A Candidate Who Specially Deserves
Democratic Support.
W. Garter Morrisoy has borne
himself nobly in this campaign. The
county convention having shown its
appreciation of his merit by giving the
party a chance to repair the wrong that
was done a worthy man and good
Democrat three years ago, he entered
the contest with a determination to do
his full duty and to omit no proper ex-
ertion to secure the office for which his
party nominated him.
He has worked maafully. Crippled
though he be, he has done his full
share in securing the success of the
ticket and an honorable election for
himself. He has not been an idler in
the contest, and his opponents must ad-
mit that his exertions have been as
honorable as they have been untiring.
His situation must excite sympathy
as well as admiration. His oppoueny
has superior advantages both physically
and in point of means, but there 18
where his superiority stops. In point
of fitness he is scarcely Mr. MORRISON'S
equal. He has bad the advantage of
a profitable term, given him by Demo-
cratic votes. It is too much for him
to ask Democrats to continue such a
favor at the expense of a Democrat
who has twice received the nomination
of his party, and certainly deserves an
election on the second nomination in
recognition of his unfaltering support
of Democratic principles and Demo-
cratic candidates ever since he was
able, in his crippled condition, to walk
to the polls.
W GareEr Morrison has made ano:
ble contest,and every generous and big-
hearted Democrat will say that he de-
serves success, and will vote in a way
that will secure it for him.
FiepLer tries to make a point
against Treasurer candidate GrayrLey
by saying that he is not intelligent
enough for the office of Treasurer.
There 18 a joke connected with this
charge. The editor of the Gazette went
to school four yearsto Mr. (raMLEY
and in saying that the latter is not in-
telligent FiepLer slurs his own educa-
tion. The fact is, that most of what he
knows he obtained when a boy going to
school to Mr. GramLEY, who, however,
didn’t teach him the slippery tricks for
which he has since become noted.
McCormick and the Farmer and La-
bor Interests.
Farmers, mechanics and laboring
men, be careful of your interest when
you asgist in electing the law making
power next Tuesday. You have the
full assurance that Parrison is your
friend, for he gave evidence of it in his
former administration. You can have
confidence in the Democratic candidate
for the State Senate, forin former offi-
cial positions he stood by your inter-
ests. J. H. Horr, who is one of the
Democratic nominees for the Legisla-
ture, served you faithfully in the last
session and you can have confidence
that he will do so again. In regard to
these three Democratic candidates their
acts have proved their fidelity to you.
Is thereany reason why your confi-
dence should not be fully given to Jory
T. McCormick, the other Democratic
nominee for the Legislature? As a
farmer and a man used to hard work
all his life, sooer, industrious and care-
ful, his feelings, aspirations and iuter-
ests are inline with yours. To say
that he would not be faithful to the 1n-
terests of the farmers, mechanics and
laboring men would be to say that he
would not be faithful to himself, He
has felt the oppression that has been
imposed upon the farmers by unequal
taxation. Will he not naturally want
to remove that unjust imposition from
which he has himself suffered in com-
mon with other farmers? He is hiw-
self a lavoring man. Will he not nat.
labor? He is directly and personally
interested in all that the farmer, the
mechanic and laboring man are inter-
ested in. Therefore they can give hin
their tullest confidence in a legislative
position.
In these respects he contrasts favor-
ably with his Republican opponents.
There is nothing in Guyer MATTERN'S
past career or business relations that
could pat him in sympathy with labor,
or inspire him to devote himself to its
cause. Ie is rather of a character
that would lead him to do the bidding
of his party bosses who have always
been against the farmer, the mechanic
and the laboring man. Fryemreer's
sympathies are of a like character.
His feelings are not with those who
maketheir living on highly-taxed farms,
or by their daily labor. The party
bosses who favor legislation for the
corporations and the money interests
could count on him every time.
Make a sure thing of it, farmer and
labor voters, by casting vour ballots
for McCormick and How.
——No Democrat should be absent
from the polls on the day of the elec-
tion, He should not only be there ear-
ly, but he should stay and see that
every Democratic voteis polled. He
should constitute himself a committee
of one to discountenance trading and
prevent the polling of illegal votes. It
will be a great day for the true Demo-
cral to make himself useful.

Every One of Them Worthy.
Thereis nota man on the Democratic
county ticket that is not worthy of the
support of every Democrat in the coun-
ty. The material of which that ticket
is composed is more than usually good,
there not being a man on jt against
whose morality, sobriety, integrity and
competency anything can be truthfully
charged. Their neighbors know them
to be reputable and worthy men, and
are ready to testify to their good char-
acters. Their general reputation
throughout the county is good. Yet
they have been personally assailed by
organs which in opposing such men
have no other resource than baseless
vilification,
But the Democrats know the char-
acter of such political attacks. They
have become acquainted with the abu-
sive virulence of Fiedlerism, and know
that the good name of no political op-
ponent, however worthy a man he may
be, can escape the mud that is habitu-
ally and systematically flung from the
columns of his paper.
The only effect of such political
tactics is to confirm the Democrats of
the county in the conviction that the
nominees on their ticket are good men
and worthy of their support. Fiep Ler
never slings his mud at bad men. He
likes to bespatter something that is
clean. Like Death, he prefers “a
shining mark.” There could be no
better evidence that the men on the
Democratic county “ticket are worthy,
and ae such should have every Demo-
cratic vote.

——Governor ParrisoN.. will this
week finish one of the ‘most remarka-
ble campaigns that was ever made by
any candidate in this or any other
State: ' It was commenced on the 29th
of September, and from that time he
has been constantly on the road, Sun-
days excepted, traveling about 4000
miles and making from half a doz-
en to ten speeches a day. He has visit-
ed nearly every countv in theState. The
Delamater tour has been but a weak
imitation. of Parrisox’s grand cam-
paign. The Democratic candidate has
stood this great strain admirably, com-
ing out of it in fine condition, while his
opponents, from the head of the ticket
dowa,.broke down and had to be laid
up for repairs. This difference is ‘due
to Gov. ParrisoN's good habits. His
excellent physical and mental powers
have not been impaired by liquor or
‘other abuses.
The Williamsport Gazette and
Bulletin, referring to the disclosure of
crooked ‘work in ‘the Clinton county
commissioners’ office in the matter of
bridge building,says that “the manage-
ment of affairs ‘up there seems to be
too unhealthy to longer continue in
the hands of the Democrats.” The
unhealthiness alluded to includes one
Democratic and one Republican com-
missioner. There is only one Re-
publican in the Board. It there
had been two it is likely that both
would have been in the bridge swin-
dle. In Centre county there is a sus
picious appearance of the Republican
Board being involved in similar crook-
edness.

{shler’s Decent Campaign.
Mr. IsaLErR bas carried himself in
this campaign in a manner that enti-
tles him to the respect of all good citi-
zens and decent voters. He has
proved himself to be a respectable
man, capable of conducting a clean
canvass. There have been no whis-
ky orgies connected with his election-
eering, but he has gone on his merits,
asking for the support of his fellow
citizens on account of his good charae-
ter and his ability to perform the du-
ties of the office. He has led an or-
derly, industrious and useful life from
the time he served his country as a
drummer boy to the present period,
he being most ot that time employed
as a farmer, an honorable calling that
usually produces honest and reliable
characters.
Upon such a record he can confi-
dently ask the votes of his fellow citi-
zens. He is no boodler. A resort to
such means is unnecessary in his case.
It is foreign to his nature and his call-
ing. He is a farmer and boodle is not
an agricultural production. Tt is
against his principles to resort to the
debauchery of liquor to secure his
election. He is a sober man himself,
and consequently is averse to a whisky
campaign. The people have bad an
example of demoralization in the Sher-
ifs office. They have had enough of
it during the past three years. It is
natural that they should now want
that office filled by a sober, steady and
reputable man—an hoaest farmer who
is fully competent to perform its duties.

Act As If Every Vote Was Needed.
Although the success of the coun-
ty ticket is not a question of one
vote, yet the Democrats of the county
should act on the day of the election as
if it was necessary that every Demo-
cratic ballot should be cast. Overcon-
fidence should not be caused by the
prospect of victory. It should be the
determination of the Democrats to
give all a full vote. All are deserving
of an equal support, and to secure such
equality make it a duty to cast a
full and undividedvote. Act as if
every vote was needed.
Watch the County Boodlers.
Keep your eyes on the boodlers. The
Republican county committee have
plenty of the vicious stuff and are using
it freely. As they entertain but little
hope of electing DeLaMaTER this boodle
will be utilized in the attempt to elect
their county ticket. They regard it of
great importance to have the Sheriff,as
that office affords revenue to the organs
and exerts the largest influence in the
interest of the ring. managers.. Hence
the boodlers have concentrated their ef:
forts on their candidate for Sheriff. The
amount of liquor that is being used in |
his behalf could come from no other
source. There is too much of it afloat
to be paid for out of the private funds
of either WoLr. or Cooke, although
they evidently stand their share ‘of the
expense.
As CameroN has contributed largely
to the State corruption fund with the
object of being re-elected to the U.S,
Senate, boodle is being expended to se-
‘cure the election of the two Republican
assembly candidates in this county;
but as the farmers and workingmen of
the county know that FRYBERGER and |
“Cameron and the servants of the cor:
poration bosses, the expenditure of
boodle in their behalf will be of no
‘avail.
The offices in Centre county are not
for sale, but still it is the part of pru-
dence to keep your eyes on the bood-
Tap Sugar .
They Will Slaughter Everybody for the
Benefit of Wolf.
The Republican ring managers are
ready to trade off everything for sheriff.
Fully convinced that there is no possi-
bility of electing their State ticket, they
offer to sacrifice DELAMATER to secure
votes for Work. They want to save
something from the general wreck, and
therefore concentrate their efforts upon
their sheriff candidate. ' The balance of
their ticket will be slaughtered in the -
same interest. They think there 1s
more in the sheriff's office for them
than in any other, and hence their de-
termination to slaughter everybody
i
else for the “benefit of Worr. But
Democrats can stop this game by refus-
ing anything like a trade.
——Examine your tickets! See that
the name of each Democratic candi-
date is on them.
The Button Dodge.
The tariff politicians appear to ex-
pect a great deal from pearl bations.
The duty on these articles of general |
use was amply high to afford legitimate
protection to the manufacturers, but
the new tariff increased it about two
hundred per cent. Itis just that much |
extra margin given for extortion upon
consumers. In consequence the mono-
poly organs have broken out in praise
of this measure of protection toan in-
fant industry, and picture in glowing
terms the jubilation that has been ex-
cited by it among the button makers.
The Philadelphia Press even resorts
to a pictorial representation of a lot of
button makers dancing in a ring and
kicking up their heels over this gov-
ernment bonus to the button trade. It
is said that the proprietors of a button
tactory in Jersey have raised the wages
of their employees 15 per cent because
of the increased duty, and it is on this
account that the organs are making all
this clatter and display of pictures.
But when a fostering government
has kindly given the manufacturers an
increase of 200 per cent in protection,
enabling them to make a proportonate
advance in the price of buttons, isn’t
an advance of but 15 per cent in wages
rather a shabby concession to the right
which labor should have to a share of
this great favor ? The price of buttons
will be doubled—it has already made
an advance—every tailor, seamstress
and sewing-woman in the land will be
compelled to increase their tribute to
the protected button manufacturers,
while the employees in one or two fac-
tories have been given a small increase
of wages with no other object than to
enable the organs to make political
capital ont of it before the election.
After this has served its election pur-
pose the wag:s will be reduced, but the
increased cost of buttons, brought
about by the exorbitantly increased
duty, affecting the many thousaads o f
consumers, will continue, making mil-
lionaires of a few protected button
monopolists. :
EE ATR A.
There should be no trading of
Democratic votes: Such huckstering
of the franchise is resorted to only in a
desperate cause. Instead of being des-
perate the Democratic cause, both in
State and county, never was brighter.
The enemy will offer to trade. They
are willing to trade off most of their
tickét to save the balance. Reject
every offer of a dicker in a matter of
such importance as the ballot.
ES ——
The Shameless and Ungrounded Charg-
es Against Mr. Adams,
The Gazette resorts to shameless per-
version of the truth to injure the char-
acter of T. Frank Adams, one of the
democratic candidates for commissioner.
That paper of Oct. 17th appeared
with a communication purporti ng to
have been written by Wm. M, Adams,
accusing his brother Frank with dishon-
esty insettling the estate of Frances M.
Atherton, decd., also charging him with
cruelty to his parents, and an attempt to
set his store on five. As soon as this let-
ter appeared the other members of the
family, with one exception, came for-
ward voluntarily to refute the charges.
The father and mother and three of the
brothers prepared Jetters and affidavits
denying these charges. The statements
of the father and mother, the affidavit
of the father and two brothers, and a
denial from Frank himself, were taken
to the Gazette office and handedto Mr.
Bailey, with the request to have all
three published in the next issue. Mr.
Bailey at once said that if he had con-
trol of the paper he would do so cheer-
fully, and that it was right that they
should publish these denials; but that
he would hand them to Mr. Feidler, the
editor, and he would let Mr, Adams or
his counsel know that evening, or next
morning, what he would do. Nexg
morning Mr. Bailey called and informed
Mr. Adams’ counsel that they would
publish the letters and the affidavits,
and that it was all right. Instead of
doing what they said they would do,they
refused to publish the letters and state-
| merts, and published the affidavit only,
with an additional affidavit made by
Wm. and C. C. Adams which is utter-
ly false and is successfully contradicted
by the racords of the Orphans Court, to
which we will refer at length.
The charges contained in the first let-
ter are unfounded, and the prompt de-
nial by the family left the Gazette peo-
ple without anything to stand upon.
But in order to justify themselvesand still
keep upa pretence of: seriousness, they
resort to the meanest and lowest type of
falsehood . and deceit by garbling and
falsifying the records of the eourt.
They quote shreds of testimony which,as
they garble it would indicate that Frank
Adams had agreed not to charge any
commission for his services in settling
| the estate, and that he had fraudulently
procured the discharge of Mr. Brachbill,
The evidence as a whole proves exactly
the reverse, and shows that Frauk never
had anything to do with the discharge
| bled for the occasion.
to sign any release, as is alleged, and of
course never agreed to give up his com-
pensation to which he is honestly enti-
tled. There is also an attempt made to
show that Frank still has about $2,500
of the fund of the estate in his hands for
which he has failed to account. The
fizures they present are false and gar
The records do
not show anything of the kind ; but do
show that all the assets of the estate
have been accounted for except $559.56,
which amount is retained until a final
distribution is made. The following
statement taken from the record fully
establishes what we allege, and what is
the truth : ]

T. Frank Adams, surviving Exe-
cator of Frances M. Atherton,
dec’d., as per inventory, filed in

deducted, because the records
show that they have been prop-
erly accounted for and proper

viz

This statement was taken from the re-
cords by a person who is entirely famil-
iar with the records of the orphans’ court
and we know it is correct. This dispos-
es of this entire charge, becausa no pra-
dent man, acting as an executor, would
pay out all the moneys of the estate un-
til a final settlement, and particularly in
an estate involved in litigation like this
one has been and is still. The princi-
pal assets, as shown by the inventory,
consisted of mortgages against real es-
tate. In nearly every case they had to
be collected by legal process, that of
Thomas Taylor b-ing still unsettled.
This is the cause of the delay and not
the Executor’s fault at all, He could
not help it that these people could not
pay at once, nor was it his fault that
legal proceedings were necessary and
the settlement of the estate thus delayed.
The story that Frank Adams had
procured the release of Mr. John Brach-
bill as one of the Executors by promis-
ing to give up his compensation, is all
a myth, and is flatly contradicted by the
record. Col. Keller, Mr. Brachbill’s
counsel, presented a petition on behalf
of Mr. Brachbill asking for his dis-
charge on the ground of ill health. A
citation was awarded by the court, and
issued. On this citation we find an ac-
ceptance of service endorsed in Col.
Keller's handwriting, and signed by all
the parties in interest .The acceptance
of service wassigned to save costs of
service, and to favor Mr. Brachbill,
who bad asked to be discharged, and
not forthe accommodation of Frank
Adams, or at his request. He had noth-
ing whatever to do with the proceed-
ings,
We happen to know that the parties
who induced these two young men to
make the affidavits that ‘appeared in last
week’s Gazette, knew that what was
contained in that affidavit was entirely
without foundation in fact, and know-
ing this, they are guilty of subornation
of perjury, and morally more guilty of
wrong than the partiss who made oath
to these falsehoods. In examining the
testimony taken in the proceedings to
compel. Frank Adams to give bail, or
be discharged on, the ground that be
was wasting the estate, his prosecutors
called as witnesses J. C. P. Jones, Jno.
M. Wagner and N. Bierly, Esq., three
of Mr. Adams’ neighbors, and all
staunch Republicans. ‘These men all
testified that Frank was an honest,
careful and prudent man. When this
proceeding came before the court it was
dismissed, without Frank Adams being
called upon to produce any testimony
at all.
On the oneside we have the Gazette
gang trying to blacken a man’s charac-
ter by inducing two irresponsible young
men to make statements which they
know are not true, and by garbling and
misrepresenting the records of the court.
T. Frank Adams is sustained in his
good character by his father, mother
and three brothers under oath ; by the
records of the court, which show that
he has acted honestly in the settlement
of this estate ; by the sworn testimony
of J. C. P." Jones, John M. Wagner and
N. Bierly, Esq., taken before these
charges were made. This shows that he
is an honest, careful and prudent man,
and adecree of the Orphans’ court of
Centre county refusing to compel him
to give security as executor, shows that
he can be safely trusted. After a set of
men resort to the devilish means that
have been resorted to, to blacken this
man’s character for the purpose of elect-
ing a tool of the'‘Hastings-Feidler ring,”
will fair-minded people believe one
word these men say,and especially when
every allegation has been contradicted
by the records of the court and the
sworn statements of men of character
and reputation ?
Mr. T. Frank Adams is a sober, in-
dustrious and respected citizen, and his
neighbors say when called as witness es
in a proceeding against him, that he is
of Mr. Brachbill ; never fad the hei}
an honest, careful and prudent man.

Testimonies in Favor of James J.
Gramley,
Epiror oF THE WATCHMAN :
We will correct the false statement
about Mr. Gramley’s being dishonest,
which wesaw in the Gazette lust ‘week.
He is as honest as any man in Centre
county. We know what we say, for he
was a neighbor before he moved'to Re-
bersburg, and a better neighbor we
would not want. He helped tke poor,
and if any one was sick he wert for the
Doctor, and we have seen him let his
work lay in the midst of harvest and
hiteb up his spring wagon and take poor
people to a funeral when they could get
no one else to do it, not only once but
dozens of times. He even went so far as
to make a snow plow, and opened the
roads for the children to go to school,
and if any of the poor people had any-
thing to take to mill he would take it
for them. Now, if this does not indicate
an honest as well as a kind hearted man
we would like to know what does ? We
can get lots of proofthat he never charg-
ed a cent for his trouble. | Go to Walker
township and you can find out that
what we say is‘true. Although stiff Re-
publicans we can’t go back on Gramiey.
He is too good and honest a man to go
back on. J. N. HorrMaAN, Rep.

Courry.
Whereas Mr. James J. Gramley, for
fifteen years a resident of this, Walker
Township, is a candidate for the office of
county Treasurer, and the report has
been circulated throughout the county
that he would not receive the support of
this township, the undersigned, Demo-
crats of said Township, would hereby
brand said repost as a malicious false
hood, and assure the Democrats of the
county that he will receive our hearty
support for said office and the support of
the other Deniocrats of the township.
Mr. Gramley bas filled various offices in
this township with honor to himself,
and we can cheerfully endorse him as
being honest, prudent and capable, and
his nomination will add strength to the
ticket. The party should and must
recognize its workers, and cannot afford
to pass by the men who have fought its
battles and borne the burntfof the fight,
to give the office to its’ drones. Mr.
Gramley has never hesitated to give both
time and money to the support of the
ticket, and now when he comes before
you as acandidate, we ask you to rec-
ognize his claim, feeling assured that the
party will never regret its action.
