THE PENNSYLVANIA CAMPAIGN.

Everybody in Pennsylvania is looking
ness to happen at the coming election.
The campaign is now fairly opened
since the Democrats met at Harrisburg
last week. nominated full ticket and
declared their views of the issues. The
Republicans had already put q State
positive and welI-outlined platform,
calling for practical reforms and MAX
ing specific promises. The State ticket
and the platform highly commend
themselves to the people of the State.
but it is felt that Senator Penrose, VINO
has succeeded to the boss-ship, so long
administered by Senator Quay, made a
great mistake in not having the ticket
nominated and the platform adopted in
an open Convention. What the Con-
vention did was undoubtedly the prod
uct Of the best Republican thought of
Pennsylvania, and if the Convention had
been the free product of the people in
the various Counties and Townships, 1t
could not have been any better or more
acceptable.
1t seems that Senator Penrose was
not content with this, but employed his
machinery and sent such men to the
Convention as he desired and to put
through his slate. This is the most
serious obstacle In the way of his sue
cess. There has been for years very
grave dissatisfaction with the party
management in Pennsylvania, and this
eliminated last year in open revolt and
the carrying of the great city of Phila-
delphia by the reformers. The main
thought of very strong proportion of
the Republicans is to effectuaIiy down
Senator Penrose's leadership and get
rid of him entirely. Undoubtedly much
of this opposition is due to other men s
ambitions which are baked by Mr.. Pen
rose and his friends. But 1t cannot be
good men and citizens do not like
Mr.. Penrose, and like still less the men
who surround him and dictate the pol
icy of the Republican Party.
The Democrats are even more dissat-
isfied with the leadership of Col Cuff
fey, and they made this opposition so
effective that Guffey saw the game was
up, and retired from all management or
dictation OF the Convention. The Demo-
Gratis who are opposed to Col. Guffey
feel that they have an opportunity to
carry the State. which they can only do
by forming an alliance with the dissat-
isfied Republicans. THE Lincoln Par
ty,' largely made up of these Repub-
licans has been showing much strength,
and eyinced a willingness to unite with
the Democrats upon good ticket and
platform not too radical. The Con-
Vention, therefore, nominated for Gov
ernor Lewis Emery, of Bradford, who
was the Lincoln Party nominee, and
who was bitterly opposed by Col Cuff
fey: for Lieutenant Governor Jere S.
Black, of York, was nominated; Will
liam 7. Greasy, a Prohibitionist, for
Auditor-General. and for Secretary IF
Internal Affairs, John j. Green, of Phil
adeiphia. The platform deals entirely
with State affairs, except one plank,
which commends William j. Bryan, but
does not make declaration in favor of
his nomination. 1t says that the public
questions which concern the General

The attitude of Gov. Hoch, of Kan
sas, does not commend itself to thinking
people. For reasons which were suffi-
upon the statute books law condemn
ing to death murderers who had been
duly found guilty by a jury of their
countrymen and sentenced by the
Judge. There are so of these now in

of the Governor to their death warrants.
who says fatty that he will never sign
them, and INDUCES in a great deal Of
bathos about sending men to he'll" and
rebuking ministers of the Gospel and
others who have besought him to en-
force the law. 1t must be confessed
that the Governor makes a poor show
ing in what he deems his arguments
When he was candidate for Governor
of Kansas, when he was elected, when
he took the oath of office, he entered
into sacred obligation with the people
to enfc ce such of their laws as he
found upon the statute books. He has
simply no option in the matter, and his
opinion of those laws is a purely per-
sonal matter entirely disconnected with
his official functions. If he does not
like the laws, it is his duty and privilege
to induce the Legislature to amend
them; but as long as they are laws he
is under the most decided obligations to
see that they are carried out according
to the will and intent of the Legislature
He is setting very bad example to the
community in the matter of law-abid
ing.

Death of John Cleveland.

John Cleveland, one of the old
and respected residents of this coun.
ty, died at his home south of this
city last Monday evening. He had
been ailing for some time and his
death was caused by cancer of the
liver. The deceased was native Of
New York state, and in 1882 came
west and located in Illinois where he
lived until 1864. In that year he re-
moved to Delaware county where he
has ever since resided.
Mr.. Cleveland was a man of ster.
ling integrity, good friend and
neighbor and one whose death is
mourned by all who knew him. He
is survived by son, A. H. Cleve'
land, and a daughter, Eva A. The
funeral will be held at the house this
Wednesday afternoon at 1870, Rev
w. Fl. Ensign, officiating.

David B. Henderson.

Colonel Henderson, the Scotch
farmer lad from the neighboring
county of Fayette, died at Mercy
Hospital in Dubuque last Sunday.
His was an eventful life. AS a
soldier, a lawyer and statesman his
place was at all times in the first
rank. A volume, might be written,
and the record of his achievements
still remain incomplete. In politics
he climbed fame's ladder higher
than was ever climbed by any other
citizen of the great region which lies
west of the Mississippi river. He was
a generous friend, and in his big
heart there was no room for enmity
toward anyone, and for that reason
he was loved by his political adver-
aries as much as by his party asso-
ciates. His funeral will be held in
Dubuque tomorrow. and the State Of
Iowa will be chief mourner at his
bier. He was the States most dis
tinguished son.

The following simple remedy is
being published by New Jersey
state board of health as sure cure
for pneumonia: take six to ten
onions, according to size, and chop
fine, put in a large spider over a
hot fire, then add the same quantity
Of rye meal and vinegar, enough to
form a thick paste. In the mean
time stir it thoroughly, letting it
simmer FIVE or ten minutes. Then
put in a cotton bag large enough to
cover the lungs and apply to chest
as hot as the patient can bear. In
about ten minutes apply another,
and thus continue by relocating the
poultices, and in few hours the
patient will be out Of danger. This
simple remedy has never failed tc
cure this too often fatal malady
Usually three or four applications
will be sufficient, but continue
always until the perspiration starts
freely from the chest. This remed.
was formulated by one of the bes
physicians New England has eve
known, who never lost patient b
the disease, and won his owA re

Mrs. George G. Hawley died at

morning, and was buried in the

1855, and in few days thereafter
moved to the home prepared for her

In 1854, G.. G. Hawley, w. B.
Smith and e. S. Cowles purchased
land adjoining each other on the
highway between Lamont and For
estville, and the following year
found all three of them with their
young wives occupying these farms.
They were pioneers in that locality
and were more than ordinarily in
telligent and industrious people.
For more than fifty years, from
March 1856 until Oct. 1905, these
six people were neighbors and close
friends. Now there are but three of
them left. Last October Mrs. Cowles

Our Clubbing Arrangement With the
Homestead.

Our Clubbing Arrangement With the
Homestead.
A statistician has estimated that
if one good grain were added to
each ear of corn grown in one Of the
states of the corn belt, it would add
100000 to the yearly product of
the state. If, instead Of one grain
a dozen were added or if a whole ear
were added to each hill, the gain
would be correspondingly greater,
running into the millions in the
latter case. Not only in corn, but in
all the products of the farm, includ-
ing live stock, improvement is the
watchword of the times. A single
county like Delaware would be
largely enriched by adopting the
best methods in any agricultural Or
live stock line of work, as many of
our farmers are already doing. A
good agricultural paper like The
Homestead, of Des Moines, Iowa,
setting forth each week the best
methods of increasing the size and
value of the farmers output, is a
boon to any community. The Man
chester Democrat has completed
clubbing arrangements with this
excellent farm Journal and will be
glad to forward your subscription
for it.
