FISHING FOR GUDGEONS. 1 PAIR 6P SWINBLEU WIS FAILED T 11EB A HAIL IN TMIS C1TT. They Visit Business Places en North Queen Street and Attempt the Change Racket Police After the Strangers. The Lancaster papers of lest evening had an account of tlie appearance lu Columbia en Thursday evening of two swindlers, who were working tlie change racket. They ucceeded in getting mere money than they were entitled te at two different places, but Iho ttlck was discovered and they were followed and made te disgorge. Strange te say, the men were net arrested tliore, but were allowed te take the evening train for Lancaster. Twe men, answering tlie description of this pair or sharpers, made ttieii- appear anne In Lancaster, and they tried te work their game between 11 and 1 o'clock Friday. They started In near the upper end of North Queen street and ene of them seemed te be working en each side of the street. One first stepped at Little's grocery store, at New and North Queen streets, and purchased a blacking brush from a boy in charge, for ten cents. The fellow produced a f lOnete te pay for the brush, and about .hattlmeMr. Little came into Iho stere. The stranger said, " perlinps you can change a $20 bill." .Mr. Little said he could net, and te break a ?I0 bill It would take murochange than hodeslrod te glve out. The fellow Bald he would be back latter and take the brush, but he failed te put In an appearance. The ether man stepped at Eckmau's stere, at North Queen and Frcderlck streets, and offered a $10 bill in payment for cigars, but thoie was net sufficient change In te break it. The man who was at Little's went from tliore U the store of Select Councilman D. K. Leng, at North Queen and James streets, nud purchased two flve cent cigars. He threw down a f 10 bill, and Mr. Leng gave him a Je geld plece and the remainder in silver. The fellow asked for a 85 nete. for the silver, "but Mr. Leng suspected something nud would net glve it. This stranger then went te Jacob Gruel's confectionery, II. F. Web er's grocery and the olllce of Alderinnu Dellet. At each of lliose places he asked for a nete for 55 worth of silver. It wus net given te him, but he was told that the Northern bank was opeu and he cenld get it there. He did net go te the bank how hew how evor. While this man was working the western side of the street the ether was en the op ep op pcslte slde. The latter stepped in Smeltz's store, at the corner ofLemon street, and purchased a box of baking powder; he gave a $10 bill, but it was net changed. Frem tliore he went te II. M. Ilyus' shoe store, where he negotiated for a seven cent button hook. He produced a ?20 bill, but when Mr. Ilyus said he would have te go te the bank for change the fellow disap peared. A man named Keudig, whofellowod the men down North Quceu street, and knew what their gaine was, Informed 0111 cer Burns and Constnble Nehr. By that tlme the men hud gene down North Queen street and gotten away. The man who was in Leng's stere was heavily built, and he would probably welgli about 185 pounds. He thou were a black Derby hat and dark blue coat and pantaloons, but no vest. In the afternoon at 3 o'clock a man who looked like him was been going up North Queen street in a street car. Alder man Delict and Constable Nehr went out te the upper Reading station ami found the man who had been en the street car. lie was talking te a countryman, but was net .dressed like the man with the big bills was in the morning, as he had a vest en and wero alight hat. Ah the nldcrnian was net positive that this was the man he had seen he was net arrested, and he left in tiie 4 o'clock train. Bofero he went away he waH joined by another who may have been the second meney changer, and they loll together. Beth men had satchels nud umbrellas and curried dusters. The men who tried thochunge game had plenty of glO and ?20 bills in their vesi pockets. The nete glven te Mr. Leng was taken te the bank, as there was mjiuo'sus mjiue'sus mjiuo'sus plclen about it and it was pronounced genuine. Tliore is HRle or no doubt that they are the same fellows who were in Columbia, iut theirjjaine did net succeed here. m A Farmer Prebnhly l'utally Injured. Cuiustiana, July 12. Hubert Irwin, a farmer, living in West Salisbury, Chester county, while putting away his wheat crop en Ihursday, fell from the square te the barn fleer, a distance of eighteen feet, and injured himself seriously. The physician has little liope of his recovery. The excursien yesterday te Ml. Gretna was thoroughly onjeyod by all who partic ipated in it. It was net a success finan cially for the association who wero the mauagers. The political pet is slmniering. Mur luuiiugs of discontent at the manipulations of Bess Quay, in soiling up the Republican ticket, are heard from every quarter of the Republican camp, particularly among tlie farmers, many of whom openly avow their purpese te support I'attisen, Black, and the whele state ticket. Tills is mero especially the case in Chester county, wljere we expect a decided decrcase in the usual Republican majorities. The Herse Slipped the Bridle. The liorse of Jehn Apple, of Manhelm borough, hitched te a buggy, slipped Ills brldle en Friday morning, in front of the rosidence of II. M. Mayer, near Peters burg, while Mr. Apple was in the heuse attending te seme business. Tlie liorse ran te this city, and en Marletta avonue lie ran te the pavoment, which he kept for some distance. At Ornuge and Mulberry stroets a man crossing tlie street was knocked down by the horse, but was net injured. At Qrange and .Market streets the wagon struck the lamp-pest and was badly wrocked. The herse was unable te drag the vohlcle, which was caught in the pest, and was captured. The buggy was badly wrecked. A WarnlnirfNet Heeded. When the rush for tlie seashore and ether summer resorts began some time age, Chlof of Tollce Bergor, through the news papers, gave the poeplo a tliiiely"warnin--: which few have! heeded, lle then said ir the peeple who went away and loll their hoif-es unoccupied should leave word te that eirect, with ,the number, of their residences at the station heuse lie would instruct the police te keep their eyes en tlie premises, and glve thorn apedal care Very few of the peeple have paid any atten tion te this, although tin sonie bquarcs of this city there are as many as half a dozen houses without occupant". If thieves should break into these houses many of the peeple would he the first te inquire of the whereabouts of the police Failure of u Druggist. II. M.

TUB 40,000,000 GALLON RESEltVOUl. Preliminary Step Taken Leeking te Its Construction at An Early Day. The water committee of councils, as in structed by councils at the July meeting, visited the westean section of the city en Friday afternoon. The object of the visit was te leek for a alto for a proposed new reservoir, te give the people of that section of the city a better water supply. The lands available for the new reservoir are located .west of Franklin and Marshall college. The tract consist of twenty-two and a half acres, and is the property of J. CI. Sweat man, of Philadelphia. The committee authorized Mayer Clark te enter into a cor respondence with Mr. Sweattnan, in refer ence te soiling the same te the city, and the price at which be holds It, This tract is a very desirable one for the purpese, being en very high ground. The proposed reservoir would cover an area of ten acres and Its capacity would be 40,000, 40,000, OOPgallens. The reservoir when completed will be twelve feet higher than the present reservoirs. The new reservoir would be supplied with water from the 36 Inch main by tapping It at New street. City Regu lator Herr, who accompanied the com mittee, was Instructed te make a survey and plans and report prebable cost te the committee Bofero this Important work can be done an ordinance must be passed by councils authorizing the work and directing a submission te the people for authority te lncroasellio debl of the city te pay for the Improvements. A vote en the question may be had at a special election or it may be held en the day of the regular election next spring. IN HAW CONDITION. The Mayer nud Water Committee Urpre Contractor Schwoers te Finish Ills Werk The lewer end of Seuth Queen street has been in an almost Impassible condition for sonie weeks by reason of the oxtenslen of the electric street car line and the laying of a water main. After the street was dug up by the street car men aud the ties laid, nothing further could be done en account ofthenon arrival of rails. An ofllcer of tlie street carcempany was seen te-day and he says the rails were premised and should have been hore. When asked when they were erdered he said en the 3d of July and premised en the 7th. As preparation was made soveral weeks age for the oxtenslon of this street car line, the orderlng of rails wasdolayed unnccessarily. The street car officers say the city is responsible for the Impassibility of the street aud they have done alt they could te avoid complaint. When their attention was called te the accumulation of dirt they had it put te ene side of the street, se as te allow teams te pass. The bad condition of the st root Is said te be the fault of Herman Schwoers, the contractor for the trench for the new water main from its terminus en Seuth Queen street. Before going far with his work he struck rock and from that tlme his progress has been very slew. Numerous complaints were made te the mayor about the blocking of this street and en Friday the water committee went down te take a leek at it. Thecomirilttee Instructed the con tractor te'push the work mero rapidly and he said he would net get the hands. The mayor suggested that the commlltee socure laberers for him and the committeo favored the suggestion. The mayor upon his re turn secured tight additional laborers and will get mero by Monday and will person ally see that the work is pushed te a spcedy completion aud tlie strcet put in a passable condition. TIIE ELECTRIC CAlt COMPANY. The Delay In Furnishing the Itead Said te Be Tet Their Vault. The stroet car company ollleers are dis heartened at tlie delay in getting thclr-line iu working order. Their contract with the Daft company called for the completion of ten cars and the read lu running order by June 1. They have wired and written many times te knew the cause of delay and the answer reeeived is that their men are working night and day te get out erders. The trouble is this electric supply company has undertaken tee many contracts and de net have the facilities fur turning out the amount of work contracted for. Lancaster Is net the only city complaining. Information re ceived by the electric company of this city is that everywhere where electric reads are being built there is Ilia same complaint. Reads that should have been finished in January are no uoarer completion than the Lancaster read. The Lancaster company expect te have its new turnout near tbe car stables finished In time te run three cars te-morrow te Potts'. When( It la completed the cars en this line can run en n ten minute schedule. The city is being wired as rapidly as pos sible, the olectrlc plant is here and will be seen put in position, and by the first or August the company confidently ex poet te have their cars running evor their entire route. The Delivery or Mall. Pestmaster Oriest's Iwiuircr has an odi edi odi terial urging the better direction of loiters. A great deal of delay in the dollvery of mall, and much annoyance te all con cerned is occasioned by the errors,' care lessness or wilful neglect of peeple in di recting Jetters. " The Incomplctciiess of direction is olten a fortile seurce of delay aud olten of failure te reach the destination at all. This is especially trne of free do de lively ofnees. Seme persons have u habit of mailing letters directed te a porseu, ad ding simply " city." This may answer if the individual addressed is a well known rcsident, but It is much botter te add tlie street and number, the formeralono if the latter is net known. It is net an uncom mon thing for letters te be properly di rected except that at the last they are sent te the wrong state. At the postefllco in this city letters are almost dally rocelved directed te Lancastcr,Fa.; intended for Lan caseor, Ohie, Lancaster, Kentucky, Lancas eor, Seuth Carolina, or some ether Lancas ter, of which there are many iu tbe United States. In tlie postelfico at Lancaster it is an ever' day occurreueo for letters te be dropped witheuta stamp, Sometimes they amount te 5 or 0 per day, sometimes but 1 er'J, but seldem a day passes when this does net occur."

Hew Mining Is Conducted Nevel Hull way Seven Furnaces Supplied by the Product ofThlsSliiRle Field. Cornwall Cerr. of Pittsburg Dispatch. Situated llke a great barrier be tween two fertile, valleys, which are new covered with Immense fields of tbe finest grain, Mid at the base of ene of the branch ranges of the Seuth Mountain, which forms the dividing line bolween Lobauen and Lancaster comities, are a group of thrce hills. The Cornwall ero hill, tlie general outline or which does net Impress the travoler as being of any especial intorest when seen at a distance, but as they are approached the peculiar rusty color of tbe surface, tlie few plue trees scattered here aud there ever thorn, and tbe noticeablo absence of ether vegetatlnn, attract at tention. But it is only when clese te thorn that the gray color of the rock is seen, and tills glves ene the Impression that soma valuable deposit is contained lu these hills. The three hills are known as Big Hill, Middle Hill and Grassy or. West Hill, in erder from cast te west. The Big Hill, which Is tlie largest of the three, has an elevation of botween -300 and 400 feet, and covers about 50 ueres. The Middle and Grassy Hills are hardly mero than 100 feet high. This range of hills Is composed of solid ero, and forms a deMslt which Is net approached In richness or extent by any known iron or ero deposit In this country, unlrtBK it be the Lake Superior mines. The varlety of Iren ero which predominates is that known among geologists as "mag netic," but in souie portions of Iho moun tains large beds of iron pytltes are leuud, which makes the ero dillfeult te smelt mi mi less it has previously been "reasted" and most of the sulphur removed. In the Middle Hill a line quality el copper ero is found iu veins, sonie of which are mero than tluoe feet iu thickness. "Traces of ether mlnerals are occasionally found, und Dana in his manual mentions as many as 20 varieties of rocks aud minerals which have been met with he re. The hills are all terraced aud mining operations are carried en along these ter races. The Big Hill Is surrounded by a spiral railway which Is connected by branch lines "with .each terrace from the base te the summit or, the mountain. The cars are drawn up the hill by it loeo leeo loee motivo, run into the mines and leaded, and then started down the mountain te the stock yard, whero each caf passes evor the scales, and an accurate account of every ten of ero that leaves the hill is kept. The amount of ero which leaves the hills annually is something enormous, In conversation with your correspondent Weighmaster Schools, of the Cornwall railroad, said : " I cannot glve you the ox ex act figures from memory, but 1 knew that mero than 35,000 tens of this ero is trans ported evor our read every mouth and I am positlve that lust as much is carried from these hills by the Cornwall Jfc Lebanon railroad. During my 'stay with this company I have weighed between six and seven million tens of ero taken from the Cornwall hills." Ne less than 12 fur naces are supplied with cre from this place It Is true that most of thein are owned and operated by the difierent branches of the Celeman family, but at least thrce ether furnaces, the Pennsylvania Steel company, atSleelten; the Duueannen Iren company and McCormick furnace, recolve a big amount of ero from Cornwall. As early as the middle of the last century the Penn brothers made a grant of land te ene Petor Grubb. Tlie tract of land In cludes what Is new valuable farm land In Lebanon and Lancaster counties, and that portion of the Seuth mountain known as , the Cornwall ero hills. By various sales and Inheritances the major estate has Cassed into the possession of the various ranches or tlie Celeman family, although about one-sixth of it Is still owned by de scendants of the original ewner. The G. Dawsen Colonial! heirs of North Lebanon, and Mr. William Freeman, of Cornwall, are the principal owners. When this grant of lipid was made the mining Interests of the country amounted (practically) te nothing, but as the years rulled en "and Revolutionary times ap proached, tlie deposit of ern becanie of greater value, and was drawn en largely te supply Iren for us in tlie war. It was thou that the old charcoal furnace was built and mining begun iu earnest. A rusty single track of railroad leads te this "Old Charcoal" furnace which, for almost 100 years furnished the trade, but which of late years has bcen suporsedod by furnaces of larger proportions aud cap'ibfe of greater output. Te-day se veral old can non are found In the furnace which had been prepared for usu iu the war. Twe competing lines of railroad carry the ero te its destination. Originally only one single track Hue was used te bring the ero te Lebanon. This was the old Neith Lebanon railroad, or. as it is new called, the Cornwall railroad, which transfers its cars te the Reading read at Lebanon, but us business iucreased and transportation contracts were desired and net given, u new company wus formed, with Mr. Rebert II. Celeman, of Cornwall, at its head and the result is the beautiful Coin wall A-. Lebanon railroad with its finely equipped cars and lucoiuetUes and every known appllance for safety iu railway travel. The Cornwall .t Lebanon rail road hus an outlet e or the Pennsylvania lines at Conewago, and en this line we pass Mount Gietna, the beautiful picnic park and encaiiipment ground for state and national troops. Tlie Cornwall ero mines have been in ojieration since a period bofero Revolution ary times, but it is only during the past M) years that they have been working en a large scale. They ure operated by tlie Corn wall Ore Bank company, of which Mr. J. Ta ler Boyd is tlie general manager. At Cornwall there are two ether fur fur naces the Aiitlir.u-ite furnace, owned by Rebert II. Celeman, aud the Bird Coleiuau furnaces, owned by the Freeman branch of the Celeman family. The latter furnace has two stacks, and has a capacity of -!,000 tens per wcek. The Neith Cornwall lur naces, which were recently remodeled, are ewned bv Mr. W. C. Froeniau, who also owns the Douaghmero furnaces at Lebanon. In ISSO Mr. Rebert II. Celeman began building the Colebrook furnaces at Louauen, which te-day are two of the (finest furnaces lu this country, but, un fortunately, during the past year soveral fatal accidents occurred by tlie breaking out of the molten metal. The Robeseniu furnace, owned by Messrs. Borie A White, of Philadelphia, has a perpetual ri,;lit te get Cornwall iron ero for one stack and during the past few years have erccted an immeiise stack with a capacity of 00 tens per week. All these furnaces are supplied with iron ero from the Cornwall hills. Three hundred men find steady employ ment at thn ero mines and roceivo en an average $1.05 tier day. It is tiue that qulte a number of these men are Hun garians, but a large number of Americans are also at work iu these mines. Miners Village Is tlie home of most of these men, aud a picturcsrpiu place it is, Ijidy Gay's Trips. "Lady Gay," Mr. PoeplcV steamboat, docs a rushing business overy evening. On Friday evening the beat was crowded en overy trip between Potts' landing and Recky Springs, and the ride was enjoyed by all. This onlcrprise ill grew in popu larity.

One of the most torrlble disasters which has ever occurred In Neva Scotia happened In Dartmouth Friday night. At least ene hundred people are belleved te have per ished. This is only a reuch estimate and the total number may be even greater. The exact less of life will net be knew u for several days, as it will take that length of time te compile the names of these who wero killed and theso saved. Tbe Bteanier Anuex, bought In Brook lyn, N. Y.,te run as ferry between Hall fax and Dartmouth, across the harbor, arrived at Dartmouth en Friday night. The populace Hocked te the vicinity, burst open the gates leading te the wharf and rushed down te Inspect the new beat. There wero hundreds en the deck, while about a hundred mere steed en a bridge supported by two chains, used sometimes te take teams from ftrry beats. In erder te make the bridge perfectly safe and passable It was necessary that the end protruding from tlie wharf should rest en the vessel's deck. The forward part of the Annex was a few feet from the odge of the bridge, and many persons, all men, of course, leaped aboard the beat, but as they did se the crowd lu the rear pressed forward, with the result that at nine o'clock the chains supporting the bridge gave way under the weight It bere and fully ene hundred people, includiiui women .and children, were precipitated Inte the water. The cries of the unfertunate pas sengers as they battled for life lu the river were heartrending and soemod te paralyze the spectators. Ne ene insde a tuove te save tbem for some minutes, when the full nature of the accident became apparent; Then the men ou the adjoining wharves began a syste matic effort te rosette the drowning per sons. Heme wero saved by holding en te the planks from the wrocked ferry stage until belp arrived, but ethers who suc ceeded In reaching tlie beards werodiagged down te their fateby tbe wild clutches of theso who could net swim. A woman with a helpless infant In her arms ralsed it high abeve her head and. shrieked, " Fer Ged's sake, save Uiy child I" Befere help could arrlve the mer ciless waters closed ever mother and b ibe and they wero never seen again. Fifty or sixty small beats from all quarters puslied Inte the midst of Iho reeking mass of hu manity aud managed te save many lives. The battle for II lb continued for about a quarter of an hour, when quiet wasro wasre wasro Riimed and tlie waters assumed their usual placid appoarance. Gangs of men In row iieats thou set te work te pick up the bodies of the dead, but It was tee dark te make much progress. Only flve bedies, theso of a woman named Sllver, and her child, another woman named Synott, and two soldiers were taken out. The news of the accident spread like wildfire, and within half an hour a great crowd besieged the deck and the olllce of the ferry company inquiring anxiously for missing relatives and friends. Hai.itax, N.8., July 12,-Ne mero be Met have been found at the scene of last night's disaster in Dartmouth and search baa been abandoned, it being believed that there are no ether bedies te be discovered. Edward Fester, who was taken out alive last night, died te-day. His daughter was among the drewred. A STEAMER EXPLODES. Nearly a Score of Men Killed nud Many Injured lit Chlcuge. An explosion occurred en the lake steamer Tiega, at Chicago, Fiidav evenlng, while she was being unleaded. The ex plo ple plo seon was followed by flre and the vessel went te the bottom of the Chicago river. Between ion and fifteen men wero lu the fatitaii of the be.it, aud scores mere wero forward when the explosion occurred. There wero also soveral slovedoros en the deck and iu the warehouses. The crash was terrific. It sounded as though the great boilers had burst, but they wero afterward found te be Intact.

The work of ieculnglhonien who wero known te be imptisencd In wreck boneath the ofter.eabln was pushed as speedily as possible. .Frid'iy night It was thought the list of kilted numbered 17. Many wero injured. It Is bollevcd Hint the ex plosien was caused by gas generated from oil barrels, of which tliore was said te have been 200 near the fantall. The shock was se great that windows wero broken half a mlie away, lu the neighborhood of the Tiega glass fell iu showers from the windows of the big buildings. Scarcely a pane or glass was left en tlie river fiontef the Star and descent mill, nud lu Washington and Ran Ran eolph streets as far cast us Franklin much damage was done. 'Iho damage te the Tiega was great. The fantall was de streyed, and the afler cabin looked as though a torrent of the solid shot had swept through it. Tlie sky light was thrown up en the top of one of the suioke stacks. At ten o'clock the stern of the beat settled iu tlie mud.

HE CALLS UPON REPUBLICANS OP TIIE STATE TO VINblCATB THEflJELm The Domination or Quay Mieuld Net Be Verinltted Detamnter's Failure te Answer Twe Herleils Charges. Henry Charles leu, of Philadelphia, has Riven a decided nud emphatic answer te ie ridiculous stories that he had decided In abandon his position as n thorough anti Quay Independent Republican In the fol lowing letter: Te ihe Republicans of Pennsylvania! It Is net often that any political organiza tion has such an opportunity of redeeming Itself from a corrupt domination as that which Is effered te us In the Nevember election. Fight years age, in iSS'i, the thoughtful members of the Republican party rese agalustthe besslsm of tbe Cam Cam eeon clique and taught it a whole some lessen, which should have served te purify our politics for n de cade. Unfortunately, the fruits of that struggle wero thrown away by the sttiduo sttidue less which allowed Mr. Quay, lu 1881, te obtain a " vindicatien'' by successfully competing for the olllce of state treasurer In spite orthe rumors which connected his name'Wlth'liilsapproprlatlen of the public funds. It was then predicted that his next step would be te secure the coming sena torial vacancy nud te supplant Mr.Camoren as the Republican boss of Pennsylvania. Theso predictions have been, unfortu nately, verified, and the results are seen lu the degradation of our iKilltleul osl esl osl tlen, which renders our ttate an object of pity and contempt throughout the Union. The besslsm of the Camcrens had in it sonie elements of inanlluess; that of Mr. Quay Is suuk te the lowest lovel of " prac tical politics," bused as It is solely en the adroit manipulation of jmlreuagu Inspired by the meanest solfishness. It ropresents net one single Idea of Republican states manshlp and public policy, but only t'.ie determination te rule or ruin. The selfish ambition of the boss and his henchmen Is Us sole guiding principal, aud Its methods, as exhibited in Cambria county, are theso of tbsnoak-thlef and feet-pad when tlie distribution of the spoils falls te ell'ect Its ebjects. As lu 1881 Mr. Quay again cemes bofero you for n " vindication." Then the accu sations against hlin wero simply rumors, the truth of which few had an opportunity of Investigating. New these rumors have assumed the shape of public charges, strengthened by every detall of tlmeapd Glace and circumstance, and te them have eon ndded accusations of subsequent mal feasances committed by him, of even greater criminality, similarly weighted with mero than abundant de tails. It is net necessary te repeat te you tlie humiliating story or a public life stained with every variety of political immorality. That story has beer scattered broadcast evor tlie land by journals of the hlghest stand ing, which have defiantly challenged iiim te assert and defend his Inuoeetico by suing them for libel. The courts are open te him, and exemplary damages as well as acquittal bofero his countrymen would re ward him If he could successfully race a Jury and uudorge u cress-examination; but for mere than five months he has endured these accusations lu stolid silence, without taking a step te redoem his character. The lnovitable result is that he Is regarded as acquiescing In tlie charges and as virtually con Tessing his guilt, aud the country at large Is looking te sce whother the ence proud state of Pennsylvania has sunk te se low n pitch or degradation as contentedly te endure the domination of such a man. Mr. Quay, who se carnlully avoids, courts and Juries, has seemed te iningine that If the Republicans of Pennsylvania could bocezoncd into indorsing at tlie polls his candidate it would serve him as a polit ical vindication. With edifying consistency uiuster and man are equally In need of vindication, for Candidate Delamater lias been recently publicly accused by Senater lCmery of bribery te pioeure IiIh olectlou te the statu Senate, and of perjury te secure the seat thus gained. His accu ser has challenged hlui te u suit ler slander, and he bus shrunk from the courts and Juries llke his boss. He also prefers tlie apparently safer course of an indirect vindication at your hands, and asks you te humiliate yotirselvcs by olectlng te the highest olllce lu tlie statu a smirched candidate whose nomination has been forced upon you by a smirched boss. It is a high prlce that they expect you te pnv for the vindication of two such Indi viduals, and the Impudence of such a dn ninnd unen veur MiirruHiectuiii only be explained by u kind of political training which lias se completely eliminated ilghl ilghl ilghl oeusiioss from public affairs thnl its veiy oxistencu has been forgotten. Fellow-Republicans, a vindication truly is uocded at the coming olectlou, but It Is net thn vindication of tainted politicians who (lare net vindicate uieinseivc. -en are called iim te vindicate your own manhood, te vindicate the honesty of your own parly, te vindicate the honor of your own state. Yeu are called uien te show that you de net wear the cellar of Mr. Quayj that your vetes are net te be bought and sold by the manipulation of patronage, and that you are net te be driven te the polls like cattie te make geed tlie bar gains of your bosses. Yeu are culled upon te teach u losseu te your self constituted masters, and te show. the coun ceun tiynl large that the grand old party may still be trusted te manage the aflalrs of the nation. If Pennsylvania, the stronghold of Republicanism, Iho typical Republican state, lamely acqulosces lu the debauched domination of Quayisiii, and proclaims that Messrs. Quay and Dulaiiiulur are its trusted and honored leader, what chance think you, will the Republican party have when it asks tlie support of the sober sec ond thought of the country lu IkVll Re bellion against usurped domination of such leadors is tlie truest fidelity te party and the hlghest duty of patriotism. Fortunately, the canvass Is one which can 1)0 made te turn exclusively en local issues. On ail general questions you can glve practical expression te your couvi'j ceuvi'j couvi'j liens by voting for the congressional and legislative candidates who represent them, and you cm thus emphasize the rebuke which you iidinlulster te tlie methods and morals of Quay ism. In ox-Governer I'at I'at tieon tlie Domecrals have glven you an un exceptionable candidate, whose record shows that the interests of the state will be safelu ills hands. If In making that record he earned tlie hostility of the giant corpor ations If tlie Influence ofthe Pennsylvania railroad and of the standard Oil company Is understood te be ceunted upon by Mr. Delamater It Is only anotliercliilinenyour HUllragcs for Mr. Puttiseu. He represents net only the poeplo against tlie bosses but the iKiople against tlie corporations, and Ills doleat will be the triumph of all that is most dangerous aud most deadly te our institutions.
