The supporters of McKINLEY are making a tariff hurrah of the cam- paign they are conducting in Ohio, They point to the business depression as the effect of Democratic “free trade,” and go on with their clatter as if the Democratic tariff policy were actually in operation and exerting an influence upon the industries of the country. The people of Ohio are a pcpulation of average intelligence, and itis to be seen to what extent they will be affect- ed by tke absurd misrepresentation that business derangements that have taken place while Republican tarift and financial regulations are still in force, are to be attributed to the Dem- ocratic policy that has not yet been put in action, and, in fact, not yet formulated. Ohio is a Republican state and in all probability will give its usual Re- publican majority at the next election. Coroner.—DR. G. 8S. FRANK. RR — Let Democrats Be Democrats. The life of a political organization may be said to last only so long as such an organization may find enough members to keep it in existence. Of a certainty the varying fortunes of poli tics have much to do with thesupport of the party favored, but there is nothing “that promotes a strong, healthful growth like active workers for party prineiples. There must be some incentive, how. ever, for that work of individuals which keeps a political organization always on the aggressive. In Democ- racy we find the fulfillment of all these hopes, for the weal of our govern- ment, with which we are imbued as every campaign comes round. The principles of the Democratic platforms, national, state and county, are the ones we love aud those in which we have implicit faith. In working for the partys candidates we are really work- ing forthe principles they expouse, be- cause they are theones we deem best. It is essential therefore, if we would make our party invincible, that we give it our hearty support at all times, No finer evidence of fealty to party principles nor better assurance that success will crown determined effort is to be found than the history of the Democratic party for the last quarter of a century affords. Beginning the struggle for supremacy with odds against us that seemed almost insur- mountable the party worked on and on, meeting rebuff again and again, only to be spurred to harder work next time, until it met success, in a measure, when TiLprN was elected President in 1876. The theft of the office by Haves only aroused the Democrats to more determined action and they struggled in the combat with Republi- canism, that seemed unconquerable be- hind its entrenchment of corruption, until CLEVELAND was elected President in 1884. This material success was encouraging and the fight still carried on found its greatest victory in that overwhelming condemnation of Repub- lican measures and tariff robbery in It is in such a victory that we see the result of teaching the people the principles and intent of Democracy, And it would never have been won had | we not stood together through all those years of defeat. Now the ques tion arises, why did we stand together? why was it that we did not become dig- couraged and leavy the party ship to CAUSE WE ARE DEMOCRATS! Because we believed that Democratic principles were the ones needful to the proper government of our country. It is because you are Democrats we appeal to you in this a campaign which you may deem of little impor- tance to let the same old zeal arouse you. Let there be the same determi- nation for party success that has char- acterized you in the past. Remember only that Democracy is (the fight and that you area Democrat. You voted for the party last Fall and everywhere Repuhlicans are taunting you with the charge that the present business de- pression. 1s due to the change in the ad- ministration when they know, as well as you, that the rotten Republican leg- islation of years previous, 4nd un- changed to-day, has been thg direct The time has come for you to vindicate i Show that you voted right last Fall by voting the same way on November 7th. ’ i En — ~———Joux CoNpo is the Dentogratic nomicee for Sheriff of Centre| county and as such has reason to expeqt every Democrat in the county to vote for him. He isa man particularly, adapt- ed, for the office to which helaspires ! againgt Democratic ‘“‘free trade,” and it ‘and are going to vote for Jomn Q. Then it will be proclaimed by the Mc: KinLEYITES that Ohio has pronounced will be heralded as a revolution of pop- ular sentiment. Bui the defeat of this ¢laim, and the absurdity of this McKINLEY assump- tion, will be fully shown after the ac- tion of the Democrats on the tariff has been taken. The tariff will certainly be revised ; many of the higher duties will be lowered ; unnecessary burdens will be removed, and a number of the most important raw materials will be placed on the free list. Business, which has been depressed by causes, in no way connected with the tariff, will resume its accustomed activity ; man- ufacturers will be attended with a more substantial prosperity than under the unnatural stimulus of a monopoly policy, and the country will flourish under a Democratic tariff. Then will be made evident the utter folly of the McKINLEY campaign in Ohio, which is based on the misrepresentation that the advent of a Democratic administra tion has ruined the business of the country. ——- Dr. George S. Frank, of Mill- heim, the Democratic nominee for Cor- oner, as well as W. N. Grovg, the nominee for Surveyor, should receive the full party vote. They arein the race to win just the same as the rest of our candidates and with your support they will accomplish their aim. George W. Rumberger. One of the truest and best known Democrats in the county is on our ticket this Fall for the office of Regis ter and tosay that he will be elected is simply toretelling the wish of a major- ity of four voters. We refer to G. W. RuMBERGER, of Philipsburg, whose life long devotion to the interests of Democracy makes him one of the most deserving candidates whose name has appeared on the ticket for years. He is a man about whom not a single uncomplimentary utterance can be made for, as a resident in various parts of the county, he has always lived a sober, industrious christian life, mak- ing friends of all who koew him and gaining. the confidence of hosts of peo- ple who will find it a pleasure to vote for him on November Tth. When} Commissioner’s clerk, under Messrs. Grist and Worr, he shared much of the credit that was accorded that Board for its successful manage- ment of the county’s business. He was careful, economic and neat in his work and a glimpse into the bocks of the Commissioner's office, during his em- ployment as clerk, will convince all that those of the Registers office will be properly kept if he is elected their custodian. It behooves every Democrat in the county 10 vote for Mr. RUMBERGER , be cause he has always been a Democrat himself and has a right to expect the undivided support of his party. ——Jarep HarPER is still sending out those 3x4 supplements in the Mag- net, trying to tell the people that he ought to be the next Treasurer of the couaty, but JERRY can’t fool any one with suchltrasb. Democrats are going to vote for Mr. Mires all the same and when the election is over Messrs. Har- PER and CoMLEY will both find out that the combination didn’t deceive the people. ——— Mr. CoMLEY is riding over the county behind two spanking grey horses and is putting on as much style asthe Prince of Wales. The people don’t like such a way of electioneering I How to Answer Them. It is the custom of Republican cam- paign workers in this county to blame | the present depressed condition of the : business of the country on the advent of Democracy to power. For the bene- | fit of those who may not have thought of an effective answer for such aftront- ery, let us follow the facts for thirty- three years back and answer occording- ly. Tke Republicans have run the na. tional government since 1860, with but a single exception of four years. Un- der this regime we have experienced four terrible panics. During the opera- tion of the SHERMAN act, a Republican measure which has been in effect for the past few years, the government credit has been impaired, manufacto- ries closed and men are working at re- duced wages and short days. Under the same act we are using a dollar that is worth only sixty-eight cents, while under the McKINLEY bill, a Re- publican enactment, the farmer is get- ting only fifty-five cents a bushel for his wheat and twelve cents a pound for his wool. Put this statement to the Republi can who cries “hard times’ at you and ask bim to explain its cause. He won't do it, for if he did, he would con- demn the party for which he is begging support. Democrats your principles are grand, glorious and patriotic, they will bring the country into the highest era of prosperity it has ever known when once they have chance to become opera- tive. Endorse them then by voting for the straight ticket. ——Did you say that Jou~n HarTER? Did you say that *‘the intelligence of this country is in the Republican Party 2" If you did, how have you the nerve to ask a Democrat to vote for you. Surely you don’t want your defeat tainted with poor, ignorant, Democratic votes. ——TIt seems almost like a work of supererogation to dwell upon the qual- ifications or deserts of our candidate for the office of Recorder. Mr. Mor" R18ON has spent three years in the of- fice, and the neat and correct set of books kept during his term attest for themselves his ability and fitness for the position. They are at all times open to public inspection, and all who desire to have ocular proof that he is the right man 1n the right place, have only to visit his office to be convinced beyond question. Mr. MorRrIsON gives his personal and undivided attention to the affairs of his office, and those hav- ing business with him are not only certain that their work will be correct- ly done, but that they will receive the prompt and courteous personal atten- tion which is their due. He has prov- en one of the;most popular officials the county has ever had and one of the most deserving®as well. There is no reason why heshould not poll the full party vote. TA good mau is a credit to the party and will prove a strength to it, for that reason Mr. MOoRRisON should receive your undivided support. ——Democrats don’t get mixed up in che fight between Stronm and Rip- DLE leave them to run their own affairs and vote for Messrs. Apams and Goop- HART. We had a taste of what Republican Commissioners do, when HENDERSON ’s gang was in, and we don’t wan't to run any more risks. So no matter what either StrouM or RippLE may ask for don’t doit, but stick to our candidates and be assured of gond officials, ——If any Democrat in Centre county votes for Joun HAarTER for Sherift then we will be forced to believe that there is some truth in HarTEr's P. 8S. C's Great Showing Against the University: The Pennsylvania State College Foot Ball Team Displays Surprising Strength— The University of Pennsylvania Has a, Close Call—A Clean Well Played Game from Start to Finish. PriLapELPHIA, October 25.—The University of Pennsylvania foot ball team defeated the strong Pennsylvania State College team here this afternoon | by the narrow and unsatistactory score | of 18 to 6. The boys froin Bellefonte | played surprisingly good foot ball, their touch-down being scored five minutes afier play began. White | having secured the ball on a fumble by ! Knipe and after a long run carried it | over the Varsity line mid the frantic | cheering of a score or more of the ad-! mirers, of the blue and white who were there to how! for them. The visitors seemed to have little troublein making gains through Penn— sylvania’s line, Time and again they centre and tackles for five, ten and fifteen yards. They did not gain so much at gkirting the ends, as the end rushers for Pennsylvania tackled fairly well. A crushing blow came to the home team in the second half, when Oliver, the big guard and best man of the Pennsylvania line went down beneath a heap of wriggling players with his leg bent under him. When he was extricated it was found that his knee was badly wrenched and it was neces— sary for his companions to carry him to the training house. Dr. Schoft says it is doubtful if Oliver will be able to play in the big game with Princeton next week. Nelson also had a leg twisted and retired. He is aot so badly hurt as Oliver, however. To sum up, the interference of Pennsylvania was very poor, and there was a general lack of team work. The centre play was faulty. Woodruff, a new man, snapped the ball back and he was very erratic in his play. Oa the other hand the State college boys put up a surprising game, their tack- ling being fierce and for the first b alf they more than beld their own with Pennsylvania. In the second half, however, the superior end work of Pennsylvania told, and the latter were able to scoretwo touch downs ard win. Though the score should rightfully be 18 to 12 as White made another touch— down in the second half which was not allowed because the umpire did not see Knipe fumble, before White secured it for another long run which resulted in a score. .

Commencing October 20th, and con- tinuing until Sunday, October 28th in- clusive, excursion tickets to Chicago will be placed on sale, and will be good for passage on all trains except the Pennsylvania Limited, from York, Harrisburg, and points west on the maia line, including the branches, Frederick Division, Cumberland Val- ley Railroad, Lewistown Division to Selinsgrove, Tyrone Division to Lock Haven, Altoona, Cambria and Clear field, Southwest Bedford West Penn Division and Monongahela Divisions. $15.00 trom York, $16.60 from Frederick, $15.75 from Harrisburg, $14.50 from Altoona, and proportionate rates from other stations. This arrangement is a most unexcep- tional one, and will undoubtedly be the cause of many visiting the great Ex- position during the closing days, who would not otherwise undertake the journey. All who can do so are advised to see the Fair, as it is highly improbable that another of its immense magnitude will be seen by the readers of these lines. A liberal education in itself is to be obtained by an inspection of the incomprehensibly large collection of wonderful inventions and sights incor- porated in this mighty effort of the American people.

WasHINGTON, Oct. 23.—All the Democratic members of the ways and means committee engaged in the prepa- ration of the tariff bill agree that it is desirable to have the bill reported at the earliest day possible, and most of them think it can be reported at least within a month.

ALBany, N. Y., Oct. 22.—Charles F. Peck, ex-commisioner of the state bureau ot labor statistics, was arrested early Saturday evening on a warrant sworn out by Manager F. W. New- man, of the Capital District Messenger service here. The warrant was based on charges made by two of the messen- ger boys, who had been called to Peck’s rooms, at 27 South Hawk street. Detective Sweeney, who was sent to make the arrest, found Peck in bed. Peck asked the detective to let him commit suicide. The detective said he would if he had another witness present. At the station house Peck appeared to be very nervous and kept repeating Lis denial of the boys’ story and de- | claring that it was the continuance of the persecution which began with his arrest for destroying the papers relat- ing to his last tariff-and-wages report. Peck returned from Europe last week and was arraigned on Wednes- day under the old indictments for de- stroying public papers.

The rolling stock Diep.—On the night of October 21st, 1893, Miss Ella Garner, daughter of Samuel and Julia Garner, of near the State College, died after only three hours illness, of neuralgia of the heart: Sitting in the comfortable parlor of her home with other members of the family and friends, she clasped her hands on her heart and exclaimed: “oh | what a pain.” The physician was called who, with kind friends and loving hands, did what could be done but no relief came and soon, much sooner than the loving ones could realize, the angel of death had crossed the threshold and she, who only three hours before was in the ful- ness of life, the joy of her friends and the light of the home, was still in death. This is the second time that death, within recent years entered the home of the Garners and took each time a daugh- ter in the flush of womanhood. Miss Ella was one of the sprightly, bright young women it is always a pleas- ure to meet, dutiful in all relations of life. The vacancy her death leaves in the home will long, very long, be felt. But while the relations and friends do mourn they are not as those without hope. : This young woman was a faithful and devout member of the Methodist church since childhood. While the dread messenger came suddenly he sure- ly found her ready to exchange the joys and pleasures of this life, beautiful as they are, for the endless joys and bound- less pleasures in the city eternal, in the heavens, whose builder and founder is God, * KELLAR.— The missionaries in Thibet, who have not yet succeeded in penetra- ting to the sacred city of Lhasa have been sorely in need of late of the expert assistance of some American or Euro- pean who could put them on a footing of friendship with the adepts of that country, introduce them to the myste- ries of the famous mountain monestaries where Koot, Hoomi, Lal Sing learn the mysteries of life and death and where the secrets of ancient magic have been preserved for centuries. It was there, after many years residence in India, that Kellar, now the most famous of living magicians, learned the mysteries of Black and White Magic and the art | of philosophy. And it is to him that the missionaries have appealed ; so that if his performance is missed now it may be many years before it can be seen again.

WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.--The sons and daughters of Mr. and Mrs, Barna- bas Shope gave their parents a happy day on Friday last. Our friend Barney was literally caught napping. It was the 48th anniversary of his wedding, a happy event and a propitious one in- deed, if the manner in which it was celebrated last Friday bears any signifi- cance.
