Sketch of the Republican Candidates.
David Newel Fell nominee for Supreme
Judge was born in Buckingham township-
Bucks county, in November, 1840. His
father was superintendent of the Bucks
county schools and conducted his early
education. He attended and graduated
from the Millersville State Normal School.
In August, 1862, immediately after leaving
school, he enlisted in the army, and rose
from the rank of lieutenant to major of the
One Hundred and Twenty-second Penn
sylvania Volunteers. At the close of the
war he studied law in Pniladelphia with
his brother, the late W. W. Fell, and was
admitted to the bar on March 1", 1866. He
was elected a member of the Philadelphia
Common Council and appointed a member
of the Municipal* Commission.
On May 2, 1877, Maj. Fell was appointed
by Gov. Hart ran ft to a vacancy on the
bench of the Philadelphia Court of
Common pleas No. 2. The same year he
was elected without opposition for the
full term of 10 years, and in 1887 was
unanimously re-elected. He has made a
fine recold as an able and upright member
of tbe bench.
Col. Samuel M. Jackson named for State
Treasureship was born on a farm near
Apollo, Armstrong county, on September
24, 1833. He attended lor a while the
Jacksonville Academy, in Indiana county,
but was unable to finish his course by
reason of his father's death. He joined the
militia as a drammer boy when 13 years
of age. Subsequently he became a captain.
When the war broke out he recruited Co
G, of the Eleventh Pennsylvania Reserves,
of which he was chosen captain. On July
2, 1861, he was promoted to Major, October
28 same year he was made Lieutenant
colonel, and on April 10, 1862, became
Colonel. He served for three years. He
was twice wounded and rendered gallant
and efficient service on many hotly con
tested battle fields, notably South Moun
tain, Antietam, Frederiksburg, Gettysburg
and the "Wilderness. At Spottsylvania be
commanded the brigade and was breveted
brigadier general for gallant conduct.
At the close of the war Col. Jackson en
gaged in the oil businoss in Venango
county, but subsequently returned to Arm
strong coanty. In 1869 he was elected to
the lower House of the Legislature and in
1871 was re-elected. Four years later he
was elected to the State Senate. In 1871
he became cashier of the Apollo Savings
Bank, an office he still holds. He is also
secretary of the firm of P. H. Laufman &
Co., manufactures of Bheet iron, tin plate,
etc.
WK are obliged to Senator Mitchell, of
Oregon, for a copy of his late speech in
the Senate on the Silver Question.
Mr Mitchell is one of the ablest champ
ions of the silver industry in the senate.
There i* Money Enough.
Those persons who persist in attributing
the recent monetary crisis to a lack of
money have not an iota of fact to stand up
on. The truth is that the crisis came up
un us in a season of inflation —On Septem
ber 1 the whole stock of currency in the
country—gold, silver and paper—was $2,-
150, 160, 817. Of this vast sum sl, 680,-
562, 671 was in the hands of the people,
$447,598,146 in the custody of the Govern
ment. Never before in the history of the
country, either in good times or bad times,
was there so much money in circulation,
nor money of such universal credit and
purchasing power. Practically, the gold
dollar is the unit of value of the whole
vast aggregate.
The trouble which befell us was the
doubt thrown upon the ultimate ability of
the Government to keep over-valued silver
and paper currency, amounting to $1,500,-
000,000, at par with gold if the policy of
silver purchases should be persisted in.
The result of that doubt has given us a
frightful and timely lesson though the
fearful losses consequent on shaken con
fidence and disturbed credit. But the
lesson will have been thrown away if we
shall attempt to cure the evils that beset
us by still further tempting financial de
struction by issues of promises to jjay dol
lars without adequate provision for redem
tion when the dollars shall have been call
ed for.
Senator Cameron on Silver.
Wo quoted Senator Quay'* long-looked
for speech on the silver question the other
day. It was very short. We now have
the opportunity of quoting tho speech of
Pennsylvania's senior senator on the tame
important subject. Senator Cameron's
observation was shorter than Senator
Quey's. It was interjected into the re
marks of Senator Teller, of Colorado. "It
makes a difference whose ox is gored," he
suggested while Teller was showing the
inconsistency, in his opinion, of the Kast
ern press criticising delay against the silver
ropeal, and urging delay against thej Federal
Election repeal. Mr. Teller said ho accept
ed the suggestion of the senator from I'enn
aylvania.
The silverites have been claiming Mr.
Cameron as one of their number, and this
short speech showed his sympathy with
Mr. Teller, Indeed, that senator is quoted
as saying that Mr. Cameron has olfered the
silver men aid in delaying a vote. "If you
need me," Cameron is represented as
•aying, "I will occupy a day in speaking
on the subject.'' The spectacle of Penn
sylvania's senior senator assisted tho camp
filibuster* in their great feat of talking
against time wonld not be a particularly
edifying one.— Chron. Telegraph.
AT the Kepublicau Club Convention at
Heading, Wednesday, Cameron was de
nounced as a traitor to his
At Beaver this week Lambright was tried
for tho killing of Kirkpatrick iu the coun
ty jail. The killing was admitted, but the
defense plead insanity, and he was
acquitted.
Shameless Don. Reads a Speech.
To the surprise of nearly everyone, Sen
ator Cameron last Monday submitted a few
remarks on the silver question. For over
a week ha had been telling his friends it
was his intention to make a speech against
the repeal bill, but somehow his assertions
gained little credence. Few believed that
the anomally of a Republican Senator fr< IB
Pennsylvania voting for free coinage would
be overshadowed by the same senator mak»
a speech on the same line. Bnt this proved
to be the case.
"When Senator Stewart finished his re
marks Monday afternoon the senior senator
from the old Keystone state was observed
to rise, adjust his glasses, unroll a mass of
manuscript and then address the chair.
The other Senators mastered their suprise,
and as Senator Cameron began to read in a
low tone they left their seats and gathered
around him, anxious to hear how he wonld
defend his queer position. But to their
surprise his main contention was that the
Sherman law had not been injurous to the
state of Pennsylvania and therefore there
was no necessity for its repeal.
The senator read in such a low and mo
notonous tone that his remarks could not
be heard by the clerks. He appeared to
be ill at ease and was evidently glad when
the ordeal was over. The Senator occupi
ed only about a half hour's time, and when
he concluded he was congratulated by the
silver senators and his crony, Senator But
ler of South Carolina. In substance the
senator's remark- were as follows:
The chief claim of our nation is
that America has asserted the most em
phatic possible negative to the policy ar.d
methods of the moneyed power of Kngland.
The official, avowed policy ot England is
to prevent the restoration of silver to its
function as money, because the moneyed
interests of England require, or think they
require, a monometallic gold standard.
Any further measure, therefore, which
tends to discredit silver is at least for the
moment a furtherance of the British policy
In voting against such measure. I stand,
therefore, on assured ground. If anyone
is to ofFer explaination or excuse for his
vote it is not I, it is the senators who vote
on the other side.
The much abused Sherman act does not
injure Pennsylvania. Under this »ft we
increase the currency now about $30,000,-
000 a year, barely enough to meet tbe
needs of the natural increase of population.
In a very few years this act will unduly
restrict the coinage. The people of Penc
gylvania want even now, and expressly re
quire a greater increase than this.
If silver is sacrificed the manufacturers
will be responsible for it, and in that case
1 take it for granted that the silver states
will revenge tnemselves by throwing all
their weight on the side of a reduction of
the tariff." Our manufacturers might flour
ish on low silver and high tariff; they must
perish on gold and low tariff.
My propositions are these: I propose a
gold loan of so many hundred million dol
lars as congress may decide, to be bought
at the market rate and held in the treasury
as the gold reserve is held in the bank ot
France and by the governments or the
Latin Cnion. .
I propose to open onr minta to the tree
coinage of American silver, imposing a
duty on the import of foreign silver.
I propose, furthor, to repeal the tax on
state bank circulation. s*
I would also press once more for action
in favor of our shipping.
To meet, in part, the deficit of our in
come for next year, I would impose the du
t* of 2 cents a pound on and repeal
the bounty. I would wait a year to
see how the system worked and how lar
we were affected by foreign influence.
QUAY and Cameron are both in favor of
a return to state bank issues. Good Lord,
How long t

The Second Annual Convention ot the
Butler County Christian Endeavor Union
met in the Presbyterian Church, Center

at the Normal. The Convention convened
at 9 o'clock, opened with devotional
exercises. We listened to a poem, by
Miss Nina McCullough of Chicora, "Our
Monogram E within the C," or "Tho En
deavor in Christ." This was well written
and brought forth remarks lrom several.
A paper on "Faithfulness to committee
work"' was read by Miss Laura Bullmanjof
Martinsburg. It contained many helpful
suggestions, as did the discusion following.
The beauty and helpfulness of "Interde
nominational fellowship" was clearly
shown by an earnest talk by Mr. R. h.
> English of Fairview. Mr. Ira Graham of
Evans City, took charge of the question
box. By this time all were thoroughly
aroused and many questions wore asked
and ably answered. The afternoon session
opened at 1,30 "song and praise service"
conducted by Mr. S. Speer of Foxburg
A short business meeting followed.
The following officers wore elec ted for the
ensuing year: Pres. Mr. P. W. Lowry,

Evans City; Rec. Sec. Miss Vina McCnl
lough, Chicora; Cor. Sec. Miss Lotta B.
White, Butler; Treas.. Mr. C. H. Maybury,
Centreville.
Gratifying reports were given by the
local societies,which showed that advance
ment had been made during the year.
Miss White, District Secretary, then
gave "A Retrospective and Prospective
view of County work." "We have 28 so
cieties, with a membership of about 1000,
representing seven Denominations. Kev.
Miller then read a paper on "Pauls En
deavors," prepared by Mr. R. F. McMeekin
of Chicora. lie spoke of Paul's willingness
to work, and said ii every Endeavor would
work as earnestly, again the dawning of
the new century, all the world wo'ild have
been brought to Christ. "What is your
aim, Christian Endeavor t" Mr. Maybury
certainly understands the object of this
movement, and in a clear, concise man
ner, we were each told our duty. Then
came a two fold topic, ably diMcnssjd by
Kev. Snyder and Ira (iraham. Ist, "How
can a society help its pastor." 2d, "How
ctu a pastor help the society Vfter re
marks by Rev. Miller. Missus Lowry,Boyd
and others, wo adjourned to meet at 7:00
At the close of song service, we listened to
an ably address by Rev. W. 11. McMilliun,
I). D., of Allegheny. The church was fill
ed to overflowing, the rapt attention given
showed that all wero interestod in the
Christian Endeavor movement. The con
secration meeting following the lecture
was conducted by Dr. McMillian, oppor
tunity was given for personal "Consecration,
many consecrated themselves to tho Lord's
work. It was a meeting long to be re
membered. This was to have been the
closing meeting of Convention, but the
delegates met for a short prayer meeting
the next morning before leaving for their
homes. We returned home bringing with
us many remembrances of the hearty wel
come and kind hospitality of the people of
Centreville, and we will oyer remember
our Second Annual Convention.

Extract From Judge Agnew's late Ad
dress in Pittsburg.
'•Certainly the masses of the people, es
pecially those engaged in labor, are great
ly benefited by the free articles. They
enter largely into the consumption of the
numerous classes and cheapen their living.
When you come to the high duties you
find them laid on Injuries and on those ar
ticles which come into injurious compe
tition with onr own products ot labor
luxuries used by the wealthy which the
more numerous classes do not wish to buy,
such as jewelry, fine glassware, wines,
costly fabrics, fine broadcloths, silks.laces,
rich dresses, and a variety of costly
goods.
Higher duties are also laid on these ar
ticles which come into direct competition
with our own products of labor, manu
facturing and common industry. What
complaint can the numerous classes of the
people make against a system which pro
vides so generously for them? The higher
duties keep our mines, mills, lurnaces..fac
tories and other home industries going and
these keep labor employed. Low duties
and the free articles cheapen living and
give great comfort. Thus the laboring
classes are benefited by both high and low
duties and free articles. They are neces
sarily alarmed by the threatened changes.
The law also enables the Government to
make advantageous trading treaties with
tbofe countries from which we have been
excluded by the trade of foreign nations.
It seems to me that beyond all question
the new policy which threatens such
changes is the true cause of the fear and
the distrust which the President so em
phatically state?. Outside of the bank
suspensions we find fear and distrust pre
vailing—mills ar.d factories all over the
Union shutting down, others giving notice
of a reduction of wages from 10 to "20 per
cent., others reducing hours and turns,
mining ceasing, miners striking, large
dealers failing, railroads going into tho
hands of receivers, others reducing service
and assigning (notably the Northern Pa
cific,) large houses failing, stocks running
down in New York to the lowest prices
known; in short, universal panic and dis
trust prevailing."
TWELVE persons were instantly killed
and many seriously injured by a terrible
railroad accident at Kingsbury, Indiaua,
on the "Wabash road, early Friday morn

opened the switch after the first section oi

A Political Traitor.
Senator Cameron misrepresents tho sen
timent of Pennsylvania - and is false to tho
principles of the Republican whenhe
stands in the Senate of the I nited States
as the falteriug and shame faced advocate
of quantity of money as against quality.
Senator Cameron should resign. Unfor

that he is not possessed of sufficient politi

AT Roanoke, Va , last Monday night, a
mob attempted to take a prisoner from the
county jail; the militia was called out, th e
mob fired upon them, tho militia returned
tho fire, aud seven of the inob, well known
citizens of the town were killed. Daring

Sequel to a Tragic Death.
Tyrone, I'a., Sept. 22.
The sequel to the tragic suicide of Gen
eral Robert A. McCoy 11 days ago was ilie
failure to-day of the big coal firm of Mc-
Coy, Liverwrigbt <fc Co., tho most exten
sive bituminous operators in this section
of the State. For 19 years previous to his
death, General McCoy had been cashier of
Blair County Banking Company, and to
day that firm called for a settlement of
heavy loans made to the General, the head
of the coal company. This crash reveals
what is supposed to have been the real
reason for General McCoy's suicide. At
the time of his death he was supposed to
have property worth SIOO,OOO clear of all
debt, but the secret of tho coming failure
was not then out, aud perhaps he alone
knew it.
The main office of the coal firm of Me
Coy, Liverwright <t Co. is in Philadelphia
and to-rlay judgment,* were entered there
for $31,000 on transcripts of judgments
from Clearfield county. When the Blair
County Hanking Company called for it*
loan the coal people could tot meet it.
When the body ol General McCoy waa
found in his room here, on the morning of
September 12, a note of a lew word* wan
lying near the bed. This note read: "1
want to be with Kuima and Wallace." mm Z,
Kimna was his deceased wife and Wal
lace his dead son. As McCoy was consid
ered wealthy it was supposed that sorrow
for the loss of his wife and son led to sui
cide.
It is now known that the General had
made big invostmeuts recently that failed,
lie knew that there must come a crash
Dormer or later, and he chose to avoid it.
General McCoy was a Cambria County
lawyer before the war. He served three
years in the Tenth Pennsylvania Reserves,
was a Libby prisoner and came out of the
conflict a brigadier general. He waa an
ardent Republican, and for somo time was
Governor Andrew O. Curtin's private sec
retary. He had gi;eat influenco politically
in this section, but did not care much for
public office.

TO THE WORLD S FAIR.
Some of the Advantages of the
Most Desirable Route.
Of the railways centering at the World's
Fair City none have better demonstrated
ample ability and facilities for handling
large crowds expenditioualy, safely and
comfortably than the Pennsylvania lines.
This system of railways has two principal
arteries running to Chicago which are
tapped by laterals reaching all of Western
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. The
main lines stretch in direct routes from
Pittsburg, Columbus, Cincinnatti, Louis
ville and the intermediate territory,
touching at all the principal cities and
towns, from which through trains run
without change to the very gates of the
World's Fair. During the past year the
tracks of this system have under gone
extensive improvements, the tram service
has been augumented, and the policy ot
the Pennsylvania to properly adopt every
plan or device conducing the welfare of
its patrons is conspicuous in these im
provements. In addition to being the
most direct route to Chicago from the ter
ritorv traversed by them, these lines offer
among other thinis, the following advan
tages for a delightful journey to the
W oilU's Fair:
More lb rough daily trains to Chicago
from this locality run over the Pennsyl
vania thaa over any other railway. The
equipment includes Pullman, estibule,
Dining and Sleeping Cars and clean and
comfortable modern coaches, embodying
every comfort tor a pleasant trip. Toe
only rock- ballasted roadbed from this
vicinity to Chicago is the Pennsylvania,
so that there is no nuuoyauce from dust,

printed in the Record.
In the Senate, all last week, nothing was J
done bat kill time, and all motions to
| close debate on the silver repeal bill were
voted down. Representative Dalzell was
quoted as saying of the Senate:
"I think they will talk over silver re
peal until the Federal election repeal bill
reaches them, and on the latter measure
they will fillibuster until the end of the
session."
■Wednesday's session ot the Senate was
interesting on account of the personalities
indulged in, and at the end of the day it
looked as though the anti repealers would
win the light.
