Wny Was He Nominated ?
Just why the Republican county
convention deemed it the proper thing
to do to nominate Mr. ABranam Var:
gxTINE MILLER as the candidate of
’
that party for Prothonotary ie a politi.
cal conundrum that is worrying the
brains of Republicans in all parts of !
the couuty. . :
They know, and they know that the
bosses who made him the nominee
know, that it was not Belause of. any
particular fitness or any special, quali.
fications he may pegess to discharge
2 Pant duties of that office that
indt his nomination ; tor the sim-
ple reason that there is scarcely a Re.
publican voter in the county, no mat
ter what his condition or situation, who
is not immeasurably better fitted in
every way for that place than is Mr.
MILLER.
They koow that it is not, because of
any obligations the party is-under to
him that secured him the place on the
ticket, because his party has been bet-
ter to him than he has been to it. He
is one of the few Republicans of the
county who has already been favored
beyond his deserts by his party and
yet because he could not have uvery-
thing within reach and be kept con®
stantly in place he was ingrate enough
to openly &nd viciously oppase part of
his own ticket last fall. If that oppo-
+ sition nad been oa account of any prin-
ciple or for any other reason than that
he failed to be appointed to a place un-
der the last Republican administration,
there would be some excuse for his
apostacy and it would not be referred
to here. ;
They know too that it was not on ac.
count of his soldier record, for that is
one of the last things that either Mr.
MILLER or those who have made him
the candidate will want to refer too.
As Mr: MILLER was not nominated
because of his fitness, or for the reason
that party loyalty entitled him to this
distinction, or on account of having an
honorable army record. Why was ke
nominated ?
Was this nomination made by a
trade? Was it a dicker that was
made necessary to hold certain influen-
tial Republican politicians, who were
close to MILLER and who have become
disgusted with the Republican Admin-
istration, from declaring against the
methods of the Bellefonte bosses ?
Ivlooks that way.
Foolish Advisers.
The trouble with labor organizations
is that they so seldom get men of good
sense to lead them and direct their
councils. The result 1s that many
foolish things are done in the supposed
interest of labor, and workingmen suf-
fer in consequence. ye
"PowbpERLY proved himself “to be a
visionary and impractical leader.
Guvperr and DEBs turned out to be
mischievous demagogues, and SouvEer®
EIGN shows what a foolish fellow he is,
by the kind of advice he gives the
Knights of Labor.
The latest example of his folly is his
advising the working people to bo ycott
national bank notes. His purpose is
to help the cause of silver, but it would
be impossible for him to show how
good can be done, in any way, to any
one, by refusing to receive or circulate
the proper money issued by the na-
tional banks.
There may eventually be occasion
for modifying the present banking sys-
tem and for changing the kind of paper
money used as a circulating medium,
but that any desirable object could be
effected by boycotting the national
bank notes, or that workingmen
would be foolish enough to decline to
take them, is a preposterous notion.
Notwithstanding the advice given by
SOVEREIGN, it i8 possible that the offer
of a ten dollar national bank note, or
even one of a lower denomination,
would strongly tempt him to go back
on the boycott he advises.
SN ———
——A pew use for the judiciary has
been developed in the disgraceful row
that is in progress between the Repub-
lican factions. It used tc be thought
that courts and judges were exclusive:
ly intended for the administration of
the law, but in regard to the new
Superior Court it has become evident
that the principal object of its creation
was to supply a batch of judges whose
appointment could be used for the pro-
motion of the Governor's political de-
signs.
Political Ruffianism in England.
Englishmen have a good deal to say
about lawlessness prevailing in the
United States, and, as instances of it,
point to cases of mobs taking the law
into their own hands. There is some
ground for these charges, and reform
in this respect would not be out of
place, but the English critics would
have enough to do if they should give
their attention to some reforms that
are greatly needed at home.
Particularly do the English election
customs need reformation. Things
are done in conducting their political
campaigng that would be considered
disgraceful even by an American mob.
There is not an election for members
of Parliament that does not bring out
a shamefal display of British ruffian-
ism. Candidates are not only insulted,
but they are actually assaulted. When
a speaker makes his appearance before
"an audience to talk in the interest of
his candidate or his party, the op posi-
tion usually greets him with groans
and hisses and opprobrious exclama-
tions, and not infrequently he is made
the object of missiles thrown for the
purpose of injuring or defiling him.
Rotten eggs and decayed vegetables are
the favorite forms of such compliments
paid by an English political -mob. It
is difficult for a Parliamentary candi.
date to go through a campaign without
personal insult or ipjury. DICKENS
description of an English hustings was
not an exaggeration, he having drawn
his inimitable picture from realities
that present themselves in every Par
liamentary contest.
It is remembered how only a year or
two ago Mr. GLapstoNE had one of his
eyes nearly blinded by a missile
throsn at a political meeting, and an
incident of the Parliamentary election
now in progress was an attack made
the other day on Mr. Riper HAGGARD,
the noted literary character, while he
was canvassing in the Conservative in-
terest, and even so high a public char-
acter as SIR WiLLiaM HARrcourT was
treated in the same ruffianly manner.
Some years ago the Queen’s son-in-law,
the Marquis of Lorn, was greeted with
a shower of rotten eggs when he made
his appearance at a political meeting
and asked for the suffrage of the
crowd.
Such conduct would be impossible
in the United States. It is charged
that there is a great deal of corruption
and chicanery in American politics, but
there is certainly no ruffianism. The
Americans enjoy their right of suffrage
with decency and in good order. There
is enough respect for opposite opinion
to check anything like violent inter-
ruption, and in this respect the free
and intelligent people of this country
set an example which it would be well
for English political parties to follow.

The Republican County Convention.
The Quay People Had the Combine on the Run.
—Hastings Lieutenants Seared for the Tims
Being—Quay Resolutions Read.—Al Dale Did
the Business,
The Republican convention of Cen-
tre county accembled in the Court
House Tuesday. More interest was
manifested in it than any similar gath-
ering ot Republicans has ever occasion-
ed iu the county. This was more on ac-
count of the anticipated trouble between
the Quay and Hastings elements than
to any particular interest or enthusiasm
in the party. County Chairman W. E.
Gray called the convention to order.
The roll showed an attendance of every
delegate but one. This gave the con-
vention 120 members, the delegates
from Milesburg having been denied
standing because of irregularityin their
election brought about by the chair-
man’s “slick” scheme.
The Quay men from Philipsburg oc-
cupied prominent seats and looked de-
fiant behind enormous badges.—on
which appeared the significant expres.
gion, “We are Republicans and wear
no man’s collar.” Close by their side
eat the lone delegate from South Phil-
ipsburg, sporting a badge cn which
was printed, “Quay never touched me.
Hastings and Bennison, South Philips-
burg.” It was like flaunting a red flag
before a bull but the Quay people bid-

Tom Donachy, Jim McClure and oth-
er South Ward Quay men, of ten days
before, were in the convention as Hast-

fonte Councils, was made chairman of
the meeting, and as is customary at
such gatherings promised Republican
victory in the fall. He prayed fo “u-
nanimity of spirit” while looking dubi-
ously at the Quay coterie, and then
proceeded with the routine of organiz-
ing the convention. Joseph T. Bar-
ton, of Unionviile, and Andrew Gregg,
Jr., a young Potter township worker,
who was converted to Hastings only a
few days ags, the price possibly being
the office to which lie was chosen, were
made secretaries. Harry Keller, Esq.,
was chosen reading clerk, and the con-
vention was ready for business. The
first motion presented was one to refer
all resolutions to the committee on
resolutions, which was appointed with
Dr. George W. Atherton, president of
the Pennsylvania State College, at its
head. This was a move to defeat the
reading of minority resolutions.
QUAY RESOLUTIONS "PRESENTED.
At this juncture there was a lull in
tif convention, which Steeie Crissman,
of Philipsburg, seized to present his re-
solutions. There was an uproar at once,
that so rattled the reading clerk that
he forgot the preconcerted scheme to
refer them to committee without read-
ing and began to read them as follows :
We, the Republicans of Centre county, in
convention assembled, recognizing the emi-
nent ability of Hon. M. S. Quay as a leader
and fully appreciating his past services to the
party, both in the State and nation.
Resolve, That - the delegates this day “elec-
ted to represent Centre county atthe State
Convention be and are hereby instructed to
vote for Hon. M: 8. Quay for chairman of the
State central committee and employ all honor-
able means to secure his election.
Resolved, That the unflinching and deter-
mined stand he has taken in the national
councils for protection to American industries,
and the interests of the people generally, en-
titles him to the respect and confidence, not
only of the citizens of this Commonwealth,
but the people of the whole country.
Resolves, That it is our duty, under all cir:
cumstances, to show our gratitude to Colonel
Quay, the soldier who so fully responded
to his country’s call in its hour of peril.
Resolved, That the interests he has at all
times manifested in the welfare of the ve-
terans of our late war should at this time call
forth the hearty and united support of his
former companions in arms. :
Resolved, That in view of the approaching
Presidential campaign it is especially impor-
tant thatthe Republican party have the ad-
vantage of the skilled .and experienced lea-
dership of Senator Quay and we, therefcre,
call upon all Republicans, throughout the
State, to rally to his support in the present
contest.
RESOLUTIONS ‘PROMPTLY DESTROYED.’.
At every mention of Quay's name
there was a howl trom the Philips-
burg quarter, and an aniwering hiss
from other sections of the auditorium.
When the resolutions were concluded,
some one moved to lay them on the
table for a year, but they were referred
to the proper committee, where they
“were promptly destroyed,” as county
chairman Gray said afterwards.
Nominations for State delegates
were then made, Hastings and Benni-
son’s names having been presented by
John Gowland and seconded by Cal.
Pifer, the only colored delegate
present.” Captain Simler, of Philips-
burg, nominated Victor Gray and A.
A. i During the ballot there was
continuous cheering as the names of
the administration or Quay candidates
were voted for, and when Joe Barton,
a Unionville delegate, got mixed in his
response, and tangled Hastings’ name
up with Bennison’s so as to sound like
“Hastings and Dennis,” he unwitting-
ly struck terror to the hearts of the
Governor's lieutenants.
The vote resulted 108 to 12, and
Hastings and Bennison were declared
elected. The Philipsburgers, having
been satisfied that their resolutions
had been scapped on the convention,
agreed to concur in making the nom-
ination unanimous, and it was done.
For the county offices A. V. Miller,
of State College, received the Prothon-
otary nomination over C. F. Dein-
inger, of Centre Hall, Grant Hoover
having withdrawn. The vote stood 86
to 34. H. C. Quigley, of Bellefonte,
Hastings’ protege, was nominated b
acclamation for District Attorney. W.
E. Gray was re-elected county chair-
man for the ensuing year, and Colonel
J. P. Coburn, W. E. Gray and W. L.
Malin were appointed Congressional
Conferrees. .
This coucluded the work of the con-
vention and it was then ready to hear
the report of the Committee on Resolu-
tions. They included the usual at-
tacks on everything Democratic, claim-
ed all credit for having freed the slaves,
lauded Hastings, Gilkeson and Beaver
to the skies and laid claim to the ma.
terializing fruits of the Wilson bill.
AFRAID TO MAKE SPEECHES ,
This done the convention adjourned
without having listened to a single
speech. The absence of any oratorical
effort was accounted for by the exis-
tence of a difference of sentiment
among the delegates. Though the
Hastings people were in the majority,
they were afraid of provoking the
wrath of the Quayites present who
made themselves heard frequently dur-
ing the session.
| To one unacquainted with the facts
| the machine seemed well oiled, but it
i wag only through the utmost concil-
j iatory efforts that the creaking that
i was heard after adjournment did not
begin in convention.

ted with the Gilkinson Detective Bureau
of Pittsburg, who with lawyer Hartman
arrested the jail breaker at Scotia the
other day, was in town yesterday eve-
ning and went west- on fast line. The
name of the man arrested is Simon Gons-
choir, but he was known as Simon Dur-
shot at Scotia, and in other places has
been known as Josef Schenck and as
Josef Swierz. Alexander says the man
admitted after being arrested that he is
the man who broke jailin Germany but
insisted that he had nothing to do with
blowing the prison up. This of course
establishes the fact that they caught the
right man, and the evidence alone of
Alexander and Hartmar at the hearing
before the Unitéd States commissioner
at New York to-morrow will probably
be sufficient in the mind of that officer
to justify the issuing of extradition
papers for the delivery of Goaschoir to
the authorities in Germany.
As to the authority for arresting the
criminal the New York World of Sat-
urday states “The German Consul in
this city put the case in the hands of
Dulon & Rce, lawyers, of No. 115
Broadway, who assigned it to Carl Hart-
mat, of their firm. This gentleman got
a warrant from United States commis-
sioner Lyman for the arrest of the man,
and he got himself made a Deputy Uni-
ted States Marshal to serve it. Then he
went to Pittsburg and enlisted the aid
of Gilkinson’s detective agency.” The
story of the arrest has been told in these
columns.
Statements as the exact character of
the crime committed by Gonschoir dif-
fer somewhat. One story indicates that
he blew up with dynamite a police sta-
tion and engine house adjoining the jail
from which he escaped, and that an of-
ficer was badly injured by the explosion
but finally recovered. Another state-
ment is that he blew up the jail, and a
third is given by the World as follows :
“It is charged that he put a dynamite
cartridge in the house of a game-keeper
who had arrested him at Lugman, Si-
lesia, Prussia, for poaching, and attach-
ed a time fuse to it. The man was ar-
rested, charged with arson and with
assault with intent to kill. At first he
laughed at the charge, but when he
heard the evidence that the Government |
had he broke jail and fled to this coun.
A NIGHT OF BURGLARIEs.—Sunday
night was a propitious one for house
breakers. The heavy rain showers that
fell from time to time drove people from
the streets and lent an additional pro-
tection, with the intense darkness, to
men who make a business of robbery.
This class made many trials Sunday
night,’but with little success, aside from
the terrible scaring the occupants of
some of the houses visited received.
The first house entered was that of
Mrs. Louisa Bush, on Spring -street.
The burglars had not secured anything
there when they were discovered in Mrs.
Calloway’s room. She screamed loud
enough to awaken George Weaver, who
lives across the street, and Dr. R. G.
Hayes, next door. Both gentlemen
hurried to answer her call for ‘help’
and the former saw a man run out of
the Bush yard just as he stepped out on-
to the pavement. Officer Montgomery
was there a few moments later and 'twas
not long until the whole neighborhood
was arouséd. Al Hoffman happened
along about that time, but had seen no
one running in the direction indicated
by Mr. Weaver. He had come from
that quarter himself.
The homes of Col. Fred Reynolds and
J. H. Lingle, both on Linn street, were
entered during the night. The former
place was entered through a kitchen
window, but the burglars could get no
further for all the doors leading to the
main part of the house were locked.
They went from the kitchen into the
cellar and so far as is known took noth-
ing more than a mess of berries which
they ate in the kitchen.
Lingle’s house was entered through a
parlor window that was pried open.
Several meerschaum pipes and silver
trinkets were undisturbed in the par-
lor and in the dining room the burglars
audaciously turned on the electric light
to see what was to be seen, but went on
to the kitchen without disturbing any
of the silverware on the side-board and
left by a back door, without taking any-
thing or awakening the family.
Lew McQuistion swears that they en-
tered the empty half of their house, on
west High street, and were about to
start up the stairs to his room when he
saw them and frightened them off. He
was awake with neuralgia most of the
night and was attracted by the noise
the persons made down stairs.
W. B. Miles & Son’s store at Miles-
burg was broken into the same night.
There the thieves broke the cash register
and procured less than $1 in pennies.
They were frightened off before they
had taken anything else. .
The singular part of the burglaries is
that they scarcely merited the name.
Who ever did the work is hardly more
than a prowler for the indications point
to the fact that nothing more needed
gratification than curiosity or a mania
for house breaking. From all reports
nothing valuable was taken any place.
The story that Frank Warfield’s house,
on Linn street, was entered is a ‘‘can-
ard,” according to Mr. Warfield’s own
statement.
——Dr. J. I. Woods Jr., has deter-
mined to locate permanently at Boals-
burg, and bas taken the office formerly
occupied by his deceased father. He
will be pleased to receive a share of the
patronage of the public in that section
of the county.
