Philadelphia, Sept. 19. There has been a clearing of the po litical atmosphere In the last few days. The Republican managers have every reason to be elated over recent devel opments. The substitution of an en tire now set of local Republican candi dates, after the voluntary withdrawal of the original nominees in the interest of party harmony has had a far-reaching Influence toward cementing and strengthening the Republican forces In this city. The selection of Dr. Neff, a promi nent mt'mber of the Union League and medical director of the Jefferson Hos pital, for sheriff, the renomlnation of Coroner Dugan, In response to the re quest of many citizens, the naming ot William Emsley, an ex-department commander of the Grand Army, and Howard A. Chase, another leading member of the Union League for com missioners, has given the Republicans a ticket of which they may well be proud. Steps will be Immediately taken for an aggressive local campaign, and there Is no doubt of the election of the entire Republican ticket by a large majority. From the interior counties Chairman Wesley R. Andrews, of the Republican state committee continues to receive the most gratifying reports. The so-called Lincoln party has been demonstrated to be little more than a combination of offic e-seekers. Their ef forts to draw votes from the Republican ticket will not have substantial results. An Idea of the character of the men In the movement may be formed from the fact that II. C. Niles, of York, who figures as state chairman, was twice defeated for the Republican nomina tion for superior Judge. When he pre sented resolutions In tb York county Silberbers Prices That SILBERBERG, That the Certificates of Deposit issued by THE OIL CITY TRUST COMPANY pay FOUR PER CENT?

Capital, Surplus and Undivided Profits, $657,040.12 convention In lino with the platform of thu Lincoln party he got but three votes In favor of them, and one of these votes was his own. fleorge E. Mnpes, the secretary, has been voting against Republican candidates for years. For mer Senator Emery, of McKean, was defeated by the Republicans when he ran as an Independent candidate for congress, and he has never forgotten or forgiven the leaders of the Republi can organization who defeated him. He is out for revenge. Charles lienor Clark, of Montgomery, who presided over the Lincoln party convention, is disgruntled because President Roose velt declined to appoint him to a po sition In tho department of commerco and labor. Clark has been fighting tho Republican party for years. He ia a pronounced free sllverite. Former Con gressman Drunun, of Schuylkill, an other conspicuous figure among the LIncolnltes, has a record at an orlgiml Greenbacher. He was an applicant for position under McKinley and Roosevelt and was turned down. He now, too, wants to reform the Republican party. Former Congressman Thropp, of Bedford county, who was chairman ot the commute on resolutions of the Lincoln party, la a disappointed and disgruntled office seeker. He wan turned down for re-election to congress by the Republicans of his district, and he has ever since been working against Republican nominees, but he has no following at home. These are but a few of the men who are running the Lincoln party. Their only hope for recognition in the future line lies in the disruption of the Re publican party. Tho loyal Republicans of Pennsylva nia will not permit them to succeed In their party-wrecking campaign. They will snow them under In an avalanche of Republican ballots In No-vember. SWELL ATI High Esteem In Which Candidate Plummer Is Held By Neighbors. INSURGENT FLINGS RESENTED From the Pulpit and Bench, In the Business World and Among the Wage Earners, Republican Nominee It Commended. Nothing hag occurred in the history of local politics in this section during recent years to create such a thor ough storm ot Indignation among the people of this locality, says a special from Altoona to the Philadelphia In quirer, as did the unjust attack made In a speech delivered by O. H. Hewlt, of Hollidaysburg, before the meeting of the Lincoln Party committee, held In Philadelphia and aimed directly against his fellow-townsman, J. Lee Plummer, the Republican nominee for state treasurer of Pennsylvania. Mr. Hewlt'a remarks reflecting upon Mr. Plummer'i standing In the com munity were promptly resented by some of the most prominent men In Blair county, Irrespective of their po litical affiliations. Citizens of Hollidaysburg were par ticularly Incensed at the attack made upon Mr. Plummer and were quick to speak their minds on the subject. Mr. Hewlt declares that he was misquoted, but whether he was correctly reported or not, citizens generally hereabouts have taken occasion to vent their In dignation at the wrong done Mr. Plummer, about whose standing in the community there Is but one opinion. It Is of the very highest The esteem In which Mr. Plummer Is held may be gathered from a few public statements made to a represen tative of the Philadelphia Inquirer. From Judge and Pastor. President Judge Martin Bell says: "I have known J. Lee Plummer Inti mately for 25 years. He Is a model husband and father, and his private character has been pure and free from all taint of wrong-doing. Hla honesty and Integrity, both as a citizen and lawyer, are unquestioned In this com munity." Rev. George S. Woomer, pastor of the First M. E. Church of Hollidays burg, where Mr. Plummer attends, Is quoted: "For more than two years I have been a resident of Hollidaysburg and the pastor of the First Methodist church located In this town. Hon. J. Lee Plummer Is a member of the church and a regular attendant at the church services. He is one of the trustees of the church, and for nine years has been the secretary and treasurer of the board. He has the confidence and esteem of the church membership and of the community at large. His private life and character are above reproach and his family life is Ideal. He holds my confidence and esteem as a man and as a Christian minister." John D. Blair, a prominent lawyer, says: "Mr. Plummer Is one of our best citizens. He has always been Indus trious, upright, honest and honorable. A man of the very highest morals. I know of no one to whom I would trust my private affairs more Implicitly than to Mr. Plummer. Acquainted with the trials of one who has never lost his close sympathy with the struggling masses, the people of Blair county by repeated ballot have borne testimony of their estimate of his worth. His friends are of the very best people of this community and their ardent sup port of hlra Is the evidence of their esteem." W. I. Woodcock, a prominent mem ber of the bar, states: "I have been In timately acquainted with Mr. Plum mer. He read law In my office. He Is a man of unimpeachable Integrity and unassailable moral character. Ho Is strictly temperate, being an active member of the Methodist church." Rev. P. Verliker, of St Mark's Catholic church, frankly said: "He Is a gentleman from first to last He Is a good neighbor, a good citizen and con sidered so by all with 'whom I have come In contact Both-Republicans and Democrats here hold him In high es teem. The local citizens generally are willing to give him their support and anxious to see his election to the high office of the state treasurer. He is first among the first gentlemen of this bor ough and morally as well as otherwise a most respected resident" J. A. B. Melvln, president of the Al toona Trust company, haB this frank Interview: "I have Intimately known J. Lee Plummer about 22 years. I have lived a neighbor with him 18 years, nlno of which have been on the same lawn, therefore have knowledge of his dally life during all these years. He has been uniformly kind and obliging and In every possible way has been to me a desirable neighbor. He Ir today and always has been a respected citizen of the town. He has been careful in his daily life. He Is a member and offi cial of the McthodlBt church, and won his way to present position of promi nence through native ability, aided by such good qualities as named above." J. King McLannghan, Sr., president of tho McLanngliun Stone Muchtno company, litis this to say: "I have never heard anything dorogntory to Mr. Plun tuor, and always found him to bo an honest, upright citizen. I believe ho will make an efficient state treasurer, and In my opinion the people of Holli daysburg, Irrespective of politics, In tend to vote for him." "The People Like Him." P. W. Snyder, a well-known druggist, says: "Mr. Plummer Is an honest, un right citizen, and has the respect of the residents of Hollidaysburg. He Is a man among men, and socially he is the Thompson's Barosma has positively made wonderful cures in Bright's Dis ease, Sciatio Rheumatism, Kidney and Liver diseases, Lumbago and Female Weakness.

The people of Hollldays. burg like him, but, like other men la public life, he has some political ene mies. I believe he will receive a mag nlflcent vote In this town and county." From Wage Earner and Merchant John A. Flltz, a well-known wage- earner of Hollidaysburg, candidly says "I believe I am only voicing the sen timent ot the working people when stating that no man Is better liked or more popular here than 3. Lee Plum mer. He Is friendly and courteous, and well thought of by all." Frank Glessner, a leading merchant, says: "Mr. Plummer Is a man of good moral character, an excellent citizen and In my opinion the people here can only speak ot him In highest terms and respect." Charles Hartsock, an aged engineer, who Is past 72 years, says: "I have known Mr. Plummer for 32 years, and In my estimation there Is not a more honest or popular man In Blair coun ty." John II. Law, a leading merchant and Democrat, li quoted: "I consider J. Lee Plummer to be one of the fairest men In the county, His dealings with the people are characterized by truth and honesty. Morally he Is one of thi cleanest men I ever knew. 1 km Democrat but will vote tot him be cause I know he Is honest" These expressions come virtually spontaneously from the people of Hoi Ildnyshurg, where J. Lee Plummer, tho candidate fur state treasurer, re sides. They form a tribute which era phaplzes his true worth and character, MARKET REPORT. New York Provision Market. New York, Sept. 18.
