The Daily News, Quay organ, says
it is none of the Democrats’ “business
who the Republican legislatures vote
for for U. 8. Senator.” That's heavy :
it’s about the brain size of Quay con-
tingents.
H. B. Herring, for county surveyor,
has had years of experience in the line
of that position. Accuracy and clear-
ness have characterized his work. He
is an intelligent farmer and stands
high in his community as a useful citi-
zen.
corre
M. I. Gardner, our nominee for Pro-
thonotary, is a gentleman of clean
character and exemplary habits. From
his youth up his life was in the chan-
pel of honest industry. He is well
qualified for this important office, and
he will be found accommodating and
obliging in the discharge of the duties
of the position.

Candidate Stone, seeing that his in-
timacy with and nomination by Quay
will likely cause his defeat, in a speech
a few days ago, promised to be a good
governor and discountenance corrupt
legislation. It is too late; Quay has
carried that Stone as his watch charm
too long.
se————
Governor Hastings made a speech in
the Philadelphia Academy of Music,
a few evenings ago, in which he did
Jenks no harm and Stone no good, be-
ing severe in denouncing the corrupt
doings at Harrisburg. The Quay ma-
chine may not call upon the Governor
to make any more speeches during this
campaign.
A fA —————
A half million of state school funds
have been withheld by Quay and his
creatures in office and placed in banks
for private speculation and the ioter-
est ased for party purposes. Hundreds
of school teachers in Philadelphia and
other parts of the state had to do with-
out their pay for long periods on this
account. This is a notorious fact. If
Townsend and Daley are elected to the
legislature, they will vote to re-elect
Quay to the Serfate and his machine
will continue to steal the state funds.
Vote for Wetzel and Foster for as.
sembly.
That this district will turn down
Arnold for Congress and elect Hall by
a tremendous majority, is a foregone
conclusion. Republicans all over the
district are outspoken in their support
of Hall. He is a man of honor and in-
tegrity, and a desperate effort is being
made by the Republicans to assail his
reputation. It will avail them little.
Hall stands unsullied by the weak at-
tacks, far above the blackened and un-
enviable career of our mis-representa-
tive, Wm, Arnold.
a
We have two sets of legislative can-
didates in this county, the Not-mums
and the Mums.
Wetzel and Foster are not mum, or
afraid to say where they stand upon
the great issue whether Quay shall be
elected for a third term in the senate.
But Townsend and Daley are mum,
afraid to say where they stand as to
the prince of corruption.
The Centre Democrat sent a note of
inquiry to the four gentlemen above
named, to define their position as to
Quay, whether they will vote for his
return to the senate ; or will they sup-
port a fusion to elect an independent
Republican in place of Quay.
Foster and Wetzel are bold to say
No, re ye and if no Democrat
can be elected to support a fusion to
elect an independent Repiblisan.
Daly makes no reply, is
Townsend in his reply refuses
to say
Of course, Daley and Townsend are
for Quay and the machine and all that
that implies.

We have gathered information from
all counties of this senatorial district
and the summing up is that Wm, C.
Heinle will be triumphantly elected
state senator, His nomination, un-
sought, was a wise one, and many
scores of Republicans will cast their
votes for him, because they know him
to be a fit man for the place and will

POINTS FROM JENKS SPEECH
At Chester: We are apt not to seri-

years the wealth of the State will be |
exhausted unless you select agents who
will do your work honestly and eco- |

A chauge essential :
insist upon a change in the methods
that now operate to make you grow
poorer each year. There is serious dan-
ger, unless you look after your own af-
fairs more closely.
this campaign is the union of all those
citizens who are opposed to Quayism.
If these elements do unite, then we
can hope for the overthrow of the ma-
chine.
You must, however, look after your
Legislative tickets, A Governor, hon-
est as the sun, is practically helpless if
he is handicapped by a dishonest Leg-
islature. Governor Pattison was thus
handicapped. He was an honest Gov-
ernor. The Democrats were proud of
him, and Republicans felt safe under
his rule. Under him expenses were
kept down, since he retired expenses
have more than doubled.
Rush for the spoils : Having been

who seek office only for personal gain.
As eagles gather around a carcass, so
do villains scramble into the party in
