There are ure to be some political surprises at the coming election. The forecasting of the political division of the Pennsylvania delegation in the next Congress by the Republican and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committees exactly agree. The Dem ocrats concede a loss of four mem bers, making the division twenty-four Republicans and six Democrats. The Republicans of Pennsylvania, how ever, will try to do very much better ku.u bun. Aiiuj nitl ill a ti m DIICU' uous effort to reduce the number of Democrats to no more than four, and possibly two. If the Grow vote of last February is taken as an indica--tion of what will be done next month, then the Democrats would only carry three districts. Io the 28th district in 1892 the Democratic majority was 4,001, and in 1893 it dropped to 1,719, while at the February election on the Grow Hancock voto there was a majority of 1,197 for Grow. The conditions existing last February still stare ev ery voter in the face, and he will have to choose between free trade and pro tection. It should not be a question of politics, but a question of whether or not our nation shall continue to drift toward bankruptcy aiid ruin. If the Republ icans of the 28th dis trict do their duty as well as they did it in February the district will be won hands down. The district has large mining, manufacturing, and agricultural interests, which are best subserved by Republican success, and which cannot afford any further agi tation of the tariff question under a Democratic Administration. The Republican candidate, William C. Arnold, Esq., is a thoroughly repre sentative man, and is in full sympa thy with the people in all their diver sified interests. lie is finely educated and a brilliant crator, and, in fact, just such a wan as the people should send to Congress. There should be t.tl I, r, Ttinn will . ... no uncertainty in the verdict at the polls, and free traders should be noti fied that American interests should be ptotected first, last and always. Clarwn Republican' Gazette. JOHN F. CRAIG. John F. Craig Esq., whom the Re' pnblicans of this district unanimous ly placed in nomination for Stale Senator, paid a visit tu this county last week, and while in town met good many of our people and with evv.ry one of them he left a most fa vorable impression. He is a roan of sound judgment, fine education, good conversationalist, a thorough busiuess man and well acquainted with the needs of the people of bis district, whom he would represent in an intelligent aud satisfactory man ner. Of him the Ridgway Advocate, whose editor, Mr. Baker, contested with Mr. Craig for the nomination, has this just tribute: Mr. Craig, the Republican nomi nee for State Senator in the Thirty eighth district, was born near the villiage of Sligo, Clarion county, in 1832. His father, Washington Craig, owned tbe farm on which the town of Sligo is located and the family lived there for years in a log cabin in very close circumstaoces. Tbe family af terward removed to Greenville, in tbe same county, where tbe senior Craig engaged in lumbering aud milling and kept a small country store. John F.Craig's early life was spen aiding his father aud in teachiog school, "in the days of $16 pe month and board with the scholars. After a preparatory training at El der's Ridge academy he entered tbe junior class of Jefferson college i 1854 aud graduated in the class 185G. He then taught an academ in his own county and also in the state of Missouri, and entering the law office of the Hon. James Camp bell of Clarion, was admitted to the bar there in 1858. He went south to practice his profession, but on the breaking out of tbe Civil War return ed home and engaged in business as a woolen manufacturer and later, in company with his father and brothers, erected one of the best equipped and most successful flouring mills in the state at New Bethlehem. Tbey also engaged in the merchantile business there. In all these pursuits Mr. Craig has been eminently successful. After starting in the woolen business e weot out with a wagon himself, moog the farmers and others and pdiosed of his products, buying their wool in return. He achieved a reputation second to uone among them, because his goods were good od honestly made. Extending his usinbss he placed his goods on the wholesale markets, where he also took front rank as the manufacturer of one of tbe most popular and widely sold blankets ever placed on the Pitts- urg market. Mr. Craig is uot'a politician, never aving been before the public in his life as a candidate for aov office, and id not seek the present nomination. Although a staunch Republican, Mr. Craig is conserative. He is popular with the workiogmen, having extend ed very liberal credits to them, and t is said never distressed a poor man or forced a collection in his life. He is closely connected and identified with the people and I heir interests, and will go before tbem with a good record as a well educated man, versed n the law, experienced and capable as a manufacturer. He is a man of ne judgment, and unquestioned hon esty and iutegrity, as is shown by the igh esteem in which he :s held. The lumber dealers of Leslie coun ty, Ky., are said to have lost at least $50,000 owing to the Gorman tariff. Farm hands in tbe same state who used to receive $1.50 per foot for sawed logs delivered at Frankfort are now getting from 75 cents to $1. Sheep that sold from $2.00 to 2.50 in 1892 now bring $1. Every branch of business has decreased nne-balf siuce President Harrison's administration. Tbe people cannot pay their taxes, and hundreds of Democrats are de serting their party. The Hastiug's canvass this week ncludes Mercer, Venango, Crawford. Erie and Washington counties after which he will go to Luzerne and Lackawanaand then to Philadelphia. No other evidence is needed that he is fully meeting tbe expectations of the people and discussing the ques tion in which they are most concerned than the fact that it is uo unusual thing for them to address audiences of 5,000 or 6,000 people in places where such crowds have heretofore been unheard of in any former cam paign. General Hastings is undeni ably the people's candidate, and as such will receive the largest majority ever given a candidate in the State. Tins is the proper time to talk to your neighbor about getting out to vote. Republicans should not need to be urged this year. Every vote ehuuld be polled without fail, and the way to poll a full vote is to get out yourself and bring your neighbor with you. The Pittsburg Commercial Gazette observes that tbe movements of Geo eral Hastings and bis campaigu ora tors bave beeu the occasion of a series of ovations scarcely paralleled io tbe bistury of State politics. Republi cans rally to the meetings in large numbers and bail the speakers with unbouuded enthusiasm. Tbe people seem to be in deeper earnest than tbey have been in many years. And why should they not be? A wonder ful change has como ever the business and industrial interests of the coun try since 1892. The entering wedge has been driven which is to split the bulwark of protection into kindling wood, and the shock of the blow has been tremendous. The wage worjters, the manufacturers and business men generally have an object lesson in po litical economy which comes home directly to their pockets aud which tbey cannot soon forget. This is why they are taking such a lively interest in tbe present campaign and why tbe great majority ol them desire tbe suc cess of tbe Republican State ticket, General Hastings as Governor of l'eonsylvania may bave nothiog whatever to do with tariff legislation, but bis election by an over whelming majority will have an im portant bearing on that uational issue Further assaults upon our industries roust cease, and tbe most effective way to stay tbe hands of the tariff de8tructiomsts is to defeat them ev erywhere and at all points. Has tiugs' majority, which is now estimat ed at not less than 200,000. will be tbe protest of the Keystone State agaiost the policy of free tradu. Tbe vole in CuDgressioual districts will each tell its own story, but tbe voice of the State will be. expressed in tbe vote lor Hastings. Forest Flouring Mill I WAGNER BROS, PROPRIETORS.
