POLITICAL NOTES.

Ine enort 10 make u appear tnat Ed
Waru Merrlnelu, tne Democratlc canal-
% uate ior congress ~ tne LackaWanuA ui1-
phia Press, which thinks that Candidate
Singery will be apt to turn his search
light ON that hybrid and expose it. He has
no patience with Democrats who pretend
to be protectionists, and has declared that
such are frauds. MIR. Merritield naturally
does not want to be regarded as fraud,
but as long as he attempts to pose as q
protectlonlst and Democrat at once he
cannot fail to know that he is looked upon
as fraud by the Democratic
candidate for governor. Mr. Singerly
says protection as principle is dead
and damned, and before he said this he
must have heard that MIR. Merriiield was
pretending to be for protection. The free
trade candidate for governor is not likely
| to give the Tree trade candidate Tor con-
gress much chance to play the protection
dodge this year. 1t IS good thing to have
them smoked out-they have imposed upon
the people long enough. Ii Mr.. Merrif1eld
were elected he would vote for a free
trade speaker and free trade organization
of the house. No sincere protectionist
would do such thing" The people OF

accurate measure OF Mr.. Merriheld's pro-
lection bluff; and he Will be afforded no
opportunity to Amermanize.

The record OF Mr.. Watres In state politics
ID clean and honorable. In his legislative
career he has been peculiar among Repub-
lican politicians for his freedom from cor
porate influences, and his character for
ability and integrity is unimpeached.
-Four years ago, he was nominated for his
present position IN the hope that his repu-
tatlon would bolster up the Delamater
ticket with the result that While Della
mater was defeated by III, OOO, Watres was
elected by ~, UOO. such senator would
be vast Improvement on one whose sena-
torial achievements consist of moving ad-
journments, pairing with Senator Butler,
of South Carolina, and negotiating allan
ces with the Popnlists. II Senator Cameron
wishes to depart into the Popnlist camp,
the. Republicans oil Pennsylvania should
welcome the opportunity to replace him
with man OF the Watres stamp. But
