ED. HERALD-The Meyersdale Commercial
of the 9th inst, takes the liberty to refer to
my speech at the Weller school house, IN
this county, in which the statement is made
that my speech was mainly personal IL
rade against Gen. Koontz, F. J. Keoser,
ESQ. and other prominent members of the
Independent Republican party. In reply
/ would only say that the statement is m un-
mitigated falsehood, manufactured out of
whole cloth. As for the other epithets ap-
piled to me in the same and other articles,
they are personal, to which would disdain
to reply, since it is but the uphesvings ot
troubled waters and the foul tongue OF sian
der. Yours respectfully,
Confluence. Oct. 2s. B. A. FIcHrSER.

We ask Republican soldiers who
bouldered their guns and went
buth to fight Democratic traitors, TO
bme to the election and help to
)puelch the traitors at home. JEFF
Davis and his colleagues plotted
reason in Congress and pretended
b be still for the Union, until they
bad their plans arranged for its over
lhrow.
So with the traitors at home, they
kent to the primary elections and
foted, protesting all the time to
)e Republicans, but as soon as they
Dot ready to bolt, they forfeited their
Sledge of honor, marched out of the
karty and combining with our old
nemies, set up an Independent
6cket. What is the difference be-
ween jeff Davis treason to the
Mon, and theirs to the party ? Turn
but, soldiers, and prove to these
faitors that treason is, and always
fill be, odious.

General Campbell and Polygamy.

The democratic newspaper can al
ways be depended on to do absurd
things in New York one of the speak
ers alluded to the democratic party
as IAN organized mistake" and this
happy remark is likely to become g
national proverb. The leaders and
organs are perpetually showing wha,
adept hands they are at blunderine
and how sadly they are at sea in es
timating the intelligence of the
voters. A recent notable example
of the lack of common sense display.
ed by the average democratic news
paper is an article in the last issue
of the Somerset Democrat wherein i
is charged that Gen. Campbell voted
to sustain polygamy. The officia
rec ord shows that General Campbell
not only did not vote to sustain po
lygamy but that he steadfastly voteC
for the Edmunds bill, which is nov
the law of the land and which dis
franchises polygamists. The recorc
further shows that while every Re
publican in the house voted for tn,
Edmunds bill at every stage of it
passage through that body, over fort,
democrats voted as steadily agains
it. For instance, the eighth section
of the bill DISTINGUISHES polygamist,
and declares them ineligible To any
office in, under or for any such ter
ritory or place, or under the United
States. A democrat, Mr.. Mills .
Texas, moved to strike out this sec
ton. Forty four Democrats ano
not one republican voted to 50
strike out General Campbell and
all the other republicans present and
voting, supported the section and il
stood as a part of the bill. And on
the final passage of the bill forty two
democrats and not a single republi-
can voted against it. The anti polyg-
amy bill became a law in spite OF
the strenuous opposition of a large
body of democratic representatives
and yet democratic paper in this
district has the audacity to charge
the sins of its own party to the ac-
counts of Gen. Campbelll
But the point of the Democrat,
article, if it can he said to have a
point, consists in its attempt to make
it appear that Gen. Campbell's vote
on the resolution to seat George @.
Cannon, as delegate from Utah, was
a vote in favor of polygamy, whereas
the question of polygamy did not
enter into the matter at all. The
facts in the case are as follows;
George @. Cannon, who had al.
ready sat in congress eight years, six
of them under democratic majority
was reelected from Utah in Novem
Der. 1880, by vote of 1855 10 L.
357 over A. G. Campbell. At the
time of his reelection there was nc
law making a polygamist ineligible
to a seat in congress. 1t was not or
the ground that he was an alien
Now it SO happened that a previous
congress had passed upon this ques
ton and had decided that Cannon
was a duly naturalized citizen of the
United States. There was no at
tempt to deny that he had received
an immense majority of all the votes
cast, and the Edmunds bill did moi
become law until about eighteen
months after Cannon had been elect
ed. While this law would prevent
his election in the future it could
not affect the validity of his election
in November, 1880, since the consti.

THE DAILY ARGUS.
And More Left.

A dozen years ago a farmer came in-
to Detroit. says the Free Press with a
load of potatoes and sold them to a
grocer. A dispute arose as to the GUAM
tity. The farmer felt himself cheated
out of two bushels and he left the GRO
Ger with black eye. The grocer was
man who meant TO keep even with all
men. He therefore took his affidavit
to whip that agricultural toiler within
an inch of his life. and the longer he
waited the madden he got At the end
OF month, seeing no prospect of catch
ing the farmer in town. the grocer pro-
cured a horse and Buggy and drove out
to the farm to have it out. When with
In three miles of the place he encounter
ed man on the highway and inquired:
Can you tell me where old Silver
livesp''
Yes going to buy cattle of him?''
NO. sir. I'm going to pound him
out of his bootsn'
Il guess not! I'm old Stiver's son
and you've got to whip me first''
The grocer jumped out and battle
resulted. He polished the son off. but
it was tight squeeze. He had not
gone half mile when man who was
husking corn near the fence hailed him
with:
Did you have fight down therea''
.sWho whippedPN
81 did,
well. that was my brother you were
fighting; and may be you think you
can mash me, toon'
A second fight took place, and proved
a draw. The grocer was somewhat dis
couraged, having several loose teeth
and nose as big as his wrist, but he
drove on to the next house. A strap
ping fellow about q years old was cut
ting wood at the gate, and the grocer
drew up and asked:
How far is it to Silver S?''
(Which Stiver?''
why, the old liar Stiver's''
Stranger, the man who speaks that
way of my old dad has got to be pound
ed, remarked the chopper, and third
fight was soon on the boards. This
time the grocer had his fill, and, after
brushing the grass out of his hair. he
asked:

fought with three of his sons. Is there
another living between here and the old
man's?"
Another? Why. there are three, and
besides there are two single ones at
home who could turn you wrong-side
out in twenty seconds
The grocer drove slowly back to the
city and went to bed for week. His
mistake was in not waiting to catch the
old man home some time when all the
boys were oil fishing.
