Yours, for the success of the entire ticket, THE INDIANA PROGRESS. INDIANA COUNTY REPUBLICANS ARE AROUSED. We feel confident that the people of Indiana county have not been so thoroughly aroused on political matters for years as they are at the present time.

No, not even during the campaign of 1860, just after the panic of 1 a77. History tells us that in 1840, following the panic of 1837, it was just as it is now. In 1840 was the first campaign in Indiana county, when we had marching clubs and processions. Men would travel as much as twenty miles overland to attend political meetings, going in there were but few carriages and buggies in the county at that processions miles long, in which were log cabins built on wheels, having a barrel of hard cider on the cabin porch and the wise "old coon" watching the thirsty ones quenching their thirst from the gourd that hung by the barrel. The panics of 1837 and 1857, both terrible in their effects, were brought upon the country by Democratic administrations.

The people could not be aroused to attend the meetings in 1892, hence designing demagogues got in their nefarious work by false literature, and with the aid of England's money, carried the election for A WORD OF WARNING. OUR NEXT CONGRESSMAN. The Conference of the Twenty-First Congressional District concluded their work on last Monday morning, which resulted in the nomination of Hon. Daniel B. Heiner, of Armstrong county our present member of Congress.

The nomnation was made on the ballot. Mr. F. A. Weaver, Jefferson county's candidate, withdrew in a letter which was read to the conference by one of his conferees, who stated he believed it was their duty to make a nomination and they would vote for Mr.

Heiner. The Westmoreland county conferees stood by Senator Brown to the last. The nomination then was made unanimous. Mr. Heiner will get the full support of the district, his opponents in the contest taking defeat gracefully and turning in to the support of the ticket.

The Republicans of loyal Indiana county had expected that the nomination would be conned to them by general consent, as the custom has in the past few years to pass it around, and it certainly was our turn, more especially as we furnish the Republican majorities, and our candidate, Capt. J. 8. Nesbit, being the unanimous choice of Indiana county. But the Republicans of Indiana county, with few exceptions, are loyal and the PROGRESS can only repeat what it said in the issue of August 2JJ: "That whoever the Conference nominates we will give him such a majority as no other county in the district can give." The PEOGEESS in this, as well as all other nominations by its party regulations, gives its most hearty support.

Therefore, we take pleasure in placing the name of Hon. Daniel B. Heiner at our masthead as our nominee for Congress in the Twenty-First Mr. Heiner by his straight-forward manly course on all questions concerning the interests of his constituents has won many friends in this county who will take pleasure in supporting him for re-election. Indiana county will do her whole duty in spite of a coterie of party wreckers by rolling up a majority of 3,000 for the Congressman nominated.

THE scheme of the party wreckers is lalling to pieces rapidly. Bolting was rebuked at our last election in this county and will be so at the coming one in such a manner that it will be fully understood. The Republicans of Indiana county cannot be derived or hoodwinked by the Democratic party this time. "a change." "Just this once let us try Grover Cleveland." Well, they now have the change asked for and the people have, in consequence, nothing but poverty, want, hard times, low wages, and most of the time no employment, our wheels of industry stopped, business failures, depressed market. But a change has taken place in the minds of the masses, as was witnessed on the evening of the recent Republican mass meeting in this place.

The people are aroused and want a return of the prosperity that they enjoyed under the Republican administrations. A number of good, responsible Democrats have, within the past few weeks, called on us and said that they have cast their last vote with the Democratic party; that in the future they would vote with the Republican party. They are fully convinced that the free trade policy of their party was against the best interests of the United States, and this same feeling prevails throughout Pennsylvania. BE A late court decision in a Perry county contested election case shows the necessity of care in making your ballot. The decision of the Judge was to the effect that the law was not merely directory, but mandatory.

It prescribes ust how the ballot is to be marked. The intention of the voter must not be considered by the election officers. If he chooses to mark his ballot otherwise than the law directs, he voluntarily disfranchises himself. The only safe way is to mark in the big in the Republican column and vote straight. JUDGE WHITE has paid more inoney to keep up the Republican party than he ever got out of it.

The Republicans wanted a big reception for General Hastings and the State Ticket at Indiana on September 21. The question was, who is to pay the expenses? Of course Judge White, and he paid to the railroad company for an excursion train from Saltsburg and Blairsville to Indiana, yet some people begrudge him what little he has got. THE RIGHT THING TO DO. Do plenty of thinking and calm talking and attend the Republican meetings. It will not cost you any money to get them up.

Don't expect your county chairman to hire you to help restore the country back to where it was two years ago. Let every Republican speak to his neighbor and go to the polls and vote to restore 1fie elect the entire ticket. To the Republicans of Indiana County: As your Chairman it is my duty to warn you there is an attempt making, by a perverted and fraudlent use of some provisions of the Baker ballot law, to disrupt and impair the integrity of our Republican organization as well as deceive Republican voters, by having a ballot printed part only of our ticket on it. May 12th last we held our Primary Election and nominated a full ticket for Judge, Congress, Assembly and Jury Commissioner. Not a charge of fraud or irregularity has ever been made against the nomination of any candidate.

If any nomination has been fraudulently or unfairly made, our rules provide a complete method to contest it. If fraudulent it is so pronounced, and the vacancy on the ticket filled by another nomination. This is done within party organization and all is regular, but our nominations have been fair and will go on the ballot in separate column under the head ''REPUBLICAN." This the straight ticket for Indiana County Republicans. Some Democrats, some Populists, some Republicans not of the Simon-pure type are trying by nomination papers to get but part of four tickets printed on the ballot. I will briefly explain the trick.

The law provides regular nominations by a olitical party shall go in a column in the ballot, our regular ticket will be there. The law allows names to go in a column in a ballot by nomination papers if a certain percentage of voters sign a certificate for it. The spirit of the law is that these signers are supporters of the names so put on by nomination papers. The persons who want to affect part of our ticket now seek to have the State Republican ticketwith part only of our County ticket, to be called Independent printed on the ballot. To get the state ticket so printed required about twenty-five hundred signers.

These could not be had in Indiana county. So, nomination papers were sent to the Pittsburg post office and Custom house employees, also going among the rounders and brothels to get the required signers and such papers so signed are now filed in the state department at Harrisburg. The bulk of such signatures are Pittsburg ward politicians and not Republicans and will vote against the ticket they ask to be printed. By such nomination papers our state ticket may go on the ballot in one column to be followed by part of our county ticket to be put on by nomination papers signed by Democrats, Popu- listsand nnhapy Republicans. Our regular nominee, Judge Harry White, is to be omitted and Blair, as an independent, substituted.

This is to deceive and impose on Republican voters. This is a fraud on the ballot law, and on our regular ticket. Before the Baker ballot law we voted a slip ticket. If a Republican name was put on the Democratic slip ticket there AVOS a cry "Beware of the Republican trick." I now say, beware of this new trick with the Baker ballot law and the regular Republican ticket. Tell the people about the wrong and rebuke it at the polls by voting the straight Republican ticket.

Don't let Pittsburg slums and rounders make tickets for Indiana county Republicans. J. C. MCGREGOR, Chairman. XOAH LOHR, 1 E.

Taylor died, having first cancelled his indentures. In 1830 he went to Cincinnati, to seek employment at his trade, which he readily found, working on different papers until May 1834, when he was employed as foreman in the Western Methodist Book Concern, which position he filled so satisfactorily that he was appointed superintendent and general manager of the entire Concern, serving in that capacity for almost sixty years. piety was of an unobtrusive character, but it was deep, and uniform, and abiding. He loved his Savior, his church and all of its institutions, rejoicing in the advancement of religion, and welcomed the action which made the young people more prominent in Christian work, though he held fast to what is called "old-fashioned Methodism." For him death had no terrors, the grave no chill. REV.
