Not Guilty The Oechler-Bartges case, which has been occupying the attention of the Clin. ton court for nearly four days last week, was brought to a close Thursday after. noon. Judge Mayer stated that while he did not believe that any criminal should go free, yet the testimony as pre. sented in this case was not sufficient to convict the defendants of the crime for which they were charged. By direction of the court the jury rendered a verdict of not guilty, and the court pay the costs. It is likely that both Oechler and Bart. ges will be brought to trial at the next term of court on another charge, mii Attention Comrades, All comrades of Gregg Post, No. gs. Dept. of Pa. G. A.

The fight this year is being led by John Wannamaker, against Wm. A. Stone, for the nomination of governor. Both factions have been en- gaged, for some time, in traveling over the state holdihg public meetings and appealing to the republican voters for support. Quay is backing Stone, for if he can nominate Stone his victory will be complete and his re-election to the U. S Senate will be assured. Several weeks ago the Wannamaker combination held a monster Bellefonte, On Thursday evening the meeting at Quay-Stone circus arrived in town for the same purpose, All the post office seem to be enthusiastic Stone candidates for the Bellefonte men as they consider that this appoint. ment will drop by the favor of Boss Quay, Ed ward Chambers, Esq., anxious to get his and are trying hard to keepin line, former appointment of Deputy Revenue Collector, is also looking for saving grace through the same source. From this, it is safe to say that the enthusiastic Stone leaders in Centre county are applicants for appointments, other wise they would for might anything that Hastings | want As some overdrawn meeling were News and in dispatcl onor became »r at the hotel. that assembled » Bush House. 1 and Colevill to parade the and wound The consisted of about two « yed on the diamond reworks’ en Roman candles furnished from ber’s office boys, and fired from the court house yard.

He can’t wash his bands of this stain, On the other hand Wavnamaker has his shortcomings, that tarnishes his career, selfish ambitions and glaring inconsisten. cies. Between these two we firmly be. lieve there is a hundred limes more merit in the Wannamaker movement. They are laying bare the rottenness at the state capitol and placing the responsibil. ity where it belongs—the Quay machine which has controlled affairs for many years. There is no doubt that a Wanna. maker administration would result in a great upheaval, thorough cleansing out of Quayism--and that is exactly what every honest, broad-minded republican de. mands and is his'duty to support, John Wannamaker will carry Centre county without a doubt against the Quay jcombination. And it will be a credit to the better clement of the republican party. We mean no reflection hereby ou the Stove enthusiasts in Bellefonte. When a man is a candidate he submits to @ shiings, be otherwise would shun and avoid. GOING TO CHICKAMAUGA.
