The HERALD last week offered a re-
ward for the names of the Twenty Sol
dien" who through the columns of Mr..
Koontz's personal organ were made 10
slander their dead comrades and friends,
formerly on the Board of Surgeons ap-
pointed TO examine applicants for pen
sions. True, the personal organ eat its
own words and retracted the sla nder, but
the soldiers were anxious 10 know II any
comrades in the county had fallen 50 far
from truth and comradeship as to sign 50
villainous an article. To our offer OF a
reward, the personal organ replies IN
substance that no soldier would accept
money offered as political buncombe, and
then in the same breath asserts that We
are irving to buy the soldier vote of the
county. Poor. miserable falsiiier 1t
first uttered the slander against the
Board Of Surgeons, belittled the soldiers
by aiiixing Twenty Soldier" TO the pub
lication, was made TO retract the lying
charge by public Indignation, and now
adds insult TO insult by intimating that
they are held in such low esteem that
they can be bought. Once embarked on
the sea Of falsehood, there is no telling
when the falsifer's craft will cast him
upon the shore, exposed to the derision
and scorn Of the on-lookers.

The Court then said that after the property

held Saturday Of next week the ticket
they will support in the fall. The con-
test So far has been spirited but amiclble
among the candidates, and we hope it
will so continue to the end OF the canvas.
OF course, the usual cry of "ring" and
"slate" will be raised, and the usual
stories of trades" combinations" and
"set-ups" viii be told. But the average
voter has caught on" to this thread
worn trick, and he is feather-brained
fellow indeed, who can be gulled by it.
Each voter should carefully scan the list
of candidates, AMI from his knowledge
Of the men determine for whom he will
vote. Having done this he should not
be swayed from his determination by
any late-told tales.

HumoY Read IT.

done for us and our little boy by Hoods Sar

until short time ago, has ever since birth
been a terrible sufferer from serofulous
humor. Sores would appear on lin and
spread until they were as large as dollar,
and then discharge, only TO be followed by
others, so that the larger part Of his body
was one mass Of sores all the time. The
scrofula was especially severe on his legs and
back OF his ears and on his head. His hair
was so matted that combing was sometimes
impossible. His ears became so thin that we
could see through them, and were actually
AFRAID THEY WOULD DROP OFF.
His legs were so bad that sometimes he could
not sit down, and it was impossible for him to
run about and play like other children. Ere
quently when he tried TO walk, his leg would
crack open and tho blood start from different
places. The humor had very offensive odor.
and caused intense itching, so that at night
we had TO tie his hands in mittens or stockings
TO prevent his scratching and tearing himself.
We cannot tell
HOW THAT PooR BoY SUFFERED
for nearly five years. nor how his terrible con-

relieve him. Twoor three physicians agreedin
calling it scrofulous humor, bui did not effect
a cure. We tried salves and olnimenis and
other things but without benefit Al last

A DMINIsTRAToR's NOTICE.

F. W. BIEsEcKER, Att'y
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1890-06-04

THE personal organ of Mr. Koontz in
its last issue pours bucket Of slops over
the Republicans of the county who have
always stood by the organization, and
denounces them as ringsters subject to
one-man rule. Ii is not forgotten that
the owner Of the personal ergsn was
once leader of the Republican county
organization, and that he ran through
the scale Of party offices from Clerk to
the county Commissioners TO a four years
term in Congress; and then, as he sup
posed, having complete control of the
organization, like the scriptural ass he
"waxel fat and kicked"
To his CONSERVATION, he found that he
did not own the Republican party of the
county. 1t sturdily refused TO follow
him in his bolt against General Beaver
in 1882 in fact, it deposed him from
leadership. Most of the men who had
followed him because of his former po-
sition in the organization, speedily re-
turned to the party of their love, and the
deposel leader has ever since seized
every opportunity TO breed dissention
and SOW discor in the party ranks. OF
course. Mr.. Scull has been the principal
target for his malice and has had to en-
counter his fiercest hostility. In 1856 he
struck hands with Mr.. Tate, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress, and openly
supported him in 1855 Mr.. Scull receiv-
ed q unanimous denomination and he
found himself powerless to work him
harm, and now he is laboring with might
and main to prevent his being returned 10
Congress. In fact and in truth, had he
succeeded in his schemes this district
would have been represented by Demo-
crat in the last and in the present Con-
gress. Apparently, the scheme now
Matching is to tear open the old sores left
by the campaign of 1882, and to array
the old soldiers under his banner of dis
cord. But why, with his record, he
should have any influence with honor
ably discharged soldiers, passeth our
comprehension. The readers Of the
HERALD will bear us witness that it has
for months past endured with silent con-
tempt the persistent assaults made upon
Mr.. Scull by the personal organ of Mr..
Koontz. His course as a Republican and
as representative in Congress needs no
defense, and we refer to this malodorous
and disiasteful matter only in the inter
est Of the truth of history.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1890-06-04


THE HERALD copied last week from the
Pittsburgh Poa what purported to be an
interview with Capt. Charles ]. Harrison,
of this place-whom il styled a promi-
nent Republican-giving some pungent
views of the political situation in Somer-
set. As the opinions and language at
tributed to the gallant Captain corre-
spond precisely with the declarations he
puts forth in his street electioneering, we
naturally supposed them true, and in
our vocation as a commentator on peliti-
cal matters, we took occasion to point
out that as prominent Republican" his
professions did not square with his ac-
tions, whereupon, like Sir Lucius 0'Trig-
ger. he gives us the circumstantial lie
direct, three separate and distinctive
times, and having thus vented his war
like feelings, pathetically cries, 81 am
not a candidate why this sungentlemanly
attack on me?' Let us say in all kind
ness 10 the Captain that-to use his own
language when he was denouncing the
nomination Of candidate for postmaster
in this borough-he has made himself
very obnoxious" to many Of our citizens
by his violent political animosities, and
threats to get revenge" on a certain can
didate and further, that the reporter Of
the Posi- must be mind-reader to so ac-
curately quote him without an interview.
In fact, it is a most remarkable case that
be should, by resding the Captains
mind, be able TO reproduce the little
anecdotical saying Of Colonel Daniel
Homer about his ability to represent
this district in Congress. Again, We may
have erred, and if we did, we beg his par
don, in summing up his little political
peccadillos when we said that he voted
against Mr.. Cessna in 1851, against Gen
eral Beaver in 1882, and against Mr..
Scull in 1886 and 1888.
To the charge of having voted against
Cessna in 1881 and against Scull in 1888
he enters a fierce protest that these ale
cations are lies, but as to the indictment
Of voting against Beaver in 1882 and
Scull in lSS6, he has nary a word TO say
in fact, pleads Holi, contendre. The truth
is, my dear Captain, the very bad polit-
ical company you keep, and the we'll
known fact that the joint caucus Of your
friends and those of Mr.. Tate, at which
the latter was present, when he was q
candidate for Congress against Mr.. Scull /
in 1856, was held in your bank has given
your Republicanism rather shady APP
pearance, and is liable TO lead others as
well as ourselves TO draw conclusions
which may no; be strictly jusiifiable. My
lear fellow, when next you give the lie
to one-half Of an accusa-
ion, be sure that mere bluster will not
blind intelligent men 10 the fact that the
jther half is tacitly admitted to be true.
