A xtr ,11 The Quay Candidate's Pittsburg Speech Reviewed. FACTS ABOUT THE RIPPER" How an Honest Reform Measure Wat Scuttled and tie Pe:ple Betrayed. RING RULE NOW RESTORED Ju'.ge Pencypacker's muidled ref erence to the Pittsburg charter legis lation of 1SK-1, In his recent sr?ch in that city, has been the subject of much criticism. The Q iay candidate for governor was speaking un.ler the auspices of the oil ring an! tried to make capital for tirrseif by express ing sympathy with then in the war made upon them. At the same time he condemned the efforts at reform legislation which were the Inspiration of the original movement for a new city charter. A systematic plan has been rursjfd to m!s!-?al the people of the state with regard to this matt-r. In Lis speech at Conce'.lsviile Hon. Gerg W. G-.i'.hrie, Democratic can 11 date for lieutenant governor, turcel on the licht as follows: At the last ssion of th Wislat'ir- there was a bill pas."-. which" Las be come knon throughout the whole na tion as the Ripper b:il. I war: to t you about that bill ard what ha? len done under it. The fjrt sucs:ion 'f any sruh bill came from tiarnsburg In 1S!"T. It was daccled t-fore the peo ple of Pittsburg as a bait and a prom ise of reiiff from one of the raol cor rupt, arbi'rary and brural r.r.rs that a muni ipai;t y ever f'iffred fr'm. In 'p it was ma ie th condition of the pasace of a law for the proper eov ernment of the city of Pittshurz. From when tbe t-eopi? ol Fitubare had ben made reaiy. ty promises of tr.e machine, tc beiieve that eovl iaws would be pa?ed for them, thf-y had bn in session aff-r si"a. sup pliant at the ft-et of this bo?s for ias that were n-verst.?.ry for tae rovrr.ru'r.t t'f their c.;y. anl seij,on after session they were f-nt lack disappointed . but in they wre ir.formed that th-y could have a law which wouid civ'e them a char.er sntif :actc.ry to them, but the sole condition upon whi'-h it was to be passed was that it shoii i 1 accompanied with a ripper. The g'ioi citirns of Fitubure tai teen suf fering tmd-r the rule of this nne. and knew there was 110 help for them un;:l they ecu id get a (barter for their ;iy. Many of them submitted to the frms. ard a bill was taken up for the covra mer.t of the city, which was promised to them literaly a3 it was drafted. All the Good Cut Out. When that bill went to Harrisburg the men in control of the state ma chine in one n:ht struk out of it every provision intended for good cov ernment. which tney had inteii;--nce enough to recognize. In that emascu lated form the bill was pas-sed with the npper attached to it. and the p-op.e of Pittsburg, who had submitted to the threat of this ripper as the price which must be paid lor good government, were given the ripper, and the oniv good features in that law left after they got throjEh with It were the pro visions which the emasculaiors did not have inteliis-n-.e enough to recoxize. The machine was to control and gov ern the city until the Erst election day under the law. The governor put a man there as recorder of the city, and the first step which he made give the citizens of Pittsburg good, nonest government was answered by an or der from Harrisburg remov'ine him. The ring was. by the order of the gov ernor. reinstated in the city of Pitts burg with greater power than it had held under the law which the peopie had struggled aeainst so long and which was so bitter to them: and so. instead of getting a good charter as promised, and an honest administra tion, they L&.1 the rins put back aeain In control with greater power than it ever held. Governor Stone's Postscript. The governor, when he did that, is sued a proclamation attempting to ex plain his act, and he added a post script in which he said: "I was not bribed to do this! " Think of it! The governor of this commonwealth was obliged by the very act which he was doing and the circumstances which sur rounded it to proclaim to the people that he was not a felon, and he is known today In the city of Pittsburg as the "P. S. Governor." In the whoie political history of this country I do not believe such another ignominious act La ever been perpetrated. Now the distinguished jurist to whom I referred says that the re sult of the ripper biii was unfortunate, that such a bill should never have been passed. In tbe latter part of Lis re marks I heartily acre with him. but I go further. I do not say that It was unfortunate: I say that it was criminal to seize the liberties of the peopie and trade them off, whether for monev or for political support, was treason against the institutions of our coun try. I am giad to say that this crime aroused the hearts of the people of Pittsburg as nothice ever bas. The betrayal of their riehta. the faiiure to redeem the promises made to them as a consideration of their submision to the ripper, the corrupt bargain made by which their liberties were traded off. aroused them to bitter indiznation and a determination to visit punish ment upon all concerned ia it. Pennypacker's Dangerous Doctrine. The Philadelphia Record thus edi torially refer to this matter: "From this speech la ha'.f-conderc na tion of the -ripper'" and in whole con demnation of the constitutional provi sion in restrain of s'iai lef-s-iation as a "monarchicti device'" the p-op'.j of Periuylvacia are ) ustiSed in making the inference that the candidate of tL machine if elected governor would not Interfere with the legisiative wiK--m. But Lis is a carzerous doctrine to pro claim In tbev times, much as it is cal cuiated to flatter the popular mind In recognition of the fact that the major ity of one day may b- ome a minora r on the next under a governm'-nt lik'-j ours, the pjpie nave imposed constitu tional restra'.PT npen the eiert ise cf their own will. They have thus pro tected thom-e!ves. their municipal rights and their Institutions acaicst the caprP or corruption of ctani?i:.c ma jorities in tbe legislature. Hut s.uh is in ai;...f;;ou of it.e machine candi date for the wi. iom and virtue of th Jegifiature that he treat as "monar chical devices' the provisions of th constitution of Penr.yivania for conv ening Its powers within reasonable and josi liiniu. The citizens of this .orrmonweslth m.y 7Cov!

The Pittsburg Post shows the ab surdity of JuJge Pennypacker's posi tion, as follows: "JudL-n Pennvpacker is far from dear or (ten lid, or even honest, in discuss ing municipal questions as em ud n"l in the ripr-r biii. and especially tneir further application by ine state ad m, nisiration in upsetting the .good res-its exp-'cted and promised by trie ripperlawty restoring the! ilnn-Hrown n.a line to power. The Republican candidate tri'Mses the original ripper as objectionable, but is silent atoiit the kr;ai-h methods of Stone and the gang in perwr!n2 It to the mot Infamous -ry in politic and legislation the titv of Fi'is.c.irg has ever t-en. It was this daring usurpation of power that rrai" the word ripper detestable. A.-iint it .Tudce Pennvpacker has not a "iord tn sav. He levels his feeble protests atam'st what was giH)d, or at l-ast ex. is.1l.1e. in th" ripper, and re f -mi'd abuses and wrongs that were otherwise not curative. -The j-id-e is finding the Inconven Pr.'e C'f standing up for two radically in or.sis'ent and opposing lines of mu n;i ipal t-ov rnnient.

Put on Friday nU-ht he ieaiited. and, as the n.a iiine organs claim, p-it him se;f in f ill svmpathv with their side by denouncin:: the original ripper and k-eping qui-t on the a buses and wrongs the' .Stc ne. I'iinn ani Brown have piled cn it. "Tr.d -r Q-iay's orders as governor h" will d-j pr'-v'-iy as Stone did. It will th.ereior l- evident to the voter1! of Pennsylvania that he is not the man to be er.trur'ed with the responsibility of evening this great state. In one treat h he d-c'.ares -'Pennsylvania has no politital i:!s worth mentioning." In another breath he tears to atoms in the interest of the g-inc the most Im portant legislation of the last session Piu.-t'ura ripper law. Through it all he is steadfast In the belief that Q ay is a greater man th?n Webster or Clay. Alas for Pennvpacker! he had best return to geography and history, or the butter crop in Montgomery county." A SHOT AT THE RING A Clear-Headed Eusiress Man's View of the Situation. Two Philadelphia business men. on the ay to their day s work, were talk ing together, and naturally the conver sation tinned to the political situation. The first man. an Independent and somewhat avtive as a reformer, ex pressed freejy his anti-Pennyparker views and his intention to vote for Paulson. The other man was a Re publican, and. like his friend, a type of the business man who attends to his own affairs successfully, does his own thinking, and. without appearing be fore the public, stands for what is best in our present-day commercial and po litical life. His words, a given by the Record, are worth quoting: "I have not always seen my way clear to go into these 'reform' move ments." he said to his companion, "for rot ail reformers are as disinterested as yourself. But it does seem to me that the time has come for decent men to line up against the gang. Those fel lows are not true Republicans; they are simply rascals using the party name to cloak their roguery. I have come to feel that nothing is owing to them in the way of party loyalty, except pun ishment. Of late we have done a great deal of talking about purifying politics; cow we have a chance to do some thing practical, and I have arrived at the conclusion that the only course open to a self-respectuig man. In the premises, is to vote for Pattison. We all know that he is straight, and prac tical as well. 1 believe that if he Is put into office acain we shall have real reform. Anyway, a vote for him is a shot at the machine, and I think I owe that duty to Pennsylvania." With a business man's hard-headed sense, this man had grasped the vital question involved in the present cam paign. He was too bright to be de ceived by the old trick of the boodlers in putting forth a decent man to catch the votes of the unwarv. In his mind the case resolved itself Into its true elements namely, Quavism versus clean government. THE CITADEL OF RING POWER. Th Quay candidate for governor has been trying to mislead the public mind with regard to the management of the state finances under the direction of his political creator, who has held the key of the public chest ever since he took control of the machine. The charge, which cannot be denied, the proof of which can never be blotted out. Is not defalcation and robbery, hut the misuse of the public monies while in the keeping of this organization, for its own selfish and base purposes. The disingenuous statement that the state treasury holds 112,000,000, carries with It, though unintentionally, the severest self-condemnation. It is the constant tabit af the ring to husband the state's resources for their own purposes, often holding back payments when they hould be made. The state treasury, for more than thirty years, has been the citadel of machine power, and every other year it renews its iron grip, no matter what other interests may suffer. Mr. Quay would rather lose any other office than this. He is today exacting triburo from his fiscal agents and In Indirect ways, also, securing financial help to maintain the power he has so shame fully abused. But the hand-writing is cn the wall. The people are aroused, and they mean to finally break the hmd of Quayisra upon the government of this great state. It every patriot help on the good work. We are assured of a reasonably hon ett vote In Philadelphia this time, and that means, half the battle. With the rural vote o it In force a great victory L.ay be won.
