The long-drawn-out dead-lock in the lilair-Canibria Senatorial inference was brought to a close Monday even ing at Ib'Ilidaysburg, when Hon. J. C. Stineiuan, of Cambria, was unani mously nominated. The nomination was not made, however, until after the conference passed a resolution instruct ing the nominee to vote for Hon. John Wauamakcr for United States Senator. Probably the best way to gauge the length, breadth and depth of the sound money victory in Maine is to compare it with the vote of previous gubernato rial and presidential years for ex ample: Rep.

If such things can happen as a result of September discussion, what will 1 the Xovemlier verdict? Mich it: ax has good reason for reject ing llryanism, and if Don M. Dickin son, the fonuer Democratic leader in the State, and General Russell Alger, the well-known Republican, are right, the State will give McKinley a large majority. ieueral Alger says business is paralyzed, mills and mines are either closed or closing, and values have s-lirunk a quarter. ''The bare chance f Bryan's election," he says, "has frightened the country." Other States are f-ufiering in the same way. It is safe to say that there is not a worthy workingman out of emyioymeut in the United States to-day who can not trace the cause to the free trade and free sil ver coinage agitation. And l$rj-aii is now the most conspicuous advocate of I hose two heresies. The uuterrified Democracy of New York has swallowed itself and its rec ord, says the Tribune. It did it with out wincing, though it also did it with out enthusiasnL The convention at Iluffalo Thursday adopted a silver plat form and indorsed Bryan and Sewall, and under the direction of Senator Hill nominated for Governor John IJoyd Thaeher, of Albany. He is the same John Boyd Tliacher who, under Sena tor Hill's direction, presided over the State convention at Saratoga last June which sent delegates to Chicago to fight against free silver coinage. His convic tions and moral earnest news are appar ently on a level with those of the mas ter of both the Saratoga and Buffalo conventions, who one month was a pi ld man, the nest a dumb man, and the third the wire-puller of a Bryan ratification meeting. The whole pro ceeding Las leen characterized by a re murk al le fitness of things. The organ ization within three months adopts two )tlatforms of exactly opposite meaning, nominate a candidate for Governor who changes his opinions to suit the platform and is willing to run for office nu any old collection of principles, and then appropriately rounds out its rec ord by accepting as its leading spirit a defaulter who a few years ago went away in disgrace from the town where the convention was held. Jen Chaki.es Grosverxor, the WHiLant Buckeye mathematician, who won a national reputation as a close "figurer" during the preliminary Mc Kinley campaign, aud whose weekly bulletins were anxiously looked for from Maine to California, has again in dulged in his uurivaled estimates.

The following is Chairman Manley's despatch to Chairman 11 anna : The Moit Sweeping and Magnificent Victory Ever Accorded to Any Party in Main. ArovsTA, Me., Sept. 14. Chairman Manley. of the Republican State com mittee, sent the following telegram : M. A. IIanxa, Chairman of the Republi can National Committee, Chicago: The Republican party has aehie veil this day the most sweeping and magiiin-eiit victory ever accorded to any party in the historv of Maine. We have carried every i!ntr in lhi slate: elected every Stale Senator; at least 11 out of l.rl mcmliers of the House of P.epresentives ; seenrea every county oflicer; given each inem lierof our magnificent delegation in the House of Representatives the largest ma jority they ever received; electer our candidate for tkivernor by the greatest majority ever given a candidate for that hicholiice; indorsed the SL Iouis plat form and declared for McKinley aud Hobart bv fifty thousand inajorty. The Republican vote mill exceed by several thousand the largest Republican vote heretofore given, and the vote the Iiemoeratie candidate for Governor re ceived is the smallest Iieinocratio vote cast, with one single exception and that is the vote ot which was only three thousand less. What more could Maine have done for the cause of good govern ment, honest money and protection ? J. II. Maxi.ev, LATER RETI RXS IXCREASK THE MAJOR ITY. Over 82,000 Republican votes, it is es timated, were thrown and about 33.1KI0 Democratic The Republican vote has exceeded anything ever before known in Maine, the nearest approach to it lieing the 711,401 received by Governor Burleigh in lsxs. Estimated on the Congressional vote, which is really th one which should be taken for comparison in this election. the Republican gubernatorial vote having run behind the remainder of the ticket, the Republican plurality will exceed 50, 0(W by a sulistantial numlier of votes, and shows the strength of the anti-silver sen timent to be much stronger than any of the estimates yet put forth. GREAT DEMOCRATIC LOSSES. When the Republu-an vote has increas ed nearly 20 per cent from ISO. an indi- aition that many Democrats must have voted the Republican ticket, the Demo cratic vote fell off 20,000, As there were only about l.OnO votes cast for Clifford by the sound money Democrats, there were undoubtedly from 18,000 to 20.00 Demo crats who refused to go to the poll and vote for Bryan and free silver. The Congressmen are re-elected to Con gress by the largest pluralities ever given to Congressmen in this state. Reed by lO.an, Dingley by 11,500, Milliken by 12, (Urt and Boutelle by 11,500. The Republicans carry every county solidly, electing ever county officer, a performau-e never duplicated by any political party in Maine, Knox county which has always held out the longes has fallen liefore the sweep of public sen timent, and not a solitary Democratic officer is elected. Returns have lieen re ceived sufficiently to make it certain that the Democrats will have not more than five representatives in the Legislature, which ia the same number as in lsVL POPCLIST VOTE (TT IX TWO. Under the management of Bateman, the Populist candidate for governor, his vote is .cut down one-half from 1N4, when it was .2s'. He attributes the weak showing made by the Democrats t-.Sewall's name on the tiekct. The talk about resignation is again revived, and the Populists will bring strong pressure to Iwar to for'-c Sewall tiff, using the l ig Republican ma jority in Maine as a lever against him. The Silveriies are cr'-st fallen and dis heartened over Maine's magnificent dec laration iu fiior of ht.-iiesl money, pro tection and law and order, and their as surance of Republican losses in Maine which they flaunted so boldly last week, is all gone. There is, indeed, very little real attempt made on the part of the Bryan leaders to minimize the signifi cance of the Maine tidal wave. THE OOI.D DEMOCRATS. A pleasing feature of the election is the distinction which the Republicans are giving the gold Democrats whose love of country was stronger than party ties. The right band of fellowship is being ex tended to them generously. The Republicans of Augusta further celebrated the victory Tuesday night. The McKinley Guards with their liand paraded the streets, carrying torches. Fireworks blazed all along the line while the streets were crowded with peo ple who shouted and cheered. The Bath Republicans are planning for a great celebration. Yonr Wont Enemy Writhing With the rheumatism is an individual whom, if you have a Christian spirit, you would forgive.

The Citizens of Somerset County Call and Listen to One of Best Speeches Ever A STRONG PLEA FOR THE RETURN The Delegation Contained One-Third of the Republican Voters of the County. It was a Representative Body of Farmers and Laboring Men. Senator Critchfield the Spokesman. When the "Frosty Sons of Thunder" had crowded into Major McKinley's front yard, the next President of the United States appeared upon the veranda, accom panied by Senator N. B. 'Critchfield, who acted as spokesman for the visitors. After the applause sulsidd Senator Critchfield mounted a chair and spoke as follows: Major Mr Kixley: I have leen asked by this delegation, with which I have come, from Somerset County. Pennsylvania, to express to you in a few words our confidence not only in you personally but also in the principles you represent. The county from which we come is a purely agricultural county more so per haps than most counties of the east and so it happens that our delegation is made up almost entirely of farmers, and as such we are interested in whatever relat es to the w elfare of those whose Imsine-s it is to feed the world. We know no man in whom we can rexso more confidence thau yours It We have noti.-ed wilu satisfaction your public; career and we believe that you have always proved true to every trust committed to you by your own district and state, and we are satis fied that when you are called to occupy the most responsible place in the nation, as you surely will le, the interests of the whole American people will be no less sacred to you than have been the inter ests of the 4,000,000 inhabitants of your own Commonwealth. We are not politicians. This I think may generally be affirmed of farmers; and yet we give a good deal of careful thought to questions that interest us, and in our opinion there has never been a time In the history of this nation when so much depended upon the action of the people at a general election as depends upon the action that will be taken on the third day of November next. It is not simply a question of who shall lie President of this great republic dur ing the fiHir years that shall follow; but the question to lie settled is w bether the depression that during the last three years has brought desolation and suffer ing into many once happy homes shall continue or whether the burden that op presses our people shall be lifted aud the light of other days le made to shine in places where now there is only darkness. In the correct settlement of this question there is no class of our citizens more deeply interested than the farmers of our land. In recent years a chain of circum stances that have leen transpiring in other lands have combined to make our profits small enough without their being further diminished by any sort of mis management at home. The opening of the Suez canal, the construction of the great Siberian railway, the employment of F.uropean capital in the cultivation ot large areas of most fertile lands in South America, Australia and South Africa have almost destroyed the foreign mar ket of the American farmer. It is useless for us to attempt to compete in the mar kets of the world with agricultural pro ducts grown in countries where the soil is naturally as rich as our own, where a mild climate makes cheap living possi ble, where the people dwell in rnde huts and cabins, where labor can lie employed as in India, at 10 cents per day, where men go to their work almost destitute of clothing and where a lady's entire ward robe can be fitted up for less money than the average American farmer's wife or daughter needs to make a single sleeve. Where then shall we look for relief? Sir, there is no man in all this broad land who understands this problem better than yourself, who has given to it more careful study and who has done more to reach a correct solution of the problem. While the men who are working in our mills and factories are looking to you as the champion of their interests, we whose business it is to furnish them their daily bread realize that w hile you are helping them you are also heluing us. When you protect the labor ot the coun try so that it may be fairly paid, you are providing a market for us without which we shall receive a small return for the use of the money Invented in our farms and the lalxir we employ in their cultiva tion. But, sir, we have other reasons for de siring that the policy of protection, of which you are to-day regarded as the champion, shall prevail. Though we may be selfish in our desire that our home market for the products of our farms shall lie preserved, we are not self ish in our patriotism, and we yield to bo class of men in our devotion to our en try. Those of us who took part in the late civil war remember that when count ing our chances for success as we sat around our camn area we always consid ered thai one important element of our strength existed in the fact that we were ijot dependent upon any other nation for our supplies of tents and clothing and muuilions of war, that the North was the j MAINTENANCE OF A SOUND CURRENCY AND A TO THE PROTECTIVE HON. WILLIAM M'KINLEY. manufacturing section of the country, that every thing we needed for the suc cessful conduct of the war could lie pro vided at home, while the states that were in rebellion had but few manufactories of any kind and were therefore to a great degree dependent upon other countrie for their supplies, the securing which de pended largely upon the strength of the blockade that was thrown around their ports. We do not wish to see this land we l-ve so well reduced to such a condi tion of dependence by breaking dow n her manufactories as shall in any degree lessen her ability to defend herself against the world. The governments of the old world, governments less free than our own, that are jealous of our lib erty and the strength we have to main tain it, would no doubt be glad to see our protective policy overthrown, if for no other reason, simply because it would be like cutting off the locks of Samson, the Nazarite, we should be shorn of ovr strength and rendered less capable of taking care of ourselves and exterifVrig a protecting hand to our weaker sister rc publiirs of the American continent. But I must not continue these remarks. We know that all these things nro lsIter kn xvn to you than they are t) rs. aud yet as we come here to assure you of our confidence and support we consider that it is not amiss to let you know how the situation appears when regarded from our point of view. There is just one thing more that I want to say, and that is, that the farmers of the country are more deeply concerned iu good money than any other class of our citizens. By far the largest propor tion of the money that is employed in the lHisinewi operations of the country is paid for lalnr, aud from the wage earners of the laud the largest proportion in the end comes to us to pay for the products of our farms. Not only must the wage earner oome to us for the means of sub sistence, hut all other classes are subject to the same dependence. Who then can lie more interested iu keeping the money of the con u try good than we are? We want a dollar that will lose none of its value in our hands, a dollar that will be just as good w hen we come to pay it out as when we receive it. We want a dollar that can lie exchanged for any other dol lar at any time or in any place that we may want to use it. Those of ns who are unfortunate enough to be paying in terest know that Just as certainly as the value of the dollar decreases, so the rate of interest will increase. This is a plain , business axiom, one of the unchangeable ' laws of trade. We don't take advantage! of our farm horses by feeding them the ! lightest oats and then expect them to do full work; but, if by chance, or by reason of an unfavorable season the oats should be light we make amends as best we can by increasing the measure of the feed even though it may be an extra tax upon the horse In the time it takes to eat and digest the greater bulk of food. But for the best results we want oats of full w eight So when we come to market our products we want to be paid in money of full value, money upon which there can be no discount but that will pass at its face value whenever and wherever we may want to use it. Again let me assure you that so far as the farmers of Somerset county, Pennsyl vania, are concerned and I think I might safely say the farmers of the entire State, you have their support not only because you stand for these principles, but lie cause they have confidence in your integ rity and ability to direct as well as in your fidelity to the principles you rep resent. major m'ki.nley's speech. "Senator Critchfield, and my Fellow Citizens : It gives me sincere pleasure to meet my friends and fellow citizens of Somerset county, Pennsylvania, in my state, my city and my home. You have traveled more than two hundred and fifty miles to bring to me assurance of your confidence and of your purpose to give the Republican party and its glorious principles yonr united and hearty sup port, (Great applause.) It is difficult to appreciate until the fact is known what this great audience coining from a sister state represents. You have here in this assemblage one-fourth of the voting pop u lat ion of the Repu bl ican party and one fifth of the entire voting population of the county. (Applause.) It means, my coun try men, not that you are interested in me personally, but that you have a deep and ever abiding interest in your country and your country's honor. (Great cheering and cries of "Interest in McKinley.") It means, too, that you are deeply interested iu the rightful settlement of the great na tional questions which divide us, and which are to be settled by your votes and those of your countrymen next Novtm ber. (Applause.) I am especially glad to welcome the citizens of Somerset county to my home ' on Maj. McKinley the Delivered. TARIFF. (Applause,) I mall that in the years of the past I have visited your mountainous homes and enjoyed more than once your generous hospitality, and I trust the fu ture will permit me again to visit that delightful spot and renew our former friendly relations. "Your spokesman says the people of your county are devoted to fanning. JxKikingover this vast audience and re membering how far you are from home, I should think you were devoted to Re publican politics. (Tremendous cheer ing.) I do not retail a time since the days of the civil war that there has been so much solicitude for the rightful out come of a national election as this year. All the people are reading and studying and informing themselves in a larger de gree than ever before. Popular inquiry was never so great and popular interest wis never so profound. It is gratifying, too, that the masses of our countrymen are seeking the right for the sake of the right, that they may pursue the right. They want to know only w hat is best for the country, what will truly promote their own w elfare, anil secure the grand est results for thoir common gixid. (Ap plause.) "The political situation of the country is peculiar. We have had few parallels to our present political conditions. We have but one political party which is uni ted, and that is ours. (Applause.) Dis cord reigns in all others. Our time-honored opponent, the Democratic party, is torn and divided. Two national conven tions have been held by it and two na tional tickets presented, and their plat forms are totally different on every sub ject and iu almost every section. The Populist party has merged its organiza tion into that of the Chicago Democratic and St. Louis silver organizations, and their allies are for the most part harmoni ous except that each one has a distinct and different candidate for vice-president. (Great laughter and applause. ) "Happily the Republican party was never more closely united than now, both in fact and in spirit, and there were never better reasons for such union, and never greater necessity for it than now. (Cheers and cries of 'That's right.") It is wed ded, devotedly wedded, to party princi ples. It stands, as it has always stood, for an American protective tariff which j shall raise money enough to conduct the several departments of the government, including .lilieral pensions to the Union soldiers. (Tremendous cheering and hur rahs for McKinley.) A tariff that will stop debts aud deficiencies and make the treasury of the United States once more safe and sound in every particular. (Ap plause,) It stands for a reciprocity that seeks out the markets of the world for our surplus agrlctiltunal and manufactu ring products without surrendering a sin gle day's wages that belongs to the Amer ican workman. (Applause.) It believes in preserving a home market for the Am erican farmer, (applause) in the opening of the American factory for the American workingman, (applause) and the opening up of a foreign market wherever that can be done with profit to all the. great inter ests of the United Slates. "It is, too, for sound money, (great cheering) every dollar worth one hun dred cents, (renewed cheering) every dol lar as good as gold, (continued cheering) and it is opposed alike to the free and un limited coinage of silver, and the issu ance of irredeemable paper money to which the allied party seemed firmly committed. (Great applause.) It has al ways kept silver at a parity with goid. It proposes to keep that silver money in cir culation and preserve, side by side, gold and silver and paper each equal to the other, and each the equal of the best, and the best never to be inferior to the best money known to the commercial nations of the world.' (Loud cheering.) It will continue to favor a policy that will give work to American citizens, (applause) markets to American farmers, (cries of "That's what we want,") and sound money to both. (Tremendous cheering and cries of "Hurrah for McKinley.") We are now convinced, after three years of experience, whatever may have been our political relations in the past, of the truth of the olwervation of Webster, made more than half a century ago. You will recall that he said : That is the truest American policy which shall most use fu.ly employ American capital and Am erican labor and best sustain the whole American population.' (Great applause.) "Agriculture, commerce, and manufac tures will prosper together or fail togeth er. Equally true also were the words of John Quiocy Adams, That the great in terests of this agricultural, mining and manufacturing nation are so linked in unison that no permanent cause of piow perity to one of them can operate with out extending iu influence to the other. (Applause.) We can not have commer cial growth and expansion without na- ! .I , , a .. I "We can not have uuiiuurcial prosper iionai auu n.uiVKiUal honor. lty withont the strictest Integrity both of government and citizen. (Renewed ap plause and cries of 'That's right") The fiuancial honor of this government la of too vast importance, is entirely too sacred to be the football of politics. (Great ap plause and cries of "Good, good." ) The Republican party has maintained it and is pledged to maintain it It has more than once stood between good faith and dishonor, aud when it gave up the con trol of the government our national honor had never before beon so high and un questioned. (Applause.) The Republican party is pledged to maintain the credit of the government, w hich is intimately asso ciated with its spotless name and honor; and this it will do under any circumstan ces and at any cost. (Great cheering.) "It ttxnd the credit of the government in the days of the war to its utmost ten sion to preserve the government itself, which, under God, it was happily enabled to do. Following that mighty struggle it lifted our credit higher than it had ever been before and made it equal to that of the oldest and wealthiest nations, of the world. (Applause and cries of 'That's right") It is pledged to maintain unoor rupted the currency of the country of whatever form or kind that has been used by national authority. It mado the old greenback as good as gr id, and has kept it as good as gold ever since. It has main tained every form of American money, whether silver or paper, equal to gold, and it will not take any backward step. (Great applause and cries of "Good, good.") No party ever w ent out of power which left so magnificent a record as the Republican party. (Cries of 'That's right") Our great war del 4 was more than two-thirds paid off, our currency un questioned, our credit untarnished, the honor of the Union unsullied, the coun try in its material conditions stronger than it had ever been before ; the work ingmen better employed and lietter paid than ever before, with prosperity in every part of the republic, and in no part an idle workingman who wanted to work. (Tremendous applause.) "Consider, my fellow citizens, the ad vancement we made between 1 and IS, and during those years we neither had free trado nor free silver. (Great laughter and cries of "tiood, good." ) The marvelous progress of the country be tween lsso and l.SOO is worthy the study of all American citizens. It is the best ansa er to the oft-repeated but fallacious statement that the country has lieen suf fering from the effect of the act of 173, which stopped the free coinage of silver. It is an unanswerable argument for the restoration of a protective tariff and the maintenance of sound money. (Ap plause. ) "In isSO the capital invested in manu facturing in seventy-five of the leading cities of the United States was f I,232,K:!.i, 770. In IK0 it had reached the enormous sum of f2,90o,7;J5,M. Iu 18K0 the number of employes was l,.)l,ss; in 1890 2,251,1-H. In lssu the wages earned were $50l,!,779; ia 180 $1,221, 170, or an increase of more than 120 per cent (Great applause and cries of "Good, good.") We were then on a gold basis and had a protective tariff. (.Enthusiastic cheering, aud cries of "that's good enough for anybody.") In IS-) the value of the product was f- 711,579,809; in 1(0 f,.Vi0.28(l,SS7. The mining interests of the country produced ,2i,0i,000 worth of products in 18sn, and J-rOuo.OOO in 1S.W. In lssu we had ftt,0u0 miles of railroad ; in ISO lC7,7ia gain of over 7-1,000 miles, or nearly 80 per cent. The deposits in savings banks were in iss) $sii(0u0,0( and in lst-0 ?l,Vi0,00O,O00. Those figures can not be matched by any government in the world. (Great cheer ing.) During these years of wonderful growth and phenomenal advancement unrivaled anywhere, our curreucy was on a gold basis and our revenue legisla tion was based on the protective princi ple. In 18S0 the farm values of the United States amounted to 12, 101,000,01 andinlsitl to I5,!i2,00O,000. (Applause.) In every department of human activity there was a steady gain and an increased and most remarkable prosperity. "What a tribute to American progress ! What a marvelous achievement accom plished iu a single decade by the labor, the skill, and the enterprise of the Amer ican people!" All this was secured under the present financial system, which we are asked to surrender, aud all this was under a wise industrial policy which was surrendered in 1S.C (Cries of "the peo ple were badly fooled.") The duty of the people oi this couutry is to preserve the oae ana restore the other. (Great applause aud cries of "Maine has done it and me rest will iu November.") May a kind Providence which has nev er torsaken a chosen people guide us in this perilous time iu the pathway of duty aud honor. (Cries of . "Amen, ameu.") 1 thank you lor this call aud it will give me great pleasure to shake hands with every one of you if that be your wish." (Great cheering. ) MARKIED.
