THF STAND BY MUKINLY ORY.

When the President issued his call
for volunteers, to free the suffering
Cubans, and thus maintain the honor
of the United States and the glory OF
our flag, Lieutenant Polk responded
to the call of duty, leaving his home
and family, laid aside his business in
terests and placed his life at the dis.
posai of the President in the service
of our Country. How amusing it is
to note the frantic efforts of his Mil
lionaire opponent who remained at
his palatial home surrounded by all the
comforts and luxurles that lavish
wealth can produce, waiting until all
danger is past and then offering his
Congressional services, that he may
get his share of the "Government
Pap" which Mckinley and Hanna will
lade out to rich corporations in the
way Of foreign contracts, and is now
advertising on his placards,
svoTE FOR wooDIN AND STAND BY
MCKINLEY.
This may hood wink a few Repub-
licans but Mr.. Woodin with his Patent
Medicine Advertising Methods can
not fool the Democrats and old sold
iers. They are proud of their candl-
date and will cast solid vote on the
9Th of November for Rufus K. Polk
and the whole Democratic ticket.

A Campaign SIander Refuted.
Mr.. Polk Denies the Charge That Woodins
Private Secretary Was Bribed in
His Interest.

Ny attention has been called to
articles in Philadelphia papers, charg-
ing me, or my immediate friends, with
an attempt to buy the services of the
private secretary of w. H. Woodin,
my opponent for Congressional hon
ors, in this, the 18TH district. This
charge has been made either wilfully
and maliciously, knowing that there
was not any foundation for the accus-
alton, or recklessly, without inquiry
as to the facts, on mere rumor, but
with intent to injure the reputation of
another. My personal knowledge of
the matter is, briefly, this: On or
about the 27th ult. a young man
called upon me, representing that he
had been the private secretary of Mr..
Woodin had been dismissed by him
and unfairly treated; and that he
now desired to enter my service stat
ing that he could give valuable inform
alton, and information that would be
damaging to Woodin, etc. Istated to
him that in the circumstances l could
not honorably employ him; that I
would not entertain the proposal for
a moment. A day or two thereafter l
received a letter from the young man,
asking me to reconsider my declina-
tion of his offer, to which replied
that l would have nothing to do with
the matter. These letters are open
to inspection by every one. l had
not thought to pay any attention to
the matter, and now only do so out of
Difference to my friends.
K. K. Polk.

The merchants, farmers, miners and
laborers do not ask for any congress
ional favors or special legislation, they
demand however fair treatment, equal
rights and justice and do not propose
to send men to the Legislature, Sen
ate or Congress who they know will
be dead against their interests if
elected. They want honest faithful
men to represent them. Men who
cannot be used as the direct tools for
Corporations and who do not wear
the Political Collar of any Trust,
Monopoly or Company Store. The
people are aroused, they know what
they want, and know that their inter
ests will be best served by vote for
Polk and Cochran, Greasy and Chris
man and the whole Democratic ticket.
Their purpose is intelligentlv and
honestly fixed, and the barrels of Re-
publican Doodle, the bushels OF cam
paign buttons and badges, the army
of paid political hee!ers, cannot
change their honest intention. The
corrupt electioneering methods now
being used by Republican candidates
are looked upon by the honest voters
as an insult TO their honesty and in
telligence, which they will lrepudiate at
the polls on the Sth OF November by
sweeping victory for Democracy and
the whole people. The Democrats of
Columbia County may be poor, as
alleged, but to them principle and
honor is dearer than Gold and their
votes cannot be bought. They will
vote the straight Democratic ticket.

HISTORY WILL REPEAT ITSELF

William A. Stone, Republican can
didate for Governor, made a speech
In the Opera House on Monday.
George w. Delamater, Republican
candidate for Governor in 1890, made
a speech in the Opera House, during
his campaign.
Stones meeting was at midday.
So was Delamater's.
Stone told the people that he would
be the next Governor. Just what
Delamater said.
Delamater was defeated by the
Democratic candidate.
That's what is going to happen to
Stone.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1898-11-03
The Congressional Fight.

Every effort should be made by
the Democracy to recapture the 18TH
Congressional District. When we
remember that Mr.. Wolverton was
twice elected Congressman from
this district by majorities running
up into the thousands, and that the
normal Democratic majority ought
to ensure a Democratic member
from this district, there is every
hope that Mr.. Polk will be elected
if the Democrats do their duty.
Mr.. Woodin has not the phenome-
nal popularity that Mr.. Kulp dis
played, nor is he a "vote getter
i'll the sense that the lively Con-
gressman from Shamokin proved
himself to be. Kulp's candidacy
was a revelation, even to old poll
ticians, and while he was in the
field it did seem as if this district
was to be held i'll the Republican
column. But things are different
now. Woodin is as unknown to
politics as Polk, i'll fact, even more
so, as Polk has at least been a can
didate for the honor before. Nor
is Woodin's personal popularity
anything like Kulp's, while Polk
has in addition to the popularity
which creditable candidate always
has at his home, the additional at
traction of the United States Vol
unteer. The man who is willing
to place his life at the service of his
country is not one to willingly jeop-
ardize any of its interests in a legis-
lative capacity, and Polk will surely
regard the interests of his country
in his official acts. Besides, he will
be needed addition to the forces
of Democracy in Congress. There
is very we'll defined hope that the
Democrats may secure majority
i'll the next Congress in the lower
House, and every effort should be
put forth to secure that desirable
result. Mr.. Polk is straight on all
the lines of Democratic principle,
as they are now understood, and
every good party man should give
him his fullest support. Were this
to be done, the result of the con-
test would not be i'll doubt. North
cumberland county cannot roll up
such majority for Woodin as it
gave to Kulp, and with only the
normal Democratic majorities in the
other three counties, Polk S election
would be assured. But Polk will
poll more than the normal Demo-
cratic majority i'll Montour, and re-
ports from Columbia indicate that
he will receive a very fattering
vote in that strong Democratic
county. Do not be misled into
overconfdence, however. 1t has
wrecked many promising CAM
paign. Relax no effort until the
day of election, and we will find
this Congressional district redeemed,
and the name of Our Congressman
will be Rufus K. Polk.-DanviHe
MtelAgeneer.

OUR STATE SENATOR.

This Senatorial District being
strongly Democratic, and having for
our Candidate the broad-minded,
honorable, generous hearted Cochran,
of Williamsport. the feeble efforts Of
the opposition grow weaker and more
Intellectual as the time for Election
draws near
The people have learned that in
MIR. Cochran they have a tried and
true friend. They are particularly
fortunate in having secured the ser
vices of man who possesses the at
tributes of a Statesman in a high de-
gree.
He understands the business inter
ests OF the State, and he understands
the wants of the laboring classes,
having himself, in the beginning of
his career, been a laboring man.
While in the Senate his whole aim
has been to work for the enacting of
such laws as would prove beneficial to
his District and the State. and he has
been a determined opponent of all
obnoxious Legislation.
In short Mr.. Cochran is clean,
concientious representative OF all
people and the people will take care
that he be returned to the Senate.
Vote for ]. Henry Cochran for
Senator, November 9th. Vote the
straight Democratic ricket and you
will make no mistake.

honest confession of tine truth would,
at least, evlnce courage and gratitude
