BOSS GOVERNMENT INIMICAL TO FAITHFUL PUBLIC SERVICE —PROFUSE EXt'ENDITt RE NOT ONLY BURDENSOME BUT GENETATES IN OFFICIALS A SPIRIT OF PROFLIOACY OTHER POINTS. PiiiLADELi-ni A, September 2D. —The re ception tendered to the I>emocratic State candidates last night was a grand success. At least TOO invited guests. * representing the Democracy in all parts of the State, congregated in the elegant rooms of the Commonwealth Club to do honor so I'attison, Clark, Itlack, Africa and Elliott, all of whom were present and were greeted by an admiring throng. For two hours, commencing at 9 o'clock leading Democrats took part in the levee, interrupted only when l'rinton Case arose and delivered an address of wel come. At the conclusion of Mr. Case's speech Mr. I'attison took a commanding poi tion in the main room of the suite allot ted to the reception and made his open ing speech of the campaign, lie said : Mr. President and Gentlemen: I thank the Commonwealth Club for this tribute to the State candidates. I am glad to be present at a reception ten dered by an association which, as I im derstand, bad its origin in the desire to assist in placing the Democratic par ty in Philadelphia in accord with the popular demand for administrative re torm and the purification of the public service. My engagements as a public official have made it impossible for me to embrace the many opportunities hith erto presented for meeting the people throughout the State. I do not mean to neglect the duties of one office for the purpose of being elevated to another. I can not resist a feeling of diffidence when I contemplate tbo importance of the responsible office for which I have been named. The reflection which 1 have given to the subject has strengthened my conviction ot the magnitude of the trust imp>osed upon the executive of the Commonwealth. The people, through their constitution have commanded that he "shall take care that the laws Bre faithfully execu ted." This injunction carries with it a weight of meaning that grows in impor j tance with attentive consideration. It means more than that the Governor shall be a mere automaton to sign bis name to acts of legislation, nominate men to office and draw his yearly -alarv. The constitution invests him with the highest and gravest responsibilities. Ry his veto, if faithfully and firmly exer ci.sed, the Governor is a check upon hasty, extravagant and pernicious legis lation.l He has the right to require an account of their stewardship from the beads of all executive departments. The Treasurer, who is the custodian ot the people's money j the Auditor General, who is the chief accounting officer of the Commonwealth, nd the inspector of every draft drawn against the treasury ; the Secretary of Internal Affairs, who has a general supervision of the corp>o rations of the State and her business and material interests; the Attorney Gen oral, the Superintendent of Public instruction, the Secretary of the Com ; monwealth—all are subject to the in quiry of the chief magistrate of the peo | pie charged with the faithful execution of the criminal law also is in his keep I ing. By the inordinate exercise of exec utive clemency the prison doors may lie opened and transgressors of the law al lowed to escape just punishment. It is a mistake to suppose that the favorable decision of the Pardon Board is conclu sive upon the executive. The recom mendations of thst board are advisory only. By the fundamental law the final power to grant pardon* is vested in the Governor, who alone ia responsible for tbe exercise of this grave duty. I take advantage of thia opportunity to say that in my judgment the issues of tbe coming election are confined with in the four corner* of our State. Be tween Lake Erie and the Peleware and from the northern tier to the southern t-order Is to he found the re**on for eve ry question legitimately entering into the contest. Any attempt to import issues Wan effort to detract public at tention from the real questions involv ed in the campaign. Tbl* occasion would not justify me in making a lengthy speech. It may he fitting, however, that 1 briefly atate one or two thoughts upon matters that im press me a* important for present pub lic consideration. Gne of tLe gravest evils in our political system is tbe low estimate of duly held by public fune tionsries. Tbi arise# from their failure to recognise this fundamental idea of oat government; thatja public office i * ft public trust to bo executed for the benefit of the whole people. When this conception of duty in lost sight of, or modified, the way is open lor an imme diate, cerium and constant degeneracy of the public service. A merely me chanical nnd negligent performance of official functions follows the obliteration of these standards of duty. This results from the long continuance in power of selfish political leaders, and is n most serious evil in the public service. a public trust to bo executed for tbe benefit of the whole people. When this conception of duty is lost sight of, or modified, the way is open for un imme diate, certain anil constant degeneracy of the public service. A merely me chanical and regligent performance of official functions follows the obliteration of these standards of duty. This results from the long continuance in power of selfish political leaders, and is a most serious evil in tbe public service. No one can estimate the injury and loss the peoplo sutler from tins cause alone. There is a very widespread dis content at what is forcibly ctiled "Boss'' government. This is not without reas on. Popular discontent has generally good cause, for the people have no ud vantage in unnecessary agitation and disorder. The great evil of "Boss'" gov ernment is that the interest of the otfi ciftl is made inimical to faithful punlic service, llis interest is not on the side of fidelity to tbe public weal, but on that hf abject obedience to the orders of the "machine," und lie follows lus interest. A wise economy may be rn forced in tbe public expense. Profuse expenditure by government is not only burdensome itself but generates in of ficials a spirit of profligacy which per meates even private life. Extnvagnnce breeds extravagance. Every useless expenditure creates an excuse if it does not cause a necessity for further waste. I'hia is irue in many ways, not always preccptibh) to the public, Gut winch become apparent upon an investigation of systems. Peculation may be gross, but can be detected. Mere financial extravagance can be measured and eor rected. The usual and ordinary leaks at last discover themselves, nnd can be stopped. But there is a profligacy that invites gystems, that is wrapped up .n statutes, that has the protection ot law and the warrants of long usage. It is the growth of years, has been line upon line written into your legislation, represents the concentrated ingenuity of a succes sion of public plunderers and extends from the highest department in the State to the lowest in the municipal. One manifestation of the abuse may be designated by the term " place nuk ing." The numerous multiplications of offices, the creation of useless anil extravagant boards, trusts aud coin missions, is a broad channel of waste through which the people ar<- yearly despoiled ol millions. A serviceable politician is out of a place and must be provided tor. A Recorder's office is im mediately created. A junta of leaders determine to j>ool their designs upon the treasury. A dependent Legislature inflicts a delinquent tax otliccupon the community. The spoils still being found insufficient, some vast public works are designed, as suggested, big enough to take m -oine Ol the BMdy of both parties. The abolition of un necessary offices, the reduction of the number of public dependencies, the i the narrowing ot responsibility and economy in tbe public exp • use consti tute an urgent and practicable reform. To lessen the the cost of government | lightens the burdens of labor. I lie authors and abettors of the evils under which the people sutler are now on their trial in this Commonwealth. After a long stewardship* they will t o judged by deeds Mnil not by declarations. I'm fessions are easily made, but the p>eop-le have been fed on such dry huk* so long that they have resolved to deter mine who shall be their servants, not by what is |>romised tor the luture, but by what has been done in the p>ast. I again thank this organisation for the kindness ol tins reception nnd the opportunity it has afforded me of say ing these brief words." During tbe delilvery of the address Mr. I'attison was frequently interrupt ed with ap-pdause, ami at its conclusion the halls resounded with p Iftudits. WONT GO REAVER. TOM MARSHALL ON OAMXRON*! MARIONETTE ANI* THE "CAMERON GANG." " Eloquent Tom M .rh*ll." as the Stalwart organs dubbed him the morn ing alter General Beaver declared that "God had railed him" to be the Stal wart candidate tor Congre -men st Larg. has been giving his vi-a* of General Beaver am! the "Cameron Gang" to reporters, from which we cojpy the following exlt.o t : " I will vote this year for Chirk, the Democratic candidate for.lt •• of Su preme Court, because I •• is the best man named for the p-tnci." " I am op>|>od to C'anteronism in all its forms and the success of the regu lsr ticket would mean the pcrpe'unlion of the Cameron power m the State. The Independent p>olicy should he t<* extir pate the entire gang in the country ** well as in ih<* Stale. Tt e roots if left will "tiring up* in n new growth and flourish." " Beaver is as vrlaiile as a child and I cannot make two sucres-ive spveerhe* | without contradicting himself. Nor I do I believe in his sincere convictions on any luhjert. lie went over to Cam eron because he wanted to lie f Jovernor |as everyl>ody ktiow, and yet he i im# to me alter uiv nomination and threw his arms about my neck. "God has railed you. Mr. Marshall,' he said. 'lt is your duty as a Christian man to ac cpp>.' Bah !" "This Independent feeling has been underestimated. It will be represented at the polls on election day by several hundred thousand votes. If it is nec essary there will be thousand of Re publican* who will vote for Pattison di rect. Why should they not ? Jt is necessary to overthrow Cameron rule in this Htate that the Republican party may live. What matters it to us who ia governor, so that he is an honest man? He appoints s few Sealer* of Weights and Measures, a Secretary of Sute and an Attorney General. I'atti son will make good appointments and there hia interest npw*n our personal welfare or comfort, or, for the matter of that, upvon our party welfare, will end. We will cast a hundred thousand Republican votes lor Stewart. Three hundred and fifty thousand Kepubli can vote# will be cast for Reaver. Four hundred thousand Democratic vote* will be cast for Pattison. We will show that we have a Republican majority in the State of fifty thousand, and thi* determination to free the pmrly from the scandalous practices that are dia credding It will only show how strong is the Republican sentiment in the State by bringing every Republican to the polls how much stronger it i* than the Dornociatic sentiment in the State." " Do not iitiderHtAiid that the vote for Stewart will represent uli the Indepen dent strength inj the Slate. Many thousand Republican* opposed to the Cameron* and their acnuuiilou* follow ing will vote for Reaver from a mist a k en impression that the party will be imperilled by his defeat. Ry In* defeat we will be nil the stronger next year, and the election of a lew Demorrnt* will I >esmall cost to pay lor the release we will thereby gain from this mention Hint threaten* to carry down the party to the depths." " Mr. Cameron hns more control over General Reaver and the whole Slate ticket than I have over my own otlice. When Cameron puts down hi* foot and *ny* this and that hit" to tie done tjuny A Co. have to get out of the way. I object to Cameron because ho abuses the position he hold* corruptly, and 1 know it. ID- gives away office* to con irol delegate*, and if culled upon I am prepared to give name* ; as to the tick rt. 1 believe he can pull it down when ever lie pleasen, and put it up whenever he pleases, and I further believe that it is a disgrace to the people of PennsA 1 vania that any one man should have such power. There am stronger and alder men in every county in the State than Cameron, and I don't know by what light he should he a dictator." What do jou think of the tarill' iiwiie " The idea of the ti*riJF being the is sue between regular Republicans and the Independents is silly, and i* a de* perate endeavor to sati-ly the selfish in terest" of the manufacturers. The question of tariff i not and should not l>e a political question, and the Repub licans of the west and south are aa anti tariff in their ideas as the Democrats." Then you rather blame the manufac turers ? '• 1 think the manfaclurera have set a bad ex mple by importing labor on the occasion of strikes. If to import foreign iron is had policy to import for < ign labor is worse. lam opposed to all secret societies which take away the individuality and free will of man, and Inm opposed to strikes. I atn also op posed to the importing of laboring men, because it creates a permanent competition to free American labor. I have known of three or four hundred glass workers being brought here, and subsequently 1 have known of them going to the poor house."
