According to the report OF the dele
gates attending from Mt Vernon
Lodge. the convention just closed was
one of the most enjoyable ever held

Railway Track In River Bed.

A half mile of ties and railroad iron
have recently been discovered in the
Allegheny river between Oil City and
Franklin. The rails show the trade
mark, "B. B. l. c. indicating that they
were turned out by the Brany's Bend
Iron company, the first to manufacture
iron for railroads west of the Ale
ghany mountains. AS the Franklin
branch of the former Atlantic ana
Great Western, now the Erie railroad
and the Franklin and jamestown
branch of the Lake Shore railroad

river closely it would be probably a
difficult matter to determine which of
these roads lost a section of their line
years ago by a landslide. The Brady's
Bend Iron company has been out of
business for nearly or quite 40 years.

him of being a CRATER, as it was re-
ported he had done, he would make
him prove it.
Mayor Wright, who was seated in

audience that Anderson had been
guilty OF an attempted petty $40 graft

collect that amount from a widow who
sought his advice regarding the dis

PUBLICITY OF CONTRIBUTIONS.

No contributions from corporatio
no contributions above $4,000 from any
source; all contributions above 500 re
ceived up 10 the 18th of October TO be
made public on that date; all contribu-
lions of 800 or over received after the
18th of October TO be published on the
day the same are received, and no con-
tributions above slO0 shall be accepted
within three days OF the election.
The above is Mr.. Bryan's idea of
publicity of campaign contributions.
and the same was embodied in a reso-
hilton unanimously adopted by the
Democratic national committee.
The plan of the Republican managers.
we believe, is to accept money from
any and all sources, without restric-
ton as to amount. and publish the list
after the election is over, when the
opening of the eyes of the voters will
come too late to affect the result.
The Democratic platform contains a
pledge in the following language:
I'VE pledge the Democratic party To
the enactment of a law prohibiting any
corporation from contributing to a
campaign fund and any individual
from contributing any amount above a
reasonable amount, and providing for
the publication before election OF all
contributions above a reasonable mini
num-"
That pledge has been redeemed in ad-
vance of the election. No corporation
money will be accepted in this struG-
gle for supremacy. The fight will be
made squarely upon the platform as
adopted by the Denver convention. and
no promises will be made to those en-
joying ill-gotten gains in exchange for
liberal contributions.
VIII Candidate Taft and the Repub-
ncan national committee meet the is
sue and come out i'm the open and
wage an honest battle? Even though
the hodge podge Republican platform
fails TO carry any recommendation OF
the sort. the candidates and their man
ayers can show their faith by Their
works and follow the good example sci
by Mr.. Bryan?
Mr.. Taft was prompt in answering 8
telegram regarding publicity once upor
time Let us see what he will Do
now that IL has come to a showdown
