"It has been with especial gratification that the Republicans of this Commonwealth have observed the brilliant administration of the State Department by one of Penn sylvania's native sons, whose superb diplo macy has electrified the hcartsofall Ameri cans, exacted from foreign peoples n degree of respect and admiration for the United States flag hitherto unequalcd, and opened wide tons in other lands commercial gates heretofore barred. These magnificent achievements justify our confidence and fur lish new occasion for us now to reaffirm the loyalty and devotion of the Republicans of Pennsylvania to her most distinguished son—the Hon. James G. Blake." — From the Republican State Platform. BLAINE AT HIS I>EKK. The SecrelHry of Stale Itesiiuies Work Vesterdaj. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2G.—Secretary Blaine this morning resumed the dis charge of his duties as Secretary of State. He arose early, and soon after breakfast went over to the White House. Secretary Tracy Foon joined hira there and together they had a long consultation with the President. It was nearly noon when Secre tary i'laine left the White House and walked over to the Department of State. He entered his private office and plunged at once into busi ness. Orders were given to admit no person not connected with the department, and the Secretary be gan to hear reports from the assist ant secretaries and other otlicials of the department. Nearly all had matters to bring to his attention, and the Secretary entered upon their •jwiisidora'ion with zeal,iu this way 1 picking up many of the ditai'e of business that is now before the de partment. Assistant Secretary Wharton, who has been acting as Secretary of State during Secretary Blaine's ab sence, returned this morning from a flying trip to New York to find the Secretary at the helm of the ship of state. There appeared to be no of ficial news at the departments re specting the latest phase of the Chilean trouble. Nothing had been received up to noon from Commo dore Schley, and Secretary Blaine sent word that there was nothing to communicate upon the subject. Vote for GREGG and MORRISON. M'l LUBK'S WAR WHOOPS. Out Willi Iliirrity'N Brave* He Cuts High Capers. Thai the noise and clamor of Democratic campaign managers over the BardsJey business have ceased to have tlie desired effect upon the thinking voter is daily becoming more apparent. Republicans proper ly resent the imputation that their party is made up of thieves and marauders. The fall of Dill, the Democratic banker, of Clearfield, was but another illustration of the fact that crime is non-partisan, and that 110 political party can be fairly held responsible for tlie wrong doing of any individual, any more than can a church or religious de nomination be placed in bad repute because of the chance downfall of one of its members. "The melodramatic overture is about over, and the dust is passing away," truly says .John Russel Young, in commenting on this set tling down to sober thought in the canvass 111 Pennsylvania- ''Buffalo Bill MeClure, at the head of a con glomerate troops of saints, Hessians, Democrats, ward heelers and aspir ants for the presidency started out on a wild huliaballoo of a stamped ing raid. All who goto the shows will understand it. Buffalo Bill gets on a black horse, waggles his hair over his shoulders and howls- The Indians, in spare garment, some of them, we are afraid, only circus riders in Indian apparel, also howl. There is a grand rush and a charge, and it seems as if the roof would come down. Bill and bis conting ent ride back and the howling begins anew, and continues until Hill thinks people have had their mouey's worth, and retires. ''Bulialo Bill MeClure began the campaign by declaring that all 'Re publicans were thieves.' '. Yonk en, general manager for the Lumber Co., S. A. Goodhue and E. J. Flvnn, were viewers of the full transaction as they stood on the bank close to where the men were at work. Mowrey and Dewar had a narrow escape too. Mowrey saved himself by falling in the water close to shore, and by the aid of brush pulled him self to the bank. Dewar saved him self by catching lioU of the bridge where the logs passed under. The bridge is right over where the falls begun to sloap, and the jam was just, above the bridge. It was the saddest affair that has ever happened at Jaminson. The people of this town all seem to be sobbing to the bottom of their heart as Mr. Lewis was a kind father and husband. He leaves a wife and four daughters and one son,the youngest being about 13 years old. ivlr. Lewis was born in Sicklian Hall, near Yorkshire, Eng land. Age 47 years and 29 days. The funeral was held at Hills Grove, on Friday, where the remains were laid to rest. POLITE. Vote for GREGG and MORRISON. EST ELL A ITEMS. Miss Nellie Bird is visiting friends at Towanda, this week.
