“OLD SERIES, XL. NEW SERIES XXII. THE CENTRE REPORTER, FRED KURTZ, -~ EDITOR FOR PRESIDENT, GROVER CLEVELAND. FOR VICE PRESIDENT, ALLEN G. THURMAN. The Harrison people will use Chinese lanterns and pigtails as their political emblems instead of coonskins., Feidler saw the “ring” the otherday, and the boys of Bellefonte enjoyed the fun. Some one start a sympathy fond. Many leading Republicans are leaving the country for Euarope,—they don’t seem to want to hitch to the Harrisor high-tax monopoly ear. Let every voter remember that the word “tariff” means tax. Wi en you say you favor a high tariff you simply say that you want a high fax on every thing you eat and wear. AAT The free trade that Democrats advo- cate is that which allows every laborer to buy in what store he pleases and not be compelled to} purchase at the pluck- me store as the Republicans would have it. . EEN. The protection which American work- ingmen are clamoring for, is protection against pigtail labor. Harrison voted a dozen times to have cheap Chinese la bor admitted to drive out our own. La- boring men, do you want any more of Harrison's pigtails? ORT In the Harrison campaign of 1840 the whigs strongly advocated the use of hard cider, In the Harrison campaign of 1888 their grandchildren, the repnblicans, are bellowing for cheap whisky in one breath and for cheap morality in the other. Yet, strange tn say, they place thems» selves on a prohibitinn platform too. J. L. Spargler was selected one of the five members of the executive committee of the National Association of Demoeratic Cinbs of the United States, which assem, bled at Baltimore last week. Maj Spangler can feel proud of snch a distine. tion, and we know the convention made no mistake in selecting him; the Centre connty Democracy feel honored ovér their action. ARR TTI A general order has been issued from the headqnarters of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, prohibiting the ran. ning of Sanday excursion trains on any line which it owns and operates. The only exrcepntione to this order which will be allowed, will b= in the ease of religions gatherings, and then oniy when the regular trains will not accomodate the crowds, Adjntant General Hastings did some tall spouting at Chicago. He seemed to have turned into a re ular Geyser. Bat when he promised 100,000 majority for the Chinese ticket in Pennsylvania his andience failed to apnland. Thev had listened to a good deal Jof bras daring the week, hut Hastings paralyzed them. We can inform the adjutant gens eral that the democrats of Pennsylvania intaad to defeat the Chinese ticket and they have entire faith in their ability to earry oat their intention. Let the val- iant knight bnekle on his armor for there is going to be a big fight in this state be. fore the ides of November shall have come. In Washington 100 guns have been fired for Hari ison, the Republicans have pronounced it the strongest nomination, and the Democrsts have unanimously agreed it is the weakest. Now the truth is coming out, and the feeling is one of — chazin! The Republican Senators look positively sheepish, If they want an able man, they had Johan Sherman, If they wanted an impeccable man, then Judge Gresham, If they wanted a rich nonentity, they had Gov. Alger. Ifthey wanted a great leader and organizer they had Mr. Blaine—and they went and took up with Ben Harrison, who, though colorless, isn’t quite colorless enough, And then they are going over all his weak spots and they find a plenty; and when they go to looking for his strong spots, he hasn't got say! He is a geo- graphical candidate. They are eaying to-day that they knew he was weak on the Pacific slope; that he said he wanted an asylum built for the Greenbackers (and Greenbackers are plentiful in In- diana to this day); that he haa been beaten badly three or four times in his own state; that he is rather a cold and clammy sort of man; that he bas been counsel for great railroads ever since he has been in extensive practice as a law yer, All these things they oconld stand REPUBLICANS FOR CLEVELAND. Tax reform is bringing densible Repub- licans over to Cleveland. Mr. C. L.Serrel, Republican burgess of Darby, Chester county, has come out strongly in favor of Cleveland and lower taxes (taritl ) James McGahey, a leading republican of same county bas come out for Cleve- aud and labor protection by lower tarifl or tax, N.O Nelson, of St. Louis, a consistent republican, a declared protectionist and one of the largest manufacturers and handlers of iron goods in the west, has bolted the republican nominations, and will sapport Cleveland and Thurman. He donounces the platform in the lol- lowing language: “It was made to win on and not to believe in, It isa cam- paign dodge. The protection plank as there expressed is merely an offset to the democratic plank for reduced tariffs and I think I representa large number of republicans in objecting to it. The politicans gave the whole thingaway when they declared for the obliteration of internal taxation to offset their high protection. They were pretty hard put.” Mr. Nelson gives employment to 600 hands and manufactures machivery and steam plumbing goods. Mr. Nelson says he has already met scores of his republi- can friends who think as he does in the matter. He is one of the few manufac terers who share their profits with their workmen, General Rufus Barringer, of Charlotte, N. C, has left the republican party and will support Cleveland. He bas been for twenty years one of the leading re~ publicans of North Carolina, and has been liberal with both influence and money. Rev. T. L. Cuyler and Rev. Dr, Storrs, both eminent clergymen of Brooklyn, and both pronounced republicans, de- elare they cannot support Harrison on the monopoly tariff platform. C. B. Haseltine, William Widdicomb, G.M. Lemon and Joseph Martin, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, have startled the republican politicians of Michigan by leaving their party and coming out for Cleveland and the red bandana. —— MONOPOLY vs. THE PEOPLE. The Chicago Tribune, the great repub- lican organ in the northwest declares hat the Chicago convention was manip~ nlated and controlled by the railroad monopolies of the country which had determined to defeat Judge Gresham bes cause of his anti-monopoly record on the beach. It names the following influen~ ces as the all powerfu! factors in the con- vention: 1. Jay Gould and the Wabash wrecking crew, with G. M. Dodge, of Iowa, Gould's right band man, on the ground. 2. The Central Pacific Stanfor i Crocker-Huntingdon ring, with i's attor. ney, Creed Raymond, at the head ofthe California delegation; 3. The Union Pa- cific Credit Mobilier crowd, represented by Attorney Thurston, temporary chairs man of theconvention; 4. Chauncey M. Depew, the railroad attorney and official head of the great Vanderbilt railroad syndicate, and Tom Platt and Wood Pulp Miller as helpers; 5. The great Wiscon- sin railroads, with Senator John O Spooner, railroad attorney, to manipu. late the Wisconsin delegation, says the Tribune, “were the leading rep~ resentatives of corporate monopoly, but with two or three exceptions there was hardly a delegation withouta sprinkling of railroad attorneys and lobbyists. The land grant ring was also represented.” - THE TARIFF. There will be but one issue in this presidential campaign, and that is the tariff, It is a question about which much has been said in the last thirty years, yet is little understood. As there will be no side issues to tax the votec’s mind, he can give thisimportant subject his en tire attention and study it thoroughly between now and November, and under- stand it so thoroughly as to enable him to vote intelligently. We would recommend Cleveland's last message which is given entirely to the discussion of the tariff issue and tax- ation, sbove any other document for the ‘perusal and study of the genera! reader because ita reasoning is so fall and clear’ the wording so plain and concise, that any one of ordinary intelligence will have no trouble to understand it. The President's tariff views, as laid down in the message, sre the sentiments of the Democratic party upon that question, and every unprejudiced mind will agree with the message, In 1840, like in 1888, the Harrison folks affected great love for the working clases and cried “Two dollars a Cay and good roast of beef” Harrison got there. but the $2 and beef never did. his oa dnb: Mp SI WR The ery of Tippecanoe and Boodle too will rally the repeaters from the four E "HALL, PA. EXPOSING BIN. The religious journals of the country are showing up the hypocrisy and double dealing of the Harrison platform in a way that is not very flattering to the pros pects ofthat organization. The Christian Union in a well written article on “The Political Tssne” points out the folly of the Republican policy, which, in the face of a surplus of $125,000,000 and an annual increase of $60,000,000 fails to provide against the menace of hopeless bankruptcy to the country induced by the accumnlation inthe treasury vaults of money which should be applid to the needs of commerce. It prints a parallel column contrasting the propositions of the republican and democratic platform thus: Tax on Tobacco C4] Alcobol i Raw materials, Rep. Dem ‘ Abolish ons Modify ~Jeeduee or abolish. Retain Regain wea DO isl, Nooessaries Retain... Reduce Luxuries......... Retain... Retain Object of tax........ Protection ......... Revenue, Expenditures... Liberal......... Economical, There can be no fairer or more power- ful argument employed than that of this little table. The Christian Union in com- menting upon it uses the following strong terms: We believe that It has vital relat turs of our country. We believe th election will be likely to settle the trend of tional life for some years 10 come Nor have we any wish to conoeal our persons! predilections and prejudices. They are In favor of coonom ics! expenditures and a lowered tari ng to the Any fair-minded man who conscien~ tiously considers the issue thus clearly made must come to the same conclusion or do violence to his judgement. The Chicago Standard and the Advance also publish editorials condemuing the plat. form, and are especially indignant against the “free whisky” resolution. - a - CHEAP WHISKEY CLOTHES, The Chicago Tribune, which supports Harrison, in a fashion, describes the sitnation: The plank of the Republican platform which favors the contingent of the in- AND DEAR AN INDIANA TOWN COMPLETELY WRECKED BY A STORM.
