K0T1CE TO DEMOCRATS
Pursuant to instructions from the
Democratic State Executive Com
mittee, I hereby announce that the
Democratic State Convention will
meet in the City of Ilarrisbnrg on
August 15, 1901, at twelve o'clock,
noon, in the Opera House, to nom
inate one candidate for the office of
State Treasurer, one candidate for
the office of Supreme Court Judge,
and to transact any other business
the Convention may deem proper.
In accordance with the amend
ment to rule 6, section 1, which
was adopted at the last State Con
vention, the representation to the
coming State Convention shall con
sist of representative delegates, one
for each one thousand, or a major
ity fraction of the one thousand of
the average vote cast for the Dem
ocratic candidates for state offices at
the last preceding state election in
the respective representative dis
tricts of the state, provided that
each representative district shall
have at least one delegate.
William T. Creasy,
Chairman Democratic State Com
mittee. In an editorial in the Commoner,
William Jennings Bryan says the
laboring men of this great country
have a right to organize for their
own protection, and that they will
have the sympathy of the public so
long as they refrain from violence
and destruction of property. The
right of labor to organize, he says,
ought not to be questioned, and
yet the growth of trusts is directly
opposed to the interests of the la
boring men. As every trus-. is a
menace to the labor organizations,
it is strange that any laboring man
votes with the trusts. When the
head of a great corporation controls
all the factories which employ
skilled labor in any particular line,
he is very likely to dictate terms.
It is to be hoped that the laboring
men will win in the present con
flict, but if they were as unanimous
on election day as they were when
a strike was ordered they could
remedy their grievances without a
strike or loss of employment.
Since glancing over the publica
tion of a western matrimonial agency
we are amazed at the number of
wealthy men who are apparently un
able to secure wives. In the "Per
sonal" columns of the paper a wid
ower, 45, worth $750,000 wants a
wife "who will bring sunshine into
his desolate life; a bachelor, 5s,
possesses health and wealth, but no
domestic happiness; another bache
lor, "in coinfortaole circumstances"
seeks a "pure, lovable, marriage
able woman," an elderly gentleman
fine looking, worth' $300,000 affect
ionate, but lonely, bugs for a
sympathetic mate; a gentleman,
financially independent, desires to
meet "a stylish lady, object matri
mony;" a cultured gentleman,
splendid presence, ample means,
would wed "refined lady;" and so
on. Now what is the cause of all
this dispair. Women have never
before ranged so high in the marri
age market. It is perhaps rather
singular that a person never en
counters these rich gentlemen, who
are willing to marry unknown
womeu anywhere outside the "Per
sonal" column; but where there are
so many decoys there must be some
real ducks.

Donnelly and Ryan Must Ab
dicate. The R 13 lit and Iho Wrong Way 0! Cringing
About tho Necessary Rclorm Work What
the Papers of tho Stato Aro Saying A
Large and Harmonious Convention Prom
ised.
The new deal in Philadelphia by
which Ex-Gov. Robert E. Pattison
j is placed at the head of the Demo
cratic cuy organization is an event
that should please every Democrat
j in the state. It has been openly
1 charged for years that the Demo
; cratic organization in Philadelphia
' has been used to serve Quay and
I his friends whenever the oppor
tunity presented itself.
1 Aside from the question as to the
i truth or falsity of this charge, the
, fact that it was persistently made
j and widely believed rendered it ab
; soU-.tely necessary to make a change
in the Democratic leadership of
1 Philadelphia in order to redeem the
organization from the bad repute
into which-it had fallen. The first
important step in anv reform move-
ment is to get the leadership into
able and honest hands; .and when
that is accomplished a long stride
t has been taken toward reaching a
, better condition of affairs. The
j soldier takes the general as his
model; the pupil looks tip to his
teacher, and the followers in any
movement take their inspiration
from their leader. Hence it is of the
utmost importance to have an able,
skillful, courageous and honorable
leader in any movement if success
is to be expected.
Ex-Governor Pattison possesses
the elements of successful leadership
in a remarkable degree, and the
fact that he has undertaken to bring
good out of evil in Philadelphia in
spires a general feeling of confidence
throughout the state that he will
speedily bring about a better politi
cal condition in the Quaker city.
Letters received by the State Cen
tral Committee from all parts of the
state show the high regard in which
Mr. Pattison is held by the people
of Pennsylvania, and it is the duty
of every loyal Democrat to render
all the aid possible to assist in the
responsible task he has undertaken.
The convention to he held on the
15th promises to beau orderly body
composed of intelligent men who
will be guided by their sense of
right as to what is the best interests
of the party.
There seems to be a general de
sire among Democrats for a harmon
ious and business-like convention
with a short platform, touching only
on matters in which the voters of
the state will be interested at the
coming election. Nothing would
please the enemy more than to see
the convention adopt revolutionary
uiciiious m cieanng with the ques
tion of membership, throwing laws,
rules and regulations to the wind.'
In this they will not be gratified,
for should there be anv contested
seats every delegate will be given
his credentials because he is entitled
to them under the rules of the party
organization. The Democratic party
is not a ripper organization, nor
will it countenance ripper methods
in conducting its convention.
That Mr. Pattison has the con
fidence and esteem of his party is
shown by the following editorial
opinions selected from a large num
ber, that have praised his selection
as the head of the Philadelphia
Democracy :
So great is popular confidence in
the probity of this distinguished
Pennsylvanian, so widespread is the
belief that he
risk his reputation in miestinnnhi
association, that Democrats from all
over the state are ready to give him
an possiDie encouragement in the
work of party rehabilitation. There

lie. snonld be given a fair chance
It is not to be expected that in one
day the evils of a decade can be
eradicated. Revolutions are not
wrought so. Time is a necessary
element in these things. There
must be a beginning made in all
things and the beginning of what
we hope to be the end has been
made in Philadelphia by the tin
horsing of Chairman Donnelly.
Johnstown Democrat.
It will be necessary for Chair
man Pattison to undo the demoral
izing work ol the Donnellys and
Ryans and other party leaders, and
to build up the whole superstruc
ture of the party. This will be a
herculean task, in the performance
of which Chairman Pattison will
have the best wishes and co-opera
tion of the honest Democrats
throughout the state. He will have
the opposition of the machine an
nex, which will throw every ob
stacle in his way and make his ef
forts the more difficult, but he will
have the friends of honest govern
ment with him, and with that con
sciousness to spur him on may be
able to cleanse the Augean stables,
or at least to rid the party of the
shame and ignominy that have been
fastened upon it by the selfish lead
ers who were forced to abdicate the
positions they had so long prosti
tuted. Williamsport Sun.
Mr. Pattison's ability and in
tegrity are beyond question and his
irreproachable record of two terms
as governor proves his standing in
the estimation of the honest voters
of the commonwealth, regardless of
parly. The occasion was never
more promising for the Pennsyl
vania democracy. The revolt
against Quayism, Stoneisni and
Elkinism is spreading and the De
mocrats should lead in the reform
movement. With Mr. Pattison to
the forefront in Philadelphia good
results are sure to follow. Ilolli
daysburg Standard.
The Democratic City Committee
of Philadelphia has made at least
one move in the direction of reform
by eliminating the Ryan Donnelly
gang from control and placing a
Democrat by the name of Pattison
at the head of the city organization.
Pattison has been repeatedly tested
and tried, and has always stood the
test against the corrupt temptations
of the city rings. Waynesburg
Messenger,
The action ofChas. P. Donnelly
in resigning the chairmanship of
the Democratic City Committee
and Executive Committee, and the
election of Ex-Governor Robert E.
Pattison to both places is pleasing
to the democracy of the state, and
with two such men as Creasy and
Pattison as state and city leaders,
there is no reason why the Demo
cratic party in this state should not
make the fight of its life. Both men
have the confidence of the voters,
and both have proven themselves
vorthyofit. Benton Argus.
Donnelly is out and Pattison is
in, the latter with a reputation for
political and personal integrity that
makes him generally acceptable;
and the change will go a long way
toward inducing harmony and a
resolute effort at a sorely needed
reformation. Northumberland De
mocrat, The general disposition in Phila-
delphia should be to wait and see
what Ex Governor Pattison will do
with the Donnellv-Rvan organiza
tion, over which he has been invit
ed to preside, before pronouncing
tne task he has undertaken impos
sible. No one can believe that he
would lend the countenance of his
name and authority to a committee
that was to remain under Donnelly
and Ryan's control or devoted to the
same- treacherous purposes for which
they have employed it. In accept
ing the chairmanship he must have
expected to bring the organization
back into the service of Democracy,
and though it is not yet clear how
this is to be done, he should be
given the chance. Philadelphia
j imes.
It seems to us that if the Young
Democrats had been guided by the
proper spirit they would have with
held their fulmination until they as
certained the manner of organiza
tion Governor Pattison proposed to
give tne party. It is absurd to sup
pose he would co-operate with a
jobbing or disloyal element. Pitts
burg J'ost,
The appearance of Ex-Governor
Pattison as a' force in Pennsylvania
politics is giving the Quay machine
a deal of concern. The ex-governor's
acceptance of the duty of re
organizing, on a plane of honesty
and fidelity to public duty, the
Philadelphia Democracy is taken by
the Republican press as a danger
signal, and they are the firsts to see
probabilities ot the exgovernor be
ing nominated for a third term next
year. Mr. Pattison is just uow the
most available man to fight the
machine. Meadville Democrat.
The Donnelleys and the Ryans
must go to the rear. They must
not only abdicate leadership but
they must be eliminated entirely as

far as their influence over the party
is concerned. The only question at
issue is how shall the object be ac

every party should recognize as law,
The confidence in Ex-Governor
Pattison's ability and integrity cre
ates the feeling that he will be able
to reorganize the Philadelphia
Democracy and make it what it pre
tends to be rather than an annex to
the Quay-Ashbridge machine. If
his efforts are thwarted by means of

selling is to dispose of all surplus seasonable merchan
dise, and to that end we have carefully gone through
each section and so reduced prices that there can be no
mistake about the bargain nature of the occasion. Of
course, a week of such selling, at such prices, means a
present money loss, but what matters that when we
gain a two-fold object : We clear our shelves for the
autumn stocks, and at the same time give our public a
buying benefit that they will appreciate. Just a short
