and they ficely admit that theiu is an
apathy among the patty voters that will re
quire much etlort on tho part of the party
organization to overcome if success is to
crown our dibits this fall. Tho same state
of affairs exists among the rank and lllu of
tho Democracy, and the indications are
tlioro will bo a largo stay-at-humo vote that
will not bo recorded this fall. Which party
will suffer most can only bo surmised.
imt'MM, thi: dictatou.
Up to tho present time no ouo has an
nounced himself as n candidato for Congress
against tlio present member of Congress, and
.Mr. Bruiiim will probably have no opposition
in tho convention. Ho has taken advantage
of this state of affairs and has sot himself
up as tho great dictator and issued orders to
his henchmen and followers that at least
three of tho candidates whoso names will go
beforo tho convention must ho defeated,
either by fair or foul means. These 111011 aio
Judge Koch, Controller Snyder and Poor
Director Sliddleton. Each of these gcutlr
mon have strong personal following, have
mado ablo and eflicient ofllcials, ami the first
named two aro gubernatorial appointees.
It is immaterial to lrumm how popular
they are, or whotber or not they will add
strength to tbo ticket they must bo defeated,
if the Ilriimin strength In tho convention
can do it. The latter's object is very plain
to thoso who have observed the drift of poli.
tlcal ovents in this county for tho past two
years. Sir. Urunim wants to control tho
party organization in this county ; that is
the selection of the county chairman, secre
taries and exocutivo committee, and in order
to do so ho must securo tho nomination of
candidates who are weak-kneed enough to
bow to his dictation. Tbo candidates nom
inated by tho party conventions moot and
select u county chalrmau and secretaries, and
the chairman iu turn selects tho executive
committee Sir. Brumm has beon greatly
embarrassed during the past two years be
causo tbo atiti-llrumm faction controlled
THE PARTY OnOANIZATIO.V,
and to avoid further humiliation in that re
spect tho Dictator proposes to namo a ticket
of his own if the party voters will conccdo
him that privilege. True, a result of that
kind will pleaso our Democratic friends, bo
causo they fully realize that such a ticket
cannot win. It will be bad enough with
Brumm (for whom hundreds of Republicans
will not voto) at the head of the ticket, but
whun ho dictates who shall go on tho ticket
with him, then thero will be trouble in No
vember. The opposition to Judge Koch will not be
sulliclcnt to secure his defeat for re-nomination,
although Biumm and his pot candidate
for this positlou, David C. Ifeuning, Fsq., are
making tlio contest from a partisan.
in direct opposition to the position of
me party tnat 115s repeatedly declared in
favor of a non-partisan Judiciary, and which
demands at the hands of the convention an
endorsement of the Governor's appointment.
If politics is to bo eliminated from tho
Judiciary Sir. Brumm should cease his
scramble to havo a Judge of his own.
TUK CONTliOLI.KIISlIIP.
One of the prettiest lights taat has marked
tho present contest for a place 011 thu ticket
Is that between tho candidates for Controller.
Tho men sceklug that honor aro tho present
courteous and able incumbent, Charles A.
Snydor, of Pottsvillo ; Charlos K. Iierger, of
Crcssona ; J. . hdwards, of Ashland, and
Charles F. Schindol, of Tamaqua. Tho last
named geiitlcmau was induced to become a
candidato by Brumm, and since then the
Congressman has deserted him, aud now
urges his friends to support Edwards, not
withstanding ouother gentleman by that
name, S. II. Edwards, Esq., will bo nominated
for District Attorney without opposition
For this reason it Is said Brumm will drop
tho Ashland man aud support his old-time
lieutenant, Charlie Berger. It is now pre
dicted, however, that Snyder will bo nomin
ated with practically 110 opposition. Tbo
red-hcadod and hopeful Charlos has been
doing somo eflectivo work north of tho
mountain this week aud wherever ho goes ho
has the happy faculty of making friends.
Ho is outspoken aud truthful, and his frank
and courteous manner, J am told by tho
party workers in that section, has won him
many supporters who will come down huie
booming his candidacy. Snyder is certainly
the strongest candidato tho Republicans can
nominate, from tho material at hand.

In conversation with S. G. Sliddlotou, tho
president of the Board of Poor Directors, be
informs mo that his ro-uomtnatiou is assured
beyond tho shadow of doubt. "And I will
prove tbo exception to tho rule," added he,
"that a member of tho Board can succeed

tho other candidates aro not allowing any
grass to grow undor thoir feet. William
Cartor, ol St. Clair, whoso location is against
him, Is tho most active among Sir. Middle
ton's opponents. Tbo Losch faction are said
to favor tho ailberton mail and will throw
their strength to htm iu the convention.
Tho contest for Coroner, strango to say, is

his life, and if what I hear Is truo he needs

contest solely. If I were asked to pick the
leaders I would name theso : W. II. Jones,

If your readers will allow me to look into

It was tho Intention of tho quartette to
leave Pottsvillo at 5:20 p. 111., but by tele
graphic communication their friends bcie
succeeded in delaying the dcpartuie to allow
time for the arrangement of a recoption.
When tbo "boys" did arrive they wero
welcomed at the Penna. It. It. station by
several hundred citizens, tbo Grant ILind and
tho Patriotic Drum Corps.
As tho train pulled into the station the
hand played "My Country 'Tls of Tbeo" and
tbo throng of several hundred peoplo
swarmed towaids tho platform to welcome
aim cinlirare their representatives of the
sentiment.
It was several minutes beforo tho returning
soldiers could bo wedged lo theii position iu
the lino uf parade. Sir. John Roberts had
placed a carriage at their disposal, but they
preferred to walk, and they wore accorded a
post of honor surrounded by the following
eommittcoof citizens : Slessrs. David .Morgan,

Thomas Dove, Jr., W. (I. Gregory, SI. D.

William Stein, Hon. Patrick Corny, Robert

The Grant Band and Patriotic Drum Corps
alternated in furnishing tho music 011 tlio
march to Bobbins' opora hotiso, which bad
been thrown open for the reception by Sir.
D. It. Lowls. A great crowd swelled into tlio
hall and it was with difficulty that spaco was
leserved upon tho stage for tho activo parti
cipants in tbo coromonics. It seemed that
everybody in thu hall wanted to shako hand
wuii too uoys irom rorto liico," and not a
small number succeeded iu gaining thoir
point.
Finally order was testorcd and Sir. Thomas
lialrd callou tho meeting to ordor. Sir,
William Stein then moved that Sir. D.ivid
.lutjiaii, n miuiuu 01 inoijivii war, act as
cnairman ol tlio meeting and tbo motion
was carried by cheers.instead of tlio usual ex
pressions of approbation. Sir. Morgan then
made a few appropriate remarks and introd
uced tho returned soldiers to tho vast amllcnc ,
naming them as they stepped towards the
footliglits. Tho audienco enthusiastically
cheered and applauded as each namo was
mentioned, and it was ovideut that tho oc
casion was the happiest, if not tho most im
pressive, of the life of tho respective guests.
Borough Solicitor SI. SI. Burko was uext
introduced and mado a briof, but eloquent
address. Ho was enthusiastically received
and responded gracefully by saying Unit
there were none iu tlio hall more entitled to
apphuso than tho heroes on tho stage who
hid just retnrned from Porto Rico, (ireat
applause followed and Sir. Burko took up tlio
keynote. Ho said: "Tho people of this
country who are 111 want of evidence of
tlie lact that the American heart is always
responsive to the American soldier, you can
find it hero this ovening.in tho town of Shen
andoah. Tlio boys who havo returned to
our midsl; to-night from a southoru climate,
sunburned by a tropical sun. aro too thed
aud weary to listen to a lengthy address ; but
1 oesno 10 say iur thorn tliat they nover felt
oeucr man iney teol to-night In boing among
tnelr old triends, noighbors, and their
i.imiues. Although tho number of volunteers
in our midst is small, yet tho soldior-llko
chivalry they reproscnt amounts to
a great deal. Wo sent from our
little town only a few of those who
havo tho honor and high privilege of being
sent to tlio island of Porto Itico ; and, let us
hopo, that tho example set by theso young
men, of whom wo feel so proud to-night,
may have tbo effect that tho peoplo not only
of this towu, but of all the county may in
tho future, when this land is in danger ,.r
other nations when it is attacked, emulate
their oxamplo and go to tlio front in defense
01 their country as theso young men did."
As tho applause following Sir. Burke's ad
dress subsided soniobody In tho audienco
suggested that tlnoo cheers bo givon for John
Beisol, tho young man of town who served
with Roosevelt's Rough Riders, and who is
nuwat Sloutatik Point, L. I., to bo mustered
out. Tlioro was a hearty rosponso to the
suggestion, after which Hon. SI. P. Fowler
and Sir. J. J. Franey wero Introduced aud
made short and very appropriate addresses.
Tho latter paid a tribute to tho valor and
patriotism of tbo returned soldiers and said
tlie promptness with which they had 10
sponded to their country's cull showed they
camo from good stock.
Chairman David Slorgan aunouueed that
tbo volunteers wero not homo to stay, but
had returned only on a 00-day furlough. Ilo
then suggested that tho meeting adjuurn, as
tlio soldiers wero much iu need of rest and it
would bo bettor to allow them to retire to
their homos than to prolong tho meeting. An
adjournment followed amid groat cheering,
liand-shakiug and music by tho band and
drum corps, but it was somo tinio beforo tho
soldiers succeeded iu reaching tho seclusion
of their homes, as hundrcdsof peoplo insisted
upon oxtondiug greetings without waiting
for to-day. The soldiers appreciated tho
welcome extended theiu aud retired for tho
night satisfied that for once at least they
wero first iu tho hearts of their townsmen.

GEN. MILES'
STATEMENT
Commander of the Forces
Reviews the Late War.
Reported Interviews With Him
Wore Substantially Correct.
EIIS WORK AT SANTIAGO DE CUBA.
He Was Formally Authorized to Accept the
Surrender of General Toral's Forces, But
This He "Generously Declined to Do,
Leaving All of the Honor to His Next in
Rank, General Shatter" His Request
That Wisconsin Soldiers Be Allowed to
Visit New York Was Snubbed.
New York, Sept. 8. The United
States transport Obdum, liuvlns on
board Major General Nelson .A. Jllles
and Ilia BtafT, Major Grecnleaf, Cap
tain Whitney, tho Second regiment of
Wisconsin volunteers, consisting of 30
officers and S00 men, and the hospital
corps, from Porto Itico, arrived here
yesterday. Mrs. Miles, son and
duuKhter were also on board the trans
port, which sailed from Ponce on Sept.
1. The surgeon In charge reported all
well on board and no Blckness or deaths
during the voyage.
General Miles admitted to a reporter
who interviewed him the substantial
accuracy of the statements attributed
to htm by the Kansas City Star's cor
respondent at Ponce, Porto Ulco.
"There are," Generul Miles said, "a
few minor Inaccuracies In the publish
ed reports, such as usually occur In
such Intervlows, but they are unlm
pottant. "It is true that I requested that my
troops In Porto Rico, on their return
home, should be allowed to camp some
where New York, preferably Brook
lyn Heights, Fort Wndsworth or Gov
ernor's Island; and I also requested of
the war department that the troops be
allowed to march through New York
city. I never Intended to parade my
self, as I shall go to Washington In a
few days, and would not be here at
the time of tho contemplated parade.
"1 asked that the Wisconsin regi
ment aboard the Obdatn be permitted
to stay In this vicinity for a day or two
to give them a chance to see the city.
It would do no harm to let those west
ern boys get a glimpse of New York.
Surely they merit It. Many of them, I
think, have never seen the city, and
perhaps will never havo another op
portunity to see It.
"To my first request I have received
no reply. To my second request I re
ceived a reply ordering the Wisconsin
boys hnme forthwith."
A long statement emnnatlng from
General Miles was given to the re
porters on board of tho Obdam. It is
In the form of a letter, In which Gen
eral Miles Is mentioned In the third
person, and Is In substance as follows!
"In the first place, let mo say that
tho war hns closed after being con
ducted largely as General Miles stated
publicly at the beginning of the war
that It would be. The statement was
publicly made, and a general order was
Issued by him, as commandor of the
American army. In which the plan that
he has striven to pursue was fore
shadowed, namely, seeking to accom
plish results with the least possible loss
of life. In an Interview In tho latter
part of May he said: 'Tho United
States government Is too stronu, too
great and too powerful to oommlt any
foolish act In conm-rllon with tho pro
posed Invasion of Cuba. No ofllcer
Is fit to command troops who, from any
motives whatever, would needlessly
risk the life of a single soldier, olther
from disease or the bullets of tha
enemy. I have never sacrificed tho
lives of men under my command, and
do not propose to subject them to any
unnecessary risks In tho present com'
palgn,'
Tho statement then gives General
Miles' order to tho army, lssuoa at an
early date, and proceeds:
"Tho principles thus enunciated have
been zealously observed from the first.
Owing to tho fact that the season for
campaigning In Cuba had been ex
hausted In debates and delay In con
gress, and In necessary preparations,
General Miles was opposed to rushing
an 111 prepared, undisciplined and un
equipped army In a movement against
the capital of Cuba, defended by 100,
000 trained Spanish troops, and in this
position he stood practically alono for
several weeks. Havana, Matanras,
Santiago and a few other points were
down on his military map as hotbtds
of disease, destructive to uu army, and
places to be avoided, especially during
tho sickly season.
"When finally called upon to submit
n plan of campaign General Miles did
so, and put it In writing. In substance
he took tho stund, first, that every ef
fort should bo made to equip tha Cu
bans nml thornby enable them to hnr
rass the Spanish forces. The cry of
on to Havana' should be encouraged,
but when the transports, loaded with
troops, wore out of sight of land they
should sail as straight as steam power
could boar them to tho gate of the An
tilles and tho key of the whole position,
Torto Itico; then, having seized and 00
cupled that Island, a movement to
Cuba was to follow by means of a
strong cavalry foice, which wus to be
organized und equipped by August or
September. He contemplated that 20,
000 cavalry thrown to the center of
Cuba, cutting the Spanish forces In two
and moving west to Havana, by the
time the rainy season wus over, and It
would be possible to manoeuver an
army, wo could move against that city
a woll organized, well equipped and
well disciplined army and complete the
capture of tho Spanish forces.
"The enclosure of Cervora's fleet In
the harbor of Santiago changed the
conditions and made It necessary ta
move a mllltury force to that point.

THE
Money Question !
Here it's a question of how
much or how little. No matter
how much coin you have, you'll
find it has more purchasing power
with us than elsewhere. It is not
because your dollars contain more
metal for us, but because we are
satisfied with smaller tolls. II we
can't give you a fair equivalent we
don't want your money.
