Tli nrimarv camnaiirn which will clotfl on Saturday will go down luto history as the most remarkable, in many respects, ever conducted in Somerset county. From tbe time of the organ izxtiou of the Republican party down to tue year oi Our 1tA Oiia Thousand Kipht Hundred and Ninety-nine it bad been tbe unbro ken custom for a primary election to be held in the SDrine of each vear. at which the voters, each exercising bis right as a Ttennlilican and an American freeman. selected candidates for the various offices to be filled at theensumg fall election. This year a. few selRwnstituted, arro gant "bosses, " chief among them being S. U. Shober. George F. Kiiuuiell and J. A. Berkey, rilled with vanity, and puffed up In their wn conceit by a little tempo rarv Dower which the voters in au un thinking moment had given them, fool ishly concluded that these voters had sur rendered their dearest rights into their hands tbat they were the Republican party of Somerset county and that all they bad to do was to call a secret meet ing of a few of their lesser and fellow- hlllues.', "onmutre notes" announ-e their ticket, and the people, the foolish. ignorant people, alter a few lessons on Intelligent votincr." by that scholarly statesman and eminent jurist," Ex-Asso ciate Judge D. J. Horner, and a few able assistants, wou'.d kindly vote it, and ever after return thanks to them for having slated a ticket, learning" them bow to vote it, and thereby saving them the un told trouble and annoyance of selecting their own candidates, and making their own choice of "rulera whom they wished to rule over them." " With this thoueht in view, at the out- start of tbe campaign they sent to their few chosen friends the following invita tion to the now famous "compare notes" meeting: Somerset, Pa., April 20.

The wording and signatures of the above will bear close inspection. It will be observed that nothing is said about the organization ora "McKinley League," tbe "Seven Months School Term," "Extravagant State Expenditures," or other matters which tbe signers are now professing to be so deeply interested in. but "it has been thought it would be well for us to cjwpttrt note to political m-ittn g in the county." In other words, "We must force all candidates from the field, by threats or otherwise, save one tbat we may select for each office. We must do this quietly and secretly, for we have been crying against 'ring rule and bossism so successfully that we dare not let the people kuow that we are doing just what we have all these years been charging others with doing." As to tbe names, no comments need be made : ej. U. Shober, H. F. Barron, D. J. Horner, W. U. Koouti, F. J. Kooser and then "Blanche," "Tray" "Sweet heart," and tbe balance of the little fel lows.

The Hkralo has an abiding fath in tbe intelligence, atriotisin and good common, sense of tbe Republican voters of Somerset county, and contemplates with absolute serenity tbe result of this most remarkable and novel of all pri mary campaigns in the history of Som erset county politics. A " DEMOCBATIC K0XIHATI05S. Exciting Seen in ths Coavsation Charges of Fraud sua Ballot-box Starting a ..4a. John Waeaman, of Northampton town ship, and C. C. Lichliter, of Salisbury borough, were nominated for Couuty Commissioner and County Auditor re spectively at the Democratic primary Saturday. v The primary was one of the most fierce ly fought in the history of local Demo cratic politics and tbe vole between Wagaman and bis next highest compet itor, Joseph B. Miller, of Jefferson towu tthip, was so close that the result was not definitely known until Monday morning hen returns were received from an tne districts. Wagamau'a majority Is 60. Lichliter bad uo opposition. Charges of fraud and ballot-box stuff ing filled the air Sunday aud Monday morning, but the red hre was not burnt until the convention met Monday after noon. W. H. Hay, of Meyersdale, was elected Chairman of tbe convention and everything moed along without ajar until a motion was offered admitting a. L. G. Hay, Esq., to the floor of the con vention as a substitute for a delegate from Meversdale. Tbe motion was opposed on the grounds that the rules do not pro vide for the admission of substitute dele gates and the vote following resulted in a tie. The Chairman, who had tbe deciding vote, voted in favor of admitting bis son as a substitute for the Meyersdale ab sentee, and Mr. Hay was given a seat among tbe delr gates. The can vass of the vote proceeded qu l etly antil Somerset borough was reach ed. SubMtitute-Deiegatt) Hay entered a vigorous protest against tne aamissiou oi tbe vote, and read an affidavit signed by ten or twelve Democratic voters of Som erset borough, who affirmed that they bad cast their votes for John W agaman, whereas only eight votes were returned for him by the election board. Mr. Hay also stuck ed the legality of the vote re turned from a number of other districts. Excitement was at fever beat when County Chairman Chas. F. Uhl., Jr., took tbe fl r and asked Mr. Hay not to Dress bis resolution. Mr. Uhl's remarks were conciliatory. He pointed out that Hav'a friends had secured the nomina tion of their favorite and the result of the resolution, if pressed, would be a contest n tbe courts. He deplored tbe conditions confronting tbe convention and asked that wise counsel might prevail. He was followed by Gen. Coffroth, who spoke alongthe same lines. Hay aaid ne would not press his resolution, but gave notice that criminal prosecutions would be brought against election officers whom he named and denounced. Before the convention adjourned Mr. Hay renewed his attack on tbe alleged fraud practiced at the election, specifying large number of districts, and onereu resolution denouncing tbe same. Tbe Hi kkald learns tbat tbe election officers of one of the districts named io the reso lution notified tbe Democratic Chairman that If the resolutions were made public he would immediately bring a prosecu tion for libel. The following nominations were made Thv the convention : Sheriff Edward Nicklow, of Addison township. Prothonotary Joseph Levy, with the Tenth Pa. Vol., at Manila. Register and Recorder Howard Cromwell, w ith the Tenth Pa. Vol., at Manila. Treasurer Alfred Knepp, of Larimer t,iwnshiD. Poor Director N. B. Poorbaugh, of X ortbatnpton township.

Mr. Barron, whose maiden name was Friedline, was one of those gentle spirits whom everybody loved. When sha united with the Church she gave her heart to Christ, and walked with God all throueh her long life.

We pledge ourselves if elected to the ifiicv tff County Commissioner to let bridge contracts, and all other oon truets involving the expenditure of any eonsid rahle amount of money, to the lowest bidder.

We pledge ourselves not to reduce the valuation of real estute or improved property, for favored indi viduals or friends and we solemnly pledge ourselves to perform the duties f County Commissioner at a cost to the taxjwyers not exceeding $6oo each annually. We served in the Union Army dur ing the civil war in defense of our (summon country, and we now pro ixwe, if the Republican voter are wil ling, to serve three years in the in terest of the taxpayers of our native count v. It is needless for us to point out how county expenditures liave been in creased, and unneeesrsnrily increased, hiring the past ten years. How the work io the Commissioners' office has Imh neglected ; how contracts for county bridges, involving the expendi ture of large sums of money, bave all cell let iu tret ; how thousands of dollars wrung from the taxpayers have Un squandered on tin boxes and tlier unnecessary and useless furni ture for the court house; how inter- est-laring ordeiv have been outsland- ng for years wh5i the Treasury is full of money : how valuations have len reduced for alleged jsilitical pur poses ; how valuations were only last year increased to the utmost limit, when the county was practically free of debt and there w as n j necessity for additional county revenue, and how the increase wa-s partly removed when the scheme worked in the Commission ers' office was excised.

Poor Directors Shumaker and Miller are busy telling their friends how one feels in a railroad wreck. They left Pittsburg for home Friday morning after an official visit to Dixmont. When about nine miles from McKeesport their train collided with a lot of loaded coal cars standing on a sidetrack, the switch of which had been left open. The engineer and fireman saved their Hvas by jumping from the engine moving at a speed of thirty-five miles an hour, but the man at the switch was mangled and died be fore medical aid reached him. Tbe en gine. baggage and expreits cars were totally wrecked, while tie passenger coaches were shattered and splintered. Outside of a bad shaking up none of the passengers were injured. , Mr. 8. 8. Forney, of Brothersvalley township, was informed on Saturday last by Internal Revenue Collec or Fruit of his appointment to the position of U.S. Storekeeper and G auger. Mr. B. D. Mor gao, of Meyersdale, has also been noti fied by Collector Fruit that he will be appointed to a responsible po-itiou in the revenue service shortly after July 1st. Both appointees are Stalwart Republi cans, popular and deserving members of the party, and were endorsed for ap pointment by Senator Penrose. Quite a number of other appointments in tbe I revenue service, due this county, will be made between now and August 1st. Tha appointments are made possible under tha reNtnt rhann In the civil aervioe ' rules made by order of President Mo- ' KInley. FoSUle!

P6rhsp "Daufiy" will deliver the speech Assemblyman Koontx whs. ex pected to make against lbs ex teas ion of the school term in tb State Convention. It is rumored over about Meyersdale that certain representatives of bridge firms are taking an a t'.i part for certain candidates. They doubtless have their reasons for doing so. Republican are isuiMoimmI against 1st lievlng atatemeuts that certain candidate have voluntarily withdrawn from the field. A few wore kicked off ths track at the "compare notes" meeting. Hoover and Rowe will vote for inajori ly'rule and will loyally support the nom inees of tbe State Convention. Can the same be said of Horner and Boose, who are casting rejections upon tbe Repub lican party. The idea of seudiug D. J. Horner as a delegate to the State Convention on the ground that he will vote against extrava ganl State expenditures is simply prepos terous in view of the record "Danny" has made at home. Candidate Emert has this advantage over his competitor in addition to hav ing beeo "endorsed" by the "compare notes" "bosses" lie is receiving almost f 100 a month from the taxpayers while he is making bis canvass. When tbe"comparenote""bosse"come to fulfill their promises of position they will have numerous more pegs than boles. We have beard of at least four gentlemen who believe that they have a lead pipe cinch on the Commissioners' clerkship. The violent and slanderous attacks made on'James B.

Saylor has conducted his campaign hon orably, has refrained from attacking the character of his competitors, and t he great mass of Republican voters will say by their ballots which is most worthy of support. "Joe" Davis, the Somerset township farmer, who went into the Elk Lick mining region fo- the purpose of dis seminating false attacks on the character and integrity of James B. Saylor, candi date for Sheriff, admitted that he was re peating mere rumors, which he was doubtless paid to do. Four citizens of Summit township have testified to this under oath. The committee of Meyersdale miners sent to Listie to inquire into the truth of the charges made against James B. Say lor, candidate for Sheriff, learned that every Republican miner at Listie with two exceptions, denies the cowardly accu sations brought against him. The Listie miners are for Saylor and the Meyersdale committee carried this cheering newa to their comrades. It is a matter of regret that Assembly man Koontz did not stand as a candidate for delegate instead of eutering bis ubiquitous shadow, who has run the gamut of county offices on thescoreof his Republicanism, and who is now heartily opposed to the Republican principle of majority rule. Horner and Boose attend ed tbe "coin pare notes" meetingand were parties to dictating a suite for Repu blicaLS to vote. A comparison of the records of Ex- Sheriff Hoover and Ex-Associate Judge, Ex-Prothonotary, Ex-Register and Re corder, Ex-Commissioners Clerk, Ex- Revenue Storekeeper Horner is interest- ng. The former retired from office with tbe good will and hearty approval or every taxpayer in the county. The lat ter, who should have amassed a large fortune while he was In office by the grace of Republicans votes, is now wil ling to bite the hand tbat fed him. From almost every district in the coo nty come reports of secret political caucuses held by "members of the executive committee" appointed at the "compare notes" caucus, where plans are secretly laid for controlling Republican votes. At a meeting held last week in the Wal nut Hill School House, between Stoyes- town and Jenners, seulinels were placed on tbe road to watch the approach ol farmers and taxpayers who might be passing along the public highway, and when any such appeared tbe light la the building was promptly extinguished un til after they had passed and were out of sight. Members of the "executive com mittee" seem to be ashamed of their secret plotting against Republican candi dates. The county has been fl xxled from one end to tbe other with circulars calling upon Republieana to vote for D. J. Horn er and J. R. Boose for Delegates to tbe State Convention, on the ground tbat "a vote for Homer and Boose is a vote against past mismanagement and a vote for a better future of the Republican party in Pennsylvania." In view of Mr. Horner's past record, it would seem tbat he is the proper candidate to place on tbe above hypercritical platform. During tbe five year "Danny" was on tbe bench be drew $1,500 from tbe State Treasury for his services, more than twice as much as was received by any other Associate Judge in the State, with tbe exception of his colleague Associate Judge Black who last year received $1,098 : for his services and mileage. Associate Judges Shaver, Walker, Mc- Millen and others were content to receive from $J00 to $400 annually for precisely similar services. Talk about "Danny Horner voting "against past mismanage ment." Bosh ! The sUtement of the "bosses" that Assemblymen Koontx and Kendall "op posel the seven mouths schol term in the educatioual committee, on the floor of the House, and by their votes as the legislative record shows," is balderdash and can not be nrovea by the record. If Mr. Koontz opposed the school bill, or "dodged," the legislative reord d e n.jt so record him. Tbe record simply gives the total vote and does not designate how the members voted, and it was doubtless for this reason tbat Assemblyman Koontz provided himself with a certified copy of the journal in order to convince doubtiug ones tbat he bad voted against tbe bill. He did not appear against the bill before the Committee on E lucation and bs did not apeak against tbe measure when it was before the House, nor did he ask tbe Governor to veto it when it bad passed finally. If Assemblyman Koontz pos sesses the peerless power of oratory bis friends accord bim, why did he not voice the earnest protest of his constitu ents when he had the opportunity, aud why does he now go around tbe county making scboolhouse addresses, which should bave been made on the floor of the House at Harrisburg. Will his bosom friend Horner deliver his,Koontz's BDeech. against the school bill In tbe State Convention? A letter received by Mr. John Beck, of Fairnope township, from his son, Thomas J who U a member of the Sixth U. S. Regulars, will prove interesting to many of our readers: The letter, which was wrtteuon May 23, on board the trans port Sheridan, one day out from Hono lulu, is as follows. "We left San Fran Cisco on the 22J and are due at Honolulu to morrow, where we will remain for day before proceeding to Manila. The entire trip will occupy about 34 days. I was dreadfully seasick for four or five dsys, but am now in good shape. Ou shin is heavily stocked and we have barely enough room to move about. Presume we will be rushed right into the firing line as soon as we arrive at Manila. Ever since the Sixth made the gallant charge in front of Santiago it has been known as the 'Regiment of tbe Iron Front.' When I was at Fort Hunter I went over the ground where grandfather Beck fought against the Mexicans, and by tbe way tbey are still a treacherous lot of people. Four of our men were killed in a row at San Antonio." Liberties of this PeocleThreafened By Oath Bona! Keortt Folilksl Orgtniis tioo Formed by Political OpiUrti. MoKISLET LEAGUES" S0CHD8 THE "Why doesn't tbe Ukhai.h ventilate the McKinley league f" inquired s prom inent member of tbe kemi'Swret politics! urder rdcW.ly orjj m 1 1 in ih'it.wa. Not being an ifliluted member cf the that ail ths Information he bad been able League, the reporter was oliliced to admit to gather of iUi ol.jocLs, aiim and mi tli'xln calue frttiu tbimu wbobxd Ishiii duped into attending tbe Somerset meeting and were heartily disgusted with what they heard and saw there. "Well, I want to tell you," continued tbe McKinley l-eaijuer, "tbat tbe League is closely allied to, if not identical with, tbe oatu-bound band a lot of politil up a tarts of Somerset started out to form a few years siooe, but which failed to de velop a county organization until a abort time ajro. This oath-bound society had concocted the most damnable con spiracy against the freedom of the people of Somerset oounty that could be conceiv ed in the brains of men. Its object was not ouly to gain control of all the county offices, but of the judiciary ; to fill the jury wheel with men of its choosing, aud to name all appointive officers at tbe dis posal of the court, aud minor county offi cials. "Tbe first step was the as)iointmeut of one, two, three, four or five 'bead-men' a position equivalent hi that of member of tbe executive committee of the Mclviu ley League for each election district, as Its population and political complexion might demand. To the 'bead-man' or member of the executive committee was to be given the privilege of naming all the road and bridge viewers, all names to be placed in the jury wheel, all Cousta bles. Assessors, Tax collectors and town ship officers, in case vacancies should oc- Lcur. By this means it was proposed to bave every district in the county welded into a compact body, which should be presided over by a controlling dictator, here in Somerset, who, with the aid of oneor two unscrupulous assistants, would carry tbe scheme to full fruition. "As I said before, if the conspirators who for a number of years have been seeking to secure control of all the county offices, aud wh t have now undeniably se cured full coutrol of the Independent or ganization of tbe county, are permitted to carry out tbelr scheme, tbe voters of Somerset county will be a mere body cf vassals in the hands of a few cunning men, who will deprive them of every lib rty and privilege b which they are enti tled under the law. This may sound like mere clap-trap. and many well-disposed persons may say that it is the idle creation of individual fancy, but to all sucb I would say that it is not a matter of fancy at all, but, ou tbe other hand, is au alwolute fact, and that the intrigue not only contemplates ac complishing the devilish purposes I bave enumerated, but includes the control ot the county court, the elevation of one of its members to the pition of President udge, and tbe retirement ol old, experi enced political leaders to private life. "It is an alluring scheme, hatched in the brains of two or three political up starts, who have wormed their way into the confidences of the leaders of the In dependent Republioin organization, and who have already laid their plana to run the kr.ife into every man who stands in the way of defeating their selfish ambi tion. Political, business, or social ties cut no figure in their calculations. Tbey have outlined and adopted a course, and will trample under their feet the men who have been innocently duped into assist- ng them to sharpen their treacherous knives. "The facts as I have given tbem to you are known to a large number of the intel- igent Republican voters of the county who, like myself, bave refused to be longer ideutilied with au organization tbe sole object of which is to accomplish the selfish purposes of a handful of unscru pulous would-be leaders who are willing to betray their political associates, and who seek to place their heels on the necks of the free and liberty-loving voters of the county. I was rocked in a Republican cradle and claim to be as good a Republi- n to-day as any living mau ; I bave con- Lstently opposed what I construed to he bosHism,' and I can not, neither will I, submit to having the men who met in se cret in this town, a pre arranged by three or four political upstarts, dictate fwr whom I shall vote by handing me a card labeled Anti-Quay,' 'Ami-Scull,' and 'Anti- Boss,' whereas it should be lalieled 'An ti-Republican,' 'Anti-Principle,' and 'An- ti-The- People.' The day of dissolution of what has been known as the Independent Republi can organization in this ounty is near at band. The signs are multiplying, and hundreds of voters who have heretofore beeo identified with Independeuts bave withdrawn from that organization for the very excellent rtaam tbat it has fallen into the hands of dictatorial and selfish bosses who are simply fighting for their personal ends, and who have forsaken every object the Independeuts sought to obtain, both in county aud State."
