will give their candidate a rousing re-
,eption, and good results may be antici-
pated from his visit.
UP, boys, and at them.
PATTIsoN will be here tonight. SO will
the gallant Democracy of Lancaster.
THERE will DO music along the line
next Tuesday and it will sound sweetly IN
Democratic ears.
WE learn of an individual, CONNER
cial drummer it was, who hadn't heard OF
the comet until he got to Lancaster, and
he was so sorry he wouldn't be able to see
it, as no had to leave the town the same
night!
DEMOCRATS will keep a sharp lookout
for persons attempting to vote on the
fraudulent tax receipts stolen from the
Office of Collector Vondersmith. A num-
ber of them have been traced and tho
holders of them are known. All such
might as we'll know that if they attempt
to vote they will be arrested.
TIE discovery of an attempt to vitiate
the ballot in this city by the theft of a
large number of tax receipts and their dis
tribution among persons not entitled to
vote should be followed mp by an effort to
ferret out the scOundrels who have under
taken the monstrous fraud and bring them
to punishment. The Times points out that
there are men who formerly occupied high
seats in the boss synagogue, who are now
serving terms in the penitentiary for crimes
very similar to this one that has been
traced close to the doors Of some of the
Stalwart sub bosses right around home.
SENATOR COKE supplements the offer of
rewards made by the chairman of the
Democratic state committee, by proposing
to advance from his own private means
liberal sum to be given to any person WHO
shall expose attempts to corrupt the bal
lot by the diversified means 80 well known
to the return tinkers, ballot box stuffcrs
and others of their ilk. Mr.. Coke evident
ly means business, and it is believed his
offer will have the effect of checking the
vile schemes of fraud and corruption that
were contemplated by the Stalwart bosses
BEAVERS campaign of tergiversation
still goes briskly on. He denied ever hav.
ing said at Doylestown that Don Cameron
was "a little man." or rather he insisted
that his remark had reference to his ply
sical and not his intellectual being. He
denied the bitter and unmanly attack he
mado on the Independents in his speech
in this city. And now he denies IN toto a
conversation which is alleged to have
taken place during his recent visit to this
county, in which he admitted his subser-
vience to Cameron. Poor Beaver, with his
endless evasions and silly drivel about
"standing shoulder to shoulder, touching
elbows in this fight" presents more
pitiable spectacle than Grant, who, rs a
warrior, won the highest honors in tho
gift of the American people, and as 4
citizen lost them all.
Mrs. LANGTRY has had an unfortunate
in PRODUCTION to tho American stage in the
burning Of the theatre in which she was
to have appeared on the very eve Of her
first performance. In contemplating tho
disaster that has for a time deprived tho
New York public Of tho opportunity of
Judging the dramatic capacity of tho new
histrionic star that las so lately flashed
upon tho theatrical armament Oh tho
other sido of the Atlantic it is we'll to con-
template in spirit of Thanksgiving tho
narrow escape that has been made from 4
holocaust such as shocked the civilized
world at tho burning of the Brook
lyn theatre or tho moro recent
destruction of tho Rink theatre
in Vienna. Had the flames in New
York broken out few hours later, when
the building would have been crowded
with human beings, the sacrifice of life
would in all probability have been ter
rible, rs the fire is said to have spread
with frightful rapidity. 1t view, therefore.
of the possibility of the latter catastrophe
which providentially did not come to pass,
the people of the country, with full sympa.
thy for the Jersey Lily's keen disappoint-
ment, and the heavy financial losses of
her entcrprising manager, may feel a Ger
tain sense of relief in tho thought that it
is not SO bad as it g might have been.''
