He knows Pattis-on. — Senator Quay has proven that he is too big a man to be bossed by the Republi~ can party of this state—that’s all, SATION When Dick Quay got to the Republican convention at Harrisburg, he wasn’t slow to tell that “Delamater is pop’s can- didate.” The supreme court of Minnesota has decided that a photographer has no right to sell copies of a photograph without permission of the sitter.

EA COW R Ji for a The Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph, a leadiog Republican organ, is not porting Delamater, and has a leaning for the election of Pattison. There are many Republicans of the same sort, Wharton Barker, a leading Philadel phia Republican, with his paper, The American, is opposed to Delamater and favora the election of Pattison. Our granger friend Wash. Campbell, a life long Republican, is one of many Ceatre county Republicans, who takes no stock in Delamaler,and thinks Pattison is the man. sup- I OE T——— Philadelphia the “city of homes,” over- whelmiogly Republican always zealous for u little more tariff, seems to be onthe down grade iu comparison with the other great cities ol the couns try. There was a time when Philadel phia was the first in population; to-day, according to the unofficial census re taras, it must make way for Chicago and retire to a third place. In 1870 Phila- delphia led every American city in man- ufactures. In 1880 it was overtaken by New York. Fifty years ago Philadel- phia led the cities of the Union in com~ merce; to-day it holds fifth placa, Does protection protect ? and All European countries are being stirred to retaliatory measurss by the probability of the McKinley tariff passe inz.

It will be in. creased to 750000 by the bills recently passed, It the entire population is 66, 000,000, about one person in eighty- eight of the popnlation receives a pen: sion, and tlhe amount so appropriated is about $224 for every person on the rolls this year. Out of all the money raised by customs, interpal faxes and mies callaneous receipts for the benefit of all the people, nearly ball is paid over to one-eighty-eighth of the people, and a little more than one-ha'f is expended for all other natioval purposes. Yet there are farther bills proposed, and clamorously urged by pevsion agents, which would take out of the treasury about $2,000,000,000 more. The Tribune thinks it time to say that this is going too far.” Pattison for Governor. The nomination of Pattison for gover- nor, is acceptable to Democrats generally, and receives the endorsement of those Republicans who do not feel like wears ing the yoke of boss Quay and his corpo- ration eandidate, Delamater, We favored the nomination of Wm. A. Wallace, on acconnt of his great ability, his devotion aud service to the party, and his unsullied public and private record, which drew the Democratic leaders to his support, and would have secured his nomination but for the ery that the pop- ular choice was Pattison. Mr. Pattison made a most excellent governor, and will be as good a one again, for his election is certain. If the anti. boss element in the Republican party and the agricultural element of our coms monwealth vote their sentiments and in favor of their interests at the polis, there should be nothing in the way of giving Pattison a majority of 50,000 and upward. If the farmers of the state are sincere in their ery [or relief, they should now cast their ballots for Pattison en masse, or forever hold their peace. There is no backing down from this position, and the resnit in November will show whether they are true to their interests and voted as they talked. The entire grange support has been promised for Pattison, by men at the bead of that order, and who pretend to speak for it. We look to see that prom- ise fulfilled, Not alone the Democratic vote in the grange, which is and was all right for who might be the nominee of the Scranton convention but the assure ance has been given by grange leaders that the Republican members of the ore der were ready to vote for Pattison if he became the Democratic standard bearer. Let there be no backing out here and a spectacle of a bollow sham. As between Pattison and Delamater, no farmer, no mechanic, no business man or laborer, need hesitate one mins ate as to which one is deserviug his sop port. The former is your friend, the latter represents an element that is your foe. Af fi a— The New York Independent is the ablest, as it is the most influential of the politico-religions press of the country, and almost invariably sides with the Re- publican party, But the Independent re- fases to consider the resolution of Senator Quay's convention. It says: It is known to everybody in the Uni. ted States who belongs to the reading public that the gravest chirges have beea publicly made and strongly sup ported against Senator Quay. These charges involve the cornmission of crime. It is alleged that when he was State treasurer, on two different occasions, he took large amounts of money from the State treasury and invested it for his own purposes, On one of these occa gions the investment was successful, and the money was retarned. On the other occasion the investment was not saccess- ful, and certain wealthy men, it is said were appealed to help him out of the difficulty. To save a party scandal they advanced him the money, and it was re- stored to the State treasury. These are, in substance the charges, and they are given with such particular. ity of details, with names, dates, places aod circamstances, that if they were not true it would have been an easy matter to expose their falsehood. They bave not been specifically denied. nl AI, MAS It was not long ago that Mr. Emery a Republican leader, made a political speech in which these specific charges were made: “lI charge that Delamater purchased his election to the senate of this state in 1886; that be directly bribed citizens of Crawford county to vote for him at the general election, and that when a meme orial had been contemplated to prevent him from taking the oath of office he paid large sums of money for the supe pressioa of the said memorial. “I charge that he did take the oath of office, thereby committing the crime against the good name and the statutes of the commonwealth. “I charge also that daring his sevices in the senate be attempted to alter a public record by framing a conference report on a bill pefore it had been pro~ perly considered, contrary to all rules and practice, and signmg or haviog had signed the names of the committee, and in 80 doing offended the dignity of the legislature and law of the common. wealth. “I make these charges without fear of contradiction, and court an action at law whereby I may set my proof before the people oathsbound ” This be plain talk and it cannot be ig- nored by any republican newspaper that wants to Jay claim to a grain of in~ dependen co, Cs a AM II « Big stock of new suits, for spring at Lowins, head quarters for low prices | and genuine goods—no shoddy or ave tion stock. Tue Philadelphia Branch always leads. 3 i 3 The Platform. The following is the platform adopted at Scranton, by the D:mocratic conven- tion: The Democracy of Pennsylvania, by their representatives in state convention assembled, renewing their former pledges of fidelity and devotion to the sacred rights of the people and state, do de clare: First. That ballot reform is necessary and to this end we recommend the adop tion of such a system as the Australian ballot law. Becond. That tariff reform is neces gary, in order that both producers and consumers may be relieved from the burden of unnecessary taxation, Third, That state and local reform is necessary in order that the taxation for county, municipal and township pur. poses may be equally adiusted and the unjust discrimination against land rem- died, Fourth, That the law reqniring that the surplos in the state treasury shall be invested in state or United States bonds must be observed and execatep, Fifth. We invite comparison of the courage, fidelity and integrity of the ad- ministration of Grover Cleveland with the duplicity, vacillation and corrupt sur- roundiugs of the present federal admin. istration, Sixth. The silence of Mr. Quay under the charges which have been made against him throggh the public press can only be interpreted ss a confession of his guilt and his retention of a seat in the United States senate, while refasing to demand a legal investigation of these charges is a national scandal, We accept the issue of Quayism as now tendered by the Re- publican state committee and convene tion. Seventh. We arraign the Republican party for its usurpation of power in the administration of the federal govern. ment; for plsciog in the chair of the house a speaker who has been enabled by them to become a dictator, and to usurp the power of legisiating for the representatives of the whole people; for its open disregard of the provisions of the civil service law, which the president of its choice was solemualy pledged to support; for its ceaseless efforts to pros mote sectional strife and disturb the business tranquility of the country; for its lavish and reckless expenditures of public moneys; for ils passage through he house of representatives of a tariff bill which increases the taxes on neces essaries, reduces oaly those laid upon luxuries and is calcalated to promote sad foster trusts; for its failure to enforce the contract and paovper labore. s; for ita at tempta to pass a federal election law de signed to excite a race war; for its dis- crimination and legislation against the agricultural interests, which has greatly reduced the value of farm land; for ita indifference to the rights of labor, its de- feat of the labor bills in the last legisla» ture, and its failure to enforce articles 16 and 17 of the coastitation by proper le g» isiation. Eighth. We sympathize with the res latives and friends of the victims of the appalling disaster at the Hill Farm mines and demand of the legislature the prompt enactment of additional measures for the more effectual protection of the lives of miners. Ninth. We commend favorably to the consideration of our senators and repre- sentatives in congress, the claims of the citizens of our borber counties for losses sustained daring the rebellion. Recalling with pride the glories of our its present strength aud looking forward to its steady triumph throughout the country, we confidently appeal to the in. telligence of the people of Pennsylvania for their active and enthusiastic support of the political reform this day inscribed upon the standard of a united, progres. sive and aggressive Democracy. sm letter to Congress with his approval, A miracle, indeed | not the effete monarchies of Earope, The Blaine draws it here. ciple of protection so prominent in the Chicago platform of 1888, which reads: “We ars unoompronsingly in favor of the American system of protection |” We protest against its destruction. Its aban- donment has always been followed by general disaster to all interests except those of the usarer and the Sheriff— what becomes of that noble and heavens bora principle, eh ? . Well, that's the miracle. That is to say, the miracle consists of a little plain Democratic through the Republican brain. You wouldn't have thought it possible in 1888, but in | 1800 there it is. ii k JULY 10, i890, | Ewart’s Patriotic Protest. | The eloquent and fearless protest of Congressman Ewart, of North Carolina delivered in the House on Saturday agaiost the new Force Bill known as the Federal Election measure, should make every honest Republican in Congress and every patriotic Republican of the country demand the abandonment of revolution- ary interference with elections in the States. Itis a Republican protest against a Republican caucus measure, and there is no pretense that Mr. Ewart has heen inspired to hostility by any political ‘dis- appointments. Mr. Ewart is a native Southerner and has been a consistent Bepublican since he attained his majority some twenty vears ago. He is a son of South Carolina graduated at her best University, and located in North Carolina when ad mitted to the bar in 1872, Since then he has been honored by appointment to the Register in Bankruptey by the Bupreme Court; by two elections to the office of Mayor of his city; by election to the Leg- islature; by a nomination for President tial Elector, and by two nominations and one election to Congress in his district, tle is no disappointed jobbing carpet bagger or scalawag; on the contrary, he) i# a cultured and respected citizen and] one of the few Republicans of the Bouth who size up to statesmanship, And the testimony of this able, honest and courageous Republican as to the race question and elections in the Bouth, is simply the exact snd the whole truth, He declares not only that the elections in the south are fair as elsewhere, but he pronounces the caucus Federal election bill to be “as damovable and vicious a piece of legislation as ever was put on the statute books.” Buch a measure app lied to such a people, Congressman Ewart de. clares must defeat the Republicans in the! by a German in Dabomy: Dr. Bayol South, and he prediets that it would | himself was not illstreated but was for- create “riot, rapine and disorder.” Heced to witness the most horrible execn- states the truth as it is known to every (tion +, and was closely watched night and intelligent observer of Southern politics,|day by three of the most important when he esys that many colored men chiefs.

From this deserved ending of his criminality he was saved by Don Cameron, else he might now be pegging shoes or picking ocakum is a striped sai instead of being at the head of the Ree publican party of Pennsyivania, Such is a man who controlled the cons vention at Harrisburg on Wednesday which nominated Delamater. The latter is the candidate of his party through the will of one maa and be the worst of his kind. Quay’s record has beeu made familiar to the public by the New York World in its famous published in The Democrat not long ago. It was a terrible arraignment of guilt and stands nndenied and undisproved to thisday. Now what sort of a candidate must Delamater be, who is hand and glove with Quay in all his schemes? Why should Quay have picked out this man Delamater to be his intimate and factotum, if the latter is a clean man ? Even a dog is known by the company he keeps, and one cannot touch pitch and not be defiled. Mr, Del- amater stands in the position of being the candidate of the greatest political villian in the United States, It is a very bad position to occupy, for the bad odor of his master must cling to his skirts also. Senator Delamater has never done a solitary thing to entitle him to the Goy- ernorship of Pennsylvania, unless taking Farmers out for Patilson, The first steps are being taken to or- Pattison. Washington, Pa,, Becretary of the Penn- sylvania Farmers’ League, on Saturday sent out an address to farmers, in which he says: “All other industries are controlled and their welfare is protected by organis zation, by the concen tration of the ins fluence of all interested for their specific objects, The great success that has been gained by trusts, syndicates, corporations and stock compaines, not only proves the great power of organized effort, but also points out the way for farmers to meet successfaly the depressed condition in their own busivess, Over- burdened with an unjust proportion of taxes, our products nearly all depressed in value by competition with unlawful counterfeits and adulterations—there is no help for us but to help ourselves, to organize and a8 one man demand that these wrongs shall be righted; to dems and that the burdens of the government shall be borne alike by all classes of pro- perty. We have the power through our votes. Let us concentrate them and succeed. If the welfare of your family and your. self is what you most desire; if the credit and honor of your chosen calling is worth the active support, The Farmers’ league is an organization of long standing, and has many influen- tial member; but it has never taken hand in a state campaign. This year the organization will be strengthened in every county, and its influence given to Pattison. a -———— A Paris letter furnishes the following narrative of sickening sights witnessed whom he recognized as proteges from Port Nova, but the King angrily refosed to allow it. Every day his dusky mas jesty danced before the Doctor, execu~ ting steps and jumaps which would have circumstances, At these times King wore sandals and a sort of a Gre. cian csp on his head, and six Amazons danced with him, tore it into pieces in a few seconds; then each, with a piece of raw flesh their turn comes, not sign the letter written to the Presi. company, the great monopoly that to the position. But the very fact that poisoning. be is Quays candidate ought to blast him, He who votes for Delamater voles for Quay. The twain are one, Keep it bes fore the people that the Crawford county Senator is Quay’s nominee.~Lock Haven SA 1 MY I The Senate, this week, had somthing like the following for ite program: Benator Frye's shipping bills, upon which & vote was not taken last Tuoesday because of the lack of a quorum, are un~ finished Susiness upon the senste eal endar for 8, and he proposes to have them disposed of without further delay. He will then ask to have the river and harbor bill taken up, This bill, with the amendments which the committee on finance has suthorized Mr, F rye to offer carries a total appropriation of about $23,000,655. and he says it is best bill of the kind ever prepared. Two days, he thinks, will be sufficient for its considera, tion. Benator Morrill, chairman of the committiee on finance, will endeavor to to have the tariff bill made the order of business after the shipping bills are out of the way, The indications, however, are that the river and barbor bill will be the first taken up, The tariff bill, it is understood, will be in charge of Senator Aldrich. If the river and harbor bill gets the right of way it is more than probable that the tariff debate will not begin in earnest until a week as there are three appropriation bills to come bes fore the senate this week, one of which, the sundry civil, is likely to precipitate a debate of some length, The Federal election law, devised by “Johnny” Davenport of New York, in connection with the Reeds and Rowells, Qusys and Chanlers, the Gazer declares has “no other purpose than to provide for an honest and full expresson of the will of the voters.” To do this, partisan election bill provides for a partisan Re publican returning beard in every cops greesional district of the Union—330 in all, Think of that! 330 partisan boards dominated by the Quays and Dudieys of the party. By a provision of the bill the clerk of the house would be subject to a penaity of from $1,000 to $5,000 if he should fail to place upon the roll of the bouse the name of the person declared to have been elected by these partisan re turning boards in case there should be a difference in the result reached by then and by the State election officers. When & man talks of these methods being in the interest of an honest election he writes himself an idiot or a knave says the Pittsburg Post, Important. Those to whom we lstely sent bills and failed to respond, certainly come short in a matter of importance and das tytous, We trust they will figure on the amount from the label on the newspaper and oblige by remitting at once and save the necessity of repeating the uns pleasantness of a dan, ——————— po.
