EDWARD SCT Ij. Bailor and Proprietor,
WEDNESDAY
..April 4. 19(0.
Wessteb Davis, Assistant Secretary
of the Interior, has resigned, and will
go on the lecture platform in the inter
est of the Boers.
Thk British fjrees suflereJ . reverse
Saturday near liloemfontein, where
General RUierta lias hia headepjartt-r.
By a shrewd bit of peueralahip the
British forces were driven from a posi
tion they occupied and into another
trap, where they lost 3'i0 men. Hie
water supply of Bloemfontein was also
cut off.
Mehsk8 Fred IViwe and V. It. Ban
ner, candidate for the Kepubliean
nomination for Assembly men, paid
thtir announcement fees to Chairman
Berkey over a mouth ago, and as yet
that worthy has not announced their
names as required by the farty rules,
and the day of election is only a little
over two weeks otf. This is a fair sam
ple of the s rt of "reform' in our pri
maries that the "McKinley Leaguers"
propose to give us.
Never in the hUtory of the party
has a candidate for National Delegate
been aunounced at the primary. The
unbroken cuMonu has been for the Del
'eg&tea to the Slate Convention to act
as conferrees to w-leet Nation!' IX-le-trtes.
Cuairntan Berkey, being touch
winer than all tbx-e who have gone
before him, has dictatorial!- changed
this ancient and respected party cus
tom and forced candidates for this po
sition to announce and make a canvass
of the county. Mr. Ephraim D. Mil
ler, of Ilockwood, is a candidate for
National Delegate.
We desire to have it understood that
the call for the lU-puUican primary
election is not published in the Heb
ald at the request of Mr. J. A. Berkey,
Chairman of the Republican County
Committee, but decidedly contrary to
his wishes. It was Mr. Berkey's evi
dent desire to keep the knowledge of
the date of the primary from as many
Bepublicans as possible, and only con
vey the information to bis insurgent
friends, that impelled him to delay call
ing the primary to the last possible mo
ment, and then to make the announce
ment in obscure papers, none of which
supported the Republican ticket at the
last general election, or are of general
circulation.
The Republicans of Somerset county
are unalterably opposed to the return
of Joseph E. Thropp to Congress. Two
years ago, when hisown county humil
iated him by giving a large majority
against him, and Biair and Cambria
both repudiated him, Somerset county,
by her large loyal Republican majority
saved his election, dragging Lira from
beneath the hostile vole of the other
counties in the district much as one
would pull a drowning puppy from a
mill pond. His gratitude has been
fcbown by according his Somerset coun
ty coustituenU treatment on a par with
that which the average Boer is alleged
to mete out to the Uitlander, only in
this case it is Mr. Thropp who is the
Boer. Whether Mr. Thropp runs in
this county in person or by proxy, it is
one and the same. The Republicans
of this county will have none of him.
The death of the famous Boer Gen
eral Piet Joubert removes from Kfe's
action one of the sturdiest of all those
who are now engaged in the fight for
independence, a rugged, honest man, a
lover of liberty, a hater of oppression,
and a combatant in a good cause who
was at all times to be ft&red when the
struggle was on. His loss to the South
African Republic is irreparable, for
there is none to take his place. The
Boer forces are well officered, but the
men who plan the battles and carry
them to a successful termination are
few, aud Joubert will be very sadly
missed. What fleet, if any, bis death
will have on the Boer cause remains to
be seen, but it will certainly be discour
aging, for Joubert was the mainstay,
and the man on whom was placed the
greatest reliance by Kruger and the
others who conducted the destinies of
the Boer Republic.
Joseph E. Thropp told a citizen of
Somerset county Saturday afternoon
that he had announced and would be
a candidate for Congress in this county
at the approaching primary. He did
not stale whether he would tun in
person or by proxy, and as the HeralX
is not in the confidence of Chairman
Berkey, is not one of the "official or
gans of the McKinley League," and is
not likely to be given the official an
nouncements, it and its readers will
have to wait till the fact percolates
through the obscure papers that our
Chairman has selected to convey to
the voters of the county intelligence of
the approaching primary, before we
kuow whether our Congressman pro
poees to give us an opportunity to go
up against the real thing or whether it
is a Joseph in disguise that we will
have to go after. In w batever ehsi
hi appear?, the Republicans of the
coiaty are laying for J e.
The one vital q'K-sfiuu to be settled
at the primary on April il-d is thi:
Shall majority rule be upheld, or tba!l
a minority dominate the Republican
party? I'eiinsjlvania is theonly State
In the Union where this great constitu
tional privilege is denied. Everywhere
else the principle is accepted as a nut
ter of fact. No party can survive un
less the minority submit to the tnnj r
ity. But in Pennsylvania we have a
few-political bosses of the Dave Martin
an i Bill Flion stripe who have grown
enormously rich through the manipu
lation of the city politics of Philadel
phia and Pittsburg, who are striving to
a Hash the party in the State if they
can only profit out of the nrn. The
Republican party s aat to frighten
ed by such men and such methods, and
in making nominations fr the Legis
lature no candidate should be supported
unless he pledges himself to stand by
Ids party and . be governed in all po
litical questions by tb majority. Toe
rule of the majority, then, is the main
ia-tue at the primaries, and if the lie-
publican voters are wise they will r it-
diate party-wreckers and "inurgents "
W. H. Sanner and Fred Rwe pledg
themselves to abide by tb verdict of
th s majority on all party q-iestiona.
In ITS effoit to justify the outrageous
eTnt being made by County Chairman
J. A. Berkey to violate and annul the
rules of the Republican party in the
eounty in order to re elert himelf j
Chairman of the County Committee, '
t!i- "fake" journrl, it being the pef- :
aonal orjan of Assemblyman KoonU, !
w-.ilfu'ly and deliberately If . abmt ev
ery person, living and dead, who has
jUtid the rxViti m of Cjiuty Chairman
since the adoption of the present rule,
and undertakes to say that they were
not possete4 of sufficient intelligence
to interpret them properly, or designed
ly misinterpreted them. Although the
present rules were adopted twenty-two
years ago, and the party haa twen con
ducting its elections under them ever
since with but one view of the construc
tion of the rcl9 relating to the election
of committeemen, it remains for thU
latter-day Moses to advise and give us
a new and correct interpretation of the
law. According to the "fakir," Chair
man Bei key, after a casual reading of
the second section of the Act of As
sembly 1S1, providing for the pun
Uhmsut of willful violations of pri
mary election law, has concluded that
candidates for Committeemen need not
announce with him. We take it that
by the time he has thoroughly digested
the section referred to be will conclude
that discretion is lue better part of val
or, and w ill not attempt a deliberate
and willful violation of a party rure
that has been ouiversally respected for
over twenty years, and will Dot have
the name of a candidate for Commit
teeman printed on a single ballot If
he does, the responsibility will rent
with him and those who aid him in
thus violating the law.
In its defense of this wholly unwar
ranted effort on the part of Chairman
Berkey to violate the rules the "fakir"
says that heretofore Committeemen
were selected iu secret. Could any
thing be more absurd or farther from
the truth? Does not every voter in the
county know that he is privileged to be
a candidate for Committeeman if he
desires ; that be is at liberty to write on
bis ticket the name of any Republican
voter in his precinct for whom ne wish
es to vote for Committeeman. Could
anything be more fair or open ? Yet,
these model "reformers" would at
'e opt to take this liberty away from
the honest voter and place the selection
of the members of the County Com
mittee in the hands of J. A. Berkey
aud his piratical crew by compelling
candidates for Committeemen to "an
nounce their name with the Chvrniao
at leat twenty days before the day of
the primary." This year just thirty
days' notice of the primary was given,
and then in the least public manner
possible. This allowed ju-t ten days
for the Republicans of the various pre
cincts to select their candidate for Oorr.
initteeman and send him to Somerset
to see Mr. J. A. Berkey, who wm ab
sent from home the greater part of the
ten days, conveniently alisent, perhaps.
It won't work, Mr. Berkey. The Re
publicans of the county are thoroughly
aroused and will see to it that you play
fair ball or quit the game.
THE so-called Independent Republi
can voters and there are many such in
this county who have followed the
leadership of William II. Koontz and
Francis J. Kooser, believing that they
were fighting for a well aud clearly de
fined set of independent political prin
ciples by the adoption of which great
public good would result and many
alleged abuses would be corrected, can
not view with any degree of compla
cency the exposition made elsewhere
in these columns of the methods resort
ed to by them last spring through the
inHlrumenUMty of the McKinley
League to dictate a ticket, which was
repudiated by the voters at the prima
ry election. Oae of the stick ple of
the gentlemen named has been "that
the people were not pvriuitted to exer
cise a choice In the selection of their
candidates, that power being reserved
for the arch-trators of the party, the
bosses." They talked "boswism" until
their dreams were disturbed at night,
and at last when they believed them
selves to be so strongly fortified in the
good graces of the people they treated
the Republican voters to such an exhi
bition f audacious and intolerable
"boesism" as Dick Croker, Dave Mar
tin, or Bill Flinn never dared attempt
in the boss-ridden cities of -Xew York,
Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
"B Ktsism" reached the climax of au
dacity when the following letter was
sent out to a few select individuals, two
and three in each voting precinct of
the county:
Somerset, Pa, April 20,
Dear Sir:
A fter a consultation with a number of
our friends it has been thought it would
be well for us to compare notm on Tn
dnv evening next at lh otfiee of J. A
Berkov. Kvi . a to noiiiiiMl nmUm in

acbool diiectora' convention for the elec
tion of a county superintendent. Tbere
will be preaent a representative gathering
from all over the county. Be sure lo

When the "boshes" and "sub-bosses"
met in s-cret convention the plan tint
had previously been adopted by the
signers of the letter was put ia motion
to drive avowed candidates from the
field. "Boss" Kimmell declared in
most positive terms that unless John
G. Eiuert was "slated"' s the candi
date for Protbonotarv in orderthat the
Commissioners' office might be viudi
cated of the cbirgvs made against it
by outraged taxpayer he would not
play politics any more. "Rifsee'1
Kuoser and Leonard agreed that Kiui
mell was entitled to name tbe candi
date for that important office and the
other candidates were politely notified
that they were not in the running.
"IVwa" Shober claimed th p-ivilege
of naming the candidate for R-g inter
and Recorder, and by judicious prom-
is of (mure reward to those who
aspirod to aunouncv their names for
that ofllv, was allowed to name Jacob
G. KimmelL
J. A. Berkey, who was hostile to the
slating f Etnert urged other well-
known gentlemen to enter the field
airainst him, but when Berkey receiv
ed word from Committeemen controlled
by Shobt-raud Kimmell that he must
keep h suds off be meekly submitted to
ee the friends be had induced to orler
ttieir names slaughtered in the house of
their wipKed friends.
When it came to slating a candidate
f-wSlitri3" Associate-Judge George J.
lUck served notice that he had pre
empted that place for hi9on Frai k
B , and that if any other name was
considered trouble could be expected
from the "bench."
The Committee appointed to select
men for the office of (Ymtnissioner
were the selection of Messrs. Kimmell
and .-S'loher, but they were unable to
secure the binding promises they tried
to exact.

The paimul silence preserved by the
select coterie of scheming politicians,
who met in secret in this town on ttie
nifc-ht of My 2, liZK, for the purpose of
"comparing notes on the political nitua
tion," must impress every upright and
thoughtful citizen with the fact that a
preconceived and dastardly attempt was
made to take from th6 people the control
of the elective oiSoee of Somerset coun
ty, in whose hands they' are placed by
the Constitution and laws of the State,
and turn them over to certain ambitious
gentletneni who have worn threadbare
all the various disguises of political
purists without attaining their objects,
undertook by cunnicg to place their
tools in places of political power.
The disastrous culmination of that
stealthy and a o worthy effort to dictate
who sttonld and who should not be can
didates for office ia a matter of very recent
history, but tlTa lesson taught seems to
have inade no impression ou the gentle
men who planned the audacious scheme,
because an effort is now beiug made with
the same stealth and disregard of the
rights of the people to secure and retain
control of the County Committee, and to
secure the election of two members of
the Legislature.
The mission of the "McKinley League,"
has boon a fruitful subject for discussion
not only in the columns of this paper but
among people who believe in the sacred
right of every citizen to submit his name
a9 a candidate for election l oflioe, aad
especially among the political and per
sonal friends of those whose political as
pirations and right to exercise the liberty
of citizenehip were ruthlessly strangled at
the "compare notes meeting."
To the lasting credit of some of the
men who were unwittingly dragged into
the "McKinley League" it ia due to say
that they absolved themselves from the
contamination it was sought to fasten
apon them as soon as the motives of those
responsible for the formation of the
"League" became clear, aud while re
trainiug from making public all that
transpired at the "liniipare notes" meet
ing, nevertheless erted their best efforts
to encompass the defeat of the t icket there
arrogantly and impudently forced upon
the members of that organiz ttion, and
through it submitted to the Republican
voters of the county.
Although the "Leagtie" candidates met
with crushing and richly merited defeat
at the June primary the selfish personal
motives which conspired to effect that
organization has a vital connection with
the campaign now in progress in the
couuty, and in "order that our readers
may know exactly what transpired at
the "compare notes meeting we here
with reproduce the notes kept by a mem
ber of thit organization, who withdrew
frm it as soon as the tyranical objoct of
the promoters of tne "League" became
known :

in toy of those who had witnessed the ty

JUDQE9 BY THEIR EEC0203.

The people were told that by electing a
lawyer of General KoouU's ability to rep
resent them in the Legislature they would
have an orator on the floor of the House
who would champion the rights of tbe
farmers and other oppressed taxpayers,
and woe betide tbe enemy of tbe com mon
people who should arouse the vitriolic in
vective of this sturdy champion of bis
constituents. Now let as see just what
General KoonU did at Harrisburg Iu the
interacts of tbe people of our county.
When tbe seven months school bill, a
measure opposed by uinety-niue out of
every one hundred voters of tbe county,
was under consideration. Assemblyman
Koontz had an opportunity to defend tbe
rights of the people of the rural commu
nities who have always regarded tbe
length of time their schools should be
kept open as a matter to be adjusted by
the parties interested, aud cot to be arbi
trarily fixed by legislative enactment.
Here was the one chance for a silver-
tongued orator to uphold his reputation
and win tbe plaudits, not only of his con
stituents, but to win over to bis caose the
votes of enough fair-minded Assembly
men to insure the defeat of the obnxious
bill. If Assemblyman Koontz raised his
voice in protest against the passage of the
"seven months school bill the legislative
record doas not correctly report biin. He
permitted the one measure in which tbe
people he was sent to Harrisburg to rep
resent wove deeply interested to become
a law without opening his mouth. The
plea that be was alisent when tbe bill was
called up for final passage can not be
urged in his defense, because his vote,
unaccompanied by a single word of pro
test, is recorded against tbe obnoxious
measure. His voice ha l not failed him.
for insurgent newspapers told us that be
was thrilling large audiences in Philadel
phia, Altoona, Lebauou and elsewhere
with scathing denunciations of the Re
publican party and of State leaders.
The hundreds of Republican voters
throughout tbe county, who two years
ago signed a memorial to tbe Legislature
asking that a law be enacted abolUhing
the burdensome fee system and per diem
wages of certain couuty offliMals and sub
stituting fixed salaries iu lieu thereof.
have not forgotten tbe contemptuous
treatment they received from Assembly
men Koontz and Kendall, who threw
col l water on the efforts of the people
who were seeking to be relieved of unjust
burdens, and delayed presenting the
memorial iu tbe House until near the
close of the session, and only then intro
duced It without having complied with
the prescribed method or introducing
bills of that character. When the bill
was called up for passage, it will be re
membered, Assemblyman Kendall arwe
in his sent and announced that the bill
bad not been advertised and therefore
could not be acted upon. It was dead as
a door-nail the moment it was given to
them. They were too busy trying to "lick
old tiuay" and to destroy the R-jpublieaii
party to attend to the important business
of their constituents.
At the iostigatiou of insurgent news
papers of Philadelphia, whose legislative
reporters wrote column upon column of
sensational articles, alleging that this
aud that member of tbe House had been
corruptly solicited to support the "Mo
Carrel Bill," or to vote for the re-election
of Colonel Q'lay, General Koontz moved
that a legislative committee be appoiutsd
to investigate the newspaper reports,
which a jury in the. Dauphin county
oturt decidsl la it wesk were without
foundation.
There is only one other record of As
semblyman Koontc's voice being raised
in the halU of legislation at Harrisburg
two winters a, and that is when he in
troduced a bill to regulate the sale of
whisky, which would have practically
made distillers retailers, without under
going the formality of applying to tbe
court for license. The temperance peo
ple and tbe hotel keepers an unheard of
combination, we are free to admit will
both remember this e Tort of Assembly
man Koont to protect thiiir interests in
tbe halls of legislation.
The Legislative Itacord reports one
siiiKld speech delivered during tbe ses
sion of lis j9 tiy Assemblyman Koontz' a
colleague. Assemblyman Kendall, who
delivered a philOpio agaiust tbe "seven
months school bill" that would have
brought discredit upon any schixj'.boy in
the Commonwealth. Tue speaker, jndg
iug from the printed report, was ignorant
of the fact that the residents of all school
districts in the State have it in their
power to extend the lengLj of the school
term to any number of months .ahey

REGULARS IN GOOD SPIRITS.

(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia. April 3. After the out
come of the primaries of last Saturday
the regular Republicans of Pennsylva
nia have, every reason to be pleased
with the political situation, especially
as regards the next legislature. Should
Colonel Quny be a candidate for the
senate before the next legislature there
Is now i doubt about his getting a
large majority of the Republican mem
bers of the legislature. After the ex
pressions on that subject which have
come from the Republican voters of
the state. It is scarcely possible for the
insurgent3 to make a successful bo!
against the action of the Republican
caucus. The Republicans of the state
have with emphatic force declared at
the primaries that they believe in ma
Jorlty rule and that they do not pro
Dose to permit a small minority to dic
tate the policy or nominate the -candi
dates of the Republican organization
of Pennsylvania.
FAYETTE SOLID AS A ROCK.
The primary election held in Fay
ette county last Saturday resuiteu in a
clean sweep for the friends of Colonel
Quay, who nominated the three mem
beis of the legislature without the bolt
ers darlcs to put up candidates against
them. The' insurgents after consulta
tion with the Flinn-Martin leadership
made a careful canvass of the couuty
to ascertain their chances of success
arainst the regular organization can
dates for the assembly. They soon
discovered that the Republicans of
Fayette were in favor of majority rule
nd would repudiate aay candidates
Bet up as representatives of the insur
gent, caucus bolting element.
The candidates nominated for the
83sembly in Fayette are Dr. L
Arensburg, Adley C. 5IcCune and Rich
ard Davis. They are all pronounced
stalwcrts, as are also the delegates
elected to the state convention and all
the men on the county ticket. This
county was carried last time by the
Democrats through a fusion deal with
the insurgent Republicans, but it is
Seilared that at the coming election
Uia county will go Republican by not
less than 1,000 majority for the lowest
man on the Republican ticket-
ANDREWS IS DEFEATED.
In Allegheny county, whera the Re
publicans held primaries also last Saturday,-
the returns show that there is
no change In the relative strength oi
the two elements. In this county, the
home of Magee and Flinn, the organi
zatlon has for years been in the hands
of the followers of Magee and Flinn
The Immense official patronage of the
city of Pittsburg has teen a power
which the opponents cf Ma&e3 and
Flinn could never overcome.
The stalwarts, however, retain con
trol of the two assombly districts which
they Lad in the last legislature, the
First and Second, and tho Mawe-FUnn
faction have the balance. One of the
districts, however. Is Dsn-cTstlc. In
the First district tne local !t:('ers rf
the stalwart element nace a do'er-
mined stand ncnin.st the n.sr :-sti.;n-! c-f
former State Chairman Andrews, v, ho
desired to go to the leTi-shiture
They made their C7ht agn'nst Mm on
the score that he. having tint rcently
removed into the district t.-nrn Craw
ford county, should wnit h!3 turn be
fore aspiring to honors from tiie local
organization. Andrews had as his run
ning mate Representative Simon3, who
sought renomination. .Aeaiast them
were pitted Richard M. Kcrp and C.
W. Neeb. The last named won, se
curing 28 delegates out of 40. An at
tempt has been made to have It arpear
that the defeat of the Andrews ticket
Is a setback for the friends of Colonel
Qnay. A public statement signed by
Director of Public Works Robert Mc
Afee, Director of Public Safety John
R. Murphy and Delinquent Tax Col
lector Samuel C. Crier, who led the
fight against Andrews, shows that
the contest was simply one within reg
ular organization and that the insur
gent issue did not enter into the fight.
mis is tneir statement:
"The contest In tho First legislative
district was not Qaay or anti-Quay.
but for home rule. Kopp and Keen-are
Republicans, and will adhere to the
rules of the Republican party. Signed,
Robert McAfee, John R. Murphy, Sam
uel C. Grier."
The candidates nominated In the
other Allegheny districts for assembly
are: Second district, Y. T. Marshall
end John H. Henderson, both of whom
voted for Colonel Quay: Third. G. P.
McCandless, John M. Tlghe: Fourth.
