W. OSLKR. Ilijrli SlierilF. their efforts in a single district in the United States where It is possible to elect a Republican to the next house of representatives, so that there may bo assured to us a working majority In that branch of our national legisla ture. AS TO THE SENATE. - "While the house of representatives Is admittedly close in Its political com plexion, It is supposed that the senate has a more assured majority. Such, however, is not the fact. It is impossi ble in the limited time allowed me to go fully into the facts and figures, but I will call your attention to a few sa lient instances. Colorado, Idaho, Kan sas, Wyoming, Montana and Nebraska, now represented by Republican sena tors, will elect senators to take the seats of those In the Fifty-seventh con gress on March 4, 1901. North Caro lina is represented by a Populist and South Dakota by a silver Republican and Populist, and in both of these states the election of Republican sena tors ought to be possible. "All of these states, however, were carried for Bryan four years ago, and if he is elected president this year there is at least a reasonable probabil ity that he will carry two others, Dela ware and West Virginia, and in carry ing them for the electoral ticket would, of course, carry the legislature with him. "Presuming that the representation of the remaining states in the senate will probably be the same in the next congress as in the present one, the sen ate would then stand: Republicans for gold standard, 46; opposition for silver standard, 44. The loss of a Republican senator in a single one of the other states would divide the senate equally on March 4, 1901. WHAT IS INVOLVED. "The election of a Democrat to.the senate for Pennsylvania, or even the failure of the legislature to elect, might throw the senate into control of the Democratic party within two years. The whole history of the con trol of the senate has indicated that that body has invariably been most closely divided upon all issues. Again, it may be recalled that in Indiana only one Republican was elected to the Uni ted States senate, and he only for a sin gle term between 1875 and 1895, like wise in Ohio from 1869 to 1897, a period of 28 years, one of the Ohio senatorial seats was filled by a Democrat, and from 1879 to 1881 both of them were so filled. California and New York also has only been recently represent ed by two Republican senators each. Pennsylvania has also had her Demo cratic senators, notwithstanding our enormous Republican majority, and with these instances of the uncertainty of the senate in mind it Is also well to recall that in the last 13 congressional elections the Democrats have won eight times. When we consider that, while an effort Is being made to cover up the Issue of free silver under the trumped-up issue of imperialism, that this free silver issue is still the vital and dominant issue in the Dem ocratic party and is as import ant as it ever was to the integri ty of our financial system, the consci entious and patriotic and thoughtful voter may well hesitate to trifle with the demagogy of Bryaniem or be led by the allurements of those who would weaken or destroy their support and allegiance to any part of the Republi can party by uppealing to local or fac tional discontent or differences." WAR VETERANS AND THEIR SONS. Patriotic Pennsylvanians Rallying For McKinley and Re publicanism. EXPERIENCES IN TWO WARS. Bryanltea of Today Are Bat Repeat lan Copperhead Attaoka Which Characterised Their Party In the Days ot Lincoln. In view of the malicious assaults upon the McKlnley administration and the United States soldiers In the Phil ippines by the Bryanitcs of today, a profound sensation was made by the recent publication of the story of the arrest of P. Gray Meek, present Democratic candidate for auditor gen eral In Pennsylvania, for his copper head newspaper assaults upon Lincoln In the dark days of the rebellion. Meek's attacks upon Lincoln were no more bitter nor vindictive than are the tirades of his Democratic associates in this campaign against McKlnley. A feeling of intense hostility to the present leadership of the Democracy has been aroused among men who have served In the army and navy of the United States, both during the rebel lion and in the recent war with Spain. Sons of veterans of the civil war who number many thousands In Penn sylvania, are thoroughly aroused, and they propose to make their influence felt at the coming election. Many of them who have been voting with the Democracy will vote for President Mc- Klnley and the eutire Republican ticket. Nationul headquarters of the Vet eraus' Patriotic League have been es tablished in Philadelphia, and great work is being done In the way of or ganising the old soldiers and the sons of veterans. Ueneral Director Daniel Sickles, who is a conspicuous factor In this organi sation, has Usued an appeal for sup port for President McKinley, which voices the sentiments of those with whom he is associated. "l<et me urge every soldier and sail or," says Ueneral Sickles, "to lay aside party feeling and unite for national honor aud for law and order, as you did iu '6l and '65. The present crisis seems to uie as vital to the welfare of the country as that wtiich called us to the Meld. PROHPKHITY AND BAKKTY. "Let us re-elect Comrade McKiuley. Let us help Mm to uphold slid Increase The Herald's Weak Attempt to Convince Voters. Representative J. L. Christian's Course as Shown by the Legislative Record Invites the Closest Scrutiny. the prosperity the nation now enjoys. Let us run no risk by disturbing the conditions which are rapidly giving to us the control of the best markets in the world for the products of our mines, our manufactories and of our farms. The re-election of McKlnley means employment for labor every where at good wages, paid in gold. "It means profitable markets for our wheat, corn and cotton, for OUD gold, Iron and steel, for all of our manu factured products. "It means the preservation of our national honor, by the fulfillment of our obligations to the creditors of the nation, to the veteran soldiers and sailors, and the widows and orphans entitled to pensions; to the public creditors who hold the securities of the government, to the holders of hun dreds of millions of paper money, for which the credit of the nation is pledged. The re-election of Comrade McKln ley means security and safety to two thousand million dollars, deposited in our savings banks—the earnings of our mechanics and laborers, otherwise threatened by the loss of one-half of this vast sum, if Mr| Bryan is permit ted to debase our currency to his silver standard of 16 to X. 'The re-election of Comrade Mc- Kinley means a preference to be given to worthy veteran soldiers and sailors; it means a continuation of our liberal pension policy. "The re-election of Comrade Mc- Klnley means tranquillity and pros perity at home, peace in the Philip pine islands, the maintenance of our national honor, the vindication of our flag, and the augmented influence of our beloved country among the nations of the world. "Let all of us vote for McKinley and Roosevelt heroes of two wars— statesmen to whom the country may well confide its interests and its honor, patriots who have rleked their lives in defense of our flag, illustrious citizens, both of them, who have given ample evidence in all their public employ ment and in private life, that they possess the attainments and the vir tues which dignify the high stations for which they are nominated. COPPERHEAD DAYS RECALLED. "In 1864 copperheads prolonged the war and cost the Union army tens of thousands of lives by encouraging the south to hope for a settlement on their own terms with the Democratic party, if successful in the presidential elec tion of that year. The re-election of Lincoln in 1864 saved the Union. The war Democrats voted for him and gave him victory. In 1900 copperheads are sacrificing the lives of our soldiers in the Philippine islands by encouraging Agulnaldo and his foolish followers to hope for success if Mr. Bryan is president. The re-election of Comrade McKinley will bring peace and pros perity to the Philippine islands and put an end to copperheadism in this country. "Comrades, let us stand together once more for our country, Its peace, its prosperity and welfare and honor. Let us again put patriotism above partisan ship. Let us stand together, touching elbows, as Comrade McKinley stood with us in the ranks in 1861." A MIGHTY FORCE FOR M'KINLEY. Young Republicans of Pennsyl- Will Labor at the Polls on Tuesday Next. TO WORK FOR THE WHOLE TICKET Thousand* of Club Mm Are Appeal ed to That the Democracy Shall Have ,\o Opportunity to Rejoice When the Ileturna Come In. Republicans everywhere throughout Pennsylvania are preparing for next Tuesday's election, so that they may perform a solemn duty to their 'am ines, to state and to their «*- to vote the whole Re 'ibllce* There are man) hoy. A ac tive, progressive young <vho will not be content with merely casting .their ballots for McKinley and Roose velt and the entire Republican ticket, but they propose to labor all day to get others to the polls to do likewise. CLUB MEN ACTIVE. In an address Just Issued to mem bers of Republican clubs J. Hampton Moore, president of the State League of Republican Clubs, gives this timely notice: "In the approuching election for president of the United States the forces of the Pennsylvania State League of Republican Clubs are ex pected to play a most important part. The recent convention held In Phila delphia demonstrated the enthusiasm and earnestness of the workers of the league, and Justified the expectation that excellent results would be forth coming In the interest of McKinley and Roosevelt, and the whole Republi can ticket. "It is not my purpose as president of the league to enlarge upon the ad vantages of the Republican party pol icy. AH good citizens should be united upon this point. It is my duty, bow ever, to issue this final call to all Re publican club members of the state to put their best foot forward in the fight which Is to be determined on Nov. 6. "Shall McKinley or Bryan rule this countryT That Is the question. If vou are tor McKlnley. work for him; vote for him; urge your neighbors and friends to work and vote for him Per mit no citizen who is Interested in the commercial and business life of ths community to fall in his full duty as a citizen. Make him ccme out to vote; see that his vote Is counted. and see that It Is counted upon the right side. "What you do for McKlnley and Koosevelt do also for your own state This week's Herald, as usual, knowing that it can not convince intelligent voters, tries to gain the less intellectual by circulating cock and-bull stories about Dr. Christian and P. P. Vincent, the falsity of which can not be proven. The voters who are stupid enough to be taken in by such ridiculous nonsense are very few. Such trash is only considered'as boomerang and hurts most those who use it. Tf, according to the Herald, l>r. Christian voted (72) times favoring Quay measures, the old man must be 011 the right side of all legislative questions. Here is Mr. Christian's record'of (he voting lie done, and for the life of us we can not see why it is not all right. He was an earn est advocate of all the legislation in lavorofpure butter and in aid of the farmer. He voted for the amendment to the constitution, which Gov. Stone afterward vetoed, and which veto was overruled by the supreme court. He voted for the Keater ballot law, and Parmer Creasy's tax bill. His vote is re corded in the negative on all meas ures increasing salaries and creating useless offices. It was largely through his work and influence that the appropriation for the Nayre hos pital was increased from s<>,ooo to SIO,OOO. It is easy for the Herald to make false statements, but these are plain facts taken from official records. Mas Heiused to Accept the Vacancy in the Judgeship. Addison Candor's declination of the judgeship of Lycoming county reached Governor Stone Wednesday morning. The governor asked him to reconsider the matter but this he declines to do. candidates, uive your loyal support to E. B. Hardenborgh, the Republican nominee for auditor general, and to Qalusha A. Grow and Robert H. Foer derer, the Republican nominees forcon greasmen-at-large. They are worthy and deserving men, who are entitled to and should receive the full Repub lican vote. VOTE THE WHOLE TICKET. "Do not be deceived in any of your congressional districts. Stand for the regular Republican nominees. If the president of the United States is to be William McKinley see that a congress man is elected who will support liim. Mr. McKinley is the head and front of the Republican organization of the United States. His support come-s from the organization of the Republican party In the various states. Pennsyl vania, the greatest of the Republican states, should be stalwart In its sup port, and should not elect a single congressman who is not in thorough sympathy with the Republican party, and with the president, who is its in spiration and fountain head. "It is a safe rule to stand for the regularity of nominations. The State League stands not only for the main tenance of Republican principles, but it stands for the rule of the majority. Wherever a congressional candidate has been regularly nominated he should receive the support of all the members of the State league. SHOULD BE NO WAVERING. "The loss of one congressman in Pennsylvania may turn the next house of representatives. The president of the United States, the chairman of the national executive committee and the chairman of the national congressional committee have each urged that there be no wavering on the part of the Re publicans of Pennsylvania. "Let us hope that the expectations of the leaders of the party instate and nation may be realized, and that the State League may be able, after the returns are in, to claim the honor of having swelled the majority to up wards of THREE HUNDRED THOU SAND VOTES. "The only danger that confronts the party is inertion and apathy. The State League has never heretofore failed to do its part. Its enthusiasm has been a welcome factor in this cam paign. Let us hope the result will justify Its labor. "Remember from now until Nov. 6 the important question for you. your neighbors and friends is "M'KINLEY AND CONFIDENCE. BRYAN AND UNCERTAINTT. Which?"
