Bellefonte, Pa., October 25, 1889. P, GRAY NBER, =~ - — Ebp1tor. Democratic State Ticket. FOR TREASURER, EDMUND A. BIGLER, OF CLEARFIELD. | Democratic County Ticket. For Associate Judge— THOS. F. RILEY. For Prothonotary—L. A. SCHAEFFER. \ For District Attorney=J. C. MEYER. For County Surveyor—GEO. D. JOHNSON. For Coronor—Dr. JAMES W. NEFF. Premeditated Slaughter. BiLLy Gray isn’t being used right by his party manipulators. It is true they didn’t entertain a hope of electing a District Attorney, but since they al- lowed him to go on the ticket they shouldn't be so mean as to cut him for the benefit of FLEMING. Sometimes, to serve other purposes, it is convenient to have a stalking-horse, and it looks as if WiLL1aM is being put to that use. To get control of the principal office connected with the court is bigger game for the Bellefonte Republican than to elect a Prosecuting Attorney. In addition to his political schemes Boss Hasrtines has his legal schemes that would be greatly advanced by having a man at his command at the fountain head of legal proceedings. The other fellows in the ring would also be advantaged by having hold ofthe wires connected with the principal court of- fice. They all appreciate the benefit it would be to the entire gang and are willing to sacrifice anything just now to get FLEMING placed where he could do them so much good. ring GRAY is of no account in their caleu- lation of chances, and will be traded off if the ringsters can find anybody to dicker with. But it isn’t likely that they will find any Democrats to assist them in cutting Wrirriax’s nnsophisti- cated throttle for the purpose of bring- ing the Prothonotary’s office under the control of a set of huckstering politi- cians. A Popular Candidate Who 1: Sure of A Very Large Vote. There is nothing strange in the fact that everybody expects, and the Re- publicans admit that Mr. J. C. MEYER, the Democratic nominee for District Attorney, will receive an unprecedently large vote at the coming election. The reasons are his efficient and faithful performance of the duties of the office during the past three year; his uniform courtesy to all, and the very able man- ner in which he conducted the import- ant commonwealth cases that had to be brought before the court. By his promptness in preparing his cases he has saved to the county thousands of dollars each vear since he has been in office ; by conducting the prosecutions himself, be has saved the county hun- dreds of dollars in extra attorney fees, and by fearlessly doing his duty under all circumstances: he has shown to the criminal element that crime is not to be compromised, or lawlessness cov ered up. In fact his opponents made a attorney, and for every right think- ing voter in the county will cast a ballot for his re-election. will admit that he has model prosecuting this very reason If the Democrats get out their full vote they can carry the county by the usnal majority, and if the same ef- fort extends throughont the State the candidate of the Treasury speculators can be defeated. This should be desir- able to all classes of both in the State it voters in State and county, for The Court Should Not Be a Political | Monopoly. One of the most deserving candidates county ticket is 1HoMas F. RiLey, the nominee for As- sociate Judge. He is a citizen who has always had the confidence and respect | of the community in which he resides, on the Democratic and whose integrity has been generally recognized. His characteristics well ate Judge. He is a man of good com- mon sense, who understands the wants of the great mass of common people, to which class he be'ongs and in whose interest he would sit on the bench. In any question coming before the court requiring hisattention it may be depend- with strict regard to justice, with an honest desire to serve the public inter- est and to promote the ends of morality and good order. There is every reason to believe that, without being fanatical his earnest endeavor would be to so act and immorality. This he would do not only because he is a moral man, but also because as a man of good sense he knows that the good of society requires good order and good morals. There are other reasons why Mr, Ritey should be elected Associate It would not advance the in- terest of the county to have the entire judicial bench under the exclusive con- Republi- cans as well as Democrats would be benefited by preventing such a judicial Judge. trol of one political party. monopoly. Republican ring influence is aiming at complete supremacy in our Court—it is reaching for the Pro- thonotary’s office—it would occupy and hold the entire bench and coutrol the legal machinery and the avenues of 3ut thisscheme justice in our county. of a designing political ring can be de- feated by the election of Thoyas F. | RILEY to the Associate Judgeship, in connection with Mr. ScHEFFER's re-elec- tion as Prothonotary Democrats, Use Your Teams! There is not a townships in the county but has a dozen or more Demo- crats who have good teams, and who would be willing to use them on elec- tion day in hunting out voters, if they | thought it was necessary for them to | doso to have the party win. We want to tell them that it is neces- sary—and very imperatively necessary for them to do so. The Republicans have the offices and the money. In order to give Gen- ITasTiNGs a big boost in his guberna- tional aspiration, his oatside friends have raised a sum to be added to that raised by the local ring to get out the full Republican vote of the county, in the hope of carrying it, which fact would be credited to him, and thus strengthen his chances for the nomina- tion next fall. They have the money already raised and are only waiting to place it in the proper hands in each township to bring out every Repnbli- can vote. To oft-set their money the Democrats work of the Democratic people. We ly get it out by relying on Democrats who have teams, to see that every voter is provided with some way of get- ting to the polls. A Democratic horse and buggy, or a pair of horses and a wagon, used to advantage on election day, will be of more effect in winning a Democratic victory than all the arguments and speeches and disputes that are indulged in from one year's end to another. ———————————— ——FLEMING, Gray and Musser be- | longed to the crowd who last year rep- got control of the government labor would start off on a millennial career of pros- resented that if the Republicans would mean an honest administration | of the Treasury and an end put to the State money being used for private mean a rebuke to management in the speculation, and in the county it would | through the | l} commissioners’ office that has already squandered the surplus that was left in the treasury by the Democratic board, and is ranning the county in debt with nothing to show for it.

Letter from Ex-Senator H. J. Humes, Mr. Bigl-r was pledged by the state convention, and has given his word that he will faithfully execute the provisions of the act of June 6, 1883. Henry K. Boyer has given no such pledge and his party now in power is flagrantly violat- ing that law, both in spirit and letter by giving “the state treasury ring banks” the interest on public funds. After the passage of the act of June 6, 1883, Governor Pattison was obliged to resort to the courts by mandamus to com- pel the commissioners of the sinking fund to obey the law. The law was treated as a nullity till 1884. But let us hold Governor Pattison responsible for its execution for three years and five months, and compare that term with the one year and eleven months of Gover- nor Beaver’s administration as appears by the state treasurer's sworn report. From the passage of the law of June 6. 1883, to December 31, 1886, Governor Pattison compelled the investment of $4,300,000 in United States bonds costing $5,305,837. These bonds would have earned by February 1, 1892, when the first state bonds fall due, $1,238,745 in- terest. He also compelled the purchase 0f $1,901,500 state bonds, costing $2,236 ,- 624, saving in interest by February 1, 1892, $609,117, or a total saving of $1, 947,862 by February 1, 1892 when the first state bonds fall due. The total in- vestment by Governor Pattison in state and United States bonds was $7,542,- 479. In one year and eleven months Gov- ernor Beaver invested in no United States bonds and only $2,211, 308, thus in state bonds sav- ing for thestate by February 1¢ 1892, $460,629. But he sold United States bonds purchased by Governor Pattison in December 1887, and January, 1888, $1,000,000, thus losing for the state by February, 1892, $165,333 in interest. This loss when deducted from Beaver's gains, leaves a total net gain for Beaver for one year and eleven months of $295- 296. That Beaver could have done much better for the state had he not feared the treasury ring more than he loved the people, is clearly proved. When Governor Pattison’s term ex- pired there was cash in the sinking fund $958,923. By July 31, 1889, Gover- nor Beaver, by refusing to invest in United States bonds and in state bonds, to a limited extent, had increased the sinking fund money to $2,716,000. Had Governor Beaver compelled the in- vestment of this money in state bonds he would have saved for the people at least $320,000 more. But let the people re- member, this $2,716,000 is loaned to the ‘state treasury ring banks’ under the guise of a deposit, and by such banks loaned to the people at .07 and .08 per cent. interest, thus enabling such banks to make at least $700,000 out of the peo- ple’smoney. To recapitulate : Pattison invested.. Beaver invested. Pattison saved Beaver saved... nse This is thedifterence between Governor Pattison, who served the people for three years and five months, and Governor Beaver, who served the bosses for one year and eleven months. Edmund A. Bigler will serve the peo- ple as did Governor Pattison. Henry K. Boyer will serve the bosses as does Gov- ernor Beaver. Let the people vote for Bigler and serve themselves, or vote for Boyer and make money for the State treasury ring. H. J. Humes. ——————— A Bloody Feud Ended. Tolliver-Martin Marriage Bells in Kena tucky. Lexinaron, Ky., Oct. 19.—An event of national interest occurred this morn- ing at Pine Spring, in Rowan county, made notor'ous by the many wurders committed in the feud between the Mar- tins and Tollivers. The contracting par- ties were Grace Martin, the daughter of the king of that faction, and Frank Tol- liver, the brother of the Tolliver leader. The ceremony occurred at 8 o'clock, and all the members of the two factions were present. : Over two hundred persons were pre- sent, and the greatest cordiality pre- vailed. Men who had shot at each oth- er from behind trees and in the open ground shcok hands with each other for the first time in life, and mountain wom- en talked with neighbors whom from ba- byhood they had shunned as they would a snake. “Mountain Dew’ was abund- ant, but not a cross word was spoken. The couple were married by Squire An- drews. The bride is a pretty giil of 22, and the groom is but a year older. The wedding dinner was a sight. Whole roast hogs and calves, cakes that would be strangers at Delmonico’s, fruit and ‘spreads’ made the table groan. At the conclusion of the day each side swore by the newly married couple to forever live in peace hereafter, and thus ends a feud that cost half a hundred lives, resulted in enormous costs, and kept the State uneasy for years, The famous Rowan county war be- tween the Tollivers and Martins began actively in 1880, by the killing of a Tol- liver by a Martin in an election quarrel. Martin was arrested and taken to Mount Sterling, where a bogus order was pre- sented for his removal to the Moorhead Jail. He was put on a C. and O. train, and when Farmer's Station was reached he was taken off and deliberately shot by a band of Tollivers, : : At the next election the Martins car- ried the day, and the Martin faction un- dertook to clean out the Tollivers, fought a pitched battle with them and were victorious. Later on the fortunes were reversed and the Tollivers reigned. A few years ago Craig Tolliver was elected Police Judge of Moorhead, and after that had complete mastery of the town. There were many indictments against Tolliver for various erimes, vet so terrified were the people that they al- lowed Tolliver to hold office and exer- cise the rights of that office. After the election of Tolliver to the office of P.lice Judge three citizens were comp-lled to flee from Moorhead. Their lives, their fortunes, their homes, sons, daughters, and wives were in danger. In the elec- tion Tolliver received only 20 votes, but was elected. People who were against him were afrmd to go to the polls. Immediately after taking possession of his office he issued warrants for the ar- rest of William Logan and his brother 205.296 205,296 John, aged 18, charged with Ku-Klux- ing. Warrants were placed in the hands of Marshal Muannin to serve. Mannin and Tolliver and a posse went tothe Lo- gan house. Mannin forced his way in- to the house and up-stairs. Immediate- ly the Logan boys opened fire, killing him instantly. But as soon as the two boys made their appearance the posse opened fire upon them. When the smoke cleared away the Logan boys lay dead. The two men who formed the posse returned to Moorhead and gave themselves up, but were never pun‘shed. A dozen other battles followed, until at last the Logans and Martins combined and either killed or drove off all the old- er Tollivers. Since then the killings have been iso- lated, though frequent. The present re- formation is largely due to a big revival held in the town of Moorhead last year, led bya Methodist evangelist named Catem. i Craig Tolliver, the chief of the Tolli- ver faction, was killed last year in one of the notorious encounters which grew out of the Rowan county feud. He fought desperately, but was finally cor- nered and died in his boots after having shot down several of his pursuers. Since his death there has been a lull in the factional warfare which has distract- the county for so many years. He was a man of desperate courage and un- bounded self-control and nerve. Dur- ing his career he issaid to have killed ten men. Treasury Reform. Why Reform in the State Treasury is Needed, and why the Election of Edmund A. Bigler Will Pro- mote it. 1. Because under Republican rule taxation has largely exceeded the needs of the State, and vast sums of money have improvidently gathered into the Treasury vaults. 2 Because Republican officials have failed to use or invest these moneys as the law directs, and the Stete has lost a large sum, amounting to nearly one quarter of a millions dollars in two years. 3 Because at the command of a po- litical boss, these surplus funds of the State are deposited with favorite banks, corporaticns and firms, in sums ranging from ten thousand to six hundred thou- sand dollars, to be used for his private gain. 4. Because, in these transactions, the State has only one-half million dollars security for more than two and one-half million dollars thus deposited. 5. Because, with more than one mil- lion and a half of uninvested surplus in the Sinking Fund and no loans due or reimbursable, the Republican Sinking Fund Commissioners (of whom a Re- publican State Treasurer was one) sold a million of United States bonds that were earning t four per cent. interest for the State, and added the proceeds to the already swollen Treasury. 6. Because, not counting the proceeds i of these Government bonds, which were sold at less than market rate, and after these Republican officials had purchased eight hundred and two thousand dollars worth (par) of undue State loans at a price above the then market rate, there remained in the Treasury over a million dollars in CASI. 7. Because the Republican majority in the Legislature refused to stop this flow into the Sinking Fund when it was shown to be enormously greater than the requirements of said fund. 8. Because the Sinking Fund Com- missioners, to-wit: C. W. Stone, Secre- tary of State ; Thomas McCamant, Au- ditor General, and W. B. Hart, State Treasurer, are all Republicans ; and it would be for the best interests of all the people that the taxpayers, half a million at least in number, who have named Edmund A. Bigler for State Treasurer, should be represented, (in obedience to the well established principle of MI- NORITY REPRESENTATION,) in the management of the moneys belong- ing toall the people. 9. Because the safe-keeping of the public moneys raised by general taxa- tion upon the property of the citizens of all political beliefs, is a matter not of private but of public concern, and should not be connected with partisan politics, and much less be made the personal and private affair of a factional Boss; and the election of Mr. Bigler would be a wise step in the direction of a much needed reform, to-wit: NON-PARTI- SAN management of the State Treas- ury. —————————— Laboring People After Boyer With a Sharp Stick.

Southern Republicans Say the “Neg Must Go.” pro At Houston, Texas, there is a politi- cal organization, composed of white fe- publicans, which 1s doing its besy t, drive the negroes out of the Republican party. One of its leaders uses the {o]. lowing contemptuous language in refer- ring to the colored “man and orother,” who they say they desire to get rid of entirely. Ifafter reading this any of our colored friends vote the Republican ticket any longer they will deserve gj] the abuse they get. He says: “Our club was organized but a year ago and it is now numbers 185 members in this city. Our platiorm and princi- ples are not in accord with those of the Republican party in the North and the East, where they know nothing about our race troubles. They want us to swallow the negro, but we won't. The negro has served his purposes long enough. He has begn a great bugnboo in the politics of the South and all this cry about intimidation is bosh. “The negro is as free to vote as you or I are, but he is not reliable. His vote is forsale, and he votes with the Demo- crats as often as he does with the Repub. licans. He should be disfranchised. No sane white man will claim the negro as his equal, no matter what party he may affihate with. “Just point to a single thing of any benefit to mankind which the negro has accomplished. Has he invented the most trifling tool ? No, sir; in his best state he is but a semi-civilized barbarian, and we have organized this white men's protective party for the purpose of driv- ing the colored race out of the Republi- can party. Our club and the one in Al- abama form the nucleus of this new po- litical party, which before another decude will sweep the South like a whirlwind. “You see, when we drive the negro from the Republican ranks he will join the Democratic hosts, and then the best men of the Democratic party will come overto us. With this new era of manu- facturing going on in the South and the influx of Northern capital we will build up a white man’s party on a protection to American industry platform and inside of ten years we will see a Repub- iican South. All the abuse we receive from the Republican press of the North not only makes us more determined, but aids us in securing our desired aims.” st ———————————— Ballot Reform an Issue. Philadelphia Record. There is no Legislature to be elected thisycar in Pennsylvania and as Ballot Reforu is only attainable through leg- islative action the issue will not be sparp- ly presented for decision ut the polls next month. Nevertheless, Ballot Re- form is an issue. The Republican Leg- islature of Pennsylvania, as at present constituted, has refused to give it a trial. The Republican candidate for State Treasurer is on the record as voting against it. On the cther hand, the La- bor organizations of the State are heart- ily in favor of the Australian system of voting. The Prohibitionists and the Democrats have indorsed it in their platform. The Democratic candidate for State Treasurer is as strongly for Ballot Reform as his opponent is against it. Thus it is apparent that, while the State Treasurer who may be elected could officially neither greatly hinder nor advance any proposed change in our Election laws, the result of the contest in November will have a strong bearing tor or against it. The action of the Convention of the Democratic Society in adopting a resol- ution favoring Ballot Reform gives further accent to the issue, and shows that the Democratic State Convention fairly represented the desire of the party. The smooth and satisfactory operations of the experiment in recent trials in Mon- tana and Connecticut have converted doubters into believers in its merit and fastened attention upon it. A vote for the Democratic State ticket in Novem- ber, while involving no important party result, would be a very convenient means of giving a preliminary lift to a reform which would do wonders in be- half of better government in Pennsyl- vania, The Montana Outrage. ‘Lhe Republican attempt to steal Montana takes on an aspect of almost unparalleled audacity in the light of the latest revelations. For instance, all the judges and clerks at the election precinct which the Silver Bow Canvassing Board threw out were Republicans. The affidavits on which this high handed action was based were chiefly those of a Henry Bernard who was once sentenced to eight years im- prisonment for murder and served about half that time. One W. F. Sanders, who wants to go to the United States Senate, set up the scheme. He was a Northern Pacific Attorney and had bought enough nom- inations of Republicans to have made his success sure had they been elected. Victory going the other way he conclud- ed to try by open and flagrant fraud what could not be accomplished by votes at the polls. It is now stated that the judge before whom the case of the defrauded Demo- cratic candidates and voters will come and who is a Democrat,is to be removed by President Harrison before the day of hearing (Nov. 17th) “and a man put in his stead who will remember his duty to his party.” Not all the Republicans of the new state endorse these outrages.” Judge Blake, of the Supreme Court, Mayor Fuller,of Helena, and Congressman elect Carter, all of whom are Republicans,con- demn it. ‘Whether their view will be heeded remains to be seen. Generally, in such transactions—of which there [ have been scores since the war—the voice of conscience-begotten protest has been effectually drowned in the hue and ery of the heelers for the spoils. rt ———— The American Wool Reporter surely doesn’t grind out a protection tune when it says: **We have the high- est authority for stating it as the grow- ing opinion of many of the largest cloth manufacturers of Philadelphia, as well as of New Kngland, that they would rather have four years of free wool with the risk of free goods at thie end of that time than to have another fonr years such as they have passed through since 1884." mn grat
