How to Honor earfsld's Msnory.

Let it be known that Thomas GOrsuch,
the Republican candidate for Comptroller
of the State Treasury, is Grant ODkling
Republican, and that it was this wing of
the party that had the quarrel with Presi-
dent Garfield that resulted in his assassi-
nation. Every Republican, therefore, who
desires to honor the memory of Garfield
will strike the name of Gorsueh from his
ticket. Moreover, Mr.. Gorsuch was an
active member of the Know Nothing party.
The Frederick E.camiiasr, his home organ,
is authority for this statement.

DAMAGING Analysis.
SsS6 5S5,5s


The above table was reproduced in the
Sentinel last week from its columns two
years ago. The table was dissected and
analysed by the ADVOCATE in 1879, and
the figures completely turned to Demo
cratic advantage. That the Sentinel has
again published it, is conclusive proof that
the Republican party has run out of argu-
ments against Democratic rule. The Sen
anel, however, feeling that it must keep
up show of fight, has republished the
tables.
If the reader will examine the tables he
win discover that the Republican party
increased county expenses from s2O,695.-
So, in 1856, to SOS, 1924, in 1867
difference of s4S,O26.S6. Under Demo
cratic rule expenses increased from $685.
ASS, so, in 1868, 10 sS3, 1852 in 1879,-
a difference of $50, 1898.
Had the Republicans been continued in
power for twelve years longer, at the rate
they were going, of increasing the expeu-
ses at an average of S4,002.22 annually,
the expenses in 1879 would have been
s1l6,749.60, instead of $50, 1882, under
Democratic rule. Dedueting premiums
allowed on prompt payments, and insol-
yeucies and attachments, the Commission
ers in 1ssO-s1 only used sTs,s93.9L
Dat of that sum the present Board Of
Commissioners have built a number Of
bridges, paid nearly $4,000 offhe county
de5taud have to day SEE. 000i in the Treas
ury.
County expenses, in the aggregate, have
been higher under Democratic rule than
under Republican, but it must be remem-
bered that when the Republicans went out
of power there was no money in the Treas
ury, the bank account oyerdrawn, debt
of $4,000 and interest owing to Joshua
Smith, aud a Bounty debt of s74,4l0.
Not only this. but the Republicans had no
public schools to maiutaiu, for which the
Democrats have levied and spent in lhe
ueighborhood Of $3.50, 600 since they as
sumed management in 1868. Since 1868
there have been paid, under Democratic
rule, s6055 TO Joshua Smith, the bank
deficiency, and s26,9l5 Of the Bounty
Debt. The actual debt Of the county over
assets, to day, is less than $1,000. As
above stated, the Democrats have each year
appropriated s2l 600 for the support Of
public schools, five add s2l 900 to the
amount spent BY the last Republican Board.
s6s, 722.7 u, We have SIS, 722.T4, an amount
greatly in excess Of what any Democratic
Board spent from 1868 to 1879. except in
the year 1878.
The grouping Of the figures by the Sea
tiMel is not fair, nor was il intended to Be
fair, otherwise they would have added in
the Democratic table that Bounty eertis
Gates we're reduced. just as they did IN the
Republican table
No matter about ,heir figures, the fact
Is ,ha, the last Republican Board Of
Coanty Commissioners levied 70 eeHts "a
ne SEQ for eoanty expenses add we're
running the county 10 debt. The Preseu,
Board is usiag oaiy 81 eeats on sts Sit0
for county purposes tl3 eeuis going Cor
schools aud is paying of the eOunty debt
rapidly. There are now $4,000 in the
Treasury, portion Of which vii shortly
be used in redcemiug outstanding indebt-
edness. paying November court expenses,
paying public road bills aud paying for
public schools.

Publishing The Laws.


The law authorizing the publication Of
the laws IN the newspapers loas passed ~
Rspabiieaa Legislature, aud during
Radical rale aoze bal Radical papers were
given the laws to publish, exesPs in eOua-
ties where there was no Radical paper
The law requires the publication Of the
laws ia papers having the largest eireHia-
tion, aud under Radical rule, as now, the
Democratic paPers throughout the State,
except in a very few instances, had the
largest cireslatioRs Under Democratic
management the law is properly admins
tered uhder Radical raie Il 'oas not.
One would suppose from the liss Of pa
pers that published she laws, 10 the last
.Seatil.el, that none but Democratic papers
ever published the laws, when the fact is
that no Democratic paper was asked to
publish them, under Republican rule, ex
eept where the Radical managers were
obliged to do so.
Now let the Senfissl publish the list of
the Radical papers that published the laws,
and the amounts they received. If it has
not the list, perhaps it can tell how much
Il received, and how the amounts eompar-
cd, matter considered, with Democratic
charges. The Sentinel might look back
over its files about the time the law was
passed authorizing the publication of the
law, and see whether it did not endorse
the act as proper one. We doubt if the
Sentinel has the fairness to do it. With
holding facts aud misrepresentation is its
forte

Attend the Democratic meeting at the
Court House tonight Saturday.

Let every white man remember that it
was the Radical party that enacted the
law that eonpels our courts to put negroes
in the jury-bOx, and places at their mercy
our lives, our liberties and cur property.
Remember that it is the Democratic party
alone that stands between you aud negro
equality. A vote for the Democratic
party is a vote for white supremacy.

How About This Assessment

A supposed contributor to the editor
ial columns of the Sentinel, and who has
much to say about high assessments, re-
Gently bought piece of property for So
800. The property has been considerably
improved since the purchase, yet it is as
sessed at only $4,000. The supposed
Sentinel contributor values the property,
Il is stated, at $4,000. Now these ques-
lions arise Did the property sell too low !?
is the assessment too high ? or does the
owner place too high value on it

Adam Clark.

Every voter who is opposed to the pro-
scriptivc policy of the old Know Nothing
party will strike the name of Adam Clark,
the Republican candidate for Sheriff, from
his ticket, as he was an active member of
that organization. Doubtless he still car
ries in his breast his old hatred for for
eigners and Catholics, and somewhere
among his effects, possibly, may be found
the old Dark Lantern he used 10 his mid
night crusades against them.

Another of the rascals engaged in the
steal of the Presidency in 1876 has come
to grief. James f. Anderson, of Louis

State, by which Tilden was cheated out of
the Presidency, has been SO badly beaten
in Nevada that his life is despaired of.

A MucH.INsuRED CoLoRED NAN DEAD.-
Henry Stewart, colored, aged about so years,
who at one time was insured for Sl25, 600,
died Saturday night in Harrisburg, Pa. Last
summer Stewart came near dying, and the
symptoms Of his disease strongly indicated
poisoning. His illness was due to drinking
whisky adulterated with strychnine. Several
of the persons who held policies on his life
are said to have given liquor vendors orders
to give him all the whisky he wanted and
charge the amount to them. This is about all
he received for allowing himself TO be insur-
ed. The relatives of the old man will take
steps to enjoin the companies in which he
has been Insured from paying to the men who
held policies on his life.
