How the Ticket Is to Be Toted.
Democrats, remember that this year
you vote force tickets" State," " Judi
ciary" and "County." On the state
ticket must be the names of the candi
dates for governor, lieutenant governor
and secretary of internal affairs.
On the judiciary, the name of the
candidate for judge of the supreme
court. On the county ticket, the
names of the candidates for con-gressman-at-large,
congressman, sena
tor (the latter in the Fourteenth district
only), Assembly, recorder, directors of
the poor, prison inspectors and jury
commissioner.
Those distinguished Pennsylvania
officials, Quay and Bunn, consider it im
proper to remain in association with
Gov. Iloyt in the care of the state and
resign their commissions. If they real
ized the gratification which it affords
the public to be rid of such servants
they would perhaps have smothered
their wrath at Gov. Hoyt's desertion of
them and their friends. It does not do
for politicians to get angry, for they are
always then indiscreet Quay and
Bunn have bad public reputations,
and if they had been calm they would
have realized that they helped Gov. Iloyt
by their repudiation of him. Mm of that
class are just the ones that the people
are in revolt against. It was not neces
s try fortheui to give public assurances
of their condemnation of Hoyt's letter.
That was taken for granted, because it
condemned them. Their declaration
against it only shows how badly it hurts
them.
Boss Quay says that he doej not
know to what Gov. Iloyt refers when he
speaks of the vengeance prepared for the
Independents, but Quays says "I am for
Hie guillotine myself after this is over."
So Hoy t seems to have been well-advised.
The Stalwart administration, after the
election is over, proposes to draw the
Republican party lines around tiie Stal
wart portion of the party and shut all
others out. The republican party is to
bo the administration party. The Stal
warts propose to hold the party organi
zation and to strengthen themselves by
the appropriation of all the offices. The
consequence will be a victorious Democ
racy put in power, with two parties
dividing the opposition ; which affords a
comfortable prospect-for the Democracy
anyhow.
The time for argument is pastthat
for action has come. Let our friends
bo possessed of a calm confidence. Let
them be vigilant and active. All man
ner of devices of fraud will be, no doubt,
attempted, and a strict watch must be
kept on every ballot until it is counted.
Offer no ballot that you know to be il
legal, and permit none to be polled by
your opponents. L?t us have a fair
election in which every citizen entitled
to vote shall east it ; and let the best
man win. There ought to be nothing
but peace and quiet at the polls, for the
election law is plain ; it tells who may
and wl 10 may not vole ; and as the law
says so must it be.

They tell some funny stories on Whar
ton Barker, the good-natured Indepen
dent of Philadelphia, and one of the
best is to the effect that he was in the
dumps about Iloyt at noon on Friday :
'' didn't know anything,' as he assured
a reporter of the 1'thytiqih, when that
joirrnal had its decks cleared for the gov
ernor's coming letter, which was sup.
posed to be addressed to him, and it was
then on the wire. The editor kindly sent
Barker a proof-slip.
Boss Qr.v y says that the charge that
Gov. Hoyt used slate funds in a disas
trous speculation and that, Cameron
aided him with money to return the
. tate's moneys is not true. Quay says
that he was " badly burned " in a stock
speculation, and that Cameron helped
him out, but not Iloyt, because Hoyt did
not need help. Gov. Iloyt lias always
enjoyed the repute of being an honest
man, and it is not likely that his reputa
tion will be damaged by 1 lie wild charges
of excited Stalwarts.
The number of Republicans who pro
pose lo ' make no mistake " to-morrow
and who therefore will vote directly for
1'attison to make certain of crushing the
bosses, will be a revelation to everybody,
lu Philadelphia Pattison will have an
immense vote. A "straw ballot ' in
the board of brokers the other day
showed that out of .'II votes for Pattison
-1 were Republicans.
Vote for Pattison.
Vote for Black.
Vole for Clark.
Vote for Africa.
Vote for Elliott.
Vote the Democratic ticket from top
to bottom.
Bkavkk's Philadelphia raid was noisy
but fruitless, and the Iloyt whirlwiud
just come along in lime to knock the
pins set up higher than Gilroy's kite.
This has been a campaign of surprises,
Keep 3 our seats if you hear something
immense to day about Beaver. Ho is on
the lagged edge of doubt and despair.
To Republicans who want lo hit to
hint: The way to fetch down and not
meiely frighten game, is lo "shoot
straight."
Puxr, out, now, Democrats and friends
of reform of every shade of political be
lief, and prepare lo do a big day's work
to-morrow.
No wonder Beaver couldn't speak at
Wilkesbarrc Friday night, where he met
the Iloyt. letter. It was a knock-down
blow.
Every young man who votes for tho
first time tomorrow should cast his
maiden ballot for Pattison and reform.
A vote for Pattison means a blow at
bossism that will count.
Election tomorrow.
To the polls!
Axthoend of Piobert Emory Patti
son's gubernatorial term he will not be
compelled to make any such confessions
as Henry M. Hoyt has just given to the
world. He will not be the chained ser
vant of any machine. Xo bosses will
control him. He will be the people's
chief magistrate from the beginning to
the end.
The henchmen are getting ready to de
sert in droves. After to morrow they
will be crowding into the Independent
lines and declaring they are glad their
boss has been " laid out." There is no
such thing as gratitude or fidelity in
machine politics. Self-interest is the
controlling motive.
It is not necessary to urge Democrats
to vote to-morrow ; for they will
surely all be out. But let them vote
early so that the working men may have
their anxiety lessened because of their
responsibility for the polling of the full
vote of the district.
When Cooper heard the Hoyt thunder
he should have "caught" Beaver on the
rail,by telegraph, and switched him away
from "Wilkesbarre. It was cruel to let
the crushed candidate or the bosses go
blundering into Wilkesbarrc at such a
time.
Xor, if Beaver should withdraw in
disgust to-day and we are prepared to
hear of this at any moment Boss Cam
eio: would feel like drowning himself
and he would probably do so meta
phorically. t
Democrats, go to the polls and vote
earlv to-morrow, and then devote
the balance of the day lo looking iuj
laggards and take them to the pol'is.
Get out the full Democratic voto and
victory is certain.
Tjieke are about 4,000 election dis
tricts in the state, so that a single vote
lost in each would count 4,000 iu the ag
gregate. Ten stay-at-homes in each dis
trict would make 40,000 in the state.

The Stalwarts, for lack of arguments,
are preparing to Hood the state with all
sorts of campaign canards which will be
sent out to-night. Beware of last card
dodges.
Get your wagons ready and see that
every Democratic voter gels to tho polls

Much unnecessary labor can he spared
to overworked men who devote the whole
day to setting out tho Democratic vote if

before noon as to wait until evening, when
theic is necessarily a great deal of confu

Senator Davies and Greer, in that city.
The Philadelphia Ledger pointedly says :
" When nearly the wholo citizenship of
Philadelphia demanded, in 1831, tho
abolishment of tho delinquent tax office
and tho recorder's office, both these sena
tors were persistent advocates of tho spoils
system for Philadelphia, and Davios, not
satisfied with his votes against tho people
on the recorder's bill, went so far as to
make a bitterly hostilo spscch. It was his
innings then ; it is tho people's now.' '
Look out for spurious tickets. There
has boon nut in circulation hi tins city a
bogus Democratic count; ticket bearing
tha namo of Goorgo W. Cormcny, tho Re
publican candidate for Assembly, instead
of Elim G. Snydek, tho honest man aud
incorruptible Democrat who has so wcrth
ily represented his constituents at Ilanis

crats of Lancaster, show that you belicvo
in rewarding a faithful public servant by
sending Mr. Snyder back to tho Logisla-
turo by an increased majority. ExamineJ
your ticket then and see. that under tho
head of "Assembly 1st District" is
printed the name of Elim G. Snyder
A year ago several thousands of good
Democrats, to show their appreciation of
the pluck of Charley Wolfe iu breaking
away from tho machino masters, aud
hoisting the standard of revolt, deposited
their ballots for him, with result of elect
ing Cameron's candidate by a very small
plurality. Doa't let tho unwisdom of
that experience ho repeated to-morrow.
Stewart don't want any Democratic votes.
His fight is iu tho Republican family.
Democrats have no businosi intermed

elected. Make your ballot count.
Do General Beaver aud Mariiot Brosius
know of the fraud attempted upon Irish
men'and Catholics io piomote their elec
tion? Both declare that they aio ready
to deuouneo every foim of dec! ion fraud
and every attempt to deccivo or debauch
voter?, but they strangely overlook this
baldest of frauds that offers an insult to
every religious faith. What would Gen
Beaver say if Mr. IIcusdI had fabricated
such a falsehood about Beaver, corrupted
a Presbyterian journal to publish it, and
organized a pretended Presbyterian Dem
ocratic comraitteo to circulate the false
hood iu every Presbyterian homo of tho
state? Yet tho dimerous, the founders
and representative leadots of Pennsylvania
Know-Notbingism, by unblushing fake,
hood attempt to defraud Catholic voters
into the support of their machine ticket,
and Beaver aud Brosius cither shut their
eyes to it or dare not act out their profes
sions of devotion to truth and honesty in
elections.
It has been for a long time a favorite
scheme of the Republican party to circu
late in tho closing hours of a campaign
lying stories about Democratic hatred for
Irishmen and Catholics. The imputation
thus put upon their iutolligeuco iu sup
posing that they can ha driven liko sheep
to tho shambles, and tnat iu casting thoir
vot they are moved more by an appeal
to their passions than their reasan, has
had tho ell'ect of belittliug tho causo of
Ireland and degrading tho creed of Catho
licity. Roligion and politics in tho United
States aie necessarily divorced. Tho
Democratic party h" s a larger percentage
of Irishmen in its ranks because that
party represents the principles for which
Irelaud is now struggling homo rule and
opposition to centralization. It is high
time that thefo brazen-mouthed slanderers
should l.o Mlenced. Let every honest
Irishman, who believes in tho supremacy
of Democratic principles spurn, this low
and baseless appeal to their prejudices.

Agalnat Hoyt.
Politicians are figuring on the result of
Tuesday's election. The returns of the
final cauvass aro all in at the Democratic
headquarters. Chairman Hensel refuses
to cive out his figures for publication, but
it is knowu that a plurality of 44,000 is
expected for Pattison. At tho Independ
ent headquarters Chairman McKeo has
confined bis estimates to the voto for
Stewart. At the very lowest calculation
ho claims 100,000, and expects from 50,000
to 73,000 more. Things are very much
mixed at the Stalwart headquarters.
Quay and Coopor still claims that Beaver
will be elected. Quay s3id that the plu
rality would bo 15,000. With one man
who called ho went over tho counties. He
gave Boaver 12,000 plurality in Philadel
phia aud old-time majorities in other
counties to justify his claim. Ho puts
the Independent voto at 50,000 to 60,000.
It is doubtful whether Beaver gets a
plurality in Philadelphia. Gas Trusteo
McMaues has given out orders that the
entire Beaver ticket shall bo quietly
knived, and this will mako a great differ
ence in the voto. It is MoManes' way of
paying up old scores with Cameron.
Tho Democrats will g3iu several con
gressmen. The present delegation con
sists of ninoteeu Republicans and eight
Democrats. The new delegation will bo
pretty evenly divided with every prospect
that tho Democrats will just turn a ma
jority. Tho Democrats put down a gain
of eight congressmen as certain.
Tho charge made at tho Stalwait meet
ing in Uairiaburg by Mr. McCaritd, that
Gov. iloyt speculated with state funds to
tho amount of $150,000, is denied by tho
governor and by Mr. Quay. The chargo
was made after consultation with Cam
eron. Quay was found at bis Spruce street
residence, the centre of a cluster of poli
ticians, aud was asked about it. He said :
" I don't know who instigated tho
chargo of Gov. Hoyt speculating with tho
nublic funds, nor do i care, it is not truo.
Gov. Hoyt never improperly used a dollar
of the stato money, nor did Cameron or
anybody elso cover any speculative losses
forhira. 1 have lolt constrained to sever
my official connection with Gov. Hoyt's
administration because I cannot sustain
his political policy, but that is no reason

tically embezzling state funds. 1 can as

Gov. Iloyt is utterly untrue and most un
just." GOV. UOXT'3 KKVOLT.

" Governor Hoyt is defiant." said Ex-
Attorney General Gcorgo H. Lear, raising
himself on his elbow as no lay in bed at
tho Girard house. " I had a long confer
ence with him last night and another to
day." ho continued. "Iwas speaking in
Lancaster on Satuiday evening when I
heard of Quay's resignation and I at once
sent this dispatch to tho governor : 'You
aro on tho right road ; tako no step back
ward.' Ho at once wired me to spend tho
night with him iu Harrisburg. I got there
about midnight. Hoyt was in bed, but
ho oamc down in his nightshirt and let me
in." Mr. Lear chuckled in token of his
remembrance of the governor in undress
uniform.
" How did I find him ? Why, all light,
of course and firm in the stand ho has
taken. He has received hundreds of tolo
grams from all parts of tho state congrat
ulating him on his course Wo talked
over tho wholo situation, as wo did many
times before I said I would voto for
John Stewart, J. Simpson Africa and Silas
M. Clark. Governor Hoyt said ho would
do tho same I am protty Euro ho will
voto for McCormick for Congress, becauso
ho is down on Sam Barr, Joo Scranton and
that crowd. Thoso who aro in tho gover

suaa,reA mB that ho is willing to assist
any movement looking to tho purification
of tho Republican party. Ho has no do
sire to go out of it, but he is tired of boss
rule and believes that all good Republi
cans should oppose it. I askod the gov
ernor if ho expected Quay to resign and
ho admitted that he had not reflected upon
such an awful calamity to the common
wealth. As, however, ho said that Quay
had not done more than one honest day's
work a month in Harrisburg during tho
last two years, I fancy that tho resigna
tion did not weigh upon his mind. Five
minutes after the governor heard of Quay's
resignation he appointed Colonel Frank
Jordan, a Presbyterian elder and a good
mau."
After some general talk on tho effect of
Governor Hoy t's letter iu Lancaster, where
a copy of it was sent to every voter, Mr.
Lear said: "Oh, they say Cameron's
whito with rago, but Governor Hoyt docs
not care ; he will go tho wholo length. I
have talked with tho governor ou many
occasions on the necessity of purifying the
party, and he always agreed with me.
Last night ho spoke at some length on the
fact that during the last two years there
was no ono about tho stato- houso with
whom ho could confer on matters cf pub
lic importance. He said Quay and Sam
Losch, tho other members of that political
lot, wcro almost always absent, and even
when they did appear the air about them
was impregnated with politics, net busi
ness. Tbo governor admitted that he could
havo gone to private friends and conferred
with them, but did not liko it."
A prominent Presbyterian minister in
Harrisburg delivered a sermon on tho
duties of citizens, and iu it ho paid a high
compliment to Governor Hoyt for the step
he has taken, and spoko scathingly of
tho Cameron wing of tho Republican
party.
Mr. Lear laughed quietly, aud then
said: "By tho way, some fellow who
signs himself A. T. G. sent the following
telegram from Philadelphia to the gover
nor this morning : ' Pauo, Oh Governor
pause before accepting Col. bnnns resigna
tion. Think, oh think of the eficut upon

tinued Mr. Lear " A. T. G. spells the

Why Ma Should not be Elected.
Tho Philadelphia Evening TelegrapJi,
which has always been a leading Republi
can newspaper, says :
Republicans aro justified in their oppo
sition to General Boaver becauso of Ins
conspicuous iucompotenco. For several
months he has been publicly addressing
his fellow citizens, and during all that
timo he has failed to show that he is not a
man of tho most ordinary capacity. His
addresses have been weak, foolish, contra
dictory, and without form or substance
But while he has shown his want of wis
dom, thought, learning or ideas in his
speeches, tho most intelligent and useful
of tho organized associations of farmers in
the commonwealth has publicly advised
the farmers of the state to vote against
him, for tho reason that his disgracefully
incompetent management of too state farm
school has proved him unfit to manage the
affairs of the government.
Republicans are justified in their opposi
tion to General Beaver because ho is not
honest.
The proof that he is not is supplied by
himself. Tho first resolution of the plat
form upon which ho stands, and which in
his addrrs3 of acceptance he promised
would and should be supported bv him.
j declares "Wo unequivocally condemn
I the nsa of patronage to promote personal
political end." Yet General Bea vet's can
didacy has been largely helped by the bas
est use or a6uso oiV patronage. The fifth
resolution of that simo platform on which
ho stands, and wbieh he solemnly pledged
himself to uphold, declaresthat " We con
demn compulsory assessments for political
purposes." Yet every dollar of the enor
mous expences of Gon. Beaver's campiign
has been paid out of a fund created by
political assessments upon the poor men,
women and even children, employed by
tho government. With his sanction and
connivauco thoso assessments have been
levied aud collected, aud he himself has
helped spend the"money wruug from the
poor victims of his state committee's ex
actions through their fears.
No Republican who would preserve the
rights of the people to choose their own
public officials can consistently vote for
General Beaver. No Republican who
would maintain the safeguards which the
Republican rules throw about conventions
will bo justified iu voting for General
Bcavor, for he has trampled upon them
all. No Republican who would not put
an autocratic boss above the popular will
can be justified iu supporting him No
Republican who demands ability aud po
litical honesty can bo justified in voting
for him ; and every Republican who honors
and loves his party, and who, because of
his love aud honor for it, wonld save it
from tho destroying influences of bossism
and machine methods, will bo justified iu
voting agaiu.it Boss Cameron's personal
candidate for governor, Gcnoral Beaver.
Cor. Iloyt' Denial.
Gov. Hoyt has made tho statement with
respect to tho charges that he had used
tho state's funds for private speculative
purposes, aud that to avoid disgrace ho
bad appealed to Senator Cameron to corao
to his assistance, which the latter did. ne
says :
" I wa; never the member of auy pool
engaged iu stock speculation. I de&iro to
state, emphatically and without qualifica
tiou, that 1 havo never reqiitssti'd in per
son or by agent, of Mr. Cameron auy
financial assistance, cither for myself or
anybody elso ; that ho has never advanced
one dollar to mo or iu my bch.ilf or
on my account in any transaction, and
that I havo never had any relation or con
nection in business with any party or com
biuatiou or pool to whom he may havo
advanced money, diiectly or indiieetly.
So far in life I havo not been compelled
to draw on cither tho intellectual, moral,
political, or financial resources of that
gentleman. This attack is doubtless a
pait of their discipline of extermination
to which I am to bo subjected in common
with a largo number of other citizens of
tho commonwealth. Wo accept the situa
tion." See That the Names are pelted lll-hr.

gheny county tho usual tally sheets fur

Pattison," instead of "Robert E. Pattison."
This may have been an unintentional
error ; it may have been done by design
Iu either case it is well that tho people of
all sections should be warned against
similar dangers of misreportiug the truo
return.0. Ofcourso tho error iu Allegheny
will be guardcd.against by tho local De
mocracy there, aud tho opposition may as
woll understand that we do not propose to
bo cheated out of the verdict which the
voters honestly intend to render.

Crashed in an Klevator The Horrible Acci
dent That Happened to an Employee
iu a. Philadelphia Hotel
William Barber was horribly crushed iu
tho elevator at the Lafayetto hotel, Phila
delphia. The unfortunato man on the day
before had been engaged to take charge
of the elevator, which is located in the
south front of the hotel. As the ponder
ous machine came down to the ground
floor Barber thought that something had
lodged beneath it, aud he jumped out to
see what tho trouble was, giving the regu
lating rope a pull to start the elevator, so
that ho could get a sight underneath.
When the elevator began to move, fearing
that it might go too far up, he attempted to
jump ou. As he did so ho missed bis
footing and fell to tho platform, with his
legs dangling out over tho side. He
attempted to pull himself in.. It was too
late, however, and his logs were eangbt
between the edge of the platform and tbo
brick wall, a spaco less than five inches
wide. With a shriek whieh rang through
tho lower part of tho hotel the poor vic
tim fell over on his face, and his limbs
wcro crushed as the elevator continued to
move on. The terrified attendants
rushed to tho rescuo, but tho elevator as
cended to the third floor before it could be
stopped. For a distance of over thirty
feet the unfortunato niau's limbs had
been squeezed between tho wall aud tbo
elevator, aud when ho was taken out,
wonderful to say, he was not dead, and
has siuce been taken to tho Pennsylvania
hospital, where it is hoped be may re
cover. The platform of the elevator and
tho sidos of tho elevator wall were smeared
with blood, and tho accident caused a
most profound sensation throughout the
hotel The victim has been until recently
a resident of New York.

iug, the occasion being tho holding of
services in celebration of tho thirty-fourth
anniversary of the ladies' city tract soci
ety. Tho services opened with a volun
tary by the choir, and tho singing of a

Rev. M. Frayne led in prayorj Rev. W. C
Robinson, pastor of tho church, road
scriptural selections, and after tho singing
'of a hymn, read tho annual report of tho
secretary. Tho latter was a document of
somo length and an earnest exposition of
the character and scopo of the org.miza
tion. It pointed, out the good that
has been accomplished through the
distribution of tracts and religious works,
and pleads for aid and sympathy in carry

ligious reading. About 650 church papers
such as 3Foraoian, Presbyterian, Good
Ncidh, American Messenger, Lutheran Mis
tionary and many others, a large number
of Sabbath school papers, including a
goodly number of books that were donated
have been distributed.
Tho secretary, Mrs. Annie M. Gundakcr,
states thcro is groat need iu somo parts
of tho city for reading matter lcligions
and secular, and many an evening now
spent by young men in bad company
would be otherwise occupied if they wore
given something to road, and that would
keep them at home. Books or papers
sent to tho depository, at Mr. Luther Foil
Dcrsmith's book store, will bo thankfully
received and distributed.
Twelve children havo been gathered into
Sabbath schools who havo not heretofore
received any religions instructions on the
Sabbath. Eight families wcro found
without tho Holy Bible, and theso have
been supplied with a copy through the
kindness of the City Bible society. Many
persons who havo not been attending
church havo promised to do so, aud sev
eral have been induced to connect them
selves with the church and are regular
attendants at Divine service.

THE BOSS ltl)01iCK.t.N(;.
Kev. Dr. XeGallagh Denounce the Irih
Circular From Hie l'ulpit.
Beforo beginning his sermon at the late
mass in St. Mary's Catholic church yes
terday morning, Rev. Dr. P. J.McCuI
lagh, the pastor, said ho had been con
sidering over a matter that had becu
brought to his notice, but which from
motives that his hearers might woll under
stand, he had hesitated from mentioning
publicly. Ho bad, however, . concluded
that it was his privilege as pastor
of this congregation, to enter his
protest against the attempt that
has been made iu certain quarters to
mix politics with religion and to sub
vert the holy influences of tho church to
advancing the interests of any political
party. Alluding to tho circulation among
the Catholics hero of tho Tablet, a so
called Catholic weekly newspaper,' which
has been bought up by the boss managers
of the state and used for political purposes,
Dr. McCullagh said that he had received
one of theso papers and the accompany,
iug documents, and ho regarded it as a
personal insult to himself and au
affront to every other Catho'io
who had received them. Dr. Mc
Cullagh said thore were men in tha con
gregation who had been insulted ia tho
same way ; and without any desiro to in
fluence the political conduct of any mem
ber of bis congregation he could not but
raise his voico in protest against tho in.
dignity that has been impliedly put upon
the Catholic churoh by tho distribution of
such documents among its members. Aud
when it is considered that they who lend
themselves to this work at heart
are not Catholics but mere pro
tenders, masquerading in the garb
of tho church the anno eflcctually to
accomplish their purpose, tho insult to tho
religion become iuteMtitied, and calculated
lo &tir tho !i(:iiutio:i of every honest be-
Itover in tho cited, r rum bis knowledgo
ot some of tho men cmicrrncil in this un
hallowed work of n-irchitg ixliticB with
religion, ho could hay th'v vu-i.. not Cath-
I ohes, though professing

to be Mich, and
obscurity of tho others he felt
certain that, they were persons of tho
same stamp, and consequently not worthy
to stand as the champions of "tho Catholic
faith. Iu private conversation tho eloquent
young pastor of St. Mary's has expressed
similar views to tho.tu above report ciL
nis remarks havo created a marked im
pression among the Catholics of this city
and are considered a just rebuke of ono of
the vilest attempts to play upon tho
prejudices of raco and erted thnt &aa Iiuku
known in tho history or 'polifl.' "Whtlc
Dr. McCullagh spoke with cousiderablo
warmth, his language was free frora-parti-san
bias and in admirable taste, aud tho
evident reluctance with which he alluded
to the matter at all and the delicacy aud
dignity with which ho treated it plainly
showed that ho was guided only by a du
siro to protest against the introduction of
politics into the holy sanctuary of men's
religious convictions.

Tho last grand rally of the Iudevendent
Republicans was held at Fulton opera
house, Saturday oveuing. Tho hall was

presidents and secretaries.

logized Governor Hoyt for his manly letter
in behalf of tho Independents, and called
upon truo Republicans who wanted to
savo the party to voto for John Stewart
for governor.
Sir. Martin was followed by Hon. Ceo.
Lear, Gov. Hartranft's secretary. Ilo
dwelt at considerable length in justifica
tion of his courso in entering the Stalwart
convention, aoting as its president, and
then opposing its nominees. Ilo held
that they were mere tools of the Camerons
selected by him long beforo the time of
the convention. He explained botcdeie
gates were roped in by tho 'Cameron
henchmen as soon as they arrived at Har
risburg and wheedled or bought or bribed
by promises of future offices into support
of the machino candidates. Ho bitterly
denounced Tom Cooper for assuming tho
title of chairman aud arrogating to him
self the power of calling together tho
defunct state convention tofi'f the vacancy
caused by the declination of Tool Marshall
to stand as candidate for coiigreanmaiat
Iarge. Ho was very bitter against Rawlo
for his aristocratic snobbery in aping tho
nobility of England. Mr. Lear's speech
was delivered with much- foicc.
contained some very Btrong point
against the Cameron machine, but was a
good deal marred by an egotistical and un
necessary eulogy or nfmseti aad bis con
duct of the office of attorney general. , Ho
boasted of having written theHactranft
messages, and that he was so familiar with
i the duties of all public offices in Harrisburg
tu.it no couiu go into any or the depart
