A distant view OF his fiaucee at the
opposite side of the table aided fuel to
his wrath. Her face wore an expression
which he had never seen there before
1T was one of serene pleasure. He OBJ
served the vivacity with which she re-
sponded to her companions words-the
smiles which wrea,hed the face which
he had never seen without its vail OF
naughty composure. The eye OF jealous
hatred also perceived in De Barzac the
,exultant rival and chief cause of his

him from his path either by intimida-
tion or force. But if the viands or his
plate remained untouched, the wine
cup was not neglected, and when the

mood for any desperate act.
De Barzac was the last to depart. and
as he bade his hostess farewell she whis-

DELAMATER AT PORT
ROYAL.

Senator Delanater visited Port
Royal fair on Friday. 1t was the
last day of the fair. Thousands of
people had arranged to attend, but
tho day dawned threatenlngIy, and
soon after daylight rain began to
fall The inclement weather kept
people at home. The multitude
could scarcely have been driven out
Of their homes, and yet with all the
unfavorable surroundings, there was
crowd present TO greet Senator
Delamster, Republican candidate for
Governor. The Senator visited the
fair grounds and in the main build
ing delivered a speech, that pleased
all who were within hearing distance
He spoke upon farming and express
ed belief in agricultural fairs, and
and said they are great educators of
the people.
He spoke of ballot box reform and
expressed himself in favor of the
Australian system of voting.
He spoke of politics and said men
should have political opinions, choose
their party and vote their honest con-
vctions- He made a most favorable
impression Everybody was pleased
with him and when he shook hands
all around. favorable expressions
poured in from all sides from people
Of all shades ofpolltcs. Mothers and
young men greeted him heartily
A numter of young men who viii
net
said they viii vote for him. One
mother IN shaking hands with him
sad My husband Is a Democrat,
my oldest son votes the first time
this fall He Will vote for Won"
Day express had been ordered to
stop for him. A freight train pass
ed along between the station and the
passenger train, preventing the Sen
ator from boarding Day Express be
fore the freight was past. The pass
enger train started; Delamater was
fleet as deer, and overlook the ex-
press, threw his satchel and umbrella
on the platform, and grasped the
railing 10 mount the car but the
train was then running at a rapid
WIS
so violently that the crowd that had
assembled at the station to bid him
good by, closed their ewes upon the
scene, and held their breath IN the
horrid expectancy of the senator los
ing his ho.d and being dashed to
death on the ties of the rail road, but
no such fate awaited him, and Joy
full expression of relief went up from
the multitude when some one shout
ed. Thank God he Is on"
The firm hold that he took on the
rapidly running train, and the
successful manner in which he vault
ed from the road bed to the car steps,
Is interpreted as typical of the firm
hold that he has upon the good will.
and good intention of the people and
his successful landing on the step of
the car is indicative of the manner
IN which he will vault into the COVER
norship of the Commonwealth in
November.

Relief for Taxpayers.

As a candidate for the governor
ship, Senator Delamater towers far
shove all preceding candidates in his
proposal of relief for the tax-oppress-
ed real estate owners of the coun-
ties towns and townships of the
state
When the Democratic party went
out of power it left legacy to its
successor in the form of a debt of
forty millions of dollars for the own
ers of farms and homes 10 paw. 1t
left legacy in the form of a three
mil tax on every dollar of the assess
cd value of real estate IN the com
monwealth, and taxed watches, car
riages and household furniture.
When the Republican party came
into power it gave legislation to cor
porations and railroads, and placed
tax on the corporations and rail
roads, and that tax was used to run
the state government, and nav the
Democratic debt of forty million dol
lars that they left behind them when
they went out of power
IL % tAll y lIle iCInO-
cracy were voted out of power, and
in that time the Republican manage
ment has paid the forty million of
Democratic state debt and in addi-
ton to that Republican management
has removed the Democratic direct
state tax of three mills from the real
estate. and taken the tax off watches
and carriages and household furni-
ture, so that now the state is out of
debt, and imposes no direct tax ex-
cepting three mills on money at in
terest.
Such is the relief that the republi
cans in the management of state af.
fairs have given to the real estate
owners.
Senator Delamater now comes for
ward and announces that if he is
elected governor-snd he Will be
elected by an overwhelming majority
that the state will come to the re-
lief of the ta1-ridden farm, and home
owners in the counties, towns and
townships of the Commonwealth.
He saws the tax on corporations
that has paid the Democratic State
debt shall be handed down to relieve
the ta1-bnrdens In the counties. 1t
shall be used to help the school tax;
to help pay improvements on roads;
to help pay for the keeping of the
insane poor; to help pay court jurors
to help pay the expenses of the hold
ing of the general election. Such is
the relief promised by Senator Della
mater TO the tax payers of the state.
The Republican party through its
platform is pledged to help him car,
~ the promise into practice. Read,
er vote for Delamater and do good
for yourself and the public generally
