Among the astounding steals commit. ted by our officials in Cuba, the follow. ing are recent discoveries: Many of the expenditures shown in the reports trans. mitted to Congress need For instance, under the head of "Public Works, Ports and Harbors." March 2, 1900, J. W. Grace is allowed $1500 ‘for building one inch of railroad at Man zanillo, Cuba.” This entry appears on page 6g, disbursements made by First Lieutenant 8. D. Rockenbach, Tenth Cavalry, disbursing officer. It is hardly likely that the United States built a rall. road one inch long or let a contract for one inch of construction at this fabulous figure, $95,040,000 per mile, but the re. port says so, Ep. McKinLey, of Milesburg, is put. ting up a strong fight for the nomination of commissioner on the republican ticket this coming year. Mr. McKinley was a candidate on the republican ticket re. cently for Prothonotary and claims that if some of the republicans in Beliefonte had not sold him out bodily he would have been elected. Since then the leaders in the party, and they generally direct the result of the convention, have decided that Mr, McKinley shall not be on the ticket this year and that avother shall bave the nomination for County Commissioner, They don't care how small a house he is living lo or, the fact that be is an industrous man who must support a large family, The Gazette has nothing of the kind to tell the people just now, as they want the other fellow nominated. No, they will not print the picture of his humble home at Milesburg because they are not for him this trip; the only way he can get on the ticket is to lick the Bellefonte crowd, the same as when be was nominated for Prothonotary over Phil. Foster, explanation. | | erity to act for himself, AN OPEN LETTER Addressed to Judge Pennypacker— Quay’s Candidate for Governor. Merrick, of Wells- boro, Tioga county, recently addressed an open letter to Judge S Pen- nypacker, candidate for Governor on the Major George W. Samuel W republican ticket, Major Merrick is known throughout the state as a lawyer of exceptional ability, and a staunch advocate of genuine re- publicanism. It without signifi. cance that he was the candidate for Sec- retary of Internal Affairs on the inde- pendent ticket of 1882, of which Judge Pennypacker was one of the most out- spoken supporters. Major Merrick’s open letter is as fol- lows : 15 not Judge Samuel W.

Bat Elkin had the temerity to kick, | the temerity to disobey orders, the tem. the temerity to appeal to the people. That settled his fate. He must be crushed ; and he was crushed. Not by the people--his appeal to them was the unforgiveable offense but by the “great statesman’'’' who took you up for the job. Do you know how it was done ? Eikin says be had a clear majority of all the delegates, and lost them over night by “some mysterious force.” Not at all mysterious ; he knows as well how it was done as he does how he became Attorney General, The same “force” controlled the last State Convention ; the same “force” has corrupted party com: ventions for forty years, since the Cam. erons and the Quays ruled the State ; the longest purse has made the nominations, and the machine bas controlled the purse, Everybody knows what Elkin means when he says he was defrauded of the nomination—nobody better than he, for be has been the machine's long and faith. ful servitor. But, Judge Pennypacker, whatever the fraud was, you are its bene ficiary if you accept the nomination. Elkin says the pomination was stolen from him. Can you afford to accept it? He says some mysterious force induced forty-one delegates instructed and pledg. ed to him to violate their instructions and break their pledges and between two days desert him and go to you.
