What Do You rIean?

Sorry we can't write up the pedigree
of delegate-at-large, but as we have
an alternate in the person of Hon. S.
S. Smith, we wish to say he is not re-
lated to Queen Victoria, nor has he any
royal blood in his veins, although he
halls from Canada, but can fight po-
litical battle and put to flight all the
Quay ring and royal blood in Cameron
county, and this counts more than all
the pretty things said about him In
dependent.
What is the political editor of the
Independent trying to get through
him? The Democrats of Cameron can
pull chestnuts from the fire for Guffy
ct. al. but never in their lives will they
be honored as Cameron was by the Re-
publicans of Pennsylvania with tlco
delegates-at-large. If you eUer do you
will no doubt be gladly willing to do
them the honor of a write up, just as
the PRESS would do, no matter what
their political affiliations might be.
But, gentlemen you would have to look
a long time for men in this county,
who are more closely identified with
Cameron county. Mr. Green is an
able gentleman, large property owner
and taxpayer, while Mr.. Barclay, (who
was elected an alternate, but acted as
delegate in place of Mr.. Elverson, of
the Inquirer is the senior member of
the firm of Barclay Bros with an in
vestment in this county of nearly $780,
900 and employing hundreds of men
With all his royal blood he is genuine
American citizen and is proud of that
fact and proud of his country and it's
institutions, in fact he served his coun-
try in battle and suffered in rebel prison
pens that those institutions might live.
Both gentlemen havea little fight leftyet
and no cry of"Quay" or ''royal blood'
will count this year in Cameron. That
old chestnut is dead and the agitators
are deader yet In the light of the
recent past it is a little tough for the
Independent to brag when they we'll
know they could not elect a single
candidate in this county were it not
for the help of the Republicans. The
''royal blood'and former"Quay blood'
will meet you in the future, then
story we will tell.
