CHANGES in ALLEGHENY COUNTY,
The changes inPennsylvaF1ia against
Mr.. Clay, as compared with the contest
of 1910, literally overwhelm tire pros
poets Of whiggey. There is scarcely
a county in the State in which defec-
tons from the Clay party may not be
counted by the gross. When it is re-
membered that Gen. Harrison's major
ity in the State was barely 343, il IS
easily discovered that Mr.. Clay has no
chance ofcarrying it whatever. There
is not county in the State, in which
this trihing majority will not be swept
away by the Polk tornado. No where
however are the changes more numer-
Gus than in the county Of Allegheny
Here the Harrison majority in 1910
was over 5000 will noao barely ex-
coed 900 In proof Of this, the Pitts
burg Post Of Friday names the follow
ing distinguished citizens, who were
all active and leading Harrison men in
1910, but are now every one the bitter
and Incorporating opponents OF
Mr.. Clay. They comprise the very
elite of the old Wing and Anti-mason-
ic parties in that county:
/. Neville B. Craig, Esq, long
known as an able Anti-masonic editor
elected year before last to the State
Legislature, and recently the anti-ma-
sonic candidate for Congress.
2. Dr.William Elder, late Recorder
of Allegheny county, and an active
whip stump speaker in 1910.
3. Alfred Sutton, Esq, late Prothdn-
otary of Allegheny county, and man
of extensive political influence.
4. Major Hay, Mayor of the city.
5. William f. Austin, an especial
favorite with his party, and a good
speaker.
6. William Larimer, jr., another ac-
tive Harrisonite, in the great campaign
of 1910.

the Spirit of Liberty, and late Post
master of Allegheny city.
8. David Gilleland, Esq, former

s. Russell Errett, Esq, formerly the
standing Secretary Of federal county
conventions.
10. John Hammer, Esq, formerly

any other whigin the county.
IL. DR.. VIM. A. Penniman,. former
whig member ofthe State Legislature.
p. Hon. w. w. Irwin, elected by
the Wings to Congress in 1910 by
one ofthe largest majoritlts ever given
in that county.
10. H. L.. Bollman, Esq, leading
Harrisonite.
IA. Andrew Watson, Esq, DO.
Is. Samuel w. Black, Esq, one of
the most ready and reliable whig stump
speakers in 1910.
All these gentlemen were leading
and active Harrison men in 1870
ALL ARE NOW ZEALOUSLY
OPPOSING THE ELECTION OF
HENRY CLAY.
-e1s@
Whig Spuolls,-The editor Of the
"Mercer Luminary," an old and very
Influential whig paper, published in
Mercer county, in the western part OF
Pennsylvania, defines his position thus
since the nomination Of Henry Clay.
1t is only the "beginning of the end"
of these troubles.
"TO OUR PATRONS.
"The official nomination of Mr..
Clay as the candidate ofthe wing par
ty for President of the United States
requires us to state through our columns
what is known to most, if not all, OF
our readers, that we cannot support
and advocate his election. At present
we merely define our position, and IN
our next number will give the reasons
which have induced us to assume 1t.
