those who believe In the platform of
1896 arc genuine Democrats, and that

THURSDAY. JUNE 16, 1904.
REPUBLICAN TICKET.
FOR CONGRESS:
GEORGE A. PEARRE,
Of AlleganY County.
ILLINOIS TO VOTE FOR HEARST.
Of AlleSany County.

If there were any chance for the
nomination of Hearst at st. Louis,
that chance would be vastly increased
by the action Of the Illinois Demo
cratic Convention yesterday, in in
structing the delegates of that StaGe
to vote for Herst as long as his name
is before the National Convention.
Illinois is the third State in the Union,
with % electoral votes, and according
ly with "a votes in the St. Louis Con
vention. According 70 the instruc
tions ordained by the Illinois Demo
Gratis yesterday, these "a votes will be
solidly with Hearst first, last and all
the time" At an earlier stage in the
REORGANIZATION campaign, this result
of the Illinois scramble might have
made considerable impression, but
the trend toward a conservative can
didate-who is most likely to be
Judge Parker-has by this time be-
come too clearly pronounced to make
the Illinois action ground for alarm.
AS to the intrinsic significance of that
action, it is reduced to a minimum by
the circumstance that the control of
the Convention by John p Hopkins,
the Chicago boss,swas absolute and
fragrant. Hopkins, for reasons good
sufficient to himself, deemed it to his
interest to have the delegates instruct
ed for Hearst, and then Mr.. Clarence
S. Darrow, a bOnGfde Hearst man,
moved to amend the simple instruc-
tions to vote for Hearst by the addi-
ton of the words las long as his name
is before the Convention" This was
clear move, and one that could not
be opposed by Boss Hopkins without
a confession of inslncerity in his sup
port of Hearst The New York news
paper mans boom has all along been
in peculiar condition, anyway; if
anything helps it, the question imme-
diately arises whether it hasn't been
hurt more than it has been helped
The Parker movement derived its
main force from the desire to nip the
Hearst affair in the bud; and one of
the chief reasons of the decline of in
terest in Parker was the feeling that
Hearst had been sufficiently attended
to. If this Illinois affair should hap
pen to be viewed by the knowing in
politics as of serious import in aid of
Hearst, there will Immediately
be a fresh rallying round Parker,
with the result that the Hearst boom
will be rather worse off than before.

ON HIS LONG JOURNEY.
Rev j. B. Shoup. Started on Schedule
Time To Walk to ST. Louis.

Rev j. B. Shoup. Started on Schedule
Time To Walk to ST. Louis.
Some time during last winter. Rev.
j. b. Shoup, formerly of this county,
where he acceptably filed the Luther
an pulpit at Accident for a long num-
Der of years, and vino for the past
eighteen years or more resided with
his family at Fitzgerald, Ga, wrote
this paper letter for publication in
which he expressed his determination
to start from Cumberland on June
18th, the anniversary of his birth,
and walk the entire distance from
that point to St. Louis where he will
attend the Worlds Fair, and invited
some other of his old comrades to
join him in the tramp, but none ac-
cepted the invitation.
Nothing daunted, Notwithstanding
Mr.. Shoup's advanced years, he start
ed from Cumberland at sunrise on
last Saturday, following the National
Pike from that point to st. Louis.
On Sunday night Mr.. Shoup was in
Grantsville, where he preached to a
large and appreciative congregation,
leaving there the following morning
on his trip West.
When a young man Mr.. Shoup
walked a distance of three hundred
miles at a stretch and although not
now as young as he was in former
years, the same indomitable will per-
vades him. On the trip to st. Louis
he is carrying very little luggage con-
sisting mainly of change of clothing.
His baggage Drecedes him via ex-
press.
As above stated Mr.. Shoup is a
Lutheran minister, but owing to
severe sunstroke has not been able
to follow his calling and has led re-
tired life at his Georgia home, where
his wife and daughter and son, who
saw service in the Spanish-American
war in Cuba, reside. Rev. Shoup is
a civil war veteran, and saw service
as second lieutenant of Battery G, 3rd
Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery. Dur
ing the war he was stationed at For
tress Monroe, where he helped qua I'd
the late President Jefferson Davis, of
the Southern Confederacy. Rev.
Shoup arrived at Cumberland from
Gettysburg, where he attended the
Pennsylvania encampment. He is a
genial, venerable looking gentlem an,
quite hale and hearty for his age.
