BARCLAY, Of Pittsburgh. . —2_ Just at the time when New York turned the water into her new Cro- ton aqueduct beer dropped from $6.00 to $3.50 per barrel in Chicago. The windy city of the West is determined to convince the country that she has greater facilities and advantages for a World's Fair than is possessed by the effete metropolis of the East. Last Monday one of the most prominent and respectable Republicans of Belletonte met the editor of the WarcaMaN on the street and asked him not to omit the publication of Henry C. Lea's letter in his paper. He said that that document should ap- pear not only in every Democratic pa- per in the State, but in every Republi- can paper as well, as Republican edi- tors could not do a greater service to their party than by exposing the cor- rupt and arrogant Boss who has as. sumed to be its owner. He said that the Republican party needs nothing so much asa vindication against Quay. This prominent aad respectable Re- publican intends to vote for Parrisox. ——The papers that are doing ser- vice m the interest of the Boss are unnecessarily interested in what ex- Senator WALLACE is going to do. It isn't at all likely that they have been taken into his confidence. His busi- nest calls him to Europe for a few weeks, but he will be back on the soil of Pennsylvania long enough before the election to convince everybody, particularly meddlesome Republican journals, that in a political contest he has lost none of his old-time power, and that his attachment to Democratic principles aud his zeal for Democratic success have not diminished in the least. Gentlemen of the Republican press, you will hear from the ex-Senator before the ides of November in a way that won't be pleasant to you. ——President HarrIcoN was iovit- ed to attend the Williams Grove Gran- gers’ picnic, and in the letter returning thanks for the invitation he is repre- sented to have said that he was glad to have an opportunity ‘to educate Penn- sylvania farmers more thoroughly as to what is necessary for their mainten- ance and life.” This sounded very much like. the expression of a man who has grown as big-headed as the President has since his elevation to his high office, and yet it didn’t seem possible that he could indulge in such foolish language, even though believing, as he no doubt does, that he is ca- pable of giving the farmers some valu- able suggestions. But it turns out that Mr. Harrison didn’t use such an ex- pression in his letter, and the Grangers may attend the pic nic without the fear that the President will be there intent upon making a dunce of himself. BARAT TN Death of General Fremont, It was but a few weeks ago that the friends of General Jonny C. FremoNT had the gratification of seeing him re- stored to his former rank in the army and placed on the retired list as a Major General. They were pleased to think that this would render him comfortable in his old age which they hoped to see prolonged for some years yet. On Monday it was announced that he had died suddenly at his home in New York on that day. An attack of peri tonitis ended hislife, which bad extend- ed through seventy-seven years, he having been born in 1813. Fremont was not one of our greatest men, but he always will be placed among Ameri- ca’s celebrated characters. His explo- ration of the unknown regions among and beyond the Rocky Mountains gave him his first distinction and won for him the nameof “Pathfinder.” The celebrity gained by this exploit led to his nomination as the first Republican candidate for President. During the war of the rebellion he was given im- portant military commands, but he was an utter failure as a military leader. He will be remembered chiefly as the man who blazed the way of civilization across the continent to the Pacific ocean. Silence. The quietude of RoiNsoN Crusor's island-home was nothing to be com- pared to the silence that has fallen upon the Republican leaders of Peno- sylvania. Quay is silent, but his si- lence does not surpass that of DeraMA- TER. McDowsrn, who got the con- gressional nomination in the Twenty- fifth district by buying the Beaver dele- gates, surrounds himself with a pano- ply of silence. WarLace who managed the deal is equally silent. The Press, which some months ago was almost clamorous for DALAMATER to purge himself of serious charges brought against Lim, has been overtaken by a silence on that subject that makes the talling of a leaf positively noisy in com- parison. The silence that prevails in Republican circles can be equalled on- ly by the silence of the grave to which the old party will be borne in Novem- ber. Unlike the usual annual alarm about the failure of the Delaware and New Jersey peach crops, the supply cf the luscious fruit from those quarters this year will be an invisible quantity. The premature advance of the buds caused by the mild weather of last win- ter put them in condition to be destroy- ed by succeeding frosts, with a result that placed a crop for this season among the impossibilities. The chance for peaches in other sections is equally slim. The carefull and provident housewife this year will be saved the labor of “putting up” the usual family snpply of canned peaches, but she will be pretty sure to expend her energies upon some other branch of the canning business for which the season is more favorable. It doesn’t seem like sum- mer to her, and she isn’t happy, if she can’t array the pantry shelves with the customary product of the canning season. --—Thank yon,Mr. Brave, for say- ing in your letter to Senator FRYE that “there is not a line in the entire [Me- “Kinley tariff] bill that would open a “market for another bushel of wheat “or another barrel of pork.” This is a matter of great interest to the Ameri- can farmers, Blaine Should Not Complain. Secretary Braing, writing from his sammer retreat at Bar Harbor to Sena- tor Fryg,expresses the astonishment he experiences in learning that “American “flour under the new duties imposed “by Spain, cannot reach the Cuban “ market under acostof $11.46 per bar- “rel, counting the shipment price in “ New York at $4.80 per barrel ;”’ and that “other articlesof American growth “are likewise taxed by Spain to the “ point of prohibition.” Does it become Mr. BLAINE to com- plain about the Spaniards doing exact- ly what the congress of his own party is doing—in fact, setting an example to other nations by imposing tariff duties that are almost prohibitive? If our farm products are being excluded from foreign markets,are not foreigners justi fied for such exclusion by the high tariff of this coantry? A tariff is a tax, Mr. BLAINE, as you admit when you say that “articles of American growth are taxed by Spain to the point ot pro- hibition,” and it is a kind of tax which one nation has as good a right to re- sort to as another. ——The President signed the Silver bill on sight and the new bullion Treas- ury notes will soon be rustling in the hands of the money changers. ios————— Why He Flopped. The Philadelphia Press has publish ed expressions of Republicans in va- rious parts of the State indicating their: satisfaction with the nomination of DeraMaTer. Among them was that ot Mr. AvporLpa OpPENHEIMER, the lead- | ing clothing merchant of Sunbury. The Democrat of that: place gives the following explanation of OPPENHEIMER'S case, which certainly conveys an econ- omic as well as a political moral : Oppenheimer came to’ this country from Germany about twenty-five yearsago, and af- ter carrying a pack through this region, open- ed a clothing store at Trevorton. In a short time he moved to Sunbury, where he has been located ever since, and has grown very rich out of hjs business. Like the vast majority of the people who come to ;this country from Ger- many, Oppenheimer was a natural Democrat, and was with the Democratic party until in the campaign of 1888, when he turned against Cleveland and supported Harrison, One of his reasons was an unique one, and one that every farmer and laboring man in this county should study over. He was opposed tc the posi- tion of the Democratic party on free wool. If we had free wool a $12 suit would sell for $3.00, and 80 on in proportion, through all the clothing stock. Free wool, then, meant that a clothing stock worth $20,000 before the passage of a free wool bill would be worth $16,000 afterwards, a loss of $4,000 to the man owing the stock, but a gain of just that difference to the farmers and laborers who buy the clothing. Suits would be cheaper, and that would help every purchas- er, but the sellers profit would be less. There Oppy was against Cleveland. The same eye to self interest that led this clothing merchant to oppose free wool should affect in an opposite way those who are interested in baving cheaper clothing. The New Chairman. The Democratic State Central Com- | mittee met in Harrisburg on Wednes- day to elect a chairman in place of Mr. Hagrrity,who was unable to act in that i DELAMATER HAS SHRUNK FROM ‘ PUBLIC ACCUSATIONS. ‘ - Mr. Quay, who so carefully avoids icourts and juries, bas seemed to im- | agine that if the Republicans of Penn- | sylvania could be cozened into indors- capacity on account of other pressind® ing at the polls his candidate it would business, and chose congressman Kerr of this District to head the Committee as chairman and manage the Siate campaign. L'his was an excellent se- lection. Mr. Kerr is intelligent, ac- tive and energetic, and has proved his capacity for organization as chairman of the Clearfield Democratic county committee The record he has made in congress is of a hich order for a new member, and the same qualities which be has displayed as a representative will make him a most efficient leader of a campaign. His strong friendship for Mr. WALLACE, viewed in connec- tion with his selection as chairman, is a significant and auspicious ecircum- stance. Every thing seems to tend to the success of the Democratic ticket. The decline of sentimental in- terest in the heroic and patriotic features of the war for the Union cymmented upon by the Nation . No one need be surprised that this interest, which was co strong some years ago, is weakening. The spectacle of the rush of pension claimants demanding pe- cuniary compensation for their patriot- ism gives the service of the old veter ans such an appearancs of venality that the patriotic sentiment is entirely eliminated. Heroism is divested ofits sentimentality when a money valne is attached to it. The hero then becomes a mercenary. ——Murar Harsteap, who has de- voted many years to the waving of the bloody shirt and never winced at the perpetration of any outrage upon | the rights of of the Southern peaple, is! opposed to the Force Bill. sition to it may be attributed to conviction that, if passed, it will be the death warrant of his party. His oppo- Henry C. Lea Scathes the Republican Boss, He Calls Upon His Fellow Republicans to Free Their Party from the Do- mination of a Corrupt Leader. Immediately after the noraination of Delamater it was announced in the Re- publican papers that Henry OC. Lea, Charles 8. Wolf and other Republicans who had led the Independent movement against Cameron bossism in 1882, had announced their intention of supporting Quay’s candidate. The falsity of such a report, so far as Mr. Lea is concerned, is shown by the following address which he makes to his fellow Republicans : TO THEREPUBLICANS OF PENNSYLVANIA. It is not often that any political or- ganization has such an opportunity of redeeming itself from a corrupt domina- tion as that which is offered to us in the November election. Eight years ago, in 1882, the thoughtful members of the Republican party rose against the boss- ism of the Cameron clique and taught it a wholesome lesson, which should have served to purify our politics for a decade. Unfortunately, the fruits of that strug- gle were thrown away by the supineness which allowed Mr. Quay, in 1884, to obtain a “vindication” by successfully competing for the office of State Treas- urer ix spite of the rumors which con- nected his name with misappropriation of the public funds. It was then predicted that his next step would be to secure the coming Senatorial vacancy and to supplant Mr. Cameron as the Republi- can boss of Pennsylvania. These pre- dictions have been, unfortunately, veri- fied, and the results are seen in the de- gradation of our political position, which renders our State an object of pity and contempt throughout the Union. The bossism. of the Camerons had in it some elements of manliness; that of Mr. Quay is sunk to the lowest level of ‘practical politics,” based as it is solely on adroit manipulation of patronage in- spired by the meanest selfishness. Tt represents not one single idea of Repub- lican statesmanship and public policy, but only the determination to rule or ruin. The selfish ambition of the boss and “his henchmen is its sole guiding principle, and its methods, as exhibited in Cambria county, are those of the sneak thief and foot-pad when the dis- tribution of the spoils fails to eftect its object. QUAY WANTS ANOTHER VINDICATION, As in 1884 Mr. Quay again comes before you for a ‘‘vindication.” Then the accusations against him were sim- ply rnmors, the truth of which few had an opportunity of investigating. Now these rumors have assumed the shape of public charges, strengthened by every detail of time and place and circum- stance, and to them have been added accusations of subsequent malfeasances committed by him, of even greater criminality, similarly weighted with more than abundant details. Tt is not necessary to repeat to you the humiliat- ing story of a public life stained with every variety of political immorality. That story has been scattered broadcast over the land by journa's of the highest standing, which have defiantly challeng- ed him to assert and defend his in- nocence by suing them for libel The courts are opened to him,and exemplary damages as well as acquittal before his countrymen would reward him if he could successfully face a jury and under- go a cross-examination ; but for more than five months he has endured these accusations in stolid silence, without taking a step to redeem his character. The inevitable result is that he is regard- ed as acquiescing in the charges and as virtually confessing his guilt, and the country at large is looking to see wheth- er the once proud State of Pennsylva- nia has sunk to so low a pitch of de- gradation as contentedly to endure the domination of such a man. is | eh his | I serve him as a political vindication. | With edifying consistency master and | man are equally in need of vindication, | for Candidate Delamater has been re- | cently publicly azcused by Sentator ! Emory ot bribery to procure his elec- 1 tion to the State Senate, and of perjury | to secure the seat thus gained. His ac- ‘cuser has challenged him to a sait for i slander, and he has shrunk from the | Courts and juries like his boss. He i also prefers the apparently safer course of an indirect vindication at your hands, and asks you to humiliate yourselves by electing to the highest office in the . State a smirched candidate whose no- mination has been forced upon you by a smirched boss. It isa high price that they expect you to pay for the vindica- I tion of two such individuals, and the {impudence of such a demand upon | your self-respect can only be explained | by a kind of political training which has | so completely eliminated righteousness | from public affairs that its very exist- | ence has been forgotten. | MUST TEACH A LESSON TO SELF-CONSTI- TUTED MASTERS. | Fellow-Repubiicans, a vindication i truly is needed at the coming election, [ but it is not the vindication of tainted | politicians who dare not vindicate them- i selves. You are called upon to vindi- | cate your own manhood, to vindicate ! the honesty of your own party, to | vindicate the honor of your own State. | You are called upon to show that vou i do not wear the collar of Mr. Quay ; | that your votes are not to be bought and sold by the manipulation of patron- age, and that you are not to be driven to the polls like cattle to make good the bargains of your bosses. You are called upon to teach a lesson to yourself- constituted masters, and to show the , country at large that the grand old ! party may still be trusted to manage | the affairs of the nation. If Pennsylva- | nia, the stronghold of Republicanism, | the typical Republican State, tamely acquiesces in the debauched domina- tion of Quayizm, and proclaims that | Messrs. Quay and Delamater are its trusted and honored leaders, what chance, { think you, will the Republican party ; have when it asks the support of the sob- ; er second thought of the country in 1892? Rebellion against the usurped domina- tion of such leaders is the truest fidelity tr party and the highest duty of patriot- ism, INTEREST OF THE STA E IN PATTISON’S HANDS. Fortunately, the canvass is one which can be made to turn exclusively on local issues. On all general ques- tions you can give practical expression to your convictions by voting for the Congressional and Legislative candidates who represent them, and you ean thus emphasize the rebuke which you ad- . minister to the methods and morals of Quayism. In ex-Governor Pattison the Democrats have given you an unex- ceptionable candidate, whose record shows that the interests of the State will be safe in his hands. If in mak- ing that record he earned the hostility of the giant corporations —if the influence of the Pennsylvania Railroad and of the Standard Oil Company is under- stood to be counted upon by Mr. Dela- mater—it is only another claim on your suffrages for Mr. Pattison. He repre- sents not only the people against the bosses but the people against the cor- porations, and his defeat will be the triumph of all that is most dangerous and most deadly to our institutions. HeNrY CHARLES LEA. July 9, 1890. | | | | | The Chairman of a Republican County Committee Declares against Delamater. PirrsBurG, Pa., July 12.—L. E. Hamsher, Chairman of the McKean County Republican Committee, and a partner in the Bradford oil well supply firm of which Senator Emery, who re- cently made such grave charges against G. W. Delamater, candidate for Gov- ernor, isa member, was in the city to- day on business. In an interview on the Gubernatorial situation he said : “The feeling against Quay and his man Delamater in McKean county, so near Delamater’s home, is the bitterest I have ever seen. The county is Re- publican by a majority of from 1000 to 1200,but 1 feel confident in saying these figures will be found in the Democratic column this time. The oil producers, who employ most of the labor in that region, will ficht Delamater, because when he was in the Legislature he fought every measure that was Jor their benefit and thereby showed very plainly ‘hat he was playing into the hands of the Standard Company. The belief is firm in McKean county that were Quay’s man elected he would be under the con- trcl of the Standard and would favor all legislation tending to enrich that octopus and crush out the smaller pro- ducers. Heis a corporation man from head to foot, and never was known to be anything else. “The thousands of men employed by the producers will vote against Delama- ter, for their occupation depends upon it. Senator Emery will take the stump for Pattison early this fall, and will do all his talking to Republicans. He will reiterate his charges, which so far Dela- mater has not attempted to deny. Tt is seldom Pennsylvania bas seen a Repub- lican Senator stumping for a Demo- cratic Governor, but such a sight will be witnessed during this campaign. “The Republicans of the oil regions have grown tired of Quay’s dictatorial policy, and will give him a telling re- uke at the polls, the only place they have a chance to speak. It is no exag- geration to say that although Delama- teris a young man he is just as dis- tasteful to the people who know him best as is Mr. Quay. I am a Republi- can, and have been so all my life, never voting any other ticket, but the present party ticket in this State is so distaste. tul to all good Republicans that I for once in my life have decided to vote the straight Democratic ticket.” } Senator Quay’s Boast. i Pittsburg Times (Rep) \ “I have been making Governors all my life, and yet I have never had one of my own. Iam going to nominate Dela- mater and know how it feels to own a Governor just for once.”’— M. 5. QUAY: To raE EDITOR oF THE TiMES—Sir ‘Why is it that you keep the above at the head of your ed torial column ? Do you think M. S. Quay ever made the expres- sion? If so, state where, when and to whom. I do not believe he ever made use of that language. M. J. B. Brooks. The Times has given prominent place for several days to Senator Quay’s boast in order that everybody might know ex- actly why he nominated Mr. Delamater for Governor. All our readers have had abundant opportunity to see it, and as even a few lines of space is valuable. it will give place to other matter for th. present. The Times is responsible for every statement thal appearsin its columns. ‘We know Senator Quay made the re- mark credited to him. If Senator Quay denies this we will prove the assertion. High Praise for the Statc College. At the monthly meeting of the Berks county Agricultural society, held in the court house in Reading, on Saturday, the 5th inst., the report of Messrs. Wellington Van Reed, Dr. Benjamin E. Dry and Cyrus T. Fox, the dele- gates of the society appointed to at- tend the annual meeting of the Penn- sylvania State College, was received. The delegates in ‘the report have the following to say concerning the econdi- tion and prospects of the college : They arrived at the colleze on the worning of Wednesday, June 25th, and were cordially received by the president, Dr. George W. Atherton. After introductions to a number of delegates from different sections ot the State and members of the college faculty, your committee started out up- on an inspection of the grounds and buildings. A number of improvements have been made during the past three years, and . with others contemplated and soon to be accomplished itis evident that the Pennsylvania State College will be justiy entitled to rank with the best institutions of learning in the land. The main buildiog bas undergone nu- merous alteration:, and is now eli adapted to its purposes. Other build- ings have been provided for special branches. There is an extensive chemi- cal laboratory, fine agricultural experi- ment station, commodious armory hall, and other well adapted structures erected within recent years. The institnton is surrounded with numerous cottages, some being of real elegant architectural design, which are occupied by the pro- fessors and students. There area num- ber of elub boarding Louses, in which students are comfortably provided for at the small cost of $2.50 per week. The farm connected with the college has been broughtinto a fine state of cultiva- tion, and is no longer the barren tract that it was said to have been when the site was first selected. A considerable portion is devoted to experimental plots, where hundreds of varieties of seeds pertaining to the farm and garden and including all novelties—are tested. The results of the experiments are faithfully recorded in the bulletins issued monthly, and which can be had by writing for them. Progressive farmers will find much to interest them in these bulletins, and will be glad to second the efforts that are being made by the director of the agricultural experiment station, Dr. H. P. Armsby, under whose super- vision the work of the station is con- ducted and the bulletins are issued. The college is now provided with a faculty that wili compare favorably with the roll of much older institutions. There are twenty-three names on the list, each professor being particularly fitted to impart instruction in the branch or branches in his or her department. At the head is the president, George W. Atherton, L L. D., who ably fills the chair of political and social science, and under whose. excellent administration the college has made such rapid progress. President Atherton has won the con- fidence of the citizens of the common- wealth in his management “{ the in- stitution, and at the meeting of dele- gates he was accorded full meed of praise by the adoption of resolutions com- mending his ability and skill. A num- ber of delegates spoke eloquently in attestation of all that the resolutions implied. It is certainly gratifying to the friends of education in Pennsylvania to know that so much good is being ac- complished at Pennsylvania State Col- lege ; that its classes are full and that annually siudents are graduated who are prepared to enter any of the professions and appear to advantage in whatever walks in life their lots may be cast. Botching tbe Census. Boston Herald. The trifling with the taking of the census which is reported in several quar- ters is very unfortunate. The indica- tions are that the superintendent of the census is an unfit man for his work, and that he has allowed the men under him to be much too of ten selected without r3- gard to any qualification wuside from politics. * Tt is a great pity that the tar- iff question was allowed to enter into consideration in making the appoint- ment, and that one who had no claims on the ground of breadth of attainment or fitness for edministrative work should have been put in a place so difficult and responsible. Crockedness in Huntingdon County's Debt. HuNTINGDON, July 16.—It has re- cently been discovered that the indebt- edness of this county is from thirty-five to forty thousand dollars in excess of what is shown by the last auditor's set- tlement. It seems that the county com- missioners ia their zeal to span each stream in the county with an iron bridge awarded contracts creating a debt of many thousands of dollars in excess of the constitutional limitation. The tax- payers of the county and holders of county bonds are thoroughly aroused, and a full investigation is to be made : at once. a I Ay Sr St Tr TF TR XT She Lost Two Fingers. A Connecticut Woman Badly Injured by a Rabid Hog. New York, July 15.—“She wa? ten by a rabid hog.” That is what Paul Gibier, ofthe Pasteur institike, told a reporter yesterday afternoon, ra- ferring to Mrs. Allen Rosenlibl, of Ham burg, Conn. On the Fourth of July Mrs. Rosenhhl, who is 26 vears of age. went into the pen to see what was the matter with one of the hogs. The beast remained silent, except for a grunt now and then, until young Mrs. Rosenlihl began to examine his mouth. Then the hog grabbed her hand, biting the second and third fingers completely off. The hog placidly swallowed the fingers and before the woman could get away he grabbed her again and hung on until one of the farm hands responded to Mrs. Rosenlibl’s cries and kicked the hog un~ { til he released his hold. The brute then drove Mrs. Rosenlihl and the hired man out of the pen. They rushed oat without closing the door of the pen. The rahid animal then bit the seven otherinhabhitants of the pen and finally they all rushed out into the barn- yard. A dozen cows stood contentedly about the barnyard when the hogs made the dash, but a moment later there was a panic among them. Biting right and lett the hogs all seemed eager to devour the bovines. The pig which bit Mrs. Rosenlihl was frothing at the mouth and seemed to lead the rest in the wild chase, while blood oozed from wounds in each of the grunting animals, Mrs. Roseniihl fainted, but before she did so told the hired man to get the old musket and shoot the beast. The firing was lively around the neighbor- hood, and before twenty minutes had elapsed half a dozen farmers were chas- ing hogs and cattle about the barn yard, while bullets flew in all directions. ‘When the firing ceased dead hogs aud cows were distributed about in a most reckless manner. Mrs. Rosenlihl was carried into the house and attended 'by the village physician, but she grew so nervous and excited that after several daysher life was despaired of. She seemed to beinsane, and would eat nothing but a conglomeration of food which resem- bled that which hogs eat. Yesterday moraning she came to New York and was inoculated. Dr. Gibier said thig was the first time he had ever had & patient who was bitten by a hog, but he. had heard of meany such cases and all of" them resulted fatally. He hopes Mrs, Rosenlihl will pull through. Miners for Paftison. = 4 Clearfield Labor Leader States the Case as He Sees It. AvrTooNA, Pa. July 15—John R. Paisley, a labor leader of the Clearfield district, who says hespeaks for at least 2000 votes, in an interview to-day em- phatically declared against Delamater and the Boss Quay system of rule. He said © “Our miners are disgusted with Quavism, and think Pattison their friend. A careful canvass reveals that the general sentiment atnong the min ers is in favor of Pattison. We do not ex- pet anything from Quay or any personal: representative he proposes to make Gov- ernor. He is too closely allied to cor- porations. “Pattison favored a revision of the Mining law, listened to our petitions, and always had a practieal miner repre-- senting us in conference when referring a question of this nature. As a repre- sentative of a'numerous labor organiza- tion I can truly say that the mining vote will go to Robert KE. Pattison, Re~ publican miners as well as Democratic: being against Delamater.’” A Pattison Republican Club. PiTTsBURG, Pa., July 15.—The re- ports of wholesale Republican disaffec- tion in Blair county were confirmed by H. M. Brownlee,a representative Repub- lican of Tyrone, who ‘was in Pittsburg to-day. Mr. Brownlee says a Pattison Club is now being organized'in Tyrone, and the membership will be made up entirely of Republicans: who have hitherto never voted any other ticket. mr ne —— Oe Will Vote and Work for Pattison. BUTLER, Pa., July 14.—The ranks of the Pattison Republicans in Butler county were strengthened to-day by the accession of W. H. H. Riddle, an influ. ential member of the Republican party. Mr. Riddle says he cannot vote for Delamater, but that he can vote for Pattison with a clear conscience. He will work vigorously for the Democratic nominee %.21 0 Where the Campaign Boodle Will Come From. ° Mr. Quay has $300,000 to stant with in the Pennsylvania campaign. He also relies on the Standard Oil Company and the big coal corporations for further’ aid. The latter have a special griev- ance against Mr. Pattison because of his activity while Governor in procuring leaislation compelling them to provide for the safety of their men. Never be- fore in American politics, not even during the haleyon days of the Tweed ring, have the objectionable and cor- rupt elements been so solid in their sup- port of one party. Sad Accident. At a small station called Mahantanzo, this side of Dauphin, a voung girl ask- ed permission of Mrs. Zerby to take the 8 months baby out for an airing. ‘She consented, kissed the litile one and placed it in the girl's arms. Result: Girl walked off with baby along the rail- road and after a while sat it down near the track while she went off to look for something she had lost. Baby crawled on to the track, along came a train, and they gathered up the remains of the lit- tle one and sent them home in a rough box. The Buffalo Express (Rop.) in- sists that as Matthew Stanley Quay is Chairman of the Republican National Committee and a Republican Senator from Pennsylvania, ‘if he is innocent he owes it to the Bepublican party to vindicate himself. Dignified silence - is no answer to such accusations.”
