The statements contained in this communica- tion are wholly untrue, and have no foundation whatever. We are highly gratified that his party have placed Frank in nomiaation for such a responsible posi. tion, and feel that he would make a com. petent and feitufull official.

Avaxs Sworn and subscribed before me, Oct 18, 1890, J. Muza Gregy, Justice oft he Peace, st Ap The examination of Candidate Dels amater’s record, exposed his utter hypoo- risy in posiog as a champion of Amerie can labor, when asa senator, he has op~ posed every measure ever introduced in its interest, or for its amelioration, He voted against the bill to abolish company, or “pluck-me” stores; he did oot vote at all upon the factory inspecs tion act, nor upon the bill to regulate the dockage of coal in the anthracite regions; the senate judiciary committee, of which be was a leading member, reported ad- versely upon the bill to compel the semi- monthly payment of wages, the bill to regulate convict labor, and the act to make election days legal bolidays—in short, against each and every measure which was introduced in the interest of the workingman, That Senator Delamater might have honestly and conscientiously opposed some of these bills; that be might hon estly and covscientiously favor monopoly and oppose the interests of the great mass of the people, just as the czar of Russia favors absolute monarchy and op~ poses the progress of Democracy, none will deny. But what can be thought of a man who has deliberately made for himeell a record like thie, and who is at the pressnt moment claiming through his organs and through hundreds of thousands of circulars industrionsly dis- seminated throughout the state, that he is now, and always has been, the especie al champion of each and every one of these measures inthe ianteerest of the laborer ? Is it possible that any honest men can, in the light of these facts, vote for the Republican candidate ? ri i ——— Some of the Republican organs st tempt to deny the charges of Mr. Emery that Delamater is corrupt and guilty of, bribery. Why we have later proofs than given by Emery, and sn abundance of them, for does not every Hastings Republican know that within four months Delamater bought up enough of Hasting's strength to defeat the latter. Gen. Hastings, even, will not deny this, 0d it is a notorious fact known to every intelligent man in the state, Hastings was the choice of the Repub- liean masses but by bribery hots ic wou hin nomination, Dany Wyn Mono Vote the B true to Republican principles, a man With neh & round. a4 Delamater Poor Consamers Suffer. The New York World prints a second article from David McKeever, a New York merchant of high standing, on the increased prices the poor will have to pay for common wear of clothing under the McKinley bill. “The actoal additional cost to the ime porters on the various articles used by men and women for clothing purposes is from 25 to 60 per cent more than under the old tariff, but the actual advance ask- ed to day by the importers is only from 12% to 25 per cent, But this is only for to-day, because no man is willing, after his stock at a low price is closed out, and and if he is to pay the additional cost on the new stock, to sell at such a small ad- vance, “The enhanced cost of all the cheaper grades of textile fabrics used by either men or women will fall on those who are| less prepared to pay it namely, the poor | consumers, Every article that may be! classed among the necessaries of life is increased over 33} per ceut on an aver-| age, while the luxuries remain about the i i I same. The workingman’s wages are not and will not be increased one iota, where as there is not laboring man in the coun- | try whose expenses will not be increased from $30 to §60 a year. “This may look very small to the mill ~) ionaires, but $60 a year to the working-|, man means 30 days’ wages given for noth. ing as the workingman's time is his capital and what he loses in time means his loss of capital. Every working girl who earns $4 or $5 or 88 a week will feel the increased tax, without a dollar of bene- fit to her. The sirongest advocate of the bill would not dare to claim that a shop girl's wages would be advanced from $5 to $6 a week because it will cost her sat least $1 a week extra to clothe hereself under the McKinley bill as well as she could have done under the old bill. “The result of the entire matter will be that the consumer, and by the con- sumer 1 mean the workiogman, must of necessity do with fewer goods and less exchanges of clothing than heretofore. It under the present rate of wages the workiogman has been simply able to keep himself and clothe his family, he certainly cannot afford to give 30 days of his labor for nothing to simply keep himself as he has been doing up to this time. It may be a little while before the working class realize the effect of the MeKinley bill on them, but when they do realize that and see in actual facts that which has hitherto cost them $5 will now cost §6 they will rise an masse and demand the repeal of such an iniquitous law, that not ouly fails to protect our in- dastries, but impose a wholly unnegsss sary burden on the poorer classes. “To-dsy they have prac tically prohibit ed 60 per cent of the cheap classes of goods, The consumer of that 60 per cent must pay the enhanced value to either the manufacturers or the importers. The importer, if he has to pay the enbanced valoe, must change his prices according- ly. The manufacturer has got to pay so much additional cost on his raw material that he is no better off than the imports er, 80 that the consumer is the only suf. ferer. “The cotton cloths wota by the farm laborer, which heretofore paid a duty of 85 per cent, pays to-day 115 per cent, whereas the clothes worn by the mill- ionaire are raised from 50 per cent. to 60 per cent, while the daty on black alpaca, which imitates the silk and is worn by the poorer classes, is raised from 62 to 101.” rs ———— I A SS In Washington the Republicans prac- tically acknowledge they have no hope of re-electing McKinley. They are very downcast over this, especially the cham- pions of protection, The reports they receive from McKinley's distriot show that the brass band aod circus poster campaign the Republicans are making has not bad any perceptible effect on the staunch Democrats of the district, The Republicans are now only working to keep the majority against McKinley down to a reasonable figure, The Dew oeratic congressional committee is in a confident mood. Reports from Con- necticut and Massachusetts are very en - couraging. “Parson” McKinney of New Hampshire is confident of his election. Io Maryland, Rayner and Compton, it is said, have a certainty, and Mr. Meo Comas's district is considered very doubtful, In Virginia, it is expected to carry certainly all the districts except the Beoond and Fourth, and possibly the Becond will go Democratic owing toa Republican split, George Wise is con. sidered safe in the Richmond district. In North Carolina the Repablicans car ried three districts in 1888, The Second and Fifth, which had Republican major ities of Tess than 700 in 1888, are regar- ded as certain for the Democrats this| year, ES —— en There is an earnest tilt going on bes tween Strobm mén and Kanes men as Delamater Shown up. HENSBEL'S GRAVE CHARGES, More than a month ago it was public. ly eharged in derogation of the Republi can candidate for governor, that he had been guilty of an official misdemeanor, which not only technically disqualified him for the office he songht, but which disclosed such moral weakness as to in- vite upon him the condemnation of the state, To this he responded with the promise that he would publish the opins ion of some Pniladelphia lawyers to the effect that although he had while a state senator, used and made profit ont of state moneys, he was not office of governor; and times and in divers places, dropped sen tences in his speeches indicating that, in bis view, he hal the right, head of a private banking house, to have and juse moneys out of the state while be was a senator, withont subjects ing himself to the penalties of the law forbidding that practice He Las never published the opinions that he promised would forthcoming. The nearest approch to the | realization of bis pospectus is an “open letter” that has been printed, purporting ito have addressed by C. Btuart Pattison { Esq., Mr. Henry C. Lea, While I no desire to intermeddle in their correspondence—Mr. Lea is quite able to take care of himself and his antagonist— Patterson ineligible to the has, at varions as the treasury, ) 1 egal be to Ave with much ioterest. I know no one who is more skillful io the attempt to make the worse appear in the better cause than Patterson, What he cannot say for Delamater must remain unsaid, WHAT TREASURY BOOKS SHOW He says io the first place: “It bas never been a secret that the funds of the stale were deposited with the banking firm of Delamater & Co. They were so deposited for many years before Mr. Del- awmater became senator, and the amonnt of those deposits have been from month to month publicly reported by the state treasurer during all the time that firm tas been a state depositary.” It is inconceivable what the conceals ment or openness of the transaction has (0 do with the case, Dut as 8 matter of fact, the assertion that ‘the ammount of these deposits has been from mouth tw by the state the «me that firm been a slate depositary,” is untrue, When 1 first calied attention to the mis demeanor of Senator Delamater 8 month ago, 1 myself was not aware of the whole extent of his offending. I gave him credit for having ceased to be a deposit. ary of the state fands on July 1, 1880, about the time he began his canvass for governor, Tue persons 1 had sent to the commissioners of the sinking fond, to ascertain is depusitaries, were denied whe information sought, Bat on last Weduesday 1 went 10 Harrisburg wyself and demanded an inspection of the res cord, which: the law says shall be open to every citizen, and although those in charge refused 10 allow me to make a copy of it, 1 saw, with my own eyes that in the very month Deismater's $50,000 deposit of geveral funds was taken away from him, he got a loan of $100,000 from tue sinking end; he bas hgd it ever since and bas it now. This fact has not been “publicly reporied by the state treasurer.” Ou the other hand his col. reagu cs have igorned the law requiring them to publish it, and bave tried to conceal and withbold it irom the public, This deposit «as not made “years be- fore Delamater became senater,” but it is a fresh loan, made by him himself since be became senator, and made to him, at bis request, because be was sena- tor and in flagrant violation of the cons stitution and the law. CANDIDATE DELAMATERSS GUILT, I will not believe natil their opinions are published, that ever “Mesars, John G. Johnson, Bispham, Ho liingsworth, George Junking, J. Levering Jones and Carson concurred in advising him that the cons itutional provisions did not for bid the deposits of state funds with Dela- mater & Co, during his term as senator.” Who autborized them or Mr, Patterson to rewrite or unwrite the constitution ? It says in plain and unmistakable language: “Tue making of profit out of the public moneys, or using the same for any pure pose not authorized by law, by any offi. cer of the state or member of the general sssembly, shall be a misdemeanor, and shall be punished as may be provided by disqualification to hold office for a period of not less than five years.” Delamater got this money originally, while he was a senator. He used it and is making $6,000 a year profit out of it. How can he escape the constitutional pebalty ? Mr, Patterson suggests that this provision was “adopted in order to " Drovaut —oricials from LEE s of Las ‘New Tariff’ Literature, For practical arguments on the tariff question nowadays consult business ecir- culars and the newspaper advertising of business houses. For example, it is the contention of the friends of a protective tariff that the duties on imports are not paid by the consumers in the United States. Bat the great dry goods house of Btrawbridge & Clothier announce in their advertisement October 17 that. The new Tariff law which went effect October 6 will of course resull in advance of prices on into an Joreign goods of al- most all descriptions, Hera follows a very argument which we find in the advers tisement of Mr. E, O, Thompson, a Chest unt street dealer in clothing compact tariff Ve have now in stock this sesson’s im- portations, and we offer them Tarigl prices.

The ruling is decidedly disap pointing to fhose who expected it to sustain exs isting probibitory liquor laws, The decision was rendered by the United States Circuit Court, sitting at lopeka, Kas, and in effect declares that the Wilson bill enacted by Congres. does not restore the power of the Kansas prohibitory law as against original package saloons; that while the States are allowed to legisiate against original package business, present laws are not valid, Kansas will, therefore, have to begin de novo in order to shut out the objece tionable package traffic. i if any thing should damn the vile Gazette in the syes of all decent Repub- licans, it is the constant grist of low, vil- lanous slanders it has been in the oon stant habit of printing against honest and inoffeusive Democrats, which have all along been proven as lies by sworn statements from proper parties. Bhame that the Republican party has such a sheet! The latest slander it spread was against the charscter of Mr. Adams, can. didate for commissioner, which is utter by refuted in another column by the sworn statement of the iather, moth~ er, brothers and sisters of Mr, Adams.

The following letter bearing the signa- ture of Chairman Andrews of the Re. publican State Committee, was written in answer to an inquiry from Chairman Adams of the Camberland county Re- publican committee, as to the propriety of asrenting to the proposition from the Democrats for Pattison and Delamater to meet in joint debate in Carlisle on 24, when both are billed to be in town: Dear Bir: As Ex-Governor Pattison has been aiding and abetting a campaign of personal slander and abuse spainst the head of the Republican Btate ticket and other Republican leaders of the State and has refused to conduct the campaign upon the grave national and Btate issues involved, you will please de- line the invitation for a joint debate. As Mr. Pattison recognizes no issues it would be useless to meet him upon top~ which iepublican candidates diecuss and which be ignores. The Re- publican campaign cannot be silowed to degenerate into one and personal abuse, Wirtiax H. AxprEws whairman Republi ican State Comuni flee, But the most disgracefal feature of the letter is its utter and palpable falsity. Pattison bas never yet uttered a sentence this campaign reflecting character of Delamaler, cusations made sgainst Delamater by Republicans of prominence and ability equal to his own have never been cussed by Pattison; on the contrary, he has been exceptionally dignified, courtes ous and manly in every utterance he has nade, and to skulk behind the falsehood thet Pattison “bas been aiding and abet ting a campaign of personal slander and abuse,” is simply an unmixed {ilsehood, and a falsehood that is appare intelligent citizen of the State. Delama- ter isn't likely to escape defeat in this contest, but that is no reason why a set of blockheads or faithless managers should disgrace him.

Since the campaign opened, on September 1, there has been a steadily increasing tide in Pattison’s favor. “We feel very sure there will be more than 10,000 Republican votes for Pattison in Philadelphia. Mr. Quay has sdmitt- ed that Delamater will come to Philadel- phia without any majority, and that all the wejority he will have in the State is that which Philadelphia gives. We ex- pect Mr, Pattison to come to Philadel. phia with a rousing majority.
