THE SCULLELICKS ARE | 1 | A commis- | NOW IN THE S00P. Dean Blow To Plot Against Repudlcan Ticks. THE BOLTERS AND THE DEMOCARTS IN A DEAL. They Turn Out a Mongrel Ticket that Won’t Fool Anybody. From the Somerset Standard. The two weeks just passed have been weeks of ups and dows for the aggre- gation that has been plotting to defeat the Republican ticket in this county. The aggregation referred to is compos- ed of the Scull gang, and the few Demo- crats who assume the power to throw the Democratic party into any deal whose maw may be open. The ignominious failure of the bolt led by this same Scull gang last fall is a matter of history. In that bolt these Sculloerats abandoned every right to membership in the Republiean party, and turned their combined influence to the support of the Democratic party. Last spring these Scullocrats pretend- ed to be Republicans again long enough to put up a ticket at the Republican primary and see it overwhelmingly de- feated. From that day to this they have been plotting to defeat the ticket then nominated. Their organ, the Bolters’ Bazoo, sometimes called “Her- ald,” has persistently refused to recog- nize the ticket nominated at the Re- publican primary, and its gang have as persistently, ‘as a matter of business,” conspired to overthrow that ticket or force it into a “business deal.” They have not done and cannot do either. When the time came to gather up the threads of the weeks of plotting these Scullocrats had indulged in, and crystalize them in a ticket of opposi- tion to the Republican ticket, they felt the necessity of a candidate of unques- tioned character upon whom to build their bolters’ ticket, and in their dire extremity they were driven to seek such in the person of one who had with entire consistency opposed their tricky methods through a score of years, and in one whom they had maligned with their every political breath and pen throughout that period. The Scallites didn’t dare to approach General Koontz with such a monstrous propositirn, but they dared to send their emissaries. With the stealth of a cunningly conceived plan they first in- spired certain bolters and Democrats of Bedford county with their plot in order that the initial solicitation might come from abroad. These Bedford emissaries of the Scullites played their part well, and then the Scull heelers at home began their approaches, and for days and weeks they and certain Demo- crats were frequent callers at General Koontz’s office. They persistently im- portuned him to become an independ- ent candidate for the State Senate. They did not intimate to him that their plot included the building of an entire bolters’ county ticket upon his candidacy. They knew that such an intimation would thwart their plans. But they assured him that he was to run alone, and that not only they, but the Bolters’ Bazoo, would efface the venomous past with a coat of loyalty and roll up support for him in great pundles. Finally, when this sort of importunity had become almost un- bearable, General Koontz agreed to become a candidate, with the under- standing that he was to run alone. The next morning the gang was hilarious. In order that the editor of the Bolters’ Bazoo might shirk respon- sibility, as he always does, the office of John R. Scott was made headquarters. There nomination papers under the name “Citizens’ Party” were drawn up, and the heelers sent out to bring in signers. J. Calvin Lowry, who “didn’t approve of the bolt,” obeyed orders and took papers to Elk Lick for signaturs; Harvey M. Berkley, who has cut about as many political didos in his brief career as one man could cut, was sent to Meyersdale with papers, and others were sent elsewhere. The Bolters, the trading Democrats and the single individual who com- poses the Union party of this county were in high feather. They had been successful in the first point in their con- spiracy and they chuckled with broad faces. Their visions of a split in the ranks of organization Republicans and of the Standard’s guns spiked, lifted them to a state of joy that seldom illusion lasted. They secured the re- quired number of signatures, in one way or other, and hustled their papers off to Harrisburg. Then they took up the task of form- ing a county ticket, but it was up hill work. It was bard ito find men who were willing to lend themselves to the schemers to the extent of becoming candidates on a bolters’ ticket. Then came the Bolters’ Bazoo, with its tale of a “Political Bomb Exploded,” but the gay old deceiver was hiding be- hind a “leader of the Citizens’ party with whom the Bazoo reporter talked yesterday morning.” Aithough the Bolters’ Bazoo crowd were the origina- tors of this bolters’ movement they didn’t have the courage to father the thing in the Bazoo. Fearing that the thing might yet spring a leak, the Ba- zoo wanted to keep within reach of a life preserver, regardless of what might happen to its emissaries. It was a piece of cowardly journalism that must have revealed to the heelers not the explosion of political bomb, but the ex- plosion of a knavish trick, in which the chief knaves were taking pretty good care of their own hides. The turn of the tide came soon enough, and showed that the man at bellows of the Bazoo, though a shirker, is yet shrewder than his servants. The Standard came out with its guns not spiked, and Republicans came up with a solid front to fight for their ticket against any assault the boiters might make upon it. Then came the depress- ing news from Harrisburg that the Scull emissaries in Bedford had made a fizzle of their nomination paper. This took the wind from the sails of the gang and the extension of their faces promptly changed from a horizontal to perpendicular. Each member of the gang looked as if he had swallowed a political bomb that was likely to ex- plode at any moment. The Bazoo’s boast that the gang would get up a bolters’ county ticket, and the efforts of the gang to do so, brought to Gen- eral Koontz the truth of the deception that had been practiced upon him, and he promptly notified the gang of the withdrawal of his name as a candidate. Thus was the bubble of the gang bursted. Their brief joy had fled, and a more lantern-jawed set of political plotters never sauntered about the streets of, Somerset. They were the weary possessors of a scheme loose at both ends and threatening to rip in the middle at any minute. They didn’t know whether they were going or com- ing, and didn’t seem to care. The heelers, not wanting to wait till the re- porter of the Bolters’ Bazoo again in- terviewed *‘a leader of the Citizens’ party in the morning,” sought “Scot- tie’s” office, where they hoped “Scottie” and “Your Uncle Aleck” would be able to tell them where they “were at.” They were the most bilious-looking set of Seullelicks one could see in a month’s travel. “Scottie” and “Your Uncle Aleck,” who are experts in the manufacture of inspiration, assured the depressed heel- ers that all was not lost; that they would have the chief bolter (though he must be kept under cover), appeal to Boss Flinn, of Pittsburg, to send his man Weller up to patch up the rents in the “busted” plot. The appeal was made, Weller came, and the gang held its breath. After the arrival of the evening train, Monday, members of the gang and Democrats who are in the plot hurried to the hotel to give the Pittsburg emissary the glad hand. With this inspiration he hied himself to the office of the Bolters’ Bazoo for final instructions, and then to the office of General Koontz, where his pleadings ran far into the night. But the Gener- al was firm in his determination to withdraw from the scheme into which the gang had deceived him. He de- clared that he would not be a party to any scheme that would oppose the reg- ular Republican county ticket ; that he would only agree to be a candidate un- der his origiaal agreement, which was that he should run alone; or that the remainder of the ticket should be the entire Republican ticket—State, dis- trict and county. This, of course, rob- bed the Scullelicks of their entire plot, and their wind was again gone; and after the passing of the morning train Weller was gone, too. The very meat of the Scullelick plot was the formation of a county ticket upon which the Scull gang and the Aleck Democrats could unite. Al- though the Democrats of the county, through their represencatives in coun- ty convention last spring, nominated a full county ticket, the bosses who have ‘| 50e. and $1. crats and Republicans, for the Dense cratic ticket and the so-called “Cite - zens’ ” ticket are now identical. There are some glaring incongom- ties in this mongrel ticket. For am stance, on the ticket dished up for thes Democrats there are two alleged Be publicans for the State Assembly. Just how Democrats will get these Alesk- coated pills down remains to be seen. “Your Uncle Aleck” must think the Democrats of the county ina high states of biliousness to prescribe such a dos=. On the other band the Scuil ticket didi es up Democrats for the offices of Poe thonotary, Register of Wiils, Clerk of Courts, Treasurer, Commissioner, As ditor, County Surveyor and Coroner. Voters who have delighted in calling themselves “Stalwart Repulicans” wilt hardly be able to get this concoctimm down without a generous accompami- ment of Timmie sauce. Hey, diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle, Uncle Aleck jumped over the moon, Little Aleck laughed to see such sport And Timmie ran away with the spoon.

Calvin Low= ry is to run for State Senator on the mongrel ticket, since General Koontz has refused to accept the empty dis honor. Well, it won’t hurt J. Calvie much to get another good licking. He's used to it, you know. TaAT old deflated bladder, Lou Smith, has again served notice on the Republi- can organization of Somerset county that he once more has a good licking i® reserve for the Republican ticket. “Lucifer” has been serving notice te that effect for several years, but the licking has never materialized. The lash always descends upon his owm back, where it does the most good, and that’s where it will land this year Poor old “Lucifer!” “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.” Last week the Meyersdale Commer- cial was supporting General Koontz for State Senate, although the Generaf had withdrawn from the mongrel ticket nearly a week before the Commercial was issued. Just who the Commercial will support this week, we have not learned at this writing. Perhaps i will be “Mans” Baughman, H. Clay McKinley or “Lobster-nosed Gabe”™ Lichty. The Commercial was first for Miller, then for Koontz, and next i will be for any old thing, if “Timmie™ Scull does not keep “Lucifer” posted better. If “Lucifer” can’t keep om sucking the hind teat he will suck the old Scull-Coffroth cow’s tail. This will be hard on the old political cow, for she needs her tail to keep the flies off of her poor old carcass. Tur Cambria county Unionists haye withdrawn their ticket and the leaders of the movement have instructed their followers to vote the Republican tickes. This insures the re-election of Con gressman Evans. As old Somerset is no longer in the old 20th congressionsl district with Cambria, Blair and Bed- ford, we are naturally not as mueh in- terested in the politics of that distriet as we used to be. Nevertheless, we are glad to know that Congressmam Evans has such excellent prospects for re-election. His official record thus far has been excellent, and we do net think his district could well afford te turn him down. We used to have great confidence in the republicanism of his opponent, Joseph E. Thropp, bat since Mr. Thropp has decided to run cm a fusion ticket, he has shown that he is any old thing for Mr. Thropp and aa office for himself. No Republican cem afford to go outside of his party to vote for Mr. Thropp or any other fusionist. The sly Joseph has adopted the tactics of Geo. R. Scull, Harvey M. Berkley and other soreheads in our own coun ty, who are also in the fusion business this year. They are all in the sam= dirty business—trying to ruin the Re- publican party because they ca rule it. All of the fusionists na owe the Republican party a great de been in the plot with the Scull gang, in order to complete their part of the deal, retired several of the candidates nomi- nated in convention to make room for comes to such tricksters. They did not know how unreal the visions were, but they drank deeply of the joy while the the bolters set up by the Scull gang, thus forming a ticket that ought to, and probably will, disgust both Demo- gro but the and old party owes thes nothing but a most severe and bli: ing rebuke. Here's hoping ths Evans will be elected by an overwhelos- ing majority, and we are glad to know | that the fusion movement in Cambria | has been abandoned.
