OUR CANDIDATES.
The CITIZEK presents its readers with an
excellent portrait of our candidates for
Congress-at-Large.
GEOBGE FRA.VKLIS Ht/FF.
George Franklin Huff was born in Nor
ristown, Montgomery County, Pa., July
16, 1842, and is a son ot George and Caro
line (Boyer) Huif. At four years ef age
George F. Huff was taken by his parents
to Middleton, Dauphin County, Pa., where
he attended the public schools until 1831,
when his parents removed to Altoona,
Blair County. There he attended the
public school till at the age of seventeen
years. He then entered the shops of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company to learn
the trade of car finishing. After three
years of assiduous labor he received with
out solicitation on his part, a high recom
mendation from his railroad employers to
the banking house of William M. Lloyd &
Co., who were at the time leading bankers
of Blair county. He ocoupied a position
with the firm, aud in 1865 they Bent him
to Ebensbnrg to establish a banking house.
In that mission he waa very sucoessful,
and after a year was recalled to the bank
at Altoona. In 1867 he removed to
Greensburg, and established the Greens
burg Deposit Bank of Lloyd, Huff & Co.,
with branches at Latrobe, Irwin aad Mt.
Pleasant. These banks went out of busi
ness in 1873, on account of the serious
financial embaressmeut of the senior mem
ber of the firm, W. M. Lloyd.
His politioal career began in 1880, when
he oame into national prominence in the
Republican Convention at Chioagu as one
of the "Old Guard" or "Immortal 306" in
support of General Grant foi the Preniden
tal nomination. In 1884 Mr. Huff was
the Republican candidate for State Sen
ator in the Thirty-ninth Senatorial Dis
trict, comprising Westmoreland oounty.
He was elected by a handsome majority.
In 1887 he was nominated for Congress in
the Twenty-first District by the Republi
cans of Westmoreland county, but the dis
trict nomination was secured by Samuel
A. Craig, of Jefferson county. In 1890 he
was again a candidate, and was nominated
and elected, serving two years. In 1892
he was again a candidate, but was defeat
ed for the nomination by D. B. Heiner, of
Armstrong, the present incumbent. He
was a member of Company C, Forty-sixth
Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, serv
ing with distinction for a brief time in the
war. He is a member of Greens burg Post,
No. 276.
GALTJSHA A. GEOW.
Galusha A. Grow is so well known to
the people of this State by reason of his
recent phenomenal victory in the oontest
• for Congressman-at-Large, he receiving a
plurality of over 190,000, that an extended
■ketch is unnecessary. He was born in
Connecticut, in 1824, and at an early age
he removed with his parents to Snsque
hanna county, in this State. Arriving at
manhood, Mr. Grow studied law, was ad
mitted to the Bar. and soon became active
is politics. He was elected to Congress
in 1850, and served in that body contin
uously for twelve years, being Speaker of
the House during his last term, 1861 to
1863. For thirtv years thereafter Mr.
Grew held no public office, although he
was always active in the promotion of Re
publican principles and in support of Re
publican candidates. In February last
the ex-Speaker was elected to succeed the
late Gen. Lily, Congressman-at-Large from
this State.
ALL honest and decent men rejoice at
the defeat of Col. Breckenridge in Ken
tucky. Every debauchee in the land would
have hailed his success as an endorsement
of the life he is living. Breckonridge's
audacity was appalling, and he had the
advantage of the oontrol of the party
machinery and a divided opposition, but he
was beaten.
The Louisville "Courier-Journal," ac
cepting the defeat of Col. Breckenridge as
beyond controversy, declares "there was
never such a political oontest fought out
to the bitter end anywhere in the world,''
but rejoices that it culminated without a
tragedy, and " happily nothing happened
which the waters of oblivion may not
wash." Tho issno, it says, was distinctly
between morality and immorality, and it
engulfed all other issues. It adds:
In the face of the storm raised snd the
odds at stake, it is amazing that Colonel
Breckenridge, eloqueut and brilliant as he
is conceded to be, held his own so well
and polled so many rotes. That there wae
not a total collapse is proof of a vitality
almost incredible.
But these who opposed his nomination
were terribly in earnest. They believed
that they were obeying God's mandate.
They buliovcd thoy wore saving the dis
trict and the 3taf.e a dire calamity. The
lea<t excited among them, admitting all
that might beclaiuied lor the ability of Co).
Breckenridge, honestly thought that his
capacity for useful service was ended.
A Reversible Statesman.
They continue to have # good deal of a
time and some amusement with Congress
man Joe Sibley out in the Twenty-sixth
district. The uncertainties of Mr. Sibley's
mind are such as to keep people guessing,
and you don't know much better what's
going to happen than you do at an old*
fashioned donkey party.
This reversible statesman, who doesn't
belong to any political party, has once or
twice telegraphed his declination of a re
nomination for Congress, but the Demo
crats of the district, who are generally out
of meat, are not prepared to let him get
away. Mr. Sibley's campaign two years
ago was such an agreeable relief to empty
Democratic pockets that It has been deem
ed necessary that there should be a repeti
tion of it. Mr. Sibley does not seem te
oonsider it necessary, but everybody else
does, and therefore, while he insists that
he is not a candidate the Democrats of the
district insist that he is.
Then Mr. Sibley takes the ground that
if they are determined to vote for him he
can't help it, only he isn't a candidate; and
if he should not be elected he would *ot
look upon it as a defeat because he isn't a
candidate. All this shows very clearly
thai Mr. Bibley is a candidate and wants
to continue to be, a? he could end the
whole business in an hour whenever he
wishes. Judge Bucher had some experi
ence, it will be remembered. He kept
writing letters of declination to Chairman
Stranahan, which for some reason Chair
man Stranahan never received, and Judge
Buoher at last got out of patience doing
business in that way and filed his with
drawal in the office of Secretary of the
Commonwealth. That ended it.
If Mr. Sibley doesn't want to be a can
didate Judge Bucher has shown him the
way to get out of it. The law provides It.
AU he need to do is to file a written declin
ation, attested by a notary public, in the
office of the Secretary of the Common
wealth fifteen days or more before eleetion
and he will be as completely withdrawn
from the canvass as he will be on the
morning after election, when he begins to
figure up how the Hon. Matthew Oriswold
got his majority. Having done this Mr.
Sibley's name would not appear on the of
ficial ballot, because the law says the
nams of a candidate withdrawn shall not
be printed. This is the way for Mr. Sib
ley to get out of the race if he wants to,
and he doesn't have to be told of it.
The fact has been made apparent, how
ever, that Mr. Sibley doesn't want to get
out. He was bled so unscrupulously in
his other oampaign that he is trying to save
himself this time, and by pretending not
to be a candidate he will be able to keep
some of the strikers at a distance. He is
merely playing a little game on the bovs -

Political Notes.
Gen. Hastings opened the Campaign,
Monday with a speech at Emporium, the
county seat of Cameron, Co. He said the
news from Kentucky came with joy
to every decent man and waman in the
land, and he discussed the Wilson bill at
length.
Hastings spoke at Bradford, Tuesday and
the orowd was so great that an "overflow"
meeting was neoessary.
At the Republican State Convention
held at Saratoga, X. Y. Tuesday, Levi P.
Morton was nominated for Governor, and
a platform was adopted, denouncing the
assaults upon the industries of the country
by the present Democratic Congress, and
deolaring anew the allegiance of the Re
publican party to the doctrine of Protect
ion for American industries. An hohest
dollar is advocated, together with the use
of gold and silver as a circulating medium.
The Ohio Democratic State Convention
at Colnmbas, Wednesday, endorsed Sena
tor Brice, and adopted a tree silver plank.
The Republicans of Nevada have asked
U. 8. Senator. John P. Jones to resign.
They say decency requires it.
In the sugar planters' oonrention at
New Orleans, Monday,there were present
not only the leading planters in Louisiana
but some of the most representative of
New Orleans. The bolters of the Dem
ocracy had every thing their own way,
and resistance to the program was but
feebly made. The convention went over
to the National Kepublican party in a
body.

Echoes of the Encampment
At the session ot Thursday Morning,
Thomas G. Lawler of Illinois was elected
Commander in Chief.
The candidates were General Ivan W.
Waiker, of Indiana, and Col. Thomas G.
Lawler, of Illinois. As they had been
nominated the previous day there were no
preliminaries, and the secretaries at once
began to call the roll by States.
Both candidates went into the election
with entire confidence. Both had made a
thorongh canvass on the previous night
and each figured that ho would have from
40 to SO votes the best of it, and were not
backward in declaring so. This was an
indication of how close the fyendly contest
reallv was.
The States were called in alphabetical
order. When Alabama was called she cast
half her vote for each candidate. From
that on till Illinois was reached Walker
had the best of it. Lawler's own State
cast a solid vote for him and succeeding
states gave him a large vote and the lead.
When Ohio was reached and gave Walker
three-fourth 3 of her big vote and Pennsyl
vania added her unit of 61 votes Walker s
stock boomed upward. At the finish Law
ler was 20 in the lead. Then the Council
of Administration was polled separately
and the tally was counted. It showed
that Lawler had 330 votes and Walker
319.
An Indiana delegate at once moved to
make Colonel Lawler's election unanimous
and with cheers and wild enthusiasm it
was formally done, General Walker mak
ing a graceful speech acknowledging hon
est defeat and wishing his successful op
ponent a happy and prosperous adminis
tration.

Have Reached the Summit.
The inrreyor* and levelm for the now
railroad are making good progress and at
this writing have passed over\he divide or
summit and proceeded about midway be
tween Kama City and Millerstown on
their way to Oneida, and tSus far have one
of the beat surveys that has ever been
made over this famous property.
At Pine Run, where the purveyors had
reached in our last issue, the route is along
the left ot Sugar creek which it follows
unl'.'. Milliron City is reached, when it
crosses the road and cuts Phillip Hillwig's
barn in the middle, follows the right side
until almost oposito the old mill bridge
whero it returns to the left and from there
continues up to about the blacksmith shop
at Kaylor, when it passes along the side
hill to the right till the Berean church is
reached. Here the road is crossed and
the bed of the run followed for a consider
able distance, when a return to the right
is made at the residence of J. S. Byers, or
what is better known as the "ghost,"
where it follows the ravine to the right
and about a mile and a half farther up en
ters the "summit" with a tunnel on the
McCullough farm.
This tunnel will be 1,000 feet long with
a 300 foot approach on this side and about
200 on the opposite. Making it 1,500 feet
in length. Opposite this hill rise two
others that were hard to get about, and
hero, after a vigorous tramp through the
woods we finally discovered the engineers
in a stew whether to run around the hills
or cut throngh them, thus saving a bad
curve and long haulage. From the tunnel
they cross the Milert McCullough and A.
and J. Moore farms, and now run against
the hardest work on the trip, as the water 3
of Bear creek.are directly in front, and
across the hill next to pass is Buffalo
creek. It was decided to make a cut
through both these hills. One will require
about 25 feet and the other not so much,
when they will gbt a straighter aud shorter
line. The P. <fc W. will be crossed here
at grade to the Elliott farm, and then be
gins the descent down about midway be
tween Karns City and Millerstown to
Oneida, which is plain sailing and is be
lieved will only require a week more to
complete. The grade has not yet been
taken. —East Brady Bedew.
THIS is the time for the best endeavors
of patriotism. It it should grasp the great
opportnnitiy now presented the Republi
can party will enter npon a new it not a
grander career in .1 he redemption of the
land from industrial paraly
sis, from the lack of confidence, which is
the father of panics, from that commer
cial frenzy which drives solvency to the
wall, and from that unscrupulous quality
of demagogy which seeks to array class
against class, capital against labor, and
section against section. — From Speech oj

vention. .
Breckenridge's Defeat,
Saturday last was an exciting day in
the Ashland Congressional district of Ken
tucky, for the d»y was to decide whether
the notorious Col. W. C. P. Breckenridge
or a respectable man named Owens should
be the regular Democratic nominee for
Congress.
The district is strongly Democratic aiul
the regnlar nomination has, heretofore,
been equivalent to an election.
Breckenridge had control of the party
organization in the district, and made a
tremendous effort to secure a re-nomina
tion.
Feeling ran so high that violenoe, all
over the district, was feared for Saturday,
and there was considerable fighting, but
only two fatal affrays ha\e been reported.
There were three candidates and Owens
received a plurality of about 300 over
Breckenridge, who will contest for the
nomination before the district committee,
which meets at Frankfort, Saturday.
THE Japanese army attacked the Chi
nese at Ping Tang, in Corea, last Satur
day, and won a complete victory. The
Chinese fled from the field leaving 2,300
dead, and enough wounded and prisoners
to make 16,000 in all.
The battle was begun at daybreak of
Saturday morning and continued till 3
o'clock Sunday morning, when two flank
ing columns, acting in perfect accord,
threw the Chinese into confusion, which
was followed by unresisted butchery.
On Friday iast the Japauose and Chinese
fleets came together at the mouth of the
Yalu river, when two of the Chinese war
ships were sunk, and two burned, but the
rest escaped. The total Chinese loss in
killed, drowned and wounded is put at
1,500.
Spidertown Gossip.
■While talking to the men of Spidertown
we bear'tbat a great many things of im
portance are b in g neglected by us, but
pardon ug, for we will do better in the
near futuro.
By the way, we hear that school was
opened last Tuesday under the auspices
of Mr. James Shepherd. We wish you
success, James. Sandy Hill against the

We are sorry to say that J. P. White

so short a vacation. You have our best

It is reported that John A. Glasgow has
completed a water well at the depth of 50
feet. Some curious freaks of natural his
tory have beeu developed according to the
report of one of the employees. Hickory
poles do good work during Democratic
administrations, so says Harry Flick.
Mrs. Ottie Flick and family, of Alle
gheny City, are spending the hot, dry
weather with her parents, Mr. and Mrs
Snyder Glasgow, of Spidertown.
George Cratty is in the employ of John
Harbison, Sr.
J. A. Glasgow's team took fright at a
steam engine and ran away with a load oi
straw recently. A bad wreck of the
straw, but no damage.
Many important fires haye occurred in
onr vicinity of late. The first of note was
on Sunday evening, a week ago. Fire was
discovered in Wm. Cunningham's woods
11 miles north of Bakerstown, fire alarms
were sounded and about 75 men and wo
men were soon on the scene. After a hard
struggle the fire was gotten under control,
but was watched till Monday morning by
many of the anxious crowd. The next
worthy of note was S. B. Harbison's straw
stack. Of all the fires recorded on the
pages of history this is the most miraculous.
The fire was started by a small boy play
ing with matches in the barnyard. The
stack was burned to tinder and the fire
burned within eight feet of the stable door.
The loss is by no means heavy, but it
should be a lesson to parents not to give
small children matches to play with.
Yours truly for more news in the future,
from your charming girls of Spidertown.

The midnight express on the Santa Fe
railroad was held up by train robbers
Tuesday morning. The train officials
were prepared for tho robbers aud had on
board a dozen officers with Winchesters
loaded with buckshot. The robbers stop
ped the train and shot the engineer before
saying a word, and four of them sprang
for the Wells, Fargo & Co. express car.
There they were met with a fusilade from
the Winchesters loaded with buckshot and
all were severely wounded.

IT is a satisfaction to know that Mad
eline Pollard will not bo permitted to go
on the stage. The managers who were
talking of bringing her out have tound it
impossible to secure dates for her. The
public taste may be low, but it has not
reached the point that will accord honors
to a woman whose only claim is based < n
her folly and shame, coupled with the in
lemy of a man in public life who onght to
be behind prison bars. It is a satisfaction
to find that the public taste is not as
depraved as it is sometimes made to seem.
