Honest Government Meeting Held in Amb-
ler Opera House—Able Addresses bv Hon.
■Jason Sexton, Dr. Philip t*. Jones, Kev
Lower and Senator Heury.
A meeting of the representative men
from this part of the county was held
Saturday evening in Ambler opera house
under the auspices of tbe honest government league in support of tlie Republican national ticket, and the attendance,
despite the inclement weathet, was large
and gratiying. The Ambler Citizens'
band paraded the streets rendering popular airs, then for a few minutes played
ia front of the opera house before taking
their places inside.
Mr. Joseph Haywood, president of tbe
First National Bank of Ambler, was
made chairman of the meeting, while
the group of .vice presidents comprised
Howard S. Jones, George Bodenstein,
William Hamilton Taggart, Lemuel G.
Johnson, James Van Court, Samuel
Yeakle, Samuel Lukens, Ambrose
Yeakle, Daniel Stout, George W. Aiman,
Jason T. Butler, Wilmer Johnson,
John Morris, Hiram Kriebel, Harry
Lowery, Theodore Allen, Jonathan
Iredell, Abram Morgan, George T. Nice,
.Joseph Shoemaker, Walter II. Corson,
B. Wallace Mammel, Walter H. Jenkins,
Charles Shoemaker, Thomas Bitting. £.
L. Posey, of the Arm of Colburn & Company, was secretary. The greater part
of the audience consisted of farmen
and workingmen, who evidently had
been thinking over state politics and
who are aa independent in their vot-
ng as in their thi nking.
shortly after 8 o' dock Mr. I law y ood
called the meeting to order and stated
tbat the objectof the assemblage was to
discuss state politics and advocate the
election of men to office who will give
to their j constituents the administration
of affairs which is so-much desired ih
Pennsylvania. He 'then introuced Dr.'
Philip !_. Jones, of Narberth, one of
the candidates on the honest government ticket.
Mr. Jones said he was not fond of this
kind of work nor did he seek the task
set before him by the nominating
convention., out bad responded to the
call as he thought everyone should who
deems public office an individual responsibility. .Hesaid the public records
of Messrs. Sexton and Fetterolf are
well known and be then defined his
own stand in tbe matter. Had east his
first vote for Lincoln and proceeded to-
pay a glowing tribute to McKinley.
Public offices are a public trust and
those wbo fill them should be chosen by
tlie. people and not by the politicians.
Men are responsible to their constitu-
tents, to their "consciences and to their
God. Publio offices should be high
enough to command respect, and the public business should be conducted on * the
same principles of fldelityand honesty
as we* demand in our private affairs.
If  elected, he  would seek to_b|
tc
_W_-
hree Mines the  v'te in  this
Kywe did  in 1898.   Quayism- Ml
rcontrolled the . state   so long we are
• ashamed of it and we must push oa un *
til it is eradicated.   They  may call us
insurgents, but  we know   we shall  be
partnots.
Dr. Jones was w* rmly applauded as
he ceased speaking. The band rendered
a lively air and then Hon. Jason Sexton
waa presented to the audience.
Mr. Sexton thanked the • people for
the honor of their suffrages in the past
and he hoped he had represented them
as they have desired. He went on to
say that i t.is not often that Montgomeiy
county has been honored by sucb a coterie of pnblic men as have been tramping up and down in the past few weeks
—a governor of the state, a senator, besides the paraphernaaa of the state department and also an ex-senator, and he
hoped the poeple would see to it that
he forever remained an ex-senator.
Why ia all this? Is the national ticket
in danger and are the leaders afraid
Montgomery county will cast its vote
for llr. Bryan? The onlv reason is that
they desire to save the Quay legislative
ticket and even the "old man" himself
has placed himself on exhibition.
. I wonder when this lot of public
officers and tihe head of the machine, as
they paraded to Skippack and as they
saw the cows grazing in the fields told
the farmer listeners that the oleomargarine trust paid 1 cent per pound for
political protection. These machine
nftjn so love the farmers that in making
up their county tic_et they had not
room on it for one single farmer out of
the 5500 In the county. They did not
place a farmer on the ticket because
they have had trouble with the farmers
ever since tbe days of Taggart. The farmers will not take orders.
At North Wales County Chairman
Solly told the people he. had taken no
part in factional politics, but no one is
fighting Mr. Soil v. He attacked anti-
Quay Bepublicans, who have a perfect
right to think and act as they please.
Mr. Solly seems to have lost his head
and has clearly demonstrated that whom
the gods would, destroy they first make
njad.. He didn't tell why Fetterolf
*aMb't pot on the regular ticket, having
l^B entitled by precedent to a second
nomination. In Bucks county oa the
Kepublican ticket all three Republican
candidates who voted steadilv against
Quay. Yet the Quay people there are
going to vote with the Democrats against
these regular Republican candidates.
It makes no difference who is elected,
Democrat or Republican, so he will
vote for the return of Quay to the
United States senate. If he could have
done so Quay would bave bought votes
to return him to the senate. The result of tne bribery invesitgatlng committee shews that. You must settle
the question right at the polls. Are we
to do it?
Mr. Sexton was repeatedly applauded
and when he sat down be was loudly
cheered. The  band again rendered    a
. lively air. Bev. William Barnes Lower,
of Bridgeport, was then introduced.
As he arose he said memory carried
him back 90 years, when as a boy he
played in Ambler and he was greatly
impressed with the growth of the town.
He did not care to dwell at  length   on
this theme, but required the attention
of his listeners to his remarks on corruption. "They, may call ua 'insurgents .
and we are going to be insurgents.'
Their talk oan be punctured easily.
How is it the representatives in the west
stand above these in Pennsylvania. I
am proud of this state, but its political
standing bas deteriorated. It has developed a plutocracy, then an aristocracy and finally an autocracy. Men
should stand.first,for sovereignty of God
in civil affairs. Get men in our legislative offices who recogn/.ie the power
above them and who are not afraid of
truth and righteousness. Second, universal brotherhood and equality of men
in all civil positions. When yon go to
tbe polls remember yon are a man and
Mt no dollars nor cents influence your
vote. Third, application of model
principles to the legislative, judicial
and executive branches of thisl government. Certain reti ibution must come
to a nation ot people which breaks the
moral law.
Rev. Lower then spoke on the following five isms: Bossism. Why have it?
In 1832 England gave to her working
people the right of suffrage. Voting
was first done by voice, later by ballot.
This didn't satisfy because -these ballots could be controlled by the few. In
this county we always had a ballot
system. First the opposing tickets were
in different colors, later they were printed in the same colors. The next step
waa the Australian ballot system. Every
step upward has been a step onward.
The machine gets in its work in the
caucus. Here the vote should be by ballot and not by voice.
Militarism, governing military body.
When the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth
rock there was no need of a standing
army, bnt forward has been the watchword and the United States must heed
the cry. We must support a larger army
and navy and I am glad the country at
least has awakened to tba fact that our
commerce must be carried in eur own
ships.
Imperialism. Mr. Bryan used all
means to favor the Paris treaty. China
is bowing to idols and the gateway for
civilization there is through the Philippines.
Republicanism. The issue of 1882 was
fre'e trade. All right in theory, but with
dire results in practise. 1896 the issue
was free silver and tbe present issue
is shall we vote down prosperity?Together with this tihereare lots of great question's—the Niearagu a canal and others,
Patriotism. Governor Stene said at
Skippack, "Vote for yonr party right
or wrong, but vote for your party."
Mr. Groker says, "It is necessary for us
to change our standard of money as
often as we please." Every man should
get out and take an active interest in
politics. He then paid a glcwing tribute to McKinley and Roosevelt, consid-J
ering the latter one of tbe greatest
Christian examples of the world. "Go
to tite ballot box prayerfully and cast
vou _'vote in sincere copvictiop..
-isnator Henry was then pnjgjjed
j£em.-m.yi<**i ij.\S>ii^u\c*toatL/Ewj%x.
offjil-SeWQuay ny' Ifi-wO maibritf
years ago. He .'urged the erection
McKinley and Roosevelt, and said tha
in Pennsylvania we must choose a
united States senator. This great state
has more population than the whole of
New England and we have only one
senator, who^is able to attend to his
duties only part of tiie time. 80 of
the states favor the election of United
States senators by direct vote of tbe
people and the time is ripe for it. Tbe
protest of tbe people against Quay last
year attests to it, when Sexton and Fetterolf stood out firmly against fraud and
bribery. For tbat very reason tiiey
have Been turned down and for that
very reason other men have been substituted. Why are we opposed to Quay?
Wbat haa he ever done to merit our support? We object to the way he gets his
living. In all his years of public office-
holding he has never instituted one bill
for the good of the people. He is not a
success so far as the people are concerned. On election day a vote in the ring
will count a vote for the ring, and a
vote in tihe square will count a vote on
the square. Vote for McKinley and
Roosevelt and for the other nominees
whom you know will oppose Quayism.
Make a house-to-house canvass and go
to the polls early, stay when the votes
•re counted and pile up a majority for
McKinley and Roosevelt and the anti-
Quay candidates. •
Real Estate Sold.
Henry C. Biddle, real estate broker of
Ambler, sold last week two farms for
the Norristown Trust company, formerly owned by Dr. Wilson, situated in
Upper Dublin township, to Thomas B.
Meehan, of Germantown. Also a house
and lot in South Ambler for Joseph
Haywood to Dr. B. V. Mattison at
private terms.
The Shaffer farm of 50 acres, at
Dreshertown has also been sold to Mr.
Meehan.	
Teachers' Institute.
During Friday's session qf the Montgomery County Teachers' institute the
result of the election held in the morning was announced. Norristown was
chosen as the place of of meeting next
vear, tha vote being Norristown, 418;
Pottstown, 164. The following officers
were elected for the ensuing year: Executive committee, C. A. Wagner, H.
E. Hartzell, A. D. Eisenhower, H. H.
Beidler, Miss Jennie Boberts; recording secretary,Warren R. Rahn; registering secretaries, John Gresh, P.A. Mark-
ley, A. K. Shutt, F. F. Sowers, O. S.
Rosen berger, W. K. Gresh.
Want • Big Appropriation.
At a meeting of the State hospital
trustees at Norristown Friday they decided to ask the board of publio charities for an appropriation from the state
of $85,500 for erecting a building for
male consumptives, costing $5000; two
buildings for nurses and attendants,
costing $50,000; a pathological building
and morgue, to cost $30,000; a butler's
pantry, enlargement of chapel and
amusement hall and the extension of
the sewerage plant to prevent the pollution of Stony creek, which empties into the Schuylkill, and for enlarigng
the piggery and erecting a storage and
soap house. The cost of maintenance of
the 1012 males and 1081 females during
the year was $3.39 per week per capital.'

McKinley is re-elected president by
an avalanche of votes. Bryan's defeat
isjust as complete as it was four years'

in the electoral college McKinley will
have a majority of over 100. *3
In 1896 his majority over Bryan was
95.
Of the so-calleJ doubtful states—New]
York, Ind ana, Nebraska, Kentucky,
Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia—
the Republicans have certainly 'carried
all except Nebraska, Kentucky and Delaware, and tbe returns from these three]
states are so close that latei may give a_fl
to the Republicans.
New York gives McKinley 150,000,
majority; Maryland is safely Republican

Even in his home precinct in Lincoln,
Brayn was defeated two to one. President McKinley's precinct gave bim 50
more votes, than in 1896.
The surprise of the national election
was in New England. Republican majorities were cut in half in many instances and Bryan's vote was frequently twice what it was four years ago.
Massachusetts in 1896 gave McKinley
173,000 plurality. This year it is 100,-
000 less.
Illinois, whioh had been claimed by
Republicans and Democrats, rolled up a
plurality of 70,000 for McKinley. Even
Chicago, wbich had been expected by
the Democrats to give a great vote for
Bryan was even carried by the Republicans. The Democrats claim the election of their candidates for governor,
however.
South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming, whose electoral votes four years ago
were cast for the Democratic candidate,
are cairied this year by the Republicans.
The next congress will be strongly Republican. Tbere are good gains to the
ranks of national representatives, while
in the senate Mr. McKinley can
count on a working majority of 17 or 18
and possibly 20.
The Delaware Republicans concede the
election of a Democratic legislature.
This probably will prevent J. Edward
Addicks from realizing his ambition to
be United States senator from that state.
The Democrats will elect United States
senators from Texas, South Carolina and
Tennessee, but as these are already represented by anti-administration men
the hostile ranks will not be augmented
by tbe results of tbe election yesterday.
At the time of going to press the complexion of the next Pennsylvania legislature was in doubt. The Ledger Wednesday morning said that Quay would
have a majority of its members, whilst
the Press and North American said that
he coald not be elected senator.
Norristown, Pa.—With 113 districts
heard from, the indications are that the
Republican assembly ticket is elected
by about 1500 plurality. Wanger has
about 6500 majority and McKinley
leads with probably 7500  majority.
Doylestown, Pa. — Wanger carries
Bucks county by 1500 majority and the
Republican assembly candidates are
elected hy about 800 majority.

Two Distressing Accident* In Which Two
Peraoo* Lone Their I.Ives-One at Willow
Grove Under a Trolley Car—Other at Amhler In a Vat of Magnesia.
AT WILLOW GROVE.
A teirible accident,one that 1ms shocked
the people of two coup ties, occurred on
the I >oy It-stow n and Willow Grove trolley road Sunday evening, about 5 o'clock,
at the top of the long hill descending to
Willow Grove. Miss Ellen Moore, aged
21 .daughter of Alfred Moore, who resides at Five Points, about three miles
above Willow Grove, and Edward Morgan, of Willow Grove, her fiance, aged
22, were thrown under a descending tiol-
ley car by a frightened horse and so
seriously injured that Miss Moore died
a few hours later and Morgan, to whom
she had been engaged bnt a few days,
is now in the Jewish hospital badly hurt
and Unconscious of the terrible fate of
his fiancee. Morgan, and Miss Moore
had been driving all the afternoon and
were on their way to her home at Horsham. The horse was climbing the hill,
just above the Springs hotel at Willow
Grove, and the ascent was almost made.
Just then, on the brow of the bill
came a car of the Doylestown line,
moving south.
Morgan could not control the horse,
which wm frightened by the car. Directly in front of the car the carriage
turned and was struck by the oar. With
all his might the motorman, W vnkooj-
Cornell, turned the car brake, but he
was too late. Girl and man fell upon
the tracks and in a moment were under
the car wheels.
Miss Moore was extricated with little
difficulty, but Morgan was jammed
under tbe car and it had to be raised in
order that he oould be taken out. With
all despatch this work of mercy was
done, and then the young man and his
intended bride were hurried in a special
car down the York road to the Jewish
hospital.
Miss Moore was terribly injured.
Both feet were crushed, her head was
injured, there were general contusions
of her body and probably internal injuries. At 9.30 o'clock * Sunday night
she died. Morgan has a broken shoulder blade, a lacer?ted scalp and a badly
contused foot.
The accident horrified those who witnessed it. Motorman Cornell was terribly shocked, but bad done everything
a man could do to avert it. The young
people were thrown only a few feet
ahead of his car and there was no possible way to stop in time to permit
them to escape. The whole affair was
very sudden and no blame haa been attached to the motorman.

Charted With Counterfeiting*.
John J. Snyder, who lives about
three-quarters of a mile from Lansdale,
was ariested Monday evening on the
charge of making counterfeit $5 gold
pieces and silver dollars, halves and
quarters. A crude outfit was found in
his house.
■ The attest is the result of the detective work of Policeman Charles Kulp,
of Lansdale. Some months since Mr.
Kulp's attention was called to a poor
imitation of a silver dollar, which had
been taken over the counter in a local
store. Officer Kulp suspected Snyder
and Monday notified the Philadelphia
secret service office. Monday evening
Matthew F. Griffith, a secret service
operative, arrived at Lansdale and swore
out a warrant for Snyder's arrest before
Justice Miller, and placed it in the
hands of Constable Springer, who made
the an est.
A search of the house by tbe officers
resulted in the discovery of a primitive
outfit, consisting of a basketful of plas-
ter-of-paris dies, a galvanic battery,
files, vise, a milling machine and
many bottles of chemicals.
The "silver" coins were cast from
babbit's ni .tal. The "gold" pieces
were made from copper wire, and plated with gold. Snyder was given a hearing Tuesday. Only a small number of
finished coins were found in the house,
but plenty of the metal was found.
Whiskey Cau.es Trouble.
Williard Smith, of Jarrettown, and
Martin Smith, of Abington, brothers.tar-
ried in Hatboro on Wednesday evening
on their' way up towards Buchiugham
mountains on a gunning trip. They visited the hotels and while at Collaniore's
got into a dispute with William Blotters-
head, wbo was recently elected borough
policeman by council. Accounts diner
as to how the row started, but ita outcome everybody knows. William Mot-
tershead had his scalp so badly cut by a
piece of brick or something like it, that
Dr. Hannum found Unnecessary to put
in several stitches, and Martin Smith
were arrested and placed in the lockup
for the night*. Thursday morning he
was given a hearing before SquixeYerkes
which was adjourned to allow of a settlement on the basis of Smith paying all
costs,' including Mottershead s doctor
bill.   It was a  discreditable affair, with
-hiskey at the bottom of the trouble.—
