DR.. SPALDING A DELEGATE.
His Election Ends a Squabble on the
Board of Health.
A QUARANTINE POINT DECIDED

After Recovery is Pronounced.

A special ua,..rr,' g.. Board of Health
w1s held evening flr h. uurpose of CON
siduriug tue iu. .rtfrtv u. sending a dele
gate to the State Sanitary convention. to be
held at Harrisburg next Thursday. The
members i'm attendance were Mcssrs Spald-
ing, Morrison and Malone Secretary Curtin
and Health Officer Conry.
Itappears that at recent meeting of the
Board the subject was discussed AT some
length and there was q tie vote ON motion
not to send "a DELEGATE The discussion at
that time was very bitter ON the part of one
of the members, and he INDUCED in a
personal attack upon President Spalding
when it was suggested that the officer be sent
as delegate TO the convention.
At the meeting last night President Spald-
ing, in opening the meeting. stated that il
was called to again consider the question.
He briefly reviewed the proceedings of the
previous meeting and said he did not wish to
reply to, or consider the attack made upou
him, that he was satisfied to let the party
who had made it take such consolation from
it as he might receive. The President
added that he did not wish to be the
delegate to the convention; il would be
a sacrifice for him to 60, but when a delegate
was first spoken of in the early history o.
the Board the Borough Solicitor suggested
that a medical man would be the prope
representative, as they know more abou
health affairs than others and, il
fact, the State Board with one ex
ception is composed of physicians DIR
Spading said he had no friends to punish, ol
enemies to reward, but he did not intend t,
be driven from the Board. He felt that the
majority of sentiment was in favor of send
ing delegate and, considering the progress
Shenandoah has made in sanitary affairs, il
would be disgrace for the town to neglect
sending delegate to the convention. The
doctor closed by stating that he thought Mr.
Malone should be the delegate, but tha
gentleman and Mr.. Morrison thought tn,
President should be designated and a motion
to that effect was unanimously carried, anG
thus the dispute was put at rest. Messrs
Miles and McHale, who opposed the move
ment at the last meeting, were not in attend

The Mystery OF X R,ilrOad Train.

Washington, July 13.-Harry j. Po-
cock, for many years register of St.
Louis, died suddenly Saturday night on
train in Ohio, between Athens and
Parkersburg. His remains were left at
the latter city. Mr.. Pocock retired ap-
parently in good health. About II
O'Clock deputy United States commits
9ioner of pensions, was awakened by an
agonizing shrek from the upper berth
occupied by Pocock. The latter tumbled
from his berth into the aisle and died
soon after. The lower part o. the berth
occupied by Pocock contained two wo-
men, who were discovered in the act of
ransacking the dead mans clothes.
They claimed to be relatives of Pocock,
but later admitted this to be false.
They were arrested on the charge of
petit larceny, with the assumption that
they had doped Mr.. Pocock for the pur-
pose of robbing him. They had $51S,
which was supposed to have been taken
from the dead mans clothes.

WASHINGTON, July i5.-It can be
stated by authority that Secretary Her
bert will not support the ucket nomI-
mated by the Chicago convention.
Assistant Secretary Hamnn uf the
treasury department has given ont a
short statement this afternoon IN ex-
PLANTATION of his position with regard to
the Democratic platform and nomlna-
tIOns.
Inasmuch as MIR. Hamiir represented
the administration forces at the Chicago
convention. and as he has been IN fire.
Quent consultation with Secretary Car
Isle over the political situation since
the adjournment of the convention, the
statement made by him will undoubt-
edly be accepted by many as semi-offi-
cial declaration of the position of the
sound money men of the administra-
tiOn. This impression is further
strengthened by the belief that Mr..
Hamln has seen President Cleveland
since the adjournment of the conven-
tiOn. He spent several days at Marion.
near Gray Gables, on his way back 10
Washington from Chicago
The statement referred to Is as fol-
lows: mo political issue is involved
in the coming election. The question
TO be decided is far deeper and more
vital. The perpetuity of the Republi-
can institutions has been threatened.
Every loyal citizen should ally himself
against the forces which controlled the
Chicago convention forces of lawlcss-
ness, which are inconsistent with the
maintenance of the republic.
'Henceforth there should be no Re-
publican-no Democrat-but union
of loyal citizens against the combined
forces of reputation and disorder.
When once this dangerous element has
been stamped out at the polls by an in
dignant people we can again divide and
discuss those political questions which
for generations have kept alive the two
great political parties"

elected chairman of the Democratic ma

The Republican newspapers are now
publishing columns of stuff relative to
what Mckinley will do for the business
interests in this country If elected, all of
which is mere rot, and will catch none
but the most gullible. Even should
Mckinley be elected he will be the
merest fgurehead. Neither he nor his
party will be able to bring about the en-
actment of a single law without the con-
curence of the United States senate,
which body they do not control, neither
will they be able to control it for some
years to come. When congress recon
venes, next December, the senate will
contain thirty-nine Democrats thirty
nine Republicans eleven PopuIists and
unattached silver men. Any change
from these figures will be in the direc-
ton of a reduction of Republican and
an increase in the silver strength, for it
is probable that those senators from the
silver mining states who refused to bolt
at St. Louis, such as Brown, of Utah.
and Carter and Mantle, of Montana,
will be forced by their constituents to
follow the lead of Teller. Republican
control of the senate therefore, is thing
of the past.

The Democratic national convention
which met at Chicago last week. on
Thursday, adopted platform favoring
free silver at Is to 1, on Friday nomin-
mated William Jennings Bryan, of Ne
braska, as its candidate for president,
and on Saturday nominated Arthur Sc
wall, of Maine, for Vice President.
1t is well known to the readers of the
FREEMAN that the financial plank is not
what We could have wished for. As a
Democrat, however, we bow, for the
time being, to the will of the majority
and accept the candidates of the Demo
cratic convention. In an other portion
of our paper will be found the full text
of the Democratic platform.

In Minnesota over one hundred Re
publican weekly newspapers and several
dalies have bolted thsir party. Only a
few days ago many of the leading Re
publicans of that state including Con-
gresham Charles A. Towne, of Duluth.
whose speech in congress last winter
electrified the whole country; the Hon.
John Lind, ex-congressman from the
Second District, the Hon. Frank A.
Day, Lieutenant governor; the Hon.
Frank NJ. Nye, the late Bill Nye's broth
er, and hundreds of others leading Re-
publicans, including many state senators
and members of the Legislature joined
in signing a manifesto renouncing all
allegiance to the Republican party.
Such defections in Republican strong
holds will certainly result in the defeat
of the Republican national ticket.

SENATOR JONES, of Arkansas, express
es the enthusiastic belief that the Chi
cago ticket will win in November. He
says: 1.-The convention has declared
for free silver and a tariff for revenue
only, and there is no question of our
victory. By adopting a sixteen to one
platform we absorb the Populist party
and will carry all of their states, think.
except possibly Kansas, which has a ten
dency to break into the Republican col
umn again, However, this has never
been counted as Populist state, and
with the bolting Republican states in the
West, which have never been tailed as
Democratic, l cannot for the life of
me see where we have anything to fear
from Mckinley and Hobart"
