Let no Republican be misled. The
question of the hour is not the downing
of Quay but the upholding of McKin-
ley. Where is the Republican who
will knife Mckinley or betray his
party? Where is the sound money
Independent who will violate his con-
victions and court national disaster ?

Let's see, in 1860, when the Republi-
cans took the State from the Democrats
they had to shoulder a debt of $40, O00,-
900. To-day that debt has been reduced

| herculean "dishonesty'' and ''thef1'
| practiced to have accomplished this
wonderfully favorable showing

The Republicans can't afford to allow

influence them so far that they are

national affairs. One mans vote may
count little, but one mans opinion to
sway the minds of other men may be
of serious import. Chron-

The hope that Republican apathy
may render Democratic triumph pos
sible, is stimulating the opponents of
| Republicanism to unusual effort. No
effort is being spared to induce every
democrat to go to the polls and cast
his ballot for the party ticket. There
is but one way to meet such efforts and
that is by getting out the full Republi-
can vote. e.-Norristow Herald.
This year, when all the rumor and
clamor and accusation. which have
been maliciously injected into the can
vass, is sifted down, no fact appears
which reflects in any degree upon the
Republican State ticket. The worst
that can been said against the nominee
for Governor, Col. Stone, is that he has
been friendly to Senator Quay, but so
has Hastings been and so has McKin-
ley. 1t is not asserted that Stone is

So far in the county campaign Re-
publicans have sensihly put aside all
factional strife and grievance in their
support of the ticket, and the dissen-
sions existing in the State campaign
have not been permitted to be raised
in the personal fitness of the candidates
for the offices for which they have been
named. The Republicans of the entire
county are united in one solid phlanX

Those who cannot see an intimate
relation between the diplomatic game
now in progress at Paris and the polit-
ical game being waged in several states
in this country are short-sighted in

it is undeniable, and we submit the

1t does not appear from the evidence

which were not fully secured, and paid

Those who oppose the reelection of
Senator Quay has an undoubted right
to do go. If thev oppose him as Re

another Republican candidate for the
