Having Katl-d lu Ills Two ninimlirn For Ifouflnt From the Republican OrjrmiUntlon the Millionaire Seek Ttcvenr and AI1 BrynaWm to Wreek the Party of McKiniey. This Is a atorr of a bane conspiracy. In which hypocrisy, vtndlotivency. and Ingratitude play xinKilcuoun parts. It Is a political story, ehowins how cer tain politicians, having beon themselves lepudiuteU by the people, endeavor to deceive and entrap the people, and use them in an effort to destroy those to whom they chiefly attribute their own defeat. "Once upon a time" it w as In l&SS a irreat campaign was waged. The Demo rats were in power, and likely to re main there. The Republican cause was almost a forlorn hope. But within th tanks of stalwart Republicanism In Pennsylvania there was a shrewd, bril liaat Republican leader, and he it was who, as chairman of the Republican national committee, snatched victory from the very Jaws of defeat. This was Matthew Stanley Quay. Among those ho aided him In that irreat campaign was Hon. John Wana lnaker his alliance with Democracy had nt thea Ixtmiru the millionaire merchant of Philadelphia, who, as chairman of a sub-committee, super vised the raising of ever one million dollars for Chairman Quay to spend In she work of organisation. This -was before Mr. Wanamaker had commenced his crusade against "the use of money in politics!" MR. WAXAMAKEK'S SUPREME AMBITION. Mr. Wnamalir' reward was a seat in President Harrison's cabinet, which was the only recommendation made bv Chairman Quay and his colleagues of the national committee to the presi-(hnt-elect. But that did not satisfy Vr. Wanamaker's ambition. Having de voted nearly 60 years to the humdrum of money making and very successfu' ly. for he is now supposed to be worth J15,00).OW(he became enamored c the fascinations of life social as well as fxilitkai at the national capital. He desired to remain their indefinitely, winlch he was not likely to do as a cabinet officer. He immediately began to plan fur a seat In the United States mnate as Senator Cameron's successor the latter term expiring 'n 1S3L He Erst sought, by every means known to this versatile gentleman, to gain Sena tor Quay's approval, but the latter could not be Induced to desert his col It ague, who had bwen his close intimate Iriend, personal an political, for many years. It was then that the iron entered Into the soul of John tVanaaiaker. HIS SECRET PLOTTING BEGINS, lie immediately began his secret plot ting for thf overthrow of his political creator, the establishment of a machine of his own. and the election of himself . to the Unite States senate. But nil tirpoee was not declared; his work was furtive and unostentatious, as the work of all conspirators is. Though still pretending to be Senator Quay's friend, he let clip no opportunity to poison the mind of President Harrison against Chairman Quay, to whose efforts his (the president's! eletlion was aiainly tfue. But the Inevitable result followed. Conspirators may conspire, plotters may plot, yet well, "the best laid schemes o' mice and men gang aft a gley." Mr. Wanamaker's plans were knocked into a "cocked hat," and "the other fellow" went to the senate that time. It is not often that w.ong and In justice triumph in this every day world uf ours. But a-mbttion. that insatiable mon ster, had laid deep hold'u.K,u 1.8 victim, and his purpose altered not. Into the dying ashes of his failure new fuel was thrust, and since then the fires have never been quenched. llr. Wanamaker lft the cabinet in IMS, more determined than ever to reach the goal of his fondest hope the United States senate. But he went about it In a unique way. He did not lcorae active in the count ils of the Rr- publican arty: he-d.d not contribute toward the work of party oi conization and education; Te did not take the stump for the party's candidates. Is a word, he did nothing to earn the grati tude of Republican leadeis or workers, nor did he perform any act to endear himself to the Republican masses, or even fora. their acquaintance. MILLIONS ADDED TO MILLIONS. For several years he devoted himself to his old avocation, that cf money making. His vast department stores which have pauperized and driven to the wall so many thousand of small shopkeepers, not only in Philadelphia, but the surrounding counties expand ed day by day; his maguifiont mer cantile palace in New Tork was owned: fctw millions were added to the millions already acquired; It waa flood tide in the world of trade. But "the other fellow" was in the United States senate, and the canker worm of deathless desire still gnawed at the heartstrings cf the merchant ixmce. For reef he set sail for Europe, and for months at a time wander! tissu, could not (eel a needle thrust into icy flesh. "I was ccniiced to the bouse three years, unable to walk cearly half the time. "After those three daw year ef agony, during: which I spent probably for treatment and tried a dozen doctors, I gave up hope of any release from pain, but death.

This was generally during a state campaign, when every sincere, enthusiastic Re publican, deeming America good enough for him at such a time, re mained in the old commonwealth and rave his best efforts in behalf of party success. But time passed: It Is a way time hats. Finally, came, and with It another senatorial campaign we.s precipitated. With the advent of summer of that year Mr. Wanamaker came home from Europe post haste. The time had come for participation in politics, for he had concluded to be a candidate for offic-? himself. Delegates and legislators were naroe on the banks of the Rhine, the Viber and the Seine. THE SENATORIAL BEE BUZZES. But he must confine himself to the limits of Pennsylvania. Chairman llanna, of the Republican national committee, offered him his old place on the finance committee, but he declined. He had "other fish to fry." It was not the presidency which concerned him that summer. The senatorial bee buzzed about his ears, and he must needs follow that bewitching, siren like insect whithersoever it might lead, w hich he believed to be a great hive of luscious honey the United States sena torship. But he did not yet unfold his plans to the public. He made a tour of the state, ostensibly to make speeches for Will iam McKiniey. but in reality to build political fences for John Wanamaker. Though he could not go to tha aid of Chairman Hanna in New Tork and take a laboring oar in the desperate struggle which was waged there for the overthrow of the gigantic free silver heresy, which came near fastening itj hideous grip upon the nation, yet he could spend the summer and fall travel ing over and speaking throughout Pennsylvania, which was sure to giv McKiniey a majority of a quarter of a million, even though a speech should not be made. But it is cheaper to open one's lungs in political campaigning than one's pocketbook. Though Mr. Wanamaker. during all this period, was making speeches os tensibly for Mr. McKiniey. and had not declared himself a candidate for the senate, neither he nor his friends were by any means idle. Nearly a year be tore, in the fall of 1895, his henchmen egan their secret work, setting up leg islative candidates In Mr. Wanamaker's Interest. According to a recent writer, this Is the way it was done: HIS CAMPAIGN METHOD. "Beneath the aegis of his candidacy had gathered the disappointed am bitions of a score or more defeated as pirants for office, so-calltd "reformers, of every shade and condition, and a coterie of the highest ,paid political talent to lie found in the market. The work of the Business Men's League in Pennsylvania for Pr;id-nt McKin iey was made secondary, and only a cloak for a united effort to elect Mr. Wanamaker to the United States sen ate. Branches of the League were es tablished in almost every county east of the Allegheny mountains,- and through them a determined effort was made to set up candidates for the legis lature in the several counties favorable to Mr. Wanamaker. In fact, unless a candidate so announced himself, al though he may have been a Republi can of known Integrity, he was instant ly met with opposition by the Business Men's League. Paid emissaries of this outfit under the auspices of the League, traveled throughout the fcur corners of the state, and, as appeared from the testimony taken In an alleged bribery case, agreed to furnish money to effect the nomination and election of candi dates for the legislature, exacting written pledges that the candidates so nominated and elected would support Mr. Wanamaker in his effort to reach the United Slates senate." OVER A THIRD OF A MILLION. Ail this time Mr. Wanamaker was striding up and down the state, "mak ing speeches for McKiniey." so he said, making them where they were not needd. while the party's great leaders, in New Tork. Chicago. Washington and elsewhere, were struggling to evolve victory out of what seemed a hopeless contest. Though net proclaiming him self a senatorial candidate until after the presidential election, he was build ing his political fences day by day; and his lieutenants were raking the state as with a finetooth comb for Wana maker legislators. It has been ascertained from reliable sources that the hopeless contest cost over a third of a million dollars $300, ofl to be precise. And again "the other fellow" was elected senator! Ambition! Ambition! Thou inveterate. Insatiate tyrant, let now fc.iy victim rest In peace! But no Still by ambition in spired, the curtain had no sooner been rung down upon the caucus tragedy the vote was against him by the ratio of 1.13 to 71 than Mr. Wanamaker had registered a new vow go to the United States senate he would, or else play th? Sanson role, and pull down the pillars cf the Republican temple, even though the party should be smashed and crushed to atoms. A NEW CONSPIRACT HATCHED. J It was then the new conspiracy was hatched. Having failed to secure an entrance Into the United State senato through Republican channels, the next effort should be made outside of party !!nii. The Initial step lay in the di rection of creatlag discord and disseo. sion In Republican circles, and in bring ing odium, not only uton the leaders, but upon the rank and file of the party, A select coterie of skilful politicians and expert newspaper men was to bq kept in Harrlsburg throughout the ses. Eton, whose duties were to assail every act of the legislature, misrepresent the doings and purpoees of the Republican legislators end party leaders, and sow in the popular mind, throughout the state, seed: of discontent. As the result of ruch a program, a cry of "reform" was to be raised, and an effort made to elect an anti-Republican legislature, the real though hidden purpose beirg the election of Mr. Wanamaker to the United Slates senate. That was the conspiracy hutched out that night at the Commonwealth hotel, Harrlsburg, when Ma Wanamaker found himself beaten in the Kepubiieau stueus by sti almost two-thirds rota. A oeaut'ful scheme, indeed! A CRUSADE OF MISREPRESENTA TION. And how did it develop? The pro gram was followed to the very letter. From the opening of the legislature, in Jenuary, 1SS7, until its close, in July, every act or omission of the legislature was made the subject of attack, mis representation being the chief weapon f offense. Every feature which could possibly be assailed .was distorted and twisted, and the result of such analysis spread broadcast through the columns of personal organs controlled by Mr. Wanamaker's store advertisements, or through the medium of Democratic newspa-ers. Insiduously the poison was spread throughout the commonwealth In the effort todece!ve the people. Nor did they discontinue their work when the legislature adjourned. From that da,- till now they have kept up their cr-js,de. through favored organs, by rrer.ns of literature, and on the stump, rt a stone being left unturned in the .ffort to hoodwink the people and se cure the defeat of Republican legisla tive nominees. But the work of the conspirators did not end here. They must have ac complices in order to make anything n respectable showing of strength. They made some effort to secure the nomination of their henchmen at the various county primaries, but were almost uniformly defeated. They next turned to their natural allies, the. Democrats. They first concluded to support the Democratic candidate for governor, provided he was a man they could deal with. They would give him their votes and Influence at the polls, upon the condition that h; would use his good offices in getting Democratic legislators to purport Mr. Wanamaker for the senate. CONFERENCES AT MIDNIGHT. Mr. Wanamaker held many confer ences, generally at night, at his mag nificent country seat near Philadelphia, with Democratic leaders, and the de tails were discussed. Judge Gordon was to be their candidate for governor. But the Democratic bosses interfered with this program by nominating Mr. Jenks Instead of Judge Gordon. The conspirators were not daunted, how ever. Some 6f them dickered with the Jenks Democrats; others dickered with the Swallow Prohibitionists: Mr. Wan amaker dickered with both, his country palace being the favorite meeting place, far away from the public gaze. What has been the result of this plot ting and counter plotting? In a num ber of counties combination legislative tickets have been nominated, the nomi nees being Democrats. Prohibitionists and so-called Republicans, the latter being very much In the minority. This program has been carried out in Ches ter. Blair. Dauphin. Huntingdon and several other counties. But in most cases no actual combination has been effected, the purpose of the conspirators being to throw the weight of their in fluence (n liehalf of the Democratic candidates for the legislature. FOR THE OVERTHROW OF REPUB LICANISM. And this is the situation as It stands today. In order to wreak his ven geance uion those whom he holds re sponsible for hi repeated defeats, and In order to advance his ambitious pur poses, Mr. Wanamaker has entered into a base conspiracy for the overthrow of Republicanism in Pennsylvania. Acting through his high salaried hench men and his personal organs in Phila delphia, to each one of which he pays annually on an average forty thousand dollars (140.000) for advertising, he is seeking to defeat regularly nominated Republican candidates for the legisla ture, thus securing the election of the Democratic nominees. He personally ia traversing the state, rrcaking in be half of his infamous program wherever a crowd of people can be Induced to gather to listen to his tirade. This Is the man as he is. stripped of his false mantle of reform and honesty of purpose. The mask is off, and we discover, not a high minded statesman or genuine reformer, but one who, hav ing met defeat in the arena of practical politico now, in furtherance of his un quenchable ambition and his desire for personal vengeance, envelops himself in the livery of political purity and stalks liefore the people proclaiming: "It Is I. the orrly Simon pure political Moses, who will lead you out of the wilderness!" All those Republicans of Pennsylva nia who believe la fair dealing, who object to being hoodwinked, who de spise hypocrisy, who adhere to the right, are cautioned against listening to the specious arguments and mis representations of Mr. Wanamaker and his satellites. By voting for the Re publican nominees for the legislature, put the seal of your disapproval upon the base political conspiracy which seeks to throw the old Republican commonwealth of Pennsylvania Into the hands of Democrats, Prohibition ists and mongrel Republicans. PHARISEES IN POLITICS. A Frank Opinion of the Wana- maker Outfit. Colonel John Hay, of the Carlisle Dally Herald, has sized up the Wana maker outfit and does not hesitate .to express his opinions on the subject. "We have" cared for Mr. Quay so little." he remarked In a recent edi-. toriai. "that we have not spoken to Mm for nearly 20 years, and have fearlessly. In times past, maderather uncomplimentary remarks about him; but he Is an able man, and what is more a thorough Republican, who has done an im:ense amount of work for the party, not only in Pennsylvania, but throughcut the United States. But ve get tired when Mr. Wanamaker. Dr. Swallow, the Business Men's association and the rest of the Pharisees thank God that they are no( as other men are, uhen they are worse than publicans and sinners. They profess to know bet ter and act worse. "The Tharisees were exposed and condemned nearly two thousand years ago, but the woods are full of them jet." Appropriate llyntas.

Which It Will Require Clear and Stronjr Evidence to Overcome. (Special Correspondence. Philadelphia. Oct. 4. The effect of the sensational suits entered against Senator Quay, his son. ex-State Treas urer Haywood and Charles H. McKee, one of the most distinguished attorneys of the state, has been to nobody more amazing than to the unknown and nameless promoters of it. The Infor mation so far is as fatherless as an anonymous letter dropped In a letter box by a common scandal monger. Every party and factional organisation which has been asked has denied con nection with It. Every respectable per son questioned has denied complicity in it. Even Pr. Swallow ventures only to say in his usual vague way that he had reason to believe "certain gentle men" contemplated something of the sort. This, and the time selected, the eve of an election, after all the evi dence there la, if there la any, had been in the hands of the assistant district attorney for many months; the manner of doing It, with every attempt at hu miliation, passing by the ordinary of ficers and putting warrants In the hands of the obnoxious Pinkerton's. when any one of the accused would have responded to the simplest tele phone message, and in fact did respond the minute they saw the announce ment of it in the public prints; the theatrical proclamation of it in ad vance, through the columns of the newspapers which have been most bit terly assailing the Republican ticket these peculiar features combine to make It seem a case of private ven geance rather than of public Justice a persecution, not a prosecution. The case seems more remarkable when it is remembered that it Is not charged that either the state or any stockholder, depositor or creditor of the bank was defrauded of a dollar, and that the ex-president of the de funct bank, the venerable James Mc Manes, declares that the dealings of the defendants with the bank, so far as they had any. were purely commercial, conducted In accordance with the cus tomary methods of banking business. Whatever the case may hereafter de velop, the time and manner of its be ginning has cast discredit upon it, ar.d created contempt fur its promoters and sympathy for those whom it assails. Most people desire to see justice Im partially enforced, but they also love fair play, and if the present suits are founied upon substantial evidence, and Inspired by honest motjves. they have been extremely unfortunate in the time ar.d manner of their institution. Their final political effect is still to be determined. The Morey letter made Garfield's election sure. The immediate Influence of this method of attack Is powerfully shown in tire following editorial, from the pen of Hon. Thomas V. Cooper, In the Delaware County American." Cooper has been leading the bolting fight of "Jack" Robinson for congress In that district, and strongly assailing the leg islative candidates who are declared friends of Senator Quay. In the current issue of his taper, under the heading "Political Arrests," he says: "Times like theee require cool heads and warm hearts. Pennsylvania never saw sharper factional strife, and the party in the state has never before had to face such a revolution immediately following phenomenal majorities. In another editorial in this issue we dis cuss at some length this phase of cur rent excitement and discontent. Both were rising to unprecedented heights from well known causes which we de plore and would correct. If we could. In that article, headed "If We Were Stone." written before the recent sen sational arrests, we point what we think the way for the Republican party. We think, since the arrest of Senator Quay, some sensible admonition is needed for the other side. "We beg all men to believe that it is easy to drag a great name down, so very easy compared with the difficulty of building it up. We beg Just men to look around them and see how many try to drag down rather than buIM. Faction points its finger, and all w ithin the faction are supposed to hiss.

Marat, and the scenes which lifted them to power. They won their brief sway by their glib ability in making suggestions more radical than any that had gone before. They formed the fitting climax to unreasonable times, the reaction came and the guillotine which they had constructed reveled best in their own blood. "The American people have far greater self possession, and Pennsyl vanians have a reputation for Jumping at conclusions very slowly. These are virtues which even the impetuous can not deny. They are gems of virtue now. "A case in point long passed may il lustrate the near futare. The writer was a member of the house at Harris burg in U72. when the state had Its scandal known as the Evans steal Evans having appropriated I190.0UO of rtate funds as a commission for the collection of the war debts due by th general government. Such a commis sion had been authorized only by a law which had been "clerked" through both houses, an abuse since unknown. Gen eral Hartranft was the auditor gen ral ho reviewed previous payments, and. though he had borrowed tS.000 from Evans in a business way, still had the courage to imprison the criminal. He was then a candidate for the guber natorial nomination, and easily as sailed. Evans and his securities in the conspiracy then offered the writer the chairmanrhip of the Independent Re pub It an state committee, which was to be committed to the support cf Bucka lew for governor and Greeley for presi dent, and to be backed by a fund of fO.OOO if he would pass resolutions through the house based upon the Ide that Hartranft was a participant In ths rtcaJ. Hasty investigation convinced hirri that it was but a pinch, a political charge for political purposes, and in stead of Introducing the Impeachment resolution, he went to his peat In the house and exposed all the facts in VGlvtog all of the ring, and the news papers employed to back It. The ring fed. the newspaper syndicate stood Its irround and when Har.tranft was nomi nated, renewed the charges. And then a wave swept over the state demanding the withdrawal of Hartranft. A great caucus was called at the -Continental hotel in Philadelphia, a caucus of great men, who demanded withdrawal. J. I.n Cameron, not then a senator, but a private citizen, walked into that cau cus, defended Hartranft's reputation, raid he should net withdraw, but that his accusers must. Some of them were there. Chester county's county meeting was held the same week, and a resolu tion had been prepared demanding thr Withdrawal of Hartranft. This was in August, months after the legislative exposure, and when t had been forgot ten. The writer attended that meeting, recalled the' exposure, produced th? records, and instead of condemnation, purport was freely given. Then came the reaction, and becaure of t Bucka lew end Grc-ely fell, and Hartranft and Grant triumphed. That experienci n.akes us' cautious as to political ar rests -where political conspiraclus are behind them. It makes us do more than suspend judgment. It makes us hope for such a clearing cf the air as wlii give full opportunity to the accused, and If Innocent, the chance to renew reputations assUled. "W are not nowlntmi. h wiii;tUr Quay, We ars In opposition to his methods In this district In open oppo sition. Wr are trying to smash the two rings in Chester and Delaware which apply those methods and supply others of their own a thousand fold worse. That Is our battle., still con tinued, but In continuing It we are not ready to affirm belief In the guilt of one hi is vaguely accused of speculating w ith state ' and bank funds, neither state nor bank losing anything by any of the alleged transactions. The ac cusers do not come out and show their presence and their faith In their own accusations. They hide behind of ficers of the law, when they should be known to all men. Quay's methods are one thing; the man Is another. We have known him long and well; we have often quar reled with his politics; we are now In quarrel with his politics, but we know his personality so well that It will take the plainest possible evidence to con vince us that he would wrong either the state or any person within or with out of It a single dollar. In other words, we have known him to be hon est as the world goes, and never saw occasion to doubt his personal Integ rity. "We cannot be wrong In our experi ence, for that Is part of our history; we may be wrong in present estimates, but we prefer to wait once again upon experience before we Join In the per sonal condemnation of one whom we never knew as a fool, nor yet as a fogue. Quay's enemies have repeated the Delaney mistake when Swallow was arrested, and If these prosecutions ef Senator Quay and bis son and ex state treasurer and others are actuated by political motives and times to sul: political ends, their effect will be Just the reverse of that planned, as la the case of Hartranft more than a quarter of a century ago. Not a foreign born citizen but knows the bane of political arrests: not an American who reads but deplores the practice, unless the motive is high and wholly for the public good. Then they are justified, but only then, and all too sadly the justification must wait while grave questions are pending and turning upon things which in the end may be shown to be mere f onsplracles. Into this vortex we are plunged by po litical arrests." Another sample of this Immediate effect upon faii-minded people Is the following editorial in the Chester Re publican, a paper which has con sistently and strongly opposed the Quay leaders In that county. It says: "If Senator Quay is guilty of an in fraction of the criminal code, the fact that he has attained high position in national affairs in itself increases the gravity of the offense, for which, if conviction follows, ought to bring upon him the severest penalty which the law Imposes In such cases. Of the facts and circumstances on which the charge W based we have'- no information other than that which appeared in the Phila delphia evening papers yesterday, bu as Senator Quay is amenable to a pros ecution for an alleged criminal act, ai is the humblest person in this com monwealth, so equally with his fellows to him applies the charitable precept of law, which proclaims that all men are deemed Innocent until their guilt haa been legally established. "The time, however, in which the prosecution Is instituted Is ill advised. On the very eve of an important elec tion, in which Senator Quay has been selected as a shining mark at which the shafts of his enemies are aimed, will necefsarily lend to the case an ele ment that may defeat the very pur poses for which the prosecution was Instituted. His prominence in the state and in the Republican party, and the efforts which are being made in almost every county In the commonwealth to strip him cf power and. Influence, will breed a suspicion in the public mind that the machinery of the criminal law has been put In motion not so much to secure the end of Justice as it Is to crush him Individually, that others may fall heir to the place he now holds, and from which this prosecution may eject him. The American people 'love fair play,' and their sympathies go out to the man or men who are forced Into a position which may appear as ihat f martyrdom. The prosecution cannot out intensify the political struggle in .his commonwealth, and if public opin on crystallizes into the general belief hat Senator Quay has been selected is a victim, to be slaughtered for po Itical reasons alone, the effects of the proceedings are likely to add to his rength. If the underlying design of the prosecution Is for political reasons It will miscarry In its intentions, for that has ever been the conclusion of such attempts in the history of this na tion. If the object of the prosecution is to honestly punish those who have combined together for criminal pur poses the fact that there will be given to it a political significance may arouse a public sentiment that is likely to cul minate in defeating the ends of jus tice. "The criminal proceeding which has been taken against Senator Quay could have been delayed for five weeks with out endangering the case of the com monwealth. But. as before stated. In forcing It Into prominence on the very eve of an election. In which Senator Quay has so much at stake, the chances are that the public will regard It' as purely a political dodge, and the sym pathy it will arouse In his behalf will only strengthen Senator Quay before the people.

HIS FOECES DEMOEALIZED. Ilia Alliance With the Democracy and Prohibition Force to Capture the Lca-UIatnre Is in Had Way. (Special Correspondence.) Harrlsburg. Oct. i. Two Incidents of the past few days have been a source ! of annoyance and disappointment to j the Wanamaker-Demoeratic-Prohibi- j tion alliance In their efforts to capture j the Pennsylvania legislature in the campaign to elect the Philadelphia millionaire, or a Democrat, to the Uni ted States senate. One of Wanamaker's newspapers In the Quaker City, which, j when not opposing the election of regu- ; larly nominated Republican candidates j for the legislature, is booming Prohl- j bitlonist Swallow for governor, has been attempting to make capuai i.-i their Democratlc-rrohlbltlon campaign by charging that the Republican state organization Is opposing the re-election of Congressman Charles W. Stone. In the Warren-Venango district. STANDING BY HON. C. W. STONK. This campaign Invention was quickly exploded when Colonel William A. Stone, the Republican candidate for governor, and United States Senator Boles Penrose went up to Hon. C. W. Stone's district and practically opened the Republican state campaign. Both Colonel Stone and Senator Penrose ad dressed meetings frsm the same plat form with Hon. C. W. Stone, and their cordial and earnest words of com mendation of his public services and appeals to Republicans to rally to his support. In the fight made against him by Free Silverite Sibley, was the most complete refutation that could be given to the malicious misrepresentations of the Wanamaker organs. The publication In the newspapers of the 30th ult, that the sum of 150 S. O had been paid to State Treasurer Rel com by Receiver Barlow, of the Pen pie's bank, of Philadelphia, was couplt J with the announcement from the state treasurer that with this payment the complete Indebtedness due the state from insolvent banks was wiped out. EVERT PENNY PAID THE STATIC "I am happy to say." said Treasurer Beacom to an interviewer, "ihat with this check for JHO.aOO the state of Penn sylvania gets every penny due her from banks that have had to close their doors. The money- which was de posited in the Chestnut Street bank, of which the late William M Singerly was president, was made good some time ago." A favorite theme for attacks on the Republican party by Wanamaker and his supporters has been "the broken banks," in which the state had de posits. The allegations on this score now fall to the ground- It is a matter of oiilcial record that since 1S10 the state of Pennsylvania has not lost a dollar of the 43.000,000 handled by Its state treasurers. No financial institu tion In this or any other county can show as good a record in the handling of such sums of money as the treasury of the state of Pennsylvania. The Wanamaker forces are in a bay way for new campaign thunder. THE FUSION DITCH. Tha Republican Party Not Going to Be Dumped Into It. "It Is conceded that the fight for the possession of the hwse of representa tives is close aud doubtful," says the ! Philadelphia Inquirer. "With the hous; ' Democratic the president would have ' only the senate to rely upon. There a'3 90 senatois. including the one who is about' to be elected in Oregon. With ; him the senate has 5 straight Repub- 1 Means exactly one-half. Now let the fusionists carry Pennsylvania and rr- I tire Quay, and the party strength in tie ! senate will le 44. In other words. Penn sylvania is asked to take a hand In giving McKiniey a hus.ile congress at a time wht-n the greatest questions of a feneration are to be met. "And yet the fusionists would side track Manila, Cuba. Porto Rico, and Wanamakrrites and Democrats and Prohibitionists are openly making deals to elect a fusion legislature, and through that legislature a fusion sena tor. This Is their one Issue, and the sole pne they wouM have the public recog pize. "Most certainly the Republican party js not going to be led into a fusfun ditch apd dumped there to the detriment of tf.e administration at Washington and if the vast and prcgrissive pcllcies fi-r the earr'rs out cf which I'residv-nt i McKlnky rrust hive the sui port of Re- I I ublicaa lVnn3y;-.an:a."
