Rumors are in the air that the Democrats
intend to repeat in this district the tactics
which they employed in the State election in
1880. 1t will be remembered that in that
year day or two before election the towns
in certain sections Of the State were blooded
with money obtained from the Democratic
national committee. Some of the symptoms
which preceded that performance are OBJ
servable in this district. especially In York
county. There is no doubt that within a
short time Democratic committee men in,
various towns In the district have been
asked for an estimate of the money they
could use proitably. OF course this inquiry
would not have been made unless it were the
intention to supply the Doodle. German
disappearance from Washington and the ig-
norance which prevails there of his where
abouts Is another piece Of evidence which
points in the same direction. 1t is usual, we
know. to raise the cry of doodle" just be-
fore election, and frequently there is little
foundation for 1t, but there are in this case
some very strong circumstances to raise the
suspicion that the Democrats are going to
try and defeat Speaker Reed by the free use
of money.

newspaper, finding all the Jersey City

adopted the following
Whereas, The people of Hudson county have
been deprived of the right of choosing their law
full representatives at the ballot box by usurpa-
tons and fraud of the most fragrant character
at the hands Of men who hold the offices thus
obtained to the detriment of an outraged
people; and
in the name of the Democratic party by what
they term a County Committee organized and
made perpetual by fraud against the honest
Democratic voter; and
Whereas, The great masses of the Democratic
party of this county are opposed to these
fraudulent pretenders and desire to place their
seal of condemnation on the acts of the rascals
who perpetrated them; therefore be it
Resolved, That the new Democratic County
of Hudson county, organized for the
purpose of securing honest elections for the
people of this county, hereby disclaim any con-
nection or utilization. partisan or otherwise,
with the purporting to represent the
Democracy Of Hudson county, and call on all
reputable Democrats to aid and second our
efforts to crush out the dishonest and unlawful
cabal now controlling our ballot boxes and
usurping our offices.
Reso lived, That it is with horror and detesta-
ton we observe that men claiming to O respecta-
biiity in our community, have consorted with
this band of political thugs, and by that means
enable them to stife the expression of public
opinion at the ballot box and to secure to Them
selves the offices.
Resolved, That the recent election held in this
county admonishes us that to secure the rights
OF the elector anu nave pure elections, the 5iii-
zens must come together and laying aside politi-
cal differences, in municipal elections, join in
driving back the rascals who have made it pos
sible to pack the ballot boxes in a small county
with ten thousand fraudulent votes, thereby
taking from them all expression of a choice of
their public servants, and placing in the hands
of political robbers their inalienable right of
suffrage.
Resolved, That this committee invite the CO.

stuffing shall be impossible, and thereby de-

whitewashing Freeholders-A Dis
grace to the County.
The irresistible Inference from the
pusilaniimous course of the Free
holders committee in dealing with
the Snake Hill scandals is that they
are afraid Of some still blacker story
being revealed by a deeper probing of
the affair. 1t looks as if the accused
the convicted people-had threatened
that If severe justice were melted
out to them they would retaliate by
"giving the whole snap away"
But, indeed, the action of the COM
mittee .'gives the whole snap away
badly. If Spears was innocent of the
charge of immortality made against
him, he wa IN the whole justified in
Using strong language regarding his
Ii he vas guilty thir-
ty days worth, in using such
language, then he must have
deserved the accusations Mrs.
Hogan made against him, in other
words he must have practiced i'm
moral conduct in the county institu-
tions. In that case. he not only
ought to be discharged, but further,
the Freeholders should present the
facts to the Grand Jury aud ask his
indictment as a warning to other pub
lie employees to behave themselves.
We are convinced that the Investi-
eating Committee has been hiding
the truth, not exposing it, covering
up guilty men and women, not pun
ishing them. There is a well defined
public impression that the Snake Hill
settlement is affected with moral
leprosy, and the impression has been
deepened by this whitewashing inves-
tigation.
The Grand Jury ought to take the
matter up. There is ground enough,
we believe, for the judges to order an
inquiry. This is not a matter of ru-
nor. There is enough perjured testi-
mony on the records of the Investi-
eating Committee to form the basis Of
a radical examination of the whole
matter.
THINGS are looking very bad for

alarm being sounded. the family, con-
sisting of the mother and her three
children, beat a hasty retreat from the

the greatest gratitude toward
the agent of their deliverance.

Upon the breaking out of the flames
from a defective iiue a pet bird had

flight. The escape was a narrow one,
and the mother was compelled to rush

AN INDIAN MARRIAGE.
The Bride, a Mere Schoolgirl, Very
Unwilling.

Mrs. r. s.. Rust's line of work in
connection with the Woman's Home
Missionary Society leads her among
the Indians, and her reports con
corning the progress of missionary
labor in that field are full of
incidents. The past summer she
went into Kansas and then into In
dian Territory, one point of vista
tion being about thirty-five miles
from Cedarviile, Kan. when we
reached the Indian agency, she said,
in relating her experience on that
journey, I'VE were welcomed by the
teachers and the Rev. i. G. Schwartz,
superintendent of the missions in the
Territory. While We were talking a sig
nificant incident occurred. The tall fig
ure of a full-blooded Indian entered
the schoolroom and was introduced
as Shellapasha. He had oil for his
daughter Clara, who attended the
school and was a general favorite with
teachers and pupils. Shellapasha an
nounced that he intended to take her
home with him and dispose of her in
marriage. The child wept bitterly,
teachers and friends demonstrated,
every argument was used to dissuade
him from his purpose, but the Indian
only yielded SO far as to say, i will
bring her back tomorrow if | do not
marry her We visited the Indian
amp in the afternoon and found
Clara Shellapashadressed in a blanket.
She fled as WI approached to hide her
anguish, and we were informed that
her father hadsold her for eight ponies
and the marriage was to be con-
summated the next day. The young
Indian who purchased her for his wife
was Whanowgin. He had been at the
school in Lawrence, could speak Eng
lish tolerably well and seemed quite
intelligent, but going back to the res
ervatiOn, as do most of the full bloods
when they + educated at a distance
from their homes, returned to the
blanket and the heather habits of his
people. He already had two wives.
THE prospective bridegroom, in
preparing for his marriage. after the
ponies were given over to the BRIDES
father, retired from the companionship
of his people and remained alone till
near the hour for the ceremony.
Then he came back to the camp of his
friends and to his tent, where he re-
clined upon a rich blanket. A plate
