The withdrawal of George S.

from the Democratic Legislative ticket of Butler county and the proposed substitution of Francis Murphy, an anti-Quay Republican, to fill the vacancy on the ticket has caused consternation In the ranks of the machine. Murphy was a candidate for Assembly at the Republican primaries, but was defeated by the Quay faction. The -apathy of the independent element toward the State ticket has caused a condition among the Legislative candidates bordering on hysterics. Several independent leaders who were solicited to take the stump flatly refused. Others who were invited to call at the Republican headquarters refused to come, while many of them openly avowed their Intention of supporting the national ticket, but knifing the State ticket from beginning to end.

The Regulars became alarmed and announced their intention of opening the campaign early in October instead of late, and set October 10 as the time for a grand mass meeting, when the chief speakers would be M. S. Quay, Governor Stone, J. P. Elkin and M.

Brosius. The announcement acted like wild Are. The Insurgents plainly told County Chairman MoQulstlon that the Quay pro Special Telegram to The Times. Stroudbburo, October 3. Monroe county Democrats are very much pleased with the stand taken by The Times In supporting Bryan for President.

For years The Times has been a favorite with a large number of Democratic leaders In stalwart Monroe, and its advice given edltorlnlly was always respected. The general opinion expressed is that The Times bold stand for Bryan will prove an important factor in the present campaign. All the leaders unite In the belief that Its stand for Bryan will greatly help the Democratic Congressional ticket in this, the Eighth district, composed of the counties of Northampton, Monroe, Carbon and Pike. It is now predicted that Mutchlcr's vote iu the district will not fall much below Bryan's and that Mutchler will be elected by a safe majority. Leading Democrats were not slow to express their satisfaction over the course taken by The Times lu its support of Mr.

Bryan. Ex-Congressman John B. Storm said: "The action of The Times coming out in support of Bryan has done more to strengthen his Vl "''1' -j .1 t. i 3: 'I GENERAL REEDER, OF EASTON Appointed ly Governor Stone to succeed the Into Coluuel Tlios. J.

cause than any act that has occurred during the campaign. The Times has always been so conspicuously honest aud outspoken in Its views that Its present attitude will greatly strengthen the cause of the Democratic party. I have always supported The Times, but Its late action has attached me to It more strongly than ever. The change In the attitude of The Times will have a most beneficial effect upon the politics in this Congressional district and will greatly aid Mr. Mutchler." What Prothonotary Docker Says.

Prothonotary William F. Decker said: "The Times' action in coming out for Bryan meets with th hearty approval of the Democracy of Monroe county. There never was any doubt In my mind that Ex-Congressman Mutchler would be elected by a majority equal to that given Congressman Barber. The Times coming out straight for the Democracy will aid to make Mutchler's vote equal to that which will be given Bryan In this the Eighth district. The Times has made no mistake.

It has strengthened Itself and the Democratic party." Great Reasons to Rejoice. Ex-District Attorney John B. Williams said: ''Bryan nnd Stevenson, the Democratic party and the people of the United States generally have great reason to rejoice at the stand Thp Times has taken against Imperialism, militarism and centralization. It has always been a fearless fighter for the principles advocated by It, and no oneVlll doubt the motive which prompted it to take Its recent bold stand for Bryan nnd Democracy. A great many voters lu Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware have always pinned their faith on the principles advocated by The Times, nnd they will not depart from It In Its present course.

The advice given by It editorially in Tuesday's Issue will have the effect of solidifying the Democratic party in this county for the whole ticket." Thrown Down the Gauntlet. Harvey Huffman said: "Colonel MeOlure has again shown himself to be a matchless leader In declaring himself through the Philadelphia Times nt this juncture for the Democratic party. Our people will appreciate this. The Times is largely read, and the aid this paper will give to the fight this fall In this county and Congressional district in behalf of the Democrat lo party will only be equaled by our own local Democratic, press.

The Commissioners of Westmoreland county, back of whom stand representatives of many other counties In the State, to-day opened the way for a test of the validity of the railroad act which makes counties responsible for the payment of the keeping of railroad trespassers committed to Jail. Some time ago when Sheriff May, of this county, presented a bill of for a quarter of a year's keeping of tramps who were captured on railroad cars, the County Commissioners filed vigorous objections. To-day a bill for over $1,000 was presented to the Commissioners nnd they refused payment. They claimed that the law Is unconstitutional.

Times' editorial announcing Its purpose and giving' its reasons for the decision to espouse Mr. Bryan's cause Is right to the point nnd will do more for Democracy than all the stump speaking until election day. It will be a potent factor in bringing back into the party lines the gold Democrats of four years ago, many of whom were Influenced In that campaign by The Times because they had unlimited faith In its opinions and advice. They have not lost their trust In that Journal's political opinions, as Is evidenced by the fact that half a dozen gold Democrats, who until 1MKS were wheel-horses In that party's campaigns, remarked to The Times correspondent that since that paper Is advocating Bryan's election they will fall Into line nnd do all they can for the national and county tickets.

The substitution of Murphy for some one on the Democratic Legislative ticket has been agitated for some time, but was not accomplished until to-day, when Tasker resigned. The Insurgents are In a very ugly mood and are only happy that they have a good excuse for getting after the Quay gang, although the fights 'between the two factions have been many and extremely bitter. This is the time that neither1 side has combined with the Democrats, and the present break means the defeat not only of both Quay candidates for Assembly, but likely the Quay candidate for the State Senate (A. G. Williams) in the Butler-Armstrong district.

Mr. Murphy has not yet officially notified the Democratic committee on vacancies of bis acceptance, but he informed two repre sentatives of the party who tendered him the place.
