Tener Must Speak Up.
[From Philadelphia Public fedger.]
It iz nearly time for Mr. Tener to
get into the campaign, with something
more pleasant than platitudes, if he
would not be pverlooked in the storm
and stress of current politica. In his
first speech of acceptance he prom
ised to say something at a later pe
riod. Thus far he has been repeating
the same speech, which relates wholly
to the proud record of the party and
the excellence of Governor Stuart's ad
ministration. This is very well as far
as it goes. but Governor Stuart is not
the present candidate, and even the
state policies which he has represent
ed are not so complete and fixed as tc
make his successor's attitude upon
them unimportant
Certainly a Promising Sign.
There is another promising sign
Democratically: The country is hear
ing less about the Macks, the Mur
phys, the Taggarts and the Roger Sul
livans, and more about the Gaynors
the Harmons, the Marshalls, the Bald
wing and the Wilsons — Washington
