It is only a question f whether Col onel Stone's majority shall tie 100,000 or twice that number, and it all de pend on getting out the vote. The Re publicans have at least 3,000 more votes in Somerset county than the Demo crats. Every Republican vote in the county should be polled on the 8th day of November. Soldiers in service will largely lose their votes this year, because the Dom ocraU i'i Congress killed off the bill permUting troops in the Meld to cast their ballots. Only two Slates, Kansas and Pennsylvania, have laws that meet the case. Iemocratic concern for the welfare of soldiers, when practically tested, usually takes the form of dis trust and opposition. Next Wednesday afternoon the citi zens of Somerset county will have an opportunity to hear CoL W. A. Stone, Hon. Golusha A. Grow and other can didateson the Republican State ticket discuss the issues of the campaign as they understand them in the court house at Somerset. That there will be a big crowd, choice music and good ppeeches Roes without saying. The vacancy in the Oregon United States Senatorship has been filled by the election of Joseph Simon, Republi can, by 64 to -'. Mr. Simon is a He brew, born in Germany in 131. He is a progressive American, favors the firm establishment of the gold standard, the retention of the entire Philippine group; he wants a larger army and a stronger navy, and he realiz.es the necessity for the laying of a Pacific cable. Democrats as wtll as Republicans appear to think that the next Senate will be controlled by the Republicans. A gain of two or three seats will put that body in Rtpubliran hands. The chances are that the Republicans will maintain tlteir hold on the House, al- th High their majority, w hich is now in Cie neighborhood of tifiy, may be di minished slightly. The congressional canvass thus far has not been active on either side. Still, a good deal of inter est is likely to be aroused before election day comes. Confidence prevails at the headquarters of the Republican cam p gn committee. The confidence, too. i supplemented by earnest, intelligent work. Effective effort w!!l 1 made t get the full Republican vote out. This means victory. Whenever a heavy vote is polled throughout the country the Republicans wiu. On a heavy and honest vote the Republicans have been in a majority tn the United States con stant'y since lsi0. The Democratic organs that so re cently filled columns of space in defence of the theory of Free Trade, have be come as mum as oysters, experience having demonstrated-that every con tention they made is untenable, this country having gone forward at a rapid rate under the Dingley law, the exports of manufactures increasing continually a id persistently, in controversion f t le theory that a Dation must buy what fiey do not want in order to sell what the world requires and does want. It is vry clear that the political party that for so many years made Free Trade its shibboleth must find a different is sue upon which to appeal to the peo ple, and what that issue shall be, since the collapse of Free Silver, is now caus ing the managers many sleepless nights. There were those who hoped the abuses in the army would afford the temporary relief desired, but even th'.s transient refuge is now slipping from their grasp under the light of in-vediga'iou. The Republicans of Philadelphia have settled all factional differences and come together In the support of the city ticket, and a vigorous cam paign has commenced that, it is be lieved, will result in a victorious major ity of trom 50,000 to 75,000 for the whole ticket. The harmony agree ment does not cover the State ticket, but the work being done to get out a full vote can not be without iU benefi cial effects, as all will be voted for un der one heading, and the straight ticket will be CAt in most instances. This action of Philadelphia Republicans very effectually destroys any hope the Democrats might have had of benefit from their opponents' troubles. The Republicans of Somerset county will have an opportunity on the morn ing of Wednesday, October 20, to meet Col. W. A. Stone, our candidate for Governor, as well as the other candi dates oo the State ticket, as they will be in Somerset from 10 o'clock until 5:30 o'clock that day. It is hoped that all who can possibly do so will arrange their business so as to enable them to come here that day and meet and greet our distinguished visitors. You will find them honorable, upright men, who will make worthy successors to the men now filling the positions to which they hare been nominated by the Republicans of the State. Let the 'Frosty Sons of Thunder" turn out in large numbers to greet the State can didates and hear what they have to say. The speakers who will address the various Republican meetings to be held in the county between this and election day will be able ones, and the issues of the campaign will be fully discussed. Republicans should not fail to attend these meetings whenever possible. The enemies back of the recent Quay et al. prosecutions will be fully shown and the light turned on, so that all can clearly see that it is nothing more than the usual annual episode that precedes the battle of ballots. Take no stock in Democratic roorbacks, or eleventh hour canards that are sprung on the etfe of the election. Vole the straight Repub lican ticket and help swell the Republi can majority in both State and county. The only question is the majority, as there is not a shadow of a doubt about the success of both our State and county tickets. They Art For Stone. HarrUburg Telegraph. It is the habit or the Democratic orators and their assistant Mugwumpbawlerson the political hustings to point with a great deal of satisfaction to what they say is the great and growing discontent of certain Republican leaders in the larger cities, and assert that these leaders will not sup port the Republican Slate ticket. Chief of those who the Democrats and Mug wumps say are not for the Republi can ticket are Senator C. L. Magee, of Pittsburg, one of the most astute politi cians iu the Stale, whose wisdom and foresight have time and again been prov ed, and Secretary of the Commonwealth David Martin, of Philadelphia, whose po litical knowledge in this State is unsur passed. It has been the delight of the Democratic newspapers to print stories to the effect that both Seuator Magee and Mr. Martin are fighting the State ticket Uxilh and nai!, and freely predict its de feat. There is not a word of truth in the null-merit. Senator Magee has not only taken off his coat to work for the State ticket, but he has asked a! I of the Re pub licans of Allegheny comity to do the same. At the reuent meeting of the Republican State league iu Pittsburg, one of the most conspicuous men on the platform was Senator Magee, and be sat beside CoL William A. Stone. When called upon for a speech. Senator Magee, among other things, said : "As between the Democratic candidate for Governor, who during the war of the rebellion was a Bourbon Democrat, op posing every war measure of the Lincoln administration, and who now opposes a sound currency for the people of this con d cry, and the Republican candidate. who favors sound money, and who, as a boy in the 'GO'S donned the blue, shoul dered a musket and risked bis life 'hat this Government of the people, by the people and for the people should not per ish fioiu the earth,' there is but one choice aud that is to vote for the Republican candidate." If there is any Democrat in this State who can gather any consolation from those stirring and hearty remarksof Sen ator Magee, he is very much welcome to that consolation. But how about Secre tary Martin? Recently the Republicans of bis Senatorial district in Philadelphia paid him the honor of giving him a unan imous nomination for State Senator, and be was taken before the convention to make a speech. lie referred to the high honor paid bitu by the people with whom he bad lived all bis life, thanked them, and tben gave them this good advice: "One word in conclusion : I desire you to go back to tbe people in your wards and divisions aud say to them that your nominee is a Republican, and nevr fal tered in the duties be owed to bis party, and that the banner you .placed in bis bands will be carried by him in triumph, not ordy for himself, but for tbe entire Republican ticket nominated to-day in the various conventions and for tbe State ticket nominated at llarrisburg in June lssL" Aud where is tbe consolation for Demo crats in these manly words from Secretary Martin? Tbe leaders of the Rf publican party the real leaders, tbe men who year in and year out stand up and fight tbe common Democratic and Mugwump enemy, are for Col. WiiUa-n A. Slone and tbe whole Republican ticket, and when the votes art. counted on election night it will be seen that the Democrats who expected Senator Magee in Allegheny and Secre tary Martin in Philadelphia to aid them, will be very badly fooled. They are Re publicans, and they are supporting tbe ticket. Let every Republican in theSlate stand up for tbe ticket, and it will be elected by a majority as large as that given President McKinley two years ago. Freedom's Say in Forte Bice. Poxce, Porto Rico, Oct 17. It bad been arranged to assemble all tbe regi meutal bands at noon to-morrow and play the "Star Spangled Banner" after tbe firing of 44 guns from tbe batteries in celebration of tbe surrender of tbe island to the I'nited States, but in consequence of Ui intense heat Gen.

Ixindos, Oct. 16. Andrew Carnrgie has written a letter to the "Spectator" pro testing against its statement that tbe 'ate Thomas F. Bayard badthehonorabledis tinction, "rare among American politi cians," of dyinga poor man. Mr. Carne gie classes this remark as bitterly nnjust, and be points out tbat Mr. Bayard was well-to-do when compared to tbe majori ty of the residents of the Repoblic lie add.: "One reason why the most ambitious public men do not seek wealth is tbat it is fatal before a nominating convention. No candidate for the Presidency would be thought of wbo bad a large income. There Is no record of honest poverty among tbe prominent politicians of any country comparable with that of tbe great Republic." FOLLOW VT OUR TICT0SY, JITS XeriSLZT.

He spoke this noon to 15, 0f people in tbe ball of tbe Merchants' Exchange, tbe room in which Samuel J. Tildeo was nominated for Presideut in IS70, and this evening at a genet al reception in the Col iseum in tbe Exposition building. At tbe Merchants' Exchange the Presi dent spoke as follows: "Ladies and Gentlemen : I thank you all most cordially for the warm welcome you have given me to your city, and I congratulate you all upon the good feel ing and the splendid spirit everywhere found throughout tbe length and breadth of our common country.

"I congratulate you again upon the splendid outlook for the business future of the country. We were never so well off as we are to-day ; we have gone from business depression to business activity ; we have gone from labor hunting em ployment to employment hunting labor. (Applause.) "And we have everything a most blessed country, and resting upon all of us is the duty of carrying forward the great trust of civilization that has been committed to us. We must gather the fruits of victory ; we must lollow duty step by step ; we must follow tbe light as God gives us to see the light. And be has Btrangely guided us, not only at the very beginning of our government, but down to tbe present hour, and I am sure it is the universal prayer of every Amer ican that He shall still guide and we fol low. I thank you." Five full minutes of applause followed tbe President's address, mingled with cries of "Hurrah for Mac!" and "Three cheers for McKinley !" KES0XS OF 8AHTIAG0.

It was agreed that the Oregon, Captain Clark, dashed hiside and ahead of the other American ships at tbe beginning of the engagement, kept along well in range of tbe enemy and was tbe chief factor in the surrender of tbe Cristobol Colon. The Texas, Captain Philip, was shown to have beaded in at once when the alarm was given, and to t.ave turned 1 n a par allel course wiiblbe Spaniards, iu good range anil at high speed. At one position on the official chart tbe Texas, is shown to be only yards from tbe Vizcaya The Iowa, Captain Evans, is shown to have gone inside tbe Texas, Oregon and Brooklyn at the beginning of the action. The course of the Indiana, Captain Tay lor, is inside of all, but necessarily in tbe rear. SCHLEY FOl'OHT AT LONO BANGS According to united testimony, tbe Brooklyn (Commodore Schley), when Cervera came out, was lying somewhat farther seaward than tbe other American ships. She headed in at once and when about 3X1 yards from tbe leader of the approaching Spanish squadron, tbe Maria Teresa, Cervera's flagship, she turned to tbe eastward, bow onto tbe other Amer ican vessels, tben doubling southward to sea for a short distance. Schley then took up the running fight with the Spaniards, keeping on a parallel course, well outside of all the other ships, but in advance. He kept this position until the Colon sur rendered, at an average distance of about two miles from tbe enemy. BAKE CASHIEE 8 CMM. Ho Steals For 20 Years and Wrecks the Institution. Washington, D. C, Oct 13 Charles G. Dawes, Comptroller of the currency, to-day wired the cashier of tbe Tioga Na tional Bank, of Oswego, N, Y., of which Senator T. C. Piatt is president, to close tbe doors of that institution, receiving no more deposit and transacting do more business, stating that he had placed C. E. Vaubrocklin, national bank examin er, in charge of the bank. This action was taken by tbe Comp troller as a result of the recent examina tion by Examiner Vaubrocklin, which disclosed a large defalcation on the part of Eli W. Stone, tbe assistant cashier of tbe bank. Assistant Oshier Stone died at h:s home on Wednesday night, shortly after he had been confronted by the examiner with tbe defalcation. .He confessed his guilt to the Examiner. Tbe Examiner reports tbat, from as careful an examina tion of the books of the bank as he has been able to make, there is 'no evidence wbateverof any complicity on the part of other officers of the bank. Tbe defalca tion occurred through the manipulation of tbe individual deposit ledger by tbe assistaut cashier when actipg as receiving teller. It is understood the peculations of tbe assistant cashier covered about 29 years, small amounts being taken at a tiinr. This was made possible by Slone acting at timee as both receiving teller and in dividual bookkeeper. Fredern-k E. Piatt, brother of Senator Piatt, is cashier of tbe bauk. Assistant Cashier Stone admitted that he had fctol eit about (12,000.

Even His Enemies Concede Tn"ey Have Fallen Flat. AN UNBIASED ANALYSIS OF THEM Charge Held in Secret For Over Fiv Month and Then Sprung Just a Week Toe Lat to Give Him a Chance to Answer Before the Election Tbe Flimsy Character of the Testimony Toe Evidence That th Whole Thing Is th Last Eflort of a Con spiracy of Disappointed OSes Seeker, Similar to th Morey Letter Forgery Agalnit Garfield. Philadelphia. Oct 15. One of tbe most sensational political bomb since the Morey forgery against Garfield was exploded here this week with what promises to be a very similar effect I allude to the charge made against Senator Quay, hi son. R. R. Quay, ex State Treasurer B. J. Haywood, and Attorney Charles H. McKee. People who are Intelligent enough to read have become so used to whole sale and reckless charge against can didates in th last day of political campaigns that when such allegations are made too late to be tried out be fore the election they are discredited at tbe outset and voter demand abu-4'ant proof before treating them otherwise than with contempt It la but an unbiased statement of fact to say tbat these charges have fallen flat. This is the common talk among law yers and business men who are famil iar with banking methods. An examination of ' the columns of several of the daily newspaper of this ctty and vicinity would Indicate a dif ferent state of feeling, but the relation between some of these paper and all matters of publicity in which Mr. Wan amaker is supposed to have an Interest are peculiar. If Catiline had run a big department store in Philadelphia as an annex to hi conspiracy in Rome, and spent liberally for advertising, Cicero's denunciation of him would never have been heard of by the read er of these Journals, and instead of being banished from Rome Catiline might have posed to the end of hi day a a royal purple patriot and a leading business man. Yet a an example of how thia boom erang prosecution strike an editor who, although friendly to Mr. Wana maker, and openly supporting Swallow, ha some regard for the truth and for bis own fame as one of the great po litical editors of the country, read this editorial utterance from the pen of Colonel A. K. McClure in the Philadel phia Time of yesterday morning. He says: "Senator Quay has been helped rather than hindered in his great battle by a prosecution Instituted too late to be determined before the election, when all the facta relied upon to Incriminate him were aa well known to the a yet hidden prosecutors month ago a they are today. In this age of universal schools and newspaper personal de famation and political prosecutions which must be tried after the political contest Is over, carry no conviction to the people of honesty of purpose or de votion to law and an honest pubile policy. " When the first proclamation of the charges was made, with the Informa tion that the whole police machinery of the city and county was thought to be so unequal to serving the warrant that they had been put in the hands of the Pinkertons a body of men so obnoxious tbat a bill was Introduced in the legislature not long ago forbid ding their employment in this state public interest was worked up to a high pitch. Nervous women who had relatives in the army might well trem ble at the prospect that the district at torney might yet call the troop back into the field, in order to have the war rant served upon these desperate men at the point of the bayonet. When it was announced, apparently by author ity, that the district attorney was about to mount a guard, armed with a rifle and two revolver, at the vault con taining the evidence, there waa a nat ural curiosity to bear some of this precious evidence. When the first de fendant were arraigned the magis trate's room was thronged almost to suffocation. That was last week. This week, when Mr. Haywood was arralgnej. only a corporal's guard of loungers about police headquarter retained curiosity enough to attend. The peo ple had digested the sample of what the district attorney calls evidence, and rated it at what it was worth. The great sensation didn't last long enough to be even a nine days' wonder. The tone of tbe state newspapers corre sponds with thi situation, and the comment of hundreds of men who have been honestly opposed to Sena tor Quay, but who despise assassina tion of character a a campaign weapon, accords with it. The reason of this 1 not hard to find. It is not that the people of Pennsylvania are willing to cloak guilt In any man. or to permit any station, however high, or any past services, however great, to check the machinery of Justice. But the common sense of fair mind ed men revolts at seeing tbe machinery of the court turned over to any po litical faction to be used a an instru ment of personal spite and disappointed ambition. "for Justice, all place a tetnple, and all reason summer." But tbe only temple in all this city whlih suited tbe purpose of this prose cution. Into which to take a senator of the t'nlted States, was the com mon police court where the odoriferous drunk and the greasy vagrant have their dally morning bearings, and in all till long trammer, during which alt tbe book and paper were in the hand of the assistant district attorney, there was no seasonable date for beginning thi prosecution until just a few days too late to be tried before the election. It may be only a coincidence that dur ing all these months of silence the dis trict attorney, after IS consecutive year In office, expected to be again renominated, and that the suits were Instituted shortly after be was notified by Republican leader of all faction that they would not challenge an up rising of the church and fireside vote of th moral community by putting him trial n on the ticket If the co Incidence Is not significant it is at least unfortunate. The evidence of dishonesty of purpose n tbe time of bringing the prosecu tion, within a few week ot the election, after delaying for five months, compels even Colonel Mi-Clure to acknowledge it Tbe character of tbeevidence present ed, and tbe manner of conducting tbe hearing, were equally discrediting. Th defendant were not given the privilege which In common decency belongs to 'be lowest suspicious character that of being confronted with their accuser, The most searching cross examination failed to uncover the mysterious per son wbo were behind the prosecutions, A hired detective in the district attor ney' office made the Information, and even he war not put on the witness stand. Tne informatlorifwas made and the hearing held before a police magis trate who had for years been a clerk In the oClce of the district attorney, to whose influence he owed hi Job. Th special assistant district attorney was the atar witnes for the prosecution. Tbe defense, of course, la not heard at a preliminary bearing. It needed only a commitment to prison without the privilege of bail to miki the whole proceeding a summary, ar bitrary and one-sided as those by which tbe police of the cxar consign whomso ever they see fit to the mine of 8Iberta, or the Grand Turk baa his offending subject tied up in a sack and cast tnto the Bosphoru. And what did all the evidence, so dra matically vaunted In advance, amount to?

Remember the name when you buy again. CCOCOOQCOOOSOCOOOGCCD First, that Senator Quay had an ac count in the People' bank for many years; that, like two-thirds of the busi ness men In Philadelphia, notable among them Mr. Wanamaker. he waa buying and selling stocks, sometime with a profit, sometimes at a loss; that like three-thirds of the business men, molt notoriously Including Mr. Wanamaker. he wa borrowing money from time to time on hi notes secured by the deposit of satisfactory collateral. But In all the correspondence and memoranda ub mltted there wa not one allusion. direct or Indirect, to any depoi.lt of public money of any ort. Upon the contrary there was almost continuous reference. In almost every letter, to Senator Quay's personal account, and the stock, bonds and the like which he had deposited as xrurlty for his loans. Cv ond. There was no evidence, charge or insinuation that the state or any stockholder, depositor or creditor of the bank had lost a dollar by It dealings with the defendants, nor even a sugges tion that anybody, at any time, had ever risked losing anything thereby. Third. There wa exhibited a pocket note book, purporting to have been kept by an official of the bank who commit ted suicide after confessing to embez zlement not one of the books of the bank wherein appeared, among a mass of other unintelligible memoranda, thi: "200 Quay." And In two other place some other figures with "McKay" In one instance written near by, and "McKee" in an other. In neither case were the names written In tbe same ink, or apparently In the same band aa the figure. They were evidently written In afterward. It Is an Interesting fact, not developed at the hearing, but will be proved aa soon a the defense has a chance to be heard (If the case is ever pressed for trial), that after the bank closed, and several days before the receiver came Into pos session, one of the men suppposed to be behind this prosecution, and one of Sen ator Quay' most vindictive enemies, obtained entrance to the bank by night, went through Its private receptacles and took away to a private house a bag full of it papers and most valuable securities. If it were necessary to make alteration In private memorandum books there wa abundant opportunity to do so. But ever If the memoranda were not forged. It would require an expert with an India rubber Imagination to find in them evidence to sustain the charge of "conspiracy to misuse state money." any more than conspiracy to recruit two hundred Spanish spies. Fourth. There wa evidence that R. R. Quay, the senator' son. who with refined malignity is also included In the dragnet information, at one time bor rowed J100.000 from the People' bank. The books of tbe bank, however, also show that he deposited at the same time $125,000 worth of stocks and-bonds as security tor the loan. The evidence that these securities were good and suf ficient Is that when It became necessary for him to pay the note, he transferred his securities to two other bank two of the oldest and most conservative na tional bank In Philadelphiaand bor rowed the money upon them to do so. The only other transaction of R. It Quay referred to in the whole tro ceedlng Is in a letter from the senator, saying that "Dick would be there the next week, and would probably need some help. If necessary, sell enough of my Sugar certificates to enable you to accomodate him." Doe this look a If the Quay had the state funds o use at their convenience? Fifth. When RT R. Quay applied for this loan, although his securities wero ample, being Via to 100, there str.I re mained the question whether the bank was in condition to snare so much money. President McManes did Just what any bank president would do to avoid the chance of being pinched for currency write to customers having heavy deposits subject to check with out notice to Inquire whether thej were likely to check heavily In the near future. The state being the heaviest depositor, he naturally wrote to the state treasurer. Treasurer Hay wood replied that the state deposit to the amount of some (600.000 would not be checked out. u.itll the HoO.OOO note was paid or arranged for. As the R. R. Quay loan was a call loan, that is to say. subject to payment at any time on demand, and had abundant collateral subject to sale by the bank to meet it this Haywood statement did not amount to more at the most than, an assurance that be would not check heavily on the bank without, say, a week' notice. The suggestion sought to be Insinu ated that the $600,000 of state money, besides R. R. Quay's securities amount ing to $1.5.000, Is to be regarded as pledged for an indefinite time to secure fata loan of $100,000, ia too ridiculous for serious discussion. Banks which de mand $725.0110 security for $100,000 loan, do not break, and the People' bank did. This Is the whole of thla case, inau gurated with so sensational a flourish ef trumpets, and on thla sort of evi dence all four defendants were held In tail not to be tried nor to have an op portunity to defend themselves until after the election. The present political effect of uch a proceeding, so conducted at thi time, la as stated at the beginning of this rv I view of it. If these defendant ai guilty of any wrong doing no reputable newspaper, no good citizen, would have them go unpunished, but intelligent press and fair minded people, however . they may approve or condemn Sen- I ator Quay' course In politic, or how ever they may oppose or favor his re- I election, are alike quick to see the dif ference between the Impartial sword ot public Justice and the poisoned dagger , of private malice handled by political joats. staiihing In the dark.
