RETTENBURY, WATCHMAKER AND JEWELEB, DUSHORE, PA. 1 C ANI3TATETICKET\ POR GOVERNOR, GEORGE M r . DELAMATER, of Crawford.* KOFI LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR, • LOUIS A. WATRES, of Lackawanna, FOR SECRETARY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS. | THOMAS J. b TEW ART, of Philadelphia. NOW AND THEN. The Pittsburg Commercial Ga zette of a recent date says: "Those who imagine that 'ex- Governor Pattison can he elected over Senator Delamater, should re flect upon the condition of politics now compared with ISB2. For sev eral years previous to the memor able contest there had been growing discontent and disaffection in the Republican ranks, which culminat ed in the formidable split and nom ination of John Stewart us an inde pendent candidate. In the same campaign Thomas A. Armstrong one of the most popular labor lead ers in the state, Greenback-Laboi party, and polled 23,990 votes while Stewart received a total of 48,743. Pattison boat Beaver 40,000 votCB, because the Stewart vote was made up almost wholly of Republicans. The conditions are essentially dif ferent now. There is no split in the Republican party—no organiz ed opposition to the ticket, nor will there he any. It will be a straight contest between the Republican anil Democratic parties, with a plurality of CO,OOO in favor of Delamater. With a legislature and members of congress to elect, the result cannot be doubtful. It may be possible for a few active kickers in Allegheny county and elsewhere to reduce the average majority somewhat, but to talk of defeating Delamater is to talk nonsense." It is exceedingly silly to talk about tlie possible election of Patti son. What on earth is there in the political composition oHiis ex-excel lency to inspire Republican or even straight Democratic support ? A Democratic mugwump, neither foil or flesh, a man so cold as to refuse to attach his signature to a bill pro viding for the burial of indigent vet erans of the great rebellion; a man so stubborn th at he squandered half a million of the taxpayer's money in a vain effort to bulldoze the legisla ture into doing his bidding when it •was plain, to even one of the dullest comprehension that the members would not follow his lead. He is not a brilliant or even a safe man J he was elected at a timo when the opportunity for revolt was ripe, but this year the conditions are far from the same and he will realize the force of this assertion on the morning of November sth when he reads the figures of Senator Delamater's triumph. Senator Delamater is a man of and for the peple ; he is in sympa thy with every great and important movement for the improvement of his fellowmcn ; he is a man who has ever kept open doors to hear the complaints of the poor and lowly and if he were king of the universe he would still remain the plain, mod est, whole-souled gentleman that he is to-day ; he is preeminently a man in his own right, Jand if elected he will prove the People's Governor ir respective of part}', rate or creed. He is a man of rare executive abili ty ; strict integrity ; an indofatigable worker—a man never afraid to do right and not afraid to say no when occasion requires. Possessing all these qualifications, both sure and steadfast, is it any wonder that those who have known him longest and best predict his election by a phe nomenal majority ? Contrasted with his opponent he is a giant in his sympathy with the interests of Pennsylvania, and no man can be his companion five minutes without being impressed with the idea that ho is constructed, mesWly- ou the i broad guago plan and is stamped I with an individuality that promises a great and brilliant future. He has carved his way up from the foot of the ladder and as he has mounted each step, '-climbing bighev, and Mgher, he lias emphatically demon strated with an engergetic American can accomplish who is not afraid of work, and is true to every noble as piration that quickens the heart beats of a courageous, consctentions and thoroughly manly man. | Tlie Ural lNttue in l*«Hii«ylvnnia. A tew of the Democratic papertj have the courage and honesty to tell the truth about the political situa tion in Pennsylvania. The Phila delphia Times is one of these, and it is not far out of the way in its esti mate of the issues involved. Com menting upon the recent indorse ment by the president of Allegheny College of Senator Delamater as a man of sterling integrity and worth, it says; Senator Delamater nefcds no such certificates of character. He is known to be a gentleman of ex cellent individual character, and he has proved to the people of the State, during the severe ordeal of a year of constant battle for the nomination, that he possesses abilities of a high order, and can size up to the full measure of dignity required for the first office of the Commonwealth. The Times then boldly declares that Senator Delamater is "not a mere personal candidate for Gover nor." The people, it says, won't bother about the personality of either of the candidates, and "a defamatory crusade against either would help 'rather than hinder his election." It finds the issue in the bill to provide for fair elections, which, in common with other Democratic papers, it terms the "Force bill," and in the "fearful tax bills," meaning the Mc- Kinlej- tariff measure. So far as the tariff is concerned the Times Las struck the nail fairly on the bead. The tariff is undoubt edly the live issue of this contest. Tho campaign in Pennsylvania will be watched closely by the friends and foes of protection alike, and if this centre of the protective policy should show unmistakeable signs of wavering the fact would be seized upon by all free trailers and used with tremendous effect. Senatrr Delamater has been put forward as the champion of protection upon a platform which strongly calls for the passage of the McKinley bill. Ex- Governor l'attison was nominated by the Democrats at the direct in stance of ex-President Cleveland to represent the latters ideas upon the tariff and to keep the Pennsylvania Democracy in line for the Presiden tial contest of 189'-J. There is the issue just as plain as the nose upon a man's face—protection as repre sented by Delamater and free trade as represented by Cleveland and his nominee. The Times has guaged the situation accurately, and is en tirely risrht when it says that "the people will look above the candid ates to the cause they respectively represent." Pennsylvania is ready for this is sue, and we greatly mistake the sentiment of the voters of this home of protection if they do not make their opinions known in no uncertain tones through the medium of an overwneltning majority for Dela mater. And if the Democrats want to include the Election bill in their list of grievances the Inquirer has not a particle of objection. The Republican party never 3-et shrank [from an honest ballot. Uring on [jour fiee trade and your dishonest elections, and, in the classic langu age of Colonel McClure, let the band play.— Ex. The Discovery of Coal, A movement has been started in Summit Hill, Carbon County, to commemorate the first discovery of anthracite coal in Pennsylvania by a centennial celebration, to take place in September, 1891, when it will have been one hundred years since Phillip Ointer, an old German hunt er, made the first discovery of "'stone coal" on Maucli Chunk Mountain, on the outskirts of what is now the ; town of Summit llill. 'I he precise spot is still pointed out, and near by is the abandoned and worked-out mine of the Lehigh Coal Mine Cotnpanj-, organized in 1792 to de velop Ginter's discovery. The pains for the project iuvolve the erection of a suitable monument to the mem ory ofGinter, and a monster demon stration at its unveiling. The B<»- ' ougli Council of Summit Hill has determined to deed a plot, of ground, in front of fhe sione Arrtorv Hall, on which to locate the monument, and will also largely contribute to the fund for its erection. The en tire anthracite region will likely take part in the demonstration.— -Ex. WILKES-BARRE, July 27.—Ex- Attorney General Henry W. Palmer, of this city who went to London with Colonel R. Bruce Ricketts a few weeks ago, to dispose of several thousand acres of timber land in Sullivan, Luzerne and Columbia counties, was reported by cable last evening to be very ill. On July 15 he was attacked with congestion of the lungs, and for a time was in & critical condition. A cable message to bis family Saj's he has taken a turn for the bet ter. His physicians are in hopes now that he will be able to be out again in a week or ten aays. Ex-Senator Wallace has packed his gripsack for a trip to Europe. The fair inference is that the Wal lace Democrats of that State will go a-Bshing on election d&y. The Senator is an anti-Cleveland man and was defeated for the Guberna torial nomination by the Cleveland following. Ingoing a-fishing his friends will only follow a Cleveland example. Convict Coughlin, ofCronin fame, is a physical wreck and wasting away. It is stated at Joliet that the inroads on his health are due wholly to mental trouble and he may break down any day and tell all he knows of the murder. He i£ the nicVn having something to tell and the truth may not be long now in coming.

How can a newspaper expect to be a benefit to a town by always finding fault with its people ?
