LOOK OUT FOB TIIE.W. We understand that some parties, claiming to be Republicans, are travel ing the county electioneering for M. L. Lockwood for Congress We ask all Republicans, who are so from principle, what they think of such Rex>ublicans We have a nominee, in the person of Hon. J. B. Showalter, who is a good Republican and will vote on the right side of all questions that come before Congress. Lockwood would vote with the Democrats. On all matters the ad ministration would want carried through. Showalter would support Mc- Kinley—Lockwood would be with the Democrats, "fornist the Government. Is it safe to take the ad vice of these fel lows, calling themselves Republicans, who are working for M. L. Lockwood ? Who is paying the expenses of these pa triots< ?) in their travels up and down the land while working for Lockwood'/ Let each Republican answer these ques tions for himself, and we have no doubt he will go to the polls and vote for Showalter for Congress. RKMEMBKK that November Hth is election day. Don't fail to vote. As goes Pennsylvania this year so ' will the whole country go in 1900. Swell the majority to the highest limit by every Republican going to the polls November Bth. THE Democratic party through its leaders, is running one of their fraud and deception campaigns this year by holding continually to the declaration, "there are no National issues in this campaign only State issues Let us look at the matter a little and see bow near the truth they are. A new House is to be elected this year, and one-third of the Senators, and is it not of National importance that we retain control of the House and gain control of the Senate at Washington'.' Is it not of National importance that we have a Congress, both Houses of which should - be in accord with Republican adminis tration, to sustain and continue Repub lican measures, that have been enacted into Law. and, now that the war with Spain is practically over, are leading on to a revival of the business and in dustries of the country'.' Is it not of National importance that our new tarifl law be sustained, and when, bv experi ence we see it can be improved, that work should be done by the party that enacted it? Is it not of National im portance that our financial system should be kept in the control of the party that established it?, a system that has given ue as a Nation the best credit of any Nation in the world, a credit that enabled us to raise all the money we needed to help on with the war with Spain, a credit so good that when McKinley called for a loan of $200,000,000 at three per cent interest, over six times the amount wanted was offered and those bonds art- now worth a premium of from five to six per rant. Is it not of National importance to maintain our credit at this high stan dard? All these things and many more are involved in the outcome of this campaign notwithstanding the Demo cratic candidates and "spell binder* gay "only State issues are involved." It is a piece of their usual cunning and deception that should not influence any Republican to leave his party and vote to bring back the calamity of another Democratic administration. We have not yet entirely repaired the damages done by the last Democratic adminis tration and until we do we will not secure the prosperity that will eventual ly come under Republican rule. 'I he farmer, too, well remembers the de preciation in his farm products, his cattle, his sheep, his wool, and the tailoring people of all classes have not forgotten the want of employment and depreciation of wages during the last administration to think of voting for the Democratic candidates. Let no Pennsylvania Republican be duped in to voting the Democratic ticket, for shonld Pennsylvania, the bulwark of American protection .elect a Democratic Governor it will be heralded all over the West and South that "Pennsylvania is turning away from protection and sound money." and it will lie used by the Democrats with great effect in the next Presidential campaign in the close States of the West and Month and might bring on the country the calamity of another Democratic administration, be fore we have near recovered from the last one, therefore, Republicans think well over the matters before you take the advice of the Democratic leaders The path of safety is voting the whole Republican ticket. Bt 7 TLER county has for a great many years had but little influence in the Legislature on account of the inexperi ence of onr member* We generally sent new men every time. Vote for t Moore and Dindinger, they have hart some experience, and if retnrned, the people will get the l>enefit of it, and Butler county will be heard from, and her influence felt in the next Legisla ture. Vote for Moore and Dindinger and Republicans will not regret it, they have been tried and were trne to the in terests of the people of the county. At Paris, Monday, the American Peace Commissioners demanded com plete possession of the Philippine islands sor>*D money. The money, or circulating medium.of a Nation is said to be "its life blood,'' and as the money is good, depreciated or bad. so will be its business interests, credit and condition. Against the op position and protest of the Democratic party leaders, the Bryanites et al. the Republican party has evolved a money system, the best of any in the world, so no matter what part of this country yon go to, or in fact what part of the world. United States money, whether gold, sil ver or paper, will pass as freely in busi ness transactions, as in New York or Washington City. Now do we as a peo ple. when we have gotten a money sys tem that gives us such security for what little of this world's goods we may get together, want to unsettle the value of our cattle, our sheep, onr horses, our real estate, onr mortgages, our bonds whether government or state, our railroad s'oek.in fact the val ue of all our property, by listening to such blatherskites as Bryan, who has a wonderful flow of meaningless words and well rounded phrases, but no busi ness experience outside the small amount incident to a moderate law practice in the small towns of his west ern home? Do we want, as a people, to adopt the Bryan and Teller idea of free and un limited coinage of silver as the basis of our money system that would instantly place us on the financial basis of Spain and other worn out Nations of the world? As a Nation we are at the head of all the Nations of the world in wealth and natural resources, and as we have now obtained some outlying territory the next move will be the en largement of our shipping interests, when our flag will be seen in all parts ot the world, and our wares taken to ever}' clime. Now our money circulates freely side by side with the money of the greatest commercial nations of the world. DJ we want to surrender our proud posi tion in the financial world by adopting the ravings of such demagogues as Bry an, Stewart. Teller, et al, that would at once sink us to the level of all free sil ver countries and compel as to pay trib ute in large discounts from the face of our monev to the other commercial Na tions that maintain the sound money system ? We think not. and all that the people want to do to avert sash a condition of things is to think a little over the past, then look ahead and they will soon see for themselves that the path of safety is that laid out by the Republican party. Therefore, we say. vote the whole Republican ticket and you will not regret it. DON'T fail to go to the polls Novem ber Bth. Its a duty every citizen should perform. THE election of 1900, when a Presi dent is to be elected, will be largely in flnenced by Pennsylvania's vote this year. Be sure and vote, and don't let your neighbor stay at home. November Bth. WE should all give one day in the year to our country; let that day lie No vember Bth, election day. OUR nominee for Congress. Hon .1 B. Showalter, has now had some ex perience in Congressional work and will be much better fitted to look after the interests of his constituents than a new man and infinitely lietter than a Democrat He will support our splen did President in all bis efforts to close up the war with Spain with honor to onr country. A Democrat would op pose the administration Showalter will sustain the Dingly tariff bill, that is gradually improving the business conditions of the country, while a l)em ocrat would oppose all this Showalter will favor sound money, that is, money, where silver is as good as gold and paper is as good as both or either ot them, a Democrat would favor the free and unlimited coinage cf silver which would drive gold out of circulation and leave us with silver and paper very much depreciated. Can we afford to do this? Let the voters answet by given Showalter an old time majority. THERE will be important work before the next Legislature that will require the best thought and energies of the members. With Moore and Dindinger there our county's interests will be well cared as their past experience gives them knowledge of the routine of legis lation from the start. They will not have to wait until the term is half over before they begin to be of use. but will be a working force from the first day of the session. Vote for Moore and Din dinger, and yon will make no mistake. To The Soulier's of liutlcr County. Why should any soldier of our civil war be induced to vote for George A. Jenks for governor?. When you and I were in the field wearing our yonnjj energies and lives away in long hard marches, hard fongbt battles, exposure to heat and cold, in onr efforts to save our country fiom destruction and keep our flag from being trailed in the dust, George A. Jenks was a man in tbt; yig or of young manhood, as able as any o us to do a soldiers work, and instead ol showing that patriotic zeal he now 1 in tends to have for the country he took good care to stay at home, and followed the leadership of the Wallaces the Utickalews and all the Democratic worthies who opposed every measure taken by the Lincoln administration to put down the rebellion. When the question whether or not the soldiers in the field should be allowed their right as citizens to vote al the presidential election of 1894. George A lenks and his Democratic bretbern were opposed to it, they wonted to disfranchise us, and say we shonld not be allowed any choice as to who shonld be President and Commander in Chief ot thi. army of which we formed a part. \\ ill we forget this un American and un patri otic conduct of George A Jenks and turn our backs on ("01.

COM HI I* MCATKU. BUTLER. PA . Oct. IT, IW. HON. JOHN WANAMAKER, Philadelphia. Pa DEAR SIR -On the 27th of November. A. D. IHM7. I met with a serious acci dent while crossing the Pennsylvania railroad tracks at Hstrrisburir. I have been an invalid ever since; have been unable to leave my home during tne summer nor am I yet able to do so I ri der these circumstances 1 had hoped chat I would at least be "let alone'' in my humble retirement In this, how ever, I was disappointed. A friend of mine mailed me a copy of your speech delivered in Dauphin coun ty on the Ist of this njonth. as reported in the Philadelphia Press. in it you make bold to present me to your iiear ers as one of the conspirators about the public printing establishment who have been robbing the State Treasury. You give the aggregate cost per an nuni of the state printing for a number of years and then say ' tiv report of the state printer, as required b/ law was made last year, and it is impossible t,» give accurately the figures for that year, but I have in my possession an ex pert's report placing the estimated ex pense of the printing department from July Ist. 1 7. to July Ist, lWM.at *72-V. 000."'' It is quite safe tq say that tne amount when tabulated will not reach one fourth of that sum: bnt yira neol ' not have l numerous places are created, w.th lib r # al salaries attachen. ifr Kdge is tne nominal head of this department. but Professor Hamilton was soon made depHty. and, owing to the poor health of the Secretary beoanje the leading tire in the department, lie v.;u» at one time a student at State College, and after graduation, remained there as ,i professor until the Governor appointed him to the deputyship He is an excel lent gentleman: but 1 doubt not there are gentlemen in every county in tin statv vfco would make better road su peryisors than Ufa. Jji; r< ; ad law is a beginning. Yon ougbt to study ti.at law and tell the people what its virtues are. If it is not repealed It Will soon be t}>r foundation for an expensive road system.

Vint it is well to remember that this state is utj t only incrataiug ID population but tn.it she is keeping abreaul ol IUT ty.'tgljbor ihg slati-s in her educational, believe leut mid ciiailiable iiistllutlous. iuese all reqOire money, hence liberal appro priations. Ypn speak of mo being discharged from my position My physical con dition at the time would have justified this. It may be that it was my misfortune that one of the leading contractors for the furnishingof supplies to the printiug department was a relative of one of the officers in the Executive department, one near to the Governor. One of the first hills this contractor presented for approval was not satisfactory to me. I declined to approve it. The gentleman referred to in the executive depart ment spoke to me about this bill: he thought it was a reasonable one He informed me that the gentleman pre senting it was a relative of his and a "very honest man". Finally I submit ted the bill to the Attorney General Mr. McCormick sustained me in ray objections to the bill and was kind enough to compliment me on my act ion. It may be that my action was not satisfactory to the contractor and his friend in the executive department, and the Governor's mind may have been influenced from this quarter and the bird book may have been used for that purpose for it had just become a subject of criticism at the time: the Governor having just returned from his visit to the Pacific. As to the "Bird Book let me say that Messers Pearson and Warren svere the authors of bulletin No. 17. A joint res olution was passed and approved by the Governor authorizing them to repro duce that bulletin, with whatever "ad ditions and changes" they saw proper to make. I issued an order for them to do so in A aril. 1897. This order was given to Mr. Busch. the state printer His contract came to an end a* the first of July of the same year. His establish ment was located on Third street. The new contractor, Mr. Ray. began opera tions at the same date in a building on Tenth street. The law required me to have mj - office in his building. Thus I was removed from Ihird street and had no more to do with the old establish ment, further than to see that the print er used good material in his work, that the work was well done and that the bills, when presented were coirect. I was in no case an editor I never heard from this bulletin again until sometime in March of the present year. I was of course astonished at hearing of its ex tent and cost, bnt I know no one to blame except the Legislature that pass ed the joint resolution, the Governor who approved it. or Dr. Warren who edited it. The truth is Dr Warren was understood to be one of the Governor s trusted friends, hence his confidence in him. In the interest of the combine he had, in company with Mr Moore of Bradford County (later of Oleomargar ine notoriety) canyassed the northeast ern part of the State in the interest of the combine and agaiust Senator Qiw)\ You refer to a printing Villi of Mr Ray which the assistant Attorney Gen eral cut down about $7,600. You seem to know little of the snbje -t. The ST,- 600 of which you speak is the gross amount. The actual or net amor.nt will be found by subtracting froin this gross stun eighty three and one hun dredth of one per cent a sum reaching $ 1291.34, bnt your first figures are too high. Hut yon still fnrther mislead your hearers, inferentially inducing them to believe that I had passed that bill ap provingly. when the fact is it was I that reduced the bill It was then referre 1 to the Attorney General's office for fin al decision, in thp main he sustained my rulings. But it is just to the State Printer to say that most of the rejected items were rejected by me because he had done the work on oral orders from the different departments without any writ ten orders having been issued to my de partment. I was desirous of impress ing upon lioth the departments and the printer the necessity for regularity m these matters. In conclusion permit me to say that few men are perfect. I know lam not, but if any man says that the State lost a dollar through the management ol the state printing ofliee during my con rroi of it with my knowledge or consent (he is an unqualified liar. 1 Youis coldly. THUS. ROBINSON P. S.—DEAK SIR—: Since writing th'> above I notice your explanation of your gross mistake in regard to your estimate of the cost of thp State printing for the last year (from July ih-1897 tq Jolj first, 1896). you blame the reporter, claiming thai you embraced two years in your figures. $7:1.5,01)0, but yon will not succeed in inducing any intelligent citizen to be lieve you. You had made quite a num ber of statements, each of themembrae mg but one year You had already | the cost of rlie year from July '.)•> to July, '.IT Barely you <|id not then embrace th'- same year in your last •/ness.
