RII PASSA.
Standing on His Record.
~
Possibly the greatest service Judge LovE
ever rendered the voters of Centre county
was uawittingly performed by that gen-
tleman on Tuesday, June 14th, in the
court houee in Bellefonte. It was upon
the occasion of the county convention of
the Republican party, when he had been
called upon for a speech shat he made the
following statement : ‘‘Notwithstanding
the declarations to the contrary, this cours
is not in politics. I am nos afraid to stand
on the record I have made during the past
ten years of service as your president
judge.” He substantially reiterated this
expression at a festival in the court house
yard on Saturday evening, Seps. 10th.
We admire Judge LOVE'S fearlessness
but we pity the thoughtlessness that led
bim into making the issue for this cam-
paign his record. “Without reserve or quali-
fication he invited an investigation of his
official acts and practically asked the vot-
ers of Centre county to pass upon shem
without thought of political or personal
preference.
As was stated in the last issue of this
paper it is not the intention of the WATCH-
MAN to malign Judge LOVE'S personal
character, nor deprecate his ability as a
lawyer, but he has invited a searching in-
quiry into his official conduct and that we
propose to make in order that all the
things that he has evidently forgotten may
be recalled to take their place in making
up this record of ten years upon which he
stands with such ill advised confidence.
IN 1895, scarcely six months after he had
donned the judicial ermine, we find Judge
Love layipg the foundations upon which
he has continuously heen building at a
political machine after his own model. It
will be remembered that that was the year
in which the late Governor HASTINGS, who
was then in the gubernatorial mansion at
Harrisburg, was associated with DAVID
MARTIN, of Philadelphia, and CHRIS MA-
GEE, of Pittsburg, in the combination for
the laudable purpose of ridding Pennsyl-
vania of QUAYism.
Delegates to the state convention were
to be chosen and of all districts supposed
to stand with the Governor in his fight his
home county was expected to be foremost.
But wasits0? No, indeed! Opposition
of the fiercest kind. Opposition that re-
sulted in a party convention that almost
broke up in a fight. While Judge Love
bad taken no open band in the affair it was
well known thas he secretly used every
pressure he could bring to bear to defeat
the election of HASTINGS and BENNISON,
as state delegates.
IN 1896. Early in the spring of this
year we find this same Judge who ‘‘is not
in politics’’ bringing all pressure possible
to bear to defeat the late WILBUR F.
REEDER for the endorsement of Centre
county for Cougress. Judge LOVE was
for ARNOLD at that time and it was largely
through the comfort he gave the DuBois
mau that the split resulted in that April
convention when STEELE CRISSMAN and
his friends left the ball. In June of that
same year we find him entering into politics
in order to defeat an attempt to endorse the
HASTING’S administration at Harrisburg
through the resolutions in the county con-
vention. Ib fact reference to these resolu-
tions will reveal the scant praise that the
former Governor got from his home county
and also that it was the LOVE faction that
defeated the HASTING’S delegates in the
North ward, the home of the latter.
Ix 1897. Early in this third year of his
term we find Judge LOVE greatly pertarh-
ed over the ontcome of the expeusive con-
test which A. V. MILLER instituted to try
torob W. M. CRONISTER of the office of
sheriff to which he bad been elected. It
was Judge LOVE’s partisan ruling at that
time that encouraged the contest and fin
ally saddled a great bill of costs on the
county, The reflex of this action was seen
in the vote in Bellefonte at the following
February election when the voters rebuk-
ed Love and his lieutenant, CHAMBERS,
by defeating the latter for burgess. This
leads us on to the next pernicious med-
dling in polities which our cours, who is
not in politics. has been guilty of. We
hint at the case of John THOMPSON the dis-
graced and discredited Legislator whose
political perfidy was partly accomplished
through the machinations of Judge LoVE.
For want of space in this issue this
chain of evidence will be continued next
week. Not for any other purpose than to
present facts in controvertion of Judge
Love's own declaration that he has not
been in politics and is not afraid to stand
on his record. What he has been in the
past is only a fair gnide to what he will be
in the future and for that reason every vot-
er in Centre county should be fully in-
formed on this most important question.
“Repose’’—That Beautiful Gift.
One of the prevailing weaknesses of the
present day, among the rising generation,
is this constant uneasy spirit—commonly
called ‘‘nervousness’’—which in itself,
is merely an abominable habit which many
acquire, only through thoughtlessness as
well as heedlessness.
With the drumming of restless fingers,
shoving and tapping of the feet, jingling
of keys, throwing stones at animals oraim-
lessly through the air, chewing sticks,
touching and handling articles within
reach and thus the unoffending fingers ply
diligently through childhood until maturi-
ty is reached, and like the ‘‘little peach of
emerald hue’’ the habit grows and grows,
until the poor creatures are branded as
nervous wrecks. When we look over a
gathering of ladies and gentlemen, how few
do we observe who are actually sitting in
repose. One may be rocking rapidly, at
the same time bringing the feet down with
a thud, ‘and at each motion calling into
requisition the head which moves involun-
tarily. Again we see a gentleman playing
the ‘‘devil’s tattoo’’' ow his chair with his
knuckles, (most charming music for the
sensitive ear of his neighbor.) again a lit-
tle Miss removes her has pins aud adjusts
them twenty times.
Another,” with each introduction of a
remark, gives a labored or mauufactur-
ed cough, which startles many vear him,
another removes her back comb and with
is drums with restless fingers a popular air
upon her thamb nail. Even more, this
endless and thoughtless touching or hand-
ling habit has come to a decided point
when the store keeper muss either pus his
goods in glass cases, or employ ‘sentinels,
or the shopper must be warned by a placard
‘‘Hands off!”’ suggestive tho’ it seems, it
certainly is an evidence that we are in-
formed something is wiong with the shop-
per. Not the merchant, as he only uses
this precaution to defend his wares.
Imagine the loss of fine laces, or kindred
beauties, by being “toyed” with one
thousand black gloves in a day. Can we
help but remark that the bands are equal-
ly unruly as the tongue.
Hence we will add, if one wishes to be
attractive, and admired for one’s grace,
cultivate repose of manner.
Consideration Unearned.
We cannot withhold from Jadge PARK-
ER an expression of admiration for the
chivalry which impelled him to protect
his ansagonist against any personal abuse
in the Democratic campaign book.
‘“There shall be no word in it,” writes
Judge PARKER, to the literary burean of
his party committee ‘‘thas reflects upon the
personal honor and integrity of President
ROOSEVELT.” ' Nothing could be more ad-
mirable than this evidence of a disposition
to avoid dirty politics. Personally RoosE-
VELT may be beyond just criticism and per-
sonal abuse of him might have been a form
of vilification. Neither the Democratic
‘candidate nor the Democratic party wants
that sort of a campaign.
Bus after all, is THEODORE ROOSEVELT
entitled to sush a mark of consideration as
the bands of his competitor in the cam-
paign? So far as we have been able to
trace his record, the Republican candidate
for President has not been over nice in the
treatments of hie rival or the leaders of the
party opposed to him. As a matter of
fact, the campaign book issued by the Re-
publican National committee only a few
weeks ago, goes far out of the way to tra-
duce Judge PARKER and in his letter of |
acceptance, Mr. ROOSEVELT inferentially
endorses the slander. Not only that, bus
he misrepresents every conspicuous Demo-
oratic action of recent years and deliberate-
ly maligns moss of the Democratic leaders.
The scriptural injunction to turn the
other cheek is a beautiful conception in
theory. But in practice, a swift kick is
more effective. On the whole, we are glad
that Judge PARKER has assumed the atti-
tude on the subject expressed in his letter
to the literary burean of the Democratic
National commiteee. Ttexpresses the de-
cent impulse and, as a rule, that is good
politics. There is probably no man in the
country who could have better mes a rough
and tumble, catch as catch can campaign.
His life has been blameless, whether
considered from a public or private view-
point and his character is unassailable.
ROOSEVELT would be extremely fortunate
if his were similarly clean.

Wednesday's Democratic Meeting.
Centre coanty Democrats formally open-
ed the campaign in this county Wednes-
day afternoon at Grange park when a mon-
ster meeting was held under the personal
direction of the county committee. Though
Wednesday is never considered the big
day at the encampment the crowd on that
day this week was unusually large and
and was made np of voters from all parts
of the county who came to hear the real
issues of the present’ campaign ably and
intelligently discussed. A large crowd
from this place, accompanied by the Cole-
ville band went over to the park ona
special train at 10.30. At Lemont they
were joined by the State College band and,
with the Coburn and Penn Hall bands
already on the ground, there was no lack
of inspiring music
The meeting was called at 1 o’clock hy
county chairman H. S. TAYLOR. Col.J.L.
SPANGLER was elected to preside and with
him on the platform were the speakers for
the afternoon and many of the party work-
ers in the county. Col. SPANGLER intro-
duced as the first speaker Hon. JoHN H.
Fow, of Philadelphia. Mr. Fow spoke
for more than an hour and, though the
auditorium waa crowded to its fullest ca-
pacity, so interesting and argumentative
was the speaker that not a man left the
building. Mr. Fow indulged in no per-
sonal abuse of any candidate but confined
himsell to stating facts abons the Republi-
can administration, State and National,
and told some very convincing truths
about the trickery and debauchery pursued
in Philadelphia for years past; and Mr.
Fow declared he knew these things to be
true because he bad been counsel in many
cases in which the defendants admitted
their guilt, but they always were allowed
to go free.
As this junctare Col. SPANGLER might
was delayed in delivery and did not reach
him in time to be the greeting that New
York Democracy intended it should be.

The other. speakers of the day were
Senator Ep. M. HERBST, of Berks county,
who made a brief speech in Pennsylvania
Dutch, and that is the reason we don’t re-
port it, and Hon. JAMES A. GLEASON, of
Clearfield county. With three cheers for
PARKER and DAVIS the meeting adjourned
in time to permit Bellefouters to return on
the regular evening train.
I
Reconvened Democratic Convention,
Parsuant to the call of county
chairman H. 8. Taylor the Democratic

by the death of Senator A. E. Patton.
Col. J. L. Spangler, who was chairman
of the convention last June, presided and
called the convention to order promptly at
11 o’clock, Secretary H. J. Jackson read
the call and on motion of W. C. Heinle,
the calling of the roll was dispensed with,
but there was almost a fall turn ons of
delegates present. Chairman Spangler
then announced the purpose of the conven-
sion when Senator Heinle offered the fol-
lowing resolution: i .
Bellefonte, Pa., Sept. 20th.
Resolved, That J. C. Meyer, M. I. Gard-
ner and James Schofield be elected the con-
ferees for Centre county to nominate a can-
didate for the Senate for the 34th district,
to fill the vacancy caused by the death of
Senator A.E. Patton, and that they go to the
conference uninstructed.
The resolution was adopted and the
chairman announced the business of the
convention finished. Before adjournment
brief but enthusiastic addresses were made
by Senator W. C. Heinle, Hon. Jas. Scho-
field, D. F. Fortney, T. C. Hipple, of Lock
Haven, J. C. Meyer, Capt. H. 8. Taylor

THE GRANGE ENCAMPMENT. —The 31st
annual encampment of the Central Penn-
sylvania Patrons of Husbandry was held
at Grange park this week and in point of
attendance, exhibits, etc., proved as suc-
cessful as any held in recent years. The
grounds never were in such good condition
as they were this year, there being very
little dust and no mud. The rain ail day
Tuesday kept the crowd away so thas there
really were bnt two good days of the pio-
nic—Wednesday and yesterday—and each
day ahout twenty-five hundred people were
present. Each day’s exercises in the audi-
torium, from the preaching of the harvest
bome sermon on Sunday by Rev. G. W.
Melinay to the last of the Vincent dra-
matic company’s excellent entertainments
lass night, were carried throngh exact! y as
given in the program published in the
WATCHMAN last week.
On Saturday night the Grange held a
festival on the grounds which proved a
successful preliminary amusement to the
week’s exercises. Two thousand people
attended the harvest home services on Sun-
day when Rev. McIlnay preached an able
sermon on ‘‘Seed-time and Harvest.”’ Mon-
day was given over entirely to getting
everything in shape for the week’s encamp-
ment until in the evening when the Vin-
cent dramatic company gave the first of
their series of entertainments. The Vin-
cent company, by the way, under the man-_
agement of Mr. William Flack, an old
Bellefonte boy but now of Media, is com-
posed entirely of amateur talent from a
Catholic home in the eastern part of the
State. During their engagement at the en-
campment Fred Weaver, of this place,
played the piano for them and did it to
perfection. ; :
Tuesday the encampment was formally
opened by the officials of" the County
Grange. Wednesday there was a grange
meeting in’ the morning and the Demo-
oratio political meeting in the afternoon, a
report of which appears elsewhere. Yes-
terday afternoon a Republican political
meeting was held at which the speakers
were A. 'L. Martin, deputy secretary of
agriculture, and Hon. John H. Landis, of
Lancaster.
Aside from the many good speeches de-
livered during the week and the dis-
play of farm implements, stock and farm
products there were some amusements
down on the ‘‘Pike.’’ The usual merry-go-
round, the target men, big wheel of for-
tune and a humped-back camel mule were
some of thé features. :
TENT HOLDERS.
The list of tent-holders this year was
ahout as large as last year and, in addition
to a headquarters tent for éach of the twen-
ty-two graoges in the county, a press tent,
baud tent, storage tent, police tens, and
double ténts used by both: political parties
as headquarters, was as follows:

the standard, owing possibly to an all
day’s rain on Tuesday. Two horses with
some Berkshire hogs and a‘small flock of
sheep were exhibited by Geo. L. Goodhart.

ou exhibition while J. C. Goodhart, How-
ard Cry Copr, of Centre Hall, and the

BLOWN 10 PIECES. —Last Saturday
morning George Bailey, a sonof Mr. and
Mrs. William Bailey, of .. Pine Grove
Mille, and who the last few years worked
as a car builder in the Altoona car shops,
was blown to pieces in a terrific explosion.
It was one of the most. horrible accidents
that ever occurred in the : Altoona shops,
and the 7%mes of that city gives the fol-
lowing account of it: # 2
Bailey and A. A. Walker were engaged
in repairing the safety valve of a tank
car, which is connected with the dome.
The oar was standing in the cirole of the
oar shop, and had been opened in the early
morning in order that any gas that might
be in it might escape. Holes had heen
drilled and everything was in readiness to
rivet the valve to the. dome. Bailey was
standing partly inside she dome. The
rives was heated and passed to the unfor-
tunate man, and jost as he inserted it into
toe hole the explosion ocearred.
_ Bailey was hurled with terrific force into

.overa hundred feet and traveling at an
angle, In the ascent his body was whirl-
ed over and over, finally dropping on and
_throngh the skylight of the shop, tearing
its way through. His body dropped with
such terrific force that in striking the
beam it was severed at the middle, the two
parts dropping within eight or ten feet of
each other. The entrails were separated
from the trunk and scattered in several
piles. Nearly every stitch of clothing was
torn from the body, and the ‘greater part
of his apparel was consamed. Both shoes
were torn from his feet and one ‘of them
‘was found eight tracks from the explosion

The fragments of the
poor man’s body were gathered together
and given to Undertaker Lafferty to be
prepared for burial, = 5
* Walker, who wassitting on the tank juss
outside the dome, was knocked to the plat-
form of the car, bub ‘soon recovered and
bastily climbed into the manhole.
The accident bappened so suddenly that
he did not see what bappened to his fellow-
workman and presumed that he was still
in the tank. :
While the force of the explosion was
terrific, the tank car was uninjured, as
the manhole afforded a vent for the esoape
. |:of the power generated by the exploding
The’ sickening sight presented hy the
mangled and bruised remains caused ses-
eral of the workmen to be almost over-
come, and one man wens raving out of the
shop, and it fora time was thought that
he had been injured. :
Bailey had been employed at the freight
shop since July 19th, 1895. He was re-
garded as a safe workman. His gang bas
ad charge of putting in safety valves on
stood it, and that the car was not sale
‘never entered their minds. It is stated
that Bailey was about to sever his connec-
tion with the freight shop as be had just
completed arrangements by which he was
to take charge of a farm in Centre county.
Bailey was born at Pine Grove Mills,
Centre county, on May 31st, 1868. He
came to Altoona nine years ago. The fol-
lowing year he was married to Miss Maggie
Kline, danghter of J. A. Kline, of Oak
Hall, Centre county. His wife and two
children, Edna, aged 6 and Eva, aged 4,
survive. He also leaves his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. William Bailey, of Pine Grove
Mills, and these brothers und sisters :
Calvin, of State College, Stewart, Paul,
Nannie and Mary, all at home.
Deceared was su member of the United
Presbyterian church and the Relief asso-
ciation. ;
A funeral service for the deceased man
was held Sunday night in the United
Presbyterian church, taking the place of
the regular service. The church was
crowded, between 600 and 700 persons be-
ing present, the audience including the
wife and children and immediate friends
‘of the deceased.
: ed. The pastor, Rev. R. A.
Hutchison; preached a touching Sermon,
taking for his text, “What I do thon know-
est not ‘now, but thou shall know here-
after.” Rev. Hutchison reviewed the
man’s life and spoke words of consolation
for the bereaved family.
Monday morning at 10 o'clock hrief
services were ‘held at the house, 116 East
Walnut avenue, after which the remains
were taken to Oak Hall, Centre county,
