Senator James, Harlan, who died Oct.

tnere was no time left for its proper
consideration. 1t was generally re-
garded by the press of both political
parties as @ very transparent trick
Even Col. Henderson's home organ
the Dubuque Globe Journal, made the
following editorial comment:
The Sioux City Tribune reproduces
with enthusiasm the New York SUMS
statement that the republicans offered
the antitrust amendment with no hope
or desire of passing it. This is un.
doubtedly correct. The Amendment
had no merit and it is inconceivable
that it expressed the honest judgment

The parliamentary elections in Great
Britain are over, and the result, all
things considered, is little less than a
moral defeat for the lingo ministry.
Thesliberal party was rushed into the
elections in a leaderless, demoralized
condition, owing to the imperialistic
tendencies of many of it's prominent
members; but, to the credit of, the JUS
tjcs loving people Of the United King
dom be it said, that Joseph Chamber
lain's robber policy has not received q
great popular Endorsement.
The conservatives had majority OF
100 at the opening Of the last parliament
which was reduced by losses at by
elections to 1879. at the recent cleo
lions the conservatives secured major
ity of only 1870.

Miners Strike.
HaZleton, Pa, Oct. 22.-President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
practically admitted to representa-
tive of the Associated Press that IL
every operator in the region were to
post notices similar to those that are
now being tackled up by some of the
mine owners this action would in 1t
self probably not end the strike. He
was asked II all the companies were
to post such notices what his next step
would be. 1t first he hesltated and
then replied:
"Under the conditions laid down by
the Scranton miners convention there
could be no partial resumption of
work"
When it was suggested that his re-
ply did not answer the question, he
said: We'll, all will say is that If
all the companies post notices it would
clear up matters considerably. 1t
would remove some of the obstacles
that now present themselves
This Is the first public statement
that Mr.. Mitchell has made bearing
on settlement Of the contest since
the operators at Scranton took their
decided stand that the reduction of
powder price must be considered in
figuring out the advance in wages.
Notices similar to those already posted
by Individual operators in this region
have been issued by three more com

When the war came on Mr.. Sherman

\ Few words About Count ' Affairs

A Few Words About County Affairs
From time immemmorial it has been
the custom of the Editor of the Man
chester Press to enlighten the voters of
Delaware Co. just before election as to
their duties at the polls and laud the
presentincumbents of the different coun-
ty offices to the skies. And the editor
of the Press has happy way of be-
fuddling the minds of Republican vot-
ers about this season of the year. 1t
seems that all that is necessary is to
have the name republican attached to
the string and good or bad it goes, be
cause the machine so orders. The
Press has become part of this ma
chine, with the Editor one of the prin-
ciple spokes in the wheel. and the
county house the hub. 1t seems to be
only necessary for the Press to offer
just before election, some timely advice
and eulogize the present incumbents and
the election of every one of the republi-
can nominees lis assured beyond all
question of doubt. Now l appeal to
the voters of Delaware County to show
some independents. The plesent ineum-
bents may be ali around good fellows,
and have the knack of keeping on the
right side of the Taxpayers and inside
of the republican camp, but they are no
better than the democratic nominees,
and in some instances mot as good.
The democratic candidates for the
different county offices are every one
well qualified and if elected will serve
the public in the different county Offices
with great credit and honor to the peo-
pie that elect them. The affairs of the
county would be just as economically
administered and the wants of the pub.
lie just as safely attended to, and prob
ably more so, with democrats in some
of the county offices. Two of the most
honored members of the board of Sup
ervisors we have ever had, and one
whom the city of Manchester in psrtic-
ular should ever honor and esteem,
were Democrats. Ifefer to James Le-
gassic.and Geo. Staehle. They were
war horses in every sense of the word
They are not the only ones that have
filled our county offices with credit, and
assure you there are no exceptions to
the present Democratic nominees.
They are all we'll known citizens and
the tax payers will make no mistake In
electlng every one of them at the COM
Ing election.

in q strong editorial, which created a SEN
sation in political circles. The editorial
is signed by Editor Frank A. Watkins,
q lifelong republican and begins:
"For twelve years the Republican has
been republican newspaper. Since
| 1888 it has made as best it could aclean,
honest, manly fight for republican poll
cies and measures and has supported
republican nominees for national, state

with the party of Lincoln and Sumner
and Seward and Chase, of Grant and

glorying in the record these great lead
ers have made and in the ideas of Am

have stood, the Republican has lent
its party cheerful and loyal support

From new henceforth the Republican
will be found advocating the election
of the man who stands for the same
