Serious Charges Against Democrat
lc Assessors.

&c ASSGSSOT9s
GREESsBURG, Pa, September 25.-The
Republican leaders here are in high state
OF excitement over the discovery thst hun
dreds Of Republican voters in the county
have not been assessed, thereby disfranchis-
ing them at the coming election.
Chairman Brown, who is ever on the al
lert to secure the success OF the Republican
ticket, only made this discovery late last
evening, when he found that every Demo-
crat was both registered and assessed, while
the Republicans were only registered and
not assessed, and as quite number of the
latter have not paid tax within two years.
they will lose their votes.
Ii is charged that this dereliction was by
design, as the disfranchised voters all belong
to the Republican party. Chairman Brown
is greatly excited over this act and IS deter
mined that the assessor who are charged
with having violated their oaths at the in
stance Of the Democratic ring shall be pun
ished to the fullest extent Of the law and
without fear or favor TO the Leaders. Others
say that the Democratic ring here has rid
den rough shod over them long enough and
from now on they will show them no mer-
cy. Information will be made in very
short time. when some very interesting de
yelopments viii be brought out.
Many of the honest Democrats who have
been made familiar with the fscts denounce
the act in the most vigorous terms, and
say that if such is the case they will vote
the Republican ticket. Not for years ha:
there been so much excitement over Poiiii'
cal trick as this one, which has caused the
best portion OF the Democratic party 10 de
nounce it and insist upon the assessors be
ing arrested, which viii be done within the
next few days.

TIE Judicial conference for this district
has adjourned until the fourteenth day OF
next month, and if nomination Is made
within that week, there will be but two
weeks left for the canvass. 1t viii not
do to await the result OF this
nomination before commencing active
work. It would be better to have full
and complete ticket in the first to start
with. but as that cannot be, the interests
Of State and County tickets, and the
vital issues Of the campaign must not be
neglected while awaiting the result OF the
judicial conference. The work Of orga-
nization should be commenced at once,
and a vigorous canvass entered upon.
Our admirable State ticket is entitled to
every Republican vote in the county, as
Is also the very excellent County ticket
nominated at the late primary election
No special advocacy Of any Of our eandi-
dates is needed. They are Republicans
without spot OF blemish, honest, capable
/ and deserving, and are worthy Of snd
entitled 10 the support Of every man who
has the interests Of our party at heart.
There il no dissatisfaction existing, hHr-
monv prevails throughout our ranks, and
all that is required is preparation to poll
a full vote. Locking TO the result Of this
election upon the campaign Of next year,
when every great industrial interest Of
Pennsylrania will be at stake. We urge
mon the Republicans Of Somerset county
the necessity Of present activity and vigl-
lance. The Democratic organization in
this State is perfect, and earnestly at
work. Flushed with its success OF last
year. and in possession Of the power then
won. the Democratic officials are insolenti
aggressive and full Of brag, and with the
audacity of the traditional beggar on
horseback " they viii ride the Common
wealth to the devil, if they are permitted
to gain further power. The self-respect
and manhood Of the sturdy Republican
should be arsused, and alert to resent the
insulting and brutal implications in the
Democratic platform, thai he is by train

Of investigating alleged charges against

That this Is g mere political move On the
part Of the Governor none can doubt, and
that it is done in accordance with well
concerted scheme, to Erst charge in the
Democratic platform that corruption does
exist in these departments, and then. as
Il in compliance With public sentiment
thus created, convene the Senate for an
investigation and thereby make political
capital, is, We think, very probable.

contrary We demand that no guilty man
shall escape and We trust that If probable
cause be shown, the guilty person or per,

But that politics is at the bottom Of
this movement We have not the slightest
doubt; else why this hot haste on the
part Of the Governor2 From the 18th Of

THK Democracy Of Ohio are evidently
worried. Their latest scheme Is TO have
that great free trade apostle. Roger Q.
Mills, of Texas, stump the State for
Campbell. Inasmuch as the Democrats
have claimed to be sure of victory in Ohio
this fall, they are apparently going to
much unnecessary pains. As usual, their
words and their actions are contradictory.
One has become accustomed, though, to
expect nothing else from them. There
nay be s little fun before Mills gets
GhrOugh with hiE Ohio speeches. He
doesn't love Campbell very much for
some reason, and il is quite likely tnat
the impulsiFe Texan viii forget himself,
and in whose interests he is stumping the
State, and let loose some Of his fiery elO-
quence against Campbell. instead of for
him. Won't there be fun, though, in
Ohio, if such thing does occur.
