JUDGE FoLGER, Secretary of the
Treasury, in a letter to a Republi-
can meeting held at Albany, New
York, on Thursday last, says: "The
"clairn after the Ohio election that
'the next House of Representatives
will be Democratic, has caused a
"shrinkage of forty millions of dol
liars in value of the great prosperi-
"ties of the country, and that the
"shrinkage has been going on since.
"He asks if the business interests of
''the country look with dread to a
return of the Democratic party to
"power, and if it is a well-founded
dread, whether the election of the
Democratic ticket in New York will
s'increase it. These he saws are
questions for hesitating Republi-
leans to ponder oyer" And we ask
all intelligent men in Pennsylvania
to think well before they cast their
votes in direction that will lend
the influence of this State to the re-
turn of the Democrats to power in
Congress.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1882-10-25

THE withdrawal of Captain Con
ley, the Independent candidate fol
Senator, leaves a clear field for Hon
Jacob II. Longenecker, and insures
his election over Mr.. Reynolds, the
Democratic candidate. Mr.. Longen-
ecker is Republican who has held
aloof from the strife of discordant ele-
mentS now endangering the success
Of the party, and is therefore an ac-
ceptable candidate to all the Repub-
licans of Bedford and Fulton coun-
ties, and we believe that, with very
few exceptions, he will be heartily
supported in this County. He is
certainly as admirable candidate
as could have been selected, and we
solicit for him the vote of every man
in this county who is anxious to
have the district represented in the
Senate by a tried and true Republi-
can.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1882-10-25

THE true friends of our late Presi.
dent are justly indignant at the bolt,
ers in New York and elsewhere for
calling themselves Garfield Repub
licans." The Warren Tribune, the
leading Republican journal of the
Garfield district, indignantly brands
it as case of stealing the livery OF
Heaven to serve the Devil in. Gen.
eral Garfield" it says, was always
true to his party. He would have
scorned to do aught to injure his
own party or aid the enemy. he
never boited. never sulked in his
tent. He was simply IA Republican
everywhere and all the time"
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1882-10-25

The next Legislature will make
an apportionment of the State iEto
Legislative, Senatorial, Congressional
and Judicial Districts, which will
continue until after the next census
Does any Republican wish the Dem
ocrats to form these districts ? They
can SO gerrymander the State as to
imperil Republican ascendency in
two succeeding Legislatures which
will elect L. S. Senators and enable
them also to secure majority of the
Congressman. Is any Republican
prepared for this ? If not, vote solid
for Campbell, Longenecker, Colborn
and Morgan.
