WJLL THEY RETRACT?
Mr. Jenks, in his speeches, has
clearly shown that he is unalterably
opposed to Quay and Quayism, and
never had and could not have, the re
motest sympathy or connection with
either. In a letter, over his own sig
nature, and in the sturdiest of speech
at Chambersburg, he has declared
that he never was professionally affili
ated with the Standard Oil company or
any corporation of any kind, except
once, when for a few months he was
attorney for a railroad company whose
road was established to market the
coal to the county where he lives. In
view of these facts, which are or ought
to be known to all men, Dr. Swallow,
Dr. Swallow's hired stumpers and the
Machine organs who do not publicly
and prominently retract the charge
that Mr. Jenks is a Quay man and a
Standard Oil man, convict themselves
in the eyes of all honest men, of wil
ful and deliberate falsehood.
Polk is a sure winner.
VOTE THE STRAIGHT
DEMOCRATIC TICKET,
FR OM TOP TO BOTTOM.
Democrats, don't trade. There
is no occasion for it this year. Vote
the straight ticket and be in the
swim.
Senator Cochran is going to be
re-elected beyond any possible
doubt. No Democrat can have
any reasonable excuse for not vot
ing for him.
Don't be buncoed by the Phila
delphia limes , which is trying to
make it appear that the fight is be
tween Stone and Swallow. Mc-
Clure knows better than that.

What do the people of this State think of this increase of over Ten
Millions, and taking into account the increase of $9,000,000 allowed to
schools, would still leave an increase in the expense of running the above de
partments alone under Republican rule as compared with Democratic, of one
million two hundred and sixty-three thousand dollars and thirteen cents
for expenses for two years. The departments were run better in 1883 than
they are to day. George A. Jenks alone has a chance to beat Stone. Vote
for Jenks and restore honest government.
VOTE FOR SOWDEN FOR
LIEUT. GOVERNOR.
All the Democratic candidates in
this Congressional, Senatorial and
Judicial districts, and in Columbia
county, are going to be elected.
Democrats who want to enjoy the
pleasures of victory after the elec
tion is over, will not cut the ticket.
Swallow's candidacy elected Quay's
nominee for State Treasurer last year.
Had the votes, other than Prohibition
votes received by Swallow, been given
to Brown, Brown would have been
elected. As it was, Brown had more
than twice as many votes as Swallow.
Why should any Democrat vote
for Swallow ? What could he do as
Governor that Jenks would not do?
Men who are really in earnest
about trying to redeem the State
from the hands of political corrup
tionists. will vote for Jenks and the
whole Democratic ticket.
Alec. McClure is now, and al
ways has been, a Republican. His
paper, the Philadelphia limes , is
doing all it can against the Demo
cratic State ticket, by repeating,
day after day, that Jenks is not in
the fight, and by endeavoring to
give Swallow great prominence.
Don't be deceived by it.
The Democratic party is united
this Fall. There is no division
among them on the money ques
tion, and all are determined to drive
Quayism, and all that it represents,
from the State. Columbia county
is going to redeem itself, and give
the whole ticket an old-time major
ity. What's to hinder ?
For some years past the Democrat
ic majorities in this county have been
growing smaller. Last year a Repub
lican Associate Judge was elected.
This has inspired the Republicans
with the belief that eventually they
can capture this Democratic strong
hold and put it in the Republican col
umn. Our small majorities have been
the result of factional fights. Now
there are no factions, and no split on
the silver question. Let us give the
enemy such a set back on the Bth of
November that their hopes ot ever
capturing this county will be blighted.
Every Democrat should vote and vote
straight. We have elected Pattison
Governor twice under less favorable
circumstances than now, and we ought
to contribute a plurality of 2000 to
wards the election of Jenks, and the
same for the county ticket. It can be
done if every Democrat will do his
duty.
Matt Savage don't want people who
are honestly for reform and who want
to turn the rascals out to throw their,
votes away on Swallow. He says- that
"it is believed by many of Dr. Swal
low's friends who have been watching,
his waning campaign ever since.
George A. Jenks was nominated that
when the time grows nearer to election
day and the Dr. sees for himself that
he cannot approach his vote of last
year by a half, he will withpraw and
throw his forces to Jenks, or if he does
not withdraw will pass the quiet word
'to vote for Jenks.' The fact that
Jenks starts with over 400,000 votes
and is as much a Christian and as
much a reformer as Dr. Swallow is
making many ot the Doctor's friends
think him too much a selfish politician
with a vulgar hankering after office—
much more, they say, than he ought to
be sincere. As the Swallow men and
the Wannamaker men approach the
election they will see the necessity of
combining on honest George A. Jenks
it the Quay-Stone machine is to be
defeated. All the taxpayers who want
reform should remember that 'United
they win; divided they fail.' "

Captain DeLacey.
The following letter written to
the Scranton Truth , by a comrade
of Captain DeLacey, candidate for
Secretary of Internal Affairs, is a
worthy tribute to a worthy man.
MONDOVI, WIS., Sept. Bth 1898.
—I see by your paper that P. De-
Lacey has the nomination for Sec
retary of Internal Affairs in your
State, and I gladly avail myself of
this opportunity to pay my tribute
of respects to the sterling character
of Captain DeLacey.
As boys we were neighbors, and
later entered the army together, en
listing in Company A. of the grand
old One Hundred and Forty-third
Pennsylvania Volunteers. We stood
shoulder to shoulder on many a bat
tle field, we tented together, ' and
we marched side by side until* the
sth of May, 1864, when I was bad
ly wounded at the battle of the
Wilderness and but for Captain De-
Lacey who risked his own lite to
save mine, I should have died
where I fell.
Often have I seen him volunteer
to stand guard or picket for a com
rade who was unable to perform the
duty himself, and on the march he
would frequently carry the knap
sack of some sick soldier. His
honesty or his bravery have never
been disputed.
His record as a member of the
Assembly, was all that could be de
sired. Honest, true, brave and
loyal, a respected citizen of the old
Keystone State. Let all parties
unite and give Captain DeLacey a
rousing majority in November.
H. M. NAGLE.
Late Sergeant Co. A 143 d Pa. Vols.
Do Not Forget.
That the next Governor will be a
member of the State Capitol Building
Commission, known as the Board of
Public Grounds and Buildings, and
that it is of the greatest importance to
tax payers that no $20,000,000 steal
like the one in Philadelphia is carried
through. There should be a minority
member on this Board—vote tor at
least one honest member—vote for
George A. Jenks.
Federal Patronage Bold by the Quay
Machine-
You can use the Federal patronage
for what it is worth. Your district
being Democratic, all patronage under
a Republican administration would be
controlled by the United States Sen
ators.

FBOGBAMME PHILADELPHIA'S
PEACE JUBIiiFiE-
Special Rales and Special Trains by Phila
delphia and Reading Railway. ,
The program as arranged by The
Executive Committee for the The
Peace Jubilee at Philadelphia is
proof of itself that the celebration
will far surpass any demonstration
of the kind ever attempted 011 this
Continent. It is as follows :
Tuesday, Oct. 25th. Grand Na
val Display on the Delaware re
viewed by Hon. John D. Long,
Secretary of the Navy. The Battle
ships, Cruisers and Gunboats will
be under command of Commodore
John W. Philip, among those as
signed are the Texas, New Orleans
Mayflower, Marblehead, Topeka,
Dolphin, Winslow, Gloucester,
Dixie and numerous others who
have attracted public attention.
Wednesday Oct. 26th. Imposing
ceremonies, Re-dedicating Indepen
dence Hall, restored to its Colonial
condition, Oration by the Mayor of
Philadelphia, and singing by a
chorus of three thousand children.
The great feature of the day will be
the grand Civic Parade, with floats,
etc., illustrating the progress of the
nation in Industry, Art and Science.
Thursday, Oct. 27th, (which will
be proclaimed a day of thanksgiv
ing) Great Parade of Military and
Naval forces, commanded by Maj.
Genl. Miles, and reviewed by Pre
sident McKinley, with members of
his cabinet, and also the Governors
of many of the Eastern States.

cers and soldiers who fought in
Cuba and Porto Rico, Commanders

For full information as to rates,
time of trains, etc-, consult any
Philadelphia & Reading Ticket
Agent, or address Edson J. Weeks,
Genl. Passenger Agent, Phila
delphia.
Corrupt and Rotten-
The whole of Quayism is corrupt
and rotten, not only in dollars and
cents, but in the principles that un
derly it. The government of the
whole State by any one man, or by
50 men, is a violation of the Con
stitution of Pennsylvania. It is a
discredit to your citizenship, it is a
brand upon your fair name, and I
ask that you do yourselves the jus
tice of freeing yourselves from these
injuries. GEO. A. JENKS,
at New Castle.
Situation Wanted-
Young man, 17 years of age, grad
uate of Girard College, wants situa
tion as clerk in a store, or in any other
position where he can be useful. Well
recommended. Address Geo. F.
Gower, Sonestown, Sullivan Co., Pa.

F. P. Pursel.
Ex Governor Fattison's Views.
The belief of Ex-Governor Patti
son, as expressed in his speeches
and interviews, is that Swallow will
bring up in the rear of the proces
sion when it comes to counting the
vote, and that the situation general
ly is very much like that of 1882
when the Democrats elected not
only their State ticket but a ma
jority of the House and a majority,
on joint ballot, of the two houses.
Mr. Pattison is no superjubilant
enthusiast but a cool, calm and
careful reasoner. What he says is
said only after mature reflection and
is always based upon an intelligent
1 review of all the facts.
Many Pennsylvanians are guided
by his judgment. He is a clean
man; twice, as Governor, did magui
