Used at K1eber Bros, SOC Wood Street,
Pittsburg.
Purchasers put more faith in the honesty
and judgment OF that old and trusted music
house of b. Kleber & Bro. than in anyone
else. An instrument coming from KIebers
store, be it Steinway, Conover, Gabler or
Opera Piano. or Burdett or Earhuff Organ,
for the opinion OF Mr.. Kleber is looked upon
as final and conclusive. Hundreds peo-
pie have made the remark: "Oh, wish
had called on you first and bought an in
strument of vou;;'' and then they beg the
Klebers to take the piano or organ which
they bought elsewhere off their hands and
exchange for the Superior ones at the latter
place. Klebers' prices are SIS to $50 lower
than those OF other dealers, and their terms
Of payments are easier.
While other dealers sit around complain
ing of hard times, the Klepers are kept as
busy as bees. Don't fail to call at KIebers',

ion church organ has just been received,

tones that the most ranatical anti. organ per-
son will be converted on single hearing of
this musical church wonder.

M'KINLEYS HARD FIGHT.
CAL BRIcE SAYS HE WILL BE DEFEATED
BY 500 VOTES.

How Governor Hill is Stumping Through
the Ohio Tariff Mans District-Pittsburg
Money Being Distributed Freely -
Other Republican Congressman May be
Knocked Out.
Calvin S. Brice, Chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, passed through
the city last evening on his way to New
York to attend a meeting of the Democratic
Congressional Committee to-day. He had
just come IRON Ohio, where he worked with
Governor Hill, of New York, to de eat
Major Mckinley for reelection. Chairman
Brice said he left the Governor in McKinley's
district and there was no question about the
latter's defeat He said Warwick. the Demo
cratic candidate, will be elected by from LOO
to l,500 majority. he also expects to see the
whole Congressional representation from Ohio
evened up, and instead of there being a ma
jorty of IL Republican Representatives in the
next House from that State. there will be
about four. Chairman BTlce said:
i have been tramping around through Ohio
the past three weeks. and after the Congress
sional meeting l expect to put in every day
until November wol king for the defeat of Nc
klnley and the other Ohio representatives.
Major Mckinley is hard at work, and the money
sent into the State by Pittsburg iron manufact-
urerS, and Others interested in a high tariff, is
fulhllment Of the promises made by The manu-
facturers, not only Of Pittsburg but all over
the country, that they would help him out for
reelection. There is more money being spent
in Mckinley's district alone in this fight than
there ever was before in whole State cam
paign. Notwithstanding the fact that il is
pouring in at a rapid rate, the Doodle has not
made any impression as far as we can see and
is not breaking through our lines. The Penn
sylvaDia fight is not marker to the efforts
being MADE to re-elect Mckinley. We have
him on the run, and the people of his district
are now showing their disapproval of that high
tariff fallacy of the Majors. He will be de-
feated by from Loo to l5O0 votes
The Republicans now have l6 members of
Congress and we have >. expect TO see this
changed to about L to g. and If we are enabled
TO do il, there is no question about the COM
ulexion of the next House. Governor Hill is
now gong through the district and the Repub-
licans cannot stem the tide in favor of War
wick. Every place the Governor speaks he is
rendered big ovation, and he is making scores
of votes tor the Democratic candidate. One of
the campaign lies circulated by the friends of
Mckinley was that Mr.. Warwick could not
make a speech. This shows the desperate
straits they are put to, and it was promptly
sQuelched by the Democratic candidate, who
is on the stump himself.
81 am nnt paying much attention to the fight
between Quay and Pattison, but the latter
seems to be making votes without any trouble.

Are Called at a Colored Meeting,


Are Called at a Colored Meeting.
A handful of colored men, among whom were
a few of their white brethren who had dropped
in ''promiscuous like" assembled in the Grand
Central Rink, last evening. to hear addresses
from the Rev. G. NJ. Townsend of Washing.
ton, and ex-senator w. Vi. Jones, of South
Carolina. The meeting was called "by order of
the Committee on Meetings and Speakers"
but the mandate was honored more in the
breach than in the observance.
R. w. Scott presided. and ]. NJ. F. Foster
read list of Vice Presidents which included
the names of Robert E. Mercer, Sam Warm
castle, James Mexican, Heber Mcdowell and
other politicians. Mr.. Scott when asking the
meeting to accept the names of the gentlemen,
referred to them as s"pallbearers." Mr.Townsend
on being introduced said. though he was
Methodist preacher, he always thought it his
Christian duty to curse those who invaded the
rights of the people, and never keep his mouth
shut when he should speak out. The preacher
acted on his belief for about 20 minutes. when
the Rev. Mr.. Clinton took up the thread of dis
course. all of which proposed to help Mr. Del
amater along in his Gubernatorial aspira-
tions. An appropriate tune from the band ush-
cred the audience out into the cold and clammy
night air.

of the flag from that staff. The Major hastily

the arsenal had not yet received its storm flag

atthe end or every year. this excuse at least
seemed plausible.
