THE Meyersdale Commerciat has
finally trken the plunge, and last
week placed the Independent ticket
at the head of its columns.
We raise our hat with high regard
for itsspunk, although we ecannotcom-
mend its discretion. After rattling
around in the Republican ranks,
and doing its best for the last year
or two to disrupt the party, its edi-
tor has assumed a position from
which one short step more will land
him in the place from whence he
came-the bosom of the Democratic
party.
Ever since it laid aside its pro-
fessed neutrality, and assumed the
garb of Republicanism, the principal
mission of the Commrsi0l has been
10 stir up strife in the party. It has
been tho mouth-piece of all the dis
organizers within our ranks and the
vehicle of constant abuse and de-
traction of those whom Is owners
and managers disliked or feared.

The long threatened strike among
the laborers in the iron mills
throughout the country has COM
menced. All the mills at Pitts
burgh were compelled TO suspend
on the 1st inst. Over 100000 men
have quit work in the mills at that
city and other points west of it, and
as there are three persons at least
dependent upon the labor of each OF
these men, the large Of amount suf-
fering among these people the COM

this stoppage of the iron mills will

THERE is not Democratic paper
in this State, or out of it. that is not
doing its level best to swell the In
dependent hullabaloo. and to aid
ard encourage the. disorganizers.
The only hope the Democrats have
of carrying the State is through Re-
publican divisions. They know
that while Republicans are united
there is no hope for them, and Of
course they will furnish the material
aid to keep the Independent ma
chine in motion.

THERE is not an Independent in

! FRAUD. similar to the 9

A FRAUD, similar to the "Morey
Chinese letter forgery" which was
published under Mr.. Garfield's sig
nature during the last Presidential
campaign, was attempted against
Senator Cameron last week. Mr..
Cameron was in Philadelphia, and
invited number of the leading Re
publican manufacturers, ship build
ers and others engaged in industrial
pursuits to meet him and talk over
the political situation. To them he
pointed out the necessity to their
interests of a united party in the
coming campaign, because if through
Republican divisions the State was
lost, and the Democrats came into
power and succeeded in securing a
majority in the next Congress, the
tariff would be endangered, and if
protection to their industries was
removed they would personally be
heavy losers. Mr.. Cameron added
that his interests and theirs were
Identical, and he supposed that if
they could stand it. he could. The
gentlemen present agreed in Mr..
Cameron's views. and pledged them
selves to use their best efforts for
the election of General Beaver and
the Republican ticket.
The next day the Press and two or
three other bitter anti-Cameron pa
pers, in publishing an account of
the meeting, charged that Mr.. Cam
eron had got mad and raved and
swore and threatened that if these
manufacturers did not stand by
him and assist his reelection, he
would vote against the tariff and do
all he could the balance of his term
to destroy protection. This state
ment was Of course telegraphed all
over the country. 1t was nuts for

The Independents have been loud


The Independents have been loud
IL claiming that their convention at
Philadelphia represented a large
majority of the Republican voters,
while the Harrisburg convention
that nominated General Beaver, rep
resented only the bosses. To test
their honesty, and for the further
purpose Of having but one ticket
against the Democrats in the field,
Senator Cooper, Chairman of the
Republican State Committee, made
the following proposition:
"If the independent State Committee and
the candidates on that ticket" said Mr..
Cooper, believe that their choice fairly
represents the majority of the Republicans
of the State, Istand ready to make this prop
osition That will endeavor to get the
State Committee and candidates of the Re-
publican party to agree to submit the two
tickets TO a popular vote OF all the Republic
cans Of the State--all who voted for Garfield
and if that headed by General Beaver
does not receive the majority of the coun-
ties, or il they wish three-fourths of all
the counties of the State or if the Rspubli-
can candidates do not receive q popular
majority throughout the State; or if the
Independents desire such a test, two, or
three, OF four, or even five votes TO their
one-the Regular ticket shall give place to
the Independent, and the latter receive the
united vote of the party. ] think our oan-
didates are the choice of the majority of the
Republicans and that they will do this. If /
were General Beaver / would feel safe in
offering the same test to Mr.. Stewart in his
own county of Franklin. Let Stewards s
ticket and State Committee assure us of the
acceptance of this proposal and You will
see active work on our part to carry it out
fairly. The only condition need be that
each party will be bound by public pledges
TO support in good faith the ticket thus Sc
lected by the mass of the Republicans at
their primaries, and that neither shall en-
courage the enemy by delays"
The Independents dare not face
any such test, and in reply to this
proposition Ex-senator Cooper, Chair
man Mckee, the head of the kickers
committee, replied;
'The plan is an absurd one. We have
no machinery for the holding of any such
preliminary election, and even. ifthe scheme
were possible or practicable, there is no au.
thority for it, and nobody would be bound
by the result There is nothing in the prop
osition, either, which guarantees any RENE
dy for the abuses of which we complain
1t is only an expedient of the Stalwarts to
bolster up their ticket, and has more the
appearance of bluff than anything else
| If there is in it real desire to submit to the
people the issues which divide the party. il
has come too late"
Is it not evident from this that
the Independents" are playing a
bluff game, and that they are moi
only afraid to face the people, but
are determined that no compromise
shall be effected by which one ticket
alone shall be left in the field against
the Democrats? Talk about bossism
These Independent" bosses are
afraid to 60 before the people and
submit their claims to fair test.
