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.
