The ladies promenaded the town from one end to the other, favoring the people with some of their fine solos and quartets, This perfor. mance was followed by a serenadiog party, composed of two drummers, two brass horn players, one sleigh bell ging- ler, and a number of screechers. course the music was fine, By observation we have noticed some of our high school boys indulge In the mse of tobacco on or near the school ‘few davs ago | hitched count, ground.

The Rebersburg dram corps and mena- gerie, after serenading Mr. Meyer and wife, lately married, came to our town, paraded our streets from east to west and returned, giving some of their selec tions. Of coarse we enjoved it, although we did not know a direct cause for it. We do not know whether they did it be. cause we still retain the name “‘Smuli- ton" or because “Brook Gap'’ has ceased to exist. Very well done boys, anyhow For Recorder, J. C. Rowe, of Philips burg, is on the democratic ticket. He is a gentieman beid in high esteem in his own town and in all that section of the county. [Ino his travels over the county he has made hosts of friends by his peasing manner. His qualifications for the Recordership are all up to the full requirements of the office. His obliging disposition is proverbiai among the peo ple of his home community. Give Mr. Rowe your vote next Tuesday, he fully | merits your support ; he is a gentieman | who has made his living by the labor of his hands, always indastriously applied. " QUAY made a speech in Pittsburg last week, alter working on it for six weeks, the main point in it being that he denied | being corrupt, that it’s not true he wes a briber, and not true that be used the public fands corruptly. Of course, the guilty all fall back on denials. We will prove Quay guilty by his own action, viz: When be was prosecuted by the Union republicans for these felonies, why did he plead the limitation act, if be was funocent? By pleading the limitation, to which no innocent, honest man re. sorts, he prevented the prosecution from bringing the evidence of his guilt before There you have it, Mr, Boss, IT appears that some of the pretended grange leaders are traveling in the in* terest of the Quay machine to operate against the democratic ticket. These fellows have done that kind of work be- fore, Don’t be deceived by them. Be on your guard, grangers, against hired emissaries that may belong to your or. der, and will sell you ont, A Goon honest republican made the remark while discussing the merits of the several candidates for the legislature that Strohm was a “dough” man; he evidently knows the man and did not think him the proper kind to send to the legislature, What say you honest voters ? ConsuLy your local committeeman and help him to get all democratic voters to the polls. have been humbugged long i Lincoln A REPUBICAN VOICE. Mi. EpiTor :—You will no doubt be surprised at a republican asking for space in the columns of your paper to express his views on the political situa: tion in our county. During the last two years we had a paper that declared for the good, honest principles of the repub- lican party, and fearlessly denounced the machine and the corrupt gang that infested our last legis'ature, It advo- cated the election of men that were free from the alliances of the corrupt ring. It endorsed the action of the convention of the party when it censured and com- | demned J. K. Thompson for his course in the legisiatrue in voting for all the | corrupt measures brought before that | body, What do we find today? That same paper is high in its praise of the bitterly condemned a year ago. The headed the procession for clean and honest legislation are now heading the | gang that represents the corrupt ma. chine; are these not facts, and are they | not sufficient to shatter the confidence of all houest republicans of ridding the party of these looters, and bribers? Honest voters of Centre county, is it pot | high time that we place our sea! of con- demuoation upon such methods, by elect- ing wen for governor, state senate and Legislature that have made pledges, if elected to oppose and right these Wrongs ~men who are not.afraid to tell the voters what they stand for ? How can the honest voters of our party in Pennsvalley support and vote for Schoonover and Strohm for legislature ? “he candidate from our valley, Mr. Strobhm, we well know, is canvassing the county asking the support of honest peo- ple who, be knows denounce these core rupt methods. He is too cowardly to tell where he stands, but he cavpot de- ceive us, for the very fact that he was willing to be a tool in their hands to de. prive us of a representative whom all honest people, without regard to party, delight to honor, shows conclusively that he is a creature of the machine and was placed there knowing that he could be counted on when needed I have been a life long republican, and regret that the party of honest Abe or rather the leaders of the party) bave so wandered away, that they will permit the party to be ruled by a corrupt boss. Oar state cannot long endure this frand and I verily believe that the good people of our state have made vp their minds that it must stop Voters of Centre county, join the ranks and help overthrow tle corrupt gavg that is robbing the state, you will be noue the less a republican for doing so PENNSYALLEY REPUBLICAN ——————————— Good Meeting. The democratic mass meeting, in the Court house, on last Thursday evening, | ! drew a full house, The Zion and Cole. ville and State College bands were pre- seat. J. C. Mever, chairman of Commit. tee, called the meeting to order, and chairman, The chairman, after a belief address, introduced Mr. Gillian, of Chambers burg, who was followed by that able democratic war-borse, J. C. Stravahan, of Harrisburg, both delivered able and telling addresses upon state issues, which | left a deep impression upon all, includ. ing republicans present. Mr. Hibner, the democratic nominee for Congress, was then introduced and spoke for half an hour with forcible remarks upon the congressional campaign, - ROOSEVELT is advising the curbing of i Trusts by a constitutional amendment, and a revision of the tariff by a commis. sion. By constiiutional amendment it will take seven years, long after be is out of office, to bridle the Trusts: and by a Commission to revise the tariff fit. will take almost as Jong. As this is an ad- mission that both the Trust and the tariff are wiong and injurious to the public, the President 1s simply shooting at them at long range with a short range gun 80 as to have his bullets fall short. If he is sincere let him insist upon congress revising the tratff at once, and a few weeks will do the job. Besides, what have we a congress for if a commission is to do the tariff work ? Tur republicens who are defending the Trusts—not all do it—allege that the tariff of 67 cents per ton on anthracite coal was smuggled into the Dingley bill at the time it was passed. This is shown to be false by the Congressional Record, which contains the proceedings and the debate on this proposition to impose a coal tariff of 67 cents per ton on the peo- ple for the benefit of the coal trust. The bill was passed by every yea being a republican, and every nay a democrat. See the Congressional Record, for June 30, 1897, pages 2144 to 2151. The repube liean leaders and organs that are mak- log this assertion know that they are falsifying to dodge one of thelr many iniquities, I? about five democrats in every dis- trict in the county remain at home next Tuesday, it will be enough to defeat por- tions of the county ticket—we need every vole, Jie Stroum and Abraham Miller have the same disease, a mania for hold. ing office. Some fellows want to be in office continually, Henny LownV is not a poor man, when he owns a big farm in Benner twp. and a fine howe in Bellefonte.
