The Xew York Sun says: •'The Hon. William Mckinley's administration is to be endorsed or disapproved by the voters of Xew York next November. The cam paign and the election cannot reasonably be regarded as local or personal. The issues are national. The result and effect will be national." Certainly the issues are national. llow can they be anything else? We have sent our men to war, and those that were not left dead upon the field of battle are returning to us after ail arduous campaign, but flushed with victory. They have won for us the Philippines, the Ladrones. Cuba and Porto liico. They have planted Ihe A merican Hag upon the islands heretofore owned by Spain. We cannot in sult these men by hauling down that flag, nor can we give up the control of the government to those who would thwart the great enter prise upon which the I'nited States is about entering and which our troops have made possible. W'e shall open up these posses sions to commerce and trade. We shall pour capital into them. W'e shall make new markets and send our manufactured goods there. W'e shall jnit- more men at work. We shall build ships and cover the seas with our merchant marine. We shall carry intelligence and education to benighted lands. We ,-liall build a great port at the very i^alo\\ ay <>l' ('hina and share in t hat immense Asiatic trade for which Russia. (iemtany and Kngland are striving. This is the new, grand and momentous policy that opens up before us—it policy that will bo carried out if the Kepubliean party retains power. It is solely the policy of that party. To overthrow Republicanism in Pennsylvania ' and other States is to overthrow Republicanism in the nation and to despoil that nation of its vic tories. It is a national issue in New York, says the Hun, and there is no one to dispute that assertion except "l>ick" Croker and the yellow journal They dispute it in order that the plundering Tain many mob may enlarge its power to embrace the State as well as the city. And if it is a national issue in New York il is a national issue in Pennsylvania, and those who dispute it here are the selfish sell seekers who see in turmoil and strife and in the overthrow of Re publicanism some personal ad vantage to themselves. < ieorgc A. Jenks, Democratic candidate for Governor, is opposed to the policy of the McKinley ad ministration. lie is not only for free silver and free trade, but is the foe of the magnificent plans for commercial expansion which alone are fostered by the Republi can party. In these plans Dr. Swallow, the Prohibition candidate j sees nothing whatever. All that he looks forward to is the elevation of I)r. Swallow to office. It is useless for Mr. Wanamaker to raid : about the State and declare that he | is not opposed to McKinley, when he is using his best efforts to unite Populists, Popocrats, Democrats, I Anarchists and every foe of Re ! publican ism in a combination to defeat the Republican party at the j polls. That is what Mr. Wana maker is doing and he calls it a ! State issue. He will misquote 1 figures, and he will tell from the I stump that he has "heard" this and has been "informed'' that, and he will repeat all the obnoxious, exaggerated and thoroughly dis credited charges that have been going around for years, and he will deal with every dissatisfied ■ element which is opposed to the ! administration and to its splendid policies. What for? To aid Mc- Kinley? By 110 means, but to get revenge for his own defeats; and this is his State issue. There are no State issues that I demand attention. I'nder the Re publican party this State has grown and prospered until it has become ' an empire in all except the name. Its revenues are derived princi pally from corporations, and those ! revenues, with the exception of the small proportion that goes to the maintenance of the official machin ery, are turned back into the counties for public education and for public institutions. Nowhere in the I'nited States is there a better governed State than Penn sylvania. Personal spite and per sonal ambition have taken the stump, but personal spite and personal ambition should not lie able to lead any thinking man astray. It is absolutely necessary that Pennsylvania shall retain its proud posi tion in the Republican column and aid the President of the I'nited States to carry out to consumma tion the policies for the develop ment of our new possessions and for the advancement of our trade and commercial relations. These are the issues and the only issues before the people to-day, and they are magnificent issues, too. Let Jenks, and Swallow, and Wanamaker, and the Democrats, and the Populists, and Popocrats rave all they please, but they can not for one moment cast a shadow upon the only issue, that of the advancement and prosperity of Pennsylvania and the I'nited States of America. —Phila.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1898. Leach is Out for H. S. Quay. Philadelphia Inquirer Frank Willing Leach, who ii|> to a few months ago was the active political manager of John Wana maker, is out in an open letter de claring for Colonel M. S. Quay for I'lnted States Senator. In this document hi* reviews the entire situation and frankly gives Ins views for deserting the Wana maker party. lie says the alliances that are now being formed throughout the State in Mr. Wanamaker's interests are nothing more or less than alliances with the Democracy for the overthrow of Republicanism. Such alliances he charges, have been cunningly planned by the National Democratic Organization for the purpose of electing Demo crats to the next house of Congress and to the I'niteil States Senate. \s a Republican, Mr. Leach says, lie cannot afford to be identified with anv such movement. While he expresses his esteem for Colonel Quay, Mr. Leach does not hesitate to score some of his former lieutenants whose activity he declares drove him away from the Senator's ranks three \'ears ago. He also reviews the work of the last Legislature, which he says was no worse than other Legisla tures that preceded it. lie was the Wanamaker agent at Harrisburg during the last session and as such he knows the inside of all the legislation that was enacted. DEALS WITH DEMOCRATS. With this knowledge, he declares that Senator Quay could not in any sense of justice be charged with the sins of ommission and commis sion committed by that body, for the Senator did not pay the slight est attention to what was being done at Harrisburg, his time being taken up with his duties at Wash ington. In fact, Mr. Leach says, the trouble with the last Legisla ture was that Senator Quay "did not boss it enough." In speaking of Mr. Wanamaker he says that in 189G he believed that Mr. Wanamaker would make a splendid Senator and as such lie fought hard with him and for him inside the party lines. "1 could not," he continues, "follow Mr. Wanamaker into a Democratic alliance, having had a taste of that sort of thing in 1882, and secondly because I knew lie never could win in such a contest." In concluding, Mr. Leach says: "While urging that your friends refrain from personal abuse, as a method of campaigning, I do not lose sight of the fact that the chief weapons of your own opponents are slander and villi licatioii of the most vicious kind." [ln another column we publish the letter of Frank Willing Leach, in lull.]— En. PRESS. POLITICAL COriMENT. The opposition to Mr. Stone's candidacy for Congress, in the district, is more formidable on paper than in any other form. — Warren Mirror. •** The Democrats of Pennsylvania who insist that the present cam paign is to be fought out on state issues ought to explain what state issues have to do with the choice of two Congressinan-at-large. The Pittsburg Post frankly declares the purpose is to beat Quay by secur ing a majority of the state legisla ture, thus proving that the cat in the meal is after all the securing of a. Democratic United States senator and two democratic congressmen at-large—if they can accomplish it. It is written, however, that nothing Democratic will prevail this year. —Erie Dispatch. As has been understood in well informed circles for some time past, Hon. J. C. Sibley accepts the Democratic nomination for Con gress in this disti'ict. In his ad dress to the electors of the same lie says: "If elected it will be my aim to promote and support such legislation as will extend a wider field in which agriculture, com merce and industry may find markets for American products; to uphold all measures which tend to elevate and dignify us as a nation." Mr. Sibley is an avowed free trader which is all that the first proposi tion means. The stock argument of men who would destroy our home markets by the shutting up of our factories of every description and smothering the fires in our furnaces is "a wider field in which agriculture, commerce and indus try may find markets for American products." Mr. Sibley would "uphold all measures which tend to elevate and dignify us as a nation." Would the free coinage of silver "elevate and dignify us as a nation." There lias been 110 more persistent advocate of the I<> to 1 fallacy in this country than Joseph C. Sibley. He would es tablish for us a financial policy which would compel the working man to receive as a dollar that which would only buy liftv cents worth of the necessaries of life. Do the laboring men of this district want to be represented in Congress by a man who is wedded to that j character of a financial policy? It is not possible. Kane Republican. WASHINGTON LETTER. ( From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 1!>, 1898. Now that the Peace Commis sioners are well on their way to Paris, President MeKinley will complete the Commission to in vestigate the conduct of the war and will get it to work at the earliest possible moment. He thinks the Commission can do all its work in Washington, calling such witnesses as were in positions which enabled them to possess useful information; and he told one of the Commissioners that every communication sent or re ceived by the War Department would he made accessible to the Commission, and that tlie whole power of the government would be used to assist the Commissioners in getting at everything they de sired to know. The only desire that President MeKinley has in the matter is to show the people of the country just how the war was conducted, and at the same time discover the things in our present system that should be changed in order to get the best results. lie wishes nobody to be shielded and ! nobody to be persecuted. The jentlenien who have con , sented to serve on the Commission, I are so well known that no one : would question their report when !it is made. The words of such ; men as these always carries con j viction to the public: President j Oilman of John Hopkins I'nivers ; ity; lion. Charles Denby, for more ] than thirteen years I'. S. Minister i to China; Col. James A. Sexton, the newly-elected Cominander-in > Chief of the G. A. R.; Gen. Gran ville M. Dodge, who gained niili ! tary fame in the Civil War: Dr. W. W. Keen, whose achievements have placed him in the front ranks of the medical profession, not only of the United States, but of the world, and Capt. Evan P. Howell, formerly editor of the Atlanta Constitution. The lack of legal authority to compel witnesses to testify, is not regarded as a serious drawback to the Commission. Few witnesses called are likely to de aline to testify, when they know : that the President wishes them to i tell everything they know. The sessions of the Peace Com mission, to meet at Paris, Oct. Ist, are to be held in the famous "Salle des Ambassadeurs," the French Government having tendered the use of that apartment, in which have been enacted numerous inter national diplomatic dramas, when the meeting place of the Peace Commissioners was first announced. .1 ust previous to the departure of the American Commissioners from Washington, Hon. Win. R. Day, who heads the Commission tender ed his resignation as Secretary of State, which was accepted by the President, who then officially an nounced the appointment of Col. John Hay. recently Ambassador to Great Britain, to be Secretary of State. At the same time John Bassett Moore, who accompanies the Commissioners as adviser, tendered his resignation as First Assistant Secretary of State, and it was accepted. Secretary Hay, who will he in Washington inafew days will choose Mr. Moore's successor. The instructions given our repre sentatives on the Peace Commission has been a well kept secret. Sur mises have been plentiful, but there are no facts before the public. President McKinley says the policy of this government in the negotia tions of the treaty of peace with Spain will be recognized as thor oughly American when it becomes known, and that it will be endorsed by our people as a whole. More than that he does not deem it prudent to say at this time. The sensation mongers hardly got a chance to spread their im agination on the stories of such a serious situation at Manila that more American troops were needed, before the sensation was punctured by an official report from Gen.Otis, who is in command of our troops over there during the absence of Gen. Merritt, who is on his way to Paris to place the information in his possesion before the American Peace Commissioners, saying that no more troops were needed, and that the situation was satisfactory from an American point of view. Maj. General James 11. Wilson, who commanded a corps in the Porto Rican campaign, and who is now at his Delaware home 011 fur lough, said when asked for his views of the war: "1 have nothing to complain of. lam very much like tlie grave digger who, when asked while digging a grave, who had died and what was wrong, re plied: 'There ain't nothing wrong; everybody is satisfied'." Postmaster General Smith, who will deliver an address at the Omaha- Kxposition on Pennsyl vania day, has accepted invitations to deliver political speeches at Topeka. and Wichita, Kansas. on the 7th and Bth of October, and has under consideration, invita tions to make speeches in Nebraska ■ and Ohio, lie will accept as many j in vital ions as he can. There is already evidence that the democrats, in their anxiety to make political capital, have over done the criticism of the War De partment by spreading stories so ridiculously false as to carry their own refutation. Is will not be the first time that Democratic, campaign stories have turned out to be boom erangs.
