STATE POLITICAL NOTES.

1t was fifty years ago last Monday
since Galusha A. Grow first took his
seat in Congress, and forty years on
that day he was elected Speaker.
80
Senator Quay says ex-senator Cam
eron is not candidate for Governor,
yet ex-senator Cooper and Others de-
clare he will be.
Representative Henry Hall, of Pitts
burg, the we'll known Washington
correspondent of the Pittsburgh Times,
is mentioned as candidate for Con-
gress in the new Congressional dis
trict in Allegheny county.
s.%
Colonel Frank Fitzsimmons, of
Scranton, thinks that Congressman J.
K. P. Hall, of Elk county, would make
the ideal Democratic candidate for
Governor next year. But Senator J.
Henry Cochran, Ex-Governor Pattison
and ex-Judge Gordon are also in the
field.
sss
Hon. Geo. R. Dixon, of Ridgway, is
a supposed candidate for State Senate
from this district, and Cameron may
have one or two candidates. The dis
trict is hopelessly democratic. Gamer
on democracy has been for more than
thirty years turned down by Elk and
Clarion county and no doubt will be
gold-bricked as usual next year.

GAYNEY,

JOHN GAYNEY, aged about 70 years,
died at his residence last Sunday morn
ing, quite suddenly, although he has
been in very poor health for a long
time. Mr.. Gayney came to Emporium
about 1867 and entered the employ of
the P. & E. R. R., as bridge watcher
and served in that capacity continually
until he was retired about one year
ago. While an excentric character he
was a good law-abiding citizen and
honorable in all dealings and accumu-
lated considerable property and reared
large and respected family of four
daughters and two sons, viz: Timothy
of Wilcox; Mrs. Mary Tompkins, Mrs.
Ella Freindel, Joseph, Rose and
Thressa. All but Timothy reside in
Emporium to comfort their respected
mother, The funeral of deceased took
place from st. Marks church, Tuesday
morning, at 9:30, and was quite largely
attended. Many friends from out of
town attended the funeral. Among
relatives from out of town in atten-
dance were: Mr.. Timothy Gayney
and Jas. Gayney, (son and grandson

cident to public life. His political oppo-
nents were the first to bear the heartiess
and most generous tribute to the broad
kindliness of nature, the sweetness and
gentleness of character which so endeared
him to his close associates. To a standard
of lofty integrity in public life he united
the tender affections and home virtues
which are all-important in the makeup cr
national character. gallant soldier in
the great war for the Union, he also shone
as an example to all our people because of
his conduct in the most sacred and inti-
mate of home relations. There could be
no personal hatred of him, for he. never
acted with aughr but consideration for the
welfare of Others. No one could fail to
spect him who knew him in public or pri-
yate life. The defenders of those murder
GUS criminals who seek to excuse their
criminality by asserting that it is exercised
for political ends, inveigh against wealth
and irresponsible power. But for this as
sassination even this base apology cannot
be urged.

political Office for which the entire people
vote, and no Presdent-not even Lincoln
himself-was ever more earnestly anxious
to represent the well thought-out wishes of
the people; his one anxiety in every crisis
was to keep in closest touch with the peo-

elected to the Presidency because the ma

To the Senate and House of Representa-
tives:
The Congress assemblies this year under
the shadow of a great calamity. On the
sixth of September, President Mckinley
was shot by an anarchist while attending
the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo,
and died in that city on the fourteenth of
that month.
OF the last seven elected Presidents, he
is the third who has been murdered, and
the bare recital of this fact is sufficient to
justify grave alarm among all loyal Amer
lean citizens. Moreover the circumstances
of this, the third assassination of an Amer
lean President, have a peculiarly sinister
significance. Both President Lincoln and
President Garfield were killed by assassins
of types unfortunately not uncommon in
history; President Lincoln falling a victim
to the terrible passions aroused by four
years of civil war, and President Garfield
to the revengeful vanity of a disappointed
office-seeker President Mckinley was
killed by an utterly depraved criminal be-
longing to that body of criminals who OBJ
ject to all governments, good and bad
alike, who are against any form of pop
ular liberty if it is guaranteed by even the
most just and liberal laws, and who are as
hostile to the upright exponent of a free
peoples sober will as to the tyrannical and
irresponsible despot.
Tribute to Mr.. Mckinley.

of President McKinley's death he was the

with R. B. Rusk for the collection of ashes

the collection and disposal Of night soil, at

Trade Generally Dull and Largely in
the Hands of Observation-Disclosures
Products Very Firm.

CHICAGO, Dec. 14-An inclination to
take profits and Saturday dullness worked
against the cold weather bull factor in
grains to-day. and May wheat closed sc
down, corn 1sc up and oats Aq2s lower.
Provisions closed 5q7l9c to 121kc higher.
Wheat had a dull, steady market, ruling
firm early, but soon losing the gain.
Weather conditions had good deal to do
with the speculative temperament, and the
early cables were something of a help. Re
ceipts were light, and May opened shade
lower to AQ2sc up at S02sc to SO%c. and
quickly sold up to S0%QS1c Trade was
not important, and the early demand from
commission houses was about the only
feature. This soon gave way to profit
taking on the bulge, and the market grad
ually sagged off to 1850, closing weak and
sc lower at 79$4Q797sc. Local receipts were
40 cars, none of contract grade Minneapo-
lis and Duluth reported AGA cars, a total of
5N cars, against 764 last week and 527 a
year ago. Primary receipts were $4,000 bu.
against $4,000 blu last year. Seaboard
clearances equaled $4,000 bu.
Corn was fairly active and ruled firm the
greater part Of the session. The early de-
mand was largely the part of shorts.
but the outside markets were also fair
buyers. The cold weather brought the
early squirt on the fear that heavier feed
ing to stock would be necessary. The cash
movement was slow and the country
ceptances free. Professionals took fair
lines OF long corn at low prices. May
opened BqAc to $s412c up, advanced to
6S14c, but on profit-taking sold down to
671sc. The close was steady and 1sc higher
a. 67AQ673sc. Receipts were 167 cars.
Oats were moderately active, but ruled
easy after the early bulge. Trade was
small for the commission house account,
and was mostly sales. May opened 1s4Ac

and closed weak and Aq3Sc down at 4512c.
