The servants of the boss who com posed the convention had obeyed or ders in nominating his man, but what the nominee's views might be on pub lic questions was of no interest to them whatever. Probably they be lieved that he had no views except such as his master allowed him to entertain. Candidate Stone having missed the opportunity of tiring off his speech at a convention that didn't want to hear it, sent it out nevertheless, as if it had been regularly delivered. Its most notable feature is its effort to connect his machine candidacy with the war, and to give an appearance of patriot ism to Quay's rotten politics. A single passage will be sufficient to show the hypocritical character ot the address : "We are fighting the battles of Al mighty God. Already grief sits about the hearthstone ard tears are shed in our State for the first of the fallen in this war. ** • We of Allegheny will not soon forget the Maine. "Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget." In accepting this nomination arrd becoming the standard-bearer of a great party in a great State, I natur ally feel the responsibility that rests upon me." Speaking of this bare-faced attempt to disguise machine rascality by , the use of patriotic expressions and an invocation to the Almighty, the anti- Quay Republican Philadelphia Ledger says : "It would be extremely diffi cult to compress into as brief a form so striking an example of the unseem ingly mixing o! political and demo gogic platitudes with unconsidered blasphemy." There could not be a more severe condemnation of Quay's candidate than the above quotation extracted from one of the most reputable Re publican journals in the State. "Lest we forget" the real issue of the contest, in which the people of the State are about to engage, it must be born in mind that this man Stone, whom a political, licentious, autocrat has forced upon the Republican party as its candidate for Governor and who so hypocritically prates about "fighting the battles of Almighty God," is merely -the retainer of a party boss by whose election to the governorship a vicious political ma chine would maintain its misrule of this State.— Dem.
