From John Nsnamsker's Huntingdon
speech.
This is a fearful Indictment brought
against the railroads by the millionaire
merchant seeking to become the Repub-
liean candidate for Governor. William
H. KoOntz is a railroad director and the
paid servant of the Baltimore q Ohio
Railroad Company. Mr. Koontz pre-
sided at the meeting which placed Mr..
wsnamaker IN nomination and he is an
officer Of the committee conducting Wan
amsker's campaign. Did Mr. waLa-
maker have Mr.. Koontz in mind when
he urged the farmers Of Huntingdon to
be on their guard against the stealthy
and underhand methods Of the corpora
tions: II is not surprising that Mr..
Koontz has not invited his friend Wana-
maker TO speak in Somerset ecunty.

Mr.. Gladstone is Dead.

LONDON. May l9.-Mr. Gladstone died
1t O'Clock this morning.
The passing of Mr.. Gladstone is accom-
plished. It was peaceful at the last
peaceful and majestic. Death won no
victory over the greatest Englishman of
MS time. The arch-enemy was to him a
friend and re ugs, whose coming he had
longed for and whose presence brought
only infinite solace. His pathetic craving
for peace, which has wrung the hearts of
his friends and the nation during his bit
ter weeks of suffering, was followed by a
calm joy at the advent Of the messenger
of release, which robbed his deathbed Of
all sadness.
The grandeur Of the Grand Old Man,
say those who saw him during his last
hours, was calm and sublime as he wei
coined the final summons.

There is no excuse for misunderstand-
ing the issue at the approaching pri-
mary election. This Is the peoples bat
tie, and the people are going into it
with full understanding of the situa-
tion.
There are two sets of delegates to
the State convention. One set, Messrs.
Good, Barron and Cook, represent the
faction in this county that has for years
been acting in the capacity Of helper
TO the Democratic machine and which
has at intervals betrayed and knitted
Republican candidates in this county
for the past fifteen years. If elected,
they will support the candidacy OF John
Wanamaker, and viii follow him in
his support of an independent State
ticket this fall. The other set, Messrs.
Peck, Hoover and Wagner, il elected,
will go into the State convention pIedg-
ed to the support of the soldier and
statesman, the friend of the farmer and
the laboring man, Col. w. A. Stone,
and they should receive the support OF
every loyal Republican in Somerset
county.

WANAMAKER made four political
speeches in Northampton county on
the day preceding the Republican pri-
mary. The voters answered him by
electing Quay delegates to the State
convention by majorities Of three to
one. In view of the way the voters in
other sections of the State have repu-
dated the great merchant, the pru-
dence of his local adherents in keeping
him out of Somerset county is apparent.

Bearing False Witness.
From the Pittsburg Leader.

From the Pittsburg Leader.
Mr.. Wanamaker's ceaseless iteration
and reiteration of the complaint that Col
onel W. A. Stone is Quay's man exelu-
sively is presumably supposed TO pro-
duce the same effect upon the public
mind that continual dropping does upon
stone. But, whatever the effect produced
elsewhere, here in Allegheny county. at
all events, where Colonel Stone is known
to every one and where his campaign
had its birth. the idle attempt 10 belittle
his individuality counts for nothing.
Here everybody knows that when Colo
mel Stone became a candidate for govern
or, he appealed straight to the people,
not in the name of Quay, or of any other
power within his party, but on the plat
form of his own public record, his career
as a representative of the people in con-
gress and as sturdy and consistent ex-
ponent of Republican principles. II was
understood then that Senator Quay was
friendly 10 every one of the five or six
men who were recognized as gubernato-
rial possibilities, and that he had prom
ised to give his support to the man who
showed the greatest strength in his can
vass. In the measurement of popularity
which followed throughout the State Col
onel w. A. Stone took the lead easily,
nor did he hesitate TO proclaim his inten-
tion of carrying on his fight IN the end,
even though the great influence welded
by the senior United States Senator
should be thrown into the scale against
him.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Wanamaker, piOus
and truthful Christian though he profess
es 10 be, does not scriiple TO inform rural
audiences that Colonel Stone has no
strength other than that which Quay
gives him, and that he is candidate only
by Quay's permission and Quay's in
structiOns.

ing: II do not know what the in

uegotia tions which will be instituted
in Paris, | can see no other result
than that Spain will have to relinquish
her sovereignty over not only Luzon
island, but the entire Philippine arch.

pect to be able to retain any portion
of the group. She went into the war
and lost, and now ought to be pre-
pared to suffer the consequences which
such defeat implies / regard the
Philippines as lost TO Spain, and that
being forcgonc conclusion, in my
opinion, the problem which next con.
fronts us relates to the form of govern
ment which we will give the islands,

from Paris that one of Spain's propo-
sitions to our commissioners will be
that the United States pay her $780,

COMMISSIONERS AT WORK.
Preparation For Peace negotiations at
Paris.


Paris, Oct. 1.-The United States
peace commission has taken possession
OF its working quarters, a suite of
seven rooms on the ground floor of the
Hotel Continental, at the corner of
Rue de Rivoli and the Rue Royal, com
handing the Tuileries gardens, and
formerly used by the ex-Empress Eu-
genie. American flags drape the en-
trance of the peace commissions apart
ments. The clerical force of the com
mission has been systematized and is
now working busily.
The spirit of the Paris press is daily
rendered into English for the infor-
nation of the commissioners, and the
same thing is done with the newspa-
pers of Madrid.
The commissioners are crystalizinQ
their plans and arranging all the de-
tails of the work which will be taken
up when the commissions begin their
joint sessions.
