Reply %o Quay's Appeal For
Campaign Boodle.
Rudolpa Blankenburg, the well
known Independent Republican, has
declined to contribute to the Quay
campaign fund. He has couched his
refusal In a charaoteristically vigor-
ous letter, In which he says:
Whenever the machine is in daner it
is seized with a fit of virtue and at
tempts to cloak its hideris skeleton
with a garb of alluring os HO Con

but because you hoped that his nomi-

more from richly merited defeat.

proposition as would be an orthodox
minister at the head of a congrega-

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE GOAL

An article In the last number of the
Lehighton (Pa.) Press entitled “Coal
trust organized under Pattison,” sent
out by the Republican state committee,
contains some statements which en-
title its author to the first prize for
both mendacity and stupidity. No one
could have written the article without
malicious purpose of misrepresenting
the facts, for it contains statements
that must have been the invention of
the writer. No one could have writ-
ten the article who was possessed of
ordinary intelligence and foresight, for
the examination of the
history of the case, and its official
records, will disclose the falsehood and
impale the falsifier,

that in 1862 the Reading, Lehigh Val-
