The following is from the Keystone Gazette, of March 24th: “The editor of the Centre Demo- crat this week assumes the preroga- tives of a court of justice and pro- nounces the war-investigating com. mittee a fraud. And especially is the little editor severe on General Beaver, who is a member of the board, and whom he stigmatizes as being guilty of whitewashing the war department. This is terrible; and we hardly see how our townsman, WHO HAD HIS LEG SHOT OFF BY A DEMOCRAT, can survive this second attack.” A liberal reward ill be given detection of ] that ‘““North Ward erat.’ Various ‘scalp.

But none of the interests of the district were neglect. ed. In fact some were well taken care of. It was largely through Mr. Heinle's ability that the appropriations for the Normal Schools, State Collage, Philips. burg Hospital, Lock Haven Hospital and other charities were so favorably recog. nized. Messrs. Foster and Wetzel stood by the interests of the public in every measure that came up. They always opposed every treasury looting scheme, and there were many, and in every instance stood by thelr campaign pledges, to oppose bossism, Quayism and corruption. They made no grandstand plays by introduc. ing foolish measures for political effect, go common among politicians, political bunkum to catch the applause of the rabble. They simply used good come mon sense, attended to business, helped to defeat numerous vicious measures in. tended to loot the treasury or further fas. ten the grip of Quayism on the people of this state. Their carcer from beginning to end was duty faithfully performed. A PAIR OF VERDICTS, Ex-Senator Quay has been ou trial before two tribunals. One, the people of Pennsylvania, judging the issues broadly and generally, technicalities and limitations, only anxious to reach the truth. The other in the narrow lim. its of judicial procedure, the aim to shut out evidence, confine or confuse the in- quiry, exclude the whole truth and reach a technical verdict. ignoring In the court room he has been found not guilty. With the people, taking in the whole case and judging it not as af- but political system, he has been found guilty, fecting individuals, as a corrupt for we think there are few competent judges in the Commonwealth--and by that we mean financiers, bankers and men of affairs who understand the wind- ings in and out of the state treasury management-—but are more thoroughly convinced than ever by this trial that it has been demonstrated that a conspiracy existed, and that the public funds were used by the conspirators for purposes of speculation and stock jobbery. In the words of the constitution: “The making of profit out of the public moneys or using the same for any purpose not authorized by law'' has been made clear by the de- —— 3 velopments of this has pressed the jury of the Commonwealth trial, and ime the honest, clear-headed people it has not the jury unde for senator he would |] ] senator-elect today. Unquestionably it was a in the offenses alleged, the conc trial and its developments, in the court room he is not guilty. The verdict of that higher tribunal, the people, was recorded by the late legislature, and will be emphasized when the people are appealed to for their final verdict at the polls. —Post. —— DEM. COM.

A long and faithful service at the bar, engaged in a varied and extensive practice in every branch of the law, has more than qualified him to grace, with dignity and honor, a seat in the High. est Coart of the State, His devotion to pure political principles, his fealty to the Democratic party, his honesty and honor, his capacity and courage, his ability, in. tegrity and faithful labors have merited and won for him the confidence and united support of the Democracy of the county and entitles him to the considera. tion and support of the entire party of the State. Resolved, by the Democratic Com. mittee of Centre county in regular ses. sion met that we endorse the course of the Hon, William C. Heinle, and the Hon. J. H. Wetzel and Hon, Robert M. Foster Senator from the 3th Senatorial District of Pennsylvania, and Representatives from Centre county, respectively, in the late General Assembly of Pennsylvania, and congratulate each of them on their faithful and efficient service and their re. turn home with clean records from an Assembly dominated by the Boss’ and covered with the stain and slime of cor. ruption, Col.
