at this late hour a recapitulation. is -00t-
necessary to. carry conviction to you, if
you are an honest man.
The machine is resorting to all manner
The one that has
been uncovered in Centre county is the
effort of the notorious ‘‘Birdie’”” WARREN
to persuade the Grangers to vote for PAT-
TON, SCHOONOVER and STROHM because
their votes will be cast to return Senator
PENROSE to the United States Senate.
This in consideration of PENROSE’S sup-
port of the GROUT oleomargarine bill. It
is & pretty story and we are not surprised
of tricks to deceive you.
that a few of the prominent Grangers of
thd county have been caught by it, but we
are confident that ere election day dawns
these gentlemen will realize that the scheme
is only one to get two QUAY Representa-
tives and a QUAY Senator from this dis-
trist.
It will be necessary for every Democrat
in the county to go to the polls. . Don’t let
any engagement, whatever, keep you from
he there.” Your vote might'be “the one:
thas will elect the ticket. Centre has been’
entirely too close of late years to warrant
the old time idea that “the ticket will be
elepted whether I go or not.”
here is another phase of the situation
thas you should look at. You may not be
pelpoually interested in any of the caudi-
dafes this fall, bus aside from the allegiance
you should give your party ‘who knows how’
sodu you might be in the breach yourself or
have some very dear friend whom you will
want the very men to get ous and support
who are now so needful of your help.
It you have been approached hy any of
the political ‘huxsters who are peddling
money over the county in the interest of
PATTON and DRESSER your manhood has
certainly revolted at such methods and your
firss impulse has undoubtedly been to turn
in‘and work as you have never done before
to rebuke these boodlers.
First impulses are invariably the best.
There are others who have probably been
to see you, who have not offered yon mon-
ey, but bave proposed to make you the
clyb with which they would strike down
some particular nominee becanse of their
personal animosity toward him. You have
independence enough nob to be used for
such purposes, besides, when you strike at
any candidate on your ticket you strike at

rolling up a great majority in the county,
but because of the fact that if ten votes
are left at home in each precinct in the
county the entire Democratic ticket will,
in all probability, be defeated.
Get a vote wherever you can. Every
man on your ticket has more to recommend
him to the public than his opponent.
None of them will soffer by comparison
and you should be on hand to look after
their interests.
If you follow the advice we have given
you there will certainly be a glorious vic
tory for the people in Centre county next
Tuesday. If yon are indifferent to your

Dr. Reed’s Revolt,
The declaration of Rev. Dr. GEORGE ED-
WARD REED, president of Dickinson col-
lege, Carlisle, and State Librarian at Har-
risburg, in favor of Governor PATTISON
and against Judge PENNYPACKER as a can-
didate for Governor of Pennsylvania is the |
significant political event of the week.
Dr. REED is a Republican and not of the
type that can be described as ‘‘disappoint-
ed.’”” The office which he resigns in order
to indulge his preference of candidates hon-
orahly, is a most attractive one. The sal-
ary of it amounts to $3,000 a year and the
labor is so light that it scarcely interfered
with his other business, professional’ and
social engagements. In the nature of
things he could have held it indefinitely,
as his predecessor 1n office, Dr. EGLE did.
He has no other political ambitions or offi-
cial aspirations. As a matter of fact he
was contented in his public life.
But Dr. REED’S conscience wouldn't per- |.
mit him to continne his official relations
and political associations with the Repub-
lican machine. ‘‘My intention is to vote
for ROBERT E. PATTISON for Governor of
Pennsylvania,”’ he writes, ‘not because I
“! am a Democrat, but because I am a Repub-
can, and a Republican who in the present
condition of Pennsylvania politics believes
that he can better serve the party of his
life-long association—the party of his love
‘and devotion—by voting this year for PAT-
‘TISON and GUTHRIE rather than by vot-
ing for PENNYPACKER and ex-Senator
BROWN.”’ In other words he votes to pre-
serve the honor and integrity of his party
through temporary defeat rather than by
prostitutiog it to the base uses of QUAY
aod his pirates and looters by helping to
elect a ticket in the nomination of which
“the will of the Repul lican party was
thwarted and trampled urder feet.”
The action of Dr. REED is significant
and important becaase is reflects the senti-
ments of thousands of voters in the State
of Penusylvania. It indicates an arousing
of the conscience of the people, not among
the clergy and the educators,but among all
those of our citizenship which represents
the best in the life of the Commonwealth,
In a speech delivered in the Academy of
Music in Philadelphia oz Saturday even-
ing the Rev. Dr. ALBERTSON, of German-
town, declared thas there are 100,000 Inde-
pendent Republicans who, influenced by
conscience and christianity, will vote the
Democratio ticket. The action of Dr. REED
confirms that. statement, for it shows that
the influence which led the Germantown
preacher to throw off the ties that bound }
him to paity are ‘working the same result

that are being made to compass the defeat
‘of Capt: HuGH'S: TAYLOR for Sheriff of

‘the houorable ambition that prompts young
‘men to strive for success, .
Ot all the candidates in the field pioba-
bly none have been more maligned than
Capt. TAYLOR and from sources from
‘which such dishonorable methods were
‘least to he expected.
.the county some malicioys story or other
. In every section of
has been circulated. With deep cunning
these traducers have made stories thau they
thought would stir up prejudice in pai-
ticular localities, but the people of Centre
‘county are far too sevsible to he parties 10
such belittling efforts to stab a worthy
‘young man. We use the word worthy
‘herein its deepest, fullest sense, for the
writer has known Capt. TAYLOR since . his
boyhood and knows of no young man in
Centre county who has made a more laud-
‘able effort to succeed in life.
How well they have succeeded will be
seen next Tuesday and no one is less fear:
ful of the results that Capt. TAYLOR. . He
‘knows the people of Centre county and
they know him. Ever since he has come
into public life he has stood out in thefull
glare of public seratiny, for full welldid
he know thas. his past could not but reflect
credit upon him,

plodding, under burdens that would have
taken the heart out of less determined wen
until he “has attained a position in this
community that any young man might
‘aspire to.
Capt. TAYLOR is active in everything he
undertakes. The same spirit of eager
enthusiasm that has carried him to the fore
in the political arena pervades his busi-
ness and social life. He is a Mason, .is
prominent in the Odd Fellows and Wood-
men and helped to organize the new camp
of Red-Men in Bellefonte.
Iv isup to the fair minded people of
Centre county now as to whether they will
leave a few malicious stories that are abso-
‘lutely without foundation and should be
harled back into the teeth of their schem-
ing originators he the cause of with holding
their support from a man who deserves and
needs it. ;

“ico” Brown's Blaff.
“Oleo”! BROWN admitted in a speech at hi,
Bethlehem the other evening that his offer |
to contribute $1,000 to charity if Mr. GUTH-
RIE would draft a senatorial apportion-
ment hill in accordance with the provisions
of the constitution was a bluff predicated
on a trick. That is to say in commenting
on the drafvof a bill outlined by Mr. HEN- |
SEL in his Philadelphia speech ‘‘Oleo’’ de- |
‘clared that it was unconstitutional because
.it made a »eparate district of Lebanon coun-
ty the population of which doesn’t reach
half a senatorial ratio.” But Mr. HENSEL
proved that the spirit of the constitution
permits such an arrangement of Lebanon
county, even if the letter of the instrument
doesn’t and *‘Oleo’s’’ criticism was worth-
less
But it would be an easy matter to make
a senatorial apportionment free of the ob-
jections to which *‘Oleo’’ refers. In other
words there is nothing in the constitution
which forbids the division of a county in
‘making a senatorial apportionment, and
Luzerne county is divided iu the present
apportionment. That being true Lebanon
could be attached to Lancaster county and
absorbed in one of the districts of that
county which has two, though Berks coun-
ty; with a greater population; has only one,
Or if that would he unsatisfactory Lebanon
could be attached to Dauphin waking a
district of less population than the Berks
‘district and certainly one of no greater im-
oitance. AS Lebanon is the only trouble-
of it.
‘But. Lebanon county isn’t the real rea-
son for continuing the present atrocious
senatorial apportionment. It is continued
‘because there is no ‘conceivable way of
framing another half as bad. Under the
provisions of that bill the Republicans could
hold a majoiity in the Senate if the Dem-
ocrats had 200,000 majority on the vote of
the State for four consecutive years. Even
with nearly half the Republicans in revols,
ay they were at the opening of the last ses-
sion, the purchase of a Senator elected as a
Democrat gave them a majority, and after
that they had no trouble in controlling the
legislation during shesession. But BROWN
ought to be held to his agreement to givea
thousand dollars to charity for any bright
boy can work the result he suggested.

Mr. ROWE is another example of the
self-made young men of which the Demo-
craic ticket this fall presents so many dis-
tinguished examples. He was born in Pitts-
burg in 1860 and at the early age of nine
years hegan to get a glimpse of the stern
realities of life, when he went to work in
a glass factory. Three years of that work |

he enjoys the confidence of all.of the citi-
zens of that place, as will be shown by the
bandsome vote they will give him next
Tuesday.
Mr. ROWE is by nature peculiarly equip-
ped for the office of Recorder. He is young,
alert, of pleasing address and manner and
just the kind who will find no service for
the public too much trouble for him to
render.
