Vii Old Drnioiriil A»k» For Infxrma. ton* lam a Democrat. I believe in the party's principles aucl revere its traditions. Since I have had a vote I always voted the Democratic with a clear conscience. I was true in this count}' in 'B4 at considerable personal sacrifice ofmv own interest. 1 have in many campaigns, both in this county and elsewhere, defended the principles and advocated the cause of Democracy. Suppose in advocating the election of John Utz, I was confronted by some staunch Democrat through the county, a man, let us say, who lias always stuck to the ticket, contributed money and devoted liis best energies for the cause, and that whon the party was finally successful he had been recommended by friends of our party of his district for some i local office of which lie was abund-| antly qualified to fill. Suppose I then that he was refused the otlice j on grounds that money is King, and the office bestowed upon a Mug wump in the neighborhood or left in the possessor of the Republican incumbent. And suppose some old honest Democrat should come to me and ask this question: "Why must I vote for John Utz'! 1 If I answer, because of party obligation, and he answered. "When did John Utz regard party obligations as binding on him? Whit auswer could I make ? Now this is a query that is likely to bo addressed to every Demo cratic advocate of his party, and for myself, I shall decline to work for the full ticket until I am convinced yhether lam voting for a Demo, crat or a Jlugwump. Yours in Deniociatic bonds. MEDEA. Lopez, Pa, Oct. loth. Mil. Er>rrott:-The column editorial in the Gazette on the Prohibition Convention is, to one who knows the author, rather inconsistent. "An outrage not only upon the Prohibitionists but upon a civilized and christian community," "was iu~ stituted by himself, and because lie failed in carrying out his little scheme he bellows and whines. He puts me in mind of the fox in a little fable I read recently. A fox had run a rabbit for a long time, and the rabbit, finally, to seek a place of safety jumped into an empty bucket hanging in a well that had another bucket at the other end of the rope, so fastened to a windlass, I that when he got in the bucket liis weight brought the empty buekpt to the top. The fox seeing him down in the well thought lie certainly! could capture him by getting in the other bucket and going down after him, which he did bringing the rab bit to the top and staying at the bottom himself. Now this was exactly the case with the author of the editorial (not Streby's); a Democrat Prohibi tion, any thing for boodle man, who went into the Convention not honest ly nor conscientiously, nor with the intention of supporting the Pro hibition party nor its principles, but merely intending to defeat the Re publican candidate for Sheriff, and also to put. a man in the field for the office of Prothonotary against the Democratic nominee, that he might have the opportunity to bleed him. To the writers own knowledge this man declared before the Pro hibition Convention was hold that the time was not ripe for him to support, th a Prohibition ticket Now I would like to know if Mr. Streby thinks it is more inconsistent for a man like Daniel T. lluckell to go into a Prohibition Convention and pledge himself to support the Prohibition ticket, than it is for A. Logan Grim togo in and pledge himself, and take up an lu.urs time in advising the Prohibitionists what they should do. It is a well known fact that Mr . lluckell has been a life long tern* | pera'nee man, and has always worked ' for the interest of the temperance cause and done that which lias j seemed to him to bo most beneficial to the cause. He took a firm stand in the Constitutional Amendment and made speeches through the county without price, but Grim was paid, possibly not as mtieh as liis eloquence merited, but certainly for all the work he did. The oldest and best known Pro hibitionists, those who organized the party in the county and have been its pillars of strength, were not in favor of making a county nomina tion, and it was not do./e. Now I ask all fair minded men, who should have the control, true party men, or those who have go-ie into the party because they could uot get a county or federal office. The Republican State Committee offers handsome silk banners to the two counties showing the nearest relative approach to the Harrison vote of 18S8. Every county has an equal chance for this prize—large and small. The feeling of security prevailing among Rapublicans is greatly to be deplored. They say we have a "walkover." This is our greatest danger. Apathy—naturally con sequent upon over-confidence—may defeat our candidate for State Treasurer. Unless we can arouse our people to the importance of energetic work, we are likely to find ourselves in the minority on the morning of November 6th. Let us get to work without delay ! This is what people call an "off year." That is an unfortunate ex pression. There should be no such thing as an ''off year." A few days hence we elect a State Treasurer, an official who collects and disburses *10,000,000 and one who has super vision over !?20,0**0,000 of the State's money. Is not this an important office, and*is it proper to call this an "olfyear?" Republican defeat in Pennsylvania in 1889 is possible from one cause only—over-confidence- -which neces j sarily breeds apathy. Our recent j great majorities in this State aro a j source of danger in a campaign like this, as they are apt to make ua re lax our efforts. The Democrats have inaugurated and are prosecu ting an effective "Still Hunt," and they hope to succeed through Re publican over-confidence and indif ference. To make success certain we must get down to the hardest kind of worts. If we get the idea that this is an "Oil Year," and base our efforts upon that conclusion, wc may frankly speaking, be badly "left." An Altoona detective went to Philadelphia and while there was victimised by a couple of bunco sharpers who relieved him of $2?, all the money he had. And they did it in the regular old chestnut way. One of them met him 011 the street and shook hands with him and made him believe he knew him, and then they went to a saloon and got a drink and the second sharper rushed up with an express bill and sharper No. 1 hadn't the money, and the Altoona detective loaned him §27, and the sharper gave him a worth less cl for §7Ol as security un til to-morrow, and then they parted and the next day the sharper didn't come around to the hotel with the §27. as he agreed, and when the Al toona man came to investigate the §BO4 check wasn't worth two hurrahs, and he a detective toe. Oh my ! Jefferson Davis is reported to have one hundred thousand acres of land for sale. However attached the distinguished rebel may have been to the Lost Cause, ho does not want any Confederate binds for it. Not any. Tin* Solid Soiiili IVi'plpnh The result of the elections in the new States oi' North Dakota, Wash • ington and Montana, ought to con vince the people of the South, . n States that they cannot possibly gain anything l>y keeping that fwu* tion solidly Democratic bv force and violence. With fbur new States added to the Republican column it will be more difficult than ever before for the solid South to sectwo control of the national govern ment. The Senate is now hopelessly beyond the reach of solid Southern dominance, and after the next Con gressional apportionment it will be next to impossible for the South to control the House of Representa tives. as she did in the Fiftieth and several preceding Congresses. There is to-day only a single North urn State that can be certainly coun ted upon as a re-inforcement 112 the solid Shutli, and thai is new Jersey New lork, Indiana and Connecticut are always as likely togo Republi can as Democratic. Ever since the close of the war anil the rehabilitation of the ('on federate States, the South has been reaching out for the same absolute dominance of the national govern ment which that section enjoyed in the days of slavery, and which was lost by the rebellion. There is 110 | longer any hope of that dream being j realized. Tuc Senate is hopelessly I beyond the reach of the South and jthe House of Representatives soon will be. The North will henceforth dominate the national government r.nd will continue that dominance until the South ceases to be solid as the result of violeuce, force and fraud. \ solid Delegation. It is now definitely ascertained | that the four new States havei 'rcV'.] a solid Republican delegation i > the House of Representatives of the Fifty-first Congress, giving the Re publicans eight majority in that body. There is still a little uncert ainty as to the political complexion | of the Montana legislature, on which j depends the election of two Tinted j States Senators. So far as political 1 power in the Senate is concerned, it jis, however, unimportant whether j the two Montana Senators are Re publicans or Democrats. If lienub ! licans then the majority will bo ten; |if Democrats tue majority will bo | six; and when a Republican succeeds jSeuator Payne, of Ohio, the ma-- Ijority will l>e eight. I The election in Montana is n, trilic mixed as to its results, but tit future 1 elections that new State will turn 'right tiide ti[>. She is bound to b.:- |Co:ue reliably Republican, if slie is I not quite so now. The election of jail Republican Representatives to the Fify lirst Congress I>y the four 1 new States is most gratifying ami was above all else the most valuable lan rl desirable of the fruits gathered. The addition of these Gve Repre sentatives gives the Republicans a sale enough majority and now there can Le no difliculty iu eliecting the organization of the House and the Republicans will be able to do a good many things which would have been attended with difficulty h:ul there been only a majority of three. The now States have done nobly 1 and the Republican faith in them has not been disappointed. A pointer to Republican poll workers; After you think every Republican voter can be secured has been looked after, scan your list closely to see if there isn't one more who can be brought to the polls. Every vote counts. Many a man has been elected by a majority of one. Let your motto on election day be "one vote more." The State Sunday School Conven tion, as a result of the meeting in Willinmsport, has determined upon active work in the future. The Ex ecutive Committee were empowered to employ a State Secretary, and | were entrusted with a power to fix bis salary. This gives them a dis cretion, which the committee will fully exercise, to obtain the best wan to be held for the position. Nearly every precinct iu the coun ty was represented tit. the presenta tion of the banner on Wednesday. There were one hundred aud tii'ty people present. Uncle Tom'- Cabin will be played in the Lapore llall Friday evening. Oct. I'Stli. The play is said to be first class. All are invited. Price j 35c, children 10. I ELECTION PRnOUWJATION.
