Judging from the action of the leaders of the Republican meeting at Howard, Wed - nesday night we infer that there is a deep seated feeling among some of them against Col. JOHN A. DALEY. It was bad enough to treat the veteran Republican as they did when they euchred him out of the nomi- nation for Legislature, but itis adding insult toinjury to publicly insnltand humiliate him as was done ou Wednesday night. Col. DALEY had been asked to preside at the Howard meeting and acting in good faith he undertook to exercise the funo- tions of the presiding officer. After the first speaker had concluded Col. DALEY under- took to make a few remarks when the band broke in upon bim and persisted in drowning him clear out. This might have been looked upon as an accident had it not occurred a second time, when it be- came most apparent that the whole thing was a well concocted plan to insult and humiliate Col. DALEY. -—Houstle for a clean Judge and clean county officials next Tuesday. + ——Get out the vote. Vore EARLY.—Don’t delay until even- ing Democrats. The way to win is to encourage others by your example. The bulk of the Democratic vote cast in the morning gives hope and help to the party workers, and always insures a larger Democratic vote than when a greater por- tion of the votes is not polled until later in the day. A big vote in the morning stimulates work, makes doubtful voters think things are going your way and great- ly helps the party polling it. If you want to do a good job for the Democratic ticket, vote early and have the balance of the day to attend to your own matters, or to assist in polling the full party vote. ere etter ——Vote for ORVISs. Ee —————— -—Don’t leave a vote at home. They Don’t Want Him to Go. The employees of the old Bellefonte glass works are very much concerned for fear Mr. JouN KNISELY will be sent to Har- risburg to represent Centre county in the Legislature. They don’t want him to go because they say they need him right here at home to settle up with them the bal- balance of the business of the concern, which has been hanging on since last July, a year, or the time when the factory burned. We do not care to go into the details of the differences between JOHN and the men who were interested in the factory before it burned, hut the most of them say that if be wonld he as slow in looking after the county’s business in Harrisbarg, | as he has been in logking after theirs, there would be no hope of his ever getting anything done. Be calm, dear friends. Be calm! Mr. KNISELY is not going to Harrishnrg. K¥PLER and NOLL are the gentlemen who are to be sent down there. ——Watch for the returns from Philips- barg and Rosh.

This is the last issue of the WATCHMAN before election—The most important election for the people of Centre county in ten years. Or- dinarily it might be expected that this issue would be full of campaign arguments hitherto unpresented, but such such is not the case. There are many things that we might call to your attention, matters that per- haps some think should be ventilated but the contest of next Tuesday will be one of too much gravity to be fought out on shallow personalities or partisan prejudice. The duty we have to perform in choosing a President Judge of our courts is almost a sacred one; an obligation that every voter in the ‘ounty owes himself, personally, to perform with that calm, deliberate -— bought that is ever requisite to the exercise of good judgment. No Republican should vote for Judge Love because he is a Republican ; nor should any Democrat vote for Mr. Orvis because he is a Democrat. . This some of you will will doubtless regard as peculiar doctrine coming from the DEMOCRATIC WATCHMAN and we hasten to remind you that from very first this paper has insisted that there should be nothing of poli- tics or partisan prejudice in the election of our Judge. What has the Judge of our courtsto do with making laws or of advising in the affairs of municipalities, townships or counties? His functions are solely judi- cial. Separate and removed from all the bitterness of party stife, per- sonal preferment and organization schemes he should stand, the one A WORD TO UNBOSSED REPUBLICANS. Those Republicans of Centre county who do not have to jump when Judge Lov cracks the whip will have no trouble in voting the ‘ballot that will be handed them next Tuesday. Because it is large, cumbersome and somewhat confusing under the new arrangement of groups, instead of straight party columns, the word is being sent out to ‘‘urge everybody to swallow the whole dose, straight, rather than run the risk of spoiling their ticket.”’ . This is only another one of the many ruses that have been con- jured up lately to save Love and WoOMELSDORF. “It is thought that by trying to talk some Republicans into believ- ing that they might possibly lose their vote for ROOSEVELT, if they don’t vote the straight ticket, they can frighten them into going it straight ; thus gaining votes for Love and WOMELSDORF. designed especially to catch the friends of the late Governor HasTINGs and others who do not approve of Judge LovE’s course, as well as the people into whose political bodies Little PHIL has so frequently sunk his kaife to the hilt. But the ballot is, after all, so simple that anv one can under- stand it. A Republican who wishes to vote for ROOSEVELT and FAIRBANKS, for the Republican state ticket, for Congressman DRESSER, Senator IrvIN and all or part of the Democratic county ticket should not place a cross (X) in the square opposite the word ‘‘Republican’’ in the first This trick is even tempered, unbiased dignified dispenser of justice to all. While we feel that the vast majority of the people of the county have already made up their minds as to which one of the two men aspiring to this exalted office best fulfills their highest indeals of what a Judge should be there may be some yet wavering. To these we make this last appeal to swell the rank of the majority in purging the bench of Centre county of the charges that it has blushed for under Judge Love's rule. At this hour it seems as certain as it does that the sun will rise on the morrow that Mr. Orvis will be elected next Tuesday. It will only be a question of the majority. The deep thinking people of Centre county can always be relied upon when the test comes, but what is need- ed now is a majority so great that it will proclaim to the entire State that the Bench in Centre county has been redeemed and purified, that old traditions have been gathered up and that no more need the machine ruled departments at Harrisburg hasten to Bellefonte for ready made decisions or any set of politicians or political plunderers reckon on our court’s sympathy. Judge Love has had the opportunity of ten years. That he has endeavored to be a politican, as well as a Judge, has been his fault alone. He knows full well what tne ideal Judge should be ; and all the more guilty is he for not having lived up to those ideals. Now the opportunity is about to be given to Mr. Orvis and in an- ticipation of the consummation of the change we congratulate the people of Centre county on having chosen for their President Judge a man who in the future, as in the past, will make the law and not politics his study. We congratalate- Judge Orvis. PARTY. Fight Against the National and State Tickets Will be Carricd on in All States. PHILADELPHIA, Pa. To THE ORGANIZED WAGE EARNERS AND FRIENDS OF UNION LABOR : During the past six months every possible effort has heen made by the Trades Union movement of Pennsylvania to have Union labor employed in the new Capitol Building, at Harrisburg, Pa.,a building which is to cost millions of dollars. Union Labor appealed to Governor Pennypacker, to Senator Penrose to Congressmen, State Senators, Assemblymen, and last but not least to Mr. Cortelyou, chairman of the Republican National Committee, all resulting in a dismal failure to Union men, and a victory for low and unpaid labor. We charge, and truthfully so, that the Republican party is an enemy to Union labor, Union conditions, the Union hours, and in favor of scab labor, low wages, long hours, the open shop, the sweat shop and similar conditions prevailing where the Unions have no control. 3 Delegation after delegation appealed and almost begged the Republican machine to settle this matter. Senator Penrose promised to do so, wrote many letters saying be would settle it tothe satisfaction of organized labor, but at last the machine in the banner Republican State in this country proved its loyality to scab labor, set its seal of condemnation and disapproval upon Union workmen, proving conclusively to organized labor that the policy of the Republican party is to down those who strive for fair conditions. Let organized labor of the entire country retaliate and ‘‘boycott’’ the Re- publican party as effectively as the Republican party is boycotting the Union men. The following Unions have been discriminated against or denied employ- ment by the Republican machine. International Brotherbood of Electorical Workers, International Union of Wood, Wire and Metallic Lathers; Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators, and Paperhangers; Amaigamated Sheet Metal Workers ; International Union of Building Laborers and Hod Carriers; Tbe International Union of Elevator Constructors, and Hoisting Engineers, all affiliated with the American Federa- tion of Labor. We appeal to Union men and their friends in every craft, - trade, occupation and calling to aid us in our efforts to strike a crushing blow at our enemy and defeat the Republican party in this election. If you have formerly voted for that party or its candidates, we ask you in the name of organized labor not only to vote against them this time but to use every possi- ble efforts to defeat them. Makea personal appeal to your friends, relatives, co-workers and your brother members for the defeat of the unjust and unfair politicians, who care more for the scab and the rat than for the Union man who seeks to bring about a better day. Let the entire labor movement unite in a common cause to teach these politicians a lesson they will not soon forges. The story of this Republican State Capitol Building we dread to tell, we know approximately how many millions of dollars the building will cost—that is, we think we do—we don’t know how much graft is paid or squeezed out of the contractors, The politicians will not tell, the contractors dare not, and the architect is silent. The employment of cheap servile labor we presume makes it possible togive all the vaulturesa slice, including contributions to the National Republican campaign committee. Anticipating tbat the corrupt Republican machine will attempt to answer these charges through so called labor unions and beneficial (Employers’ Union, ) which the Machine Republi- cans, with the aid of scab contractors are organizing, we hope that you will consider where the lying statements emanate from, and the fake frandalens: associations making them. Let organized labor show its power at the ballot box, defeat your enemy, the Republican party, next election. Following is the Executive Board Council of Allied Building Trades. JAMES 8.

Place that mark (X) in the large square opposite the names ‘“Roosk- VvELT and FAIRBANKS’ at the head of the second column. Don’t be- lieve anyone who tells you that if you want to cut the other part of your ticket that you will have to m ark in the square opposite the name of each one of the thirty-two electors marked on it, because one mark (X) will vote them all. In the various groups below al the men you want to vote for and opposite them. Take this paper, turn to page 1 you need do is find the names of make the mark (X) in the squares 6 and look the ballot over. The specimen printed there is an exact fac-simile of the ballot that will be given you to vote next Tuesday. If you wish you can cut this one out and after marking it as you want to vote, in the privacy of your own home, you can stick it in your pocket and take it right into the booth with you as a guide. It will have the virtue of being smaller and not so much in the way as the large specimen ballot to be secured at each polling place. These facts and instructions are not printed for the lick-spittals of Judge Love or the fellows he can drive into line by the crack ot his boss’ whip, but for the independent Republicans who want to see the tone of our judiciary lifted up and the REAL friends who want to do as their friend HASTINGS would have done. x Lying at the Last. We had hoped that the present cam- paign would be concluded without any malicious lying on either side, but it ap- pears that such hopes have been in vain. The Gazette's frantic efforts to make the public believe that Mr. ORvIS did not properly take care of his father’s estate and that he does not pay bis bills were such utterly silly fabrications that no one regarded them even seriously enough to class them as lies. As the eleventh hour, however, the Republican comes out with an inspired article, which will probably be rehashed in the Gazette this morning, to the effect that in certain parts of the coun- ty Mr. ORVIS has promised to grant more licenses, while in others he has promised to do away with licenses entirely. Whatever stories of this sort may be circulated between this and election day can be marked down as LIES—pure and simple. ‘We bave Mr. ORVIS’ authority to do so and here challenge any man to present a single instance in which be bas made any promise . whatever regarding licenses or any other of the matters that will naturally come under his disposal as Judge. Mr. ORVIS has made no promises of any sort. That part of the campaign game has been left to Judge LOVE'S friends to do, as they did in the Potters Mills post-office case. ——Judge LOVE took the Confer case out of the hands of the jury ona technic- ality. ELLIS ORVIS tock the Confer case to the Supreme court on the ground that Judge LovE hadn’t done the proper thing. The Supreme court sustained Mr ORVIS and Mr. CONFER won. The legal acamen of our two candidates for Judge were measured by the highest tribunal in the State in this case and that of Mr. ORVIS was found to be superior. He should be the Judge hereafter. ; State-Dickinson Football.

Pos- sibly foremost in these was that at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Shuey, on High street, given by Mr. Sbuey and daughters in celebration of Mrs. Shuey’s forty-second birthday. The invitations sent out ten days previous were written on corn husks and, Monday evening, the house was decorated with corn and green foliage while numerous as well as hideous jack-o’-lanterns furnished light for the occasion. Here and there throughout the house were found monster pumpkins, hol- lowed out, in which was abig bowl of fresh sweet cider. About sixty guests were present and the evening passed most delightfally. 7 About forty-five of the friends of Mrs. W. L. Daggett celebrated Hallowe’en by giving her a surprise party. ‘By subter- fuge Mrs. Daggett was induced to go to Mrs. Bush’s for an evening call. When she returned and went upstairs she was surprised to find the hall in darkness, save for the light of a number of jack-o’-lan- terns. On going to the parlor she was completely taken aback to see the large gathering of her friends. Of course, the evening proved a most pleasant divertise- ment for all. There were a number. of other parties around town, amoug them being one given by Mrs. Frank Warfield, one by Mrs. John Kline and one by Mrs. Tobn S. Walk- er in honor of her sor, Robert. FIFTY YEARS A MAsoN.—On Monday evening from eighty to ninety members of Bellefonte Lodge No. 268, F. and A. M., with a few invited guests, assembled in their commodious Temple, on Allegheny street, to participate in the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the initiation of Mr. J. Miles Green, of Mileshurg, as a member of Bellefonte lodge, which event took place October 31st, 1854. The com- mittee of arrangements in charge of the affair consisted of Messrs. Frank P. Blair, chairman; Harry Keller, A. C. Mingle, Frank Warfield and John D. Meyer. The reception committee was composed of Messrs. John P. Harris, F. Potts Green, Daniel Garman, James H. Dobbins, John P. Seibert, William B. Miles, John H. Sands, John Meese, Abraham Weber and Milton S. McDowell. A special meeting of the lodge was held at 8 o'clock which was followed by a reception and luncheon, and of course the latter was by no means the least enjoyable part of the evening’s features. Under the head of ‘‘Observations” the program pro- vided three, the first, ‘‘Historical,”’ by Mr. Hammon Sechler, ‘‘Masonic,”” by Rev. Jobn A. Wood Jr., and “Congratu- latory,’ by Col. J. L. Spangler. The latter gentleman could not be present and all the observations were included in a happy lit- tle speech by Senator W. C. Heinle, in which be presented to Mr. Green a hand- some gold watch, a gift or memento of esteem of his fellow lodge members. Mr. Green was very much affected hy this mark of kindness shown him but in a brief and appropriate speech thanked all present for sach time (ly ) recognition. It is not unusaal to find men who have been members of the Masonic fraternity fifty years or more but it is a little unusual to find a cave exactly similar to that of Mr. Green. In all of the fifty years since he joined the fraternity he has never trausferred his allegiance to another lodge. hut bas always kept up his interest in lodge No. 268, and whenever possible was present at the regular meetings. In con- nection with this report we append the following brief sketch of Mr. Green : J. MILES GREEN. Joseph Miles Greeu, eldest son of Joseph and Catherine Miles Green, was horn at Milesburg, Pa., December 1st, 1829. His ancestors on his mother’s side same to this country from Wales in 1692. His great- grandfather (Colonel Samuel Miles, who laid ont the borough of Milesburg in 1791) was an officer in the French and Eng- lish war and in the war of the Revolution. His ancestors on his father’s side came from England. His grandfather, Joseph Green, was first postmaster of Cen- tre county. He received his education principally in the public schools in Milesburg, with a term or two at the Bellefonte Academy and one at Lewisburg (now Bucknell) University. He learned the wachinist’s trade in the shops of his father, and after- ward entered into partnership with his father and Wm. L. McMeen in the mer- cantile and foundry business, under the firm name of W. L. MoMeen & Co. During the anti-Masonic excitement old Centre lodge No. 191 surrendered its char- ter and the lodge room, corner of High and Penn streets, was no longer used for lodge purpoees, and was converted into a school room. Here Brother Green attended a school tanght by Daniel Canfield, and it was amid these surroundings that he first became interested in Free Masonry. Hie father had been a member of the old lodge, and after the institution of lodge No. 268 was admitted to it. He was a sub- soriber to a paper called the Masonic Mirror. This paper was eagerly 1ead by his son Miles, whose desire to become a Free Mason was intensified and, when twenty-four years of age, he sent in his petition for membership. One of his rec- ommenders was Constans Cartin. The investigating committee was composed of Jobn D. Turner, Charles H. Bressler and A. W. Cheesman. The officers of the lodge at thas time were : James Armour, W. M. ; Constans Curtin. Sr. W., and Daniel Ammerman, Jr. W. He was entered Oct. 31st, 1854, being the eleventh member initiated in lodge 268—was passed Nov. 28th, 1854, and was rails to the degree of a Master Mason on January 2nd, 1855. He served as Junior Warden in 1856, as Senior Warden in 1861, and as Master in 1866. He becawe a member of Lafayette Chapter at Lock Haven, October 27th, 1855, joined Crusade Commandery No. 12, Bloomsburg, March 1st, 1866, and Caldwell Consistory at Bloomsburg in 1868. In 1861 Brother Green raised a company at Milesburg. of which he was eleoted captain, which company became a part of the 49th Regt., P. V. ‘In 1872 he was elected justice of the peace, and has been re-elected each suc- cessive term since. ; emt yrds ——The barn of I. J. Zuabler, near Farmer’s Mills, was totally destroyed by fire, Thursday of last week. The live stock was saved but 500 bushels of wheat, 50 bushels: of ocloverseed ‘and the year’s orops of bay and corn were burned. The loss was $1,500 on which there was an in- surance of $1,000. 4
