Thkke is no rearon wby any Iiepub
licau should be indifferent to the suc
cwwof bin party '8 candidates, Stale and
local, this j ear.
Is the yaehtiug encounter no doubt
remain as to the merits of the two
craft. The best boat has won fairly
and everybody should be satisfied.
The Democratic party ought to know
from its performance in Hawaii that
the American flag doesu't stay hauled
dow n. Tiie recreant party goes out and
the flag gots up aain.
Democratic papers have ceased to
ask the President to define his Philip
piue policy. They got more of an au
nwer on the recent tour than they want
and it is accompanied by the applause
of the people.
Senator Hoar made a speech last
week in which he said: "Kvery man
who knows President McKinley likes
him. Every man who knows him as
well as I do loves him." The Senator
does not flck by himself on McKinley.
Jaco:: Hay Brows, recently ap
pointed and commissioned a Judge of
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania by
Governor Stone, was on Saturday
e worn into office by Judge Livingston
at Lancaster.
He 18 a mighty queer Republican
who runs to do the bidding of a Demo
crat who has devoted all his efforts for
many years to the humiliation and de
feat of the Republican party and its
regularly-nominated candidates.
President McKinley made seven-ty-niue
speeches during his recent tour
of fifteen days, aud every one will read
as well a dozen years hence as when de
livered. In this respect he differs from
some whose ppeecb.es ia 1S93 are su
premely ridiculous in lS!r9
Carl Schvrz gave President Ltu-
coln the worst possible advice in the
worst possible way in ISO-, and as a
General was an utter fizzle. His as
sumption of superior wisdom about
"Mr. McKinley 's war" counts farnoth
iag with those who know the Schurz
record.
CoxjECTi RKs are beginning to ap
pear about the President's treatment of
Cuba in the message. Our first duty
there, according to the congressional
pledge, is to w that a stable govern
tnnt is established. It is safe to pre
dict that the military government w ill
r intiuue some time.
A -RTH Dakota paper rejoices be
cause the American people in 1.C se
lected a President "great enough to
meet all emergencies wisely, justly,
conservatively, determinedly, bravely
and patriotically." A mistake in ISiW
would have been a serious matter in
many other respects than the currency.
The prayers of Aguinaldo for the
success of the Democratic party do not
seem to have aroused any enthusiasm
for candidate Creasy. Possibly Aguin
aldo would pray a little harder if he
knew that Creasy'g opponent was a,
member of the gallant Tenth Penn
sylvania. TiiRoi tsH his counsel, D. T. Watson,
State-Senator William Flinn entered an
appearance in Common Pleas Court,
Pittsburg, on Thursday, in the suits
brought against him by the city of
Tittsburg to recovtr (118,0X10 public
funds alleged to have been borrowed
by him from the City Attorney's office
during the administration of W. C.
Morelaud and W. H. House.
Republican Committeemen, the size
of the n8joiity to be given the Repub
lican ticket in the county on Novem
ber 7th depends largely upon you. If
you will all exert yourselves actively
for the next two weeks in an effort tj
get out the full Republican vote you
can do wonders, and can succeed in roll
lag up a majority for the entire ticket,
State and county, that will compare
favorably with that usually given in a
presidential year. All that is needed
is to get out the vote.
There is a well-defined rumor cur
rent that a coalition has been entered
into within the last twenty-four hours
between the Democratic and certain
Insurgent leaders in the county where
by it is hoped to defeat a portion of the
Republican county ticket Whether
there is any truth in the rumor or not
it will be well for the candidates and
their friends to be on their guard, and
to spare no efforts ia seeing that every
straight Republican vote possible is
polled on November 7th.
It will strike the average citizen as
being somew hat remarkable when he
sees the names of certain more or It as
prominent gentlemen who have in the
past been elected to offices of honor
and profit and who are at the present
time candidates for political prefer
ment, conspicuous on a poster an
nouncing that they will bear the ex
pense incident to their edifying the
voters on the issues of the present cam
paign. William J. Bryan has been
accused of receiving pay for political
speeches. Is the free silver orator to
have imitators in Pennsylvania? It
might be well to charge an admission
fee, or pass around the bat for these
self sacrificing gentlemen.
Robebts, the Democratie-polygam lt
Congressman-elect from Utah, says he
will make a fight to take his seat. Un
doubtedly he wilL He kuew at the
lime he was nominated that if elected
there would be a movement to keep
him out of the House, He was told of
this during the canvass in which he
was elected. His party, though, took
the risk, believing that the Democrats
would carry the election, and thus let
Roberts have the seat The Democrats,
polygamous and non-polygamous, were
mistaken, however. The Republicans
will be in control of the House, and
though they will keep partisanship out
of the contest, there ia a strong chance
that the Democratic party will lose the
benefit of Roberta' presence and vote.
Every voter in the county, Republi
can, Democrat or Prohibitionist, should
make au effort to be present at the Re
publican mass-meeting to be held in
the court house Thursday evening of
next week. It is not often that the
people of this county have an opportu
nity of hearing speakers of national
reputation such as the four gentlemen
who will speak on that occasion, and
they should gladly take advantage of
it Penrose, Barnett, Elkin and Mc
Carrell, as spellbinders, are all names
to conjure with, and the voter who fails
to hear them will miss a great opportu
nity of bearing the absorbing political
issues of the day presented by past mas
ters in the art They should have an
immense audience and an enthusiastic
welcome.
It mi st be highly gratifying to the
few professed It? publicans in this coun
ty who have been political followers of
Mr. John Wanamaker t see thousands
of copies of his Philadelphia newspa
per distributed throughout the county
by hired Demrcratic agents in an effort
to injure the Republican ticket And
yet it was only lost year that a number
of gentlemen calling themselves Re
publicans traveled from Somerset to
Philadelphia to attend a meeting
of the "Business Men's League."
called for the purpose of nom
inating Mr. Wanamaker for Governor.
However, neither Mr. Wanamaker, his
Somerset followers, nor his North Am
erican can affect the Republican major
ity to any appreciable extent in Somer
set county.
At a meetino of the Republican
State Committee in Philadelphia Sat
urJary afternoon ex -Senator John I.
Mitchell, now President Judge of Ti
oga county, was selected as the succes
sor on the State ticket to Josiab R..Ad
ains, who withdrew his name as the
nominee for Judge of the Superior
Court Judge Mitchell is a gentleman
of unblemished character and will poll
the full party vote. He was elected to
the United States Senate in 1SS1, as a
compromise candidate between the reg
ular R-publicans, who were supporting
the caucus nominee, Henry W. Oliver,
and the bolters, who generally support
ed Galusba A. Grow. He is now serv
ing Lis second term as President Judge
of Tioga county. It is to be hoped that
the Republican workers of the State
and county will now devote themselves
to the task of getting out a full vote.
This is the skirmish for 1900, and the
majority this year should be as large as
possible. All that is necessary is to get
out the voie.
In his splendid speech at Lancaster
on Wednesday evening Lieutenant-
Colonel Barnett, the R-'publlcan can
didate for State Treasurer, defied the
Democrats who have been following in
the wake of Creasy to make good their
charges against the administration of
the State Treasury by the Republicans
and punctured these sham reformers
with a sharp sword of truth. Said the
young soldier:
"The Democrats claim that they
want to reform the State Treasury;
they charge that the Republicans have
done things in the past that they should
not, aud that abuses have prevailed.
They are careful to refer to all these
abuses in the past tense. They do not
say one word against the present ad
mi nist ration of the State Treasury.
They do not give a single instauce of
anything that is being done in that of
lie now that is not proper. Let them
drop the )ast and coiue down to the
present I call upon them to name the
favored bankers who now receive pub
lic money for private gain. I call upon
them to state specifically what corrupt
and systematic manipulations of State
funds are now going on. I call upon
them to state what amount of public
funds have been diverted to debauch
the elections and to aid the Republican
candidates, Lt them come out of the
backwoods of the past into the bright
:;ght of the present and meet us on live
issues if they can. Tiiey dare not.
While the Republican party is travel
ing on the through express train of
progress, the Democratic party Is crawl
ing along in the rear on the local
freight"
A poster has been issued in this
county over the name of J. A. Berkey,
Chairman of the Republican County
Committee, which ia unqualifiedly
false and grossly libelous of bis imme
diate predecessor in office, and is cal
culated ti injure the entire Republican
ticket in the eyes of the voters of the
county.
The poster alleges that Berkey's
predecessor refused to account for any
part of the funds received by him last
year as Chairman of the County Com
mittee. This is entirely false. Former
Chairman Berkley submitted his ac
counts to the Auditing Committee of
the Republican County Committee, the
only authority who could pass upon
them, who certified that they were
correct in every particular.
The poster also alleges that the can
didates for Prothonotary, Register and
Recorder and Sheriff (and it might
have included the Republican candi
dates for all of the offices to be filled at
the coming election ) "have neglected
to contribute anything toward the
necessary expenses of getting out the
vote and the holding of meetings."
County Cbairmau Berkey, when a
nominated candidate for office on the
Republican ticket, refused to contrib
ute towards the general election cam
paign expenses, as also did a majority
of the gentlemen who train with bis
clique who have been elected to office
by the Republican voters of this
county.
The Herald does not commend
nominated candidates for following the
example set by Chairman Berkey and
others, but we heartily congratulate
them upon the sagacity they have
shown in declining to contribute funds
for an alleged campaign conducted by
a Chairman who is identified w ith the
notorious Business Men's League,
which is at the present time in rebell
ion against the State ticket, or to place
Republican campaign funds in the
bands of a Chairman whose news
paper organs are iu a cowardly way
opposing the State ticket, and which
up to this time have not printed a line
in commendation of the excellent Re
publican county ticket And m st
especially do we congratulate them for
having declined to place their hard
earned money in the hands of an in
dividual who conducted a personally
vicious primary campaign against
them, and who asserted that at least
one of the Republican candidate
would not be permitted to discharge
the duties of the office to which he will
be elected on November 7lh next
The Republican voters of Somerset
county recently demonstrated In a
most emphatic manner that they had
had enough of the kind of politics
practiced by J. A. Berkey, and we feel
satisfied that under all the circum
stances they will approve the action
of the loyal Republicans nominated at
the June primary.

THE EIPUBLICAH COPSIY TICKET.
Composed of Eaergetio and B.e preieatative
11 embers of ths Party Should Eeeeivt
Every Eepublicaa Tot.
The Republicans of this county never
bad a better ticket to support than this
year and every voter who attended the
June primary should attend the election
on November 7th and vote the ticket then
nominated from top to bottom.
A vote for James B. Saylor, for Sheriff,
will be a vote for a sound Republican, a
typical Somerset county citizen and a
whole-souled gentleman. Those who
know Mr. Say lor need no words of com
mendation of him from the press, be
cause they know that he has risen to his
present pomtion through his personal
efforts; that his struggle for success
against adverse conditions has attracted
wide altentiou; and that he will prove
faithful to his trust as be has proven faith
ful to every obligation in life. The fact that
this is an "off year" politically is the best
reason why Mr. Saylor's friends should
rally to his support and give him a ma
jority as large as is usually given a Pres
idential candidate.
A vote for M. I). ReeLfor Prothonatary,
will be a vote for a representative sou of
Shade township, who has devoted twen
ty years of bis life to teaching in the pub
lic schools; an earnest Republican, a
christian gentleman and a worthy suc
cessor to the long line of gentlemen who
have preceded him in lbt important
oflice.
A vote for John S. Shafer, for Register
and Recorder will be a vote for a thorough
going Republican, an intelligent printer
and hard-working man, whose friends
are legioa, and whose generous heart is
responsive to every worthy appeal. Since
the primary Mr. Shafer has been em
ployed in the office to which he will be
elected and when he assumes charge in
person he will give his entire time and
attention to it We are safe in predicting
that the Register and Recorder's oflice
will be as capably and carefully managed
under John S. Shafer as under any of his
predecessors.
A vote for Peter Dumbauld, for County
Treasurer, will be not only a vote for a
successful farmer, but a vote for
genial gentleman whose fi lends are
spread all over the county and whose ene
mies are an unknown quantity, and be has
none that the 11 era lo has ever learned
of. Mr. luiubauld has been a life-long
Republican, has filled the office of Coun
ty Commissioner and will be a safe cus
todian of the county's finances.
A vote for Jacob S. Koontz and Wil
limn N. Moser for County Commissioners
will be cast for two of the county's lead
ing farmers and Republican voters, who
will bring to that office sound business
judgment and who will zealously guard
the interests of the taxpayers.
A vote for Samuel M. Saylerand Charles
II. Scbmucker, the Republican nominees
for the important office of County Audi
tor, will be a vote for thoroughly capable,
intelligent and fearless citizons, who will
discbarge their duties with an eye single
to the interests of the taxpayers.
A vote for William J. Glessner, for Di
rector of the Poor, will be an indarse-
mentof the wise policy of selecting from
the foremost citizens f the county offi
cers to discharge the important trust com
mitted to the Board of Poor Directors.
The emoluments of the office are not such
as to justify enterprising fanners to oc
cupy the position, but it is well for the
people of Somerset county that they have
a class of citizens who are willing to sac
rifice their time and money in order that
the wants of those who have become a
charge on the charity of the people may
be properly and economically provided
for.
A vote for Capt William M. Schrock,
for County Surveyor, will be a vote for a
Republican who has every qualification
desirable to discharge the duties of that
office, and who wil bring to it a ripe ex
perience that will doubtless prove of per
manent value to the people of the entire
county.
A vote for Dr. Chas. F. Livengood, for
Coroner, will be a vote for a Republican
and a rising young physician, who is fa
vorably known to hundreds of the voters
of the county.
With such a splendid ticket to support
composed as it is of excellent Republican
citizens of the county, it should not only
be a pleasure, as it is the duty, of every
Republican in the county to give it his
enthusiastic support
Let there be no stay-at-bonies on No
vember 7th. Let every Republican voter
vote the entire ticket from top to bottom.
Bed Ears At a Hasking-Bee.
A lively husking bee was held Tuesday
night at the borne of Mr. Frank P. Rerk

erset County, which broke up in a row
caused by the Jenuer Township boys ob
jecting to some Conemaugh Township
boys from the vicinity of the Borough of
Benson going there and dancing with the
Jenner Township girls.
A young man, George Gardner not the
"'Squire" was cut with a razor or dirk
across the face and bands, and John Bee
ner bad his right arm and three of his
fingers brokeu. Both young men live in
Jenner Township and they were attended
by Dr. Livengood, of Jenners.
No arrests have been made yet and it
is likely none will be, as it appears that

Glkscok Camp, Oct 20. A heavy
battle raged here for eight hours to day,
and it ended with the complete defeat of
the Boers, who left UW men dead, out of
40U0 engaged. The British loss is official
ly reported at 300.
The Boers began the attack from a
strong position on Talana Hilt three
miles away, with artillery fire from 17
guns.
The British replied with well served
artillery Ore by the Thirteenth and Sixty-ninth
Batteries.
In two hours the Boer batteries were
silenced, and the Dublin Fusileers and
the King's Rifles charged up the hill and
over the Boer entrenchments.
A desperate hana to-hand light ensued,
with great slaughter on both sides.
Finally the Boers retreated in a panic
aud were cut down by hundreds as they
fled toward the north.
KNQLAXrVS BIO VICTOBT.
Loxoox, Oct 20. News has come at
last of a considerable 'engagement at
Natal.
Reports are yet meager, but they are
enough to show that the Boers were re
pulsed and their position and guns were
capt u red.
The official report that the Boers lost
li0 men and the British 300 is hardly
credited in military circles here. It is
pointed out that 2200 slain out of an army
of 4000, which the Boers are believed to
have had in the battle, is an unprecedent
ed percentage of loss in a battle between
white troops, especially when it is con
sidered that the Boers are extremely
careful always to avoid heavy loss.
The reported British loss is heavy, but
is probably correct Still this victory,
with the moral effect it is certain to have
upon the opening campaign, is a great
point for the British.

Caps Tows, Oct 20. President Steyn,
of the Orange Free State, has issued an

burghers to a man to take arms and to
fight against an unscrupulous enemy.
"We are fighting a just war," says the
proclamation, "aud cannot be defeated,

BAITED HOKRS TO DKATH.
Cape Town, Oct 20. Dispatches dated
Mafeking, Saturday night state that
Colonel Baden-Powell inflicted a tre
mendous blow on the Boers nine miles
north of Mafeking.
Two trucks, laden with dynamite,
which it was judged unsafe to keep in
Mafeking, on account of the risk of ex
plosion, should the town be shelled, were
sent by Colonel Baden-Powell nine miles
ont in the hope that the Boers would
shell and explode them. Aad so it hap
pened. When the engine bad uncoupled from
the trucks and retreated about a mile the
enemy shelled the trucks, with the result
that a terrible explosion occurred killing,
it is estimated, 100 Boers.
Murderer Kakes a Wild Data Tot Freedom.
Atlasta, Ga., Oct 21. Edward C.
Flanagan, the Dekalb county murderer,
broke from his cell in the Dekalb coun
ty jail this morning. As he dashed
through the door and past the guard, who
bad the murderer's breakfast in his bands
be snatched up the 2 year-old baby of
Sheriff Talley. Drawing a long knife
from his sleeve and clasping the child to
his breast the prisoner fled down the jail
stairway toward the street and liberty.
Down one flight of steps and then
through a corridor leading to the Sheriffs
residence, the only avenue of escape from
the prison, Flanagan sped, holding the
screaming child in his left arm and
brandishing his knife in his right hand.
Sheriff Talley happened to be in the
room into which Flanagan dashed. Mrs.
Talley, the child's mother, was also there.
The father and mother simultaneously
sprang opon the prisoner, Mrs. Talley
wielding a broom and the SherifT clutch
ing Flanagan by the neck. The guard
cams up at this instant and the three
overpowered Flanagan and tore the child
from bis grasp. The Sheriff then drove
him back op the steps and into the cell

Twenty thousand pension claims grow
ing out of the Spanish war have been pre
sented to date. Of this number about 500
have been gianted.
"The Spanish war claims are bein
taken np in their regular order, along
with those willing from the civil, Mexi
can and Indian wars," said Commissioner
II. Clay Kvans. "We are not pushing
aay one daan ahead of the other. When
all the Spanish war claims are examined,
we expect to throw out a great many. I
understand, upon very good authority,
that hundreds of them were filed by sol
diers who went to Cuba, and who afler
wards went to the Philippines. It stands
to re.tson that if these boys were able to
pas lue physical examination required
for enlistment in our Oriental army, tley
are not entitled to pensions for disabili
ities sustained in the Spanish war before
they enlisted a second time. We will find
that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of
these Spanish war claims were concocted
by the ever active pension attorneys

Fulton Republican.
Fulton county has some tall tnldor and
big corn this yer. but nothing to com
pare with that grown in Kansas. The
story goes that a Kansas farmer went in
to his field to pull some roasting ears.
He was unable to reach them and got his
boy to climb for them. The corn grew
so rapidly that the boy was unable to de
scend again. After patiently waiting
three days for the boy to return, the old
man died and went to heaven, where he
made inquiry about the boy, and was in
formed that his son had passed through
on a corn stalk the day before.
