The importance of the eleotion next Tuesday is a sufficient excuse. We hope in our next issue to be able to announce the eleotion of the entire Republican ticket, National and* County, and hereafter to make our paper more in- teresting to the general reader. —The engineer on the Montreal express train on the Delaware and Hudson road, going south, while switching cars at White- hall last Wednesday night took the wrong signal to \go ahead,\ and went away, leav- ing two ooaohes behind that he was to have taken. The train was stopped at ComBtook station and an engine sent down with the missing cars, on which were the conductor and brakeman. The train was delayed about forty-five minutes. MATTER NAT TO BE TR1FJLED WITH. Rev. J. E. O. Sawyer, of Plattsburgh, needs no other vindication of the stand he taken than the fact that he is supported by tiie clergy throughout the land, Henry Ward Beeoher being a notable exception. This is a matter that appeals to every citi- zen who wishes to have the government under which he lives honored and respect- ed. It is immaterial what may be the pri- vate morals of any citizen or any member of either political party, he does not wish to see the Presidential chair disgraced in the eyes of the world, as it certainly would be if occupied by Grover Cleveland. Our Democratic citizens are not directly responsible for the character of their can- didate. It is their misfortune. But they are under no obligations to support him, and no good citizen should do it. Let it be distinctly understood that it is not \the story of the great great crime\ alone on which the charges of Cleveland's immorality are based, but the whole course of hiB life, even since he has held the posi- tion of Governor, and not only the specific immorality, but intemperence and intoxi- cation. As this is still denied by some of Cleve- land's supporters, eight clergymen of Buf- falo on the 15 th inst. addressed a letter to James Freeman Clark, of Boston, as follows: • BOOTALO, N. Y., Oct. 15,1684. Rev. James Freeman Clark, D. D , ttoston, Monti.: DBAB SIB:—We are surprised to note In the dal- ' presfi yr.ur confident denial of all the charges _ J BSOXNT lznmoraltles which have been Drought against your candidate tor the Presidency. We are also surprised to note the foundation upon which you base It, and which appears to be* chiefly, the testimony of the accused and your own consciousness. In reply to your unqualified denial, thus pub- lished abroad, we desire to say that the charges which you so confidently contradict rest, not up- on the declaration or finding of any one man, but upon the testimony of numerous witnesses, each of them bavlDg personal knowlege of the matter. This testimony lias been received and sifted by gentlemen desirous of ascertaining the truth, and has been carefully taken down In writing. In important cases the witnesses have signed their names to the testimony which they Have given. All this you could readily have learned had — so desired, and so nave saved yourself from ... discourtesy whtoh you have shown to men who, as much as yourself, desire the truth, and who, unlike yourself in this particular case, have taken thetfroublfe to discover the truth. We are confi- dent that, If you prolong your next tour of In- vestigation beyond Albany to Buffalo you cannot fall to be convinced that the remaining charges, which you still repudiate, are as well founded as the charge of the Bpeclflo crime which at this late day you are compelled to acknowledge. We had desired to make no further utterance in this matter, which In all its bearings Is so ex- ceedingly distasteful, but your course lias left no alternative. Yours respectfully, E. E. CHIVBHS, JOHN GORDON, B. 8. MlTOHBU., W. 8. BTUDLBY, W. 8. HUBMLL, G. CHAPMAN JONBS, Y. 8. FITCH, A. BIOKLOW. Great Ado About Nothing. The Democrats are circulating the letter of Hon. Matthew Hale as a oampaign docu- ment. This shows how completely their cam- paign literature is exhausted, and how hard up they for argument. Mr. Hale has been quarreling with the Republican party for years, and has issued his letter purely out of personal spite. We call attention to one significant fact. He does not prove a single charge against Mr. Biaine. He cannot. His letter will have no weight with any intelligent man. The name of Matthew Hale sounds big, but politically he is exceedingly small po- tatoes and very few in a hill. For an analysis of his letter see \Two Chronio Kickers,\ on inside. —One man with a span of horses will get out more voters than a regiment of blusterers. It is tho duty of every patri- otio voter who has a span, to see that his less fortunate neighbor is afforded an op- portunity to reach the polls. Get out the voters, and the whole tioket, from begin- ning to end, will be elected. 8NE4K.ISH. BUSINESS I The last Republican resorts to a piece of deception to injure our Superintendent of the Poor, Mr. Vaughan, that is shameful. It arrays in a column every account that has been audited to any person in Clinton county by the name of Vaughan for the past two yearB, represents that they are all Mr. Vaughan's relatives, foots up the whole amount and charges it to the Superintend- ent, and winds up with a mean insinuation of dishonesty, in these words: \Is it surprising that C. W. Vaughan is able to buy valuable corner lots in Plattsburgh?\ Referring to Superintendent Vaughan's manly letter in another column it will be seen that O, R. Vaughan, whose name is repeated in the table twelve times, is not a relative of the Superintendent, and the some is true of others whose accounts are paraded! But what of it? Has no per- son named Vaughan a right to have any dealing with the county poor house because 0. W. Vaughan is Superintendent? Again it will be seen that the price paid for board at the County House is a little over 90 cents, instead of $3.00, as repre- sented, and that over $3,000 of the ex- penses charged to Mr> Vaughan, were in- curred by his predecessor. Also, that a two years'.supply of wood is included, and largely increased exposes for transferring the insane to this oouaty. Perhaps it has not occurred to the ma- lignera of Mr. Vaughan that all of these accounts passed under the inspection of the Supervisors' Committee on Superin- tendents' accounts, and were approved by the same, and that the chairman of the said committee was ALEXANDER BER- TRAND, of Beekma&town, Mr. Vaughan's competitor, as Democratic candidate for Superintendent of the Poor 1 Mr. Vaughan is a faithful officer, and oautious and economical in his expendi- tures of the publio funds. No better en- dorsement could be desired than the fact that the Convention that nominated him included a large number of present or for. mer Supervisors, who have acted upon his accounts, inspected his work, and know all about his official record. Among them we recall the names of Hon. Andrew Wil- liams, Hon. Geo. Ohahoon, B. E. Wells,Morrisonville John Haughran, James \F. Shedden and John F. Reynolds. No one has ever raised the question of Mr. Vaughan's fit- nesB for this office. It is doubtful whether the County House has ever been in better hands. To cap the climax of meanness, Mr. Vaughan's private household affairs are dragged in. What an awful thing that the Superintendent of the Poor should be able to own the house that shelters him! But we are able to relieve him of all sus- picion of this terrible) offense, by announc- ing that his wife, Mrs. Vaughn, is the sole owner of the house and lot in ques- i, and that she bought It with her own money, given to her by her own father ? Democrats will admit that we have not molested any of their local candidates, and this underhanded thrust at Mr. Vaughan is inexcusable. Let it be properly answered at the polls next Tuesday. Mr. Vaughan's letter will be found on the eighth page. * Read it. WILLIAM £ . SMITH. Hi* Record I From the Albany Evening Journal It seems that Mr. William E. Smith is a oandidate for eleotion to the Assembly, after all, for Clinton county. It was assum- ed that the record he made in the legisla- ture last winter after his accidental eleotion was such that he would not care to give the voters of Oltaton county an opportunity to pass judgment upon it. Mr. Smith him- self at one time entertained that idea and declined a renomination. If, however, he has concluded to enter the race, the voters of his distriot can ask him several pertinent questions. Why for, instance, did he steadily vote against the free-pass bill, which was one of the measures demanded by the anti-mon- opolists of the state and by the whole peo- ple? Why did he vote against the bill reduc- ing grain elevator charges at Buffalo and York? Why did he vote to table the bill reduc- ing the Sandy Hook pilot monopoly ? Why, in brief, did he array himself on the side of every measure favored by mon- opoly and against every measure favored by the people. We can hardly believe! that Mr. Smith en- tertains any serious notion that he can be elected. If he does the electors of Clinton county should summarily nip such hopes in the bud and elect by a decisive majority Mr. George W. Palmer, who is one of the ablest men now before the people for the Assembly. 252 ! The above represents the number of torches in the grand night parade at the Demoertfcio mass meeting in Plattsburgh last Saturday, by aotual count, which can be verified by a dozen responsible citizens in Plattsburgh, if desired. We publish these figures beoause we understand a prominent Damoorat of this town has rep- resented abroad that it was one of the grandest affairs ever witnessed here, far exceeding the Republicans. We will add that the lowest number that we have heard any one place the Republican torches in line was 927. This was by a well known Democrat, also, but one who generally gets pretty near the truth, and whose name we can give if desired. All of the Republican companies in the torch-light parade were handsomely uni- formed. None of the Democrats were, and a very large proportion were boys. —The Fouquet House is now under the man agoment of a son of Paul Smith. A MONSTER RALLY OF WORKING MEN, The Ore Miaers Oat in Force! A MAGNIFICENT PARADE Last Tuesday opened with a drizzling rain, which kept many at home, particu- larly from the south part of Essex county, but the clouds lifted, and Plattsburgh witnessed one of the grandest political de- monstrations in its history. We estimate the number on our streets at 8,000, which we think no one present will consider un- reasonable. A notable featnre was the outpouring of miners and iron workers from the great manufacturing centres of Clinton and Essex counties, Bhowing very plainly that our working men understand which is the party that protects them. FBOM-THB BOtUBSFIEIiD AND SABANAO MIN- . XSQ BECHON. • ' V • At9:30 A. M., atrain of 13 cars, laden with 800 men, from various stations on the Hwi of the Ohateaugay railroad, arrived in Pittsburgh. Of the number 250 were from the great mining centre of ROGERS- FIELD, where heretofore Democracy has held almost undisputable sway. But the men who do the work propose to protect their own interests this year, and vote for the party that raises the duty on ore in- stead of making it free. They do not pro- pose to train with the men who would re- duce their wages to 50 cents a day. They were led by the Rogersfield cornet band, a fine organization, whose musio was excel- lent, reflecting great credit upon its leader and members. Saranao and Bedford turned out about 200 uniformed men, with torches and ban- ners, and Dannem^ra, Schuyler Falls, and other points swelled the ranks. THE BSSBX 0OUNTT BBLBGATION. The arrival of the morning train of sev- enteen cars from the south, with about 1,000 passengers, mostly from Essex county, was a notable feature of the day. They came from every station; but the grand body of 300 uniformed men, Port Henry Plumed Knights, Moriah and Mine- ville Boys in Blue, from the great iron mining town of Moriah, were a centre of attraction\ and were admired for their fine behavior and discipline. These visitors from our neighboring towns were given the post of honor in the procession, and moving hastily along their lines while forming, we noted some of the unique and significant mottoes upon their transpar- encies, like the following: \WE DIG ORE!\ \NO BRITISH FREE TRADE FOR US!\ \MORRISON'S BILL TOOK THE DU- TY OFF ORE!\ \HEWITT SAflS THE TARIFF MUST GO!'» \CLEVELAND DON'T DENY IT!\ \MORIAH BUT NOT MARIA!\ Among the officers and men jne noticed many familiar faces, and among them our former townsman, Walter 0. Hathaway, one of the commanders of the corps. WADHAMS MILLS. This little manufacturing centre turned out 100 strong, and in the ranks was the old^oldier, CAPT. DANIEL F. PAYNE, proprietor of the Wadhams Mills Iron Works, whom the Republicans have nomi- nated for County Clerk, and who on Tues- day nextfpill be eleoted by about 2,000 ma- jority. 5 ^ THE TBAINS FBOJjT THB HOBTH brought a thousand or more, including fine uniformed companies from West Ohazy, Mooers, Mooers Forks, and other points, while the people came in with teams in great numbers. THE WEST PLATTSBUBGH PBOOSSSIOK. Early in the day, a procession of some 40 teams, with wagons decorated and ban- ners flying, arrived with the Morrisonville, West Pittsburgh and West Beekmantown delegations, and THE PEBU PROCESSION of Borne 30 teams arrived soon after, and drove through our principal streets. FOUB FOUB-HOB8E TEAMS FBOM ALDKB BEND. Alder Bend, another iron manufacturing centre, that has but recently sprung up under the fostering care of a Repulioan protective tariff, swelled the ranks with a fine uniformed company, who came down in four large wagons, eaoh drawn by four HOW THEY WKBJS ENTEBTAINaD. Without wishing to be egotistio, we think that the system and order with which these large bodies of men were assigned to their quarters, and to some extent provided with refreshments, reflects no little credit upon the officers and oommittees assigned to this diffioult work. We know the gen. tlemen composing the several bands ap- preoiate the painstaking care of Mr. How- croft, on tho musical committee. THE DAY PARADE. At 1 o'olook, P. u., the several divisions were formed, and with dispatch and pre- oision very oreditable to the marshal and his assistants, the whole line of 1,500 men was soon in motion. A notable feature of this procession was the FLATTSBTTBOH CITIZENS 1 OOBPB, composed of 100 business men of Platts- burgh, all wearing the regulation black silk hat, thus showing that the miners, me- ohanios and farmers are not the only class of working men who go for the party that proteoti labor. We would b« pleased to give a detailed description of the several organizations that composed the procession, but time forbids, and we give only the order of march: FIRST DIVISION. •l. Plattaburgh City Band. 2. citizens Corps of 100 business men. 8. Co. A, Plattsburgh B. and L. Guards. t »?; » \ « SECOND DIVISION. 1. Reception committee—Messrs.

The number in line was something over 1,600, while the principal streets were packed by spectators on either side. Un- der command of W. J. McCaffrey, Chief Marshal and his Aides, Messrs. Mooney, Dolan, Col. Cook, Nichols, Baker, Heath, Beokwith, Stave, Edwards, Ransom and others, the procession paraded many of the streets, and was greeted with continuous applause. During the parade the steamer A. WU- Urnns arrived with the Vermont delega- tion, over 300, •who came with torches, uniforms and banners to participate in the evening parade, the delegation including the French-Canadian club of the city. THE SPBAHKO. Immediately after the parade Bpeaking commenced at three separate stands. Hon. Ohas. Boutelle, of Maine, occupying the City Rink, Hon. Cassias M. Clay, Palmer's Hall, and Hon. Stephen A. Douglass ad- large audience from the stand on Custom House Square. The master speech of the occasion was that of Mr. Boutelle, at the Rink, who held his large audienoe for three hours. Here the Glee clubs from Malone and Port Henry interspersed most excellent music. , ISjECE OTXHXHG' PA&ADB. Never have the streets of Pittsburgh presented such a grand appearance. Oar citizens fairly outdid themselv& in the matter of iUuminations, a description of whioh would be utterly impossible. Hun- dreds of residences sparkled as if set with diamonds, while ingenious and artistic devices met the eye in every direction, and rows of lights extended Jong distances along some of the streets. The number of men in line^ was some- thing over 1,000, and the number of torches fell little if any below that num- ber. As- the procession moved through ear streets, the mea testified to their appreciation of the illuminations along the line by continuous applause. At half-past eight in the evenings the delegations were all on board, their respec- tive trains, homeward bound, without an accident that we learn of, and quiet again reigned supreme. . A most successful affair in all respects, and we believe a precursor of coming vic- tory. Now for work. Let the same enthusi- asm and determination be put into the remainder of the oampaign for the grand mass meeting at the polls next Tuesday. Let the Plumed Knights, the Boys in Blue, the Biaine and Logan Guards, and all busi- ness men and citizens from all the walks of life be on duty. No stragglers, and none in the hospital. Let the forward movement begin at once, and let it con- tinue with increasing strength till we oom- pel an unconditional surrender in the gen- eral engagement of November 4. The Attorney-General on Fftrio'ns Election Question* Attorney-General O'Brien has rendered an opinion on several questions put to him concerning voters and voting, power of In- spectors and residence, with reference to the coming eleotion. He in effect de- cides: The inspectors have the right to challenge any person offering to vote, but are bound to receive such vote if the person offering it subscribes to the oath. If the voter answers the questions in such a manner as shows that he is a qualified voter, the in- spectors have no right to require the pro- duction of naturalization papers. As to residence, if a voter has not taken his resi- dence in another town, it is held to be dear- ly his intention to retain his residence in the one in which he has resided, and he has the right to do this and vote, even if his family have removed. He has the right to retain his residence until after eleotion,Weare and to vote by continuing to reside where he has hitherto voted. Jccfdent to tho Steamer Maqaam The steamer Maqucm, en route from Plattsburgh to Maquam, Saturday night, struck a buoy while passing between the Islands at a point known as \The Gut, and had a hole stove in her hull about three feet by one in size. The hole was directly underneath the ooal, and it was some time before it could be discovered. Captain Hawley set the pumps working and forced on all possible steam, heading the boat for the nearest landing-Adams' dock. When that point was gained the water had reach- ed a depth of two feet. Temporary repairs were made and the steamer taken to the Harbor. The accident was due to the lights on the government buoys being blown out by the high wind. «*Our last word on the eve of battle is the appeal to duty: Vote early. Scrutin- ize your ballot. Stand by the WHOLE TICKET. See that your RepubUoan neigh- bors vote. Work for a oomplete victory. COUNTY POLITICO! THE ASSEiTIBJLT QUESTION. There are a great number of reasons wfcy every Republican should stand by HOUL GEORGE W. PALMER for Member *fir Assembly. 1st. On general principles. Because* he has always stood by the party and bees* an able defender of its principles as& measures. It would be a burning shame-to> allow a man of Mr. Palmer's character*; ability, experience and Republican fidelity to be defeated by any instrumentality whioh the opposition may resort to. 2d. The next Legislature will elect m. United States Senator in place of Elbridge* G. Lapham, whose term expires. /£h«* result may hinge on one vote, and we ougM* not to take any chances on Clinton County^ but make sure of the election of Mr. Falmevw 3d. Mr. Palmer stands the acknowledg- ed champion of a protective tariff, and tote influence and voice in the Legislature may be needed, as the oontroling element isfe the Democracy of this state is unmistaka- bly on the other side. 4th. Mr. Palmer'sabilltyandexperience* will at once place him in a commanding position in the Legislature, and with thfe Republican majority this may prove-«# great advantage to this locality. Let no effort be spared to elect Hr_ Palmer, and with him all the rest of ths* ticket. THE COtTlTOY TICKET, Our candidates are so universally aaeft favorably known that a detailed reference to them seems unnecessary. The Republican party has never pre- sented a County tioket more worthy of sup- port. The Republican majority this fall ought to be 1,800, and will be if not partially overcome by the excessive use of money M* . •; the other side. See that every Candida**, has the full support of theparty. JOHN ml WEVEB« We suppose there is hardly any qnwtiosk* as to which candidate for County Treasurers the tax-payers of this county prefer. Tat*. ~ JohnM. Wever are all the qualification*, that fit one as a safe custodian of the* people's money. This is a matter of business thst JtWittv not do to trifle with and in wbieb mea «t - both parties are interested. We advise **, . careful investigation of the merits and ca- pabilities of the respective candidates. SAFFORD S. TAYLOR.

We caution the Republicans of eveijr eleptidn distriot in the county to watch the* RepubUoan ballots closely at the polls «*: eleotion day, and see that no decept|ott-fe* . practiced on those who desire to vote tist*» straight Republican ticket.. Certain ot $*. •-' feat on the general result, the oppoaitioW will give its exolusive attention to the* smuggling business, in the hope of ftasbgr. one or two of their local candidates. Look, out for them. ,. . —Vote early. It encourages the workers and lightens their labors. They give the whole day to the oause. It is asking little to brighten their faces with an early ap- pearance at the polls. REWAHE »r FORGERIES. Four years ago we came- near befog ,<!»-> • feated by the Monty forgery.
