sent, because of charges that he has | : :
Presents Dogsune Oe : “and set their party free from the unjust
: gr and oppressive domination of the few
in his district for eash and other valu-!
been engaged in the sale of postofiices
able considerations. For several weeks :
i grave charges have been made in some
lof the Pennsylvanian newspapers, and
{there has been considerable whispering |
| around the capitol that a Pennsylvania |
| member has been detected in the sale
of patronage. Mr. Wanamaker is now
! making a canvass for the governorship
f Pennsylvania, has made such an as- |
sertion in nearly every one of the
{ speeches, but has never named the man. |
! He has only intimated that the culprit |
| was a prominent and active member: of |
{ the Quay machine and has used the |
charge as a reason why that machine |
should be smashed. The facts are rap-
| idly coming to light and are likely to
| culminate in a congressional investiga- |
tion, although it is not probable that |
| Mr, Hicks, -the person alluded |
| to, will follow the advice of some of his
| friends who have confidence in his in- |
tegrity and demand a vindication by
| congress. Some of the charges thus |
far made by rosponsible persons are
that Representative Hicks, who is a
| president of a building and loan asso-
| ciation at Altoona, offered to appoint |
| J. L. Reid postmaster at that city, pro- |
vid d Reid would take or sell among |
| his friends 1,000 shares of stock of that |
company. Second, it is charged that |
| Hicks has demanded and obtained sums |
| ranging from $250 to $650 from persons
who is
| in his district on the pretext of con-
| tributing to his campaign expenses.
Third, Frank Donohue, who was a can-
| didate for the postoffice at Ilastings,
Cambria county, says his friends were
| induced to contribute a purse of $400
| toward the campaign expenses of Mr.
Hicks in order to secure his endorse-
| ment, and that John A. VanDusen, who
| was his competitor, raised the ante to
$650 and secured the appointment. An
attempt was made to mollify and si-
| lence Mr. Donohue by appointing him
| to the smaller office at Carrolltown.
| Postmaster General Smith is familiar
[ with these charges, and it is believed
Y. | that he has already made an investig
Yon through the secret service of ie
department which will shortly be laid
‘before the president, but it is not like-
I 1y to be mgae public. If it is discover- |
ed that any postmaster has paid money |
for his appointment to Mr. Hicks or to
| any other person he will be deelared
persona non grata and his resignation
| will be ealied for. Until the truth is
known all of the appeintments recom- |
{ mended by Mr. Hicks will be held up,
{and he is not likely to be consulted
about other nominations.

May 17.—As there has been no news

| part of the country, I will submit a few |
| notes for publication. I read Tire Star |
and wish it much success.
| The war agitation, mingled with al
| little political controversy now and |
| then, is the principal topic of the day. !
| Candidates are making their round, |
each having some very clever promises
| in store for supporters. Among those
stopping at Sand Flat we note S. A.
Kendall, one of our staunch Republi-
cans who is certainly worthy of all our
support, and will get his dues in this |
i neck of woods.

was rusticating among friends in this

{ W. B. Stevanus and Sherman Davis,
| are attending Normal School at Salis-
| bury. William Tressler, also of this
place, is attending school at Grants-
| ville, Md.
| Some of our good citizens no doubt |
| now realize that “new wood” contracts
are not to be had at all hazards.
King Bros. & Stevanus have moved |

One of our young gentlemen has |

cycle.
This campaign promises to be a hot
ore, and its results are to be Scull or
anti-Scull. Now, which will you have,
voter? That is for you to decide, so
“look before you leap.” The Scull fac-
tion is making an awful howl; they
call all anti-Scull citizens “fakirs.” We
deny that the simple act of protesting
against bossism is faking. Is this not
a free country? If it is not, we had
better proclaim our own liberty instead
of Cuba’s. Let them howl and cheer
now, for after the. 28th they will no
doubt be silenced by ring failure.

The Ring’ s Course.
Somerset Standard.
It is not surprising that the Republi-
cans of this county have determined to
lift up the standard of emancipation
politicians who have held it as a mere
stock in trade for a score of years.
And that these politicians, comnionly
called the Scull ring, have seen this
uprising, and fear its results, is evi-
denced by the fact that their slated
| candidates are now going up and down
i the county denying that they are “Scull
candidates.” A few years ago the Scull-
| slated candidates approached the voter
| with the proud boast that they were
the Scull elects; to-day they approach
the voter with the cringing denial that
they are the Scull candidates.
What does this mean? It simply
means that both the Scull ring and its |
henchmen—who are usually its candi-
dates—have seen the handwriting on
the wall, and dare not go before the
| voter displaying their ring marks.
‘hey know that the parts they have
| played in the reign of misrule have dis-
| gusted the rank and file of the party,
| and they seek to escape the odium that
attaches to every member and heeler |
{of the ring. Their denials are only
| a further evidence of their ring train-
ing.
But why has this Scull ring fallen
into such disrepute among the mem-
bers of the party over which it has
i ruled almost to ruin? The story is a
long one, and it is burdened through-
with selfishness, deceit, trickery
and treachery.
to lay bare the Scull-ring’s reign of
misrale.
We have neither time nor inclination
to delve in the unsavory history of this
clique. It has carried on with a high
hand upon the assumption that having
for years steered our State Legislators
and Delegates to the State Conventions
into the State machine’s net,
only it, is the Republican party of this
county, and the man who ever dared to
raise his hand or voice in opposition to
this pernicious conduct of the party's
affairs has been called a “party-wreck-
er.”
As the Scull ring grew older it got,
bolder, and its appetite for spoils be- |
came insatiable. Greed for lucre and
self-aggrandizement ran riot in the
pates of this political coterie, and
heelers kept up a merry dance in their
itech for ofiice.
machine, and losing
voter—until election time returned—
they forgot that the day of reckoning
must come.
When they finally realized that the |
| honest voters of the county had defer- |
mad career they ||

resorted to every trick known to the
the
an election, appointed their slated can-
didates and sent their own delegates to
the State Convention. They had this
unprecedented procedure Barkerized,
and laughed at the thousands of voters
they had tricked.
They would have repeated this out-
rage this year had they dared, but they
felt the temper of the people and re-
luctantly called a primary election.
They have made their slate, as usual,
and the candidates on this slate are the
ones who are running up and down the
county denying that they are Scull
candidates.
Year after year the Scull ring has de-
livered the Delegates to the State Con-
vention from
ciary. and this year this Somerset coun-
ty clique heads its ticket with the name
of the arrogant boss of the State ma- |

| declaration a few years ago that “one

ty is debarred from being a candidate
at any election at which he cannot
vote.”
eign candidate, as there was when the
above declaration was made, and as the
ring needs money with which to oppose
the will of the people it simply flies in
the face of its own declaration, kicks
over all precedent, and takes firm hold
of the State machine boss’s leg. If the
wily Senator does not come out of his
escapade in this county with an elon-
gated leg and a better knowledge of
the temper of the Republicans of this
county than he ever dreamed of, we
shall be greatly surprised.
The spectacle of the Scull chairman
of the county committee accepting the
regular announcement fee from a score
of candidates, and compelling them to
obligate themselves for a further pull,
then using his influence in the interest
of the Scull slate is one that must irri-
tate in a high degree every Republican
who believes in fair play; yet this has
