THE MAN AND THE A Crisis in Public Thoughtful ISSUES Affairs Demand Action by the De- mocracy of Pennsylvania—Time for Deliberation and Decisive Action, Pennsylvania is passing through a cri- | 51s. Its people have been appalled and benumbed by the flood-tide of corrup tion and open bribery of its legislature, the loss of dignity in its administrative officials, and the open and organized i raids against the mu sacred Fr st rights of Pennsylvanians, anchises worth mil lions have been stolen at miduight by the signatare of our Governor, United St; senators elected by the open purchase votes and Penusylvania’s cities chised and their citizens deprives The ful crime against Pittsburg and Scranton sacred rights of free men. may be repeated next, and where? What city, town or county the present men in powe: This of all good citi s culminating i 3 Yiorm inal the seated against of the Quay mac Pennsylvania are on t ve a most ous and struggle, the result of which will be far reaching and may be disastrous. Who will lead us to Bhere viclory? Who can speak in such thunder tones that the plain people will hear and believe him ? What Moges will lead the Israel of the is the man of the hour? Keystone State, out of this wilderness of political debauchery and Pennsylvania's degradation, into the Promised Land of good and honest government ? The issue will be what we make it The issue will be the man that we nom- inate. We disparage no man, but there is always but one man for the hour and the issue. The situation to-day demands a leader fresh from the people, free from all political entanglements, if possible with the smell of the soil upon his clothes As the ancient Romans called Cincin. natus from the plow to save their liber. ties, so let us turn oar eyes to the farm. We present Cor. Joux A WoonwArD, 4 of Howard, Centre county, to the De. \ mocracy of Pennsylvania, and we urge them to earnestly consider him as the What you think, the people of the staie will largely think. man of the hour, Col. Woodward is not a paper farmer : he earns his bread in the sweat of his face ; but he is an educated and a broad. of ment, a man who wields a trenchant pen minded farmer, a man ripe jud ve J and of strong ; & man incisive speech who has represented the people in two terms of the legislature, and whose ser. vice on its floor was above criticism and reproach ; a man who has had wide ex- perience with the educational’and jour- nalistic institutions of the state A man of the widest acquaintance among the farmers of every section of Pennsylvania, but in whom all interests alike have the utmost confidence ; a brave man and a He will both know how to Col. "plain people;” is not a strong man, speak and how to act. Woodward represents the politicians’ candidate ; but his name has been brought forward by “plain people” in distant parts of the state. He holds no office, belongs 0 no machine, has no wealth and his selection therefore to such A high position must come as an open protest, from the people, against present iniquities, As Governor of Pennsylvania be would be no man's man but with the broadest sympathy for all legitimate interests of the Commonwealth, would serve none but the whole people of the state, and with ” phis election as Governor of Pennsylvania we promise that the present disgraces at Harrisburg shall forever cease.
