The Election.
EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

Deen gwen a dose OF first rate con
tinuing prosperity medicine and
when they get over the dislike OF
taking such a dose, they too will
feel all the better. They were
saved from rushing head long into
reactionary Congressional legisla-
ton that would bring wide spread
business panic. They may not
thank the republican party for
thus saving them, but all the same
when the republicans kept them
selves out of business distress, they
carried the democrats with them.
The erring brethren will have am
pie time within the next four
years to unlearn a great deal that
leaders of that party taught them.
On the question of trusts they will
learn that the trust is a business
organization and not political Or
ganizatiOn and whatever wrongs
they infiict are business wrongs.
They will learn that Imperialism
is a phantom play gotten up to
scare the conscientious voter into
voting the democrat ticket They
will have the privilege of enjoying
an undisturbed revenue law suf-
ficiently large to pay pensions to
democrat as well as republican sol
diers; pay the running expenses of
the government with some to spare
to meet maturing obligations.
They will enjoy the privilege of
being secured from a threatened
influx of wild cat State banks that
were hanging on the horizon of
Bryanism. The list of ills
could be multiplied that they have
escaped by the victory of the re-
publican party. In their voyage
up Salt river they will have ample
time to give thanks that they are
safe from the business wreck that
a victory for the democracy would
have brougb. upon the country.
Mckinley for President; Mahon
for Congress; Mckee for Senate;
Beaver for Assembly is everything
obtainable in the National, the
congressional, the Senatorial and
Legislative districts. There is
nothing left of the brethren except
the Sheriff and the Register and
Recorder. McKee's majority over
Keller in Mifflin county is 81 votes;
McKee's majority over Keller in
Perry county is 400 votes; Keller's
majority over Mckee in Juniata
is 453 votes, which gives Mckee
81 of a majority in the district,
which is great victory consider
ing the fact that Keller's friends
in this county claimed to be able
to give him eight to nine hundred
majority. But look at the grand
column of states that wheeled into
line for Mckinley:
Pennsylvania 25O,OOOO; New
York 10000: Indiana 10000;
Maryland 10, 900; New Jersey 1O,-
900; Illinois 80, ZOO: Ohio 1000;
West Virginia 10000; Iowa 100,
900; Wisconsin 100, 900; Massachu-
setts $4,000; Kansas 10000; Del
aware 1,5OO; Michigan $1,000;
California 10000: Rhode Island
1900; Connecticut 10000. 1t
looks as if Mckinley had swept in
to the Republican fold all of the
northern states. Only four demo-
cratic Congressman in Pennsylva-
MIA have been elected as far as
heard from. One of the strongest
fights in the State was made by
the machine of both parties to de-
feat the regularly nominated can
didate for State Senate in the 31si
Senatorial district J. w. Mckee,
but he won the election by less
than 100 votes. There are A.
votes in the electoral college, 2S7
of which are for Mckinley, which
is Is electoral votes more than ht
received in 1896.
Before the Official Returns from
Black Log, Juniata Co., Pa, election
district had reached the Court House al
Mifflintown, several parties from thai
district Were at the Court House pro
testing against the counting of the
votes. They charged the election board

the morning of the late election Emory

gal and that he, Opple, would act as
inspector. Opple, then swOre the Judge
and served on the Election Board
while Mr.. Emory cracked his heels on
the outside. Judge Bilger said on
Wednesday that he was afraid of OPP.

acting as Inspector. The County Com
missioners refused to pay Opple or his
clerk for serving on the election board
Further developments are awaited.
PIRATE KIDD'S TREASURE.
Three generations of men have been
hunting pirate Captain Kidd's buried
treasure at different places along the
Atlantic sea coast and 1t seems as if the
