County Commistioner.
Having lived in this county nearly all my lire and
never having asked for. or held, a county office,
I have taken this opportunity to offer myself as
candidate for County Commissioner, subject to
decision of the Republican County Convention.
DELOS BURLINGAME.
SUerville, Pa., Feb. 20, 1899.
Mr. Bryan will goto the next
National Democratic Convention
as a delegate, but it is not believed
that Mr. McKinley will follow his
example. He does not have to as
his nomination is assured.
Perhaps the Anti-Kxpansionists
can explain why, in the face of a
largely increased demand for labor
of all kinds, with advance of wages,
there is still an unprecedented
rush of volunteers for the army,
in a service that is not specially
attractive.
It is becoming more and more
evident every day that anti-expan
sion is not popular outside of Bos
ton and a few other places, and
with divisions in the democratic
ranks over this subject, Republi
cans look with composure on the
raising of this issue.
The plau on foot to extend
throughout the country the regis
ter letter service to private resi
dences by having the letter car
riers attend to the work, will prove
a boom to the public and add to
the popularity of the postal ser
vice.
The advent of Ex-Speaker Reed
into the business life of New York
City, is looked forward to with
much anticipation. Republicans
refuse to believe that this great
brainy man, a leader of men, has
permanently retired from public
life. He is sure to be heard from
again in the future.
The American manufacturers
made their best record in the fiscal
year just ended. For the second
time in the history of our foreign
commerce, the exports exceeded
the imports of manufacturers.
As the only other time occurred
in the year 1898, the McKinley
administration is a record-maker
as well as a record-breaker.
Mr. Root's characterization as
"all nonsense" the rumor that
Mr. McKinley and himself had
disagreed on the subject of
the policy to be pursued in
the Philippines should set at rest
the comment of yellow journals,
which have already began their
work on the new Secretary.
The determination on the part of
India to adopt the Gold Standard
will deprive Mr. Bryan of one of
his stock arguments, likewise and
make clear to the Republican
party its duty in this matter.
A straightforward declaration in
favor of the gold standard is ex
pected from the next Congress.
Our returning volunteers from
the Philippines have had many
handsome things said of them, but
the words of the Japan Herald—
"They have shown us that gentle
men can be fighters, and have
proven now that fighters can be
gentlemen," on the occaion of the
visit of the soldiers to Tokio on
their way home, makes every
American's breast swell with pride.
President McKinley, when he
was consulted by the representa
tives of the citizens of the District
of Columbia regarding the arrange
ments for the reception to Admiral
Dewey in Washington in October,
emphatically said, "Gentlemen,
burn plenty of red fire." As a re
sult, there will be more led lights
burning during the celebration
than ever before in the hisiory of
the Capital City.

TO GIVE BRYAN PLENTY OF ROPE.
Pennsylvania Sound Money Demo
crats Think that Will Settle Him.
Philadelphia Inquirer.
Former National Chairman Har
rity's disavowal of the reports from
Saratoga that he was a participant
in the anti-Bryan conference was
the subject of general comment
among local Democrats yesterday.
Following so closely after Crocker's
complimentary allusions to Bryan
upon his return from Europe, this
Harrity declaration was regarded
as significant. Bryanites generally
were elated over the manifest drift
towards the renomination of their
old standard-bearer, and they were
especially pleased with the Demo
cratic organization in Pennsylvania
by its declaration in the platform
of the recent State convention, had
gone on record early in favor of
the Nebraska Colonel. The speech
of Bryan indicating that he is will
ing that the silver issue shall be
subordinated to the "new issues''
was pointed to as evidence of his
willingness to conciliate the sound
money democrats, and that he
hoped for a united party for the
next national campaign.
While the organization Demo
crats were rejoicing over the pros
pects of Bryan's renomination, the
same degree of hilarity was not
manifested by the sound-money
members of their party. They do
not trust Bryan on the financial
question and do not propose to
support him, no matter what side
issues may be put to the front.
Not a few sound money men be
lieve that that the Democratic
party is not in shape to make much
of a showing in the coming national
campaign. They believe that the
disposition of the people will be to
support the McKinley administra
tion as long as the great questions
of the war are still unsettled. It is
quite natural that the sound money
men should conclude that under
existing circumstances there is
little chance for the election of any
Democratic candidate for President
next year.
GIVE HIM HOKE ROPE.
"Then why not let Bryan have
a renomination, and let him run
himself to his political death," re
marked a well known sound money
Democrat who was visiting here
from Pittsburg.
"By jove," replied a friend, "I
think you have struck the right
idea. We cannot win with any
Democrat next year. Let Bryan
run and he will be licked so badly
that we will be rid of Bryan and
free silver for all time. The Dem
ocratic party can get together in
support of the old-time principles
and be in a position to win in
1904."
This conversation which took
place in the lobby of the Hotel
Walton, presents the Democratic
national situation as viewed by the
gold Democrats.
The same thought is applicable
to the State campaign. The sound
money Democrats have no sym
pathy with the present leadership
of the part}' in Pennsylvania.
Guffey was placed in control by
the Bryanites upon the issue raised
by the opponents of Harrity that
he was not in accord with the party
on the silver question. The recent
Democratic State convention was
controlled absolutely by the silver
ites. They made the platform and
put none but men in sympathy
with them on the State ticket.
WILL OPPOSE CREASY.
The Sound Money Democrats do
not propose that their support shall
be given to a blatant Bryanite of
the type of W. T. Creasy, the man
whom the silver leaders forced upon
the Democratic ticket for State
Treasurer. Many of the Gold
Democrats will vote for the Repub
lican nominee if Lieutenant-Col
onel Barnett, or a man of that
character, shall be named for the
office, as a rebuke to the party
managers who persist in recogniz-
William Jennings Bryan as their
"Matchless Leader."

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1899.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
( From our Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21st, 1899.
Secretary Root is giving the coun
try a striking exhibition of what
can be accomplished by hustling,
even in the month of August,
which has got to be so generally
recognized in official circles as va
cation time. He has caused every
thing connected with the sending
of the volunteers to the Philippines
to be advanced considerably from
the first estimates, and it is now
practically certain that the last of
the first ten regiments will be land
ed at Manila no later than (Octo
ber, and arrangements have already
been made by which the other ten
regiments, the order for the enlist
ing of which was only issued sev
eral days ago. will reach Manila
within a week, before or after, of
December 1. No troops ever took
the field anywhere better equipped
than these men will be or letter
provided in every respect for cam
paigning in the tropics. They will
all be armed with the Krag-Jor
gensen rifle, of which the War
Department now has a full supply,
and amply supplied with smoke
less ammunition. When all the
troops get over, there will be more
than 60,000 men in the Philippines.
It is not believed that so many
men will be needed to do the fight
ing, but Secretary Root intends to
have them there so that every
town taken from the Philippinos
can be held, instead of abandoned,
as in the last campaign. If there
is as much hustling at the other end
as there has been in Washington,
the campaign will be short and
decisive.
Secretary Willson, who has just
returned from a western trip all
the way to the Pacific coast, upon
which he went to study agricult
ural conditions so as to make the
work of the Agricultural Depart
ment as helpful to farmers in that
section as possible, says the talk
about a sentiment in the west
against the Philippine policy of
President McKinley is all manu
factured in the east, and that he
did not meet a single "anti" west
of Chicago, although he met hun
dreds of men, in all stations of life.
He found farmers prosperous all
through the west, and especially so
in the corn belt. He says the
wheat crop of that section will be
a little short, but that the crop of
corn and oats and other farm pro
ducts are enormous. Speaking of
the annexation sentiment in the
west, Secretary Wilson said: "The
people of the west understand this
I question better than do those of
the east. They know that Dewey
was sent to the Philippines to pro
tect our large and growing trade in
the Orient. We have labored to
build up a trade with China and
Japan, and when the war began
Spain had a fleet in Oriental waters
ready to attack and destroy our
commerce. She also was ready to
encourage privateering, and Dewey
went to Hong Kong to be ready to
protect our shipping. He destroy
ed the Spanish fleet as a safe way
to prevent it from preying upon
American merchant ships. Had
the battle resulted in a victory
for Spain rather than for Dewey,
the Spanish fleet would have cross
ed the Pacific to attact our western
ports. The people out west realize
this, and they also realize that
Dewey's victory and the subse
quent events which transferred the
Philippines to the U. S., have
given an extraordinary impetus to
the commerce of this country with
the Orient. At all the Pacific
ports the docks are piled up with
goods awaiting shipment to the
Orient, and we have not ships
enough to carry them. The peo
ple of the west regard the Pacific
as an American lake, which should
be covered with ships carrying the
American flag, ami I don't know
but what they are about right.
Why, I rvcui on oue big ship, load
ing at Tacoma, and I found in the
cargo lumber, wheat and flour from
the state of AVashington; butter
and eggs from lowa and Michigan
fruit from California and Oregan;
steel from Alabama; cotton goods
from the Carolinas; bicycles from
Chicago; notions from New Eng
land and something from more
than half the states in the Uniou.
This cargo was bound for China
and Japan, and it represented
every section and nearly every
branch of industry in the U. S. It
showed me more clearly than I had
ever seen before the general inter
est we all have in this Oriental
trade.''
The Washington committee that
is collecting money for the relief of
the Porto Rico hurricane suffers
has received checks for $250 each
from President McKinley, Vice
President Hobart, and Secretary
Root. The latter has appointed a
National Committee, to take
charge of the distribution of con
tributions, to which all local com
mittees will report. Ex-Secretary
Bliss is chairman of this committee.

Editor George T. Swank, of the
Johnstown Tribune, is again kicking
against the common pleas judges in
the state going about in neighboring
districts and making $lO a day ana
mileage, besides their regular salary of
$4,000 per annum. The Tribune does
not aver that $lO a day is too much for
the service rendered, but states that by
the system in practice the taxpayers
are called upon to pay each President
Judge a salary, and then the extra
charges besides for doing each other's
work.
