IN the reign OF James T., OF Scotland,

woman, a native of the same village. The
home OF the pair was in cave OF about
a mile in length and of considerable
breadth, the mouth of which was
washed by the sea, the tide sometimes
penetrating the cave a distance of two
hundred yards. The victims were waylaid
under cover OF night on their way from
country fairs, or, in the case of isolated
travellers across the country, we're openly
attacked in daylight. The same soul

case; the abdomen was cut open aud the
entrails dragged out and the
body carried TO the cave. To
prevent detection they murdered
every traveller they robbed, and FOR years
they continued their horrible calling

thrown into the fire, their hands and legs

Almost In sight Of the goal.
For the hearts that break in silence
With q sorrow all unknown.
For those who need companions.
Yet walk their way alone,

And know the solar system

And love that is wasted here.

Quay's Plans Exposed.

Chairman Quay has at last brushed
all pretences aside, removed the mask
and exposed his plan of campaign. 1t
is to be one OF bribery and corruption.
With the assistance OF William r.
Leeds and Charles E. Voorhees, he has
been coloniZing negroes and others in
New York city and points throughout
the State. AT least 100 heelers, the
men who usually serve on Pinkerton's
force when bloody work is expected.
have gone from this city since last
Tuesday under orders OF Quay's ennis
saries.
Nothing better was expected OF QUAY
and his Immediate assistants in this ne
faIious work. A man who violated his
oath and tampered with the funds of
the State as u Commissioner of the
Sinking Fund is not likelv to draw fine
lines in politics. A man who as Secre-
tary of the Common wealth would use
bis vote in the Pardon Board to shield
himself from prosecution for corrupt
solicitation is not likely to see nice dis
tlnctions In a desperate emergency.
But that the money TO conduct such a
contest should be contributed by repu-
table business men of this city is mat
ter of surprise.

Another Lie Nailed.

The Republican managers have
grown so bold in their campaign frauds
as to forge letters and quotations not
only from English papers, but also from
prominent Americans. One of the
most recent forgeIies that have been
sent broadcast over the land represented
Mr.. Jesse Metcalt of the famous Waus-
beech Mills, Province. r. l., as saving
that IL the Mills bill passed he expected
TO reduce the wages OF his EMPLOYEES.
\ Boston friend wrote TO Mr.. Metralf.
AMI his answer should be read by every
man wishing TO see the Mills bill In its
true light. Here is part of it: The re-
port is campaign lie. am sure that
never said / expected a reduction OF
wages under any circumstances. am
certainly in favor OF the Mills bill and
OF free wool. Uuder the present tariff
we have practically free trade in our
spring goods. ard yet we continue tn
run at profit. With free wool and 40
per cent. duty we should have all the
protection that the most selfish interests
onght to ask for. and far more than the
consumers ought TO grant US. More
than that would be a premium on lazi-
ness. With free wool we have not half
enough machinery in this country to
supply the demand for goods. and Ger
talnlY we could not expect lower wages
with such an Increased demand for Ia
Dor as would result. In the event OF
the passage of the Mills bill I haze
promised TO erect a new mill. as can
conceive OF no more profitable invest
ment for our stockholders

DEMOCRATS throughout the county
should begin at once to make arrange
ments for getting out every Democratic
vote. II you have 4 neighbor who lives
at distance from the polls, who
through inGrmity or some other cause

Those who have teams and will drive
TO the polls should make arrangements
to take their neighbors who are not so

be largely increased all over the country
and Cambria county must and will show
large percentage OF Democratic gain.
The whole coucty ticket will be elected
by an increased majority, but, with the
entire Democratic vote out there is
strong probability of electing A. v.
Dively Esq, to the Senate and increasing
Democratic representation in that mon
opolY serving body.
The time for talk and bluster is past
and we must now get down TO quiet,
effective work. You may talk to a
man for a month and convince him, but
IL he fails 10 go TO the polls your argu-
ment is lost. Every stsy-at- home
Democrat that you take 10 the polls is
a Democratic gain OF one and there has
not been an election in the past twenty
years that we could not have gained
from two TO FIVE hundred over the vote
polled.

he eau ride with you TO the polls and
also notify the member of the County
Committee of your township, who you
will take, and If there are others that
you cannot take let the committeeman

have them broIght to the polls. Every
vote counts. therefore les every Demo-
Graf put his shoulder to the wheel and

home list as possible.
