are some very hungry and very thirsty
Democrats in Pennsylvania.
Prii kent McKin ley needs no vin
dicatiou, but a big Republican majority
in the next Congress would show that
the country appreciates a capable and

The fact is that this administration
bas mantged so magnificently that
campaign timber for the opposition to
build on is scarce and they must make
the moat possible by striving to sow
seeds of dissension in the adversaries'
camp. A vote against the Republican
candidates will be construed as a vote
against the national conduct of the
war it will be no cocstrued and have
that effect and whether it bean issue
or not, the tactic of the opposition
have been such as to compel the vt ter,

tion, to vote the Republican ticket,

The Bwallow meeting in the Court
House Monday afternoon was com
posed of a fair-sized audience of Re
publicans and Democrats, with here
and there a Prohibitionist. Presuming
that the object of the meeting was to
make votes for Doctor Swallow for
Governor, it was a flat failure, the aud
ience,. lieing entirely void of enthusi
asm. The speakers were given an at
tentive and respectful hearing, but
their ,-peeches made no lasting impres
sion. Doctor Swallow's speech was
devoid of anythiug sensational, which
was a great disappointment to many of
those present, who had attended for
the purpose or in the hope of hearing
him roast Senator Quay. HU speech
consisted alinott entirely of a reitera
liou of charges of abuses couuected
with the fittiug-up of Grace church for
the meetings of the Legislature, and
for the making of which the Doctor
has already been convicted of libel and
proven to be a reckless falsifier. The
meeting is not likely to affect to any
great extent the result of the election
for Governor in Somerset county in
November.
It is a sneaking support that the
Philadelphia Press give to the Swal
low movement, but it is intended in
that way to lie more effectual. The
Republican who trusts the statements
cf the Press leans on a broken rod.

Colonel EorKEVKLT said in a speech
u Saturday, in a town in New York :
'We ask you to support us lecause we
utaiid for honesty in the affairs of the
nation, and because we stand at this
crisis for uprightness and the honor of
the American Aug, and for securing to
the Csg the success of the victories that
were w on under it last summer." This
is a sound platform, aud broad enough

The Dauphin County Cotyt has de
cided that Congressman Butler, of Ches
ter county, was not legally nominated,
and his name will therefore not lie
placed in the Etpnb'ican column.
Jioth he and J-i.:i 1L Rohison will
probably secure a place on the ticket
by means of nomination papers. This
pjts them cn an ejujiliiy, neither hav
ing the advantage cf a party nomina
tion. It is the right of two yean ago
over again.
The professed anxiety of the Wana
maker machine organs to save the Con
gressional districts is in edifying con
trast with their eagerness to give the
State government aud legislature to
the Democracy, aud to liave a Demo
crat (tent lrorn Pennsylvania L. the
United States Senate, to take the place
of a Republican. It certainly is im
portant to oend Republican Represent
ative to Congress, liut it is equally
important to Lave a Republican sent
to the United States Senate.
We are frequently asked what ac
tion the Republican nominees for the
State Legislature in this county will
take when the time comes for them to
vote for a candidate for United States
Senator. To this inquiry we have in
variably made answer that a large ma
jority of the Republican voters of the
county at their recent primary election
having declared Senator Quay to be
their choice for United States Senator,
and the recent County convention hav
ing unanimously passed a resolution in
structing the legislative nominees to
vote for Senator Quay, they are in honor
bound to 60, and that we believe they
will do so. Roth noniiuei are taking
au active part n the campaign and will
speak at most of the meetings to I
held, and, in order that tbtir position
may be fully understood, they should
announce it at every meeting they at-
teud ; and should they neglect to vol
untarily do so, it would not be amiss
for Republican voters who attena the
meetings to interrogate them. Ibey
surely can not hesitate to say that they
will go into the Republican caucus and
will abide by the decision of the caucus.
We deem it important that the candi
dates do this, in view of the fact that
one of them, Mr. Koontz, was an avow
ed supporter of John Wauamaker at
the time of our recent primaries, and
was president of the Bourse meeting
that called upon Wanamaker to be a
candidate for Governor. Now that Mr.
Wanamaker has thrown off his mask
aud is slumping the State in the inter
ests of the Democratic ticket, the R -
publicans of Somerset county have a
right to know aud demand cf their
legislative uomintes whether or not
they are still in sympathy with Mr.
Wanamaker politically, and whether,
when elected, they will unite with him
iu an effort to defeat the election of a
Republican to the United States Senate.

The campaign in progrewa in Pennsyl
vania is very similar to that in New York.
In both States there is the name rounding
tip of the opioaiiion to the Republican
party in the attempt to swing the Gov
ernorships over to the Democrats and to
elect Democratic Senators and Represent
atives in Congress. In both States, too.
the same clans of issues is being used
wbat is called "State issues." Ia New
York the opposition charges extrava
gance and steals in the canal manage
ment.
Hut wbat bus the past to do with Col
onel Roosevelt, tlte Republican candi
date? He has not lieen extravagaiit,'nor
is be a thief. He make answer in thia
way:
"In consiJerine every interest I shall
consider il from the alautiposnl of (be in
terest of the people as a wbole and from
no oiber autniipoiut. That applies to the
uanasreuient ot tbe canals and it applies
to tbe management of every other public
oniee in the Mute, in considering the
public servant himself, tbe man who
deais witb tbe public interest, I shall
demand erliciencv, I shall demand cour
age, but, more than ail, I a ball demand
rigid honesty."
A sensible, manly answer, this. There
is no necessity for going outside the Re
publican party for reforms. The party,
under Roosevelt, can reform itself.
Here in Pennsylvania the opposition
makes the same charges of extravagance.
There are no canals to manage, so in tbe
place of tbe canals we have charges of
treasury mismanagement. Not a cent ia
missing, it is true, but that does not pre
vent vituperative abuse.
But what has Colonel Stone to do witb
tbe past? lie is not responsible for that.
His responsibility lies in the future. And
what does he answer to the malicious
attacks? Just this:
"I have been accused of belonging to
some certain men. If I am any man's
man I have never discovered it. l"p to
tbis point I bate not made a promise to
any man or woman, and until after elec
tion 1 will not. With respef-t to certain
bills which were before tbe last Legislat
ure aud created a scandal, I said thai if I
were elected 1 would veto them, anil 1
will oppose any measure that in any way
bas tbe appearance of being vicious or
corrupL"
Tbis, too, is a sensible and manly, reply.
The whole system of State deposits bas
baen changed by law, and as for future
legislation. Colonel Stone will guard the
State's iiiterests carefully. As in New
York, there is uo necessity in.Pennsyl
vania to go ouUide tbe Republican party
for reforms. Tbe party is nig enough.
and its candidates are honettt enough to
look after whatever reformation is neces
sary.
With McKinley in Washington devel
oping the nation s policies and depend
ing upon Republican support to carry
out those policies, tbis is no year to try
experiments with erratic Swallowcrats
and Democrats.
In his speeches throughout the State
John Wanamaker says that for twenty
years Senator Quay has been ruling the
Republican party of Pennsylvania as
with a rod of iron and has been using
money lavishly to maintain jbat rule
and has made the party guilty of every
thing that is corrupt and bad in poli
tics. And yet for nearly all that time
Mr. Wanamaker worked with tbe Re
publican party and "co operated with
Mr. Quay for its success aud nevtr

The Republicans of Pennsylvania
should gird themselves for the fight,
and from now until election day put
forth every effort to keep Pennsylvania
where she belongs, at the head of the
Republican column. Keep her, as she
has been, as the loyal supporter of the
principles of Republicanism and of the
administration of President McKinley.
The opponents of the Republican
party profess to be making the cam
paign on "State issues," aud deny that
it involves any national issues. Men
of Pennsylvania who have acted with
the Republican party, men who have
been disappointed iu their appeals to
the jieople in former campaigns, have
ignored the problems of the future and
tdl the voters that the only issue in
volved is their own personal grievance.
They join themselves with Swallow,
with Jenks, with any party or faction
in order that an anti-IU-publican leg
islature may be elected to se nd a Dem
ocrat to the United States Senate.
There is no difficulty in defining the
actual State duties. Every question, to
the determination of which the vole of
tbe State will contribute, prevents a State
issue. There are questions of even broader
aoope than those affecting tbe adminis
tration of State affaiis. Tbe question
whether Pennsylvania will indorse the
dtiiiuist ration of President McKinley is
to be det?riniued by the vote of tbe State
for (Jovernor and Congressmen. The de
feat cf the Republican State ticket, an of
Republican candidates for Congress, will
everywhere lie construed as a repudiation
of McKiniey'a administration. An Issue I
is thus made between the administration
and lis opponents, to which the Republi
cans of Pennsylvania are parties. The

aud sound money shall be sustained is

State in dealing with these fcubjects.
Therefore
Whether Pennsylvania will stind by

laws, or by the Bryan policy of free trade.

State issue.
beiher Pennsylvania will stand tar
the McKinley policy of national ex pan
skm aud the retention of the territory
conquered from Spain, or by the Demo

a State issue.
Whether Pennsylvania is to be repre

Altoona Tribune.
Republican rule in Pennsylvania has
been something awful according to Dr.
Swallow. Let's see, in l&M, when the
Republicans took tbe State from the
Democrats, they had to shoulder a debt
of M,(wa,0ua, To-day that debt has been
reduced to f 1.2?t,fi(i 78. There must have
been herculean "dishonesty" and "theft"
practiced to have accomplished this won-
dei fully favorable showing.
.
Swallow insists that fl.OOO.noo interest
on State money has been stolen during
the past twenty years. The fact that there
baa been no interest on State deposits for
the past twenty years proves that Swal
low is a "strictly reliable" man.
.
A sweeping Republican victory ought
to 14 an easy thing this campaign. Swal
low's adherents are not multiplying. Tbe
Anti Quayitea are at a standstill and De
mocracy's dismembered timber cannot
be gotten together in time to doctor it
back.
It is an easy matter to make charges of
extravagance and dishonesty, but Mr.
Swallow, at least, found out that it is a
very difficult matter to sustain such
charges in the courts.
. .
Many people believed last year that
Wanamaker, Swallow A Co. were sin
cere, and voted with them nnder that
imprension. Tbe present campaign has
demonstrated beyond controversy that
they are seekers after office, and disap
pointed ones at that.

Dr. Swallow baa filled theState with his
cries of criminal wrong-doings by State
ftcials. He has charged them with every
crime, from incendiarism the burningof
the capitol building to petty larceny
the stealing of old furniture, il is chargea
have been broad, hia fact meagre, and
his proof absolutely non-existent. Yet
he declare fce has "convicting evidence"
which h carefully conceals. Why does
he conceal it? Probably because ha r-aa
none to present. Several weeks since
(Yrfonel Stone pertinently suggested in
writing to Dr. Swallow, that if he had
evidence that would show probable cur-ie
fir the charges of grave crimes he has
been making, it was his duty, not only as
an ordained minister of the g-ispel. but as
a g-Hsl citizeu, to lay such evidonce Itefore
the District Attorney of Diuphin county
for action by the graud jury. In reply to
this apposite suggestion Dr. Swallow
wrote Colonel Stone;
"Now, Colonel, you are a lawyer; you
are more; a lawmaker in one branch of
the highest lawmaking body of the nation,
and yet you evidently don't know that
a private individual cannot bring suit
against State officials for malfeasance in
oilicn; that a grand jury cannot hear hia
testimony, and the District Attorney can
not prosecute the case an lew it originates
with aud be presented for the Attorney
General of the Stain, as I am informed by
well-read lawyers."
This preposterous statement of the law
waa received w ith general ridicule. The
suggestion that no one can prosecute
thieves who steal from the State, except
the Attorney-General, was so absurd that
only the evidence furnished by Dr. Swal
low's written statement could convince
any one that the idea bad birth in Dr.
Swallow's abnormal imagination. Of
course, no "well-read lawyers" bad in
formed him. Even the char-woman
around a law oilioe would writhe if such
information were attributed to her. But
then. Dr. Swallow, in tbe same letter, as
though he believed in his own ridiculous
statement of the law relative to thievery
from the State, goes on to say that he has
many times importuned the Attorney-
General to proceed against the State
thieves, and has offered to submit his
"convicting evidence," The ordinary
citizen thicks that if Dr. Swsllow has
'convicting evidence," he ought to sub
mit it, and not talk so much about i1o:ng
so. Hut Attorney-General Mccormick
has evidently taken Dr. Swallow's state
ment aliout importuning him seriously.
and treats it as worthy of reply; for he
thus addresses Governor Hastings:
'I believe it to be due to you and to the
public, as well- as to myself, to sav that

shown that he powwvsed any evidence
tbat would be admissible in any court in
any civilized country In tbe world."
Such a stinging rebuke would not be
accepted in silence by Dr. Swallow did be

it forth is basolosa and tbat the rebuke
itself is well deserved.

Spaniard! Say We Won't Make Any Coa-
eeeeion for Peace.
imxdox, uct. zi. rne I'ans corres
pondent of the Times records a visit he
received from "a great Spanish personage.
who seems to have been commissioned
to ascertain the trend of public opinion
on the peace negotiations." The corres
pondent says tbat tbe personage appear
ed to be much depressed. He said he
had found great general sympathy for
Spain, but had uol discovered any possi
bility of obtaining moral support against
the American delegatos, who were in
flexible in their demands,, and who, with
much politeness, had categorically re
fused hitherto to make tbe slightest con
cession in any of their instructions. It
seems that tbey have never asked Wash
ingtou for tbe slightest modifications.
Tbe Americans adhere to the method
of conducting tbe negotiations by written
memorials aud written replies. The
Spaniards try repeatedly to start a verbal
discussion in order to obtain a deviation
from tbe inflexible line followed bv tbe
Americans. Senor Abarzuzi, a member
of the Spanish Commission, who is re-
putej to be a master cf English, especial
ly attempts to initiate conversation. Be-
iu; eloquent, be always profoundly im
presses tbe Americana, who listen atten
nveiy, nut rigidly maintain their pro
cedure.
The personage told the correspondent
that he found tbe Spaniards much dia
couraeed. They were couvinced tbat the
i niiea states waa cent on a rigorous ex
ercise of iu rights aa a victor. He recall
cu laonuiHiraeiii or i riuce vistnarck as
to the nece-wity of avoiding tbe abuse of
victory, by which the conqueror loads
himself with a crushing burden that U
aim'- more damaging to himself than to
the vanquished.
"The Americans," continued the
speaker, "are not adopting this wise and
hnmane view. Tbey refuse to make any
concession on the financial question. We
have vainly urged that they themselves
accepted financial obligations from Eng
land after the war of indepscdence, ac
cept vl burdens in connection with Texas,
and tbat It would be an arbitrary oourse
and a vexatious precedent to throw the
Cuban debt on Spain. All bas been use
less. Now, what our delegates should
say to thf m If they persist is :
'We are in your hands. You are the
vic'ors. We once committed the folly of
going to war with you because you did
not leave us time to avoid it aud because
you treated u.- so that we were bouud to
plunge into war, though we foresaw tbe
result.

folly of recommencing it in any form.

world to judge them, but no human force
can compel us to subscribe to thern and

PLACES AT WHICH THE ELECTION IS TO BE HELD.
I hereby make known and give notice that the places for holding the aforesaid election, in the several borough, town
ships and district w itbin the said County of Somerset are as follows, to wit :
Opinion cf aa Eminent Jariit
Ballot reform in New York was neces
sary, aays an eminent jurist, beciuse
mere politicians by trade who bad no In
terest iu government or politics except to
enrich themselves sought perpetual con
trol. There are other excellent reforms
besides tbat of the ballot. Conspicuous
among them is the reform, promptly aud
thoroughly effected, in a disordered phys
ical system by Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, which counteract tendencies to se
rious disease, bred by a deficiency of vital
stamina, irregularity of the bowels, stom
ach, liver or kidneys, and inquietude of
the nerves. Tbis sterling medicine, which
has for near half a century won because
it deserves popular favor, is commended
by physicians of eminence who accord it
tbeir approval, not only for its excellent
qialitiea in a remedial capacity, bat also
for its serviceable properties as a medic
inal stimulant It soothes and strength
ens the nerves, and is far preferable to tbe
h'sdy, nnmedicated sli nuli of commerce.
