Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1881-11-02


4 committees, formed bastard ticket tha
cannot be SO combined under The laws fo
the government of either the Republican o.
iienocratic rar.iesy and after all that the
want 10 set themselves ND to cIsim tbs, y,
man is Republican that does not suppor
fheir work, just as they wanted to cram i
down the throsts of the people of Juniata
that no man that voted for Wellinptor
Smith is Republican. 1t is a shame TO,
'uo.sta that men dare publicly proclaim
SUCH work as that. They are now doing
their best to have it appear that no Repub
iican will dare to oppose their bastard fusion
Such threats are an insult to Republicans
VINO are the men that make theml Take
taeir measure. Who are the men that
stand on the streets of Miffiiutown and nro.
claim such stuff as that3 You may put
your hand On every one of them. When
men make an indirect and improper cam
paign in matters of state or church they
always fall short of their object just as
quickly as the people see the character OF
the work that is being done. While the
hounders were pointing at their betters and
saying, he is boss-ridden man, n,achine
man, and using other unmanly expressions,
they were sosslng other people, and put
ting machine in order to be run by Them
selves, and the s.boss'' and ssmachine'' and
other slanderous words, were only SO many
blinds TO screen themselves behind. How
much political or other consistency is there
in the men that shout s,ich things against
others, and then contrive to gather up all
they can for their own purposes I How
much consistency is there in a set Of men
that condemn men for not being straight
Republicans or Democrats, and then delib-
erately plan to secure all the Republicans
and Democrats they can under bastard
fusion, something that is neither sshesh, fish
or fowl" That is what the leaders in the
bounding of the Smith Republicans have
been doing. They began it long before the
primary elections of either party were
held. A set of men, in their interest, with
out credentials, or authority from either
party, Te.e sent or called to Bloc nHeld,
Perry county, to initiate the movement on
the day that the Republican county con-
vent,on convened there. The men from Ju-
niata, though they had no credentials from
any political body in this county, pledged a
large Republican and Democratic vote for
Judge Junkin. The Judge had them haul
ed to and from the railroad in his carriage.
That was machine work of the first order.
1t did not even have the support of rec
ommendation of convention with creden-
tials; it was tie work Of the men that have
been bounding the Republicans that voted for |
Wellington Smith. 1t was the work Of the /
very men that have been denounc;ng boss |
and machine work. If one dare to de- |
nounce the work Of the men that were reg
ularly elected school directors as machine |
work, when they acted in their regular ca
pacIty under the law of the State as direc-
tors in a lawfully-called convention, by what
name can the work of selfconstituted
committee, or a committee inspired by two
or three indi, iduals, without cred entails
from any body of Republicans or Demo-
Gratis, go to a neighboring county and con-
suit and pledge, as was done at Bloomfield,
be called That work put Judge Junkin's
election beyond the line of possibility.
It is not known that Jndgs Junkin ever
helped in the denunciation of the Repubii-
cans that voted as they deemed right last
May, but the fact that he had taken the men
from this county that are under the infiu-
ence Of the set of men that are in the fore
front Of the bounding as pillars TO rest his
case on. sealed his defeat. The men that
represented Juniata county
at Bloomfield were, Captain Mcclellan,
John Gsrman, Democrat, VIM.
NJ. Allison. The people of Juniata county,
of party, know whether they
are the pillars that Judge should set bis
judicial throne on. The people of Juniata
knew whether they are the quality of men
that should stand close up to the judicial
throne. They were in the interest of the
lASu bGNO orCh duuclus tHO GcpuUu- | .
cans for voting for Smith, and then in the
ace of 1t all they had the effrontery to go /,
without authority and promise the support
of both Republicans and Democrats with
whom they had not consulted. There never ,
IAN be a brighter Illustration of machine
work than that; and when the Judge be- 4,
;ame party to it, if not the head of it, | ,
he committed a mistake, q grave mistake, ,
Utmost as great as to allow his name to be ,
ised on Speculative Insurance circulars, as ,
eference. What would Judge Pearson
md other eminent turists say about judge ,
hat permitted his name to be published on l
speculative insurance circulars as reference . ,
Would they advocate the reelection of '
uch judge1 The speculative insurance =
for private citizens is not consider ;
d BY the public as the highest business in
he world it is lawful business. but it r
, considered the kind of a business that
Judge should not touch by way Of {
or otherwise. The most .
articular men have been careful to not +
IDENTIFY themselves with such compa- !
les. Governor Hoyt, when he discovered Z
hat his name vas used as reference, speed :
" took measures to inform the public that 4
he use of his name was without his au- Il
hority. Judge Junkin would have done =
fnself credit had be done as Governor 4
Ieyt did. Perhaps be is unacquainted Il
18th the fact that his name has been used T
S a reference. Your correspondent does .
ot know that the Judge is partner in n
be speculative insurance companies, but he r.
nows, as do the public or part of the pub. e
c to a certainty, that his name has been g
sed as a reference on speculative insurance 7
ircuiars as reference. Amidst all these r.
oubtfal and Questionable operations, are h
he Republicans that have been bounded
be past six months, and other honest Re- 6
u ublicans and Democrats, to be abused and "
