Small, Chairman R. G. F. Kashixki, Secretary. Creasy does not deny one word of my letter of two weeks ago I will admit I made a mistake in my withdrawal card when I inserted it two years ago I should have stated then that I now withdraw in Mr. Creasy's favor, and he and his friends have given me their prom ised support in 1900. I inserted it, as was stated in Mr. Creasy's reply, so as not to implicate him or any of his friends as having taken part in my withdrawal. He charges, by way of reply, "He and his friends urged and helped place an independent Gold Democrat cn the ticket against the regular nomi nees at the November election of 1S9S." I was no party to the above, and no one knows it better than Mr. Creasy. But what can you expect ? He broke his solemn prom ises of two years ago and allow ances must be made. In the fall of 1S93 Mr. Creasy and I spoke at several places together ; I did all I could for the regular Democratic nominees. At the general election of 1S9S that "Gold Democrat" did not get one vote in Beaver towu ship. Mr. Creasy knows it. But why this controversy ? I rave made a plain statement of facts. My -ecord as a Democrat is open on all ides for inspection. I again kindlv ask all good Dera xrats for their support. Respectfully yours, C. Z. SCHLICHER. K0rTENSES3 IS CUBA. It is less than two years since the Spanish were driven from Cuban soil because of their corruption and tynnny. Already there are charges of gross mismanagement and extrava gance by the officials sent there by the McKinley administration. The following charges are made: The theft of $100,000 from the postal service. The expenditure of a ha. f million to construct a worthless railroad. The allowance by the .Secretary of War of $150,000 for personal ex penses ot officials. The rebuilding of barracks at a cost of $40,000. nominally for school purposes, but really for the benefit of the contractors. The payment of $250,000 to a Trust Company for handling gov ernment money. The use of I". S. transports as pleasure boats by the officials. It is said that all these matters are well known, and have been call ed to President McKinley's atten tion, but they are being suppressed for fear of their effect on the com ing campaign. If this dishonesty and robbery is one of the first results of expansion and can go on in Cuba under our very eyes, how much greater will be the opportunities for plunder in the Philippines. It ;s unfortunate for the Republican party that these matters have developed so soon. GOYEKSOR STONE TUBNEb DOWS. It keeps somebody busy most of the time to correct Governor Stone's bluuders. He was elevated to his present position by the Quay ma chine, aud they ought to be proud of him. He has blundered in near ly everything he has done so far. He appointed Quay United States Senator, and the Senate refused to seat him. He vetoed the resolution provid ing for a constitutional amendment, and the Supreme Court has decided that he had no such power, and that the amendment must be sub mitted to the people. He appointed a personal friend to the Judgeship in Tioga county, and the people have nominated an other Republican, and dropped Stone's candidate at the primaries. He vetoed the School Appropria tion to the extent ot a million dol lars, and now proceedings have betn instituted in Montgomery county lo compel the payment of the full amount appropriated. There is little doubt but that it will succeed, and the Governor's action be declared by the court as a usurpation of authority. Stone's administration is an exhibition of the unwisdom of putting a small man in a large place. His only abilitv seems be that for colossal blundering. WHAT 13 SAID OF CREASY. ,From the York Gazette.) It has given satisfaction to Demo crats all over the state to learn that "Farmer" Creasv has consented to run again for the legislature. His re-nomination and re-election are considered as practically certain. During bis three terms in the legislature Mr. Creasy made a splendid record and his leadership and influence cannot be spared from Harnsburg in view of the battles about to be made, particularly the j struggle for ballot reform. i That confidence in him is not con j proved by this splendid testimonial from the Republican Philadelphia Xorth American: "William T. Creasy is again a candidate for election to the legis lature. He has served three terms, and it may be against precedent in his county that he should be given a fourth, but such a precedent ought not to count in the case of a man of his character and calibre. He is honest and able and of such proved worth as a public servant that even party lines may well dis appear before his candidacy. Re publicans as well as Democrats should vote for him." It may be so that to ex-Senator Quay and his methods should be charged the corruption, extrava gance, wrongs and crimes of the administration of public affairs in this State, but who is responsible for Quay ? Back of an individual who commands the influence and asserts the authority that he does, must be a power to sustain him. Does anyone know of any power he has outside or independent, of the Republican party ? It is that organ ization that made him that backs him, that approves and endorses him, and in revolting agaiust Quay, they are simply attempting to over throw the instrument, the tool, the agent. If tltey would rid the State of its vicious, profligate, constitution-defying idininistratiotis, they must rid it of Republicanism. That is the power responsible for all the people have to complain of. Belle fonte Watchman.

As we are about to nominate men to represent us in the legislature for the next two years, it seems to nie that the Democrats of Columbia county should remember several things. Theoretically, public office is created to subserve the interests of the people. No man has a claim upon an office until the people say it shall be his. No man should be given an office unless he has quali fications to fit him tor that office. To elect any man to public position simply because he is poor and needs it, is usually a mistake. At this time especially, with the many important questions that will arise in the next legislature, we need men of experience and ability, and a knowledge of public affairs. Columbia county stands in the front rank of Democratic count ies. ' She is entitled to be recogniz ed as a leader, but she can get it ouly by sending men who, by their ability can command that recogni tion. Don't let us make any mis takes. Jacksonian. The members of the Democratic National Committee are reaping the fruits of their action in locating their national convention outside of a city of the first or second class. Kansas City hotel accommodations are limited, and Kansas City hotel proprietors are taking advantage of that fact. Rates have gone sky ward with a bound and Chairman Jones is being bombarded with re quests that the convention be taken to some other city. It is natuial that the hotel people should want to make all they can out of the con vention, but there is such a thing as running their desire to extremes. Outside of Kansas City there would be very little mourning over the re moval of the convention to some other place. Ex. "KEYSTONE PARK-" An Opportunity for Working Men 40 Lots At Public Auction. On another page our readers will find a larje advertisement of the New England Suburban Improvement Co.'s sale of building lots next Saturday at Keystone Park. The many novel features attending this sale and the inducements offered both to purchas ers and others make the event of enough interest to our readers to de mand some of our tin,e and space.

Streets walks and alleys are being built and graded water mains laid, and the land put in shape for im mediate building. The sale itself is to be at pubic auction a method which affords every purchaser a selection at a price established by himself and his neigh bors, for the Company's representative assures us that there will be no reserve on tny lot o:Tcred.
