Industrial establishments of all
kinds, the great majority of which
were idle at the time of the Inaugural
ton of Mr.. Mckinley as president"
declares the Norristown montgomery
county, Daily Herald, "are now busily
engaged in making goods which are
being shipped to other countries, there
by affording profitable employment for
labor, which is just what is desired.
1t would be a very strange blunder
on the part of workingmen to ignore
these facts and vote the Democratic
ticket, thus endangering the excellent
prospects they now enjoy.
"This is blunder they are not at
all likely to make. They have no de-
sire to restore the discredited Democ-
racy to power. Business is active;
capital has confidence in the adminis-
tration; labor is reaping the benefit
in abundant employment at fair wages.
The intelligent laboring man will not
vote to return to the privation, pow
erty and hard times of three or four
years preceding the advent of the Re-
publican party to power.
The country cannot afford to try
any doubtful experiments, either now
or next year. Workingmen cannot af-
ford to run the risk of loss of en-
ployment by voting the Democratic
ticket. The Republican party has we'll
redeemed its promises and it will re-
ceive vote of confidence therefor"
IN BUSINESS FOR THEMSELVES.
1T is not very remarkable that the
Democratic leaders are just now shout
ing in favor of fusion" says the
Doylestown Bucks county, Daily Re-
publican. They hope to be the gamers
thereby. That's the whole matter in a
nutshell. The Democrats never want
fusion unless they see some benefit
to themselves. Last winter during the
session of the legislature the Demo-
Gratis stood solidly and stubbornly
alone when by cooperation they might
have been the means of electing Uni
ted States senator. But they knew
that if they gave their support outside
their own party the successful candi
date must be Republican No fusion
under those circumstances. The state
leaders positively forbid it. Now, how
ever, they counsel fusion wherever
there is an opportunity to gain some
thing or possibility of winning with
the aid of the malcontents of other par
ties. The Democratic party is in busi-
ness for what there is in it for them
selves
GREASY BOOM A FIZZLE.
"The Republican campaign for state
and county offices has opened" says
the Mount Carmel Carbon county,
Daily News. "All factions of the party
are united in the battle to be waged
this fall. Quayites and anti-Quayites
are all lined UP for the whole ticket.
Greasy the Democratic candidate for
state treasurer. has failed to arouse
any enthusiasm by his Trades on Re
publicans and Republican principles.
The people in his home county know
him too we'll to expect anything out
of the ordinary from him, and they
refuse to be aroused, and the rest of the
state is not interested outside of his
own party Colonel Barnett has been
receiving the usual reception accorded
to brilliant young Republicans in this
state, and will be elected by more than
an off year majority"
LESSON FOR REPUBLICANS.
Montgomery Democrats have no
show of late years." says the Norris
town montgomery county, Daily f1er-
aid, except when their Republican op-
ponents are divided, as in 1898, when
two legislative tickets were presented
for Republican support, and Demo-
cratic senator and three assemblymen
were chosen. Last years experience
had it's lesson for Republicans, and
there is no repetition of the tactics
which benefited the Democracy at that
time. The harmony prevailing in Re-
publican councils this year leaves De-
mocracy without shadow of hope on
election day. Every Republican should
regard it as his duty to assist in MAX
ing his partys majority as large as
possible"
FOR PARTY UNITY.
Good Republicans are tired of fac
tional politics. They want to give at
tention to bigger and broader issues
They want to prepare for the national
election, more important than so sena-
tors, for it involves the administra-
tion of the government for four years
to come. They want their party uni
ted, and they want men to represent
them who are in favor of uniting 1t,
