Supplementing the work of the Dem ocratic editors, are a corps of profes sional Derm cratic politicians who are ' .-'lumping the counties repeating i huri < that are absolutely unfound ed, aii.: circulating most flagrantly false stat' menu in regard to Mr. ■ vet. .. ij- the legislature and ;n oiin i ways misrepresenting the lie publican candidate and his party. This campaign of vituperation and abuse is a logical sequence to the at tempt at the very outset of the con test to weaken Mr. Sheatz among the i eld soldiers of Pennsylvania by the distribution of circulars teeming with | falsehoods and malice, and designed to array the veterans of the Civil War a'-aius' him in the matter of the sol- j tiiory pension bill. The prompt and emphatic repudia tion of this scheme by leading and in- C: titial members of the Grand Army, v.: r. knew Air. Slieatz's ardent aud const ientious interest in the old sol u rs and sailors, and who. over their signatures, told the story of hi 3 devo te n to their cause, for the time being, completely demoralized the managers of the Democratic machine. Bourbon Tactics Recalled. Hostilities have been resumed, how ever. There has evidently been an.agree merit among the Democratic politi cians togo the limit in the closing days of the canvass in the matter of misrepresentation and abuse of every- j thine Republican, and especially of I the Republican nominee for state treasurer. Lost week marked the opening of this contemptible campaign. It is to be carried on without cessation until the polls close upon the nth of No I v. iiiber, but there is every reason to ' tieli-ve that the well-meaning citizens of the Keystone state will recognize tips revival of the despicable Bourbon methods which for years characterized Democratic campaigns in this and 1 other states. Tli" citizens of Pennsylvania are all familial with the high personal character, the unblemished public record, I' • clean purpose and the proved i -te.'.rity of John O. Sheatz, i and it!■ t rtaiu that the more the Democrr ditors and machine ora torn attack him the greater will be his majority at the coming election. The people have confidence in Mr. Sl.eatz and will resent the disreputable campaign that is being waged against him. Looking to the Presidency. Under existing conditions in Penn sylvania. the success of the Republi can ticket is inevitable. 12 v try effort ou the uart of the op- , position to divide the Republican vote: has been a failure. Independents who ! i have recently been figuring in fusion | movements are practically all lined 1 up for the Republican candidate. They i i see that this is but the begiuning of a ' great national fight in which the Re- j i publican hosts will be lined up against ihe national Democracy in a struggle for the presidency. They want, to have, * iheir party united now. so that Republicanism will not be handi ' capped next year when it shall be called upon to elect a successor to i President Roosevelt. They want to let ' tTie nation know by the size of the Re ; publican majority In Pennsylvania this, fall that the Keystone state is again i 1 at the front, prepared to battle for the i I principles and the policies which have ! made this the greatest nation upon i the globe. VETERANS SPEAK OUTj Ringing Call to Old Soldiers to Back Sheatz For Treasurer. t I i HE WAS THEIR FRIEND i ■ 1 Patriotic Record of the Republican i Party In Pennsylvania In Recogniz ing the Services of the Nation's i Brave Defenders. j [Special Correspondence..! Philadelphia. Oct. 15. \ Nearly 600 well known veterans of j I the Civil War, soldier# and sailors who fought for the flag in the hour of ths : nation's peril, have united in an ad dress to their fellow citizens of Penn- i | sylvania caling upon them to support 1 John O. Sheatz, the Republican nomi- j nee for stale treasurer. This action is doubly significant in j . view of the early attempts of Demo- i : cratic politicians to allign the war vet- j j crane in opposition to Mr. Sheatz. A Patriotic Recard. j The address to which these heroic j Pennsylvanians append their signa tures is a comprehensive statement of : the record of the Republican party in ! i the matter of caring for the veterans | I of the war in hot.h ths state and the j nation. It recites in detaii the many j 1 pension measures passed and gives flg- I mes showing the amount of money ! j paid out to the veterans. it emphasizes the policy of the Re- j j publican leadership in Pennsylvania. - { whlth has been responsible for the' generous appiopriatlons made to the j schools for the care of the orphans of j soldiers and sailors, a total eapendi- j j tiire of 512.R40.163.74 having been made { to date for this Item alone. Thers has been appropriated sums , aggregating $1.887.05».42 to the home j at Erie for friendless veterans, and i I homes for veterans and their wive# i established at Brookville, Hawkins ! Station and Philadelphia have been as I 1 sisted by the state to the extent of i $200,000. Sheatz Was Sincere. A careful review of the work of John O. Sheatz, as chairman of the > committee, on appropriations of the | house of representatives, ia given and ! Mr. Sheatz is declared to have acted | I with the highest spirit of patriotism • and fairness iu framing the bill pro- . viding for pensions for the veterans which Uoveinor Stuart, on account of . insufficiency of funds, felt obliged lo ; ! veto. As lo Mr. Sheatz Ihe address among ; other things says: i "Because of the insufficiency of the j Fi".: fv.vls the governor was com 1 | pei;.,.- H -y reluctantly veto the j j bill. but. \\<r have every reason to be | lleve that at the next session cf the j j legislature of our state there will be i I sufficient members, like Mr. Sheatz. ; | whose patriotic impulses and affection : j for tlie veterans of the Civil War will | Insure the passage of a satisfactory : i bill for the purpose indicated. Jn view of the facts herein present- : ed. is it necessary to offer any further | firgurnents or reasons when we ask j ! you to support the Republican State! 1 ticket 1" Ihe coming election? The I candidates to be voted for have bean ! j nominated ny the same old parttoa-- i I John O. Sheatz for state treasurer, by ' the party of I.incola. Grant and Me-' Kinley. the party that has ever sus- ; tained and cared for th« veteran, his 1 ! widow and the orphan, and honored j and loved him for his services; hit op- i , ponent, by the party that has never j , been known to favor the veteran in 1 1 any way. but ha« stricken his name | from the pension roll and has left him I an object of charity. "We ask for. not only your own j vote, but that you use your influence ' with your fellow citizens that our j I state, which was true lo the union in the days of 'fll, may still remain true to Die party that has ever been true to the Union and ha£ always been a friend to the soldier." Republicans Are Aroused. The chairman says he is htghiy grat ified with the reports that come to him , from every section of the state. The | committeemen in all he counties are i working enthusiastically and they as sure him that a very large percentage ! ! of the rote will be polled. There have'been so many requests! received at the state headquarters for j meetings to be addressed by Candi- ; date Sheatz that owing to conflicting 1 dates suggested the state chairman j" has had difficulty in complying with ; the wishes of all of the county chair- , men.
