The strong Democratic Position Even Viewed
From That Standpoint
From the Wilkesbarre Leader
The election is but week of, aud the
time for last appeals is almost here. Our
last appeal is and will continue to be: Vote
for your states best interest which il your
best interest Judge by facts, not promises
This is a state election. State officers are
to be filled state issues are to be decided.
The state constitution is brought to the fore,
The question Is, shall IL be enforced? We
have had four years of Democratic admins
tratiOn of the state and as to It's entire hon.
esty and efficiency there has not been and
il not now shadow OF doubt The question
Is, shall We have four years more Of the same
kind OF administration, or shall we restore
the Quay.CoOper regime, with its riot bill
bribery, its pardon board In fanny, its treasury
despolistion, its Infamous recorder and de.
linquent tax and other bills merciessly op-
pressing the taxpayer in all directions.
The Republicans are, however, no, salts
fed that the election shall be decided uu state
issues. They insist that it is part OF the great
national battle for the presidency in lSSS
Well, let us have 1t that way What change
do the country's Interests call for? There
are two changes pOssible-One will make the
administration more completely Democratic
the other will make it Republican. WHY
should 1t be made Republican? ? Has the
country suffered since Cleveland cIme in ?
Is not business booming as 1t hasn't doomed
in years? Iron and coal are the great staples

Plttsburg is growing happier every dsy,

| AS to coal, listen to the Philadelphia Record;
No better evidence of the increasing pros-
pertty OF the country Is needed than the enor-
nous demand for fuel. The introduction of
natural gas into PittsbuTg, which was great
coal consuming market, and the use OF other
artificial fuels have not dim n shed the do
msnd for coal. Bituminous and sntbrscite
are being sent to market as rapidly as possih'e o
TO meet the call for them, and SO active is the
demand for coke that new ovens are bsiI z
built and put in operation. The syndicate
controlling this article of fuel has ordered Off
all restrictions in its man uiactura, and the
ovens will be operated TO their greatest
capacity. The anthracite producers have
been compelled to increase their output tor
| the present month by 250 600 tons. There is
| no restrictive combination in bituminous
| coal, ana the fuel tonnage of the Pennsyl-
