THERE never was, in the political his
tory Of the County, more desperate and
lying attempt to mislead and pervert
public sentiment. Misrepresentation af-
ter misrepresentation tread 50 swiftly on
each others heels that it would take the
ssven-lezgus- boots, Of the old story, to
Overtake them. Much ado is attempted
to be made over the Chairmsn's refusal,
in the face Of the rules, to officially an
nOunee Mr. Hicks as 3 candidate, and
precedents are quoted as in the case of
General Campbell, d. J. kostoller and
Judge Hall TO convict the Chairman Of
an outrage on Mr.. Hicks. This only
shows the danger an ignoramus rush
ing into print, ond proves the truthful
ness Of the declaration that "Fools rush
in where angels fear to tread"
At the time the above named gentle
men we're announced, the present rules
we're not in existence, any person could
have his name announced by paying the
printer, as he can now if he pleSses, and
it win be found on examination that
Judge Hall was announced through a
note from Mr.. Isaac Kaufman. 1t was
because Of this loose method, which was
sometimes taken advantage Of by sharp
politicians, 10 announce candidates in
precincts they could not carry, to save
them from falling into the hands Of for
midable rivals, that the present rule re-
garding official announcements through
the Chairman, was adopted. Mr.. Hicks,
or even any kicker or mugwump, can be
/ announced as candidate to-day or at
any time in any paper in this County by
paying the usual price for advertising
cards, but in official announcements the
Chairman isrestricted by the rule, which
Mr.. Hicks, after seeing it, gracefully ac-
quiesces in. 1t il either sodden dumb
ness or downright rascality that would
so attempt to mislesd the public, or TO
sacrifice Mr. Hicks by attempting to mis-
lead and misinform him.

Altoona, Pa, April l, 1892.
F. W. Biesecker, Esq,
Chair. Rep. Co. Com,
DEAR SIR:-When / authorized the
use of my name as a candidate
for Congress in your county / was
not aware that your rules denied me
or any one in the District that privilege,
but after having been notified that you
had decided that | could not be candi-
date under your rules, and having since
seen the rule, l at once wrote 20 your
County and stated that could not per-
NIT my name to he used. My lifelong
devotion to the principles Of the Repub-
licsn party forbid me being a candidate
only according to us rules and usdges,
and notwithstanding the fact that ! be-
lieve that Blair County is entitled to the
nomination, and l as Blair County's
choice should be the nominee, if / can
not receive the nomination in the regu-
lar way, am too good Republican TO
be either disorganizer or g kicker. On
the contrary | will be for the ticket nom
mated / have no personal quarrel or
feeling against Mr.. Scull. He has been as
devoted Republican as myself, and if
be shall be the nominee he will have no
more hearty supporter in the District
than will be. | deem it but Just to
myself as well as to the Republicans Of
Somerset County that | should not be
misunderstood IN this important matter.
You are at liberty to make this public If
you choose and l might add in conclu-
sion that the rules governing the party
in Blair County do not forbid of any gem
tleman residing within the district be-
coming a candidate for District nomi-
nation. On the contrary our County de-
clared once for Mr.. Morrell and more
than once for General Campbell.
Very truly yours,
7. D. Hicks.

When the stone was first applied it re-

A second application ofone hour anda third

not take the same hold, having apparently
absorbed all the virus. The sensation while
the maidstone was absorbing the poison was

CAPTAIN CHARLES J. HARRISON has, for
some time past, been making himself
politically, very numerous. It is true,
he has pursued the tactics OF q Bush
whaeker, but occasionally, where the
bushes were thin, you caught q glimpse
of the concealed warrior and his corpo-
rails guard Of followers. We have never
thought the game worth the candle, but
lately concluded that, in duty TO party,
the time Ia I come to shell the brave
Captain out Of the bushes.
IN October last, a manifesto was issued
by certain self-styled Republicans in the
City Of Philadelphia against Senator
Quay proclainling ameng other things,
that an organization was being perfected
against his reelection throughout the
State, and that letters had been received
from prominent gentlemen in interior
counties IA list Of whom was given, who
were in active sympathy with the move
menil, and among those was, "Charles J.
Harrison, President Of the Somerset
County National Bank
Having thus allied himself with the
big, kid-glove, silk-s,ocking, selfconsii-
tuted diciatoIs ofthe City, the Captain,
We suppose, thought he would add 10 his
laurels and the lustre Of his fame by tax
ing Congressman ScuIl's scalp, and thus
prove his proves as a leading politician.
By the way, the Captain among his 9TH
er possessions has acquired a newspaper
organ, and of course, this was "sick'd"
upon Boss Scull.7 Everything that
went wrong with his plans, everything
mean and despieable in politics, and ey-
erything that could be coDjured up, SUP
posediy offensive 10 bis fellow citizens,
was charged upon Mr. Scull. The Conn
~ was naked for candidate TO oppose
him and failing to secure one. an attempt
was made, in defiance Of the rules Of the
party, 10 have J. D. Hicks, Esq, of Al
toona, officially announced as a eandi-
date st our primary election. Failing in
this, through bis organ, he ravenously
sssailed both the Chairman Of the Coun-
~ Committee and Mr.. Scull. In his
wrath, be forget the soldieriy quality Of
truibfulness, and made statements and
insinuations both untrue and unmsnly
u was insinuzted that "AIr. Koosers re-
cent defeat was accomplished by Mr.
Scull, when in truth and IN fact Mr..
Keoser vas not defeated, but voluntarily
withdrew from the contest, and he know :
and has r, peatedly said iha. Mr.. Scull
was openly and honestly for him, and
made no concealment Of his position.
Scores Of good men and true can attest
this also. Again it was asserted that Mr.
Hicks, IN a speech made in Blair Co
said that -Scnn declared in 1890 that
he wonld not again be candidate, and
be and his friends would suppsrt Blair
County choice this year" Mr.. Hicks
did not make that assertion, nor could
lie irnihfaliy Go so. There are teo many
living witnesses three Of them in this
town Who know all that occurred at the
time Of Mr.. Sculi's last nomination, and
that as Ar. Hicks persisiently antagoniz
