EDITOR PRESS: —An article appeared
in last week's Driftwood Gazette signed
"Regular." It has been circulated that
I am the author of the miserable rot.
Such is not the case. I wish to say to
all who may think so that I have not
become so low that I would try to slur
some one under the guise of "Regular.''

Are You Going? Yes I
There was a gathering of minstrel
lovers that packed the opera house to
the doors last night, that assembled to
Day court to Barlow & Wilson's min
strels, as they appeared on their annual
engagement. The performance con
sisted entirely of modern minstrel at
tractions. The people went to witness
the ./in de sieclc minstrels of the season,
and found them leaders by several
lengths, for everything went fast
enough to keep the most lively on the
qui vive. Their efficient agent told the
truth when he said that the company
was better this year than ever before.
The performance abounds in new feat
ures, which kept the audience in a con
tinual state of hilarity, the hit of the
evening being made by "the great
Barlow and Wilson." The vocal num
bers are gems of the first water. The
company is far superior to the usual
standard attraction. Cincinnati En
quirer.
This fine minstrel company will give
their performance at the Emporium
opera house Thursday, Oct. 11, 1900.
Admission, 35c.; children, 25c. Re
served seats, 50c., at Lloyd's.
Prices lor the Barlow & Wilson min

A Feeble Effort.
The Emery aggregation pitched its
tent in Emporium Monday evening at
the opera house. "What was it?" is
still asked by those who attended. Mr.
Emery is the democratic nominee for
Congress, duly nominated by the de
mocracy in convention assembled, yet
it appeared on Monday evening that
the democratic bosses of Cameron
county were ignored. W. H. Howard
presided as chairman and tired the
audience with a speech one hour and
forty-seven minutes long to convince
the listeners that he was not always a
reliable Republican,in fact had recent
ly voted the straignt democratic ticket.
A long list of vice-presidents was read,
consisting of many men who were not
present and loyal,straight Republicans,
to make it .appear that the Emery vote
in this county would be largely from
representative Republicans, when the
facts are that about the only Republi
can vote Emery will catch in Empo
rium sat upon the stage last Monday
evening. Eugene Mullin, Esq., of
Bradford, was the first speaker. He
labored hard and at a great disadvan
tage, and when he started out against
expansion soon saw that he could not
catch the audience by such talk. After
floating all around and saying nothing
he gave way for Senator Emery, who
spoke for more than an hour to con
vince his Republican hearers that he
was a Repubican and in case Bryan was
elected a good democrat. He failed to
inform his audience how he would vote,
if elected,upon the election of Speaker
of Congress and failed to deny that he
had agreed to vote for a free -trade, free
silver Speaker in consideration of the
democratic nomination. The meeting
was a flat failure, and none of the en
thusiasm expected by the Liucoln-
Bryan-'Dependent Republicans made
its appearance. The meeting was a
great disappointment to the Emery
followers, while the democrats were i
keenly disgusted with the fusion T- 1

Emery's Contrasts.
Emery won't debate.
Emery won't abide by majority.
Emery won't utaE'l by his "primary"
convictions.
Emery won't practice anti-monopoly,
which he pretends to represent.
Emery won't stick to any party's j
principles.
Emery won't say which candidate for
speaker ot the House he would vote for
if elected.
Emery won't pay his oil workers the
prevailing highest scale of wages.
Emery will run for any office, any
lime.
Emery will compromise with any and
all political parties providing a few
votes can be made by it.
Emery will repudiate political sin
cerity for personal selfishness.
Emery will encourage discord and
promote strife in the party he pretends
to support.
Emery will kill business competition
and close factories to increase divi
dends.—Bradford Star.
Hon. J. C. Sibley could not deny the
prosperity of Republicanism, so he left
the Democrats to become a Republican
and now he is styled "a treacherous
flopper" by some Democrats and all
renegade Republicans. Hon. L. Emery
was a Republican, supported Mr. Sib
ley for the nomination, then came out
as a candidate against him, and is now
posing as a Democrat before Demo
crats and as an Independent Republi
can before Republicans, and these same
Democrats and renegade Republicans
will tell you he is an honest man and a
candidate for the purpose of purifying
the politics of this district. These are
plain facts that make the fusiouists
wince when forced to face them.—

The Extreme of Perfidy.
On the sth of last April the Republi- |
can primary election was held in Mc-
Kean county and Mr. Sibley received a
majority of 1,170 votes. Mr Emery's
paper had supported him and had writ
ten thestrongest possible endorsements I
of his political position, great ability as I
a public man and personal character as j
a citizen. There was nothing too good :
Co be said of him by Mr. Emery, in
private conversation or in his paper.
In the issue of that paper April 9, four
days after the primaries he said:
"The result of Saturday's Republican
•nphacises the futility of the
-.cement in McKea'n coun
ty. The returns give no hope of future
wer to the men who sought to disrupt
tne party organization. It is well.
There is no doubt in the mind of any
one now as to the position of the Re
publican party in McKean ccunty."
The "result" referred to was the
nomination of Mr. Sibley in McKean
county by 1,170 majority. The "insurg
ent movement" was the opposition to
Mr. Sibley in that county, or as the
Record has it,"the men who sought to
disrupt the party organization." Look
ing upon the overthrow of the opposi
tion to Mr. Sibley at that time the
Record said, "It is well. There is no
doubt in the mind of anyone now as to
the position of the Republican party in
McKean county." In Mr. Emery's
opinion Sibley was the best man for the
place and should have had a unanimous
vote, but the "insurgents" had refused
to have it so and had justly suffered
an overwhelming defeat. He thought
there could be no doubt about the po
sition of the "insurgents." The Re
publicans of McKean had put the brand
upon them of 1,170 majority and Mr.
Emery's opinion was tersely expressed
by declaring, "It is well." In less than
a hundred days thereafter this man
met the same "insurgents" ia a public
hall in Bradford and heard with ap
proving smiles such charges against
Mr. Sibley as ought to send a man to
tho penitentiary.
Glorying in the defeat of the "in
surgents," and in less than one hundred
days heading their number and joining
in vile denunciation of the man in
whose praise he had exhausted his vo
cabulary, is an act of perfidy few men
were ever known to perform. Emery
charges Sibley with being fickle, but
every charge made by him has been in
following the beckonings of honorable
impulses, but Emery has changed at
the voice of the tempter who held out
illusive promises requiring tho sacrifice
of his honor. Neither Emery nor any
friend has yet attempted to explain his
changed attitude toward Mr. Sibley
except by the fact that he wants togo
to Congress himself. Now, what are
voters of the district going to do? Are
they dogs to be set on and called off at
the pleasure of Emery? Are they to
laud Mr. Sibley to the skies with ful
some praise in April, and from July to
election damn him to the depths? Not
very likely.—Bradford Era.
Thanks.
The ladies of the First Methodist
Episcopal Church wish to extend to all
contributors to and patrong of their

splendid success achieved was made
possible by the generous patronage of

I SPECIAL TRAINS from Emporium, Sinnamahoning, and intermedi- 5
ate points, for the accommodation of all who may desire to attend ; I
returning after the meeting. A cordial invitation is extended to all. I
Emery is not sure whether he is for
McKinley or for Bryan. He is "going
to shoot so as to kill it if it is a deer but
miss it if it is a calf." Republican as
well as Democrat will say to Emery, as
is said in Holy Writ, "Because thou art
neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee
out of my mouth." There is more in
the same book showing that the proper
way for a Republican to get to Congress
from this district is togo through the
primary election, viz: "He thatenter
eth not in at the straight gate, but
climbeth up another way, the same is a
thief and a robber."—Bradford Star.
The surest way to get the ill-will of a
mean man is to do him a favor. It is a
noticeable fact that the small band of
Republicans who are going about ac
tively opposing their party nominee
for Congress have all been office-hold
ers. The fat on their ribs has been
placed there by the misplaced kindness
of the Republican party. Let the voter
consider the following array: Lew
Emery, ex-Senator; J. W. Lee, ex-Sen
ator; Fred Hayes, ex-member of Legis
lature; John Mattox, ex-member of
Legislature; B. F. Gault, ex-Sheriff.
Each one of these men, when he was
the nominee of the Republican party,
claimed that the nomination at the
primaries pledged the Republicans to
vote for him at the general election.
Now they claim that the rule which re
quired the party to support them does
not require them to support the nomi
nees of the party. "On what meat do
thef-e Caeears feed that they have
grown EO grtat?"—Bradloid Star.

The Quay Spellbinders.
Last Thursday our people were privi
ledged, for the first time, to greet Sena
tor M. S. Quay and the gentlemen ac
companying him, Gov. W. A. Stone,
Attorney Gen. Elkin, Maj. Alex. Mc-
Dowell and others. The distinguished
guests were resting here between trains,
being enroute to Coudersport, where a
monster demonstration was held
Thursday evening. Both the court
house and opera house were crowded
to meet the grand old man. While it
was not intended to make a demonstra
tion at Emporium, yet many of our
citizens, representing both parties,
called upon the stalwart of stalwart
Republicans. ITe made a very favor
able impression upon many who for
merly were led to believe that Senator
Quay actually had horns. The recep
tions tendered Senator Quay and
party exceed anything witnessed in
this state in twenty years. No speaker
has appeared before Pennsylvania
audiences in many years who has so
combined the qualities that hold the
crowd with those that attract the mind
of the scholar. What Senator Quay is
in his private conversations he is in
his public addresses. It is the man
himself that people see and hear, with
out veneer or pretense. He is a grand
old man and the glorious receptions
tendered him wherever he goes is evi
dence that the people, always right,
are with him.
Wedding Bells.
A pleasant home wedding took place
at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Ur
bian Boutain, in this place, last even
ing, the occasion being the marriage of
their daughter, Miss Mary E., to Mr
Fred. Mills, of Seattle, Wash. Only
about fifty intimate friends of the con
tracting parties and family were in
vited. Rev. Downey tied the knot in
his usual substantial manner. The
pleasant homo was beautifully deco
rated for the occasion. Promptly at
6:30 the bridal party entered the par
lor (Mr. Jno. Vail acting as best man
and Miss Sydna Boutain bride's-maid)
to the strains of the wedding march,
rendered by Miss May Gould. It was
a very happy occasion, and the con
gratulations extended the young cou
ple were many. The bride was richly
gowned, and,while always a handsome
young lady, was more beautiful than
ever. They were the recipients of
numerous handsome presents. After
a sumptuous wedding dinner, Mr. and
Mrs. Mills departed on Erie mail for
an extended tour, taking in New York,
Washington and Florida ; returning
Emporium for a short visit, after wh_. n
they goto the Pacific coast.
The bride has resided in Emporium
a number of years, and has always been
highly respected by our citizens, one
and all of whom wish her a long life of
happiness with love's choice. Mr.
Mills, who is a stranger iu our midst,
is a member of a gold mining company
in Alaska, although his parents and
home are in Seattle. After returning
from Alaska, Mr. and Mrs. Mills will
make their home at Seattle, Wash.
The PRESS editor had the pleasure of
meeting the groom and found him a
very intelligent and pleasant gentle
man, well posted upon all public mat
ters, especially his chosen calling—
mining.
Death's Doings.
LINGLE,
MRS. PERCILLA LINGLE, aged 65
years, wife of John Lingle, Esq., one
of Rich Valley's most estimable citi
zens, also mother of Jos. J. Lingle, of
this place, died at the family residence
last Thursday, after an illness of sev
eral months. The funeral was held
from the home where she so long re
sided last Saturday afternoon, and was
largely attended. Rev. Walter Rea
dette officiated and held appropriate
services in the church. Mother Lingle
was a kind and benevolent lady and
highly respected by all who knew her.
The aged father and children have the
sympathy of our citizens. While the
writer was not personally acquainted
with the lady yet we know, from hav
ing listened to the motherly kindness
bestowed upon a friend, that she must
have been a good mother and a faithful
wife, and made the world better for
her having lived in it.

There will be a benefit ball at the
