THE 28TH DISTRICT.
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.
