WHAT THIi HOYS SAY Congrcssionally—Facts Worthy Con sideration. & mem port Miner. Mr. Emery accepted the Inde pendent Republican nomination for Congress in the Bradford nolifica tion meeting with :i great flourish of trumpets. What constitutes this Independent Republican organ ization? Who appointed the men making up the delegation from Mc- Kean county in the conference at Warren? The facts are that they were self-appointed and represented no organized body of electors. And so it was in every county of the district . The men who put Emery in nomination at that conference have been kickers in Republican ranks for years past, with very few exceptions. There was not a dele gation there from any county but what had representatives who had bolted portions of the Republican ticket in recent years. In fact some of them seldom vote any portion of it. Mr. Emery will go <ni llie ticket as the democratic candidate, where lie properly be longs. ICane Republican. The Philadelphia Press says: "The Bradford Star whose owner, a brother of ex-Congressman C. \V. Stone, was a candidate for the Congressional nomination against Sibley, now supports the whole ticket, including Sibley. This is a pretty generous return for the slaughter of Cogressma n Stone two years ago." The Star is a Repub lican paper and that is why it will support the Republican ticket. Two years ago it supported Hon. C. W. Stone for Congress, in this district, so did T lie KANE REPUBLI CAN, 1 lie Smethport Miner, the Mt. Jewett News, the Port Allegany Press, and,all other papers in the county with Republican leanings. These papers, without exception, now support Mr. Sibley because he is the Republican nominee. They are not supporting Mr. Emery be cause he is the Democratic nomi nee. A lid why should they support him? Neither he nor any of what is known as the Emery gang have ever helped Mr. li. 1!. Stone in his political aspirations. And what did they do for Hon. C. \Y. Stone i in his candidacy for Congress two years ago? As Mr. Emery was in j the far west at that time perhaps j his oldest son. Delavan. can answer 1 that question. No truer Republi- j can than C. W. Stone lives on God's green earth, but lie wasn't j good enough for the "Lincoln"' j Republicans of Bradford. They j wive him the marble heart. AN I'M'KilTAl % POSITION. Warren Mirror. iii Mr. Emery's speech of accept ance his reference to the monetary issue was very disappointing to | many and especially so to some who i were considering the matter of giv- j ing him their support. Judging ; from the equivocal meaning of his remarks upon this important ques i tion it appears that he has deter i mined to assume a sort of luke-warm | position in the matter so as not to | offend his coterie of followers who | are possessed of variegated political j ideas. It is the general impression ! that as this is one of the most per | tinent issues of the campaign that Mr. Emery should have dealt with I it conclusively in his platform and ! not shifted the responsibility by | stating that he will be governed, if elected, as the will of the majority at large demands. By this it may ; be inferred that in event of Mr. Bryan being elected Mr. Emery 1 would vote with the members of j Congress who are in favor of chang ing our present monetary system. Now that Mr. Emery has assumed | the role of a political leader t here | is no good reason why he should not give expression to his personal | convictions and not endeavor to court support by attempting to con j form his ideas to suit those of al most every political belief, for in j this he can never succeed to the satisfaction of any class. Were he j to come out boldly and state his position he would at least command j the respect if not the support of all | parties. Mr. Emery's attempt to ; sit down on two stools at once is certain to result in a fall, EMERY AND HIS PLATFORM. Franklin Citizen-Press. On Thursday last Hon. Lewis I Emery, .Jr., in a public speech at | Bradford, accepted the Democratic nomination for Congress in this district, but he particularly repu diated the Democratic platform and presented one of his own in the form of a funny attempt to "strad dle" both the Republican and Dem ocratic platforms, with an endorse ment of the "Middle-of-the-Road" | Populist party in favor of govern mental ownership of railroads. Mr. Emery also accepted the nomination tendered him by a few alleged in dependent Republicans who met in Warren, some weeks since, as self constituted delegates, and named j him as their candidate for Congress. | But it is now stated that since the | enunciation of his personal platform in which thefundamental principles ! of the Republican platform were practically eliminated, this element, entirely disgusted with the evident insincerity and trimming policy of Mr. Emery, will not give him their votes and influence. It would be strange, indeed, if any voter, claim ing to be a Republican, would cast his vote for Mr. Emery standing upon a platform of his own con struction which practically places him in opposition to the adminis tration of President McKinley on some of the great issues now before the country. The "half-and-half'' plan of Mr. Emery to catch the Democratic party vote is grotesque and amus ing. In defining his views on the question of expansion lie practically declares that "the Constitution fol lows the Flag,"' but immediately, attempts to qualify his position in such a way as to soften the dose so that it may not nauseate Republi cans whose votes he hopes to obtain. On the financial issue he attempts to dodge but in substance declares that he is at present opposed to any change in the "present cur rency" unless Bryan should be elected and in that ease; he would favor the lfi to ] proposition of the Democrats. If Bryan is not elected his views on the currency question are, so to speak, in the air. On this proposition Mr. Emery's dis position to "fool the people" is so very apparent that it will fail to deceive any intelligent voter. Warren Mail. As was expected and intended by the managers, Mr. Emery accepts the chance to run against Mr. Sib ley for Congress on the Democratic and Mugwump ticket. After a good deal of effort a meeting was held 111 Bradford last Thursday evening. Largely attended by ladies and personal friends of Mr. Emery living in Bradford and vi- ! cinity, but the attendance of voters j from Warren, Cameron and Ye- i nango counties was very small and j CAMERON COUNTV PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1900. disappointing. There \v;f a good deal of red lire and l>oys, but a lack of real, effective good accomplished in behalf of )Ir. Em ery. His speech was ramh ingand pointless, with a good deal of V>ig I and little u—the personal pronoun being conspicuous from start to finish.' lie does not want togo to Congress, yet he accepts the chance offered him like a drowning man grasping at a straw. He says he is a Lincoln Republican, yet he enters a contest against the regular nomi nee of his party. A beautiful specimen of a Lincoln Republican! A regular burlesque 011 the term, j His platform is cunningly put to | gether, and is intended to catch | ''suckers" from all parties, lie j straddles every issue; carries water on both shoulders, and ponders to I every political taste, in his whole ! speech he does not advance a single j argument against the election of j .Mr. Sibley. Not the least excuse lor apology does he—a Lincoln Re publican—offer for assuming the role of a party wrecker. His plan is to catch Republican votes with the understanding that the Demo | crats will vote for a ny man in their i mad desire for revenge upon Mr. j Sibley, and will flock to the sup ! port of Mr. Emery—a Lincoln Re | publican! We think that some body will be badly fooled and | sucked-in by this farce. All Dem j ocrats are not fools or idiots, and I they know they have a friend and ; a faithful, popular representative j in Mr. Sibley, who has proven him | self to be too good a representative j to be turned down by the people of j this district at the mere behest of a j few disgruntled politicians who are after his scalp for their own per sonal benefit. Do You Want a Change? In the above five words is the issue of the political campaign this year, in county, district, state and nation. The Omaha Bee says this is a simple question that every citi zen will ask himself before he casts I his ballot and the verdict will de j pend upon the conclusion reached ' by a majority of the 15,000,000 j voters who will record themselves | 011 one side or the other next No , vember. It cannot be gainsaid tliat the ! American people are as prosperous and well to do this year as they : ever have been. Do the American people want a change? Does the great army of wage workers, who are better fed, better clothed and better housed now than they have ever been, want a change? I)o the American farmers, whose products are in steady demand at good prices at home and abroad, want a change? Do the merchants and tradesmen of this country, who are doing a larger business in the aggregate then ever before, want a change? Do the manufacturers and em ployers of labor in mill and factory, whose products are marketable now at fair profit, want a change? Do the professional men, whose services command higher remunera tion than ever before, want a change? What would any of these classes gain by a change. This is the poser which neither Mr. Bryan nor any of his champi ons will be able to answer satisfac torily. They will talk about the Declaration of Independence, about the crime of 157.'5, about the beau ties of free silver coinage, about the disasterous gold standard, about the menace of imperialism and militiarism and about the repacity of the trusts. But all these sub jects are overshadowed by the question that dominates all men who are constantly striving to bet ter their condition, but do not wil fully and deliberately expose them selves and their families to a relapse to the distressing hard times exper ienced before the advent of Mc- Ivinley and the ascendancy of Republican politics that have re stored confidence, raised the national credit and set the wheels of industrial and commercial activ ity into motion.
