Judge Bucher in that
substantial Radical district, composed
OF Miflin, Snyder and Union, good foi
1900 majority, is case not to be
sneezed at, Ten years ago Judge
Bucher was elected over Woods by
nine majority, and at the late election
he carried the district over Linn by
l,75l. The Democrats also succeeded
in electlng a number of Shorifis, Pro
thonotaries, Treasurers, etc, in strong
Radical counties, while the opposition
only succeeded 10 q few instances
The split in the Radical party is be
coming wider every day, and will g
on all year, They will have an indc
pendent candidate for Governor, Con
gress and members of the Legislature
This will let the Democrats get away
with everything next year
