Tho Examiner of last evening said
editorially:
All this sounds very nice. but after all
- II nothing but . blind to hide the
Democratic scheme Of using money 70,

poffos that up 10 Friday night last The
Dsm0cr0fs of this city had raised $700 and
oxpected to increase the sum to 81 900
for the purpose OF eorrupting voters at The
p0fls 70 morrop by bribing them to vote
part Of the Democratic ticket.
The Nep Era of the same date in its
editorial columns said
From the fact that we have positive
knowledge that 800 had been collected
b. the Democrats up to Friday evening
eod placed In the hands of a prominent
Democrat for use erc1usieely in this city
there will be an excellent opportunity Of
getting goodly number of impecuniors
Cleveland men in Castle Burkholder, pro
vided our enthusiastic young reformer
don't flicker out of paying the promised
reward, as he did with the Bradford de
tective two years ago. "Reform is neces
sAry," and although it comes little late
from that quarter, it is ''better late than
never"
The allegations of our contemporaries
are utterly false. The statement that
500 had been raised in this city by the
Democrats to corrupt voters or for any
other purpose is as malicious as it is
mendscious. No such sum has been
raised by the party here from all sources
Tor all purposes. Not dollar has been
collected or will be paid for any expense
to day except the hire of few carriages
and the printing of the tickets. The
vicious statements of the Nep Era and
Eraminerwere fabricated By these shame
less organs of aebased party to en-
courage its bribers, ballot box suffers
and return thinkers to continue their foul
practices.
The NeiD Erd's intimation that Mr..
Hensel ever "nickered out" of any obli-
CATION to pay similar reward is as false
and as wilfully untrue as the rest of its
article. A blackmailing detective IT
Mexican county, and fellow conspira-
tor. tried to set up a Job on the Demo
cratic state committeeman to punish
any polluter Of the ballot but simply to
get reward-and Chairman Hensei
allowed the question of his responsibility
TO be submitted to judicial proceeding.
The result was that the blackmailers
were exposed, and had the privilege OF
paying the costs of their suit.

THE canvass in Pennsylvania has been
q quiet one, and the policy which has
made such a canvass agreeable to the
Democracy has been wise. The state
has generally polled Republican
majority, and IA regarded as a Republican
state. The approved policy for the
minority in Republican districts is to
avoid excitement and trust to quiet
work and the unin6amed judgment of
the voters for such accessons as they
need. There are abundant reasons an
pealing to the good sense OF the Repub-
licans of Pennsylvania wherefore they
should not vote for Blaine. Those
reasons have been fully laid before them
and have been left to do their quiet
work. If they have had the influence
due to their weight Pennsylvania will
give Democratic verdict to day and
all the more probably because Republi
can party spirit has not been blown into
an unreasoning flame by an exciting
campaign of noise and buster.

IT is amusing TO note the hifalutiu air of

of the demagogue Butler has no argument
to appeal to the oonsciences of free
