SMART & SILBERBERG, OIL CITY, PA. 11CI1TO.G.I fc.n Old Politician's Desire For Re venge Upon Republican Leaders. TO HOLD BOLTING CONVENTIOM Wansmakerism Called Upon To Heir. Out a Desperate Attempt To Injun he Candidates on the Republicar State Ticket (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia. Sept. 3. Colonel Alex anrter K. MeClure, who has been s member of every political party thai has had an existence during the last half century, excepting, of course, th Prohibition party, has determined tc hold an Independent state convention in this city on the 12th of September Colonel MeClure Is Just now on th rampage and is out for revenge. Hi i disgruntled because the Republican organization of this city refused tc renominate his brother-in-law, Simon Gratz, for the lucrative position ol member of the board of revision ol taxes. Mr. Gratz has been a membei of this hoard for a number of yeart and under his administration there have been many complaints regarding the discriminations in favor of tht wealthy classes In the assessments ol real estate for the purpose of taxation WHY McCLL'RE KICKS. The Republican leaders of this cit) determined to reform present condi tions and they had a bill passed at tht last session of the legislature repeal lng thewot under which the member! of this hoard were appointed by tht board of judges, and requiring that these positions shall, hereafter, be filled by elections by the people. MeClure was Intensely disappointed over this move and he Bwore ven ganee against the Republican part) leaders in this rity and in the state. He had been petted and favored b) the Republican organization for a number of years and he seemed tc have gotten the idea that be musl nave everything ne wanted without a question being raised. A CASE OF BROTHER-IN-LAW. Another brother-in-law of MeClure Alfred Gratz. almost cost the Repufr licnn party the loss of the office ol register of wills some years ago when he was forced upon tbe Republican party as its candidate by the late James MrManes, to oblige MeClure who was, at that time, at the head of the Philadelphia Times, and whe worked all parties to accomplish hie personal ends. There was a popular revolt against the Gratz nomination and he only won out at the polls by the aid of Demo crats who believed in McManes and who sold out their party nominee and gave Gratz hla election by a misera ble plurality of Ies3 than 2,011ft, when any strong randidate should have had 40,000 majority at least. Now. MeClure, although It Is about time for him to retire from the po litical arena, demands the re-election of bis second brother-in-law for the board of revision of taxes In this city, and because the leaders of tbe Reuub- liean organization have determined to shut off the MeClure Income from the Republican party he proposes to Join hands with the remnants of the old insurgent organization, and have a state convention all to himself, with Wanamakerism supplying the funds to finance the game, and seek to cut down the Republican majority In the coming state campaign. MeClure Is the chairman of the so called "Union party's" subcommittee which Is running the Independent movement in the state, and George E. Mapea, an old time Cleveland sup porter Is secretary of the committee which has the matter in charge and which Is looking after the transporta tion of small fry and disappointed politicians, who are willing to come here and figure In an Independent con vention provided their railroad fare Is paid, and they are given money to pay their board and meet other "necessary expenses." TO BE A PACKED CONVENTION. The original proposition was to hold this Independent convention In Har rlsburg, but when a canvas of the state disclosed the fact that it would be Impossible to get any number of representative men to attend such a gathering from the interior counties the plans were quickly changed and It was determined to seek the aid of the Wanamaker contingent in this city and to have them hire enough men to make a fairly good showing at the so-called convention. It Is known that arrangements have already been made to get a large num ber of politicians who have been dis missed from various departments In this city to go as "delegates" to this fake convention and to endeavor to make it appear that there Is a great popular sentiment against the Repub lican ticket There will not be one per cent, of the men In this convention who will not be there for a selfish and personal Interest and who will not hope to gain something through the defeat of the Republican party. TO NAME A DEMOCRAT. There is no indication that there is to be any change from the original program for the nomination of the Democratic candidate for justice of the supreme court, Judge Yerkea. for that office, and the selection of E. A, Coray, a Wanamaker instrgent of Lu zerne for state treasurer. The Me Clure crowd still want to have the Democratic candidate for state treas urer, Representative Palm, withdraw from the fight In order that they may have Coray's name placed unon the Democratic ticket, but It is not believed that this can be accomplished.

STi ALERT Developments in Allegheny Coun ty Won't Heln Insurgents. REGULARITY WILL PREVAIL Republicans Will Enter Upon the State Canvass With a Determination To Crush Out Possible Opposition In Next Year's Gubernatorial Campaign (Special Correspondence.) Harrlsburg, Sept S. No doubt the sensation In state politics of the last week was the action of the recorder of Pittsburg In removing from office a number of well-known supporters of Senator William Fllnn, and supplant ing them with men Identified with the stalwart Republican forces of the Al legheny county politics. These changes were not unexpected and there was reason to believe that they were to have been made some time ago. No matter what construc tion may be placed upon the action of the recorder, It Is a fact that there will be no serious severing of the per sonal and political relations which have existed betv. een the stalwart Re publican leaders of western Pennsyl vania. THE SAME OLD GAME. The Insurgent newspapers have been endeavoring to make capital out of this move on the part of the new recorder, but they have thus far failed to make any impression upon the par ty men who believe In the principle of majority rule, and who hold that any man Identified with a party organiza tion should promptly and gracefully submit to the will of the majority. The most labored efforts have been made during the last few days to have it appear that there Is a serious breach between Governor Stone and Senator Quay over the action of the Pittsburg recorder, but there has not been the slightest foundation (or any such statements. STALWARTS WILL BE STRONGER The stalwart Republican organiza tion in Allegheny county will be strengthened, and the predictions that Allegheny county will give the largest Republican majority to the state tick et that has been gotten from that county in recent years in an off year campaign will unquestionably be ful filled. The opening of the Republican state campaign, which will occur within a few days, will be marked by a de gree of enthusiasm among the rank and file of the party organization such as has not been witnessed in recent years. There is a disposition to prepare for the campaign which is to take place next year over the election of a governor, and to silence, for all time, tbe guns of the Insurgent batteries which are being directed against the regular Republican organization. The Insurgents are not even a little bit hopeful in the present canvass, and if the stalwarts only put their should ers to the wheel and roll up an Im mense majority this fall, they will practically dispose of the opposition for next year's campaign. The insur gents, now that Flinn has been de prived of the source of all his political power, the control of the patronage in Pittsburg, cannot bank upon any western reserve, such as they have had In the past AHegehny county, with the follow ing which David Martin had in Phila delphia, contributed over 80 per cent of the Insurgent following in the last two sessions of the legislature. With Fllnn practically out of business In Al legheny, and Martin no longer a power In Philadelphia, the insurgent move ment has little else to fall back up in besides the Wanamaker campaign funds and the MeClure personal Inter est outfit In the Quaker City. This will mean an infinitesimal ele ment when confronted by the trained forces of the regular Republican or ganization In every county in the cora- Unknown to Women, Every woman should read, without fail, the following paragraph. She will learn lomething about heraelfshe never knew Ijefore. Thompson's Barosma is not only a won derful ktdnev, liver and bladder cure, but has a particular advantage as a remedy forChronic Female Weakness, Palpitation of the Heart, bearing-down sensation, Nervous Debility, Leucorrhrea or Whites, and Dropsical Swellings. Its peculiar ad vantage lies in the fact that It is both a female regulator and kidney, liver and bladder cure. The womb is situated back of and very close to the bladder. A woman having any pain or distress in the back or side, at once attributes it to female weak ness when many times her trouble is en tirely from the kidneys or bladder. Hence a woman making this grave mistake will find a sure remedy in Barosma, for whether she is suffering from womb dis order or any disease of the kidneys, liver and bladder, Barosma will effect a per manent cure. For this two-fold reason Barosma is the best woman's remedy on the market Thompson's Dandeloin and Mandrake Pills should be used with the Barosma, for the liver and constipation. They are purely vegetable and do not gripe.

The Republican organlTntlon In the jtate was never lu a bolter nor more encouraging condition thnn It Is to day, and there Is every reason to be lieve that it will continue to lead Its candidates to victory for some time to come. At the recent Republican state con vention a plank was Inserted In the platform of nie party which dwelt upon the condition of the stlte finances, and which gave due credit to Governor S.one for the Ind 's ry an1 the InteHlg -nee with which he has mastered the financial problems of the commonwealth. Former Governor Hastings took ex ception to the statement made in the Republican state platform, and in re ply to his comments on this subject Secretary of Agriculture Vlla n. who Is an authority on this subject, has made a presentation of the facts and figures which bear out every proposi tion made In the Republican state platform.
