——: mm '
Mr. John N. Messenger of La
Porte received a telephone message
on Friday Aug. 19th stating that
his son Dana J. Messenger of
Dußois had been killed ip a railroad
accident and that his funeral would
take place on 'Tuesday, Sept. 2d.
The father, Mr Messenger accompan
ied by a daughter and son Mrs. A. J-
Hackley and E. J. Messenger left
for Dußois on Monday and attended
f,he funeral .on Tuesday. The un
timely death of Mr. Messenger was
sorely felt by his many relatives of
this place. W.e have been unable to 1
leajrn the particulars of the accident.
Mr. Emery's Charges.
Some weeks ago in a public
speech ex Senator Lewis Emery, Jr.,
preferred certain charges of a very
general character against Senator
Delrtmatcr, than a candidate for tlie
Republican noi-ination for Gover
nor, Mr. Emery himself being a can
didate for the Congressional nomin
ation from his district- These
charges 110 one believed except those
who are anxious to bel'eve them.
Mr. Emery said the Republicans
would not nominate Mr. Delamater'
These charges were pi veil every
possible publicity in the State. As
a result Mf. Delamater, was nomin
ated for Governor and Mr. Emery
was not. nominated for Congress.
Mr. Emery practically requested
Mr. Delamater to sue him for libel.
This most astonishing request was
not complied with, nor did Mr.
Delamater make any reply at the
time, feeling it would be indelicate
to do so before the convention met.
We are not aware that it is the
custom of slandered candidates to
sue their slanderers for libel. We
do not remember that Lincoln ever
sued one of his defamers. We
greatly mistake if General Grant
ever asked satisfaction of the courts
for any of the outrageous dander
published about him; in fact, there
has not been a leading statesman
against whom the shafts of calumny
have net been aimed and libel suits
have been very few. The public
realizes that ever successful man
must expect to be maligned by his
enemies; even the saints and sapes
have not escaped. It is part of the
price.
Rut Senator Delamater has, since
the canvass opened, replied in most
vigorous, emphatic and direct langu
age to Mr. Emery's charges, deny
ing them in a way that has con
vinced everyoncj not predisposed
to believa everything that coulu be
said against the Republican can
didate and.nothing that could be
said in his favor. The testimony of
all who knew him was enough to
convince all but the most hyper
critical, and to do this is added Mr.
Delamatcr's manly denial. To this
Mr. Emery replied in the following
singular dispatch to certain Demo
cratic papers:
BRADFORD, Aug. J6.
I propose, at a time and place not
yet determined upon, to give the
public a bunch of facts as undeniable
as Mr. Delamater's Chftmbersburg
denial was broad and inexplicit.
The day in which unscrupulous
politicians could sweep away with a
wave of.the hand Btains of corrup
tion with which they are tainted has
gone by with me and should be with
every thiuking and well-meaning
citizen in the State.
LEWIS EMERY, JR.
So, it seems, Mr, Fmery did not
have his alleged facts ready when
he made his speech last spring, and
he apparently does not know when
he will have them. Why does he
delay in this matter? Simply be
cause he cannot deliver the goods.
We agree with him that the stains
of corruption cannot be swept away
with a wave of the hand ; but we do
not know what that has to do with
Senator Delamater. He is not
stained with corruption. Mr.
Emery's charges do not constitute a
slain. His voice alone ha& been
raised against the candidate while
there have been thousands to bear
wdling testimony that Mr. Delamater
is an honorable man, a virtuous
citizen, conscientious alike in thp
performance of private business and
public duty.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
