Vote the whole Democratic ticket from top to bottom. It is a good one and should receive the support of ev ery Democrat and all others who want economical county government Vote for the boiler-maker's son for Congress. Born in Schuylkill, Mr, Walsh has clone credit to an honored lather, and by a life of usefulness in Sullivan county has proved his fitness for home and employment at the hands of the people. Alphonsus Walsh is a self-made man, and his training, as a school teacher, his legal studies, and his service for three terms as Prothono tary and Clerk of the Courts of Sul livan county, are not insignificant qualifications for work 111 Congress. A wel'.-versed politician, who knows what he is talking about, gives the following figures on the Congressional vote in this district : Northumberland, Kulp, 500; Columbia, Walsh, 1 Soo ; Montour, Walsh, 400 : Sullivan, Walsh. 500. It isn't hard to figure out a nice majority for the Democratic candidate, is it ? Republicans are claiming; that the Democrats of this county are " Hock ing to Kulp by hundreds.'' This is only a bluff, and it is an old trick too well known to deceive anybody. Where is there a Democrat in this county who can vote for a high tariff, big appropriations, radical republican for congress, and then satisfy his con science that he has done ricrht ? of t'IuiTs tliat lias character- present campaign, is that e been no marching clubs or This is a sensible departure Old custom of buying uni- torches and spending any- hve Hundred to a thousand nents and brass bands Us. No vote was ever by a torchlight proces .past years hundreds of Mars have been spent istrations. This year 'tto monev to burn. Have our readers sufficiently con sidered the monstrous vote of Kulp lor seventy-four million dollars to Rivers and Harbors at the last ses sion of Congress ? That unexampled measure of waste and extravagance was plainly calculated, and probably intended, to embarrass, if not to bankrupt the Tieasmy, and though vetoed by the President, was recklessly supported by Kulp against the veto. He had not even the poor pretext that any part of the money would come to his own district, or the ap propriation he approved of by the people he represented. TD MAB.K A BALLOT. A sample bal'ot appears in the election proclamation in the supple ment to this issue. A cross in the circle at the top of any column is equivalent to a vote for every name in that column. A cross in the square at the right of any name is a vote for that name only. The Democratic ticket is trie second column on the ballot. A cross in the circle at the top means a vote for every name in - the column, and in this case no names can be marked in any other column. Jeffcrsonian Democrats can mark a cross in the circle at the head of the ninth column, and then go over to the Democratic column and mark each name from Congreis down, on the local ticicet. The electors in the People's and Free Silver columns are the same as in ti e Democratic columns, but one of the cangressmen-at-large is different, Correll instead of DeWitt in the Peoples. Correll re fused to withdraw his name after the fusion with the Populists. Democrats and Populists will make no mistake if they mark a cross at the head of the second column. When you begin to slit, there is danger cf mistakes that may vitiate the whole ballot. V0TEK8, BEWARE I The second column upon the bal lot is the Democratic ticket for Bryan and Sewall and the county ticket. The electors for President and the Representatives-at-Large in the sec ond column are the s u,.e as the Free .Silver ticket in the seventh column, witn the county ticket left off. Therefore, vote the Democratic ticket in the second column, and then you will vote for Bryan and Sewall and the county ticket. A FREE SILVER CONGRESS. A Brief Sketch of Our Next Con Alphonsus Walsh. Mr. Walsh was born and raised on a farm in Sullivan county. His father died while he was yet young, leaving him an orphan, with a widowed mother, and a mortgaged farm to care for. He acquired a good common school education and be gan teaching school in winter and working on his farm in summer, and, by an untiring effort, succeeded in paying off the mortgage of sixteen hundred dollars and saved the old homestead for his sister and aged mother. He was chosen and elected to the office of Trothono tary, in Sullivan county, for three successive terms, and so great was his popularity as an honest and obliging officer that for two successive terms he had no opposition for re. election from either party, and was urged to again be a can didate for the fourth term, but refused, saying, "Give it to some deserving young man ; I have had my share." No greater mark of respect was ever paid to any man by both Democrats and Republicans, than this mute tribute to his honesty, his upright character, and his superior abil ity. While serving as Prothonotary he read law and has been admitted to the Sullivan County Court, also to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. The nomination of Mr. Walsh for Congress is the first nomination that Sullivan County has received for a period of fifty years. The little county has been turned down time after time, but always stood nobly by the ticket. She now deserves the united support of the entire district, and she may well feel proud of her candidate, a man who will do honor to his district, one who will represent the cause of the plain laboring people, whose interests are now at stake. Mr. Walsh is beyond the reach of corporations and trusts, and stands squarely Free Silver. T e i c " . iiV liJ .in Ml lest Hum, a men we want to represent the cause of the com mon people in Congress. Vote for Bryan, Walsh and Free Silver, and remem ber that our Congressman is of more importance in this State than our President. BRIAN 13 A SUBE WINJJEB, Senator Taulkner Says the Democratic Sominee Will be the Next President. THE SOLID SOUTH UM1ROKEX. Everything West 0' Iho Missouri Will Go Against McKinlcy-Michigan Salcly Democratic Republicans Claim Victory. Washington, Oct. 26. Senator Faulkner, chairman of the Democrat ic congressional committee, talked more positively to-day about the re sults of the election than at any other time up .to this point. "Mr. Bryan will be the next presi dent of the United States," said he. "lhe information that has come to us during the last week shows that nothing can stem the tide that has set in m his direction. Kentucky is good for 20,000 majority, and Mary land, which has tried a year of Re publican rule, will cast her vote as docs Kentucky. ' West Virginia will shake off the nightmare of two years aco and re deem herself in the eyes of the coun try, both in the presidential and con gressional election. It is conceded by everyone that we will carry every thing west of the Missouri river, and this, with the south, and the states I have named, gives Mr. Eryan 220 votes, with but four necessary to elect him. " For these four he has the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota to draw from. Does anyone doubt that we will get votes in some of those states? If we carry Illinois we .can lose four of the states I have put in mv esti mate and still win ; it we carry Mich igan and Indiana we can lose the same number of states without harm. " Minnesota will elect Lind gov ernor, and the votes that elect him will, under the secret ballot, give the state to the Democratic candidate for president. Michigan to-day is safely Democratic. The election is all over but counting the vote, and I say to you Bryan will be the next president." Lewis D. Apsley, vice chairman of the Republican congressional com mittee, to-day gave out the following statement : " On September 7 I pre dicted Major McKinley would have 303 electoral votes. After further careful study of a canvass recently made we feel confident that this will be increased to 325. In addition to this 325 there is a probability of his receiving 44 additional electoral votes, making 360. I concede to Mr. Bryan but 78 electoral votes." Chairman Babcock, of the Repub grossman, on the Chica puuiiorm and man 01 aunity, anci mat is the , .... , ., lican- ccrifgressional campaign com mittee, predicts the election of at least 224 "sound money" Republi cans to the 56th congress. Baby Orator For Bryan, Four-Ycar-Old Democrat Makes a Silver Speech to an Enthusiastic Audience. One of the interesting features of the Democratic banner raisin' in Belleville, N. J., Monday night and which set the large crowd wild with enthusiasm, was a speech made by Ansell Bassett, a four year-old Demo crat, who is called " The Baby Orator." When the little fellow was introduc ed the crowd yelled itself hoarse, and he walked up alongside of the chairman. For ten minutes this loyal little Bryanite kept the attention of his hearers with his juvenile talk on silver, which had evidently been care fully rehearsed to him. The greatest curiosity was manifest ed in the little chap, and he was cheered loudly when he had finished. The lad is to make other speeches during the campaign. A OAED.

Out Squarely for Bryan. Rsv. Dr. Thomas Causes Surprise by His Support ol the Democratic Nominee. Chicago, Oct. 26. The most talked of development of the day is the letter of Dr. H. W. Thomas, of the People's church. He came out squarely for Bryan and says, " This country must not be governed by trusts or the few rich." Dr. Thomas is one of the most influential minis ters in Chicago. He left the Meth odist Church many years ago, be cause its orthodoxy and his liberality could not harmonize. His friends, many of whom are millionaires, stuck to him, and the people's church in McVicker's theater for the past fifteen years has been a feature of Chicago religious life. " I have been a lifelong Republi can, Dr. Thomas writes, but I owe it to humanity and to my conscience to vote this time for Bryan and Free Silver. As a humanitarian 1 have always stood and must now stand with the people, and I believe their condition would be vastly improved by a return to the old money of the constitution. This struggle for the rights of men in this world has been long and hard. The battle for civil and religous liberty has been largely won. Die centralization of wealth and power carries the possible ele- tion to me has a deep moral signifi cance. I look not to the present alone, but to the years to come-" Ex-Speaker Crisp Dead. The Next United States Senator From Georgia Dies of Pneumonia. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 23 Charles Frederick Crisp, speaker of the Fifty first and Fifty-second congresses, died at Holmes sanitarium here this after noon. Judge Crisp came to Atlanta six weeks ago for treatment for malarial fever, which had developed at his home in Americus. He improved slowly and was getting stronger until Sunday night, when he was attacked with symptoms of pneumonia. Judge Crisp and his family were hopeful until last night, when he had a paroxysm of pain near the heart. At midnight there was another paroxysm and they continued at intervals all through tne night and forenoon. He suffered intense pain but was consci ous up to the last. Judge Crisp at the recent election was endorsed for the United States senate, to which he would have been elected by the legislature which meets next Wednesday. His death at this time complicates the situation. It has been decided that the body will lie in state at the capitol tomorrow.
