Seibert Tells Why
He Bolts Democracy.
Democratic Chairman of Potter County Says
the Only Trust Ignored at st. Louis was
Trust in God.

The only trust, / believe, for
gotten or ignored by the national
convention was the trust in God" !"
is the declaration of l.. b. Seibert,
leader of the Potter county Demo
cratic boilers.
Seibert who has resigned the
craftsmanship of the Democratic
county committee, and his follow
ers in the revolt feel no more kind
ly disposed to the Parker Davis
ticket than they did the day it was
nominated. They say they are
not to be wheeled about by the
convention reputation of Bryan
ism, and they charge the nomina-
tion of Parker directly to the in
fuence of Wall street and the
trusts.
CAN'T TRAVEL ON TWO ROADS.
The ex-county chairman has put
forth what might be called a pro-
clamation, in the course of which
he says:
To me, it is no consequence
what others may do. My con-
science is my own; my duty is
plain. In my judgement the two
contending forces within the Demo
cratic party have come to the part
ing Of the ways. Along both of
these pathways | am unable to
travel with any degree of safety,
success or self-respect. Neither
shall | undertake it. TO others of
more acrobatic turn of mind this
might be possible, aud, indeed,
may meet with certain de-
gree of transitory success.
The heritage of Jackson, no
longer the Mecca of Democratic
hosts, is to be displaced by
memorial to Shylock, erected at
the gateway of the Temple Of
Democracy, over which, indeed,
well be incribed: He who en-
ters here leaves hope behind. "
From Buzzard's Bay to Wool
fert's Roost; from Wall to Lom-
bard street, is sounded, echoed and
re-echoed this slogan of the pres
ent campaign: Another Cleve-
land; another administration like
that of from 1892 to 1896: more
soup houses: more bond issues;
more forced idleness-less honest
toll: more money in the public
jackpOt-less bread for the hungry
millions; more CoXey's armies
less public improvement; more
keep off the grass-less comfort for
Gods poor: more smokeless smoke
stacks; more tramps; more troops
for Chicago rioters-less liberty for
the American workman, more gov
ernment by injuntion-less jury
trials; more banks-lcss money for
the people; more business stagna-
tlon-less enterprise: more Sheriff's S
sales; more poor houses"

DEATHS iDOINGS.
JORDAN,


WILLIAM ORLow JORDAN died at
the home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
j. X. Jordan, West Sixth street, Sun
day evening about 10:30 O'Clock from
Tuberculosis of the throat. He was
but in the twenty-sixth year of his age
and the general community not being
aware of the serious nature of his ill
ness, heard the announcement Of his
death with mingled feelings of surprise
and sorrow. His illness began three
years ago, in Coudersport, where he
held responsible position with lead
ing mercantile firm and where his too
close application TO work superinduced
the attack that baffied the best efforts
of his physicians. He was subse-
qaently employed in Chicago and
spent the last winter in Pensacola,
Florida, in the hope of regaining his
health but with )ut avail. A letter re-
ceived from his employer in Florida
bears testimony to the patience and
perseverance of his habits of industry
and the pureness of his life. He was a
member of the First Methodist Epsco-
pal Churc of Emporium and during
his residence here was regular in his
Sunday School attendance and active
in promoting the interests of the Ep-
worth League Chapter, to which he
was closely attached. Mr.. Jodan was
a young man of many sterling qualities
and was highly esteemed by every
body. He was modest and retiring in
his disposition. Realizing his probable
nearness to death he displayed no
feelings of dread but was kept tranquil
by the repose of his trust in God
He was a member of the class of'95
of the Emporium High School. He was
also member of Eulalia Lodge, No.
342, F. & A. NJ Coudersport, Pa, and
member of the Scottish Rites Masons
of the same place.
Surviving him are a father and
mother, two brothers Joseph and Harry
and a sister Rena.
The floral display was beautiful and
consisted of many expensive pieces,
especially the Masonic Offering.
His funeral was held from the hc ne
of his parents, Wednesday afternoon,
and was in charge of his pastor the
Rev. O. S. Metzler. The choir of the
First Methodist Episcopal Church ren.
dered appropriate music. Members Of
the local Masonic Lodge attended in
body and performed their ritual at the
grave.

such leadership are said to be by
the action of the st. Louis conven-
ton, ''safe, sane and conserva-
tive The st. Louis convention
was absolutely controlled and in
fiuenced by interests hostile to
every tenet of Democracy. They,
who deserted the party in 1896
and 1900, were made masters of the
situation.
Every unlawful and criminal
trust was legally, actually and
properly represented in that body.
Their paid hirelings and hoodlums
hooted and jeered Mr.. Bryan and
other distinguished Democrats
simply because they attempted to
save the Democratic party from
utter rout and pending annibila-
ton.
The only trust, | believe, for
gotten or ignored by that conven-
tion was the trust in God, as evil
denced by the hooting and shout
ing during the prayer of the chap
lain.
Those, whose intrigue was in
directly the cause of the assassin s
blow that killed Governor Goebel,
of Kentucky, were the loudest ad-
Vocates of the "safe, sane and con-
servative Democracy" They who
cheered Hobson, that Jack
Ashore" when he eulogized
Grover Cleveland for sending
United States troops to Chicago to
shoot down strikers, are not Demo
Gratis; at least, not my kind of
Democrats.
TRUSTS HAND IN IT ALL.
1t was but natural that a conven-
ton controlled by such influences.
made drunken by contributions
from the Louisville, the Standard
Oil, the Sugar Trust and kindre d
interests, could not give birth to q
legitimate standard bearer of true
Democracy; but in keeping with
the natural order of things a can
didate with the cunning of a clam
was brought into political existence
by Senator Hill.
The Sheehans, Belmonts and
McCarrens Immediately became his
trusted friends and adviserers. His
name was presented to the conven-
tion and he was nominated.
Though suffering with political
luckjaw, this "human interroga-
tion joint found time to speak.
After the mischief had been done,
he informed Mr.. Sheehan of that
which Mr.. Sheehan well knew be-
fore the nomination, that he,
Parker, would repudiate the con
ditions, upon which the nomina-
tion had been effected.
In conclusion, permit me to add
that the "safe, sane and conserva-
tive" have separated themselves
socially, politically and, thank
God, morally from the unsafe, un-
sound and non-conservative fol-
lowing of Mr.. Bryan. Lunatic
regularity, itwould seem, must be
both unsatisfactory, and undesir-
able to the "safe and sane"
For these and many other
reasons, which hope to make en-
tirely plain to you before Novem-
Der next. ! cannot and will not
vote for Alton b. Parker, agreeing
with many of my associates that
the initials of his name stand for
A Bad Proposition.

DEATH STRIKES
DOWN FORMER
STATE RULER.
Ex-Governor Pattison Dies of Pneumonia
Complicated With Heart Failure.

Robert E. Pattison, who was twice
Democratic Governor of Pennsylvania,
and twice Controller of Philadelphia,
died early on Monday at his home in
Overbrook. Pneumonia, complicated
with weakness of the heart, was the
cause of death.
Mr.. Pattison was a candidate for
Governor on the Democratic ticket
against Governor Pennypacker in 1902,
and had not been a we'll man since his
laborious campaign in that year, when
his tour of seven weeks covered nearly
every county in the State.
He was a member of the committee
on resolutions of the recent Democratic
convention and his health failed under
the strain. He remained in st. Louis
a few days after the convention to rest
and, returning home, resumed his bust
ness, dividing his time between Phila-
delphia and New York.
Last Friday pneumonia developed
and heart complications aggravated
Mr.. Pattison's illness.

ANOTHER HANGING sHEpuLEr

Rozum Found Guilty at Grafton and
Sentenced to the Extreme Penalty. 8
Murderer Rozum must hang. The
jury In the case retired at 4 o'clock
Thursday afternoon and soon reached
an agreement as to the guilt Of
Rozum, but labored until 4 o'clock the
next morning before agreeing on the
penalty to be imposed. For some time
they stood seven to five in favor of
the extreme penalty as some members
Of the jury seemed averse to infiict-
ing the extreme penalty. Finally the
consideration of the cold blooded at
tack Of Rozum on his victim led all
to vote for hanging.
Rozum killed Lewis Starman at
Pisek few weeks ago, Starmap was
employed in livery barn and .Rozum
conducted a blind pig. They quar-
relied and separated. Some time az
forwards Rozum appeared and shot
Starman. The victim WAS we'll known
over the state and served with the
Fargo company in the Philippines,
where he was known as Dutch Ex-
element"
Under the new law, the hanging
will have to take place at the state
penftentiary. Rozum win have at
least months to think over his ap-
preaching doom, as the law requires
6 months Imprisonment before the
death penalty is carried out. He will
be the second morderer in the institu-
ton awaiting death, as John Rooney
is there, awaiting the judgment Of the
q. s. supreme court on his case.
A New Book-Miss Ellen Glasgow's
new novel, 1.-THE Deliverance," the
first important book of 1904, is pub
lished by Doubleday, Page & Co. The
author of ''The Voice Of the People"
and "The Battle Ground" has this
time written q story Of profound
psychological interest, portraying the
development of a human soul through
suffering. The scene is the tobacco
country Of Virginia Of today. The
hero is an aristocrat; the heroine is
granddaughter Of an overseer. Love
and caste-prejudice are the motives.
Several Of our best critics say that
they do not recall novel by any
American author which more nearly
approaches the dignity and impress
iveness OF George iElliot's work.

OFFICERS ARE AFTER MERRY.

Sheriff 6ayer Of Clay County Gets
Extradition Papers for the Return
Of c. r. Merry from Dickinson to
moorhead on Charge Of Forgery.
Sheriff Bayer OF Clay county, Min
nesota, was in the city this morning
and obtained extradition papers from
Governor White for the return Of
Charles F. Merry from Dickinson to
Moorhead, MINI, where he is wanted
ON the charge Of forgery. The origin
al charge against Merry was a misde-
meanor, that of soliciting for insur-
ance in Minnesota for a company not
permitted to do business in the state
the Great Western Insurance CON-
pany" organized under the laws Of the
state Of West Virginia. Merry was
placed In charge OF deputy sheriff at
Moorhead, whom he gave the slip and
managed to get back to Dickinson.
He refused TO return with the officers
to Moorhead and as there was An old
charge against him at Dickinson pre-
ferred q. couple of years ago by. M. L.
Ayers Of the Dickinson Press, Merry
was surrendered to the sheriff by his
bondsmen and placed In jail where
he now is. Mr.. Ayers is IN the city
today and nolled his case against
Merry, that he might be turned over
to the custody Of the authorities at
Moorhead. The charge against him
is felony and things look dark for
Merry at the present time.
Sheriff Bayer says that Merry had
thousands of dollars In forged obi
cations on his person when he was
doing business in Moorhead. The
specific charge against him, and the
one upon which he is being extradited
Is negotiating a forged note for $25
signed with the name of Judge Steele
of Minneapolis, This he negotiated at
the hotel. Sheriff Bayer says Merry
had also q forged note On demand
for $1,000 signed with the name of
Judge Steele, another for the same
amount signed with the name of Dr..
Schweitzer, q prominent physician,
and other paper Of a similar character.
Merry has been we'll known as an
insurance man and promoter in the
state Tor many years and has been
frequently in trouble with the insur-
ance department of the state. He has
organized several companies nearly
if not all Of which have been pro-
nounced frauds by the state insurance
department. Several years ago he
organized q mutual insurance CON-
pany that was refused permission to
do business in the state. Then he
| went to West Virginia and fled arti-
cles OF incorporation for the Great
Western company and in soliciting
insurance for this he ran against the
Minnesota authorities. He was under
arrest In St. Paul several years age
