Chairman Cambria County Democratic
,.-. Til f ft
K!-ibursr.'Pa., March ISth, 1
At Harriburg on Wednesday, Depu
ty .-Miperintetulent of Fuhlic Instruction
Stewart, rendered an opinion iu an iui
j.rtant matter that interests the teach
ers of the state. The McKeesport pub
lic school directors, at a recent meeting
a lopte.1 a motion to the effect that "all
teachers I e required to undergo an ex
amination, regardless of their normal
school diplomas, permanent or profess
ional certificates " The question was
referred to the department of public in
struction, as to v h fier the b ard had a
riht to adopt such a rule,
oi.inion Mr. Stewart says that
In the
"gradu
ates of state normal schools hold a nor
mal school certificate, or diploma, law
fully grant-d to them by the Slate board
of examiners, which certificate, or di
ploma, exempts the holder from further
examination in any of the branches
named thereon." The deputy superin
tendent declares that the action of the
Mi Keesport toaid, if carried into effect,
will be regarded as an unwarranted and
arbitrary exercise of official auttority.
The three Republican candidates for
the presidency, says the Philadelphia
:.r. I, who are most prominently urged
are McKinley, Allison and Reed. It is
a curious fact that their popularity seems
to be proportioned to the quality of their
unsoundness on the currency question..
McKinley, who leads the list, voted
for the original Bland bill providing for
free ind unlimited coinage. When the
bill came back from the senate with lim.
itations as the Bland Allison act, he also
voted for it as amended. After it had
U-en vetoed by President Hayes he vo
ted in favor of its passage over the veto.
Mr. Allison was only one Step behind
McKinley in his silver record. He did
not vote for free and unlimited coinage,
but his name is associated with the leg
islation of 1S7S. His record on the sil
ver question is bad aud his responsibili
ty is much greater than McKinley's be
cause of his superior knowledge and
abilities.
Mr. Reed voted against the original,
Bland bill, against the B'and-AUison bills
and in favor of sustaining the Have
veto. But with McKinley and Allison
he voted in lS'.M) for tlie Sherman Silver
Purchase act, which was a sop thrown
to the silver mine senators in order to
Fecure the passage of that McKinley tar
iff bill. This political deal was infa
mous. Mr. Reed has further compro
mised himself by his leanings toward
the establishment of bimetallism by the
levy of tariff wars to secure internation
al compliance.
No platform utterance at St. Ixuis
can wipe from the record of McKinley.
Allison and Reed the stain of their past
performances. If it be true that they
have rented of past follies and changed
their minds they should take the pub
lic into their confidence. Until they
hall have doue so it is fair to presume
that they are not sound on- the financial
question. Their popularity, however,
indicates that they are as sound as their
party, and that a straddling platform
may le expected suited to straddling
candidates.
The secret organization known as the
A P. A., says the Belli fonte irifcAiin,
will be a factor in the presidential con
test and will make itself felt in the coun
cils of the Republican party. Spring
ing into promiuence since the last pres
idential election, its proscr p ie policy
has not been objectionable to the Re
publican party, which has accepted it as
aHht;cal ally and been benefitted at the
polls by its sneaking oath bound meth
ods. The recent sweeping Republican
majorities were largely due to the vote
contributed by this secret organization,
it having the sudden effect in politics
that was produced by the Know Nothing
movement at an earlier period of our po
litical history.
It would be morally impossible
for it to be alii! with the Demo
cratic party, and the advantage it gives
to the opponents of lemocracy can be
but tennerary. The character of its
policy carries with it its own destruction.
The A. P. A.'s will soon attempt to dom
inate the Republican party. The St
Ioiiis convention will be full of them,
and they will make themselves felt in
shaping its action.
From a number of the states the dele
gates to that convention are members
of this clandestine association and
sworn to obey its mandates. It is en
tirely natural that they should be for
McKinley, for so narrow-minded and
prescriptive an organization necessarily
6j Dip ithizes with the narrow economic
policy that would restrict the commer
cial freedom of this country. McKin
ley will have the solid A. P. A. vote at
St. Ioui3 and that oath-bound fellow
ship is a power that will have to be ta
ken into account by the Republican na
tional convention. The advantage of
euch an alliance has its drawbacks which
the g. o. p. will discover before they are
through with it.
The Democratic county committee,
of Cambria county, will meet in this
place on next Monday, in accordance
with the call of the chairman. The
election of six delegates to the state con
vention will le the most important bus
iness l-fure the committee and as the
rulinsj powers of the Plate Democracy
will expect, as a matter of corns-?, the
committee t instruct the delegates to
support the candidacy of ex-tiovernor
I'attisoa for the presidency, we suppose
there will be the customary effort to fix
up a program leading to that result.
Notwithstanding the naming of a can
didate from Pennsylvania is regarded by
the Democracy of other states as a bur
lesque, the ex-gov r jor's name will be
offered to the committee for endorse
ment with as much s .lemnity, and for
the same purpose, as the name of Mat
thew S-anley Quay, was offered to the
Republicans.
The fact is apparent that the leaders
of the state Democracy, who have al
ready run the party "down at the heel
until it is now traveling on its uppers"
would feel much better with a delega
tion to the Chicago convention halt-ered,
and safely tied, until they, (the leaders),
are ready to cut them loose, than with
a delegation free from the start, to se
lect the best and most available candi
date. For this reasou the candidacy oi
the ex-governor is floated liefore the
Democracy of Pennsylvania and st it- ,
pride in having a candidate for the presi
dency will assist to gather in the gudgeons
It will be Pattison or no one before the
committee and in that event, the chances
are in favor of gathering them in for
Pattison.
A few days aeo the Democ-
eracy oi trawiora county ap
proved the ex-governor's presidential
candidacy and elected delegates who are
expected to support him, but declared
"against any presidential candidate who
is n"t committed to the 1G to 1 free
coinage principle."
We believe a majority of the Iemoc
racy, of Cambria county, are in favor of
sound and honest money, and in this
respect at variance with the Democracy,
of Crawford county, but we imagine if I
the committee on Monday instructs the
delegates to support the ex-governor's
candidacy, there will be no trouble
among his supporters about the plat
form. The ex-governor is not iutented
to run beyond the wind-up of the Chi
cago convention and for that purpose
any or all platforms will be accepted by
his followers.
There is nothing in Secretary Carlisle's
letter to his Kentuc' y friends, says the
Pittsburg W. that takes him out of the
list of presidential probali'ilies on the
Democratic side. He simply declines
under "existing conditions" to have the
formal and authorized announcement
made that he is a candidate, and the
reason assigned is that he is "much
more concerned about its (the party's)
declaration of principles than in its se
lection of candidates, because in my
(his) opinion its failure or success at the
election, as well as its capacity for use
ful service in the country in the future.
dejends upon the position it takes or
omits to take upon the questions now
engaging the attention of the people.
and especially the questions affecting
the monetary system of the country,
and the character and the amount or the
taxation to be imposed upon its citi
zens."
Put in more specific terms, this refers
to the silver question, as theie is no ma
terial difference of opinion among Dem
ocrats on the subject of tariff taxation
On silver there is, and there promises to
be a lively contest in the national con
vention "upon the position it takes or
omits to take." In the present junc
ture, if the Iemocratic party is to have
a future their must be neither laiises of
commission nor avoidance in this re
spect There must be a plain and une
qui vocal declaration, susceptible of no
double meaning.
This assured, there will be no didicu!-
ty about a candidate, but good faith and
honesty with the people in the platform
is the first requisite.
Secretary Carlisle 8 letter does not
change the sit jalion nor in the least af
fect the question of his candidacy, save
that he will not be a candidate or accept
a nomination on a free coinage or eva
sive platform. That is plainly implied,
He remains in the hands of his friends
subject to this reservation, but asks
them from the Democracy of Kentucky
at their coming state convention 'an ex
piession to his public course. This
means on the monetary question, as
there is no difference on other issues.
He is a candidate for the endorsement
of his financial policies bv the iVnioc-
racy of hi9 own state. We have little
doubt tnat it win t accorueu mm or
that the Kentucky convention will sub
mit Mr. Carlisle's name to the Democ
racy of the I'nion for the presidential
nomination.
The war department at Washington
wants immediate information regarding
the actual war strength of the national
guard of Pennsylvania, and Lieut, l'ax
son of the United States army, has been
detailed to investigate the condition of
arms and equipment., with reference to
actual field duty, and to make report as
soon as possible how quicklv the guard
could be mobilized Dd gotten to 1-ake
trie for sixty days service.
A few esteemed contemporaries that
are cracking jokes about the "moribund
Democratic seem to have forgotten
l tail s propnecy tnat "the Kepublican
party will not have a walkover this
year, and apparently disregard his ad
monition that they must not be over
confident. The Kepublican party will
find that their supposed moribund oppo
nent is the liveliest corpse it has ever at
tempted to tackle.
The organs of protection are making
much of the large number of failures for
the first quarter of the present year.
But the worst failure of all has been the
failure oi congress to do anything for the
currency. That alone would sufficient
ly explain all the other failures, leaving
wholly out of account the incalculable
damage to business resulting -from the

There is rather a nasty row among the
Republican members of the house com
mittee on public buildings and grotiuds
over the old question of a site for a new

stated by Representative White, of 111

a bill through the eommifee which pro
vides for the purchase of a site at a price
twice as high as a site mst as good
could be bought for. On the other hand
Chairman Mitiken intimates that Mr.
White if over friendly to those who are
interested in the much talked atout Mi-
hone site, which has figured somewhat
disreputably in this matter for son-e
years. That. much is publicly said.
What is privately said is of such a oa-
tare that it would not be safe to print
uuless you had indisputable legal proof
to back it up with.
According t) the opinion of Mr. Hen
ry r.. lueen, a promiuent Keuluckian
now in Washington, Secretary Carlisle
will le the Democratic candidate for
president. Mr. lueen says of Mr. Car
lisle ad a candicate: "He would tarry
Kentucky by at least 40,000 majority,
and he would not fail of success iu a
single southern state. To the Kasteru
and middle states Democrats he would
be particularly acceptable. As far as
Kentucky is concerned, there is an end
of party dissensions, aud henceforth the
Blue Grass Democrats will be found
working in harmony, and the electoral
vote oi the state will he cast for the
Democratic nominee, whoever he may
be."
There will be no political reorganiza
tion of the employes of the senate. This
was definitely seit'ed at a conference of
representatives- of the Republican and
Democratic senators, and was brought
about because ihe Republicans did not
want to agree to the demands made by
the populists for voting with them to
elect the secretary and sergeant-at-arms
nominated by them early in the session,
nor the Democrats to makea deal with
populists to vote against them. I'uder
the new arrangement the Democratic
I secretary and sergeant at aims
will be

"The Cuban resolutiansof the United

the tieculiur excitement which followed
the passage of the previous res. tint ions.
This can be accounted for in two
I wavs :
"Firstly, the result of the voting was
fully anticipated, and si-ondly, there is
a strong impression that President
Cleveland will -take no immediate ac

Madrid says :
"The topers here of every shade of
Opinion rival each other in censuring
the attitude of the United States con

not tolerate interference, not even
friendly mediation. The government

the popular excitement.
"A sensation has la-en cansed by The

"After the cabinet council, Senor
