The admiral in his letter to Secretary
Long challenges that specification,
which states as a fact that he had dis

modified. The department in its reply
declined to make the suggested modi-

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1901-10-10

The Clearfeld County Fair Asso-
ciatlon managers have been arrest
ed for allowing games of chance to
be operated on the grounds. The
charges have been made by Rev. ].
M. Waddell, pastor of the Clear,
field Presbyterian church. The
sentiment, generally, is in favor of
the fair authorities. The majority
of people contend that the reverend
gentleman should have caused the
arrest of the booth owners, who had
signed an agreement with the fair
managers that no gambling would
be permitted. The Association had
no knowledge of the presence of
gamblers on the ground, and of
course are greatly chagriued about
their arrest.

that success is more likely to result
from a union Of the anti-machine
forces.
" Every good Democrat should
carefully acquiesce in the Judgment
of the majority and especially when
he is not asked to indorse any
principle or advocate any measure
to which reasonable objection can
be made. There is something be
fore us this year more important
than quibbling over party names,
personal interest or partisan ad-
vantage. There is, in fact, no politi-
cal question before us in this con-
test. The men elected this fall will
have nothing more to do with the
tariff question, the financial prob
lem, the ship subsidy scheme, the
Nicaragua canal or any other politi-
cal subject than the man in the
moon.
There is a higher and more inn
portant issue than all these wrang.
les over matters of money. The
principles Of the decalogue itself are
forced upon us as the gage of battle
and we are called upon to decide
whether bribery, perjury and gen
eral political corruption shall be re-
buked or whether they shall be
willfully indorsed at the ballot box
" 1t will not be considered out OF
place TO say word as to the Hon.
Elisha a. Coray, who will be pre-
sented by the Independent Repu-
blicans to take the place made va
cant by my withdrawal. He is a
gentleman whose integrity and
capability cannot be Justly assailed
and one whom no voter need hesi-
tate to support if lie desires to aid a
candidate who is fully competent
and thoroughly honest. No man
who supports him will ever have
cause to regret it through any act
of Mr. Coray.
" To ascertain how faithfully he
has stood by the honest people OF
the State it is but necessary to exa-
mine the proceedings Of the Legis-
lature since 1896. His voice and
vote have ever been for the right
and against the wrong, and his
hands are unstained by the briber' 5
touch.
" wish to say in closing that
shall always bear in grateful re-
membrance the kind treatment ac-
corded me since the nomination by
the newspapers Of the State, regard
less Of their party bias, as we'll as
oy the notification committee, the
members of the State Central com
mittee and the leaders of the party
generally. Hoping that right and
justice may prevail in the coming
contest and victory perch upon your
banners, l am, sincerely yours,

bled in this or any other State.
Goblin as presiding officer Of one of
the branches had rare opportunities
to follow the proceedings and OBJ
serve the methods which prevailed.
AS he is a stalwart Republican 1t
cannot be charged that he was in
fluenced to his criticism by political
prejudice or personal spleen. On
the contrary it is only fair TO assume
that he told the truth as he saw it
and regretfully as he himself de-
clared.
In view Of these facts it must have
been surprising to those within the
sound Of Governor Stones voice to
hear him, speaking for his party,
declare that he accepted the Legis-
lature and its work as ftly repre-
senting the morality of his party.
He protested that The State govern
ment is not corrupt and that the
Legislature as represented in the
last session is a most virtuous and
meritorious body. May be he was
constrained to that course by the
memory OF the fact that the candi-
date of his party for the important
Office OF State Treasurer was not
only part of the Legislature but a
conspicuously bad part. Whatever
of evil was perpetrated during the
session Frank c.. Harris was large
ly responsible for. He not only
went along" to use the vernacular
of the lobby, but he led in the most
atrocious piece of legislation that
was considered and sacrificed every
public interest at the mandate of
the machine. 1t was courageous
for the Governor to endorse the re-
cord Of the Legislature and in view
Of the facts, logical. In the nomina-
tion of Harris it was endorsed any
way and it is probably wise to try
to carry out the bluff.
Hello Speaking OF candidates
aud bluff the Republican candidate
for Justice of the Supreme court is
dandy. Appointed by Stone not be-
cause he was fit but because he was
partner, he has during his brief
service brought reproach on the
tribunal for the first time in its long
and honorable history. While a
question in which the Governor was
directly interested was before the
court Justice Potter "electioneered"
the court in favor of decision de-
sired by his master and communi-
Gated the secrets of the court by
telephone. A Justice ofthe Supreme
court OF the United States in COM
menting on the incident declared
that Potter ought to have been i'm
peached and one Of the most dis
tinguished common pleas judges Of
this State expressed the belief that
a crime had been committed against
every Judge on the bench. Cover
nor Stone referred to several bills
passed by the Legislature as merit
orious but it is safe to say that in
his opinion the most important of
all was the one which makes it a
misdemeanor to expose the secrets
of telephone message. Hello there,
voter is that you? Are you going
to vote for Governor Stones hello

IN FAVOR OF FUSION.
Andrew J. Palm Withdraws From the Demo
cratic Stale Ticket.

There is now nothing in the way
of fusion in this State. The path
was made clear OH Monday when
Andrew J. Palm, withdrew from the
nomination. State Chairman Greasy
has his formal withdrawal, while
Secretary Of the Commonwealth
Griest has his sworn statement. Mr..
Palm commends his probable sue
ecssor TO the people of Pennsylvania
in most complimentary language,
declaring there is no issue in the
campaign but patriotism and princi-
pie and denies a story circulated by
the State machine managers that he
is being forced off the ticket. His
letter follows:
MEADvILLE, Pa, October 7.
Democratic State Central Commit
tee, Per Hon. w. T. Greasy,
Chairman, Harrisburg, Pa.
Gentlemen; At the recent
Democratic State convention stated
publicly as we'll as privately that
would not stand in the way Of unit
ing the reform forces of the State
on fusion ticket, if such union
should seem advisable. At the
notification meeting six weeks later
| again expressed willingness to
withdraw if the Democratic State
central committee should deem it
wise in order to effect a fusion of
the anti-machine forces.
From the general tone of the
Democrats press, as we'll as from
the opinions of the members of the
committee who have been consulted,
| am convinced that the Democratic
sentiment of the State is strongly in
favor of uniting our strength with
that Of the Independent Repubi-
cans in what promises to be sue
cessful contest against that political
organization which is 50 lost to all
sense of honor and shame as to in
dorse the last Legislature in a State
platform.
while it is true that the State
convention passed a resolution indi-
eating opposition to fusion, it is
equally true that great change in
sentiment has taken place since the
18th of August, and there is 10
doubt that if convention were to
be held today it would be heartily
in favor Of uniting with those who
are fighting the same battle for bet,
ter government.
In view of all that goes to make
up the present political situation,
deem it my duty as citizen, as we'll
as a candidate, to do what l can to
make the way clear for a fusion
ticket, and, therefore, l have this
day forwarded notice of my with,
drawal as nominee for State Treas
urer to be flied in the Office of the
Secretary of the Commonwealth.
In the hope of creating feeling
of antagonism some Of the Republi-
can papers have been saying that
am to be thrown off the ticket oi
forced to withdraw. The truth is
that neither Democrat or Independ-
ent Republican has demanded OF
even requested my withdrawal. Or
the contrary all who have mention,
ed the matter have said that if
preferred to remain OH the ticket
that would end further talk of fusion
as far as they were concerned; and
while l would willingly continue as
a candidate, if that were thought
best tor the cause in which all good
citizens are so deeply interested,
withdraw just as willingly since a
majority Of these citizens believe
