Editor Cameron County Press :
Through the kindness of a soldier
friend I have been furnished with a copy
of a letter, which is being circulated
throughout the county, and being used
against me as a campaign issue. J sub
mit the letter together with my affidavit,
for publication, denying the whole as a
fabrication of falsehoods. A copy of all
will be given to the other county papers
for publication also.

COPY OF LETTER.
Erie, Pa., Oct.. 20th, 1898.
Mr. George Barker,
Emporium, Pa.,
Sir and Comrade:—
Yours just at hand and in reply will
say that that fellow Shaffer did say that
the old soldiers were trying to drain the
U. S. Treasury as fast as they could, and
that the I'resident ought to veto every
pension bill that came before him. Shaf
fer also said "What are you drawing a
pension for? We do not know you were
in the army.
lie also said that the government had
paid the men all it owed them and that
they had no more right to a pension than
he (Shaffer) had. Now this conversa
tion was heard by three or four men. 1
do not recall the names but am sure that
F. M. Overhiser was oue of them.
1 was very much surprised to hear that
any party in Cameron county should
nominate a man of that kind for the
office of County Treasurer.
I think the party must be hard up for
timber and am only sorry that I cannot
be there to help defeat him.
You are at liberty to show this to C.
Shaffer and also to have it printed if you
wish to do so, and now tell all the "old
boys" to pull off their coats and not sleep
night or day until a man of that stamp is
so deeply buried under good loyal votes
that his friends (if he has any) will never
find him. We are all well and hope all
our friends there are the same. Give
my fraternal regards to all the boys who
wore the blue.
Yours fraternally,

To the Old Soldiers.
I desire, through the columns of the
PIIESS. in order to vindicate myself, to
make this statement:
Some time ago in conversation with
Mr. Charles Shaffer, he said "that the
soldiers ought not to draw a pension, it
was simply robbing the Government;
that the soldier knew at the time ot his
enlistment just what he would receive
for his services."
This conversation took place some time
before I even knew he aspired to the
office of County Treasurer, and after he
was nominated I repeated our conversa
tion to several old soldiers and Mr.
Shaffer denied it, calling me a liar to the
old soldiers, saying it was a plan to defeat
him. Now, neither Mr. Thomas nor
any one else knew anything about this so
it cannot be said that 1 told it for politi
cal purposes, for I should have done the
same thing had such a man been running
for office on my own ticket.

What Representative can best serve the in
terests of his constituents, he who is, except for
eight or ten days of the legislative session,
"absent and not voting", or he who is on hand
from the beginning to theend of the session and
places himself on record in favor of ALL GOOI)
bills and against ALL BAD ones? As "eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty" so is it also the
price that representatives pay for the legislative
benefits their respective districts receive. Our re
presentative cannot devote nine-tenths of the
time the legislature is in session to the practice of
his profession one hundred and fifty miles away
from the seat of legislation and do justice to his
constituents. Voters, elect "Eternal Vigilance
Mulliu" and feel assumed the county's interests j
will be faithfully served.
The Cameron County Teachers' Institute, in
the resolutions adopted at the close of its session
here, strongly endorsed the Compulsory School
Law, and the law establishing High Schools in I
Townships, and adds: "That the interest inani- |
tested in the public schools by the Legislature
demands our thanks and we would respectfully
pray a continuation of the same liberal policy."
Listen voters, if the school teachers in our
county, in whom we all have the greatest confi
dence of being able to distinguish between that
which is good and that which is evil, can so |
strongly endorse laws enacted by the Republican 1
party can we make a great mistake by continu
ing t'lat party in power? We rely for the
future of our children upon the judgment and
integrity of the teachers of our public schools.
Should we reject their judgment on economic
questions when those questions directly affect
the schools? The Democratic party, whose re
presentatives have been hopelessly in the minor
ity for years, are trying to claim credit
for having enacted laws that have so manifestly
benefitted the State, but they can mislead no per
son who will give tiie matter a thought. The
Republican majority is responsible for those laws
and the voters should see that the party which
has "manifested such interest in and accorded
such liberal treatment to our public schools", is
continued in power.
The Democrats urge as a reason for Hon. C. W.
Stone's defeat that he voted for the 4, Dingley 1
Bill" which placed a tariff on hides, against ;
which the tannir.g interests were working.
The fact of the matter isthat Mr. Stone bitterly j
fought the tariff 011 hides both in and out of com- •
mittee, bringing to bear against it every influence
he could command, just as he fought lor and
gained an increase in the tariff on lumber, which
so materially benefited his district.
He voted for the "Dingley Bill" as a whole, be
cause the people, by an overwhelming voice,had
demanded a change of policy from that of free
trade to protection. He could not place him
self on record against a policy that the people
were demanding because he could not accom
plish for his district all that he desired. Would
Sibley have accomplished as mnch? No! He
would have accomplished nothing and in addi
tion to having a tariff on hides we would have
had a lighter tariff on lumber which would have
practically killed our lumber interests. This is
but onecomparisonjthere are do/ens more which
could be quoted as reasons for Mr. Stone's re
election did space permit.
The satement is made that Sibley money is
turning the political sentiment of the county
against the Republican ticket. The most forcible
way for the Republican voters to refute the
statement is by rolling up a handsome majority
for the entire Republican ticket.
Vote the democratic ticket and you give coun
tenance to the statement; vote the Republican
ticket and you give the lie to the individual, or
party, who intimates that you place a commer
cial value upon your right of suffrage.
The Republicans of this district have the satis
faction of knowing they have done, and are do
ing, nothing to debauch politics.
Their candidates .stand squarely upon their
records. They do not ask the voter to barter
away his right of suffrage for a mess of potage.
But they DO ASK HIM TO CALMLY AND
CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE ISSUES and
the records of the respective candidates, and
then cast his vote as his judgement dictates is
right, and for the best interests of the county. If
the voters do this Republican success is assured
as Republicanism stands for clean and honest
government of Nation, State and county.
CHARLES M. THOMAS.
"Charley" Thomas strongly appeals to the
voters as being the proper man to elect for
County Treasurer. Beginning as a day laborer
in the woods he has, by careful, energetic man
agement of his resources, added to his lumbering
and other interests until he stands to-day one of
the substantial men of the county, and an ex
ample of what an honest and energetic man can
accomplish.
He did not sit idly waiting for opportunities
(or public office;) he created the opportunities
and to this fact alone he is indebted for getting
ahead in the world.
Except for the covert reflections of political
opponents, not a harsh word can be uttered
against Mr. Thomas. But many are the generous
acts accredited to him. In Driftwood borough
where he resided for years, his one-time neigh
bors take pride in testifying to his honesty, up
rightness and generosity.
When a man's neighbors, people who know
him thoroughly through a daily intercourse,
testify to his worth, he is a good man to tie to
when the people have offices of public trust to
fill.
He does not go around extending the political
"glad hand" only when a political campaign is in
progress. His right hand of fellowship and aid is
extended to his fellow men at ALL times.
Being a man of thorough business methods,
whose honesty and reliability are beyond ques
tion, he deserves, and should receive every Re
publican vote in the county, as well as ti
nt every man, irrespective of party, who believes
that public office is a public trust and that only
trustworthy men should be elected to them.

SPANIARDS
Postponing Proposed Peace Settle
ments Until After the
Election.
WANT DEMOCRATS TO WIN.
Hope the Americans Will Be Less Aggress
ive if the Vote Does Not Appear to
Sustain President McKin
ley's Administration.
A special dispatch from Washington
tells of the receipt of a cablegram
from Paris which indicates that the
Spanish representatives in the peace
commission have shown within the last
ten days a remarkable and significant
determination to postpone settlement
of all questions coming before the com
mission. They give different excuses
for not taking up certain matters
which have been hanging fire and
which could readily be disposed of
without forther delay. They are un
doubtedly living in hope that condi
tions will change and that they will b«-
in a better position than they are to
day to insist upon concessions which
the American commissioners do not
Intend to grant.
Spain's intentions in regard to the
Philippines are apparently indicated
by her action in dispatching the auxil
iary cruiser Buenos Ayres loaded with
arms and ammunition to Iloilo. Against
the expressed opposition of the United
States and in violation of the position
she herself assumes in the matter of
the dispatch of reinformements to the
American military and naval forces at
Manila, the Buenos Ayres was sent to
that point.
DEWEY SCENTS TROUBLE.
Rear Admiral Dewey has reported
the arrival of the Spanish auxiliary
cruiser at Iloilo. He adds that he la
reliably informed that she has on board
6,000 stands of rifles, 11 quick firing
guns and a large quantity of ammuni
tion for the use of the garrison at that
point. The Buenos Ayres will be re
tained at Iloilo for the purpose of at
tacking any insurgent men-of-war
which Aguinaldo may send to the isl
ands to the southward of Luzon.
Admiral Dewey several weeks ago
reported that the Spanish consul at
Singapore was expecting the arrival of
the Buenos Ayres. No action was then
taken by the administration for the
reason that when the Spanish govern
ment, through the French embassy
here, asked permission to send supplies
to the Spanish parrisons in islands
other than Luzon Mr. Moore, then as
sistant secretary of state, and now sec
retary of the American peace commis
sion, declined positively to permit what
he termed a violation of the peace pro
tocol.
SPANIARDS BANK ON DEMOCRATS
It should not be overlooked that al
though the Spaniards have left Porto
Rico, they have still 120,000 men under
arms in Cuba, more than the total
strength of the United States army.
They are. therefore, in a position to
give the United States trouble should
they determine to press their claims
for greatei consideration in the peace
settlement.
It is believed in diplomatic circles in
Washington that the Spaniards are
counting up- n Democratic victories at

A Sure Sign of Croup.
Hoarseness in a child that is subject
to croup is a sure indication of the ap
proach of the disease. If Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is given as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough has appeared, it will pre
vent the attack. Many mothers who
have croupy children always keep this
remedy at hand and find that it saves
them much trouble and worry. It can
always be depended upon and is pleas
ant to take. For sale by L. Taggart,

Discovered by ft Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. '-Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest test, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way to
recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle
of Dr. King's New Discovery for Con
sumption, and was so much relieved on
taking first dose that she slept all night;
and with two bottles, has been absolu
tely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther
Lutz.' Thus writes W. C. Hamnick &
Co., of Shelby, N. C. Trial bottle free at
