EDITORIAL, unless of Alle QUAY promises reform, But the people know the trick And can’t be fooled again With that same gold brick. THE foot-pad has a poor trade com. pared to those who pad legislative rolls and registry lists, IT was never necessary for Pattison to put out a proclamation to the effect that he was not bribed. ——————————————— PorCH climbing is gradually falling off owing to the demand for republican statesmen in Philadelphia. ————— - WHAT we would like to know is, whether Cousin Sam considers George Washington the equal of cousin Matt? Cousin Psalms might have seen many ills in Pennsylvania if there had been a a rise of a few poiuts in the price of dele gates about convention time, I¥ all the gold bricks worked off on the people of Pennsylvania by the repub- lican machine were genuine, the pile would make the Klondike look like 30 cents, WHEN men become chronic office seekers they should ‘‘go way back and sit down !” Thatis what a great many are thinking of Jim Strobm’s case. He bad nine years in the Court House, which was doing pretty well, Quay wants Schoonover and Strohm for assembly. What Quay wants, boa- est volers must put the foot down on. These gentlemen will obey the boss in all the iniquities he may order. Vote for Wetzel and Kepler who are pledged against all that smacks of Quayism. LAST year at leas! twelve thousand people attended the Centre county fair on Thursday. If the same attendance occurs to-day the republicans will pro- claim it a great ovation to Penny packer and his spellbinders. They want to re deem themselves from the Grange Park frost, I¥ you vote for Dresser for congress, you vote for one who will favor the trusts and all the evils by legislative omission and commission, that have been detrimental to the people. Hence vote for Hibner who stands for all that is in. imicable to the trusts and for the great- est good of masses. HERE is a strong point made by Hom. George W. Guthrie, Bemocratic candi date for lieutenant governor: “I see the head of the machine ticket says that pever a dollar was stolen from the public treasury. If none of the money of the people has been stolen, why did one cashier commit suicide ? Why did another}become a fugitive from the state? Why did Hopkins, of the People’s bank, kill himself? Why did John Bardsley go to prison I¥ you are opposed to a repetition of such legislation as has disgraced our State in the past few years, by rippers, franchise steals and wholesale bribery, then give Patton, for Senator the cold shoulder, he is Quay’s pick, and vote for Heinle who has been tried, served you faithfully and has shown himself true upon all questions, Put Heinle back to the senate, none ever deserved it more. Cousin Pennypacker started out by intimating that he was a Dutchman, to taffy the Pennsylvania German farmers. When be came to Centre county to the Grange picaie, some ove called for some remarks in dutch, and Quay’s cousin got cornered and had to be excused as he conld not do that. We suppose he does not know even what one of Harter's Pennsylvania dutch ‘‘Bonestiel” letters contains, Last week when Pennypacker got into one of the Philadelphia districts where they know about as little about “dutch” as does, he began to tell them that he was of British descent and tried that sort of taffy on those fel. lows. He'd not make a bad clown for a third rate circus, and could contort him. self to be all things to all men, HAS WEALTH —WANTS HONOR. There is one phase of the situation in the senatorial contest in this district that merits attention ; thus far it appears to have escaped comment. Alex EH, Pat ton, the republican nominee, of Clear- field, is known to be a man of immense wealth, That is no argument against him. He acquried it, we are informed, by the fact that his father owned thous- ands of acres of wild mountain land un- der which fortunately valuable coal was discovered later and much of it was sold for that reason at a very high price, and this son inherited a large portion. With this vast sum of money at his dis- posal he has invested it in various large enterprises in his locality. The average American first goes for money, and that Alex. Patton has in abundance. With this wish gratified he, is a candidate for State Senate because he thinks he can throw an unlimited amount of cash into the district for ‘‘necessary expenses'’'—a term which generally covers a multitude of sing—to assure his election and will never miss the amount. He has wealth; now he secks an important office for “The Honor." This brings the thoughtful voter face to face with an important question, Mr, Patton has repeatedly said that he has $0 many business interests that he cana hardly afford to waste the time joing over the district seeking the office. We grant he is an extremely busy man ; and it is evident that ‘the Honor’ is the sole motive for his caadiaacy. The voters of this district will hardly assent to this idea, they can’t afford to do it. The office of State Senator was not created for the purpose of conferring “Honor” upon men of great wealth That is a modern tendency, a grievous mistake and a growing evil. Mr. Patton, with all his great business enterprises, would have little time to spare for the many duties of that office. When a man seeks ‘the Honor" alone, public inter. ests are sure to be neglected, With hun. dreds and thousands of dollars so actively employed in business ventures, honestly would give the duties of an office proper attention? He absolutely could not without a great sacrifice to his per. sonal investments, and as "self preser- vation is the first law of pature” the natural inference is that he would not. The people send men to Harrisburg, who are expected to devote their entire time, and ability to public ency are duly protected, and not to decorate men of great wealth with titles | | him by the legisl of “Honor.” Mr. Heinle, in the last session, devoted his time to his ofhce with rare energy and ability. If re-elected he will again serve them with the same fidelity, and be of increased influence and power from the benefit of the experience in the past session. - PATTISON AT PHILIPSBURG. It was announced in the Democratic State itinerary that Robt. E. Pattison and party would visit at Philipsburg on the 7th of October and hold a day meet- ing and reach Bellefonte that evening The original schedule has been changed, and Pattison will be at Philipsburg for a night meeting and the appointment at Bellefoute has been canceled, Wednes day morning the party will pass through Bellefoute on their way to Lock Haven. It is not at all possible that the Patti. | ; ; i | tain the provision of the son party will pay a visit to Bellefonte | daring the present campaign as all dates | are filled. Other prominent speakers meeting later in the month, The meeting at Philipsburg promises to be an enormous outpouring of people. All that territory will be on hand to hear him. His last visit to Philipsburg was occasion of an immense crowd. TOLD THE TRUTH. Hon. J. H. Wetzel, of Bellefonte, who has very faithfully represented Centre county in the State Legisiature and who is the democratic candidate for re.elec- tion, is in town looking up his interests, and Is receiving a very cordial greeting. Mr, Wetzel is one of Centre county's very best citizens, and who can always be depended upon to worthily fill any position in which he is placed. It is gratifying to have such men to i'l of. fices of public trust, Philipsburg Jour nal.

The legislature, to ite discredit be It sald, both houses being Republican, disre- garded the executive veto; but the gov ernor's record must always commend him to the highest consideration of his fellow citizens. The amount he turned down effectively at the session of 1583, when the house was Democratic, was over $35,000, Scathing Rebuke to Legislators. The people have not forgotten Gov- ernor Pattison's consistent and cour ageous action in disapproving the half million dollar appropriation bill passed at the fruitless extra session of 1883 This conacienceless grab as compensa tion for doing nothing and refusing to pass just apportionment bills, was ex- posed and denounced in a veto message of remarkable strength, a document that was read and heartily approved by all honest citizens regardless of parti- san views, Here are some timely ex- tracts from this historic rebuke to thiess legislators: “After wasting six months in eon. tfemning the constitution, members now send me this bill to pay themselves hall a million dollars for refusing to do what they were elected and sworn to Hi i 1 fi : i | : § ! i + : i : ef 3 was without any | WHEN PATTISON WAS ON GUARD, It was hard sledding for the treasury looters and extra salary grabbers while | Governor Pattison was at Harrisburg, The record of executive disapproval of appropriations that were unwarranted fal history of the sessions of 1883, 1885, 1861 and 1898.
