A Feeble Effort.

Emery is the democratic nominee for
Congress, duly nominated by the de-
mocracy in convention assembled, yet
it appeared on Monday evening that
the democratic bosses of Cameron
county were ignored. w. FL. Howard
presided as chairman and tired the
audience with speech one hour and
forty-seven minutes long to convince
the listeners that he was not always a
reliable Republican, in fact had recent
ly voted the straight democratic ticket.
A long list of vice-presidents was read,
consisting of many men who were not
present and loyal, straight Republicans,
to make it appear that the Emery vote
in this county would be largely from
representative Republicans, when the
facts are that about the only Republi-
can vote Emery will catch in Empo-
rum sat upon the stage last Monday
evening. Eugene Mullin, Esq, of
Bradford, was the first speaker. He
labored hard and at great disadvan-
tage, and when he started out against
expansion soon saw that he could not
catch the audience by such talk. After
floating all around and saying nothing
he gave way for Senator Emery, who
spoke for more than an hour to con-
vince his Republican hearers that he
was a Republican and in case Bryan was
elected good democrat. He failed to
inform his audience how he would vote,
if elected, upon the election of Speaker
of Congress and failed to deny that he
had agreed to vote for a free--trade, free
silver Speaker in consideration of the
democratic nomination. The meeting
was fiat failure, and none of the en-
thusiasm expected by the Lincoln
Bryan-'Dependent Republicans made
it's appearance. The meeting was a
great disappointment to the Emery
followers, while the democrats were

Hon. J. g. Sibley could not deny the
prosperity of Republicanism, so he left
the Democrats to become Republican
and now he is styled ga treacherous
topper" by some Democrats and all
renegade Republicans. Hon. L. Emery
was Republican, supported Mr.. Sib-
ley for the nomination, then came out
as a candidate against him, and is now
posing as a Democrat before Demo
Gratis and as an Independent Republi-
can before Republicans, and these same
Democrats and renegade Republicans
will tell you he is an honest man and a
candidate for the purpose of purifying
the politics of this district. These are
plain facts that make the fusionists
vince when forced to face them

Veaghten Rogers as nothing short OF
wonderful. Have heard him with un-
bounded delight. His appearance here
Tuesday evening, Oct. 16, in the Insti-
tute cause, should crowd the Court
House.
