Thomas B. Reed in a farewell letter
to the voters of his former district
makes a sly attack on McKinley's
Philippine policy. Hesays: *“What-
ever may happen, I am sure that the
first Maine district will always be true
to the principles of liberty, self-govern-

The issue in this State, to be decided
next month, is a square one, dishon-
esty, jobbery, plunder and higher tax-
€8, on one side ; or, economy and hon-
est government on the other. The
former is Quayism ; the latter is Crea-
found wanting.
Which will you choose ?

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 ?

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.
Bat neither this nor any other admin-
istration can wipe out the fact that it
was Schley, not Sampson, who de
stroyed the Spanish fleet off Santiago.

Its useless and horrible bird book,
$60,000 ;
Its padded pay rolls, $25,000,

Its allowing Quay and son Dick to
use hundreds of thousands of public
funds for private speculation in stocks
while hundreds of school teachers had
to wait long periods for their pay ;
Its plundering the State in the fit-
ting up of Grace Chureh ;
Its charging the Btate $25,000 for a
drunken junket to New York ;
Its spending a half million on a
fraud of a new capitol, which will be
remodeled to furnish the machine a
ten million job!

NEED NOT FEAR PHILADELPHIA.
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. The race is open to all comers
on equal terms. Were I to attempt to

ACTIVITY IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS.
“Farmer” Creasy, like a good cit
gen, took an active interest in the als
fairs of his county and distriet and
for four terms served as a school di
rector of his native township. 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
