CitizenS-RumOrST That

SCoTTDALE, Pa, July 9.-One
hundred armed negroes marched

ried revolvers and clubs. When
Burgess Robinson ordered them to
disperse they opened fire on him.
The Burgess called a number of
citizens to his assistance and a
general riotresulted. The negroes
ran pursued by 1000 citizens.
Fully 200 shots were fired. Two
negroes were shot, one fatally, and
others were badly beaten. They
escaped to Fayette County and
went to Clure's Works, where
they are said to be recruiting forces,
preparatory to making an attack
on the town. The widest excite
ment prevails. The Burgess has
asked the citizens to arm them
selves to repel the anticipated at
tack. One of the negroes who was
shot in the head was brought to
Scottdale. Threats of lynching
are heard on all sides.
The Sons of Veterans, armed
with rifles, have been called out
and are on guard at the lookup.
The negroes are headed by San
ford White, superintendent of the
Mcclure Coke Company. They
are now at the borough limits and

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE U.S.,

Mr.. EDITOR: Please allow me
through your paper to say that I
will probably not be able, on &C
count of official duties, to attend
the campaign meetings in your

I would be glad to do SO, deem it
more important to my constituents

of interest to them.
After the adjournment of Con-
gress will be more than delighted
to meet with the people and give
them an account of my steward
ship.

Democratic platform" he said.
IA party which acts as the Demo
cratic party has done will and
ought to be- overthrown. When a
man is elected to Congress it is his
business to stay here and carry out
the pledges he has made to his con-
stituents, and not to 60 back to his
district and work for a renomina-
tion when his presence in Congress
is necessary to make quorum.

T. J. DEMOCRACY WANTED.

"In speaking of Democracy"
said the speaker, II don't refer to
Mugwump Democracy. We want
Democracy that will recognize the
rights of every man, woman, and
child in the United States. We
want Thomas Jefferson Democracy,
which will give equal rights to all
and special privileges to none.
And in speaking of government
we should talk of a government
which will protect every citizen in
his right. There are two forces in
government, one is centrifugal,
which bends from the center and
is a government for, by, and of the
people. The other Is centripedel,
bending toward the center. 1t CEN
tralizes the power at the Federal
capital, and the governments con-
trolled by corporations, syndicates,
and trusts"
PEOPLE MUST HAVE RELIEF.
"Ihe people will and must b av
relief, and if we don't give it to
them they will get it elsewhere.
The Democratic party has golden
opportunity to go forward and wipe
off the statute books the iniquitous
legislation which has been enacted
by the Republicans during the past
30 years. The only way we can
reform the tariff is to enact
graduated income tax law. We
want to pass bill in the House
which will change the Constitu-
tion of the United States so that
those great big tushy-head states
men in the Senate, the President,
and Supreme Court judges will be
elected directly by the people"
In conclusion the speaker said:
There will come day when the
work of the common laboring peo-
pie will be heard and headed, and
the time will come when the lib
erty of the people will be restored
and everybody will be free and
happy"

GOLDEN CALF THEIR IDOL.
Representative Talbert Save This
of Cleveland and Congress.

Washington Times.
II will net follow Democratic
leaders who will bow down and
worship the golden calf of mono
netallism, while silver, the .peo-
ple's money, has been buried. I
believe that President Cleveland
and two-thirds of the members of
Congress are worshipers of that
golden calf"
Such were the emphatic remarks
made by Representative Talbert,
of South Carolia, at meeting OF
the Interstate Democratic Associ-
alton last evening. Mr.. Talbert's
was a straight-out honest Demo-
cratic speech, and his remarks were
loudly cheered by those present.
Before Mr.. Talbert's address was
delivered there was a short busi-
ness meeting of the association, at
which the following gentlemen
were elected members: Charles W.
French, K. J. Collins. c. W. Ged-
dis, G. B, Morton, c. B. Keane
James Devine. F. w. Knowlton. R.
I. Watterson, and w. R. Love. The
following committee was appoin-
ed to make arrangements for
celebration, to be held when the
President signs the tariff bill:
Messra. Clayton, Turner, Carlisle,
Elliott, McKevitt, Daniels, Dixon
and Allen.
1t was agreed to hold an extra
meeting Sunday afternoon,J July Is,
in the associations headquarters.
Col. Clayton gave notice CT a meet
ing of the New York Democratic
Association, also in the Interstate
hall, on Thursday next.
Then Chairman Gray introduced
Mr.. Talbert, who began by speak
ing of the great power of organiza-
ton. Among these he mentioned
the labor unions, which are using
their power to such great effect at
the present time. 1t was well
they should discuss their rights,
but he deprecated the means which
were being used at this present
time by the railway employees in
the West.
II am a Democrat of the Jack
son type" he continued, "believe-
ing that to the victor belongs the
spoils. The government offices are
filled with Republicans, who are
using their power against the Dem
ocratic party, and if I had my way
they would all be turned out of
office before sunrise to morrow and
Democrats put in their places.
Mr.. Talbert then went on to
show how the Democratic party
had violated their pledges to the
people, aid said, repeal of the Fed
eral election law was the only
pledge which had been redeemed.
II am Democrat who has voted

The Sunbeam Society.

The Sunbeam Society of our

afternoon last. Besides the regu-

A Rain-NTaller.
There is a man living in Edge
field town who promised his wife,
about three weeks ago. that he
never would "take anything" ex-
cept on. bad, rainy mornings. The
good wife says it rained the very
next morning after the promise
was given and has poured down
almost without ceasing ever since.
She now accuses her husband of
being a rain-maker, not only of
the "frst water" but of all the
water, and wants to hire him out
to the United States Government
to make rain in the ''bad lands" of
Dakotah and the arid Northwest
where rain is so much needed. We
have had enough here in Edgefeld.

Fine Crops.

Fine Crops.
Trial Justice F. E. Rinehart, of
the Etheredge section, was in our
office on Monday and reports the
crops in his part of the county,
both corn and cotton, az simply
magnificent. He says that Charlie
Adams's field of corn on the old
Duncan road, originally a poor,
sandy, pine ridge, will make thirty
bushels to the acre, and that thirty
years ago this same land could
have been bought for 10 cents an
acre. Indeed so poor was this Sec
ton once that there is a tradition
that, when jobs turkey gobbler
struck the old Duncan road in
Edgefeld county he got so poor he
had to lean up against the fence to
gobble, that the old ramshakle and
wobbly fence fell down with him,
and that the natives round about
pulled out his beard ard tail
Feathers and made soup with which
they did regale themselves. If this
last statement is not correct, charge
it up as a part of the defendants
costs in the case of Jobs turkey
against the old Duncan road.

A REPUBLICAN VIEW.
Statehood as Seen Through Repub-
Iican Spectacles at W ashingtOn.

Denver, Nov. 16.-The Times-Sun, Re-
publican, prints special dispatch from
Washington, respecting the next senate,
which says:
"The representation of the proposed
new western states in the senate must
also be taken into consideration in all
calculations concerning that body after
the beginning of 1896, when, if there is o
change in the plans indicated in the last
session, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona will
each be entitled to two votes in that
body.
"The Utah bill has already become a
law and can not be recalled. Conse-
quently Utah is assured of statehood. 1t
has become matter of doubt, however,
whether Arizona and New Mexico will
fare so well. The bills for the admission
of these territories were left suspended
in the air when the last session came to a
close. They I'D passed the house bnt
not the senate, and there was good reason
at that time for believing that the feeling

the senate, and who will continue to con-
troll it under any circumstances until the

Senator Faulkner, as chairman of the
committee on territories, reported the
bills favorably to the senate, but 1t is
known to those who were on the inside
! that he did so with great reluctance and
only after much delay, and apparently
mHch against his will
"If the Dem mocrats were then opposed
to admission, will they be more friendly
now that both of these territories have

the Republican side if given an oppor

of the admission there would be a GER
