SPEECH OF 11. E. FORTNEY, DEMI -
ERED AT MAIMSONM R4, Dot.
2.1, IHH2.
When 1 last addressed yod from this
stand we were in the middle of the
Hancock campaign. Y'ou were confi
dent that the eminent soldier and pat
riot who bore our standard would be
oar next President. Notwithstanding
the fact that be had suffered much for,
and rendered great service to his coun
try in timo of war, the republican*
fought him as desperately as though ha
bad been the chief of traitors. This
same republican party is now seeking
out and soliciting the aid and support
of the soldier for the stalwart candidate
for governor because forsooth, he has
been a soldier. To them the old
soldier has become a great favorite,
but only to vote. When he desires a
nomination at the hands of the Cbunty
Convention for so small an office as .' ury
Commissioner the stalwart candidates
friends refuse the poor boon because the
one armed soldier does not suit their
purpose. Their patriotism is confined
only to party and their fealty to and
love for the old soldier is only shown
when they desire his vote for stalwart
cand d t's. On our part this campaign
has been commenced and must be
fought and won on the question of re
form. That reform is needed is demon
strated by the fact that both of the great
political parties have emphatically dc
clarad for it, in one form or another
through atate and national conventions,
regularly for the last ten year*. Re
form in the civil service. Reform in our
system of internal revenue system. Re
form in the tariff, and reform in every
department of the government state
and national has been vigorously de
manded by the people, and insolently
refused by the party in power.
There has been a living and growing
sentiment in favor of reform come up
from the rank and file of the Republican
party to its conventions, which deman
fled and recieved recognition in spirited
resolutions, made a* it afterward* ap
peared for the ear. and only to be brok
en to the hope. So often had .this been
done that honest intelligent and faith
ful republicans have refused to longer
submit to being betrayed,trampled upon
and ruled by tne machine and the boss,
have organized a revolt and de*
mand that the promise of reform made
shall be put into execution,
The republican party in 1872 by its
notional convention declared that "any
aystem of civil service under which the
subordinate poeitions of the government
are considered rewards for party zeal ia
fatally demoralizing, and we therefore
demand a reform of the system by law*
which shall abolish the evils of patron
age and make honesty fidelity anil
efficiency the essential qualification for
public position.''
The Democrats and Liberal republi
can* in the name year made even a
stronger appeal for reform, denounced
the practice of using the civil service of
the government to promote personal
ambition, that it was a scandal and re
proach to free institution* and declared
that honesty and capacity constitute
the only valid claims to public employ
ment. In 1876 the republican party by
resolution rejoiced in the quickened
conscience of the people concerning nub
lie affairs, and resolved they would hold
all public officers toarifeid responsibility
and engaged that prosecution* and pun
ishment* of all who betray official trusts
should be swift thorough and unspair
ing.
If this declaration had been rigidly
adhered to, or if punishment of
those who betrayed official trust
bad been swift thorough and un
spairing many of the chief office
holders of the republican party, includ
ing Dorsey and Brady would now lie
found within the secure walls of the
penitentiary. In 1880 the republican
party by its convention adopted the
declaration of president Hayes that re
form in the civil service shall be thor
ough, radical and complete. These
several declarations of the republicans
were made because the honest elements
of their party demanded that reform
should be instituted, but the men who
controled the party and held the offices
persistently refused to obey the de
mands made upon them or fulfil the
promise given to the people after the
elections. The refusal of the boss to
bear the honest demands of the people
has finallv led as it naturally would, to
a disruption of the republican party.
When the stalwart Kepublicans met
in convention on the 10th of May, 1882,
they declared that public office consti
tutec a high trust to be administered
solely for the people, whose interests
must be paramount to those of person
and parties. They condemned unequiv-
orally the lino of patronage to promote
peritonei political end*, and that we
condemn compulsory assessments for
political purposes, and proscription for
iailure to either to auch assets
menta or to requests for voluntary con
tributiona.
Here then ia the party in power de
claring for reform when it alone has the
power to remedy the evils of which it
complains. If reform is needed, and
it must be, or the party would not have
■o declared, they have had full control
qf the law-making power for yeura and
could and should have, if they did not
mean to act in had faith with the peo
ple, made the laws necessary to abolish
the evils of patronage, and make hon
esty, efficiency and fidelity the qualifi
cations for public positions.
This convention condemns the
use of patronage to promote personal
political ends and condemns assess
ments for political purposes. Who are
they condemning T Can it be that this
party, whose stalwart candidate said
meant purity and morality, is condemn
ing itself. Who uses patronage to pro
mote personal political ends f The Ross* !
Who makes assessments for politi
cal purposes ? The machine and
the boss of the Republican party.
Whose convention condemns these
crimes upon the public? The conven
tion of the bosses. And why, because
they fear the wrath of the people and
they hope by fair promises and tine res
olutions to appease the people and ob
tain a further lease of |>ower.
I can assure you my Republican
friends the men who made and passed
these resolutions and placed upon them
candidates, will no more keep their
pledges of reform in 18*2 than they did
in 1872. Kven before the election they
have violated them in every particular.
Patronage to promote personal political
ends has gone on unceasingly. The
convention that promulgates these res
olutions had barely adjourned until the
official guillotine is set in moiton and
as last as they could ho borne away tli<-
official heads of those who would not
submit to the imperial will of the l>o*s
tumbled into the basket. At the direr
tion of the boss faithful officers were re
moved, not for cause hut to give place
to others who would strengthen hi*
dynasty.
The assessment of office holders h*
not ceased. It goes on mercilessly, no
toriously and incessantly as the flow of
the water of the Mississippi, sparing
neither agp, sex. race or previous condi
tion of servitude. Right here we are
tolil that General Reaver is not respon
sible for thee violations of the Repub
lican platform. He is the standard
bearer and promised to carry that
standard into every county in the State,
and by right anil |>osition the leader in
the campaign. To his knowledge these
evils are practiced. Why does he not
denounce them? As the leader of the
campaign why does he not take the
monster by the throat and see that
every pledge of the convention is
honestly and firmly adhered to. Prin
ciples, however good, and however
plainly declared hv conventions are of
no use unless you have a man with the
moral courage and force to carry th-ui
out. And as 'ten. I .ear said, "if he has
not the moral courage to do this he is
incompetent. If he can conscientiously
approve the conduct of this campaign
he is morally unfit to he governor of
Pennsylvania." If the monarch be a
plunderer the subjects will follow the
ways of the court, so he who is depend
ent upon the boss will follow his ways,
and do his bidding.
The democratic convention of 1882
declared that "we protest against what
is called the boas system and the plun
dering of office holders by assess men t
of money for political purposes ; public
offices are the property of no party but
are open to every citisen, honest, caps
hie and faithful, and protested against
the spoils system, that it is a prostitu
tion of the office of the people so that
they become the perquisites of the poll
tician.
So far as mere word* go, my friends,
there i but little difference between the t
platform* of the two parties. Why then
should you prefer the one to the other.
The one convention condemn*: the
other protest*. I* that all, a mere dif
ference in word*. No! In the work
of the convention* we have all the
difference in the world. The one
laughed in derision at it* declation* of
reform a* they passed, and nominated
candidate* who have never ceased to
trample upon the principle* and the
reform* for which they declared. The
other not only declared for reform act
ual, real, and practical, but showed it*
good faith with the jieople by nominal
ing a man who embodies in himself the
very elements of the conventions de
derations. A reformer himself, tried
in the fire and not found wanting. He
hta met the machine and the t>o*a in
the citadel of their |Kiwer, where it wa*
their habit to annually *teal million*
from the people, and by honesty, efli
ciency and integrity, the very elements
of official capacity declared for by the
Republicans, succeeded in breaking the
machine and driving the boa* from
power. A* controller of the city of
Philadelphia he has saved millon* of
dollar* annually to the people of that
great city. Hi* official integrity was a
constant check not only upon dishon
esty, but upon ill advised legislation
which involved the expenditure of
money. When the city paid for ma
terials, under him, it was known that
they were furniahed. When it paid for
labor it was known that it had been
perfomed. We want a little official in
tegrity, efficiency and honesty at the
Slate capitol. With Pattieon there we
will find out why it is that in 1860 the
ordinary expenditure for State govern
ment amounted to only 9947,911.1.1 and
in 1880 the expense* lor the same pur
pose amounted to 94, 96:1, 109,69.
When the Democratic party in 1876
declared for reform and then nornina
ted Tilden the people believed we meant!
it and they endorsed our nomination by
a majority of nearly Three Hundred
thousand on the popular vote. They
accepted our word in good faith because
we gave them a pledge in the nominee
that if we were successful reform, thor
ough and complete, should be instituted
and carried out, and had Tilden not
been cheatd by force,fraud, and perjury
out of the place to which he waa elected
tbereform promised would have been ac
complished. We come to you again,
my fellow citixena, not only with the
promise of reform in word* but bring
the pledge in the candidate nominated.
Civil service in its broadest sense i*
the business of the government. It re
latea to all officers anil offices ot tlie
government not military in their nature.
We have a right an citizen* to demand
that the business of the government
shall be faithfully conducted. That it*
oflicera shall be honest, ellicient and
capable, qualifications which Jefferson
defined to be essential elements of a
faithful ofllcer, qualifications which the
republican party declares for anil the
lack of which it vigorously condemns. To
us Democrat* and republicans alike,vrho
are not and never expect to be office
liolders.it can make but litttle difference
who hold the offices so they are honest,
faithful and efficient. That all money
drawn front us by means of taxation
shall be faithfully and rigidly applied
to the purpose for which it is taken.
The party that will give us good govern
ment at the least possible cost, no mat
ter what its politics, is the party to
which we should give our support. All
we have in it is good government, all we
desire out of it is good government.
The party in power has betrayed its
trust it has plundered the people,
squandered and misappropriated their
money. It has ceased to be a party of
the people anil by the people, and to
rule forthein and has became the party
of the hosa, bv the boss, and should
therefore he turned out of place and
power. For these reasons my republican
fellow citizen* I call upon you to break
loose for once from your party affiliations
and join with us in electing a genuine
reformer.
lieneral Beaver has absolved us entire
ly from supporting him on the ground
of any neighborly or friendly feelings or
local pride we have for him. He lias de
cleared it is principles and not men
that are at stake in this contest. We
can not now and never will support the
principles he advocates. They are
wrong and in their results evil and per
nicious. They are the outgrowth of the
machine and the bos* and if permitted
to grow and increase in powerwill finally
lead to the overthrow of our free in
stitutions. The convention that nom •
nated him condemns the whole cat*
logue of principles which he advocates,
when he get* at anything outside of the
tariff, and a* governor of this state he
would have no more to do with the
tantr than the comet plunging through
space at the rate of millions of miles
an hour. The Constitution of the Cm
ted States has wisely placed that que#
lion into the hands of congressmen.
We have concluded in this district to
leave all measures in reference to the
tariff in the hands of <ov. Curt in who
so honorably and ably represented us
in the last congress. If men are not
at stake we can have nothing to do
whatever with the stalwart candidate.
We want men who have the courage to
declare for and carry out honest and
correct principles of government. Men
who will ol>ey the constitution and the
laws of the Commonwealth and take
care that they he faithfully executed.
Mv friends we have had some trouble
in reference to a candidate for the State
Senate. A muh room politician of
Clinton county who imagine'! he was fit
to go to the Senate, held out induce
moot* to one of the conferees of Clear
field county to purchase. The tiait was
taken and no sooner was the money
paid, than this corrupt creature under
took to force hia nomination by threaten
ing to expose the parties implicated on
less he was nominated forthwith. The
virtue ; of this man withdrew from the
conference the delegate* from Clinton
county. After this Hon. C. T. Alezsn
'der our candidate was nominated bv
Centre and Clearfield counties. To this
nomination,though regular,the counties
of Clearfield and Clinton relused to
submit and it was distasteful to manv
of our own people, not because they had
any objection to Mr. Alexander but, be
cause they desired that the nominee
should come from a conference on which
the blight of corruption had not fallen.
ur candidate and conferees were per
fectly clean. The people of the district
require that we shall go into power with
clean hands or stay awav and leave
power in hands already polluted.
In this emergency the county com
mittees met and from their action grew
a new conference. It met and selected
the Hon. Wm. A. Wallace for Senator.
Mr. Alexander had a right to insist
upon the regularity of his nomination.
The whole question was whether in
the unsettled condition of the public
mind he should insist upon his candi
dacy—or relinquish his rights, for the
good and harmony of the party. He
met the question squarely and acted
promptly and patriotically by withdraw
ing from the contest, and I hope my
fellow citizens you will take delight in
honoring Mr. Alexander the very first
opportunity you have for this patriotic
action. Mr. Wallace is our candidate.
Of hia pre-eminent fitness no man will
have a doubt. No man is too great for
to honorable a position. We should put
into such positions the ablest anil best
men the district affords. To us the cost
is all the same. It takes from us as much
in the shape of taxes to pay a had man
as it doel a man of high standing and
1 great abilities. Then the one brings
honor and fame to his constituents as
well *• to himself ; while the other
brings only shame and disgrace to him
self and constituents.
Our legislature becomes a shame and
reproach because the men sent there
are incapahla of making* it anything
elae. My frienda there is no sense in
sending men to make our law* who are
no more fit by education aod practice,
for the business, than I am at this mo
aient to be declared the Pope of Rome.
With Pattison for governor and Wal
lace for Senator the reforms provided
for in the constitution of 1873, which
the republican* have willfully and ma
lidoutly neglected and refused to carry
out, will be accomplished to tbe great
good of all the people and the honor
and glory of eur Commonwealth.
Decerny f" Politic*.
HlrtMiwrr TMegrepa, Stalwart Dep.
It ia tbe right of the public to know
all about the competency and honesty
of avery man who aspire* to a public
trust, and to canvasa well his especial
qualifications for the particular office
for which he is named; but this should
not, in decency, descend to slander and
abuse of an honorable gentleman's
V
private character. A campaign of mere
ly personal abuse should not he de
scended to by leading newspapers of
either party, because by doing *o it puts
it out of the question to induce high
minded, sensitive men to allow their
names to he used as candidates, for fear
the floodgates of groundless abuse and
personalities may be opened upon tliern.
In tliis light the Trh /ropk regrets the
uncalled lor attacks recently made, by
irresponsible correspondents of some
of the papers of the state, on Mr.
Chauncey F. Black, the Democratic
candidate for lieutenant governor
While the will use all possible
means to prevent the election of Mr.
Black that a journal conducted on Iron
orahle, high-toned principles can, it will
do so because Mr. Black and his col
leagues are Democrats, and the />/oi/.A
sincerely believes that the interest* of
the great state ol Pettnsylvania should
not tie entrusted to Democratic ollicials.
Personal abuse of candidates i* not ar
gument, based on ptinciple, and to win
a great campaign IlKe the one now
going on, it should he run on principles,
and these principles should he the *u
prctnacy of Republicanism as enuneiu
led by the Republican party. I'ersonal

WAI.TKR M. FRANM IN, R-u-. informs us
that he received a dispatch from Mr.
Farquhar, of York, a Republican,
requesting liim to advise the
Ej'iminrr that the story It published
ftotn a I'lltsburg paper, that lire Dcino
erstic candidate for lieutenant governor
had been intoxicated at meetings in
Western I'eiimyivanit, was untiu'-,
Mr. Farquhar having been so informed
by reliable parties in Waynesboro, Bed
ford and ITiionlown, where the scene of
the story was hud. Mr. Farquhar add
ed that he had known Mr. Black lor
twenty years and knew his nabits to be
as good a man as a I'emoeial could he
made. The H.'aminrr laded to publish
this contradiction. It has also failed to
print the numerous contradictions it
iilids in it* western exchanges ; such as
the following from the Wayne*burg
.1 t'-urnjtT : "We appeal to every decent
man who attended the meeting in the
court room on Tuesday night, to say
whether there is one word of iruth in
that statement. Ii a haid and
naked, from beginning lo end. a- > v r.

Mr. Black before i.i- spec han I aft<-r *

The F.fTcrt* of I iieertuin Tenure,
There is a phase of the government
service in tiie department at Washing
lon and elsewhere whirl) the juld.c
seldom gets a glimpse of, hut which i
worth the careful consideration of all
thoughtful citizens. I'nder the | res< rit
civil service, with its uncertain tenure,
the great majority of the clerks are
liable to lose their place# at the end of
a few years, either at the demand of a
psrli->*n los# or because of a change in
partisan supremacy. The salaiis of the
incumbents, after firing iwessril by the
various partisan committees, do not si
low of anything more than a comfort
able living and leave nothing lor ac
cumulation for declining years. The
clerk, however, gives the first vest* of
his life frequently to this service and
become# totally Unfitted for anything
else when he lose* his place, which he
is almost certain to do aooner or Ister.
In view of these farts the wonder
naturally is why anyf-ody with brains
and capability enough to take care of
bim*elf should ever seek service in the
government employ. The true answer
is probably to be found in the fact that
many enter the service without a prnp< r
knowledge of these conditions. They
learn by hitter experience when it is too
lste to remedy the matter. The evils
arising from this condition of the ser
vice are twofold. The I and most
capable men who exercise a reasonable
amount of foresight in regard to their
own future are deterred from entering
the government employnient and thus
the government is deprived of their
services, and a rU*s of paupers and
toadies sre engendered, who will lend
fhemselvea to the most disgraceful par
tisan service, not because they want to
do it, but be< use they do not know
what else to do to gel a living. Wash
ington is full of these people, who, if
they should loe their places by the de
mand of an unprincipled boss or hy a
political revolution, would not know
where to lay their heads.
The only remedy for these evils i a
complete and radical reform of the
civil service. Let there he a fixed ten
tire of office, with a chance for promo
tion for merit and for no other reason.
Then compel the plundering harpies of
the Hubbell Mshone stripe to keep
their hands off the salaries of the in
cumbent, so that a prudent man may
have a chance to lay by something for
old age. The result w ill be a much bet
ter service to the government and a
class of self respecting, self sustaining
employes, instead of the horde of politi
cal paupers thai now swarm in the
various departments.— l'htla. Timr*.
A Campaign of False Pretences '
The Stalwart machine of Tefinsylva
nia has been traveling over a rocky and
perilous road, indeed, during the past
year. It got a severe shaking up in the
campaign of lat fall, and had a narrow
e*c|>e from very serious disaster. But
it* trouble* were only l>egir,ning. and
the poll* were hardly closed in Novem
ber, 1881, before the lK*r* as on every
band active and determined prepara
tions for the great hatile of 1882. True
to their instincts and practice, they re
solved upon a campaign of false petence*
and upon that line they and their
henchmen and organs have been work
ing ever since, with a disregard of truth,
fact and decency that at limes has been
amazing.
The first movement in this pro
gramme of deceit and fraud was led by
Mr. (Juay in peraon, when he inveigled
Cm* of the Independent Republican
aders into the famous Continental
conference, and made solemn promises
of reform which never were meant to he
kept. The tsme snare wa< set again atjthe
time of the llarrisburg Republican con
vention, baited with Davies and Rawle,
and an abaurdlv transparent scheme to
put Wolfe on the hook too, followed by
a brazen i-fi rt to palm off as a genuine
copy of the I' iiitiiii-ntal platfoiin an
emasculated imitation of the same.

| Heneral R --ccran# reports to the
Democratic National f'ummittee that
• 'ahforuia will tie Democratic f>v ah ut
< in,ooo majority and that five of the >tx
Congressmen will tc Democratic.
Kx-Senator B >utell, who h* recent
ly returned from Massachusetts, u is.
|rfrted to have #aid that there would be
a close fight in that Slate. The r pnit
w* industriously circulated HI Boston
during President Arthur's vi*it there
that he was friendly to (ieneral Butler's
eandidarv. This story the president
denies with emphasis. He ssys he i* s#
strongly in favor of a reptibliean gnver
nor in Massachusetts a in New Yotk.
The re|iort may have arisen from the
fact thst Messrs. Arthur and Butler are
warm jiersnnal friends of longstanding.
