Elect All Republican Representatives

Every day now is developing new
steps in the campaign. 1t is apparent
that the Republicans do not propose to
lose any ground in this part of the State
through apathy. The opposition has
nothing substantial to urge against Re-
publicanism, and the people know it.,
while the Democrats have nothing
themselves to commend them to re-
turn to power.
The hardest times the people of this
country ever had was when the last
Democratic president elected was back
ed up by free trade congress. The
country does not want any more of it,
They want Republicans in the different
branches of the legislative department
now to work with the Republican pre-
sident. We want Republicans in every
legislative district in the land, congress
sional and state, and national progress
will prevail. There is strength at stake
to cause the people to awaken and see
to it that no ground is lost.-DuBois
Courier.

Some Good Advice.

Mondays Cleveland Leader contains
the following editorial:
Joseph @. Sibley has agreed to stand
as the Democratic candidate for con-
gresham in the twenth-seventh Penn
sylvania district, and, we are sorry to
say, it is reported that he was induced
to become a candidate by promises of
support from Republicans in his dis
trict
Joseph G. Sibley ought not to get a
single Republican vote, for his election
would serve no good purpose, and it
would be hailed everywhere as a vic
tory for the most pernicious principle
the Democratic party has ever advo-
Gated. Sibley is, moreover, scarcely
n Democrat. He was elected to con-
gress four years ago as Populist, and
became Bryan Democrat in 1896. He
is radical free silverite and is opposed
to everything which the Republican
party has ever advocated or any de-
cent Republican believes in.
''To the Republicans of the twenty
seventh Pennsylvania district who are
thinking of giving their support to this
Popocratic candidate the Leader says
Don't. The place to settle their quar-
reIs is at the caucuses or in the conven-
ton. When candidate is fairly chosen
by his party he is entitled to the sup
port Of all its membres at the polls"

BRIEF NENTION.

county ticket are calling on the voters
and are being well received. The cor
'diality with which the voters are re-
ceiving the candidates clearly demon
strates that this is Republican year.
Chas. NJ. Thomas, the Republican
candidate for County Treasurer, is
making an honorable canvass. Mr..
Thomas has resided in Cameron county
for upwards of twenty-five years and
is successful lumberman. That he
will be elected goes without saying
John Mcdonald, the Republican
candidate for Associate Judge, will call
on the voters this week. Mr.. Nc
Donald is very efficient gentleman in
any position he may be called upon to
fill. Vote for him.

Independent Republicans Opinion.


There is probably not Republican
in Cameron county who does not most
heartily endorse the course of William
McKinley's administration. The far
reaching craftsmanship displayed by
VIM. Mckinley, the power to reason
clearly and calmly, and to act with
judicial fairness and firmness, for the
best present and future interest of q
great nation, called suddenly to decide
questions of momentOus import has
surprised the friends of the President
and well nigh confounded his detrac-
tors. And yet, there may be some
voters who, at first thought, do not
realize that q vote for q Democratic
Assemblyman in this county is a vote
to tie the President of the United
States hand and foot in the next Con-
gress. There is too much at stake
this year to take any chances. A vote
against the Hon. Henry H. Mullin in
Cameron county this fall is a vote to
send Democratic Senator to Wash
ington next year; vote to send man
to Washington to oppose the President
in his great and glorious policy of
expansion and freedom to all people
who come within our sphere of in
fuence; vote for Democratic u. S.
Senate, a vote in favor of exhibiting
ourselves abroad as a BOBBY people
who are afraid to accept the fruits of
their victory, or too egregiously idiotic
to understand that there is any fruit.
By all the fires of patriotism; by all the
blood shed by our heroes at El Caney
and Manila this is of all years the
wrong year to vote anything but the
straight Republican ticket.
And where in Cameron county can
we find better man to send to Harris
burg than Henry H. Mullin; where a
man who keeps in closer touch with
his constituents and with the great
heart of the laboring people?
We can can find no better, no filter
man in Cameron county, because
there is no better man.
