A Cry from the Drowning Crew.
Wo almost neglected to call attention
to the wail of woe that emanated from
the brilliant (?) pen of lion. L. Taggart
in lant week's Independent. Mr. Tag
gart, it is well known by our people,
w the Emery manager iii this county,
and, therefore, the dispenser of the
Pure Oil Company's "pap"in the in
terest of reform ('?). He directs his
letter principally to us, else we should
not have noticed it. We have never
yet alluded to the gentleman politi
cally in these columns, and he states
an untruth when he says we "delight
in keeping my name prominently dis
played." During the past eighteen
years he has not been classed as a Re
publican, having been afflicted, terri
bly afflicted, with the political belly
ache ; and not until this year has he
presented himself at a Republican
primary election, when he was a can
didate "for delegate to the last county
convention in the interest of Mr.
Emery. The Republican voters evi
dently understood and were not to be
fooled, for out of a large attendance he
only received three votes Neverthe
less, by participating in the Republican
primary election as a candidate, Mr.
Taggart became in honor bound to
support the Republican ticket this
year if he never did before. We have
not the time or space to devote to the
uncalled-for wail of Mr.Emery's "pap"
handler. He has followed Emery ever
since they both bolted the Republican
caucus nomination for United States
Senator, and General Beaver for Gov
ernor, a patriotic Lincoln Republican,
who lost a leg upon the field of battle
that this government might not die.
" Emery a consistent Republican."
Did you ever know Lewis Emery, Jr.,
to visit this county, or any other, only
when he was assailing Republican can
didates, or was a candidate himself ?
Had Mr. Taggart during the last de
cade, in a single instance, raised his
voice or given an hour to the success
of Republican candidates or principles,
he might have some little influence
with the voters. He has none, and
hence his tirade against Republican
candidates, as usual. He prates about
"machine politicians," yet forgets < but
the people do not) the days when he
was the boss of the "machine" in
this county, and continued as such 1
as long as he was pulling the
political teat—holding the office of
postmaster at Emporium for two full
terms, one term in the legislature and
other emoluments. It was the same
"machine," Mr. Taggart—the great
Republican party—that will bury bo
gus reformers, for all time, on the tith
of November. In his eagerness to
make a showing he publishes the
names of a number of gentlemen and
would endeavor to leave the impres
sion that they are in the same sinking
craft with himself and his crew. After
eracing the names of the gentlemen
who are not, and have not been for
years residents of the county, one
dead, several who are straight-out lie
publicans and express themselves as
such, his company is very slim. No,
Mr. Taggart, the voters of this county
have no halter around their necks this
year and will vote for Jos. C. Sibley,
who will receive a handsome majority,
despite the fact that your Pure Oily
"soap" has been subscribed, it is cur
rently reported, in the modest sum of I
$750,000 tf) debauch the voters in the !
interest of Emery and reform. Since!
molas?e!*i seems to trouble our friend
whose "conscience is as clear as the
sun," may we ask whether that $l5O ,
per month applies to himself and his
committee of reformers?
Personally we have nothing to say
against Mr. Emery or Mr. Taggart.
Their case is with the people.
Just one word more. Mr. Taggart
seeks to cast undue reflection upon
the chairman of the Republican
county committee for refusing to place
names of candidates for Congress upon
the ballots to be voted for at the pri
mary election, contrary to the party
rules. All candidates were treated
alike—Mr. Sibley and Mr. Allen. Sen
ator Emery was not a candidate for the
nomination at that time and was not
until after Mi-. Sibley was nominated—
Senator Emery's paper enthusiastically
supporting him. Our chairman is an
honorable gentleman and obeyed the
party rules, ruling the same as the for
mer chairman did. The charge that
unfair means were resorted to is unjust
and untrue. Our party rules only pro
vide for the printing of names for of
fices to be voted for or nominated by
the county convention and does not
allow the placing of names upon the
ballots for district or state conventions, j
It is not necessary for the editor of j
this journal to explain why he visits
other towns any more than it is our {
business to ask Mr. Taggart why he ;
tinds it convenient to call at Bradford \
or Philadelphia. Rest assured we were ;
not scheming to defeat the Republican 1
party. This journal, its present editor j
or its predecessor, were never classed i
as Bolters, thank God. No man's j
money has ever influenced its course, ;
and never will as long as we are at its j
helm and you know that from past his- I
tory. _____ 1
Blood Poison.
Harry Shadman, night watchman at
C. B. Howard & Company's mill at this i
place has been suffering greatly from 1
a severe case of blood poison in his i
left hand and arm. He is improving
now, under Dr. Baker's treatment.
Honesty is the only safe method of
business. Fool or cheat a man and he
will find it out, and you not only lose
his trade but his friends will leave you.
N. Seger always gives you full value
for your money.

Destroyed by Fire.
11. W. Martindale's hotel, at Sizer
ville, was totally destroyed by fire yes
terday morning at 10:30. The cause of
the fire was a defective flue. Most of
the furniture was removed. The loss on
building and furniture is about §5,000,
i upon which we learn there was an in
surance of §I,OOO. We have not learned
■ of Mr. Martindale's plans in relation to
rebuilding.
A (ireat Success.
The Teachers' Institute, now in ses
sion, is well attended and one of the
most successful ever conducted in this
county. The evening sessions have
been largely attended, the class of lec
turers and entertainers being far above
the average. Miss Collins has reason
to be proud of her efforts.
Notice to Foot ball Players.
The practice of playing foot-ball on
the public streets of Emporium having
became a nuisance and complained of
by taxpayers as such, the kicking or
throwing of foot-balls on the highways
of this borough is ordered discon
tinued under penalty of law.

Chief Burgess.
Arrived too Late.
In our last issue we informed our
readers that Chas. L. Butler had been
called to New Castle, N. 8., by a tele
gram informing him of his father's
serious illness. Mr. Butler arrived at
his old home on Saturday morning at
U:25 a. m., his father having died the
1 previous night, in his 75th year. De
ceased has visited Emporium and is
favorably known by many of our citi
zens, the PRESS editor especially hav
ing had the pleasure of his acquaintance
and we found him a very intelligent
gentleman. While a British subject
lie took great interest in American pol
itics and was a stalwart Republican.

ing charge of the funeral arrangements.
An article in the Kane Leader signed
"E. K. K." evidently Elisha K. Kane,
the most prominent Prohibitionist in
the state, says: "These times are crit
ical. Next congress must pass laws
deciding the fate of nations, and sliap
i ing the course of our country for weal
or for woe. The writer feels that now
if ever, we need statesmen of courage
and fidelity, who will place principle
before party. And he sees such a
statesman in J. C. Sibley." .
Do not forget that the greatest Re
publican mass meeting of the campaign
will be held in the Opera House, Em
; porium, next Wednesday evening,
October 24th, when Hon. Jos. C. Sibley,
Hon. C. W. Mackey, Col. Evans and

A (ienuine Lincoln Republican.
Our old friend J. R. Buckwalter, of
Winchester. Ky., sends us several cop
ies of the "Civil Liberty Democrat,"
published in his town, a paper that is
battling to defeat the miserable gang
of cut-throats that are disgracing Ken
tucky and defying public sentiment.
Mr. B. is chairman of the Republican
county committee of Clark county and
sends us some samples of posters he
has issued for Republican meetings in
that town to be addressed by Teddy
Roosevelt and other Republicans.
How well we remember the sledge
hammer blows dealt by this stalwart
Lincoln Republican when a resident of
Cameron county and how many times
we have wished the return of those
old-time hustlers to Cameron, many of
whom have passed to the other shore.
Prof. Stauffer and Rev. HcNeil.
The reception in the High School
building last night, to Prof, and Mrs.
Stauffer, was a decided success. Not
withstanding the weather being very
unfavorable, more than two hundred
were present. Miss Mary Westcoatt
made the opening address, after which
she introduced James E. Mitchell, who
spoke iu behalf of the Board, paying
many respects to Prof. Stauffer's ability
as an educator Prof. S. C. Smith was
next introduced and his speech in behalf
of the teachers, scholars, Alumni and
citizens of Millville, was worthy of
comment. Prof. Stauffer responded
with warm words of thanks and assur
ances that it would ever be his duty
and pleasure as supervising principal,
to promote the educational welfare, of
Millville. At the request of the presi
dent Miss Mary Westcoatt, Rev. W. R.
McNeil a retired Baptist minister, for
merly of Emporium and for many years
a closo associate of Prof. Stauffor, while
they were at that place, addressed those
present, his good advice combined with
wit and humor, was listened to and en
joyed by all very much.
Miss Hannah Chew sang a solo with
such success that it demanded an en
core. Misses Ella Harold and Mable
Ware then favored those present with
a piano duett, followed by a mandolin
and guitar duett by the Misses Vana
man. Refreshments were served in
the hall throughout the evening.—Mill
ville, N. J., Republican. The above
will be read by the PRESS readers of
this county with pleasure No persons
ever resided in this county who left
more friends than Prof. H. P. Stauffer
and Rev. McNeil. Our Jersey friends
will always find both gentlemen in the
front rank at all times and are men to
be trusted in all emergencies—inlschool,
church or political questions. Both are
gentlemen of pronounced convictions
and never hide their opinions under a
half-bushel measure.
