A considerable number of our “re. organized” exchanges, as well as a good- ly proportion of those who accept the dictum of the bosses of that movement as the doctrines of the , are worrying themselves almost sick over the possibility of an “extra session” of the Legislature should amendment, No. one, authorizing the issuing of $50,000, 000 bonds, for the betterment of the pub- lic roads of Pennsylvania, be adopted at the coming election. These charge of the Democratic party of the State, (and in fact are, so far as the party policy and distribution of its patronage is concerned) and as a consequence must be held responsible for its success or defeat, ought to live in great hope that conditions may give our Republican friends an excuse for calling an “extra session.” A movement of that kind by Governor TENER would be the greatest thing possi- ble for the Democrats of Pennsylvania. It would prove a veritable God-send for them. It would lift the party out of the lethargy and despondency that “re. organization” has driven it into, and bring a little forgetfulness of the unjust and undemocratic distribution that its bosses have made of the patronage its workers earned. It would help us elect a Governor, a Legislature, a number of Congressmen and a United States Senator. Every one remembers what Governor PATTISON’S “extra session” did for the Democrats. It practically wiped them off of the political map of Pennsylvania, And yet he was one of the purest and best Governors the State ever had. A TENER “extra session” will do the same for the Republicans. And because it will do this it can’t come a minute too soon to suit us. We are sorry that those who are at the head of the organization don't see it in this light. It is the one thing that voters, anxious for the success of the Demo- cratic party in Pennsylvania, have no reason to fear. It might be tough on the State, but it would rid it of Republican rule and Republican wrongs, and restore our Commonwealth to an honorable and respected position among her sister States of the Union. Fear of an “extra session” is no reason for any Democrat voting against the $50,000,000 loan amendment. SS — —For once our granger friend, the Hon. W. T.

It reads: “The Clarion Democrat, although having the largest circulation of any newspaper in the county, was not given the amendments to advertise, and, as one of the reasons, it is very natural to infer that the Peniose ma- chine does not want Democratic votes for the so-called good roads bond amendment. HENCE WE RECOMMEND that all Demo. crats be careful to vote “NO” on the fifty If any one ever heard a narrower or a more unworthy reason given why voters should oppose a great State movement to lessen the local taxes of the people, or a more, ignominious admission that a newspaper's support depends upon the patronage that to have knowledge of it. PETS such reasons, and such evidence of a willingness to allow public patron. age to control the views and recom- mendations of a professed “reform” news- paper, make us blush for the honor and manliness of a profession of which we have been a member for lo! these many years. Really we had a very different opinion of the principles influencing the actions of our Clarion contemporary and its publisher.
