DOING DEMOCRATIC WORK.

A FEW days ago gentleman met
Chairman Hensel, of the Democratic
State Committee, and in the course
of conversation remarked that the
Democrats were not making as ag-
gressive fight in this campaign as
had been expected. NO." smilingly
remarked Mr.. Hensel, Sin one sense
we are not, and yet We have a lot OF
very able speakers on the stump,
who are doing yeoman service for
the Democracy" The gentlemen
expressed surprise, when Mr.. Hem
sci added: Where could we get a
lot of more abler or more effective
campaigners than Messrs. Stewart,
Merrick, Marshall, Koontz, Wolfe,
McMichael and Carson? They are
doing more for Pattison and the
rest of the ticket than any number
of Democrats could. They can reach
Republicans and take votes from
Beaver; Democratic speakers could
reach only those who are right; Re
publicans are fighting the Demo
cratic battle this year, and we need
only look after the details of the
campaign"

OF course We are sorry to lose
Ohio. hut the loss Was not totally
unexpected. The Democrats and
the liquor men were united in favor
of free whisky and against the law
compeiling observance of the Sab
bath. while the Republicans were
divided. the distinctive temperance
men acting as ASSISTANT Democrats,
by voting for a separate temperance
ticket, instead of standing bv the
party that was fighting their battle.
The loss of eight Republican MEM
bers of Congress is the sOrest blow,
as thereby the Republican majority
in Congress is endangered and the
tariff interests of the whole country
pat in jeopardy.
The result on Pennsylvania Re
publicans il not disheartening. rs
the Democrats hoped it would be
but has had Just the contrary effect
The people see the reSultof divisions
in the party, which are kept alive by
few selfish leaders they know tina,
there are no differences upon any
question of public policy, that the
quarrel in the Republican family is
founded only on the disappointed
ambition of few men, and they
have determined to let the leaders
fightitoutif they please, but that the
State shall not be lost as Ohio was
if they can help it, and every day
we hear of persons supposed to be
wrong, who are falling into line for
Beaver aad the whole ticket.
The instincts Of the Republican
masses are right; with Ohio as a
warning, they are coming, and they
will come, and all the sophistry OF
the demagogues, who are laboring 10
lead them astray, will not induce
them to further lend their aid to
throw this State into the hands OF
the Democrats. Ohio was an eye
opener.

night between ! and s o'clock two
masked men rushed into the house
of George Brill, three miles north of
Elizabethtown, Chester county, when
the door was opened by Mrs. Brill
10 ascertain the cause of the dogs
barking. The men caught Mr.. and
Mrs. Brill by the throat, bound them
securely and under threats ofinstant
death compelled them to divulge the
whereabouts oftheir money. While
one of the rufiians stood guard over
Mr.. and Mrs. Brill and their twelve
year-old daughter the other searched
the house, securing only small sum
of money, Il watch and some cloth
ing. Before leaving they poured
some vinegar into a loaded gun and
threatened the inmates with instant
death if they should attempt to leave
the house before daylight, stating
that parties were outside watching
and would harm them if they ut
tempted to give an alarm.

THr Democratic stool-pigeons
who are endeavoring to destroy the
Republican organization in this
county by advocating the lndepend-
ent heresy, are at the same time
running a muck against the HERALD,
their pet phrase being that dirty,
living sheet" When these fellows
were begging Office at the hands OF
the Republicans Of this County, they
were very solicitous TO have the sup
port of the HERALD, and but few, if
any of them, would have succeeded

Whether a candidate for Congress
be Stalwart or an Independent, if
a pronounced Republican, it does
not matter. He may prefer Stewart
to Beaver, or contrariwlse, and Re-
publicans who use their common
sense will not make either preference
an issue at the polls. Republi-
cans are sent to Congress to maintain
the policy of the party intact-not
to adjudicate between contending
divisions in their own party. There
is something so childish and absurd
in this effort to carry local quarrels
into national matters that we have
scant patience to discuss it at all. 1t Is
about as if a voter should call upon
a candidate for Congress and ask
"Do you think well of Jones? |
dislike Jones, and | will not vote for
anybody who will not take my view
of Jones" About three-quarters OF
an Indifferent man might go to a
candidate for Congress and threaten
him with the loss of a vote on his
refusal to adopt the demandant's
personal quarrels. No full-grown
man would do anything so puerile,
especially when like or dislike OF
Jones was not an issue in Congress.
Republicans will act wisely if they
confine local quarrels to Pennsylva-
MIA and act as one upon national
questions.-North american.
