Er-jivse Brother boiith of the Meyers
dale Gjfl.wiV, who is a veteran siMier,
Fpt.ke of Mr. Scull as the Soldiers'
Friend, the Tenderloin Bosses become
hysterical. There is not a soldier, among
the many hundreds in this di-itri -t who
Lave applied to Mr. Scuil for attention
to their pension or theirclaicn bat will
testifv that prompt and efficient aid was
given them, and we submit that this
kind of eer ice is quite aa valuable to the
Bjldiers as parading at the head of their
coliaias 1th a candy csne on memorial
occasions.
When- Captain Hanison was, as lie
Biyg, consulting old politicians, be inight
have learned hid he wished to, that it is
not unprecedented nor has it been held
a political criaie, for Member of Con
gress from this district to be candidates
for more than two terms. The late Gen
eral Campbell, Mr. Scull immediate
predecessor, was siren five consecutive
nominations in this dittrict, an 1 was a
candidate for nomination the sixth tin;e,
and Wm. II. Koontz, Ki , who was
t ice elected, afterwards was a candidate
for yt-ira, securing nominations in this
C junty, but failing to be nominated in
the dLsirkt, but, according to the dicta of
our late Tenderloin Efs-.s, it i? an ' ex
hibition of arrosant audacity" for a Scull
to ask what was freely granted to hi
predecessors.
Caitain Charles J. Haeeis..s cives a
personalyard to the public in which he
pronounce the article in last week'
llsRtu alluding to him a "tissue of lies,"
asserts that two years sine, this paper
'"opened its columns upon me because I
wasancpen advocate of I. J. Homr
for Coiv errand submit" the question
of veracify between himself and Chair
man F.ie-et ker to public opinion.
To this we reply briefly, that Mr. Eie -seeker
having con victed the Captain (to
put it mildly ) of misstatement, by means
of his tell-tale telegrams, on the very
matter which he pronounces a tissue of
lieson the jast of tLellLRALn, we deem
it a work of supererogation to farther
point out his departure from truth. Be
sides we are constitutionally averse to
kicking a dead carcas?.
We feel that we owe, and we hereby
tender to ov.t readers an ajKilogy for de
voting so much space this week to so ia
conseq'isntial a gentleman (politically),
as Captain Charles J. Harrison. V. e felt
it our diity however to unmask a pre
tended Republican, who for years has,
r.nder cover, been laboring to disrupt
aad destroy cur organization. All will
bear us witness that thi paper has never
been made the vehicle through which
Mr. Scull's candidacy has been advocat
ed. He has preferred remaining silent
under the abuse tkat has been Leaped
npon him, tri!!icg to the sentiment of
fair play among our pojjle and their
personal knowledge of his political life,
rather than make the IIkkald Lis per
sonal orran. We Lope we thai! have no
further occasion to deviate from this ruio.
Captain Charles J. IIari:ii has, for
some time pa.-t, been making himself
politically, very numerous. It is true,
he has pursued the tactics cf a Bush
whacker, but occasionally, where the
Lui-hes were thin, you caught a glimpse
of the concealed warrior and Lis corpo
ral's guard of followers. We have never
thought the game worth the candle, but
lately concluded that, in duty to party,
the time La 1 come to shell the brave
Captain out of the bushes.
In October last, a manifesto was issued
by certain self-styled Republicans in the
City of Philadelphia against Senator
tjuay proclaiming a-xwug other thing?,
that an organism!;. n was being perfected
aiii6t Li reelection throughout the
Slate, and that letters had been received
from prominent ger.tlc-ir.en ia intc-iior
counties (a li.-t of whgm was given, w ho
were in active sympathy with the move
ment., and among those was, "Charles J.
Harrison, I'resident of the Somerset
County National Bank."
Having thus a'.iie 1 himself with the
big, kid glove, silk-stccking, selfconiti
tnted dictator of the City, the Captain,
we suppose, thought be would add to his
laurels and the lustre of his fame by tak
ing Congressman Scull's scalp, and thus
prove his prowess as a leading politician.
By the way, the Captain among his oth
er possets-ions has acquired a newspaper
orfc-an, and of course, this w as "sick d"'
upon -Boss Scull." Everything that
went wrong with hU plans everything
mean and despicable in politics, and ev
erything that could be conjured up, sup
posedly offensive to his fellow citizens,
was charged upon Mr. Scull. The Coun
ty was raked for a candidate to oppose
Lim and failing to secure one, an attempt
was made, in defiance of the rules of the
party, to have J. D. Hi ks, Esq., of A!
toona, officially announced as a candi
date st our primary election. Failing in
this, through Lis oran, he ravenously
sssailed Loth the Chairman of the Coun
ty Committee and Mr. Scull. Ia his
ura'.h, he forgrt the soldierly quality of
truthfulness, and made statements and
insinuations both untrue and unmanly.
H was insinuate-! that "Mr. Kooser's re
cent defeat" was accomplished Ly Mr.
Scull, hen in truth and in fct Mr.
Kocser was not defeated, but voluntarily
w ithdrew from the c&Ltest.and Le kuoa t
end Las r pcateuly said that Mr. Scull
w as openly and Lone stly for Lim, and
made ao concealment of lis position.
Scores of gxd men and true can attest
this a' so. Again it was a?tteJ that Mr.
Hicks, in a speech made in Blair Co.
said that '-Scull declared in 1S',0 that
Le would not agin be a candidate, and
Le and Lis friends would support Clair
County's choice this year." Mr. Hick
did not make that assertion, nor could
Le truthfully co eo. There are too many
living itnessts (three of them ia this
toc'i who know all that occurred at the
time of Mr. Scull's last nomination, and
that as Mr. Hicks persistently autagonix
d him te the last, he owed Lira nothing
nd made no six-h promis. When our
f iend, the gallant Captain, instead; of
'-feeking the bauble reputation at the
cannon's mouth," strives for it in the
public prints, Le should be more careful
of his statements cold type is a heartless
detective.
In conclusion let us innir who is
Captain Charles J. Harrison, and whence
his right to speak for the Republicans of
Somerset Coucty, to select for them their
candidates, and to turn down United
State Senators and Congressmen at hi
tweet will? An importation from Mary
land, be has been in thi County long
enough to have learned that this people
will Eot brook the Loruly ways cf the
Southern task master. Moreover it i
doubtful if he Las voted a straight Re
publican ticket for years. lie is a stirrer
up of strife in party ranks, a kicker and
disorganizer, who participates in prima'
rr elections at which he has, according to
party rule, no right to rote, and then
cuts the ticket because he cannot boss it.
His hostility to Mr. Scull is personal, he
can find no Saw in his political record,
but his steady outspoken unwavering
Republicanism is a standing reproach to
his (Harrison') vacillating political
coutse, hence bis venom. But some peo
ple would rather rule in Hell than serve
in Heaven, and we fear rts, our "sweet
fellow citizen" i o constituted (politic
ally).
Thece never was, in the political his
tory of the County, a more desperate and
lying attempt to mislead and pervert
public sentiment. Misrepresentation af
ter misrepresentation tread so swift! on
each other's heels that it would take the
fven-league boots, of the old story, to
overtake them. Much ado is attempted
to be made over the Chairman' refusal,
in the face of the rules, to officially an
nounce Mr. Hicks as a candidate, and
precedents are quoted as in the case of
General Campbell, D. J. Moetoller and
Judge Hall to convict the Chairman of
an outrage on Mr. Hicks. This only
shows the danger of an ignoramus rush
ing into pririt, ond proves the truthful
ness ot the declaration that "fools rush
in w here ar.gels fear to tread."
At the time the above named gentle
men w ere announced, the present rules
were not in existence, any person could
have his name announced by paying the
printer, as he can now if he pleases, and
it will be found on examination that
Ju.l,.-e Hall was announced through, a
note from Mr. Isaac Kauffman. It waa
becau- of thi loose method, which w at
sometimes Uken advantage of by sharp T
politicians, to announce candidates in
precincts they could not carry, to save
them from falling into the hands of for
midable rivals, that the present rule re
garding official announcements through
the Chairman, w as adopted. Mr. Hicks,
or even any kicker or mugwump, can be
announced as a candidate te-day or at
any time in anv paper in thi County by
paying the U3ual price for advertising
cards, but in official announcement the
Chairman is restricted by the ruie, which
Mr. Hicks, after seeing it, gracefully ac
quiesces in. It it either sodden dumb
ness or downright rascality that would
so attempt to mislead the public, or to
sacrifice Mr. Hicks by attempting to mis
lead and misinform hiin.
There have been a number of Demo
cratic Congressmen preaching Louest
money in Rhode Island the past week
w ho voted for the Bland Li'.L But this
only illustrates Congressmen are looking
for the oflices end not for principles.
They are like thegiri who was willing to
teach that the earth is round or flat, juit
as the school diectors desired.
Look upon this picture, and then upen

TRUTH AND WISDOM.
Editor Smith Endorses Chairman
Elesecker's Position.
Fmm the Meyenilale Coiuineniil
The address Chairman Biesccker isfUti
above was rendered necessary by the attempt
to force the candidacy of aspirant for Con
gressional honors, J. V. Hicks, of Blair
county, ;n the Somerset county Primaries.
It wis further rendered necessary by the
flooding of the county with the late iteue ef
the Somerset Standard, which contains a
statement of the occurrence at Chairman
Eieseckeraoitice on Saturday cijrht, 10, the
last day candidates could oiler for the nom
ination, which statement diflors widely from
that above given. We do not intend to dis
catu that evt.L There is a question of fact
that testa between Captain Harrison and
Chairman Biesecker alone and that is theirs
ouiy to settle. With that the party at large
Lis nothing to dj and it does not propose to
be impertinent, by meddling into jrivate af
fairs. But villi his refusal to accept the card cf
the citir-en of another county fur nomination
in this county, the party has all, everything,
to do and it most emphatically indorses the
saud Chairman Biescker Las taken. The
Rules of the Party were drawn by chosen
ih'leates and adopted at the Primaries by
the Republicans of the entire county. They
il:Lr- r in form and method fruui those of the
Republicans of Bedford, Blair and Cambria
ilhe other couLlies in the district) radically
and essentially. They were inaie by the
Republicans of Somerset county for their
own guidance and their omn party law.
Cnder them any Republican who has a
borne and a vote in the county can offer for
office, under certain conditions, and no one
dare say him nay. But tbey were not made
for residents of another county, for non-residents,
be the ottiee what it may. Carry
this idea further. Suppose that Somerset
county Republicans felt like rewarding a
faithful official in Blair, aid made up their
minds to have no candidate to oppose him.
Suppose again that Bedford county had an
aspirant lor the same offioe, who could con
trol his own county, but whom our people
abhorred ; bow this Bedford county man
could, under the wide latitude such a prece
dent would establish, come to this county
at the last hour, announce his name, chouse
his conferee s and vote the county to confer
ence dead against its convictions every bal
lot. This is the precedent Captain Harrison
and the Standard desire to cstablith, but are
the Republicans willing to accept this? We
trow not. We now have a good system, an
honest and a fair one and do not intend to
abandon it
Somerset town can get np a political tem
pest in a teapot on leas material and in a
shorter time than any other snot ia this
Hide country. With the pe:s--ual feeling
that permits this for it is purely personal
not political the Ecpubli cans of the coun
ty do not intend to interfere. The body of
them doubtless regret the intense general
aiii root icy between the few, as we do, but so
long as it is this Kilkenny fiUt tbey but
look on with amused interest When, how
ever, tbey try to let down the political tars
so any cattle can grtxe in their own rich
pasturages, then they cry halt. For this
reason they heartily indorse the stand
Chairman Biesecker has taken, for it is the
only legal and just stand possible nnder the
circumstances, and it has made Lim immeas
urably stronger with Republicans for not
proving recreant to his bhjh trust when dan
ger threatened.

Comrade Hlcke Notifies Col. Dan
and Captain Charles that he Is
Neither a Disorganizer nor a
Kicker.
To the Republican rtAertof S-immti County:
I last week announced that Rule 20 of
the "Rules governing the holding of Re
publican Primary elections in Somerset
County" prohibited my oflicially an
nouncing J. P. Hicks, Esq., of A 1 toona,
ss a candidate for Congress in this Coun
ty at our coming primary election. My
interpretation of the rule has been
sharply criticised and I have been sub
jected to personal abuse and misrepresen
tations by an element in the party and
yet not of the party.
I now lay before you a letter received
from Mr. Hicks Saturday morning, April
2nd, by which it will Le observed that
as soon as be was made aware of the rule
Le justifies my position and withdraws
Lis name as a candidate at our primary
election.
I submit this letter of Mr. Hicks, who
is a reputable lawyer, as a full justifica
tion of my course, and I deem it unnec
essary in s community w here I was born
and reared to further reply to the mali
cious assaults that Lave been made npon
me.
Very Respectfully,
Fi;EP W. EiKsx-Kr.rt,
Chair. Kep. Co. Com.
Mr. Hicks' Letter.
Altoona, Ta, April 1, 181)2.
F. V. Biesecker, F-sq.,
Chair. Rep. Co. Com.,
Deab Sis: When I authorized the
ne of my name as a . candidate
for Congress in your county 1 was
not aware that vonr rules denied me
or any one in the I intriet that privilege,
but alter having ien notiiiexl that you
Lad decided that I could not be a candi
date under your rules, and having since
seen the rule, I at once wrote to your
County and stated that I could not per
mit my name to he used. My lifelons
devotion to the principles of the Repub
lican party forbid me Wing a candidate
only accurdiiitj to in rttlet ami ttnrjf
and notwithstanding the fact that I be
lieve that tilair County is entitled to the
nomination, and I as Rlair County's
choice should be the nominee, if I can
not receive the nomination in the regu
lar way, I am too good a Republican to
ue either a disorganizer or a kicker. U.i
the contrary 1 will be for the ticket nom
inated. 1 have no personal quarrel or
feeling against Mr. Scull. He has been as
devoted a Republican as myself, and if
he shall be the nominee be wul have no
more hearty supporter in the District
than I will bs. I deem it but just to
nivself as well as to the Republicans ef
Somerset Countv that I should not be
misunderstood in this important matter.
Yon are at liberty to make tbis public if
you choose and 1 might add in conclu
sion that the rules governing the party
in Blair County do not forbid of any gen
tleman residing within the district be
coming a candidate for a District nomi
nation. On the contrary our County de
clared once for Mr. Morrell and more
than once for General Campbell.
Very truly ycurs,
J. D. Hicks.
The above letter was received by Chairman
BieseckerSatnrday morninc, April 2 id. It
will bcobwrved that Mr. Ilicks says "after
having been notified that you had decided
that I could not be a candidate under your
rules, and having since seen the rule, I at
once wrote to your County, and srateJ that I
could not permit my narue to be used."
It will be remembered that C. J. Harrison,
in hi: published statement in regard to what
occurred at Chairman Biesecker's offlce Tues
day evening, March 22, said, ''I will tele
graph Mr. Hicks in the morning to come over
and attend to the matter in person." Mr.
Harrison evidently did "telegraph Mr. Hick
in the morning" but instead of thai gentle
man "coming over and attend ng to the mat
ter in per.on" he at once wrote Captain
Charles J. Harrison the letter referred to in
his letter printed above, in which be stated
that "he could not permit his name to be
used." That this letter was received not later
than Thursday evening, March 3tat, is born
out by the fact that the paper issued that
evening did not contain the announcement
card of Mr. Hicks which it did contain the
week previous, and it was only after "Mr.
Hicks discovered that bis name was still be
ing used by this paper in defiance of his
wishes that he wrote the above letter to
Chairman Biesecker.
Mr. Hicks' telegram in which he said:
"Urge Kooser all you can to run, if he
won't then announce my name,'' or words to
that effect, was promptly made public by
the receiver. Why was not publicity given
to his letter, in which be stated that' he could
not permit his nams to be used," with the
same promptness and alacrity 7 Was it not
because the party receiving it hoped by keep
ing it secret to mislead the Ejpablican vo
ters of the County and deceive them, by mak
ing it appear that the u;e of Mr. Hick's
name was put to was being done with his
knowledge and consent. Was it because Mr.
Hicks was "an ol J s .tidier f.ien I ' that this
shameless duplicity was resorted to in the
belief that he, Mr. Hicks, would condone it
and would not write to Chairman Bieseck
er. Is this the sort of treatment that one
"old comrade" should receive at the hands
of another? We trow not.
If the ancient maxim, "o.-uj ia uno, fa)
tut in omnihitt,'' is not to apply, but the ques
tion of veracity raised by Mr. Harrison is to
be settled, according to bis request, by
length of residence in the county, then the
scales will go quickly down on the Chair
man's side as he has been a resident of the
county for more than thirty years while the
Captain only claims credit for twenty years.
The cold facts in this entire matter boiled
down are these : A few old-time party
wreckers, led by the "Colonel" and "Captain,"
bent npon disorganizing the party because
they could not bo?i it, determined to have a
' candidate of their own" for Congress. Fail
ing to secure a tool suitable for their purpose
in Somerset county, they, by misrepresenta
tion succeed in inducing a gentleman from
Blaircrmnty toleud himself to their use.
When he discovered the use being made of
him by these professed friends he promptly
writes them and ropeststbem to desist. In
spite of the request ol their "comrade" they
persist in their unmanly efforts tid thsy are
called down by their "old Soldier friend,"
in an open letter to Chairman Biesecker.
And thee be honorable men.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
CHILDREN
Are always liable to sudden and severs
colds, to croup, sore throat, lung fever, etc.
Remedies, to be eflecuve, must be admin,
btercd without delay. Nothing Is better
adapted for such emergencies than Ajwr't
( hrrrj lrtrl. It soothes Um inflamed
BKUit-rane, promotes exjeet"rtlon, relieves
coughing, and iiKtuces sleep. The prompt use
o (Jus medicine tuts saved lunumcraMc lives,
both of young aud old.
- erne ot my cUIMren bad croup. The ease
was attended by our phtk-lari. and was sup
posed to be well under couuoL On night
I was startled by the child's hard brestliiag,
and on going to It lound it
Strangling.
It had nearly ceased to breathe. Beallzmg
that the child's alarm in k condition bad be
come possible in spite ot the medicine It had
taken, 1 reasoned that such remedies would
be of no avail. Having a part of a bottle of
Ayefs Cherry Pectoral hi the house, I save
the child three doses, at short Intervals, and
anxiously waited results. From the moment
the Pectoral was given, the child's breathing
(Tew easier, and In a short time it was sleep
ing quietly aDd breathing naturally. The
child is alive and well to-dar. and I do not
hesitate to say that AVer's Cherry foe torsi
saved Its UIe."-C. J. Wooldridge, Wortham,
