Camp 183, P, o. S. of A., Last Kvcnltic
Celebrated the lSvenf.
Judging from the attendance aud tho in
terest displayed at the meetltiii of Camp 188,
1. O. S. of A., last evening, the organisation
lias taken a new lease of life and much atlec
tlvo work in behalf of the prlnolples of the
order is confidently expected In the future.
Tho occasion was tho celebration of the tenth
anniversary of the camp, and their lodge
room was crowded. Eepresentatives from
Qllbertou, Kingtown, Wm. Penn, Pottsville
and the threo looal camps were present in
large members.
To say tho event was eclobrated In royal
stylo is putting it mildly, and everybody en
joyed themselves. A prominent feature and
one that marks tho progressive spirit of the
members of tho camp, was the application of
thirty now mcmbors, twenty-eight of whom
wore initiated last evening. Tho unwritten
work was exemplified by tho degree team
from Camp 835, of Wm. Penn. This Im
pressive and beautiful ceremony was never
better presented, and thoso who took part
woro the recipients of many congratulatory
remarks. Tho degree team did its work
well.
This was followed by an entertainment in
which E. Delcamp made the openingaddrcss,
followed by a solo by James Patterson.
Recitations were given by Louis Lehe, Jr.,
John n. Danks, Robort Pcol and Harry
Gable. Addresses were made by S. G. M.
Hollopetor, Esq., aud M. E. Zimmerman, of
Kingtown, the latter a district president.
Refreshments and cigars wore served In
abundance. After the regular entertainment
speeches wero made by visiting members,
adding to the enjoyment of the occasion.
.Last night will long bo remembered as a
most pleasant one in tho history of tho camp.

ways able to pay his modest rent and meal

owing to his steadily fiallng In health. The
last seen of him alive was last Friday night
at the oyster house across the way where ho
ordered meal and tendered a two dollar bill
in payment for same, remarking that he
would soon havo to go to some hospital, as he
felt himself gruwlng weaker every day.

political machines in Philadelphia and
Pittsburg. The citizens in both places
are in a state of revolt, It should be
clearly understood, however, that they
are not fighting the Republican party in
these municipalities, but that the con
tests are directed against the arrogant
bosses that have made the party ma
chinery offensive to thousands of loyal
Republicans. The people admire lead
ership, and will follow a brainy, ag
gressive leader who has the Interests of
the state and the party at heart, but
they will not submit to the dictation
of self appointed political masters who
are in politics solely for personal profit
and self aggrandizement.
The fight in Philadelphia is partic
ularly interesting. In spite of the
stories that have been circulated con
cerning a deal between Senator Quay
and David Martin, nearly all of the
warm political supporters of the United
States senator are now engaged in a
lively fight which has for its main ob
ject the dethronement of David Mar
tin as the political boss and master of
the Republican party of the Quaker
City. Mr. Martin defiantly declares
that he will renominate and elect his
brother-in-law,Villlam J. Roney, as re
ceiver of taxes. Senator Durham and
more than half of the active party
leaders in Philadelphia have served no
tice upon Mr. Martin that he will do no
such thing. United States Senator Pen
rose has come out in a publio Interview,
In which he declareB his intention of
supporting Senator Durham. He adds.
that If it is necessary he will take the
stump in favor of the Durham candi
date for receiver of taxes. The whole
affair Is likely to have a healthy ef
fect upon the politics of Philadelphia,
and It may be the means of averting
worse troubles in the future.

"These Indictments have been lg.

cannot surprise you,
his actual Republican vottl 40,000 and
his Democratic vote 58,000. I So we can
readily see how this vote Iwas manu
factured. There was Demfioratlc dis
gust at the Reading con veal Jon and its
Chicago platform, and tntlre was di
rection from some quartur to Dem
ocrats to swell the swallowl vote, so as
to help the Democratic fparty next
year. Returns like these arlS) just a lit
tle tnm, not thick enough for a Re
publican revolution next yttt&r or any
other year. '
An Independent vote oijjttlng from
both parties In anything Ilk equal pro
portions cannot harm the Republican
party. Nevertheless, It biMiooves the
Republican party to see to ill that there

shall be a fair contest anjjl that the

that it was not Intended that these
complaints should he tried. A witness
deemed by the district attorney to be
material, whose name has been wide
ly published In connection with the
cases aB having knowledge most Im
portant, has not been brought here.
You were in consultation with him last
week. His name does not now appear
on any one of these subpoenas, all of
which have been carefully prepared by
one of your personal counsel not now
here to require the attendance of wit
nesses from many portions of the state,
and the production of papers and tel
egrams of various kinds. It does not
seem that this could be accidental, be
cause when these subpoenas came Into
the hands of the special district attor
ney he noticed the ommision at once,
and requested to be informed where the
missing witness could be served.
"This information, he asserts, was re
fused. The summary writ of the court
was unable to reach him. You caused
a petition to be presented here In your
own name, asking for the dismissal of
the special district attorney. You want
ed the trial postponed, while his pur
pose was tfr prosecute it, its he was ap
pointed to do.
"May it not be reasonably assumed
that the law was Invoked here in an
attempt to stay Its arm In another ju
risdiction, and that the court was to be
made an agency in feeding a controver
sy which has filled the atmosphere of
the commonwealth with the rank odor
of Us political scandals?"
The sentiment In favor of Colonel
William A. Stone, of Allegheny, as the
Republican candidate for governor next
year seems to be growing stronger
every day. Hie friends in Pittsburg
have been very active, and as a result
of this his candldaoy is assuming first
class shape Reports from different
sections of the state Indicate a strong
following, especially among the old sol
diers and the members of labor or
ganisations, who heartily favor the
congressman because of his attitude
upon the immigration question. Private
letters and telegrams from Chaster
county Indicate that Mr. Storie la iis,r
ticularly strung In that quarter, and
that his prospects for winning dele
gates to tho state convention are un
usually good. In this connection U
might tie stated that the stronger Colo
nel tone's candidacy becomes the
weaker does the Independent sentiment
appear In comparison. It is believed
that the nomination ot a olean, aggres
slve man tike Colonel Stone will bave
the enect oi nipping any possible Inde
pendent movement tn the bud. The
Philadelphia Inquirer, which has paid
pome attention to this subjeot, says,
that Dr. Swallow and other independ.
ent candidates can get very little com
fort out of the election figures. The
official returns are at hand. While
riwallow polled 118,98s votes, Beacom
whom he ran against for state treas
urer, polled 872,448. and. Brown, the
Democrat, 242,731. Beacom had a ma
jority over Brown of 129,117, or more
i than 10.000 more than Dr. Swallow's
