Republican party of Pennsylvania for having ! fostered, encouraged, protected and continued a reckless system of official speculation with public moneys, whereby State and city treas- urers have enriched themselves, corrupted the public morals and robbed the tax payers. The practice of using public fands for private gain or political advantage is to be con demued, and should be completely and thoroughly eradi- cated. : Fifteenth—We arraign and condemn the Re publican State Convention recently assembled for its condonation and defense of faithless Republican State officials, guilty of these dere: lictions, some of whom sat inits councils, in. fluenced its actions and dictated and controll. ed its utterances. Sixteenth—We pledge the candidates this day nominated to make such investigations and give such information to the Law Depa rt- ment of the Commonwealth as will aid in bringing to punishment those guitly of mal- feasance in office, and we pledge our support to the Siate administration in all its efforts to accomplish these ends. Saventeenth—We dencunce the corrupt and shameless domination of Senator Matthew S. Quay in the polities of the State, and arraign and condemn the Republican party for its ser- vile acquiescence in the leadership of a man who has utterly failed to defend hims if from grave charges against his official conduct and political record. Sighteenth—We heartily endorse the wise, statesmanlike and patriotic administration of Governor Pattison; we applaud and approve his fearless vetoes of partisan, vicious , and ill considered legislation, his recommendation of salutary laws, his rigorous investigation and wholesale correction of public abuses, and his determination to enforce the Constitution punish offenders and secure public reform. Nineteenth—We sympathize with the just demands of workingmen for all such legisla- tion as will protect their interests, and for such speedy amendment of the constitution as will secure to them a free and secret ballot. Twentieth—We oppose the repeal of mer- cantile taxes, and insist that they shall be fully and equitably laid, honestly collected, and that the money arising from them shall be paid into the State Treasury and not stolen by its agents. We favor the repeal of such pro- visions of law as rzquire advertisement of these taxes and the incurring of cost of col- lection where there can be no recovery. We favor the abolition of mercantile appraises and the substitution of some celtain, economical and expeditious method of assessing and col- lecting these taxes. Twenty-first—We approve all legislation look ing to an honest regis try of votes, to the end that every qualified voter may be secured the exercise of his franchise, and that the lists may be purged of all names not rightly thereon. Twenty-second—We believe that the right of a free, honest and secret ballot is the rig ht preservative of all political rights. We ap- prove in the largest measure of ballot reform and believe the whole advantages of the Aus- tralian ball~t system should be secured to the electors of Pennsylvania. The ballot bill en- acted by the last General Assembly was a step in the right direction, but it needs to be sup- plemented by measures to protect the secrecy of the ballot and to secure reform in registra- tion. To this end, and for these purposes we favor the assembling of a constitutional convention. er —————— Tribute of Respect.

Ishler, High Sheriff of Centre county, do make publication of the following writ of Foreign Attachment to me directed to wit .— CENTRE COUNTY, S S : The Commonwealth of Penn- [Sear] sylvania to the Sheriff of said county, Greeting: We com- mand you that you attach William H. Ross, late of your county, by all singular goods and chattles, rights and credits, in. whose hands or possession soever the same may be, so that he be and appear before our Court of Common Pleasto to holden at Bellefonte, in and for said county, on the 4th Monday Augustnext, there to answer Charles H. Kelley, use of First National Bank of Wilkesbarre, Pa. ofa plea of Foreign Attachmant in Assumpsit. And we do further command you, the said Sheriff, by honest and lawful men of your Bailiwick to make known to William H. Ross (ana Bail in the sum of $4000.00 required) and in whose hands and possession may be late of your county yeoman, so that he may be and appear before the Judges of our said Court to be hold- en at Bellefonte, on the said 4th Monday of August next, to show if anything he know or have to say why a certain Judgment obtained by Charles H. Kelley nowto the use of the First National Bank of Wilkesbarre Pa. against the said William H. Ross, in our said Court, in the sum of $4000.00 bail required beside the cost of suit, should not be levied, of the effects of the said William H. Ross, inthe hands of said and to answer what shall be objected to against him and abide the judgment of the gaid Court therein. Witness the Honorable A. O. Furst, Judge of said Courts, at Bellefonte, 7th day of August, A. D., 1891. L. A. SHAFFER, 36 33-66 Prothonotary. McCalmont & Co. ERTILIZERS.=—=- We announce to our farmer friends in Central Pennsylvania, that we have ar- ranged for a supply of four different grades of farm fertilizers, which we offer for sale with the full assurance that we are furnishing full market value for the money we receive for the same. CHAMPION $25.00 AMMONIATED SUPER-PHOSPHATE. Our Champion $25.00 Ammoniated Super-Phosphate bas been thoroughly tested by farmers, and we are informed by many of them that it has given en- tire satisfaction. It isa complete fertil- izer. We have assurance from those who use it that they received an honest return in the crop for the money invest- ed. Owing to the delay in advising us how much was wanted by each farmer, we could not supply all the demand last year. To avoid disappointment this year we request farmers to place their orders with us before August 15th, 1891. DISSOLVED SOUTH CAROLINA ROCK. We have purchased two grades of Dissolved South Carolina Rock; one grade contains a minimum of 13 per cen.tand the other a minimum of 14 per cent. available Phosphoric Acid, the analysis of which we guarantee. The value of Dissolved South Carolina Rock consists in the amount of available Phosphoric Acid it contains. We are prepared to furnish the most value in- vested in this class of fertilizers, When the goods shall bave been re- ceived, we invite a test analysis to be made of any sample or from the goods purchased by any farmer by the Chem- ist of the State Board of Agriculture, who is Dr. Frear, of the Pennsylvania State College. There is dissolved South Carolina Rock of various grades and called by different names, such as Acid Phosphate, being placed on the market, which is adulterated and only contains 11 per cent. available Phosphoric Acid, the value of which is at least four dol- lars per ton less than the fertilizer we sell, which contains a minimum of 14 per cent. available Phosphoric Acid. We invite a critical examination and a. thorough comparative analysis of the Dissolved South Carolina Rock we sell. ‘We assure our farmer friends that we do not offer to sell them shoddy goods— our greatest ambition being to furnish the largest value for the least money. AMMONIATED DISSOLVED. . BONE. We sell Lister's goods, which are a complete Animal Bone Ammoniated Super Phosphate. BUFFALO HONEST FARTIL- IZERS. The Buffalo, which has been the leading fertilizer of Centre county for at least twelve years, still maintains its reputation of furnishing an honest re- turn for the money invested. 1t is strictly what is claimed for it,*“An Hon- est Fertilizer.” Many of the leading farmers of Centre county, among whom we refer to Major Wm. F. Reynolds, of Bellefonte, Hezekiah K. Hoy, of Ben- ner township; and John H, Musser, of Aaronsburg, pronounce it the most pro- fitable fertilizer they have used, because it not only stimulates a prolific growth aswell as a large yield of wheat, but the grass shows the effects of its strength for several years. DEMAND FOR FERTILIZERS. From present indications the demand for fertilizers will be very large this year, which makes it necessary for farmers to place their orders early to make sure of their supply. Wesell these fertilizers by the bag, ton or car load at popular prices. ‘"McCALMONT & CO. 36 29 6t. Bellefonte, Pa.
