Hastings Parades as the Dictator of his
Party.
We have contended. ever since that
famous harmony treaty was patched up,
that HASTINGS is absolute dictator of the
Republican party in Centre county. In
fact, even before he caught Judge LovE
and his gang, the former Governor was
training for the day when his word would
be absolute in the Republican councils of
Centre.
His personal organ, the Republican,
promptly enough came out and said that
CoL. JOHN A. DALEY, of Curtin township,
was not a candidate for Legislature. Why?
Because Col. DALEY had said so? No!
that gentleman had not given the matter
serious. consideration, but was certainly
entitled to a renomination at the hands of
his party, had he desired it, until he was
given to understand by the Republican that
he need not apply. This would indicate
that even then HASTINGS had made up
his mind to run things after his own liking
and had had the plans for fooling the LovE
ont-fit well matured. It was far easier of
accomplishment than the former Governor
expected it would be and he is reported to
bave laughed outright when he discovered
how easy his former enemies were to
eapture.
That he is still laughing and glories in
the autocratic position he has won isshown
by his paper, the Republican,this week in a
eolumn editorial under the caption ‘‘Vote
for ALLISON, THOMPSON and Unity.” It
says :
The genii who directs the destiny of the politic-
cal party elected, however, that the Republican
party of Centre county was not to be perpetually
disunited and permanently incapacitated from
playing an active and dominant part in political
eontests in the county without a chance to recon-
struct its disorganized condition. Harmony
reigns where once discord held tull sway.
The leader selected a county ticket—or rather
two candidates for the Legislature—upon which
all Republicans could unite and consistently sup-
port. This action was accorded a" popular dem-
onstration of approval; it was enthusiastically
accepted at the county convention and the nom-
ination of Messrs Allison and Thompson was
unanimously endorsed.
So the Republican comes out openly and
flaunts DAN in the face of LOVE and
CHAMBERS and all their friends as the

publican party in Centre county and ‘‘the Galifornla.... 9 Qreg i Hoan - 4

Democratic National Chairman Says His Daily Reports from All Parts of the
Country Indicate Easy Majority in the Electoral College.
CHICAGO, Oct. 21.—At this stage of the canvass everything appears to be satis-
factory and I feel absolutely certain that Bryan and Stevenson will be elected hy a
large majority in the electoral college.
The Republicans are depending upon the use of money to debauch the elector-
ate in the same manner that they succeeded in doing four years ago, but it is my
opinion that they have not as much money to spend as they had in 1896 and even
if they had they would not be able to effect their purpose.
Forty years ago this Nation was confronted with problems tending to destroy
the character and form of the Government established by our fathers, If McKinley
is re-elected President it will mark the beginning of the end of the Republic.
imperialistic policy of the Republican party means destruction of the Government
established by Washington, Jefferson and Madison.
I think the anti-imperialistic movement in the Republican party is much more
serious and profound than was the mugwump movement in 1884 that defeated
Blaine, or the gold Democratic movement of 1896 that elected McKinley.
In 1884 and 1896 it was objections to candidates on purely domestic issues that

From these reports I feel satisfied that the Democrats will bave at least 257 in the

I feel absolutely satisfied that Bryan and Stevenson will be elected.
J. K. JONES,
Chairman National Democratic Committee.
On the Run.
If Republican bluff would win, then it
would be a loss of time and a waste of ef-
fort to attend the election. Bat it don’t.
| Fortunately, the people are not fools.
Blowing don’t convince, nor does the
boast of the fellow who is always bellow-
ing about what he will bet, impress any-
one. Usually the man without an argu-
ment falls back upon hullying or betting.
This is the resort of the Republicans in
this campaign. They don’t argue. They
cannot convince. They dare not explain.
The trusts, the syndicates and the interests
that are enriched by robbing the people
have furnished a fund for bluffing purposes
and MARK HANNA'S henchmen are using
it for all there is in it. It is not hegause
there is any certainty of success, but to
stiffen up their wavering columns, to en-
courage the doubtful, to create the belief
that they will win, that so much stress is
being placed on the matter of betting.
The fact that HANNAISM has been driv-
en to this extreme should be the greatest
encouragement to ‘Democrats. It only
shows they have him on the run and to
what efforts he must resort to rally his
straggling and demoralized forces.
Shouldn’t We Be Proud of It?
Possibly we have reason to be proud of
our expanding businezss under the reign
of McKINLEY. And possibly we have not.
Of the two and a half million dollars of
exports from this country to the Philip- |
pines during the past year, twenty-five per
cent was composed of whiskey, wine and
. wrong; only on the fourth has its positions
issues are, first, that called imperialism;
f
beer for the officers and soldiers of the:
army.
The coffins sent out in which to return
the dead bodies of our own murdered sol-
diers amounted to over five per cent of our |
total exports, and if we deduct the other
articles, such as clothing, food, shoes, medi-
cines and general supplies that ve have
furnished for the sole use of the army, we
will find that under Mr. McKINLEY’S ex-
pansion we have exported to, and sold in,
the Philippine islands, less of American |
products, and American manufactures than
was sold in those islands, in the same length
of time, during the past forty years.
That whiskey to demoralize and coffins
ception and disgraceful policy, should be
the principal articles of export, is a matter
that but few Republicans care to hear
ahout.
Stevenson Claims Bryan’s Election.
Gives Out Statements in Which New York and Ohio :
Lean to Democrats.—/ndiana is Beyond Doubt.
Adlai E. Stevenson, who returned .
to Chicago yesterday from his campaigning
trip through the Eastern States, in an in-
terview spoke enthusiastically of the Dem-
ocratic activity in the Sates through
which he had passed. Mr. Stevenson
made the flat-footed declaration that the
Democrats would carry Indiana, and he
added :
!
“Ohio should be put down as very likely
to give its electoral votes for Bryan.
my mind the two great doubtful States
which lean more strongly to the Democrat-
ic than to the Republican side in this fight
are New York and Ohio.”
Mr. Stevenson then made the following
giimate of the situation as it stands to-
ay :

TRENTON, N. J., Oct., 23.—Ex-Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland, in an interview

Declares That the Administration Is Avowedly
Wrong on Three of the Great National Issues.
NEw HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 23.—Prof.
George Trumbull Ladd, head of the depart-

being received by the Japanese Emperor
and lecturing in the National Universities
of India. In response to a request to-night
he gave the following answer to the ques-
tion : “Why should a college man vote for
Bryan ?”’
‘There are at present four great na-
tional issues before the people, on three of
which the administration has, in my judg-
ment, been avowedly and consistently

hearted and vacillating way. These four
second, taxation and class legislation;
third, civil service, and fourth, the cur-
rency.
*‘So far already has the public conscience
vecome degraded upon imperialism that
approved candidates for the highest posi-
tion in the Government are on record as
holding the unAmerican,and even hideous-
ly immoral, political tenets that you can
buy other people’s rebellious subjects,call
them rebels against you, and then proceed
to ravage their lands, destroy their homes
and kill them for continuing their long
and loyal struggle for _independence.
“The second great issue before the peo-
ple I have called that of class legislation.
Next to using the armed forces of the Na-
tion for the conquests of distant lands and
weaker races,in its danger to our Republi-
can institutions, is the use of the legal arm
of the Government for the furtherance at
home of the interests of favored classes.
The chief magistrate of the present admin-
istration is the greatest living representa-
tive of this dangerous policy. He has for
years heen a willing and consistent instru-
ment for securing legislation in the inter-
ests of favored classes.
‘The third great issue is that of the puri-
fication of the civil service. We asa peo-
ple are being most deeply injured in repu-
tation and in character, because iour Gov-
ernment, National and State and munici-
pal, is so largely carried on by those who
are in it for the spoils and who are neither

of the present administration, the majority
of them rather than the President himeelf,
are upon the right side.

issues is the most distinctively moral, and

Rabbi Turns to Bryan.
| Has For Four Years Regretted His McKinley Vote.
—Thinks That, Whether a Panic Come or Not, the
Republic Must Be Maintained.
Boston, Mass., Oct, 23—Rabbhi Charles
i Fleischer, one of the most prominent He-
' brews in this country, has deserted Me-
Kinley, for whom he voted four years ago,
and is now strongly supporting Bryan.
In an interview to-day Rabbi Fleischer
said : ‘‘In taking the position I have taken
I feel that I have not espoused the cause
of Bryan so much as the cause of my coun-
t1y and of Democracy—spelled with a very
+ large ‘D’.
REGRETS VOTE FOR M’KINLEY.
‘‘Four years ago I voted for McKinley,
and I have spent some part of these past
four years in Tegretting that vote. When
that culminated in what to me seems an
open, high-handed abandonment of Ameri-
ca’s fandamental principles, no choice was
left to me except to join those who protest-
ed against such un-Democratic proceed
—and..who themselves to
bring America back to Americanism.’
FOLLY TO FEAR RUIN.
‘‘Every other consideration must be sub-
ordinated to the absolute and immediate
necessity of maintaining America as a con-
sistent, constitutional Republic.
“It is sheer folly to fear, or to pretend
to fear, the ruin of this country in the
event of Bryan's election. A short-lived
panic might ensue, caused mainly by the
dismal predictions of those whose artificial
privileges would be interfered with by a
change of Administration, and caused in
part by the unstable nature of our entire
economic system.
HARD TIMES EITHER WAY.
‘‘Hard times will come during the next
four years, even if McKinley is re-elected.
And better times will come again even un-"|
der President Bryan. In any case, give
me a decade of material hardships and
suffering, with our country’s Democracy
untainted, rather than a century of un-
bounded prosperity under an Imperialistic
Republic.”

Changes in Star Routes Throughout Cen-
tre County.
A change in the policy of the Post Office
Department regarding the letting of mail
carrying contracts which has just heen an-
nounced, is of great interest to the people of
this county.
The change consists of giving out these
contracts only to persons living in the com.
munity in which the mail isto be carried.
This plan, it is hoped, will do away with
the sub-letting of contracts by the original
grantees.
An official circular received at the Belle-
fonte post office contains particulars for
those who wish to bid for these contracts.
No bid will be considered unless the bid-
der resides on or contiguous to the route
on which ‘the service is to be performed
and promises to give his personal supervis-
ion to the service. In addition to carrying
the mails to the various post offices, the
carriers on each route will also be required
to deliver mail into all boxes that may be
erected along the route under the following
conditions :
Any’ person living on or near the Star
Route herein described, and not within the
corporate limits of any town, or within 80
rods of any post office who desires his mail
posted in a box on the line of the route by
the carrier, may provide and erect a suit-
able hox on the road side to be reached as
conveniently as practicable by the carrier.
Under the new contract the carrier will
be required to deliver mail to the farmers
along the route, provided the person files.a
request with his postmaster.
Bids for carrying of the mails over the
different routes must he in the Depart-
ment’s bands by December 4th, 1900, the
service to begin July Ist, 1901.
The foregoing explains itself fully as
a much needed change. It is sincerely
hoped that it may be put into working or-
der as soon as possible.
Following is a list of Star Routes in'Cen-
tre county, with the prices paid to the
contractor, and, also. that paid by him to

WHITE—CUNNINGHAM. — A beautiful
wedding that attracted many guests from a
distance and one of more than ordinary in-
terest took place, Wednesday evening, in
the Methodist Episcopal church at Pleasant
Gap when Miss Eliza J. White, daughter

ham of Philadelphia.
