WM11INATED
A Boss-Selectcd Candidate With
out Popular Support.
BACKED BY THE MACHINE
Elkln Thrown Aside and Forty-one
Delegate Taken From Him by
Order of Cuay.
OPEN CIIARGES OF BRIBERY
The Story of a Political Crime a
Told by Quay's Own
Diagueted Friends.
REPUBLICANS UNDER THE LASH
The odious and disgraceful records
of political boKslam and corruption In
Pennsylvania may be searched In vain
for a parallel to the shameful atory of
the nomination of Samuel W. Penny
packer as the so-called Republican
candidate for governor. This recent
history will not . soon be forgotten.
The name of tho machine candidate
was not mentioned until a short limn
before tho llarrlaburg convention. At
Quay's orders Durham deserted hla
friend, Attorney General Elkln, who
was making a most successful canvass
for tho nomination, and turned In over
eighty delegntes from I'hlladelphla
for l'ennypaeker. At the sanio tlmo
Elkln waa ordered out of the fight.
He publicly refused to he thrown asldo
and challenged Pennypacker to a con
test In the counties yet to bo heard
from. In a number of places the lines
were thus drawn and In every In
stance, despite all the resources of tho
Quay machine, tho hard work of Ills
federal ofllce-holders and the corrupt
use of money, hla choice waa beaten.
Apparently, tho Republican voters
taking part In the primaries were
overwhelmingly fur Elkln. When the
convention met Quay bull-dozed
everything and everybody, taking
forty-one pledged delegates from El
kln, and thus forced the unpopular
nomination of the candidate of his
own choice. Herein la given dally
extracts from tho editorial columns of
the I'hlladelphla Inquirer, the most
stalwart machine and Quay paper In
the state, during tho days Immediate
ly preceding the convention:
Republicans Under the Lash.
"Tho Republicans of Pennsylvania
ere today tinder tho Insh of benator
Quay. In various counties Elkln and
Watres have met and fought it out, and
In every Instance Elkln has won by
a direct veto of the people. Everything
was going smoothly, when suddenly
Senator Quay broke away and plung hI
Ills party into confusion. It was an
outrageous thing to do. Pennsylvania
Republicans are today under the lash.
Tho sentiment of the people must bo
throttled. Tho Quay orders are out
to lino up for tho Quay candidate. It
is not what the people want, but what
Juay wants, and he Is going to Harris
burg himself to lay violent hands upon
the convention.
Quay's Method of Making Candidates.
"Elkin has been making his canvass
before the people. Is Quay appealing
to tho people? Hy no means. It is
easy enough to give orders, but some
times the people decline to take them,
and we shall see whether the people or
tho orders of Senator Quay are going
to prevail in tho convention. The In
quirer has great faith in the people;
apparently Senator Quay has lost faith
In them. There is u splendid oppor
tunity for tho people tu make them
selves heard and to win the fight for
fair play."
The People and the Governorship.
"The one question before the Re
publican party of Pennsylvania to-day
Is whether the people themselves shall
name a candidate for governor, or
whether a single Individual shall dic
tate one. majority rule or one-man
dictation that la the question before
the Republican voter3 of Pennsylvania
today.''
Quay's Political Crime.
" 'I refuse to be ordered out, bartered
out or forced out.' said Elkin. He will
not withdraw. He has been gaining in
strength since Quay committed his po
litical crime. It does not seem to be
Mr. Quay's way to appeal to tho peo
ple this year."
Give the People Their Way.
"Some years ago the popular choice
of the Republicans of Pennsylvania for
Kovernor was General Hastings. Sena
tor Quay insisted unon taking the con
vention by tho throat and nominating
Delamater. The result is history. The
people could not be controlled. They
made up their minds there had not
been fair play, and Paitlson was elected
governor. History repeats itself some
times." Trying to Bribe Delegates.
"The Inquirer is lu possession of
evidence In several cases, showing at
tempts to bribe Elkin delegates. The
coming convention must be conducted
In all fairness, or tho result may bo
disastrous."
Elkin' Appeal For Fair Play.
"Elkln Is making a grand fight for
fair play against the power of federal
ollice-holders und ring rule. Here is
lsat he says: 'Under the circum
stances, I would be lacking in a proper
appreciation of the duties of citizenship
if 1 failed in standing for a principle
that is dear to every Pennsylvania
heart; that is to say, that each man
shall have a fair chance in an open
field before the people on every ques
tion in which the public has an in
terest." "
Desperate Work of Boodler.
"It is Philadelphia and boodle
Rainst Elkln. We do not believe a
eltiRle dolegato can be bribed, bought
r stolen. The fight r gainst him is not
that of the people, but cash offers of
desperate politicians, who seek to
strangle the people, the work of fed
ral office-holders. Quay has tried to
tut the throat of tho best friend he
ver had. He has demanded that Re
publican leaders join hands in this
'rime. It would be ruinous for them
to do BO."
The Dollar Mark of Infamy.
. ''Any Instructed doletrate who re
fuses to voto for Elkln will have the
dollar mark of infamy on hla brow. All
orU of debauchery Is bolnjf attempted.
One Hchnylklll county donate haa
honn offered $10,000 and a pond position
thrown In. A common wen It h stranded
or bought would Invite iW'sdnirtlon."
The Crime Consummated.
On tho morning of tlio convention
the Inquirer's llarrlHliurg special tele-
pram Bald:
"The ntraltn to which Quay wai
driven wna shown by the direct utenl
of four delegates by the rdnte cntii-
niitteo, neiniK under hla onlTs. two
Hchnylklll men were offered IS.nin)
each, Hlid refused to tak It, so they
Were thrown out. It wna brutally
done; but, as Senator I'cnrose said,
the votes were, needed and they had
to bo taken."
Forty-one Delegates Taken,
Tho day following tho convention
f!ie Inquirer' Harrlsbnrg corroupond
out reported Elkin aa openly declaring
to hla friends that. "41 delegates,
pledged and elected," had been taken
froi.i him.
THE BLACK-JACK PARTY
Graphic Account of the Mobbing of
Union Men In Philadelphia An
Object Lessen of Quayism.
Tho Quay machine literary bureau
Is tryln;? to create a fal 10 Impression
In tho public mind concerning the re
cent outrageous attack on the Union
pnrty convention In Philadelphia, For
cible expression of what ho thinks of
the raid of tho Qur.y mob Is given by
Harry S. Paul, chnlrnian of the Alle
gheny organization, and head of the
Western Pennsylvania delegations, In
a letter rwulved by Stato Chairman
Thomas L. Hicks. He vividly do
scribes Incidents of the affair which
came to bis notice.
Mr. Paul Is a prominent business
man of Pittsburg. He declares that
tho riotous attack was one of the
greatest crlmlnat outrages in the his
tory of Pennsylvania politics, and will
cost tho Republican machine ticket
many thousand votes. Hla letter In
part follows:
Aa I looked upon tho Union party as
semblage, just before the rioters broke
in, I saw an unusually tine body of re
spectable, law-abiding Republican bus
iness men, path' red from all parts of
the conmionweali ii, at least live-sixths
of whom had never before sat In a po
litical stale convention, and who were
earnestly desirous of discharging tho
duty committed to them by their fel
low citizens and oiiotltuents.
As If Jail Doors Had Opened.
After the mob appeared all was
changed. Then in the portions of tho
hall occupied by its members could be
seen only brutal, criminal faces, bear
ing the marks of vice all over them,
and the thought occurred that Moya
liicnsing and the Eastern Penitentiary
had opened their doors and given a
day's holiday to several hundred of
their inmates for the sole purpose of
advancing tho interests of Quayism,
Penro.seism and Pennypackerism in
this commonwealth.
The impression was deepened by the
Bight of revolvers bulging from the hip
iiockets of roitio of the mob, nnd of
billies and knives in the possession of
others, some of the lntter having been
used in the attmk upon the hall.
The sight of Quayism, Penroselsm
and Pennypackerism thus nakedly un
masked was worth a thousand cam
paign speeches and lO.oeo newspaper
articles, and its effect upon the de
cent citizens who beheld it and who
would not have believed that such
things were poasiine otherwise was in
calculable. Tho result, as I personally know, was
the instant conversion of twenty dele
gates holding legal certificates, who in
tended to oppose t attison s nomina
tion, and some of whom proposed to
vote for l'ennypaeker, to tho support
of Pattison nnd this number fell short
of all so converted.
Signed Statement By Clearfield Dele
gates. Relieving It their duty to enlighten
a3 many voters as possible as to the
attack of 200 armed Quay thugs on the
recent Union party convention In Phil
adelphia, Clearfield county's five dele
gates have united in a signed state
ment setting forth the facts.
These delegates are Frank W. Rar
ratt, real estate agent and lumber
dealer; Jacob Rurge, lumberman; Cas
ner J. Stull, policeman; P. L. Showers,
dentlnt, and John E. Harder, merchant,
all reputable men. When they went
to tho convention they were not for
Pattison, but their experience In the
riot quickly converted them.
After describing in detail how the
mob led by Sheehan broke up tho con
vention, they go on to say:
We want to say that we have always
been Republicans, but of late years,
since the Quay machine has become a
public stench to the nostrils of the peo
ple of Pennsylvania, wo have been In
dependent Republicans. We believe in
the doctrines of Roosevelt and the Re
publican party.
We cannot vote for or support Judge
Pennvnacker. because ho is being held
up as a shield in front of the dirty ma
chine, which has no more principle or
any better standing in the great com
monwealth than those criminals which
were hired by the machine to break
into the Union party convention on the
3d day of September, 1902.
Wo had heard of the disgraceful and
shameless method employed by the
machine at their conventions, in the
lato legislature, and at many of tho
election districts in Philadelphia and
Pittsburg, but we had never seen one
in full bloom until we witnessed the
dlspraeeul riot in Musical Fund Hall.
We were not committed to any candi
date when we left Clearfield for the
convention. We uad not been Instruct
ed, neither had we signed any agree
ment to support any particular candi
date, but our minds were soon made
up when we saw a machine mob In con
trol of a convention, and saw the char
acter of tho criminals employed by the
machine to carry out its designs, even
at the cost of murder, if necessary.
Theire are our observations, end we
believe It Is our duty as business men
of this great stato of Pennsylvania to
support, voto for and work to the best
of our nbilitv for tho election of Hon.
Robert E. Pattison for governor of
Pennsylvania, and to employ every
honorable means possible to elect good
pien to sunersedo the disreputable and
disgraceful gang of machine boodlers
now In charge of the affulrs of our
state,
Elkln'8 friends are not shedding any
'asB the exposure of Tennypackor
as an aDject tool of the boss. They
believe In open, manly fighting, and
have no use for sneaks and pharasees.
Thousands of them will be tnMQC on
election day.

(low the State Has Been Dis
honored. AN ERA OF CORRUPTION
Fact Stated By the Leading Republi
can Paper, When It Told
the Truth.
THE DUTY OF HONEST MEN
Quayism A Seen By the Philadelphia
Pre Before Pennypacker
ism Blinded It.
LET ALL FREE VOTERS READ
There have been many queer things
in Pennsylvania politics, but the back
sliding of tho Philadelphia PreBs, un
der the singular influence of Penny
packerism, furnlahe a chapter of
Journalistic weakness and Inconsist
ency that has no counterpart. Our
misguided contemporary can never
wlpo out tho commendable record of
many years' vigorous hostility to
Quayism and all that it stands for. It
told the truth in those days, as it Is
now trying to hide It. It stood with
the people against their enemies. It
had no fellowship with an 'organized
band of political highwaymen. It
fought bravely for civic righteousness
and giMxl government. It turned on
tho light fearlessly. What it said thon
Is even more apt and forcible now.
We give herewith some extracts from
the editorial columns of tho Press
during the senatorial campaign of
1900, when Mr. Quay was making such
a desperate fight for re-election and
the re-establishment of his power for
the rebuilding and strengthening of
his broken political machine. Hero
Is what the Press said, pass it along
for your self-respecting Republican
neighbors to read:
Repudiate Fraudulent Nominations.
(July 18.)
"The people have shown more than
once that they want fair play and de
cent politics. They are tired of the
dictatlou and corruption of the ma
th i no."
(July 27.)
"Tho timo has come in Pennsylvania
when every species of machine election
crime must end. Nominations made
by fraud at tho primaries are not enti
tled to respect or support, and will
have neither from the honest Republi
cans of the state. Tho party has been
dishonored too much by such methods."
A Combination Corrupt and Criminal.
Referring to tho turning down of
faithful Republican members of tho
legislature, by orders of the Quay ma
chine, the Press, July 2!, snld:
"What do the decent citizens of Phil
adelphia say to this? Are they to per
mit those who served them to bo sacri
ficed on that account? Do tney propose
that a combination of all that is cor
rupt and criminal In our politics, of
the black-mailers and ballot thieves,
Hhall control the party nominations and
own tho representatives of a free city
In the legislature? This is the issue
that Is forced upon them."
Tho People Or the Boss:.
(August 2.)
"Tho machine Is desperate. It will
go to any lengths to retrieve itself for
the losses it has sustained. Voters
should not be led astray by any side
issues or grand-stand plays. The real
issues to be settled are Quay or anti
Quay, machine domination or individ
ual independence, the people or tne
bosses."
No Better Than Highwaymen.
(August 3.)
"Political thievery is just as con
temptible and debasing, nnd just aa
amenable to law, as tho ordinary
scoundrellsm thnt relieves a man of hla
pocket book, or holds un tne way
farer on the highway under cover of
the night."
"Quay' Doom Sealed."
(August?.)
"It will be a happy day for Pennsyl
vania when it takes its place along
with Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Iowa and other Republican states,
which are free from bossism and where
merit nnd not subserviency to a boss
determines who shall represent the
people."
There Must Be a Clean Sweep.
"The outlook is most cheering to
Pennsylvania reformers, but. Quay has
around him a gang that is worse than
he. There must be a clean sweep. Not
only Quay, but Quayism must be beat
en, the machine broken up and Its
power destroyed."
Yet Pennypacker Is Quay' Own.
(August 15.)
"After four years of Stone the peo
plo of Pennsylvania will surely not be
willing to endure another Quay ma
chine governor."
The Duty of True Republicans.
(August 30.)
"Fusion is the last resort of life-long
Republicans who refuse to be defraud
ed and disfranchised by a corrupt fac
tion. The Quay machine has been en
deavoring systematically to disfran
ise and read out of tho party those
Republicans who have refused to ac
cept as tho voice of their political con
science the mandates of a few potty,
discredited bosses, who are posing as
the Republican organization of Penn
sylvania. Hut all the beating of tom
toms and cries of Irregularity that ma
chine organs and machine bosses can
encourage cannot drive this class of
truo Republicans from their allegiance,
or from their attempts to overthrow
the corrupt and conscienceless handful
of bosses who have grown rich on the
spoils of ofllee, and who seek still fur
ther to fasten themselves upon the
party for personal gain."
"Nomination Made By Crime."
(September 13.)
"No candidate for tho legislature
nominated by means of fraud and ter
rorism practiced by police and other
ofilce-holders, Mider the direction of
the machine, a eutltled to tho resnect
and support of Republican voters as
candidate of the Republican party.
Every nomination so made la an out
rage and a disgrace which all who earo
for the good name of the party must
unite to repudiate. Quayism has de
bauched the politics of the state aud
must be wiped out."
Honest Election Law a 8uprems liiue
(Heptomber 21.)
"Recent exposures of election crimes
have mnde honest election laws the su
premo Isone in coming legislation. It
is an iasue upon which men will not
divide on party lines. The self-respect
and common honesty of the community
are arrayed ennlnst the lawless forces
of machine corruption. Every honest
Republican and every honeRt Democrat
can unite to tiecure a common result
necessary for the honor of the city and
the state, nnd the rights of the people
themselves,"
How About Pennypacker?
(.September 23.)
"No Romibllcnn Is under obligations
to respect e nomination made by crime
and no really honest Republican will."
Enemies of Ballot Reform.
(October 3.)
"At every session of tho legislature
for eight years an earnest attempt has
been made to change tho form of bal
lot and simplify it, nnd In every In
stance it has been defeated by the op
position of members who were under
the control of Quay and membera in
its favor were defeated for renomina
tion." Quayism Must Be Wiped Out.
(October 23.)
"Quay will not plague us much long
er, but the fight against the machine
which bears his name must not pause
an instant until that machine is brok
en. Its members routed and Its power
gone forever. If thp people antl not the
machine ate to rule in Pennsylvania
they must secure an honest ballot and
fair count."
WILL DO A3 HE DID BEFORE.
In his great speech at Carlisle ex
Governor Pattison said:
"From a rereading standpoint of the
events of eight years of administra
tion I have not one line or ono act ol
that administration to change. It
elected by the suffrages of my fellow
citizens I will do over again Just what
I did before. During my first period
I was compelled to veto over one-third
of tho legislation enacted because of
its iniquity and Us unconstitutionality.
During the second period about the
same percentage of vetoes was neces
sary. They never suceeded in passing
a bill over my veto, except In one In
stance, and they've been heartily
ashamed of that ever since."
Loot Equal One-Half the Taxes.
Here are a lew paragraphs picked
from the Pattison speech at Carlisle:
In the lat legislative session a Unit
ed Stales suiiulorsliip was literally
auctioned oil' to the highest, bidder. You
don't need to take my word for it. You
have ihu word of prominent and re
liable members ot the Republican
party.
The public franchises issued by the
machine to its members, for which an
offer of $2,500,0110 from John Wana
maker was rejected, have been con
verted into the assets of a syndicate,
whose stock, according to tho ratings
of the Philadelphia Exchange, is vul
ued at $li,c,00,000.
Do you know what $6,000,000 means?
It represents half the total expenses of
tho state government for a year. If
that stun had been turned into the
state treasury, where it belongs, In
stead of into the pockets of the machine
favorites, tho people of Pennsylvania
could have been relieved of one-half
of the taxation for state purposes this
year. Or, suppose it had been devoted
to good roads. It would have meant
$130 for every square milo in tho
state, or an average of nearly $100,000
to each of tho 67 counties.
Guthrie's Sledge-Hammer Blows.
Candidate Guthrie was at his best at
Carlisle. Following are some of his
declarations which provoked great ap
plause: Don't be deceived by men who, start
ing out In the cause of good govern
ment, have grown weary. In every
great movement there are those who go
out with the van, but soon fall to tho
rear with the slaves.
The dominant machine lives by trick
ery, gains power by ballot fraud and
uses that power to make money for its
adherents.
No man ever stole an office for a
good purpose.
Tho worst charges against tho ma
chine have never been denied. They
cannot bo denied.
When a man occupying a private
trust uses tho money of others in
stock speculations tho law calls him an
embezzler and sends him to a felon's
cell. Yet wo see today men holding
high public offices converting tho prop
erty of the people Into franchises for
themselves und their associates.
Tho machine has been promising bal
lot reform since 1895. If tho boss in
Philadelphia were to issue the order,
every illegal name on the padded regis
try list would disappear.
If such an outrage as the assault on
the Union party state convention were
to bo perpetrated in Russia, the man
hood of the civilized world would cry
out against it.
The riotous raid on the Union party
convention In Philadelphia was a
back-breaking blunder. The mendac
ity of the desperate machine never waa
more vividly shown than In Its stupid
attempts to lie itself out of this dis
graceful affair. The absurd state
ments sent forth are too much for hon
est newspaper proprietors; hence their
general refusal to print tho falso ac
count. The fact is the people would
scarcely believe the complete story of
criminal doings that might be told.
And this was but tho beginning.
These outlaws are planning still worse
things. But the end of their wicked
work Is near.
One hundred thousand Independent
Republican votes for Pattison is con
sidered a low estimate at this hour and
the rebellion against Quayism is grow
ing stronger every day. Spread the
facts. See that your Republican neigh
bor reads the story of Pennypacker'
service to the boss. It shows why he
was picked out to fool the people. Cut
tke game won't work. Thu mask has
been tors off and cannot be replaced.
