As Presidbut of the malodorous "Mc
Kinley League," Mr. Berkey last spring
caitea secret meting of his insurgent
inenas to meet la this town ftr the pur
pose of "comparing notes on the political
situation. The failure of that insolent
attempt to dictate to the Republican vot
ers whom they sh-vild support 6r office is
a matter of rejent history. The uotram-
meied voters nominated their candidates
by overwhelming inajoriliee and elected
them at the November election, thus re
buking the "McKiuley League" and iu
orators who stamped the county with the
avowed purpose of "learning the people
bow to vote intelligently."
Most m?n. at least those possess! at an
average amount of common sense and
good judgment, would have been -overwhelmed
with th castigation visited
upon President Berkey aud the "MeKin
ley League" by the voters, but it has re
mained f yr Mr. Berkey in his capacity as
vuainuan 01 ins vounty conL-nittee, a
positiou bought at the sacrifice of tSe po
litical manhood of a number of Commit
teemen who were persuaded to violate the
trust reposed in taern by their constitu
ents, to offdr a farther insult to the voters
of the county by attempting to take frjtn
them the privilege confided to them.
not only by the ruies governing the par
ty organization, but by twenty-two years
of continuous and uniform practice, in or
der thst he may he continued a. Chair
man -of a political organization with
which he is not in harmony, and to dis
rupt which he has for years past exerted
his best efforts.
In the call issued by the County Chair
man, and published last week in three of
the most obscure local newspapers, the
voters are called upon to furnish the
Chairman with the names of candidates
r Committeemen In all of the forty-
three voting districts in the county
at least twenty days before the date set
for the primary election, April 21st.
We repeat that this is not only an af
front to the Intelligence of every fair-
minded Republican voter in the county,
but it ia in direct violation of the rules gov
erning the party organization. Ever since
the present rules were adopted the voters
of the respective districts hsve selected
their candidates for Committeemen usu
ally on the day of the primary, without
any suggestions from the County Chair
man. It has nniforuily been held to be
not only a violation of the party rules,
but altogether unfair, to print the names
of candidates for Committeemen on the
ballots, that right being reserved for the
voter to exercise his individual prefer
ence. Kute V reaas as ioiiow :
"The voters in election precincts It ad
dition to voting lor candidates for nomin
ation shall also vote for and elect a Judge
of E'ection for each f their respective
district, whoshall be the Committeeman
for said precinct for the ensuing year.
Provided. That no person shall serve as
Judge for two succeeding years."
The clear intent of the above rule is.
and it has always been so beld.hai the
right of eleetiog a Committeman is a matr
ter for the voters of the various districts,
and one with which the County Chairman
his no concern whatever.
It has frequently happened that the
voters of many districts have selected
and elected Committeemen without the
knowledge of the parties, but Chairman
Berkey appears to be willing to deny
them that privilege and declares that all
candidate for nomination must an
nounce their names through him "not
later than twenty days before the day of
the primary election." He vey wisely
refrains from informing the limited num
ber of voters who read the journals in
which his call for the primary appears
in what manner candidates for election
Committeemen are elected, not nomi
natedshall announce their names.
The purpose and utter unscrupulous
ness of Chairman Berkey's proposition
must be clearly manifest to the most ob
tuse mind. For weeks past he has been
engaged in writing personal letters to bis
intimate political friends and fellow
"McKinley Leaguers." calling upon
them to select candidates for Committe
man in their respective districts anil for
ward the same to him in order that be
could have their names printed on the
ballots. When personal letters were
found ineffective, it ia reported, he las
driven to election districts tr the pur
pose of setting up candidates for Com
mittee ineo.
But Chairman Berkey will have hia
pains for bis trouble and the Republican
voters of the county will continue to
abide by the rules and practices govern
ing their psrty organization ; will select
and elect a county committee of their
own choosing, and the committee so
elected will choa a Chairman who be
lieves in the right of majority rule, and
one who will loyally support thecaudi
dites of the party.
No, no. Mr. Berkey; the tail isn't Ng
enough to wag the dog In Somerset

One hundred persons were poiaoned,
some fatally, by eating chicken salad at
Church entertainment at Lttna, Ohio,
in the present campaign. Ia his baste
to communicate In person with his su
perior officer Burgher Berkey neglected
to place any one in charge of bis com
mand during his absence, so it is posi
tively assured that active fighting will
not ba commenced till after his return.
Some Regular candidates who called to
e Burgher Berkey Saturday, for the
purpose of announcing their intention of
engaging in the fight on April 21st, were
told that the Burgher could not be com
municated with cnti! Thursday of the
present week. Before his return it is
expected that the ammunition, forage,
etc.. procured from General Thropp at
Everett Kop will be distril-uted among
th different commando and that the
troop under bis immediate command
will make a reconnoissance in force, pre
liminary to the general eugagemeat,
April 21st. While it Is not definitely
known who will be given charge of the
various Insurgent commandos, it is con
fidently predicted that Generals Koontz
and Kendall will be assigned to their old
commands and that Genera! Konser will
be given his ; but it is possible that Gen
eral Thropp may, at the last moment.
decide lo supersede the latter and lead
his commando in person. While it is
assumed that the Insurzent burghers
will be led by their ablest generals, 1. is
thought that they will not be able to
tnalte much head wy against the well-
organized, harmonious and well-disci
plioed Regular forces. The outcome of
the approaching contest will be watched

Sheriff Baylor Etlpt a Slav aai Saves
Csaaty a Big Board BtlL
Among Sheriff Saylor's many accom
p.ishments that or translating an nu-
known languags remained to be devel
oped until last week, when his sympa
thies were aroused by a poor Slav, who
had been committed to jail on a charge of
defrauding a boarding-housekeeper. Du
ring the week the Slav was confined in
jail he spent most of bis time in prayer.
He sought to separate himself from his
follow inmates, with none of whom be
was able to converse, and, sileutly steal
ing away into a dark corner of bis cell,
spent hours making crosses over his fore
head and breast and offering mule sup
plications for deliverance from bondage.
Sheriff Saylor, who speaks German and
Pennsylvania Dutch as fluently as Eng
lish, and who has been known to carry on
prolonged interviews with his mute
friend William Marteeny, finally decided
that be would learn what was the matter
with "John" the Slav. After patently
watching Joha's gesticulations for hours
at a time, be by degrees discovered that
John has a wife and five children in Rus
sia; that he has a bauk account amount
ing to some S.YI0 in the town where his
wife resides; that be was last employed
by a coutractor who had agreed to pro
vide him with boarding; that the con
tractor had left Windber without doing
so, resulting in his (John's) incarcera
tion; that be had an old satchel at his
former boarding house in Windber, and
that he could not secure possession of it
until he had paid $2 to the party who hold
it for unpaid rent. After this he impart
ed to the Sheriff by means of his fingers
that there was JUT in currency concealed
In the satchel, and that if ha could get
possession of It be would cancel the debts
charged against him, if by doing so he
could regain his liberty. The attache
about the county prison all scouted the
idea of John's bsving so much money in
a satchel at a boarding house, but the
Sheriff, following his own inclinations,
aent a deputy to Windber with instruc
tions to pay the $2 and secure possession
of the satcheL When the grip reached
the Sheriff's offi the deputy threw it on
the floor with a disgusted air, as much as
to say: "There's no money in that dirty
old thing T Sheriff Saylor directed tht
John be brought from his cell, when be
piinted to the satcheL The Slav made a
dive for it and speedily produced a badly
soiled woolen workman's cap. He felt
the cap over and over again, all the while
elancing inquiringly at the Sheriff. The
Sheriff raised bis hands alternately 29
times, and then counted two on his fin
gers. John comprehended wnat the offi
cer meant, and, deftly removing a few
stitches which hsld the lining of the cap
in place, he drew forth a roll of bank
bills ten 10s, nine 5s and two Is-tM7.
An hour later John was discharged, tut
n -t until after be bad paid the cists end
the disputed board bill, as well as the
casta charged against a fdlloa- country
man serving sentence In default thereof.
The two Slavs left the J -ail after making
many bows to the sympathetic Sheriff?
who had not only seemed their release
from prison, but had saved the county
the expense of boarding two prisoners
for a number of mouths. Sheriff Saylor's
big heart is in the right place.
