HIS SERVICES TO THE BOSS Starting Out a an Independent, Ho Deserts Cause of Reform to Fol low and Uphold the Machine. ' HOW HE WAS MADE JUDGE While on the Bench He Edits Quay's Book, Defends the Ring Chief and Condones His Abuse of Honest Citizens. ITORY ALL VOTERS 8HOULD READ Special Correspondence. Philadelphia, Sept. 15. It Is the privilege and duly of American clti oii8 to bo accurately Informed concern ing the hlHtory, character and evident purpose of those who come before them oh candidates for public office. There never ban been presented as an aspir ant for the governorship of this mate a man ho little known beyond his home limit as Samuel W. 1'ennypacker. It is proposed herein to make a faithful transcript of the record, that every vot er may read for himself. For more than forty years Pennsylvania has been the scene of a contest unknown else where, a battle for Individual and con scientious freedom of thought and ac tion anainst machine despotism; for clean politics ngaiust denriidlfiK and corrupt methods; for honest, economi cal and etlicient administrative and legislative methods, uciiinst the de bauchery of political organizations anil the prostitution of ofllcml power to tho promotion of selfish personal ends. Against the Machine in 1332. In 1S77, In Hiilad-lphla and Pitts burg, there were Biicceaslul movements against corrupt bosslsm. A little later this extended throughout tun state, re sulting in 1!81 In the defeat of a machine-selected candidate for the United States senate, and in 1!S2 in the elec tion of a reform Democratic governor. The revolt against C'umcroiiism and Quayism that year was participated in by a large number of the best men in the Republican party. It appealed to the highest Instincts of unselfish pa triotism. In Philadelphia, Samuel W. Penny packer was one of a group of professional men who heartily sustain ed the new declaration of Independence adopted by the Independent Republi can State Convention, which arraigned the Cameron-Quay machine for its hinh crimes nnd misdemeanors against tho people. The action taken was an Inspiration to those who believed in true American principles. Mr. 1'enny packer had been so zealous lu this work that he had been made secretary of the Civil Service Reform Associa tion. Ills lawpartner, the late S. C. Holllngswortli, Ksq., , was likewiso earnest In the cauwe ol political purity. Mr. Pennypncker was made a member of the Independent Republican State Committee, and become an independent candidate for tho legislature, against a notorious tool of the machine, being endorsed by the Democrats and the Re form Committee of One Hundred. Ho made an active canvass and was in full sympathy with everythlngthnt was raid and done in aid of the cause of political freedom and righteousness, lie was one of the vice presidents at the great Independent Republican Ranlication meeting, at which Its candidate for gov ernor, Hon. John Stewart, made tho most brilliant speech of his life, his rinsing words bearing a striking par allel to the situation today. He said: History of a Former Crime. "Wo are opposed to tho so-called regularity of the work of the Harris burg convention, the nomination of Gen. Reaver and his associates, be cause it owes Its existence not to popu lar choice, but Imj the individual pref erence of one autocratic senator. His by creation, it represents his power, aud Its success would bo bis personal and political vindication, nnd would re sult in the deeper debasement and servitude of the Republican organiza tion. The convention might have been dispensed with on the ground of econ omy. The ticket wns shaped and fash ioned by Mr. Cameron. It was selected to suit his purposo, to strengthen his rule and its election would be his vin dication. Are you prepared for that? (Cries of "NorN'oP') "Twice before, lien. Reaver sought this nomination and failed because he did not look to the boss. He then turn ed to the latter, but It was a fatal day. At the Reimblican National Convention at Chicago, in 1SXU, he betrayed his constituents, attempting to enforce the unit rule against the will of the people of Pennsylvania. Ills active zeal in a political conspiracy deserved and re ceived the condemnation of the Ameri can people. He gained the favor of the prince, but he lost tho title to himself. He gained the alliance he sought at fearful cost his independence as a man and the forfeited confidence of the people. The nomination he has at last secured will fall to ashes in his hands. The empty promises of reform which have so often been made we denounce as mockery. The people of this com monwealth know by sad experience the enormous power developed through the abuse of political and oflicial privileges. They indignantly demand that this shall cease." He Echoes Hoyt'a Ringing Words. On November 3d, Mr. Pennypacker, with Mr. Stewnrt. Colonel McMichael and others, addressed a meeting at Oxford Hall, in his own district. Mr. Wharton Barker read tho memorable letter of Governor Iloyt, which appear ed that day, denouncing Cameronism and Quayism in tones which were heard throughout the nation. Every word of this historic indictment was neat-lily applauded by Mr. Pennypack er. Im us recall, rs vividly applying to the conditions of the hour, some of these burning sentences. Governor Hoyt said: "When standing room Is no longer allowed to the members of a political party, with a margin for self-respect, revolution is an appropriate remedy. T here Is an undeniable justification for your uprising. Its grounds are open and plain to the people. In the name or decency, and In behalf of my suc irjssor, I wish to emphasize the curse ot this whole business and sound a note 'f warning to the whole people. Peaeo and reform will never conio until the moral forces In politics you have or Kanlzed prevail. If their courage be added to their conviction, tho masses of voters will promptly rally to your standards, and aid you to an overflow ing suecesfi; and such la the duty of we voters of Pennsylvania." Hl Case Worse Than Beaver's. No Intelligent citizen can deny that the words of John Stewart and Henry M. Iloyt are as truthful and Just an ar raignment of the present senatorial boss as they wero of the despotic rjler of 20 years ago; that thy as jy.ly, forcibly and patriotically appiy to QuayiRtn as to Cameronism. There has been a change of maulers only; the same methods, Intensified anil even more corrupt, degrading and defiant, prevail. The rase of Pennypacker, in ieed. Is much worse llinn thnt of Heaver, as tho latter had a large meas ure of popular siin'iort, while the pres ent enndidntn of the machine wan ab solutely without f troimth, at home nnd elsewhere, and could not have secured the election ot ten dele; ates In the con vention on his own account. He was selected by tho senatorial ringmnster and his nomination was ilio result of naked corruption ntul the most shame less betrayal of public trust ever wit nessed In this state. History ban thus repented Itself, and onuht.toss will con tinue to do so. until the final chapter is recorded, on the night of November 4, 1902. How He Cot Upo.1 the Dcnch. Relapsing in'o obiu'.trity, Mr, lYnny paclii r was iiiineanl tu in t oini.vi.ou with public nt;r.)i6, ox'-opt us u mem ber of the boi'.rd of cd ' it .it ion, during the next six years; b:;l he bad, in soiu-j mysterious way, cull ivaunl tue lneiid slup of the K.'i'vaui who had passed his master and who Had become tho despotic m biter of poillic.il destinies in Pennsylvania. In Ine Iti'.ter pan of ISSH, Mr. Qany was at me nun of his power as the succes.st'nl national Re publican chairman, liis goings and comings were like a royal pite-inss. Ilis will was supreme at liairisimrg. and this state never wltii,!b. ed sm h exhibi tions of sycophancy. December n, six weeks alter the election of .Indue Mitchell to the supreme le-nch. his would-bo successor, Samuel W. Penny packer, was noted amongst tho impa tient crowd which dogged the heels of Mr. Quay, while visiting Philadelphia, a local paper stating that he was re garded as the "personal choice" of tho senator. "Cousin Sam" was a plodding member of the bar, who had been in practice more than 2U years without appearing in n notable case. HiJ was chlelly occupied with compiling court reports and decisions and mousing amongst the historical records of Penn sylvania, with a view to enrolling his family name In a place of honor. No one thought of him for a place on the bench; for tho prospective vacancy an other lawyer of prominence and ability was urged by tunny citizens, members of the bar and Influential politicians. Hut at the proper time, early in Jan uary, lSNit, anil at Mr. Quay's personal demand upon the governor, Mr. Penny packer was appointed. 'I o tho nmazed popular query: "Who is this Quaylte?" echo simply answered: "He's a Quay ite," and that was enough. Shows His Devotion to Quayism. Ten years later the long-time, dictator found himself outside I lie senatorial breastworks, repudiated and condemn ed by the people wnom lie had so deep ly discredited. 1U also uppeared as a defendant in the criminal court over which Judge Pennypacker, in his turn, presided every year. The Judicial friend of the prisoner could not have failed to observe that his ull-powerful patron was compelled to take refuge behind every possible technicality of the law to escape punishment on the charge of misusing tho public funds. That his sympathy was deeply aroused was evident, lie was prepared to pub licly demonstrate this feeling, and took early advantage of an opportunity to show devotion to a discredited ami baf fled political lender that would enkin dle lasting gratitude on his part, which might make a long-time dream of the governorship a reality. Thus, to the astonishment of friend and foe. Judge Pennypacker addressed himself to the extraordinary task of making an hero ic historic flguro of M. S. Quay, even placing him upon a pinnacle of fame eipial to tho greatest men this state has produced, and proudly point ing to him as "Pennsylvania's niout distinguished statesman." Risks All For His Master. There has been a misconception with regard to this matter, it having been widely stated that Judgo Penny put ker's defense of Air. Quay and einogy ot Quayism was only Incidental to a lit erary effort In exaltation of Pennsyl vania as n leading factor In the devel opment of our national life. Let us have tho facts clearly set forth, in chronological order. It will then be seen bow this aspirant for the highest ollice in the gift of the people of Penn sylvania has demeaned himself; derid ed just public criticism; been an ac cessory in the attempted perversion of political history; set a vicious exam ple to the virtuous youth of tho com monwealth, through holding aloft for their emulation one who has earned t he execration of honest and patriotic citi zens, and who has thus indissolubly linked bis own literary, professional and political fortunes with tho one man who has done more to degrade and corrupt Pennsylvania politics than any other who ever lived. Notwithstanding all the promises of tho Reimblican state conventions of .1895, lS'.iti, 1 S:7 and 1SU8, the subse quent legislative sessions grew worso and worse in their utter disregard of public decency, until tho shameful cli max of 1901, when a flame of indigna tion arose from every virtuous fire side. The carnival of corruption at tendant upon and following the re election, of Mr. Quay, exceeded any thing in the annals of tho common wealth. While tho people of all classes, and irrespective of party, were de nouncing the crimes committed; while tho press was ringing with shameful exposures; while the tide of revolt was rising higher and higher, Samuel W. Pennypacker, in grateful acknowledg ment of wnat he had received as a ben eficiary of Quayism, and eagerly look ing forward for the bestowal of new aud higher favor, while holding an honored place upon the' bench, and pre tending strict adherence to tho invio lable unwritten law of judicial separa tion from partisan affairs and the sel fish schemes of political intriguers, was engaged in confidential co-operation with tho head-centre of the Republican machine, in a most unworthy, unfair, unpatriotic nnd unjust attempt to em balm him as ono of the master minds and purest patriots in American his tory. Mr. Quay's Swing Around the Circle. So desperate was his situation in tho fall of liiUO, Mr. Quay, fearful of the return of another legislature which would put the final seal of condemna tion upon his unhnllowed ambition, for the first time in his life took to tho stump and made a series of alleged speeches. Upon many occasions he had the audacity to declare that he was not a candidate for re-election, of his own wishes, or through Ills own ac tion. In a score or more of public ap pearances he did not make more than Six deliverances of any length or dig nity. The rest of the time ho merely showed himself and begged off, on the ground of his well known "indisposi tion." When he did speak ho almost uniformly indulged in sarcastic abuse of those Republican voters who re fused to regard Quayism as synony mous with Republicanism, or bitterly denounced tho conscientious efforts of good citizens to wipe out the political evils of our time. The future historian who stumbles over these remarkable outbreaks of a chastised political mis creant, JuBtly smarting under thu Jasa of public criticism, will regard with amazement tho silly words of effusive commendation with which they are set forth by tho editor of "Pennsylvania Polities." the volume In hand, Samuel W. Pennypacker, whose eulogistic In troduction Is dated Apill 2G, 1901. Hard Sledding to Make History. Tho annals of American history may ho searched In vain for such a travesty upon sluiesninnship and literature. Tho book lovers 20(1 pages,, nearly two thirds of ft being white paper, the publisher bitterly complaining to tills day thnt ho wns made the helpless vic tim of a valn-glorlous attempt Bt "pad ding." The printers reveled In the "fnttert" take of the year, 'niere are twen" three lines of plea typo to a page nnd nearly one-third of tho pages arp blank. Lenvlng out the senseless repetitions, anologles fox persistent at tacks of "indisposition, the references to a mythical medical adviser, supposed to bo the "wet goods" commissary of the caravan; the continuous ladling out of "soft soap," for the benefit of local communities, nnd this great book of a f:rent mnn's grentest rfforts could read ly be placed within the covers of an or dinary political pamphlet. An up-to-dnte newspaper condenser would put the whole of it, worth even temporary preservation, within a half dozen col umns, nnd yet this, barring the poly- f!lot tariff speech nf 1S93, contributed iy generous friends. In quantities to suit. Is to be the solo contribution of "Pennsylvania's most distinguished statesman" to American history! May the fates preserve us from another llko it! I,ct us tape a brief look nt some of the contents of this wonderful Joint product Ion of M. S. Quay and S. W. Pennypacker, the latter having rend the flnnl proofs nnd given the pic turesque editorial finishing touches. Editor. Pennypacker's Fulsome Praise. In his Introduction over his own sig nature Kditor 1'ennypacker, referring to notable men of tho past, Penn, Dick inson, Riuenhouse, Itlnney, West, 1 1.. ... I - it l i mt'uuu tiuu cuevrnr, in n yi t'liuiiuary I burst of admiration, says: "Tho capacity shown by Mr. Quay for the organization and direction of men in masses in the important field of statecraft, with a view to the ac complishment of those ends for which human Foeiety is instituted, has rarely, if ever, been equalled in American poli tics, and approaches genius. The cavil which has followed him, the tempor ary effusion of unhappv Inelliciency, Is, In its final analysis, but further evi dence of his rejjl greatness." In this fineiy wrought Fneer tho critics of Quayism, who certainly re present an overwhelming majority of tho people of Pennsylvania, will clearly perceive the contempt with which they aro regarded by Judge Pennypacker. who is completely lost In adoration of the "genius" of one who Is a past master in the black art of political degradation, Further, we read: "Mankind is always benefitted by the opportunity to closely inspect t tin work of its masters in thought in every line of human effort. Tho speeches of Mr. Quay in that campaign were so re markable for their breadth of view, for their freedom from asperity, for tho evidence they pave of literary research and skill, that 4t has been thought wise, for the credit of the state, of which he is tho foremost 'representa tive, and for the instruction of citizens of other stales, who may be misin formed as to his personality and ac complishments, to preserve tlirn perm anently." Now we will pick some choice nug gets from this flashing Intellectual mine, the possessor of which Is so highly praised as a "master in thought.'' Masterpieces of Falsehood. Mr. Quay made bis debut as a po litical orator at West Chester, where, with a sober fuce, ho told an incredu lous nuuicnce that he was not a candi date for the seuatorship: that the Re publican Stato Convention "insisted upon the presentation of my candi dacy to the people and I submitted with some reluctance to their judgment. To me that high office is no longer attrac tive." After the tremendous fight Mr. Quay had made lor re-election and vin dication ami was then making, such a statement was monumental in its au dacity. Hut Mr. Pennypacker pretends to accept It as the solemn truth. There in he siiows nt the first step his loyulty to 'Quayism. In this speech Mr. Quay referring to baHot reform, made his famous propo sition that the friends of an honest ballot might frame "any fair statute which is a manifest Improvement over the present one, and the Republican or ganization will aid In its passage, and this nctjon will, 1 have no doubt, bo ap proved by tho executive, who sits be side mo. The manner in which this promise was dealt with Is part of re cent history. No honest attempt was made to keep it; and elsewuere, at Al toona, Mr. Quay frankly acknowledged that all tho boasted reform measures of previous sessions had been "burled." Just so, nnd by orders of the machine. Pennypacker's Friends "Knaves and Fools." At Harrisburg, Mr. Quay, referring to some prominent Republicans citi zens who have been misled into the Pennypacker trap for political inno cents, said: "These are the men who make reform impossible. When false apostles of reform erect altars where knaves, ministers and fools kneel, as in Pennsylvania at present, progress and reform are alike retarded." To characterize some of his most effusive friends as knaves and fools, evidently impressed Judge Pennypacker as "breadth of view," as "speech free from nsperity." At Huntingdon, Mr. Quay made this gentle and refined allusion to the com bination of honest men against his cor rupt machine, "You have a mule ticket, made up of otie Republican and one Democrat. Tho alliance seems Illicit and unnatural." Further polite refer ence was mado to the gentlemen meet ing weekly in Philadelphia, '"in illicit intercourse with the Democratic par ty." Again at Altoona, Mr. Quay thus paid his respects to Mr. Pennypacker and his former associates in the Civil Ser vice Reform Association, "Reform is a catching cry. It cozens alike babes, sucklings and grown men. It is solac ing to self-love and vanity to pro claim the short-comings of the world, for this is an assertion of our super iority to common humanity and a pa rade of our perfection." At Lebanon, tho supporters of tho anti-machine legislative ticket were fiercely denounc ed as "political assassins," given to "stabbing In tho back." Coarse Abuse of Honest Men. At Phoenixville, Mr. fisay said that the friends of good govrrument "have raised a large amount of money to ex pend in your county nnd other pivotal points. They will bribe piously. They will bribe prayerfully. You can scarce ly say them nay. Tako their money; lay it carefully out of reach till after election." At other times and places Mr. Quay mado allusion to the Inde pendent Republicans and honest voters of Pennsylvania in this samo offensive spirit, for which his judicial admirer and euolglst has such large-minded ad miration. In winding up his swing around the circle,, in Philadelphia, he thus coarsely referred to the newspa pers and reformers generally: "They nave no argument except personal de traction and falsification and wanton defilement of the fair nuuip of our state. They have in common only per sonal malice and certain political mis eries. They are helpless even with the aid of the five subsidized newspapers of Philadelphia. I have no desire to flutter the cots of these soiled doves of Pennsylvania Journalism. They wlr in and wire out at the heel of thelf charmer, everywhere slobbering venom In their slot. Of one of them, when intending to ronvey.the Idea of abso lute mendacity we sny of a man: 'Ho lies like tho Philadelphia Press." No doubt Judge Pennypacker Is ready to insist that this sweet-tempered allu sion to his Journalistic friends must be considered entirely nllowabl" under the circumstances; but there may bo a difference of opinion upon thai point. For Christians ard Worklngmen. In his speech in Philadelphia "Penn sylvania's mort distinguished st.it es- I man'1 essayed the part of a seer, and ' made t iis extraordinary declaration, which no doubt Ftrm-k his Judicial re : visor as wonderfully peaceful, some thing that should tiring to his support the religious world in general: "Christianity has failed in Asia in peaceful missionary ( flort. and if tho cross Is to prevail there It must bo pre ceded or accompanied by the battleilag. Ood, In his Infinite! wisdom, semis to have ordained that tho Bword shall open tho bloody rond for the coming of tho gospel of peace and love. The world cannot endure one-third Chris tian and two-ihlrds heathen. One or the other must perish." For the son ot a Presbyterian minister, this sounds rather "strenuous." Hut Mr. Quay squares the account by thus extending tho right hand of fellowship to his Christianized Ah Sin. Standing on the same platform, a few months later, re reiving the congratulations of his friends upon having finally bought his way through the Pennsylvania legisla ture, he Baid: "We should respect China for what she has been and sym pathize with her in her trials, and look forward with bone to her future nnd the fulfillment of her mission." Kvi dently Judge Pennvpacker believes thnt consistency Is tho refuge of weak lhlnds. He has unbounded admiration for tho pollthlan who can skin tho cat with neatness and dispatch. Pennypacker's Crowning Offense. Having thus set forth Mr. Quay as a preat man, tho Judge followed up his timely work, doubtless a labor of love, a few months later, by writing his cele brated reply to a New Kngland maga zine article which scatlfiugly showed up Quayism and what it stands for. Apparently encouraged by what ho had already done, he went further and stooped lower In his defense of Mr. Quay and his methods, heapine upon him words of praise, utterly without warrant, reflecting upon his own Intel ligence and wounding the pride of self respectmc citi'eiiB of his own stnte. He declared that Pennsylvania "had no lils worthy of mention," and. forgetful alike of what ho had done nnd was do ing, he Fiid it was not. for him "to express nn opinion concerning Mr. Quay's political methods or principles." and he then proceeded to speak of him in extravagant terms, concluding: "Ilis fame is assured as a statesman who deserves well of his country." He Gets His Reward- The logical outcome of all this was the naming of this pretentious, yet in consistent, and weak creation of Quay ism, as its candidate for the highest office in the state, though without the imperious orders of our political Cae sar, Judge 1'ennypacker would have been entirely unheard of in the con vention. There was no popular demand for his nomination, no suggestion from the press or any other source, not a I word from the bar nor the associate Judiciary, nor from politicians of high or low degree, that he should be chosen for this post of honor aud great re sponsibility. As In 1SS0, so in 19u2. ho wns the sole choice of his political creator. The manifest choice of the Republi can state convention publicly and in dignantly doclnred thnt two-score dele gates were taken from him by foul means, nnd the Philadelphia Inquirer, tho most stalwart Quay paper In tho state, openly and furiously denounced this disgraceful "theft of delegass' nnd corrupt betrayal of trust. Nothing like it wns ever known In the history of Penney Ivnnla. All the facts were widely proclaimed. There could be no concealment of them. They were sim ply brazenly ignored, even by Jud re Pennypacker himself, who deliberately accepted this besmirched nomination, without a word of protest, without a word of reproof for the odious methods pursued. Thus this candidate of t ho Quay machine stands before the people of Pennsylvania today. This terrible fact cannot be wiped out. ex plained away nor covered up. It shows why Mr. Quay is willing to put such pomnMe trust nnd confidence In his candidate. He is satisfied that his sel fish interests will be safe in the keeping of his own creation. I -His Defiance of Public Opinion. The day he left the bench. Judge Pennypacker, far from repudiating. apologizing for or asking public pardon for what he had done, so greatly to his own discredit and to the amazement and grief of his sincere friends, to tho bitter disappointment of thoso who i: their ignorance and faith had believed and expected better things, defiantly repeated, added to, intensified and em phasized his expressions of admiration for and supreme confidence in Mr. Quay. ' He manifested anew his disre gard for tho patriotic sensibilities of his long shamed and long suffering fellow citizens. Ho boldly held up be fore them his title papers to the first place in the trust and confidence irf the political tyrant of the hour in this state, who permits no divided alle giance on the part of those whom ho selects to do his .bidding, l.et tho straight facts ,bo considered. Let tho duty of the hour be deeply Impressed upon every self-respecting voter who desires to preserve the honor of tho eoninir wealth, protect the virtue and maintain the rights of all its people. Spread tho truth. Kach Issue of this paper, from now until election, should bo read by as many fair-minded Republicans as possible. Hand it around courteously. The revolt against organized public robbery is growing stronger every day. Help It along. The Quay machine is hard pushed lor money this yenr, and the lich Re publicanB are not conimg down with the cash as usual. One prominent member of tho Philadelphia Union league, who is earnestly supporting Governor Pattlson and the whole Dem ocratic state ticket, sarcastically ob served that he would act in accord ance with tho suggestion of tho beg ging circular received and contribute "according to inclination." His check will not bo made payable to tho order of tho boss this time, aud" lie has plenty of company. rUIJLIC SALE OF 140 Acres Limestone Farm Land.
