HOT SHOT FOR THE OPPOSITION
U..ion Party Scored and Reasons
Given Why Republicans Should
Stand By the Party's Colors This
Fall.
Two Republican editors, one from
the northwestern section of the state
and the other from the east, have just
expressed themselves forcibly on the
present political situation.
' The voters throughout the state
wlio have kept themselves posted
upon political affairs of Pennsylva
nia." says The North East Breeze of
Erie county, "cannot be hoodwinked
or misled by this high sounding and
misleading title of 'The Union Party.'
Voters that have kept in touch with
the political movements for the past
few years are aware of ths fact that a
band of disappointed office-seekers,
headed by John Wanamaker, of Phila
delphia, have resorted to every means
within the reach of boodle and yellow
journal falsehoods to bring discredit
upon the Republican party of this
state.
"Wanamaker has associated with
himself political soreheads that have
been cast oft from the rank and file ,
of both the Republican and Demo
cratic parties. Defeated in every ef
fort to procure office, they instigated
a movement to besmirch and throw dis
credit upon each of the old parties,
and their leaders, by using the col
umns of their yellow journals, owned
and controlled by their $ leader, John
Wanamaker.
HISTORY OF THE CONSPIRACY.
"The history of this conspiracy
dates hack to the memorable cam
paign when John Wanamaker an
nounced himself aw a candidate for
tho United States senatorship. Up
to this time It was supposed that
Wanamaker was a Republican: but be
ing outgeneraled and out-voted by
Boise Penrose, he took his defeat in
a manner that soon develeped the fact
that at heart he was a faetionist, and
had never been a Republican in
reality.
"From that time up to the present
he and his followers of the worst po
litical element in the state have car
ried on a political war of the rule or
ruin policy, and with a record that
will present itself to them through all
time as a disgrace to honest politics
and the fair name of the common
wealth of Pennsylvania.
REPUBLICANS WILL TRIUMPH.
"We are confident in the belief that
all of the candidates of the Republican
party, regularly and unanimously nom
inated y the recent state convention,"
declares the Lebanon Courier, "will he
ele< :ed in November by splendid ma
jorities. despite all the efforts of re
creant Republicans to bring about their
defeat.
"During the course of the campaign
the Courier will earnestly and loyally
extend its editorial support to the full
Republican tikcet. The Courier de
fines its position thus unmistakably
berause Its owes to its Republicanism,
to its large circle of readers and to
itself a manly and straightforward ex
plosion of its policy. We have noth
ing but contempt for the trimmers, the
sne.iking, smock-fared, milk-livered
Bob Acres of journalism, who fear to
speak their drivelling thoughts he
cause, forsooth, their opinions might
in some quarters meet disapprobation.
The Courier has always believed, and
believes now, that the only course op«n
to a self-respecting, patriotic American
citizen and to an honest, reputable
American newspaper, is to bear an
oi>en and courageous part in all ques
tions of public interests —an obligation,
and one of the very first obligation
of American citizenship.
FOR STALWART REPUBLICANISM.
"In the course of the next few
months we will give frequent utterance
to our views of the political struggle
which will engage the attention of the
people of this state, and will not hesi
tate to speak its judgment without
mincing any words in the expression
of its firm convictions. There are tnoae
probably not in great numbers,
locally—who will be in open antago
nism to the position we have thua
plainly assumed—and they will surely
be exeroisingonlytheir unquestionable
right. This paper will abuse no one
because of any possible party affilia
tion. If we speak of the motives of
the men responsible for the new prou

Deafness Cannot be Cored
by local applications, as they cannot reach th«
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
wav to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of tho
Eustachian Tube. When this tube get«|inllamed
you havo u rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can bo
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
, nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which ie nothing but cn inflamed condition Gi
Uie mucous nurfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
