Let every Voter REMEMBER That every vote cast for Asa Packer is a vote cast for Disloyalty Repudiation and Ruin. I At every Taxpayer ltujiujinnn That every vote cast for Asa Packer is a vote cast for an increased public debt and nc-reased taxes. Let every Soldier REMEMBER That every vote cast for Asa Packer i.< a vote cast for the man who sympathized with and entertained rebels in the day of our country's trial and who ran off to Europe in a cowardly manner to avoid the dangers and responsibilities of an American citizen, when every man's aid and sympathy were needed to save the Union. Let every Honest man REMEMBER That Asa Packer ran away from Maueh Chunk to escape the payment of his lioaest taxes and that his dishonesty in this partic ular enabled him to escape from $32,0X1 of taxes by ])aviug $8,05 and that the ba'ance of the $32,000 was laid upon the taxpayers of the State. Let every one REMEMBER That Pennsylvania needs a loyal and an hon est man for Governor, and that that man is John W. Geary. Let every one REMEMBER That Cyrus L. Pershing the copperhead candidate for Supreme Judge was a rebel sympathizer during the war and is now a bitter partisan, is only a third rate lawyer and utterly unGt for the office of Supreme Judge. REMEMBER That Democratic rule brought a debt of over $40,000,000 on the State and that a Republican administration has been paying it off at the rate of TWO .MILLIONS a year. PACKER S GOSPEL The great apostle of modern Democracy, James Buchanan, proclaimed that his party favored free-trade because it would reduce the wages of the laboring uian ? He further declared that such a redaction of the tariff as would compel the laboring uian to work forT'SN CENTS A DA', would cover the eoun.ry with benefits and blessings. That was not the poor man's hut the rich ntaD's gospel. It would suit A-a Packer first rate. He can soon mike iris tweti y mil lions a hundred millions if lie can git such laws passed as will compel his cmjri yees to work for ten cents a day. What cares he how the poor naa and his family live? What does it mater to him ? His business is to make uioney, drink wine, live on the fat of the land and hob nob with rebels like Jeff. Davis and \ allandingham. For this purpose he aiu-i have money. If he can coin it out of the poor laboring man's sweat and suffering ho cares not. lie is the advo cate, for thin very purpose, of FREE TRADE. The whole Democratic party is! committed to Free Trade because its leaders are rich men and millionaires. Free Trade makes the rich richer and the poor, poorer. Laboring men if you want to work for TEN C ENTS a day that nten like PACKER may roll in wealth and luxury then vote the Democratic ticket. If you want to get good wages and lay up money enough to buy a home for yourself and little ones, then vote for Geary and protection to free American laborers of' whom you are one. OUTRAGEOUS TYRANNY. It is no uncommon thing to have every act of a Republican administration stigma tized as one of tyranny. High handed out rages on Democrats of the ultra rebel stamp have been common thiugs, to be seen in every copperhead paper for years. Anoth er high handed outrage we have been look ing for lately has not yet appeared, but this week s Gazette will doubtless contain it in banting capitals. No less a personage than the high and mighty money kiDg and rail road monopolist is the victim. A certain Satrap of Grant's, named Delauo of the In ternal Revenue Department is the offender. 1! is crime is no more nor less than ordering a revision of the income returns and a re-a< sessment of such as carpet bagged and es caped the former assessment. Now Asa be longs to this class, indeed it is principally composed of Democrats, and the outrageous character of the act is, that Asa, right in the midst of the campaign, will be obliged to give in on the $.>0,000 arrears of taxes, or leave lus priuceiy home and, neglecting import ant political business, go carpet bagging to Philadelphia and other places until Delano's asso.-surs give up the chase. Now Asa has sworn and ran and traveled and prevarica ted until lie thought he had fairly and final o eluded the assessors and it is ban! to have to repeat the thing so soon. It is an outrageous act of tyranny on the part of arant ,-atrup. Oh, poor, poor, Asa! • US , I ~ out 'ko thirty thousand at last. 1 oor fellow ! He has only made a mi.hon or two this year out of the coal strike. Alas! Alas! Even Asa, the great aristocrat, will at last have to come down with the cash. He didn't want to be hon est but I ncleSam compels him. What erucl tyanny! Where's Booth? DON T FORGET \ oter don't forget that the Republican party is the only one that ever reduced the State debt and taxes. They increased for forty years under Democratic rule. Do you want any better reason for voting the Re publican ticket ? MOB LAW IN PHILADELPHIA. For nearly a year past, Philadelphia has been enjoying Democratic rule, the first time in a number of years. Prior to the advent of this Democratic Mayor and police, Philadelphia had the enviable reputation of being the safest and most orderly city in the Union. Since the Democracy, by fraud, obtained the control of the city police, murders have ran up to an average of one a day and the murderers are seldom even arrested. This is surelv bad enough, but it was all eclipsed on Friday night last when these outrages culminated in deliberate , ly planned riots. The Keystone club, a Demo cratic organization deliberately attacked and undertook to destroy the headquarters of the Kepublican Invineibles, after the members of that organization had adjourn ed, closed their rooms and gone home. This occurred in the neighborhood of Fifth and Chestnut streets. On the same night on Market street an organized attack was made, on an Irish Republican meeting and the meeting was broken up. In a'l these riotous proceedings, the police made little or no effort to keep the peace, preserve order or protect the persons and property of the unoffending citizens. The Mayor and chief of police were not to be found, no arrests were made, and the city authorities refuse to make any effort to arrest the of fending parties. The riots were clearly pre arranged for partisan purposes. The reign of terror threatened by Bill McMullin is already begun. Such is copperhcadism. They are the promulgators of mob-law, riot, disorder and bloodshed. Who can vote the ticket of such a party ? Friends of law and order can you ? FREE-TRADE IN ENGLAND. TI.„ Ptuiwiaifc press lor years has held up as an argument in favor of free trade, the alleged prosperity of England though her policy was only partially free-trade. Eng land did prosper for long years while she found a market here for all her manufac tures under our Democ'ratis free-trade ad ministration. Since Republicanism came into power and adopted a protective policy, England has not been able to grow rich at ous expense, the profiits of American labor have been kept in America. England has felt the effect of it and to-day English labor ers are clamoring for a protective tariff. Free trade benefitted England while the Democtatic party in the United States held the reins of power and sold out the best in terests of American labor to British manu facturers. But free-trade tells a different story for England when she can no longer live at our expense; while we, delivered from British avarice have grown strong and rich in spite of all the immense losses of the war. Democracy in the face of such facts, is to day clamoring for a return to free-trade and slavery to British capitalists. Republi canism declares in favor of keeping ourselves free from business slavery to England and in favor of the American laborer keeping the profits of his own labor. All who approve of protection and desire prosperity will vote the whole Republican ticket. $56,908,187 90. Fifty-six millions, nine hundred and six ty-eight thousand, one hundred and eighty seven do liars and ninety cents of the public debt have been paid off in seven months of Republican rule. Such is the official state ment. The amount of each month since July Ist is as follows : Paid in March, April and May S2O 050 646 89 June 16 410 132 54 " July 7 435 744 29 " August 5 604 234 79 " September 7 467 429 39 Total $56 968 IS7 90 The public debt, like the State debt kept continually increasing while Democracy con , trolled the Cabinet. The moment Andy J .Johnson departed from the White House the work of retrenchment and reform in the Revenue department began and instead of an increase, each successive month has mark ed a decrease of the debt by millions. This is done too not by increased but with de creed taxes. Do the taxpayers waut any better evidence as to what party they should keep in power. Vote the copperhead ticket from top to bottom if you want more Debt and more Taxes. If you want taxes re ducrd and debts paid, vote the whole Re publican ticket Taxpayer which will you choose? A OTE for Geary the hero of two wars. HOW IS IT ? Copperheads assert that the Republicans are notoriously corrupt and have squandered millions of the public funds. Rut they are unable to deny that in spl ; e of these charges the Republicans have paid off an inmense amount of tUu public debt, both of this State and of the Nation. Neither do they pretend to deny that these debts continually increased under Democratic rule. Now if Democrats have always increased the debts and the taxes, while practising THEIR pe culiar economy, and Republicans have abolished taxes and paid off debts by THEIR peculiar extravagance, which ought the tax payers to prefer? The Democratic eoonomy that makes debts and taxes or the Repub lican extravagance that pays debts and abolishes taxes? The fact is we think modern Democrats have invented a new set of definitions. Economy in Democratic terms seems to mean keeping all they get of the public money and dividing it among themselves, leaving the debts to take care of themselves. Extravagance as they ap ply it to Republicans seems to mean the foolishness, as they deem it, of paying the pubiic debt with the public funds instead of appropriating it as the spoils of office, which, according to the Democratic motto, belong to the victors. llow is it? Vote the whole Republican ticket. A MILLION A YEAR. For forty long years of peace and plcnty Democratic rule increased the State debt at the average rate of over a million dollars per year with continually increasing taxes. Re publican rule in time of war with extraordi nary expenses has paid over a million each year of the State debt, beside all the extra ordinary expenses incident to the war. At the same time it has more than doubled the appropriations to our common schools and more than all has entirely abolished land taxes. Taxpayer whom will you support? Do you prefer taxes and Democracy or Re publicanism and freedom from debt and taxes? LOOK OUT FOR ROORBACHS. Be on the lookout for all sorts of false hoods on the eve of the election. It is the custom of our enemies. All sorts of un founded stories are made up purposely to deceive, and circulated after it is too late to contradict them through the newspapers. Let no one believe them. They have al ready circulated false charges against all our candidates and will not hesitate to circulate anything out of which they have the least hope of making political capital. Beware we say once more, and be not decieved. EVERT man that votes the Democratic ticket, votes for moie debt and more taxes. $75,000. COPPERHEAD KEIOII. The cops cry aloud to bo given the reins j of government that they may inaugurate a reign of reform. Let us see how it would work. We took occasion ourselves to re buke some things that were done last winter but they were not half as bad as the oops tried to do. One of the leading copper heads introduced a bill to increase the pay of members from SIOOO to SISOO, three fourths of the cops voted for the bill and would have passed it had it been in their power but the Republicans defeated it and thereby saved the State in that single item 875,000. Such is the economy to which taxpayers are invited to lend their aid. If copperheads attempt such things in a hope less minority, what would they do if they had a majority ? Voter, pause and think before you vote for a single copperhead candidate. HON EDWARD SCULL. The nomination of Mr. Scull is now made unanimous by the action of the Fulton Coun ty Committee. Mr. Scull's nomination gives full satisfaction, not only in tho Dis trict but throughout the state. All agree that he is just the man for the place, that he will be an ornament to the Senate and a credit to the District. Let him have every Republican vote in Bedford County and Hiram Findley will be nowhere. With Scull, Long and Longenocker in the next Legislature, the interests of our District will be well cared for. The work of retrench ment and reform will find in them warm and able supporters. GREENBACKS Voter have you a greenback in your pock et? Is it a one or a five or a ten dollar bill? It represents so much labor and it is a prom ise to pay by the government the sum rep resented on its face to you as the holder of that note. If you vote for Packer you vote for its repudiation, Democracy is to-day the advocate of repudiation, and Asa Packer is its representative in this state. If he is elected the influence of your own state will be cast in favor of robbing you of your bard earned wages. Can you vote such a ticket ? If you don't wish to be robbed of your earn ings, vote for Geary and the whole Repub lican ticket. IT is not denied that Asa Packer used corrupt means to get the Democratic Dom ination for Governor. He has large rail road interests and the man that will use cor rupt means to obtain a nomination will not hesitate to use corrupt means and abuse his official position, if elected Governor, to pass any railroad monopoly bill that would put money in his pocket. He is unlit to be trusted with such opportunities and should never be permitted to occupy the Guberna torial chair. Vote for Geary who has no railroad or miniDg monopolies to care for. PERSHING is the first man ever nomina ted for the Supreme bench as a reward for partisan service. Politics should be kept out of the Courts and Judges should be ap pointed or elected alone because of their Judicial ability. Democracy has set the bad example of seating partisan politicians where none but able and impartial judges should be found. Let the people vote against the partisan and condemn the politician by vo ting for Judge Williams, who has given the best evidence of his fitness for the high office for whiee be is nominated. QUERY. If the copperhead member of the Legis lature tried, though in a hopeless minority, to increase the pay of member $75,000 in the aggregate what would they have done if they had been in majority? Is that what Cops call economy. That is the kind of economy that rolled up a State debt of $40,- 000,000 and laid a heavy tax on every foot of land in the State. The people want no more of that. They will vote for Geary and the Republican ticket. NO GOUGING Major William Dibert our popular candi date for Sheriff, is the choice of the party by a fair vote. There was no gouging in his case. He is a clever man, a public spirited citizen and deserves to be elected. Give him every Republican vote and get your Democratic neighbor to vote for him too. Redford county wants au entire change of party administration for a few years. Taxpayers will find it to their interest with out regard to party. Tax Payers of Bedford County Would it not be to your advantage to have both parties represented in the Comnns sioner's office? Now is your opportunity. Vote for the Republican candidate for Com missioner. One man can not control the board, but the presence of an intelligent Re publican might save the taxpayers of the county many a hard earned dollar. Think of this and speak of it to your neighbor on Tuesday next when you go to the polls. IF wealth is to be made the test of fitness for office what will become of our country? Rich men able to buy office have become the bane of our politics. It is the corrup tion of men in search of office, and who are rich enough. to bribe;others, that has brought bribing and corruption into every State leg islature in the country without regard to politics. Will the people encourage this sort of thing by voting for Asa Packer, who has nothing but his $20,000,000 to recom mend him ? Never! WHAT HAS BECOME OF IT? The copperhead administration have been collecting a building tax for two years to pay for the new poor house. What has been done with the TEN OR FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS thus collected. Who holds the purse? Is there any speculation on foot? Does anybody get 10, 15 or 20 per cent, in terest for that money. Some tax-payers would like to know. BONDS! BONDS! Thrifty farmer or tradesman, have you in vested the savings of years of hard toil in a government bond, a Seven-Thirty or a Five- Twenty? If you have, a vote for Packer or any other copperhead, will be a vote for its repudiation. Do you wish thus to throw away your savings? There is no security but to vote the whole Republican ticket. SETTLE UP OLD SCORES. There arc a good many things that need probing in the management of our county finances. Our candidate for Auditor is just the man for this business. John P. Wil liams ought by all means to be elected. He might do much for the tax-pavers of Bed ford county by looking into the disposition of the public funds for some years past. VOTE EARLY. Go to the polls early. Vote at once. Then see that your neighbor votes. If put off until afternoon or evening something may occur to prevent your getting to the polls at all. FRESHET IN PHILADELPHIA. —After a long period of drought, in which the city suffered from want of water, it has at last got an abundance on Saturday night and Sanday. What was here but a moderate rain, was a severe storm in Philadelphia, io which rain fell in torrents, causing the near ly dried up Schuykill to swell to a flood and overflow its banks, submerge portions of Race, Vine and Callowhill streets. The flood on the Schuykill is reported the most destructive since 1850. Floods are also re ported in Baltimore and Washington doing much damage. SOLDIERS When you go to the polls remember that our candidates for the Legislature, Lieut. J. H. Longenecker and ('apt. F. B. Long, were your companions in arms and well de serve vour hearty support. You are fight ing the same enemy now on a different field. Vote for the men who risked their lives for the Union. THE well known tendency ot the rich to oppress the poor will be greatly increased if such men as Asa Packer, with his $20,000,- 000 dollars is elected Governor. Patriot ism, not wealth, should be the test of merit in a public officer Geary is poor but he serv ed his country faithfully in two wars and well deserves to be re elected Governor. REPUBLICS aim to ameliorate the con dition of the poor; the rich everywhere can take care of themselves. If such men as Asa Packer, having money without patriot ism, are to be placed in power, our Repub lican institutions will soon be wrecked and we will be ruled by a set of Aristocrats, tte worst kind of tyrants. Vote for Geary aivl Williams. THE POOR HOUSE The reckless and extravagant manage ment of the Poor House affairs, call loudly tor a change in that department. On Tues day our citizens can inaugurate that change by defeating the Democratic candidate for Director. A NEW ADMINISTRATION. The friends of a new order of things in county affairs, will do well to vote for Wil liam Phillips for county Treasurer. He is a sturdy farmer, a good honest man, and will take good care of the county's funds. Try him and you will not regret it. THE downfall of every Republic in past ages has dated from the time when rich men obtained control of the offices. De mocracy wishes to begin our downward course by electing Packer the millionaire. Let Packer and Democracy receive a wither ing rebuke in the ignominious defeat of their purse proud candidate. BUSINESS MEN You have a deep interest in the keeping of the public records. The condition and management of the Prothonatory's office call loudly for a change. Vote for J. W. Lingenfelter and try what good will come of a uew administration. BRING OUT THE VOTES See that every Republican voter ja brought out on Tuesday. Let there be no laggards. Victory may depend on a single vote. IF voters are not at the polls in good time see that they are sent for. PACKER is a rampant free trader and would have the laboring man's wages re duced to the rate of European paupers in order that his already immense wealth might be increased. Vote for Geary, good wages and protection to American industry. A GOOD CORONER No man in the county is better fitted to fill the duties of this office than Dr. A. S. Smith our candidate. Let him have a full vote. TAX PAYER, can you vote for Packer when you remember that by his dishonesty in defrauding the revenue out of $32,000 a a year, your own taxes were proportionately increased ? Vote for Geary. GOLD closed in New York, on Monday, at $1.29]. The gold excitement of two weeks ago seems to have permanently re duced the price of gold. We hope it has also permanently reduced the number of gold gamblers. Do you prefer Packer, the purse-proud aristocrat, the bloated-bondholder, the rail road monopolist and the rebel sympathizer or Geary the poor but honest man, the brave soldier of two wars ? Answer at tie polls. T.OOK out fur spurious tickets they will be plenty and every effort will be made to get you to split your ticket. Listen to no such persuasion but get your ticket from a good Republican and vote the whole ticket. SOLDIER, can you vote for Packer and Pershing, when you remember that they voted against allowing you the privilege of voting when you were fighting the battles of your country ? VOTE THE WHOLE TICKET. Dont allow yourself to be persuaded to vote for a single man on the Copperhead ticket. Don't scratch a single man. We want every man elected. WllAT could be more humiliating to the people of Pennsylvania than to have it said that her Governorship was bought with Packer's gold. Vote for Geary the Soldier and Statesman. MARKETS.
