AN ADDRESS BY REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE mjk jM JHHHRHH HE SHATTERS THE ARGU MENT OF THE OPPOSITION. TURNS TABLES ON HARMAN AND BERRY Points Out the Failure of the Con- ! tentlon of the Opposition, Which He Denounces as a Reflection on Governor Stuart and Auditor General Young. KANE, OCTOBER 21. —John O Sheatz was enthusiastically greeted by a large number of Republican party workers and voters of the lower part of McKean county at a mass meeting here last evening. The gathering was held in the Young Men's Chris tian Association hall, which has a seating capacity of about 600, but fully 800 were packed in the room. The audience included many veterans of the Civil war, and the chairman of the meeting, Postmaster Lucius Rog ers is one of the leading Grand Army men in this vicinity. In presenting Mr. Sheatz Chairman Rogers stigmatized as "villainous falsehoods" the assertions made in the interest of the Democratic candi date that Sheatz, as chairman of the Appropriations committee of the House at the last legislative session, had loaded the veterans' pension bill with a large appropriation so as to insure its veto bv the Governor. He appealed to all the old soldiers to support Mr. Sheatz as a loyal Repub lican and the "sincere friend of the boys who wore the blue." RECEIVED WITH ENTHUSIASM. Mr. Sheatz was received with great applause when he faced the audience. He spoke in conversational style, re lating the assurance that there was no bargaining on his part in connection with his nomination and that no one had any authority to make any pledge or promise to any man or any set of men which he would in any way rec ognize. "My only obligation, if I shall be elected," he said, "will be to.the people of the Keystone State, and that obligation will be to give an honest, upright and efficient administration of the office." In regard to the contention of State Treasurer Berry and Democratic Treasurer Candidate Harman that the latter should be elected because a Democrat Bhould be on the Board of Public Grounds and Buildings at Har risburg, Mr. Sheatz said that such an argument was a reflection on Gover nor Stuart and Auditor General Young, or both. "It implies," he 1 said, "that either or both of these J high officials are dishonest and it ; also suggests the idea that a board composed of three Republican mem -1 bers would not perform its duties | properly. Such an insinuation is ab j absurd on its face. If a Democrat is ! needed to act BB a check upon Gov ! ernor Stuart and Auditor General i Young, then the reverse would be true if these offices should happen to I be occupied by Democrats, and 1 urn J positive that if there was a Demo "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1907. cratic Governor and a Democratic Auditor General at Harrisburg neither State Treasurer Berry nor Candidate Harman would advocate the election of a Republiceti to suc ceed Berry." :k.. " • CONGRESSMAN CHARLES F. BARCLAY. OTHER SPEECHES. Speeches were also made by State Representatives E. E. Beldelman, of Dauphin county; Josiah Howard, of Cameron, and Congressman C. F., Barclay, of"the Twenty-first district," comprising Cameron, Clearfield, Cen tre and McKean counties. Mr. Sheatz and the other orators reached here last evening from Brad ford. .En route they stopped off at Smethport, county seat of McKean, and were entertained at dinner by a local committee. Upon their arrival here they were taken in charge by a reception com mittee and escorted to the Griflfln ho tel, where the candidate held a recep tion and was serenaded by a band of music. Notice N.

The furniture on first story was saved, but the vegetables in his cellar as well as the flirniture in second story was destroyed. We hear he had SSOO insurance. According to its own honest confes sion the time has been when the Inde pendent hafl been hard put to it to find any good to say for some of its own candidates. By the same token it has often been hard put to it to find any thing to say against the Republican candidates. A case in point this year is Mr. John O. Sheatz, our nominee for State Treasurer.

Our fore man has been called away on account of death, while another employee has a crippled finger, thereby putting us "strictly up against it." We ask the indulgence of our readers and patronß for this issue. We hope to secure ad ditional help in order to catch up with the great amount of work now in our jobbing department. Snch is life.

It took New York by storm and was welcomed with a chorus of praise that crowded the theatre for months. The same record has been made by the company that will appear in "Leah Kleschna" at the Emporium Opera House on Saturday evening, Oct. 26th, which is also nnder Harrison Qrey Fisk's management, and is said everywhere to be of metropolitan ex cellence and to give the greatest satis faction. Its appearance here is a big event and there will be a large demand for seats when the sale opens on Oct. 24th. The Campaign Closes. On Tuesday, Nov. 5, the electors of Cameron county will again declare themselves in favor of the Republican principles and its candidates. While this is an off year there will no doubt be a light vote, possibly not more than one thousand in this county. Only two condidates are in the field—Hon. John O. Sheatz, for State Treasurer, and Charles J. Howard for County Treasurer. Both are entitled to your votes and should have a rousing ma-, jority in this county. Mr. Sheatz ac companied by Hon. Charles F. Bar clay and Hon. Josiah Howard last week made a tour of McKean county and addressed meetings at Bradford, Smethport, Mt .Jewitt and 1 Kane. The fact was clearly demor i strated that the old soldiers take no j stock in the wail from the Fishing , Creek Confederacy candidate Harman. j The old boys in blue will make an X in | the Republican box. DEATH'S DOINGS PYE. MRS. SARAH ELIZABETH PYE, aged 56 years, wife of John S.

Cottage Hotel Leased. County Treasurer John Cummings informs the PRESS that he has rented the Cottage Hotel—selling the furni ture and stock—to Mr. Wm. Bente, of Pittsburg. Pittsburgers seem to be stuck on Emporium, this being the third landlord to locate here within a few months. Happy Events. One of the most pleasant events tbat ever occured among the colored so ciety of Emporium, took place at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Dorsey, East Allegan)' avenue, last Friday evening, when Mrs. W. H. Brady as sisted by Miss Annitta Dorsey, ten dered them a surprise party in honor of the twenty-second year of their married life.

A center piece of flowers, autumn leaves and all the fruits of the season. An elabo ate supper was served by Mrs. Brady, and while the happy family were seat ed around the table, Mrs. Brady read a poem of her own composition entitled "Twenty-two Years Ago To-Day."

They retired at a late hour, thanking God for the many bles sings he had bestowed upon them during the years of their married life. XXX Teachers Institute. The very successful session of Cam eron County Teachers' Institute closes to morrow morning. Each session has been one of interest to all who were fortunate enough to be present. The instructors—Dr. S. D. Pess, Dr. S. C Schumucher, Prof. H. F. Stauffer, Mr. W. H. Schoff, Dr. Henry R. Rose, Dr. Flickinger and Prof. C. E. Plasterer— stand with the most able ever enjoyed by our Institutes. Miss Collins chose carefully when she engaged such talent. The evening entertainments were very pleasing and attracted very large audiences. The Monday evening entertainment at the Opera House was the Boston Concert Company. The reader, Miss Pooler, was without doubt the favorite with the immense audience. The first number entitled, "Miss. Civilization," by Richard Harding Davis, was en thusiasticallyapplauded, as was also the other selections given. Miss Carmen Maclntyre, the violinist and sopranist, showed remarkable skill and talent in her recitals. Each number rendered was thoroughly enjoyed and highly appreciated. Mr. Leon C. Batchelder, Flute and Piccolo player, surprised the large audienee by his wonderful skill on these instruments. After each num ber he was recalled and responded to the hearty encores most graciously. He's a genuine treat. Miss Elsie Phe lan, piano accompanist, filled in her part of the program, in a most pleasing manner. Her number, "Piano Solo and Songs" was heartily applaQded and she acknowleged the encore in a gracious manner. Her easy matter of fact style captured her listeners. . Dr. S. D. Fess Tuesday evening, on "Humanity of Lincoln" was a treat. We have listened to some of the ablest platform orators but never was we so completely captured as we were Tues day evening when Dr. Fess described Lincoln. Grand beyond description. Wednesday evening, Dr. Henry R. Rose, gave illustrated lecture "Parsi fal." It was fine and elevating. This evening "The Royal Gypsy Con cert Company" will close the evening session. The Company will no doubt have a crowded house. TERMS: #2.00—51.50 1N ADVANCE. THE WEATHER. FRIDAY. Fair. SATURDAY, Shower#. SUNDAY, Showers, ASSETS First National Bank, EMPORIUM. PA.

"The election in Snyder County this fall will be an unusually quiet one, owing to the fact that we have no local ticket and hence will have no excite ment. It is highly important that every voter in Snyder County who be lieves in the success of Republican principles should attend the election, Tuesday, November stb. "Farmers, did you ever have better times? Laborers and mechanics did you ever receive higher wages than at present? If this is true, why change? You should remember your past ex periences in the matter of a change in administrations. At this time, when the tariff question is being agitated, it is bad policy for Pennsylvania to halt or hesitate on the issues. Let us pol! the full Republican vote in Snyder." At Emporium Opera House. Harrison Grey Fiske's "Leah Klesch na" company, that comes to the Em porium Opera House on Saturday evening, has been playing a number of towns hereabout and it is said every where to be the best attraction seen in years, if ever before. There is no mis representation about the performance, which is tremendously dramatic and splendidly acted. HarrisonGreyFiske, under whose management the play was produced when Mrs. Fiske acted it for six months in New York and for three seasons in other cities, is also the manager for this company. The qual ity of the performance of "Leah Kieschna" shows what a difference it makes when one of thebigmetropolitau , managers sends a play out under his | own name, he cannot afford to have his j reputation suffer by an inferior attrac tion. The company is just as good as , those seen in New York; and all the j scenery, costumes and properties are CErried. Mr. Fisko is the first mana* | ger to send companies to the one uight stands and if other managers wouU. 1 follow his example tliey would get just, as crowded houses as in the big cities. No one who wants to see a realy lirst class performance of a thrilling modern play should miss "Leah Kieschna." The sale of seats will open on Oct. 24 NO. 36.
