4 THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA.,, NOVEMBER 3, 1898, The Centre Drwocrat, CHAS. R. KURTZ, ~~ EDITOR & PROP EDITORIAL. NO SENSATIONS, This is the last issue of this paper in this campaign and we have no sensation to spring on the public, at the eve of the election, Such methods are not counte- nanced by fair minded people. During the past two mouths there bas been am. ple opportunity to present to the voters the reasons why they should support the democratic ticket, and a fair opportunity has been given to discuss these matters and for our opposition to consider the same and make whatever reply they de- sired. By this time most every voter in the county should have determined choice, The fight is practically over and ali that remains is to get out the vote and wait for the resuit. Any campaign dodge sprung by our | his | AFTER SOLDIER VOTES. | “Vote for William C. Arnold the | soldiers’ friend, for congress.” | The above squib we quote from the | Bellefonte Daily News of Oct, 27 inst, | Just what Arnold has done fur the sol diers we think it would be difficult for | the News to tell, Let us examine this { claim of Arnold's briefly. | At Pine Grove Mills he turned down and old, worn-out, crippled-up and shot- to-pieces veteran in the person of George Heberling for postmaster and put in his place a person who never saw the army, At the same place David H. Weaver, a member of Company D, 148 Reg't, who served in the army from August 1862 to the end of the war and was as faithful a | soldier as ever carried a musket, was also ! turned down for the same civilian. In | Milesburg and at Howard old veterans, | who were more than coinpetent tofill the | places they sought, were turned down for men who never saw the army, In Bellefonte, where at least two as | good soldiers as the the Union army boasted of during the civil war, were ap- plicants and were turned down for a civil. republicans at this time is not worthy of | jan who takes little interest in the wel the attention of any thoughtful man be- | cause if it were true and reliable, it would | have been put out early in the campaign. At this time it is too late for a reply, and for that reason bears the stamp of weak cowardice. Such methods only belong to political | guerillas and assassins. We do not be- lieve in such underhand methods. Our only plea is for everybody to come to the polls and vote as your conscience directs and the result will be satisfactory to all, LATER —Since writing above,only a few hours before going to press, two dirty campaign canards have come out in the last issue of the **Bellefonte Republican” and we expect to see them in the "'Ga- also.

After this divis- jon Hall withdrew in favor of A. G. Cur- tin, who paid Hall's campaign expenses, That is something well known, never disputed. It now is rehashed, at this late hour by Arnold, who puts a false brand Hall as now construction on it, to guilty of treachery. short the Coming at the last hour shows its weak- Time is 100 to give details of the affair, ness. It examples of treachery are desired Arnold might have printed copies of the worthless checks, distributed over this district that he gave for years to his friends for homest campaign bills, that went to protest, and to this day are not paid, after enjoying a fat salary two years at Washington. For treachery we need only call up Col. Bayard, T. H. Harter, Al. Dale and others who openly say Arnold deceived them by the basest lies and treachery. The other late fake sent out by Arnold is an affidavit of “Charles T. Turner,” a Morrisdale Mines, found in the same papers thi rss 1 supposed miner, of Pa., of a stri rrested by Kk Kaul, re mining firm of Hall & cast into prisom for ten days on false charges, ten of which were held for nine months and then released without trial. This is an infamous misrepresentation, by a party of shady career in Clearfield county. This affidavit was refused by the Republican Chairman, of Clearfield The re- cords of Elk county will prove the same.

But, outside of this, what has Arnold done for the old soldiers that he should be called the soldier's friend? been in congress now four sessions (in- cluding the extra) and has introduced no bill nor advocated the passage of any measure that would compel the pension department to hasten its business, or make it more convenient for the worthy old veteran to obtain his just dues. bas had a lot of cards struck, and when anyoue writes him about a pension claim | he puts his name on one of these with a rubber stamp and sends it to the pension er, saying he has called up his claim, and thus the matter ends make If proceedings of this kind man a soldier's friend, then it does n t take much and you need not do mu win such an honorable title.
