Jennings Bryan paid his compliments to Grover indicates that he is by no means a dead duck In his state they are begging him to be a candidate for the Governorship. | In the South and West he is an influen. | tial factor with whom politicians must reckon. ER Ir we can jadge from current reports, | sentiment prevails at Washington for the | immediate and speedy construction of an | isthmian canal over the Panama route. | Tke question has been thoroughly dis cussed; decisive action seems assured The building of the canal will mean much to shipping interests as it will af ford an easy oceans. The Clearfield Democratic county con- vention assembled Tuesday and made the following nominations : Assembly, | Dr. F. B. Read, Osceola, and G. W. Bell, Greenwood; County Treasurer, Blake W. McCracken, Mahaffey; County Com- | missioner, T. N. Crick, Dubois, and B. Wilbelm, Cooper, D. B. Hibver, of Du- | bois, was indorsed for Congress and Senator W. C. Heinle, of Centre county, | for State Senate; J. B. McGarth was re- elected County Chairman. - CLEMENT DALE is at a loss to under. stand the meaning of the candidacy of Dr. J. M. Locke, of Bellefonte, in oppo- sition to him for Congress. It had been generally conceded that Mr. Dale, in re- cognition of his long and valuable party service would be accorded this honor without any opposition, but it seems that the political factors in the county are at work against him. Who inspired Dr, lock’s candidacy, at the late hour, is what he is anxious to know has his thinking cap on and is sizing up matters carefully, - LAST week a harmony confab was held in New York City by the Tilden club and it was distinguished by the presence of ex President Grover Cleveland and ex Senator David B. Hill who made notable addresses for the re. organization of the democratic party for the coming national campaign. Their utterances were for a continuance of the warfare for tariff reform, economy in in public expenditures, and against the republican policy of favored special ‘eg- {slation for the benefit of the few at the expense of the public. There was a gen- eral opposition in the trend of their re. marks of anything savoring of Bryanism. On the other hand it is claimed that as both of these gentlemen forsook the party in recent campaigns they are not fit now for leadership and their advice is spurn. ed by the party in the South and West, which claims there is no need to re- organize a party that polled almost sev. en million votes, and that if Hill and Cleveland want to be classed with the party they must come to the party, and pot the party to them. That is correct; good sense. We never believed any in. dividual greater than his party. The Democracy willlsurvive when the names of Cleveland and Hill will be only dry data, of historieal record. Democracy will live because it is founded on eternal principles of liberty and justice; and Clevelands, Hill's, and Bryan's are only incidents in its pathway. ment place the total cost at near $250, 000,000. Citizens of this county who eagerly watch to see whether the price of wheat has advanced a cent or two, others who complain if local taxation advances a fraction of a cent, men who think they can't afford to spend $1 for a paper so that their family can have read. ing matter during the year, men who are exceedingly careful about their ex- penditures, ordinary economical business men who do not believe in any kind of reckless waste or extravagance, should think what two hundred and afty million dollars mean, The population of the United States is over 76 million, there. fore the per capita tax for this war would be over $3 for every man, woman and child. As every voter, or bread | winner, onan average represents a fami- ly of five, it means that he must, by in creased internal tax and tariff duties on the necessaries of life, pay $20 for connection of the two | Mr. Dale | democratic | | the Philippine War.
