The Addr sss I,sued by the National kHscu-
tive COMMITTEE.
The following address was issued in New
York on Saturday:
NATIONAL COMMITTEE REPUpLIcANs
AND INDEPENDENTS.
Headquarters, No. IS NASSAU ST,
10 the Country This nation won indie
peudeuce under Washington and freedom
under Lincoln I; it Is now to stand for
honesty, without which liberty cannot
last The Republican party asks us 20
put James G. Blaine in the place of Wash.
iupton aud Lincoln. Republicans who in
1864 fought for liberty under war Dem-
ocrat. General Grant, and by the help of
war Democrats re elected Lincoln presi-
dent, unite in 1884 with honest Democrats
20 elect an honest man to Lincoln's place.
We do not mean to leave tho Republican
party, but TO save its honor. The Repub.
licau managers do not represent the prin
ciples we honor as Republicans. Their
campaign has been one OF SANDER, Of
denial, of false pretense.
We ask voters not to let themselves be
deceived. Public honesty Is the crying
need of this land. To reduce taxes, to
extend business, TO make work steady, to
| Uphold wages, to oppose monopolies, to
obtain commercial marine and navy, to
| maintain our honor among other nations,
we need only the stalwart honesty and
simple common sense which Grover Cieve.
land will bring to tho beadship of the
nation. We look to the Republicans OF
New York state to roll up such a majority
| for her reform governor as will oTerwhe!n
| all IDEALS" and show that Blaine Is de
feated by Republican votes.
| Connecticut, We believe, will uphold
| honesty.
The men of Massachusetts give hop,
that her true Republieanism, indignant al
the betrayal of truth by party leaders, will
pronounce for Cleveland.
| New Jersey can bs lost only through
bribery, corruption and intimidation by
| monopclist employers, against which
every honest man should stand firm.
Indiana cannot be carried for Blaine
excepting by repeating Dorsey's shame
less methods and by the reckless lies o
Dudley's government employees.
There is hope of electoral votes from
other states of the great west. The onl
danger on Tuesday next is from the cor
spiracy OF millionaire monopolists, who d
not stop at buying states in the interest G
their gigantic jobs.
The ballot is sacred trust. Citizens
use it for the good of the whole people
Veterans who fought for freedom, ,vot
now for honesty. The man who sells hi
ballot for pay or for promises, or shirk
his vote, betrays his country. Let eao
citizen be o vigilance committee in bebal
of liberty. II voters are bought, challeng
them at the polls. Sec to 1t that sur
punishT snt follows bribery and corruptio
in high places or at the polls. The caus
of honesty will be safe il each citizen wi
do his duty.
BY order of the Executive Committee {

IN county so strongly Republican as

IN a county so strongly Republican as
Lancaster, that party has great adyan-
tage in getting out its vote because Of
the many men who are looking out for
Offices for themselves in the future and
who expect TO forward their claims to it
by showing good results for their party
in their district. Fortunately for the
Democratic party it generally has in
every district representatives who
are 50 unseltishly inter -sted in their
party's success as to devote themselves
zealously to the work Of getting out the
party vote. We must depend almost
entirely upon such disinterested zeal in
this election to secure a poll OF the full
Democratic vote. We have no money
and no hirelings to do the work. Per
haps there are not many lukewarm
Democrats TO be persuaded to vote, but
there are always some who need to be
looked after. We expect our friends to
see to it, that every Democratic vote is
polled. The Republicans are boasting
that they will have great majority in
the county and that there will be nc
stay at home vote on their side. Their
politicians will do their best to see tha,
all their votes are out, and they will no,
be particular to be sure that all the votel
they offer are legal ones. Watch then
and see that they play fair.

iS HONOR OF raE REPATRIATION
Interesting Services at ST. stephens Lu
theran yhnrcn on Sunday.


st st. Stephens Lutheran church,
corner OF Duke aud Church streets, Rev.
Z. Meister, pastor, interesting services
were held in commem oration of tho day
on which DR.. Martin Luther nailed the
ninety.hye theses on the doors OF the cas-
tie church at w. Weinberg, October 81,
1917. The church was elaborately and
tastefully decorated with flowers and
evergreens. Ga the altar in front of the
pulpit was placed crown, cross and harp,
all of flowers, aud on each side of the
pulpit was placed large portrait of Martin
Luther and MelGncthou.
The morning service was attended by
large audience. Rev Meister took for his
| text Hebrews Kill Remember them
which have the rule over you, who have
spoken unto you the word of God whose
faith follow, considering the end of their
conversation" speaking Of the blessings
of the reformation. Ia conclusion he
said: "Lst US as Lutherans realize both
our relations and obligations to the reioI-
nation. Let US prove ourselves, not only
| the lineal but SO the ecclesiastical de-
scendants of the Reformers, and worthy
| of being the custodiaus of the richest
| church inheritance ever transmitted to any
people. Prodting by her experience and
observation, learning lessons of wisdom
from her past trials aud guided
by enlightened reason and the
truths set forth in her great confession
as drawn from tho scriptures, may the
Lutheran church and her members reserve
a new baptism of the holy spirit, and &c
forward in the faith and spirit of Luther
aud the Ref1rmsrs in meeting heI obliga
tions and accomplishing her great mission
in the new Fatherland.
In the evening the Officers, teachers aud
pupils of the Sabbath school gathered in
the main audience room, where they in
dulged In singing and other services appro
pirate to the oocasio1. The anthems by
the choir during the dag were excellent
especially Luther's majestic choral: "A
mighty fortress is our God, aud it was
truly delightful to listen to the sweet songs
of praise of tho children of the Sabbath
school in the evening, aud behold the Dy
and gIadness which beamed from the
countenauoes of those little lambs of the
Saviour's flock. For them II was day
that will nos soon be forgotten.

ELsEwHERE 1t will be seen that
the Democratic fight in the
Twentieth congressional district has
been settled by the withdrawal of J.
K. p. Hall from the contest, leav
ing Curtin in full possession OF the
Democratic field. Though Hall was
supported by Union, Clinton, Elk and
Mifflin counties, he felt that with two
candidates In the field this Democratic
district would be jeopardized. He ha:
therefore manfully and gracefully step
ped down In favor Of Congressman Cur
tin, whose representation Of the distric
has done much credit to himself and hi
party in the state. In 1882 Curtin
plurality was SGT, so with unite,
party now at his back his success will
be beyond peradventure.

THE signs from every part of the
country are all strongly indicative of a
Democratic victory. In New York it Is
practically conceded by Republicans
that they cannot win, and the Democracy
have been doing powerful work In New
jersey within the last few days in
strengthening the Democratic lines to
make assurance of victory doubly sure +.
Indiana under Hendricks powerful lead
ership, will answer to the Democratic
roll Tomorrow, and California ana
Nevada bid fair to follow suit. Even In
Michigan. Illinois and Massachusetts, the
Democratic hopes are very strong, while
Mr.. Blaine's rabid sectional speeches
have made the Southern states more
solid than ever. All we'll Informed ob
servers recognize u Cleveland grand
swell which must inevitably carry the

The Unruly Marshals.

The sheriff OF Hamilton county, Ohio,
In which Is Cincinnati, has asked Gov.
Hoady for aid to resist renewal of the
attempt of the United States marshals
to control the election. The governor
has responded that he will give him all
the aid in his power, directing
him thai the law puts the
preservation of the peace in his hands
and that of the mayor of the city, and
declaring that the United States mar
shal has no excuse for interference save
at a congressional election so that 1t i,
hardly likely that the vote OF Hamil
ton county will be in any way
dictated to morrow as it was be
fore by the pistol armed ruffians of
the United States marshal. Nor is it
probable that these officers will have the
power which they exercised at Cincin-
natl at the late election, In any OF the
great cities of the country tomorrow,
although the election viii, be for con-
gressmen as well as president outside
of Ohio. 1t is not believed
that the marshals have authority
to interfere in an election, under
pIetense of preserving the peace, since
that duty is conflded by the law to
the civil authorities of the state. 1t will
never do to create such a conflict of
authority as vas witnessed atCincinnati,
and the United States law cannot con
template anything of the kind.
The marshals must act with
the other conseryatorS of the peace,
and not against them. II will no: do to
have tho United States marshals ap-
pointing force to act independently of
the civil powers of the state, and a par.
tisan force at that. Nothing but
anarchy can result from such an utter
misreading of the law, and the Demo-
cratic governors OF the states, at least,
will see to it to morrow, that no such
disparagement of the authority of the
states civil ctlicers is witnessed, such as
was lately shown at Cincinnati. The
proceedings there have put them on
their guard.

Away Win "Psil Committees"
II another column is published the
6orfespondence Of the Democratic AND
Republican county chairmen relative to
the abolition OF "poll committees" II
has long been an open secret that the
NV against bribery at elections has been
lseqrently violated in this city by plsc-
inG doubtful voters on the party "poll
I soommittees. presumably as paid party
workers. but really as bribed party
voters. The offer of the Democratic
chairman to his Republican confrere has
aroused great deal of virtuous surprise
that will deceive no one. The latter has
declined to enter into the combination
10 punish these plain violations OF The
election law. but that will in no way
interfere with the Democratic determi-
nation to hunt down the frauds
wherever their heads are shown.
It will be seen that Chairman Hensel
has offered rewards aggregating $500 for
the arrest of any one convicted Of violat.
ing the statutes Of the commonwealth
against bribery and corruption at elec
tions. One hundred and fifty dollars
will be paid for the first conviction
flfty dollars for the next two convictions
and twenty-five dollars for the next
two convictions. The laws, the viola
tion Of which Is desired to be prevented
accompany the offers Of reward. The
Democracy are in deep earnest in thi:
matter, and they propose to diligently
Investigate every case, that bears the
slightest mark of fraud. 1t is
unfortunate that they are denied
Republican co operation in the effort to
purify city politics, but they are amply
prepared to fight the battle of reform
single handed and alone. Any one who
In the slightest manner violates the
election statutes relative to bribery and
corruption at elections, does 80 at hi:
own peril. The poll committee" ha:
too long been stencil in municipal
politics and the time is now ripe for it
total abolition.

DEAR SIR: While l regret that you did

the so-called spoil committee system.
am glad that you do not differ from me
as to "the evils resulting from the corrup
tiOu of voters"

to the astonishmsnt which was excited in
your mind by my statement OF a condition
of things that has long been apparent to
and freely admitted by the leading politi.
clans of all parties in this city. am glad
that the fund of three or four thousand
dollars levied by your committee upon the
candidates for county officers is placed in
your hands -and presumably will be used
"pursly for legitimate expenses" 1t is a
hopeful sign of the times that in county

caster the candidates Of that party on the
county ticket have to spend such large
sum as this for printing and travelling
expenses, dissemination of information to

their election.
Be this as it may, know that you will
be glad to hear rthat-notwithstandi your
Inability to join with us-our single efforts
will be directed to prevent, suppress or
punish that I" use of money at elections
which you SO earnestly " "deprecase and
condemn"
May ask you to aid in circulating the
accompanying offer of rewards which, as
you will readily see, is no respecter of per.
sons or parties, and which will embrace
the 'hundreds of Democratic workers -
whom you lear and distrust, as well as
offenders who may not happen to belong to
our party. Yours truly,
