En-. HERALD.-There are Il number of per
SONS travelling through the country ostensi-
biy on business, but not of the kind they
profess, who, after talking fiatteringly of the
resources of the country the certainty of
oil, the large deposits of ore and coal and
probability Of large quantities of the pre-
cious metals just little beneath the sur
face, they suddenly breach the subject of
politics, and if they find themselves in the
presence of a Republican they give lond
expressions of their faith in the great prin-
ciples Of the party, but before they leave
they also express their deep regret that the
once good old party has become boss-ridden.
and that change has become necessary in
order 10 save the party from overthrow, and
advise him to vote for Stewart. the indie
pendent candidate for Governor. in order TO
save it. II they find themselves in the pres
ence OF Democrat they advise him to stick
10 his party, as it is sure 70 win this time
These fellows are Democrats and never vo-
ted the Republican ticket, and are now try
ing to get Republicans to vote for Stewart
to defeat Beaver and elect Pattison. The
Independents are following closely in the
wake of the Democracy in their methods of
deception, and the deyeTsdale Coa,merciaI
makes 4 good exhibition of itself by pub
fishing the name of Jacob Sterner, of Ad-
olson township, a. 4 delegate and commit
teeman 70 the Independent convention
held at Somerset on the 18th inst. Mr..
Sterner is genuine Republican and expects
10 remain such. He never votes for men
who are not Republicans Mr.. ;. was, it is
true, defeated in obtaining the nomination
for the office of Commissioner, but this does
not affect his loyalty to the Republican
party. Why should it? When he looks into
the independent camp he finds those who
were mostly instrumental in his defeat mus
tering there and are now only irving to
draw him in that they may stab him the
deeper. Mr.. 5. is not sore head Addison
Republicans are all solid.
The announcement Of the name Of Jehu
/ Rush, of Lower Turkeyfoot township. as a
committeeman was a surprise to all Mr..
Rash is too good a Republican to be SIAN
dered in that way, aud it is doing him a
/ great injustice 10 place him in such false
position before the public Mr.. r. is a man
I of principle, and don't you never forget it,
! He has three sons, all OF whom are true Re
Publicans and will vote the ticket straight
There don't seem to be any Independents
! in Addison, Lower Turkeyfoot and Crsina,
: and TO have no delegates or committeeman
from these election precincts would display
weakness hard to explain away. There
fore, the names of Sterner and Rush were
used doubtless thinking that they would be
passive and make no reply.
The Meyersdale Commercials pimp scour-
ed this section Of the country over in search
of Independents to hold primary elections,
but found none either in Addison and Low
er Turkeyfoot townships or in the town OF
! Ursina lie spent several days in Ursina,
but finally left in disgust, shaking the dust
from his lol, as he went Come again.
II is said 10 have been little amusing to
see the selfimpoHart ex-Judge Musselman
prancing up and down the streets of Som
eis"t in search Of Rev. j. l.. W Seibcrt
who = short time before had left the con-
ventiun in disgust 20 inform him Of his
nomination for empty honors. He doubt
less believes in the Juvenile idea Of sprink-
Ing salt. IIowabout the preacher
