I5v what system of justice has the gov
ernment the right to tax one class of
people for the benefit of another? To
tax the farmer that the manufacturer
may thrive? To tax the laborer that the
capitalist may go to making tin plates
with large profits? Taxation under the
McKinley bill is simply robbing one class
of ieople for the benefit of another, and
thould le. .struck down.
The third party is an object of unus
ual interest jur-t now. If it materializes
it will threaten one party in one state
nnd the other in another, with the loss
of electoral votes necessary to a choice.
Kach parfy would like to see it active m
the enemy's territory, but depreciates its
activity elsewhere. The third party
nun thus become political factors of
much larger importance than the size of
their party would make them under
ordinary circumstances.

W'r. denounce the McKinley tariff lav
enacted by the Fifty-first Congress as the
culminating atrocity of class legislation;
i eu.li rse the efforts made by the iH-m-ocrats
of the present Congrs to modify
its niiwt oppressive features in the direc
tion of free raw materials and cheaicr
manufactured goods that enter into home
consumption, and we promise its rejioal
as one of the beneficent results that will
follow the action of the pet.plein intrust

S nee the McKinley tariff went into
operation there have been ten reductions
of wacs of lab .ring men to one increase.
We deny that there has lieen any in

that taritf went into operation and we
point to the dullness and distress, the
wage reductions and strikes in the iron
trade ;is the lu st possible evidence that
no such prosjierity has resulted from the
McKinley act.
We call the attention of thoughtful
Americans to the fact that of restrictive
taxation against importations of foreign
products in exchange for our agricultur

country have liecome burdened with a
real estate mortgage debt of over two
thousand live hundred million dollars,
exclusive of all other forms of indebted

Republican protection as a fraud; a rol

We declare it to be a fundamental prin

Ti:e Democratic county committee
met on Monday for the purpose of nomi
nating a candidate for Assembly to till
the vacancy caused by the resignation of
Hon. Kd. T. McXeelis. Slater W. Al
len, and John K. Strayer, both of John
stown, were placed in nomination, and
on the first ballot Mr. Allen was nomi
nated, the vote standing '25 for Allen to
PJ for Strayer. A resolution endorsing
the nominations made by the national
convention was then read and adopted
when the committee adjourned.
The Johnstown Dtmmrnt of Tuesday
gives the following history of Mr. Allen:
Slater W. Allen, who was nominated
for the Assembly yesterday, was born in
Montgomery county, Pa., in 1831, and
in ls.V.t came to this county with his
father, John F. Allen, who is well
known among the older and middle
aged residents of southern Cambria
county as a successful school teacher and
who now resides with his son in the
Fifth ward. Slater received his education
by attending the public schools in this
vicinity and studying under his father's
instruction.
Some years prior to 1SS0 the family
removed to Mitllintown, Juniata county,
where Mr. Allen studied law, under- the
lion. E. D. 1'arker, and was admitted
to the bar of that county. In the year
mentioned the family returned to Cam
bria county and Mr. Allen was for three
years cashier for Wood, Morrell fc Com
pany, in their grocery department.
Since that time he has been in business
for himself in the Fifth ward, where he
resides.
Mr. Allen is married to a daughter of
Mr. Stephen Stutznian, of Upier Yoder
township. He has always been a stead-,
fast Democrat, as has been his father.
The Democrats of Cambria county will
find in him an earnest candidate, and
one who. if elected, will represent the
county with credit in the General Assem
bly. Thk Pittsburg Ltidir with candid
alarm, says the Philadelphia JUcortl,
calls upon the heavy protected iron man
ufacturers, in Pittsburg "for the sake of
the Republican national ticket" to for
bear insisting upon "a pauper reduction
of wages." "There can be no doubt of
it," the Iswlrr goes on to say, "as to
the workingman's honest belief that the
Republican party "keeps up his wages,
and that, if his wages go down while a
national campaign is in progress, the
Republican party is to blame for break
ing its pledges."
The hailtr seems to be more solicitous
aboufthe eftects of a reduction on the
campaign than its effects upon the wel
fare of workers. Put the true lesson of
the present condition of affairs in Pitts
burg will not have lieen learned until
the workingmen shall have heen con
vinced that there is no surety to high
wages as a result of high tariffs. In
selling their Ialxr the workingmen have
a yearly battle of rates with their em
cmployers, and they get the market rates
without reference to high tariffs. The
pretense oi "protection to latior is a
fraud, and has always l-een a fraud
The tariff gives protection to the manu
facturer without any guarantee that he
shall divide his bounty with his em
ployees. They are obliged to make the
best terms they can and to resort to
such exiiedients for self protection as the
unending contest between those who
buy lalor and those who have it to sell
have in the course of time suggested.
The lo!d attempt to pull the wool over
the eyes of the workingman until after
election should not succeed.
The Allentown rolling mills on Mon
day reduced puddlers' wages from .3.80
to ?3.::o per ton, and the pay of other
employes, except lalKjrers, proj.ortion
ately. Three hundred men are affected
and yet the people stand the McKinley
tariff for the purjiose of protecting the
workingmen'h wages. The taritf is. u
fraud.

(ii-ovcr Cleveland is now ."" years nf
aire, having Ikh-ii Ixirn in Caldwell, N. J.,
March 18, 1:.7. He was the tilth of
the nine chilikcii of the Rev. Richard
F. Cleveland, a cleigyman of the Pres
byterian church and a graduate of Yale
College. Mr. Cleveland's mother was
Annie Neal, the daughter of an Irish
merchant in Raltimore. His great
urandfatiier was Dr. Aaront'levelaml, :l
rraduate of Harvard and an Kpiscopal
minister in Philadelphia, where he was
a close friend of Renjamin Franklin, in
whose house he died in 17"7.
His education was obtained in the
common sc hools and academy at Fay
ettville, N. Y., serving part of the time
as clerk in a country store at $-"0 per
year. After the death of his father at
Holland Patent he went to New York
City, ami for two years was an under
teacher in a blind asylum. At the end
of that time he conc luded to quit teach
ing, and, leaving New York, went to
Puffalo, where he secured a iosition as
oilice Uiy and a chance to study law in
the law office of Rogers, ISrown it Rogers.
He was paid aIout ?.5.o0 a week for his
services until he was admitted to the
bar in 18.")'.). After his admission to the
bar he continued with his preceptors for
four years, which, with the previous
four years served as a student, gave him
eighj rears of the liest kind of legal ex
perience. He was then apjiointetl assis
tant district attorney for the county of
Krie, which jHisition he tilled with ability
for a period of three years. He was
nominated by the Ik-mocratio county
convention in l.t'io for district attorney
and was defeated. He was chosen
sheriff of Erie county in 1R70.
In November 1S81, Mr. Cleveland w as
nominated and elected mayor of Puffalo
on a reform platform and carried on his
administration on reform lines, obtain
ing such prominence as to commend him
to the notice of Daniel Mann-ng and
other party leaders who had come into
powr under Tilden. In 1SS-2 he was
nominated for governor and was elected
by a majority of ir.2,S43over Charles J.
Folger, Republican nominee. During
his administration he had frequent con
tests with Tammany and vetoed a num
of its measures. In 1SS4 he was present
ed by the party organization of his state
as a candidate for president. The dele
gation to Chicago was instructed for him,
although he had the opposition of Tam
many Hall. The Tammany delegates
made a vigorous contest against the unit
rule, but an amendment to the rules
providing that the votes of the delegates
in case of a differenceshould le recorded
in accordance to their individual prefer
ences was voted down, 332 to 4'V2. He
was nominated on the second ballot, his
c hief comjietitor being Iiayard.
The presidential election occured on
the 4th of Novemlier, resulting in the
easting of '2l'- electoral votes for Cleve
land and Hendricks and 12 for Rlaine
and Iogan majority for Cleveland, 37.
The tiopular vote was 4,818,3:51 for
James O. Rlaine, 4.914,017, for Orovor

A. E. Stevenson who is the nominee
for Vice President on the Democratic
ticket, was liorn in Kentucky in 1S35,
but has lieen a resident of Bloomington,
111., since 1852, where he liegan practic
ing law in 1S58. The law firm of Stevenson
it Ewing is one of leading repute in the
state. Mr. Stevenson has held various po
litical offices, and in 1874 was elected to
Congress by a majority of 1,200 in a dis
trict which had 3,000 Republican ma
jority. He was appointed first assistant postmaster-general
under President Cleve
land, which office he tilled with ability.
During his term he was strongly in favor
of removing Republican postmasters and
appointing Democrats in their stead
wherever it could le done consistently
with good service. He was a delegate-
at-large to the convention which nomi
nated him, and up until the time his
name was presented he acted at chair
man of the Illinois delegation.
Tammany Will Work for the Ticket.
Richard Croker, the leader of Tam
many, pledges the vote of that organiza
tion to Cleveland. Speaking of the
ticket he says: "We will suport Cleve
land just as heartily as we would have
supported Hill. We are Democrats and
when we are for a man we are for him.
Why should anyone doubt our loyalty to
the "ticket?" "The nomination of Ste
venson pleases us," said Lieutenant
Governor Shoehan. 'We favor him be
cause he is a good Democrat. When he
was first assistant postmaster general he
was for turning out every Republican
and putting a Democrat in his place.
We like that kind of a man. The New
York delegation will go home to work
loyally for the ticket and so will I."
Killed In Court.
New York, June 27. Max Clerget,
aged 18, who had just plead guilty of
criminal assault upon Sarah Devin, was
shot and killed in the general sessions
court this morning by the girl's brother,
Edward Devin. The murderer was
promptly arrested. Sarah Devin was
Clerget's sister-in-law. The outrage was
committed June 18 at 543 East Fifteenth
street. Clerget was arrested the same
day. Judge Martine was trying another
case when Clerget was brought to the liar
to plead to the mcictment against him.
The prisoner pleaded guilty and was be
ing led away when Devin rushed forward
and shot him dead. The utmost excite
ment prevailed and the scene was dra
matic iu the extreme.

ABSOILTTELY PURE
Three Chances Now.
This year, in considering proh ibilities,
the Democratic party ha- three chanc e s
to win where it had one chan e lour
years ago.
In the first place its chances of carry
ing Ne w York are greater than they were
in 188S. If it succec-ds in this and in
carrying the states that were Democratic
in 1888, and if Indiana goes Democratic
as it is iuite sure to go, the Democratic
candidate will receive 22i electoral votes
or 3 more than a majority.
In the second place, if New York goes
Republican its lost 3 votes ma lie made
up from Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska,
Wisconsin and Iowa. These states cast
t'i7 electoral votes, and they went Demo
cratic or at least anti-Republican in lSW.
Tlipy have Congress 2. Democratic, 14
Republican and 7 Farmers' Alliance
representatives. Morever, from 4 to C
votes are expected from Michigan.
Clearly New York is not this year, as it
was in 1888, the only fighting ground
for 3ti electoral votes.
Iu third place, these five states and
Minnesota, with its '. electoral votes,
may le carried by the Farmers' Alliance,
tiiving New York to the Republicans
the ele-ctoial vote would then stand as
follows: Democrats, l'.'O, Republicans,
17'.'; Fanners' Alliance 75.
As the necessary majority of the Elec
toral Colle ge; is 223, such a division of
the vote would throw the election into
the present House of Representatives, j
and the Democratic candidate would lie ;
chosen by a largo majority of the states
voting as units.
Prospects lte-tlrr thau iu
There willlie 4 1 1 votes in the Elec
toral College this year, so that the suc-
?23. The "solid South" casts 15!, and
ilespite the talk about two or three of
these state-s iieiug doubtful, nobody
whose judgment is worth anything
doubts that the Force bill issue will carry
every one for the Democratic candidate.
New Jersey's ten may lie counted with
eiual confidence on the same siele. The
Detroit Tn'hum:, the leading Re-publican
i,r":in of Michigan, admits that the
Democrats wiil get at least four vote S !
from that state. This makes 173 that
may be calletl ''sure." Connecticut and
Indiana wouKi add six and lifteen re
gpcctivt'Iv, making 184, and New York's ,
thirtv-sii would carrv the total up to I
230, or seven more than a majority. ;
The Republicans are relatively U tter off ;
than before by reason of the admission t
of the new states and the chauge-s in j
oMer state-s caused by the reapportion- j
merit, but the combination of l87ti and :

A Tree of Contradictions.
Beixaire, O., Ji'ne 2S. F. G. Cun
ningham, near South Olive, Noble
county, has a cherry tree that is a curi
osity. It is about twenty years old, is a
foot through and has three forks. Two
of these forks bear early cherries, the
other fork bears very late ones. When
the early ones are rijie and gone the
late ones are not half grown. On the
forks of the tree limbs put out that grow
early cherries, and on the forks that
grow early ones limle put out that grow
late ones. Standing off and looking at
the foliage, a distinct difference is note!
in the shape and color of the leaves.
The story is a big one, but the proof to
the non-believer is to go and see it.
Thousands have come for miles to see
this strange tree and it has never been
grafted.

journals ix-ing 01 sui-n a very high class
make the exceptionally tine covers very
