This certainly is not good financial housekeeping. It has been testified in open court in Chester county that this money is given to the banks without interest, but in return the banks pay political assessments to the Quay campaign committee, This clear- ly shows that this. money is withheld from the schools of the State to create a fund out of which campaign funds can be secured to keep Quay and his follow. | ers in office. A SERIOUS CHARGE. Mr. Sowden, in a speech, a few days ago, made the following serious charge against Wm. A. Stone, Quays candidate for Governor: “I assert bere and now that Colonel William A, Stone charged the State a fee of $10,000 for an unsuccessful attempt | to collect $3,000. I challenge a contra. | diction. Mr, Stone's only repiy to this charge is that the money was there and that he might as well have taken it. Is that honest? Is such a man fit to be your governor? We have a caudidate who will not steal, Do you want an honest | man as your executive? Are you inter. ested enough in your own affairs to ex. ert your manhood? These are questions the voters must answer for themselves in this campaign.” Mr. Sowden then spoke of the soldiers enlisted by the State machine to keep the soldier vote in line, and called attention to the fact that these men were given lucrative State positions merely for this purpose HE PAYS FOR ALL y of our citizen he working publican aduunistration is anpually out of its OSes, squeeze a good deal more unless machine extravagances and steals are speedily Ts + checked. 5 true that a considers share of this money comes from the cor- porations But in the the peog however tax, which t permit te be son use to be upon a ri adjusts it upon MMENSE GATHERINGS and Pitts! encourage where there People of eve be aroused and against Quayism.
