In his speech at New Castle, few days
ago. Maj. Mcdowell is quoted as follows:
~ charge. that this charge Of bribery orig
mated In Beaver county; that it was part
of plan or plot. The object was not to
purify politics, for the fountain head Of all
impurity Is not far from that place."
And in his speech st Beaver Falls, Sam
Miller, McDowell's right hand man, is
quoted ss follows:
ri do not know whether NJ s. Quay is
In favor Of Alex. Mcdowell or not; but
do know that Mercer county has given NJ.
s. Quay her support IN every State contest
he has ever been in, and do know that
Alex. Mcdowell has been warm and ar
dent supporter Of u. 5. Quay for fifteen
year"
If Alex. and Sam are correctly quoted,
they want to rehearse TO each other before
going on another electioneering trip down
that way.

soTHg WILL OF THE PEOPLE rs EXPRESSED
BY BALLOTS, not BY BRrBBRY."-T ".
Phillips Letter Of Acceptance.
That Explains II.

The bargain and sale agreement between
the politicians Of Mercer county on one
side and and Quay On the other, now made
public property, explains one thing that
has puzzled many people who believed
Mr.. Mcdowell when he said he had moth
ing to do with the bribery, and who won
dered why he did not promptly repudiate
a nomination brought about by such means
and trust TO the generosity and sympathy
of the Republicans Of the district to unan-
imously renominate him.
The Mercer county men not only broke
their agreement with Quay but, more than
that, they, or others in the, interest Of Nc
Dowell, conspired against the Beaver
county candidate and purchased three Of
his delegates
This was such dastardly violation OF
tho proverbial "honor among thieves" that
it would not have been forgiven, and had
Mr.. Mcdowell. after the expose, repudi-
ated that nomination and brought about
the re-conyening of the convention, he
could not have been renominated, and he
knew it.
In that case the Beaver county men
would probably have supported Mr.. Black,
and that support with the one anti-Jack-
son man of the Lawrence county delega-
ton would have nominated him. Had
Mr.. Mcdowell thrown up the nomination
he had secured he could not possibly have
secured another, unless the Mercer and
part of the lawrence delegations had
boited the convention.
The dishonest and dishonorablc doings
Of the Mercer and Beaver politicians made
. split in the party inevitable, and the only
true couree fer honest men TO pursue is to
support man who had nothing to do with
it, never had anything to do with such Of
fairs, and who, judging from his well
known character and past record, never
will have.
He Is now before the people as candi-
date for Congress and his name is Thomas

SOME POLITICAL HISTORY.

The following article Of agreement en-
tered into by men Of Beaver and Mercer
counties, the day after Christmas OF lSS9
five months before the time the county
primaries are usually held, explains itself.
AGREEMENT.
"It is mutually agreed that A. Mellow
ell and his friends in Mercer county are
to support the candidacy of c. c. Town
send for Congress in the congressional con-
ference Of 1890 BY giring him the rotes Of
the Mercer county conferrees in said con-
ference; and on the part of G. C. Townsend
and his friends in Beaver county, be and
they will give the support of the Beaver
county conferrees to A.. Mcdowell in the
conference for the congressional nomina-
ton in 1892 And if necessary to carry
out the spirit Of this agreement, MeDo@ea
is to be a candidate for Congress IN Mer'
Ger county in 1890, and Townsend in Bea
yer county in 1892. And it is also agreed
the said parties and their friends are tC
aid to the extent of their ability in The
other counties of the district.
at ia also agreed that in case ne"
congressional apportionment is made prlol
to the November election in 1892, thai
Beaver and Mercer counties are to remain
| in the same district.

coming woman, and will keep her out
of the Senate. If Wyoming comes in
with its present suffrage, it will give
the cause great impulse in South Da-
kota, and probably insure it's adoption
next fall. Then the popular orator and
female statesman, Mrs. Bones, may
come to join Susan in the Senate. The
appearance of Miss Anthony in the field
as Senator will add to the interest to DO
taken in the action of the Senate.
There are some Mormons in Wyoming,
but they are understood to vote the Re-
publican ticket and are all right 1t had
20,7S9 population at the last census, ten
years ago, and last year had IL, 900 votes,
including the women. 1t seems to
have about as many male voters as
Nevada, and is reliably Republican,
unless the women get out of humor and
vote against the party. If there were
much real danger of the State going for
the Democrats, it would be seen at once
that its population is too meager for
Statehood. 1t will be baby State if it
comes in, and what more appropriate
than that Susan should be one of the
nurses st. Paul Globe.

KEEP PEGGING AWAY.

This world is world full of pitfalls and
snares.
o,tIIinut pleasures and Gull yer cares;
NTH people more rea3y to curse than to
bless,
u-tb little to cheer you and much to de-
press;
mt the best thing to do is-believc me,
pray
Face yonr duty, be brave, and keep pegging
away.
THE pitiful creatures of envy. indeed,
viii ieer or will carp if you fail or succeed;
There are those without humber who lack
notthe will
To give you kick once you're started down
hill.
Don't let them disturb you; don't mind
what they say;
Turn your eyes to the light ana keep peg
ging away.
Devotion to duty lever will prove
Wberewith you can myriad obstacles move /;
Won NAV find that lfe's gold ovcrmatches
the dross
In striking your balance of profit and loss
Re steadfast and patient, be hopeful and
gay
To business attend and keep pegging away.
With the honey of life must some NORWOOD
be mixed,
Az the daintiest rose by thorn is trans
fixed;
But the honey's more sweet from the leaven
of gall,
And the rose rudely pierced the most fra.
grant of all
You'll find your reward great and lasting
some day,
II strong in your faith you keep peggng
away.
