Last year the machine refused to hold a Primary election because the candi- dates did not furnish all the grease the pirates wanted. It is not grease the machine wants now; it is delegates it wants. Delegates who dare not come out | into open field and contest at the polls with honorable men for election to that position. Delegates who are willing to follow wherever their master leads, i even though it is torsink the party to { defeat, as Quay and his creature have { done before. Delegates is not all the | machine wants to name. Rufus E. Meyers, a candidate for District Attor- ney, called on Mr. Berkley at various times within the last month, signifying his desire to be a candidate for that oflice, but Mr. Berkley refused to re- ceive his announcement and fee. On Monday last Mr. ‘Meyers tendered Chairman Berkley thirty ($30) dollars, office of District Attorney; the money was refused. Mr. Meyers then at- tempted to place in Berkley’s hand a written notice of his desire to announce his name for District Attorney; he re- fused to receive it. Mr. Meyers then attempted to read the notice to him; jue ran away, refusing to listen to it. We print the notice, which is as fol- | | lows: | To Mamrvey M. BErRkLEY, Chairman { of the Republican County Committee | l of Somerset county, Pennsylvania. Sir: —I authorize you to announce | my name for District Attorney, as I | desire to be a candidate for said office | at the ensuing Republican Primary | | election to be held in Somerset county, { Penna. My place of residence is in Somerset | borough, Somerset county, Penna. | { thirty (%$20,00) dollars, the announce- ' ment fee provided for by Rule 20 of | I the “Rules and regulations governing | | Republican Primary Elections of Som- | erset county, Penna.” and in in addi- | ~ | tion to the requirements of the said | » | rules. I further agree to pay my pro | rata share of any deficiency of Repab- | lican Primary election funds in the | hands of the Chairman of the Republi- | ean County Committee, for the ordi- { nary, usual and necessary expenses of | holding said Republican Primary elec- | tion. : Respectfully submitted, tvrus E. MEvERs. Somerset Pa., April 11th, 1898. Post-office address, Somerset. Pa. | | | | Other candidates were told there is | | plenty of time to announce. Adam S. | Miller, candidate for Poor Director, was told to call again. S. A. Kendall, a | candidate for Assembly, was told the | Chairman was not receiving announce- I ment fees at this time. A. W, Knep- per, a candidate for Assembly, was put | off with a like swing of the Scull cow- [ tail. Mr. Berkley, will you attempt the | fraud “of 97? Shall the Republican | ticket be nominated by the voters of the party, or are the Quay-Scull foot- | pads putting up their slate? A PRIMARY ELECTION MUST BE HELD, | there will be no steal this year. You { will be compelled to hold an election. this year, and you will be compelled to announce the names of all Republicans | who desire to be candidates, no matter | whether you and the Quayette, whose | creature you are, has a pull on them or not. If you are a man; if you are not a coward; if the Quayette, whom you follow and whose tool you are, has any | backbone, announce every man in the i party who aspires for a nomination, and show to the people of the county that you can be foreed out from behind the “Barker liniment” establishment; in Somerset county the delegates to the regular announcement fee for the | I hereby tender to you the sum of | and we say to you now, Mr. Berkley, | doom. Filth to filth, dirt to dirt, gar- | bage to garbage the people will bury | the ring deep under a covering of its | own foul deeds. And should its ghost { afterward start from the tomb, it shall be laid deeper and flatter than the body. Cringe not, guilty culprit, from | the clutches of your evil master. The devil’s wages must be paid. Think not | that by running from a public vote you can again escape the judgment bar of { justice. We distinguish between the | certainty of justice and the uncertainty | of judicial administration. Primary or no primary, you stand upon the brink of the pit. You would gladly call of the election, for the voice of the people is the voice of God. Dare it not. You will be engulfed a thousand fathoms deep by a tidal wave of votes. The wrath of the people will descend upon you like a thousand avalanches. Tink- ering with the courts will no more save | you than an egg-shell upon the ocean, than a feather in the hurricane. Sub- { mit to a vote is all that you can do, and | when Jove’s thunderbolts shall have stretched your carcass on the field. the | boatman of the river Styx will row you | over its dark waters to the torments in store for you. Triumphant phalanxes { shall wake this glorious county glad | as was Greek liberty in old Plataxa’s day. | It is asked by some timorous persons | whether the destruction of the old ring | will not only result in the building up of a new one to take its place. We an- swer, no! and give our reasons. The | old Scull ring works on a single princi- | ple and is bossed with a single end in | view—that the Scull family, sons and son-in-law, shall be perpetual office- holders, and shall dictate the extra of- | fices they can not themselves fill. Turn | now to the active leaders against the | ring.. You find a dozen men or more, not of a single family, but representing a hundred or more different interests. Though now arrayed in solid battle front, facing the enemy, when that enemy shall have been scattered to the four winds, and the ring crushed to powder, then will these hundred dif- | ferent interests and influences all draw lin their own direction, all rise to their [just and proper level, and an open | field, « free ballot and a fair count | yield to each citizen his right to vote land to be voted for. | | LATEST WAR NEWS. | At the hour of going to press (Wed- | nesday evening) the latest war news is | about as foilows: The Senate and | House have almost reach an angree- | ment to declare for iminediate and forcible intervention in Cuba; that the { Cuban people are independent and are | entitled toa sound government. The President objects to the demand for a speedy withdrawal of the Spanish forces, but Congress is not. likely to recede | from its position. General Lee says | the only way to secure peace is to drive | the Spaniards out, and that the Spanish | oflicers will pilfer the biggest share of the appropriation for the relief of the | sufferers. Tire Star believes (General | Lee is right. “Turn loose the dogs of | war,” seems to be the prevailing senti- | ment in Washington, and it now: looks l as though war is inevitable and bound to come soon. | Wanamaker Turned Bricks.
