'GRAND EECEPXIOS A7 THE DCQUESNE CLUB
The members of the three engineers' so
defies, the British Iron and Steel Institute,
the Verein Deutcbe Kisenbuettenleute, the
American Institute of Mining Engineers
and members of other native scientific
bodies are this morning the guests of the
citr.
They spent the night of Tuesday at Al
toona, and getting early afoot yesterday
morcing,speni the forenoon in visitingtheex
tensive shops of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
the largest and most complete in the world.
The delightful weather following the rain
of the past few days added to the pleasure of
the -visitors. They were divided into three
groups ot about 300 persons each, and about
8 A. M. the tour ot inspection began, under
the direction of competent guides. The
several groups went over the same route at
intervals of about three-quarters of an hour.
PraUe for American Mechanics.
The visitors made a very thorough inspec
tion of the new Juniata shops, the latest
erected, and were of the unanimous opinion

lint for perfection of appointments, nothing
lhat they had yet seen approached them.
They expressed their unbounded apprecia
tion df the admirable manner in which the
I'ennsylvania Railroad is managed, and of
the enterprise, skill and intelligence of
American mechanics. Some of them freely
declared that their observation since coming
to this country has led to the conviction that
the American locomotives are much better
than the German engines.
Alter a thorough inspection of the great
industrial plant of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company the distinguished party took
dinner at the Logan House as the guests of
the company, after which they returned to
their special train of Pullman cars, and at

Tlie Yiit to Johnston n.
On the way to Johnstown the Horseshoe
Carve attracted much attention, as did also

leadline memorable Johnstown the mills
of the Cambria Iron Company, the por
tions of the city devastated by the great
flood and the stone bridge were all visited.
The Pittsourg lleception Committee had
Joined the tourists at Altoona, and Messrs.
H. Sellers McKee and others escorted the
party through the factories.
The lleception Committee returned to the
city about three-quarters of an hour before
the specials carryn.g me guests arrived.
Sir James Kitson, Bart., President of the
British Iron and Steel Institute and C.
JCirchoff, Jr., editor of the Iron Age,
traveled with the committee. Among
those who awaited the foreigners were: W.

session of Sir James Kitson and entertained
him while awaiting the arrival oi the rest of
the party.
The Arrival in Pittsburg.
Meanwhile Assistant Superintendent
O'Mara and Captain Dan Silvus, with a
detail of 30 officers, arrived. The men were
stationed at intervals within and without the
depot, and formed a line through which the
visitors subsequently filed out.
The first special drew in about 8 o'clock
with double-headers attached, led by famous
C07 which hauled President Harrison here
on his record-breaking journey from Chica
go. The other two specials arrived at in
tervals of a lew minutes. Great curiosity was
evinced to see the strangers and considerable
groups of travelers and railroad men took
up convenient stations to pass them in re
view. More or less confusion existed when at
length the visitors stepped from the cars.
Each man and woman was burdened with
more or less baggage, in the shape of grips,
shawls, bundles of canes and other para
phernalia. They were loth to trust them to
other hands and passed out to the carriages
in waiting in true American fashion every
one his own servant. Each carried a dis
tinguishing ribbon intended to indicate to
the ushers ontside their respective designa
tions. The plan was an admirable one if
carried out, but by some means, the wrong
-ribbons got into the wrong hotels, and some
times the wrong ribbons on the wrong peo
ple. Mr. C. Clark was very active in
assisting the visitors to their carriages, and
Mr. Bobert Pitcairn put in a word when
P. C. Gilchrist.
needed, and Mr. Charles Meyran took
charge of the German delegation.
Conducted to Their Hotel.
Outside the depot a busy seen was being
enacted. Everv cab and carriage in the
city seemed to have been congregated there,
and as fast as they could pull np to the
entry, Superintendent D. B. Warden and
Captain Dan Silvus ushered the travelers to
seats and hurried them to the various
quarters. At one time a party of emigrants,
gaunt and tired looting, got mixed up with
the new arrivals, and were nearly being
forwarded to the Duquesnc.
At all the hotels Chief Brown had placed
several of his white-gloved officers to keep
back the crowds of curious people, and to
furnish information to the visitors. Every
man was his own baggage master, and they
hung like giim death, to their lighter
grips. The trunks and heavy satchels ar
rived at the Union depot early in the morn
ing, and were distributed during the day.
At the depot the visitors were loaded into
the carriages and hurried off to the hotels.
Owing to the large number of people to be
cared for some blunders were made, and
guests got into the wrong hotel.
Lively Scenes at the Hotels.
The lobbies of all the leading houses were
soon jammed with luggage and delegates,
crowding around the register. In. a few
instances considerable confusion prevailed,
and the clerks got rattled. After a little
delay and some kicking most of the
visitors were assigned rooms, or pro
vided with cots. As already stated it was
impossible for the hotels to accommodate
them all. The Seventh Avenue had agreed
to take 50. but at the last moment had to
cut the number down to 20. The Duqucsne
Jeremiah. Head.
kept its contract and took 30. The Ander
son furnished ten rooms.
About SO cots were fixed up in the Wcst
inghouse building by Mr. "Witherow, of the
Duqnesne. Thecots were neat and clean, and
carpet was placed on the floors. A suvr of
those who had been assigned there objected
and left in search of rooms elsewhere. One
Englishman remarked that he wouldn't
sleep in a "barracks." The majority,
however, were quite well pleased
alter their experience in the East, and soon
made themselves at home. Writing tables
were provided, and a stranger going into
the building last night would have looked
in on a crowd of very agreeable men smok
ing pipes and chatting togetner. it re
minded some of the Englishmen of life on
board a ship.
Made Themselves at Home.
Most of the Germans and French found
quarters at the Schlosser and the Duquesne.
As soon as they were located they adjourned
to the barroom and spent the evening drink
ing beer in true Teutonic fashion. All the
tables in the Dnquesne bar were taken, and
the Americans hud an opportunity to see
every man pay for his own drinks. "Ah,"
sighed a local manufacturer, "that is a
blessed German custom." He had just set
them up for some friends, and he knew
whereot he spoke.
Many of the visitors, tired of the mills
and the cars, walked around the town to see
the sights, and the iron and steel badge was
prominent on all the main downtown ave
nuts of the city. It was A hazy night, and
not much could be seen.
The hotels were soon crowded to over
flowing. All the available space was taken
and many of the regular guests who came
Ja yesterday went to McEeesport, Brad-
rvwwi J
dock and other nearby towns for the night,
intending to come into the city this morn
ing. "This is a sort of rough and tumble busi
ness," said Hugh Bell, a son of Sir
Lowthian Bell, "but I rather like it." His
remarks were directed to a fastidious friend
who was vowing he would not sleep with
another man.
A Jain at Headquarters.
The largest crowd was at the Monongahela
House, the headquarters. The greater part

of the big house had been reserved for them,
and arrangements had been made to accom
modate some in Pullman cars in the Balti
more and Ohio depot at night, the hotel
furnishing them with meals. This
arrangement was satisfactory. The lobby of
the hotel was crowded by the guests, and
some trouble was experienced in assigning
rooms. Those who had their quarters sat
around and playfully guyed their unfortun
ate brethren who had to wait, and
were not sure that pleasant
rooms could be obtained for them. Man
ager Kelly and his force of clerks never
worked harder to satisfy the clamoring peo
ple. Everybody was talking at once, and
wanted to be the first roomed.
The Keception Committee had their head
quarters in the hotel, and they were a busy
set of men.
Not being acquainted with the city some
of the visitors got contused, and others were
given the wrong colored ribbon.
Olio Guest tost Ills "Way.
DuffBruce, of London, was one of these.
Rooms had been reserved for him and his
family at the Anderson, but they were sent
to the Monongahela House by mistake.
Mr. Brnce finally reached the Anderson. A
committeeman seeing his ribbon insisted on
sending him back to the other hotel.
"Bnt my rooms are here," persisted Mr.
Bruce.
"According to the color of your ribbon
they are not," replied the committeeman.
"Then I will throw away the ribbon and
stay here anyhow;" and he did.
Those who couldn't get rooms at the
hotels were taken home by members of the
committee and local manufacturers. Sir

and Steel Institute, is the guest ot John H.

.SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. I
Demopolis, Ala., October 8. Rube
Bnrrows, train robber, murderer and-outlaw
is dead. He died with his favorite pistol in
his hands in a daring reckless attempt to
regain his liberty, and when he fell two men
had gone down before his unerring aim.
To the last he displayed that spirit of devil
ish cunning and daring which for four years
has made his name a terror in the South and
West
But at last he was face to face with a man
his equal in courage, his match in the skill
of handling a revolver. They were playing
a game of chance where to lose, was death,
and Burrows lost. Last night Burrows was
taken by his four captors to the little town
of Linden. He was a valuable prisoner,
and they could not trust an outsider to
watch him.
OUAEDED BY TWO MEN.
"With his hands and feet tied they placed
him in the Sheriff's office in the jail, and
John McDuffee and a negro named Mar
shall sat down to watch him through the
night. The negro was one of the captors.
.T. C. Carter, who planned the capture, took
the money found on Burrows (?178) and
went to the hotel to sleep.
McDuffee and the negro, Marshall, wete
to remain on guard all night, and they did
not dream that their shackled prisoner
would think of escaping. The door was
heavilv barred, and while Burrows was
quietly sleeping his captors sat near bim
with pistols in their hands. At A o'clock
this morning the prisoner awoke.
"I am hungry; get me something to eat,"
he said.
"We cannot get anything at this hour,"
answered McDuffee.
"Well, hand me my satchel, there I have
some crackers in that." A leather satchel
which Burrows carried in his hand when
captured lay in one corner of the room
where it had been thrown without examina
tion. McDuffy handed the satchel to Bur
rows. The manacled hands of the prisoner
were thrust inside and, bringing out a hand
ful of crackers, he handed them to his
guards and McDuffy and the negro put
down their pistols and began to eat the
crackers.
A PISTOL IN EACH HAND.
Again the shackled hands went down into
the open satchel and when they again came
forth the startled guards looked into the
muzzles of two gleaming revolvers.
"Untie me, and be quick about it," said
Burrows to the negro, who obeyed at once.
"Now unlock the handcuffs of my wriste,"
and again the negro obeyed.
"Put them on that man," was the next
order, and the trembling negro closed the
cuffs with a snap on the wrists of McDoffy.
"Open the door" commanded Burrows
and the bars were removed. Then placing
one of the pistols in his pocket Burrows
secured the key of the door and pointing a
pistol at the negro's head he ordered him to
step outside. Keeping the negro covered
with his revolver Burrows locked the door
on the outside, leaving McDuffy a barred
and helpless prisoner within.
"Now where is that man Carter with my
money," asked the outlaw of the negro. The
negro told him and was ordered to lead the
way to his room. They went to the hotel
but Carter was not there. He was sleeping
in a room in the rear of the store of a mer
chant named Glass. The negro led the way
to the store and Burrows knocked loudly on
the door.
"Who is that?" called Carter. In a
whisper Burrows ordered the negro to an
swer, which he did.
DESPERATE AUDACITY.
"Tell him to get up quick, that McDuffy
wants him at the jail," said Burrows, in the
same stern whisper, and the negro repeated
the words. Carter recognized the voice of
the negro, and, coming to the door, he
opened it and askea: "What is the matter,
John?"
"Where is my money! Give it to me at
once," said Burrows, and a pistol was at the
breast ot uarter, and a glance in the semi
darkness was enough. Carter recognized
Burrows and understood the situation in an
instant. But he was not going to lose his
,$7,500 prize without a struggle. Instantly
he sprang back to his bed where his pistol
was lying, seized it and turning to the door
again fired almost at the same instant that
the report of the outlaw's pistol woke the
slumbering echoes ot the quiet town.
Both shots were well aimed. The ball
from the outlaw's pistol struck Carter in
the left breast, above the heart, and passed
through the lungs. Burrows was shot
through the bowels, the ball passiug en
tirely throngh his body. He staggered
back into the street, but raised his pistol
again and sent a ball crashing through the
shoulder of Marshall, the negro, who was
standing there half dead with lear. Carter
was staggering from the shock of his
wound, but he ran out in the street and
seven more pistol shots rang out on the
night air.
BOTH SANK TO THE GROUND.
Both men had emptied their revolvers.
By this time Burrows had crossed to the
opposite sidewalk and Carter was near the
middle of the street. As the echo of the
last shot died away both men sank to the
ground. The shots had aroused half of the
people in the little village, and the inhabi
tants running out into the street in their
night clothing, stumbled over the bloody
forms of the two men lying prone in the
dark street.
Bnrrows was dead. Carter is yet alive
and may recover, but his wound is a danger
ous one. The negro Marshall is badly
wounded also, but his wound is not con
sidered dangerous.
Alter the inquest the body of Burrows
was turned over to the officers of the Express
Company, and they decided to send it to his
relatives in Lamar county, Alabama, for
burial To-night the body will be taken to
Birmingham, and to-morrow sent to Lamar
county, where it will be delivered to tho
aged father ol the outlaw. So ends the
career of Bube Burrows, a man whose his
tory is without parallel.
SHOT IN A SEAL FIGHT.
Eusslans Fire at Poachers Who Landed on
Copper Island.
San Francisco, October 8. The seal
ing schooner C. H.White arrived from S.ind
Point, Alaska, to-dav with a catch of 485
seal and 73 other skins. The White brought
down Captains Howitzer and Sutherland, of
the schooner Soatherland, who were lost
from their vessel.
The crew state that hunters on the C. G.
White, a sister vessel, landed on Copper
Island with the intention of poaching. The
Bussian authorities ordered them away and
when they refused to go fired on them. The
fire was returned and in the exchange of
shots one of the White's men was killed.
The former accounts made it aDnear that the
I sailors approached the island in distress.
PLAN FOR TAXATION
PROPOSED BY THE STATE REVENUE COM.
MISSION.
All Keal Estate to be Divided Into Three
Classes for Purposes of Assessment Tho
Report to bo Prepared by December 3.
SPECIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH. I
Philadelphia, October 8. Tfce State
Revenue Commission reconvened this mora
ine in the Lafayette Hotel, with Auditor
General McCamant presiding, and all the
members present. The motion oi W. H.
Werry, of Cumberland county, that the
Price-bill, as amended by the commission,
be reported to the next session of the Legis
lature as a part of the report and as the
recommendation of the commission was
adopted. Mr. McCamant then proposed
that at the next meeting each member of the
commission should submit his reasons in
writing for approving or antagonizing the
proposed bill, and that the minority state
tbeir reasons tor diagreeing with the major
ity. He could state his own reasons on four
pages of manuscript. The motion was
adopted, and the reasons will be sent to the
Legislature explanatory of the report.
The Auditor General then introduced an
additional bill providing for the taxation of
real estate for county, school, road and
pauper purposes. The taxable real estate is
divided into three classes for taxation pur
poses, in line with the act for taxation of
such propertyin Philadelphia. The follow
ing are the classes: First, "improved land;"
this covers all real estate having buildings
or improvements thereon, except such as is
used exclusively for agricultural and farm
ing purposes; second, "farm land," cover
ing real estate, buildings and improvements
used exclusively for farming purposes;
third, "unimproved," mountain or barren
land and real estate without buildings or
improvements. The rates of taxation are
graded as highest on "improved land," two
thirds of the highest on "farm land" and
one-half the highest on "unimproved land."
There was considerable debate over the
subject of taxing farm lands, Mr. McCamant
admitting the depression of the farming in
terests, and arguing that the mining towns
were better able to pay high taxes than
those in the country. Prof. Bolles was di
rected to prepare the report of the commis
sion in time for consideration at the next
meeting, which will be held on Wednes
day, December 3. It was decided to rec
ommend to the Legislature the continuance
or creation of a permanent tax commission.
A WILD Y01THG MAH'S END.
Tlio Only Son of Ex-Goiernor Spraguo Coin-
rults Suicide at Seattle.
ISrSCIAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCH. 1
Providence, E. I., October 8. The
dispatch from Seattle that William
Sprague, Jr., the only son of ex-Governor
Sprague, committed suicide to-day by in
haling chloroform has shocked the entire
community. William Sprague, Jr., was
born at Canonchet about 23 years ago, and
was brought up in luxury. He was a ion
by the Governor's first wife, Kate Chase,
and was the only .son. There were three
daughters Ethel, Katharine and Portia.
William was educated in Germany and was
afterward at the Acquidnick Mills with his
father. When the ex-Governor obtained a
divorce lrom his wife, Mrs. Kate Chase
Sprague. she secured the custody of the
three girls; Willie remained with his father.
William drifted about from Connecticut
to New York, and married a beautiful
young girl in New York, Miss Avis Weed,
the sister of his father's second wife. The
young couple suddenly put in an appear
ance one day at the family home,
and announced themselves as man and
wife. A fter living together unhappily at
Canonchet for about two years a divorce was'
secured in 18S8. William went to New
York City to engage in the newspaper busi
ness, and in May last went to Seattle to
stare a pictorial paper. One of the exploits
that brouffht young Sprague into promi
nence early in his career was the shooting
at Mr. Bobert W. Thompson on October 5,
1877.

Buckeye State.
ISrECIAT. TELEOEAM TO TUB DISPATCn.l
Columbus, October 8. The special
session of the Legislature called for next
Tuesday, is the sole topic of conversation in
political circles. Leading Bepnblicans, as
well as members of their State committee,
are gathering in for the conference to-morrow
night. They are anxious to take ad
vantage of every move in the Democratic
entanglement. Governor Campbell is ex
pected from Cincinnati at midnight. It is
civen out authoritatively from his office
that he will pay no attention to the letter of
Beemelin published to-day, demanding a
trial or hearing on charges made by the
Governor.
Campbell is credited with saying he does
not deserve a trial, and that the Legislature
will treat with the subject. The opinion of
Democratic members who have arrived is
that the Legislature will appoint an in
vestigating committee instead of reorgan
izing the boards at Cincinnati. Senator
elect Brice is to be here to-morrow to take
part in the Campbell- Wilkin3 conference.
A strong effort has been made to convince
Governor Campbell that the present cam
paign is his fight, but he refuses to see it
that way.

rnT DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPANY.
Paris, October 8. A maximum customs
tariff has been prepared by the Government,
and is to be submitted to the Chamber of
Deputies when it reassembles. The Minis
ters were confronted with the alternative of
deciding between two rival schemes:
First The adoption of a minimum scale, and
that the protectionists' demands should not
be considered under any circumstances, but
the scale was rather to bo raised against all
those nations refusing to accept tho existing
tariff in its entirety.
Second A maximum tariff might be made
with a rednceable sliding scale in favor of
those nations that would grant France corre
sponding advantages.
These were the two situations which the
Cabinet discussed until It decided to ap
prove and recommend the maximum
scheme. The maximum tariff is nothing
more than a revision and increase of the
general tariff. The Ministers have yet to
examine figures, upon which much depends
as to the final acceptance of either a maxi
mum or a more moderate fcheme. But in
any case it is thought that the system
adopted will not cause any of the great po
litical inconveniences of the minimum tar
iff. It is also pretty certain that the final
adjustment will place the tariff in the future
commercial treaties with certain nations
with what will be denominated special
agreements or arrangements, and in view of
this the "favored nation" clause will proba
bly be suppressed. The Cabinet is now con
sidering the regulation ot some special du
ties, and expects to arrive at a definite de
cision at the next meeting oi the Council,
which takes place to-morrow.

Edmund Yates with forging and uttering a

London, October 8. At the Croydon
Petty Sessions, to-day, Lord Cahir, a cousin
of the Marquis of Ormonde, was summoned

Since that date he has threatened him
night after night, and Lord Cahir was really
a pest to the neighborhood. A warrant was
therefore issued for his arrest.

IRELAND'S CONDITION.

By Associated Tress.
London, October 8. Mr. Balfour, Chief
Secretary for Ireland, replying to an inquiry
as to the real condition of affairs in Ireland,
writes as follows:
Wo have, of course, received endless reports
and communications of all sorts on tho subject.
Regarding the potato crop in the West of
Ireland no national final conclusion can he
formed until the potatoes aro dug, toward the
end of October. But all testimony which is of
any value, and which obviously is not doctored
for political purposes, appears to indicate that
the cry of a general famine in Ireland is wholly
absurd, although in particular localities the
failure ot the crop is undoubtedly perious. The
measures that have been taken bv the Govern
ment will without question be sufficient to deal
with any real distress which it may be beyond
tho ordinary power of tho poor law to meet.

with the allowing list of Vice Presidents:
Jacob PeterJ, of Hellam township; Joseph
U. Test, Dr. T. A. Blake, E. K. Allison,
W. H. Fahs and Isaac Arnold, of York
City. George J. Shetter was chosen as Sec
retary. A SPLENDID CAMPAIGN OPENING.
Lincoln L. Eyre, the popular Philadel
phia lawyer, was the first speaker. He con
gratulated the citizens ofYorK upon the
splendid meeting at the opening of the cam
paign. He was not only pleased, but some
what surprised, to see so many well-known
Republicans present. He said the meeting
reminded him of the days when the Repub
lican party fought for living principles un
der honest leaders. The name of Abraham
Lincoln fitly belonged to such a gathering.
F rom the top of his head to the sole of his
foot the speaker believed in the principle of
protection to American industries and the
carrying out of the pledges of the Repub
lican party in the matter of fair elections
South as well as North, but he said the In
dependent Republicans were not to be
diverted in the present campaign from one
supreme issue. The honor of the State is
involved.
Mr. Eyre dissected the record of Senator
Delamater and showed how his nomination
was obtained in disregard of the wishes of
the Republican voters of the State. He
concluded his remarks with a speech by
paving a warm tribute to )he former admin
istration of Robert E. Pattison.
MAPES MAKES A SPEECH.
George F. Mapes, Chairman of the Inde-,
pendent P.epublican State Committee, wag
troduccd and waa received ".vith tremen
dous applause. He said:
During the past six weeks I have been fa
communication with peoplo of every county in
the State. Everywhere the men who think for
themselves are in revolt and declare they will
have none of thts man Delamater. In many
sections this sentiment Is bold, outspoken, de
fiant. Notably is this the case in the west and
northwest, wbero Pattison clubs have been
formed tLat, in some cases, absorb a majority
of the Republican voters of their respective lo
calities. This condition is especially prevalent
in McKean, Warren and Crawford counties.
Bradford City has a Pattison Republican Club
of nioro than 200 members, Warren another
even larger, and Titnsville still another which
contains members enongh to entirely obliterate
the Republican majority in that city. Alle
gheny is organized to each election precinct,
and the strong Republican counties of Erie,
Mercer, Butler, Lawrence. Beaver and Wash
ington are trembling in the balance.
In the East. Chester has 1,500 Republicans
wbo arc known to bo for Pattison, with tha
chance of a good many more hundreds who
will vote for him andsaynotbing. Montgomery
and Bucks will give Pattison majorities, ana
thousands of Philadelphia Republicans will
vote for him. They have cot used to it there.
where thuy have voted for him three times be
fore, and it comes easier by practice. Ths
majorities in the strong Republican counties
of the northern tier Susquehanna. Bradford
and Tioga will be cut in two in the middle, if
not entirely wiped ont; while in the Demo
cratic counties the usual majorities will bo
nearly doubled. This is no overdrawn picture,
but a plain, unvarnished statement of fact
based upon information obtained from the best
looted politicians of the localities mentioned.
The Allegheny greets the Delaware with a
promise ot victory, and the response goes back
that the east will not bo outdone by the west
in the effort to rid the Republican party and
the people of Pennsylvania of the odious rulo
of Boss Quay.
THE ONLY DANGER NOW.
But I think 1 bear some one saying. Why,
Mr. Mapes, if what you say is true, the Sent U
already won. So it is if tha vote were taken
now. It would not be necessary to hold meet
ings or make speeches in York or anywhere
else, A vote to-morrow would mean an over
whelming defeat for Quay and his ticket. Bat
there still remains four weeks in which the larg
est corruption fund ever known in the history
of American politics will be used to defeat the
will of the people of Pennsylvania by the open,
bold, shameless purchase of votes. While Mr.
Delamater is tickling the ears of aforetime re
formers with bis profession of devotion to pure
nolitics, Mr. Quay and Chairman Andrews are
preparing to test the virtue of the voters of
Pennsylvania by the most profuse expenditure
of money.
This money 13 already flowing in many chan
nels. Quay has bis labor orators,bis labor candi
dates, and his alleged labor party to provide
for; and this is a case in which each laborer
considers himself worthy of his hire. He
doesn't expect to have to strike for wages until
election is over. Jarrett has been brought from
England and Delanev from the West to labor
for the labor vote. These are high-priced la
borers, of course, bnt Quay bas iried the fat
out of the Standard Oil Trust and the other
trusts and onopolies, aLd be can pay high
wages. But Quay expects to do more than pay
wages. Twenty thousand dollars have been set
apart to convince the people of Crawford coun
ty that Candidate Delamater is a candidate
wurthy of their suffrages. If this $20,000 state
ment is denounced as a lie, it is a lie for which
Delamater's friends are responsible. Mr. Dell
mater's henchmen in bis native county boast
of it, and tauntingly ask their opponents, "Can
you beat $20,0007" Republicans of Pennsylra
nlathow do you like this spectacle?
EXPLAINS THE NECESSITY.
Republicans of Pennsylvania, what do you
think of a candidate for Qoyernor who can't
carry his own county without tho expenditure
of nearly twico the sum that it required to
carry tne State for Lincoln? If you think, as
some of you doubtless do. that Mr. Delamater.
with a million or so to stand on, wonldn't more
than reach up to Lincoln's knees in moral and
mental stature, perhaps that might explain the
necessity. But if that is the case, are Repub
licans under any obligation to vote for a candi
date whose only merit is Mr. Qnay's favor ana
the boodle he can spend to elect him? What
ever you may think of Mr. Delamater and hU
chances. Quay and Andrews think he has no
chances except what they-can purchase with,
cold cash. 'Their only hope of electing their
candidate is by a wholesale pnrchase of votes.
What will your answer be? Can you beat
$20,000 In Crawford county? Can yon beat Mr.
Quay's boastful pile of boodle in the State?
lhat is all you have to beat, for Mr. Delamater
is overwhelmingly beaten already. These are
the questions that the Qoay heelers are taunt-
