THE PLATFORM.
' The following is a full text of the
platform as adopted by the conven
tion t ' .
We, the representatives of the Democratic
party of Pennsylvania, in convention assem
bled, declare our unfaltering faith in the prin
ciples and leadership which gave victory to
the Democratic party in 189a, control of
both houie of congress, and mado Grovcr
Cleveland president for the second time.
First. We declare anew our devotion to
the fundamental principles of aonnd Demo
cracytaxation only for the purposes of gov.
eminent economically administered, honest
money, the gold and silver coinage of the
constitution, and an upright discharge of offi
cial dutv.
Second. A Democratic administration
left f 1, 000, 000, 000 surplus in the federal
treasury. A Republican successor, in four
years, converted this into a deficit of $3V
000,000. We declare that the disturbed fi
nancial condition of the country has followed
Republican administration, and that business
depression has resulted from vicious legisla
tion for which the Republican party is solely
responsible. To correct ond relieve these, a
Democratic president and a Democratic con
Kress are pledged, and their efforts in that
direction arc entitled to the support of patri
otic citiiens regardless of party.
Third. We heartily endorse the adminis
tration of President Cleveland and his cabi
- net. We approve his recommendation to
congress of the repeal of the silver purchase
clause of the Sherman act j and we hail with
satisfaction his assurances that the vital
cause ot tariff reform is not to be abandoned,
nor its consummation to be long postponed.
A deficiency of nearly 940,000,000 In the an
nual revenues of the federal government is
the direct result of the McKinley tariff act,
and renders a prompt revision of the tariff
absolutely necessary.
Fourth, We approve the action of the
house of representatives in voting so decis
ively in favor of the repeal of the silver pur.
chare law ; and we call upon the United
Slates senators from Pennsylvania to give
their support to such legislation as may in
sure the prompt and unconditional repeal of
that vicious law.
Fifth. We denounce the declaration made
by the Republican state convention in favor
of nn enormous expansion of the currency as
unwise, improvident and calculated to pro
duce dangerous inflation of values, reckless
speculation and disastrous consequences. We
favor a currency of gold and silver coin,
treasury and bank notes sufficient for the
business needs of the country but we insist
that it shall at all times be kept at a parity
of value.
Sixth. We rejoice in the generous liene
faction of a grateful republic to the soldiers
and sailors who imperilled their live for its
defense. The pension roll should be a roll
of honor, and it should be speedily purged
of nil unworthy names placed upon it in vio
lation of law or in derogation of the rights of
deserving claimants to the people's bounty ;
and we cordially approve the efforts of the
federal administration to that end.
Seventh. We cordially approve and en
dorse the administration of Governor Paul
son and his constitutional advisers. It has
justified the public confidence manifested by
his election. His recommendations of salu
tary legislation, though largely icnorcd by a
republican legislature, have had the support
and favor of the people of the common
wealth. His continued and fearless exercise
of the veto power to defeat unconstitutional,
ill-considered and reckless legislation merits
our unqualified commendation.
htghth. We arraign and condemn the
last Republican legislature for its profligacy ;
for its defiance and disregard of the constitu
tion : and for its shameless neelcct and re
fusal to enact wholesome laws demanded for
the public welfare. It refused to repeal the
statutes requiring the useless advertising of
the mercantile appraisements at an enormous
expense to the state. It failed to make con
cression.il, senatorial, representative and iu
dicial apportionments, as commanded by the
constitution. It refused to pass the legist
tion necessary to protect the public from un
just discriminations by corporations. It nec
lected to equalize taxation in response to the
demands of overburdened labor and of the
agricultural interests of the commonwealth,
It persistently refused to adopt any method
by which the enormous deposit of state mon
eys now scattered among favored institutions
should be made amply secure and remunera.
tive4o the commonwealth. It tailed to pre'
scribe amendments to the ballot laws neces
sary to promote greater purity, secrecy and
freedom of the franchise.
Ninth. Upon the issues thus made by the
fidelity of the executive department of the
state government and the recreancy of the
Republican legislature, we appeal to the peo
ple of Pennsylvania ; and we present the
standard bearers this day nominated as fit
and true representatives respectively of the
highest dignity of the judicial office and of
reiorm tn tne management 01 we state treas
ury. Tenth. We Invite the consideration of
the people of the state of Pennsylvania to
the importance of a non-partisan judiciary.
The spirit, if not the letter, of the constitu
tion contemplates that the courts, especially
the supreme court, shall contain, in equita
ble proportions, representatives of the great
political parties within the commonwealth.
Courts so constituted art more likely to pos
sess and deserve the entire confibence of the
people. The undue proportion of the rep
resentatives of one great political party in
the supreme court of Pennsylvania may be
corrected at the coming election. We have
sufficient confidence in the people of the com
monwtalth to expect that will be so correct
ed. Eleventh. In accordance with the recom
mendation of the Democratic state, county
and city organizations of Pennsylvania are
advised and directed to further by every
means in their power the institution of regu
lar Democratic societies in every election dis
trict and the union of such societies in the
Democratic society of the state and the na
tional association of Democratic clubs.
Resolved. That we heartily commend the
effective and successful work of the Demo
cratical national committee in the campaign
of itya 1 and wa recall with particular satis
faction and admiration the fidelity, skill and
ability displayed by William F. Harrity, who
was selected by the Democracy of the coun
try for the difficult and responsible duties of
the chairmanship. He deserves and pos
sesses the confidence of the Democrats of the
country, especially of Pennsylvania ) and we
but discharge our duty by giving expression
to the appreciation and gratitude we feel be
cause of the highly efficient services rendered
by him. .
Jeremiah S. Yohe died suddenly at
his home, Mifflinville, early Tuesday
morning. He always had the ap
pearance of good health, but for the
last few years, was afflicted with
dropsy. Monday evening he retired
early, feeling very cheerful. At about
midnight Mrs. Yohe awoke , and gave
him some medicine, then she lay
down again. Soon afterwards, he
made a peculiar noise in breathing,
and she arose again, lighted a lamp,
and found him just about expiring.
Mr. Yohe was about 48 years of
age, and the only remaining son of
the late Benjamin Yohe. He had
long been a member of the M. E.
Church, and one of the substantial
citizens of the town. Funeral ser
vices were held ten o'clock Thursday
morning, conducted by Rev. A. S.
Metzler of Beaver Meadows, a form er
pastor and friend.
The most severe storm of the seas
on was experienced Friday of Ia3t
week. The rain fell in torrents filling
the gutters to overflowing, and wash
ing debris of all kinds over the cross
ings. Several sharp flashes of light
ning,with heavy peals of thunder but
no damage done. Bloomsburg is
fortunate in the midst of storms.
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
A Special meeting of Council was
held Wednesday 'evening Sept. 13th.
All members present.
Building permit granted to Mr.
Ratti provided he erects a culvert so
far as the run reaches along his prop
erty.
It was directed that the ordinance
relating to the grading of West street
be changed so as to allow a drop of a
foot at the alley in the rear of Sterner s
property.
the solicitor handed in an opinion
relating to the taxation of the property
situated on corner of Iron and Third
streets owned by the Catholic church.
At a former meeting of the Council it
was requested that this property be
exonerated from taxation because it
wa3 church property, and in the future
would l:e used for parochial school.
The Council refused, because it is now
drawing rent, and hence should pay
tax. The solicitor concurred in this
opinion.
The committee on Highways gave
the following report : "We recom
mend that Mr. Brower raise his pave
ment to grade at Penn St.
and the Commissioner of Highways
be instructed to put in open gutters
across Penn St. and grade same to
suit Second St., and that Penn St. be
cut down iS inches at the alley; this
work not to be done until the Normal
School finish their grading on said St."
Grant Herring Esq. appeared and
asked for the opening of East Third
Street north of East, and give the
property owners an opportunity to en
joy the rights and privileges others en
joy. The question was raised in re
gard to the assessment of damages
and stated that damages must be paid
as soon as the street is opened. A
motion was then made that East
Third Street be opened immediately,
and the sewer extended up said street
Complaint was made in regard to
the sewer at the carpet mill. The
Superintendent of sewer and street
commissioner were directed to ex
amine the inlets to the sewer at the
carpet mill.
A special meeting of Council was
held Saturday evening, September 1 6th,
to hear the opinion of the Solicitor in
reference to the right of the president
to remove Thomas Gorry from the
committee on highways and appoint
another. The Solicitor in giving his
opinion took the assumption that the
President of the Town Council had
the power to appoint Mr. Gorry to the
position he did.
"After a somewhat lenghty search I
have been unable to find a precedent
exactly in point, and I doubt if the
books contain a case on all fours with
the present one. Therefore we must
depend, for the solution of this ques
tion upon general principles ; and I
believe that throughout the entire history
of municipal government in this state
it has been generally conceded that
the power of appointment carries with
it the power of removal, except where
such removal is expressly restricted."
He quoted from the present Consti
tution of our state as follows : "Ap
pointed officers, other than Judges of
the Courts of Record and the Supt. of
Public Instruction, may be removed
at the pleasure of the power by which
they shall have been appointed." In
Buckalew on the Constitution the
learned Author commenting on this
section, fays, "There can be no ques
tion that the second, division of this
section (above quoted) has introduced
into the constitution a most important
change relating to removal from office.
Except as to a few offices mentioned
therein, a power to remove will here
after be inseparable from the pomr
to appoint. The power will extend
to officers appointed for fixed, stat
utory terms, as well as to others, , and
may be exercised by an inferior ap
pointing power as well as by the Gov
ernor ol the Commonwealth."
' After quoting many other cases all
bearing upon appoiuting powers having
a right to remove appointees he said :
If the power to appoint has the pow
er to remove, we are then confronted
by the question had the President of
the Town Council the power ta an.
point Mr. Gorrey.
I am of the opinion that he had,
not by reason of anything contained
in our Town Charter ; not by virtue of
any ordinance or enactment of the
Council, but by common consent, by
the uninterrupted custom of your body.
It has always been the practice, I am
informed, for the President to ap
point the standing committees, and
the Council proper has acknowledged,
acquiesced in and affirmed such a
course. They have recognized this
committee, have accepted its reports
and have acted upon the recommend
ation of its Chairman and members.
In other words, by common consent
they have "permitted" the Presl
dent to exercise this power. I use the
word "permitted'' advisedly, for I am
of the opinion that the power to ap
point the standing committees origin
ally lies inherent in the body itself,
and as I have said, it is only by its
permission that the President excr-
cises such a privilege. Nothing in the
charter or by laws gives him such
authority, as is the case in our State
House of Representatives, where the
rules provide that all standing com
mittees shall be appointed by the
Speaker. Indeed, if the Council saw
fit, no standing committees at all
would need to be appointed. There
fore, in my opinion, the Council as a
body may at any time avail itself of
the power it now delegates to tne
President, and by resolution or other
wise, name tne committees and tne
members who shall compose them.
After further arguing the question
he said : I have arrived at this con
clusion :
First : That the President, by
virtue of the power granted to him by
custom and the common consent and
permission of the Council, could prop
erly appoint and remove Mr. Gorrey.
Second : That the Council may
at any time assume control of the
several standing committees and name
the members thereof.
Respectfully submitted,
Fred Ikeler,
Sept., i Oth, 1893. Town Solicitor.
The following resolution was then
offered by Peacock, seconded by
Holmes and agreed to. Yeas Pea
cock, Holmes, Housel and Gorrey;
nay Drinker, Swentzel not voting :
Whereas, A dispute has arisen
concerning the authority of President
to remove Gorrey from chairmanship
of Committee on Highways and
Whereas, An opinion has been
filed by the Solicitor deciding that the
authority to appoint committees is in
the Council itself if it chooses to as
sume such authority therefore be it
Resolved, That from and after the
filing of this opinion the Commitee on
High way sis well as all committees
shall be appointed by the Council
and that the Committee of Highways
for the remainder of this year shall
be as follows : Messrs. Gorrey,
Swentzel and Holmes and that all
other committees be and remain as
now constituted.
Thomas Gorrey also presented and
had read an opinion from his attorney,
Grant Herring Esq., on the subject :
Mr. Herring quoted from the Laws,
Ordinances and By-Laws of the Town
of Bloomsburg, pages 1 2 to 14, Act
of April 3d, 1 85 1, section 2 as fol
lows:
"The powers of the corporation
shall be vested in the corporate of
ficers designated in the Chart et.
TAey shall have power fAr-
tide 22 j to appoint and remove such
officers, prescribe their duties and al
low them such compensation as they
may deem necessary to secure the
peace, order and well being of the in
habitants and to enforce the ordi
nances and regulations of the Bor
ough."
The Charter of the Town of
Bloomsburg which is the Act of
March 4, 1870, and its Supplements,
in Section 2 of that Act, designates
as the corporate officers of the said
Town "A Town Council to consist of
a President, and six members . who
shall severally hold their offices for
the term of one year and the said
Council and the President therefore
shall respectively possess all the pow
ers conferred upon them by this Act."
An Amendment found on page 95
of the Laws etc, of Bloomsburg and
passed Oct. 29, 1891, provides:
"The Commissioner of Highways
shall be subject at all times in the
performance of his duties to the di
rection of the President of the Coun
cil and the Committee on Highways."
Article 10 of the By-Laws pro
vides as follows : '
"Any officer appointed by the
Council may be removed from office
for reasonable cause at the discretion
of the Council pending his term of
service, but such removal uhall be up
on hearing of the matter of complaint
ana oy tne concurrence 'of at least
five votes m Council
" f
f-Lavs
Article 4 of the By
vs page 92
says :
1
"four members in Council shall
constitute a quorum for the transact
ion of ordinary business, hut no ap
pointment to any offic
shall be made or passed by less than
four, votes in Council."
After discussing the question at is
sue at some length he concludes as
follows :
"Up to this time, no one has ever
questioned the right of the President
to appoint and remove officers, but
now that that question has been rais
ed the burden is upon the) President
to show some lawful authority for his
conduct. Failing to do this, it can
not be sustained, of course. The
authorities clearly point to his inabili
ty to make these appointments and
remove them. The spirit and letter
of our charter place these powers in
the Council beyond question. That
being so it follows as night follows
day that he had neither the right to
appoint or remove.
MR. SAMUEL H. HAEMAN'S PARTY.
A BRILLIANT GATHERING AT
CHANCE HOTEL.
THE EX-
It was during the month of August
that our popular young townsman,
Mr. Samuel H. Harman, arrived at
the age of twenty one years, and he
determined to celebrate this impor
tant event in his life by inviting his
friends to spend an evening with him.
Two weeks in advance of the time,
handsomely engraved invitations were
sent out to about one hundred and
fifty persons to attend a party at the
Exchange Hotel on the night of Sep
tember 15th, at which time nearly one
hundred guests responded with their
presence. It was a brilliant gather
ing, and one of the most delightful
parties ever given in Bloomsburg.
The guests were received in the lower
parlor by Mr. Harman, his sister Miss
Helen Harman, and his cousins Mrs.
Geo. E. Elwell, Mrs. William Leverett,
and Mrs. Chas. Watson McKelvy.
The parlor was beautifully decora
ted with ferns and plants lrom Dillon's
greenhouse, and the floor of the dining
room was covered with crash. The
dance programmes were engraved, and
besides the dances, contained the names
of the music and the composer of each
selection. There were twenty num
bers. The music was furnished by
Chas. P. Elwell's orchestra of eight
pieces, and everybody pronounced it
the best that has ever been heard at
the Exchange Hotel. Orchestras
from Williamsport, Wilkesbarre, Allen
town, Scranton, Drifton, Sunbury, and
other places have been brought here
on different occasions, but the Blooms
burg boys are equal to any of them.
Much of the music was encored, and
the orchestra very obligingly repeated
the pieces.
At twelve o'clock tables were . ar
ranged in the dining room, and de
licious refreshments were served.
A number of strangers were present,
among them being Miss Helen Har
man of Bridgeport ; Mr. and Mrs. W.
Leverett. Mr. Fred Weeks, Wilkes,
barre ; Miss Carrie Brown, Miss Wooly
and Mr. Art Wooly, Danville j Miss
Dove, the Misses Diemer, Messrs.
Horace Otto, William Showers, Will
iam Slate, Williamsport; Misses Moody,
Packer and Mann, Sunbury ; Mr. and
Mrs. Stevenson, Mr. Montgomery, W.
C. Sloan. Philadelphia ; Miss Nellie
Monroe, Rupert ; Mr. John Bucher,
Lewisburg; Mr, T. Forest, New
York.
The ladies with their charming
gowns, and still more charming faces,
the gentlemen in full evening suits, the
floral decorations, under the brilliant
electric lights, combined tq make it a
most attractive and pleasant scene.
Mr. Harman is to be congratulated
upon attaining his majority and also
on having given a party that will live
long in the memory of those whose
privilege it was to be numbered among
the guests.
All ' the arrangements about the
hotel were perfect, and Mr. McClosk
ey and his efficient aids have demon
strated the fact that they know just
what to do on such an occasion. It
was five o'clock in the morning before
the musicians folded up their racks
and the guests departed.
Law Regarding Steam Threshers.
As it is now a very common thing
to meet the traction engine in our
roads day and night it is well to re
mind owners and those having charge
of them of the law governing them on
the public roads. "Every engine pro
pelled by steam must have a man at
least three hundred yards ahead of his
engine to warn persons riding or driv
ing upon any public road, of the fact
that the engine is coming, and also to
"assist" in the 'management' of any
horse or horses that may require 'his
assistance to control." It also requires
the engine to be run as far as practic
able to the sides of the road and re
main stationary until said horses have
passed to a safe distance, in the mean
time making as litttle noise as possible
with the steam. The penalty for failing
to comply with the law is a fine of ten
dollars and costs 1 and the law further
requires him to have a printed copy
posted on his engine under the fine
not less than ten dollars.
The new Pension Board consisting of
Drs. Rutter, Redeker and McReynolds,
met last week Wednesday and organ
ized. The Board will meet every
Wednesday at Dr. Rutter's office.
