While tec earnestly support the car. - didate of our party for President of the United States, we would. not detract one jot or little from the well-earned fame of the distinguished gentleman who honors the opjjosition by bearing its standard.

If Dishonest Then, In He Hencttt i Now? "What a leading Republican paper now supporting Bialne thought of him in 1872: “The ■startling erjiosnre of Sjwttker Blaine's venality in connection with the Union Pacific Bond, Bast cm Division, entirely destroys, of course, whatever credit some jnoplc may have given his evasiiv denial of the Oakes Ames bribery, ■and puts the whole cgse of the Credit. Mobilier uj>on a different basis. * * * Now it is shown that Speaker Blabxe never deserved his good reputation. He had taken brilws in another caseJT—[New York Tribune, Sept. 30,1872.

A Democratic gain of4,000 or 5,000 in such a place as Vermont is encouraging^ Tiie Sentinel is ready with, its answer to the Blaine suit. Blaine is new wanted West. _• Hon. W. 1). Bynum has been nominated by the Democracy of the Seventh district for Congress. The Republican majority in Vermont is quitch reduced, Burlington gave a Democratic victory, the first in its> history. Ir Ma. Ben-net is not still getting his nine dollars per day for his services, why is it that he yet lias possession of the books, jwpers and keys to the ofiice ? The iiorde of political demagogues who have had ‘ their arms in the Treasury, up to their shoulders for the past twenty years, will soon be hunting a job.

The jHjople of Indiana are very sensitive as to their school-fund, ’We would advise “Gov.” Calkins to pay back that $300, will* the interest and costs, without deiay. The Democratic majorities of 1884 promise to be the tap sheaf in the history of political events. Young voters will join the throng .and inarch with us, on to victory. Gen. Daniel E. Sickles denies that he has conic out for Blaine, lie will vote for Cleveland, and says that we shall have “a clean, honest and honorable administration.” The election returns from Vermont •'aid Arkansas arc calculated to Mr. Blaine the third-day “ague.” figures unmistakably portend downfall of the sham Knight. give The the It is currently reported IJiat the great Hepubliean speaker, of Pike comity, Rev. Mr. Rusk, lost sixty dollars by bucking against the wheel of foriulie last Saturday in the fair ground. How is this for high ? Mr. Ben xet knows how to hold a soft tiling when lie has it. He is still in Petersburg, and we arc informed by a propiiueiit Republican, is stjll in the employ of I bat party nt a salary of nine dollars per day, tb he nai l out of the comity treasury.

I!suce Cakr bribed a county ai/periz.ijr.t2eMl and another gentleman in Switzerland county this State, for the purpose of introducing liis favorite school books. IJrace is now the Republican ^candidate tor Auditor of State. What do the voters of ;(iibsou county think M this ?—[ Princeton Democrat As the time is approaching for a great election, i! may be of interest to some to know the requirements of legality to vote in our State. As; to citizenship, if not already one, your intention declared is only required. Six months, in the State, sixty days in the county, thirty days in the voting precinct. Excluded from voting, “fraudulent voters and bribers.” The Montgomery Mail and Advertiser publishes and cxjiQses a deliberate attempt made thine l»y i>oiideal scalawags to stir up strife between the white and colored people for politieal cSect in the north. So outrageous was the scheme that a very large number of respectable colored people publish a card denouncing it. It is one of the schemes of the ‘“aggressive campaign." _

Mr. Clapp, the highwayman who is collecting “voluntary contribuliioirA" from Government employes in aid of Mr. Blaine's candidacy, serves a warning upon sue If as refuse to contribute “that thevv will all be spotted and make to walk the plank in the event of Mr. Blaine's election.” And yet the Republican plat for in is pronounced upon the subject of civil service reform. J IIon. Charles J. Bolokh, Secretary of tlic Treasury* of the United States, died at his home iii Geneva, ,N. Y., on last Thursday afternoon. Ilis sudden death too k the country by surprise. lie had bee A ill for a long tint-but was supposed to have recovered his health end 'his death was •therefore entirely unexpected. He had fed a long and honorable public life and his death will be sincerely regretted. '% ‘ Blaine and Ben Butler, those two horncy handed sons of toil who arc just now posing as the friends of the poor laboring men, each have elegant mansions in Washington City built during their public service. Blaine's cost $100,000 and rents for $13,000 a year and Butlers rents for $24,000 a year. Men who roll in luxuries in palatial residences know and care very little for the jioor luan who toils at day labor for a liv ing. Blaine is a millionaire, Butler is a millionaire and Cleveland is a man in moderate circumstances. Mr. Cleveland lias had ojyiortunitics to enrich himself in office, but lie lias attended to to the public business as though it were a solemn trust. Old fashioned eople who believe in oldfashioned honesty will vote fop the man whose official record is unstained bv jobbery or unfaithfulness—the man who has never bad in his pocket a dollar dishonestly or shamefully earned. _^ ■ —,- John Q, Fellows, of New York, in ail interview said : “The Democratic Committee have reports from l,70t) districts outside o:f New York and Kings, which give the names and post-office addresses of forty thousand Republicans who, will vote for Cleveland and Hendricks. I believe I that Cleveland will have a majority of one hundred thousand in New York. The Blaine men do a great I deal of talking, bnt they don't give : any figures. I have Ho doubt of the result in the country at large.” While the Hocking valley mine strikers are quietingdown handsomely and submitting heroically to the inevitable—starvation or emigration westward—the Pittsbnrgeoal diggers arc assuming a threatening attitude op account of the importation of contract lltmgaiians to till their places. It is an irrepressible eouflict between ignorant laborers and unscrupulous and grasping monopolists, as much as the question of slavery was an irrepressible conflict between the abolitionists aud the slave-holding oligarchy.—[Cincinnati Evening Post, (Kep.) __ The Democrats of Michigan met in State Convention on the 20th ult. The Greenback Convention was in session at tlic‘same time, and by a conference it was agreed to divide the electoral ticket—the G recubackers having six and the Democrat? seven. Six of these electors are to be voted on jointly with six National electors, except Flanders, who, with s National elector selected for that purpose, will he voted for separately h) each party according to the Bntlei plan so that the electoral vote may hi thrown for the Presidential candidate in accordance with the popular voti of each party.

We have learned the contents of a secret circulor that has been sent into this comity by the chairman of the Republican State! Central Committee. It is Xo. 5 anti elated Ang. 4th, showing that four others have also been sent out. Among other things, lit points out the necessity for a close and secret organization anti wants the names and polities of all the officers of any Grange, Labor or Trudcs Union organization. The names and aelclress of all German and Irish Democrats are requested in order that Republican papers and other camgaig n literature may be sent to them. Prom this it will be seen that the Republicans arc at their old tricks of four years ago and they will doubtless make a desperate effort to capture Indiana. To defeat their scheme should be t he special work of1 every Democrat hud each individual mem!x:r of the party should organize' himself into a committee of one and go to work at once and continue from now ; uutil afier the election.—[Franklin j i teiHoerui.

The Maine Election. [Imlit.impolts Sentinel, Tuesday, Sept. ah.} i Maine voted yesterday. The 11cppblieans a. &w \yeeks ago were claiming a majority of 23.000,. It shrank badly yesterday, and will pro bally! settle tround 12,000. Years ago Maine was a staunch Republican State. From 28,000 to 30,000 was her average majority for Republican candidates previous to 1870. Grant had 28,000in ISOS and and 32,000 in ’7:1, but Greenbackisin and Tildeu’s popularity kept HayesMuajority down to 16,0$). Garlield had but 8,868. The average majority in Presidential elections since 1808 the majorities'have been as follows : 1868 . 20,403 Rep. 1872. 17,218 Rep. IS7B . 12,816 Rep. 1877. 5,111 Re p. 4878. 12,757 Fusion 1879.. ... ' 803 Fusltui 1SS9 . Col Fusion 1882. 6,886 Rep. TJhe Republicans should show today a heavier majority than at the same election in 1876, because the Greenback party was then about as styling as it is now, and then, as upon yesterday, it voted with the Republicans. lu 1876 the Republican majority was nearly 15,000, and Tildeu and Hendricks carried overwhelmingly the country in November of that year.

The news from New York State is most encouraging to the Democracy. In au interview with the New York ; Graphic lion. J. Thomas Spriggs, | member of Congress from the Utica district, said: “I feel very confident about the result in our section. The farmers and business people are strongly for Cleveland,. The Republican disaffection is very large and determined, and is growing. Oneida county will certainly go Democratic. The farmers especially regard Cleveland as one Of their sort, sprung from them and speaking their views as to honest, simple and efficient government. The other evening I addressed a meeting in the town of New Hartford, and was surprised, after the meeting1, to see several persons known to me as strong Republicans, come forward and announce their intention of voting for Cleveland and Hendricks. One of them said to me: ‘1 guess we will know how the accounts stand within a year or so; Cleveland will examine the books.7 From what I know of the rural districts of the State, I have no hesitation in saying that we shall come to Kings Bridge with a good majority, carrying the State for Cleveland and Hendricks without reference to the great Democratic majorities in the counties of New York, Kings, Queens and Suffolk.” ‘Thrice The Brindle Cat Hath Sewed;’ The Eastern Argus, of Portland, Me., of the 30th ult., says editorially: “Mr. Blaine has gone into the libel suit business, it seem;;, to the tunc of 150.000. What the occasion of it is we have not learned, but wc supjiose a repetition of the old Kentucky inciibul. I;' that b_ v.. wfiy did lie liOt attack the Chicago Times, that had two columns,supported by affidavits? This is a very old trick with Mr. Blaine. He tried it on us more than twenty-five years ago, to tlie thne of 120.000, if we remember rightly. We paid only for tlie wri t in the civil suit. A year and a half after, he had ns indicted in another county and we promptly demanded trial, but we did not succeed in getting it, and at' the next term of court a ltOl pros, was entered without our knowledge at the opening of the term, and official notice given ns thereof. The whole thing was mere bluff. Western editors will not be greatly disturbed by attempts in the same line now. If Mr. Blaine proposes to be a witness, as seems to be intimated, there will be great interest to hear Mr. Blaine's version of the affair. As matter of fact, however, he Will do nothing of the sort. ! After the election is over he will get out of court the easiest way lie can.” The World’s Exposition. | The World's Exposition will open at Now Orleans on Dec. 1st. The following notes will be found of interest : There will be a collection of odd and curious newspapers from all parts of the world on view at the World’s Exposition^ New Orleans next winter. Tennessee, among other things, will send to the World's Exposition a marble temple showing specimens of marble taken from various parts of the State. A sample of Alabama timber will be sent from Mobile to the World's Exposition. It is a stick of pine timber forty-two inches square and eighty-one feet long, worth $1000. A large collection of Puebla marble which is known in the United States as Mexican onyx is being prepared at the City of Mexico, for the World’s Exposition at New Orleans. The most encouraging news comes from the island of Jamaica. The grant of $3000 by the government will be supplemented by private subscription to (lie amount of $2000 more. A capable representative of the island will be in attendance to give special information to visitors, and keep the exhibits in order.

One of the curiosities to be exhibited at the New Orleans Exposition is a palmetto stump completely petrified. It was dug up recently from the sand on the beach at Mount Pleasant, S. C., and weighs forty pounds. It is solid stone, and the grain of the palmetto wood is easily discerned. It is said to l>e the only, instance on record hr which palmetto 'wood has ever become petrified. .Recently, in tins city ol Mexico a breakfast was given to the artists of the Eighth Regiment Band that has been assigned to duty at the World’s Exposition next winter. Toasts were offered for the success in New Orleans of this remarkable body of artists. The band comprises over sixty musicians, and on the occasion in mention played overtures from “William Tell,” “Crown Diamonds,” “Carmen,” etc. During the recent mass meeting of planters held in New Orleans, the following resolution was adopted : That a committee of arrangements of five members be appointed by the president to prepare for the proposed Indnsturial Congress, to be held at New Orleans during the continuance of the World’s Exposition. The significance of this is that the Industrial Congress will be held at. New Orleans and thereby an attractive feature will be added to the exposition season.

Col. Fredrick E. Goodrich's admirable “life? of'GroterCleveland is now ready; it is handsomely bourn! and printed, and contains upwards of MO pages; it is illustrated by first-class artists; it is from the press of Messrs. I H. IlailettA; Co., of Portland, Maine. I As a rapid biographer, Col. Goodrich, doubtless stands without a rival hi j America, and the volume has the impress of the broadest in formation and most careful attention on every page,This is the biography that received the inestimable benefit of the active cooperation and assistance of Mr. Clove-, land, his relatives and friends ; this is the volume that is recoin mended by the friends and private Secretary of the distinguished Candidate; it is a true picture, drawn by a. master hand, of the life of the Statesman from the humble cradle to the present day, and presents a striking contrast to the score of so-called “lives” which are to a large extent filled with irrelevant matter made up from the newspapers of the day; those who are wise will subscribe only for the authentic Portland edition—the largest, cheapest, handsomest and best. The stecV-plate portaits of Cleveland and Hendricks were engraved for the volumes and are a standing rebnKe to the caricatures which appear in the so-called “lives” with big pretensions. AVe understand that this Authentic, Standard edition is outselling all others, more than ten to one, and that its agents are meeting with the most phenomenal success. A few more agents are wanted by the publishers; the most liberal terms are offered. It is a splendid chance for beginners, as with this grand hook no one can fail to do a great business. The volume also contains a biography of Thomas A. Hendricks.

wseta (CmUmued/rotn tagt \ecek.) How Watch Cases are Made. It is a fact not generally known that the James Hoes’ Gold Watch Gates really contain more pur* gold than many “ solid ” gold casts The demand for these watch rases has led to the manufacture of & * cry poor grade of solid gold watch cases— low in quality, and deficient in quantityThese cases are made from 4| to 10 karats, and a 5 or C karat case is often sold for 12 or 14 karats. It is not economy to bay a watch cose so poor in quality thatit trill soon lose its color, or one so soft that it will lose its shape and fail to shat tight, thus letting in dust and damaging the works, or one so thin that a slight blow will break the crystal, and perhaps the movement. It IS economy to bay a James ibis’ Gold Watch Que, in which none of these things ever occur. This watch case is not as experiment—it has been made nearly thirty years. Hazleton, Pa., Oct St, 1SS2.
