THEY POINT THE WAY.
Terse and Timely Comment Upon the Issues
Of the Day From Different Sections
of the Commonwealth.

Industrial establishments of all
| kinds, the great majority of which
were idle at the time of the inaugura-
| tion 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 atfording profitable employment for
labor, which is just what is desired
1t would be very strange blunder
on the part of worl1ingmen to ignore
these Sacts and vote the Democratic
ticket, thus endangering the excellent
prospects they now enjoy.
"This is a 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 admin
| tratiou 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 well
| redeemed its promises and it will re.
| ceive vote of confidence therefor"
IN BUSINESS FOR THEMSELVES.
at 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 a Uni
! ted States senator But they knew
! that if they gave their support outside
| their own party the successful candi-
! date must be a 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 a possibility of winning with
| the aid of the malcontents of other par
! ties. The Democratic party lis in busi-
ness for what there is in it for them
selves"
LESSON FOR REPUBLICANS.
Montgomery Democrats have no
show of late years" says the Norris

| aid, except when their Republican op-
ponents are divided, as in 1898, when
two legislative tickets were presented
for Republican support, and a 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 a shadow of hope on
election day. Every Republican should
regard it as his duty to assist in MAX
ing his party's 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 it"
says the Bryn Mawr (Montgomery
county, Home News. I'VE look for
ward, not backward. and our hope is
that the near future will bring COM
plete party unity in Pennsylvania"
"In this year of Republican pros
perity every Republican wants to go to
the polls and vote the straight ticket
from top to bottom" remarks the
Greensburg (Westmoreland county,
Press.
LOOKING BACKWARD.
"The remarkable development of the
state of Pennsylvania in the past 25
years is an everlasting monument in
