FROM THE BENCH TO THE RING {Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Oct. 27.—The most sin- gular and suggestive development of the present campaign is the fact that almost every intelligent and self-re- gpecting Republican one meets, either openly and indignantly repudiates the candidate of his party machine for gov- ernor, or sharply refuses to “talk poll- tics,” and turns away in transparent lisgust when his name {3 mentioned. In the whole history of Pennsylvania politics there has never been such a monumental failure, as his own advo- cate, as Pennypacker. Had he remain- ed upon the h, kept his mouth shut, looked wise and destroyed or se- curely hidden, every copy of the stupid and abusive Quay book he is respon- sible for, he would have polled thous- ands of votes, even as the pliant crea- ture of the boss, that will now be turn- ed indignantly against him. This is the sentiment everywhere expressed, even amongst those who have looked on from a distance, What the People Think. Face to face with the people the ex- has chilled his sup- porters, driven away the doubtful, fear- fully discredited himself with intelli. gent men, and unconsciously revealed his absolute lack of qualities de- manded in a high executive office and shown his pitiable subserviency to everything representing Quayism and all that it stands for. All sorts of ex- planations have been given, but the true one simply is, this man had been placed upon a pedestal where he did not belong. Self-stripped of the mask he has worn he now stands before the people, where he should feeble In intellect, destitute of high principles.

Instead, a series of rambling talks that would discredit a candidate for justice of the peace in Schwenks- ville, where the judge raises chickens and bonnyclabber. Let us rus resid. ly over some of the points raised in the great case of the people against the machine, Dodging Vital issues. It was charged that Quay set up Pennypacker because of the latter's personal devotion, past, present and future guaranteed, Not a word is said, however, in reply.

In reply, Judge Penny- packer quotes perfunctory approval Qf the routine work of a legal commission which codified laws and simplified practice, and then drops the curtain, saying: “We have nothing to do with the past.” It was charged that legislative can- didates were largely set up by a cor- rupt machine for selfish purposes. In reply, it was declared that these men represented the virtue and intelligence of the people, a statement that shows mental and moral obtuseness of an extraordinary degree. It was charged that the legislature was organized through open bribery. No reply. It was torial eiection rupt. No reply.

THE BALLOT REFORM ISSUE Pennypacker Dodges, While Pattison Points to His Official Record. Chairman Woodruff, of the joint committee for the Promotion of Elec tion Reforms, recently wrote to the two gubernatorial candidates, Messrs. Pen- nypacker and Pattison, concerning their attitude toward the ballot reform bill and personal registration bill ad- vocated by the joint committee, Mr. Pennypacker replied very briefly that ballot reform is & question to magnificent canvass, They have vis- ited neariy every county, mide about two hundred speeches each and faced upwards of 200,000 peopw., Such earnest and faithful work will tell im- mensely on election day. —— Sombp h h, Bee that every polling place Is well manned on election day and every vote brought out. This will mean a great victory for the pedple. wn of a committee appointed for that pur- 8e, PoThis letter is taken as meaning that the Republican candidate, before com- mitting himself, wants to know what will be done by Senator Quay’'s “Bal- lot Reform Committee,” or by Quay. In striking contrast with this saying of practically nothing on the main fs- sue of the state campaign is the follows ing, reply from ex-Governor Pattison to Chairman Woodruff: No Mistaking Pattison's Stand. “1 received your letter requesting as fully and clearly as possible my opin- fon in regard to the important gues- tions, ‘Ballot form’ and ‘Personal Registration. “Permit me to refer you to my inau- 1 address to the legislature in Jan- , 18981, when 1 recommended th Australian system for adoption, an Alto ‘personal registration.’ During the four years, in every message to the legislature, suggestions were made for the improvement of the ballot system $f our state, I would quote thess at sure Ie have them at . 1 will be pleased to % with copy. the same opinion as to x @ lot Ee etre foo ci Rev.
