HOW PETITIONS ARE SECURED.
A spooiman of the Methods Used In
Bradford County.

From the Athens Pa.) Gazette,
The Philadelphia Press, in a recent
issue, publishes long list of Repu blican
voters in Bradford county who have signed
petition to our members-olect to the leg
lslature TO vote for John Wanamaker for
United States senator, The Press cannot
know the methods employed to secure
these signatures and the great number
who signed who now regret their hasty
aotion, or they would not be 50 confident
that the Wananiaker petition reflects the
true feelings Of the Republicans of this
county on the senatorial contest Weun-
hesltatingly say that if a petition for
Hon. Boies Penrose had been circulated
prior to the Wanamaker petition, with
the same methods used, that he would
even lead the WanamalJer petition
As we heretofore said, Mr.. Wanamaker's
fitness for this high Office is not because
he can count his millions, some of which
may be used for the furtherance of his
candidacy The amount of doodle used
in this county we believe would startle
the experienced ward heelers Of Tammany
Hall if it were known to them. This may
be the reason that our self constituted
court house bosses in Towanda are work
ing so persistently for Mr.. Wanamaker S
success The malignant accusations
against Senator Penrose's 8 character under
the guise of a religious motive is too thin
for credence, even by the friends of Wanna
maker, They will be met in every point
of this canvass in way which will not
only exonerate Mr. Penrose, but will show
the animus which prompted them We
believe the citizens of our county do not
desire a millionaire to represent them, but
that they do want man who will be in
! harmony with the true interests of the
people, and such u man as Hon Boies

In a large majority of cases of diphtheria
whether among children or grown people
death is sure to follow, Absolutely stating
the facts as they are, there is no reason under
the sun for single individual to die from
diphtheria, Group, quinsy, or any known
throat affection. Thompson's Diphtheria
Cure has never failed to cure every case
where the directions for use were strictly
carried out. Now do you prefer to die or
have your friends die when so cents expended

in the case. Sold at Kirlin's drug store at so
cents a bottle.
