John Dongan, or perhaps better known by the sobriquet of "Kit Kaine" is not wanted for the murder of Alexander Rae, notwithstanding the tact that he is said to have made a confession incriminating himself. His name is not among those who murder ed paymaster Rae. Investigation in to the trial, and conviction of the Mollie Mcguires, which occurred in Bloomsburg way back in 1877, shows that the evidence of Dan Kelly, a witness, implicated ten men, Ned Skiv ington, Bolan Campbell, James Baldy, William Muldowney, Roger Lafferty and a man by the name of Dalton, and Hester, Tulley and McHugh, who were hanged. When shown a dispatch a few days ago, saying that -'Kit Kaine" was be ing held in Alabama, for complicity in the crime, Captain Linden, the head of Philadelphia's secret service said, "the man is not wanted. Hester, Tul ley and McHugh were hung for the muader. The others escaped and I believe subssquently died. No man bearing this name figured in the con spiracy." This fellow is no doubt seeking notoriety, or else is weak mentally. The Council in Special Session- The Town Council assembled in special session Tuesday evening for the purpose of considering the matter of paving the alley on the East side of the Court House. The condition of the alley has long been a subject for complaint, especiallly by those who have been compelled to use it. Mr. Louis Cohen, was present and ex pressed his views on the matter, and asked that the alley be repaired, so as to avoid the possibility of accidents. The matter was then taken up by the Council, but owing to a division of opinion among the members present it was thought best to hold it over for the present. A committee was ap pointed however to confer with the County Commissioners and Messrs Wirt and Krickbaum, and to report at the next meeting of council. The services of the special police Men were ordered to be dispensed with, after which the meeting adjourned. Ei-fJounty 0- E.

Philadelphia, Oct. 24. The following correspondence wna made public today: Philadelphia, October 24, 1901. To Hon. Ellsha A. Coray. Jr.: Having been appointed a committee to notify you formally of your nomi nation as a candidate for the office of state treasurer by the Democratic party of Pennsylvania, we take the opportu nity of performing the pleasant duty. You have hot been chosen for this lmportnnt position because of any po litical opinion to which you subscribe, nor of any political party to which you belong; but for the higher reason that you are regarded as an upright, cour ageous and competent man, who will carefully guard the public interests, should you be elected to the office for which you have been named. We believe the great majority of the honest, Intelligent citizens of the state want a man at the head of the state treasury who Is honest, fearless and capable, no matter what opinion he may hold os to purely political topics. The questions that test a man's fitness for the Important office for which you have been named are: Is he honest? Is he courageous? Is he capable? Believing that you fully represent all that good citizens demand, you have been selected as our candidate and we feel that you will receive the cordial support of every Dsmocrat who has the welfare of his state at heart. In selecting you ns Its candidate the party is but folllowing the advice of that great Democrat, Samuel J. Tilden, whose memory is revered by our party, as one well worthy the honor which it had universally received. On No vember 2, 1'"1, he delivered an address which found a responsive echo in every Intelligent man's mind. In that ad dress occurred the following extract: "If we find our dwellings wrapped In flames we should not Inquire whether It was an Irishman or a German; whether It was a Republican or Demo crat who lent us a hand to put out the fire. And on this occasion, in this great city, knowing nothing about the action of your committee of seventy except what I have heard, caring noth ing who unites with us or with whom we unite for this grand object. I come before you to advocate a union of all honest men against a combination of plunderers." The necessity that existed for a union of honest men In New York when Samuel J. Tilden uttered thesa words, exists in a still stronger sense today, in Pennsylvania; and it Is be lieved that your selection as a can didate will aid materially in bringing this union about, and we sincerely hope that you will accept the nomination in the same spirit in which It is ten dered and that you may be triumph antly elected and the cause of good citizenship vindicated. ANDREW J. PALM, .C. E. 1NGERSOLL, F. J. FITZSIMMONS, GEO. R. DIXON, JOHN T. FISHER. most champions of the rights of ths people. The results of the struggle thers waged are now matters of history. The public press Is still free to expose j the schemes of the corrnptlonlsts, and . Is Improving the opportunity. The state's subfluvlsl deposits of coal have not changed ownership. The supreme j court has removed the tax ripping club the machine held over the City of Philadelphia. Popular government, however, is suspended In our cities of i the second class. Trolley franchises worth millions of dollars recently owned by the state now repose in the pockeU of trie machine leaders suffi cient in value to pay all the expenses of all the larceny committed; and to gether with the many smaller grabs, I variously disguised, leave a handsome margin of profit to the machine for Its session's work. The harmonious action of the Union and Democratic parties concentrates the heretofore divided opposition which has hindered effective protest being made against the machine at the polls. The spirit and purpose expressed In the platforms of the Democratic and Union parties are Identical. They speak for I honest government. The machine platform endorses all the plundering acts committed by the legislature. The Issue is thus squarely drawn. The struggle is transferred from the halls of the legislature to the people. This Is the court of last resort. Victory for the machine would Inevitably be con strued as an endorsement of all the Iniquities of which it has been guilty. This election will have an Important bearing upon the contest for governor and the legislature next year. If the machine Is entrenched when the legis lature of- 1903 convenes, the largest army of spoilsmen that ever assembled at Harrisburg will be on hand clamor ing for the flesh pots. Another United States senator is to be elected at that time, and the machine has no other assets with which to pay for services rendered its candidates, than those they get out of the commonwealth. The kind of government we have In Pennsylvania comes high, but the peo ple can have it indefinitely If they are willing to vote for it, and pay for It. It Is Inconceivable, however, that they will do this any longer, and I am confident the day of deliverance Is at hand. Recognizing that the Democratic party of Pennsylvania by their plat form adopted August 15, 1001, have made these questions the Issue of the present campaign for the purpose of overthrowing the corrupt ring which now manages public affairs, I have no hesitation in accepting the nomination of your party upon that platform.

CORAY'S REPLY. Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Committee: Replying to your letter advising ma of my selection as the candidate of the Democratic party of Pennsylvania for the office of state treasurer, I desire in accepting the nomination to say, I appreciate the trust you have reposed In me. To Justify that confidence and to carry into effect the principles enun ciated In your platform, so far as they relate to the office of state treasurer, will he my single purpose if elected. I also wish to express the honor which I feel In being associated on the ticket with so pure and able a jurist as Judge Yerkes, whose election at this time, for obvious reasons, is a matter of great importance. In this connection it may not be in appropriate to make some allusion to the Issues of the campaign. During the first five months of the present year, the people of Pennsylvania were permitted to witness the unfolding of the most Ingeniously devised and gi gantic scheme of public plunder ever attempted in any single session of the state legislature. The scheme Involved the purchase of the organization of that body. It involved the purchase of a seat in the United States senate. It involved the changing of the libel laws for the purposo of muzzling the public press. It Involved the destruction of popular government lncltlcsof the first class. It Involved laying all the real estate of the great City of Philadelphia under tribute to the machine. Finally, it involved reimbursement to the ma chine and its henchmen for all the time and trouble incurred by them selves, out of the assets of the com monwealth that is to say the tax payers of the state were to be made to pay the expenses of their own humll-.. lation and robbery. It was in the spirit of resistence to this conspiracy that fusion had Its birth; the decent Democrats and decent Republicans in the legislature laying aside all ques tions of party policy upon which honest men may honestly differ, fought 'shoulder to shoulder for the honor of the commonwealth and the protection of its taxpayers. In that battle your state chairman, V.r. Creasy, and Rep resentative Pain, were among the fore- xxxoxoxxoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxoxx THE R M. LEADER Bargain Store, Lockard Building, Main and Centre Sts..
