that he directly bribed citizens of Craw"

taking the oath of office he paid large
sums of money for the suppression of the
said memorial,
I charge that he took the oath of office
thereby committing the crime against

I charge also that during his services
in the Senate he attempted to alter a
public record by framing a conference
report on a bill before it had been proper-
ly considered, contrary to all rules and
practice, and signing or haviog had signe
ed the names of the committee, and in

ly constructed tariff bill. Mr. Edmunds
thinks it is criminal to expend twenty-
five or thirty millions in needless river
and harbor improvements, when there is
a certain prospect of a deficit of forty or
fitiy millions. He has also expressed
the opinion that the Finance Committee
has fumbled up the McKinley tariff bill

Hon. Chas, 8. Wolfe addressed a large
gathering of farmers, at Lewisburg, last
week. Having depicted in strong lan-
guage the great loss the farmers suffered
by the death of the famous revenue bill
unsigned in the senate, and also unsigns
ed by Governor Beaver, Mr. Wolfe said:
“When Mr, Pattison was governor he
had the courage to obtain an injunction
against the Pennsylvania railroad in its
purpose to buy up and absorb the South
Penn road. He had the courage to take
by the throat the freight pool and coal
combination, Toey were unable to face
the proceedings peading against them
in the courts. Their only escape wes to
elect a governor who would discontinue
the litigation. I would like to ask Gov-
ernor Beaver what has become of those
suits, Ia all his official aety Governor
Pattison had the honesty and the cour-
age to stand by the hoodwinked and op~
pressed farmer; against the chicanery
and arrogant oppression of corporate
power, and thereby incurred its bitter
hostility, The Republican leaders have
been the especial guardians of the cor-
porate interests, and while professing to
have very great concern for the farmer,
have been duping him and feeding him
on husks,
“The farmer and taxpayer would show
his wisdom and political sagacity, not by
voting for any man simply because he
was the candidate of his political party,
but because he wes the candidate who
was most likely to honestly aid in rescn
ing him from injustice and oppression
sod in securing to him his equal rights
before the law.”

Senator Delamater's Answer,
The question now addressed to me im-
plies that continued silence on my part
may be misinterpreted by certain good
cit’zens whose affiliations are with the
Republican party, As the candidate of
that party I cannot allow its interest; to
be prejudiced in the estimation of any
citizen by a refusal to answer any ine
quiry touching my personal and official
integrity and 1 take this occeeion to

The farming interests are uppermost
with the Democratic party, because its
strength has always come from that
quarter. The farming class have been
unfairly treated in many respects, neg-
lecied we should say, and can justly lay
cisim to that consideration from our law
makers which their numbers, impor.
tance and intelligence entitles them too.
The burdens of the farmer from taxa
tion should be lessened, The Democrat-
ic party sympathises with the grange
and the farmers’ alliance upon this sub-
ject. Monopolists have fed wpon the

rection.
