The present campaign has been one of more than average political warfare. In every county In thu Statu It Ins raced with Inees'cnt enthusiasm. Ami whilst the rank ami hie of the various parties have been shhkcn by disruptions usual at a time like this when the anticipations of disappointed ' olIlce seekers have not been realized, as i,lu j'ay of election appro.u-hcs the urcccn giauuniiy ncais and till nlonstlio lino It Is sublimely serene. This year has produced In politics a faction or an offspring of the two old parties, called Prohibitionists, who have placed a full State ticket, mid In many Instances, n county ticket In the "political meadow." Tho growth of this party Is fully recog nized, but what effect It will have upon tho two older parlies Is beyond tbo power of the ablest politician lo say. A large number of votes may bo polled by tbo 1'rolilblllonlsts and again they may poll only a few. The present campaign is a thcatio to them in which the can didates are tho actors, the voters the audience, the platform tho programme, and there Is hardly a doubt but that when the curtain rolls down next Tncs. day night, bolh nciore and audience will vote tlio wlioie thing a "genuine I larec. to tlie two older partles the campaign hai been one of haul work with a certain mixture of enthulasm that has lent to the issue nn aspect of genuine earnestness mid aggressiveness .... tl.ni.nr, r.t nil l.n ."l 1.1,. .. .... I on the part of all the eandldijes. who have been placed upon tho party plat forms so strong In construction, that If It depended at all upon tbo relative strength of tho planks of promises nil tho candidates must necessarily be elected. However, we havo reached a political ago when party pl.itfoims amount to naught In the estimation of the majority ot voters and I he candidate himself must needs stand up and out in view of the people, to be judged accord ing to his past actions and tho party he represents. Tlie candidates on tlie pv er.il tickets aro men st longest In their respective parties, no doubt, and as such aro supposed to poll the full vote of that party with a certain number of eoniplimentar votes which will swell up their majorities Into the huudredsor thousands; however, this may prove itself an "oir year'1 in point of majori ties as the men most interested In our political government areawnkoto the Issues at stake. They recognize to a certain extent tho extreme foolishness of the protective tarilf Nsue, when men foremost In monopolistic enlerpiises furnish the '-cash'' to keep I lie political cauldiou seething. They begin to re alize too, ns it were, that Ml has been under the present high tariff "progres slveness of our country" that the'iull llonalifi and pauper lias been created; they are fully a ware that "protection protects." not the inteiests of the day laborer but tlrfi bonded and corporate Interests or the monopolist.

Has not the af fairs of State been conducted on a tier teclly honest and legitimate basis since the chief exermlve has been of Demo cratic antecedents? The prosperity In business circles under Democratic "rule proves conclusively that thu Democratic party Is die pally for the people, ami as such theduiy of the voter Is significant. On Tuesday morning the polls open, it Is the dii'y of every voter to observe the right of suffrage, it is also hi) bounden duly to vole 10 his best Interests, re gardless of former political antecedents. Now then, what are jolt going to do about It? 11'hllft walking up Bankway.

Bill unfortun ately we were compelled to leave before the gentlemen put in their appearance. How much we may have inissod by be ing called away is a dlillcult matter to determine. It Is natural to conclude, howeyei, that both gentlemen, who bv the way, are able speakers, were just as energetic and forcible in their denunci ation of tlie principles of Democracy ami Republicanism as tiey formerly were In lauding tho two grandest, parties ever created by a free and equal people. Vciilv. die way of the politically in clined is hard to determine. "Yes," remarked an enthusiastic Prohibitionist one day recently, "we will poll a big vote this jear." He based his reason for the above assertion ou the fact that the number of dissatis lied politicians In the older parties had caused them to be more or les3 negligent In pushing forward the interests of i heir respective parties. Now, we think our "Div" friend'ls lusta litib. bit mkmL-nn tin his coujeetuios.

Great excitement prevailed hero last Friday owing to the shooting of Harry Stansherry, an employee in the Lehigh Stove Works, by Thomas McLaien, In spector of tlie stove mounting depart ment in tho same works. The shooting was tho result of a disigrecinent the night previous when McLaren received a beating at the hands of Stansberrv. Immediately after the shooting McLaren wasanested by Constable Schoch and taken before 'Squire Beltz whero, ho gave ball In the sum of $1000 for his ap pearance at the January term of our county court, it. V. Hollord being his secuilty. There being such a divergency In the stories regarding the actions of both men at the time of the shooting, that, as a matter bf justice to the Individuals concerned, we publish tbo stories of both men. Tho AmVocati: representative in an interview witn stansberry last Sunday was told tiii: i-qllowixo stouv: I am a stove mounter working In the Lehigh Stove. Works; McLaren (3 In spector of the stove mourning depart ment, it is his duty to go around and examine me stoves niter they are mounted and to see that they are pnip eilv registered or marked. On Munday I broke two cylinders and McLaren de nuded slim tor the two cylinders when the actual price should have been fifteen cents apiece or thirty cents for the two. I quit working at the foundry on Thurs day morning on account of tho undue Imposition on me r'egardlrg the dlstrl- uution 01 wqiK. 1 met McLaren at KIstler's livery stable on Thursday night at about quarter past six "o'clock, and I granueii noiu ot tutu anil punched hint. "lc" went lo the 'squire's office. I U'fllt-J.il im I r, IVI1 nb. .11 f nl ..It t .ir,lr.r r ,..l li walked up town nboutclght o'clock with the intention of apologizing but ho would not listen to me. On Thursday night 1, fearing that McLaien Intended having me arrested, jumped on a coal train and went to Allentovwi; and On Friday morning I changed my mind about staying away and jumped on an-, other coal train and came back to town, and at the crossing opposite Butler's new houses I jumped otf the cars, and McLaren who was coining across the track called for me to como down. When he called for me I looked around and seeing who It was went back to wards him, whereupon he asked why I had assaulted him and other questions lo which I refilled that "ho ought lo knoiv for anybody to act as mean as he did," when he said I "should get ready to leave tho wotld In half a minute," and moving backward Im pulled out his icvolyer and pointing It towards my body said "hands upordled," or "pray or die," I don't remember which, anil counting one, two, and as ho was saying three he llred, and as be fired I jumped the ball lojglng In my left limb near the knee. After be. shot me he said '.'die, you s of a b , dial" I wasstand- Ing after he shut me. but thinking that probably heinleti led shooting me'agaln I fell clown, when several parties, vv ho had been attracted to the scene helped me up and took me in to Dr. Horn's of fice vvhere the wound was attended to. To the question, "did you threaten to murder McLaren if he would have you arreted, and did you follow him up re pealing your thtcats?" Stansberry ans wered "No! I did not follow him up and repeat threats; I may have said something like It In my passion but I did nut mean It. But 1 did go up to 'Squire Beltz after him because 1 wanted to settle the matter if I could." WHAT MCLAltCX HAS To SAY I I am foreman of the stove mounting department In the Lehigh Stove Works'; It Is my duty as the foreman to see that the affairs under my supervision are conducted to the full Interest of my em ployers. Stansberry had been woiklng on and olT up to Thursday, and on that day he asked Mr. Green for his "time." I don't know what -answer he got, but soon after Stansberry came up to me and said, "I hear you aro going to charge me for those two cylinders that 1 bioke?" I said, I don't know. He answered "if you do, you s of a b , I'll murder you;" I said get out of my wav; he replie 1 "do you want to fight?" ami I told lit in again to get out of mv way, and he then said he would murder me the lirst time he caught me after dark, and I then went out to the lioilei loom. Stansberry then went lo Ch.ulcy Arncrand said "I offered thu little his licking, and I'll mur der liiiu as soon as itgclsd.uk, and that ho (McLaren) would bo down die next .lay walking around without a head." I was advised by several of tho boys to look out as Stansberiy intended to mur der me. He ramo hack and threatened me, shaking his list in my face, and I asked hlin lo please stand out of the way. When ho came up tho second time he said "you , why didn't you charge mo for the other things I broke?" I lol 1 him that I charged no man with anything when the breakage could not be bellied. About six o'clock I started for home the occurrence of the day completely forgotten, and when at KIstler's stable Stansberry jumped out saying "you are tho I am lav lug for!" an.l grabbed me. Thinking that that lie intended throwing me in the water tank. I said Harry what do you Intend to do? ho replied, "drown ott, you . dronn you." Ho then throwed me doun on the stones when Reichard came up and pulled lilin off, Stansberry however, kicking me In die face as he was pulled away. I then went to the 'Squire's onice, and as I left he started after but was prevented from following me by Jake Kistler; some one asked him wheie he was going when he sturted for me and he said "(tfter him to itmrtler ItlmY' Ho broke away from them and as I got up to tlie 'Squire's of fice he asked me what 1 Intended to do? and If 1 would have him arrested ho would murder inc. that 1 ought to know him as he had a reputation as a fighter and that there wero others who could lake his place If I did have him arrested. 1 told him 1 was not going to have him airesieJ but was only looking for pro tection. I went to the Advocati: of fice and asked where I could find 'Squire Belli, being lold I went down Into the basement of .Mr. Beltz's lesldenco and wo went into his ollice together. I told lilin 1 desired protection, and he accom panied me home. After supper 1 again went to Beltz's ollico; I stood on the corner opposite the Exchange Hotel talking, when Stansberiy canie'alung In company with another individual when he again, tor the third time, accosted uie and offered to light; I told him I did not want to bother wlih hlm.and I went over to Gaud's and bought a revolver and loaded It, and then went to the 'Squlro's ollico and asked fur n permit to carry It. as my life was not safe. On Thurs lay night Stansberry left town and I concluded that now the affair would soon be forgotten. On Friday morning 1 started for the shop and when at the ralhoad I thought of something that I bad been requested to do anil so turned around and started up the hill. Looking up the hill I saw Stansberry near tho Echango Hotel and he ha'pneued lo glance around w hen he saw me at the toot of the hill and turning around start ed to run toward me; thinking that he i"'?',",1'"'1 J'"ldng on a passing coa iTuTu'J ,or.Mm .u" ""V""' gcoal tram vement. ,,e,. 801 t0 moho ""Wed '?'! ,i- , ' , '"1 .77T' '",n!"e not ,'.'-" ",uu" ulrr "men i re Piled, no, not very much.

For ''Sorehead Indignant." Ed. Advocate: I do mostcmrihatl- cally deny having spoken of the Pro hibition party as "soreheads and block- tieails" in mv address deliverer: In tho Evaneelical church, lleissport. I have not been correctly reported, and don't proposo lo snatch "Indignant Sore head's" back for two reasons: 1st. If its as soro ns Ids bead. I have no remedy for the disease, but would offer the following, which may cure:' Immediately on receipt of the Auvo- cati:( read the leu Commandments; on Sabbath morning offer the Lord's Prayer and read tho Seimon on the Mount, after which attend to your re ligious ditties; If you are careful this will bring you down to Monday morn ing, during this day "touch not, taste not, handle nut," keen vour head cool and your feet warm, lu order to keep your mind occupied daring this trying ordeal, commit to memory, nnd repeal often, the smart things that the "In dignant Sorehead" wrote in last week's Advooait. about the "ltov"-Blockhead Webster C. ll'clss, then laugh, long and loud, until Tuesday morning. Nov. 2d, 1S.0, seven o'clock sham, (be careful nnd make no mistake about I lie date and time) then go to the polls, clear headed and vote for Jas. A. Beaver and the whole Kepubllcan ticket and you have accomplished more lo hasten the glad day of Prohibition than all your efforts In the past. 2nd. It's neither manly or courage ous lo scratch a man's character In the dark (behind his back), floating under n assumed name. The smart things yon say of mo are worthy of a better subscriber than "Sorehead;" and if the "Indignant Sorehead" Is not satisfied with tbo above, will reveal his true mine to me, and will reply to thlsarticle "A .-sorehead Indignant" more fully. W. C. ll'tnss. P. S. You tickle my face, aad I will tickle your face. To theEdltornf the Ahvocati;: Dy vour permission, and In justice to Mr. W. C. ll'eiss, I desire to correct a mis representation that was mado by your Welsporl correspondent In regard to the "Prohibition party being composed of soreheads and blockheads." Such a saying was not uttered bv Mr. Weiss, but when speaking of the solution of the liquor question and the prohibition of th anufneture and sale of nil Intoxi cants, he said, that on account of the existence of soreheads nnd blockheads and extienilsts in the different political parties, the work of eradicating the evils of liitcmpcranco would. Instead of proving a success and bringing to pass a complete victory, simply" retard the progress of the good work. ll'elsssport, Oct. 20. C. II. Egoe. Flcasont Corner Items.
