LOCAL “UNION PARTY.”
Persons coming up High street cannot
fail but notice the large flag suspended
in front of the Bush Arcade. It was put
up on last Friday by the members of the
Union Party in this county. They now
have their headquarters open in the Ar.
cade building and are formulating an
active campaign to reach all parts of
the county. Itis hard to say what the
extent of the Union Party move will be
in this county, but those in
charge declare that when
counted this fall there will be some sur.
prises in store for the old line politicians.
Chairman John C. Miller says that the
abusive, vicious and uncalled-for attack
upon him in the last issue of the State
Coliege Times is not worthy of notice, as
it is a question that is not at issue in this
campaign, and one that the voters will
not be concerned in at the election. It
was cowardly, as dirty a piece of editori-
al work as we have seen for some time.
In the State College Times it was mark-
ed “Communicated” so that the old Oleo-
fraud, who directs the editorial course of
that paper, might absolve himself from
the responsibility of the same, but at the
same time he fathers and zadorses it by
allowing the article space in the editorial
column. We think the Gazette came
very near to the mark last week when it
styled this man Hamilton as being “the
old Hypocrite.” This is simply an in.
stance of his make up ; one of the small
things by which it is best to judge a man
correctly.
But John Hamilton and John C. Miller
are not the issues in this campaign. It
is in regard to matters of the highest
import to every thoughtful citizen—it is

MoNDAY was a very bad day for the
Quay machine gang in Philadelphia—
the supreme court declared the tax

Sulzberger rendered a decision which |
will knock off many thousands of names
from the padded registry lists; and David
Martin announced that he will support
Rothermel for district attorney. Besides
Judge Simonton’s ruling in the Coray
case was such as to leave room for the
Democratic State Central Committee to
put Coray’s name on the ticket for State
Treasurer.
