LEVI.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1882-06-07

THE cant and hypocricy of the
Independents of this county is as
transparent as it is nauseating.
They complain, in unison with the
platform of their faction, that there
has not been a hearty enforcement
of the civil service policy, and "that
faithful public officers have been
removed for political reasons to
make way for personal friends"
Who does not remember how these
fearful patriots haunted the steps of
President Garfield in pursuit of the
Collectorship of this district; the
petitions that were circulated pray
ing the removal of a competent
public official; the whispered as
surances that Senator Mitchell was
with them; the gleeful announce
ments that this month, and next
month, and then the next month
that the removal would be made i?
Was this not an attempt to find a
place for a friend, despite the civil
service rules? Was Mr.. Cameron
consulted when this Office and the
minor ones under it were parceled
out? The people of this county
know tile answers to these ques-
tions, and they know the true rea-
sons controlling some OF these Inde-
pendent patriots.

At Garf1eld's Grave.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 30.-The
method of decorating the soldiers
graves to-day differs from that of
previous years. Instead of the usu-
al procession marching from one
cemetery to another, attracting
throngs of people who trample over
graves and destroy the shrubbery,
q committee was appointed for each
cemetery. All worked quietly and
simultaneously this morning, and
without ceremony, except at Lake
view. There Rev. DR.. Twitchell
delivered an oratien in front of the
vault where Garfeld's remains lie,
and the Mannerchor Congress, of
Chicago, which came here for the
purpose, sang three anthems COM
posed for the occasion. Garfeld's
casket and the vault containing it
were covered with profus;on of
rare floral offerings. In the after
noon general exercises were held in
the Tabernacle.

thas if the business men did not aid
him in this camp:.i: sl would lend
his aid to dsfeat pfosevsionist meas
ures ia tie Senate, aud he replied !:
II do not think it worth while to
notice any such nonsense. If the
entire press of Pennsylvania would
say so, the manufactures would not
believe them. No, sir; you can say
it is q lie, and q very thin one ct
that. / am no fool; besides, protec-
ton is part of my religion. There
are few. newspapers in Philadelphia
that never fail to misrepfesent me,
and think that it is enterprise to do
so, but these same journals hurt
themselves quite as much as they
do me when they send out such ma
licious falsehoods." +" Whep asked to
state what he did say on the occa-
sion referred to, he replied: "Well,
| talked very plainly to severallead-
ing manufacturers last Saturday, and
l propose to do the same to the
manufacturers of Pittsburgh before
long. They are more interested in
the election this fall than / am.
The regular convention has nominat-
ed one of the best tickets that has
been offered to the people for years.
1t is ticket that represents the diff
ferent factions in the party, and it is
their duty to orally around and not al
low the Republican party of Penn
sylvania to be wrecked by men who
imagine they have grievances against
me. 1t is not my ticket; it is the
ticket of the party. There is but
one man on the ticket that l am in
any way responsible for; that is
Rawle. / wanted him to please the
people of Philadelphia, and especial
ly the Committee of One Hundred.
/ know Rawle to be one of the finest
lawyers in the State and well quail
fed for the position. l have done
all any man should be asked to do
to please the Independents. Davies
voted with the independents all the
time when they bolted at Harrisburg
and helped to make Mitchell Sena-
tor. Rawle belongs to the Commit
tee of One Hundred, and Marshall
always opposed me in politics. As
for Beaver, the people nominated
him, and he can to-day carry Penn
sylvania in q fair vote five to one,
for the nomination over any man in
the State. My interview with the
manufacturers of Philadelphia was
very satisfactory to them, and the
manufacturers of Western Pennsyl-
vania will be perfectly satisfied.
They are all intelligent men and
don't take any stock in such roor-
backs"

Beavers Movements-What He Thinks
of His Reception in Lancaster.

HARRISBURG, June 2.-General
Beaver arrived in this city last even
ing and left for Columbia, Lancaster
county, at noon to-day. While here
General Beaver took q rosy view of
the situation. He said he had visit
ed many sections of the State and
had been received cordially every
where. Heexpressed the belief that
the reports of detection from the reg
ular Republican standard were
greatly exaggerated. In Lancaster
county, where he had been for sew
eral days. he had come across very.
little which led him to believe that
the Old Guard would do her full du-
ty for the regular Republican ticket.
AS to the result in the State, he pre-
dicted certain Republican victory.
Tomorrow evening General Beaver
will return to this city. He will be
met at the Pennsylvania Railroad
station by the Young Mems Repub-
lican Club and several colored Re-
publican clubs ofthis city, who will
escort him to the Lochiel Hotel,
where he will make speech.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1882-06-07

THERE is not an intelligent man
in the State of Pepnsylvania who
believes that the Independent ticket
can be elected. The advocates of
that ticket are simply seeking to
throw the State into the hands of
the Democrats. by dividing the Re-
publican ranks. The defeat Of the
Republican party at this time means
Democratic ascendancy for years TO
come, an apportionment of the State
at next winters session of the Legis-
lature that will lose US six or eight
Republican Congressman, will give
the Democrats the power to elect a
Senator 10 succeed Mr.. Cameron,
and viii most probably lead to the
defeat of the Republican party at
the next Presidential election. Are
Republicans ready for this?

MANOR AIgRRIcK. the Independel

MAJOR MERRIcK, the Independent
candidate for Secretary of Internal
Affairs, and late p. M. at Wellsboro,
has evidently a strong itching for
notoriety- 1t is said that he would
have been nominated for Governor
in place of Stewart but for his in
cessant blabbing, preceding and in
the Philadelphia convention. On
rendering his resignation as Post
master he made a huge Ounce of
himself by writing the Postmaster
General a long-winded letter ar
raigning the National administra-
ton and its policy, and a similar
one to the Secretary of the Congres-
sional Committee, who had request
ed contribution towards defraying
the expenses of the campaign.
Fearing that the smartnsss display
ed in these epistles would not be
known by the public unless inform
ed OF it by himself, he has furnished
copies of his letters to the press for
publication. Mr.. Merrick may be a
very smart fellow, but he is evident
ly a man of excessive vanity and
egotism.

In Flooded Mine.

VIRGINIA Cry, New, June l.
Yesterday morning the pump col
umn in the Alta mine broke, and
soon after the bulkhead in the east
drift gave way, letting in a heavy
rush Of water. Six men working in
the west end were cut off, tut MS the
west end is higher than the section
flooded the men are still alive. The
pumps arerunning on full pressure
to clear the shaft of water, and strong
hopes are entertained that the men
will yet be saved. Air is being
forced down to them by means Of
pipes. There is no hope of saving
the mel in the drift. The height Of
the water at the station shows that
the drift must be completely filed.
