Tue people of the county are paving six dollars a day regularly to two com- missioners who in | of Republican reform (¥) have dered a balance in the treasary of 338. 000.00 and actually run the county into debt. What an expensive luxury a Re- publican adminstration is. - squan- THE Gazette ation of farm lands does not says increasing the valu- the farmers taxes, even if the same rate | | of taxation is retained. Accor this way reasoning the De farmers of Marion tow: their valuations raised by the Republi- | can board of Commissioners, pay no more taxes than can neighbors, who had their valuations | reduced. The old fashioned way of cal- culating would bring an entirely differ. ent result, but the Gazetts is all right, and of course he knows. of nocratic whip, v HO LEN would | : their Republi | man says it -_— WHEN the Democrats came into pow- | er in the county in 1863 the county in- debtedness amounted to $125,000.00 and the tax rate was not less than five mills. In 1887 when the republicans obtained control of the county offices this debt was all paid, 838,000.00 in the treasury and the tax rate two and one half mills. Less than two years of Repnblican rule squandered this surplus, the county is actually in debt and the valuation of property had to be raised toward in. creasing the tax rate. Vote the Demo- cratic ticket this year, and return all efficient officers and vote it again next year, and turn the Republican rascals out, —————— — Way have the Republics papers neglected to publish the late report of the Grand Jury? Judge Furst pro. nounced it an honest and faithful report from the Bench, and others have com. mended it. Such a document, refering as it does to the condition of the county property, should be published by every honest newspaper in the county as a matter of news. By the way, the re port reflected rather severely, upon some county officials who are Republi. cans, and if read by the people of the county, might lose some votes for the grand old party. It is possible that this is the reason why the report has not ap- peared in the Republican county papers, Are these Republican reformers(?) af. raid to publish this report? Does it strike too near at home for comfort? Durixa the four years of Democratic rule under Cleveland the national debt was largely decreased; about $40,000,000 of anditional pensions paid to widows and decerving veterans; a navy organ- ized and equiped of which every one can be proud, and the civil service raised to a standard for about what it ever was before. In less than seven months of Republican rule under Harrison the na- tional bebt has been increased by adding millions; the pension office under Tanner has become a sink hole of corruption; the surplus in the Treasury rapidly disapearing; and the civil service Is entrusted to the mer- cies of Mat Quay, Tom Platt, Billy Mahene and Fort Pillon Chalmers, The Grand Jury beg leave to re- | | { ourt | ess than two years | increase | Hina $ Ging Lo | THE OLD SOLDIER.

About three weeks after the above trip to Bellefonte, Mr. Sylvius and the citizens of Aaronsburg were surprised when it was announced that Mich Musser received the post office appoint- ment, when he ( want it and told Sylvius so. MUSSER'S DOUBLE GAME Mich, Musser is a sly fox, and evident- ly told Sylvius that he didnot want it, to keep matters quiet, while he worked his winning card by an scheme and succeeded admirably, Musser was an old soldier also, we be frank in the matter, recognized by holding the post office at Aaronsburg for over twelve years dur- ing the Republican administrations; he wis well served and should have stood aside. Then he is considered wealthy !is an able bodied man, while Mr, Sylvius is a poor man and a crippled Merit did not come into con. sideration in this case and the point we make is that Musser was a political favorite of the leaders while Sylvius was without influence or polit- Mr. HT soldier, & Poor man ical friends, Musser got his appointment by stand. ing in with Jim Coburn, who is & hench- man, man-Friday to Gen. a hanger-on or rather a sort-of.a Hasti and Gov, him to ngs Beaver and they allow suggest { the i | whicl wie Haines town Appointments in that little section, h makes him feel migl hty important the none among I | | diers by promising them increased pen- |: sions and recognition When Tanner took charge sion office he started in with i tion of fulfilling { He was true to his out of the Pension | The in their pro his party’ party but g office in short orde on did not remain troe y the old much for their broken pledges on Pen- administrati MNISes 1 oldiers.

In this county no old and tried soldier of | the late war receives any reward unless he belongs to a favored clique, is in the | good graces of the Bellefonte politicians and must belong to the Hasting's fac- tion. His services and army record are never considered unless he has the other qualifications, We have made some broad and sweep. ing assertions and may fall upon our readers minds as idle bablings of an irresponsible scribbler unless something substantial can be given in support of the statements, OUR PROOF, To prove the above charge of bad faith of the Republican party will cite one of the many cases which have come under our obsesvation in the last few months, J. A. SYLVIUS, SXUBED, Down at Aaronsburg there lives a man by the above name who bared his breast and risked his life in our coun try'sgreat trial of 1560-64. Je was in the service and bore the privations and hardships of a soldier life without a murmer. Like thousands of others, he was seriously wounded and came home a crippled and maimed hero of the war. His left arm was riddled with bullets and to-day is nothing but a dis- figured, distored and withered member. He is a cripple and is unable to perform a day's work and must shifc along as he best knows how, When Harrison was elected Mr. Sylvius grew hopeful that his party might recognize him and assist him in some way to make a decent liv. pos. He thought of making applica. tionto the Republican leaders in our county, Hastings and Beaver, for the post office at Aaronsburg. Mich Mus. sey who held it formerly under the Re. publican rule, was consulted. Mr, Mus- ser said he would not be an applicant for the position and encouraged Mr. Sy) vius in his effort. Mr. Sylvius then framed a petition and iu a few days al. most every voter, regardless of polities, in that section signed his application, He then came to Bellefonte and called upon General Hastings who, in his hos. | © pitable way, Jeft him under the impros- sion that he would certainly get the ap. pointment.

In the face of all this the lican leaders are trying to force voters in Haines twp., to support Mus. | ser for Associate Judge and, if elect. | ed, will be his third office while the de. men shoved old Republicans fo: "M Repub licans of the county must take a seat, ANOTHER INSTANCE, A.

Then there is Matt Riddle another old soldier who asked for com- missioner’s clerk but was shoved aside for a young stripling. Then there is Davy Glenn who was promised the ap- pointment of storekeeper, at Pleasant Gap distillery, but has been notified that the bosses have gone back on their promise, The fact of the matter is old soldiers have no recognition in the Republicrn ranks unless they are “in the swim," tody to Gen. Hastings and do his bid. ding like menial servants and all in this great and glorious land of freedom and Liberty. — IN 1885 at'the last rn assessment the taxable property in Centre county was valued at $10,002,454, thus making an increase of $315,828 and this in the face of the fact that farm land has de. creased In value since 15886, This in. creased valuation will increase the county taxes #7,865.70, almost one half as much as it cost to run the business of the county under Democratic rule. But the Gasette says an increased valu. ation does not increase the farmers tax. es. “Ish dot so?"

Who they are, where they Live, and when some of them were Married-Taken from the Marriage Docket. Some time ago the Democrat pub. lished regularly a list of all marriage licenses granted as found on the “Mar. riage Docket” in the Register's Offices, At the request of Register John A, Rupp, it was discontineed, as he said they were kicking all along the line and caused him considerable annoy- ance. This week we commence publishing them with Mr. Rupp's objection filed. The publication of these licenses is done in almost every county in the State, Tt is public matter and is interesting and legitimate news for our readers. Mr. Rupp cannot prevent their publication and if any kicking is to be done don't give it to him.
