Fiedler must be drinking worse wh is ky now than he did when he advised merchant Emerick, of Miles, not to vote for a candidate who was a granger, The farmers who grumbled on account of some snoba getting the best tent loca- tions, knew whereof they grumbled, and their names can be learned at these headquarters. The committee was not to blame for any petty favoritism, but it seews it came from the senatorial source with the injunction“ keep quiet.” Groggy Fiedler, what have yoo egainst the farmer and granger, that yon think it right these should take back seats and not be voted for if out for office? say, toddy sucker. The committee desired that the picnic should be a respectable affair, but fellows like you and yours, lent it ail the bad influences that forced itself upon the picnic. Where whisky was drank— there was Fiedler. Where the gambler plied his vocatiou—Fiedler was close to the biacklegs. The Reronrten is looked upon by the farmer and honest graager, as their tra= est friend, and not as a toady or a toddy sucker, nor asone who will place the snob and swindler before the honest far- mer, a8 the Gazette would, Whenever we find you defendiog a back seat for the farmer and advocating petty favorit. ism for snobs, the ReroBrer will pitch in and make your uncombed fur fly, Whatever immorality attended the pic nic came from fellows like Fiedler, and his crowd. Neither he nor the “other fellow” can use the picnic, nor the grans ger and farmer, for the base use of gutter politics, which is their aim. Thatcawn't be done, Now we let you have the floor for six weeks, to explain, 1, Why you tried to persuade a busi. ness man that he should vote against a granger for office; explain, 2, Why you advocate that it is right that the farmer and graoger should tak e a back seat, and the snob and swindler take the front; explain, 3, Why you have for your assistacts gome of the fellows who played the most outrageous swindles upon Centre county farmers, and why you would insult these farmers by placing the former in the front. There are a few farmers who wish hear the vile Gazelle explain these points The picoic idea and its location, origs inated with the Rerorter and was promptly seconded by leading grangers, aod when a cuss like Fiedler brings to it whisky and black-leg followers, we shall not be backward ia exposing the at tempts to degrads what is meant for a decent recreation of the farmers. The fair can be made a success without these ulcers—the grangers will be glad to have drunks, gamblers and swindlers of the farmer, keep away. to three sri m——— The Rynder move is not worthy of mention at all, But as many do not know Rynder, we will take the rind off of him in a briefeay, so that papers may jost know that they are on. ly giving him the notoriety which he is seeking. Rynder is a Centre conaty man, a fors mer peddler of the Rynder organ—he is poor {which is no disgrace) because he has not business tact or stability to be any thihg else, He has made eads meet by running a greenback-labor side show for the last ten years, which was sold out to any party that wonld buy it, His object is solely § §, and we know of no business avocation that Rynder has been in for ten years, except the side-sho w business aforesaid, which ia reality was not worth a fip to any party that bought the cons cern, and what he got for it, was so much to maintain him, and he returned no value for it. Rynder always appoints himself chairman, gets a half dozen fools to act with him as delegates and that's his “state convention,’ Now come to Centre county, or go to Lock Haven where Rynder lived a fow years, selling the Rynder organ, and ine quire about the gentleman, and you will find what we say is correct, and you will give him po more notice or importance thao the common tramp. - --e California estimates her fruit ships ments to the East this year at 10,000 car loads, worth $10,000,000, which leads a San Francisco paper to say: “This Is a pretty good showing for a section In which apples and pears sold freely at $1500 83 a bod gry years ago, ang which at that time was deemed by most persons unfit for any other purpose than to dig gold and raise cattle for their bides and tallow.” "PA.

These are statements which Col. Wickersham would “political effect,” nor were they made in “the heat of a campaign.” In an interview printed York World, Colonel Noyes retired of and for Senator Came; not make for by the Quay and his dissipated and undone too! Blake Walters, cashier Wickersham was an important ficial at the time and in the of the incoming treasurer-elect, Butler, who confided to him the fact found a deficiency of $300,000 when came to look over the treasury bool prior to taking charge in the spring of 1880, and the attempt was made him accept the worihiless paper of and Walters to tide over the Butler refused and Sepator Cameron then came forward and made up the de ficiency “to save the Republican pariy.” “There is one thing you may rest assured of,” said Colonel Wickersham, “Mr. Cam econ will never deny the part he played in settling the treasury deficiency, no matter how strong the pressure that is brought to bear on him.” In 1879, when Quay and his confeders ates had embezzled huadreds of thous. ands from the State Wickersham explains he bad the ut. most difficulty in obtaining from the plandered treasury money daly appro- priated for school purposes, “The school system of the State was suffering,” he says: “Teachers were unpaid and the soldiers’ orphans’ needs were not suppii- ed as they should be.” We well remem- ber the complaints from all parts of State at that time of the inability counties to draw their share of th appropriation for school purposes. and Walters had embezzied the school funds!

This is its os- tensible purpose, but its real aim 1s to in. crease the profits of the monopolists and the protected manufacturers at the ex. pense of the people. The republican party has promised to readjust the tariff laws 80 as to lessen the cost of living and increase the earnings of labor, How has it falfilled this promise? A little exam ination of the results of the passage of the McKinley bill plainly shéws how completely every promise has been bro- ken, Instead of lessening the cost of liviog the McKinley bill will greatly increase it. The dry goods trade is as good a field for investigating this matter as can be found. And whatisthe condition there? The retail merchants are being notified by the jobbers that the latter can no longer furnish goods at the prices that have heretofore prevailed. Ian anticipa- tion of the effects of the McKialey bill prices are being increased all along the line. In some very few instances the prices have not been increased, bat just as soon as the bill goes into effect there will be a rise. In these instances in or- der to take advantage of the present prices merchants are obliged to make large purchases of goods that will not be needed before next spring. AAP SPI Mb A striking address has been printed, signed by 218 Republicans of Bradford and its vicinity, declaring for Pattison and organizing themselves into a “Patti son Republican club” This address voices the sentiment of the oil producers in all the western ccantries. Senator Emery states that seven tenths of the oil prodacers,will vote for Pattison; that two- tenths will not vote at all, and one-tenth will probably support Delamater. The Bradford address, after citing the same facts against Delamater that the Philadel- phin manifestos set forth, declares for Pattison because of his “manly and up- right course” as governor, “persistently fighting all efforts of corporate power to usurp the rights of the people.” ! | A Republican Revolt. { An address, signed by 100 prominent | republicans representing nearly every county in the state has been issued by the independent republican of which the Hon, chairman. committee, George E.

It is a small matter whether or not the penalty of his crime shall be enforced against him, He stands before the people of the State a proven breaker of his oath: a confessed violator of a provision of the fundament- al law, asking to be empowered with the executive authority to enforce the Jaw he tramples upon, To make a money for himself by lending out the State funds deposited in his bank avaricious creature, puttin little more the g his oath and his honor behind him, did pot hesitate to put a brand vpon himeelf that will make him a marked man to of his death.

Remember, SATURDAY OCTOBER 4TH, Unequal Taxation. Governor Pattison in his speech at Port Allegany the other day referred to the unequal taxation of real and personal property. He showed that the value of real property was §1,600,000,000 and that of personal property $1,600,200,000, yet the latter is taxed but $8,000,000 while the former has to pay taxes to the amount of $30,000,000, In the face of these figures no evplanation is needed to show why it is that the farm lands are oontautly “de- creasing in vaiue. The farmers of Dap. hin county and the Cumberland Valley known tbat farms cannot be sold to day for more than one half what they would bave brought ten years ago. The land- owners are gradually becoming poorer, the mortgages are piling up and relief is imperatively demanded, When Mr, Pattison was govornor he called attention to this state of affairs and an allempe was that would have lax«tion more equal. But the repuolicau members of the legislature, true in their allegiance to the bosses and to certain corporations, smothered the bill and nothing more was heard of it. At the next session of the legislature, and again in 1880, the same bill was killed by similar influences. he republican pariy hes thus shown that it has no intention of agswering the farmers’ cry for relief. It was a democratic governor who first attempted to relieve the farmers from the burdens caused by the inequality of the different taxes, and the democratic party stands pledged to remove these in- equalities as for as possible. The farm. ers have the matter in their own hands, Let them elect a democratic administra tion with a democratic legislature boek of it and they will secure relief from their burbens. Af.
