FROM THE BENCH TO THE RINQ
(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia. Oct. 27. The most sln
fulnr and suggestive development of
the present campaign is the fact that
almost every Intelligent and golf-respecting
Republican one meets, either
openly and indignantly repudiates the
candidate of his party machine for gov
ernor, or sharply refuses to "talk poli
tics," and turns away in transparent
disgust when his name is mentioned.
In the whole history of Pennsylvania
politics there has never been such a
monumental failure, as his own advo
cate, as Pennypacker. Had he remain
ed upon the bench, kept his mouth
shut, looked wise and destroyed or se
curely hidden, every copy of the stupid
and abusive Quay book he is respon
sible for, he would have polled thous
ands of votes, even as the pliant crea
ture of th boss, that will now be turn
ed indignantly against him. This is
the sentiment everywhere expressed,
even amongst those who have looked
on from a distance.
What the People Think.
Face to face with the people the ex
Judge has chilled his would-be sup
porters, driven away the doubtful, fear
fully discredited himself with intelli
gent men, and unconsciously revealed
his absolute lack of tne qualities de
manded in a high executive office and
shown his pitiable subserviency to
everything representing Quayism and
all that it stands for. All sorts of ex
planations have been given, but the
true one simply is, this man had been
placed upon a pedestal where he did
not belong. Self-stripped of the mask
be has worn he now stands before the
people, where he should be, feeble in
Intellect', destitute of high principles,
ts such a man fit to be the chief magis
trate of Pennsylvania? This is the
question now before the freemen of the
commonwealth. A brief retrospect will
make this clear to the dullest mind.
His Devotion to the Machine.
Having, if he so desired, a life posi
tion of honor, at large remuneration
for a man of his social surroundings,
there was no excuse Judge Pennypack
er could offer for demeaning himself
u the defender and eulogist of Quay
ism. There is not another member of
the Philadelphia judiciary who would
have done this thing. Mind you, the
first offence was the editing and ful
some endorsement of Quay's venom on
the stump In 1900, when he was so des
perately seeking re-election. The
striking similarity, upon many sub
jects, between those discreditable de
liverances end Pennypacker's own
speeches, is extremely suggestive. It
shows a sympathy of ideas and pur
poses that makes the twin authorship
apparent. It shows how thoroughly
the creature of Quay is saturated with
the virus of Quayism. Next, the mag
tzlne article, ostensibly in defense of
Pennsylvania, was written expressly
to defend the writhing boss, who was
skinned alive in the publication so
weakly and Insincerely replied to.
The judge thought to hide his real
purpose through devoting the post
script only to Quay glorification.
Why He Was Chosen.
Such slavish service, with intimate,
confidential, personal relationship for
many years and constant support of
the machine, made Pennypacker an
Ideal candidate for the wily boss. He
.tfted his old cock-eye and gleefully
murmured: "He's just the decoy I
want We can fool the people with
11m. We can rely upon him every
time. Yes, If I should want to repeat
old Vt"ii-M Hugo's trick, ho will put
Welt In my plae. Ah, Sam la the
man for '02." Then the word was
passed along and the deed was done,
with rjlcturesquo grand larceny of El
delegates, as the needful finale,
?ennyrpcker wovld not have had a
Ingle Allocate, even in Philadelphia,
without "rders." He knows this, yet
"je stands up and shakes hands with
llmself as the "choice of the Republi
can pnrty." Therein h shows what
manner of nan he is.
A bicjniTicant Omission.
There waa no formal notification of
the Huiu.uuig nominee, and why?
This ouM have rorpilrpd the candi
date to an oj rrcw.-d, in some explicit
manner, trr.crx.W.s public questions.

tlian-wuubci-Oi-viaji tulk was brought
la by a grinning Ledger reporter tho
city editor nearly fell oft his chair.
Ho brace:! up and determined to let
the man who seemed to have shovoled
out his brains when he hung up Ms
Judicial robes, commit political suicide.
What do you suppose the amazed boss
would have (riven for that "copy?" His
attack of "indisposition" the next day
was one of the closest calls he ever
had.
Thero was silence that could bo felt
for a month; but the risk had to be
taken, the Judge had to be let loose.
And what a mess he has made of It!
A review of these extraordinary
"speeches" Is enough to give one the
nightmare. In no Instance has there
been a plain, earnest, sincere, truth
ful discussion of the questions at Is
sue. Instead, a series of rambling
talks that would discredit a candidate
for Justice of the peace In Schwenks
ville, where the Judge raises chickens
and bonnyclabber. Let us run rapid
ly over some of tho points raised In
the grent case of the people against
the machine.
Dodging Vital Issues.
It was charged that Quay set up
Pennypacker because of the latter's
personal devotion, past, present and
future guaranteed. Not a word Is said,
however. In reply. No denial, no pro
test, no manly declaration of personal
Independence, no denunciation of the
manifold crimes of Quayism, no prom
ise of clean hands and honest govern
ment. It was charged that tho last session
of the legislature was corrupt beyond
all others. In reply, Judge Penny
packer quotes perfunctory approval of
the routine work of a legal commission
which codified laws and simplified
practice, nd then drops the curtain,
saying: "v'e have nothing to do with
the past."
It was charged that legislative can
didates were largely set up by a cor
rupt machine for Belftsh purposes. In
reply, It was declared that these men
represented the virtue and Intelligence
of the people, a statement that shows
mental nnd moral obtuseness of an
extraordinary degree.
It was charged that the legislature
wr.s organized through open bribery.
No reply.
It was charged that the last sena
torial election was shamelessly cor
rupt. No reply.
It was charged that the machine
kept Itself in power largely through
control and misuse of the public funds.
It was claimed, In reply, in the words
of Quay, in a public speech, that no
public money had been "lost." Of
course not; defalcations having been
made good by unhappy bondsmen.
No Censure of Wrong-Doing.
It was charged that crooked appor
tionments were made to keep the Quay
ring In power. No reply.
It was charged that public Institu
tions had been robbed of part of their
appropriations. Jirst, in reply, proof
was demanded. When that was prompt
ly furnished, silence.
It was charged that the machine
fought against true ballot reform. Re
ply, when "the organization," that Is
the machine, made a new ballot law,
to suit itself, it would be approved.
It was charged that public franchises
had been unfairly bestowed upon ring
favorites. No reply.
It was charged that the state and
municipalities had been greatly wrong
ed by these combines. Reply: "The
state is no peddler," an absurd piece
of pettifogging, in violence of tho rul
ing of the supreme court, and prevail
ing practice in all other states.
It was charged and clearly proven
that Judge Pennypacker, upon four dif
ferent occasions, grossly misquoted
Governor Paulson's speech of accept
ance and falsely accused him of slan
dering honest legislators. No reply.
It was charged and clearly shown
that tho machine promotes monstrous
frauds at the polls. Reply, again fol
lowing Quay: "You exaggerate. I never
saw any."
It has been chargrd from the be
ginning that the Quay candidate, If
elected, will be a subservient tool of
Quayism. No reply.
Rejoicing Over Injustice.
When a mob of armed ruffians,
shouting for Pennypacker, broke up an
assemblage cf peaceable citizens, the
machine candidate was urged by
shame-faced friends to denounce tho
outrage. No reply; instead, when told
that the mob's purpose was accom
plished through legal quibbles. Judge
Pennypacker forever discredited him
self In the eyes of fair-minded men,
brought additional shnme upon his
state and gave final proof of his un
worthlness of public trust and confi
dence, by gleefully exclaiming "That's
good news."
So it has been all tho way through.
This great state has never witnessed
such a humiliating spectacle ps that
presented by the candidacy of Samuel
W. Pennypacker. His course has been
such that patriotic citizens, in greater
number than ever before, and with In
creasing indignation, while declaring
their continued loyalty to the Republi
can party under honest leadership,
have openly announced their Intention
to repudiate him at the polls and to
cast their ballots for the honorable
opponent whom he has vainly sought
to belittle and misrepresent. Ho has
emphasized the supremo issue of the
hour In Pennsylvania. He has made
It rlfir to all that Pennypackerism and
QiMyhrn are one and the same thing;
thft n vote for him means the indel
n'te perKtuat!on of tho malign power
which has so long and po grievously
fl'ictv1 the penrde of the createst In-
I diiMr'-il i-tato In the Union
Earnest effort all along the line will
ensure an honest legislature. Look
to the fight in cvory district.
QUAYISM DOOMED.
The baffled Quay combine has rwi
out the mud machine and raised the
black flag. This Is a sure sign of
coming defeat. The boss never losos
his head when things go right and the
way to renewed triumph is clear. Dut
a campaign of costly blunders is cul
minating in a disastrous break-up;
hence the tactics of desperation. The
people le understood the confidence
game that was to bo played. Tho de
coy has been uncovered,
Tennypackerlsm has been thorough
ly exposed. The candidate of the ma
chine has told on himself. He has not
dared even to make feeble protest that
ho is his own master. Ho has fearfully
dissipated his party strength tit every
step. It is seen that a grand smash
is just ahead. So orders have gone
out to use forbidden weapons; to strike
In the dark; to use slanderous false
hood; to mislead the Ignorant; to
arouse prejudice and passion; to slay
In vengeance.
This is the meaning of baseless at
tacks on tho Democratic candidates.
This is the secret of the mercenary
activity of certain cheap elements, al
ways in tho political shambles. The
printing press has been prostituted to
serve dishonorable purposes. The
tempter Is abroad, seeking to use con
scienceless election officers and po
litical workers. Venal voters will be
corralled. A last desperate stand will
be made, but In vain.
Let every intelligent citizen calmly
consider tho purpose which inspires
all this wicked work. Let him regard
the "last cards" now being thrust Into
his face as the product of social out
laws. They will stop at nothing.
They have anple resources. They de
spise the law. They will rule or ruin
If they can. Tho pirates are on
deck; but the battle has been fairly
fought, with clenn hands, and with a
full vote on the part of honest citi
zenship. Pennsylvania, on Tuesday
next, will be freed forever from the
blighting control of Quayism.
The Quay hirelings stop at nothing.
Their base attempt to "work" the min
ers' convention showed how desperate
they are, ' Only the most degraded
politicians would thus impudently
meddle with the affairs of honest work
men. The miners know how they have
been betrayed aforetime. They will
do their own thinking and their own
voting. They know that Governor
Pattison signed more labor bills than
Beaver, Hastings and Stone combined.
Let no young man begin the duties
of citizenship by casting his first vote
to sustain the power that has cursed
Pennsylvania for a generation. Stand
up for pure politics and honest gov
ernment. Vote for Pattison and the
whole Democratic ticket and you will
make no mistake.
Pattison and Guthrie have made a
magnificent canvass. They have vis
ited nearly every county, made about
two hundred speeches each and faced
upwards of 200,000 people. Such
earnest and faithful work will tell Im
mensely on election day.
See that every polling place Is well
manned on election day and every vote
brought out. This will mean a great
victory for the people.
GRANGERS FOR PATTISON
Prominent Leaders Send Formal As-
surance of Their Hearty Support.
Farmers from all over the state,
men prominent In the granges, who
have heretofore taken little part In
politics, are sending to State Chair
man Creasy assurances of their sup
port of Robert E. Pattison for governor
Chairman Creasy has received the fol
lowing appeal, which is being sent out
to granges by those prominent in their
ranks:
The undersigned, members of the
Grange Patrons of Husbandry, indorse
the candidacy of Robert K. Pattison for
governor, not from any party consid
eration, but because during his former
adminibtratlons he showed himself to
be a true friend of the tanner and ear
nestly supported the legislation which
we advocate. His opponents have had
the power for 40 years and have con
stantly refused to give relief from un
just taxation, though urged to do so at
every session of the legislature for 20
years past.

DUTY OF INDEPENDENTS
The Veteran Philadelphia Reformer,
H. C. Lea, Urges a Full Vote
For Pattison.
Henry C. Lea, distinguished politi
cal writer and representative business
man, In a letter to Secretary George
E. Mapes, of the Union party of this
tate, makes a strong, clear argument
on what he considers tli plalu duty
of Independent voters In iho present
state fight. Prompted by tho Dauphin
county court's declaration that all cer
tificates of nomination from the Union
party's state convention are Invalid,
Mr. Lea writes:
Since the decision of Judge Slmonton
has deprived the L'nlon party of a col
umn on the ballot, it would seem that
means should be taken to remind Inde
pendent voters that their object can
be attained by marking either in the
column of the "Itallot Reform" or of
tho Democratic party.
Not a Vote Should Be Lost.
It la of the highest importance that
In the approaching election not a vote
should be lost of tho.se who desire the
overthrow of the machine. It is rare
that in the politics of Per-itVlvania
such au opVoi tiiiiity o iters a. cuinncf
pating the city and state from the foul
domination which has rendered t.n:n
throuhojii the land the type of all t hat
disgraces our Institutions. Tills H a
critical period in which p.-.rtisan fad
ings should b" forgot tn. There are uo
national Issues at stpk; tln cmi"Kt is
conPn-d rtrlctly within lh- boundaries
of the stat", nnd the result will be
simply to determine whether we are
to be emancipated or are t-j continue
In bondage to the machine.
Should Stand By Pattison.
No thinking man can doubt that tho
election of Mr. 1 attiiiui with the rec
ord behind him of two eminently hon
est and conservative gubernatorial
terms would prove greatly morn ser
viceable to he community than that of
his competitor, who represents the ma
lodorous influences that placed him in
nomination. Nor can anyone deny that
this would be a substantial service
rendered to the Republican party by
relieving it of the odium which it has
Justly incurred by its leadership in this
state. Nor, moreover, can any Repub
lican apprehend future disaster to his
party, through its defeat in November
on these purely local Issues, seeing
that the position of the state, in a pres
idential election, is one which does not
admit the possibility of a question.
This is so absolutely safe that, on
purely local issues, the warmest Repub
lican can permit himself the luxury of
independent voting.
UNION PARTY VOTES
Chairman Hicks Advises Use of Ballot
Reform Column For State
Candidates.
Advice to Independent Republican
voters to turn in for rnttison, Guthrie
and Nolan, the candidates on the
Democratic and Ballot Reform state
tickets, is given In a formal address
Issued by State Chairman Hicks, of
the Union party. He says we recom
mend: First That the members of the Un
ion party vote the Ballot Reform state
ticket Pattison, Guthrie and Nolan
in the Ballot Reform column.
Second In counties where there are
Union party legislative and county
tickets, vote for the Union party candi
dates in the Union column, so that
such votes may be counted as Union
party votes, and nreserve to the Union
pert j' the right to ir.aUo nominations
hereafter, by having polled tho neces
sarly percentage of Ilia vole. Where
there are no Union party legislative
and county candidates vote for the Bal
lot Reform or Democratic legislative
nominees, excepting such as have made
objectionable records in past legisla
tive sessions.
Third Vote for such Ballot Reform
or Democratic judicial and county nom
inees, where no Union party column is
presented, whose public and private
records commend them to the support
of the anti-Quay Republicans.
Fourth Vote for Republicans for
congress. Where there is more than
one Republican candidate for congress,
vote for the one whose election will
give the most creditable representation
in the district and most emphatically
repudiate Quayism and prove most ad
vantageous to the cause of reform.
By following this course, Union par
ty voters and independent citizens gen
erally will demonstrate:
First That this is not a fight upon
the part of the independent Republi
cans to weaken tho Republican na
tional administration.
Second That It is purely a state con
test for good government, i?lean poli
tics and opposition to tho thieving com
bination which has for its sole and sel
fish purpose the robbery of the people
of the commonwealth and the cities
therein.
Third That in spite of any conspir
acies the people can find a way, even
though it be inconvenient, to resent
and oppose the course pursued by the
Republican machine of Pennsylvania.
THE BALLOT REFORM ISSUE
Pennypacker Dodges, While Pattison
Points to His Official Record.
Chairman Woodruff, of the Joint
committee for tho Promotion of Elec
tion Reforms, recently wrote to the two
gubernatorial candidates, Messrs. Pen
nypacker and Pattison, concerning
their attitude toward the ballot reform
bill and personal registration bill ad
vocated bv the joint committee.
Mr. Pennypacker replied very briefly
that ballot reform id a question to
which he Ins given much attention. He
states further that the preparation of a
ballot reform bill is now In the hands
of a committee appointed for that pur
pose. This letter Is taken as meaning that
the Repnblicp.n candidate, before com
mitting himself, wants to know what
will bo done by Senator Quay's "Bal
lot iterorm committee, or by Quay.
In striking contrast with this saving
if practically nothing on the main is
sue of the btate caiiipn!i;n is the follow
ing reply fr'Tri ex-Ci vernor Pattison
to Chairman Woodruff-
No Mistaking Patt.uon'e Stand.

It is a great affliction for a woman to
have her face disfigured by pimples or
any form of eruptive disease. It makes
her morbid and sensitive, and robs her
of social enjoyment. Disfiguring erup
tions are caused by impure blood, and
are entirely cured by the great blood
purifying medicine Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It removes from the
blood the poisonous impurities which
cause disease. It perfectly and perman
ently cures scrofulous sores, eczema,
tetter, boils, pimples and other eruptive
diseases which are iused by the blood's
impurity. It increases the action of
the blood-making flands and thus in
creases the supply of pure rich blood.
