Use you they'll have a far bigger
crowd than is here to-day. l wish
you'd take this matter up and see
if you can't arrange it,
"Mr. Buchanan replied that 'he
felt sure that Mr.. Sibley would be
only too glad to accept, and he
would see him about it at once.
But that he thought he was not the
proper person to take the matter
up with Mr.. Emery
"To this Mr.. McGill assented,
and agreed that he would attend to
the Emery side of it, if Mr.. Sibley
would consent to the proposal.
Mr.. Buchanan then laid the matter
before Mr.. Sibley, to which he re-
piled: ANY minute of any hour,
of any day, between now and cleo
ton, at any place that Mr.. Emery
will name or agree to, | will be on
ly too glad to meet him in dis
cussion of the issues of the day
"These words were reported to
Mr.. McGill, who at once sought
out Mr.. emery and laid the propo-
sition before him. But instead of
it being received in the fair and
gentlemanly manner in which it
was intended, what was Mr.. Nc
GilFs surprise to find his advances
met in the most intolerant and re-
pellant manner, and himself made
the object Of suspicion, and vile
abuse. Mr.. Emery at first fatty
refused to discuss anything with
Mr. Sibley unless it was Trusts
and afterwards declined even that,
and said he would not discuss any
thing with him.
"He finally lost all control Of
himself and said to Mr.. McGill:
You mustn't think I'm damned
fool. / can see through your
damned tricks. Your whole damn
ed gang amt smart enough to put
me in hole
"To say that Mr.. McGill was
astonished to have his motives
misconstrued, and to thus be ac-
cused of being in a game or trick
against the man whom he had in
tended to support, is expressing
his feelings mildly. But he proved
himself the much better man of the
two, and kept his temper admir-
ably, trying to explain that he was
only trying to carry out the ex-
pressed wish of the people, and
that he could not see what there
was in it so very Objectionable to
Mr.. Emery. But no amount of
explanation could pacify the latter,
and he continued to rage and fume
for the rest of the day"

EnERY AT CLINTONVILLE HARV-
EST HOME.

We take the following account of
the action of candidate Lewis EN-
cry at the Clintonville Harvest
Home from Capt. McClintock' s let
ter to the Oil City Derrick. 1t is
correct and well written and ex-
plains itself:
During the afternoon a rather
exciting incident occurred, which
resulted in at last getting definite
declaration from Mr.. Emery in re-
gard to Mr.. Sibley's challenge to
him for a joint discussion of the
issues of the campaign.
"Soon after dinner Mr.. H. j.
McGill, who is one of the most
highly respected citizens of Clinton
township, and a staunch Republi-
can-but whose sympathies have
heretofore been entirely with Mr..
Emery in this fght-approached
ID. X. Buchanan, Esq, secretary
of the Republican County Commit
tee, and stated to him that he had
talked with a large number of peo-
pie on both sides and that they
were unanimous in their desire to
have meeting in the grove at an
early date at which Mr.. Emery
and Mr.. Sibley should appear and
state their positions. Said he:
Now, the people want this. They
want to see these two gentlemen
together; they want to hear them
talk together, and explain every
thing that the people ought to know,

BlameS it ON The Tariff.

Mr.. Emery blames the evils of
the trusts on the tariff and is will
ing to kill the tariff to kill the
trusts. His course would be like
that of boy, who "killed the
goose's chicken because its father
bit him."
1t is an old theory of the rabid
free traders that the tariff is father
to the trusts, but it has no founda-
ton in fact or logical theory.
True. there could be no trusts in
the United States under free trade,
but it is also true that there would
be Il worse condition than all the
trusts possible could produce under
protection. OF course we could
destroy the trusts by destroying
the tariff. Similarly the farmer
can kill the grasshoppers in his
wheat by setting fire to the stand
ing grain, and his wife can kill
every cockroach, bed bug or flea in
the house by burning it. Repeal
the tariff, destroy the protected in
dustries of the country, flood our
markets with the product of foreign
cheap labor and make our hives of
industry as desolate as a grave yard
in winter and every trust will dis
solve. We will not fear the trusts
then. "The beggar sighs in the
presence of the robbers" But it
will then come to pass that foreign
trusts will tighten their grip on us
and prices will be put up by COM
binations absolutely out of our con-
troll and worse than any trust sys-
tenn ever known in this country.
Many years ago at time when cut
nails had little or no tariff on them
they sold for eight cents pound,
and were nearly all imported. A
tariff of six cents a pound was lev
led and the American nail works
which sprung up soon competed
with each other and brought down
the price to three cents a pound.
A few years ago many leading men,
including Blaine and Mckinley,
Republicans, and Samuel j. Ran
dali, Democrat, advocated a pro-
tective tariff on tin plate. Randall
in one of his ablest speeches, said
the entire market for tin plate in
this country could be very soon
supplied by our own mills. The
Mckinley bill put a high duty on
tin plate and the American product
took the place of the foreign pro-
duct. The prices did not rise as
predicted, but large consumers tes-
titled that the change made no ap-
preciable difference in the market
price of the plates. Mr.. Emery's S
plan of killing to cure, will not be
sustained by the voters. They will
endorse any measure that promises
to properly and effectually bride
corporations and punish the crimi-
nal acts of trusts or any other COM
binations or organizations, but they
will not consent to remand our
working people to such misery as
they have just escaped by the mer-
ciful intervention of the present
tariff law, for the purpose Of killing
off trusts. There is a more sensi-
BILE remedy to reach.-Bradford

IF predictions were only electoral
votes Chairman Jones would be able to

Bryan's speech of acceptance was
devoted to explaining the platform,
and now it will be time to explain the
explanation.
Dictator Croker sits on his Saratoga
throne and his sway is as absolute as
was Mr.. Bryan's control of the Kansas
City convention.
Dick Croker is quick to attribute dis
loyalty to those members of Tammany
who favored the nomination of an hon
est man for Governor of New York.
Mr.. Bryan says the Republican party
puts the dollar before the man. So it
does, and it is much better than placing
an empty dinner pail before him.
The cables between both Princeton
and Gray Gables and the public are not
working, so it is impossible to secure
an ex-presidintial opinion of the Kansas
City platform.

Goebelism in Kentucky are omitted

Senator Hoar's logical reasons for
urging the election of Mckinley and
Roosevelt have had rather depressing
effect upon the Democratic editors.
They have suddenly discovered that he
is not patriot.

The plea that Mr.. Bryan as President
would not do the country so much
harm but what the Republican party
could step in and repair the damage is
not an enticing one to the voters.

Bryan is not SO slow. He determined
to have the band, the fireworks, the
speeches, the whoops and hurrahs at
the notification meeting rather than
take any chances on a ratification
meeting.

cost of being victimized by blackmail-
ers, no wonder respectable citizens,
with "a taste for remaining so in com
fort. frequently prefer to pay the price
for comfort and prosperity and let the
political rascals have their way.
I'VE do not often see evidence of just
such blackmailing attempts as Mr.
Wanamaker has exposed, but black
mailing in other forms is daily endured
which ought with the same courage to
be defied The victims of the
politicians hold fingers to lips lest they
be ruined if they dare to strike back
and help rescue the city from rascals.
Perhaps they are worldly wise. They
want to make a living. Some of them
are vulnerable. All of them are timid.
And they have good reason to know
that the politicians will mot hesitate ITO
strike in most despicable fashion.
"To all such cautious pedsons Mr..
Wanamaker sets a good example.
He has exploded all the bombs in
the blackmailers magazine. Many
bankers and insurance men and con-
tractors and railroad managers pay
tribute to politicians simply because
they have not similar courage. Some
of them perhaps have paid tribute so
long that they feel that they would be
disgraced by exposure. Some of them
may feel afraid the politicians will find
in their transactions damaging ma
terial. But the surest road to i'm
mun1ty from even true charges of
wrong-doing is to defy and expose the
Dlackmailers. Until the people
who have submitted to political black
mail are aroused to strike back, even
at some risk to themselves, they will
remain in continued bondage and nav
more tribute to continued fear''
Speaking of ''Blackmail in Phiiadel-
phia," the Washington Star" has this
to say:
For years the city of PHILADELPHIA
has been in the hands of a powerful
~ SANAPuiOuo pOlllICdl IudC0lne. as
bold in it's operations as the Tammanv
Society of New York, as reckless. as
defiant of public opinion and of the
rights of individuals or the best inter
ests of the city Maladministration
corruption and even worse crimes have
been charged against it, with strong
proof of accuracy. The honest citizens
of Philadelphia have begun to demur at
this source of scandalous conduct, and
although unable to break the power of
the machine they have managed to ex-
pose the rottenness of the city govern
ment, to the satisfaction of a large fol-
lowing of residents and of the unpreju-
diced observers of many other cities.
This exposure, which Mr.. Wanna
maker frankly makes in the interests
of decent citizenship, blocks the game.
1t could not have succeeded in any
event. Its ridiculous failure is now
assured. for the motives of such scand-
alous lies as may appear are clear
ly understood by the public we'll in
advance of any venture the machine
in its utter despair may take toward
publication"
