In Politics to Stay.
i MERLE.
1t 1s not to be wondered at that the
Republican press all over the country
should raise such a howl against hav
ing the condition and situation of the
employers and employees at Homestead
held up as an example of the way pro:
tection protects, and that they should
protest so vehemently against making
any reference to politics in treating of
this case. If we were in their gitua-
tion or had promised as much for the
workingmen, in return for their votes
for protection, as these journals did—
we would probably do as they are do-
ing, or———keep quiet.
There is no question that any politi-
cal reference to Homestead is a pain-
ful probe into the rotten pretenses of
the Republican press, that protection
protects the laborer as well as the em-
ployer. Homestead has given a Kin®
tergarten exemplification of the false
ness of this plea. It hae knocked the
“workingman's tariff’ into emithereens,
and it has left the advocates of a pro-
tective system without an idea of what
to say in its defence or what course to
puraue to get the people again to sus’
tain it under the presumption that it is
to benefit the many. CARNEGIE in his
Scottish castle, aud PINK BERTON, with
his protecting thugs, are two pictures
that will not down when the poor man
is hereafter appealed to to vote for Har-
RISON and “protection,” on the ground
that protection is a good thing for the
poor mean of the country. They are il’
lustrations ot how this doctrine works,
that will be effective in determining the
votes of thousands of honest working:
men, no matter how vociferously the
Republican press may cry out against
their use.
Homestead is in = politics. It is
there as an ink spotina summer
dress, to stay. Itis there ds an ever.
lasting remembrance of the deception
practiced upon the workingmen of the
country by the Republican party and
as a practical illustration of the fact
~ ‘that Republican tarifts mean millions
for CarnkciEs and Puiprs’, and FrIcKs
and low wages,or Pinkerton and death,
for their workingmen. :
It is there, Republican press, you can
neither get it out nor hide it a way.

eyery home in the county.
Have Short Memories.
Ten days ago when Mr. Curis. Ma-
GEE, the Republican boss of Allegheny
county, returned from a short visit to
President Harrison and was asked
what effect the trouble at Homestead
would have on the election, he replied;
“None at all. It is three months off and
the workingmen will have forgotten all
about the matter by that time.” And
possibly Mr. MaGee was right. Re-
publican workingmen have always
seemed to have exceedingly short mem-
ories. They could never recollect the
promises made by their party from one
election to another. They forget that
they have been lied to every cam-
paign since they began to vote; that
they have been deceived at every elec.
tion since they have cast a ballot.
When this paper was a baby in ‘the
| newspaper world, ‘workingmen were
voting for protection under the promise
that it would secure them steady em-
ployment and better wages. That was
over thirty-five years ago. Many of
them have been voting the same way
ever since, with the same promise held
out to them every year. And to-day
there is not one of them who can point
to a single instance in which better wa-
ges or steadier employment was se-
cured them through “protection.”
Here in Centre county there were
more homes earned andsaved by work-
ingmen about protected industries, un-
der the low tariffs of Democratic ad-
ministrations, prior to the advent of the
Republican party and its high tariffs,
than have been earned or saved since.
The workingman at our modern mills,
who, under the highest protection
these works have ever had, and is only
receiving enough of pay to keep body
and soul together, has proof of the
above statement, in the fact that nine
tenths of the homes now owned by iron
workers, or men who were once iron
workers in this county, were earned
and paid for under Democratic admin-
istrations and before the Republican
party was known. 5
Asit is in Centre county, so 18 it in
every section of the country baving
tariff protected industries.
It is a knowledge of the fact that
workingmen shut their eyes to or for-
get these truths, that induces Mr, Ma-
cee and other Republican leaders to
believe, that the lessons of the Home-
stead outrages—the graves of the Home-
stead victims—the condition of the
Homestead workingmen and the prov-
en results in these cases that the tarift
for which laboring men are asked to
vote is intended only to make million-
aires of the Carwkgims, Fricks and
Purpps!, of the country, will all be for-
gotten, and that they will walk up to
the polls and vote for Harrison and
protection just as they did four years
ago.
It may be that they will. But if Car-
NEGIE, in his castle in Scotland, and
PinkerTON and his protection at Home-
stead, don’t teach a lesson to laborers
that they will remember three months,
then there is no use in wasting ideas
words or sympathy upon them.
An Inconsistent Position.
The Gazette, through correspondents
and other ways, is trying to leave the
impression that its party is in favor of
a fence law, and we have nodoubt that
an attempt wili be made to run Repub.
lican candidates for the legislature on
this question this fall. When 1t is re-
membered that a Republican legislature
and a Republican senate repealed the
fence laws, we once had ; that a Repub-
lican governor signed that repeal and
that when the WarcEMAN protested
against such legislation, as disastrous
to the interests of the people, and op-
pressive and unfair to poor men, the
Gazette defended it, and sought to de-
ceive the public by asserting that it did
not effect Centre county or this section
of the State, the hollowness of its at.
tempt now to be considered the cham
pion of a fence law, is too palpable to de-
ceive anyone, If the people of Centre
county intend making an effort to se-
cure the passage of a law that will take
the place of the one blotted from the
statute books by Republicans; they are
not likely to select men from the party
that committed that wrong against,
them, 10 right it. If the Gazette wants
to be consistent, it will have to hunt up
some other issue than the/fence law, or
get over the political fence and ac-
knowledge that its party committed a
grievous wrong, in repealing the laws
we had on this subject.
—————————————
—When the people of the State hand
over their $22,000 per day as a contrib-
ution to keep a protected industry in
blast and enforce the lowest possible
wage rate upon the men required to
run it; they will haye a more enlight.
ened nnaerstanding of who receives 1he
benefits of protection.

Facts That Are Easily Found.
The Democratic Williamsport Sin wants to
know “what the tariff does for the working-
men?’ It will greatly relieve its ignorance if
it will make some inquiries among the Dem-
ocratic lambermen on the West Branch. They
will be able to tell our hysterical contempora-
ry why they are opposed to free lumber, and
that will be enough. It needn’t go away from
its own neighborhood for solid protection
facts.—Philadelphia Press.
Or if our down the river contemp. r:-
ry fails to get all the information itserk-
‘|'on the subject about Wiliiamsport, it
might come to Bellefonte and prosecute
its inquiries. It would discover a pro-
tected nail mill here that three years
ago gave employment to 300 men as
silent as the Howard street cemetery. It
would see a glass factory that prior to
Harrison's election gave work and
good wages to seventy-five people, with
furnaces and flattening ovens as cold as
the ice bergs of the North Pole; and by
going a half mile further up the Buffa-
the Bellefonte Furnace company, which
before the McKinuey bill went into
operation belched forth their flames
constantly giving work to 300 employ"
ees, fireless and without a sign of life.
These kind of “protection” facts it
would find in abundance, but they are
possibly not the kind the Press would
care to say much about.
All For Pinkerton.
The Republicans are not altogether
certain whether they should withdraw
WHITELAW REID from their ticket, and
substitute Roer. PINKERTON Or not,
When Rep was nominated they be-
lieved they had secured the most open
and avowed enemy of organized labor
in the country as their standard be arer,
but events have proven since, that in
that line PINKERTON wears the badge,
and its a question now whether he is
not receiving a warmer support from
the newspapers and leaders of that
party generally than Rein. There are
many leading Republicans who doubt-
ed the propriety of REID’s nomination,
but we havn't heard of one, who as-
sumes to speak for that party, who is
not solid for PINKERTON.

Necessary for a nomination, 53
The attention of the Democratic vo-
ters of the county is called to following
series of resolutions which were adopt-
ed by the last County Convention for
the purpose of changing the basis of
representation in the various district
conferences, of which Centre county
forms a part; and the manner of elect-
ing the delegates to said district nomi-
nating conferences.
The resolutions
lows six baisagdd fxs { {x04
WneRreas. All nominations of candidate for
public offices to be voted for by the people.
should be made by the people themselves, or
by the representatives chosen in such a man-
neras to give every qualified voter an equal
voice in making such nomination; and
whereas the method of making district nomi-
nations in the Democratic party in the central
art of Pennsylvania by district conferences
in which every county has the same represen-
tation regardless of its population or democra
tic vote is manifestly unjust,and is at variance
with the general plan of organization of the
Democratic party, therefore be it.
Resolved, 1st. That hereafter the Democra-
tic party of. Centre county will insist that
the representation ’ in « all district conter-
ences or nominating conventions, from each
county, shall be in proportion to the democra-
tic vote of such county.
2nd, That we favor making the nominating
convention sufficiently large to properly re-
present and voice the wishes of the people,
therefore fayor the allotment to each county
in the district of a delegate for every five hun-
dred democratic votes (or fractional part there-
of over one-half) cast at the last presidential
org b g.ator’al election. J
3ra, That we favor the election of the dis,
trict delegates to the nominating conventions,
by the people at the primary elections, with or
without ins ructions as the voter may deem
best, and that said delegates be elected in sin-
gle districts, so that each delagate will be re-
‘sponsible tothe voters of his immediate dis=
og for his actions in the nominating conven-
ion. Lisi
adopted read as fol-
mate on it for you.
4th. That the county Committee of Centre
16 Run it could examine the stacks of
county be, and the said Committee is hereby
instructed, to apportion said county into ten
Delegate Districts, each containing as nearly
as may be an equal number of Democratic
votes, without dividing an election district and
to, publish said apportionment a sufficient time
béfore the primary election of 1892 to give the
voters full and ample notice theaecf.
sth. That at the primary election to be held
in 1892 there shall be elected in each of said
Delegate Districts in the county, one Con-
gressional delegate, who shall attend the Con-
gressional Conference or nominating conven-
tion, for the purpose of nominating a candi-
date for Congress from the 28th District of
Pennsylvania. And that district delegates be
elected at every subsequent election, when-
ever a district nomination is to be made.
6th. That a committee of three be appoint-
ed (of which the president of this convention
shall be Chairman) to attend the next Demo-
zratic County Convention of the several coun-
ties oom posing our present Congressional
Senatorial and Judicial Disistricts, and lay
these resolutians before said conventions, and
request the co-operation of the democracy of
said counties in establishing this reform in
making district nominations.
7th. That a copy of these resolutions be sent
to the Chairman of the Democratic County
Committee of each of the counties composing
the present Congressional, Senatorial and Ju-
dieial Districts of which Centre county forms
a part.
In pursuance of the 4th resolution the
County Committee met on the 2nd day
of April last and apportioned the coun-
ty into ten Delegate Districts as fol-
lows :
1st District—Miles and Haines townships.
2nd District—Millheim borough, Penn town-
shipand East and West precincts of Gregg
township.
3rd District—North precinct of Gregg téwn-
ship, Potter township and Centre Hall bor-
ough.
4th District.—Harris, Ferguson and College
townships.
5th District.—Patton, Half Moon, Taylor and
Worth, Huston and ‘Union townships and
Unionville borough.
6th District.—Philipsburg and South Philips-
burg borough and Rush township.
7th District.—Burnside, Snow Shoe and
Boggs township and Milesburg borough.
8th Distriet.—Curtin, Liberty, Howard and
Marion townships and Howard borough.
9th District.—Walker and Benner townships
and South precinct of Spring township.
10th District.—Bellefonte borough and the
West precinct of Spring township.
It will be observed that while the res-
olutions provide for the élection of ten
district delegates by the pesple at the
primary elections, they fail to prescribe
the manner of placing in nomination
candidates to be voted for. In order to
avoid confusion and uncertainty and to
make uniform the manner of electing
said district delegates the County Com-
mittee at said meeting authorized and
directed its chairman to reccommend
some method of nominations. In pur-
suance therofit is recommended to the
voters of the ten several delegate dis-
tricts apportioned as aforesaid that they
meet at their several polling places on
Saturday, July 23rd, being two weeks
prior to the day of the regular delegates
elections at 6 o'clock, p. m,,and elect
delegates or representatives to a nom-
inating cacus in each of said ten dis-/
tricts, said caucus to place in nom-
ination a candidate for Congressional
Delegate to be voted for at the regular
primary election to be held Saturday,
August 6th. The number of delegates
from each election precinct to said nom-
inating caucus to be the same as to the
county convention.
It was further recommended that the
delegates to the said district caucus meet
on Saturday, July 80th, atsix o'clock,
p- m., being one week prior to the
regular primary election, at the follow-
ing named places:
First and Second Districts, at Mill-
heim.
Third District at Centre Hall.
Fourth Distret at State College.
Fifth District, at Port Matilda.
Sixth District, at Phillipsburg
Seventh District, at Snow Shoe.
Eighth District at Howard.

Who General Adlia Stevenson Is.
The Democratic Record of the Democratic Can-
didate ‘for Vice President. Always Faithful
to His Political Beliefs and Political Duties
His Party will be Faithful to Him.
Mr. Stevenson’s political career dates
back to 1858, when he first met Steph-
en. Av “Douglass. He was then 22
years'ot age. He was a law student at
the time in the office of Robert T.
Williams. That was the year that
the famous joint debates between Lin-
coln and Douglass took place. It was
the yeaf that Lincoln first earned a na-
tional reputation. Douglass was the
unanimous choice of the Democratic
party of the State for Senator and Lin-
coln was the unanimous choice of the
Republicans and the Independents.
Douglass came to Bloomington to make
a speech. Stephenson was one of the
committee appointed by the leading
citizens of the town to receive him,
That was congidered a great honor.
Douglass took a fancy to him and ad-
vised him to enter politics. Shortly
after Douglass had gone, he started
out on the stump and made speeches
in all parts of the State. Douglass, it
will be remembered, was successful in
electing the Legislature and went to
the Senate.
STUMP WORK HIS SPECIALTY.
Mr. Stevenson’s next actiye political
work was in the campaign of 1860 and
he made quite a reputation then as a
clear and logical speaker. In 1864,
the leaders of the party in this part of
the State placed him oa the electoral
ticket for General McClellan, again he
went on the stump. In that campaign
he made more than 100 speeches in all
parts of the State. Again 1868 he was
one of the principal speakers in tavor
of the Democratic ticket. In 1872 he
stumped the State for Greeley. In
1876 for Tilden, in 1880 for Hancock
and in 1884 he was one of the delegates
to the Democratic National Conven-
tion, and was one of the committee
that waited on Grover Cleveland and
Mr. Hendricks and notified them of
their nomination.
This waa the first time he met Mr.
Cleveland, and it. was at the State
Capitol at Albany. He was appointed
First Assistant Postmaster General by
Mr. Cleyeland on July 7, 1884, to suc-
ceed Malcolm Hay. “The duties of the
office at that time fell on one man.
Mr. Hay's health failed under the task.
Mr. Stevenson was asked to-day how
many Republican * postmasters there
were in office when he was appointed
Assistant Postmaster General. He
answered : “I am not quite certain,
but I think there were about 40,000.
While 1° ‘was Assistant Postmaster
General I never decapitated a Republi
can postmaster merely because he was
a Republican, but when a majority of
the Democrats of any town or district
expressed a desire that a Democratic
postmaster should be appointed in the
place of a Republican then in office, if
their desire could be gratified, I con-
sidered it my duty as a Democrat to
oglige them. I didn’t hunt up places,
as I tell you, but I did do my duty as
a Democrat.”
HE LEFT 40,000 DEMS IN OFFICE.
“General,” asked a reporter; “about
how many Democratic postmasters
were there when you left office ?”
“I don't know exactly,” was the
answer, *‘but I think there were about
40,000.
It was while inthe office of Assist
ant Postmaster General that Mr. Stev-
enson established friendships and ac-
quaintanceships in almost every vil-
lage, hamlet and town in the United
‘ States. He made himself popular in
Washington through an absolute ha-
tred of ‘everything that savored of red
tape, The latch string was always
out. There were no doorkeepers;
cards. were not necessary to obtain ad-
mission. It was his custom to see up-
ward of 100 men a day. Ordinarily
the offices are closed at 2 o'clock, and
noone is admitted on business missions
after that hour. Mr. Stevenson did
not follow that custom. He could be
seen at any time up till the moment
that he left his office.
In a crowd of young men who visit-
ed Mr. Stevenson this afternoon was
one young man who tapped him on the
shoulder rather familiarly and said:
“To the victor belongs the spoils.”
“That'is not my sentiment,” said
Mr. Stevenson, “I believe that the ad-
ministration is responsible to the peo-
ple for all the acts of the officers of the
Government and that therefore the of-
fice should be filled by friends of the
administration and that the men who
conduct the administration of public
affairs should have the selection of
their subordinates.”
HELPED TO NOMINATE CLEVELAND,
In 1888 Mr. Stevenson helped to re-
nominate President, Cleveland, al-
though he was not a delegate and did
not attend the National Convention.
After the nomination was made he
threw his soul into the campaign and
worked night and day for Democratic
success. He made ten speeches in
New York, and nobody ever kept ac-
count of the number he made in 1lli-
‘nois and other States:
After election, when Mr. Wanamak-
er was appointed to the office of Post-
master General, Mr. Stevenson, in the
absence of Don Dickinson, turned over
the department to him, and at the re-
quest of the new Postmaster General,
and much to his own inconvenience,
he retained the place of Assistant Post-
master General for 10° or 12 days until
his successor, John 8. Clarkson, was
appointed. This is a brief history of
Stevenson’s record as connected with
national politics exclusively.
The Homestead Trouble-Continued.
Strikers Thunderstruck. Tco Greatly Dazed to
Think of Troops Marching on Them.
HoMESTEAD, Pa., July 10.—At 11
o'clock to-night word was received here
that Governor Pattison had called out
the troops to be in readiness to go to |!
Homestead. i
The strikers are thunderstruck. They
hardly seem to realize what is: said to
them. Each man who heard it asked
in a dazed way, “Is that so?”
They went to headquarters and are
gathered there. Thera is a large crowd
at the present writing, and men are run- |

to see them pass. Not a word of fight.
ing or resisting has been uttered.
THE SITUATION ACCEPTED.
The news of the military’s coming
came over the wires to this point at 11,01
p, m., and a few minutes ‘later it had
come to the ears’ of the’ strikers, At
ulity, but a few inquiries among the
press representatives convinced them
that it was right. Little groups gather-
ed at the street corners and the situation’
was discussed in low but earnest terms.
The hot headed strikers were at first
disposed to be a little defiant, and there |
were occasional declarations that even
the militia would be opposed; but
when it was learned that the division
ordered out numbered 8000 men, these
declarations promptly gave away to
«Qh, well, we have beat the Pinkertons
anyway. They did not dare to coma.” |
AFTER THE MILITARY ADVENT.
The leaders of the strikers are unus-
ually uncommunicative. hat
“We cannot talk ”’ was the response
to all interrogations. Later the epin-
ion was freely oxpressed by -the rank:
and file that the militia would be receiv-
ed by no hostile demonstration and that
an armistice would be declared until
after their departure, i
“But they will have to go away some
time,’’ said the leader of a little. group
near the depot, “and when they do, we
would hke to see them run the mill non- ;
union.”
NO HOSTILITY TO TROOPS.
Burgess McLuckie, who, with Hugh
O'Donnell, is one of the leaders of the
Homestead strikers, was seen late 'to-
night and asked. .
“How do you regard the latest news —
the calling out of the militia ?”
“That is right in our line.
us first rate.”
«How will the militia be received ?”
“With open arms.” :
“There will be no hostility ?”’
“None whatever. We will receive
them in a fraternal spirit and accord ‘to
them that respect due to “the representa-
tives of the grandeur and dignity of the
great State of Pennsylvania. We have
been expecting them, and we are glad
they are coming. There will not be
the slightest opposition to their presence,
nor the least manifestation of unfriendli-
ness.” 4
SAY THEY'LL WIN ANYWAY.
“Do you fear that their prosence will
be taken advantage of by the company

in an effort to install non-unon men in
the mill?”
“I do not. Governor Pattison has:
said that the militia are not to be used
as guards and he is not sending them
here for that purpose. They will be
kept here for a few days, und when it is
seen how peaceable everything is, I pre-
dict they will be withdrawn. The Sher--
iff has been insisting that he could not
keep the peace, and I suppose it has been:
finally determined to send the troops:
here to see how necessary they are.
They will be received with respect.
Our fight was against the Pinkertons,
against invasions of our homes by an
armed, illegal and disreputable private
army.”
PITTSBURG GREATLY EXCITED.
PrrrsBUrG, PaA., Jury 10.—Intense
excitement prevails over the ordering
out of the State militia. Opinion is
pretty evenly divided as to the action of
the strikers when confronted by the 8000
members of the National Guard.
It is believed among the laboring ele-
ment that the strikers will resist the State
Guard to the last.
The two Pittsburg regiments and one
battery are composed largely of working-
men and there may be some difficulty
experienced in getting the men into line.
Their officers are confident, however,
that those who do turn out will obey
orders and fire, if necessary.

the Beyond.
NEw York, July 12.—After a long
and exceedingly painful illness of body
and mind Cyrus W. Field at 9.10
o'clock this morning breathed his last at
his home near this city. Mr.Field at one
time worth millions and one of the broad-
est minded capitalists of the country,
enjoyed a reputation for progressive
ideas and practical benevolence that was
not confined to this city, this state, this
country, but wasspread throughout the
civilized world. Twas he who by the use
of his fertile brain and plethoric purse:
virtually laid the first Atlantic cable,
one of the greatest achievements of the
century. That same cable has already
flashed to the cities across the ocean, three
thousand miles away, the news of the
death ot its founder. That one piece of
work should immortalize him. The past
few years he has had much domestic
distress—the death of his wife and
daugter while he was on the sick bed,
and those heartaches being followed by
thedisgraceful conduct of an unprincipl-
ed} and ungrateful son, broke down the
ordinarily strong man, His death is
greatly lamentd here, where he was best
known, which bears testimony to his
great worth as a man and citizen.
