Special Correspondence.
Ilnrrlttburg, Sept. 30. No citizen of
Pennsylvania who has served the peo
ple In a public capacity has over been
more, vigilant, courageous and faithful
tu the discharge of all the duties as
slpned him than Hubert 13. l'nttlson.
This Is the story of the record niado
diirlnjr five year's occupancy or the
vlty controller's ofllce In Philadel
phia, and eight years as governor.
X'pon one point particularly was this
ftlloial most strenuous in demanding
strict compliance with the law. In let
tor and spirit, lie always stood at
the door of the public treasury, guard
ing it to the extent of hl3 power from
illegal and unjust attacks. All the
world knows that It was this fidelity
to duty In the first ofllce he held which
impelled the people to call him up
blgher. lie saved the taxpayers of
Philadelphia a large amount of money
end Instituted reforms in the auditing
tif the public accounts which have con
tinued to this day. Further, since
I8S2, no man has aspired to that o!Ticc
who did not possess the very highest
measure of public respect and (on
Sdence. How He Watched Appropriations.
When ho came to llarrlshurg, in
January. 1SS3, Governor I'al tiaoii said
to a friend: ."I expect to have about
s hard a time as any man has ever
had for the first year. Alter that it
will be smoother sailing." In accord
ance with his clear Ideas of duty, and
invincible purpose to meet every ob
jection. Hie governor promptly began
the closest scrutiny of every bill S'lit
him by the legislature, especially those
involving appropriations of the pub
lic money. Me disapproved a largo
number of measures of this kind. He
returned the general appropriation
bill of the regular session of 1SS3
with many sections disapproved, in
whole or In part. Ho called attention
to the fact that the Items referred to
had no proper legal standing and most
vigorously contended for strict com
pliance with the law. He denounced
the proposed payment of cxtia com
pensation to certain officers of the leg
islature, as "a most glaring attempt
to increase salaries over fifty per cent,
in plain violation of the constitution
and laws." Ho discussed the matter
in detail, with great clearness and
conclusiveness. He expressed the
earnest hope that he would be relieved
in the future of the "unpleasant task
of disapproving of so many items," but
declared that he should rigidly main
tain the provision of the '.'onstitution
in question, both because he believed
it to bo his sworn duty and because he
regarded the section quoted "as emi
nently wise and proper."
Again, In 18S5, the governor met this
issue, quoting in his support the just
protest of Governor Hoyt, who, in 1S81,
had pointed out the illegality of extra
compensation appropriations. He
shejwed that the practice objected to
was utterly unjust, was without any
warrant of law and was nothing less
than a species of public robbery. The
legislature, to its discredit be it said,
Tioth houses being Republican, disre
garded the executive veto; but the gov
ernor's record must always commend
him to the highest consideration of his
fellow citizens. The amount ho turned
down effectively at the session of
when the house was Democratic, was
over $35,000.
Scathing Rebuke to Legislators.
The people have not forgotten Gov
ernor Pattison's consistent and cour
ageous action In disapproving the half
million dollar appropriation bill passed
at the fruitless extra session of 18S3.
This conscienceless grab as compensa
tion for doing nothing and refusing to
pass just apportionment bills, was ex
posed and denounced in a veto message
of remarkable strength, a document
that was read and heartily approved by
all honest citizens regardless of parti
tan views. Here are some timely ex
tracts from this historic rebuko to
faithless legislators:
"After wasting six months- in con
temning the constitution, members now
send me this bill to pay themselves half
a million dollars for refusing to do
what they were elected and sworn to
do. Every consideration of law and
the simplest principles of common jus
tice protest against such an attempt
to take the money of the people with
out consideration. There Is no law
authorizing public officers to pay them
selves for defying the law. No cltl
xen In his private business capacity
would sanction such a principle as that
underlying this bill. MonBtrous as
such a claim would be under any cir
cumstances, it is yet more repugnant
to law, equity and common sense, when
asserted ty officials who mennee the
very existence of republican govern
ment by refusing to obey the plainest
and most Imperative of constitutional
commands nnd give to the people their
most sacred and valuable political
rights. So fir as I am ablo I shall
thwart the wrong by my disapproval."
Against Every Kind of Robbery.
With regard to special bills also, as
observed, Governor Paulson set his
face firmly against all manner of unjust
grants of the public money, private
pensions, contested election cases,
fraudulent claims, reckless committee
extravagance, public printing waste
fulness, etc. At the session of 1S93 ho
broke up a petty scheme of public plun
der, a proposition to place a useless
ropy of an expensive legislative hand
book In rfll the public schools of the
commonwealth. He halted the notor
ious bird book extravagance likewise.
Many appropriations to public Institu
tions, made without sufllclcnt warrant
of law, necessity or usefulness, were
promptly turned down at every session.
Worthy charities, having legitimate
claim upon the bounty of the common
wealth, were not made to suffer, but
judicious watchfulness was exercised
over the uistributlon of the public
funds In every direction. This can
extended to ordinary departmental ex
penditures, and everyone concerned
enme to understand that public treas
ury guardianship was a sacred trust.
No one ever thought of Intimating any
thing to the contrary.
Pennypacker a Self-Condemned Critic.
This has been reserved alone for the
present alleged Republican enndidate
for governor, who,' In his speech at
Erie, by indirec tion and implication,
tried to create the impression that Gov
ernor Pattison had been remiss with
regard to this Important matter. This
suggestion, on the part of Judge Penny
packer. Is all the more unjustlllable
from the fact that during Governor
Pattison's first term his present would
bo critic was largely engaged, as a
member of the bar, In a line of legal re
porting nnd book making which made
It absolutely necessary for him to keep
fully Informed as to what was beiilg
done by the law making body nnd the
executive branch of the state govern
ment as well. He knew he was be
lying the record at Erie, seeking to un
justly Injure his opponent and make
capital for himself without any foun
dation whatever for the statements
and insinuations p'lt forth. Governor
Pnttison earned the relentless hostil
ity of a class of men who have dis
graced the legislature at every session
for a generation past, everyone of
whom will unite In applauding Judge
Pennypacker's course, but It must.be
unqualifiedly condemned by every fair
minded anu honest man in Pennsyl
vania. Quay's Candidate and His Company.
It is significant of what Is expected
of him that his candidacy for the ex
ecutive ofllce is tho sole work of the
machine and its allies, in town and
country, and that the very worst ele
ments in the political life of the state
are united In his support. His political
associations for many years have been
with the personal followers, adherents
and confidants of Senator Quay. Ho
has enjoyed their company, rejoiced In
their successes, endorsed their meth
ods, sympathized with their efforts and
given the weight of his personal influ
ence, while holding an honored place
upon tho bench, in their behalf.
At the notorious bnnquet in Phila
delphia where six hundred of his roist
ering friends celebrated Senator Pen
rose's election, Judge Pennypacker sat
near the head of the table, beside a
favored ring contractor, who was at
that time one of the financial backers
of the machine. He was In congenial
company. He had no word of condem
nation for the scenes which had taken
place at Harrisburg, at tho timo of the
senatorial election, or for those which
were then passing under his eye, so
sadly and Impressively illustrating the
demoralizing influences of degraded
politics in Pennsylvania, and to which
a host of once promising and ambi
tious young men have been Indebted
for their irretrievable downfall. Even
at Erie,' when the chief speaker before
an association of young men, Judge
Pennypacker had no woru of disap
proval for the evils of our political
system, no word of denunciation for
the manifold sins of omission and com
mission of the machine; no word of in
spiration for the friends of clean poli
tics and good government; no word of
encouragement for those who are self
sacrificingly ttriving to rescue the com
monwealth from the polluted hands of
its worst enemies.
Every movement of the Quay party
Is crooked. Even the big ball rolling
project Ib a scheme to use Roosevelt's
face as a mask for the baffled Pennsyl
vania boss. Put intelligent voters see
through It all.
Worklngmen everywhere are real
izing that their best weapon with
which to maintain all their rights is au
lionest ballot. They are arraying
themselves against the political crooks
this year as never before. The rail
roaders' endorsement of Pattison is a
sign of. the times that means great
things for the cause of clean politics
and good government.
lionest Republicans are beginning to
see clearly that they cannot endorse
Pennypackerlsm without continuing
QuayUm in power. The machine can
didate has shown himself to be a weak
ling from whom nothing good may be
expected.
JUDGE PENNYPACKER'S FATAL
FOLLY.
Many times within recent years tho
political machine which Is responsible
for mlsgovernment in Pennsylvania
hns confessed tho truth of the Indict
ment against It and promised reforma
tion. To this hour Its pledges have
been systematically violated, and the
head of this organization, a little while
ago, publicly stated that if It did not
keep faith with the people in connec
tion with ballot reform, It would sink
Into merited Infamy. It has been re
served for tiie present enndidate of this
organization for the highest ofllce in
tho gift of the people, to openly and
falBely characterize n temperate state
ment of plain facts concerning mlsgov
ernment and self-confessed political
degradation these things being known
of all men and deeply deplored by all
good citizens as an Indefenslblo
"wall, diatribe, denunciation of tho
state and Its people." This amazing
confession of weaknes in answering
Governor Pattison's speech of accept
ance should prove fatal to Judge Pen
nypneker's misplaced ambition.
Has It come to this, that free speech
is a crime? That tho truth must no
longer be told? That public protest
must be stifled? That public wrong
doing must be passed by without no
tice? That faithless public servants and
corrupt political lenders must not even
bo criticised, much less chastized, with
the freeman's weapon, an honest bal
lot? The declaration of the Erie con
vention, which Is a truthful summing
up, in part, of glaring evils of the time
in Pennsylvania, Is flippantly referred
to and its grave charges dismissed, as
"u platform of mendacities." Is this
tho way in which the burning issues
before tho long-suffering citizens of
this commonwealth are to be met?
The last session of the Pennsylvania
legislature was without a parallel in
defiant wrong-doing, the evidence of
which was so conspicuous that there
could bo no denial that did not reflect
upon the Intelligence and sincerity of
any apologist therefor. Tho second
officer in the government of the state,
thoroughly ashamed of the degrada
tion he had witnessed from the presid
ing chair in the senate, publicly and
indignantly declared that never In all
his legislative career of many years
was bribery and corruption so open and
shameless. The most direct charges of
venality were made in the public prints
against men openly named, without
even reply, much less denial. Defense
or escape from public scorn and con
demnation was impossible.
The widespread Indignation of the
people has been expressed in many
ways, through leading newspapers,
speaking shamefacedly for the party in
power; through public assemblages;
through a convention of self-respecting,
intelligent and fair-minded citi
zens, representing more than 100,000
conscientious members of the Republi
can party, and in a union of forces,
upon a non-partisan basis, with the
avowed and determined object of re
deeming the state government from
flagrant and demoralizing misrule.
There has been an uprising of honest,
courageous and patriotic men which
cannot and will not be silenced and put
down, at the bidding of any man. It
will not accept apologies or disclaimers
or pleas for forgetfulness. It will not
give ear to the unwise, and unpa
triotic cry of party regularity, the pur
pose of which is to cover up heinous
ofi'ensea; to blot out the memory
thereof, and to prevent any guarantee
for the future, any assurance of bet
ter things.
Judge Pennypacker answers, with
strango unwisdom and lack of true
civic ideas, a flood tide of public criti
cism of his apologetic defense of ma
chine iniquities, by again repeating
and emphasizing anew the self-condemnatory
statement that there are
no evils to be corrected; that he sees
no sins of omission nor commission,
having ijords of praise and ill-founded
and unjustifiable charity for evil-doers,
and bitter-minded criticism of those
who denounce public evils and de
mand their correction. He has no
sympathy with those who are striving
for better things. He servilely imi
tates his leader in seeking to divert
public attention from the misdoings
of the most odious legislature in Penn
sylvania's history. "
lie even goes further, and plays
upon tho chords of public Ignorance,
prejudice and passion. He gives grave
offense to every instinct of patriotism,
to every sense of justice, by comparing
men who represent and who cour
ageously avow and stand for the best
Impulses, the best thought and the
best purposes of a virtuous and pa
triotic people, to tho misguided and
desperate enemies of government and
the public peace. This Is a blunder of
partisan zeal that is worse than a de
liberate crime.
In his blind devotion to those whom
he seeks to serve, this misguided
apologetic defender of Quaylsm does
not see that the worst anarchists
this country has produced; the most
dangerous enemies of the state and of
society, are the men who have so
deeply corrupted the political arena,
so terribly polluted the very sources of
government In his public utterances
thus far, Judge Pennypacker has con
clusively shown his unworthlness of
public trust and confidence; his blind
unwisdom and pitiable weakness; that
bis election to the governorship of this
great state as the ready servant of a
corrupt machine would be a public
calamity.

Governor Pattison wsi3 nt Ilarrl.:burr
The record of executive disapproval o;
appropriations that were unwarranted
Is to be found In ths official history of
the sessions of 1SS3, 1885, 18!)1 and
1893. It will there bo seen that Judic
ious guardianship of the treasury iw:u
promptly and effei lively exercised. In
one case an appropriation bill, which
wns Intended to compensate members
who had been faithless to ttwir trust
and had disobeyed the constitutional
mandate with regard to cpportlonmrnt.
nd which involved nearly $300,000, w:.u
vetoed; and at other times measure-.;
aggregating scores of thousands of dol
lars were turned down.
As he hns courageously declared, tii'j
policy then pursued with regard to this
matter, will be followed In tho future.
If the people commission the candi
date nominated at Erie to conduct the
executive department during the next
four years. The taxpayers of tho state
know that this pledge of honest and
economic administration will be kept in
letter and spirit. That Is one of the
reasons why they are so enthusias
tically and determinedly rallying to his
support in ail parts of the state.
KEEPING THE LID ON.
Judge Pennypacker does not seem to
be capable of fair-minded statement in
political controversy. His reference to
two former Democratic state adminis
trations Is characteristically mislead
ing and unjust. Within that period,
appropriations to public institutions
were not held up or tampered with cor
ruptly. With Robert E. Pattison oa
guard in the executive chair this vii
lianous work would not have been at
tempted. This Is an evil of recent
growth, a development of the intensi
fied crookedness of political adventur
ers and mercenaries.
Tho most positive proof of the charge
made, in one notorious Instance, has
been publicly given, nn officer of tha
educational institution concerned
frankly admitting an alleged "expenso
account" of 10 per cent., or nearly three
thousand dollars, in securing an appro
priation to which his school was hon
estly entitled. Many members of tho
legislature have bitterly complained cf
the treatment to which they nave been
subjected by public pirates, a3 thesa
conscienceless public servants have
been Justly, though severely, termed.
Judge Pennypacker has a hard time
getting the lid on. It seems to be his
special desire to cover every species of
public crookedness, to hide all tue evil
doings of the degraded representatives
of Quaylsm.
See that your Republican neighbor
has the facts before him this year.
Lend him this paper ev:ry wvek. It
you want an extra copy a postal will
bring it. Help along the good work of
public enlightenment.
Be not deceived by false reports and
campaign roorbachs. The machine
He factory has 6tarted up earlier than
usual tnls year. This is significant
But the truth will triumph.
Pennypacker will find out presently
that the people propose to fight the bat
tle for freedom against the machine and
all Its cohorts and apologists and de
fenders as well.
Penrose's fate Is as good as sealod
already and he knows it. He has been
a monumental failure as senator and
also as sub-boss. The whole outfit
must go.
Turn out at every Democratic meet

four weeks is the political harvest time
for good government.
