Get out the vote!
Get out the McKiuley vte !
A vote for 8 wallow is half a vote for
Jtuks.
Stoxe is sure winner. It is only a
question of rosjority.
The President's Thanksgiving proc
lamation if fine and complete. Read it.
Let every Republican go to the polls
next Tuesday and vote the straight
ticket.
A Democratic victory on Novem
ber 8 would give great satisfaction at
Madrid and Vienna.
Nothing can l-at William A. Stone
if evtry Republican does his duty and
votes in a patriotic way.
The President's tour demonstrated
that the people are with him, and the
settlement of national L-sues next week
will tell the same story.
The country did not recover until
17 from the calamitous effects of the
Demociatic victory in ls2. That folly
will not be repeated in lts.
A vote anywhere for a Republican
Coneressman is a vote to sustain Presi
dent McKinley, and to aid him in set
tling the war on the lines he has pre
pared.
The Republican w ho wouldn't w alk
ten miles this year to give President
McKinley a vote of confidence could
le excused only on the ground of phys
ical disability.
( Fome of the Democratic papers ae
beginning to condemn what they call
"pandering to the soldier vote." The
soldier vote is against the Democrats in
Js!lS as it w as in Wi-J.
The national issues in the coming
election are of the first importance.
They include the settlement of a war
and the organization of new territory,
ioliticaHy and commercially.
There are several old soldiers on the
Republican ticket, and that is w hy the
mugwump and sham reformer are abus
ing it. Scratch a bogus reformer and
you find a soldier-hater every time.
A vote for Swallow is half a vote
for Jenks. Are you in favor of rebuk
ing the stable and sound money Gov
ernment so ably administered by Presi
dent McKiuley? Vote for the whole
R publican ticket.
A vote for a Congressman who w ill
antagonize President McKinley would
le a queer performance for any one call
ing himself a Republican, a friend of
sound money, or a believer in the ex
pansion of American commerce.
f!i'E it to 'em all along the line, Re
publicans ! We've got 'em on the run,
itud we must keep 'em going till after
the polls close next Tuesday. It is no
time to vote for a mongrel ticket Vote
nothing but the straight Ik-publican
ticket.
The tide has set in for William A.
Stone for Governor. He is a man of
irreproachable character, an old soldier
and an able statesman. Compared to
liiiu none of the other candidates are
in it. Vote for Col. William A. Stone
and the whole Republican ticket.
Who put the State tax on the farm
er's land ? The Democratic party. Who
took the tax off the farmer's land ? The
Republican party. Who will again put
the tax oc the farmer's land if it ever
comes into power? The Democratic
lrty. Vote the full Republican ticket
this year and prevent this.
It makes every former little shop
keeper in Philadelphia smile when he
reads about John Wanamaker going
up and down the State denouncing
trusts. A good many of them not
only in Philadelphia, but in near-by
towns have felt the effect of the Wan
amaker trust, and it was not pleasauL
There are eight columns on the bal
lot to t voted on the 8th of November.
The surest way to have your vote count
ed is to mark a cross in the circle over
the column with the name Republican
in it. If you go to scratching your
ticket, you may scratch in the wrong
place, and that may lose you our vote,
which would be a misfortune.
That S. Marshall Williams is en
gaged in a very lad business w hen Le
is helping the Democrats to capture the
Fifty-sixth Congress, all Republicans
will agree. That be is doing so at the
instance of the Republican State Com
mittee is a Wanamaker lie on a par
with Doctor Swallow's charge that the
R -publican politicians set fire to the
6tte capitoL
A vote for a Republican candidate
f.K Congress is something more than
an expression of partisan preference
this year. It is a practical manifesta
tion of patriotism in the shape of an
endorsement of the acts and policy of
the Government, and it is the duty of
very loyal citizen to cast his ballot for
' the candidate who will uphold the ad
ministration of President McKinley.
It i expected that a presidential or
der will be issued in November remov
ing over C.000 places from the classified
civil service list. The principal places
affected will be 2,000 deputy collectors
of internal revenue, who actually serve
as collectors, and 4,000 physicians, serv
ing as pension examiners. This is good
news. It is high time that the civil
service humbug was given a resound
ing wback. The President can not act
too speedily or too radically.
Let no Republican voter be misled
by the fight made againct Senator
Quay. This was begun when Quay
was National Chairman, and the howl
was raised by the Democrat because
he defeated them. The same bitter
bowl was set forth against Hon.' Mark
Hanna because, as National Chairman,
he led our party to success. Find out
what the enemy wants aDd then do the
opposite, is a good rule. If they didn't
have Quay and Hanna to bowl about,
it would be some one else.
The Republican party has brought
peace and prosperity to this country.
Let well enough alone ; you will never
get anything one one-hundredth so
good from the Democrats. A vote for
Swallow is half a vote for Jenks, the
free silver, free trade, anti-expansion
Democrat, who still runs in the old cop
perhead rut of 11. Vote for Col. W.
A. Stone, a gallant soldier, a statesman,
a supporter of honest money, an up
holder cf the tariff, a man who is with
President McKinley in his broad views.
The congressional districts which
were close in lS'JG are those in which
the hardest fight will be made on No
vember 8. In Loriual years about as
many of these are Republican as are
Democratic. In fifty-seven districts the
plurality of the successful candidates
two years ago was under 1,700. The
Republicans could lose ha f of these
and fclill have control of the House,
N- body believes the Republicans will
lose anything like this many districts.
They undoubtedly will carry the House.
Rut there must be no staying away
from the polls. Every Republican vote
must be got out.
"I have been asked every day to dis
cuss Slate issues, yet the oppodiion of
fers no State issues to discuss. Because
Doctor Swallow believes that be knows
who burned thecapitol and I do not
know, is uo reasou why he should be
elect d Governor. He never accused
me of doing it, and 1 feel confident he
did uot do it, so there is no issue there.
I have not gone nor do 1 intend to go
into the merits of the Quay-Wanama
ker controversy, liecause neither of
them is a candidate for Governor, but
I am. I do not projiose to question the
character for honesty of my opponents,
for I know they have a hard enough
lime." William A. Stone,
The speech delivered by Mr. Joseph
K. Thropp, the Republican candidate
f ir Congress in this district, at the
grand Republican mass meeting held
in the court house ou Wednesday after
noon was an able effort, and the can
didate made a most favorable impres
sion on the large aud intelligent audi
ence. It was the first opportunity that
most of those present had bad of see
ing and hearing their congressional
candidate. There is no doubt of Mr
Tbropp's election by a large mejority,
and that he will receive the support of
every Wal Republican in Somerset
ctunty goes without sayiug. The Re
publicans of Somerset comity and of
the Twentieth Congressional District
are firm believers in protection, sound
money and William McKiuley, and
they propose to see to it that they are
represented in the Fifty-sixth Congress
by one who is in full accord with their
vie a s.
One of the most important elections.
in the history of the State and Country
will occur next Tuesday, and the Her
ald takes the opportunity of urging
upon every loyal Republican, and espe
cially the members of the County com
mittee, the importance of getting out
the full Republican vote, and not only
of getting the voters to the polls, but
seeing that, w hen there, they vote the
straight ticket without a scratch. Our
ouly apprehension is that there will
not be a full turnout, aud that our ma
jority will not be up to that of former
years. County Chairman Berkley has
been unremitting in his labors in an
endeavor to have the full Republican
vote of the county polled, and in this
ffort he should be actively assisted by
every member of the County commit
tee. It is the duly of the committee
men to see that the vote is gotten out.
That is one of the reasons why they
were selected for this important trust,
aud this is one of the years in w hich it
is of vital ini)ortance that every care
less, indiffL-reut or weak-kneed voter be
urged to go to the polls and vote the
straight Republican ticket. If this is
done, if every member of the County
committee and every earnest Republi
can in the county docs his full duty our
majority for Colonel Stone and the bal
ance of the ticket will exceed that giv
en Governor Hastings four 3'ears ago.
There is no reason why we should not
reach high-water mark this year and
make our uusjority 3,500. Get out the
vote.
Early in the campaign the Wana
maker organs started the lie that the
Republican State committee was try
ing to defeat the re-election of Hon. C.
W. Stone to Congress. This falsehood
was effectually exploded when the Re
publican candidate for Governor and
the speakers sent out by the State com
mittee went into his (Stoue's) district
and spoke for him and with him from
the same platform. It now seems that
one S. Marshall Williams, formerly a
member of the State Legislature from
Bedford county, has been over in Blair
county working in the interest of the
Democratic candidate for Congress in
this district, which fact has afforded
Mr. Wanamaker and his organs anoth
er opportunity to lie, and they have
not been slow to avail themselves of it.
and have been charging that Mr. Will
iams is in the employ of the Republi
can State committee. That this is a lie.
I ur and simple, and a foolish one at
that, is apparent to a large majority of
the Republicans of the district who
know how zealously Chairman Elkin
and the State organization are working
for the election of Mr. Thropp, as well
as lor the election of every other R -publican
candidate for Congress in the
State.
In a recent speech in Altoona Mr.
Wanamaker preferred a number of
charges against Mr. Williams, among
w hich was the following :
"I make the specific charge ,hat one P.
Marshall Williams, at present a Republi
can member of the Legislature from Bed
ford county, and the Quay leader of that
section, i now in the employ ot the Dem
ocratic Chairman to defeat Mr. Thropp,
yoar Republican nominee from this Dis
tricC'' Mr. Williams sent a written denial of
these charges to the Johnstown Trib
une, in referring to which that paper
says:
"In answer to this Mr. William explic
itly states that be is In the employ of no
person or committee Democratic or Re
publicanand declare that Mr. Wana
maker baa either been misinformed or
deliberately lies. Each of the numerous
statement made by Mr. Wanamaker in
the address referred to .'a taken up in turn
BDd an explicit denial given, with a chal
lenge to the merchant to substantiate hia
assertions.
"All of which leads the impartial ob
server to conclude that Mr. Wanamaker
on the occasion in question was talking
through his hat, as be very frequently
does. lie may hare "heard" the minora
which he declared front the Altoona plat
form, but certainly no man with a regard
fo: his word should take up a romor and
turn it into a positive assertion on hia
own responsibility, as he seems to have
done on this occasion. M r. Williams' an
swer is entirely proper in his own defense
and in justice to Senator Quay, and
should have the same circulation aa the
charge against them."
Rational and Btat limes.
From the Pittiirjurg Tiruea.
The very fact that the Democrat of
Pennsylvania desire to ignore national
issue in this campaign ought to count
against them. It show that they are
ashamed and afraid cf their doctrines
and want to keep them in the back
ground, while appealing to the intelligent
people of Pennsylvania, who have so em
phatically repudiated their heresies.
-Oh ! no," they say, "no National issue ;
keep them in the background.
That
will I the cry op to the day of election :
but should the people of the Slate be
foolish enough to listen to such argu
ments, and by reason thereof intrust tbera
with power, the result, the morning after
election, would become the biggest kind
of a National issue. It would be shouted
from Maine to California that the great
Kepubliean stronghold of Pennsylvania
bad faltered in her allegiance and bad
joined the Democratic column. Every
jackrabl.it statesman in the wild and
woolly West would throw up his hat and
pitch it with renewed rest to whoop up
the free silver campaign of l'JUO.
The cute Democratic Greeks who are
trying to sneak into the Republican
Troy, concealed in the wooden horse of
Stave issues, would drop that at once
and shout themselves hoarse over the
great victory for cheap money. It would
have such an erfect that we would in all
probability have to tight that fight over
again, to the great detriment of business
and destruction of confidence. The
moment it was announced that Pennsyl
vania had faltered in her allegiance on
every market in the world there would
I e a depreciation of American securities.
National issues are also State issues
aud local issues. Iu Pittsburg is not the
question whether our mills and factories
shall run or remain idle a local issue,
and a big aud vital one T Isn't it a local
issue whether our mechanics shall starve
by the thousands or have full employ
ment and good wages? Was it State
legislation that produced the former
stale of affairs in ISO, aud was it State
legislation that reversed that aud gave
us our present prosperity ? A re our mem
ories so short that we cannot recall those
local issues, which were produced at
Washington and not at UarrisburgT In
ignoring what they call National issue,
the Democrats pass by and attempt to
cover up the State issues which are of the
supreiuest importance to the people of
this Commonwealth. This is a nation
it life is a national life, aud the vital
question which concern ns are not stop
ped by the imaginary line which enclose
the States.

Spain Accepts th Terms Propoaed by
United States.
Us
It is announced that the peace negotia
tions in Paris are now proceeding satis
factorily and that Spain ha accepted the
terms of the United Slates in regard to
the Cuban debt and other matter within
the province of the joint commission ex
cepting the disposition of the Philippine.
The Philippines question comes np next.
The articles of the protocol settled are:
The cession of Porto Kico to the United
States; the relinquishment of all sover
eignty over Cuba and dependent island
and the cession of Cuba to the United
States for it pacification and the estab
lishment of a stable government, thi
country assuming no portion of the Cuban
debt; the cession to the United States of
an island, Guam, iu the Lad rone group ;
the withdrawal of Spain's forces from the
western hemisphere which is now going
on.
The one article to be decided is that
providing that the United State shall oc
cupy and bold the harbor and city of
Manila and Subig bay until a peace com
mission determines the right of both
Spain and the United States in the Philip
pine. The negotiations were nearly wrecked
on the Cuban debt snag. The Americans
were unyielding in their refusal to ac
cept a single dollar of debt, despite the
threat of the Spaniards to break off the
proceedings. Finally, the Americans re
maining obdurate, Senor Montero Kioa,
head of the Spanish comraisson, tele
graphed his resignation to Madrid and af
fairs became extremely critical. Had hi
resignation been accepted, the other
Spanish commissioners would have fol
lowed suit and the peace negotiation
would have come to an abrupt end. This
result was averted by the action of the
queen regent in begging Rios to con
tinue. Asa last resort the Spanish commis
sioners begged for mercy, declaring that
should Spain be compelled to assume the
whole of the Cuban debt, it would mean
her utter financial ruin. This appeal waa
sent to President McKiuley and resulted
in the midnight cabinet meeting in Phil
adelphia Tuesday nik'bt. The president
and bis advisors decided again that Spain
must assume the debt, and the Spanish
commissioners yesterday were forced to
accept the inevitable.

results did not warrant the H00 per day

TROOPS REVIEWED
BT THE PRESIDENT,
Host
Brilliaat and Spcctaealar Psgeaat
Witnessed ia Xaay Years.
25,000 XES WEM 19 USE.
Philadelphia, October 27. For three
hour to-day William McKinley, commander-in-chief
of the United States
army and navy, saw his victorious sons
pass in review before bira.
It was military and naval day of the
great peace jubilee. Twenty-five thous
and wen marched in the most brilliant
and spectacular pageant the country ha
witnessed iu many years.
Within a semicircular enclosure of the
big review.ng stand in the magnificent
court of honor, the President stood erect
and uncovered throughout the entire pro
cession. Over the President's head hung a can
opy bearing on it face the coat of arms
of the United States, and surmounted by
the new President's flag, for the first time
unfurled in the United States. The f.ag
wns oBly recently adopted by the War
Department. To the left, of the stand was
the ooa' of arms of Philadelphia.
At 11:25 o'clock the platoon of the emer
gency corps, which held the head of the
line, reached the stand, and from then
until 2:30 o'clock the soldiers and sailors
tramped on in splendid order, every
sword raised in salute, every eun pre-
senfd.
Many illustrious heroes were n line,
but there waa little partiality displayed
in the kind and quality of enthusiasm ac
corded them.
Major General Miles, aa chief marshal,
rode at the front, immediately behind the
emergency corps, until be leached bis
special reviewing stand at Broad and
York street, the northern end of the
route. Here he dismounted, and from
the stard watched bis men file past.
General "Joe" Wheeler rode behind
the governors, hi gray head bared for
some minutes before and after the presi
dential stand was reached, and Isiwiitg
repeatedly to the president's waving hat
and the applause of the others of the
party and the people generally.
General Sumner, Captain "Bob" Evan,
Commodore Philip, Captain Sigsbee,
Colonel Huntingdon, with his marine of
Guautanamo fame,' all received tumult
uous greeting, but, after all, perhaps the
loudest ovation via that given Hobson
and his Merriiuac crew. They rode on a
tally-bo and as they reached the review
ing stand all rose, faced the president and
bowed their bared heads.
So far aa any one body of men were
concerned, perhaps the Twenty first reg
ular iufantry, '"The President's Own,"
received the greatest tribute. They
marched 300 strong, uuder Colonel Me
Kibbin, and the memory of their valorous
deed at the storming of San Juan Hill
stirred the people to a thunderous clatn r
of applause. These are the men who,
with comrade dropping all around them
in the flame aud fury of a Spanish attack,
waded waist deep in water, forcing thei
foetuen back, and singing "The Star
Spangled banner," aa they fongLL
Of course the highest degree of local
enthusiasm was bestowed upon Colonel
Hillings and his Sixteenth Pennsylvania
regiment. His flank movement in the
fight at Coama, Porto Rico, had not been
forgotten. The presidential party joined
in the applause with equal Best.
The sailors were no less well received
than the soldiers. There were lines of
jackiea from the Texas, Gloucester, Mir
blehead. New Orleans, Topeka, May
flower, with a few scattering men from
the Yosemite, Yankee and other ships.
Passing the presidential stand the
troops marched in "company front"
formation, in three-step cadence, one
third faster than the regular time. In
nearly every instance the marching was
almost faultless.
Political Rote.
"Senator Quay has been helped rather
than hindered in hia great battle by a
prosecution instituted too late to be de
termined before the election, when all
the facts relied upon were as well known
to the as yet hidden prosecutor months
ago, as they are to-day." Philadelphia
Times, (Deui )
.
An attempt to distort the fact quite as
dastardly aa the recent attack upon Sena
tor Quay ia thus mentioned by the Easton
r ree Pre :
The effort to make it appear that there
were considerable state funds in the Ger
man National Bank of PitUburg, which
ha closed its doors, and that it la another
People' Bank affair, fall flat, for the aim
pie reason that there were no state fund
in the bank. What is more, the bank
will, according to report, pay doliar for
dollar.
Had it been another People's Bauk af
fair wherein would the stale have suffer
ed ? The state lost nothing there.
V hetber the bauk pays dollar for dol
lar, as we hope it will, is also another
question. That has to do with the de
positors, directors aud officers of the bank
and the federal statutes and official.
Aud in the interim, (be effort to make
political capital out of that failure, like
the too late-to be tried case against Sens
trQ'iay, merely demonstrates the des
peration of the enemies of the Republi
can party, and furnishes another reason
why the campaign liars should be rebuk
ed at the polls. Philadelphia Inquirer.
Opinioa of aa Eminent JurUt
Ballot reform in New York waa nece
sary, says an eminent jurist, beciuse
mere politicians by trade who had no in
terest in government or politics excxpt to
enrich themselves sought perpetual a -n
trol. There are other excellent reforms
besides that of the ballot. Conspicuous
among them is the reform, promptly and
thoroughly effected, in a disordered phys
ical syHtein by Hosteller'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
tbenerves. This sterling medicine, which
has for near half a century won because
it deserves popular favor, is commended
by physicians of eminence who accord it
their approval, not only for iu excellent
qualities in a remedial capacity, but also
for iu serviceable properties aa a medic
inal stimulant. It soothes and strength
ens the nerves, and is far preferable to the
beady, nnmedicated stimuli of commerce.
Remedy for Hog Choltre.
Vash!iutox, D. C, Oct. 27. During
the past two years the Department of
Agriculture has conducted a series of ex
perimenu In the use of serum aa a remedy
fir bogs affected by cholera or swine
plague, the reaulu proving; that the
dreaded disease can be successfully treat
ed, easily and Inexpensively.
The losses suffered by the formers of
the United State annually from bog
cholera aggregate an enormous num. In
Iowa alone in PU it i estimated that
the bog raisers lost through the ravages
of distse II5.OU0.O00.
Dr. Salmon, chief of the Bureau of
Anima' Industry, says. "There is no
question of the effectivenea of the seium
treatmeiL Our operations have been
viewed with scepticism, but the serum
treatment for hog cholera is no longer an
experiment. It ia a proved sueoeaa, and
nnd xibtedly will aave to the farmers of
the United State uiilliou of dollars
every year."

Penrose Confers With the President
on the Political Situation.
LOOKS TO PENNSYLVANIA.
Exceedingly Anxious That the Vote for th
Kepubliean Party Shall Emphasii tas
Feeling of th American People
Toward His Administration.
United States Senator Penrose had a
talk with President McKinley during
the latter' visit to Philadelphia on the
occasion of the peace Jubilee and found
him greatly interested in the political
situation. The president, while re
fraining from making political speeches
on his recent trfp west, showed a nat
ural curiosity in conferring with his
friends regarding the coming elections.
He is anxious that he shall have a Re
publican congress at his back in the
settlement of the many problems grow
ing out of the war. and that the vote
f the doubtful or debatable states next
I Tuesday shall indicate u popular sen
timent in favor of his aamtmsirauon.
CHAT WITH PENROSE.
In eommenting upon his talk with
the president Senator Penrose said
among ether things:
"I found him as serene and self com
posed as though not the central figure
in the nation. He seems to believe
that it is impossible for a people so
intelligent as the American people to
falter in devotion to the government
at a time like this.
"We are on the verge of a crisis more
important than any heretofore in our
history, for, while In past times we
have been absorbed in domestic af
fairs, our country stands today on the
verge of empire. Already the Repub
lican party, in spite of a strong Demo
cratic opposition in the senate, backed
by a powerful lobby, has achieved the
annexation of Hawaii. Porto Rico has
been added to our territory, with Its
1.000.000 people. We shall have control
of Cuba for the time and we shall re
tain the Philippines, for, wherever the
American flag has been raised at the
expense of American blood it shall not
be lowered.
'The Republican party is construc
tive and it will not fail, but do you
understand .that at this trying time a
change of 23 votes would change the
complexion of the house of represent
atives, inviting the disaster that would
follow from a Democratic congress
with a Republican president. For use
In the contest of 100 the Democrats
will make capital of what mistakes
have been made, if any.
"The nation looks to Pennsylvania to
sustain the president, and. speaking
advisedly. I tell you that she will give
William A. Stone more than 150,000 ma
jority. What can be said to destroy
confidence in Colonel Stone, a self made
man, brought up on a farm, who aa
a boy shouldered his musket?
"The Republican party has a record
to be proud of, notwithstanding the
malignity and spite of men who go
throughout the state to deceive the
people. But the common sense of the
people will denounce their falsehoods.
SWALLOW AND WANAMAKER.
"If ever a deliberate, disingenuous
attempt to deceive the people was un
dertaken it Is to be found In the speech
es of Swallow and Wanamaker. I
would not be disposed to stand In the
defense of guilty men. but they have
deliberately distorted the facts with the
purpose of deceiving the people.
"Wanamaker charges that State
Chairman Elkin has said that the peo
ple pay the state no taxes, and attacks
him for it. Mr. Elkin has rever made
any such statement. What he did say
was that the railroads and corporations
pay the state taxes, r.nd that each
county, with the exception of Philadel
phia, receives again from the state
more money thrn it pays Into the state.
But it Is Impo-.sible to argue with a
man like Wana.naker, because he is a
political charlatan and crank, more
dangerous than 31oody Bridles Waite,
or any other crank that a western state
has ever brought Into prominence.
"You realize how this unwarranted
local agitation, imperiling the safety
of the legislature, may endanger the
United States senate.
SWALLOW HAS NO SHOW.
"The campaign is drawing to a close.
The Swallow tide is at its ebb. A vote
for Swallow is a vote for Jenks. The
Democrats who are disposed toward
Swallow are now returning to a united
assault on Republicans, and I hope
that the few Republican followers of
Swallow will net throw away theii
votes upon him. but return to theli
party. Apart from this, though, we do
not want a hysterical, untruthful and
absolutely unbalanced crank for gov
ernor. I take the ground that not in
his past record or his present conduct
do we find anything qualifying him for
the governorship. The contemplation
of Swallow as governor, under the
clack shadow of Wanamaker, is too
dreadful for sensible men to entertain.
The Republican party is large enough
for reform within its own lines. The
president of the United States appeal?
to you to support and sustain him
and not allow the pettifogger, slanderer
and office seeker to imperil the great
policies of state."

Tli AavU Bird.
At dusk in the wilds of the gloomy
frazilian forest you will think it
I. range to hear the clink cf a hammer
(.n an anvil. Tto would imagine that
yon were approjehing some- settlement,
and the picture cf the ruddy glow ol
the forge would come np before your
eyes.
lint if your guide were a native, he
would tell yon that the sonnd was made
by a campanero, a tbey call it, al
Ijongh to foreigners it is known as the
i nvil bitd.
This bird is a Lttle larger than a
thrnsh. The plumage is perfectly white,
the eyes are a pale gray color, aud the
Daked throat and skin around the eye
are of a Cue bright green, while its
more northerly relative U orange and
black, very much like our oriola
It is generally in the early part of the
djy that the canipanero sends forth the
woudetfal note that can be heard at a
distance of three miles. Marvelous in
deed must be the mechanism of the vo
cal organs of so small a bird to produce
so farreaching a note, but there is no
donbt of the fact, for many travelers
have heard the strange sound uttered
by the bird when perched on the top
rccst branch of some withered tree.

Members of the Union League Speak
Forcibly to Pennsylvania
Eepublicans.
"THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE."
A Significant and Timely Declaration From
Hen Who Take a Patriotic View of the
Solemn Duty Which Every Voter Will
Be Called Upon to I'trform in a Few
Days.
Inspired by the patriotic scenes of
jubilee week, no doubt, and realizing
the fact that the Democratic leaders
are making a still hunt campaign In
the hope of catching Republicans nap
ping in the present contest in Penn
sylvania, a number of leading mem
bers of the I'nion League, of Philadel
phia, have united in a warning address
to Republicans of Pennsylvania. Presi
dent McKinley was a guest of the
Union League on his recent visit to the
Quaker City and had a number of con
fidential talks on the situation with
intluential gentlemen in that famous
organization which since the days of
the reriellion has been the home of
patriotism and a bulwark of Republi
canism. The members of no other cluh
in the country did more toward the
election of William McKinley to the
presidency by their quiet and effective
work with the business Interests In
the doubtful states, and they are to
day alive to the alarming conditions
that confront the McKinley adminis
tration. Here Is the timely, pointed and terse
manner In which these gentlemen now
tddress the voters of this state:
Stop! Think! Then vote.
Don't wait until after yon have voted be
fore you think.
Stand by McKinley I
Stand by the flag !
No Bincere, earnest Republican will,
by his vote, aid the Swallow-Wanamaker
conspiracy to turn Pennsylvania
over to the enemies of President Mc
Kinley and his splendid administra
tion. The heroes of Manila and Santiago
shot straight. Let Republicans in
Pennsylvania VOTE STRAIGHT. Don't
be a guerrilla!
A vote against Colonel William A.
Stone for governor ia a vote to em
barrass the McKinley administration
and in approval of the scheme con
cocted In Washington by enemies of
the Republican party to carry New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa
against the McKinley foreign policy,
sr to materially cut down the Republi
can majority in those states.
A vote against a Republican nominee
for the legislature la a vote for a free
silver, antl-McKinley United States
senator to be elected by the legislature
in January next.
.Beware of the deceitful cry of "state
issues" by the use of which the attempt
Is being made to turn Pennsylvania
over to free silverit-?s. Prohibition ex
tremists and disgruntled Republicans.
Let EVERY REPUBLICAN DO HIS
DUTY, and by his vote repudiate the
campaign of assassination which has
been waged against Republican leaders
and Republican candidates. Forever
set the seal of disapproval upon Span
ish methods of warfare as applied to
Pennsylvania politics.
Stand by McKinley I
Stana by the flag !
While this is a plain, simple note of
admonition from members ot an or
ganization which, better than any other
body in the state, represents the solid
business interests ot the common
wealth, with Its active and correspond
ing memberships in every county, it is
conceded by the political leaders to be
the most concise and effective politi
cal document that has been issued in
the present canvass. It is regarded aa
especially important and significant
by reason of the fact that the men who
are responsible for it are numbered
among the warmest personal friends
and staunchvst supporters of the presi
dent. They, n.ore than anyone else
outside ot hia cabinet, are in a posi
tion to know his keen inUrest in the
coming election and of the anxiety he
ha for Republican success in every
contested district and state, that it
shall go forth to the world with em
phasis that the American voters have
sustained him and can be relied upon
to stand by his administration in any
crisis.
star-at-home republicans are u
Istant Democrats. If It take lit
tle tronbls to Ki t to the polls, vonr
Tote I of that mnch more Import
ance. It Is of value to the Republi
can party and to the nation.- Remem
ber that it Tuesday. November 8.
I election day.
I
The State Senator and the State
Representative who are elected next
Tuesday, will, la January next, vote
la the leirlslatnre for a Co I ted State
Senator. Stand by the Republican
nominee and thus Insure the sending
of a Republican to the Vnlted Mates
