VOL. LXXXYV. REORGANIZ ERY ARE REGULAR, Every Democrat Has the Privilege to Op- pose affey Without Violating Party Obligations The Majority Will Rule, The members of the Democratic party in Pennsylvania who are striv- ing to elect new officers for the state organization are no less regular, are no less true Democrats, are no less loyal than those who are striving to retain the old regime—Guffey, Hall, Ritter, etc. Every member of the Democratic party in the Keystone state bas the right to express himself on Baturday, April 13, on the ques tion of leadership in the state. If he prefers the continued rule of Guffey and Hall he will vote for a delegate to the Btate Convention who at the State Convention wili vote for Mr. Gaffey for State Chairman ; the Democrats who think a better leader than Mr. Guffey should be the State Chairman, will vote for a delegate to the State Convention who will vote for some other man than Mr. Guffey for Btate Chairman. This is a privilege every Democrat has, and he has the right to exercise it without compromising bimesel!. The election on Saturday, April 13th, is for no other purpose than to give the Democratic voter an opportunity to express himself as to his preference for State Chairman as well as for county chairman and members of the Legislature, and dele- gates to the state and national con- ventions, Mr. Guffey and his followers are in effect taking tte stand that all Demo- crats who do not favor Mr. Guffey for state chairman are not regular ; they assume that they ( Gufley, Hall, Gar- man, etc.) are the Democratic party ; that to be a Bimon-pure Democrat one must have the Guffey brand-iron mark on him. It sppears that the great majority of the Democratic voters in Pennsylvania are no longer willing to subject to this brauding, and April 13ch is the uay for taking account, The large msjority of Democrats who aie opposed to Mr. Guffey have not parted from Democratic beliefs, but on the contrary, they are the most reliable element when party principle is involved. Those op- posed to Mr. Guffey are opposed to bim and the state leaders because they are convinced the organization con- trolled by them is not conducted in the interest of the Democrats of Penn- sylvapia, but is made to serve the Repubiican state organization, the beueficiaries being suco of the Guffey followers who are willing to aid the Republican orgsuization when ocea- sion vemands it. In other words the Democratic party iu Peunsyivania has been a most valuable asset to the Republican machine, The nomination of Mr. Grim was an illustration of this, Mr. Munson was driven from the Allen- town convention, and Berry was de feated by Gufley-Hall ontrolled dele- gates. Thdt Mr, Berry was the choice of the people cannot be denied ; the vote throughout ihe state proves it; the leaders had no regard for the wishes of the peuple at the Allentown convention, and they have no regard now for their wishes, If the Democratic party in Penneyl- Vania is to become an effective oppo- sition to the Republican party in the state, there must be leaders elected who will be willing at all times and under all circumstances to put the Democratic party in direct opposition to the Repuolican state machine ; leaders who will not treat with the Republican organization ; leaders wh. will not aid in the election of Repub licans in Philadelphia; leaders who will not sacrifice their caudidates for 8 clear senatorial field ; leaders who can rise above their personal ambi. tions and serve the people, If you favor reorganizing the Dem- ocratic psrty you have a perfect right to vote for delegates to the state con- vention who will vote and work to that end, If you favor reorganization of the Democratic party aod vote for a county chairman, a state delegate and national delegates, who favor such a movement, you are not putting your. seif outside the Democratic party, No, you are exercising a right that be- longs to you ae a For some years the present leaders have mavipulsted the party aflairs without hindrance ; they financed it, and because they floanced it they claimed the privilege to dictate the candidates to be named ; the great msjority of the Democrats throughout the state have declared that the present leaders shall no longer be permitted to dictate the selection of candidates ; no longer be ln collusion with the Republican state machine— hence the war, and the decisive battle willbe tought, Saturday, April 18th, Sn—— os ———— A brood mare sold by John Wie land, at a public sale last brought $281, Oae of her col three soar old, sold at the a M.

LIVELY GRANGE MEETING, Ulass of 24 Given Degree—Indebtedness Redaced by One Hundred Dollars, More than one hundred members of Progress Grange assembled in Grange Arcadia on Baturday afternoon to par- ticipate in the exercises incident to giving the third and fourth degrees to a class of 24 members. After the officers had instructed the new mem- bers In the work, a procession was formed and all were led to the lower ball, where two tables ladened with choice refreshments were surrounded. One of the features was the an- nouncement that sufficient funds had been gathered to cancel a bond of one bundred dollars, that sum represent. ing one-seventh of the indebtedness of the order on its splendid hall. Hixty of the one hundred dollars was ob- tained through the lecture course committee, and fo this fund all who patronized the lecture course contrib uted.

Much, how- | ever, depends on whether April wealber conditions are favorable. The grass fields, both the new or stubble fields, and the old flelds or meadows, were not injured by the ex- cessive freezing. Few clover plants were lifted by the action of the frost. Bome of the newly sown alfalfa fields] were practically ruined, while others withstood the winter remarkably well, The type of soll bad much to do with the heaving of the ground and de struction of the plantas.

On both occasions ‘‘ sluggers'’ were sent in to start a batting rally, but Musser show. ed his nerve by causing the heavy bitters to either fan the breeze or hit weakly in the infleld.
