PAY your tax.

Our Stalwart neighbors of the Esaminsr
will have to look elsewhere than to little
Delaware, If they want encouragement in
their present desperate straits
But two days more remain in which .
vo'ing tax can be paid. Let every Demo.
crat, who has the welfare of his party and
of his state at heart; give the subject i'm
mediate attention. See that your own tax
is paid, and if your Democratic neighbor
has overlooked the matter remind him of
it. Saturday is the last day. Monday will
be too late. Don't neglect this, Democrats.
DENIS KEARNEY told the sand lotters
two Sundays ago that he was watching
every day for the Incorporation of CON-
panies to corner the air and peddle it out
at 30 much per mouthful, and the light,
and sell it at 80 much a ray. He ex-
planned, however, that he didn't mean the
gaslight, Gas gas is all labor" Denis
ought to know he's been in the business
. long.
REPORTS from the Georgia election,
which took place yesterday, indicate that
Alexander H. Stephens has been chosen
governor by majority likely to reach 5O,-
600 when tho returns arc all in. Pennsyl-
vania can do as we'll as that for PaAtisou
if the Democrats stand to their guns. The
New York Times comedies that the sweep
ing Democratic victory in Georgia de-
stroys all chance of the Republicans secur-
ing one or two Of the congressional dis
tricts which they had been pleased to
record as doubtful.
THE Philadelphia Chronicle Herald has
donned new suit of type, which vastly
improves its appearance. Our sprightly
contemporary has won a creditable po-
sition among the evening journals of the
city, and is to be congratulated upon the
visible signs Of prosperity. The daily
Pottstown Ledger entered upon the first
decade of its existence on Monday last,
and the event was celebrated by the ad-
di.ion of another column to each page of
the paper. This enlargement and conse-
quent improvement is evidence that legiti-
mate journalism is not without it's reward
in PottstOwn.
THE mass meeting at the opera house
tonight will formally open the campaign
in this county and from now until election
day the work Of party organization will
60 briskly ON. This evenings speakers
need no Introduction to Lancaster Demo-
Gratis, rs their fame has already preceded
them. Chauncey F. Black is well-known
throughout the country. not only as an
able publicist, bat also as the founder Of
the movement to revive the principles
jefferson. Candidate Elliott is famed
throughout the whole northern tier. of
counties as al able lawyer and brilliant
speaker. Ex-Congressman Steuger, VINO
made such an acceptable record in Wash.
ington, is also an incisive orator and a
livs;y rattliug of the Republican skeleton
may be expected. Let Democrats and all
citizens, irrespective of party, who wish to
hear calm, dispassionate discussion of
state issues, attend.
OuR contemporary, the Examiner, will
have to take in the able editorial para.
graph on Delaware's little election -
that appeared in it's columns last evening
and revise it to meet the facts. After all
the boasting of the notorious Dick Har-
rington, OF safe burglary fame, who is now
the head of the Republican state organza-
ton, it appears from the complete returns
OF the election that the Democrats cf
Delaware, SO Ear from meeting a " Water
loo have led their own and retained
control Of the board of election cauvassers,
which was the only point involved in the
preliminary skirmish. The Democrats
didn't make half an effort, either, but it
was just enough to keep the election ma
chinery free from the def ling touch of
Harrington and his ilk. The Blue Hens
Chickens after tantalizing the safe burg
lar into the belief that they were going to
allow him to catch them have roasted
high enough to prevent him from getting
hold Of their tail feathers, and with the
customary cock a doodle-doo remarked in
their own aggravating way. you know,
i" not this year, Mr.. Harrington-nor any
other year."
