differences existing between employer and
employe will soon be reached. Labor should
always receive its prOpOrtiOnate share from
the profit Of the industry in which 10 is EN-
ployed aud legislation should be enacted to
reach this end.
We commit ourselves to an honest and
capable administration Of public affairs and
denounce every aud any form of corruption
in office Some of the practices known to be
carried on by public officials and have their
origin in Democratic rule, and il is our deter
mined purpose TO eradicate the evils not
already wiped out
We adhere TO the stand which our party
has taken in favor of a nOn-partisan judic-
larry, as the term of the judge of the Court
Of Common Pleas of this judicial district will
expire with the close of the present year
and we recognize in him an honest and
impartial judge who has always discharged
the responsible duties of his high office
faithfully, efficiently and with marked
ability. We recommend that the party give
him an unanimous nomination and their
united support for reelection.
We heartily endorse the administration Of
that great champion Of labor and the work
ingmen's friend William Mckinley, Presi-
dent of the United States, and predict for
him an unperishable name in the annals of
American history.
We endorse the administration Of Governor
Daniel H. Hastings and the course of our
United states Senator'S Hon. Matthew
Stanley Quay and Hon. Bois Penrose and the
Hon. Charles N Brumm, our representative
in Congress.
We condole with the family of the late
David d. Phillips, who was a lifelong active
and consistent Republican and for a number
of years a recognized leader of our party,
and hereby extend to them our sympathies,
all of which is respectfully submitted.
Recognizing the long and able services of
Hon Charles N. Brumm, member of Congress
from this district, and feeling that he is
worthy of the highest honor within the gift
of the Republicans of Pennsylvania, we
most heartily present his name as our choice
for Governor of this Commonwealth.
Whereas, The name of John L. Finney,
the proprietor of the Daily Minera' journal,
a Republican organ of unquestioned fidelity,
has been mentioned for the appointment of
Naval Officer Of tho Port of Philadelphia,
and we recognize in him diligent and ef-
fective worker Of the Republican party, and
| further that he has been endorsed for such
appointment by many Republican organiza-
tiOns Therefore be it Resolved, That we
hereby give him our unqualified endorsement
and call upon our U. S. Senators and Con-
gressmen TO do their utmost to secure the ap-
pointment.

COLLECTOR BEATEN.
A. II. Roads Assaulted BY Delinquent
Tenant and Retaliates.

Tenant and Retaliates.
Yesterday afternoon A. II. Roads went to
the houses at the flats" on West Coal street
owned by NJ p Fowler to collect rents and
one of the places visited was the house oc-
cupied by Thomas Clemmens. He was told
by Mrs. Clemmens that her husband was
absent but would return shortly Roads took
a seat to await the return. Soon after Glenn
mems entered. He was in fighting trim and, it
is said assaulted Roads without proyocation.
The latter is tall and heavy built man, but
handicapped by age. His hair is white.
Clemmens is a raw-boned man standing fully
six feet high, and probably about As years of
age. Roads was formerly Chief of Police of
this town and the experience earned in that
position with the heavy cane he carried
stood him well in resisting the assault. By
we'll directed blows he succeeded in backen-
ing one of Clemmens' eyes and then got out of
the house. Clemmens followed Roads to "a
neighboring house and there was another
tussel. This time Clemmens got hold on
Roads throat and the situation was getting
pretty serious for the aged collector when a
man named Snyder interlered. Clemmens
and his wife were subsequently arrested on
Roads complaint of assault and nuisance.
Justice Toomey committed Clemmens to Jail
this morning in default of 5000 bail The
wife was released ON her own recognizance,
she having signifed willingness to vacate
the premises for which Roads went to collect
the rent. Clemmens was released from jail
but a short time ago. He was held on a
charge Of assault and battery.

Justice Toomey last night gave a hearing
to William Anjakaitis who was charged by
Mrs. Ursha Gustaitis with having feloniousy
administered chloroform to her. The Justice
did not think that the evidence as to the
chloroforming was sufficient and allowed the
accused to settle the case by paying the costs.
Anjakaitis says that he went to the woman s
room to awaken her because her child was
crying and she became frightened whom she
saw him standing beside her bed and tainted
He admitted he made a second visit to her
room, but said he heard a disturbance in
front of the house and went down stairs to
ascertain the cause. To leave his own room,
he said, he was obliged to pass through that
occupied by Mrs. Gustaitis.
