BUNCOERS ABROAD : BEWARE !
It Is tho trick of the Bryanizcd De
mocracy this fall to make falso
charges against Republican methods,
ralso a big dust, hlro Republican mal
contents to organize Republican bolts
nnd then coax Individual Republicans
to desert their parly on tho leprcscn
tatlon that "party tics needn't count
for anything In an oft year." Uy this
trick, if it shall work, tho Branltes
will get a foothold for a hopeful light
In national campaigns, and miko Just
so much more troublo for JIoKlnlcy,
tho Repul llcan congress and the causo
of sound rrorey.
You now sec through this trick. Are
ou going to let It work?

Ever since the Chicago Clmblnatlon

Washington avenue, they have done a
tiemendous tiadc. The rival clothing
dealeis In the city of Scianton have
been doing their utmost to keep this
concern fiom coming In the city, know
ing right well that they cannot com
pete with them. At every opportunity
they have been giving this firm a stab
In the back. They are afraid to come
boldly foiward and meet competition
In a fair and square way, so they there
fore employ methods w hlch the right
business man who minds his own
business would not think of employ
ing. The Chicago Combination Cloth

goods, such as other merchants would
have j on believe, but goods of the
tiighest character. All we ask Is a
trial. Come and be convinced. We do
not ask ou to buy unless you nie
