a FIENDIsH TRAGEDY.-A most blood
curdling homicide occurred about fourteen
miles from CaTksburg. w. Va, on Saturday
morning ABOUT l clock. John r. Boggess
j., killed his wife and daughter, aged thir-
teen while in a f. of mental arrangement in
duced by strong drink. He attacked his wife
while in bed. She called a daughter, who
came and assisted her mother to get loose
from the grasp of her father. They then fed
from the house, and he grabbed large iron
poker and followed. Overtaking his wife he
hit her two blows, the last of which proved
fatal 1t seems the daughter had come up to
help save her m other and with one blow he
killed her also. The other children fed.
When found the mother and daughter were
lying together in the road near their home,
dead. BOggeSS was found in the house in a
state OF intOXicatiOn. He denied the killing
or knowing anything about it. lie was a
welLto-do farmer. living at Rock Camp,
Harrison county, OF an old and respectable
famiiy. The occurrence created great ex-
citement, and is without parallel in that sec
tion.

A NEW MOVE OF THE ENEMY.

The desperation to which the Stalwart
leaders are driven in the present cam
paign is induced by their desperate et-
forts to organize methods that is hoped
to secure success.
First they insulted the Irish vote by
an open and shameless attempt to pur-
chase it through few assumed leaders
and a pretense of sympathy for Irish
wavs and Irish woes. The early and
complete exposure of this effort turned
it upon its projectors, and in place of
aiding the Stalwart cause, only weaken
ed aud demoraliZed it.
The next move was a systematic at
tempt to bTibe election officers to secure
fraudulent returns. The knowledge that
detectives were on the watch for such
crimes, brough that movement to sud-
den termination.
Next came whispers of vast amounts
of money, by which the voters of the
State were to be purchased like so many
sheep, but the stringent election laws
and the fact that large rewards are of
fered for evidence of the violation or at
tempted violation of any of them, made
this very doubtful as well as a danger
Gus method Of carrying elections, and it
has for the present been abandoned.
Their last idea is probably the most
plausible and least dangerous of any.
1t Is simply to perfect the radical orQani-
cation IN eUery district IN the Stdte-qo
into country districts lCjtb large amounts
of money and PAY DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
TO REMAIN AWAY FROM THE POLLS,
Some will be hired to go hunting-oth-
eIs TO go visiting, others to have impor-
tant business away from home on cleo
tion day, and others to simply stay away
from the polls.
This is the last move they have adop-
ted, and as there is no penalty for pay
ing man to go hunting or to stay at
bone from election, it is the one they
vii. try to carry out when the proper
time comes.
WE WARN YOU, DEMOCRATS, BE ON
YOUR GUARD.
Our success is as certain as the sun
shines on cloudless day, if the Demo-
cratic vote of the State is pOlled. Go
to work and complete your organization
in the most thorough manner. Make
your canvasses of votes and ascertain if
our men are all right. Warn them of
the efforts that will be made to induce
them to remain away from the polls, and
spot the men who make excuses for not
taking an interest in SO important an
election,
We do not believe there are a score of
Democrats in the State dirty or detesta-
BILE enough to sell themselves for the
pittance that would be offered them to
remain away from the polls, but many
honest and unthinking men may be in
duced to join party of hunters, go on
a visit, hired to do a days work that
wolld require him to be absent from the
polls, never thinking at the time that he
was being bought to lose his vote, ard
thus allow the radical ringsters to re-
tain control of the State government.
Again we say, be on your guard-put
Others on their guard-and see to it that
not one vote is left at home on election

For what purpose does Cooper intend
using the enOrrOus fund he has cOllec-
ted from the swarm of Office-holders in
plain violation of the platform upon
which Beaver stands These forced
assessments are believed to have brought
into COOper's treasury not less than three
hundred thousand dollars. while the le-
gitimate expenses of a campaign in this
State ought not to amount to more than
0ne-tenth of that sum. In addition to
this, it is pretty well known that Don
Cameron has contributed twenty-five
thousand dollars as an addition to the
fund and that it will 6e largly increased
by contributions from wealthy Repub-
licans devoted to Cameron's s interests all
over the State. There can be but one
purpose for which if is intended, and
that is to corrupt voters and in other in
direct and effectual ways to strengthen
the Cameron machine 1t is humili-
ating reflection that the votes Of some
men can be bought, but long experience
has shown that such is the fact. not only
in Pennsylvania. but every other State
in the Union. The most stringent pen
al laws against the infamous practice
will be evaded and the base purpose of
materially debauching the elective fran
chise will be accomplished in spite of
them. and in such way as to screen
the perpetrators from punishment. Gen.
Beaver, who is held up to the world as
a moral man and a Christian, knows as
we'll as Cameron and Cooper for what
purpose this unprecedented corruption
fund will be used. Can it be employed
successfully in the only possible way
that must suggest itself to every man of
ordinary intelligence ? This question
must and viii be answered at the ballot
boxes in November. The Beaver cam
paign from now until the election will
be a campaign of cash. Cameron knows
and feels that the clock is about to strike
the hour Of his doom or triumph. His
last hope is in his ability to corrupt pub
lie sentiment by tTeIav expenditure
Of money; but our faith in the integrity
of the people is so strong that we refuse
to believe in the possibility of their po-
litical degradation until the unpleasant
fact forces itself upon us.

Two HIGHLY MORAL CANDIDATES.
The StalwaTt State Committee in New
York, like Cooper 5 Committee in Penn
sylvania, proposes to depend entirely on
the use of money in the campaign to Sc
cure the success of the ticket. Jay Hub
bell, the renowned blacklnalling cham
piOn of the party, has been called over
for consultation and has given his Opin-
ion as to the best means of raising mon
ey, besides generously Offering to furnish
a complete list of federal Office holders
in the State. These office-holders have
already been assessed by Hubbell, but
that does not make any difference to the
Committee They will be compelled to
suffer another assessment of two and
one half per cent. of their salaries,
which, it is calculated, will place two
hundred thousand dollars in the Golfers
of the committee. They will also be
assessed by the county committees.
The lot of the Federal ice-hOlder in
New York just now is not much hap
pier than that of similar officials in
Pennsylvania. The Stalwart State Com
mittee will also have all State officers to
draw upon and 1t is expected to raise
fully one million dollars, Secretary
FOlger, like Beaver in Pennsylvania, ex-
poets to make capital out of his respect
ability and high moral character, yet
like General Beaver, he will look calm
ly on while this immense sum of money
is being expended, knowing full well
that only a small portion of it will be
required for the legitimate expenses of
the campaign and that the bulk of it
will be used for corrupt purposes. 1t is
the deliberate and open intention of both
of these eminently respectable gentle
men to profit by downright corruption

STARTLING FACTS FOR TAXPAYERS
TO CONSIDERABLE following startling
array of facts we give without comment.
1t Is Il statement that comes not from a
Democratic speaker, nor Democratic
writer, but from no less a parsonage
that Hon. Eli SliteT, who was Secretary
of State under Gov Curtin. 1t is taken
from his speech at a Stalwart meeting
at Lewisburg, on Monday evening, Sep
tenbeT 18th, and contains much for the
OYerJurdeued taxpayers to ponder over:
The ordinary expenditure for State govern
ment in 1860 was S947, ,92l. 81. This, after the
wars close, was annually rapidly increased
SO that in 1880, including half the expense of
Legislature for 1879, properly chargeable to
so, 1t reached the enormous figure of S4-
912, 1889, the fraction above ITS millions be-
ing more than the entire cost in 1860, and the
entire sum just about five and a fourth times
greater thar twenty years before. This sum,
eXtraVagant as it is, does not include the ex-
traOrdi9dry payments for purposes resulting
directly from the war, nor payment of inter-
est or principal on public debt. A like ratio
of interest would in eighteen years from now
make the annual expenditure for ordinary
state purposes over twenty-SiX millions of
dollars. No man can-nO man wilI-iustify
