fSrEClAL TELEGBAM TO THE nlSPATCH.1
Philadelphia. October 28. The fol
lowing appeal, signed by Justus C. Straw
bridge, President, and Herbert "Welsh,
Secretary of the Lincoln Independent Be
publican Committee, was issned to-day to
the voters of the State:
llnal apptal of the Lincoln Independent Kepub-i.-an
Committee to the citizens or Fennsjl
xinia: 3" lTELICAN FtlXOV-ClTIZEXS WeSneak
our last word npon the eve of election to recall
ti'oar minds the one great isne in this con
test, anil to rehearse the evidence developed
('uriii the course of the campaign which insti
ll es the position taken by us In our first appeal.
Ac a'L j ou all on behalf of free Insiltutions.
1 oth in the Commonwealth and in the nation,
t o cast j our vote on November 4 for Robert E.
Pattison as Governor of Pennsylvania, ft e
solemnly advocate this step as the rebuke of
free citizens to one man, and to the principle
of administration which is called "machine"
or "hots" rule, of w Inch ho Is the representa
tive. Other Titan Personal Reasons.
We ak j on to rebuke this man, not for per
gonal reasons but solely because his pnblic
record has convicted him of uncompromising
hostility to the free institutions which our
fathers pave us, which our Civil War was
fought to maintain and upon the integrity of
w inch our future safety and happiness deoends.
Tbc solid and sufficient ground of our opposi
tion to tho Republican candidate for Governor
is that he stands as the representative of these
methods, upon a platform which, with unquali
fied praise, indorses the record and official
character of the junior Senator.
Mr. Dclamater, whose candidacy was dictated
to the convention in June, has openly and with
out reservation accepted this platform. .Nor
did he or his friends, when it was adopted, of
fer any open piotest against this offensive
plank. It is true he has given to citizens whose
ote he wishes to seenre assurance of bis dis
approval of Mr. Quav and of his intended re
pudiation of uim in the event of his own elec
tion, but such promises, in view of Sir. Delama
ter's past relations with Mr. Quay, of the fact
that Mr. Quay had determined upon
him as his candidate so long ago as
October, llsSS. and of Mr. Delamater's
acknowledgement that his nomination
could not hae been obtained without Mr.
Quay's assistance, is out an evidence of Mr.
Delamater's insincerity in making promises of
reform and proof that his election will be uni
versally accepted as a signal triumph of ma
chine politics in Pennsylvania.
Juktified by the Course of Events.
Tue links which bind these men togother are
inaissoluble: they are united by solemn official
V rtv declarations or principles, by close polit
ic i! affiliations and familiarity with similar
poll ical methods. In view of these facts none
l ut thp political visionary could expect that a
political autocrat would bestow the Govern
orship upon a man who would recompense him
for the favor by the destruction or tho limita
tion of his power.
The course of events since tho first utterance
of tLis committee has further justified, for
other and subordinate reasons, the position
i lien taken. More than six months ago Mr.
I'c amater'was charged with serious official de
linquencies by a Republican Senator, who chal
lenged him to bring the case to a test in the
court
Had this challenge been promptly accepted
Mr Delamater could long since have made
his own innocence clear, quite irrespective of
tne lact whether he could or could not have
obtained money damajres. The former, not the
latter, was the vital point both for himself and
the public
The Real Point at Issue
Proof of innocence, not money damages, was
what the occasion called for. Ent Mr. Dcla
mater con ten ted himself with silence and then
when pressed by circumstances, entered the
plea of not guilty. The public, with a legiti
mate interest in the record of all aspirants for
public office, had clearly the richt to demand
proof of the fact that charges made by a re
sponsible person were unfounded. Our ob
jections arc confined to Mr. Delamater's po
sition under the charges, irrespective of the
truth or falsitv of tho charges themselves.
The validity of the charge brought against
Mr. Delamater of having violated the Consti
tution by receivinc State funds m a bnk- with
which ho was connected while a member of the
General Assembly, is a matter of debate be
tween lawyers of eminence. Without pro
nouncing upon the justice of the accusation wo
declare that more serious than the charge it
self is Mr Delamater's response to It. He de
clared that the "matter is nobody's business."
The question of a candidate's obedience to the
Constitution is. on the contrary, the business of
every one. and such a reply as that publicly
given by Mr. Dclamater is evidence of a mis
apprehension on his part of his relations to the
people.
Tho Topic or Ballot Reform.
Mr Delamaterhas reccntlyin pnblic declared
bnn-ili in favor of the Australian ballot syt
teru Uut liis recoidm the benate in regard "to
this matter is singularly unfortunate, At the
last session of the Legislature Mr. Dclamater
bad it m bis power to secure the passage of a
bill emboaj mg in a wholly safe and unobjection
able shape this important reform. The bill,
which had been introdnced by a Republican,
was delayed in its passage. Those interested
in it, upon inquiry as to the cause of the delay,
were told tnat the legislators were waitine for
orders aud that the bill could not be passed
until "order" came.
1 be friends of the bill were referred to Sir.
Iit'laniaur as tho interpreter of the machine
usbes in the matter. Mr. Delamater was per
sonally seen bjthe friends of the bill, and its
provisions were fully explained to him, but he
did not secure Its passage or exert himself in
jurTor, but permitted Mr. Cooper and Mr.
I - ,-vt-.-v-t-cit- a -vr nmnT Z7 . ! rnrrD"cx' m?WPa
Reyburn to smother the bill in special com
mittee. Moreover, when this committee urged upon
Chairman Andrews, of the Republican State
Committee, joint action with the Democratic
Chairman and ourselves looking toward an
immediate practical step in the line of ballot
reform connected with the printing of election
tickets, tho overture received no further re
sponse than the contemptuous sneer that Mr.
Andrews would not recognize a self-constituted
committee.
The Original Objections Sustained.
Better evidences than these are required
from party leaders of sincere interest in a re
form which is of vital moment to the purity of
the ballot and in the protection of the voter. In
a word, onr original aud main objection to Mr.
Delamater's candidacy basin no respect been
weakened by the bearing of the Republican
candidate himself during the campaign.
Our opponents, finding themselves powerless
in an v way to meet the guarded but convincing
objection cited against Mr, Dclamater, have
declared the issue to be the tariff. We answer
that the passage of the McKmley tariff bill has
disposed of that subject for at least three years,
and that the insincerity of the plea of our op
ponents is demonstrated by the fact that in the
Third Congressional district the Republican
managers have neglected to nominate any can
aidate representing protection and their own
party, but have exerted all their infl uence to
seenre the election of a Democrat and a free
trader.
Were any further argument needed to justify
our revolt It might be found in the character
and record of many of the lieutenants who are
conducting the campaign in this city aud in the
expenditure of immense sums of money here
and elsewhere for the purpose of exerting a
fraudulent influence on the election. Indeed,
evidence is already in tho bands of this com
mittee showing that fraud to an extent hitberio
unknown is in operation for the purpose of se
curing the election of the Republican candi
date. At "Work to Prevent Frauds.
This committee is exerting Itself to the ut
most to prevent these iniquitous measures from
reaching success and to bring upon every
perpetrator of fraud the heavy hand of the law.
Fellow citizens, never was this Common
wealth confronted with a more serious issue.
On tho one hand stand the leaders of a, once
great and illustrious party, dead to all sense of
honor and of shame, making no defense against
the indefensible record of their master and of
the machine, but only seeking a continuance of
power by misrepresentation and by fraud. On
the other a man whoso integrity has been
tested, whose public record is unblemished,
and whos9 administration, if he should be
elected, will reflect honor upon himself and
upon our Commonwealth.
Between these two contestants you must
jnde. We ask you on November 4 to cast
jour vote for Robert D. PaUison, believing
that his election in this crisis means the rebuke
of evil men and evil methods, and the restora
tion to the people of this Commonwealth of
their sovereign and lone-usurped rights.
TWO GREAT MEETINGS.
PATTISON ENTHUSIASTICALLY GREETED
BY IMMENSE CROWDS.
Quarryville and Lancaster Give the Demo

IiANCASTEB, October 28. The Demo

to-day. The first was at Quarryville and
the other in Lancaster. Candidates Patti

people and the candidates were PlyelL a.
warm reception, a large number of'Pattison
Republicans being among those present.
The party returned to Lancaster at 4:30
o'clock and was joined by Senator 'Wallace.
The visit to this city was attended with
grand demonstrations of enthusiasm. The
rooms of the Young Hen's Democratic
Societv were open at 7 o'clock for a recep
tion, and were packed till the line formed
and marched to the court house. Build
ings were illuminated and fireworks blazed
out as the route was passed over. The
spacious court room was packed.
In a brief speech Mr. Eshelman intro
duced Mr. PaUison, nnd the scene that en
sued baffles description. Terriffic shouts
shook the building, and it was long before
order could be restored. The Governor
spoke at length, and in excellent tone and
spirit. He was followed by Senator Wal
lace, whose greeting by the audience was no
less cordial. Mr. "Wallace spoke with great
earnestness. He appealed to Pennsylvania
ans to emancipate themselves from personal
domination and the influences of unclean
politics. He invoked all his Democratic
triends to stand by the ticket and to bring
out the full vote, and closed with a thrill
ing peroration which was received with re
sounding cheers. James M. Beck closed the
meeting in a telling speech, which was most
favorably received.

Kkt Yobk, October 28. The Special
Committee of the National Civil Service
Reform League has sent to the Executive
Committee of the league its report npon the
system of removals of Presidental post
masters npon secret charges.
Tbe committee says that "out of
330 answers received to ocr questions
whether or not any cause for tbe
removal was 'given to the man removed, it
appeared that in only 47 cases was such
causes assigned. In 10 cases the matter
was disputed and in 299 cases it appeared,
from uncontradicted statements, that the in
cumbent was removed without any cause
being given for his removal. In a very
large number of cases he solicited informa
tion Irom the Postoffice Department as to
the character of the charges, but this in
formation was almost invariably refused."
The committee also call attention to the
fact that Postmaster General "Wanamaker
says that "all papers in appointment cases
have invariably been deemed privileged
and confidential," by which rnling post
masters relieved of office are refused the
ordinary citizen's right of trial.

Chicago, October 28. Complying with
telegraphio instructions from Pittsburg, a
representative of TnE Dispatch called at
tbe McCormic residence, on Bush street,
where Mr. Blaine is staying while in
Chicago, to inquire what prospect there was
of his visiting Pittsburg or taking part in
the campaign in Pennsylvania. The serv
ant who answered the door bell said that Mr.
Blaine was up stairs resting and could not
be disturbed, but that Mr. Emmons Blaine,
his son, might be seen, if he would do.
Being assured that Emmons would answer
the purpose if James G. could not be gotten
at, the usher retired and presently Mr.
Blaine, Jr., appeared. He regretted ex
ceedingly that he knew nothing about his
father's plans with referenceto thecampaign
in the Keystone State, and he could not tell
whether he contemplated a visit to Pittsburg
or not.
When asked if the telegram from The
Dispatch could be submitted to his father
for an answer, he said that it could not; that
he had received positive instructions that
his father was not' to be disturbed to-night,
and he said if bis father contemplated a
visit to Pittsburg he thought he would
preler to S3V so in a direct communication
to the Bepublican managers. "When asked
if.Mr. "Warmcastle, of Pittsburg, had seen
his father, Mr. Blame, Jr., said he did not
know. In lact, he was in entire ignorance
about the whole affair, and again declared
that it was utterly impossible to get any
word from his parent to-night, whereupon
The DisrATCH correspondent gracefully
withdrew.
An Associated Press dispatch from Chi

his announced programme of rest and qniet
during his short stay in Chicago. To-day

Boston, October 28. In a lengthy in
terview with Mr. Bose Troup, of the Stanley
expedition, on the charges made by Mr.
Stanley against the late Major Barttelot,
Mr. Troup says:
"Mr. Stanley has seen fit to specify two
things which Major Barttelot did which
called for censure from him: One was the
shooting of a Zanzibar porter for stealing
meat, and another for flogging a Soudanese
soldier for some breach of discipline. Now,
Stanley has that all mixed. A Soudanese
soldier was shot for desertion and for steal
ing a gun and ten rounds of ammunition,
and a Zanzibar porter was flogged for steal
ing meat, Messrs. Ward and JJonny voted
in favor of the shooting and Jamison and
myself were opposed to such harsh meas
ures. Major Barttelot cast the deciding vote
in favor of the execution.
A LEGAL EXECUTION.
"The soldier was taken out at 5:30 the next
morning and shot by bis comrades. I was
not present at the execution. I had voted
against it because I did not think the
occasion demanded it. The others were
equally conscientious in voting as they did.
It was a legal execntion, and if those who
condemn were in Major Barttelot's place
'they might have done the same thing.
"Mr. Stanley accuses me of cowardice in
not interfering when I saw Major Barttelot
getting into trouble with the natives. He
told me that I should have forced my advice
upon him. He also told me that I should
have put the Major in irons for shooting
that soldier and sent bim back to England
in disgrace. What nonsense. Mr. Stanley
knows I bad no right to interfere with the
commander of the camp. Major Barttelot
would have been justified in shooting me
on the spot. He was in command, not I.
STANLEY'S LACK OP PHILANTHBOPT.
"Mr. Stanley is a great explorer, but he
went into this for fame and for what he
could get out of it. He has no more phi
lanthropy .than my boot I will go fur
ther and say that tbe expedition was
in the nature of a speculation and not a
philanthropic relief movement The capi
talists who backed it were after the ivory
which Emin Pasha was supposed to have
collected. The officers of the expedition
had promises of a certain share of tbe big
supply of ivory which was expected as a re
ward for their services. Emin Pasha's re
lease was a secondary consideration en
tirely. He did not want to be released. He
had been up there 10 or 12 years and had
held his own all right"

.-SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCTM
Netv York, October 28. Proceedings
were brought to-day in tho United States
Circuit Court which are calculated to call
forth from the Bench an opinion upon the
constitutionality of Speaker Beed's rulings
on tbe subject of quorums. They are brought
by the importing firm of Ballon, Joseph &
fCo., and involve the legality of the imposi
tion of dnties at the rate of 35 cents a pound
and 35 per cent ad valorem on a consignment
pf cloths which arrived in this port July 10
by the steamer City of Richmond. Under
the administration act the appraisers taxed
it as above, holding that it consisted of
woolens, instead oi manufactures of
worsteds
Tho contention Is made by the petitioning
importers that the goods came under the
provisions of the act of March 30, 1883,
which placed the tax at 18 cents and 24
cents a pound, according to grade, and 35
per cent ad valorem. It is set forth in the
papers that the McKinley administration
act, classifying worsted cloths as woolens, is
of no force, as it was never passed, there
being no quorum in Congress at the time
when it was said to have been passed.
Judge Lacombe granted an order requir
ing the Appraiser of the Port and the other
Government officials to file in court all tbe
documents upon which they base their
action in enforcing the duty complained of
by the petitioners.

Leach's father telegraohed to friends in
Chicago, who identified the remains and
thev were shipped to Geneseo for burial.
The bearers who were all acquaintances of
the deceased, were struck with the extreme
length of the coffin, knowing that Leach was
not over C feet high, and before the dirt
was poured over the body the casket was
raised and opened. The horror-stricken
friends gazed not upon the well-known
features of Bomane Leech, but upon the
body of a man not resembling Leach in any
particular and 6 feet 2 inches long. The
body however was buried.
The box the body came in was properly
marked and the only likely explanation is
that Mr. Leach's body got mixed up with
some other corpse at the Chicago under
taker's, and was shipped somewhere else,
while that of an unknown man was sent to
Geneseo.

Two Civil Engineers Killed by a Train on
a Long Hrldge.
reriXIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
New London. Conn., October 28. Ed
ward H. Cooper, aged 27, of New York, and
James Herdmann, aged 30, of New Haven,
civil engineers employed by tbe New York,
New Haven and Hartford Bailroad Com
pany, in surveying the work of bridging tbe
outlet to the Niantic river, seven miles west
of here, were strnck and instantly killed by
a train this morning. '
The bridge has a span 40 feet long at
either end, without railing, and on this span
the men were standing, absorbed in their
work of making measurements from a boat
in tbe river, and forgetting or not knowing
that the train was due. Neither of the men
were aware of the approach of the train
until it was upon them, because of the noise
of splashing water beneath. When the men
became conscious of their danger they at
tempted to escape it by running to the em
bankment, but were overtaken and horribly
mangled under the engine. Had they
jumped into the river they would have been
promptly rescued by the boats engaged in
the work.

fBT DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPAKT.1
London, October 28. The row between
the Chevalier Scovel and "Mr. Sedger, the
manager of the Prince of Wales Theater, has
caused a great deal of talk in theatrical
circles, and it is not over yet It is difficult
to get at the real source of the difficulty, as
neither party is willing to tell the exact
story.
The fact, however, is that Mr. Scovel, who
boasts it is not his voice, but his figure,
which makes him valuable to managers,
fancied Miss Geraldine Ulmar, the prima
donna of "La Cigale," was "mashed" on
him, and every night he played his part of
the stage lover with so much passion that be
caused tbe lady a great deal of annoyance,
which culminated on Saturday by Mr.
Scovel hugging her so tighht in one of the
scenes that she nearly fainted. She struggled
to get loose from bis embraces, and even the
audience noticed Miss Ulmar's anger. She
left the stage in a high temper, and not only
refused to speak to Mr. Scovel, but went to
Mr. Sedger and complained of tbe insult to
which she had been subjected.
Mr. Sedger was incensed at this and had
an angry interview with the amorous tenor,
which culminated in bis saying to Mr.
Scovel, "You had better throw up your
contract; I don't want you any more."
Mr. Scovel replied be would leave, but
after sleeping over the matter he decided be
would make his manager stick to the con
tract, and he therefore got his lawyer to
write a letter to that effect. Mr. Sedger
kept him out of the bill for five nights, and
then, in order to save a lawsuit and to pre
vent Miss Uimar's name being dragged into
the dispute, he consented to take Mr.
Scovel back on a promise of good behavior.
The matter was arranged over a friendly
glass, and now the Chevalier Scovel does
not make love v. ith so much ardor to Miss
Ulmar and is content to indulge his mash
ing proclivities on the ladies in the au
dience. RIOTOUS GERMAN SOLDIERS

DELAMATER WAS SCORED
By Rudolph Blankenbnnr, TYItlx
Kew Points in His Record,
HON. J. H. OSJIER'S FIRST SPEECH
In Behalf of Mr. Pattison a Hard Bit at
Machine Politics.
HANI 0THEE MBETI5GS LAST NIGHT
Though the weather last night greatly de
creased the size of the crowd of Independent
Republicans at Lafayette Hall, it could not
dampen their ardor, and what at first looked
like a meager reception, proved rather to be
an ovation.
The people were fnll of enthusiasm for the
cause they champion, and cheer after cheer
greeted the speakers as they made their most
salient points.
New features were many. There was one
man who bad never before made a speech in
favor of Mr. Pattison. Then the Montooth
Band furnished the musical portion of the
programme, "What's in a Name?" This
band is composed mainly of Republican!,
who named their organization after the man
they greatly admire and honor. Last night
the announcement was made that every
member of the band was ready to vote for
Pattison, and their little ballets will tell its
tale on next Tuesday.
The crowd began cheering at the appear
ance of the first man on the staze, and the
applause continued nntil the last moment,
when a grand cheer was given for Governor
Pattison, the man they hope, to again see
seated in the Gubernatorial chair. The
mere mention of his name called for tbe
wild applanse and enthusiasm of those who
braved the elements to come out to hear the
issues of the campaign discussed by mem
bers of their own p-irty who have refused to
obey the party lash and now stand firm for
Pattison and reform.
cheers foe the chairman.
Chairman Ayres, of the Independent Be
publican Committee on Meetings, was re
ceived with cheers as he stepped on the
stage. In opening the meeting, he said:
"The Hon. John Sherman said. In his
speech at Old City Hall, that once in
awhile people who think tbey are
better than others go away by
themselves and form a third party of
themselves. We may not be better than
others, but we are not runninz for office as
is Dclamater. We are not a third party,
but are Republicans who own our votes.
Applause.
"My attention was directed to a statement
that N. G. Ayres (that's me) has been a
Prohibitionist since 1884. I may be s Pro
hibitionist in habit, but not in party. I
worked for General Beaver in 1883, and I
want to say that the men who now stand by
Quay are tbe men wbo stabbed Beaver. I
worked for Beaver in 1886 and for Harrison
in 1888. They say I was in the office of F.
M. Magee for two years, as an attorney, and
therefore I milst he a follower of C. L.
Magee. I was in the office of Colonel Bayna
as a law student, and for that reason I might
be called a follower of Quay."
William S. Pier, Esq., was introduced as
chairman of the meeting, and in accepting
the honor said:
the thanks op me. pier.
"I thank you for the honor conferred
upon me to-niht, and am thankful that we
can stand out against the domineering
power of bossism. Has the Bepublican
party forgotten how Matthew Stanley Quay
betrayed Curtin, whom he had promised to
support for United States Senator? Have
we forgotten how he opened the doors pf the
penitentiary to his partner and his gang
who confessed to having bribed a Legisla
ture? Has the Bepublican party of Penn
sylvania forgotten its glorions past? Caa
she so far forget her self-respect as to over
look these facta? Because these charges
are made by persons of responsibility.
"Quay has been challenged to enter suit
for libel, and has not availed himself of the
opportunity to compel the proof of these
charges. Therefore, can the people of Penn
sylvania so demean themselves as to elect
his creature who was never heard of until
Quay thrust him upon the partv as the.
candidate for Gubernatorial honors. If so,
it is time to bow our heads in shame. Some
one says: "That's so. "J I don't believe this
will be the result announced next Tuesday.
A voice: "Not if we can help it"! The
great 'State of Allegheny, as Lincoln ex
pressed it, will give a majority, and a big
majority, for Bobert E. Pattison. Cheers.
A man of whom we have not only heard,
but who has been tried and not found want
ing. Applanse. A man who does not
fail when assailed, and traducers libel bim,
to great cheering bring tbem into court,
where they are compelled to answer for
it." Cheers.
TIME TO CALL A HALT,
THINKS MR. BLANKENBURQ, THE PHILA.
DELPHIA MERCHANT.
A Forcible Speech That Was Loudly Ap
plaudedSome of tho Points Made Why
the Speaker Predicts PattJson's Election
by 40,000 Majority.
Rudolph Blankenburg, of Philadelphia,
prominent business man of that city, made
a very forcible speech, following Mr. Pier.
He began by saying that he was a Bepub
lican to the backbone, and a protectionist,
but when Republicanism degenerated into
Quayism, it was time to call a halt Tbe
State, east and west, north and south, was
ready to throw off the intolerable yoke.
"Who is Quay?" the speaker asked.
"Has anyone ever seen him; has he ever
appeared upon a platform here before you?
He does the same here as in Philadelphia,
steals quietly in without registering, pulls
the wires, and then steals out again. He
knows how to be silent in IS languages, as
has been said of him. This is 17 too many.
Had he one honest language he would
have long since defended himself against
the gravest eharges-that can be made against
the honor of a man."
The speaker then proceeded to review the
charges named in a manner that brought
forth repeated applause, and declared tbaf
his reign in this State would end on Tues
day next
