POLITICAL.

The Republicans of York and Leb-
anon counties nominated Anti-Quay
men for the Legislature, last Saturday
and at Washington. National Chairman
Hanna dropped Quay's name from the
executive committee and put in Frank
lin Murphy of New Jersey.
The defeat of the Quayites in Leban-
on county. after trying to keep the
names Of DIR. Weiss and his associates of
their official ballot and summoning wit
nesses from all over the state 10 confirm
the position they had taken, was
particularly CALLING to them
At the meeting of the Republican
return judges of Lebanon county, Mon
day, DR. Gerberich, the Quay candidate
for State Senate gave notice that ne
would contest DR. Weiss nomination and
DR.. Zerbe, Quay. gave notice that ne
would contest Prof Bremans nomina-
ton: and both cases will probably get
into the courts
The Democratic congressional confer
ence Of the venango, Warren, Mexican
district, met at Oil City, last Thursday
and endorsed the nomination of hewis
Emery, of Bradford, by the Independent
Republicans
The notification committees finally
notified President Mckinley and
Governor Roosevelt Of the nomination by
the Republican National committee last
Thursday, and both men made notable
speeches.
Hon. A. G. Williams and Hon Geo.
w. McNeese, the respective Butler and
Armstrong candidates for State Senate
recently met and agreed that the 4lst
districts conference should be held dur
ing the present month. The delegates
from each county will then meet and
decide which.connty nominee shall re-
present the district. Both men are ad-
herents of M. S. Quay. 1t is Butler
County's turn for the nomination and
Mr.. Williams will no doubt be conced-
ed the place by Mr.. McNeese. The
district was made in 1874, since which
time, Armstrong County men have filed
the Office for IA years and Butler men II
years.
Practically complete returns from the
Lebanon county Republican primary
elections, held ON Saturday evening, in
dicate that the anti-Quayites captured
about everything in sight, including a
State Senator and two assemblymen, 81
though by majorities much smaller than
that by which DIR. Samuel Weiss was
nominated for State Senator year ago
last February.
The explanation for this probably is
that the Quay leaders traded about every
Quay candidate for a county Office to
secure votes for Quay Senator and two
Quay Assemblymen, as it appears that
the anti Qua yites captured every county
Office except one.
The net result is a loss of two votes to
Quay in the next Legislature, as the two
Lebanon county Assemblymen in the
last Legislature voted steadily for him
from start to finish. The Lebanon anti
Quayites have not much to brag Of in
the matter of majorities. but they got
away with about everything they went
after, which justifes them in claiming
a wholesale antiQuay victory. The
Lebanon result does not afford much
encouragement to Quay and his follow

Shiloh Again.

About four months ago some of the
young ladies Of the Y. p c. q. Of Shiloh
U. p. church organized an India Bene-
fit Society, the object of which was to
procure money for the relief Of the
famine stricken sufferers of India
The girls make and sell aprons, sun
bonnets handkerchiefs, etc, and they
have also given an oyster supper and
lawn-fete; and have received a card of
thanks from Miss Emma D. Anderson
OF Sialkot, India, for fifteen dollars. the
first money they sent away And about
two weeks ago they sent away sixty dol
lars more. The girls say 1t pays to
take the Lord into partnership
Judging from their beaming counten-
ances and from their words Of warm ap-
probation, venture to thank in behalf
of the Society. the kind friends who
have patronized them so literally in
their work of devotion.

Austin, Texas, November s-The lead
ers Of the Independents in this county
have been completely demoralzed of late
and now Just at the time when their
acts might make a showing, they have
utterly lost themselves and the democrats

Every precinct in the county has been
thoroughly canvassed by the democratic
candidates and from reports received at
headquarters the ticket is bound to
triumph.
County Chairman Hamilton is Of the
opinion that the ticket Will come out with
good majority, and all democrats who
have made a study of the situation say
the same thing, The big fight of the in
dependents is leyeled against County
Judge Walker, who is the nominee for
district Judge. He is opposed by Judge
Morris, the present incumbent, who seeks
his election at the hands OF the indie
pendent voter.
The Young Mems Democratic club ha.
been very active during the campaign, and
in order to keep a weather eye opel
adopted a ringing resolution at its last
meeting
u The resolution was not given out until
7 today; Is principal clauses are TO the eft

NELMs AT SWEET HOME.


Sweet Home, Texas, November 3.--Hon.
w W. helms of Georgetown addressed
the voters of this place yesterday, speak
ing particularly to the populsts. He ex-
posed the dishonest methods OF the re-
publican committee in circulating "a bo-
gus edition of the Farmers Forum,
populist paper published in Gonzales, at
lacking the personal character OF George
Burgess and accusing him of various mis-
demeanors, an edition not a copy of which
was circulated in Gonzales county. He re-
cited a history of the populist party and
showed why every populist should sup
port Mr., Burgess in this contest. He
made it plain to them that there was a
weighty responsibility placed upon the
populists in this campaign, it being pos
sible that the populist vote would decide
whether man in sympathy with Bryan
and the common people or one who would
vote with Hanna and the trusts would be
elected from this district and such CON
gresham might have the deciding vote
in the lower house. His discourse was
listened TO with rapt attention and at it's
close Mr.. helms was assured by promi-
nent populists that they would vote and
work for Burgess. Mr., helms is an ear
nest and convincing speaker and he car
ries his audience with him in a remarka-
BILE manner. His speech was the best de-
liyered here during the campaign.
