Splendid Promise for Philadelphia.
The later developments in the Philadel-
phia political situation strengthens the
hope of a complete revolution. The long
service of Mayor WEAVER so the machine
and the sinister methods by which he was
catapulted into public life caused a. doubt
of his sincerity in the movement for re-
form and we frankly admit that we ac-
cepted the reports of his activity for im-
provement with incredulity. Even now
we are uncertain for the reason thas the
machine managers have not given up hope.
According to reports they are still trying
to entice him with promises of personal
aggrandizement. We figure that a man
who is absolutely incorruptible will not
even be tempted by a shrewd ~pponent.
Bas the signs are promising. Following
the appointment of Colonel PorTER and
Mr. ACKER to the offices of Directors of
Public Safety and Public Works respeot-
ively, the Mayor has nominated ex-Post-
master HICKS for assistant to Mr. ACKER
and former Police-Magistrate-South as as-
sistant to Colonel POTTER. Both ate capa-
ble men aid’ uncomprothising opponents of
the organization and will exhaust every
expedient to make the defeat of the ma-
chine pefmanént. “The removal “of ROLLA
DANCE, secretary of the Board of Civjl
Service Examiners, is another evidence of
good intentions. Mr. DANCE, an obedient.
slave of MCNICHOL, was the bulwark of
the machine in making appointments.
These are encouraging facts and we
earnestly hope they will not be disappoint-
ing. ‘With machine influences eliminated
from the civil service of the city and such
economies as correct business principles
will suggest, introdnced, the chief city of
Pennsylvania will soon take its proper.
place in the commercial life of the country.
Hitherto ‘‘corrupt and contented,” its
official character was a menace to business
relations and prudent people avoided it."
But with a reform government and a de-
clared purpose to deal justly both in busi-
ness and politics, its former relations with
the South and West. will probably be re-
sumed and instead of getting the remnant
of husiness it will secure a fair share.

Only one Contest for the Demoeratic County Convene
tion to Decide. A Good Ticket Named and the
Convention was Harmonious. :
For the first time in many years the
Democrats of Centre county have directly
named the ticket they are to support this
fall. The fact that every nominee—with
one exception—had enough instructed
votes to select him, before the convention
on Tuesday was called to order, is evidence
that the ticket of the county Democracy is
a people’s ticket. There was absolutely
no manipulating nor dealing. All thas
there was for the convention to do was
vote the instructions of the people. And
that was as it should be. It shows a healthy
condition of politics. A condition that
leaves no room for trickery between the
individual voter and the candidate of his
choice.
Though some were necessarily disap-
pointed all those reasonable people who
bow to the principles of majority rule will
accept the verdict with that enthusiasm
that will lead to a great victory in the
fall.
It was a fine convention. While among
1 | the delegates there was a noticeable absence
of the old war horses of the party there
were there in goodly namber, scattered
through the auditorium to watch the con-
duct of the younger men who were in the
session. There were ’Squire Sol Peck, of
Nittany; John Q. Miles, of Huston; Joe
Emerick, of Marion; John McAulay, of
Walker; Squire Michael Shaffer, of Centre
Hall; Jacob Bottorf, of Lemont; former
sheriff B. F. Shaffer, of Nittany; Sol.
Schmidt, of Philipsburg and others.
A more harmonious gathering than was
Tuesday’s could scarcely be imagined.
Everybody seemed perfectly reconciled to
the disposition that was made of the busi-
ness on hand and there was a singular
dearth of those threats that the few hot
headed ones are prone to make after their
pet schemes have fallen through.
: The ticket includes good men for all the
offices. The platform affords an issue upon
which we can all stand and one which will
certainly appeal to all the tax payers of the
county. There is no quicker way of get-
ting men awake to a realizing sense of dan-
ger than through their pocket books. The
present Board of Commissioners having
converted a Democratic surplus in the
county treasury into a deficit the time has
come when valuations must either be
raised or the tax millage increased if the
county is to be put back into the gratify-
ing financial condition that Messrs. BAILEY
and MILLER found it. They are the gen-
tlemen who are responsible and they are
the ones who furnish the best possible
issue that could be desired in any local
campaign, that is, economic administra-
tion of county affairs. t
The convention was called to order
promptly at 12 o’clock by county chairman
H.S. ‘Taylor. The call was read by D.
Paul Fortney, secretary, after which the
roii call showed every delegate present
with the exception of the one from west

vention adjourned.
RESOLUTIONS:
‘The Democracy of Centre county in Conven -
tion assembled, Tenewing its pledges of past
years, again tender to the people of Centre
county the power of its grganizaiion and the
ballots of its voters, to restore an economical
administration of county finances, and to aid
all self-respecting citizens in combatin the
corrupt machine that has so humiliated the
proud names of Philadelphia and Pennsyl-
Vi
ania.
We enthusiastically endorse the patriotic
and statesmanlike principles enunciated in
by the Democratic State
Convention at Harrsbule, and hereby pledge
the Democratic voters of Centre county to so
vote as to aid all independent movements
leading to the rescue of our people from ma-
chine domination. .
‘We deplore the unspeakable debasement of
our State Legislature, its open prostitution to
the greed of a coterie of unprincipled politi-
cians, its absolute disregard and defiance of
the mandates of the Constitution, and its in-
credible extravagance. Under long and con-
tinued Republican control, the name of our
State Legislature has become a by-word and
reproach to the entire American people.
© management of the moneys of the peo-
ple by successive Repubiican state treasurers
as become a notorious and public scandal,
and the ability to manipulate the millions in
the sinking fund has come the strongest
weapon of the Republican machine. There-
fore, one of the burning questions of the day
is to drive its creatures from the treasury of
the Commonwealth. so that the books can be
opened and light be thrown upon most repre-
hensible if not criminal transactions.
We join with all good and independent citi-
zens in condemning and despising the action
of Governor Ponnybacker in his base servility
to the Philadelphia machine and his willing-
ness to overturn the chartered rights of his
native city at the request of Boise Penrose
and Israel Durham against the overwhelming
protest of the decent citizens of Philadelphia;
and we rejoice that the indignant and pariious
uprising of the Mayor and good people of that
city has resulted in the temporary overthrow
of the Durham regime and a scathing rebuke
to a prostituted Governor.
nder years of Democratic economy the in-
debtedness of Centre county has been reduced
until Democratic Commissioners were Sually
able to report the county entirely out of debt.
The unfortunate election of a Republican
Board of Commissioners has reversed all this,
80 that the present Republican Commissioners.
who are candidates for re-election, have piled
upon the shoulders of our people a large in:
debtedness; and we call upon the voters of
this county to unite with us in restoring the
office of County Treasurer and the Board ef
Commissioners to Democratic control «and
economies. : ! roy Bisligiid
We commend the course of the Hon John
Noll in the last session of the State Legisla-
ture. He has uniformly and conscientiously
voted against every machine bill and corrupt
piece of legislation, and has persistently align-
ed himself on the side of right and the cause
of the people, i
We congratulate the Democratic Jarty and
the people of this countv upon the ticket this
day nominated. We bespeak for our candi-
dates the votes of all independent citizens
and pledge to their support the enthusiastic
and unanimous ballots of the Democratic
party

Ia order to secure absolute accuracy in
the names and spelling thereof on our sol.
diers’ monument, we will publish from
time to time the lists of certain companies
80 as to enable those who are interested to
suggest changes in initials or spelling, and
also to suggest the names of any persons
who may have been omitted from the rolls,
This is the last opportunity which will be
given to our people and to the survivors or
friends of deceased soldiers who served from
Centre county to have these names correct.
ed. The Committee, therefore, appeals
very earnestly to all who are interested in
the subject to carefully scan all the names
to ascertain.
1st, whether any have been omitted; and
2nd, whether the names of those already
contained in the rolls are properly spelled.
It is also very important that the names
of soldiers who enlisted in organizations
outside of the county or State should be
secured, in order that they may find their
place among the nation’s defenders upon
the monument. This is perhaps the most
important thing which the Committee has
in charge, the organizations from onr own
county being already well known... If,
therefore, any person, in or out of the coun-
ty, bas knowledge of a citizen of Centre
county who enlisted in organizations out-

important that their names should be as-
certained, so that they may find a place

6 o'clock last Saturday evening, of heart
failare. He had been around during
the day as usual.
Deceased was a son of Felix and Eliza

tember 22nd, 1832, thus making him pass

ment of the University of Pennsylvania.
He served eix months during the Civil war
as assistant surgeon in the Twenty-eighth
regiment, Penna. Vols. His term of en-
listment expiring in April, 1863, he re-
turned to Bellefonte and began the prac-
tice of his profession, and for a number of
years was one of,the town’s most success-
ful physicians.
He was a brother of the late Mrs. Mar-
garet Brockerhoff and much of the time
during the past twenty years he made his
home with the Brockerhoffs. Surviving
him is one brother, Frank Mullen, of Rey-
noldsville.
The funeral was held at 3 o’clock Mon-
day afternoon, the remains being conveyed
from the Brockerhoff residence to St.John’s
Catholic church, where the ‘services were
held, Rev. Father MeArdle officiating. The
pall-bearers were C. M. Parrish, Harry E.
Fenlon, Jacob Gross, H. 8. Taylor, James
Schofield and Thomas Howley. Interment
was made in the Catholic cemetery.
