TAME EFFORT TO OPPOSE REGULAR ORGANIZATION. Political Piracy of Bolters Does not Meet With Favor. From the Somerset Standard. The aggregation of “spell-binders” which held forth in the court house Tuesday evening did not attract the crowd or create the enthusiasm which the bolters who arranged for the meet- ing hoped it would. There was a crowd there, of course; and it was large enough to fill comfortably all of the benches in the court room. But it was not necessary to tear down the wall- paper or carry out the Goddess of Jus- tice in order to make standing room. One man found the gallery a comforta- ble place to rest off a “jag,” and the half-dozen small boys who were the other gallery occupants selected it as a good place to witness the oratorical fire-works—which never materialized. Three excellent musical organiza- tions—Beals’ Military Band, the Berlin Cornet Band and the Concert Orches- tra—were engaged to furnish music for the occasion, and every other effort was made to have a large turnout. A special train run from Meyersdale car- rying Beals’ Military Band and about 150 men and boys, reached here at sev- en o’clock. The Concert Orchestra began the evening’s entertainment at half-past seven o'clock, and after playing some of their best music for half an hour at- tracted a crowd of less than one hun- dred and fifty persons. Henchmen were sent out to bring in the people and announce that the time for the meeting to begin had arrived. It was twenty minutes after eight o’clock when James M. Cover of Rock- wood called the audience to order and nominated II. Clay McKinley of Mey- ersdale for Chairman of the meeting, and the machinery began to move ac- cording to program. Before taking the chair Mr. McKinley thanked the audi- ence for the honor which had been be- stowed upon him, and called for fur- ther nominations. The Chairman rec- ognized J. Calvin Lowry, who drew a typewritten paper from his pocket and read the names of sixty-seven citizens of the county, whom he nominated for vice presidents of the meeting, and six or seven others secre- taries. Chairman MeKinley announced that all those whose names had been read should consider themselves duly elected and come forward. But they did not come. It is only necessary to state that perhaps not one-half of them were present, and that some of them have not been in Somerset borough for years. Some of those who were named from Somerset borough were not near the court house. The first speaker of the evening was Attorney A. E. Evans, of Ebensburg, who was nominated for Congress by the illegal conference at Johnstown a few weeks ago, and he was given a warm reception by the large number of claquers present. The audience had by this time reached its high water mark, in point of attendance, and a number of those who were there to see Mr. Evans left shortly after he began his address. Addresses were also made by ex- Congressman N. Brumm, of Schuylkill county and Congressman Thad. DM. Mahon, of Franklin county. The speak- ers confined themselves to national polities entirely, and not a word was said in favor of the state and county candidates—except by Mr. Brumm,who wanted to see “that man ‘Ivans’ in Congress.” Inshort, the speeches lack- ed inspiration. However, some thirty persons stuck it out until 11 o'clock, when the meeting adjourned. The meeting was held under the au- spices of the Quay faction of the Re- publican party, which, under the lead- ership of George R. Scull, is opposing the regular county organization. The call for the meeting was signed “James M. Cover, Chairman of the County Committee.” were named as Cover is the man whom the bolters’ convention pretended to elect county chairman last April, but in the election contest case from this county before the Dauphin county court, Judge Si- monton declared the Cover convention an illegal body and recognized the elec- tion of Henry F. Barron as chairman of the regular convention. This action of the bolters in holding a meeting for the sole purpose of opposing the regu- lar organization is regarded by Repub- licans throughout the county as the boldest political move in the history of the county, and they are wondering what will come next. They view the meeting as an unwarranted effort to stir up factional strife at a time when the party should be uniting for a high- er purpose. ea IF it Ball not been for Republican “expansion” Hawaii would not have become a part of the Union; if Hawaii had not become a part of the Union, a Hawaiian delegate-at-large would not have sat in the Democratic convention and been a member of the platform committee; if it had not been for the vote of this Hawaiian member of the platform committee, the 16 tol plank would have been beaten despite the telephonic orders from Lincoln; if this plank had been beaten, Bryan, accord- ing to his own words, would have re- fused to run for President. How, therefore, can Bryan logically inveigh against expansion, in view of the fact that he himself is a derivatiye from it?

We know that it is hard for Mr.Smith to tell the truth concerning his contempo- raries and the pe county, but once in a will obey the dictates amount of conscience utter a true statement. To possess the merit of grit, consis- teney and loyalty to friends is some- thing creditable and to be proud of. We thank Editor Smith for the compli- ment, and it would give us pleasure if we could consistently and conscienti- ously say as much to his credit as he has said to ours; but we can’t do it and uphold our reputation at the same time. The Commercial has for a number of years been a “wishy-washy” sheet, ut- terly devoid of consistency unfaith- ful to its friends, disloyal to the very people who have more than once help- ed its editor over rough places in his journalistic career. Even now he is engaged in abusing men who were once his staunch friends and backers— men who stuck to him as brothers and kept his craft afloat—men who never deserted him until Le deserted them by going over to the very gang that from the start tried to starve the Commer- as they try to starve all other newspapers that refuse to bend the knee to the baal of Quayism, and for political plunder relegate conscience, manly principle and truth to the back- ground. It is a well known fact that in 1882 there was a split in the Republican party throughout this entire state, and it is just as well known that the Mey- ersdale Commercial was the official or- gan in this county of the revolt against and the Scull ring. Editor Smith, deny this if you dare that you voted and publically advocated the only independent ticket that was ever before the people of Somerset county. Deny if you dare that you are now abusing honest people for having done the very thing you instructed and urged them to do. Show up if you dare that there was ever an independent Repub- lican ticket before the people of Som- erset county, at a general election,since 1882. Yes, old man, we would like to say something good of you, but we can’t do it and tell the truth, as you well know. If ever there was ingrate, if ever there was a traitor to bis friends, if ever there was a bigotted, self-conceited, in- consistent, double-dealing, conscience- less, kicking and bolting political jack- ass, its you, Editor Smith, and you know it. Ingratitude and faithlessness are the blackest of sins, the most loathsome of moral crimes, but Editor Smith is guilty of them, and he justly deserves the contempt he is held in by all who have beheld him with his mask off. al situation in this great while he of the small left and he has cial, bossism c Salisbury and Elk Lick Republicans Organize. In response to a call issued through Tre Srar, last week, by Committee man 8. L.

The following named officers were elected: ‘President, John Meager; Vice Presi- dents, A. B. Lowryand I. L. Beachy; Secretary, P. L. Livengood ~{reasurer, 8S. L. Livengood. Tn, For a beginning, the meeting was a very enthusiastic one, and over 50 members were enrolled. This list will be swelled to several times that num- ber within the next two weeks, for the Republicans of this vicinity are not of the sleepy kind, and every member of the club has pledged himself to work for the success of the entire Republi- can ticket, National, State and County, from now until the polls close on the evening of Nov. 6th. The club has rented the opera house from now until the morning after ‘the election, to meet every Thursday even- ing at 8 o'clock, beginning with Thurs day Oct. 11th. The meetings will be very interesting, as a good program will be prepared for each meeting night, consisting of short speeches suit- able campaign songs by a Republican glee club, also suitable campaign songs and speeches rendered by a first class graphophone outfit. Remember the date of the next meeting, Thursday evening, Oct. 11th at 8 o'clock.
