The statement published that Senator tuav is in favor of the nomination of Thomas I). Reed, of Maine, as the Re publican candidate fur the presidency in l'.'tj will enable a majority of the Ite publicans of Pennsylvania to know who they are for. The Camemns for a long time informed them who they were for but now that duty is pei forme' by Ifuay. Ir is a duty you owe the common wealth as a citizen and a true man 'o go the polls on the 5th of November and assert yourself for honest government. I.et no excuse keep you away from the polls, and let no petty party boss per suade you that tjuay and misrule can give to the people of Pennsylvania a respectable and honest administration of its affairs. According to a letter received at the navy department from the commander of the United states steamship Yantic, the steamship San FraDcisco left Mont video on Septtmlier lt with more than 1,:2U0 Spaniards enlisted for service in the Spanish atmy in Cuba. About H0 were deserters from the Span ish service who re enlisteded to se cure pardon, while the others were from Uruguay. Nearly all the volunteers were bovs. The high-tariff protectionist organs in Philadelphia will certainly not claim that there is a grand army of 40,000 vo ters iu that' city who are too poor to pay 50 cents once every two years for tne privilege of voting. And yet it is bold ly asserted, and has not been denied, that the Republicans have purchased 40, 01H) tax receipts. The only conclusion that can tie arrived at is that it takes 40,000 fraudulent voters to make up Philadelphia's Republican majority. That ought to make hoinst men think a little before the ccmu g flection day. The postotlice clepaiiinent ai Washing ton made public a statement last week, showing receipts of the thirty largest jm .6 1 cilices cf the United Slates for the third quarter tudtd October 1, lb!5, and the increase over a corresponiug period of 1S04. The statement shows this to have ln one of the most prosperous three months in the history of the jiostal service. The total jeceipts for the quarter weie, f 7,400, 44V an increase of $'r.G,7l0 over the same quarter of 1S'j4, and an increase of nearly f i00,000 over the same quarter of 1SU3. If the last Republican state legislature had not been ridden by corporation bos ses the miners of Pennsylvania would Lave secured the laws which they de manded should be enacted. The com pany store curse would have then been blotted out of existence and the wage earner, especially in the bituminous re gion, would be better satisfied with his lot. The votes of the workiugmen hav ing elected that legislature l-eause of the promises that had teen made by the Re publican party. This is a good year in which to rebuke the Republican party for having betrayed the vorkingmen. The supreme court of Pennsylvania, sitting in Pittsburg, handed down by Mr. Justice Dean, last Thursday, its de cision on the appeal from the opinion of Judge Simonton, cf Dauphin county declaring the restrictive clause of the act creating the superior court unconstitu tional. The supreme court decides that Judge Simonton is wrong; that the law- is constitutional, in line with the in tent of the legislature and those who framed the constitution. Therefore, tuft voter is permitted to vote for ouh six candidates for judges of the superior court, although seven are to be elected We may add that this style of votiug has leen in practice for many years, as everybody knows, in the case of in-Fj-ectore of election, county commission ers and iury commissioners. The Harrisburg correspondent of the Philadelphia Sunday World, a well- known Republican organ, boldly asserts that Mr. Quay's declaration for reform in political and legislative methods is a game of bluff. lie says: "There is not a man in politics in Pennsylvania that doesn't know that Ross t2uy never hag made a campaign, national or state, ex cept on a each basis. There never was a leader who "depended, as Quay does, upon reaching the desired end through the corrupting influence, of cash." lie also says that, "each and every Repub lican slate employe can Le made a wit ness to the fact that Quay has levied an assessment," and he further sajg, "from the highest to the lowest they me now paying their annual assessmeut of 3 per centum to the State committee, the only exceptions being the laborers in Capitol Park, who receive one dollar and a half a day." So much for Mr. Quay's little 'J)r. Jekyll and Air. Hyde" act. The following is the platform in full a iopted t le Democratic State conven iU Wiiiiar.isport. Every voter should read it and then cast his vote for the Democrat nominees. First. Tin- Iit-iiKK-rath- party. In State Con vention assembled, lit-r.-iiy renews its aile pianoe to ami Ueehires in faith in the prin ciples tf I iiii-i-rai-y as formulated by Jeffer son aii'I illustnm-il by Madison. Monroe, Jackson and "ev eland. It congratulate the American people upon the first fruits of tbe Democrat!- administration, which inherited from its Kepiiiilk-au predecessor a bankrupt Treasury ami unwise tinauclal legislation, impaired public credit and widespread disas ter, anil wliieli. under the winaeioiis. courag eous ami patriotic leadership of its preat President. ! rover Cleveland, led tbe people out of the slou-ih of despondency to the hi'h ground f substantia! mid Increasing prosperity. We challenge the fairness or our counir men and ask that tbe Democrat ir party now receive the benefit of that renewed pros perity whose welcome note is heard on every side. Second. The enactment of the Sherman silver-purchasing act and the McKinlcy tariff law found, as accurately predicted by .Mr. Cleveland, their results iu bankrupt railroads, closed factories, ruined farms, abandoned ti-lds. impaired national credit and general disaster. The repeal of such iuhjuitoiis legislation and the substitution of more moderate tariff laws have found their imnmliate results In the resumption of business and the restoration of the na tional cnilit. Third. As vindicating the principles of tariff reform, to which Hie Democracy is un alterably pledged, we challenge especial at tention "to the fact that such prosperity and the couscfjiiciit material Increase of wages has been in -st proiiouncci in me ministries, whose existence our opponents claimed were dependent upon hiuli tariff duties. The gloomy pn di-'ion that the iron and steel in dustries of Pennsylvania would be destroyed by a reduced tariff h is been contradicted by their present unexampled prosperity. Fourth. We invite I he attention of the wage earners to the fact that the present voluntary im r-ae of wages of those em ployed in the niainif:o-:uiInir industries, amounting to not less ;h:,'.i SJ.-.0.000.000. was absolutely unknown under the McKlnley t.iritT act." To prevent the reactionary legis lation threatened by the Ueputiliean party of lvnnvlvaiii:i iu tin ir recent State Con vention, 'which would again depress busi ness bv destroying faith in the stability of present conditions, we invite our fellow countrvnicn ! Iirin-'hotif the land, irrespec tive of party, to so act together as to in sure, by t lie'eleclion of a Democratic Presi dent in 11HJ, the maintenance of the present prosperity. Fifth. We especially reaffirm so much of the platform of the last Deiiim ratic National Convention ss calls for the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country; but the dollar unit of coinage of both liietals must be of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value, or be adjusted by inter national agreement, or by such safeguards of legislation as shall insure the maintenance of the parirv of the two metais and the equal power of every dollar at all times In the payment of debts. We believe that such paritv coiild not be maintained by the free coinage of silver at the rati" of IU to 1. and we are. therefore, opposed to any legis lation looking to that end. Sixth. We arraign and condemn the pres ent administration, both in the executive and legislative branches of the government, for its refusal to reapportion the State, in accordance with tiie mandates of the Con stitution: for its profligate waste of public nioncv: for its crcfli f private awards and useless public otticcs; for its degradation of the public service in factional contests; for its unnecessary increase of official sala ries to the detriment of many deserving charities of the State: for its legislation fa vorable to the interests of corporations and monopolies. Seventh. We challenge comparison be tween this State administration, which has been so faithless to its pledges, ami the wise, economical ami honest administration of Robert K. Pattisoii. which in the staintvss puritv of its record silenced partisan malig nity ami justly merited ami received tne aiinost liiiiver-ial approbation of the people of this Common wcuii ti. Kigiith. We especially invite the sober consideration of the people of this State to ili.. remarkable factional struggle 111 the Re publican party, a struggle which involved no principle or imonc po;ic but simply the supremacy of intending factional leaders. Ti.t- worst rst arraignment at our hands ot Kc publican misrule tabs sliort oi wnar repre sentative Republican newspapers ami lead ers testified of each oilier. The admitted prostitution of tiie public service, the invo cation of corporate influences, the misuse of Judicial appointments and constituent prostitution of the Judiciary, the corrupt use of mom-v in tiie purchase of delegates, the attempted terrorism at Harrisburg by men of the most abandoned type, tix tiie high water mark of political debauchery. It bur needed in complete its infamy the I ratispar-lil hypocrisy which led a couven rion. i li'is constituted, to adopt "with laugh tit" rc-olut i.ei- condemning the very meth ods hy which (I s delegates li.i.l Peen selected Such condemnation of "The growing use of money in pi.liiics: the corporate control of tbe i.egisl'i t ure. mmiicipMi Councils, politi cal prima: .-s ami elections; the enslave ment of pi.bli.- officers iitid employes: favor itism iu griming cuntraois ami the granting of exclus.v- tram iiises in putmc ucecssi ties." while w.lua'ilc as evidencing the tcjnh of the aci-its-f-es ot the 1 icmocratic party iti the last quarter of a century, yet coming from the very source which is responsible for these evils, constitutes the crowning In sult to the intelligence of a forbearing and long sn II cling people Thk most amusing statement in rela tion to the loose management of the state treasury that has been made in this campaign appeared iu Quay's esie cial champion, the Philadelphia In qitirer, the other day. This paper as serts that anything Treasurer Jackson might say will be believed everywhere, and then goes on to defend the present sjstem of farming out the public funds to favorite baDks that unless this prac tice was followed some of the banks would lie wrecked and the people who deposited in them would be great losers. If this were a fact the people should have no confidence in our present national banking system. The people place their money in banks for accommodation, but more es pecially for safety, and no national bank is expected or allowed to depend on a possible state deposit through the favor itism of the state funds. The Inquinr further says, "that some of the banks have come to consider the state money as their working capital." If that is so, for w hat do we have national bank ex aminers? If the handsome dividends of a few favorite banks in Pennsylvania depend on the pleasure of a Republican state treasurer and the public fund?, those bank are not honest or square to their hundreds of depositors, and the sooner they close their doors the better it will be for the people who have any money to deposit; and, likewise, the sooner we have an honest man like Ben jamin F. Meyers in the state treasury the better it will be for the taxpayers. The editor of the Bellefonte Watch man, scores a good point in the follow ing: Talk about Democratic treatment of old soldiers. Why there are more people on the pension rolls to-day than ever before in the history of the coun try; the vast majority of old soldiers in Center county who have held public of fice have done so through the medium of the Democratic party. The very head of the Republican party in this State to day, Governor Hastings, is the man, who, not six months ago vetoed the bill to give old soldiers the prefer ence in the disposition of oflices at Har risburg and yet they cry about Demo cratic unfriendliness for the old soldiers. Why the Democratic party is the only friend they have. We cannot say that the legislative investigation committee, appointed at the last session of the legislature, will not get to work before election day, but every man with an atom of common sense knows that the Republicans will take good care that no itart'ing disclo sures are .forthcoming until after the battle has been fought and non on .No vember 5. W ahiiigtH Lifter. Washington, D. C, Oct. ISth, 1S'.5. Carrv the good news toDixi-. Mrs Cleveland and the ladies of the cabinet will nrobablv ace -mpany President Cleveland and his entire cabinet whet: they leave Washington for the AtUutic xisilin. next Monday. Mis Cleve land did not intend to go, but when she learned how di.-Jppo:ntel the thous.ind. vvho ha. I never Seen her but hoped to du t the exposition r"u,e 'f,u'' he if she did not she, with her usual sjoiid nature and obliging disposition, ua liten almost persuaded to change her mind and go. President Cleveland and all the mem bers of his cabinet met for the first time ia several months at the regular cabinet meeting this week. The meeting was more iu the nature of a friendly social Leathering than one of business, although there was some exchar-ge of opinions and informal discussion of important matters bearing upon the coming ses sion of congress. Sympathy for the Cuban revolutions ists is a perfectly natural feeling iu the hearts of Americans, but tire zeal of an enterprising newspaper publisher of Washir.titou, in pursuit of popular tree advertising for his properly, has caused a number of more or htss oromiueut business men to allow their sympathy to ruu away with their good judgment and to join in a publie call for a mass meet ing to lie held iu Washington for the purpose of publicly expressing syjiipathy for the revolutionists. The meeting will lie held, and the resolutions of sympa thy adopted: but under existing circum stances it is an ill-advised affair, imply ing an entirely unnece-sary and un called for lack of couiideuce iu the ad ministration to deal properly with the Cuban affair. The aforesaid enterpns ing publisher has been seconded in this scheme by Republicans, who hoie there by to embarra.-s tne administration, President Cleveland is probabiy as fully conversant with the present status of af fairs in Cuba as any man in the united States and holdiug meetings iu Wash ington or elsewhere, will neither delay nor expedite matters. He will do his duty regardless of his own or the sym pathy of others. Assistant attorney general for the post otlice department Thomas he's a clever fellow, a good lawyer and a good Dem ocrat, notwithstanding that long title in his anuual report to Postmaster Gem eral Wilson leaves no doubt of his opin ion of those business concerns which adopt lottery methods to attract custom' ers. After giving the number of lotter ies which have been shut out of the mails by the anti lottery law, which he declares has sounded the death knell of lotteries in this country. Mr. Thomas in his report says: "Cut many busi ness men thiDk they must, in order to succeed, resort to schemes that appeal to the gambling spirit of the people, and they accordingly sugar-coat their legiti mate enterprises with lottery advertise ments. These fascinating and appar ently innocent schemes reach the boys and girls of the land and tend to make them gamblers." The rebuke is sharp, but no thoughtful newspaper reader ctn deny that it is deserved, nor that it is needed by some business concerns. Mr. Harrison's managers are losing their shrewdness, if they approve of r are responsible for a political fairy story that was circulated in Washington this week. Talk aliout a thing making a horse laugh, if such a thing were possi ble this story would do it. The preface to the story sets out that it was Tom Piatt and his wicked anti Harrison asso ciates, and not the immaculate Ifcuja min, who stabbed Mortou iu the back at the Minneapolis couventaon of anil gave the vice presidential nnniiaii lion to Whitelaw Keid. And as if that were not a sufficient perverson of facts for a single story, it proceeds to tell that Mr. Hairison doesn't want next year's nomination to go to lieed, McKinley or Allison, but to his bosom fiiend and one-time running mate, Governor Mors ton. Governor Morton has not proved himself to be as good a politician as he is a businessman, but nobody in Wash ington believes that he can be fooled by any such story as this. He knows that Mr. Harrsion was in telegraphic com munication with the men who controlled the Minneapolis convention, and that one word from him to John C. New would have preveuted the Whitelaw Keid deal lieing carried out. He a!so knows that the friendship now so publicly prof ferred is but the Judas like precursor of another stab iu the back, if the oppor tunity to administer it occurs. A great many cock and bull stories are - being told concerning bargains made by the Democratic senators with the Republican senators for a reor ganization of the senate and a division of the committee chair manships etc. No such bargain has been made. Just before the last session of congress closed there was an informal talk about some arraugement. but it was not participated in by more than half a dozen senators and they had no authority from their colleagues to make any bargain. I do not say that some such arrangement may not be made,but I do say that it cannot lie made by two or three senators. m. Torkej's Promised Kefornts. Constantinople, October 22. Oflicial communication embodying the Arme nian reforms has been made public through the Turkish press. It is care fully worded, in order to show that the reforms are in perfect harmony with the existing laws so as to avoid exciting the Turks. In addition to the reforms al ready known to have been approved by the sultan the communication says that the inhabitants will lie protected by troops when they visit the mountain pastures, and that they will thus be able to obey the law which provides that they are not to carry arms. The nomadic trities will be settled upon lauds which will be granted to them by the govern taent. liabj Killed by Drinking Whisky.
