BRANDED AS EDWARDS.

Roosevelt, the tail of the Rep
ublican national ticket. who is 60
ing about wagging the head, wears
all automatic front. In the North
where the colored men are few,
he talks Of their cowardice, how
they made excuses to go to the
relr in the signal battle at San
Juan Hill, and how they would
have stampeded had it not of been
for fear Of being shot, for he
faced them with drawn gun, de-
handed them to stand. or be shot
down. Then he goes to another
place where the colored vote
counts much, and tells the story
with a different meaning Is a
m IN of this kind worthy the suf-
frAge of the American people ?
AS he is on this question, SO he
is on others. In the New Eng
land States, while his speeches are
susceptible Of a double construc-
ton, it would appear that expan-
sion, greed and gain trusts, and
the like, are the main issues of this
campaign, for which the Republi-
can party stands; but when the
ex Cowboy gets over here in Ken
lucky the conditions are different.
and so are the National issues.
Poor Teddy! He fools only
himself.

HOW TO TALK HERE.

Judge Ed. c. O'Rear, Republi-
Can candidate for Judge Of the
Court of Appeals c. II. Duty,
Chairman Of State Organization
Committee, and Il. II. Vim, met
with Gov. Roosevelt Teddy at
Spring Hill Sunday, and sur
mise that they told him to say
3ittle, and that just according to
their idea Of things would not be
far fetched. In order that Judge
'O'Rear makes a good showing the
entire Republican vote is needed,
and to refer to that roast Roose-
welt has been giving the colored
braves Of San Juan Hill rejecting
on the entire race, might hurt.

The Striking Miners Are AK
iously Awaiting the Answer
of the Coal Operators.
A HOPEFUL FEELING AMONG THE MEN.
If the Carrying Companies Conclude
to Accept the Counter proposition
Individual Owners Will Yield.
The Miners Will Not Return to
work Jntil They Have Been
Notified to Do So ny the
Executive Board.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 16.-The
striking miners of the Wyoming val
ley are anxiously awaiting to hear
what answer the operators will make
to the demands of the Scranton con-
vention. There is hopeful feeling
among the men that the concessions
asked for will be granted. but no
body feels sure of an early settle
ment and there will be no relief from
the present anxiety until some def
mite information is received from the
coal magazines in New York. If the
big coal carrying companies fall in
line and conclude to accept the coun-
ter proposition made by the men,
the individual operators will ac-
quiesce and there will be resumption
of operations in a short time. The
representatives of the coal companies
In this section say they have no news
to give out beyond the fact that the
ten per cent. increase in wages offer
ed by the companies some time ago
still holds good. One operator said
Monday night:
The Oner TO Strikers stiIl Open.
This offer is still open to the strix-
ers if they wish to accept it. 1t is
safe to say, however, that the opera
tors will make no agreement with the
miners. In the first place the opera
tors have lost faith in the men since
they have quit recently and broken
agreements made with their employ
ers. The operators can have no assur-
ance that in case ali agreement was
entered into President Mitchell would
not come along some day and declare
it off,"
Miners i'm Good Shape Financially.
AT strikers headquarters it was Civ
en- out that the men would not return
to work until they had been notified
TO do so by the executive board of
United Mine Workers. If the com
panies did not meet the men half
way and accept the decision of the
strike convention as final the strike
would go on. One of the officers of
the United Mine Workers said the
strikers were in good shape yet and
could carry on the battle for some
time yet without entailing much suf-
fering to the men or their families.

STRIKERS ARE ALERT.
Committees Calling on the Men
Warning Them to Guard
Against "a Stampede.

ShamolIin, Pa, Oct. 16.-Commit-
tees of United Mine Workers were
calling on miners Monday afternoon
and evening to warn them to pay no
attention to petitions being circu-
lated by agents of several local carry
ing companies asking miners to re-
turn to work pending a settlement
between the operators, coal carrying
companies and miners. The commit
tees are informing the men that OPP
orators are trying to effect STAN
pede among the men in order to
break up the strike and that it is
probable the operators have decided
not to comply with the demands of
the Scranton convention.

Teddy and
Bradley.

Terrible Teddy" the intellectual ex-
cowboy, has come and gone. His COM
| ing had been extensively advertised, and
consequently, with this extra attraction
combined with the usual Court Day
crowd, large number of people were in
the city Possibly FIVE thousand people
were i'll hearing of the distinguished gen
tleman, which he faced from a platform
erected in front of the Court House wall.
II was half past ten when he arrived.
He was briefly introduced by Major
Wood, and spoke about ten minutes. say
ing among other things, that Organism
and Gocbelism represented everything
that stood for dishonor and cowardice
abroad He did not say anything about
shooting that fleeing Spaniard i'll the
back. anything about half drunken
cowboy being as good as a farmer or me-
chanic. OF anything about the Ninth and
and Tenth regiments of colored troops
saving his regiment from humiliation at
San Juan.
He appealed to the good people to sup
port him and his ticket and thereby save
the country from destruction. The
county will go Democratic by an increas-
ed majority. Teddy did the Democratic
party no harm.
After Roosevelt had concluded, ex-
Gov Bradley spoke to the assemblage
He was introduced by Judge Mckee,
and the Governor said that the old lead
ers and distinguished men Of the party
had left the Democratic party, and men
toned Carlisle, Billy Breckenridge, Buck
ner and others. He made his usual po-
litical speech, and seemed to please his
Republican hearers. Some one in the
crowd asked where was Taylor" and
Bradley told him to 20 and soak his
head. The Governor hadn't orter get
mad if an auditor asks him question.
Saxton's band was on hand. Several
of the business houses were decorated
with flags and bunting and pictures of
the National and State nominees were
much in evidence. Everything passed
off quietly, and Democrats, Republicans
and Pr0hibitionists were satisfied with
the day 5 display of oratorical fire works.
Democrats were strengthened and Re
publicans doubtless think they got little
for the money invested

Hon John d. White, Prohibition can
didate for Governor, followed Mr. Nit
chell at the Court House yesterday after
noon, and those who stayed to hear him
heard a fine address. Mr.. White went
after both parties in his dramatic style
and said that the Goebel law was vastly
better than the old law as he had had
some experience with the latter in his
own district. He said Republicans were
talking about stealing elections, yet they
practiced the same thing in the nth dis
trict, and he knew whereof he spoke.
Mr.. White has lost none of his old time
vigor, and he is one OF the most attract
i've speakers on the stump. His old time
friends. the Republicans, did not come
out to hear him, as won't their custom,

That Hon. Moody, deposed
Democratic nominee for Congress
in the Seventh district. is a man of
the highest sense Of honor was
made manifest by his action in the
agreed law suit between himself
and Trimble. Never did any one
conduct himself more manly, more
honorably, with all to lose and
nothing to gain except an opinion
from the Court Of Appeals. He
submitted to a suit and saw what
was his as a gift from his own con-
stiuents given to another, without
even a righteous murmer, and for
party sake rises above self and is
now ready to do service. For
this unusual conduct in this mod
ern day polite if he is not liber-
ally rewarded then the Democratic
party Of the Seventh will prove
ztself ungrateful indeed
