The mining district Of The upper

almost unanimous petition requested
the retention Of Hon. Geo 4. Npwett ao

The Home Of Lincoln for Mckinley.

PRESIDENT LINCOLN CLUB, Somerset, Pa
DEAR SIR:-Allow me to congratulate
you and your fellow associates of Somer-
sion to Canton, upon the reception ac-
corded you and upon the eloquent adj
dress of Senator Critchfield, which
summed up the questions of the present
campaign in a few words. And then,
allow me 10 congratulate you upon the
eloquent reply of our grand leader, the
soldier and the patriot-McKinley. 1t
would have afforded me the greatest
pleasure 10 have met your delegation.
Do you ask why am so much interest
ed in your delegation over all others that
have visited Canton? Pennsylvania is
the county in which | was born and
grew to manhood. There my youthful
mind learned the lessons of citizenship as
taught 10y the Republican party, which /
never forgot, although most of them
were learned before the party came into
the two dominant parties were Demo-
cratic and Whig, the former under the
leadership of Judge Black, and the latter
under Charles 0gle. l''Spoony" ogle).
Although quite young | quite well re-
member the campaigns of lsi0-lsfi, and
much of the argument used then for and
against a protective tariff, and in my
minds eye can still behold the elo-
quent Ogle proclaiming the advantages Of
protection to his constituency-"The
Frosty Sons of Thunder" In latter
years A. J. ogle, Jr., ably supplied the
place Of iis uncle.
My home was then i'm Jennertown with
my father, r. Is. conover, Esq.. where
enjoyed the acquaintance of many of the
leading citizens of the county, and al
though have long been separated from
the scenes of my childhood ] have ever
cherished fond recollections of it and
have been battling for the supremacy of
the grand old party. During the dark
! days of the Republic many of your citi-
zens stood with me shoulder to shoulder
in defence of the Union, the Constitution
and the free institutions of our country,
and many are still living who share with
me feelings Of pride over the honorable
duty we performed. have always been
proud of the Republican party in the
grand old Keystone State. and am graf
ified to know that in my dearly loved old
home the lamp of loyalty, patriotism and
devotion to American institutions still
burns as brightly rs it did in days past
when kindled by the pioneer Frosty
Sons of Thunder. hope that the echo Of
your shouts at Canton will re-erberate
from the peaks of the Laurel Hill to the
summit of the Alleghenies-until it shall
awaken the Demopops from their free
silver lethargy to the fact that honest
money and protection are what American
farmers want-and it should be in
tones never to be forgotten.
Permit me, Mr.. President, through you
to tender my kindest regards to the Re-
publicans of old Somerset, and especially
TO those Of Jenner township; and in con-
clusion let me assure you that Sangamon
| county, Illinois, the home of Abraham
Lincoln, will be found with you this fall
in the Republican column.
Respectfully,

SOMERSET REPUBLICANS.
4 Farmer Tells How They Are :'Rallying
for Free Silver

From the JohnstoYn Tribune.
i leading farmer of COnemaugh town.
ship, Somerset county, was in the city to-
day. He saw an item in this mornings
Democrat, in which il was said hundreds
of Republicans of Somerset county will
vote for Bryan and Free Silver, and
many Jenner-township people were raj
lying about Mr. Hickman, '.for many
years one Of the most prominent Repuh-
licans in Somerset county"
The intelligent farmer laughed and said
he "a not suppose more ignorance and
untruthiu,uess could be crowded into the
same space. I'm the first place." he said,
mir. Hickman dces not live in Jenner
township, but in .onemaugh. In the
second place, he has not been Republi-
can for many years, but has shifted his
allegiance about to various parties. In
the third place. he is not rallying any Re-
publicans about him. And in the fourth
place, don't think single Republican
in the county will join the Reputation
Silver gang, rs most Of its own members
are ashamed to own they belong"
There were several other blunders and
misstatements in the Democrats few
lines, the gentleman said. but he didn't
deem them worthy of attention.
