the interests of our country that de-
pend upon a protective tariff for
existence. 1t is of no use to say that
PENNSYLVANIA Democrats are for the
tariff, for they are unsafe and cannot
be trusted. Geo. NJ. Dallas treach-
erv years ago is an illustration of the
fact that they will put the behests OF
the party above what the Bourbon
leaders call local demands. King
caucus will rule the party and the
Free Traders will rule the caucus,
and as the loss of one Republican
member of the Legislature may put
the Democrats in power and the leg
islation of the country in their
hands, it would be great political
blunder for US to lose a single one it
is possible tp elect.

THAT the Independent" move
ment is engineered for the purpose,
not of electing Stewart, but of throw
ing the State into the hands of the
Democrats is now proven by the ad-
mission of their great leader Charles
S. Wolfe. Three respectable farm
ers of his own county (Union) assert
and will swear to the fact that. on
saying to him they did not see any
use in voting for Stewart because he
could not be elected, he replied
well, / knop ace can't elect Stewart,
but aoe can eject Pdttisoa, and that is
the only way We can get rid of the
bosses"

Mr.. FRANK HURD is 10 be pushed
for the Speakership of the next Con
gress by the Free-Traders in the
Democratic party. His canvass has
been begun already. The Toledo
Journal nominates him for the place
and says: "he is the exponent OF
aggressive Democracy and the lead
ing exponent of the distinctive char
acteristic of the party, Free Trade.
Let Sam Randall and his protective
heresies step aside and let the fresh
blood and brains of the party as em-
bodied in Mr.. Hurd have a chance.

Horse Thieves Nearing Justice.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE police
authorities of this city believe that
they have made an arrest that will
lead to the breaking up of a desper-
ate gang of horse thieves who have
long operated in Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey and
Delaware. Last Saturday morning
Detective Acton took into custody
Milton Mundy, on a warrant sworn
out before United States Commis-
sioner c. S. Bundy by Mr.. Cyrus
A. Colvin, of Lancaster, Pa, charg-
ing Munday with receiving and dis
posing OF his horse, wagon and
harness, valued at $500. in the vii
lage of Rockville, Md. The prison
er was taken to police headquarters,
where he has since been confined
awaiting hearing. In this partic-
ular case Mr.. Colvin missed his
horse and wagon on the morning of
the 10th of September and traced
the property to Rockville, where he
found it had been sold by Mundy to
a party in that village. He procur-
ed writ Of replevin and recovered
his horse, wagon and harness and
traced the men to this city, where he
was found as stated living with a
new wife. He had married less
than two weeks since near Rock
vile.

Killed His Son and Himself.

CINCINNATI, Oct l7.-This morn
ing William Laube, a gardener, aged
60 years, living near the western
boundrv of this city. shot his son
William Laube, Jr., and then cut his
own throat. Both are dead Tn.
father and son have been on bad
terms for some time Early this
morning quarrel began, wher,
the father seized n gun and shot the
son dead. The young Laube was
thirty years old. He was shot by
his father several ears ago and Grip
pied. The elder Laube is spoken oi
as dangerous man when under tn.
influence of liquor, and he was much
addicted to drink. The Young man
had wife and several children, with
whom his father lived The murder
er was eccentric and cooked aud
washed for himself. 1t is supposed
that he slept in the barn all night in
order that he might shoot his son
when the latter went to feed the
stock. He always carried razor
with him.

O'Clock this afternoon, Zach. Booth

in police circles as "A desperate man

Officer Atlee Mercer, of the Sixth

months ago Booth, who bad been

THE Republicans have thus far
made heavy gains in Maine, Oregon
and West Virginia. while they have
lost in Ohio, through a prohibitory
issue. Thus far thirty-two Congress
men have been elected-sixteen of
them Republicans and sixteen Dem
ocrats. This is a gain of five Con-
gressmen, all from Ohio, and it
leaves but two Republican majority
III the House. Pennsylvania has
seven close districts, and if the Re-
publicans do not turn out they may
all be lostt if there is full turnout,
two Republican Congressman will be
gained.

A DEMOCRATIC editor of a South
Carolina paper writing to friend in
Massachusetts says: Ere this you
have heard of the Lancaster massa-
ere. Cash was there and spoke ; the
intolerant spirit was aroused, the re-
suit of which was four colored men
killed and eighteen or twenty wound
ed. The only fair way to get an
honest expression of opinion at the
next election is for United States
troops to hold the elections all over
the State. 1t cannot be done other
wise, as the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party say they are determined
to carry the election at any cost"

CAN the Republicans of pennsyl-
vania afford to give the state admin
istration to democratic spoilsmen
and enthrone them in power for
years to come? Nothing is clearer
than the simple fact that either Bea-
yer or Pattison must be elected Gov
ernor. Whatever vote Mr.. Stewart
nay poll, be it large or small, there
is no pretence that he can by any
possibility be elected. Every vote
cast for him only endangers Repub-
lican supremacy and makes Demo-
cratic domination possible. Inde-
pendent Republicans should think
well and hesitate long time before
thus allowing themselves to became
assistant Democrats. All true Re-
publicans should stand by their
guns. Fight the battle of reform
inside your own lines, but present
an unbroken front to the ehemy.
By doing so you will win double
victory-prevent a democratic tri-
umph and enthrone Reform in Re-
publican policy.

GENERAL BEAVER is gaining
strength every day and will continue
to do so until the election. He was
the undoubted choice of vast ma.

unimpeachable character and record,
no true Republican can refuse to
support him.

an impossibility for the Republicans

ten years. A Democratic majority

THERE remain now butt weeks
in which the work of the campaign
can be carried on. 1t is very neces-
sary that Republicans all over the
country arouse themselves to the
importance of the present contest
and the necessity of leaving nothing
undone that will contribute to our
party's success. The election this
fall cannot be robbed of its political
importance by any speclous pleas
for reform" or impassioned appeals
against "bossism" and the mia
chine" The evils complained OF, II
they exist in the measure and with
the effect charged, can be success
fully remedied within the party
itself. Reform within the party will
effect cure reform outside of the
party can only kill. The issue now
presented to the Republicans of
Pennsylvania is this: Shall Beaver
be elected Governor, or shall the
Republican party be defeated and
Pennsylvania given to the control of
the Democracy? 1t is not ques-
ton of reform. 1t is a question Of
life or death for the Republican
party of Pennsylvania and the con-
tinued supremacy of that party in
the Nation.

half-past ten O'Clock this morning a
shooting affray took place i'll this
city between Mayor Thomas O'Con.
nor, Gen. James Mabry, Sr, and
James A. Mabry, Jr., in which all
three were killed. The town is in a
state of terrible excitement over the
event. Mabrv became involved in a
quarrel with O'Connor, during the
progress of which Mabry, Jr., at
tempted to defeat his father, and in
the melee all three were killed. Gen
Mabry and Mayor O'Connor are
said to have been conspicuous fol
gallantry in the Confederate army
and well known in Tennessee and

We hardly deem it necessary to
urge at length upon Republicans
the duty of giving our District and
County tickets Il united and ener-
getic support. The Independent
candidates for Congress and Senator
having withdrawn, there is now no
reason why all Republicans should
not unite in supporting General
Campbell for Congress, and Mr..
LoDgenecker for the Senate. Both
are good and tried men, and both
have stood aloof from the factional
troubles that now disturb the unity
of the party. Will any man that
knows them say that Colborn and
Morgan are not the equals, if not the
superiors of Seibert and Sorber, and
if elected will not honestly and faith
fully discharge the duties OF their
offices? !? Why, then, should these
gentlemen, who were regularly nom
mated according to the usages of the
party, be set aside for two kickers
for whom three hundred men in the
county did not vote at their bogus
delegate election? There is no safe
ty, friends, but by supporting the
entire regularly nominated ticket,
and we can assure you that it Is go
ing to be triumphantly elected.

The New York free trade journals
conspicuously the Herald, Times and
Ercning Post, are frantically in favor
of the utter rout and defeat of the
Republican party in Pennsylvania
There is not doubt but their zeal
in this matter is owing to their be

an entering wedge for the destruc
ton of a protective tariff. The
American free traders and theil
British bosses will hold high carni
val should the ticket headed by
Beaver he defeated.

STEWART has been charging in
his speeches that Beaver betrayed
Pennsylvania by voting for General
Grant at Chicago, when a
majority of the Republicans
were for Blaine. Yet, in 1876, Stew
art, who was delegate to the Gin
cinnati convention, voted steadily
for Hartranft, when the Republicans
of Pennsylvania were as earnestly
for Blaine as they were in 1880.
Hon. Thad. Mahon, resident of
Stewards own town, (Chambersburg)
thus put it in speech a few days
since:
Who did Mr.. Stewart vote for at
the National ConvaA;ion, OF which
he was the delegate from this dis
trict, at Cincinnati? Instead of vot-
ing for Blaine, as his constituents
wanted him to do, he stuck to the
bosses" and voted for Hartrantt TO
satisfy them. On the second ballot
four of the Pennsylvania delegation
broke loose from the unit rule and
voted for Blaine. The chairman de-
cided they had perfect right to do
it, and they did for every ballot at-
ter. But Mr.. Stewart was not one
of them He remained with the
bosses" and allowed them to cast
his vote for Hartranft when he knew
he was doing directly opposite what
his constituents wanted him to do.
On the last ballot the entire Penn
sylvania delegation voted for Blaine,
but it was too late, and Hayes was
nominated. Mr.. Mahon said, let
Mr.. Stewart deny this and he would
prove it to him, but he thought there
was no danger OF the would-be Gov
ernor doing ny thing of the kind.
At the time of the Cincinnati Con-
vention Mr.. Stewards political am
bition had not been nipped in the
bud and personal spite had not won
the victory over principle. Since
that time Mr.. Stewart has changed
some of his views. But he should
not blame the innocent with an Of
fense of which he has been guilty.
His Independent candidacy is the
most pretentious political fraud Of
the day.
