The Home of Lincoln for XcKinley.
Prksikkxt Lincols Cncii.Sotnerset, Pa.
Dkar Sir: Allow me to congratulate
you and your fellow associate of Somer
set county upon your successful excur
sion to Canton, upon the reception ac
corded you and upon the eloquent ad
dress of Senator Critchlield, which
summed up the question of the present
campaign in a few words. And then,
allow me to congratulate you upon the
eloquent reply of our grand leader, the
soldier and the patriot McKiuley. It
would have afforded me the greatest
pleasure to have met your delegation.
Do you ask why I am so much interest
ed in your delegation over all others that
have visited Canton? Pennsylvania is
my native State, aud Somerset county is
the oounty in which I wa born and
grew to manhottd. There my youthful
mind learned the lessons of citizenship a
taught by the Republican party, which I
never forgot, although most of them
were learned before the party came into
National existence. In my early days
the two dominant parties were Demo
cratic and Whig, the former under the
leadership of Judge Black, and the latter
under Charles Ogle, ("Spoony" Ogle).
Although quite young I quite well re
member the campaigus of JHJo-lsfl, and
much of the argument used then for and
against a protective tariff, and in my
mind's eye I can still behold the elo
quent Ogle proclaiming the advantages of
protection to his constituency "The
Frosty Sons of Thunder." Iu latter
years A. J. Ogle, Jr., ably supplied the
place of hi uncle.
My home wa then in Jennertown with
my father, R. U. Conover, llstj., w here I
enjoyed the acquaintance of many of the
leading citizens of the county, and al
though I have long lieen separated from
the scenes of my childhood I hare ever
cherished fond recollection of it and
have been battling for the supremacy of
the grand old party. During the dark
days of the Republic many of your citi
zens stood with me shoulder to shouldor
in defence of the Union, the Constitution
and the free institutions of our country,
and many are still living who share with
me feelings of pride over the honorable
duty we performed. I have always been
proud of the Republican party in the
grand old Keystone State, and I am grat
ified to know that iu my dearly loved old
home the lump of loyalty, patriotism ami
devotion to American institutions still
burns as brightly as it did in day past
when kindled by the pioneer Frosty
Sons of Thunder. I hope that the echo of
your shouts at Cauton will reverberate
from the peaks of the Laurel Hill to the
summit of the Alleghcnies until it shall
awaken the Demoops from their free
silver lethargy to the fact that honest
money and protection are what American
farmer want and it should be in
tone never to lie forgotten.
Permit me, Mr. President, through you
to tender my kindest regard to the Re
publicans of old Somerset, and especially
to those of Jenner township; and in ton
elusion let me assure you that Sangamon
county, Illinois, the home of Abraham
Lincoln, will le found with you 'his fall
iu the Republican column.
Respectfully,
II. J. CoXOVEK.

Tretpaftert Should Heed Them or Suffer
the Conteqnencet.
Jvoiqe persons think that sign boards,
forbidding bunting, fishing, nut gather
ing or trespassing upon private land are
of little account, and tljat they may be
disregarded with impunity. This is a
mistake, a the law makes it an act of
trespass to go upon any premise without
permission from the owner. Even if
there is no sign board, the o'vner is enti
tled to recover actual damages' for such
trespass. When the sign boaru a.-
properly erected any person who tres
passes upon laud so guarded i not only
liable to pay actual damages, but also a
penalty not exceeding twenty-five dol
lars. If, however, the hind owner wish
es to avail himself of the provisions of the
act of Assembly h.e must, therefore,
comply with it requirements. There
must at lea; be one sign, not less than a
foot square, to every 50 acres of land,
stream or poud, which it is intended to
protect. Any person who deface, in
jure or destroy such a aiga board ia
guilty of misdemeanor and liable to a
line of twenty-five dollae.
Two Big Crops.
The potato crop, now being harvested
in this county, promise to be as large if
not larger than last year's output, which
waa the largest in the history of the
county.
Thousands of bushels of apples are
going to waste iu this county for want of
a market. Tbe crop is one of the largest
ever know n. Last season the crop of ap
ple w as confined to certain localities, but
this season there is an abundance of that
wholeome fruit in every district.

from the Alleghenies to the Sierra.
Mr. Eiiitok: Will you grant a small
space in the columns of the II erald for
a short letter from a modest writer ?
Having spent two weeks in renewing
old acquaintances anil reviewing once
familiar scenes in my native county,
Homersot, I turned my back to her beau
tiful hilli and valleys, on July 10th, per
haps for tbe last time, and started on tbe
journey lor my home on the Pacific slope,
in tbe Sa.i Joaquin Valley.
I do not tbtuk I ever realized before
my last visit to my old home how charm
inghose little bill and valley are. The
syeet water, the pure air, how shall I
rget them ? esecially the old cemetrry
leside the historic Jersey Church, iu
Turkeyfoot that sacred spot where rest
the remain of so many hallowed in
memory.
It wa my great pleasure to spend a
half-mouth, after an absence of 20 year,
withold friends and relative there where
I hal spent my childhood days. I also
sentafow day of quiet, peaceful rest
with my old friends and brothers, N. B.
Critchfield aud W. H. Sanner, men
whom your county ha been pleased to
honor.
After leaving Somerset county with all
of its pleasant associations I spent four
delightful days in Fayette county. At
the old church near Mill Run we bad a
Sabbath day reunion of old friends and
christian worker from different parts of
the country a day long to be remember
ed. At Connellsville a little incident of
rather peculiar iuterest occurred. I had
previously spent a few days there behav
ing myself as best I could in such a place.
When I returned lor a few hour's visit a
number of citizens, led by the post master,
concluded to cane me. I left victor, how
ever, carrying with me a gold-headed
walking stick.
A most delightful day was passed in
Pittsburg visiting the Carnegie Library,
Museum and Conservatory, and other
objects of interest in Schenley Park.
From Pittsburg we journeyed to Chicago
and theuce to Milwaukee, having passed
through a most beautiful country. At
Milwaukee we spent four days attending
with some 20. Ooo others the B. Y. P. U. A.
Convention a convention that neither
brush nor pen can describe a conven
tion of young, earnest Baptist workers
from ail part of the I; niled States and
many other nations. Among the remark
able men who made addresses bore was
Alberto J. Diaz, the apostle to the Cu
bans. He i a native Cuban, converted
in New York, where he became a natu
ralized citizen of the I'nited States, and
afterwards returned to Cuba an apostle
of religious as well as civil lilerty ; was
successful in gathering together a Baptist
congregation of 2,700 members the only
protectant church on the Island was ar
rested by the Spauiards and driven from
the Island bocauss of his faithfulness to
the principles of liberty.
From M ilwaukee we journeyed through
Nebraska, a State celebrated iu the past
for its grashopjers, its hot winds aud
it draughts, but this year for its immense
corn fields and Presidential candidates,
Nebraska, notwithstanding its past fail
ures, is one of our best agricultural Slate.
To one traveling across it broad prairie
at this time it appears a real vegetable
paradise.
We left Grand Island, Neb., in the
morning and were soon in Cheyenne, the
capital of Wyoming, onp of the Uocky
Mountain States. Here we saw no great
cornfields or hay stacks a in Nebraska,
but the little curly buffalo grass, very
insignificant in appearance but very nu
tritious and valuable for cattle. In as
cending the Rocky Mountains from the
East one is not aware he js in the moun
tains until be is on top of them. The
summit is 8,0u0 feet high and is marked
lere, on the IT. P. road, by an immense
granite pyramid, erected by the Ames
brothers, of Boston, at an expense of
f7.-),0u0, iu honor of their father.
We now descend rapidly to the West,
reaching Green river at dark. Here we
turn to the Northwest, traveling through
sa?e brush, black ".a rocks and cloud
of dust all night and all of tbe follow ing
day aud night, on the Oregon Short Line,
through Southern Idaho, Eastern Oregon,
DP into the Southeastern corner of Wash
ington. Herp w 9 pjrn p the Southwest,
descend the Columbia, passing through
some grand scenery, and arrive in Port
land, Saturday morning, August 2lnh, a
distance of about 2,0") mile, traveled in
two day and three nights.
'I was surprised to find that Oregon i
one vast volcanic district, covered for the
most part with, sage brush aud pine for
ests. ML Hood is an active volcano 11,
H62 feet high. Not very active, but yet so
much so a to dislodge a mas of ris k
from tbe rim of the crater a few day ago,
seudiug it bounding down iu side dis
lodging masses of snow which came slid
ing down and meeting a party of tourUt
going up, threw a woman into a crevice
00 feet deep, severely bruising and crip
pling her. Oregon has some tine land
near her cities and they ask tine price
for it. She also has more than l.uiO.OOU
acre of public lamls, some of it good, if
one kuow how to find it
leaving Oregon City on a morning
traiu, Sept. 2J. we enjoyed a grand ride
up the' WillamUte Valley Oregon'
finest country and over the rugged Sis
kiyou Mts., across the plains touching
the foot of old Shasta, California's mosi
lofty snow capped mountain, then down
the Sacramento and up the San Joaquin
Valley home. Here I found all well and
temperature 100.

A Farmer Telle How They Are I'Sallying
for Tree Silver."
Fpjm ti.e Johnstow n Trjbuue.
A leading farmer of Conetnaugh town
ship, Somerset county, was in the city to
day. He saw an item in this morning's
Democrat, in which i( was said hundreds
of Republican of (Somerset county will
vote for JJryan and Free Silver, and,
many Jenner-township people were ral
lying about Mr. Ileckuiau, "for mauy
years one of the most prominent Repub
licans jn Somerset county.
. The intelligent farmer laughed and said
he ul J not suppose more ignorance and
untruthlu'ness could be crowded into the
same space. ;-Tn tbe first place," he said,
'Mr. Heck man acea not live in Jenner
township, but in .Tonemaugh. In the
second place, he ha noi been a Republi
can for many years, but ba shifted hi
allegiance about to various parties. In
tbe third place, ha is not rallying any Re
publicans about him. Aod in the fourth
place, I don't think a single Republican
in the county will join the Repudiation
Silver gang, a most of it own member
are ashamed to own tbey belong."
There were several other blunder and
misstatement in the Ieiuocrat's few
lines, tbe gentleman said, but he didn't
deem them worthy of attention.
All these creeping, crawling, stinging
sensations that combine to make tbe
tortures of any itching disease of the skin

Thursday. Colonel Elder live near Lig
unier and wa one of the honored guest
at our County Centennial celebratiou a
year ago, having driven here from hi
home, n the course of hi remarks to
the Westmoreland delegation Major Mc
Kiuley said:
We are especially honored to-day by
(b,e presence among us and here on tbe
porch by my side, of Samuel Elder, of
Ligonjer, Pa., who voted in 12 for Gen
eral Jackson, and has been voting stead
ily ever since for American develop
ment, American advancement aud
American honor. General Jackson dif
fered from tho Chicago Democratic con
vention. He wa in favor of sound mon
ey and a protective tariff. I am glad to
meet this veteran of seventeen presiden
tial campaigns here lo-day, and I feel
proud of tbe fact that be is this year In
favor of the great doctrine of tbe Repub
lican party, and profoundly interested in
lt S'.iccew. May bis long and honorable
life be still further prolonged, and may
hi declluing years be the happiest of his
long end useful career. If w e shall but
approach the patriotism of the great men
be bus supported, if we shall but enter
upon tbi campaign with tbe love and
devotion to country w hich characterized
Adams, Clay, Harrison, Taylor, Scott
andFremont, and Lincoln, and Grant,
and Garfield. Hayes and Arthur, and
Blaine, and Harrison, I am sure we will
have discharged every requirement of
good citizenship, and exercised every ad
vantage of matchless opportunities of
American voters.
