PLUMBER'S PUBLIC RCGOSD REVEALED AND RENUDI&YIOH CF mm DEEDED Distinguished Republican Lawyer Calls t or a Statement Fron the Candidate of His Party On Salient Questions. On Anoint 30 Henry C. Nil, Ksq n ilistingiiliOicd lawyer and Rf.oai fnst Ilepnlillenn, of York, l'a., niMressed a leiter mi behalf (if himself ami his BSKoebitea In the I.lniln Party, to Hon. .1. l.ee I'liiinmer, Kepiilillcan machino nomlneo for Kt;itP Treasurer, propnundlnn certain piiestlotis with respect to Mr. I'lunmier's public life mid requesting cntcKnrlcnl answers. The qucKtlnnn orR pertinent, nnd as a stalwart Ilepnblif nn Mr. Nlles had a right to the Information mid dor irat Ions which he souyM. Mom than threo weeks have elapsed since the letter was received by Mr. I'luminer, and as "silence Riven consent." his failure to reply In confession of (he accuracy of the statements It contained. Following Is the full text of the letter which has not been answered: "YOltK, I'A., August HOth, 1905. "Hon. .1. I.r Hummer, Republican nominee for State Treasurer. "Dear Sir Itecnuse you have been nominated by the Republi can convention for the nfTU-e of State Treasurer, I feel that I may not lie taking undue liberty In venturltiK to address to you this communication on behalf of myself ami some oilier who have re quested nm to attempt to plvo voice In their thought at this time. 'Tor ourselves and on behalf of ninny other Republican voters who we believe are similarly Interested, we desire to call your at tention to some facts and current Impressions, nnd ask an expres sion from you that may be imeful to the voters In determining their action at the fall election. "There have been rumors that heretofore the State Treasury has been used for partisan and personal advantage; that the selec tion of banks as depositories has been dictated by the persons con trolling the Republican Organization for political rotuiideratlons, and sometimes for private gain. Record Not at All Reassuring. "What we have learned about your record and ns.torln.t ions does not fully a hiii re us that In your hands such abuses would be Impossible. "You were a member of the Legislature of 1903. "We are Informed thnt during that session you voted for all of what were known as the Machine legislation and grab bills, and as chairman of the Elections Committee were active in unseating the two Democratic members, niumle, of Cameron, and Ferry, of Lu zerne, against all evidence, and at the close of the session, In order that Republican contestants, without right, might get the salaries and perquisites of ofllce. "It was said that this proceeding was so rankly partisan that It was opposed and condemned oven by such stalwarts as McClaln and Cooper. "You were a member of the last House of Representatives, and are credited with 'going along' with the lVnrosp-lMirham Machine. "You ranged yourself against the indorsement of President Roosevelt's plans to relieve the peopU from the crying injustice of railroad discriminations and rebates. "You were opposed to any action for personal registration. In preparation for which the Constitution had been amended, and which was urged by the Governor anil the best elements of the State. "You were antagonistic to the effort to Introduce Into our civil service the merit system of appointment nnd promotion, that has done so much for the purlflc.it ion or polities in the Federal service and In other States, and to which the Republican party of the na tion Is Irrevocably committed. "You voted for the villainous I'ulil bill, designed to cripple so cieties for the prevention of vice; for the Infamous Krhanlt bills, for the protection of the white slave trailers, and for the Philadel phia ripper bills, the only possible purpose of which could be to rivet upon that city the chains of an organization of public plun derers. Oath to Obey the Constitution Forgotten. "You tHik a solemn oath to ohey the Constitution of tho Com monwealth. "Tho Governor called your attention to your sworn duty to reap portion the Slate. "You did nothing. "The same Constitution which J'ou had sworn to 'support, obey and defend made it your duty 'to enforce by appropriate legislation' the provisions of the seventh article. "Not only did you do nothing to fulfill this oath-bound obligation, but you are said to have accepted and used free passes issued by law less corporations In deliberate defiance of tho eighth section of that article. "If the above stated, currently reported allegations nre true, you can hardly expect the vote of the ..itizens who are not tainted by parti san poison. "If you really did knowingly violate your oath as Representative, what security can you give that you will not be equally false as treas urer? "If you gavo all of your influence ns legislator for the assistance of tho 'criminal combination masquerading under the name of Repub licans,' whnt guarantee can you give us that you will not turn over the contents of the State Treasury to their loving care? "We desire to be entirely Just to you. If these statements are in correct, and you have been misrepresented by rumor and newspaper reports; or if the Assembly's minutes, that we have been Informed sometimes recorded you as present and voting when you wore really miles away, have been fraudulently kept in regard to all of your ac tions by wicked persons bent on your disgrace, we will be happy to have you inform us, and we will gladly assist you In efforts to coun teract the effect of so gross a libel. "It Is possible that you did what you did involuntarily and under the Influence of that spoilsman, hypnotism, that has led astray other not inherently bad men. "You may not have really known what was going on, hut were de luded to consider yourself an lrrespsonsible agent of an Irresistible political force, and that your only function was to revive and carry out Instructions from your masters in conclave at the mansion on the Harrisburg river front. "You may not have known, as did none of us, the full measure of the depravity and dishonest purpose of the men who had stolen the livery of the party of Lincoln and Roosevelt for tho service of the graft devil. "You are surely now Informed of their baseness and of that treachery and fraud that has beeu recently so clearly revealed as to stifle all pretense of denial. "If, notwithstanding your unfortunate past, you are still In fibre an honest and patriotic man, such as only would be qualified to ad minister the millions of the people's money, you will now repudiate all connection and sympathy witn the grafters, and do It with all the more Indignant, vehemence because they have so grossly deceived you to your dishonor. "It will, of course, bo unpleasant to admit that you were so sim ple minded as not to discern the dishonesty and impropriety of the schemes in which you were made a tool; but It would be better for your lasting fame to go down to history ns the dupe rather than aa the accomplice of the public enemy, or the accessory after the fact of their admitted sordid crimes. "If you can take this position; if you can conscientiously affirm that you were only careless and negligent; If you can plead ignor ance of the true character and wicked purposes of those you have heretofore served, your fellow citizens, while pitying your former Im becility, will admire your manly frankness and may consider the excuse. Not Too Late For Repentance. "If you will forever renounce all further relations with Durham, forsake Penrose and all his works, road the Constitution of your Commonwealth and pledge yoursslf to give the remnant of your days to fulfilment of your often-taken and as often-disregarded oath for Its support; If you will do all this as publicly and linmedlatetly as you have sinned openly and Incessantly there will be Joy from Dixie's line to the New York border as over one sinner that reponteth. "You may bo able to give some other defense; If so we will glad ly consider It. "If you succeed In convincing your fellow citizens either that the material allegations In regard to your record herein referred to are untrue, or that there Is some valid excuse for them; or, that you are entitled to be absolved on the ground of Ignorance, and, with con trition for your past, you now sincerely Intend to take your stand on the side of the people In the fight with the spoilsmen, they may conclude to confide to you the treasury of the State. "If you will favor nto with a speedy answer, I shall, with your permission, give It as much publicity as this letter may receive. "Trusting that under the circumstances this letter will not be considered an unwarrantable Intrusion, and with respect, which I hope will be greatly increased by the temper and matter of your re ply, I remain sincerely yours.
