rear of the room wanted to know
whether or not the delegate to the
State Convention was to go instruct
ed. There was a noticeable hesitancy
on the part of the Chairman, but he
was promptly reminded that a mo
tion to adjourn was before him, and
of course the interrogatory in regard
to tne state delegate was not ans
wered.
Outside of this feature, there wasn't
a vestige of interest manifestea.

mittee, held immediately after the
convention adjourned A. W. Duy
was reelected County Chairman and
H. A. M'Killip, secretary.
PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRACY-
If Quay is sincere in his opposi
tion to Elkin, the Republican party
is torn by dissensions. What we
want to do is to present a candidate
who can command the respect of the
people. Robert Iv. Fattison has
been twice elected Governor under
similar conditions. We believe that
he cati carry the state again. For
this reason we are for Pattison for
Governor. He is a comparatively
young man, and his reputation for
honesty, integrity and ability are
fully established. Let us have Patti
son for a candidate for Governor.
Col. James E. Guffey is the ack
nowledged leader of the Pennsyl
vania Democracy. In that position
he has shown his efficency in a wise
and capable manner. Pennsylvania
needs men in the United btates ben
ate who are possessed of broad states
manship, and who will legislate for
the benefit of the whole country,
and not alone for the benefit of the
political party to which they belong.
Col. Guffey is such a man. For
this reason we are for Col. Guffey
for United States Senator. Let us
have Pattison and Guffey, and Penn
sylvania may once again be wrested
lrom the domination of infamous
machine rule.
Creasy to Remain Chairman.
William T. Creasy, Democratic
State Chairman, spent several hours
in Wilkes-Barre last Friday conferring
with prominent Luzerne county Dem
ocrats.
Creasy declared that he is a candi
date tor re-election and does not ex
pect to have any opposition.
In discussing the outlook, he said
the dissensions in the Republican
party were growing wider and wider,
and instead of the peremptory order
of Senator Quay to retire Elkin hav
ing healed the breach, it has widened
it vastly. The manner in which it
was done was especially offensive,
Creasy said, and Elkin was treated
more like a dog than a trusted hench
man. It is this that rankles most in
the breasts of his friends.
The State chairman said that in a
very few days the whole facts regard
ing the ripper bill and kindred acts of
legislation will be brought to light,
and then it will be seen that the acts
were passed to pay some political
debts ot Senator Quay's.
Mr. Creasy was re elected State
Chairman yesterday.

Another oil well will be sunk in the

Ben Gibbons, who works for Judge
Rrickbaum, killed a black snake four

Last Monday we had a change of
weather with a rising temperature.
There will be but few fishes this
season as the great Spring floods wash
ed all the fish to shore and they could
not follow the receding waters to the
streams. We think that the people
will not be bothered with " suckers
this summer.

When the company locate their oil
