POLITICAL POINTERS.

| on every page OF the TRIBUNE TODAY
will be found interesting reading for
voters who are yet in doubt as to how
their ballots should be cast on Tuesday.
The space given to this subject is greater
than would be freely granted to any
other subject within the province of
this paper, but the question of pure
vs.. corrupt government in our fair
state is the one great issue before
the people today, and if we can aid
in placing facts before the voters
and helping them to vote right the un-
usual amount of political matter which
appears in these columns will not have
been published in vain. We ask care
full perusal of the second, third and
fourth pages of this issue by every
reader who is privileged to vote on
Tuesday.
The Philadelphia Rerord is known as
the most conservative election prophet
among the press of Philadelphia, and
makes predictions only after mature
deliberation and IL careful weighing of
all the factors OF contest. On Tuesday
last, after considering all the elements
which will enter into the gubernatorial
vote, 1T said: From this analysis OF the
political forces in Pennsylvania field and
their tendencies our readers will draw
their own conclusions. Our conclusion
is that all the indications point to the
election of George A. jerks by an over
whelming plurality, and the utter over
throw OF machine rule

candidate for representative in the
Sixth legislative district, passed through
town on Tuesday on his way home from
Conyngham and Butler valleys. He
bas been working night and day for
some weeks past, and claims that his
election is IL certainty. The district is
Democratic by good majority, but it
was carried by Representative Riley in
the Republican sweep of 1896. Nc
Andrews says he will redeem it, and the
voters should give him the help he
deserves. He will make an honest
assemblyman.
Local Republicans have been asked to
stop as many votes as possible from
going to Evans, the Prohibition legis-
lative candidate. The machine is not
afraid of Evans election but it is afraid
that the votes lost to him from Snyder
will elect Sheridan. However, it is no
easy task to get the ant-Quayites of
tho district to vote for Snyder. More
than half OF those who change their
minds about giving Evans vote will go
straight for Sheridan.
Hugh Sheridan stands on strong
anti-Quay platform. No voter who CON
scientiously desires the overthrow of
the Boss can afford to cast his ballot for
any other candidate. Sheridan is sure
to win il the people of the Fourth dis
trict consult their interests and the
interests of the state and nation.
The railroad labor organizations of
the state have united in an Endorsement
