They are the only precincts in the county where a majority of the Republicans got ou the wrong side in t':e late congressional shindy. Sexatok-klkit Chris L.

His vote was 1.1, 70 to 2S! for the other fellow, and lie carried every election division in his district, though a considerable number of them have lieen accu.-tomed to go Demo cratic.

The voters of the county made answer to it in a most emphatic manner and trampled it under their feet. The high est majority heretofore given is exceed ed by twelve hundred, and the people of old Somerset County have achieved a triumph of which their descendants will long I proud. The rebuke thus administered to those who imagined they could tear this sternly old county from its moorings ought to teach them a much-needed lesson, and it mast give deep satisfaction to thoughtful and steady-going people. Did Mr. Eooser Want to Elect Free Eil vcrite to Coagress From Tail District T Victors can afford to be generous. Triumph prompts magnnnimity. And usually there is nothing more leconiing a conqueror than generosity to the van quished. When Oraut said to Lee's veterans "Take your horses and go home," lie added lustre to his fame. But there are exceptions to the rule. "They enslave their children's children who make compromise with sin;" and they do worse than that who, having overcome evil with good, condone the evil and let it again become malefic. There are some movements so base, some causes so depraved, that neither victory can justify them nor defeat en title them to commiseration. Such a cause was that which was van quished last Tuesday, when an unright eous effort was made by professed Re publicans to elect in this district, with its overwhelming Republican majority, a representative to Congress who was the candidate of the party of free silver, free trade, free riot, and national dis honor. Our readers will all remember the farcical Congressional Con ference which adjourned without making a rigular nomination; how Mr. Kooser, the Somerset County candidate, tiled a certificate of nomination, claiming to le the regular nominee by reason of his having received the votes of his three conferees, and how his pretentious claims were contemptuously dismissed by the Dauphin County Court; how Mr. Hicks also filed a certificate claim ing to be regularly nominated, and how it was also dismissed by the same Court, how Mr. Hicks and Mr. Thropp were Uith placed on the ticket by nomina tion pajiers and how the State and Na tional Committees appealed to the Re publican voters of the district to con centrate their votes upon Mr. Hicks in order that a loyal supporter of Presi dent McKinley might represent tiiem in Congress, It was to lie supposed that Mr. Koos- er, who with three others, was respon si We for placing the district in the er ilous position it occupied, would gladly rally his friends to the support of the candidate endorsed by both State and National Committees, and thus in a measure make amends fur what had gone lu fore. Did he do it? We trow not Wliil he, of all other Republicans in this County, having been the County 'scan didate, should have been in a iiosition to know which of the Republican can didates was the stronger, which had the belter chance of election, and to that one should have given his most generous support, lie openly announced that on iiersoiial grounds he could not vote lor .Mr. liicks, ana publicly ex pressed his belief that Mr. Thropp was much the stronger candidate of the two. If ignorance of the existing sit uation led Mr. Kooser to make the lat ter announcement, it was inexcusable; if duplicity, it was damnable. We of course do not know how Mr. Kooser voted on the question, but we do know that his nearest jKTsonal friends the "ft1"11 'uw 'ia,l supjiorted him most zealously when a candidate for the Congressional nomination, were the ones w ho worked and voted for Mr. Thropp and sent misleading statements as to the comparative strength of the two Republican candidates into every voting precinct in the County, and into the other Counties of the District. Mr. Kooser and his friends certainly knew that in attempting to divide the vote between Hicks and Thropp they were assisting in the election of McNamara. If their own judgment did not tell them that Hicks was immeasurably the stronger man, those high in the party councils did. and when they rejected this judgment they sinned against light aud knowledge. It matters but little for whom Mr. Kooser aud his immediate personal friends voted, but it is due the Rcpuli licaus of the County, for their future guidance, that they should know how men whom thoy have frequently hon ored with their suflrnges discharged their trust in the crucial test to which they were subjected on last election day. It was with them a question of men, Hicks or McNamara, person alsive party, self above patriotism aud coun try. We have none but the kindliest cr- sonal feelings for Mr. Kooser, and what we have said is not prompted by ntiy other motive, but we deem it a duty as a Republican journal to make known to the Republican voters of the County how men who aspire to their leader ship discharge their trust when called tijiou to make the test between party and self.

Tlie republicans of the Twentieth Pennsylvania Uongresional District composed of the counties of lledford, r.l.iir, Cambria ami Somerset, have not only demoiistated their ability to elect a Republican candidate to Congress over a Democratic coiujietitor but they have also shown that they can do it dead eay with two Republican can didates in the field. ;' ofticial vote of the district is as follows: Hicks.

Nor should they ever refuse- to Acknowledge, with contrite hearts, their pi-oneness to turn away from tiod's teachings, and to follow with siuful pride after their own devices. To the end that these thoughts may be quickened, it is fitting that ou a day es pecially appointed, weshouldjoin togeth er in approaching the throne of grace with prai.se and supplication. Therefore I, Grover Cleveland, Presi dent of the Uuited States, do hereby designate and set apart. Thursday, the twenty-sixth day of the present month of November, to be kept and olerved as a day of thanksgiving aud prayer through out our land, Ou that day let all our people forego their usual work and occupation, aud, as sembled in their accustomed places of worship, let them, w ilh one accord, ren der thanks to the Kuler or the Universe for our preservation as a nation and our deliverance from every threatened dan ger ; for t lie peace that has dwelt within our boundaries; for our defense against disease and pestilence during the year that has passed ; for the pleuteous re wards that have followed the labors of our husliaudmen, and for all the other blessiugs that have been vouchsafed to us. And let us, through the meditation of Him who has taught us how to pray, im plore the forgiveness of our sins and a continuation of heavenly favor. I,et us not forget on this day of thanks giving the poor and needy, and by deeds of charity let our otlt-riugs of praise lie made more acceptable in tho sight of the Lord. Witness my hand and seal of the Uni ted States, which I have caused to be hereto aliixed.
