Mr.. JOHN WANAMAKER has not yet
made public his decision as to whether
or not ne will accept the call of the
Taxpayers Union 10 be their candidate
for Governor, and as a consequence
''the venerable General KOontz,n as
the BrOokville Republican styles him,
has not yet, in his capacity as President
Of the Taxpayers Union, appointed an
Executive Committee of nine members
TO conduct the ensuing campaign"
In the meantime the Republicans in
the various counties in the State are
holding their primary elections, and
the two Stones, William A. and Charles
w, are good-naturedly contesting for
the delegates at almost every primary.
From present indications both will go
into the Convention with the support
Of large number of delegates, and,
should either he nominated, the other
will eheerfully acq1iesce in the nomi-
nation, or that of any ether candidate.
and will earnestly support the nomi-
Bees of the Convention.
If President KOontz ever appoints
his Executive Committee OF nine men,

paign," it viii be after the State Con
ventiOn has made its nominations, and
the "ensuing campaign" viii be con-
Quoted in the interests OF Mr.. Wana-

Spent Too Much On Election.

SPRINdFIELD, O., March 4.-The Circuit
Court has handed down a judgment to
oust Mayor John NJ. Good, Democrat,
for violation Of the Garfield law govern
ing corrupt election practices. This is
the first time in the United States that
any mayor has been ousted from Office for
spending too much money at election.
Judge Adams. of GAINESVILLE, reported the
finding. The evidence proved that j. S.
Elliot, a member of the Board of Public
Affairs, gave Captain Rudd, Of the Bush
nell Guards (colored) s25; that ex- Mayor
Burnett spent SIS for drinks at Grier's
saloon and s45 at Red Cross dance for
drinks, and that beer was bought at vari-
ous other places. The total of S2SS was
expended. The Office was declared va
cant, to take effect in five days. The
Garfield law was recently declared con-
stitutional by the Supreme Court AIT
limits the expenses of money by can
didate to 500 to each five Thousand voters.
City Council will appoint mayor to serve
until the spring election.

THE Republican primary election in
Blair county will take place on Satur-
day of next week. c. w. Stone has
announced his candidacy for Governor
and will be voted for along with the
other candidates, and it is said that W.
A. Stone will also announce, and that
the contest for the Blair delegates will
be between the two Stones. Alvin Ev-
ans, Esq, has announced as a eandi-
date for Congress, and will contest with
Congressman Hicks and y. p. Mervine
for the Congressional COnferrees from
that county. Some thirty candidates
have announced for the various posi-
tiOns to be filed. The outcome of the
Congressional contest will be watched
with much interest by the Republican
politicians in the other counties of the
district. Should Congressman Hicks
fail TO carry his own county he would
be practically eliminated from the con-
test for the district nomination, while
if Mr.. Evans should carry Blair he
would go into the conference with six
cOnferrees, for it is conceded that he
will get the conferrees from his own
county lCambria), and would thus be
In position to control the nomination.
If he couldn't land the nomination
himself he could at least name the win
Der. Should Mr.. Mervine win in his
own county it would be anybody's fight
in the district conference.

misdemeanor cases against Controller
Severn and County Commissioners Rentz,
Martin aud Meyers on condition that
they would resign from Office fell through
by reason of Charles Meyers, one of the
defendants, refusing to comply with the
agreement. He retained new counsel 10
defend him next week at the trial. The
Taxpayers Association refuses to show
any leniency to the convicted Commis-
sioners. Messrs. Rentz and Martin, and
former Commissioner Allen at this time,
contendiug tits too late, after the cost
and annoyance of trial has been incur
red, TO look for mercy. The withdrawal Of
Meyers from the agreement to settle has
caused much CONSERVATION among the

An Interesting Fact Brought to Light b

The Maine catastrophe has brought to
light some interesting facts concerning
the means employed by a great newspa-
per to meet the demands of the public for
quick, foil and accurate information con-
cerning that disaster. Although receiv-
ing the complete report of the news
gathering organizations, 1.-THE Philadel-
phia Press is also giving exclusively to
its readers daily dispatches from the most
brilliant corps of special correspondents
and artists ever massed on single piece
of news. This includes Ralph ID. Paine,
Julian Hawthorne, Carl Decker, Sylves-
ter Seovei and Louis Ruyl at Havana and
Key West; E. J. Gibson and his assist
ants at Washington Julian Ralph, at
London, and equally welIiniorrned rep
resenta,ives at the other points at which
news is likely to be obtained. tits some
times said that Philadelphia is '.slow,"
but there is nothing slow in the enter
prise which enables "The Philadelphia
Press to set up the claim that it is lead
ing all the other newspapers in the coun-
try ia the promptness aud reliability Of
its news about the Maine, and that il is the
only newspaper which commands the
services of all the writers aud artists
named.

THE Indiana Gold Democrats, at
their late conference, decided TO stick
to their organization, and put up can
didate for Congress in each district of
that State this year. This is an excel
lent example for the Cleveland and
Palmer Democrats of the country. If
they should do this in every State they
would keep the dishonest money vote
in the House of the next Congress down
to small figures. They ought to do so
in every Northern and Western State
at least, and in the olG border States.
A sweeping defeat for the Bryanites
next November would drive the base
money issue elernally out of politics.
This is an end for which every true fol-
lower of Jefferson and Jackson should
labor.
