POOR DISTRICT NOMINEES.
John Schwartz Chosen for Director and
James McGill for Auditor.

James McGill for Auditor.
The ten conferees from the two
:. districts of Carbon county and the seven
from the Luzerne section met on Satur-
day afternoon to nominate candidates
for poor district Offices. d. j. Mccarthy,
OF town, was elected chairman, and
James Breslin was secretary. For
director the names of John Schwartz, Ct
Hazeton, and f. p. Malloy, of Freeland,
were presented. Schwartz won on the
first ballot by vote of 10 to 4. Malloy
having received only the votes OF Patrick
Ferry. Con McCole, Roger McNelis and
Neal Gallagher For auditor there were
two names presented, James McGill, Of
Rockport. and Samuel Croll. of Weather
ly, and the former was nominated by a
vote of s to 6. The ticket is considered
strong one and will probably be elected.
Some of Mr.. Malloy's friends are a little
dispeased at the turning down of their
favorite, but they bear no illwill toward
Mr.. Schwartz. and it is safe to predict
that on the North Side the Democratic
candidates will receive tho full party
vote, besides the support of no small
number of Republicans, who, while they
are satisfied with Mr.. Smith personally,
are becoming tired of having their nomi-
nations dictated from behind barred
doors. The Democratic nominee for
director is man whose honesty and
ability should command the support of
every intelligent voter in the poor
district.
The Lllzerne eonferees were chosen
on Thursday in convention that was
much quieter and more orderly than on
the previous Monday. On the list Of
conferees known as Malloy's the name
of d. j. Mccarthy was substituted for
that of NJ. c. Lynch, and the balloting
began again. The first was Malloy, II;
Bubc. 1871; Sherry, IA. There was no
change Of any account until the fourth,
which was Malloy, II; Bube, TN;
Sherry. 3. The next was Malloy, 81;
Bube, III: Sherry /. The sixth was
Malloy, 21; Bube, l6; Sherry, ~. Mr..
Bube then withdrew from the contest.
The nominations were reopened and
seven names were elected to be known
as independent men or laval conferees.
The next vote Malloy, 20; laval 111a;
Sherry, s. The eighth and last ballot
was Malloy, "a; laval, 1917; Sherry, ..
This gave the conferees selected by
Malloy's friends clear majority, and
the convention adjourned

quently the demand for our products
would increase, and the increased de-
mand would lead to better prices, and as
prices rose, the burden of our indebted
ness would grow less and less.
To recapitulate: 1t is not question OF
how many silver dollars (supposing gold
to command premium) it would take to
meet our gold Indebtedness, but how
many bushels of wheat and corn, and
pounds of cotton, pork and -four. The
one question is: How would the open
ing of our minis to silver, even should it
drive gold to a premium, affect the gold
price, and consequently the debt paying
power of our commodities? And to this
there is only one answer. The export OF
gold would cheaper gold, and hence raise
gold prices in gold using countries. The
increased demand for silver would ad-
vance the price of silver, and as the price
of silver advanced, so would the gold cost
of everything bought in silver using
countries advance. Thus would the
competition of silver using peoples that
we are now forced to contend with in
the European markets be stript of much
of it's severity. Consequently, the mar
ket for our products would be broadened
and the result would be that we would
get better prices. So our produce would
go farther than before in paying our
debts, and thus would our Indebtedness
be lightened.

SENATOR NELSON ROASTED

Editor Representative:
King knute the I. harangued a 1a-o,
audience, mostly Free Silver peonla
who were present out of curiosity to
see genuine Wall street gold bug in
the court house at LIE Sueur Center, on
Thursday evening, for nearly three
hours on the sophistries of tariff for
protection and Sound money" He
pictured the condition of the country
under HarrisOn's, Mckinley tariff adj
ministration, in comparison with Cleye
lands Wilson tariff administration. as
though the free silver element were in
league with the cOrpulent fisherman. In
that part of the program he never men,
toned why he supported the Democratic
Mills bill tariff. In his Sound money"
discussion he informed us that during
the war the government issued $3.50 600
900 greenbacks, that deprecated enor-
mously because they were not based on
gold, and never referred once to the first
issue of $60,000,000 of full legal tender
demand notes, that were not based upon
a gold reserve" and never deprecated
one penny, but remained at par with
gold as long as they were in existence.
He then branched off to the debased So
cent silver dollar, and exhibited Mexi-
can dollar, termed by him as "greaser
dollar" and an American dollar, desig-
mated by him as Yankee dollar" and
told us that the former was worth only
AZ cents in this country, but didn't men
ton the fact that the latter was also de-
preeiated in the other countries, even in

LET SEWALL RETIRE.

1t takes certain Democratic papers
to tell the Populists what they ought
to do. Some are especially kind in
telling us what is ''good politics." and
that Mr.. Watson should never have
been nomina ted and should resign-in
the interest of banker, railroad
magnate, capitalist, speculatOr and
reducer of the wages of labor, and
especially in the interest of the
Democratic party.
The Peoples Party was not formed
in the interest of Democracy and is
determined to maintain its own Or
ganization, it is opposed to nearly
everything Mr. S,wall represents, and
it believes In putting Southern
man on the Presidential ticket.
We know MIR. Watson to be true
SOutherner, true Populist, and that
he has the interest of the down trod-
den mass at heart, We believe Mr..
Sewall to be the exact opposite of Mr..
Watson in nearly every respect. Be
sides it is generally believed that the
Chicago Convention concentrated and
exhausted all its good sense when it
nominated Bryan, and most stupid
blunder when it nominate d Sewall.
We see no reason for Mir. Watson to
retire so long as Mr.. Sewall re aims in
the race. II the election of vice presi-
dent is thrown into the Senate it will
be the fault Of the Democrats. II the
Democrats are all disposed to be fair,
they will advise Mr.. Sewall to resign
if lie needs such advice. Mr.. Watson
will then, no doubt, act with equal
courtesy and prOpriety.-N Virginia

Canada. He ridiculed free silver COIN
age as in the interest of the silver mine
owners only, and sought to create pref
udice by informing us that they had
united with the slave owners of the
south, who wanted cheap silver dollars
with which to pay the darkeys.
He then ridiculed the idea of the
large benefits the silver mine owners
would enjoy when they would get their
bullion coined free, but refrained from
informing us that the gold mine owners
have always, and are now, enjoying that
very same benefit and privilege. It
makes all the difference to Knute Nell
son whose OK is gored. Nelson objected
to being interrupted by inquisitive hay
seeds asking questions, and remember
ing his pugilistic tendencies in 1892, dis
erection was considered the better part
of valor, and let him have his own
way.
Reformers should take heed and keep
away from his lectures.

cause the government did not issue it..
If you attempt to add that So to the ma
tons circulation you are violating the
laws of the United States.
URGED TO WORK AT THE POLLS.
How are you going to get money then?
You have got by law to provide for its
creation. There are no dollars except
those which come from the law, and if the
financiers control your legislation, and if
those who are interested in having mon
ey scarce in order to make money dear,
get hold of the machinery of the govern
ment and stop the increase in the volume
of money, it means hard times for the
people. and better times for the men who
run the government in their own inter-
est
How can you get more money by law?
BY electing those who are in favor Of
more money instead of less money. We
have an increase in population, and it
needs an increase in money to keep pace
with it, Does the Republican party
promise you any increase in volume? Not
a bit. The Sherman law has been re-
pealed No more silver is being added
to the country's circulation. We have
$55,00O,0O0 of silver bullion in the treas
ury, and we try to get it coined, but the
very people who had it sent there are
opposed to that, and we have that bullion
lying there, and we have been unable to
convert that bullion into money and dis
tribute it among the people in payment
of the debts and expenses of the govern
ment. Why? Because the government
has been in the hands of those who have
profited by making money dear.
How can you get more money? BY
having charge of the government your
selves and administering those laws in
the interest of all the people, instead Of
in the interest of the syndicates and
money changers and money owners. APP

OXYGEN TO BE KEPT on TAP.
Prof. Gates Has Invented Machine
to Supply 1t to Houses.

TO supply 1t to Houses.
A machine. newly invented, will soon be
on the market, by means of which the
householder will be enabled to supply his
dwelling with indefinite quantities of oxy-
gen. All he need do is to turn on the tap,
and pretty soon he and the family will
feel as frisky as they have a mind to-
The discovery is very important and the
best part of it is that the contrivance is 50
cheap that even the poor man can afford
to buy one.
The instrument consists most essentially
OF a tube Of soft iron and an arrangement
or magnets. 1t may be put under a win
dow like a fly screen. and will supply the
additional oxygen to the air that comes in
One Of the machines will furnish 2 per
cent. OF extra oxygen to a whole house if
desired, but for ordinary purpose one
half Of 1 per cent. would be ample Two
per cent. would unduly exhilarate the in
mates, causing them to skip around and
behave themselves, perhaps, in a manner
too indignified.
There are other uses for this novel an
paratus. One Of the machines placed in
front of the furnace door in winter will
make the fire much hotter and save a
large part Of the fuel.
Oxygen is queer stuff, and most people
have very indistinct notion as to what
it is All they know is that it is a very
essential constituent Of air. But it is a fact
that an additional fraction of l per cent.
in the atmosphere will give a man energy
to work when without it he would feel
incapable of exertion. 1t will make The

yer forces in this fight in order to win.
The true cooperative ticket is Bryan and
Watson. 1t is the ticket that repre-
sents the side and cause of the people in
this fight; it is the ticket that every citi-
zen who loves his country better than his
party will support in this fight; and if
we judge from the activity and business
management already displayed at the
Peoples Party headquarters, it is the
ticket that will be elected in this fight.
There is considerable speculation in
Washington as to what will be the out
come of the gold Democratic convention
at Indianapolis. Everyone admits that
it's purpose is to elect Mckinley. The
only question is as to whether it will help
Mckinley more to nominate ticket or
not to nominate ticket.
Chairman Butler says that the advices
received at Populist headquarters show
that Watson is rapidly gaining strength
in the South and West, and shows that
the outlook is encouraging for union of
silver forces all along the line. 1t is
understood that the Peoples Party can
didates, Bryan and Watson, will be Of
ficially notified of their nomination at an
early date.

The true way to remedy existing
legislative evils is to elect good men
to office. The advocates Of this idea
have good thought, but the question
arises how to secure the election of
good men to Office, and secondly how
to keep them good after they are cleo
ted. If man is inclined to be good,
and Il he is of bad disposition he will
be bad, and it will crop out no matter
what the surroundings. Then when
such "crop'' natures, there certain
ly ought to be some way of taking
him from power and allow an honest
flee he has disgraced. This can only
be accomplished through the Impera-
tive Mandatc.-St. Louis Journal.
