JllIM' Hi, if:.
"They" couldn't defeat lli.ks and
now 'tliev" are trying to overthrow
Hk; man who was largely instrumental
in electing Hicks.
The candidate w !io is willing ami Is
in the hand of hi friends, often tries
to amtear as cov as a maiden who Is
exnectinir a iirortositlon. !ive him
time, however, ami it will le discover
ed what a failure lie is ill keeping a
secret.
Much bitterness was displayed l
tween the Quay aud Wanamaker fac
tions at the Klair county primaries, on
Baturdav. The former, under the 1
leadership of Congressman Hicks, won
out handsomely. Mr. Hicks will le
one of the delegates to the rotate Con
vention.
It is estimated that the w heat crop
in Texas this year will lie fifteen mil
lion liuhels. Texas produces more
cotton than any other state, aud what
with the wool and the eaU.e, it is not
to be wondered at that the Texan eon-
pressmen get enthusiastic about their I
Htate. If senator Mills would only I
gi t right on the tariff he might ac-
tually grow taller than he is.
Anent the use of money in jiolitics,
how alwiut proffers of good, fat wads
and large sized checks that were made
at both Johnstown and Harrisburg
during the late Congressional im
broglio? The Hkkai.ii has no disj-
sition to wash dirty party linen or to
make public party secrets, but if old
coals are to lie raked over its lockers
will lie found well stocked and its guus
shot led and primed, ready for action.
Wiikx county after county in the
State has licen electing delegates to
the State Convention known to b
friendly to Senator Quay, aud it is ul'
ready settled that his friends will con
trol the convention practically with
out opjxisitioii, the hj-sterical but futile
eirorts of the Wanamaker following in
this county to elect anti-Quay dele
gates verges on the ridiculous. It
simply serves to show the malignity of
this t-hot-eii band against the State and
County organization?.
Chairman I'.krki.ky evidently wa:
acquainted with the ancient Mistern
proverb: "If a man deceive yoti once,
siiame on him ; if he deceive yon
twice, siiame on vou," wncu lie was
dealing .v'th several of the would-l
candidates and tlieir friends. lie had
lieen deceived last I "all by promises to I
pay assessments that never material- I
ized, and, in consequence was a con- I leaves no doubt as to the honest-, le
siderable amount out of pocket He I gality and fairness of his actions and
refused to allow the same fellows to I
deceivehim again this spring, aud in
this he was wise.
e would suggest to every I!e
publican voter in the county that after
reading : he 1Iekai.ii he cut out the
statement of the receipts aud ex-
lenditures of the Primary Election
Fund, to lie found elsewhere in
these columns, and lay it carefully
way. Then, in the future, when hire
lings are sent out from this town, as
they have lieen in the past, to try to
deceive and mislead you by false state
ments as to the conduct of the
financial affairs of the party organiza
tion, bring out jour statement aud
say: "1011 lie, you aogs; you lie; go
back to your masters and tell them for
nie that they deceived me in this man
ner once, but they can not do it
again."
It will be recalled that in XovemU r
last when every true Republican in
the county was applauding Chainnai
IVrkley for his skillful and intelligent
management of the compaign just
closed, which resulted in giving Presi
dent Mclvinley , the largest majority
ever given in the county, and in re
electing Mr. Hicks to Congress, the
little band of party wreckers who art
defaming him now were not among
those who applauded him then. Foil
ed iu their conspiracy to elect a Frw-
Silverite to Congress by throwing the
vote of this county for Mr. Thropp,
they conceived a vicious hatred for the
man who assis'-- in ?,6,atlT,,..Jicir
r.ti'V ' MinM'inr soil rrru--il-il
liMrumental in excising their t reach
ry.
A few weeks ago we had about con
cluded that the usual spring amusement
season was to be allowed to pass by
without the familiar but diverting per
formance that always takes place
alioiit primary election time. We have
grown accustomed to these annual
proceedings in thu county the de
struction of the "machine," the over
throw of the "ring" the pulverizing of
the "Imsses," the cries, the roarings
and the bellowiugs and, later on, the
gurgle of the smothered noise. Rul
last week our fears were shown to lie
groundless. The old, well known po
litical acrobats appeared upon the
scene arid the readers of their outpour
ings were once more treated to a sight
of such familiar phrases as "damnable
piece of bossism," "daring rascality,"
iiie of political tricksters," "jioli-
tical desperadoes," etc. No, we are
not to le deprived of our usual spring
amusement; the annual comedy and
farce is to be reacted.
It must be gratifying to the I te publi
cans of the county to know that they
will be represented In the next State
Convention by Hon. K. I). Miller, John
W. Mostoller and James M. Cover.
Three more thorough and representa
tive Republicans would tie hard to find.
Mr. Miller represented this county
with conspicuous ability two terms in
the legislature, where his wide knowl
edge of public a Hairs, diligent atten
tion to the wants of his c u.tiluents,
together with his spoilers reputation
aud genial address won him a jxisitioii
among the leaders of that body.
Mr. Mostoller's Reiublicanism was
cemented on the field of battle, where
be distinguished himself by an act of
conspicuous bravery, which was recog
nized by Act of Congress and rewarded
with a gold medal. A gallant soldier
and a modest, broad-gauged citizen,
John V. Mostoller is worthy of any
honors the voters of the cotiuty may
in the future bestow upon him.
James M. Cover, our present efficient
Register and Recorder, has lieen an un
tiring worker in behalf of the party
ever since he cast his first ballot. He
has always been found wher fA'FArt

When tiie mournful jri'het iiuiel

1. Tliat a Kine man, of n itable
character, m ho had every oiiimrlunity
of knowing tlie exaet eoiulitiii of the
iwirty fnianccw, would Wildly make in
puMic print a statement like the above I
can scare ly Is? crwlitetl, unless it was
done under the -owardly impression
hat its author would remain unknown.
The falsity of the statement relative to
the primary fund is shown by ex-
Chairman JJiesecker's published state-
ment That fism w as received last
fall from outside sources is absolutely
and unqualifiedly false. If any fundi
at all w as sent to the County
rt.airmsn from outside sources hist fall

his friends, to be used exclusively in
the interests of Mr. Hicks, and if it
was sent and so used the result shows
that it was judiciously used, and the
parties who received it are no doubt
willing to render an accounting to the
parties who sent it at any time it is re-
uuested. If nionev was used in the in-
ter ts of Mr. Hicks its use was necessi
tated to counteract the use of Mr.
Thropp's money, which was placed in
the hands of the lamenting prophet
and his friends, who Were strivillff io
encompass the defeat of Mr.
Ili. L-u I
Is it to lie wondered at that the or-
rowing prophet in his agony cries out:
"See, O Lrd, and consider; for I am
liecome vile."
EusKwiiKRE in these columns will
lie found a card from Harvey M. Iterk
lcy, Iv., Cliairmatmf the llpubliin
County Committee, the careful perusal
of whieh we earnestly commend to
every ltvpublicau voter in the county.
It is a truthful, plain, full aud fair
statement of the facts and of the occur-
renees that led up to and called forth
the h k-sterieal ellusion from the pen of
a well known attorney, that ai.l:ired
in his 1 rsoual organ of a recent date,
under such startling head lines as,
"A IV.ld Ilxhiiiitioit of High-Haudisl
Tyranny, Political Desjieradoes At-
tempt to liar out Candidates," etc.
liecaiiM.- Mr. Perkley knew his duty as
Chairman, and knowing jierfonned
it, he is denounced and villilied by
this wotild-lie-iHilitical leader in his
choicest billingsg:ite and his every
action is misconstrued and misrepre-
sen ted.
C:airman llerkley's answer
to this unjust and untruthful tirade
we feci confident the iiosition he has
taken will lie upheld and sustained by I
a vast majority of the Republican vot
ers of the count v. If the rules govern
ing the party are to lie nullified in one
instance why not in others. If candi
dates are to lie allowed to set the rules
at defiance and refuse to pay a legiti
mate assessment for the purpose of de
fraying the expenses of a primary,
then the rules had better lie aUilishcd.
In adhering s!rictly to the letter of the
rules, of the law, and refusing to an
uounce all intending candidates who
refused or neglected to pay their pro
portionate share of the expenses of the
primary Chairman Ilerkley simply did
what was right, what was his duty and
what any other firm, fair aud honest
man would have done.
Thk Herald is pleased to be in a po
sition, for once, to heartily accord with
the esteemed Meyersdale C-ommercial
and our hysterical contemporary of
this town, in a matter pertaining to
local politics, namely, that there being
but one regularly announced candi
date for each office or jKisition to be
voted for it' is useless to hold a pri
mary and Chairman Berkley and his
Committee should promptly call it oil.
To hold a primary under existing con-
ditions would be an unnecessary aud
wasteful expenditure of money that
will lie needed next year, when several
important otlices will have to lie filled
and a primary will lie a necessity.
The day for announcing camJMates
legally has Kissed; 110 rim-r names
thai? ffif! ' ll're.'PfytnnouiKvd can
come legally before the party at this
time, then why hold a primary? Call
it off, Chairman IVrkley, as you not
only have the legal right to do, but it
is your plain duty so to do.
Where the party rules are silent
the party custom or practice becomes
the law. At no time since the adop
tion of the existing party rules
has a primary been held when there
was only one regularly announce!
candidate for each office or jiosition to
lie filled, but, 011 the contrary, each
year that these conditions have pre
vailed no primary has lieen held, aud
the annoiiiK-ed candidates have been
declared the Iarty nominees, and as
such have invariably lieen elected.
This practice or custom has, therefore,
become the law of the larty, and iu
calling the contemplated primary off
you and j'our Committeemen, Chair
man Berkley, will be but obeying the
spirit of a well established tarty cus
tom and law.

kiiI mi it to your consideration the follow
lag
la the first plai-e, I refused no man's
announcement fee on the ground that I
would not call a primary, nor did I ever
say to any person there would tie no
primary. What I did say in several con.
versations was that I hoped such an ami
cable arrangement might be maile among
tho nutates as would avoid the neccs-
jty for holding a primary

for nomination to such modest o Hi cos as
Jury Commissioner and Poor Diro-tor.
liut when it became certain that no such
arrangement could be made I determin
ed in accordance with precedent and
rule 13, of the Utiles and Regulations of
the Republican party of this county.
(which rule reads as follows:

assist in raising the necessary funds
Having for some years paid the Chair
man's checks I well knew that the bal
ance on hand was insuilicieut to bold a
primary according to usual custom. Ac
cordingly I did not receive announiHs.
mentx fees from candidates and after
wards demand proportionate shares as al
Icged by the Standard, but from the very
start, on Tuesday, May i"lh, Itoldcarh
and every candidal who wanted loan
ii mi nee that I would receive annoiinec
inent fees from and announce as candi
datea only those who would agree by
JuneS, ls!17, to pay their proportionate
shares of the deficit. I also sUt.nl plain
'y 10 candidate, or to the person w ho
wanted to announce a name, that 011 Sat
urday, Junefith, the last day for announc
ing, I would have ready a full statement
showing anion nt in hard and the
amount iieeeMsary lo li made upsothn
ail ivxild see what the proHirlioim(c share
would lie, and pay in or decline so to do,
as they saw lit.
The tirst man who paid me ?!0 a. -cord
iiigly was Ia id Cover, to whom I mad
a full statement and gave a written re
eeipt, with agreement on my part if h
would not by June .r(h pay his propor
tionate share I would return the money
ami not anitouiiee his name. Vet ho
(Cover) swears that I never made a de
maud from him. I challenge publica
tion of the receipt. Mr. Cover spoko to
me several linn's, intervening date of
payment and June 5th, and in the last
conversation told me that "he would pay
nothing extra, as there was not enough
in the office."
The same arrangement was made with
Mr. I. J. Hear, who was in Somerset on
June 5th, but failed to call 011 me.
On Monday, June 7th, he offered to
pay the expense of holding a primary in
his own township. I told him that would
tie unfair and that I would treat all can
didates alike.
The next candidate desiring to an
nounce was John II. Shaffer, who called
on Tuesday, May 2Ttu. I made him the
same statement of deficit, etc.. in the
presence of Josiah Swank. Shaffer said
he would see about it and left to consult
with his friends. He returned later ac
companied liy X. K. Iterkey and said
'Here is f 10 for my announcement fee for
Jury Commissioner ; I will pay no more."
I told him that I would not receive his
announcement fee on those conditions and
would not announce his name as a can
didate, lie pushed a $10 bill under the
cashier's window of The First National
Bank and walked out.
Practically the same conversation was
had with Messrs. Isaiah liood, (who paid
tor himself and Chas. F. Cook.) 1 1. F.Bar
rou, P. I". Miller, S. V. Sholier, ( who
paid for Mr. Fmst) and J. A. Tterkey.

Adam S. Miller never tendered me f 10
as he has sworn he did. He called twice
aud said he was ready to announce as
he alleges but he never offered to pay
any money.
S. I. Suober is in error w hen he says
that he saw Mr. Foust tender me $10.
Konst said that he was ready tfl announ-e
but made no tender of announcement fee.
(u the other hand the candidates whom
I have announced at once acquiesced,
when I made the same statement as to the
deficit, that the Chairman should not lie
railed upon to pay this large sum of
money out of his own pocket, and
promptly arrange,! for the payment of
their proportionate shares of the expense
of hoi ling a primary.
n Saturday, June 5th, only one of the
would-lte-caudithtlcs called upon me.
He inquired If I had prepared a state
ment, to which I replied atiinuali vely
and exhibited to him a statement exactly
as it appears here :

In furnishing the aliove statement no

Chairman is required to puldish the an

papers. However many announcement
foes there mitrht lie at fill each the entire

He exainiued the statement carefully
and left saying ho would return later,
This was before 10 A. M. AIjoiiI 4 P. M.
he returned and added that he wanted to
announce as a candidate &r Jury Com
missioner but said: "I wilt only pay
$10 as the rest will do." I informed him
that I would uot announce his name,
and he left $10 011 the counter and walk
ed out.
The intending cacdidates who called
on me after May 2"ith were all clearly and
definitely informed that I would adhere
strictly to the rules, and if gentlemen
with heated imagination and bated breath
traverse! all parts of the comity seeking
to circumvent the Chairman iu a contin
gency which he had not announced or
contemplated, they have only themselves
to blame. The expenditure of loss mon
ey than they devoted to that enterprise
would have made up the deficit referred
to.
The candidates whom the Standard re
fer to as "The King Slate," never ap
peared to the Chairman as though they
feared the issue of a primary. And not

In a Lighter Vein.
nY DICTATOR.
If the two "old cronies" who rodo tip
and down the county securing signatures
to a useless and senseless petition hud
had "a bicycle built for two" they might
have trsveled faster and seen more than
"twenty-eight Committeemen."
.
We don't much wonder that "they"
were mad, ma'! clean through," as one
of them expressed it when "they" dis
covered that Chairman Berkley had Is
sued the usual rail for a primary in the
usual way, before "they" had an oppor
tunity to flash ou him tho petition that
they" had procure! at a cost of so much
lalior, time and money, and departure
from decency and truth.
.
Twenty-eight were seen and twenty
five were chosen. What was the matter
with the other three?
We will lay as much as a dollar that
"they" did not have anything like twenty-five
genuine signatures of Committee
men to their petition.
Several of the aftiants must have been
suffering from a lapse of memory when
they took the "tuakor oath" that they
had always lieen Kepublicans. If we
have not lieen misinformed one of them
was a full-Iledged Hemocrat for many
years and later on voted the Prohibition
ticket; while another of them was a
howling Oreenbackor in '7S and'73, an
last fall was an eager and vociferous ad
vocate of Hryanisiu and the unlimited
coinage of silver at hi to I.
. 9
How does it come that the three wouhl
t.o candidates for delegatus did not testi
fy that they had always lieen Republi
cans" as several of tln-ir fellow were re
quired to do? Were they like C:eser's
wife, aliove suspicion, or were their eon
sielices too tender?
.
Tl.cre is a discrepancy in Ihe affidavits
of William Foust and Sebner S holier.
Chairman llerkley's statement corrolnr-
ates Mr. roost. Mist people will lelu e
William.
And now "lliey threaten to "hold a
primary of their own." We did m4
think you would act on llre'r Wana
maker's suggestion so quickly; but, de
part in peace, erring brethren, dep.irt in
peace. Remember, however, that yon
did the same thing in 'KJ, ami whili you
were received liack in full fellowship.
without even being required to take the
oath of allegiance, (here is no assuram-e
that the same generous terms will lie
accorded yon again.
'
After all, isn't much of it an effort to
galvanize life into a few old fossils who
were carried to the political grave-yard
way back in 'si
.
" Xo, sonny, the recent upheaval did
not result from the McKiuley ratification

Primary Election Annonneed.
From the Meyersdale Commercial.
Thk Cmmki'I.i". has all along lieen
opixmed to the holding of the Primaries
this year. It is unnecessary that they lie
held. Times are hard ami we should
practice economy now if ever. Hon. A
J. ColUirn, our present rflh ient Iistrit
Attorney, was nominated, as well as the
delegates to the State Convention, with
out the expense of a Primary elei-tion.
aud no one found fault in the County
Committee or its Chairman for (heir ac
tion. Perhaps there was not enough in
it then to "kick" as some of our malcon
tents are now doing.
The actual expenses of holding a Pri
mary election amount, iu round wttu-
licrs, to f7i.(in. In exact figures to fl'N.
KL There is only available ti meet this
$7.4', or not enough by fl31.il Mr.
licxk'T, ihe Chairman of the Rcpubli
inn County Committee, submitted this to
all parties interested and assured them
that he would call the Primaries as soon
as a Mifhcient amount would be pledged
to make up the deficit of ?1 tl.il t if all
the gentlemen offering only those agreed
to pay their pro rnla share of the deficit
whose names aro annoum-ed hy the
County Chairman as candidates, else
where in these column. Kvidently tho
gentlemen who refused to pay their
share of the deficit, wished the Chair
man to pay it out of his own pocket.
The whole truth of the matter is our
several Chairman have been too lax in
enforcing the rules and it is refreshing
to have a Chairman with the lwck bone
to compel their olwervance. 4 if the can
didates in the past who refused to obey
the rules, in the matter of paying their
assessments, are Messrs. llerkey, Sholier,
Uarron, Kimmel and Matt re r, and each
of these should have been promptly
dropped from the ticket al the limo, and
the next to him in vote sulistituted. Mr.
IU-rkley would havo done this and his
close adhesion to tho rub's in this in
staticit will win him the regard, respect
and support of the Republicans of the
county. The malcontents will find they
have a man of nerve, brain and courage
to deal with. I'nder his leadership the
con uly gave one thousand more of a ma
jority than ever Iwfore. He has done his
work quietly, unostentatiously but most
effectively. He is the right man in the
right place, and one whom tho party can
rely upon to do his whole duty when
public interests demand.
A Card.
It seems liecause my name was an
nounced in the IlKRvi.n the story has
lieen circulated Liat I Udong to tho so
called ".Seiill-riog.' When I asked tho
Chairman, Mr. Ilerkley, to announce my
name he said "there is a deficit of over
$ ion, and unless the candidates agree to
pay that be would not hold a primary."
He said "it would amount to about ft. to
each candidate, Ittshies tho regular an
nouncement fee." I said he should an
nounce my name, I would pay my share
rather than not have a primary.
I want my friends to know that no po
litical ring or faction can dictate to me
how I shall vote or how I shall not vote.
I always vote the straight Republican,
ticket, but I vote for the candidate who,
in my humble judgment will lie the
more honest anil efficient officer, regard
less of political factious.

the watery expanse, without sea sickness
you are well, a lucky voyager, that is

on the ocean waves, who were almost
born, so to speak, with their "sea legs
on," sutler now am! then from sea sick
ness iu very tempestuous weather. Sea
captains, tourists, commercial traveleis
and yatehsmen say that there is 110 finer
safeguard agaiust nausea than Hosteler's
Stomach Bitters, and it has lieen equal'y
reliable as a preventive for invalids who
travel by steamboat and railroad, and
who sometimes suffer as much in those
conveyances as ocean travelers do in
steamships. Biliousness, constipation,
sick headache aud disorders of the stom
ach caused by oppressive climatic influ
