VOL. LXXXVIL BRUMBSAUUN MANOIOAY., —————— Candidats of a Gang Rather Than of a Party Wil Do Penrose's Bidding, Dr. Brumbaugh enters upon the gubernatorial race handicapped by the fact that be is the candidate of & gavpg rather than of a party. He was brought oul by Vare, he was endorsed by Me¢Nichol, he is claimed by Pen. rose, McAfee and his side partner Bigelow will play star parts in hie campaign, These men are practical politicians. They are not guessing in this matier. They know that with Brunbaugh in the chair of the gov. ernor they will be the real rulers of the stale jaat as they were during the ad. ministrationa of Pennypacker, of Bituart, and as they are in Tener ’e administration. From a news story in the Ledger it is gathered that McAfee hopes to be etained In hls present position as secretary of the wvommonwealth if Brumbaugh is elected. He is not tak- ing anything for granted. He is pot the kiud of a politician wha takes any euch thing on trust. He koew that ag long as the candidate for governor was sslisfactory to Penrose, he would be taken care of. He koew that he is too valuable to Penrose to be lost in any game where the wioning hand is heid by thst getute boss, Dr. Brumbaugh eannot be ignorant of all this. Penrose is not guessing either, He would pot say that Brum- bsugh is satisfactory to him if he did |* not know the doctor would do what be wants done. Dr. Brumbaugh was pamed and pominsfed i: fl ienea ; if elected, be will be dom i- pa‘ed by Penrose ivflaeres, and ne one knows this better than he does. 8) this is the eitustion. The elec tion of Brumbaugh will probably mean the contiouation of McAfee as gecretary of the c.mmonwealth, and of Bigelow or some tool of the contractor gang as the head of the highway department, and Pen- rosie will dominate the slate as completely as it does now, Tuis is the condiiion the voters of the state. If they wieb more of the Me \Afees, more of the }* Rigelows, more of the Peuroses, more }J of the seandal which attaches to Lhese bosses, they v ill vote for Brumbsugh If they wish a clean, government and freedom from scandal, they must vole against him.
