HOW HIS WAS RECEIVED AND
WHAT HE SAID.
A i'OPULAi: DEMONSTRATION.
The Court Hon no Packed ami Hundreds Un
able to Gain Admission Enthusiasm
ihrousliout tho City.
Gray-headcil iucu aver that never in the
history of politics has there been witness
ed iu Lancaster any thins t surpass the
grand demonstration that greeted the
visit of the Democratic candidate to this
city ou Tuesday oveaiujj It was the out
break of a Ions pent-up popular sentiment
that transformed our quiet city into a tlic
atio of excitement and fired the public
heart with all the emotions that are tho
natural expressions of unwonted political
feeling;. Nothiu in the present campaign
has at all approached in the fervor of en
thusiasm the magnificent reception ac
corded by Lausasier's sturdy Democracy
to Contioller Pattison. The hour at
which he was advertised to ariivo was
7:40 p. iu., but loui; before that time the
streets were throujjed with an excited
populace impatient for too coming of the
young and feat less champion of reform
and honest government whom the will of
the people of the commonwealth
has aheady designated as the proper per
son to restotc .and rcgcneiat-i the state
govcnimeiilUiUio.se pnuciples of purity
in which its foundations weie established.
At 7 o'cljck it was difficult to make head
way along the crowded sidewalks in the
eeutial poitiou of the city, while a dense
mass of humanity took up the entire
street in front of the Democratic head
quart eis, which were very prettily
decorated with Chinese lanterns.
The Young Men's Democratic club
assembled at the latter place about
seven o'clock, and shorlly afteiwaids
they formed iu liuo and marched to
the Pennsylvania depot. Tho young men,
numbering upwaids of one hundred, wore
a neat uniform, consisting of a blue
cloth cap, with gold cord ruuniug over the
top, a haud.sonio white silk badge, with
gold bullion fringe, aud all carried light
walking sticks. Tho staff wore the
handsome suits used during tho
Hancock campaign. Clubs from tho
Seventh, Eighth and other wards
came marching down town and added
to the general clamor.
When tho 7:40 traiu came .steaming
into tho depot the band struck up a
lively air and then began au indiscriminate
discharge of Roman candles and other
fireworks among the mighty throng as
sembled in tho neighborhood, and when
tho tall form ol Controller Pattison was
seen on the platform of tho smoking car
"a shout that rent the firmament" arose
and swept through tho crowd that ex
tended far down North Queen and Chest
nut streets. The visiting paity was com
posed of Controller Pattison, Chaiiman
Ilcnsel, Senator Gordon, Councilman
Huflmanu, Mr. Carrigau and several
olhcis. The Tincaster committee of re
ception, Messrs. .T. L. Stciumctz, Samuel
W. Altick and Representative El'un G.
Snyder, had gone down to Downingtowu
to meet the visitors, aud ai rived heic
with them.
To get oft" of tho cars was a matter of
gicat difficulty on account of the throng in
tho depot, but it was finally accomplished,
and tho visitors wcro escorted to tho
coaches tL yt stood iu waiting, and tho
order to forward march was given. The
street parado was a- brief oue. extending
from tho Pennsylvania depot down North
Queen to Centre square, aud dowu West
King to tho Quarry ville depot, where tho
train arrived just at the time tho proces
sion did, arid a delegation of more than a
hundred from the lower end, accompanied
by a band of music joined tho ranks
Thcu tho liuo countermarched up to the
court house. The passago through the
streets was a hard ono aud tho procession
had to fairly force its way through tho
dense mass of humanity that lined the
curbs. All the time thero was kept up a
constant fusilade of fireworks, while a
roar of applauso swept through tho
throngs as the piocession moved along.
Arriv.ed at the court house, that build
ing was found to be already packed, and
only a small proportion of tho parades
effected an entrance. Every seat iu the
vast auditorium aud all the window sills,
even out to the ves'.ibnle, wero occupied,
while theic was not a spare inch of stand
ing room . The bar railing was no bar to
tho eager throng, and they crowded
beyond it and close up to the bench from
which the speeches were delivered.
The Eighth ward P&ttison glee club sang,
aud thcu Chairman Roland, in vain trying
to make himself heard, proposed Newton
Lightner, esq., for chairman of tho meet
ing, which was of couroe carried with a
roar of approval. The following list of
officers was then ratified :

Mr. Fattifton'8 Speech.
When President Lightner introduced
the candidate for governor, amid the diu
that pervaded tho huge assemblage, such a
storm of applause swept through the crowd
ed building as haB novcr before been heard
within tho four wallB of the historic struc
ture. Men rose to their feet and swung
their caps, while a roar of enthusiasm
drowned the first attempts of Mr. Patti
son to make himself heard. The young
controller, his calm visage Hushed
with tho excitement aud gratified
feeling naturally excited by tho ova
tion so spontaneously accorded him,
paused for several moments until the first
outbreak had in a measure subsided, and
then began his address in a clear ringing
tone that made itself heard in every
part of tho densely thronged room.
In tendering bis thanks for the
kind reception, Mr. 'Pattison said ho
recognized iu this enthusiastic demon
stration not a tribute to the individual, but
a manifestation of tho interest this
mighty audience felt in the great ques
tions that agitate the public mind to-day.
"This," said Mr. Pattison, "is no small
contest ; it is a battle between tho people
and the bosses, and my observation
gathered yi a tour of the commonwealth
that has extended from Lake Erie to the
Dcalawai e, and from the northern tier to
tho southern border, clearly proves to me
that the pooplo of Pennsylvania know
what they want and mean to enforce it.
Mr. Madison, in a notable, address, has
said that the true spirit of republican in
stitutions is to compel from the rulers a
strict obedience to the will of tho people ;
so the people of Pennsylvania at this im
portant stago of tho commonwealth's his
tory are resolved to exact from their so
called bosses a strict compliance with their
just demands. They demand that the
public officer shall bo the exponent of the
public will ; that public office shall be
conducted by no one man or combination of
men, but in tho interest ot the whole
people. I remember," continued Mr. Pat
tison, " of reading somewhere a story of
the emperor of China, who in the gardens
of Pekin talked with his chief minister of
tho wealth of his empire, and asked him
what was most to bo feared ou the part of
the people. Tho wise counsellor replied
that it was the ' rat in the statue.' When
tho emperor asked tho meaning of tho al
legory employed in tho reply to his query 1
the minister tola tho taio or a wooden
statne hollow within, and into which a
rat "sometimes effected entranca. The
puzzle was how to accomplish the expul
sion of tho rat without tho destruction of
tho statue, aud the counsellor pointed out
that tho rats that too frequently gained
entrance into the statue as represented in
the great government of his sovereign
weicthoincu devoid of merit and virtue
who gained the favor of their prince and
secured planes of power for whieh they
were unfitted. In Pennsylvania the rat iii
tho statue is the boss .system. The reme
dy is in the hands of the people and con
sists m the ballot they wield. It has been
observed that the truest test of govern
ment consists in the aptitude and tendency
for proper administration. Let this test
bo applied to the government of Pennsyl
vania and reflecting nion will conclude
that wc have not a good administration.
Our rulers " said the speaker." havo not
bi ought us good ieults, and I propose to
measure them by that simple and just de
claration, ' by their fiuits ve shall know
them."
History Kepcuilng itKelf.
Mr. P.ittisou pointed out the undeniable
fact th.it there arc murmuriugs and com
plaints that must be listened to and r jgaiu'
cd. Why this discontent ? What is the causa
ot this utncst ? Tho people are never need
lessly given to disouier and agitation.
There must bo some cause to produce
these results. They aro now tho product
of deliberation and not tho fruit of pas
sion. This is not the first time in the his
tory of the people of this country that they
havo displayed dissatisfaction with their
condition aud distrust of their ruler.--. Our
ancestors mauifestcd tho same spirit when
they petitioned Georgo III. fur a re
dressuf their grievances and he, like the
modern "bosses" of Pennsylvania, spum
ed this petition with coutempt aud tieated
tho petitioners with contumely. They, like
the people of to day assigned reasons f jr
their complaints. They compliincd amon
other thii'gs that their remonstrances
had been disregarded, their detrand;
for wholesome laws refused, aud a Iiordo
of useless aud expensive officers had been
fastened upon them. Tho ignoring of
theso complaints made to the king of
England was followed by the revolt of tho
people against his kingly authority, aud
tho declaration of the independence of tho
colonies. Seo how tho objections mado by
our ancestors obtain against those now in
authority. Wiso and necessary legislation
has been demanded and refused.
Abuses In ttio St.ite Uovnrnmcnt.
The abuses recited in a clause of the
Declaration, which the coutroller quoted
with line dramatic effect, aro not uncom
mon in the present administration of our
boss tidden commonwealth. Have not our
people petitioned and striven with might
and main for tho redress of governmental
grievances not secondary to those against
which the struggling colonists so earnestly
protested ? A voice " Yes, but we havo
not. got them."! Tho people ol the city
of Philadelphia have stiiven for the enact
ment of such measures of legislation as
shall frco them from the burdens under
which they in common with all the pooplo
of tho commonwealth struggle. Tho Lig
islatuie corruptly manipulated by boss
domination have refused the passage of wiso
and salutary laws demanded by the people,
but tho majority havo heedlessly disre
garded tho demands of a long suiituing
constituency. The people of Philadelphia
requested of the lawmaking power the en
actment of a municipal bill drafted after
thorough deliberation by a careful com
mission ; but while the attention of tho
Legislature wa3 called to tho necessities of
nearly a million cf people they permitted
this want togoumelicvcdand their wishes
uucomplicd with, and the proposed meas
ure of relief lies buried in some boss com
mittee room at Harrisburg. Like tho
colonists, we too suffer from useless offices
and unnecessary and rapacious officehold
ers. A delinquent tax office with tho
emoluments ot $750 a day was created to
provide for a politiciau out of place. For
another needy favorite ot tho "bosses"
the useless aud extravagant recorder's
office was revived, enlarged in authority
and augmented in expense. Tho co-it of
the useless and extravagant office amounts
to the enormous sum of $40,000 annually.
The people suffer from these extravagances
directly iu their pioperty and callings.
They aro a direct tax upon those in tho
community IcaHt able to bear tho burdens
and go to increase taxation and enlarge
the amount of waste. When "tho people
complained against these unnecessary bur
dons they were ruthlessly turned away
from tho doors of tho law-making power.
Tho whole system of fees to il.i
grantly illustrated in the creation of thir,
place for the enrichment of Matthew Stan
ley Quay, tho chief priest in the bo-a Re
publican syuagogue, is but an instance of
tho infamous underground method of
iucrca.sing the taxation thrust upon the
people by an unwarrented system of fees,
and all efforts to repeal this sort of leg.
islation goes for naught. I A voice
" We'll repeal it next Tuesday." "By
their fruits yo shall know them. '
The uso of public office as a reward for
party service is another evil that calls for cor
rcction. Suck a system leads to a govern
ment of party iustead of a government of
the people. In tho preamble to the con
stitution the people declared that they or
dained a form of government t ) the pro
motion of the gcueral wolfaio. Tlioie is
tho object and end of our political sys
tem. When, instead of this, however,
tkose entrusted witk authority exercise
their power to promote personal, factional
or party ends they violate tho spirit aud
purpose of their trust and abuso the con
tidence of the people To promote the
general weal should bo tho golden rule of
all public officials.
Kemble's BnnK.
The speaker here referred to tho im
mense deposits of public moucy hold by
tho Peoplo's bank of Philadelphia,amount
ing at one timo to the sum of $300,000,
when tke legal liability of tke institution
was but $300,000. Muck of this enormous
amount was the money of tho state aud
much of it belonged to tho municipality
of Philadelphia. It was deposited in this
institution without even rcasonablo safe
guards, because there it could be used to the
greatest advantage of the Republican party
The patent absurdity and plain injustice
and danger of such a condition of affairs
caused the passagoofa law by the coun
cils of Philadelphia regulating deposits.
By this law the amount of deposits among
banks was proportioned to their capital
and by its oparatiou the amount of money
on deposit in the People's bank, the
favored institution of tho bosses, has
been reduced to an average of about
$30,000. In Philadelphia, too, the law
compels a weekly publication of the treas
urer of tho names of the various banks in
which he deposits and the amount in
each. We find tho rnlo there safe and
.wise. Why, let me ask, should not the
finances of the state bo subjected to simi
lar management '.' Tho same safeguards
are needed to be thrown about tho finances
of the state as the legislators of the city
of Philadelphia have deemed necessary to
guard their own treasury. But the cor
rupt dynasty that controls the liuancial
affairs of the state of Pennsylvania will
not consent to such an enactment, for the
reason that it would take away the re
wards by which they aro enabled to main
tain their rotten domination.
Tho Assessment System.
Mr. Pattison designated the assessment
system as ono of the greatest evils of our
government as it exists to-day. Ofiicois
w ho are subjected to tho demands of cam
paign requirements aud aro. compelled to
contribute from the emoluments of their
positions to keep tho machine iu motion,
will take the first opportunity of repaying
themselves from the public treasury, ai.il
thus the people of tho statu and nation
aro deliberately robbed to maintain a cor
rupt partisan organization in tho places of
power. In the operation of mji'Ii :i -.jm. i.i
as this offices arc multiplied -.md the 1 1.
payers are robbed in order that the Stal
wart piper may bo paid. Tho speaker
emphasized this poiut by a number of per
tinent illustrations, aud made the asser
tion that 23 per cent, of tho government
employees repiescnt a class who are plun
dering the public tie.isury of every penny
they leceivo. "By their fruits ye shall
kuow them."
Tho l'eoplu It ill Kale.
The people of Arragou in electing their
ki'ig said : " We, the free-bom inhabi
t nits of Air;'gi)!i,cqua! to you, Philip, and
something mora, elect you our king if you
protect our rights aud privileges, and if
gou fail in this wo own you no moro our
king." So tho froo people of Pennsylvania
havo determined to throw off allegiauco to
tho iron rulo of the bosses and secure for
themselves that form of government in
tended for them by tho founders of tho
lepublic, which embraced iu its scopo tho
highest rights and privileges consistent
with good government. This determina
tion is not alono by the people of ono
parry, but it has many witnesses long
idencificd with the Republican party, who
have turned state's ovidonco and are now
giving t.-'htimony to tho people of Pennsyl
vania, "By their fruits ye shall know
them."
Tho Independent Kevolt.
Tiic speaker related tho story of an Ar
menian general with 4."5O,00O soId:ers who
aw from hs position of advautago on a
hill tho Roman army encamped below with
only 111,000. In a spirit of ridicule ho said
lightly to his aids : " Youder men aro too
many lor au embassy and too few to fight."
Yet before nightfall they proved strong
enough to put the Armonian forces to flight
with great slaughter. So to, the revolt of
the. independent clement against bossism.
Tho Stalwarts in scoffing terms havo pro
claimed that the Independent army is un
worthy of being treated with and too
ina!l to fight, but I am certain they will
demonstrate when tho ran goes down on
the 7th of November that they are strong
enough to put tho bosses to flight and drive
them from the citadel of their power.
IIio only KouieUy.
In summing up tho abuses existing in
the government of tho stato which ho had
so graphically portrayed, tho speaker ear
nistly inquired, " What is tho remedy?"
A voice, "You are!"! "By giving back
to the people their own," Mr. Pattison
continued. Government, he said, is not
for the pleasure of being governed ; nor is
it to prevent pooplo from getting rich, but
to protect them in getting rich. As l'cnn
sylvauians wo arc proud of the industries
of our state. Tho statistics which we can
show are evidence of tho thrift and
energy characteristic of the commonwealth,
and iu tho contemplation of them our
bosoms swell with pardonablo prido. Tho
man who, by word or action, would seek
to impair the.uo industries had better a
millstone were hung rouud his neck and
throw himself into the nearest stream.
Wq measure our manufactories aud our iu
dustiies in general by their product",
however. Were wo to measure our stato
government by their products wo would
have cause to hang our heads in shamo in
stead of bearing them high as childieu of
tho Keystone state ; for our escutcheon
has been defaced and instead of the noble
legend of " Virtue, Liberty and Independ
ence," it bears tho infamous inscription of
"Addition, Division aud Silence."
The Supreme Law.
Mr. Pattison, after making effective uso
of Maujulay's contract of the barbarism
of tho thirteenth century with tho civiliza
tion of the nineteenth a illustrative of the
pretont condition of politics, showed that
the lime was at hand when tho people of
tho commonwealth should inscribe over
the doors of the public offices " The will
of the people is tho supreme law." Tho
public records, said Mr. Pattison in con
clusion aro tho records of the peoplo.
Their examination, ho said, should bi
always open to tho people, and the public
servant who has faithfully represented his
constituents need have no hesitation in
exhibiting them under the glare of day
that, unfortunately, has not been the
history of tho public offieo of Pennsylva
nia. In terminating kis address Controller
Pattison said impressively: "It is with
you, my fellow-citizens, by tho power of
your ballots, to rcmovo theso people from
tho positions of high trust which they
have desecrated with tho wine of bossism,
and to write on the walls of tho places
thoy have polluted tho blazing inscrip
tion : Thou art weighed in the balances
and found wanting.' I thank you for your
kind attention."
Mr. Pattison spoko for about three
quarters of an hour, and at times ho was
overwhelmed with tho applause that fre
quently burst from his audience as the
controller developed tho points of his re
marks with electrical effect. At tho con
clusion prolonged cheers rent the air.
Senator Gordon's Address.
The next speaker introduced was
Hon. James Gay Gordon, Phila
delphia's youthful senator, elected
