The WATCHMAN apologizes to its read-

this matter, but the charges so unjustly
and so untruthfully reflect not only upon
the writer, who as secretary called thg
roll, but upon the honesty of the work of
the regular Democratic State committee,
that it is but justice to all concerned that
the actual truth be given the public.
If Mr. JAMES I. BLAKESLIE, who is re-
sponsible for the untruths furnished the
reporter of the North American and the
perjury that some people seem to be
guilty of—if he has the affidavits he says
he has—or if the little coterie of disorga-
nizers who are paying him for the work
of trying to keep up dissension in the
Democratic ranks, can get any glory out
of the actual facts of how they obtained
the votes they boast of, they are entirely
welcome to it.

Senator PENROSE is accurate in his esti-

the wool tariff. The President knows

Congress by sinister influences. He is
aware that it works the robbery of the
people and is the direct cause of im-

covered with second growth timber. and under-
laid with coal, clay and iron ore, along Terrace
mountain, near Marklesburg, Huntingdon coun-
ty. The company is constructing a railroad of
standard guage eighteen miles in length to reach
the tract, and which will connect with the Hunt-
ingdon and Broad Top railroad, three miles of
thesame being completed, and a force of men are
building a concrete railroad bridge acrossa branch
of the Juniata, which will cost $20,000. The land
contains vast quantities of coal and clay and 50.-
000 cords of paper wood, and in addition a large
amount of prop timber and bark will becut. After
the bridge und railroad are completed, the wealth
of the land will be developed and fire brick and
te.ra cottz plants may be erected, and a new
boom given that section.
