Either Gen. Beaveror Robert Pat
tison will be the next Governor of
Pennsylvania. The candidacy of
john Stewart imperils Republican
success. A vote for Stewart by a
Republican is half vote fer Pat.i
sen and Democratic supremacy. The
Independents refused - socept the
.lberai offer OF TIE Republicans
leaving the settlement of al; 1ues
tions between the parties to themen
who voted for Garfield. They would
be satisfied with nothing but the
absolute bossism of the men who as
sumo to attack bosses. No middle
ground would satisfy them, and on
the naughty and ungenerous plat
form, Rule or ruin, they took their
stand, and the peril Of the party
they profess to love, and the proba-
bic supremacy Of the spoils-hunting
party they profess to hate, will not
move them from the dog-in-the-
manger policy they have adopted.
There are but two great parties in
this country and there cannot be
more, and one of these parties are
nearest right.
These are the plain facts and thev
cannot be disproved. Now what
will the result be? We believe Gen.
Beaver is growing in strength every
day, and that Republicans, too hastv
in accepting as facts the unfair and
partisan assumptions of the Inde.
pendents, are every day coming
back to the Republican ranks to
fight the old enemy. They realize
that the Independent party instead
of securing reform inside the party.
Is working an actual ally of the Dem
ocrats and nothing but defeat of re-
form, and defeat of the party from
which alone reform can be expected.
would result from their success.
There is a large majority of the
voters in Pennsylvania who believe
the Republican party is preferable
to the Democratic, and who think
the government of the State and Ma
ton is safer in their hands than in
the hands of the Democrats. For
all men who so believe there is one
proper course to pursue, vote the
Republican ticket. Support Gen.
Beaver, the gallant soldier. the able
statesman, the upright man. who is
the standard bearer of the Republi-
can party in this campaign, and
work against the free-traders whose
talent for governmentkept our State
taxes high and bonds at discount.
The interests Of the people demand
a continuance of Republican rule.
Bradford county men will save mon
ey by keeping in power the party
which has brought up credit, re-
duced our taxes and which stands
firmly and unequivocally for the
pet policy of Pennsylvania, protec-
ton.
Face the facts, and remember that
whatever politicians may say, it is a
simple question between Democracy
and Republicanism. Specious talk
will not change facts, and common
sense is superior to political hum
bugs. 1t is the old question over
again Which shall rule, Democrats
or Republicans? The voters of the
Keystone State have always known
where they stood on this issue, and
We believe that as in past years, they
will trust the party with a good rec
ord, pledged to their interests, rather
than party with poor record
which has worked against them.
We do not believe they will vote
either whole or half votes to get
again into power the party that
taxed the farmer, but missed the
railroad, and which loves the foreign
manufacturer better than the Amer
