i SIB ns i MH ii ant
The Republicans of this Congressional district formally opened the campaign at Bradford last Tues
day evening. Special trains brought the people from all sections of the conntv and when the
hour for opening the meeting arrived the Lyceum theatre was crowded to the doors. The meet
ing was addressed by Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio, a close personal friend of President McKinley,
and Hon. Jos. C. Sibley, the Republican candidates for Congress from this district. Ex-Cou
gressinan W. W. Brown, of Bradford, presided as chairman. Gen. Grosvenor's speech was an
able one and coming, as it did from one so close to President McKinley, it carried conviction.
Congressman Sibley was well received and delivered an able speech. We have not the space to
publish the entire address, but give an interesting portion of same.
Ido not wish to say anything that is unfair. I said to my opponent: "If I should make this challenge through the
medium of the public press, I should not wish you to interpret that it was done in any spirit of bluster;" and further
stated if he would so interpret I would not undertake to make such challenge. Meeting my distinguished opponent,
your townsman, at the Harvest Home gathering at Cooperstown, Pa., where several thousand people were present, the
suggestion was made by me that, inasmuch as he and I were both to speak at Utica the following week, if it was agree
able and conformable to his taste and wishes and to the management, that ho and I could divide the time equally and
jointly discuss those issues which were uppermost in the minds of the American people at the present moment. Later
on the same day Senator Lee, after a consultation with my opponent, in the presence of 3,000 or more people, stated
that Mr. Emery did not consider a farmers' gathering, where they had met for social reunion, as the proper place for a
political discussion, but at the proper time he would meet me wherever and whenever I desired, in a discussion of the
issues of the present moment. Three weeks ago this coming Wednesday I issued an invitation for a joint discussion.
Have you read it? Was it couched in respectful language, such as one gentleman might address to another? I thought
so. Read it again if you doubt it. I have not learned of any interruption in the mail service between my little city
and yours. But I have yet to receive an acknowledgement of the letter. Now T will venture to say there is not a man
in this audience who ever wrote to me at Washington on either a private or public matter that did not get acknowl
edgement it four days. The letter to my opponent may have strayed. I want to say in good faith that I believed he
and I could go through this district, look into your faces, he interrogating me and giving me the sharp thrusts that I
know he can so well give, being an able speaker and a man who has perhaps exercised as wide an influence on the pol
itics of Western Pennsylvania as any citizen, and we will discuss those issues and you as jurors can try, truly judge
and decide; and, elected or defeated, I will cheerfully abide by your verdict. It seems to me that would be putting
politics upon as high a plane as it could possibly be placed, it would stop the clamor of newspaper scribblers and writ
ers. In this connection let me read you something from a newspaper, for I read the newspapers sometimes. This is
from the Driftwood Weekly Gazette, from the adjoining county of Cameron, and has been published in all the papers
of this district antagonistic to me:
"The Gazette will support Hon. Lewis Emery, Jr., for Congress, to represent the 27th Congressional district, be
lieving that in so doing it will be representing clean politics and a man who can be trusted as against corrupt politics
and a political contortionist who will do anything to help himself into office and help throw governmental control into
the hands oi the most gigantic corporation in the world. Mr. Emery is independent enough to be admired by all be
lievers in honest politics and has not straddled every political fence to satisfy selfish political ambition, and is by far
