and deyoutededly, putting all other
things aside. So we called him the fun

IL incumbent on them to play the pam

the real man was what we meant, only
we were not acquainted with the

IL his address before the runp con-
vention Mr.. +. J. Kooser is reported in
the personal organ As having said I:
at does not seem probable that this
large vote was brought out simply on
the question Of jury commissioner, di-
rector OF the poor and delegates, but a
large share must be accredited to a
protest against the wrong done 10y the
Chairman and his friends" How in
nooent the distinguished gentleman
is, to be sure. Did you not, Mr.. Koos-
or, threaten Hon. Is. ID. Miller with
Overwhelming defeat if he persevsred
in being candidate for delegate and
did you not assure him that the people
would arise Ell masse against him.
And did you not use similar language
to James NJ. Cover. And after both
had refused to aecede to your wishes
did you not ride up and down the coun-
ty together with Messrs. Shober, KIM
mel, Good, and numerous Others, cali
ing upon your friends to rise up and
crush them? Now, be honest, with
the public, Mr.. Kooser. Didn't you
parade the streets OF this town on the
day of the rump primary and hysteri-
cally proclaim that Chairman Berkley
would be buried under an avalanche OF
votes such as he never dreamed Of?
| Didn't you say that all good Iiepub-
licans would vote, while the Others
would remain away from the polls!
Didn't you urge and entreat voters to
go to the rump voting places against
their will? And weren't you just a lit
tie wee, tiny bit disappointed ''under
the conditions surrounding this cleo
tom at total vote in the county oi
only 1900. Some people are uncharita-
BILE enough to believe, Mr.. Kooser, that
the primary was called at your instance
for the purpose OF rehabilitating your
political fortunes, so fearfully jolted
last fall, when you labored to elect a
free silver representative to Congress
! from this district.

Az His Old Hams.

President Mckinley visited Canton
Friday-the first time since his Inaugural
tion for the purpose OF spending the Ma
tional Holiday-July ith-with his vener-
able mother, and as be expressed 1t ITO
enjoy a day Of rest shooting OF fire crack
ers in my own back yard The people
of Canton rendered the President n royal
welcome upon his arrival. Monday
evening the Presidential party returned
to Washington. During the morning
Mother Mckinley met with serious ac-
cident. While walking ON the porch a
piece of straw carpeting slipped as she
took step. and she fell to the floor, strik-
ing her forehead, over the eyes, ON a
door step. Although 50 years old. she
was not SO stunned but that she was able
| to rise in few moments and walk TO a
stand, where she washed away the blood
that flowed from the wound, but made
| light of the occurrence TO Miss Helen
Mckinley, who happened in. The Pres
| ident's sister, however, instantly notified
him that his mother was hurt, and find
| ing deep cash in her head, he did not
| wait 10 summon messenger, but started
in haste to secure doctor. Mother Me
Kinley continued 10 make light of the in
| jury and insisted little court plaster
would fix It. Her courage was admirable
when the doctor found the cut so deep rs
10 require sewing up. This she would
have done without taking an anesthetic.
At noon she did not seem 10 be suffering
seriously from the shock and was resting
easily.

Free Silver Campaign Plans.

NEW YORK, July 3.-The free silver
leaders are preparing TO welcome the
Bryan missionary wagons when they ar

start from Kansas and Nebraska, this
month, for the 'enemy's country and
are expected TO arrive in New York just
about the time John C. Sheehan will be
rallying the Tammany Hall tigers and
Thomas c. Plat will be engaged in
bout with the Citizens Union.
The idea of Bryan missionary wagons
and their trip from the free silver West
to the gold bug East, was the suggestion
of Walter NroOman, the author of the
book entitled "The New Democracy"
Each wagon will be accompanied by
two orators. and they will speak at every
cross road village, every town and every
city between the starting point and Wall
street.
Money is being raised in Kansas and

GENERAL CoFFRoTH should not be
too fast in constructing barracks for
the new recruits. Many of those who
participated in the fake primaries were
his oid-time coffee coolers and camp
followers whom he has always had TO
provide for, and of the balance several
hundred were loyal Republicans who
were momentarily misled, but who
will return gladly to the party fold this
fall. The officers quarters might
be slightly enlarged so rs TO provide
for "GenI" Koontz, ''COl." Kooser,
"Col." Horner and few others, and,
if "brother' Werner's bunk could be
widened 50 a. to accommodate "hrOth-
er" Berkey it might not come amiss.
But as TO the rank and file, General, we
suggest that you be not hasty in your
preparations as We think you will have
but few to provide for.

If, as Mr.. Kooser said in his fake
Convention speech, the fake primaries
were held in strict compliance with
the party rules, why were not the re-
turns of the same sent TO County
Chairman Berkley instead of TO Mr..
Kooser's brother-in-law, J. G. Ogle,
ESQ., BY what authority did Mr..
Ogle receive the returns? Did Mr..
Kooser change the rules before the fake
Convention, rs he did in the fake
Convention when he decreed that
there should hereafter be no such Off
Ger as Chairman pro tenn, but that he
should henceforth be known as Vice
Chairman. In Mr.. KoOser's estima-
lion there is not much use in having
either rules or party. He can easily
fill the place Of both.

"NEvER before in the history of this
county has there come up from the
people such a universal demand as
this demand for a primary election, y
shrieks the hysteriesl organ of Messrs.
Shober & Kooser. The unanimity OF
sentiment was very marked in two OF
the strongest Republican districts OF
the county-Conemaugh and Elk
Lick-where no elections were held.
The demand for primary i'm Summit
township, where IS out of total of 27S
voters visited the polls, was truly over
whelming, while in Meyersdale, where
81 out of total of 5l4 Republican vOt-
ers attended the rump primary, tie
demand amounted to whirlwind- In
lockwood, Salisbury, Confluence, Up
per Turkeyfoot, Middlecreek, Shade,
Milford, Stonycreek, Brothersvalley
and all of the various other voting dis
triets the demand seems 10 have
knocked the voters breathless.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1897-07-07

FoR the purpose of quilting Republi-
can voters in the various districts the
''Combiners" undertake to compare
the vote cast at the rump primary in
Somerset borough and township with
the Republican vote cast at the gener-
al election in 1894, when only 566 votes
were polled in the two districts.
For the sake of consistency and hon
esty why not compare the rump prina-
nv vote with the vote cast at the pri-
mary last March, when $50 votes were
polled in the two districts of Somerset
borough and township? Surely there
were more Democrats and non-resi-
dents voted at the rump primary than
voted for Mr.. KoOser year ago. Or il
this will not do, and comparison is
sought 10y universal demand of the
people," why not compare the rump
primary AZ votes with the vote polled
for Mckinley, 7Ss in the two districts
mentioned.
No, gentlemen your every day
friends and neighbors, those who are
acquainted with your political records
and characters, refused to be led by
your apron strings.
