Nil ONE IS FOOLED j Political Situation in the Quaker City is Misrepresented. INSURGENT NEWSPAPER YARNS Regular Republicans Are Confident of Electing Their Entire Local Ticket, and Are Preparing For An Aggres sive Campaign. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, AUK. 13. —Political de-I ; velopments during the last week have [ j accentuated the general impression i that the whole body and substance of j the so-called reform campaign is Wan I amakerism and a desire to overthrow } the present Republican organization. Wanamakerism means more than the defeat of regularly nominated can didates for state and local ofliees. It | means the advancement of the political i Interests of an ambitious citizen, who I prefers to take his chances for politi j cal preferment with the enemies of the Republican party rather than through the organization which rep ] resents Republican policies and Ilc ! publican principles in this city and I state. WANAMAKER POLITICS. Wanamaker has been lor several i years seeking to annex the Democratic I organization to his own personal ag- I gregation, and he has in some in stances l>een successful in winning over men who have some influence ; | in their respective localities. He has a Democratic as well as an insurgent Republican contingent to j i boom his several gauies in the whirl :of politics. Up to date none of them j has been of much service to him, al j though the matter of expense hus been | something enormous. Philadelphia, through the Wanamak- I erlzed newspapers, is treating the rest ! of the country to a spectacle in prac j tical politics which is unique and j startling in its effrontery. | To advance the interests of the Wan 1 amaker coterie, these newspapers are attacking Republicans and Democrats alike. They abuse the Republicans who persist in remaining with their party organization and in supporting the | regularly nominated candidates of that party. They denounce every Democrat of prominence who will not bow the ! knee and humbly take orders from i the Wanamaker lieutenants regarding j the policy they are to pursue in their I party's conventions or the attitude j they are to take on questions affect i ing the advancement of the Wana | maker candidates. j NEWSPAPERS ARE MISLEADING The Republicans and Democrats of ; the state are being misinformed every | day regarding the sentiment of the | voters of this city by the newspap> is carrying the Wanamaker advertise ments. These papers will continue to do so as long as they shall be con trolled by the business offices rather than the editorial departments of the newspapers, j The situation from a stalwart Ue j publican standpoint is not very alarm ing. A quiet canvas* is being made j which discloses that deep down in their j hearts, the voters of this city recognize I the Influences back of the alleged re j form campaigns, and they are going to vote accordingly. It is not likely that there will bo much doing on the surface among the regular Republicans in the local light before September 1. but then the regulars propose to put up one of the most spirited contests ever waged in behalf of any set of candidates before the voters of this city. The so called reformers include among their members the usual num ber of hypocrites, and the aim of the stalwarts will be to disclose to the pub lic. the true characters of these men who assume to put themselves above their fellows, and who claim to repre sent all the virtue and the purity in the community. DEATH OK SENATOR VAUOHAN. Local Republicans received with feel ings of great regret the announcement of the death of State Senator Vaughan, of Lackawanna. Senator Vaughan was one of the most conservative and most respected members of the legislature, and was also one of the staunchest of Republican leaders. Throughout the great battle for the United States sena torial contest, which resulted in a glorious victory for Colonel M. S. Quay, Senator Vaughan was one of his most constant and loyal supporters. On every ballot throughout the fam ous deadlock he cast his vote for Col. Quay, and wheu victory finally crowned the efforts of the regulars he was in the van with the winners. He died with the respect of both his political friends and his opponents, for he was never guilty of an unmanly act In his wholp political career. Senator Vaughan would have been renominated and re-elected, without doubt, had he lived. CASSELL FOR CONGRESS.

There are two candidates seeking the honor, Repie sentative H. Hurd Cassell and Superin tendent of Public Schools M. J. Brecht. The leaders of the party organization have, with few exceptions, lined up for Representative Cassell, anil his nomi : nation will follow without i doubt. Mr I Cassell has earned recognition from the Republicans of his county for the loyal i manner In which he has stood by his I party's standard bearers and the con stant services lie has given to the cause of Republicanism.

Dr. Cha-e's Ointment draws more praise from ministers, physicians and lawyers than any other medicine in the world. It is en dorsed by every profession Extracts from their Letters. Rev. W. N. Edwards. Baptist minister, Icy Trinity Place, Buffalo. N. Y., writes: "For over fifteen years the itching piles have been a source of constant annoyance to me, and frequently, too, the suffering has become intense. At times there was bleed ing and the itching and burning was beyond endurance. The results 1 have derived from Dr. Chase's Ointment have been magical and the benefits lasting. I feel it a duty to fel low sufferers to recommend it." Rev. J. N. Van Natter, Methodist minis ter, Albion, Wis., writes "My wife was terribly afflicted with pro truding piles and contemplated a surgical operation when her notice was drawn to Dr. Chase's Ointment, and less than one box effected a cure." " I then used it for an unsightly and troublesome skin affection, which h«d baffled medical skill for twenty-five years. Dr. Chase's Ointment thoroughly cured it. For piles and skin disease it is worth its weight in gold," Rev. J. A. Baldwin, Baptist minister, Arkona, Ont., writes: " For over twenty years I was a great suf ferer from itching and protruding piles I used many remedies and underwent three very painful surgical operations, all wit! ut obtaining any permanent benefit. W. ?n about to give up in despair I was told to uso Dr. Chase's Ointment n id did so, finding relief at once. I used three boxes, and am entirely cured. The itching is all gone. I have advised others to use it, believing it would cure them as it has me." Rev. Chas. 1 ish, Methodist minister, 19a Dunn avenue, Toronto, Ont., writes. "Ten years ago eczema began on my ears and spread over my head and handi. Dur ing that time I was a great sufferer. I tried many remedies, and seme of the best phvsi. cians—specialists on skin diseases —tieated me The first box of Dr. Chase's Ointment gave much relief and five boxes completely cured me I think my cure a marvel, and gladly recommend Dr. Chase's Ointment."

Short Talks*on r , I Advertising *u, 1 In a recent article by William Dean Ilowells he tells of a story which he says has influenced all his life. Ihe hero of the story is a young Dane, who was going up among the fiords to seek his \\ I' / fortune in the northern fish cries - Man y times when he - was sailing through the fiords —: _ -• r-A~_, he found himself locked in by mountain walls, with no ap- JPjC/ parent outlook.

Sometimes it seems that advertising is beting wasted, that there is no possible way that it will turn out profitably, but if the advertiser will keep right on he will find clear business channels opening, and in the end will make a safe land ing in the harbor of success. A little advertising may be unprofitable when a great deal would pay handsomely. Short-time advertising seldom pays. That is the reason that ads in the many ephemeral "schemes" that come to every business man • 40L are never profitable. It is con- v tinuous, consistent, courageous, intelligent advertising in the best newspapers that always and infal- —- libly brings good returns. Persistence in it pays. It's the nian who gets scared » ard quits who loses his money. <Heman wh ° Us " Copyright, Charles Austin Hates, New York. lilt 'KNKMi rxiVKitsiTV, .John Howard Harris, President.
