ADVANCE NOT SATISFACTORY.

For the first time I'm many years the
operators have recognized your demands
for better conditions and have offered an
advance of 10 per cent. In your wages. I
am well aware that this advance is not
satisfactory to you.
You have felt that a definite period OF
time should be named during which this
advance should remain IN force. You he
lieve that the sliding scale should be
abolished, you also believe that the la ws
of Pennsylvania should be obeyed by the
coal companies and wages be paid twice
each month, you reservfng the right to
spend your earnings wherever you
choose.
Whether II Is better at this time, to in
sist upon a compliance with all your
demands is a question which you who
are most interested are called upon 10
decide. Personally, have hoped that we
should be able at some time to estao-
lish the same method or adjusting wago
differences as now exTsts in the btu
minous coal regions. whore employees and
miners delegates meet In joint inter-
state convention and like prudent, sem
sible business men mutually agree upon
a scale of wages which remains in force
for one year, thus removing the causes
o. strikes and lockouts.

There Is, however. no doubt that II he
accedes to the now almost general de-
sire he can have the Republican nomina-
tion. and can be elected. Col. Goff is a
man who commands the respect OF the
whole people, and there can be no ques-
tfon that he wifi, If nominated. poll the
full strength of the Republican vote,
and i'm addition, secure the sufrages or
many Democrats. particularly In the
third, sixth and tentn wards.
The never healthy Granger boom In now
sick unto death, and the efforts or its
creators TO keep IL alive are pitiful indeed
On every side now the name of Granger
n received with a smile, even the Goo
Coos, what Is left of them, refusing 10
acknowledge him since he announced MS
free silver proclivities. In fact, as
prominent Democrat put II this morning,
"Granger is out OF IL. as far as the may
orally is concerned, and don't know but
what he is out altogether"
COULDN'T GET A THIRD.
Another Democrat, and one who II pret-
~ well posted as to the feeling OF his
party said "If the caucuses were TO be
held tonight Granger would not capture
one third OF the delegates. and as the
days 70 on his chances are getting less
and less. We never wanted him for may
or and shall refuse TO endorse him for
that office. That's all have TO say
In the Perkins camp there IL a feeling
OF success and the gentlemen who are
looking after the interests of Mr.. Perkins
are well satisfied with the situation.
Pledges of support come TO them every
day. and a careful canvass of the several
wards has convinced them that the eau
cuses will be carried by Mr.. Perk'ns in
about every ward, with the exception,
perhaps, of the First and Secono. and
they do not hesitate TO claim that he Will
be the regular nominee of the Democratic
party.
Many attempts have been made by the
Granger boomers to iniure Mr.. Perkins
by the circulation of fabrica,ions. but the
tactics OF these men are so well known
and the only result has been TO attract
voters 10 the Perkins camp

THREE INTERESTING LETTERS.
There were three important letters
found among the papers including the
Meek Indictment They speak for
themselves.
The first letter reads:
Curwensville, July "a, 1865.
Messrs. Alexander & Orvis.
Gents: When l left your town I
promised to write you concerning Mr..
Meek's case. / am authorized by one
Of the parties prosecuting to ask you
II Mr.. M. would as soon pay three hun
dred dollars as stand trial. Let me
know by return mail. II accepted I
will not notify witnesses. Truly,
B. HARTSHORN.
The second letter reads:
Bellefonte, Pa, July 26, 1868.
Benjamin Hartshorn, Esq,
Dear Sir: We are instructed to an
swer your question in the Affirmative.
When, where and to whom is the pay
ment to be made? Would 1t not be
better for the sake Of appearances for
you to subpoena your witnesses? An
swer by return mail. Respectfully,
ORVIS & ALEXANDER.
The third letter is as follows:
Curwensville, July 81, 1865.
Cyrus Alexander, Esq,
Dear Sir; Mr.. Meek's case is with
drawn. The United States district at
torney requested me to notify the wit
nesses to that effect, which have
done. Yours respectfully,
d. HARTSHORN.
MEEK PROMISED TO BE GOOD.
The case against Mr.. Meek was final
ly disposed OF by the district attorney
moving nolle PROSE- after there were
absolute assurances that Meek would
not repeat the offense While he did
not make as wild statements as before
his arrest, Meek continued to show
antipathy to the Union cause, and he to
this day Is looked upon as one Of the
most radical Of Bourbon Democrats.
The veterans OF the civil war and the
Sons Of Veterans, who number many
thousands in Pennsylvania, will, no
doubt, take care OF Mr. Meek's case at
the coming election. There were many
patriotic Democratic soldiers In the
Union army who had no sympathy
with the work Of men like Meek, and
in the recent war with Spain and in the
present insurrectiop in the Philippines
there are hundreds OF Democrats serv-
ing In the regular army who resent the
nomination OF q man who holds the
views entertained by Candidate Meek.
They are decidedly opposed to the
policy of the present Bryan leadership
Of the Democratic party and look upon
the so-called anti-imperialistiG cam
paign as calculated to keep tho Fill
pinos fighting in the hope that Dem
ocrauc victory would mean the recog-
milton OF their claim to control the
Philippines.
MEEK HAS NOT CHANGED.
Meek's attitude and sentiments ro-
garding the Mckinley administration
and the American troops in the east
are given In an editorial paragraph In
last weeks issue OF his newspaper, In
which he said:
The truth has finally become
known. American soldiers have
been guilty Of looting In China
They seized 100000 in gold at
Tien Tsin, which was lootng,
since we had no war with China
and the seizure could not come
under the head Of conflscations al
lowed under the rules Of war
