Take the Money.

Next Tuesday is election day. Dur
ing the past week, and from now until
election, every effort has been and will
be made to obtain Democratic votes
for Republican candidates. 1t is cur
rently reported tnat money is being
lavish!y used to influence Democrats
to split their tickets. While it is not
honest TO take money that is not earn
ed for any purpose, it is more honest
for poor man TO accep- money for
political support than it is for wealthy
man to offer it, and it is also more
honorable. Any self respecting man
who is offered money for his vote
should take it as an insult, and spurn
the offer with indignation. OF course
the heelers and FOUNDERS who make a
business of getting all they can out of
all the candidates, irrespective of party
will not be insulted by such an offer.
But since there is a "bar'r' in this
campaign, our advice to Democrats
who may be approached, is to take all
the money that is offered, and then
go to the polls on Tuesday and resent
the Insult by voting the straight
Democratic ticket.

FIRE DESTROYS TWO HOUSES.

About three O'Clock on Thursday
morning of last week the prolonged
sounding of the fire alarm, aroused
the residents of town from their slum-
bers and it was soon learned that fire
had broken out and was rapidly des-
troying house on the Light Street
road short distance above the Town
Hall, occupied by w. H. Magill. The
fire companies were quickly on hand,
but owing to the great distance of the
water plug from the burning building,
and the muddy water, which could
not be run through the engine for
several minutes, it was some time be
fore they were able to start the water.
The engine was soon in good working
order, however, and the fires extingu-
ished but not until it had entirely des-
troyed the house in which it started
and also damaging the adjoining
house owned by Harry Eshleman and
occupied by him and John Wolf
to such an extent that it will have to
be rebuilt.
1t is a mystery how it started as
Mr.. Magill and wife, had locked up
the house on Monday and gone to
Philadelphia. Nothing was saved
from the house, the furniture, clothing
and other goods, all burned up.
Mr.. Eshleman, who lived in the
lower side of the double house, also
lost his furniture, and household
goods. He had not heard the alarm,
and was awakened just in time to
save himself and two little girls. Mrs.
Eshleman was in Philadelphia at the
time.
Had it not been for a strong wind
from the south west a conhagration
could not have been avoided, because
had the next house below caught fire
the whole row consisting of six or
seven houses which are built quite
close together would probably have
been destroyed.

A Church Wedding in 0rangeville,

On last Thursday evening a MARI.
age was solcmnized in the Union
Church of Orangeville, in connection
with series of services held by Rev
A. Houtz. Although it was the inten-
ton to keep the affair secret until
after its occurrence, it however leaked
out. A wedding secret is hard okeep,
it is like mercury in a porous vase.
when the pastor entered the church,
he observed the altar stand neatly
decorated with chrysanthemum, and
an unusually large congregation was
in attendance and all seemed to wear
the expression of expectancy as though
they anticipated something more than
a sermon. At the conclusion of the
regular religious service, a wedding
hymn was sung, after which the con
tracing parties Mr.. O. S. McHenry
of Saltwater and Miss Almertie Her~
ring of Orangeville, presented them
selves before the altar for the con.
summation of their marriage VOWS.
While the oiganist played suppressed
strains of music, the beautiful church
marriage service was read and the
holy rite of marriage solemnized. The
two were made one and introduced to
the audience as man and wife. Many
warm and sincere congratulations were
expressed by the host of friends

A Stout Republican Indorsal.

From the Pittsburg Leader (Rep), oct. -.
The candidacy of George A. jerks
has been the means of causing a COM
plete union of the Democratic factions
in the work of the Gubernatorial cam.
paign. William +. Harrity and his
lieuterants are as pronounced in their
advocacy of Mr.. jerks as are Colonel
] M. Guffey and those who aided him
in the handling of the Altoona conven-
ton. On all hands it is understood
that Mr.. jerks is not politician, in
the ordinary sense of the term; that he
cares nothing about the ups and
downs of the factions in his party, and
that his one ambition in seeking the
office of governor is to acquire the
opportunity of cleansing the state gov
ernment, abolishing official criminality
and maladministrtion and restoring
the management Of public affairs to a
plain, honest business basis. The
Democratic candidate is not a new
man before the people. Under Presi-
dent Cleveland he filled the high office
of Solicitor General of the United
States and acquitted himself with dis
tinguished ability. On laying down
that Office he returned to private life,
making no endeavor to seek further
political preferment on the strength of
the success already achieved; hut the
worth of the man, his integrity, his
trustworthiness and his splendid quail.
fcations for service in an administra-
tive capacity could not be hidden
under a bushel, and, by a peculiarly
happy inspiration, the Democracy
turned to him at the moment when
the naming of an irreproachable candi-
date meant everything to that party.
Having the solid support of the
Democracy and the certainty of heavy
accessions from the Republican ranks,
Mr.. jerks prospects are unquestion-
ably OF the most promising character.
The only obstacle remaining in his
path is the disposition of many boiling
Republicans to give their support to
DR.. Swallow, the Prohibtionist, rather
than violate empty traditions by sup
porting Democrat: but this bids fair
to be removed before the campaign
reaches its climax.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1898-11-03

Several city daiies have recently
contained a dispatch furnished by w.
H. Woodin, or his friends, stating that
an effort had been made by ''promi-
nent Democrat" of this county to
bribe Mr.. Woodin's private secretary
to furnish letters and information con-
cerning Mr.. Woodin's canvass, to Mr..
Polk. On the 4th page appears Mr..
Polk's statement of the matter, and
his denial of the charge. The private
secretary had a row with Woodin,
and then tried to sell out for spite, or
else the whole thing was scheme to
trap Polk. Whichever way it is, the
thing was a flat failure, and will react
upon those who instigated it.

INOkEASE HIS MAJORITY.
Senator Cochran Deserves a Unanimous
Vote in His Home County.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Senator Cochran, of the Lycoming
district will, Of course, be reelected,
but his faithful services to the state
during his present term fairly entitle
hlm to a verdict from the people of
his district that will strongly emphasize
their appreciation of his ability and
fidelity to public servant.
Senator Cochran's district is strong
ly Democratic and he is cordially sup
ported by all shades of Democratic
sentiment, and as he we'll deserves. He
will be greatly needed in the next sen.
ate and his influence and usefulness as
legislator would be much strength
ened by his return to his public duties
with largely increased majority.
The next legislature will have excep-
tionally important duties to perform,
and senators OF the ability and integ
rity Of Senator Cochran will have a
wide field for their Legislative efforts.
No matter who may be elected gov
ernor, the question of state reform
must be most vital one; and with an
earnest and practical Democratic lead
er like Senator Cochran and an able
and aggressive Republican leader like
Senator Henry, of this city, the reform
agitation should give substantial fruits
of the people. Senator Cochran's con-
stituents should re-commission him
for his public trust by an overwhel-
ming vote.

Republicans continue to control Con.

Republicans continue to control Con.
gress.
If the war revenue bill is to be re.
peaIed, If taxation is to be made more
equal, if the power of the trusts and
the monopolies is to be checked, if the
monster bank conspiracy is to be
throttIed, candidates who oppose the
Republican party must be elected.
The very foundation of the Repub-
lie is being sapped. The money oil
garchy is IN the saddle; they must be
unhorSed or we are lost.
We therefore call upon every honest
voter, regardless OF past political affili-
ations to go 20 the polls on election
day to save the republic. Duty calls
to us. Patriotism appeals to us. Let
us once more have a government SO
administered as to bring equal rights
to all, and to give exclusive privileges
to none. Let the decree go forth that
hencetorth ours is to be a government
not by, of, or for tine syndicates and
trusts, but of, by, and for the people.
Of the twelve million voters in this
country, more than eleven millions
are vltally concerned in the accom-
pllshment of this result.
Let their voices be heard in thun-
der tones on the Sth day of Novem-

jerks Tells What His Election Will Mean
Not Victory for Free Trade or Free S.ver,
But for Economy and Reform in State
Affairs.

| am informed that Mr.. Stone, at
Pittsburg, Saturday, announced that
my election as Governor of Penn
sylvania will be victory for free trade
and free silver and that | will SO
claim. This is not true. 1t will not
be victory for, nor will I claim it as
a victory for, either. If l did | would
be false to the platform adopted by
the Altoona convention. My cleo
ton will simply mean economy and
reform in State affairs. Votes cast
for me will express a determination
by all good citizens to drive out of
public office those who have robbed
the State and corrupted our govern
ment. My purpose is and shall be
to introduce an honest, economical,
just and fair State administration. 1
now say to all voters in Pennsylvania
who wish to vote tor me on State
issues that | do not, and will not if
elected --claim that my election indi-
Gates aught except desire for reform
in our State. National issues will be
settled in the Presidential election oi
1900. My election as Governor IN
Pennsylvania should not and shall
not be used to affect the next Presi-
dental election or the issues which
may then arise so far as l can pre-
vent.

beyond the fun limit, and DESTROYED
considerable property. In several in
stances locks were broken and doors
torn off of buildings and smashed. A
large settee in front of DR.. Purman's
house on Third Street was smashed to
splnters. Such conduct is far from
sport and if the perpetrators are
caught it will go hard with them.
