peace. Senator Wallace, like every
other Democrat in the state will
give his hearty support and large
influence to the election Of the
Democratic state ticket first by assist
ing in the thorough and effective organ
ization of the party and then in the un-
wavering and steady assault upon the
lines of the enemy, which will he made
when the party has been thoroughly
drilled and is ready fo- action. .
RAwLE used to think Cameron's politics
"damnable" He may get back to that
opinion.
CANDIDATE RAwLE was about right
when he told Cameron his power must
come to an end, it was only question of
time. The time and the end are at hand.
WHY don't Beaver put on his 3OG medal
and display il when he displays.himself ?
He must he either proud of it or ashamed
of it. Whichever he is why don't he say
so like an honest and courageous man?
TIE Democratic press of the state and
many of the Republican organs commend
Pattison's letter of acceptance as a model
of good sense, and recommend Beaver and
Cooper to take pattern.
some of the most prominent Republi-
cans in Lock Haven are opposing General
Beavers election. Among these are John
w. Harris, late postmaster :. w. Allison
White, lawyer; John B. Lesher, halter ;
George Weymouth, J. d. Stratton, A. j.
Schuyler, Samuel Marsh, c.. Lingle, and
many others.

In "a postscript to private letter work.
ingman at Howard, Center county, writes
The Bellefonte WdtcAman as follows !:
Though I Aaoe al'oays been u Republican
can say that no better man than S. NJ.
Clark lives in the state. We were raised
side by side, and we stood during our early
school boy days, shoulder to shoulder. He
went to the college from our academy and
to my fathers trade, and can say that 1
have an admiration for Clark as compan-
ion, as lawyer, as a neighbor, and as a
man that will compel me to throw politics
aside and vote for him. 1 do hope he
and Pattison will be both clected.''
| PATTIsoN was not present in Harrisburg
at the convention which nominated him /;
he never left his Office in Philadelphia, nor
was he for q moment upset or distracted by
his nomination. Such self possession in a
young man not yet 80 years of age, and
nominated for the highest Office in the gif,
of the people of great state, is certainly
remarkable, and his letter marks an epoch
in the history of politics in Pennsylvania.
The genius of common sense is the secret
to success in business, and its infusion into
the politics of Pennsylvania is what is
needed to redeem the commonwealth from
misrule, extravaganza and corruption.
A NUMBER of the Stalwart organs seem
to be terribly exercised over the fact thai
Pattison was born in Maryland, and did
not come into Pennsylvania until hc had
arrived at the mature age of six. They
have been relieved somewhat by the dis.
covery that Chairman Cooper was born in
Ohio, and that Davies, the Republican can
didate for lieutenant-governor, was born in
Wales. And what will they say now that
it is discovered that the trustees of ''The
Pennsylvania State College" have just
gone to New Jersey for president, to re-
deem that institution, if possible, from the
condition to which 1t has been reduced
under the management and control of Gen.
James A. Beaver, president of the trustees.
With half a million dollars endowment,
spending $4,000 of the states money
every year, it is a failure, and has now
only one student pursuing full agricul-
tural course.
THE Philadelphia Press, disposed to he a
little captious, remarks: Men don't take
farm hand for his good looks. He must
be able to tell what he can do, whether he
understands what is wanted of him and
the like. How much more, then, is it ne
cessary for the applicant for the post of
governor to give some sort of credentials
1t is true that Mr.. Pattison's last or pres
sent boss gives him flattering character,
&C." Sensible men won't generally take a
farm hand because he "can tell what he
can do" They want him to show what he
can do. Mr.. Pattison's record speaks
much more forcibly than he could speak
for himself. The record of reduction of
q million and quarter dollars per year in
the debt of Philadelphia, as much in the
department expenses, and the cutting
down of the tax rate from $2.25 to $1.9O,
speak much more forcibly for Pattison
than he could speak in columns of public
letters. He finds his ''credentials'' in the
fact that over 80, 1000 Philadelphia Repub.
licans voted for him after four years ex-
perience with him as city controller. His
''bOss" is the best interests of the whole
people. He has rendered them such SER
vice that thew now call unon him tn ro I'M
