POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
i To the Ilcpvhlican Voters of Cameron County :
j My name has been mentioned as a
i candidate for Representative before
| the people at the Primaries to be held '
I September 15th. While I feel confi- ]
dent that my nomination was a settled j
1 fact, and no fear of my election, yet I i
; deem it my duty to aid in harmonizing
* all elements in the Republican party,
; therefore I ask my friends to refrain
: from voting for me. The success of 1
j Republican principles is of more im
! portance to me than self. Thanking j
the many loyal friends for their very j
cordial support I would appeal to all
!to unite for the success of the party. j
Let us accord Mr. T. F. Moore, an j
honorable gentleman and a good Re-'
| publican, our hearty support.

Socialism and individualism.
"Socialism is the final refuge of those |
: who have failed in the struggle for life.
ft is the prescription of those who are j
1 born tired. It means the survival of j
| the unfit, and the inevitable result j
would be degeneration. It would de- |
prive ambition of its incentive, indus- j
I try of its stimulus, excellence of its
' supremacy, and character of its re- |
ward.
"Individualism would lift ail to the i
I level of the highest. Socialism would •
' drag all down to the level of the low
est. Individualism is progress and
life. Socialism is stagnation and ;
death."—New York Journal.
Live and Dead Towns.
Some communities progress, while
others either stand still or retrograde,
j Sometimes this is due to natural condi
tions, but just as often it is due to tbe
; people themselves. A town will never
grow unless the people in it care some
thing for success. If each cares only for
: the individal prosperity, the town is
destined to become dead. If the live
towns are investigated, they are found
to be towns in which the people have an
interest in each other. The v help along
! public enterprises both by good will
and money. The dead towns are those
! in which the people want an indemni
| fying bond guaranteeing a profit of no
less than ten per cent, before they will
make an investment.—Philadelphia

My Dear Sir —We are both candidates seeking, 1 trust, to truly rep- nj
u resent the people of the 27th Congressional District of Pennsylvania in uj
■j] Congress. It is reasonable to suppose that upon the platform we will $
j] present our respective claims to their support. Permit me to suggest nj
"u that any divergent views entertained by us upon the great public is- uj
■f] sues now confronting the American people can be more lucidly ex- j);
n pressed and elaborated through the medium of a joint debate, where -J
u each may interrogate the other "and analyze the other's position, thus u]
affording the voters the opportunity to hear the evidence and truly jjj
n judge which one of us better interprets present problems and offers to nj
u the public the better solution. I therefore invite you to a scries ofjoint u?
discussions, the first to be held at Utica or Cooperstown, Venango [H
n county, as you may elect, Wednesday, September 19th, the discussion nj
tl to follow on a subsequent day, to be at a point which you shall name, Lrj
{j and so alternating in our choice of places; and these discussions to con- [Jj
n tinue daily, Sundays excepted, until there shall have been held, at ru
ti least, two joint discussions in Cameron county, and at least five in each "j
of the other counties of the district. The rules governing the division

u Committee of Venango county, and any gentleman you may designate Lrj
to act with him. Such rules as they may formulate will, of course, be [H
n subject to such modification as will insure absolute fairness to each n]
u participant. Lrj
{] If the date, September 19th,'conflicts with any existing engagement H;

Won One, Lost One.
Yesterday it was evident from the
light attendance at the two games of
ball that interest in the sport in Reno
vo is on the decline. A mere handful
of people at the morning game and not
tiie crowd that should have been in at
tendance in the afternoon. The old
time "rooters" were conspicuously
absent. Here and there one might be
found but the old sentiment seems to
have worn off. The games were finely
contested. Renovo lost the morning
game nicely, runs being made after
chances to retire the side had been of
fered. We were willing however to
give that game to the Emporium boys
in consideration of the victory in the
afternoon. The score in the morning
was 7 to 5 with Emporium playing the
long shot. The odds were in favor of
the western team for the afternoon
game but to show the uncertainty of
the game Renovo jumped in and beat
Emporium out to the tune of 13 to 7.
Here was a case of the fovorite "damp
ing" his followers for fair. The morn
ing game should have been cut out of
all records. This on account of the
weird exhibition of umpiring. 'Twas
a sort of relief to see Jim O'Connell
handle the indicator for the afternoon
game. For some reason we have not
been furnished the regular score and
lack of space will not permit our going
into details. We cannot consistently
overlook the fine work of Friel, Stout,
Roach, Gordon and Colling for Renovo
and the excellent playing of Crumph,
Herwig, Ryan and "Gene" Mumford
for Emporium.—Renovo News, Tues
day.

THE INDEPENDENT
Tells Why the People Should Stand by Mr.
Sibley.
I'roni Independent, Nov. 3, 1898.]
So man <>l' standing will sustain
! a small fry politician very long.
| Mr. Sibley's record in congress
I stands out above almost any other
1 member of that body as the cham
pion of the people's rights. He
1 supported by speech and vote every
, measure that he knew was the de
mand of the common people. He
is the especial representative of our
1 old soldiers in lighting for every
; measure that permitted more liber
ality at 1 lie hands of the govern
ment. He may be said to be con
stantly paying pensions out of bis
own pockets, not as an annuity,
but as temporary relief, and when
| our late soldier boys went to the
front, Mr. Sibley, out of his great
j generosity and sympathy, went
I down into his pocket and contrib
! uted to the comfort of the boj's
even while in camp. Who i
congress he donated every ecu.
liis congressional salary to the ad
vancement of Agriculture in his
; district and to the labor organiza
| tions.
5 There is one thing at least that I don't
I understand about this attack on Sibley
I thiough the democratic papers relative
ito the Standard Oil Co. I presume
j that the readei-s of this paper are in the
i dark on the same subject and on their
i account I am going to investigate the
! matter. IfSib'ey has become interested
j in the Standard since 1898, the Standard
! Oil Co. theory is all right and should
i receive proper attention by these pa
i pers. If he was interested in that or
ganization during the campaign of two
j years ago to the same extent as he is
|to day, the question that naturally
I arises is whether it is any more disrep
utable to possess such interest in this
: year of our Lord than it was two years
ago, and if not, which is fair to concede,
| why weren't the aforesaid democratic
j newspapers making a hullibaloo about
i ti then.—Port Allegany Reporter.

Notes and News.
It is time to be thinking about heavy
underwear, and N. Seger has a fine line
of these goods.
The Emporium band has reorganized
and will be ready "to toot the horn"
during the campaign.
Howard's mill was shut down from
Friday of last week until yesterday
morning on account of the line shaft
breaking.
The Emporium schools will open on
Monday next, and the pupils who will
make up the roll are accordingly pre
paring for the event.
The Independent has swallowed Lew
Emery and whoops it up for Bryan and
Emery, not knowing or caring whether
he castshis vote for McKiuley or Bryan.
The Keystone Powder Company
commenced active operations this
morning with many men at work. Mr.
A. C. Blum has taken the road as sales
man. An excellent selection.
Mr Sibley has issued a challenge to
Mr. Emery to meet him in joint debate
upon the issues of the day—two dates
in this county and five in each of the
other counties composing the district.
Mr. Emery is a popular lecturer an
orator. Dare he meet Mr. Sibley? NO!
It is reported that a young man being
examined preparatory to joining the
church was asked: "Under whose
preaching were you convertod?" "Un
der nobody's preaching," was the
prompt reply, "I was converted under
my mother's practicing." Did any
preacher ever utter so powerful a ser
mon as the young man embodied in
these few words?
An editor, who evidently knows what
he is talking about says: "If the coun
try editor were to snap at all the induce
ments held out lie would soon be a
millionaire —in his mind. If he ran a
paper in accord with the popular notion
he would soon bo in the alms-house. If
ho published half the items sent him he
would be in jail half the time and in the
hospital the other half.
Seventy-five little folks of the pri
mary department of tho M. E. Sunday
school, under the supervision of Mrs.
J. P. McNarney and her assistants,
were given a home picnic on the lawn
of Geo. Metzger, Sr., Thursday after
noon of this week, where they were
entertained with games and refresh
ments. They had an enjoyable time
and left with the wish that they would
have more of them.
Did Lewis Emery, Jr.,vote for Bryan
four years ago? The Bradford Star in
timates very strongly t thedid. The
Republican voters of th..j county would
like to know the facts about this Lin
coln Republican's political status for
the past eight or ten years. They know
very well that he played "fast and
loose" politically, when he was in the
Legislature, but what he has been do
ing since is not quite so well known.—

B. W. Green, Esq., of the Cameron
county bar, is strongly endorsed by the
Bar Association of that county for the
appoint ment of Justice of the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania to fill the va
cancy caused by the decease of Chief
Justice Henry Greene. Mr. Green is
an old practitioner of the Cameron
county bar, of eminent ability and
would rank with the best judges on the
Supreme Bench. The Record would
be pleased to hear of his appointment.

whom we have the greatest admiration
and respect,to inform tho public if they

now. What's tho matter with you any
way? Do you actually know? Tne

of the sensible Democrats will applaud
his patriotic course against hauling

Serious Accident—One flan Killed.
Last Monday night about 11 o'clock
Goodyear's log train on Cauley Run
started for Salt Run. Just as the en
gine passed over the liog-baek the train
broke in two, the cars rushing down
the mountain. Edward Field, age<}
about 36 years, was standing on a ear
that contained his household goods
when the oars jumped the track. Mr.
Field was instantly killed. Deceased
leaves a wife and one child, who reside
at Wharton, where his remains were
taken for burial yesterday. Mr. Field
formerly resided in this county, -on
North Creek.
England called Washington a traitor
in 1775. To-day our Republican friends
call Aguinaldo the same thing.—Em
porium Independent
The above is from the Emporium
Independent of to-day and clearly
proves the sentiments of Mr. 1. K.
Hockley, the Democratic chairman and
political editor of the Independent.
The idea of an American citizen up
holding Aguinaldo the assassin and
traitor and classing him with the pa
triot Washington will never be ap
proved by the patriotic citizens of
Cameron county and deserves their
condemnation. It is needless to say
that the same paper and the same
Democratic chairman supports Emery
for Congress. How do you patriotic
citizens of Cameron county like if ?
Tannery Changes.
A change will be made in the tan
nery business of L. R. (Jleason & Son::
in the course of a couple of months,
whereby Superintendent (.'has Glea
son, of the Crescent tannery, will be
transferred to the Boston salesrooms
and L. W. Gleason, of Medixßun, will
assume the superintendency of the
Driftwood tannery. Charles Wheeler,
of North Bend, will superintend the
Medix Run tannery.
We regret very much the departure
of Mr. Chas. Gleason and his estimabh
wife, and Driftwood loses one of its
foremost business men and excellent
families. They expect to leave for
Boston about the middle of October.
While we regret their departure we
welcome the return ofL. \Y. Gleason
and his excellent w ife and family. Mr.
Gleason ' a th rou<_'' business man
ami they will take their place among
the leading families of our town and.
county. They will not transfer their
household goods to thin place until
November and will occupy the Gle: •

that they have concluded to leave this
county. Mr. Gleason is a gentleman
for which we have the highest regard.
