DEFEAT in his fight for reelection
stares John Dalzell, the champion oil
tariff 10 Congress, in the face. 30 pro-
nounced and strong has become the OPP
position to him in Pittsburg that the
administration at Washington has been
appealed to for help, and is sending At
torney General Moody to Pittsburg to
speak from the same platform with Sen
ator Knox, al meeting to be presided
over in person by Congressman Dalzeii'
on Saturday night. At the same time
the United States steel trust, the Penn
sylvauia Railroad, the Westinghouse In
terests and the Pittsburg Coal Company,
whose leading concerns are in Mr.. Dali
zelPs district, are working hard for him,
and within the past few days. it is said,
they have poured not less than $oOo,-
900 into the district to assist in return
ing Dalzell to Congress, which shows
what a valuable man TO the trusts he Is.
BY special act last year there was
new congressional district, the Thrift
eth, formed round Dalzell, taking 10 al!
the big works of the trusts mentioned.
This now promises to be the undoing OF
the tariff champion, as ex-Msyor r. J.
Black, of McKeesport, is making hard
6ght against Dslzell, and in that labor
stronghold his strength is great.

Mr.. HEARST, it seems. fails to appeal
to many OF the working class. ln New
York last night the would-be Governor
found himself speaking to empty benches
when he attempted to address what was
intended to be gathering of laboring
men. This class, while possessing
Drawn, are not without brains. and can
see the hollowness of certain people who
pose IS their champions. OF all the men
who have attempted to ride the labor
hobby Hearst is the most transparent
imposter, and workingmen in general
will not allow themselves to form the tail
of his political kite.

and said it was pleasing to realize that
the State had been enabled to thus
provide for those who had served her
in her need. The State was prosperous
and its population exceeded that of both
Virginia and West Virginia before the
war. The race question was never less
menscing or better handled and under
stood. None had been more active in
bringing about this condition than the
Oonfederstes. The sum for pensions was
not more than half what the common.
wealth would provide if she could. He
spoke of the act of Congress appropriate
ing 5000. 600 for marking the graves of
Confederate soldiers as an illustration of
Jasper's theory that the "suu do move.

many thousands of spectators. Mrs
