POINTED COnrtENT. Kansas has shipped a cargo of flour to Ilong Kong. But this is expansion. -r + The Democratic nominee lor Gover nor of Alabama is a horrible Gold Bug and an awful expansionist. Everything goes in Alabama. Yes, Mr. Bryan, we are ashamed, millions of us, that the Filipinos are expecting aid from the Democrats in ihi3 election. There is no question as to the adpta- , bility of the Hon. Adlai E.Stevenson. They cannot make the Democratic platforms too .shaky for him. + 'The sugar trust made the Wilson- j Gorman tariff bill and Mr. Bryan voted ! for it. Was that not '-placing the moil- j ey before the man?" Pretty soon Mayor Van Wyck of j New York will also begin to realize i bettej than ever before that there is not j »o very much fun in being the ice man. | + | Meantime, we should like to ask where Hon. Victor Lawson of the Chi cago Record, circulation 200,000 or mora, really stands in this campaign. \ I New Jersey and Alabama have about i the same population, or had in IS9O, j yet McKinley alone polled more votes j in New Jersey than Alabama polled j altogether. } t Ff you see it in one of Mr. Hearsts' j papers,printed in black-faced type three \ or lour columns wide, you may assume j that it is not so. It used to be the robber tariff with j Mr. Bryan and then it was the robber : '*old barons. Now wo suppose it is a j conspirator of robber soldiers, like j Chaffee, McCalla and others 1' r,r .1 man who left the party on ae- j count oi tae silver question the Hon. ! Chavleu A. Towne managed to say but ! little on the subject in his recent letter | of withdrawal. * i. There is ne reason to doubt that the j Democratic National Committee will pay all the expenses of the Anti-Im perialists and all other ostrich organiz- i ations c-ilculated to support Bryan on j the side. Do not forget that Bryan is pledged 'to pay in silver the first government j 1 obligation that lie gets a chance to pay VXt all. And do not forget that the mo- i ment he does that we are on a silver basis. The lion. Benjamin !!. Tiliman is the first Democratic leader to attempt to make political capital out of the Chinese trouble. Mr. Tillman's pitchfork is : avoiding the real issnjen t.year. The Record Would Not Correct It. The following letter published in the I Bradford Era explains itself and ex- I plodes a part at least of the Sturtevant plot, recently published by the Inde pendent and Gazette of this county. The major ol said interview was a fake and has been repudiated by Mr. Sturte vant. SMETHPORT, Pa., Aug. 23. Editor of tlie Daily Era: I enclosed and mailed to the Daily Record of Bradford, Pa., on the 20th inst., a letter of which the enclosed is a copy, and requested that it be published in that paper. It failed to appear in that paper, and having received no re ply to it, I assume that the Record does not intend to publish it—l supposo for political reasons. I therefore request that you publish the same with this letter. Yours truly, Tuos. A MORRISON. [Copy of letter mailed Aug. 20, 1900, to the editor of the Bradford Daily Record. ] SMETIIPORT, Pa., Aug. 18, 1900 To the Editor of the Bradford Daily Record: My attention has recently been called to an article which appeared in your issue of Aug. 16th, which purports to have been written by George Nox Mc- Cain and published in the Philadelphia Press, in which article ex-Congressman Sturtevant is quoted as saying: "In the meantime the Quay Republicans have been working in Venango county getting signatures to a petition urging Sibley to be a candidate and promising him their support. A friend of mine and also of Quay's who had not been let into the secret, went into the district to try and halt this movement. He saw ex-Senator Bonnon of Bradford, Judge Morrison and other Quay leaders in the 27th district, and warned them that they were making a mistake. They refused to listen to advice and declared they were for Sibley." So far as the above refers to me it is absolutely false. I never told any per son that I was lor Sibley for Congress against C. W. Stone two years ago,and I was not for him. I supported C. W. Stone earnestly for the nomination for Congress and did everything that I could properly do in favor of his elec tion. I voted for him and urged my friends and acquaintances to do the same. I may add that I had been the personal and political friend of C. W. Stone from the time that he first ran for the Legislature in the Warren and Venango district. I never in my life, either directly or indirectly, aided any man to be elected to Congress on the Democratic ticket. If the haiance of Mr. Sturtevant's statements made to Mr. McCain are as untruthful as his reference to mo they are not a very valuable contribution to the political literature of the day I also notice in your paper an article purporting to have been written by Bion Butler in the Pittsburg Times, which is intended to convey the same idea, i.e., that I was in a scheme to de feat Stone and elect Sibley. I denounce this as absolutely false, and no man has or had the slightest excuse for making such a charge. I absolutely and un qualifiedly opposed Mr.Sibley two years ago because he was a Democratic can didate and I was heartily in favor of Mr. Stone because he was a Republi can running on the Republican ticket. I am now supporting Hon. J. C. Sibley for Congress because he is the Repub lican nominee in the 27th district, and because I believe him to be an honor able gentleman who will support Mc- Kinley's administration and Republi can measures in Congress. I respectfully request that you make this letter as public as you did the false charge that I betrayed Mr. Stone and aided in the election of a Democratic Congressman. THOS. A. MORRISON. It is announced that Mr. Bryan is now thinking. Perhaps he only thinks that he is thinking, or perhaps his fol lowers think that he is thinking, or think that he.thinks that he is think ing. General John M. Palmer has an nounced his intention of voting for McKinley and Roosevelt. The Demo crats who favor an honest currency will not require a half-way station this year. Governor Roosevelt is a Dutchman, or partly a Dutchman, but it is not thought that he considers that the Ger man Americans will vote the Republi can ticket on that account. There is a better reason. There are ten of them. + + \ -f John P. Altgeld's attack upon the war record of Governor Roosevelt is in keeping with the man. The friend of anarchists and revolutionists cannot bo expected to admire robust American ism. Mr Hay, savs Senator Morgan of Alabama, has been wise and statesman like, and his course has been beyond criticism. It is an expansion Democrat, who knows the difference between ex pansion and imperialism that talks this way. It is becoming evident that Mr. Bry- I an does not want much said about free j silver before the election. The Ameri- j can people, however, are not so much concerned in what may be said before election as in what will be done after j t.he election. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1900. Under the heading, "Our Two Re publican Congressional Competitors," this week's Venango Spectator contains the following: "Conversing with a Franklin man at Utiea on Wednesday afternoon, and being asked if he in tended engaging in a debate with his competitor, Mr. Emery said: 'I will meet any man in the United States on the subject of trusts. I will not go into a discussion with Mr. Sibley on general subjects, as we are in accord on about all the issues except trusts and the cur rency. We are both Republicans. Sibley accuses me of straddling the currency. On that subject, however, I don't propose to allow him to take me up in a balloon, by a d—n sight..' This re-affirms the political status of our Congress candidates as we have heretofore described. While the Spec tator is not bu'sting a surcingle in be half of either, it welcomes the campaign of education that is promised by the meeting of these two master Republi can minds in the forum of joint debate. In our notes of the conflict we will ac cord to each Republican a due and honest printed record. As the poet remarks: "We are living, we are dwelling in a grand and awful time.' Our only regret is that the Democrats of our district do not appear to be in it." EDITORIAL HENTION. Mr. Bryan owns a farm, but the mon ey he paid for it was earned by the sweat of his larynx. In contemplating the result of tlu; Ken tucky murder ease it should be borne in mind that the prosecution had the per nicious assistance of" a partisan trial judge. Among the many exhibits in Kansas prosperity is a potato field forty miles long. It is not believed that even the Hon. William Vincent Allen can out-talk this showing. Will Colorado hang back and decline to approve of the prosperity the country isenjoying? Colorado people are believed to be manly and enterprising enough to acknowledge a mistake. It is not necessary to abuse the Demo cratic leaders in this campaign. They regard the liberal employmentot quotation marks as the very worst form of chastise ment. Gold to the amount of 825,000,000 was brought into this country from the Klondike this year. Here is another text for a prolonged weeping spell by Senator Teller. "The gold standard," declared Mr. Bryan in his Minneapolis speech in 1896, '•would destroy the opportunity to work.'' Is Mr. Bryan depending on the votes of idle this year? After surveying all the prediction.-! no made a less vain man than Mr. Bryan would, emulating the example of the par rot, cotne to the conclusion that he had talked too much. "It is only skin deep," declares the Democratic editors in their attempt to ac count for theMcKinley prosperity. Yet they are vigorously opposing every policy calculated to send it deeper. The Supreme Court fell under the dis pleasure of the Democratic party because it would not declare constitutional a piece of partisan legislation, and their party vented its anger by trying to befoul the Before going any further with their arguments the Democratic leaders should explain why it is that, if President Me- Kinley has no backbone, he can so ahead shattering the republic and establishing an empire. Chairman llanna has not been com pelled to attempt an explanation of his connection with trusts for the simple reason that, unlike Chairman Jones, he is not a beneficiary of such organizations. The efforts to introduce foreign issues into the campaign have come exclusively from the Democrats. The Republican platform appeals directly to the American voter and his welfare and doesn't evade a single issue. The Hon. George Fred Williams an nounces the arrival of the empire. Geo. Fred is always a little ahead of time, [t will be recalled that last year he took the precaution to select the Massachusetts delegates to the Kansas City convention. With the Hon. lien Tillman protesting against "government without the consent of the governed," and Dick Crokef ful minating against the ignorance of the peop'c, the Democratic party backs into the campaign with its accustomed dignity and plausibility. The Democrat • are very careful in their campaign against the ship subsidy bill not to say that foreign governments subsidize their merchant ships to the annunt of more than §26,01)0,000, and against which ships unaided American ships can not compete. The general prosperity of the farmers in all parts of the country, north, south cast and west, resulting from good crops and good prices is a legitimate vote mak er for the Republican party. The Lord gave the good crops and the Republicans gave the good markets, and no amount of political misrepresentation can deprive either of the credit due. If Mr. Bryan cared to be candid he ; could discourse more learnedly upon the i art of accumulating wealth than any of ; the other candidates in the .i-Ul. Mr.! Bryan is the wealthiest candidate before the people to-day end he has made his ; money since the inauguration of the poli- j cies against which he de lainc d so vigor- ! ously. Vet Mr. Bryan is selfish enough to decline to give tlie Republican admin- j istration the proper credit for his uood j fortune. "lie voted for Bryan in 1896" is be coming quite a common form of introduc tion for the speakers at the Republican meetings in Kansas this year. The party that must look upon the generally prosperous condition of the coun try as a menace to its political prospects, is in an unfortunate condition deserving of sympathy, but a sympathy which should be devoted to efforts at reformation and not of endorsement at the polls. The country i.s not yet ready to turn ovei the chair which has been tilled by such statesmen and patriots as Washing ton, Lincoln, Grant and Harrison to one who appeals for support on account of his I record against most of the wise legislation that lias been enacted ever since the boy orator commenced to figure it: politics. Democrats pretend to say that if for eign built ships are admitted to American register then American shipbuilders wiU build all the ships the carriage of our foreign commerce employs, while the lie publicans stand fast in support of the statute which has, since the foundation of our Government, reserved American reg istry for American built ships, ermine of the highest and purest court the world has ever known. The country resented the onslaught so much that in the platform this year the Democrats re frained from attacking the court, nor did they mention the measure disapproved by the court, yet they have indorsed the platform which advocated the measure and condemned the court. llussell Sage is not satisfied with the present prosperity. He complains with bitterness that "money is a drug on the market now." In the hard times of the Cleveland administration Mr. Sage could lend out his money with usury. Now lie has to compete even with the farmers of the West, who have become lenders of money where they used to be borrowers. No wonder he is dissatisfied with Mc- Kinley prosperity. Never before in the history of the United States has the output of Southern iron ore and pig iron, lumber, coal and coke been so large as it has been in the last two years, aud not for years, if ever, have the prices been so high. Never be fore was so large a proportion ot southern products shipped from southern ports. Never before has money loaned at such low rates of interest. All this under the gold standard and a protective tariff". Vet the South will probably \ote almost solidly for the free and unlimited coinage of silver and free trade, as personified in Bryan. She will also vote for Bryan's Philippine and China ideas, and to cut off the great and growing oriental market for her cotton goods. I t is the exact truth to say that Mr. Bryan's speech of acceptance was a dis appointment here, greater to the Repub lican managers, possibly, than to the Democrats, lie really dealt in platitudes so generouslo that there is nothing tanui ble in it to attack or pick to pieces Be sides the platitudes there are, of course, innumerable liiuh-flown periods and no end of misstatements of fact, to say noth ing of the stilted and chcstnutty philoso phy, so-called, apparent in the whole thing. Such as it is, however, the Bryan speech of acceptance will be riddled to pieces as time goes on. It is believed that voters everywhere—who will, of e< urse, have opportunity to read it every where—will pick it to pieces for them selves, themselves asking questions at the end of every sentence; asking what Mr. IJryan would actually do under the cir cumstances, what he really means, what of it if it is so, etc. Moreover, it i.s a cow; idly speech, omitting all reference to silver and the overturn of the Supreme Court and the suppression of the negroes now actively in operation everywhere in the South, stultifying in this last particu lar the whole force of the Bryan argu ment of the "consent of the governed." Such as it is, however, the speech will be made to do good service—better on the part of Republicans, probably, than on the part of Democrats. <s This signature is on every l;o\ of the genuine Laxative Tablets the remedy that I'Gsres t\ i:i <ln.y iaM»»-i»OTi»wtK»»rmuminiißiii i«nmn Sonic .11*0 found bleeding and sofe, while others have a fit of the blues.
