RepeIling a slander.
Democratic newspapers and orators,
who are now busy trying to fool the
people, insist that Republican sway
has been blight to Pennsylvania;
but the glorious old commonwealth re
pels this slander from every mill and
mine and factory and railroad within
It's borders, and from every savings
bank In which the surplus earnings OF
It's frugal and happy people are de

Not only Is Pennsylvania great In

That Ledger Fasco.
It has become known that Jchn

self as a member of the Penn vi ana
Protective ,lnion, has as1 re igned
as vice president Of the Public Ledger
CCmrany aud director of the Curt
Publishing Company.
This rs perhaps the hottest shot that
has been fired into the antiPenr Sc
coalition to date. Mr.. Gribbel has Ions
been prominent figure in the Cur

demanded that his name be taken
down from the editorial columns Ct
the Ledger will make II very diflic 1t
