LOVE'S FACTION COMPLETELY

last Saturday. The battle fought on
i
in the political history of Centre coun- |
ty. It has waged for weeks, and the]
bitterness and personalities indulged |
in by the combatants, is without an |
exception in any political campaign. |
The history of the fight is known to |
all, but can be briefly told.
Ex-Gov. Hastings while presiding in |
the executive chair, lost control of his |
county, last year through compulsory
absence, and Judge Love, Jack Dale,
and Ed. Chambers set up a little polit- |
ernor. They were successful one year |
ago in making a clean sweep of the
county, and their convention was en-}
tirely anti-Hastings in character. The |
Gov. was chagrined at the treatment |
he received from men whom he had 1”
assisted in political and private posi-|
tions, and on coming home decided to |
take an active part in the next cam-
paign, and convince these would-be
political usurpers that they had not |
been up against the real thing. Heor- |
ganized thoroughly in every district,
and its thoroughness is attested by the |
overwhelming result of the primaries.
The Love faction were equally ou
the alert and left no stone unturned to |
help them through. Without an or- |
gan, late in the fight they bought
hitherto unknown newspaper,
hurled charges of corruption and mal-
administration at Hastings.
ities were freely indulged in,
insinuations were broad and sweeping. |
Standard oil, Johustown flood,
church, and other insinuations were
hurled at the ex-Gov. by the Love |
erowd, but the charges only acted as a

Personal- |
and the |
Grace |
listened with a deaf ear to the entreat
ies to desert the anti-Quay crowd and |
endorse the jobbery and public steals |
at Harrisburg, the cut in the school |
appropriations, and the corruption in|
the state executive officers. The issue |
was clear and clean cut, and casy
the voter to comprehend. !
The Quayites promised offices galore, |
spent money with a free hand, and i
where a man occupied a political posi- |
tion threatened to use the axe unless
he turned in hard for Love and his
candidates, There were no offices to
give and the voter understood this
He will pay a dear price for keeping
the Quy men in office and has had
enough.
In some districts the primaries were
held from 2 to 4 o'clock Saturday after-
noon. When the result was counted
all of the precinets had been coined by
Hastings with heavy majorities. Will-
iams and Gowland, the anti-Quay can-
didates for delegates to the state con-
vention were leading Miller and Dun-
widdie, Love's candidates, by large
majorities, The returns showed the
way the wind was blowing, and the
news disheartened the Love workers
in the districts where the voting was
to be done from 7 to 9 in the evening.
On the other hand the Hastings peo-
ple redoubled their efforts with the en-
couraging news at hand. The county
ticket was lost sight of in the fray, and
little attention was given the candi-
dates for the various offices,
That the Love crowd are in the fight
to the death was evidenced by the con-
vention held on Tuesday, in the court
house at Bellefonte. The convention
convened at 11 o'clock in the morning,
and the court house was quickly filled
after the ringing of the bell. The
aisles were packed with onlookers who
expected to see some fun in the pro.
ceedings, but they were in part disap-
pointed. The affair was cut and dried
and everything passed off harmonious.

The cut in the school appropriation by
Gov. Blone was condemned. When
the resolutions were read, delegate A.
E. Emerick, foreman of the engineer-
ing building, offered the following
amendment: Resolved that this con
vention indorse the wise, patriotic and
business-like administration of Gov.
W. A. Stone.” When be rose, he was
promptly informed that he was out of
order, but he persisted in reading the
resolution although his voice was
drowned out in the storm of hoots,
howls and hisses the resolution raised.
Emerick was game. He placed the
resolution on the chairman's desk,
who glanced at it and then flung it
down among the reporters. The reso-
lution had been turned down by the
committee and delegate Emerick
brought it to the front to put the con-
vention on record. There was no en-
dorsing Quay’s tool in the executive
chair by that assemblage. The resolu-
tions were adopted with a unanimous
vote. Asa fitiing wind-up, the chair-
mun was called upon for the speech
which he stated he wished to make
when the work had been done.

going up from all parts of the house,

Target Praciice This Year,
An order has been issued aonounc-

Guard of Pennsylvania this year. The
season opened July 15, and will close
November 30. On secount of the state
soldiery being in the United States
service there was no target practice
last year, but the members of the Na-
tional Guard who qualified in 1807
and remained in their organizations in
1898 received a double credit for the
1867 score, or a credit in 1808 without
actually doing the work. A special
Spanish-American war decoration was
given as a reward for 1808 qualification.

Subject of Fish Culture.
A movement is now on foot oun the
part of the representatives of the Penn-
sylvania commission to interest the
school teachers in the introduction of
fish culture, fish protection and fish
interests as subjects for object lesson
teaching in the schools. This move
ment was inaugurated by State Statis-
tican of Fisheries Wm. E. Mechan.
In 1870 many of the rivers of Penn-
sylvania were almost barren of shad,
especially that of the Busquehanna. In
15880, the shad industry was not worth
more than $80.000, That is from the
rivers in the eastern part of the state,
Now it is worth over $600,000, The av-
erage weight of the fish in 1880 was
about two and a half pounds, as
against fourand a half pounds the
present year with a maximum weight
of about thirteen pounds. This shows
a wonderful increase, almost incom
preliensible,
