REVENGE is SWEET.
But 1t is Bitter When You Try 40 Get II
and Fail-A story of the Republican
fractional Fight In this County.

But IL is Bitter When You Try 80 Get Il
and Fail-A story of the Republican
fractional Fight in this County.
Every man has his likes and dislikes
There are in this county certain politi
clans of the Republican persuasion, who
have theirs. Not content with carrying
the county their own way at the last
Republican primary election, they have
lately been trying, in measure, to wipe
out of existence some of those of theiI
own party who have since protested
against the means used in carrying out
the purposes of the ring. Among those
who refused to bow to the yoke was
Alex. N. Hart, Esq, Alderman of the
Second ward.
Mr.. Hart was and is yet Hastings
man. He believes that the General is the
choice of Republican votero of the county.
He has dared to say so since the delegate
election in January, the arrangements for
which were made in suburb of Blairs-
vile, some time previous, when the
scheme for quietly carrying off this coun-
ty for the Crawford statesman was per-
fected and the money paid over.
We have nothing to say for one side or
the other, but will state some facts in or
der that the public may have a view of
the workings of the Republican State and
county machine.
Mr.. Hart was candidate for the Al
dermanic nomination in the First ward at
the Republican city primaries. He failed
to be nominated. Prominent among
those who helped to manipulate the coun-
ty for Delamater was a present appli-
cant for the Johnstown postoffice, and
prominent among those who opposed Mr..
Harris nomination were he and his friends,
Some time ago it turned out that Mr.
Hart was appointed Alderman for the
Second ward, the person elected to that
position having failed to lift his commits
sion. That angered the anti Hart faction.
They made effort to ha We the commission
revoked. and for that purpose Henry
Wilson Storey, Esq, candidate for the
Johnstown rostofice, and Fred w. Coke,
travelling salesman for the Gautier De.
partment of the Cambria Iron Company,
went to Harrisburg bearing with them
a remonstrance against the continuing of
Mr.. Hart as Alderman and asking that
his commission be revoked. 1t is stated
that in going over the Second ward they
got eight signers to the remonstrance.
Just what took place at Attorney Gen
eral w. S. Kirkpatrick's Office when the
gentlemen presented the remonstrance, s
not known, but this much is certain, AL
derman Hart's Commission still hangs on
the wall in his Office, and the parties who
opposed him have the assurance from the
Attorney General that all his official acts
are as legal as those of any other Alder
man.
The whole procedure shows that the
methods of the ring Republicans is 10
crush every opposing element within their
own party by not allowing anyone who
refuses to do their bidding, to attain any
prominence. In that way they maintain
their ascendancy.

The verdict of the jury IN the case OF
Chaplin vs.. Cambria iron Co. is generally
regarded as in accord with Judge Krebs'
charge.
The many friends of Mr.. 7. I. Bearer
were shocked on F, lay morning at the
news of his sudden death, which occurred
at his home in Susquehanna township
sometime during Thursday night or Fri
day morning, he being found dead in bed.
Mr.. Bearer was a young man OF exem-
plary character, and in every respect a
true man. He was for many years one of
tho foremost teachers in Cambria county.
He had paralyuc stroke some two years
ago while teaching school and had ever
since been an invalid Deputy

AGooa Word for the old Maids.

From the New York Press.
No product of the last decade of the
nineteenth century has changed more
completely than the old mald The
modern old maid always looks a great
deal younger than she is. This youthful
ness is the natural outcome of good health,
a clear conscience and a kind heart,
which are in turn produced by sys-
tematic course of mental and phyical
activity pursued by her. The modern old
maid spends the best part of her time
planning and working for the comfort
and happiness of others. The brothers of
the family adore their old maid sisters.

suspicion as to her faithfulness.
