Major Brown for Senator.

The Republican Senatorial confer.
ence Of this district-Cameron. Clar.
ion, Fix and Forest counties - was
held in Ridgway in the evening If
the 22nd inst, resulting in the choice
of Major j. q. Brown ofClarion coun.
ty, as the nominee for the district
The choice is a very judicious one
since the nominee is known to be one
of the most popular and upright citi.
zens of that county, who will carry
an immense vote in every section
where he is known. While the dis.
trict has heretofore been largely
Democratic, it required the trading
of every candidate, Governor, Con-
gress aud all, to save Mr.. Hyde, the
present Democratic incumbent, from
defeat at the election four years ago
and it was only accomplished then by
a bare hundred majority. This car
be overcome very easily, since the
nomination Of the Democratic candi.
date, Mr.. Neeley Of Clarion, is one
which is not at all popular, and which
was dictated wholly by Hall of Elk
after be had been nominat ed for Con
gress. Forest county was given to
understand that she was too small
and must not expect 10 get such
plums oftener than one year in thirty
1t remains to be seen whether the
people will stand such highaDdeC
dictatiou.

ONE of DR.. Swallows indictments
ag .inst the Republican party is that
the State pays more for supplies to
certain favored contractors than the
same goods can be purchased for in
open market In his speeches be
endeavors to make much of this item
10 his platform, Every one who
cares to investigate the matter knows
that the State pays less for supplies
than individuals pay for the same
goods. DR.. Swallow has a store in
Harrisburg and sells stationery, ETC.
Some time since w. H. Heckendorn,
Deputy Factory Inspector, asked
DR.. Swallows house for bids for sup
plies, including several varieties of
writing paper, pens, inks, rules,
paper weights, etc., for his depart
ment. The bid for the goods was
sent in and an investigation disclosed
the fact that in evary instance
Swallows prices were higher than
the state was paying for the some
goods % so,Ae articles DIR. Swal.
lows prices we're 100 per cent.
higher, and in no instance we're the
prices quoted as low, by 10 per cent.
as the State paid The ether con-
tractors. OF course Swallow did not
get the contract. But the prices his
house quoted showed that he was not
in business for his health, especially
when the State government wanted
goods from his store.
A comparison Of Swallows prices,
with the prices paid by the depart.
ment, killed one of his lying asser-
tions too dead to skin.
And, by the way, his other charges
against the Republican party and its
leaders, are on par with the above
and do not come any nearer the
truth.

A CRITICAL TIME

During the Battle Of Santiago Sick or Well,
Rush Night and Day. The Packers mt the
Battle of Santiago de Cuba were all He
rOes. Their Heroic Efforts in Getting AM
unitiOn and Rations to the Front Saved the
Day.
P. K. Butler, of pack train No. 8, writ
ing from Santiago De Cuba, on July 23d,
says: "We all had diarrhea in more or
less violent form, and when we landed
we had no time to see doctor, for it was
a case of rush and rush night and day to
keep the troops supplied with ammunition
and rations, but thanks to Chamberlain Is
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhpa Remedy, we
were able to keep at work and keep oui
health in fact, sincerely believe that al
one critical time this medicine was the
direct saviour OF our army, for if the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting sup.
plies to the front. There were no roads
that wagon train could use. My COM
rade and myself had the good fortune tC
lay in supply of this medicine for our
pack train before we left Tampa, and
know in four cases it absolutely saved
life."

tory since the'civil war-those were the
pure in heart, the sanctified and the pa
triots of the country. The Democrats
who in 1896 forsook the sound money
Democratic principle for which that party
has always Heretofore contended, who
followed Bryan and his free coinage craze
and attempted to debauch our currency
to reduce prices and demoralize the
finances OF our country, to cheapen labor
and reduce days work in the country, to
repudiate our money-these were alone
the honest, the pure in heart and the
sanctified Democrats of the country.
1 do not often pose as defender of
Democrats, but it is my duty and the
duty of every loyal man in the country to
correct this statement of my opponent
and to denounce it as unfair to the men
who in separating from the Democratic
party and uniting and afliliating for the
time with the only party organization
that promises prosperity and salvation
to the country, were not only patriotic,
but preferred their country to their party
and were not tempted by the spoils of Of
flee, but were alone tempted by the love
of their country and OF the flag of our
Nation.
They stand in the State an independent
fearless body of men who have evidenced
their desire TO be influenced by principle
and patriotism more than by party.

Kinley in 1896 and saw his triumph
largely through their own political actor

who stood by Sam Randall and hav,
lived to see his doctrines triumph anC

that he will take action to deny that h
ever made sny such charge against men
who, in my Judgment, have not onl,
demonstrated that their motives in leav
ing the Democratic party were pure an
honest, but that their patriotism and low
of country were alone the influence
which guided them. Such men the Re
publican party always welcomes with a
outstretched and eager hand. We ar
glad to have them affiliate with us. The

Col. Stones Pat Answers.

Col. w. A. Stone, the gallant
standard carer of the Republican
party in Pennsylvania, thus makes
answer to Prohibition candidate
Swallows recent challenge to discuss
alleged political misdemeanors on the
stump:
81 am not surprised that you have
omitted prohibition as an issue, but |
am surprised that the Prohibition
party, which nominated you upon
that issue, should so soon forget the
purposes and objects of their organi'
cation an I follow it in a crusade
which entirely ignores prohibition.
You challenge me to discuss twelve
declarations or charges upon the
stump. All ofyour twelve declara'
tions charge crimes and misdemean'
ors which may be severely punished
under the laws of the state.
"You do not name the offenders,
nor the time when these crimes and
misdemeanors were committed, but
claim to have knowledge of them and
to have evidence to substantiate them,
l have no such knowledge except
your unsupported statements, which
you have heretofore made, but have
been unable to sustain in courts. l
you have such knowledge of crimes
committed and have such evidence
it is your duty, not only as a gooC
citizen, but as a Christian minister, t,
lay the evidence before the CRANE
Jury of your county. The witnesses
which you propose to call in joint de
bate will be sufficient to obtain an in
dictment if they are sufficient to con
vince an intelligent audience of tn
truth of YOUR charges.
II have taken the liberty to refe
your letter to the district attorney q
Dauphen county, awaiting such az
tion as he may take 10 the matter, a:
suring YOU that if l am elected gov
ernor of Pennsylvania will hearth
cooperate in all cases to bring guilt,

crimes against the state"

The Lumber Tariff.

The Canadian Commissioners are
pressing the American Commissioners
for some reduction in the rate ofduty
on lumber. On no other branch of
trade with the United States are the
Canadians apparently SO anxious to
secure reductions. The experience
under the Den ocratic Tariff act of
1894, which put rough and sawn lum'
ber on the free list, has made them
anxious for a renewal of that privi.
lege.
As Mr.. Dingley stated in Congress
in discussion on the effect of The
Democratic Tariff on the lumber in.
terest, it not only cost the United
States Government large sum in
revenue, but it brought no benefit to
the country.
Mr., Dingley's words uttered last
year were as follows: an the year
1890 the Imports of lumber free ot
duty in this country were only S4,
250,000 in value in 1896 the impor,i
of lumber free of duty were littl,
over SIG, 100000, au increase of s12,
100000 in 1890 we received a reve
nue. of 81, ,250,O0O from lumber, aO'
in 1896 only $4,000. That
to say, we surrendered S1,500,0O0 i
revenue, and gave the Canadians tn
privilege of importing s1S,O00,OO
worth of lumber without anything ii
return" - Yorkers Statesman.

Col. Stones Reply to Mr.. jerks.

In his speech at the Ly coming county
fair, on the 23d inst, Col. Stone paid
some attention to Mr.. jerks in the fol-
lowing approved style:
In the speech delivered by Mr.. jerks,
my opponent, at New Castle on Wednes-
day, he is reported by the newspapers
to have said: "The Republican and
Democratic parties were in the first in-
stance made up of men equally endowed
with common honesty, but the tempta-
ton of spoils has taken from the Demo-
cratic party many Of those who otherwise
would have been Democrats, hence the
Democratic party has been purified to a
great extent of those who thought of
themselves only and have forsaken its
ranks. Those who remained were sane
tilted with the principle of liberty. They
have built up a nation that never before
existed on the earth and they adhere to
the right. although in the minority"
Here, then, is assigned the reason by
my respected opponent that led large
number of Democrats in 1861 to leave the
Democratic party and become Repubi-
cans. In other words, it is charged that
the Democrats who stood up with Lin
coin in 1861 and supported tn govern
ment in its trying ordeal and left the
Democratic party and became Republi-
cans, were influenced alone by the temp
tation of spoils. And again those DEM
ocrats who followed Sam Randall in
Pennsylvania in his support o. the pro.
tective tariff and stood like wall against
their own party organization-these men
with Sam Randall at their head, we are
told were influenced by the temptation
: of Office spoils. And again the Democrats
who in 1896 refused to support the free
coinage craze, who remained loyal to the
sound money and to the main principle
: for which their party had always thereto
fore contended-these men who stood III
against free coinage andBryan, these mer
who thought more of their country thai
their party, these men who refused to b.

Fitted 10 Rule the Sea.

The great triumph of our navy in
the recent war have led the Ameri.
can people to regard our American
sailors with honor and admiration.
Before the glorious victory at Manila
the American people had regarded
our navy as an unknown quantity ;
foreigners had not regarded it at all.
The history Of the war of 1872 should
have taught them all better. To day
they know better. They know that,
man for man, our navy has no super
ior, perhaps no equal. This is only
in line with American traditions.
In view of the fact that Americans
have always showed themselves fitted
to rule the sea, it is strange that the
