The former is Quayism ; the latter is Crea- found wanting. Which will you choose ? ns fi A SA Colonel Barnett, Quay’s nominee for state treasurer against farmer Crea- 8y, says be will be under the orders of his political managers. These mana- gers within a year or two have ordered delay in the payment of school funds and appropriations to the State's be- nevolent institutions that there might be more money in the tressury for speculation and to shake the plum tree. Is that Colonel Barnett's platform ? ———— A sn ——— This may be a great administration, but one thing is certain, it can get down to smaller and meaner acts than any administration has ever thought of, one of which is in keeping Commo- dore Schley away from the Dewey cel- ebration and sending Sampson there.

With this basis of reasonable hope for routing the machine cohorts in “the country” we have unprecedented antagonism fo Quayism in Philadel- phia, while in Allegheny resides the chief of the insurgents, Senator Flinn, whose profession of support for the ticket the Quay managers regard as a joke, and another anti-Quay senator, Mr. Magee. Nearly all the principal Philadelphia Republican daily news- papers commend the Democratic can- didates, and most vigorously condemn the Quay machine in expressions of hope for its annihilation. ‘the utmost confidence in the present honored management of the Demo- cratic party has been voiced by the anti-Quay Republican press, particu larly in Philadelphia, it was the well founded hope of “the country” for Philadelphia that made Pittston ine vincible in 1852 and in 1850. Philadel phia Democrate today are united and harthonious in consequence of the wise local leadership as applied to the pres. ent county ticket. The Democrats there are as one man, and the Quay machine is opposed within the Repub. lean party by a power greater than ever before confronted it. Why, then, should thse Wonest “country” fear this year for Philadelphia? Let the rest of the story speak for itself. er SKETCH OF CHARLES J. REILLY. The following narrative of the inter esting and honorable career of a con- spicuously self made man, Charles J. Reilly, candidate for judge of the su- perfor court, is from the forthcoming publication of the procsedings of the Democratic state convention, compiled by J. W. Moyer, secretary of the state committee: “One of the chief glories of our in- stitutions has ever been the fact that, no matter how high or humble a begin- ning one may have had, they afford all persons an equal opportunity to rise in the scale of excellence from the lowest to the highest position of In- fluence and power in the gift of the people.

In 1893 he was asked to accept the office of mercantile appraiser, and faithfully served in that capacity during his term of office, In 1894 by the urgent request of his many friends he became a candidate for the legislature, received the nomi- nation and was elected, He was re nominated in 1896 without opposition, and again elected. Although the rule in Columbia coun. ty is to give only two terms to ita members, in Farmer Creasy's case it was set aside and he was forced to ac- cept a third term, and in 1808 was again unanimously nominated and elected, Mr. Creasy’s ability and in tegrity had become well known to the Democracy of the state, and the Demo- cratic press with nent men of that party, th out the common« wealth, urged his co to re- turn him again to the legislature, so 3 the in the ition he oting much atte stork ratatng grow was the oric Rocks,” and first sm Bquare Garden, 1886 prize the in and besides rocoly lending after trusted champion on the floor whom the minority could depend upon as a zealous and faithful leader in the struggles for better government, ACHIEVEMENTS AS A LEGISLA- TOR.
