Hon. J. K. P. Hall is a tower of
strength in Elk county, where he will
get an almost unanimous vote. This is
evidence that he is a good man. He has
done much for the laboring classes, al-
ways making use of his wealth fo give
them employment. Itis the laboring
element especially, in Elk county, that is
wildly in favor of Hall for Congress, be-
cause he has always befriended them.

MI
BeLiLeroNtE, Pa, Oct, 12, 1886.
To the Voters of Centre co.:
In answer to
the scurrilous article which appeared in
last week's issue of the Keystone Gazette,
a2 Republican organ of this county,
charging me with corruption and the use
of dishonest methods in securing my
nomination to the office of Prothonotary,
I desire to retnrn my absolute and un.
qualified denial:
I spent no money in my canvass for
the nomination, except what was neces-
sary and lawful for printing and travel
ing expenses. The assertion that 1 ad-
mitted to a gentleman at Centre Hall,
that I had expended $1,200 to secure my
nomination, and urged that as a reason
why I should be elected, I pronounce
absolutely false in fact, and challenge
proof to the contrary.
I also brand as a lie the charge that
votes were bought on the streets of Bel-
lefonte, or elsewhere, by me or by any
one with my knowledge or consent, and
I challenge any and all persons to prove
it.
I deny the truth of the charge that
any hotel was charted by me or by any
one acting under my authority, or with
my knowledge or consent, or tha! any
beer or whiskey, or other liquor, was
bought myself or by any one acting un-
der my authority, knowledge or consent,
to be used for the purpose of influencing
voters, and defy proof of it,
I denounce the implied charge of buy-
ing up election boards, as utterley false
in fact and amalicious libel,
Were any of the preferred charges
true, I would not only be a violator of
the law, and subject to prosecution and
punishment, but might be prevented
from qualifying for the office, or after
having qualified, be ousted by process
of law.
In my effort to secure my nomination
I did nothing unlawful, and nothing
from which 1 have cause for fear, nor of
which I am ashamed.
I am a candidate for the office of Pro-
thonotary, because 1 was fairly and hon-
estly nominated, and because I feel able
to discharge its duties in a satisfactory
manner, I therefore ask you,
Centre co., for your support, and should
I beelected, I shall be grateful and will
discharge the duties of the office with
fidelity,

ocratic nominee for Assembly has with-

A
OUR CONGRESSIONAL NOMINEE:
The Clinton Democrat thus strongly
endorses Hall's nomination: The Con-
gressional question having been decid
ed, so far as a nomination can dispose of
it, the Democrats should now goto work
to elect Mr. Hall. The Republicans will
leave no stone unturned to defeat him,
and they will do their best to introduce
dissension into the ranks of the Democ-
racy. Dut the path of duty is clear and
straight. It turns neither to the
nor to the left, but at the end of it is vic-
tory. Democrats, roll up
and put forth your best efforts,

be plenty

The boldest lie of all lies this dry
weather, is the lie that 1. A, Shaffer
spent $1200 to make his nomination
Mr. Shaffer will give $50 to any one who
can prove that he spent 12 cents to make
votes corruptly. The liars know its a lle,
when they utler it.
. -—-——— -
A Harrisburg correspondent to the
New York Sun gives the following expo-
sition of a rather small piece of business:
“General Beaver is the head of a firm
that owns and operates an iron ore mine
at Millerstown, Perry co. The men em-
ployed at the mines are getting less
than sixty cents a day, and are compel
led to stand a shave of ten per cent, on
their wages. The pay is on the 15th of
every month, but the wages are so mea-
gre that the men cannot get along from
one pay day to another, On each Satur
day, therefore the men are compelled to
ask for an advance, and the manager,
who is one of the firm, charges the dis
count on the money they have earned,
Labor organizations throughout the State
are using these facts against Beaver with
-
wonderful effect.”
. ———
Democrats don’t scratch on the legiss
lative ticket—give Woodward and Rhone
a full vote. Don't scratch and don’t
trade,
LL W. Shaffer speaks German and Eng-
lish and therefore is just the man to suit
the farmers of Penn, Brush and Nittany
vallies in the Prothonotary’s office, be-
sides his other eminent qualifications
and pure character. All the stories put
out by a few disappointed fellows
against Mr, Shafler are the baldest lies
and not even the shadow of truth to go
on. All willful lies and very babyish.

court-house knocked the talk out of the

THE CONDEMNED ANARCHISTS
Still Talking to the Court About Theh
Conviction,
Cmicaco, Oct, 9 —Bamnel Fielden, ad
dressing the court, said revolution was a
crime if the revolutionists happened to be
poor. He declared that he had been arrested
and indicted for murder, but had been tried
for anarchy. The foulest criminal, be said,
would never have been convicted on such
testimony as had been brought bere if he had
not been a dangerous man in the opinion of

fendants, he claimed, convicted, not

advoeating principles of
and Anarchy, as he understood
them and honestly believed them, he freely
gave himself up. The price was very small
for a result so great He trusted the time

Fielden's speech was much more temperate
than any of the others that preceded it, and
It was

this speech before the jury instend or letting
his lawyers talk for him it might have influ

Crushed Under a Roof.
Crircano, Oct. 11. —Last evening the iron
roof of the North Chicago Rolling mull, at
South Chicago, about twelve miles from this
city, caved in from some cause unknown
For several years it has been the practice to
clean off all the refuse iron on Sunday which
socumulates on the roof from the blast pipe
during the week. The five men who wee on
the roof to-day when it caved in were unin.
jured. About fifteen men were working in
the mill at the time of the accident, and
Edward Dibbins, an Englishman, aged 25 and
married, was instantly killed All the rest
were more or less injured, some of them
probably fatally. Fortunately the accident
occurred on Bunday, or 100 men would have
boen killed.
Prohibitionists and Henry George.
New Yomx, Oct 11.—The Prohibitionist
candidate for mayor, Mr. William T, Ward-
well, was conspicuous on the platform in
Chickering hall last night it & largely at-
tended meeting called by the American Tem-
perance union. All the speakers urged their
hearers to vote for Wardwell ‘‘Brothe™
Gibbs said, however, that if any voter could
not cast his vote for Wardwell, Henry George
was the next best man, The applause at the
mention of the labor candidate's name was
fully as marked as that accorded to the Pro-
hibition leader.
