Seibert Tells Why
He Bolts Democracy.
Democratic Chairman of Potter County Says
the Only Trust Ignored at St. Louis was
Trust in G-od.
The only trust, I believe, for
gotten or ignored by the national
convention was the trust in (iod,"
is the declaration of L. B. Seibert,
leader of the Potter county Demo
cratic bolters.
Seibert who has resigned the j
chairmanship of the Democratic!
county committee, and his follow- j
ers in the revolt feel no more kind- |
ly disposed to the Parker-Davis !
ticket than they did the day it was I
nominated. They say they are I
not to be wheeled about by the j
convention's repudiation of Bryan- j
ism, and they charge the nomina- j
tion of Parker directly to the in- ,
fluence of Wall street and the |
trusts.
CAN'T TIt.YVUI, ON TWO ROADS,
The ex-county chairman has put |
forth what might be called a pro- !
claniation, in the course of which i
he says:
To me, it is 110 consequence
what others may do. My con-j
science is my own; my duty is j
plain. In my judgement the two;
contending forces within the Demo- j
cratic party have come to the part- j
ing of the ways. Along both of i
these pathways I am unable to
travel with any degree of safety, j
success or self-respect. Neither j
shall I undertake it. To others of |
a more acrobatic turn of mind this |
might be possible, and, indeed, !
may meet with a certain de- j
gree of transitory success.
The heritage of Jackson, 110 j
longer the Mecca of Democratic
hosts, is to be displaced by a j
memorial to Shylock, erected at!
the gateway of the Temple of:
Democracy, over which, indeed, |
well be incribed: "He who en-1
ters here leaves hope behind."
From Buzzard's Hay to W'ool
fert's Roost; from Wall to Lom
bard street, is sounded, echoed and :
re-echoed this slogan of the pres- j
ent. campaign: "Another Cleve
land; another administration like |
that of from 1892 to 1890: more!
soup houses; more bond issues; j
more forced idleness—less honest
toil: more money in the public
jackpot—less bread for the hungry !
millions; more Coxey's armies— j
less public improvement; more J
keep off the grass—less comfort for (
God's poor: more smokeless smoke-1
stacks; more tramps: more troops j
for Chicago rioters—less liberty for!
the American workman, more gov- j
ernment by injuntion—less jury ;
trials: more banks—less money for !
the people; more business stagna- ,
tion—less enterprise: more Sheriff's :
sales; more poor houses."
AI'I'AI,LI:N JIV I'AHTY'S COURSJC
From a repetition of this awful
condition of things. 1 turn, as I ,
would from the wrath of God. It
does not interest me; it appals. 1
It does not satisfy: it angers me.
The men in the Democratic
saddle are good riders, but bad
reinsmen. They would ride the
Democratic horse off Belmont's
track.
Such conduct, such conditions, j
Fred fliller Demised.
Fred Miller, an aged resident of this
city, died Saturday morning after a
brief illness. He had worked on Fri
day and was considered to be in his .
usual health. Heart disease was the
cause. He was fifty years of age and
had been a laborer in the Port Alle
gany tannery for upwards of twenty
years. A wife and three children, Nel
lie, Katie and Albert Miller, mourn
his demise. He was an honest, good
citizen and his demise is generally de
plored. He was a member of the Mac
cabees of the city and carried a poiicy
for two thousand dollars. The funeral
was held Monday, Rev. Reed officiat
ing Jand the interment made in Fair
view cemetery.—Port Allegany Re
ported.

C. W. HALL.
such leadership are .said to be by
the action of the St. Louis conven
tion, "safe, sane and conserva
tive." The St. Louis convention
was absolutely controlled and in
fluenced by interests hostile to
every tenet of Democracy. They,
I who deserted the party in 189(5
| and 1900, were made masters of the
| situation.
Every unlawful and criminal
j trust was legally, actually and
| properly represented in that body.
, Their paid hirelings and hoodlums
j hooted and jeered Mr. Bryan and
| other distinguished Democrats
j simply because they attempted to
| save the Democratic party from
utter rout and pending aunibila
! tion.
I The only trust, I believe, for
j gotten or ignored by that conven
tion was the trust in God, as evi
| denced by the hooting and shout
; ing during the prayer of the chap
| lain.
Those, whose intrigue was in
| directly the cause of the assassin's
i blow that killed Governor Goebel,
; of Kentucky, were the loudest ad
! vocates of the "safe, sane and con
j servative Democracy." They who
| cheered llobson, that "Jack
j Ashore," when lie eulogized
| Grover Cleveland for sending
I'nited States troops to Chicago to
shoot down strikers, are not Demo
j crats; at least, not my kind of
j Democrats.
,
Till SI'S IIAM) IN IT A 1.1,.
It was but natural that a. conven
tion controlled by such influences,
made drunken by contributions
1 from llu; Louisville, the Standard
j Oil, the Sugar Trust and kindred
| interests, could not give birth to a
| legitimate standard-bearer of true
i Democracy; but in keeping with
i the natural order of things a can
didate with the cunning of a clam
: was brought into political existence
| by Senator Hill.
The Sheelians, Belmonts and
McCarrens immediately became his
trusted friends and adviserers. His
: name was presented to the conven
| tion and he was nominated.
Though suffering with political
| luckjaw, this "human interroga-
I tion joint" found time to speak.
| After the mischief had been done,
| lie informed Mr. Sheehan of that
J which Mr. Sheehan well knew be
j fore the nomination, that he,
I Parker, would repudiate the eon
| ditions, upon which the nomina
j tion had been effected.
In conclusion, permit me to add
j that the "safe, sane and conserva
! tive" have separated themselves
i socially, politically and, thank
' (iod, morally from the unsafe, un
sound and non-conservative fol
lowing of Mr. Bryan. Lunatic
regularity, it would seem, must be
I both unsatisfactory, and undesir
able to the "safe and sane."
For these and many other
reasons, which I hope to make en
tirely plain to you before Novem
ber next. 1 cannot and will not
i vote for Alton B. Parker, agreeing
with many of 1113' associates that
the initials of his name stand for
! A Bad Proposition.

DEATH'S il)OIN(iS.
JORDAN.
WILLIAM ORLOW JORDAN died at
| the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
; J. K. Jordan, Went Sixth street,, Sun
j day evening about 10:30 o'clock from
! tuburculosis of the throat. He was
i but in the twenty-sixth year of liisage
I and the general community not being
aware of the serious nature of his ill
ness, heard the announcement of his
death with mingled feelings of surprise
and sorrow. His illness began three
years ago, in Coudersport, where he
held a responsible position with a lead
ing mercantile firm and where his too
close application to work superinduced
the attack that baffled the best efforts
of his physicians. He was subse
quently employed in Chicago and
spent the last winter in Pensacola,
Florida, in the hope of regaining his
health but with >ut avail. A letter re
ceived from his employer in Florida
bears testimony to the psitience and
perseverance of his habits of industry
and the pureneas of his life. He was a
member of the First Methodist Episco
pal Churc 1 of Emporium and during
his residence here was regular in his
Sunday School attendance and active*
in promoting the interests of the Ep
worth League Chipter, to which he
was closely attached. Mr. Jodan was
a young man of many sterling qualities
and was highly esteemed by every
body. He was modest and retiring in
his disposition. Realizing his probable
nearness to death he displayed no
feelings of dread but was kept tranquil
by the repose of his trust in God.
He was a member of the class of'9s
of the Emporium High School. I{<>. was
also a member of Eulalia Lodge, No. j
342, F. & A, M , Coudersport, Pa., and >
a member of the Scottish Rites Masons I
of the same place.
Surviving him are a lather and I
mother, two brothers Joseph and Harry
and a sister Rena.
The floral display was beautiful and
consisted of many expensive pieces,
especially the Masonic ofteriug.
His funeral was held from the hs ne
of his parents, Wednesday afternoon,
and was in charge of his pastor the
Rev. 0. S. Metzler. The choir of the
First Methodist Episcopal Church ren
dered appropriate music. Members of
the local Masonic Lodge attended in a
body and performed their ritual at the
grave.

GALLAGHER.
After an illness of over three years,
MRS. NAN. S. GALLAGHER, wife of Mr.
Thos. Gallagher, Pennsylvania freight
and ticket agent at Emporium, passed |
away last Saturday evening at 10:20 j
o'clock. During her long illness she i
made a gallant light to live and every j
means secured to check the malady, |
anaemia, but death had claimed her and I
she resignedly awaited the final sum- j
tnons, peacefully sleeping away, sur- i
rounded by her loved ones.
Mrs. Gallagher, who was born at J
Grant, Herkimer county, N. Y., Dec. !
25, 1850, came to Emporium in the |
early spring of 1875 and resided with j
her brother, Dr. W. H DeLong and
wife until Nov. 15th, 1883, when she
was united in marriage to Mr. Gal
lagher. Deceased leaves a husband, a
niece, (Miss Mazie Gallagher, who has
resided with the family since infancy ),
three sisters, Mrs. Campbell, Mrs.
Popple, Grant, N. Y., and Mrs. Smith,
Utica, N. Y., and two brothers, Dr. W.
H. DeLong, of Emporia, Fla., (now
here during the summer) and George, j
of Indiana.
During all these years Mrs. Gallagher j
has been active in social and christian j
work, a leader in society and one al- i
ways willing to load, no matter how !
exacting the duties were. Her home, !
one of the most pleasant in town, was!
always open to her friends, and they {
were legion. Her unselfish hospital- I
ity, so well know to our citizens, needs I
no flattery at our hands. We have all
been her debtor for years. The writer j
well remembers, twenty-one years ;
ago when she and her honored hus- j
band assisted us as bride's maid and i
best man and deeply regret the bonds ;
of friendship then formed have, in
part, been broken We in common
with many of the girls and boys of
those days can look back with pleas
ure to the hundreds of joyous, happy
times, in all of which figured Mr. j
and Mrs. Gallagher. The life of this j
excellent lady furnishes material for a
lengthy obituary, but since securing !
the Rector's remarks, so eloquently
! delivered, we will close with the full
realization that the memory of deceas
ed will long live in the hearts of her
Emporium friends.
THE FUNERAL.
Last Tuesday afternoon, at two
o'clock, the funeral services were con
ducted at the family residence, Rev. J.
M. Robertson, Rector of Emmanuel
Episcopal Church officiating. The
singing was furnished by the church
choir and the vestrymen served as
pall bearers. The services were large
ly attended by our citizens. Rev. Rob
ertson's remarks being so appropriate
we take pleasure in publishing the
same.
REV. J. M. ROBERTSON'S REMARKS.
We are assembled to-day to pay the
last debt of sacred respect and affection
to the earthly remains of one who for
many years has held a large and warm
place in our hearts; whose influence
upon us all has been strong and pro
nounced, and by whose life the world
has been the better.
In every sphere and relationship of
life she has played a good part. In the
home circle she was a model of wifely
devotion and of every domestic virtue.
Possessed of the winsome qualities
which make and retain friendships,
she was ever a center and leader among
her wide circle of friends. A figure
and force in the community, she was
particularly an active worker and a
prime leader in the life and affairs of
Emmanuel Parish. For twenty-seven
years she was a communicant of this
Parish, and in all that time her heart
was full of its interests. Only when
the failure of her physical strength ab
solutely compelled it did she reluc
tantly lay down her active part in its
affairs. It would be impossible and
out of place at this time to attempt to
rehearse in detail all that she has done
in the life of our Parish during a period
covering more than a quarter of a cen
tury. At some future time this story
ought to be told at length. Enough at
present to say that the place which she
occupied in Emmanuel Parish has been
a large place, and the void which her
departure creates will not be soon or
easily filled.
There are different types of saints in
God's Church and Kingdom There
are those who like Mary of Bethany !
choose the quiet life of spiritual medi
tation and converse; and there are
those who like her sister Martha are
energetic and influential in outward
activities Each type has its place, its !
use and its reward. It was pre-emi- i
nently as a leaderin outward activities j
that Mrs. Gallagher served well and '
faithful her Church and Parish. Her!
work and influence will not perish, nor '
be soon forgotten; and we give thanks j
to God for the example of tier faithful, ;
loving, loyal service.
In her long illness she was very pa- i
tient and cheerful and brave. She had j
long recognized the possibility of a
fatal termination of her illness and was
resigned and prepared for what might
be in store; but she made it a matter
of purpose and effort to maiutain an
attitude of hope and cheerfulness. At
all times she was very considerate of
others, and maintained to the last her
kindly interest in the affairs and well
being of others.
A lovable and winsome personality,
she was brave and strong in spirit, de
termined, persistent, masterful to the
last. Her physical strength has failed,
but it is impossible for us to think of
her lovable and good and brave and
stedfast spirit failing. We can only
believe, in the spirit of the Apostle's
teaching, that death to her is but a
change, a transition, a release from the
narrow confines and fetters of this
earthly life into the largeness and free
dom of the heavenly life.
RELATIVES AND FRIENDS.
The following relatives and friends
of the family were in attendance at
the funeral, from out of town: Mr.
Roger Gallagher, Buffalo; Mrs. J. B.
Revilla, Philadelphia; Mr. and Mrs.
John Gallagher, Pittsburg; the first
three being brothers and sister of Mr.
Gallagher. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Rich,
very dear friends, Randolph, N. Y.;
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Swain, Keating
Summit; Mrs. E. C. Davison, Miss
Mary Davison, Johnsonburg.
FLORAL OFFERINGS.
The floral offerings from Emmanuel
Sewing Society, Emmanuel Vestry,
social society and intimate friends
were especially beautiful. There was
a great abundance of cut flowers and
ferns, speaking volumes of the high
regard in which the deceased was held.
Interment was made in Newton
Cemetery.
Thus closed the earthly career of an
other valued Emporium resident, one
whose place will be difficult to fill.
Disgraceful Exhibition.
A disgraceful fight took place on
Fourth street last Monday evening be
tween R. P. Bingeman and Major Dor
vall. During the fight Bingeman push
ed or knocked Dorvall through one of
L. Taggart's large plate glass windows, j
Policeman Mundy, aided by a number
of our citizens parted the contestants '
and placed them under arrest. A riot
almost resulted, the howling mob at
tempted to secure Mr. Bingeman, but
Mundy stood his ground and protect* j
ed his prisoner. We understand they !
gave bail for their appearance at court I
and paid the costs, the window alone j
costing $75.00.
DEATH STRIKES
DOWN FORMER
STATE RULER.
Ex-Governor Pattison Dies of Pneumonia
Complicated With Heart Failure.
Robert E. Pattison, who was twice
Democratic Governor of Pennsylvania,
and twice Controller of Philadelphia,
died early on Monday .at his home in
Overbrook. Pneumonia, complicated
with a weakness of the heart, was the
cause of death.
Mr. Pattison was a candidate for
Governor on the Democratic ticket
against Governor Pennypacker in 1902,
and had not been a well man since his
laborious campaign in that year, when
his tour of seven weeks covered nearly
every county in the State.
He was a member of the committee
on resolutions of the recent Democratic
convention and his health failed under
the strain. He remained in St. Louis
a few days after the convention to rest
and, returning home, resumed his busi
ness, dividing his time between Phila
delphia and New York.
Last Friday pneumonia developed
and heart complications aggravated
Mr. Pattison's illness.
Consistency Thou Art a Jewel.
Democratic Boss Hockley, editor of
the Independent, Chairman of the
Democratic County Committee, has
broken loose again in an uncalled for
personal attack on the editor of the
PRESS. All one has to do to stir up
this spider, is to impugn his political
motives and up he jumps like a Filip
pino, looking for blood. "Editorial
etiquette" requires one to handle pub
lic questions in a manly manner and if
the editor of the Independent, thus
early in the campaign, commences his
usual low-down billingsgate lie will ex
haust his venom before the heated
season passes. We have in the past
ignored his personal attacks upon us,
deeming them beneath our notice, and
shall consider, as the public does, the
unreliable source from whence it is
vomited.
Eye Specialist.
Prof. W. H. Budine, the well known
Eye Specialist, of Binghamton, N. Y.,
will be at R. 11. Hirsch's jewelry
store, Emporium, Pa, August 12th
and 13th. If you can't see well or have
headache don't fail to call and see Prof.
Budine, as he guarantees to cure all
such cases. Lenses ground and fitted
in old frames. Eyes tested and ex
amined free. All work guaranteed.
Popular Visitors.
Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Rich, of Ran
dolph, N. Y., arrived in Emporium on
Monday to attend the funeral of Mrs.
Thos. Gallagher, an intimate friend
for many years. While remaining in
Emporium for a few days our citizens
were pleased to greet them, they al
ways maintaining a warm place in the
hearts of Emporiumites when residing
here.
They are delighted with the im
proved appearance of Emporium and
the excellent service given them at the
New Warner, including their elegant
furnished rooms, and may extend
their visit for several weeks.
Absconded.
Jas. Walker, Jr., secretary of Whar
ton (Potter county) school board ab
