County Commissioner. Having lived in this county nearly all my life 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. Sizerville, Pa., Feb. 20, 1899. REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET. Judge of Supreme Court, J. HAY BROWN, Lancaster. Judge of Superior Court, JOSIAH R. ADAMS, Philadelphia. State Treasurer. LT.-COL. JAMES E. BARNETT, Washington County. All those who would dishonor the flag naturally look to the Democratic party for help. With patriots it is different. The State regiments arriving from the Philippines do not bring back with them the supply of ter rible stories the anti-expansion cranks were expecting. It will be noticed that the Dem ocratic platform makers are too busy with foreign matters to pay attention to the "full dinner-pail" question. Mr. Bryan is still trying to master the difficult feat of riding three different parties in the State of Nebraska. The country circus riders will be able to learn some thing from his experience. Everything indicates at present that the fall trade will be about the biggest boom ever witnessed in this country or in the world. It will be a hard matter to make the sober common people believe that the "advance agent of prosperity" is not a great success. Bryan says 30,000 traveling men will oppose the Republican party. Traveling men throughout the country are having the biggest sales on record, and what is more, they know to whom they owe their prosperity. —\V orcester (Mass.) ' 'Spy-" The fact that over 100,000 claims were rejected shows the care taken by the present Administration in dealing with the Pension question, and also is an evidence that too much care cannot be exercised to keep the Treasury from being looted by fraudulent claimants. Just now it looks on the surface as though Bryan was certain to be nominated again next year, but if the Republicans carry Nebraska this fall, and thus beat Bryan in his own state, the two-thirds rule of the Democratic Convention would be almost certain to beat his nomination. This is a Republican year—and the bank clearances and commer cial agency reports show that fully 50 per cent, more business is being done in the United States than was done during the reign ofGroverll. And yet you will now and then run across a hollow-headed poli tician who will tell you that it would be well for this country to go back to the deed sea stagnation of those hard old Free-Trade and free-soup Democratic days.—Dar lington, (.Mo.) "Record." Atkinson, leader of the "Antis" in Boston, has served notice on the President that he has been given a few days of grace to repent of his expansion policy and withdraw the troops from the Philippines, and threaten to form a party of their own if their requests are not com plied with. There was no use of doing this. They should act at once, for they have quite a job before them. Iloar and Atkinson •should make a ticket that would .add greatly to the humors of the <campaign.

The infamous verdict of the military court martial of Captain Dreyfus, at Renues, France, last Saturday, was a surprise to the Christian civilization of the entire world, and is received everywhere with acute manifestations of horror and disgust. Not since the dark days of the Middle Ages has there been a par allel of this signal act of military despotism in the annals of French history. The glorious army of Franee, the pride of the people and master of the nation, composed of men who are the incarna tion of religious and political bigotry, debauchery and hypocrisy; sons of bankrupt noblemen, who have been left to choose between the honors of militarism and the emoluments of politics as a means of livlihood; robbers, gamblers, beggars, reeking with filthy and licentiousness—unique specimens of the most degenerate manhood, through the medium of a farcical court martial condemns an inno cent man to a long term of im prisonment, without a scintilla of proof of his guilt and in the face of overwhelming evidence of his inno cence, just to satisfy the honor of the army, while the populace in approbation stands idly by shouting its benedition of "Vive 1' Armee" in a voice that awakens the echoes the past; and the barljarous wail of the Middle Ages mingles with the shouts of the vandals of the present to drown the stern voice of justice in France. It is a step back wards for justice, but it is only to gain a fresh start that will give it momentum enough to carry it over the barricade of bigotry and hatred. The prisoner's hope that he would be accorded a fair and im partial trial received a rude shock the day he was placed on the wit ness stand, when the effrontery of Colonel Jouaust, President of the Court, first manifested itself and grew more pronounced as the trial proceeded, as evidenced by his opposition to almost every measure of the defense that was slightly out of order or in any way personal, while Generals Mercier, Billot, Roget, M. Bertillion and other witnesses of the prosecution were allowed to keep the stand for hours heaping upon the prisoner tirades of abuse and torturing him with malicious machinations which had no bearing whatever on the case and to which not even a reply was allowed by the Court. The verdict of theCourtand that of the world is greatly at variance, as the opinion of the general press shows, and which highly condemns the action of the army. Dreyfus' star has not yet sunk and ere many days we believe that he will be liberated and vindicated by a ris ing passion in Republican France that will sweep the General Staff from its feet. Are these ,Wen Democrats. The Chicago platform Democrats held a great mass meeting in New York on Monday evening, at which ex-Governor Altgeld. of Illinois, was the chief speaker. It was a movement of the free silver leaders to force the Democrats of New York into the acceptance of the Chicogo platform in its entirety, says the Philadelphia Times, Dem. The meeting was overwhelming in numbers and intense in its en thusiasm. Two names were cheered to the echo. When Bryan was named the audience was tumultous in its cheers, and when Aguinaldo, leader of the barbarian cut-throats of Luzon, was proclaimed as "one of the great heroes of the world," the vast audience became frantic in its cheers and applaudits ol' ap proval. On the same evening Senator Tillman, ol' South Carolina, spoke in Providence, R. 1., before the New England Bimetallic League, and his mission was the same as that of Altgeld in New York. They are doing missionary work to force the Democracy to repeat the suicide of 189G by reaffirming the Chicago platform in 1900. Senator Tillman's speech was quite as treasonable as the speeches before the cheap money, repudia tion and agrarian audience in New- York. After exhausting his vast reserve of political blackguardism, he concluded with this significant statement: "The South and South Carolina will at any time send as many men in proportion to its population to any war of decency and honor, but it will not send a regiment to the Philippines." How long can Democracy stand the ebullitions of leaders who fall little if any short of the Anarchist; who have only words of cheer for the barbarous foes of our brave soldiers in the Philippines, and who denounce their President, their government, their Hag, and the honor and credit of the nation, and pour out the highest encomi ums upon Aguinaldo? If Demo cracy is to make a battle in 1900, CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1899. it must speedily halt and suppress tho men who are now most in evi dence in Democratic expression. Are these men Democrats? WASHINGTON LETTER. {From wtr Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 11th, 1899. President McKinley and Secre tary Root are both pleased at the rapidity with which the recruiting of the new regiments for the Philippines is going on. Although a number of the recruiting offices in various sections have just open ed, reports to the War Department show that half of the ten regiments are already enlisted. The official order for recruiting two colored regiments, which will be the last of the volunteers, was issued Sat urday afternoon. Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, who recently returned from the Philippines, where he made an ex haustive personal investigation of affairs, was warmly welcomed by President McKinley, to whom he made a very full statement, during conferences covering a considerable portion of three consecutive days. Senator Beveridge declined to make a statement for publication at this time concerning what he told the President, but it is known that the President considers the informa tion brought him to be important, and that much of it is confirmatory of what Prof. Sehurman had al ready told him. Commissioner Evans has been holding a continuous reception to G. A. R. men ever since he re turned from the encampment. Speaking of his experience at the encampment he said: "The good will of the veterans was manifested wherever I went. There was not a ripple against me wherever I met them. The only opposition was led by Washington attorneys, whose attempts to influence the encampment were a failure from beginning to end. lam much gratified at the outcome of the en campment, so far as the Pension office is concerned, and I am feel ing very comfortable over the fact that, after so much threatened trouble for me at Philadelphia, I have returned to Washington, not only unscathed, but with a strong endorsement of my official acts. I have performed my full duty con scientiously both to the government and to the pensioners, and I say again that I am highly gratified that the veterans have acknowl edged mj' good faith in the admin istration of my office." The association of Spanish War Veterans, whose first encampment has just closed, elected President McKinley as their first honorary member. Gen. J. W. Keifer, Commander-in-Chief, and Miss Helen Gould, Sponsor. Brigadier General Overshine, late Commander of the Second Brigade of Lawton's division, Eighth Army Corps, is in Wash ington on sick leave. He said of his Philippine service: "I had in my brigade the Wyoming, North Dakota and Idaho regiments of volunteers, and the 14th Infantry of Regulars, and was in the south ern part of Luzon with Lawton, about six weeks. We captured everything we went after and held every city we took. Gen. Wver sliine says he thinks the next cam paign will wind up the rebellion. Of the men's rations he said: "We had the best Australian beef and mutton, even better than you get in Washington. Our other sup plies were equally as good, and there was no complaint," and of another story widely published, he said: "As to the reports of Fili pino soldiers mutilating our dead, and our soldiers mutilating the enemy for revenge, I never saw a single case of any kind of mutila tion and don't believe there was any with Lawton's command." Tho War Department wishes it known that it will forward pack ages of books and papers to the soldiers in the Philippines, free of charge, if they are sent to either Major Long, l\ S. Quartermaster, San Francisco, Cal., or Col. Jones, U. S. Quartermaster, New York City. These packages may be for general distribution or addressed to any organization, just as the donators may please. The best informed men in Wash ington have known for some time that Mr. Hobart was as certain of renomination as Mr. McKinley, provided the state of his health would permit him to accept His health has not been good since last winter and that has caused fear among bis friends. There is no ground whatever for the gossip alleging a movement among prom inent Republicans to supplant Mr. Hobart on the ticket. There is not a single Republican, prominent in National affairs, who is not cordially in favor of Mr. Hobart's renomination, and President Mc- Kinley's strong friendship for Mr. Hobart is known everywhere. There has never been a President and Vice President more thor oughly in accord, personally and politically, than these two men liave been from tlie day they were placed on the ticket together, and there has never been a Vice Presi dent who was allowed so large a share in shaping natioual policies as Mr. Hobart had. The great ability of the man has had as much to do with this as the friendship of tlie President for him. It Is Not Necessary. "Mr. Bryan," says the ('amerou County Press, "will goto the next National Democratic Convention as a delegate, hat it is not believed that President McKinley will follow his example." President McKinley goto the next National Democratic Conven tion ? Not while the birds sing and the rivers run towards the sea! He won't even goto the next National Republican Convention, and his reason for staying away is conclusive. His presence there will not be necessary. He will be renominated on a winning platform, without opposition.—Philadelphia Inquirer. NOTICE. A large black bull came to my barn at the W. N. Y. & P. Junction on Sunday night.
