THIS WAS THE ONLY CERTIFI- CATE FILED BY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF SOMERSET COUNTY, AS THE RECORDS OF TIIE COMMIS- SIONERS’ OFFICE SHOW. Under the leadership of George R.

I could not bear the expense of a trial that would have cost me $500. For want of time and money I was forced to withdraw from the Republican ticket, and leave the party without a candidate for Jury Commissioner, THOUGH NO PERSON THAN MYSELF EVER CLAIMED A RIGHT TO A PLACE ON THE RE.

In last week’s Meyersdale cial would-be editor Smith sa Commer- g - While the Commercial is loyal to Stalwart Republicanism as exemplified in the Philadelphia National Republi- can Convention which nominated Me- Kinley and Roosevelt, and to the State Republican Conveniion that met at Harrisburg, it is in no sense the organ of the party. It supports the prinei- ples of the Republican party from faith and choice, not from compulsion. In other words it is a free lance, hence regularity has no claims upon it. Well, that is singing a different song from the one Smith was singing a few motnhs ago. Then he was boasting of his regularity, his Republicanism, ete. but now he says his paper is in no sense an organ of the Republican party. “In other words”, he says, it is a free lance, hence regularity has no claims on it”. He says he is a loyal the outslart, but before finishes he admits that he is not a Republican. We believe his latter statement, how could aloyal Republican support Dr. P. P. Ritter as Smith is doing? Rit- ter is a Virginian, and we have always been told he was a soldier in the Rebel army. What kind of a Republican is it that would vote for an ex-rebel on the Demoratic ticket? Just ask Ritter which army he fought in during the Civil War when he you to vote for him, and then you'll likely see him turn red. Repubiican in he for asks A LIZ ON ITs FACE.

The above editorial taken from last Ne As- have for Koontz | week’s Commercial is a lis on its face, and we can prove it by the Commercial itself. We are told by Smith that neither the so-called Stalwarts nor the Republicans have any candidates in this county for Assembly, and the very first sentence in the foregoing editorial from old Polparrot Smith ’s editorial is admission that Stalwarts and Republicans are two different organiza- tions. Well, it is true that the wart bolters of this county have no candidates for Assembly of their own, but the have, and by Smith's own paper we can prove that they of the Commercial that the foregoing editorial appears, there appears the entire Republican ticket, and in reading the tieket over we find the fol- lowing: an open Stal- Republicans have, for on the very same page also REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.

You are publishing it and have been proclaiming for weeks that it is the Republican ticket, and you and ev- erybody else knows that it is the Re- publican ticket. Iurthermore, you liave promised from the start that you | would give the ticket your loyal sup- port. Now, in the face of all this, how can you deny your own published | statements? You say that the Repub- licans have no candidates for Assembly | in this county, yet on the very same page you publish the names of Koontz and Kendall as being the candidates of Republicans for Assembly in this coun- ty. What kind of a “jassack” anyway? your are you, Do you think people will be- lies when your own liar? Not on your crooked, worthless life! They will be apt to say: “Lou Smith is a fool as well as a knave, and he has a through ticket for that warm place that is said to be paved with gcod intentions, or else a ticket for the lunatic asylum.” Oh, you old blear-eyed shadow of a man! You old pair of pants stuffed with straw! You old peddler of eam- paign lies and deception! You old traitor to the Republican party! Is your conscience but a shadow, the same as your old, worthless carcass is but the shadow of a man? Why should you try to feed the people apples of Sodom so that their bellies, like yours. should be filled with wind? You ought to be in better business, lieve paper proclaims you a old man, than bolting the Republican ticket, the ticket whieh you carry at your masthead and have promised to support. We believe you would rather be dirty and treacherous for nothing than to be clean, honorable and manly for a good salary.

The honest hus- bandman in the fable took up the ser- pent from the freezing snow, and plac- ing it in his bosom he warmed it to life at his fireside, only to haveit turn poi- sonous fangs against its benefactor. Confederate General Scull and his small rebellious band in times past have held high seats in the councils of the party. Upon them were placed the gilts and honors of oflice,but now when others are bidden to step up higher, these disgruntled renegades fire on the flag that kept them safe, charging on the gallant defenders that sheltered them all. Base, ignoble treachery! Cruel, foul ingratitude! Now that the thin-skinned hypocrisy of these bandits is brought to open view, their old-time babble of party harmony and party-wrecking is seen to be but the double-tongued fraud of Ananias. They are the these precious pets, who are the first to draw the knife. Their fratricidal dirk is quickest turned at brothers in arms, and they strike in the back the men that prospered them. Fellow Republicans, our first duty is to our party,and when we have won the day, when the last armed foe ex- pires, then we can reckoning with treachery in our ranks. First we must see to our vote; we must carry the old standard to victory; each man on our ticket must get the call if it takes thirty-six hours work a day from now until the polls close. Let each good Republican hunt up his careless neighbor; let each turn out early on election morning and piteh in, tooth and toenail, for the ticket, the whole ticket and nothing but the Republican ticket.

But they can do neither. She shall sail grandly on, and their weak blows shall fall almost without effect upon her iron sides. Republicans of Somerset county, we call you to witness who were the loyal soldiers when honors were divided to others. Who fought from the ranks when their success and ability brought them no reward?

Away back in 1882 General James A. Beaver was nominated on the Republi- can ticket for Governor of this state. He was an old soldier, and as a man there was no ill feeling against him, but he was not fairly nominated, and owing to that Col. yohn Stewart, a life- long Republican ran for Governor on an independent ticket. It is a matter of history that Lou Smith and many much better men all over the state voted for Col. Stewart. As a matter of course both Beaver and Stewart were defeated, and this brought the Republicans to their senses. It brought about fair nominations after that, and it also brought all of Colonel Stewart’s followers in this county back to the Republican party, even down to Lou Smith, the chief of the seceders. And they have all remained there ever since, with the single exception of Lou Smith, the old pair of pants that pre- sides over the uncertain destinies of the Meyersdale Flipper-Flopper. But Lou couldn’t stand it long in the Republican ranks, so three years later, in 1885, he again jumps over the party fence to elect Samuel Philson, a life- long Democrat, to the -office of Poor Director, and mind you, after he had al ed the name of John C. Barron, the Republican candidate to @ this, ready hoist few dis- | | the masthead of his paper, and whom | Civil War. he had promised from the start to sup- i port. But he failed to elect Philson. | and then, like a sneaking sheep dog, he | came sneaking back into the Republi- can ranks. | But Le didn’t come to stay, and it’s a | fine thing he didn’t, for such men are | worth nothing to the party, and now old Lucifer is again out of the Republi- can ranks. He is now advocating the election of two Democrats to the Legis- Iature, instead of supporting the Re- publican candidates, Koontz and Ken- dall, as he promised to do when he hoisted their names along with the rest of the Republican ticket to the mast- head of his paper. In the face of all these things, which none can deny, how ean Lou Smith have any claims on the Republican party? . rr. SEVERELY REBUKED. Meyersdale Commercial Sat Down Upon by the Leading Quay Paper of Pittsburg. The Meyersdale Commercial has al- ways been a great admirer of the old and well known Pittsburg Commercial Gazette, the oldest newspaper of Pitts- burg as well as the most prominent out and out Quay organ in Western Penn- sylvania. Lou Smith has quoted more political editorials from the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette, and did more favorable commenting on the same than it has from any other paper in Pennsylvania; but we hardly think old Lucifer will this week reprint the lead- ing editorial from last Saturday’s edi- tion of the Commercial Gazette, for it is not likely that he will want his so- called Stalwart friends in this county to know how the Stalwart Commercial Gazette censures and rebukes him for bolting a portion of the regularly nomi- nated Republican ticket of this county. | Following is the Commercial zett’s editorial in full: The Meyersdale C ommercial | is wrong in urging the stalwart Republican vot- ers of Somerset county to vote against the Republican nominees for the legis- Inture, declaring they (Messrs. Koontz and Kendall) are insurgents and that the only way to kill the insurgent movement in Somerset county is to “vote it to death.” If the Republicans of Somerset county should take the ad- vice of the Meyersdale Commercial | they would ce: to be stalwart Re- publicans, and instead of voting the insurgent movement to death they would widen the already too wide breach between Republicans and give power to the Democrats. This is not the stalwart Republican way of doing things. The stalwart Republicans should give hearty, honest support to the two gentlemen who have been de- clared by the courts the regular Re- pubiican nominees for the legislature. The regular Republican nominees, from President McKinley down, should re- ceive every Republican vote. Differ- ences of opinion should be laid on the shelf, at least until the next primary elections, and Republicans of all shades of thought and feeling should go to the polls on election day to mark in the cir- cle at the head of the Republican col- umn. Aid and comfort should not be given the Democratic party by voting for any part of the D’emocratic ticket or by scratening any part of the Re- publican ticket. Our Meyersdale contemporary makes a feature at the head of its editorial columns of announcing as its choice “for president in 1904, Theodore Roose- velt, New York.” It can best help its favorite by urging Republicans to be true to their principles, to themselves and to each other. ~~ DEMOCRATIC RALLY. Two “Alecks” address a Salisbury Audi nce. Last Wednesday evening there was to be a Democratic rally in Salisbury which was to be addressed by such men as Col. Robt. Me¢Namara and oth- er prominent men, but no such gather- ing materialized as was billed. Of course there was a rally, but it was one something after the manner of a freak dime museum. The first speaker, or rather apology for a speaker, was the nonentity who presides over the degenerated columns of the Somerset Democrat, a paper which in general appearance and make- up resembles a chronic case of jim jams. Yes, Alex. Grof was the first speaker, and oh, Lord, what a speech! He sputtered around for about fifteen minutes without saying anything worth listening to, as most of the Democrats who heard him freely admit. His chief stock in trade was made up of quota- tions, or rather misquotaticns from Bryan’s speeches, and these he would get so badly mixed up. distorted and twisted that by the time he would be through with them he would leave im- pressions just the opposite from those intended. This “Aleck” actually made himself ridiculous, and one Democrat in the audience was heard to remark in an audible tone: “D n such rot! I came here to listen to facts, but I hear nothing but d——-d lies, so I guess I'll vote for MeKinley.” The next speaker was Hon. A. H. Coffroth, of Somerset, a Democratic war horse who needs no introduction to our people. Mr. Coffroth is an old man beyond his three score years and ten, yet he is remarkably well preserv- ed for a man of his age. Outside of his polities Mr. Coffroth is a gallant old man, and on many topies he could still make a good speech, despite his ad- vanced age; but really it looks like an imposition on the man to be sent out to defend the rotten and undemocratic cause of Bryanism. Mr. Coffroth seemed to feel the im- position thrust upon him, and he seem- ed to realize most keenly that little or no argument could be produced in favor of Mr. Bryan and his wild and woolly doctrines. At any rate Mr. | Coffroth produced no argument. His | speech was largely made up of a fine eulogy on the memory of Abraham | | Lincoln, adding, of course, that our flag in the Philippines should be hauled down, ete, ete. Mr. Coffroth’s remarks brought tol the mind of the writer a speech that he Leard this same Mr. Coffroth make | Ga- in Salisbury, away back in the Sixties, | during the dark and bloody days of the | | mules and the Mr. Coffroth wa favor | 1g the war and hauling down the fag then, and at that : did of stopp time ed s he did in hie oh Tast Wednesd vening. At that time he denou ans tyrant, a despot, Lincoln as a and a man whose election was bound | to destroy the Republic and give us | militarism and imperialism instead. But times have indeed elunge »d. and Mr. Coffroth’s opinion of Lincoln chang- ed with it. And just soit will be in Major McKinley’s case. The time will come when the very men who are now denouncing MecKinley and the Philip- pine war as a failure, will eulogize our gallant President and acknowledge that his Philippine policy was most wise and statesmanlike. AX 1863 REPUBLICAN. ee Great Republican Rally. The Republican rally at Meyersdale, last Friday evening, was one of the largest and most enthusiastic ever held in Somerset county. The people turn- ed out en masse, and the crowd was far too large to be seated in Slicer’s large opera house, so the mecting was held on the street, the weather being warm and pleasant, and the neat and substantial band stand at the foot of Center street and Meyers avenue af- forded a good place from which the speakers could address the large crowd. The speakers were Hon. C. H. Jén- nings, of Sullivan county; Hon. M. Hosack, of Allegheny county; Mr. Mackrell, of Pittsburg, who last year was president of the Pennsylvania State League of Republican Clubs; Senator John 8. Weller, of Bedford county ; Hon. W. H. Koontz and I. J. Kooser, Esq., of Somerset. Each speaker was roundly applauded, and all of them urged the great im- Geo. tire Republican ticket from top to bot- tom. The welcome accorded Hon. Wm I. Koontz was a veritable ovation, and it is needless to say that he mist eloquent speech. Musie was furnished by the Salisbury and Meyersdale bands, and a most ex- cellent male quintet from Pittsburg. The audience was variously esti- mated at from 3,000 to 4,000 people, and Salisbury did herself proud in having a large delegation there. Wherever our man Jennings goes the crowd will go; rest assured of that. We refer to the first speaker, who is a Sullivan county man, but whose temporary residence is inSalisbury. Mr. Jennings is one of our Republican presidential electors, an® he is a good speaker as well all-around good man. We of him here in 8 as an are proud alisb Bold Attempt to Boscive Voters. The Somerset Herald this week tries to deceive voters by telling them a glaring untruth about marking their bollots. It’s purpose in doing this is to make it bothersome and inconvenient for voters to mark their ballots. We print the following great untruth from this week’s Herald: It will be impossible for a Somerset county Republican to vote a “straight ticket” by placing a X in the circle at the top of the Republican column this year, thanks to Koontz, Kooser, K dall and their subservient tools. The Republican eolumn does not contain the name of the Republican candidate for Jury Commissioner, and in order to vote for him the voter will have to make a X in the square opposite the name of Theodore E. Rhoads, which oppears in another column on the bal- lot. In their effort to defeat a candi- date for a minor office who received more votes at the primary than did either Koontz, Kooser or Kendall, these gentlemen have made it impossible for the Re publican voters of the county to mark their tickets in the usual way and will probably cause scores of voters to lose their votes. Now what are the facts in this case? We will tell you, and the Herald will read it and know that what we say is true. First, it will not be necessary for you to mark every name in the Re- publican column to vote a straight Re- publican ticket, as the Herald would have you believe. All you will have to do to vote for every candidate on the Republican ticket is to make an X in the circle at the top of the Republican column. The fact that no candidate’s name appears in the Republican column for Jury Commissioner mekes no difference whatever. ‘All the Somerset Herald is after is to put you to inconvenience and keep you from voting a straight Republican ticket. The arch fiend and party traitor of the Somerset Herald knows this, but he wants you to split your ticket, put your- self to inconvenience and then blame some innocent party for your blunder and inconvenience. An X mared in the circle at top of the Republican column is a vote for ev- ery Republican candidate onthe ticket. Having done this, you are still entitled to a vote for Jury Commissioner, and there being no candidate’s name print- ed in the Republican column for that of- fice, you have a legal right to make an X after the name of Edward Coleman in the Honest Government column,who is a Republican and was forced off the ticket by unfair means. Mr.Coleman’s card to voters, which appears in this issue, explains all and makes your duty plain. -~ Mr. Threpo Gets Another Batch of Pensions Granted.
