| A Word to Those Who Denounce
The Allentown Convention
Most of the Democrats in Centre county who purpose voting for Mr. BERRY
for Governor are doing so on the presumption that the State convention of their
party was manipulated against him at Allentown.
It is useless to argue with them to the effect that it was not but there is a
phase of the situation that should commend itself to the very serious considera-
tion of every Democrat who intends voting for Mr. BERRY conscientiously. Of
course it will not appeal to those who are either in the fanatical or disgruntled
class.
If the Allentown convention was manipulated against Mr. BERRY it was possi-
ble only because of the large number of delegates voting almost as a unit from
Philadelphia and Allegheny counties. If such a condition obtained at Allentown
it will obtain at every succeeding Democratic State convention as long as those
cities control the balance of power among the delegates. If there is any justifica-
tion at all for Mr. BERRY’S candidacy then it lies in an attempt to rebuke the tac-
tics of the Philadelphia and Allegheny county delegations. But how will it do
that. Even should Mr. BERRY be elected Governor nothing would be accomplish-
ed in this direction. In fact, if he should be elected, it will have been done by
further weakening the country in its contest with those two cities. Whatever else
may be done there it can be relied upon that Philadelphia and Allegheny will
poll enough votes for GRIM to retain their present representation in the next state
convention. The number of delegates each county may have in the next state
convention will be based upon the vote polled by said county for Governor next
Tuesday.
Centre county now has only three delegates and any material falling off in
her vote will reduce the number to two and possibly one.
The same danger arises in every county in the State. And if there is a fall
ing off in every county in the State there will certainly be a corresponding de-
crease in the number of delegates they will have in the next state convention,
That will make the power of the two cities all the greater.
If the Allentown convention was manipulated are you consistent if you vote
in a way that will make it that much easier to manipulate the next one?
Consider this you Democrats who are really consistent. Possibly it presents
a thought that hadn't occurred to you and will point out that it is better for you
to vote for Mr. GRIM after all.

CUNNINGHAM.—Merty Cunningham, one | Rockey.—John T. Rockey, one of the
of the best known residents of Bellefonte,
died at his home on Bishop street at 10:40
o'clock on Sunday evening. About a year
ago he suffered a stroke of paralysis from
which he never fully recovered. A second
stroke some months ago confined him to
the house and a third stroke two weeks
ago rendered him unconscious and in this
condition he lingered until his death.
He was a son of Francis and Ellen

afterwards working in the same capacity
for Jenkins & Lingle. After he left Jenkins

business and the Diamond, just recently
torn up to make way for the brick pav-
ing, was paved under his supervision.
About a) years ago he was engaged to
give i in the foundry at The
Pennsylvania State College, a position he
held until twoyears ago. He was a mem-
ber of St. John's Catholic church and

five o'clock he went into the house and
sat down in a chair. A minute or so later

a young man he went to Clarion county
where he spent several years then re-

ship, died at his home near Zion at 11.45
o'clock last Friday morning. About two
weeks prior to his death he contracted

with the result that peritonitis developed
which caused his death.
He was born on the old homestead
farm where he lived in May, 1860,
hence was past fifty years of age.

quite successful. As a citizen he was
progressive in everything that pertained
to the welfare of himself, his neighbors
and the community in which he lived.

dealings with his fellowmen, and his
death has cast a gloom over that entire
community.

trouble the doctors have been unable to

trouble located. Prior to becoming afflic-

| in the lower end of Nittany valley, com-

| Tuesday forenoon. He with other mem-
bers of the family were in the field husk-
(ing corn and shortly before eleven
o'clock, after tying up a shock of fodder,
young Yost remarked “That's the last
shock I'll tie up.”
He left the field, went to the house and
got his rifie and went out into the woods.

was heard and Daniel Yost followed his

had gone but a short distance into the
woods when he came upon his brother's
body lying on the ground with a bullet
| through his heart and his gun by hisside.
There is no question of its being a
plain case of premeditated suicide. From
all appearance the young man had placed
the muzzle of the gun against his heart
then pressed the trigger with a stick,
which was found with the gun. The
young man was only twenty-one years of
age and no motive can be assigned for
