THE Republicans of Somerset county
are unalterably opposed TO the return
of Joseph E. Thropp to Congress. Two
years ago, when his own county humil-
lated him by giving large majority
against him, and Blair and Cambria
both repudisted him, Somerset county,
by her large loyal Republican majority
saved his election, dragging him from
beneath the hostile vote OF the other
counties in the district much as one
would pull drowning puppy from a
mill pond. His gratitude has been
shown 10y according his Somerset coun-
~ constituents treatment on q par with
that which the average Boer is alleged
TO mete out to the Uitlander, only in
this case it is Mr.. ThrOpp who is the
BOer. Whether Mr.. Thropp runs in
this county in person or by proxy, it is
one and the same. The Republicans
of this county will have none of him.

THE death of the famous Boer Gen
eral Piet Joubert removes from life's
action one Of the sturdiest of all those
who are now engaged in the fight for
independence, a rugged, honest man, a
lover of liberty, bater of oppression,
and a eombaiant in a good cause who
was at all times to be feared when the
struggle was ON. His loss TO the South
African Republic is irreparsble, for
there is none to take his place. The
BOer forces are well differed, but the
men who plan the battles and carry
them to a successful termination are
few, and Jou5ert will be very sadly
missed. What effect, if any, his death
viii have on the BOer cause remains TO
be seen, but it will certainly be discOur-
aging, for Joubert was the mainstay,
and the man on whom was placed the
greatest reliance by Kruger and the
others who conducted the destinies of
the BOer Republic.

Political Notes.

The Indiana Messenger says: "In the
few counties where insurgent candidates
have been nominated for Assembly there
is no talk of the stalwarts fdsing with
the Democrats to defeat the regular nom
inees. They are not that sort of Repub-
licans-" Right. quite right. The regular
Republicans propose to abide by the de-
cisions of the conventions They are Re
publicans. not assistant Democrats. For
further particulars see the returns.-Phil-
adelphia Inquirer.

When the "bosses" and Sub -bosses'
met in secret convention the plan that
had previously been adopted by the
signers Of the letter was put ia motion
to drive avowed candidates from the
field. Boss Kimmell declared in
most positive terms that unless John
G. Emert was .slated' IS the candi-
date for Prothonoiary in order that the
Commissioners office might be vindi-
Gated of the charges made against it
by outraged taxpayers be would not
play politics any more BOSSES"
Kvoser and Leonard agreed that Kim
nell was entitled to name tae candi-
date for that important Office and the
other candidates were politely notified
that they were not in the running.
Boss Shober claimed the privilege
of naming the candidate for Register
aud Recorder, and by jadicions prom
ises Of future reward to those who
aspired TO announce their names for
that ofiiea, was allowed to name Jacob
G. KimmelI.
J. A. Berkey, who was hostile to the
stating of Emert urged other we'll
known gentlemen to enter the field
against him, but when Berkey receiy-
ed word from Committeeman controlled
by Shober aud Kimmell that he must
keep hsnds off he meekly submitted to
see the friends be had induced to offer
their names slaughtered in the house OF
their supposed friends.
WheD il came to stating candidate
for Sheriff Assoeiste-Judge George ].
Black served notice that he had pre-
einp;ed that place for his son Frank
b and that if any other name was
considered trouble could be expected
from the s'bench.n
The Committee appointed to select
men for the office of Commissioner
were the selection of Messrs. Kimmell
and Shober, but they were unable to
secure the binding promises they tried
to exact.
There you have it, independent voter.
The mask has been stripped from those
who have deceived you with pr mises
of purity OF purpose and lofty objects
to be attained. In their nakedness
you see clearly depictec. the utter hypo-
crisy Of their pretensions over and
above their greed for personal gain al d |

Sensational Execution of moutan. Sheriff

to day for the murder of Sheriff Domin-
lex Cavanaugh, though declaring on the
scadiold: Its all mistake. sm inno-
cent?
Outside the walls scores of men awaited
news of the execution, it being freely
stated that a reprieve would result in a
lynching.
Hurst and Cavanaugh were respectively
Republican and Democratic candidates
for sheriff in ls9s, the latter being elected
by small plurality. Shortly afterwards
CAvanaugh was assassinated in an alley,
and Hurst appointed sheriff by the county
commissioners. Hurst was convicted on
circumstantial evidence.

Wireless Tslsgraphy.

It is said that successful experiments
have at last been accomplished in wireless
telegraphy, and this would undoubtedly
be a good thing, and revolutionize many
ways of doing business. One writer has
gone so far as to say that wireless teleg-
raphy is the greatest discovery of the age.
We beg to differ. Don't overlook Hostel

THE so-called independent Republi-
can voters-and there are many such in
this county-who have followed the
leadership of William H. KOOntz and
Francis ]. KOOser, believing that they
were fighting for well aud clearly de
fined set of Independent political prin-
eiples by the adoption of which great
public good would result and many
alleged abuses would be corrected, can
not view with any degree of compla-
ceney the exposition made elsewhere
in these columns of the methods resort
ed to by them last spring through the
instrumentality of the Mckinley
League to dictate ticket, which was
repudiated by the voters at the prima-
~ election. 0ae of the stock pleas Of
the gentlemen named has been ''that
the people were not permitted to exer-
else a choice in the selection of their
candidates, that power being reserved
for the arch-trators Of the party, the
bosses.D They talked "bOssism" until
their dreams were disturbed at night,
and at last when they believed them
selves to be so strongly fortified in the
good graces of the people they treated
the Republican voters to such an exhi-
bition Of audacious aud intolerable
"bossism" as Dick Croker, Dave Mar
tin, OF Bill Finn never dared attempt
in the boss-ridden cities of New York,
