Editorial Comment.
Democracys Bid for Victory.
CPhiladelphia Inoujrer)

Colonel Guffey's Democrats have met
at Allentown and nave put in their
bio for victory at the polls. They had
intended to nominate for Governor
their last years candidate for the Su-
preme Court, Mr.. Munson, but some
where a cog slipped and it was Mum
son himself who made his selection
impossible. He declined in advance,
perhaps having arrived at the con-
clusiOn that the outlook was not suf-
iciently cheerful to warrant him in
deVoting several months to hard cam
paSn work and to the payment Of
huge campaign bills. So Colonel Cuff
fey and his convention were forced to
look elsewhere, and as result State
Senator Webster Grim, who dWells in
Bucks county, is to bear the brunt Of
battle.
The platform upon which this stan
dard bearer of Pennsylvania Democ-
racy has been placed is fearfully and
wonderfully constructed. There are
State matters in it, but there is little
for the public to complain of in the
present management of State affairs.
The Republican administration has
been entirely acceptable. Since the
special session of the Legislature
calico during Governor Pennypacker's
term the general welfare has domin-
ated the legislative bodies. 1t will be
q pretty difficult task for the Demo-
Gratis to stir up State issues. for there
are no state issues OF moment.
Nor do they expect to do so in
reality They have sought a contest
on national affairs. and the tariff is to
be the main topic for discussion on the
political hustlingS.
They are after the Congressional dis
tricts in the expectation Of capturing
some of them and making possible a
Democratic House. with their eyes
turned towards the Presidential cam
paign two years hence. To aid them
in their Congressional work they will
Gubernatorial candidate and conduct a
canvass in every Legislative district
as we'll. AS standard bearer of
Democracy we presume their selection
will answer as well as anyone else.
Perhaps there are enough followers
of or sympathiZers with Colonel Cuff
fey's Personally Conducted Party to
give it a victory in November next,
but we do not believe that Pennsyl-
vania is ready just yet to go in for
tariff smashing and a general business
upheaval

Names New Bureau.

Cities, towns and even villages of
the prosperous West in recent years
have established commercial clubs
with commercial secretaries for the
purpose of making public the ad-
vantages of each in order to bring in
an increased population. These COM
mercial secretaries act as business
agents OF their towns. They are paid
fair salaries. in most cases larger
than the mayors or selectmen receive
in order that these men may devote
all their energies and time to efforts
of publicity and the obtaining of in
retaries even go SO far as to keep
track of marriage intentions in COM
munities far and near for the purpose
of seeking out and endeavoring to
persuade the newly WEEDS to establish
their homes in the towns or cities
they represent. They will scurry
over states and Assoc farmers to come
to the secretaries localities and take
up farms. In every way, these COM
mercial secretaries backed by these
commercial clubs work to increase
the material prosperity of their home
towns.

When YOU stop to think about the

expected that Democratic newspapers

ministration of Governor Fernald.
What the Democrats are after is the

is hardly passing strange that they are

Mental Reservation Among GARDENERS
Friends


Those who witnessed the felicitous
manner in which Mr.. Gardner, the de-
feated candidate, introduced his sue
cessful competitor, Mr.. Plaisted, not
only appreciated his grit but laughed
at his humor. This ability to cheer
fully face a convention, that had
branded him. and call forth a hearty
laugh by telling good story well
commanded attention
In the New Ages account of the
convention this story by Mr. Gardner
does not appear. We reprint it:
Il feel like a friend of mine down
home. who asked his hired man to
drive post in the ground while he
held it, The employe allowed the
hammer to digreSs enough to hit his
employer on the head, Telling him tC
the ground When he arose the hired
man asked him if he was hurt and he
answered: Well. you darn fool, you
hit me on the head with a hammer
and then ask me if I'm hurt"

stood by him to the last in defense of
his reputation against the attacks OF
certain Of those who controlled that
convention had reason to he proud of
their candidate. Being human beings
as well as loyal friends and realizing
just what was taking place and why,
is it not fair assumption that their
minds entertained mental reservations
