THE IRISH VOTE.

The managers of the stalwart cam
paign know very well that unless they
can make a break in the Democratic
ranks, that the game is all up with
them. They have attempted to pur-
chase the labor vote by using Arm
strong as stool pigeon; they have
bought up an occasional individual sup
posed to have some local political ipfu-
ence, and whose price was not over five
hundred dollars; they hold the colored
vote with very uncertain grip, and it
is likely to slip from them at any mo-
ment. But now the Republican party
appears in an entirely new role. 1t has
suddenly become the friend of the
Irishman, and is endeavoring to secure
his vote by the blackest and most con-
temptible of lies. For years Repub-
icans have been calling the Democratic
party, party of ignorance, superstition
and fraud, and the reason why they
have applied such epithets to us is be-
cause the Irish generally vote the
Democratic ticket For years they
have insulted and slurred the Irishmen
of this country, but now when they
want their votes they suddenly discover
that the Democratic party is not the
friend of the Irishman. If the Irish
vote is cast for Pattison his election is
as certain as the sun rises. Realizing
this fact, the corrupt and unscrupulous
leaders are making fiual effort to cap
ture that vote. Weeks ago the Phila-
delphia Times exposed the plan. De-
laney, paid agent of Cameron, secur.
ed the names of 10000 Irish Catholics
in this state, and sent to them circulars
containing false speech alleged to
have been made by Pattison in which
he is charged with saying that the
COS and the Macs must 60 to the rear. u
Mr.. Pattison declares he never used the
language, the respectable dailies that
reported the speech at the time, say
that there was no such thing in it, and
yet after all this the lie is stuck to, and
by some means got into the New York
Tablet Catholic Republican paper
The Tablet has been sent, or will he,
to the 10000 persons whose names De
laney has, and it is likely that every
Irishman in this county will get copy
of it. The publisher of the Repu6lican
is taking care that every one in this
town shall see the article, and it is
really amusing to see his friendly ap-
proaches to men whom but a few years
ago he called "the scum of the land"
''copperhead" and other like appella-
tions. Will a single Irish voter be
caught by such chaff' For years the
Republican party has denounced and
deceived them, the Democratic party
has befriended them, and now, can it be
possible that fabricated lie will lead
the Irish voter into the camp of their
own worst enemy3 No, and the vote
of next Tuesday will show that the
labor vote and the Irish vote has been
cast almost solidly for Robert f. Patti
son, the friend of the oppressed and
the guardian of the tax payers interest.

HON. JOHN B. STORM.

Between this and next Tuesday Cir
culars will be sent out denouncing Mr.
Storm as a free trader and the foe of
the laboring man. 1t is to be issued SO
late In the campaign as to afford no
opportunity for reply or explanation.
This is a cowardly mode of political
warfare, and no party will resort to it
unless driven to desperation. The OBJ
ject of the circular is to injure Mr..
Storm in the mining and manufactur-
ing portions of the district and to af.
feet the party generally. MIR. Storm
has on every occasion when an oppor-
tunity was afforded, denounced the
charges made against him. The very
remark they are quoting TO prove him
free trader, was made in defense of a
tariff for revenue, and in the interest
of the laboring classes. His whole
public life is proof of the falsity of
these campaign yarns. If Mr. Storm
were free trader he could not have
our support. The people of this dis
trict have to choose between an able
lawyer, a man of pubic experience on
one side, aud beardless youth on the
other, TO represent them in Congress,
Mr.. Storm will have the usual majority
of about 5000.

TO THE DEMOCRATS OF COLUMBIA
COUNTY

At no time during the last twenty
two years has there been as bright a
prospect for the election of the Dem.
ocratic State ticket, as there is this
Fall.
Our common foe are disheartened
and as a last desperate effort, are en-
deayoring to divert Democratic votes
from the regular Democratic ticket.
Let every Democrat beware of the
advance of the enemy and be sure to
see that his ticket contains the names
of all the Democratic nominees, from
Governor down to Jury Commissioner.
Every Democrat should constitute
himself committee OF one to see that
all the Democratic votes in his neigh
borhood are polled.
Forward !! And victory will be ours.

Secretary, Chairman.

Ex- United States Senator Hon. Balm
bridge Wadleigh Of New Hampshire
delivered an address before a large
number of independents at Keene, last
week, at which time he arraigned the
Republican party, as controlled by the
machine, for their extravagance and
corruption. Mr.. Wadleigh was one of
the ablest United States Senator's in his
day. Although elected to the senate
by the Republicans, yet he was oppo-
sed to Grant, Boss Shepherd, Roscoe
Conkling, and others, who attempted
to crush the freedom of the press. His
bold stand for independence at this time,
will tell upon the election in New Hamp-
shire.
81 never cast vote" said Mr..
Wadleigh, (which did not bear the
names of the Republican candidates.
/ stood, may say, by the cradle of the
Republican party; Cop grant it may
not rot and die in its own corruption
l am here tonight against my interests,
to do what we can to rescue it from
the domination of the selfish men who
use and debase it, and who will destroy
it if the honest Republican masses do
not rise and prevent them. Look at
the injury such men have wrought on
the Republican party. Recall the long
| list of their infamies. Time to enumer-
ate them all would fail me- l will re-
call only few. Think of the sickening
revelations of the Credit Mobilier inves-
tigation, in which the greatest rogues
escaped the Pacific Mail subsidy steal,
under the hypocritic pretence of reviv-
ing American commerce; the countless
rascalities of the District of Columbia
Ring, with their crowning infamy, the
safe burglary conspiracy; Secretary
of War selling Offices: Secretary of
the Navy making corrupt and illegal
contracts and selling our war ships for
old junk the gigantic crooked whiskey
frauds; the blaokmailing of Legislation
by conspiracies of lobbyists and Office
holders; the MULIGAN letters; public
men acquiring millions of dollars in a
few years, nobody knows how the pub
lie service made the currency to pay
political debts with; the star route
frauds, whose chief perpetrator, his as
sociates in the Republican National
Committee dare not to remove from its
Chairmanship!"
After pointing out clearly the frauds
that had been perpetrated by thos
who are now sustaining the administra-
tion, Mr.. Wadleigh gave his remedy
for this great evil that is being perpet-
rated, as follows:
"As for me- he said, 81 say frankly
that will vote for Mr.. Edgerly, not
as Democrat, but as an honest man.
am sure that if he is elected we, as
citizens of the Granite State, shall never
be ashamed of him. He will, l am
sure, give us conservative, honest ad
ministration, fair to all parties.
Mr. Edgerly, Democratic candidate
of New Hampshire, like Robert L. Pat
tison, Democratic candidate of Penn
sylvania has record clear of all stain.
A vote for either of them will be vote
for honest administration Thousands
of Independents will vote for Robert
E. Pattison, because he has been tried
in the Republican city of Philadelphia,
and has shown himself to be an honest
and Efficient man.

Boss 0olporteurs Among Catholics.

Delaney, although compelled to go
to the rear after the exposure of his op-
erations in The Times, Is not idle.
He has been reduced from wholesale
to retail auctioneer, and he is now
working a number of Catholic colpor-
teurs or pretended book agents in
N Northumberland, Montour, Columbia,
Lackawanna, Luzerne, Schuylkill and
Carbon. Among them is an old Demo
cratic policeman from Philadelphia,
who has been doing Montour. They
pretend to sell Catholic books and thus
visit Catholic families, and they invari-
ably tell the fabricated Pattison speech
about the Macks and the O's wherever
they 60. That is really what they are
employed for, and Delaney has them
now, under Boss pay, in all the Catho-
lie settlements of this region.

MANNED SOLDIERS.

"He came back to us manned sol
dier; his brother and many Others of
his comrades sleep "where glory guards
with solemn round, the bivouc of the
dead and to all we owe more of honor
than the living can ever bestow."
The above is copy of circular
that the stalwarts are posting all over
the state. With them we say all honor
to the soldiers, one legged or two leg
ged, who served his country faithfully.
But it strikes us the soldier business as
political dodge is played out. 1t does
not seem to work both ways. McClel-
Ian was brave soldier, but he was not
elected President Gen. Ent was q
brave soldier, but he was defeated for
a state office. Gen. Hancock was
brave soldier but he was defeated for
the Presidency. The Independent
ticket presents two one legged soldiers
and the stalwarts are denouncing them,
and yet they ask for support for Bea-
yer because he lost a leg in the war.
Let US apply the soldier matter at home
and see how inconsistent and false are
the pretenses of this Cameron party.
Capt. H. J. Conner, brave soldier,
was candidate for nomination for the
Legislature before the county Republi-
can convention he was defeated be-
cause he was not in sympathy with the
bosses. Geo. w. Mears, who served
faithfully and "came back to us a
manned soldier with an armless sleeve,
was a candidate at the same time for
jury commissioner, but he too, was set
aside, because he did not suit the ma
chine leaders. John Graham, another
brave soldier, lost leg in the war, but
no one ever heard the present incum.
bent of the post Office proposing to give
up his place so that a MANNED soldier
could be appointed. This soldier cry
is sham and pretense on the part of
the stalwarts to catch the votes of those
who are weak enough to be caught by
such chaff. They have turned it into a
farce, and shown their own inconsis-
tency, and if it recoils now upon their
own heads it is the fault of no one else.
The men who are crying the loudest
for Beaver, the MANNED soldier, are
those who never smelled gunpowder in
the late rebellion.
Don Cameron, we believe, hired a
substitute, and yet the Republican
party have given him seat in the
highest legislative body in the land.
General Beaver did not have any more
legs then than he has now. But Beaver
could not get an Office until he sold out
to Cameron at Chicago, violated his in
structions, voted for Grant, and thus
secured the promise of nomination for
governor. That is all there is of the
one leg business so far as Stalwarts are
concer ned.

THE TICKETS.

The Democratic tickets have been
printed and placed in the hands of the
committeeman of the several districts,
or left at the polling places. Those
who do not get tickets before Tuesday
should not stay away from the polls on
that account They can get them of
the committeeman when they go to
vote.
Take no ticket from anyone unless
you know it is all right. Cut out the
ticket at the top of the first column Of
the second page of this paper and carry
it with you, and compare your ticket
with 1t. See that every name is on,
and properly spelled. There will be
all sorts of bogus tickets in circulation,
and unless we keep our eyes open the
enemy will deceive us.

The office holders at Washington are
assessed in order to meet the demands
of Malone in Virginia. He threatens
the Administration with detection if
his demands are refused. The coalition
with Malone is SO well carried out that
Dexendorf, the Republican candidate
for congress in the Norfolk district,
complained that the pnblic patronage
had been used against him. The Admin
istration very frankly told bim shat
the bargain with Malone must be kept
But il looks evident that the coalition
will be beaten even with Jay Hubbels
assessments. This is a year for reform
in every section.

ANOTHER SCHEME FRUSTRATED.
MAHLoN HAsILIN NOT A CANDIDATE.

Greenback circulars have been sent
out through the county, containing a
ticket with the names of the candidates
of that party. Among them is the name
of Mahlon Hamlin, as candidate for
representative. Mr.. Hamlin authorizes
us to say that his name was placed
thereon without his consent, and that
he is not greenbacker. and never has
been, and is not now candidate for
the Office on that ticket. He wants ii
understood that he is a Democrat, and
always has been, and will not permit
the use of his name in any way that is
intended to injure the Democratic party.
Examine your tickets and see that the
names of William Bryson and 7. j.
Vanderslice are on them.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1882-11-03

Vote for II. J. Vanderslice and
William Bryson for Representatives.
They are the only regular democrats in
the field, and the only candidates for
that office who are working earnestly
for the success of the state ticket. Do
not be deceived by any side issues.
While the candidates on other tickets
may be sincere, their candidacy only
tends to weaken the democratic vote,
and they should therefore, not be en-
couraged. Vote the whole ticket from
Governor to Jury Commissioner.

1t is claimed by Beavers friends
that he is an honest man, and there
fore should be elected governor. The
same claim was made for Hoyt, aud
yet what miserable fist he has made
of it--whyi Because he was in the
hands of the bosses, the mere tool of
Kemble, Quay and Cameron. 1t is
admitted now; before his election it
was denied. Beaver is in the same
hands and will be put to the same ras-
cally uses, Vote against him and you
strike the whole gang.

Somebody with malicious intent has

Somebody with malicious intent has
put in circulation rumors to the eff
feet that some of the best Dem
ocrats in the county are working in the
interest of Beaver. 1t is no wonder
that these gentlemen became indig-
nant when such reports came to their
ears. The only object could have
been to induce others to do likewise,
and to cause disaffection in our ranks.
The number of Democrats who will
vote for Beaver in Columbia county
will not require all the fingers of one
hand to count them.
