Chauncey Black intimates that three-fourths of the Koigbta of Labor in Pennsylvania have been purchased to vote for him. This is an insult to every laboring man in the State. Every side issue and every ticket that tends to draw votes from the lie publican party are Democratic in their proclivities, and are allies of that party. Be not decieved by any sophistry, but realize tbe fact that by supporting any one of them, you are an assistant Democrat. Chauncey Black says that General Beaver's campaign is helping him. If that is true this is not the first cam TJatgn where General Beaver helped Cbauncef. General Beaver helped -Chauncey in the campaign that cost General Beaver a leg. But, by tbe way, where was Chauccey then, and on which side of the line? Titere will be music in Pennsylva nia during tbe next week. James G, Blaine will speak in Philadelphia on the 16tb, from whence be will travel through tbe central part of tbe State to Pittsburgh, where be will ad chess tbe multitudes on the 20th. All along the line be will meet the people and speak to them on the issues of tbe campaign. At Harrisburg be will be the guest of General Cameron. Tbe whole tour will be one blaze of entbu mam that will end in one of the grandest Republican victories ever known in Pennsylvania. Republicans should lose no oppor -tunity to do a good act or say a good word for the whole ticket these days. Tbe time is growing abort, and now is - the right time to put your shoulder to tbe wheel. Wherever you find a little work necessary there is the place to -doit. There is no reason wby our majority should not be larger this fall than ever. Aod there is no reason why each and every Republican in the county should not take a band in tbe work, and share the credit when the majorities are counted up. Let each Republican make an effort to in crease the majority of his own town Bhip. It can be done if you will put forth tbe proper effort. Go to work jind don't let up till the polls close. The contest in the Crawlbrd-Mer-cer-Butler District was settled in Phil adelphia last Wednesday by the State -Committee's selection of Dr. W. B. Roberts as the Republican candidate Sot Congress. The contest was referred "to a committee of five, as follows : S. B. Halliday of Erie, J. B. Agnew of Forest, George J. Elliott of Jefferson, Cyrus F. Fox of Berks, and Nathan iel Adams of Perry. The fact was presented that during the past twelve years, or since the district was organ ized, Crawford County has had tbe congressman but two years, while But ler has been favored four years aod Mercer six. Upon this grouud it was regarded as proper and fair that Craw ford should be awarded the candidate, and that was done. The decision may leave a little soreness in Mercer, but it will be generally accepted by the Republicans of the district, and there ateed not, and will not, be any doubt jtbout the result. J. E. WENK, - The Brookville Iiqmblnin says: The (hallow pretence of Charles S. Wolfe, Prohibition candidate for Gov ernor, was fully exposed last week, and there seems to be no good reason left why any honest friend of prohibi tion should support him, Ins purpose being at such variance with those of tlio parly for which he poses as a can didate, lie was coming West over the P. E. Railroad when be was met by Mr. William Foster, a gentleman well known iu iirookville, aod a con versation ensuing the latter gentle mau informed the gentleman from Ucion that he was going to get a good many votes at Sun bury, when it was quickly asked, "from which par ty," and when informed that they had been Democrats, he immediately re sponded, "don't let them do it ; have them vote for Black; I am in this campaign to beat General Beaver." Mr. Foster is a Democrat, and no doubt Wolfe felt safe in making this declaration, but it so happened that although a Democrat he is a man who believes in fair dealing and takes no stock in demagogues who strive to de ceive the people. The purposes of the the 1 robibition candidate were well understood by every one acquainted with his political record, but it was hardly to be expected that be would completely give himself away as he did in this conversation. THE ALLEGED FUSION. Dr. St. Clair, after about twenty years trial in all parties has at length got some sort of a nomination for Con gress, lie tried the old Know Noth ing party, could not make it, then he became a wonderfully earnest Repub lican, going around the school houses, particularly tbe old Peelor school house, making his speeches calling the Democrats "copperheads" and all that sort of thing. In those days he was too busy calling the Democrats hard names to go to the war himself or render the country any substantial service, in tbe tall ot lbb-1 he tried by a side doorway to jostle Wm. M. Stewart off the track, whom Indiana had made its choice for Congress. Then, in 1868 the Doctor announced himself for ' jngress, but some influ ences switched bim off of that to get him to run against Harry White for Senate, where he was woefully defeat ed, lben he wanted a chance to vin dicate himself, for all time, as a con sistent man, and got on his marrow bones to tbe good Republicans of In diana county, promising what a cood Republican he would always bo if they sent nioi to tbe btate Senate. They listened to him and he had hardly warmed his seat until, in 1878, he was carried away by the Greenback craze and helped to defeat the Demo cratic candidate for Commissioner and Auditor with the Greenback candi dates that year. lie next turned up in 1882 and 1884 and wanted the Democrats to nominate him for Con gress, which they refused to do. Two years ago he assisted the Greenbackers in their vain effort to defeat Jeremiah Wakefield, Esq., the present Demo cratic Commissioner. With such an unsavory record we do not wonder that the Democratic conferees from Indiana and Forest counties would not help to make or in any way be par ties to St. Clair's nomination last week. It will be seen that the Demo cratic conferees of both counties nomi nated Maj. Davis, of Clarion. He de clined. Tbey then offered it to several other Democrats who also declined. Then St. Clair, being ready to take anything, was allowed to come into tbe Democratic conference with his Greenback conferees, several of whom were self appointed. Then, as we understand it, the Democratic con ferees from Indiana and Forest coun ties withdrew and would not partici pate at all in St. Clair's nomination. They said, "we'll take no such a man for our candidate and ask the Demo crats of our counties to vote for him." So Messrs. John R. Wilson, John II. Hill and Jeremiah Wakefield, confer ees from Indiana county, would not consent or participate in a conference with St. Clair's set up Greenback con ferees. As .Democratic representa tives they would not and did not con sent, as we learn, to participate in or 08 bound by tbe action oi a portion of the Democratic conferees from the other three counties and St. Clair's Greenback conferees. St. Clair's candidacy is, then, a sort of side show. It does not belong to the regular, orthodox Democratic cir cus under the big canvas, but is the iat woman Annex, or side-show with ten cents admission. It is not strange then, that scores of old fashioned Democrats say: "Away with such nonsense! Our conferees, the regular party representatives, didn't go into a convention with the Greenbackers to nominate such a man as St. Clair, and we won't and can't be bound by such a nomination." When we understand the way St. Clair got his side-show uominatiou he has, we can understand why it was that John Montzomerv. instead of some old-fashioned Demo crat, was chief cook and manager in taking the brass baud up to eheer tbe Doctor aod briurr him out to talk to the crowd of boys who followed the band up to the depot the night he came home from the Clarion confer ence. Well, what's the use talking about this. tit. L'lair has no more chance of an election than the mau jumping over Niagara Falls bat for Jong I ne. Jadiana Irogrcss, It. M.
