The result in the county puts an em- phatio stamp of disapproval on the machina- tions of a few local politicians to manage the party to suit theruselves. It was olea:- ly the desire of the mass of the Republi. cans to make no contest against either Mr. RUNKLE or Mr. KIMPORT. They were re- garded as competent, efficient officials and up to the time of the primaries no aspirants for the office had appeared on the Republi- This was generally satisfactory the better thinking Republicans, but at } last minute a echeme was set up to dutapalt two men on to the ticket; probably rivisher one of whom could have won out against any other aspirant ; had there been can side. #0 open contest. The overwhelming de feat of both, brought about by the turn in she very districts where their own party is sprougest, leaves no ground for question as to what did is. Mr. CHAMBERS way have been deceived into thinking that the ex igencies of his party demanded his can- didaoy, but Le failed to understand that a few would-be bosses in Bellefonte do not constitute the Republican party in Centre ‘ounty. ' Altogether Centre county has great reason to be proud of the result recorded. The majority for Mr. HARMAN shows that the eounnty is on the side of honesty and square dealing in the state government, while the result in the county points the road to both parties that none bus the best men dare be nominated for office in the future and that neither party strength nor political trickery will prevail againss thas great and growing element that walks behind the ourtain and makes up a vote that no man may koow until it ia counted.

DEMOCRATIC TICKET WINS IN MARYLAND. BALTIMORE, Nov. 6.—Maryland, which was in doubt last night, bas elected the Democratic candidate for Governor, Judge Austin L. Crothers, and the entire Demo- oratis state ticket by about 7000 plurality. The Legislature is apparently Democratic. Ex-Governor Smith carried she primaries for the long term in the United States Sen- ate and Senator William Pinckney Whyte is assured of the short term. It was claimed to day by the Republio- ans that defeat in the election was due to the immense percentage of ballots that were thrown out. Over 30,000 ballots were rejected for alleged irregularities in the marking, and the large majority of these were cast by Kepnblicans. e ballot was a very cumbersome affair. BECHTEL WINS SCHUYLK ILL, POTTSVILLE, PA., Nov. 6 —Surprises all aronud resulted from the computation to- day of she vote cast in yesterday's election, the Democrats winning two of the most important offices, and the Republicans get- ting three.

Williams, a former well known resident of Philipsburg, was orashed under a falling elevator in Pittsburg, on Wednesday of last week and ivjared so badly that he died within three hours. He was working ae an engineer in the [roguois apartments and while walking throngh au elevator shalt was struck hy a falling elevator. His spine was badly fractured and his death took place in the Allegheny hospital in a few Liours.

The remains were taken®o Philipsburg to the home of L. G.

Harman, to the office of State Treasurer they can console themselves with the fact that they did all they could. Bat the ma- chine and its followers were too stronga ! combine and Johu O. Sheatz was elected | by a majority that will probably exceed one hundred and fifty thousand. Centre county Dewocrate can further take consolation in the fact that the entire ocunty ticket was elected and that by ma- jorities that were highly complimentary to the candidates, considering that the vote was an exceedingly light one, being less than two-thirds of the total vote in the county. This ratio prevailed in the bor- oughs as well as in the country districts. Of course there was very little to cause much excitement and consequently the day and the election passed very quietly. That the people of Centre county endorse the administrations of Prothonotary Arthur B. Kimport and Distriot Attorney W. G. Runkle is shown by the bavdsome majori- ties they both received, Kimport having 1,028 of a majority over Hayes Schenck, his Republican opponent, and Runkle bhav- ing 884 of a majority over Col. Edward R. Chambers. Both men carried Bellefonte borough, the former by 313 of a majority and the latter by 153. J. H. Wetzel was elected county surveyor over D. W. Pletoh- er by 102 of a majority.

The recent closing of the seventh annual meeting of the Centre County Agricultural Exbibiting Co., brings to wind many io- cidents of pleasure as well as of instruc: tion. The fair this year meacared from every standpoint wae better than that of any former year since the opening of the pew grounds, and the fact thas all that was needed was fair weather to attract the crowds is sufficient evidence that the peo- ple of Centre county do want and will patronize an Agricultural Exhibition of this character. There were mauy features at the fair this year that might properly be called novel- ties. First of all the avsolate absence of gambling devices, even in their mildest form. While some thought and think yet that fortune wheels add to the pleasure of the event without taking unfair advantage of the innocent it is a question if they were greatly missed by any. Of course they contribute their part to the whirl of ex: citement and go thas the public expects now-a-days, but there were #0 many other things to be seen that the fortune wheel, ohuck-luck and jingle board certainly did lose caste as premier attractions for a mid- way. While the management bad advertised the substitution of the free platform shows for the famous Repasz band of Williams. port, those who were at the fair found that it was only a subetitution in name and not in fact. For of all the open air attractions that have been seen in the arena there in the past, none bave been anywhere near as pretty and entertaining as was dainty little Mille. Buck and her troupe of trained dogs and monkeys. They are the best of their kind ip the business and the pablic should appreciate the fact that the manage- ment presented them as an additional at- traction. Herdic Wood with his thirty-three musi- cians formed the premier attraction of the week and to say that they were appreciated is but ball expressing it. It was a feature the strength of which people don’t general. ly appreciate. The Repasz band is one of the best concert bands in the country is re garded sufficient in itself but Johu Hazel, possibly the finest living cornet soloist of America was with the band. It was the same Johony Hazel who wis born up along Spring Creek and the same Johnny Hazel who makes the cornet solo records for the Edison Phonograph Co. When you pay forty cents for the next cornet solo record just remember that you heard Johnny at the fair, and probably failed to appreciate exactly what you were listening to. Another matter that should be called to public attention was the splendid avd un- usual exhibit of The Pennsylvania State College. Of course the College exhibit bas been an annual feature at the fair, but this year is was different. The regular College exhibit had been sent to the York fair whioh was holding the same week and there wae consternation in the local fair manage- ment until Supt. William C. Patterson of the experimental farme got busy. He inter- ested Dr. Hunt, the new director of the station, Prof. Butz, Prof. Agee, Prof. Mairs, Prof. Jackson and Prof. Reber and the re- sul was a display by the College that made the public glad that the regular ses exhibit was in York. There were cattle, swine and chickens, fruit and vegetables, grain and specimens of the work of the civil, elec- trical and mechanical engineering depart- ment, fresh, up to the hour and interesting —everyone of them. It required no little effort on the part of the gentlemen men- tioned but bad ‘they personally heard the favorable comments on the display they would bave felt repaid in a measure at least. Besides there is nothing that the Centre county people take a greater inter- est in than their great institution of learn- ing and the pride they have in such evi- dence of ite development is genuine. BorouGH COUNCIL.—-Just seven wmem- bers of borough council were present at the regular meeting Monday evening. The Street commistee reported progress on the laying of the sewer on Howaid street. The Fire and Police committee reported the burning of Conrad Miller's house,and tarn- ed in four dollars for rens of the old Undine hose house. The financial report showed a balance in the bands of the borough treasurer amount- ing to six thousand dollars. The bad con- dition of Howard street being reported the Street committee was ordered to repair the same at a cost not to exceed seventy-five dollars. Council decided that they had no tarther use for a stable as a pound and the owner from whom one bad been rented is to he notified thas they will no longer need the building. Dr. Kirk called the attention of council to the conduct of the police and the matter was pretty thoroughly discussed, the affair Police committee to reprimand the offend- ing officers and notify them not to do it again or it would mean sheir dismissal.
