Vindicate Pennsylvania's Honor.
It is beyond the comprehension
of the deep thinking and intelli
gent voter who believes in seeing
an open and fairly conducted cam
paign, rather than one of abuse,
villification and defamation of
character as well as a whole com
bination of contemptible political
tricks and dodges, why those who
apparently are advocating a so
called reform and should be cham
pioning their cause (if they have
any) in an honorable manner on
the national and state issues, have
skillfully evaded t he latter method
and are waging a nefarious warfare
of slander, abuse, deceptive state
ments. and are daily culminating
carefully planned schemes and
dark laid plots for revenge.
To deliberately witliold for over
six months the information on
which Senator Quay and other
statesmen have been arrested, and
then, on the eve of an important
election, carefully waiting until it
was too late for them to procure
an impartial trial before election
had come and gone, to begin their
system of midnight arrests and sen
sational fabrications, forms a com
bination of circumstances which
stamps the whole affair as one of
the lowest and most contemptible
plots that ever blotted the records
of the proud old Keystone State.
Republicans of Cameron county
vindicate the honor of that grand
old Commonwealth in which you
reside and of which you are proud to
be known as a son,and resent with
your manly indignation and the
use of the ballot such despicable
means and treacherous acts as
have been resorted to by those
who claim to be partyleaders and re
formers, but who at heart are party
wreckers and villifiers, bent only
on revenge, and oilice spoils for
themselves.
Demonstrate your loyalty to the
flag and your confidence in Presi
dent McKinley by voting the
straight Republican ticket next
November.
Pennsylvania Kepublicnas, Stand by
ricKinley and the Flag.
President McKinley has been
making some magnificent speeches
in the West. He is a patriot of
patriots, says the Philadelphia In
quirer. lie fought for the Union
during the dark days of the Rebel
lion. Knowing what war is, he
did his best to bring Spain to terms
without a resort to arms, but when
Spain chose warfare he sent the
army and navy against her and
won a stupendous victory.
Glory to the American soldier
and sailor!
What we have won we must
keep! Wherever the American flag
has been painted it must remain.
That is the sentiment of the Re
publican party of Pennsylvania,
the sentiment of the Republican
party of the Union.
Ami yet, in this magnificent
State of ours, the great keystone
I ? 11:. ! there arcni-': -whocall
themselves Republicans who, be
cause of their hatred of a single
inan, are willing to hand the State
over to the foes of MeKinlev and
thus nullify all that lias been ac
complished.
We call Pennsylvania Republi
cans to stand by their President.
The war may or may not be over,
but if it is over, vast problems still
remain to be worked out. Govern
ments are to be established in the
captured islands of the seas. Com
merce is to be extended. Merchant
vessels are to be constructed.
Trade is to be enlarged. Can these
great questions be treated intelli
gently unless President McKinley
has the full backing of Pennsylva
nia and the other great Republican
Slates? The leader of the Demo
cratic party in Congress, Mr. Bail
ey, of Texas, would hand every
island back to Spain. Elect him
Speaker of the House, electa Dem
ocrat to the United States Senate
from Pennsylvania and turn the
now evenly-balanced Senate over
to the opposition, and down would
come the American (lag and back
would go the islands!
Is Pennsylvania prepared for
this?
All these great questions are
ahead of us. "They will not be
solved in a day,"says President
McKinley. ''Patience will be
required; patience combined with
sincerity of purpose and unshaken
resolution to do right, seeking only
the highest good of the Nation and
recognizing no other obligation,
pursuing no other path but that
of duty.
How is that path to be pursued—
how are we to maintain our right s
—if we give a hostile Congress to
McKinley, if Pennsylvania and
New York go Democratic? We
quote from President Mckinley's
speeehes the following paragraph,
weighted down with significance.
WHO WILL DARKEN THE
COUNSELS OFTHE REPUBLIC
1N THIS HOUR REQUIRING
THE UNITED WISDOM OF
ALL?
Who will darken the counsels?
Mr. Jenks will. Elect hiin as
Governor, elect Democratic Con
gressmen, elect a Democratic Unit
ed States Senator and you join with
Jenks, the foe of Republicanism,
in darkening llio counsels of the
Republic.
Dr. Swallow will. He sees noth
ing but bis own individuality in
this campaign. What are the great
issues confronting the Nation to
him? There has been extravagant
legislation, so he says; therefore,
Pennsylvania must pronounce
against McKinley!
.Mr. Wanainaker and bis follow
ers will. They are repeating from
the stump the irresponsible utter
ances of the Swallowcrats. They
hate Quay, and to bring about his
defeat they are making deals for
the Legislature with both Demo
crats and Swallowcrats. Cuba,
I'uerto Rico, the Philippines are
only incidents to them. The future
of the country is of less importance
than that who should control Penn
sylvania.
Such is the situation. The op
position to the Republican party—
the allied opposition—might with
justice be called the Spanish party,
for this combination is darkening
the counsels of the Republic.
Follow the President.
It is a relief, in the midst of the
broils engendered by personal spite
and personal ambition in Pennsy
lvania, says the Philadelphia In
quirer, to turn to the patriotic and
manly speeches of the President of
the United States. 111 Pennsylvania
we have, unfortunately, a few self
seekers who see in the situation
only their own personal interests.
They do not look ahead to the wel
fare of the Nation, or if they do
realize the great problems ahead
of us they are perfectly willing that
the national honor and the Nation's
prosperity should suffer, so long as
they gain a partisan victory.
"Let nothing distract us," says
President McKinley. "Let 110
discordant voice intrude to em
barrass us in the solution of the
mighty problems which involve
such vast consequences to ourselves
and prosperity.' 1
Yet here in Pennsylvania we
have the Swallowcrats and the
Wanamakerites engaged in a most
despicable warfare against Republi
canism. If their campaign should
be successful it would mean the
turning over of the State to the
Democrats, and the turning over
of the State to the Democrats would
mean the sending of an enlarged
Democratic delegation to Congress,
the election of a Democratic or
anti-Republican Legislature, and
the consequent selection of a Dem
ocratic United States Senator, a re
sult which would probably give the
Senate to the foes of McKinley.
No matter what varied persona I
interests allied foes of Republican
ism may have, the result when pull-
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1898.
ing together is a combination which
may very readily l>e termed the
Spanish |>art3', for its success would
strengthen the hands of that Demo
cracy which is opposed through its
leaders, to the splendid policies and
magnificent plans which President
McKinley has in view for the pros
perity of the Nation.
What else does President Mc Kin
ley say? Just this:
We must guard this restored Un
ion with zealous and sacred care,
and, while awaiting the settlements of
the war and meeting the problems
which will follow, we must stand as
one man, not in the spirit of party, but
united in a common effort for' that
which will give to the Nation its widest
influence in its sphere of activity and
usefulness to which the war has assign
ed it.
This is an appeal to the patriotic
sentiment of thepeopleof (lie Tint
ed States. It is a. rebuke to the
Swallowcrats and the Wauainaker
ites. It plainly tells them that
their petty interests should lie de
ferred until after we have settled
our differences with Spain. What
interests can Dr. Swallow or Mr.
Jenks or Mr. Wananiaker have
that are paramount to the future
of the Ilepublic? Let these men
have their way, and Pennsylvania
cuts loose from McKinley, cuts
loose from his Philippine and
Cuban policy, and leaves this mag
nificent old State, this rock ribbed
Republican State, stranded upon
the shoals of Democratic inefficien
cy and Democratic opposition to
the McKinley administration.
The Republican party in Penn
sylvania has nominated a ticket
that is honest from top to bottom,
it is perfectly capable of bringing
about all the reforms that are nec
essary. Colonel Stone as Governor
would give us the same honest ad
ministration that lie has given us
in Congress. The soldier boy who
went to war and who throughout
his public career since has left a
record which cannot be assailed,
and upon which all the mud bat
teries of the opposition have been
unable to leave even as much as a
stain, would see to it that the
honor and the integrity of his
native State were protected.
We can trust William A. Stone.
We can trust General Gobin. We
can trust every candidate on that
ticket, and when their election
means the indorsement of McKin
ley and all the aid that Pennsylva
nia can give to the development
and prosperity of the Nation, then
no man who has the welfare of his
country at heart should be led as
tray by the malicious attacks of
men who personal enmity would
destroy even the Nation's honor to
secure personal revenge.
