For Assembly.

| hereby announce myself. as a candi-
date for the nomination and election of
a Democratic Representative for the next
Legislature. Whether elected or defeat
ed, | shall continue TO labor for the com
plete overthrow of all monopolies and
the various means and agencies which
are continually employed 10 oppress the
poor, firmly believing that neither Ma
ture nor God ever designed that the poor
should be- as they now are, virtually, the
slaves Of the Plutocracy-better known
as the MONEY POWER Good wages
for fair day'a work, TO be promptly paid
in cash, should be the law, ard no Com
pany Stores, nor any other methods,
should be allowed to exist to over-reach
the laborer.
Strongly believing that these afe, a.
mong others, really the great and vital
things that are of practical Importance
to the niassea of the people, and that they
must be radically corrected, sooner or
later l pledge myself, under all circum-
stances, to advocate them with an uii-
yielding conviction, that it is for justice

shall do it with energy ard force.

large sleeper was wedged under one fail,

that wat, and removed the obstruclions
few minutes before a passenger train for

A Susceptible Dudes Mistake.
Harrisburg Patriot

A pair of tight trowsers a cutaway coat, a
late style hat and pair of kid gloves con-
tanned yesterday afternoon what is known as
dude. The object was found posed against
the Trust company building on Market
street A small mustache that had Just gone
through the hands of the barber was being
curled by himself, while a light cane was
found under his arm.

could see no females.
"Mashing whatw he inquired
"The woman in the store window. See
her!'
Such proved 20 be the case The dude
kept up his Irritation for some time, but the
woman gave no sign of answering. She was
rather prepossessing damsel dressed in the
latest style, and it was evident that she was
not engaged, as the dude supposed, rearrang-
ing the articles for show.
"Are, you not tired flirting with that
woman" the reporter inquired
Not much, replied the dude. II do thinl,
she's so handsome"
But she can't talk"
"Cawn't she? That's awful bad"
"Has it appeared to yen that it is a dummy,
simply dressed to show of the latest
fashions" .r....
"Well, by Jove; I never thought Of that.
I'm left" and he pulled his cane from under
his arm and moved on amid the laughter Of a
number of persons who had been watching
him.

A Republican Paper on the Cleveland
Scandal s 4GrRks

The following from the st. Paul Pi.
oneer Press, the leading Republican
newspaper of the Northwest, expresses
contempt at the political methods
that reputable Republican newspapers
have attempted to run campaign OF
scandal against Grover Cleveland:
The Pioneer Press has declined re-
peatedly to give place in its columns to
what purport to be scandalous disclos.
ures concerning the private life of Gov
ernor Cleveland. Most of the Repub-
lican papers of the country have copied
the story, sometimes with real or af-
fected reluctance and regret, sometimes
with greedy joy and sagacious satisfac.
tion. 1t has now become pretty gener-
ally public property. The disgusting
recital is prefaced with astatement that
the community of Buffalo is in state
of great excitement over the alleged
fact that Governor Cleveland has long
led grossly immoral and licenti0us
life. 1t is cause for sincere regret that
any portion of the press should so far
have forgotten its office and its duty as
to make public such story, in all
probability, like most of its kind, con-
coction of malicious gossip. No mans
reputation is safe if publicity is to be
given to every Irresponsible slander, and
when once this sort of thing is started
there is no limit to which it may not
be carried. The whole story is clearly
unsubstantiated thus far, and as such,
should have claimed no decent mans
attention. There are nine chances out
of ten that the sensation is sheer ma
lignant invention and venomous tattle.
But in any ease, without undertaking the
enormity of the offence, if this charge
Were true, the matter il not fit mater
ial for political campaign. TO ransack
a mans past life for,secret scandals is
an illegal and disgraceful method of
political warfare. There are too few
men prominent in our history whose
private lives could bear such scrutiny
without reproach, from Webster down
TO Matt Carpenter. Many whose
Names we honor have sustained pri-
vate relations over which decency as

well as lcharlty demands that the veil
should be drawn. To attempt to drag
il aside for political purposes, whether
there be purity or filth behind It, is ut
terly inexcusable In political cam
paign. Only those qualities of man
relating to his fitness for the position
claimed for him are subjects of ligiti-
mate inquiry. To go further is impru-
dent and indecent. To proclaim
charges Indignantly denied by reputa-
BILE men who have known Governor
Cleveland from childhood, and to pro-
claim on the authority of nothing but
gossip is an outrage upon the man at
tackled. AS the story goes, it can have
no effect upon Governor Cleveland's
following, but it infinitely degrades the
campaign and invites retaliation in
kind

Woes Of Disappointed Dramatist

"The large majority Of successes on the

or money we are at the mercy Of those to
whom we submit our plays. After months Of
patient waiting our plays are returned,
sometimes discourteously, by managers

stolen the good points from the work and are
waiting for some other author to confide in
their honesty. By taking y little from each

There is so much of this brigandage going on
that it is really discouraging l have known
actors to be so mean as to even contract with

writer that he did not possess the required
talent and cancel the contract The authors
