To the Democratic Voters of Columbia Co- The election is fifteen days hence, to wit, November 7th, and it be hooves evtry voter to study and consider the important questions which must be decided in this con test between the people and the Quay machine. The vantage ground is with the Democratic party, owing to the fact that the Democratic ticket is com posed of the best men who are be fore the people this year ; men who have not been named because they 1 belong to a machine, but because they have championed the cause of the people. We therefore urge upon you the importance to vote ; 'see that your neighbor votes, and let there be co stay-at-homes in Columbia county. The state and county ticket is an exceptional one, and it is the duty, and should be the privilege, not only of Democrats, but of every careful taxpayer, irrespective of party politics, to support the best men. We, therefore, repeat that the candidates on the Democratic ticket will be elected, because every man named on it is deserving of the support of the people in every way. C. A. Smaix, County Chairman. R. G. F. Kshinki, ) , W. A. Evert, becy s' October 23, 1899. The Independent Republicans are doing all and even more than we could expect of them to help us elect Reilly and Creasy. Let us show them that we appreciate their aid, by helping ourselves and poll ing a rousing vote. Every Democrat owes it to his party and his citizenship to attend the coming election and urge others to go. A man may say "Well, one vote doesn't count for much," but one vote in each precinct means over 5,000 in the State. The attempt to get the soldiers out to boom Barnett has proved a flat failure. A few of his men have been hired at five dollars a day and expenses to hippodrome the State, but there is no disguising the fact that he is very unpopular with his men and he knows it. Democrats, now is the political opportunity of your lives. Every man who desires to see the over throw of the Quay machine in the State should make an effort to have as many Republicans as possible to vote our ticket. The self-respecting Republicans of the State are with us heart and soul, and let us show them that we ap preciate their ' efforts to help us clean out the gang that has long made the State a disgrace in the eyes of honest men. It is every citizen's duty to vote. If the man who never votes only when lie is coaxed or hnnled to the polls were to be deprived of the rijrht of suffrage, he would consider it a severe punishment ; hut there isn't much difference between the man w ho cannot vote and the man j who can but does not. ; " I'ar.ner " Creasy declares that I if he is elected State Treasurer he j will disregard Stone's veto and pay j the school appropriation in full, 1111 ! less prevented by the Supreme Court. The ablest lawyers of the I State consider Stone's veto illegal, ! and if it is, the Treasurer would j be doing his duty to disregard it. I The prospect of electing our I ticket this year are excellent and growing better every day. The Philadelphia ballot box stuffers and repeaters will find trouble ahead this fall if they undertake to carry out their usual corrupt methods. With a fair count in Philadelphia and the vote that Democrats will surely give in the country, the ma chine will be turned down on the 7th of November. Gen. John Feter Shindel Gobin may always be depended on to hurt tlie cause he assumes to champion. He made serious trouble for the Quay camp the very first day of the joint session of the last Legislature in his zeal to aid his Boss by un fair means. He is now traveling over the State trying to persuade voters that they should not support Mr. Creasy because he is " only a farmer." Farmer Creasy is not the kind of a man Gobin wants in the oihee of State Treasurer. He wants a clerk who will obev orders. Democrats have the cnemv on the run, and are sure to carry the coming election, if they do their duty and turn out to vote. The Republicans have been forced to withdraw one of their candidates, because he was accused of being engaged in so many swin dling schemes that honest Republi cans rose in rebellion. The Quay gang knew what sort of a man he was before he was placed on the ticket, but thought they could force him through, and he then would suit them better than an honest man. Barnett was their choice for Treasurer, because he has been a slave heretofore to do their bidding. Governor Stone says that there are no State issues this Jail. It is not strange that he wants nothing said of his veto of a million dollars of the public school fund, or of his veto of the proposition to allow the people of the State to say whether they want legislation to prevent election frauds which Governor Stone well knows are committed by the thousand every year in Phila delphia. It is also plain why the Governor is sensitive about having anything said about speculating in State funds by the man who es caped the penitentiary on a legal quibble, only to be appointed Uni ted States Senator in less than three minutes afterward. Governor Stone will find that the people have something to say as to what are the issues. Josiah R. Adams, Republican nominee for Justice of the Superior Court on Thursday last withdrew from the ticket. This action on the part of Mr. Adams, of course, made something of a sensation.politically, but it was not at all an unexpected move, to those familiar with the situation. Charges were made against him, which he could not meet. He was forced to retire or suffer an overwhelming and humili ating defeat and he chose the form er. Tne vacancy was filled on Sat urday by the nomination of John I. Mitchell, President Judge of the courts of Tioga county. The nom ination of Mr. Mitchell is a shrewd political conception, but it is not going to save the remainder of the ticket. The people of Pennsylvania are aroused to the necessity of a radical reform, that will banish the Machine and wrest the state from the grasp of the looters. Adams has gone, the Machine must follow. iDghara and JNtswitt fouuJ Guilty. After forty-eight hours of delib eration, struggling with the evi dence and the arguments bearing upon the case against Kllery P. In gham and Harvey K. Newitt, the jury returned into Court, at Phila delphia, on Friday, with a verdict of guilty. Attached to the verd ct was a recommendation to the mercy of the Court. Owing to the fact that the jury had twice, on the previous day, been unable to agree on a verdict, the result, when an nounced, was a great surprise. The scene which followed the reading of the verdict is described as having been very dramatic. Immediately A. S. L. Shields, attorney for the defendants, made a motion for a new trial and arrest of judgment. The bail of each was increased from $20,000 to $40,000. 44 Actions of the Just Smell Sweet."
