THE INDIANA MESSENGER. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, i900. S. A. SMITH EDITOES AND PROPRIETORS in Advance.

THE LARGEST CIRCULATION IN INDIANA COUNTf HERE IS SOLID TRUTH. Morrow, Watson and Elder will not enter a Republican caucus to elect a United States Senator or organize the Legislature. Here is what the Philadelphia Inquirer thinks of the matter, and it is the actual truth: "If a candidate takes a party nomination it is his duty to sink his individual preference and abide by the majority decision. In no other way can business be transacted. If it were not for the caucus 2Q different Republican candidates might be named for Senator, and in such a state of affairs it might well be that the Democrats would elect their candidate to office.

As a matter of fact it is very well known that the Democrats will have a candidate for Senator in the nest Legislature and they will act together, and it is also very well known that the insurgents, when they cannot elect men of their own way of thinking to the Legislature, will undertake to elect Democratic members. The insurgent movement to-day is a Democratic movement, and we warn the Republicans of Pennsylvania, if they lend their aid to the nomination of candidates who will not agree to act with the majority of the Republican party, that they be giving their support directly to a Democrat already picked out." SHIRKS THE ISSUE. G. Rodgers prints a communication the Gazette last week in which he attempts to create the impression that the MESSENGER desires to block coal developments in this county. That's where Rodgers is off.

We have never said a word against the development of our county. We did, however, denounce the character of the leases which this fellow Rodgers induced a number of farmers to sign. The ordinary lease expires in a few months, or a year or two at most, but the lease presented by Rodgers is entirely in the interest of the capitaiist and may be extended, at Ms, option, for an unlimited number of years. To this method of deceiving the farmer, we objected, and our objection has made it pretty rough sledding for Mr. Rodgers, therefore he kicks.

He talks about representing "some of the foremost men in the United States" and says the people he represents will make "an expenditure of $3,000,000 in this county. We shall certainly throw nothing in the way of this vast enterprise but we can't help but think these men in the United States" who contemplate the expenditure of so large a sum in this county would have sent, as their representative, a more responsible man than this fellow Rodgers. Knowing him as we do, the idea that he is the advance agent of so important an enterprise is simply ridiculous. For been a hanger-on about the Senate at Harrisburg, serving subordinate capacities and had no standing to speak of. The idea of 'Bill' Rodgers representing a syndicate of millionaires must cause a smile to spread over the faces of those have an intimate knowledge of his peculiarities.

We don't care how many acres of coal he leases, but we do object to his style of leases, and whenever he presents his one-sided agreement to a farmer he should be kicked off the premises, even though accompanied by candidate Watson. This associate of millionaires and the promoter of great enterprises, is thus depicted in a book issued in 1893, giving brief sketches of the members of the Legislature and officers. It is official and is as follows 0. Rodgers, Message Clerk of the Senate, was born at Corsica, Jefferson county, April 2, 1853. The rest of his life is thus told by himself 'By the kind intervention of an All- Wise Providence I was thus saved the ignominy of being born on All Fool's Day.

I was educated in the common schools until the age of fifteen. At seventeen I was taken from the farm (where I had been bound out) to the academy at Eider's Ridge, Indiana county, to have the finishing touches placed upon an already magnificent education. I failed to place myself in touch with the faculty, however, and the scheme was not successful. I was then bound out to the proprietors of the Brookville Republican for three years, but long before the time had expired the proprietors aforesaid were only too glad to let loose of me. I have been engaged in selling dry goods, notions, groceries, leasing lands for oil and gas purposes and building oil and gas lines I have also engaged (disastrously) in skating rinks, fruit trees, patent washing machines, chemical erasers, subscription books, silverware and albums on the installment plan sold pools and refereed prize-fights and boat This will do for Rodgers at present, and Mr.

M. C. Watson can carry his banner. THE Gazette gang opened up its mud batteries on Attorney General ElMn last week and devoted much of that paper's space to personal abuse of one of our worthy citizens. It is the policy of that sheet and its managers to kick the ladder from under the feet of every citizen of the county who aspires to place, unless the person belongs to its special clique of kickers and party-wreckers.

The Republicans of the county will not endorse such narrowness, as they will demonstrate next Saturday. HON. JOHN P. ELKEN, present Attorney General of the State, has came up to his present high standing from the ranks. Mo man stands higher in the estimation Of the members of the bar all over the State than Mr.

Elkin. He is a credit to our county, and we all should be proud of his advancement. The mean jealousy of some of our would-be great men will not count against him. has done much to give our county a name and place among the counties of the Com- moirwealth, and no amount of personal abuse by his enemies will avail to lower Mm in the esteem of tbe people of his native county.

THE DEADLY PARALLEL. Rodgers, Watson's Friend, as a "Developer." Indiana Gazette, March Tlie persistent and un-called for attacks of the Indiana MESSENGER against the coal and railroad development proposed by New York and Philadelphia capitalists in your county, merits passing comment. Mr. Jackson and myself, in the interest of some of the foremost men in the United States, were sent to your county in October to get control of coal as a nucleus to the construction of a line of railway from Johnstown to the lakes.

We have succeeded in getting 58,000 acres by making purchase of leases in the hands of citizens of the county. All of this coal which will stand the inspection of the engineer who will come in the near future to pass on it, will be paid for as well as many thousands of additional acres which this company controls. Mr. Watson was employed by these people previous to our arrival and neither politics nor sentiment was in any way concerned in the deal. The expenditure of $3,000,000 in your county for coal and the construction of a first-class modern railway to carry coal and coke to the lakes, and ore to the furnaces should be welcomed, and have the good wishes of every progressive citizen, instead of such treatment as we are having, and I cannot think the good people of Indiana county approve of the attempt to drive us out.

Yours truly, W. C. BODGERS. as Sketched by Himself. Eodearmel's Sketch Legislative Officials of C.

Rodgers, Message Clerk of the Senzite. was born at Corsica, Jefferson county, April 2,1853. The rest of his life is told by himself: 'By the kind intervention of an All- Wise Providence I was thus saved the ignominy of being born on All-Fool's Day. I was educated in the common schools until the age of fifteen. At seventeen I was taken from the farm (where I had been bound out) to the Academy at Elder's Ridge, Indiana county, to have the finishing touches placed upon an already magnificent education.

The Indiana MESSENGER, in reply to the assertion of the Telegraph that no Republican newspaper in the entire State is opposed to the demand that all candidates for the Legislature mutt pledge themselves to go into caucus and stand by the nominees, says that there is one Republican paper which is opposed to so pledging Indiana County Gazette. The Telegraph still insists that it was right when it said that no Republican newspaper opposes the pledging of candidates, for if the Gazette opposes the pledge it is net a Republican newspaper, and it has no right to speak for Republicans who are Republicans from principle and believe that the fundamental principle of the party is that the majority shall rule.

The moment a Republican newspaper advocates any principle opposed to the majority rule, that moment it ceases to be a Republican newspaper, and that proves the Telegraph's contention that there are no Republican newspapers opposed to having the will of the majority carried out. BRADFORD, Wayne and Susquehanna counties have been added to the list that have handed in their allegiance to the regular Republican organization, and it looks as if the insurgents will have to depend upon Democratic counties, as usual. Boss FLINN got it in the neck last week in several of the counties which he agreed to turn over to the insurgents. He will get another of the same in Indiana county on Saturday. The Republicans are in favor of home rule and resent the interference in then: local affairs by party-wreckers from Pittsburg or elsewhere.

SOME of Boss Bill Flinn's men, who have been holding down responsible positions in the city government of Pittsburg, are in deep distress. They have been caught padding payrolls and the city is out many thousands of dollars. But William is not shedding as many tears over the event as when he was charging Republican officials at Harrisburg for doing the same thing. It makes a difference whose ox is gored. IN the seven counties where Republican primary elections have been held the friends of Senator Quay have nominated 6 Senators and 17 Assemblymen, and the enemies of Senator Quay have nominated one Assemblyman, and he only pulled through by the skin of his teeth.

And yet the insurgents are saying that the cause of Senator Quay is waning and his friends are deserting him. It would be funny, if it were not so pitiful. HON. BELL FLINN, the Pittsburg boss, is somewhat discouraged at the result of the Republican primaries in several of the counties which he proposed to control in the interest of the party- wreckers. But the result in the other counties has not weakened his desire to succeed in Indiana county, and he will spare no pains to secure the defeat of Fisher, Leard and Thompson.

But our people are not taking kindly to this sort of outside interference, and on Saturday will voice their sentiments in a manner that will make the millionaire political jobber shake in his boots. OUR members-of the Legislature, at the last session, were instrumental in securing an appropriation for a geological survey of several of our western counties, our own among the number. The small appropriation made by our State was supplemented by the National government, and last fall United States engineers made the preliminary survey of our county. The work will be continued during the summer of 1900 and will eventually result in a most complete geological chart of our county, showing every stream, hill and valley and every strata of eoal, limestone, fire-clay and all other minerals. This map will be of incalculable nse to our people in the disposal of their eoal interests as it will show every vein and its thickness under every farm in the county.

Messrs. Thompson and Leard secured the of our county in the western group, and it was through their efforts the appropriation for the important work was passed. At the liest session legislation to continue the work must be secured, and our old members are the men we want at Harrisburg to see that proper legislation is had. With Fisher in the Senate and Thompson and Leard in the House such legislation ypjll be secured as will insuBe the of a turvey that will directly benefit all our people. Ypteferlihein.

-A A OPINION. The Philadelphia Inquirer of this to'say of the Republican primary campaign in this county: "Indiana and Jefferson counties form a Senatorial district. They are among the counties which one Flinn, boss politician and millionaire contractor of Pittsburg, has taken under his paternal wing. He has been thrashed out of his boots in Jefferson, where the Republican voters fairly slaughtered his candidates. That he will be more soundly thrashed in Indiana is a certainty.

Indiana can attend to its own business without the aid of the insufferable boss from Pittsburg. "The SL.ordy Republicans of Indiana county do not intend to be fooled. They do not propose that any man shall sneak into the Legislature to misrepresent the county, and therefore they have asked all aspirants for official honors to subscribe to a pledge to stand by the Republican majority when the will of the majority has been decided in caucus or conference. Mr. Watson, one of the candidates for the nomination for the Assembly, has refused to sign this pledge.

He has refused because he is the candidate of 'Bill' Flinn, and as Flinn's candidate he is opposed to home rule. We should not think that the Republican voters of Indiana would bother themselves very much with Brother Watson. When the primaries are held on March 17, let Boss Flinn elect his follower if he can, but to do so he must be more powerful than the people. "Then there is J. W.

very reputable man undoubtedly, but just at present suffering from the blight of Flinnism. Dr. Morrow wants to be Senator, and asks Republican votes. Does he agree to act with the Republican majority? Oh! no. He ignores own people and pins his faith to Flinn, the machine politician, who lives in a distant county.

Dr. Morrow upheld the Flinn banner of the bolters and Jefferson county, and his defeat was an overwhelming one. "This is a year when political lines must be drawn. We are to elect a President and that President must be either McKinley or Bryan. Pennsylvanians must vote either the Republican or Democratic ticket.

There is altogether too much at prosperity and honor of the whole Republicans to take any chances. "They will vote the Republican ticket, and Indiana county Republicans will have nothing to do with candidates who will not put their shoulders to the Republican plow. There is no place for party wreckers this year. Dr. Morrow is already defeated, and Mr.

Watson's ambition to serve a political nondescript of Pittsburg will be brought to an inglorious close at the coming primaries. No Pittsburg Boss and Bolter shall rule this State!" THE Indiana Gazette, which is largely owned and absolutely controlled by Candidate Watson, had much to say last week, in a personal way, against Attorney General John P. Elkin. It asserts that it was largely "due to M. C.

Wat- sou that Elkin was admitted to the bar, elected to the legislature and appointed Deputy Attorney General." The un- truthf ulness of the above statement is so self-evident that we need not say a word in refutation. If Mr. Watson had such an admiration for Mr. Elkin, why is it that his paper, the Gazette, has abused him, in season and out, for the past several years. But all Mr.

Watson's personal abuse and the venom of his newspaper has not affected Mr. Elkin's standing in this community, where he has made an enviable reputation for honesty and integrity. The fact that he is a stalwart Republican and spends some of his time in the interest of the principles of the party of McKinley is what troubles the souls of the Flinn-Watson party wreckers. THE insurgent candidates for Senate and Watson and that if nominated and elected they will not be bound by the will of the majority of their party associates in the Legislature, but will hold themselves in readiness to go into the councils of bolting Republicans and Democrats, and work and vote against the best interests of the party which elected them. Would that be fair and and honest toward their Republican constituents? Better leave such malcontents at home.

THE soldiers are for Fisher, Thompson and Leard, because these men represent stalwart Republicanism, and that sort of Republicanism is the sort that looks after the interests of the old soldier. A pledge has been circulated among the pld soldiers of Cherryhill, and numerously signed, to the effect that they will support Fisher, Thompson and Leard at the approaching Republican primary and asking their fellow citizens to assist them to nominate these men to the offices of Senate and The old soldier can be depended upon for knowing his friends and having the courage tQ stand for his convictions with as nerve and determination ias he faced the Real Estate Transfers.
