ON THE FIRING line
Stalwart Republican Editors in the
Pennsylvania Campaign.
HOT SHOT FOR THE ENEMY
They Lead the Advance For the Battle
of the Ballots on Tuesday,
November Z.

The control Of the Democratic party
in the national and state organizations
says the Citizen Press, of Franklin, Pa.
is in the hands of the disreputable and
anarchistic element. which is placing
the honest, intelligent and patriotic
Democrats in false position, SO lone
as they silently permit their names t.
be used as the supports Of the platforms
erected and the policy expressed by the
Altgelds, Bryans and other states.
men" who assume to speak for the par
ty. However, one by one Of the here
tofore prominent Democrats are plac.
ing themselves on record as opposed to
the copperheadism which is manifest
ed by the rabid leaders Of the party
and will emphasize their protests by
voting the Republican ticket in No
vember, hoping by such action to rele-
gate to the rear the wild eye repudia-
tionists now in control. and thereby
save the party organization for the
future. This course seems to be the
only one open for them to pursue at
this time and maintain their self re-
spect.
Ex-Governor Pattison, of this state,
is the latest to repudiate the policy lafl
down for the government Of the party
by Altgeld and Bryan, points out that
patriotism is higher than party. my
duty as an American citizen" says he,
Commands my support Of the country's 3
president at this juncture. When the
president said in his Pittsburg speech
that the Philippines were just as much
American soil as were Texas and Alaska
he spoke the truth. The islands arc
ours by title of treaty, and we have no
title to Louisiana or Alaska except
that confirmed by treaty. AS they are
ours, we are bound to see them pacl-
fed, to set UP law and order in their
midst"
This is the solemn fact, and people
who throw obstacles In the way of the
pacificatiop of the Philippines are aid
ing and abetting the rebellion. and
those Democrats who are Of the same
opinion should show their patriotism
by voting the Republican ticket this
fall. II Is the only way to make them
selves effective. Votes count.
A REPUBLICAN YEAR.
"This ought to be an easy year for
Republican success. It does not re-
auire oral or written argument to in
duce men to vote the Republican
ticket" says the Everett (Pa.) Press.
Argument and appeals fall on listless
ears in the face of well known facts.

silver will bring greater prosperity, the

SECRETARY OF WAR ROOT.

"Republicanism this year means. as
1t has ever meant. loyalty to our coun-
try, belief in the inviolability Of pub
lie faith. an unfailing adherence to
honest government and honest money,
and an undying devotion to the honor
and integrity Of the flag, wherever 1t
floats. carried by our soldiers or SAIL
Ors on land or sea This year all these
qualities are accentuated in marked
degree. and the Republican who fails
to go to the polls and cast a stalwart
Republican ballot will ever regret hav-
ing failed to take advantage of one of
the grandest opportunities of his life
TO show his devotion to and practical
and timely allegiance to the party,
which means so much to the continued
welfare of our people. The greater the
Republican vote this fall the greater
will be the incentive to Republican
leaders to prepare for the great nation

War Root, in recent interview.

REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN HANNA.
There Is no doubt that the state
elections this fall will be taken as an
index OF the sentiment Of the Ameri-
can people upon the issues of the ap-
preaching national campaign. 1t is.
therefore, important that every Re.
publican vote shall be cast in Novem-
Der for the candidates on the Republi-
can state tickets in Ohio. Pennsylva-
MIA. Kentucky, Iowa and other states
In which there are local contests for
important offices. All our Republican
majorities this year should be as large
as possible to emphasize the popular
feeling. The Industrial conditions and
the Philippine war will prove factors
In the coming campaign. The Philip
pine war has been made an issue by
the Democratic party, but we have
nothing to fear. | would as lief have

dition of the country. Republicans

at is the Indifferent and stay at home
voter that the party managers should
direct their attention to this fall. These
are the men who are so preoccupied
with their business interests that they
frequently do not appreciate the i'm
portance Of a political campai' until
after the election returns are announc-
ed. Then. II the result is not as they
desired, they feel the sting Of remorse
and realize the result OF their own neg
ligence. This fall there is more than
usual danger to the Republican party
from the Indifferent citizen. Our pros
porous conditions naturally divert the
minds of many from matters Of public
moment. The party workers should
single out these voters and at the
proper time see that they go to the
polls. If they get them there. we need
have no fear of them voting the Demo-
cratic ticket. The thing to do is to get
them there-the intelligence Of the
voter will do the rest. Secretary
Long, in a recent interview.

We do not know who had the supervision
of the Sussex County portion of the State
Auditors report for the year 1898, but one
thing is evident considerable pains were
taken to conceal from the public certain
statistics formerly presented in the report.
The supervisor Of the Sussex edition did
not care for the people to see the assessment
OF each hundred and left the table out.
Neither does the table showing the amount
OF taxes levied for county, road, and poor
purposes appear for which there is no ex,
cuse. One very important table showing
amount of errors, delinquents and com.
missions allowed on The assessment and
levy fails to appear. In former reports of
the auditor all these statistics have been
printed. Just why they should have been
omitted the State official may be able to
explain. Another objection to the method
of the Sussex edition is that it is not ex-
planatory enough. Here is specimen:
"Order No. 6771, Mr.. Blank $780," Now

to conceal and are paying of the debt they
do things in much better way. For ex.

means of financial saving to the County.
