There Is a current saying that of u man
it is asked in Boston, what docs l;c know V
in New York, what is he worth? in Phila
delphia, who was his father ' The per
sonal character and oOlcial worth of our
candidate alike invite inspection by any
one or all of these tests.
ItouGRT .Emory Pattison, the only
Democratic candidate for governor in
'Pennsylvania, and the one who pro
poses,, when "chosen for the office by
the people, to perform it's duties to their
satisfaction," was born on the Sfh day of
Decepibcr, A. D. 1850, at Quunlico, Somer
set county, JVfd. For the piace of his birth
there is no apology needed further than
that he "had to be born fcomewhere," as
Andrew. Jackson, of Tennessee, said of
himself, in answer to the taunt that-Wux-luiw.
North Caroliua, was his own humble
birth place, itself in name, like rntlison'o,
suggestive of aboriginal origin. Indian
names arAnumerous on the Eastern Slioie
of Maryland which has also been called
by a recent writer in Harpers .Wuffuznu.
"A Peninsula Canaan;" "a land of rivers of
Waters. ' One of these gives name to the
new couuly of Wicomico, bet off fiotn
Somerset a few years ago, iu which is loca
ted the little town of Quantico.
That was the first place to which the late
Rev. Robert H. Pattison, D. D., for many
years graud chaplain of the grand lodge
of Masons In Pennsylvania, was appoint
ed, after his niarri.t-u with Miss Catharine,
Woolford, of Cuu.lnidge, by the presiding
bishop of the Philadelphia M. E. confer
ence which at thai time included the pen
insula within its bounds. A short time
thereafter the father's appointment was to
Odessa, Delaware, and next to Philadel
phia wheu the first-born son was hut six
years old. ,
HIS EDUCATION.
Robert was at once started to school,
aud, entering the primary, passed during
the years following through the successive
pgrades of the common schools, the glory of
our commonwealth, on up to and through
the Pcnn grammar and central high school.
Here young Pattison made his first speech,
being called upon to deliver the valedicto
ry address, and graduating with the high
est honors of the fifty-fifth class. In this
Wfcy he became known to Lewis C. Cassidy.
esq., then a member of the board of educa
tion, in whose office he registered as a law
student in December, 1809, with the rec
ommendation of Professor George Ininan
Riche, the high school principal.

should graduate also at Dickinson college,
where he himself had been cducatcd,having
named him in honor of one of the
most honored presidents of that institu
tion. Robert Emory was a native of Phila
delphia, afterward a law student of Revcr
dy Johnson, in Baltimore, and in the end
a divine of great learning and masterly in
manhood. Such a man, too, was the senior
Pattison, one whose knightly appearance
and chivalric bearing coexisted with great
kindness of manner, that made him friends
m all classes of society, and caused him to
be mourned in death which came to him
in 1875 rWhercver his personal and social
worth were known. His solicitude
for the future of his only eon may
be .best expressed in words written
by James Mill to Jeremy Rentham,
with reference, to his son, John Stuait
Mill : M However, if I were to die anytime
before this poor boy is a man, one of the
things which would pinch mo most soicly
would bo the being obliged to lcae hLs
mind unmade to the degree of excellence
I hope for."
A STUDEM' OK LAW.
Fortunately Dr. Pattibou did live to .see
his sonltobcit apply himself not only to
the mastery of law books in the office,
but al.so after office houi.s at home, to gen
eral literature, and csxcci.illy to the his
tory of tho old Feudal das; so familiar
izing himself with the groundwork of his
chosen piofcssion, aud at the same time
keeping up with tho times in his general
leading during half holidays,and on his way

msr the ample opportunity Mr. Cassuly s '
large criminal practice avoided for this; and
in every way at his command thoroughly
qualifying himself for admission to the
Philadelphia bar. where he entered upon
the practice of the law on his own account
in 1872. That year the young lawyer was
married to Anna, daughter of Edwin A.
Smith, of Philadelphia, and settled down
in the small two-story house o247 Sansom
street, where ho has continued to reside
ercr since, and where two children, a boy
ind a cirl, have been born to them in their
L happy home.

already developed beyond his years, fol
lowing in the footsteps of his grandfather
on his mother's side, Col. Thomas Wool
ford, who commanded in tho Maryland
lino in tho Revolutionary war, Pattison
had been a popular member of the Fourth
Regiment Pennsylvania Militia, known as
tho Fire Zouaves, and he was subsequently
identified with the reorganization of the
Stato Fcnciblcs.
I.AWYEK, ORATOR AND MILITIAMAN.
There he formed the friendship of that
good old Democrat, "a man without fear
and without rcpraach," Col. James Page,
whom Pattison succeeded as president of
the organization. Ho won his lirst laurels
as a lawyer in ah able argument in defense
of some thirty militiamen of the 4th Reg
iment Pennsylvania Volunteers, beforo a
court assembled by General Provost, and
acquitted them on a plea as to jurisdiction.
After this ho was ever tho chosen orator of
the command, and never without clients.
Among the cases which afterwards came
to him and were prepared with tho thor
oughness which distinguished all of his pro
fessional and political work, wcro thoso of
Orr vs. Hydraulic Works and Kchoe vs.
same, leading cases in dctei mining tho law
of negligence and tho duties of property
owners to the public.
Thus far the father lived to sec the suc
cess of his son, who, with strong filial de
votion, refusing to bask in other people's
sunshiiio by acceptance of invitations to
membership in the richer churches, has
of preference rigidly adhered to a kind of
" little church around the corner," wherein
was his. father's' last ministry.

ROBERT BMORf PATTISON.
John Dickinson, whose name that college
bears, acc6rding to Jofterson " one of tho
most accomplished scholars the conntry
ever produced," was himself a native of
Maryland, lived for a long time in Dela
awnrc, and wat iu 1782 elected executive
of Pennsylvania. And he was succeeded
in the office of governor of Pennsylvania
by Benjamin Franklin, who, until now
when objection is made to tho Providence
that gave Pattison his birth in Maryland,
was always supposed to hao beeu boin in
Massachusetts, and to have walked from
Boston to Philadelphia, whereuuto Patti
son was brought when baicly old enough
to walk to school, and where, ocr since
he was six yeais old he has been alike by
his education, profession and public, sci
vico a Pciinsylvanlan.
Surely the men who worked "like
Reavers " to put Graut iu nomination for
a third term at a time when he had been
altogether out of the country for four
years, and who applauded to the echo'
Conkliug's exclamation "if it be asked
whence comes our candidate, he hails from
Appomattox" should not now make serious
objection to the like Indian but less savage-sounding
Quantico, which Pattison
bade " hail and farewell " by proxy, if at
all, since he was removed from there be
fore he could cleverly articulate. Nor is
the CaUleronian cry of "foreigner,"
against the city controller of Philadelphia,
altogether consistent" with even the old
straight out-and-out Know Nothingism,
which is sought to be rehashed, it seems, in
the coming campaign, and to he served up
with an new altogether infusion of a
peculiar kind of state-rights. And, wliat
is more remarkable this, the whole and
sole objection that has been laiscd against
Controller Pattison as a man, originates at
aud is scut out from the head-quarters of
the Cameron Stale Central Committee, the
chairman of which.and would-like-to-have-been
candidate for governor, was himself
born "out west" in Ohio.
IN POLITICAL LIKE.
Upon Pattison's introduction into politi
cal life, at the lirst brought forward by his
friends for clerk of the court of quarter
sessions, he gracefully gave way to an
older and more experienced lawyer, Henry
S. Hagert, esq., whoso nomination hu
helped "" to secure. Afterward, when his
name was presented to the state conven
tion, iu 1877, for auditor general, although
then but little known outside the city, Mr.
Pattison received the next highest vote to
that by which Mr. Schell was placed in
nomination.
A little later in the same year, 1877,
Robert Emory Pattison was nominated
tor city controller ot i'hihulclpiiiu
and
i ij ;
was elected by 1,96'J majority. He was
ic-clccted in 1880 by a"majority of 10,.j!)3,
in a Presidential campaign that gave
General Garfield 20,883. majority in the
city.
Ry way of explanation of this rapid
rise, it has passed into history that at the
time of Mr. Pattison's first election, the
business men, projicrty holders, working
men, antHhe people of Philadelphia gen
erally, were first waking up to the fact that
for years they had been going behind in
their municipal affairs. There h:ul been a
steady and alarming increase in the tax
rate, the department expenses, and for ten
years there had been an average annual
addition to the city debt of 9S,(!22.40G.
Unparalleled muncipal extravagence pre
vailed. There was reckless waste in the
appropriation, criminal neglect in the col -lection
of taxes and hideous and open cor
ruption in disbursement.
THE KEVEL OF THE KINO.
While the population of Philadelphia
increased only one -fifth aud the value of
its property scarcely one-third, its debt
was doubled and the ir teres t ou its obli
gations required an annual levy of one per
cent, on the property. , On January 1,
1S78, the annual deficiencies, counting the
deficiency loan of $o,19o,S77, had reached
$t7,087,G87. It cost the city of Philadel
phia hundreds of thousands of dollars an
nual interest on its unpaid and overduo
warrants. One fifth of thccity taxes were
uncollected aud went into the hands of the
delinquent collectors, where enormous ex
penses were added for the profit of spec
ulating politicians, who at the same time
allowed political friends entirely to escape
their muncipal obligations. The poor
and unfortunate were plundered for
the enrichment of rapacious partisans;
with millions of taxes collected from the
pcoplo there was complaint of mal-adminis-tration
in nearly every department and the
city seemed to bo at the mercy of the
spoilsman. The reform movement which
has since been organized had not yet
crystallized inlo the committee of One
Hundred, nor any other well defiucd
scheme. Cavcn was defeated for mayor
and the Reformers had scarcely yet been
able to effect an entrance of the wedge.
A KECORD OF OFFICIAL INTEGltlTT.
Almost from his first induction into the
office of controller, Pattison invested it
with a degree of importance which the law
had given to it but with which none of his
predecessors had measured it. He adopted
and maintained a wide view of the obliga
tions of the office and declined to liidc be
hind technicalities that brought disgrace
upon his predecessor. He refused to con
sider the office merely clerical, but inves
tigated claims and enraged partisans by
refusing to be a mere machine to deplete
the city treasury. In this indexible pur
pose' ho recognized no claimant as Demo
crat or Republican. How the whole at-
-mosphcre of that office changed under his
Vigorous, vigilant and healthy- adminis
tration and what complimentary enmity he
won from many whose schemes have been
reu Jercd hopeless by his relentless scrutiny
AUGUST 23, 1882.
r'l I
and determination, is a' matter of public
notoriety! ;
He unsealed records, opened doors that
had been closedferreted out abuses checked
fraud and stopped robbery He determined
to ds the one thing that nobody else
seemed able or willing to do to see that
.the city of Philadelphia got a fair consider
ation for every dollar of the money which
he spent. In the courageous, impartial
and inflexible execution of that purpose he
recognized neither political friend nor foc?
and lie was daunted by no responsibility
which confronted him. He left unused no
privilege, he failed to exert no authority
that could contribute to the result which
he kept steadily in view. He discovered
that money was being paid to persons for
work not done, and he stopped it. He
found that work actually done and mate
rials really furnished, were grossly over
charged and he ended the robbery and
made the robbers disgorge. He put a stop
to the illegal payment of hills and the
unlawful issue of warrants. He exposed
and put an end to the petty pilfcrings and
unblushing larcenies under tho guise of
" contingents " and " incidentals." He
found favorites given the privilege of fur
nishing supplies at exorbitant figures, and
he insisted upon legal advertisements for
competitive bids, lie called public atten
tion to the fact that appropriations to pub
lic institutions were exhausted long before
the year for which they wcro made had
ended. He found that fees were thievish
ly drawn for jurors that had not served.
He unearthed frauds committed by means
of bogus jury lists, and compelled a detect
ed officer of the court to lice the jurisdic
tion. He ascertained that large sums of
money had been paid for work never per
formed and materials never furnished. By
stern and timely measures be was instru
mental iu destroying the evils of the cus
tom of collecting claims against the city by
mandamus a system, which, by its abases,
had grown to be a mighty evil, .fruitful of
corruption and loss. In one instance he
refused credit to the city treasurer for over
50,000, not certified. by the city solicitor.
He exposed the iniquities and enormities
of the delinquent tax office, by .which the
honest collection of the city's ic venues was
purposely obstructed and tax, payers
were remorselessly plundered to make gam
for the city ring, who carried off $100,000
annually to divide among themselves, to
debauch the elections and to Ict)thcir party
friends escape entirely from the payment
of their taxes. lie strenuously sought to
reduce the number of the city officials and
to lop off all supernumeraries, to abolish
sinecuies aiid cut down extravagant sal
aries. He exposed abuses of the alms
house, management and called its managers
to rigid accountability. His innumerable
and manly efforts to stand between the
people's money and those who sought to
take it illegally are part of the history of
the times. His controversies with the
guardians of the poor, the building com
mission, the water department and the
beneficial results emanating therefrom are
freshly and gratefully remembered by the
people of Philadelphia. It is . Pattison's
peculiar glory that he did not fear to of
fend members of his own party in the ful
fillment of what he believed to be his
duty.
Wherever he discovered irregularities he
exposed them; wherever he found extrav
agancies and unlawful expenditures ho
refused to allow them. That conservative
journal, the Ledger, declared : " He has
been attentive, vigilant and faithful, aud
since his installation in the office the or
ganized PLUNDER BY THE DEPARTMENTS,
'wlifch formerly passed unchecked there, and
in some instances was carried on by collu
sion, has wholly ceased so far as his power
extends."
A EROAD VIEW OK HIS DUTIES.
Had he done no more than thus guard
the treasury, had he been simply the pas
sive obstruction to greed and corruption,
he would yet have been entitled to the
regard of all honest men. But he was
much more than this. His conduct dis
closes a broad and comprehensive view of
his duties. He did not content himself
with keeping vigilant watch over the
money. He strove to lower the high sala
ries of the city's employees. He was full
of intelligent and economical suggestions
upon the management of the municipal
finances. He suggested to the board of
revision of taxes the wisdom of a more
correct assessment of the real estate. By
a letter dated October 2, 1878, he advocat
ed the payment of 4 per cent, interest on
the city warrants after January 1, 1879,
seeing that upwards of $50,000 a year
would be saved. '' I cannot see any good
reason," he wrote, "why the city of Phila
delphia, with its warrants li per cent,
above par, should continue to pay a great
er interest than the general government."
Many of the municipal reforms from
which Philadelphia now reaps advantage
were the results of his suggestions.
His first balance sheet was the first clear
statement that Philadelphia had had for
many years of its financial affaire. He
awoke tho citizens to a knowledge of the
actual condition of their municipality. He
exhibited the frightful tendency toward
bankruptcy and disclosed to them that a
false and misleading exhibit had been
annually placed before them by carrying
along worthless or unprofitable assets as
cash.
It was these reforms which enabled the
controller to. say in his last annual report :
" The burdens of the tax payers are being
lightened, increased encouragement is giv
en for the employment of capital within
its limits, and an atfspicious beginning has
been made in freeing the second city of the
Union in population, and the first inindus-
i ,,i.i

TUE OFFICE OF CUXTBOLLEll. fj ,
, The year and half of his second term
that has thus fur passed has, been ,nf
olctc with similar evidences of his compre
hensive grasp of the duties of his' position.' f
Thi Phllftifolnhia Stnr Tnil V nxvn'tlv ri:'l
f erring to his official career, thus sums up
his services to Philadelphia: , t,
" There was a lime, and not very long
since, either, when a great many people
entertained the idea that the functions uf
the controller were of the simplest char-.
acter that he was, in fact, nothing more
than a mere clerk, whose principal duty
consisted in approving warrants ilrawn
against tho city treasury, which approval
was given without Investigation. When
the present controller was renominated It
was boldly declared by some of those op
posed to him, that there were no duties
connected with the office that could not
bo discharged by any one possessed with
commonintelIigcnce, and that, therefore,
the general popular demand for .Mr. Patti
son's re-election was not warranted by the
facts of the case. These declarations, strange
as it may seem, were made by promi
nent lawyers and other citizens, supposed
to be familiar with the work of the office,
and from whom better things were ex
pected. ' Since' then the people have learn
ed how absolutely essential to honest and
economical government a capable and fear
less controllcrship is. As at present ad
ministered, the office is a constant check,
not only to dishonesty, but upon hasty- or
ill-advised legislation which involves the.
expenditures of public money. How .
many dollars of the public funds have been
saved by the conscientiously careful in
vestigation of the legal claim of every
warrant to the controller's approval, can
not be told, but it is safe to say that they
approximate to millions. The law has been
maintained with rigid impartiality, while
favortism has not in a single instance been
charged. It may therefore be said with
truth that as far ns the outgo of public
money is concerned j the controller is the'
jmost important officer connected with our
(municipal government, provided always
pic is the right man for the place. The
wrong man thcro and there have been
wrong controllers is an evil, the magni
tude of which cau be comprehended only
by a comparison of the present manage
ment with that of five or six years ago."
i The Philadelphia Times said that millions
!of dollars were. stolen, from the city trcas-
tiry under Pattison's predecessors because
;thcy conducted .the office of controller with
theidca that the controller " docs nothing
more than approve city warrants, if j they
'arc drawn, legally." Because Pattison took
the higher view millions were saved to
Philadelphia.
NOMINATElV FOB OOVEBNOK.
In view of all this and of the fact that
'during his term a complete administrative
Ireform had been inaugurated in the second
city of the union and lift first in Pennsyl
vania, it was not strange that the Demo
cratic State Convention found in him its
nominee for governor. Year by year the
political issue of administrative reform
has become the supreme concern of intelli
gent men. . Recognizing his special fitness
to embody this issue, the convention grav
itated toward him on the sixth ballot and
without any adjournment after it began to
ballot. His nomination was no personal
nor factional triumph or defeat. It was
accomplished without " management " or
" trade." It was the well-considered action
of an unusuallyearnekt and intelligent body
and that' no mistake vehs made is assured by
