The New Nominations For Congress-
men-at-Large.
The Democratic State Convention,
which reeonvened at Farrisburg on
Tuesday to fill the vancancies on the
State ticket caused by the death of
ex-Senator SLoAN, and the declination
of Judge BucHER, nominees, for Con-
gressmen-at-Large, did its business ex-
peditiously but well. Two gentlemen
were nominated, both of whom give
strength to the ticket.
In selecting a candidate from the
western part of the State Hexay MEry-
ER, Esq., of Pittsburg, was chosen. He
ig well known in his section for his
ability, and esteemed for his personal
qualities. His position is prominent
among the Democrats of Allegheny
county who maintain the Democratic
cause and contend for Democratic
principles against an overwhelming
adverse majority. He stands in the
front rank of the lawyers at the Pitts-
burg bar, and in those abilities which
are required to make an efficient Rep-
resentative he is equal to the best
that the "Republicans have on their
ticket. The other nominee is Mr.
Tuomas CoLLiNs, of our own county,
whom it is unnecessary for us to intro-
duce to the people of this county, who
know him so well and so favorably ;
nor is it necessary for him to have an
introduction to the Democracy of the
State, for there is no man in the ranks
of the party in Pennsylvania who has
devoted more of his time and means to
the Democratic cause with a purpose
as unselfish as it has been unintermit-
ting. Although not an aspirant for
office, there has not been a state or na-
tional contest for years past in which
Mr. CoLuiNg’ influence was not felt in
the interest of the Democratic party.
As a business man he enjoys a most
enviable reputation, and no man has a
fairer record as an employer of labor.
His business as a contractor has con-
nected him with some of the heaviesg
work not only in this State but in oth-
ers, requiring the employment of
thousands of men, with whom he has
never had any trouble in regard to
wages. Labor never suffered any op-
pression at his hands nor any curtail-
ment of its just dues ; and if all the
men that have been in his employ and
received fair and considerate treatment
at his hands should vote tor him their
votes would be sufficient to turn the
election in his favor. The money he
has made by operations that have
given employment to labor has not
been withdrawn from active usefulness
by being invested in stocks and securi-
ties, but it has been kept at work in
operations that have furnished employ-
ment, and are to-day furnishing em-
ployment to large numbers of men. At
this time, when the interests of labor
enter 80 largely into politics, the work-
ingmen could not elect to Congress a
man upon whom they could depend
more safely than THomas CoLLINns.
——Wool is five cents a pound and
wheat four cents a bushel bigher than
they were the day the McKINLEY bill
was repealed. That was but two weeks
ago. Possibly there are idiots in the
country who will still try to make
farmers believe that Democratic legis-
lation was intended to reduce the price
of their products.
——It don’t matter a bob-ee to the
people of Centre county what the out-
come of the Republican Judicial con-
ference may be. They intend to vote for
Bowker, and whether Love or LovELL
comes out ahead at Tyrone is not both-
ering them a particle,
Hastings Ignores State Issues.
In the speech with which Hastings
opened the campaign State issues were
conspicuously absent, He didn’t even
as much as allude to them, and yet
they are the only ones that are of ma-
terial consequence in a State election.
Judging from the themes which he
handled in his oration one would be al-
mostiled to believe that the General
thinks that he is running for President,
and that the subjects which will re
quire his official attention in the event
of his election will be tarifts and such
like matters of national impor tance.
The common run of voters who have
read his speech looked in vain to die-
cover what he had to say about State
mafters, and they fonnd themselves un-
informed as to what he would do in
administering the affairs of the com-
monwealth. He had much to say
about the beauties of McKiNLEYISM ;
he enlarged upon the national policy
of the Republican party, and directed
the thunder of his eloquence against
the CLeveLaND administration ; but it
would have been more satisfying to
the Pennsylvania citizen if some of his
talk had been devoted to issues in-
volved in the State election.
For example, he might have said
something about the enforcement of
the State constitution, much of which
has been allowed to remain a dead let-
ter. That part of it which requires a
fair and regular apportionment of the
State, and also another part, which im-
poses certain restrictions upon corpor-
ate power and aggrandizement, has
been persistently ignored and defied by
the party that controls the politics of
the State. Would it have been ont of
place for a candidate for Governor to
have alluded to this abuse and to have
said what he intended to do about it to
the extent of his official capacity
should he be elected ?
The new election law has been per-
verted from its original objects and made
inadequate to the full protection of the
ballot box against bribery and intimi-
dation. Could not a gubernatorial candi-
date have very properly spoken on
this subject, and would it not have
been very satisfactory to the people it
he had given his views on a matter of
80 much importance as the purity of
the ballot box ?
Then there are other State issues,
such as the unequal imposition of taxes
upon the tarming community, the dis
crimination practiced by railroad com-
panies, the disregard with whi ch
employing companies and corpor-
ations treat the law which re-
quires the semi-monthly payment
of wages and prohibits the “pluck:
me’’ store extortion and various
other matters of importance to the
tax-payers and working people of the
State, all of which would have been
proper and timely subjects for a candi-
date for the chief office in the State to
have spoken about, but which did not
draw a single word from candidate
Hastings.
The position ot the Democrais of
Pennsylvania on these questions 1s
clearly defined and distinctly, under.
stood. The views of their candidate
for Governor on every one of them
have been repeatedly and unmistake-
ably published in his newspaper, ren-
dering it unnecessary for any one to be
ignorant of his sentiments in regard to
State taxes, the protection of the bal-
lot, the discrimination of carrying com-
panies, the payment of semi-monthly
wages and the “pluck-me’” stores ini-
quity. The people would have been
pleased to learn from candidate Hasrt-
INGS own words how he stands on these
questions, but inctead of giving them
the desired information in his speech
he switched off on McKiNLEYI3M.
—If a few pretending Democrats
down in Clinton county have found it
an easy job to sell out the party in
their Congressional district and to hand
that county over to the Republicans,
they will discover it to be a very differ-
ent undertaking to betray and defeat
the Democracy of this Senatorial dis-
trict. There are too many trae D emo.
crats within the limits of the three
counties to allow the machinations of
the gang that sold out Mort. ELLiorT,
four years ago, to play a similar game
now.
——If the Republicans of this Sen-
atorial district expect to profit by the
candidacy of Mr, Woops CaLbweLL,
they will very likely waken up disap-
pointed. It is one thing to be a gelf-
nominated candidate. It is quite an-
other, under this new system of voting
—to show that every one who wants,
has the right to have his name printed
upon the ticket.
——C. M. Bower has hoed his own |
row through life so far, but from now |
until the election he will have every |
man in the district, who wants to see a |
good judge presiding over our courts, |
assisting him to the best of his ability,
He Will Get All the Fight He Wants.
That some very wild talk should be
indulged in at the recent meeting of Re-
publican Leagues at Harrisburg was
entirely natural, considering the dis-
ordered condition of the Republican
brain on the tariff question. It has been
knocked silly by Democratic tariff re-
form, and is incapable of forminga
correct idea as to “where it is at’
Therefore no one who was present on
the occasion had reason tobe surpris-
ed at President Jack RoBINsoN’s get-
ting off the following rant in address-
ing the assembled leaguers: “The
whole Republican party is animated
with a desire to get at the common
enemy—to get at the ballot-box and
give the Democratic party the worst
slugging ever it got.”
It is quite clear that these fellows
are counting largely upon the effect
which the “calamity howl” will have
upon the campaign, but with all the
evidences of returning prosperity, with
the public mind assured that a revival
of the industries is atiending the opera-
tion of the Democratic tariff, what
will the howl amount to without the
calamity.
A year ago that kind of campaign
tactics could be worked with advan-
tage. The public mind was confused
as to what was hurting the business in-
terests, and a large class of voters,
who never look below the surface for
the cause of effects which they ex-
perience, were eagily made to believe
that the Democratic admininis-
tration was responsible for the bus-
ness depression. A few months tria]
of the new tariff, however, will largely
dispel that delusion, and a year will
knock it higher than a kite. Unfor-
tunately the time between the passage
of the tariff bill and the next election
is short, but even in that brief period
one mill after another, going into oper-
ation, with a general confidence in the
revival of business will place the
“calamity howler” in rather a ridicu-
lous attitude as a campaign factor.
Bold Jack RosinsoN, who professes
to be itching to pitch into the Demo-
cratic party and giveit “the worst slug’
ging ever it got,” like many another
bully spoiling for a fight, is likely to
find his party coming out of the scrap
with a bloodier nose than he antici-
pated.
A Notable Omission.
General Hasring's speech at Har-
risburg, which was intended to be the
keynote of the State campaign, is dis-
tinguished by a very notable omission.
It says nothing about the $40 per capi-
ta circulation demanded by the plat-
form on which he is running for Gov-
ernor. Ee
The General is elaborate in extolling
McKINLEYISM, and exerts the' utmost
power of his eloquence in portraying
the ruin wrought by the Democratic
tariff reformers, but not a word is de-
voted to the scheme of providing car-
rency to the liberal amount of $40 for
every inhabitant of the country, which
constitutes so attractive a feature of
the Republican State platform.
People who have regard tor a sound
currency and look with disfavor upon
Populistic schemes of inflation, view
with no small amount of apprehension
the “wild cat” declaration of the Re-
publicans of Pennsylvania on the
money question, while others look at
it in noother light than as campaign
clap-trap intended to catch the votes of
those who erroneously believe that pros-
perity is promoted by plenty of cheap
money. It was expected that candi-
date HastiNg’s would explain the
meaning and purpose of the $40 per
capita plank in the platform, but he
disappointed public curiosity on this
subject by nct saying a word about it
in his epeech.
——Senator MaNDERrsoN, of Ne-
braska, wants the tariff taken out of
politics. That is just what the Demo-
cratic party proposes to do by furnigh-
ing the country with such a fair and
equitable tariff, as will satisfy the peo-
ple and give nobody a good reason to
want to tinker with it. Tariffs of the
McKINLEY variety are the kind that
causes dissatisfaction with a majority
of the people and sets political parties
to fighting about them.
——Mr. Joan WaNAMAKER adver-
tises that the Democratic tariff has
compelled him to reduce the price of
everything he sells, We thank Mr.
W., for his honest confession and con-
gratulate the people, particularly the
laboring men and farmers, that the
beneficent effects of Democratic legis
lation are being felt and acknowled ged

A People’s Candidate for Judge.
In C. M. Bowker, Esq., the nominee
of the Democrats of the 49th judicial
district, the people of Centre and Hunt-
ingdon counties see a man whose qual-
ifications for the exalted position of
president judge are beyond question,
His unanimous nomination by the con
ferees of the two counties, comprising
the district, is evidence that his party
has every confidence in his ability to
uphold the honor of our courts of jus-
tice should he be elected to preside
over them,
Just what opposition there will be
to Mr. Bower's election is not now
known, as the Republicans are still
wrangling about the selection of a can-
didate. However, the out come of the
contest between Love and LovELL may
be, the effect on his candidacy will be
immaterial. Should he have Love as
an opponent the dirty work of the lat-
ter’s henchmen in this county, when he
defeated Judge FuURsT at the primaries,
will turn many votes away from him.
Should LoveLL be chosen by the Re-
publicans his unfitness for the office
would make him an easy mark for
Democrats to shoot at.
The question is not so much one as
to the shortcomings of the possible Re-
publican nominees, but rather of the
exceptional qualifications of Mr. Bow-
ER. His character has always been
irreproachable, he has grown from
childhood to a high position at the
bar, before the eyes of the Centre coun-
ty people. He is an active member of
the Reformed church and has always
been known as an unstinted giver to
charities and other christian work.
As a lawyer Mr. Bower has long been
recognized as a leader at the bar here
and his election would insure a prom pt-
ness and equity in the conduct of court
affairs that has not been known for
years. His methodical ways comme nd
him to the voters as being a man who
will see to it that the court work is
kept up to date and not left run behind
several years as is now the case.
He is a pure, clean man whose abili-
ty is unquestioned and whose strength
makes the out come of the Republican
convention of little consequence.
Our Candidate for Senator.
The action of the Democrats of ‘the
34th Senatorial district in nominating
Marr. Savage, editor of the Clearfield
Public Spirit, as their candidate, at the
conference held in Tyrone last Friday
night, has given the Democracy anoth-
er leader about whom it can rally with
a united effort.
Mr. Savage is a man well known in
newspaper, political and grange circles
throughout the State. His paper has
ever been a fearless exponent of sound
Democratic doctrines and his associa
tion with the party has been as an un.
tiring worker for the supremacy of its
principles.
He is a self made man, having risen
from the vocation of a country school
teacher to the position of prominence
he now holds solely through indomita-
ble pluck. The opposition which is
said to exist to his candidacy in his
own county is eimply the product of
jealousy. He has always been the
friend of the mining classes and in
consequence there are said to be some
—the oppressors of the wage earners—
who look upon him with disfavor.
Such tales, however, will have no ef-
fect when the character of Mr. SavaGe
becomes known,
His nomination was effected by
Centre’s uniting with Clearfield thus
giving him two counties against Clin-
ton’s aspirant, Mr. Woops CALDWELL.
The result of the conference gives us a
candidate between whom and the Re-
publican nominee there can be no com-
parison. The latter being in no way
qualified to represent this district in
the Senate.
Mr. Savage can depend on a large
vote in this county.
——The object of the Democracy of
this State should be not only to hold
every district that now eends a Demo-
crat to Congress, but to gain a few, if
possible. In this way thev will help
to emphasize Pennsylvania's demand
for free raw materials for the benefit of
her manufactures and her working
people.
——ARNOLD wishes now that he bad
had paralysis of the tongue, twelve
| years ag), when he was abusing Beav-
ER from every stump that he could
get a chance to talk from, He finds
that time flies fast, and that the vapor-
ings of a crank are treasured up against
him.

keep the tariff out of politics and pre
vent further injurious agitation on the
subject, can help to do it by putting
their feet on the party that wants to

that name this fall.

Collins and Meyer the Nominees.
1he Democratic Candidates for Congressmen-at-
Large.— Nominated by Acclamation.—B. F.
Meyers, of Harrisburg, Presided Over the
Convention and Delivered a Stirring Address
on the Political Situation,
HARRISBURG, Sept. 11.—The Demo-
cratic state convention reconvened here
to-day to fill the vacancies on the state
ticket, caused by the death of Hannibal
K. Sloan, of Indiana county, and the
withdrawal of ex-Judge Bucher, of
Union county, the nominees for con-
gressmen-at-large.
In the absence of Attorney General
Hensel, permanent chairman, of the re-
cent convention, who was detained by
an important court case, Benjamin F.
Meyer, of Harrisburg, presided.
NOT MANY DELEGATES PRESENT.
There was a small representation of
delegates, and the work of the conven-
tion was gone through without any un-
necessary delay.
At the close of Mr. Meyers’ speech
which was an able defense of the Demo-
cratic party and a scathing arraignment
of the Republican tariff policy, the com-
mittee on resolutions presented the fol-
lowing, which was unanimously adopted
by the convention :
Resolved, That this convention has
heard with profound grief of the death
of Hon. Hannibal K. Sloan, its late nom-
inee for representative at large in con-
gress.
He was an estimable citizen, a brave
soldier in the army of the union, a sena-
tor faithful to his con stituents and to the
state, a Democrat devoted to the princi-
ples of the party. His death is a loss to
the Democracy of Pensylvania and to
all the people of the commonwealth.
PLATFORM REAFFIRMED.
Resolved, That we reaffirm the plat-
form and principles upon which the can-
didates of the Democratic party were
nominated on June 27, 1894. We ap-
rove the Democratic administration of
resident Cleveland and Governor Pat-
tison. We cordially commend the con-
sistant attitude of the president toward
tariff reform, administrative reform and
sound financial policy. We refer to the
fact that the repeal of the McKinley
tariff and the abolition of high protec-
tive duties are being speedily followed
by improved business conditions and re-
stored public confldence, and that the
steps already taken toward lower cus-
tom duties have resulted in the revival
of business the restoration of manufac-
turing, and the stimulation of trade.
We, therefore, confidently appeal to the
voters of Pennsylvania for their support
of the candidates placed in nomination
by this convention.
Thomas Collins, of Bellefonte, and
Henry Meyer, of Allegheny, were
unanimously chosen ds the new candi-
dates for congressmen-at-large.
Adjourned sine die.

Soldier's Home Scandal.
Commandant Keatley and Adjutant Wells Sus-
pended Pending Investigation.
MareHALLTOWN, Ia., Sept. 8.—As
the result of a week’s investigation by
Commissioners of the Iowa Soldiers’
Home Commandant John H. Keatley
and Adjutant Fred Wells are suspend-
ed from their respective officers.
Treasurer Ratakin and Commissioner
Birchard, respectively, were appointed
protem to the places made vacant. It
is claimed by members of the board
that the suspensions are made pending
a thorough investigation of the affairs
of the institution by an expert commit-
tee. The commissioaers have been in
secret session since last Sunday. They
found the books of the home in a se-
rious muddle. Irregularities and dis-
crepancies were apparent in the re-
cords of financial transactions, and
Commandant Keatley's accounts show
him to be in arrears several hundred
dollars, poesibly over $1.000.
Tbe disclosures have prostrated Col-
onel Keatley, but he avers that he will
satisfactorily account for everything
as soon as able to go through his
books. Temporary Cammandant Ra:
takin says a most searching investiga-
tion will be speedily instituted and the
business affairs of the Home probed to
the bottom.
Reckless management of this State
institution is openly charged and the
trouble has been brewing for months,

End of a Life of Exile.
The Comte de Paris Passes Away at Stowe
House.—Hs Fought Under MecClellan.—His
Gallant Services Won America’s Gratitude—
Twice Driven Into Exile by His Couniry—
A Historian of the Great Rebellion.
—
Lo~NpoN, Sept. 10.—The funeral of
the Comte de Paris who died at Stowe
House on Saturday, will take place on
Wednesday at Weybridge. At Wey-
bridge there is a Roman Catholic
chapel in which the bodies of Louis
Philippe and his wife were placed be-
fore being transferred to Dreux. It is
now believed that the body of the
Comte de Paris will, by permission of
the French government, by eventually
transported to Dreux. At Weybridge
the remains of the Comtesse de Ne-
mours. uncle of the Comte are
buried.
The death scene was most touching.
The Comtesse de Paris closed her hus-
band’s eyes, and all the princes and
princesses, in the order of their rank,
stepped forward and kissed the hand
of the dead man.
The body of the Comte de Paris re-
poses on the bed on which he died.
The tri-color flag over the triumphal
arch at the entrancg of the park at
Stowe House was half masted shortly
after the comte’s death,
The Comte de Paris was born Au-
gast 4, 1838. When he was but 4
years old his father was killed in a
carriage accident, In early infancy
his mother led him and his brother in-
to the chamber of deputies, only to be
expelled therefrom amid great confus-
ion. Compelled to flee, they found re-
fuge at Esenach in a country house be-
longing to the Grand Duke of Saxe-
Weimar.
They subsequently joined the exiled
king and queen in England. Oa the
death of Louis Philippe in 1850 the
comte became the pretender to the
French throne, He was educated un-
der the supervision of his mother, who
died while he was in his 20th year.
Visiting Spain soon afterward he for
the first time saw his cousin and fu-
ture wife, Marie Isabelle, daughter of
Duc de Montpensier.
Accompanied by his brother, the
Duke de Chartres, his uncle, Prince de
Joinville, and his cousin, Pierre
Philippe, Duc de Penthievre, the comte
came to this country, landing Sept. 14,
1861. The rebellion was well under
way and waiting for heroism. Al-
though his intentions of entering the
Union army were then not generally
known, he was received while on a
tour of sight seeing with much warmth
and enthusiasm. Returning from a
trip to the chief cities of the Union he
presented his sword to General McClel-
lan, commander of the army of the
Potomac, and he was appointed with
his brother, Duc de Chartres, on the
general’s staff with the rank of cap-
tain. Modesty and obedience marked
the duke’s service and won his chief’s
respect. Associated with him as a
fellow aid was General Horace Por-
ter.
His life thereafter was uneventful
until the outbreak of the Franco-Prus-
sian war in 1870. True to his patriotic
instincts he offered his sword to
France, but it was declined. Late in
1871, however, he obtained aseat in the
national assembly and was afterward
commissioned colonel and placed on
the retired list of the army. >
Two years later the count, as head
of the Orleans branch of the royal
family of France, met the Count de
Chambord, chief of the Bourbon
branch, which is the elder, and for-
mally recognized him as the head of
the French royal house and king, de
jure, of France. Ten years afterward
the Countde Chambord died, and the
Compte de Paris was recognized with-
out question by the Legitimists as heir
to the throne.
During his exile in England and
Spain the count devoted his leisure to
historic and economic authorship, his
Spanish estate becoming the center of
the family circle of Orleans relatives.
After the downfall of Napoleon one of
the first acts of the men who then con-
trolled the destinies of France was to
permit the Orleans princes to return
to their native country and to restore
the estate confiscated by Napoleon III.
Some $8,000,000 was voted to them as
an indemnity for the revenues they had
lost during their long exile. Of this
sum the Compte de Paris got his full
share, and he also came Into posses,
sion of his ancestral estate of Eu, near
the seaport of Le Treport, in Norman-
dy. Later however, with his family,
he was again expelled.
The Compte de Paris virited this
country a second time in 1890 to re-
fresh his memory on the old war
scenes. He was received by Collector
Erhardt at the port of New York with a
welcome in the name of the president
of the United States. Enthusiastic
demonstrations awaited the visitor ev-
erywhere, especially in Philadelphia.
A touching episode was his visit to the
tomb of General McClelland at Trenton,
whither he was accompanied by
George B. McClelland, Jr. It was rain-
ing, but scorning a proffered umbrella
he koelt with bowed head and clasped
hands at the foot of the grave, engaged
in silest prayer.
With his death his royal pretensions
fall to the inheritance of his oldest son,
Louis Philippe Robert, Duc d’ Orleans,
who accompanied the count on his sec:
ond visit to this country, and was ar-
rested a few years ago for returning to
France in defiance of the expulsion
act, His eldest daughter is queen of
Portugal.
