to tlic same matter a second and perhaps a
third time. '
McCamant then continued: "I did not
turn Bardsley's account over to the Attor
ney General 00 days after a settlement was
made: that ha never been done within the
pat 50 vears: there lias not been an in
stance where the Treasurer of Philadelphia
paid in the money within the year in which
it was collected. 'Treasurer Southwick, un
der Auditor General Schell, a Democrat,
carried $400,000 and a Treasurer of Scran

Democrat, defaulted.
Skinner The Senator from Allegheny
ouht to object to this as bringing in poli
tics Flinn I want to say that I will object
when I have objections to make.
Mr. Fow was questioning McCamant
about Southwick, when Mr. Flinn said:
"Now I do object. We are going bevond
the limitations provided by the resolutions.
McCainaut denied tliat any of the checks
drawn by Bardsley ever came to him. In
answer to Mr. Flinn .the Auditor General
said all the taxes lor 1889 have been settled
by Bardslev. The Attorney General nas
continuing his examination of McCamant in
reference to the personal property tax,
when Itufus K. Shapley objected, saying
his client had been examined time and again
on these points, and that nothing new was
being adccd or brought out.
' rUXX TALKS OF LOOSE METHODS.
Jlr. Flinn The Attorney General has
shown u. one thine that the methods of
iloinc business in the Auditor General's de
partment have been very loose.
Attorney General Hens-el I have endeav
ored, as far as possible, to avoid a repetition
of testimony previously taken, but of which
I have no record beyond that contained in
the public press I have endeavored to be
fair with the w itness, and have not sought
to pres him too far, although his evidence
here will be cf assistance to me when he is
called a a witness in the suit now pending
between the Commonwealth and the State.
Shapley Tf I understand the Attorney
General right he is using this opportunity
to examine witnesses in a suit now pending,
but not to assist this committee. The
political part- to which the Attorney Gen.
eral heloncs adopted a platform based upon
groundless slanders of State officials. In
all this time not a scintilla of evidence
aeainst the State Treasurer has been pro-
duced. The only evidence brought against
my client, the Auditor General, were the
stubs of cheeks bearing initials drawn to
Bardsley's own order, and could only be
cached by him, and a few letters in which
there happens to be a coincidence of dates,
which Mr. McCamant acknowledges and ex
plains. XOT READY TO IUfCfSS POLITICS.
Hensel If there is to be a political dis
cussion in this committee, if the soundness
or unoundness ot any political platform is
to be discussed, I have no place in this com
mittee I came here at thy request of the
execntUe of the State to aid the committee
in the promotion of the purposes for which
it wa created, and although I say it, who
ought not to say it, that until to-day the
witness never aked nor answeicd the ques
tions put to-dav. I have come here and
shall stay here, with the grace of the com
mittee, to explain the methods by which
the affairs of two important offices of the
Common wealth arc conducted. I will fol
low up the examination of the Auditor
General by an inquiry into the State Treas
ury. I propose to inquire into what influ
ence was used to determine the selection of
newspapers in which to advertise the mer
cantile appraiser's list. For that purpose I
shall desire to Mibporna about a dozen wit
nesses, some of whom have appeared before
this committee and have refused to testify.
There was some discussion on the Attor
ney General's proposition, and it was deter
mined that it would be better to finish the
examination of the Auditor General and
the Treasury Departments first. The At
torney General acreed to that, and then
pave notice to the Auditor General that he
desired a list of all the corporations, public
or private, that were more than 00 days in
arrears. Mr. Hens'.i said he would exam
ine the State Treasurer in the evening, and
a recess was taken until 7:30 o'clock.
. TEW 3IORE QUESTIONS.
At the openinc of the evening session
Attorney General Hensel asked Auditor
General "McCamant whether he had read the
testimony of the police magistrates, which
showed that .Tohn Bardsley deducted $450
from the magistrates fund.
"Xo, sir."
"Xor do you know with whom he divided
that roonev?"
".o. sir: I do not."
"In recard to the mercantile appraisers'
list, did you see the proof of list and give it
your approval?"
"I did."
"Do you eive it to one paper and allow
them to stereotype it and give it to other
papers?"
"I know nothing about the stereotyping."
"Well, do you consider it in accordance
with law that the report should be printed
in a German paper in English type?"
"As to that I cannot say."
State Treasurer Boyer then went on the
stand and was askedj "Did you take any
steps to collect the amount which John
Bardsley carried over that allowed by law?"
"No. I took no legal steps, but asked
him to make his returns at as an early date
as possible."
"Did yon know that Mr. Idvsey was ad
visine Bardslev to make limited returns and
take his own time?"
"No, sir."
LIYSEY QUITE A FEATURE.
"Did you know of any correspondence
betw ecn Mr. Livscy and John Bardslev?"
"No, sir."
Treasurer Boyer in answer to iurther
questions said he received a letter
from Mr. Livsev two weeks after
he left Harrishurg. He said he
was enjoying his trip so did not meet him
in Canada. Knew during 1890 that Bards
ley was indebted to the State. Knew- lie
was largely indebted, but did not know the
unonut. Had the data in his office. An
examination of the books might show
that Bardsley was over 51,000,000
in debt to the State; the school warrants
for 5425,000 drawn by the State Supt
last December for the school year ending
.Tunc, 1891, were drawn with his consent,
but could not say it was done at his request.
He was never solicited by any Philadelphia
citv official to have these warrants drawn,
and did not personally notify the State
superintendent that the condition of the
Treasury would warrant the payment of
his money.
ErriXT Or THE HU3IES LAW.
The Humes law, repealed by the last
Legislature, provides that at the end of each
quarier all over SI.CmO.OOO in thc general
ltind had to be turned into the sinking fund,
as he expected to need all this money for
appropriations. Extraordinary efforts
were necessary hast year. He had
52,000,000 in the general fund. In consult
ation w ith Mr. I-ivsey, the latter Kuggested
that the school warrant for Philadelphia
might he drawn and paid, and he would
consult the Superintendent of Public In
struction. The warrants were drawn without
any consultation between the witness
and the superintendent, he supposed the
superintendent would not have drawn the
warrants unless it was proper, and he paid
them, was pleased at the opportunity to re
duce the amount in the general fund and
thought he was doing a proper thing
for the State. Knew nothing at
that time of the relation of
5150,000 made to the city of Philadelphia
a commission on taxes collected, but not
wholly paid into the State Treasury. Iu
1890 the bulk of Philadelphia's school ap
propriation was paid in March for the school
year ending June 1, 1890.
Mr. Skinner then presented the following
resolution.
Wmr-KAH, it lias become apparent from
our examination una irom other evidence
thai the tntc oi rennsvlvania is annually
losing WuOuo in tlio advertisement and
collection of mercantile taxes la Philadel
phia, and other laifje sums from the reten
tion in the oflices r Register or Wills and
City Trea-uier in said city of I'hiladelphia,
and
Whcieas. The Governor of the Common
wealth has convened the Senate of PennsjI
Minia in extra session to consider the con
duct of the present State Ti easurer and Au
ditor General, therofore,
Resolved. That the Governor of tho Com
monwealth bo requested to consider tho ex
pediency and wisdom of
N CONVENING BOTH BRANCHES
of the Lesislaturo for tho purpose, in ad
dition -to the duty which shall now devolve
upon tho Senate, of repealing existing laws
relative to tho advertisement and col
lection of mercantile taxes and the
passage of laws for tho abolition
of all fees now paid the Itcpister of Wills and
the City Treasurer in such time that the
change In existinp laws may be made to ef
fect the terms of pflleers to bo elected at the
ensuing election.
Also that legislation may be immediately
effected, putting somo check upon tho
methods of doing business in the Auditor
General's office and for the better safety and
ere of the largo amounts of public moneys
now under the custody of the State Treas
urer. Mr. Flinn 6aid he would vote, against the
resolution, as he did not believe in conven
ing a special Legislature for the benefit of
Philadelphia.
"Captain Skinner's motion," said Mr.
Fow, "I take it is, only anticipating
the report we shall make to
the Governor. While I do not
desire for personal reasons that a special
session of the Legislature should be called,
as an investigator I think it would be just
to amend the laws and thereby save vast
sums to the Commonwealth." The resolu
tion was put to a vote and lost, the three
Democrats voting in the affirmative aud the
five Republicans in the negative.
THE LOSS TO THE STATE.
Attorney General Hensel, in reply toa
question from Senator Flinn, said that in
rouud numbers the loss to the State by the
Bardsley defalcation, if the litigation now
in progress is decided against the Connnon
w eaith, will amount to over 51,300,000.
The committee then went into executive
session, when it was determined to adjourn
until October 12, when the committee will
meet in Philadelphia and examine such wit
nesses as the Attorney General may desire
in reference to the publication of the Mer
cantile Appraiser's list. The investigation
will be continued in Harrisburg on the fol
lowing day.
THEY UPHOLD PATTISON.
MAST TtEPCBI.ICA?fS CONDEMN THE
ACTION OF THE COMMITTEE.
The Governor, They Say, Is Doing Noth
ing but Ills Duty A Speedy Investiga
tion hy tho Senate Should Tollow
Cooper Sees Politics In It.
Philadelphia, Sept. 29. Special.
Nothing has received more comment in the
political circles of this city for some time
past than the action of the Legislative In
vestigating Committee at Harrisburg over
Governor Pattison's request that Attorney
General Hensel be allowed to appear be
fore the committee and examine witnesses.
The object of Senator Flinn's to "eo slow"
and the ultimate resolution adopted by the
committee to confine the inquiry to the
present officials was freely criticised.
Postmaster John Field, although declin
ing to criticise the action of the committee,
was emphatic in his opinion that all charges
of such a character as those preferred
against McCamant asa public official should
be immediately investigated and pressed
through without delay. "If I was a mem
ber of the Republican partv in the Senate,"
said Mr. Fvrld, "I should have been one of
the first tc call on the Governor'foran in
vestigation and have pressed it to a speedy
issus."
A DECISIVE REPUBLICAN.
Colonel Wendell I. Bowman was also
very decisive in denouncing any attempt to
make the investigetion a party fight and
delay the publication of the truth. "As to
Senator Flinn's advice to go slow well, he
is an office holder, and I suppose must say
something. If Senator Flinn imagines by
those measures that he is serving the best
interests of his party, I am convinced he
will find he is building an edifice which
will fall over on his head.
Personally I am a staunch Bepubliean,and
as such I unhesttatingly state that in the
present case it is the "duly of Republicans,
Independents and Democrats to unite and
as good citizens, do their utmost to insure a
speedy, complete and full investigation.
Tdcreis no doubt in my mind that Governor
Pattison is an honest man and his motives
should not be impugned. As Governor, he
is bound by the oath of office to demand
the investigation, aud by throwing obsta-
cales in the way no good end can be served."
Collector Cooper could not express him
self so disinterestedly, and although he
deprecated any attempt to make such a
matter a political fight, he was of the
opinion that politics alone was the object of
the Governor's action. "Or why," queried
the collector, "did he convene' the Senate
for October 13 instead of at once?"
PATTISOK' DOING HIS DUTY.
Prothonotary William B. Mann, Repub
lican, spoke unhesitatingly: "Governor
Pattison is an honest man. It is his duty
to convene the Senate in a matter like this
and it is the duty of the Senate to investi
gate and ascertain whether there is any case
or not. Their function is exactly the same
as that of a grand jury. No good end can be
gained by delay."
Colonel John I. Rogers, Democrat, was
decided in his opinion that both Senator
Flinn and Handy Smith would regret the
action they had taken in this matter and
that when they came to reflect they would
see nothing was to be gained by delay or
attempts to shield the offenders.
Coroner Ashbridge, Republican, could
not be seen, but Deputy Coroner Dugan,
Republican, held about the same views as
Collector Cooper, and declared the Gover
nor's action a political one entirely.
LOCAL IDEAS OF IT.
MAST BELIEVE THAT THEKE IS A
DESIRE FOR DELAV.
Politics tho Guiding Spirit of the Expres
, sions Some Leaders GnanI Their Senti
ments Doubt as to tho Policy of the
Movement.
Chairman Arthur Kennedy, of the Alle
gheny Corporation Committee, does not be
lieve there is any attempt to delay the in
vestigation. Yesterday he said:
"I have seen nothing yet to convince me
that the policy of the Republicans is to
retard the investigation until after the
election. It is contrary to the policy of
the party. It has been the Republicans so
far who havemade the discoveries, and I
believe that if there is any crookedness, the
guilty persons will be punished. What if
money has been stolen by Republicans?
There are rascals in every partv. I do not
believe the investigation will have any
eflect on the fall campaign, and there would
not be any good reason for stopping the
trial."
J. J. Miller is firm in the belief that the
Republicans will certainly try to hold the
investigation over until after the election.
Said he: The Republicans will be able to
db it, but whether they do or not, it will be
a great card for the Democrats. If the
officials could prove innocence the Republi
cans would push matters more rapidly and
close up the whole aflair inside of a week,
because that would be the best piece of
campaign work they could do. I suppose
they will delay, though there is no call for
it, and a delay will injure the Republican'
chances almost as much a conviction of
guilt."
MR. MAGEE LIKES THIS WEATHER.
C. L. Magce and ex-Senator James S.
Rut an were found roosting on the railing
in front of the Court House gossiping with
William Reardon. Mr. Magee was asked
whether it was the policy of the Republi
cans to delay the investigation of the
boodle charges until after the fall election.
His reply was:
"This "is the most delightful weather we
have had this summer. It would be a good
plan to see the signal service people and
find out how long it is going to last.
Ex-Senator ltutan concurred in this
opinion, and then Mr. Magce stated that he
did not wish to be interviewed on that sub
ject. Colonel W. D. Moore The Republicans
are in a hole and will try to delay matters
until after the present campaign. Then
there will be a whitewash. But it makes
very little difference, as the-Democratic
State ticket will win this year whether or
not the Republicans bar the progress of the
investigation.
George Elphinstone says: "The Repub
lican party is above men. Some of its mem
bers may be rascals, but the proportion is
less than in any other political party. I do
not believe it is" the policy of the Repub
lican party to obstruct the woTk at Harris
burg. Our party asks a full investigation,
but of course there must be sufficient time
to make the work thorough."
A DEMOCRAT'S OPINION.
John Ennis said there was no doubt the
policy of the Republicans was to postpone
action, but he thought it was too late now
for a delay to hare any effect on this cam
paign. 'Squire Herman Handel, Democrat I
tmnK the Governor acted penectiy consci
entiously in calling thf special session as
the constitution provides for. Who is it
that is making all the noise? Why, the
thieves, of course. They don't want an in
vestigation. It will hurt in the way of
votes.
Ex-Police Judge N. S. Brokaw, Republi
can The investigation should take place,
by all odds. If it is whitewashed now there
is no donbt the Rcnublican nartv will lose
many hundreds of votes, but now that it is
called, have it by all means. I have known
Livsey for years', and don't think he would
be a party to wrong of any kind. What we
want is to win this year, and any action, to
my mind, .that the Senate may take will not
affect the solid phalanifof the Republican
party.
Attorney Lloyd, Democrat I am sorry
that this has occurred. Everything is going
off with a hurrah just now, but yousee we
are in the minority, and by the time the
Senate meets the nine, days"' wonder will be
over, andrara very much afraid that'it will
act as a boomerang on the party. It would
have been better to have waited until after
the e.cction than to spring it at this time.
EXPECTS TO SEE A QUORUM.
Colonel Thomas All I can say is that I
think there will be a quorttm. There is no
doubt that the Democratic Senators will
all be there, and no Republican Senator
whose skirts are not besmirched with mud
can afford to stay away.
F. X. Coyle-Tjust take the list of people
who have called on Quay. Who are they?
There is General Reeder, who has been try
ing for the last 14 years to live "down his
record of the riots. Controller of the Treas
ury Gilkeson is frothing but award politi
cian, and by some means or other sneaked
into the chairmanship of the County Com
mittee, and from there to his present posi
tion. Of General Hastings you know noth
ing can be said. Hamilton Disston, who
knows nothing about politics, but more
about saws, has been kept in the party for
no other purpose than to bleed him. All
that coterie have called on Senator Quay,
for what purpose? I don't know, but can
make u fair guess. It was to fix up a plan
to get out of the hole they are
in, and to my mind they will have
to connive a long time before they
can get out of it Governor Pattison has
done exactly what any other man would do
if placed in the same position. He has been
placed in authority by Republican as well as
by Democratic votes, and he owes it to the
people. He has done his duty in calling
the special session, and can do nothing
more. The Senate being Republican by a
large majority, will probably refer the en
tire matter to a committee, and that will
end it.
ONLY WHAT WAS TO BE EXPECTED.
Senator P. J. Meeks It is nothing more
than the people could expect Did not the
Republican press as a whole denounce and
fling to the wind the Bardsley scandal,
which was placed in 'such a light that no
honorable man holding the position that
Governor Pattison does could allow it to go
by unnoticed? As to their not being able
to get n quorum, that is impossible. Every
Democratic Senator will be present, as well
as the Republicans, and if tney don't come
there is a way of bringing them.
Dr. Judah Isaacs There is but one way
out of this, to my mind, and that is to call a
special meeting of both branches of the leg
islature, and correct the law that allows the
Treasurer of Philadelphia to collect and
hold state moneys. The present session
will not amount to shucks, in my opionion,
because we're not iu it. Governor Pattison
is evidently trying to do the right thing,
but he is too greatly handicapped by the
Republican majority to accomplish very
much.
A Couple of Allegheny Raids.
A large double brick house at 217 East
street, Allegheny, was raided by Detective
Glenn and Officers Thornton and Lee last
night. The building was occupied by Gertie
Cook on one side and Mrs. Steen on the
other, both of whom were the subjects of
complaints from the neighbors. In Miss
Cook's apartment a little company of two
men, the proprietress and another woman
were playing cards, and in Mrs. Steen's a
coterie of three men and two women were
found drinking beer. They were locked up.
the women, aside from those named, regis
tering as Annie Dale, Hazel Barclay and
Grace Kline.
The l'ostofflco Moves To-night.
Postoffice people are happy in the antici
pation of speedily getting out of the old
cramped quarters. At 12 o'clock to-night
the move to the new office will be made.
Everything has been prepared so that all
the business will be moving smoothly along
at the new place within an hour after the
old one is deserted. There will be no inter
ruption in making mails or deliveries. AH
renters of lock boxes have been furnished
with keys for the new ones. Special ar
rangements have been made for showing
visitors about the building to-morrow.
Comfortable Cool Weather.
A gradual fall of temperature has brought
the weather once more to a comfortable
stage. The highest point reached yesterday
was 73, late in the afternoon. At 8 A. sr.
it was 63; at noon, 67; at 2 p. M., 71; at
5 p. ii., 73, and at 8 r. m., 62. The
weather bureau reports .40 of an inch of rain
fall during the day. This is quite a change
from 90 temperature nnd no rain, as it was
on Sunday and for days previous. Indica
tions are'for little alteration in the weather
to-day. To-morrow promises to bu some
what warmer.
Attacked a Father and Son.
Thomas Eaton, John McCIury and Thomas
Driscoll were arrested "last night on a charge
made by Max Schumnn, a junk dealer at 72
Seventh avenue. He says about noon yes
terday the prisoners and two other men en
tered his store and demanded money from
his 15-year-old son. The boy would not
comply and the men set upon him, knocked
him down and robbed lnm. Schuman ap
peared and was similarly treated. Officer
Rosenblatt arrested the three men and is
after the others. Informations will be made
against them by Schuman.
Getting Back at Each Other.
Michael Semko was committed to jail by
Alderman Rellly last night for assaulting
Mary Heily, C years old. The parties are
Poles and live at Four-Mile Run, near the
Colfax school. A few days agoSemko's
brother entered suit against an uncle of the
child for keeping a speakeasy. The uncle
retaliated bv bringing a similar suit ajrainst
Serako's wife, and yesterday Mrs. Heily
entered a further suit against Semko as
stated above. AH the cases are to be heard
Saturday.

THE PITTSBURG t DISPATCH, "WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER
BRENNEN'SBIGBOMB
4
He-Tells Why the Democratic Com
mittee of Eighteen Did Not
Fill the County Tfcket.
NOT A CHANCE TO WIN THE FIGHT.
The Idea of Nominating a District Attorney
Candidate He Says Is Surely
Suicidal.
STRAIGHTOUT MOVEMENTS CONDEMNED,
ETety Effort Declared Needed to Place Judge Kennedy
oit the Bench.
The letter of the Democratic Committee
of Eighteen, which did not fill vacancies on
the ticket, was sent out last night, and is
signed by County Chairman Brennen. The
committee explains the action it took, and
hopes to draw off the leal contingent of
the Democracy from putting another ticket
in the field. It holds that it will take all
the efforts of the party to elect Judge Ken
nedy and that any talk of putting a candi
date for District Attorney in the field is
useless and will only "endanger the balance
of the ticket.
A meeting of the County Committee has
been called for Saturday to make arrange
ments for nominating delegates to the Con
stitutional Convention. In this connection
it was rumored that the protesting Demo
crats had made a combination with the
Governor and Secretary Harrity to refuse
the report of the Committee of Eighteen
and put a full ticket before the people.
Conservative Democrats, however, believe
that the arguments of the committee will
have the effect of stopping this movement.
The full text of the address is as follows:
TnE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME.
To tho Democrats of the county of Alle
gheny: An opportunity has been presented to tho
Democratic party such as has not been
afforded it, perhaps ever before, to establish
a principle and secure a Judge with honor; a
newcourt of common picas organized in this
connty; a bill framed by a Democrat, pre
sented by a Democrat, voted for by every
Democrat present in the Legislature, ap
proved by nnd its judges appointed by a
Democratic Governor; the largest and most
representative Democratic convent on that
ever convened in the county of Allegheny
unanimously and enthusiastically indorsed
the appointment of Kobert E. Pattison, the
Democratic Governor of Pennsylvania, and
the principle of a non-partisan Judiciary.
BIRTH OF TnE STRAIGHTOUTS.
These appointments wore so eminently fit
that they received the approval of every
newspaper in the county of Allegheny, and
were indorsed by the Republican County
Committee, after fair notice, by an over
whelming vote.
Subsequently disappointed Republican
candidates, whoso names had been pre
sented to the Democratic Governor of Penn
sylvania nnd rejected because they did not
as fully comply with tho demands of a capa
blo, honest and UDControllablo Judfciary as
those solected, commenced the agitation of
opposition to tho Judiciary ticket nominated
unanimously by the Democratic convention
nnd almost unanimously endorsed by the
Republican County Committee, that their
selfish ambitions might be gratified at the
expense of tho administration of the law,
and thnt they might have a little cheap
notoriety by having their names paraded
through tho press as candidates forjudges.
This agitation bore fruit In the collection
of somo four hundred (400) more or less rep
resentative sore-heads, ex-offlce holders and
disappointed office seekers, representing no
organization, nor citizens delegating them
In an orderly and formal way (as the
primaries of tho "Straightfouts" were unat
tended) to represent them at this meeting,
which was managed by a Republican ex-offlce
holder, who, by reason of his record,
had been defeated by a majority of about
10,000 within two years. Tho name or one of
tho candidates nominated by this meeting
had been presented to the Governor of Penn
sylvania nnd his appointment refused, lie
was and is well known to have been the
representative of the "Republican ring" of
Allegheny county without interruption for
the last 15 vears, and was defeated by Judge
Bailey In 1S77.
Another candidate withdraws from tho
ticket. Ono of tne pretenses of this so
called "straightout" Republican movement
was that tho Republican County Committee
had no right to make nominations for the
Republicans, yot a committee composed of
live persons, under tho management of
Arch 11. Rowand, Jr., (tho life and spirit of
this so-called Republican "straightout"
movement) undertook and did nominate a
candidate tor judgo to offset tho aforesaid
withdrawal without submitting it to cither
a convention or a connty committee.
Wo appeal to the Democrats of this county
and say: That in this quarrel between tho
two Republican factions tho Democratic or
ganization has naught to do other than that
this "straightout" movement is the avowed
representative of bitter, rancorous partisan
ship, which rejects the Democratic principle
of a non-partisan Judiciary as essential to
tho administration of the law, and relnses to
concede that the Democracy of Allegheny
connty is entitled to representation iu the
courts of the county.
HAD NO ROOM FOR JUDGE KENNEDY.
The following from tho Leader of Septem
ber 7, 1891, in answer to the suggestion that
Judgo Kennedy bo nominated by tho
"str.iightouts" to till a vacancy thon exist
ing on that ticket, explains itself, and shows
the Intolerant thoughtand partisan principle
underlying this movement:
Evening Leader, September 7, ISM.
The suggestion that the straightout Repub
licans place Judge Kennedy on their ticket
is utterly nonsensical. One of tho chief pur
poses of the straightout movement was to
nominate a lull Republican ticket. Tho
straightouts cannot legitimately do other
wise, nor does tho impetus to nut nn .i mnn.
grol list of candidates emanate from within
their lines. Tho Democrats might bo reached
in that way, but the straightouts are not
cruising after Democrats with Kennedy's
colors at their masthead. Hence mention
orKennedy's name forastraightout indorse
ment is a mistake, and cannot bo seriously
considered by the committee on vacancies.
The solo object and only hope of the par
ties behind the "straightout" movement is
to elect Charles S. f ettcrnian, and theyhope
to accomplish their object by defeating the
Democracy of this county; by falsely and
maliciously proclaiminga dishonest alliance
between the leaders of the Democratic and
Republican parties. This is false, and those
who utter and circulate it know that they
are slanderers, as it involves not only n
charge of dishonesty against tho Democratic
Governor of Pennsylvania, but the cor
ruption and servility of his appointees for
judges.
Tho election of tho appointee o Governor
Pattison can In no wise profit the leaders ol
either party, other than that they may bo
oenefltted.lifco all citizons.by the election of
a free. Independent, able and non-partisan
Judiciary.
It is claimed by some that tho Democratic
party of Allegheny county can elect a dis
trict attorney this year, and therefore thoy
ndvocate a nomination for this ofilce. The
improbability, if not Impossibility, of this.
Is mado manifest thus:
NO POSSIBLE SHOW TO WIN.
. If tho contest were, between tho regular
Republican candidate and the candidate of
the Democratic party, then every Repub
lican vote withheld Irom the regular Re
publican candidate, and cast for tho Demo
cratic candidate, would count two; but with
three candidates in the field, a regular Re
publican and an alleged "etraightout" Re
publican, and tho Democratic candidate,
then evory voto withheld by a Republican
lrom the regular Republican candidate, and
cast for the "straightout" candidate, only
incicases tho possibility of the Democratic
candidate's election by one instead or by
tw o, as 1 the first case.
To illustrate: It is estimated, in view of
tho existing political excitement, that there
will be at least 30.C00 Republicans votes
polled at tho coming election (tegular Re
publicans and "stratelitouts"), and that
there will bo about 17,000 Democratic votes
cast. 'ow, in order to elect a Democratic
candidate, the "stmightpufmovonicntmust
poll 13 W0 votes and thoegular Republicans
17 U00, and tho Democratic candidate a few
mora than 17.000. to elvnhim a minrnHtv over
. the regular Kopublican candidate. Itmakos
no difference in tuese figures if the uemo
cratic candidate only polls the Democratic
vote of 17,000 he cannot be elected unless
"the "straightouts" poll more tbnn 13.000, for
if they poll less tlian this number then the
regular Republican candidate will have thnt
difference more than 17,000, which would bo
his plurality over the Democratic candidate,
who recoived but 17,000.
In view of theso figures nnd conditions, It
argues mathcraAtical idiocy, and is equal to
saying that the lesser is greater than tho
whole, to say that a Democratic candldato
can be elected.
It is not true, as nlleged.nor Is it intended,
or was it over understood or thought or that
the names of the Republican candidates,
either regular Republican or "straigbt-out
for Disttict Attorney or Prothonotnry,
would be printed upon the Democratic
ticket, and the charge that theso names will
be so printed is mado ignorantly or dis
honestly. The Democratic ticket to bo voted Novem
ber 3, 1S9I, will contain no names except tho
names of thoso who wore nominated at the
last Democratic State and County Conven
tion, and at tho Constitutional Convention,
and will be as follows:
State ticket, containing tho names of the
Democratic candidates for Treasurer and
Auditor General and tho 13 Democrats for
members of tho Constitutional Convention:
tho judiciary ticket, with n Judge of the
Orphan's Court, and Judges of the Court of
Common Picas No. 3; the connty ticket, con
taining a Jury Commissioner and candi
dates lor the Constitutional Convention.
A BIT OF TELLTALE HISTORY.
In view of the fact that the organizers
and leaders of the "straightout" movement
have heretofore been repudiated by the
people wo refer to the defeat of Mr. Fetter
man by Judge Bailey and of Arch II. Row
and by R. II. Johnston; thnt their ticket is a
protest against a non-partisan judiciary nnd
Democratic representation in tho courts
(sco Leader of September 7, 1691); that the
regular Republicans, recognizing and ap-
Jireciating tho principle or a non-partisan
ndiclary, nnd tho further fact of
tho regular Republicans nominating
a Democratic Judge, and thereby
provoking a revolt amomj the In
tolerant partisans of tho Ropubllcan
party, tho Democratic party is asked to
place itself in a position of hostility to the
principle of a non-partisan Judiciary, tho
long settled policy of the pai t3 in this coun
try, and renominate candidates to opposo
the regular Republicans and assist tho
"straightouts" In defeating this principlo
and tho Democratic nominee for Judge,
thereby to stultify themselves and afford an
excuse for Republicans to vote against
Judge Kennedy and for Charles S. Fetter
man. It is to argue that tho leadors of tho regu
lar Republicans are not human; that thoy
would stand by and see a revolt in their
party becauso they had placed u Democrat
on their ticket, under tho principle and
polioy urged and advocated by the Democ
racy to a man, nnd then see thnt same Dem
ocratic party abandon the princip.o of a
non-partisan Judiciary, and enter into a con
tost nnd ally themselves with the opponents
of this principle In a fruitless effort to
elect a District Attorney, and not say to
their committeemen on election day:
If tho Democrats will not contend
for the principle of a non-partisan Judici
ary, and the appointments of a Democratic
Governor, wo will not ask Republicans to
do so, bnt give orders to substitute Fetter
man for Judgo Kennedy on tho Republican
ticket, and then, when the polls closo on
election night, tho result must necessarily
be that Judges JlcClung and Porter, haying
tho regular Republican voto. and Charles S.
Fctterman having the tegular Ropubllcan
and 'straight-out" vote, will be tho three
elected, and the Democratlo candidate, hav
ing only the Democratic vote, and such
straggling Republicans as may voto inde
pendently, will bo beaten in the house of his
frionds.
NEW C0LLECT0ES AND USHEES.
A Novel System of Seating Adopted for Use
at the Cathedral.
The meeting called by Rev. Father Mc
Dermott to choose collectors and ushers to
serve during the Sunday services at St.
Panl's Cathedral was held last evening in
?he Episcopal residence. It was resolved
into a permanent organization and officers
chosen to serve during the ensuing year.
An entire new staff of both collectors and
ushers was chosen for the next three
months, beginning with Sunday, October 4.
An entirely new plan has beenadopted
for the purpose of facilitating the proper
seating the congregation at all the services,
to go into force next Sunday. Hereafter
single admission tickets will be given at
the door to those not holding regular pew
tickets, and with the aid of an extra num
ber of experienced nshers it is expected
better order will follow in the distribution
ofseats. The new officers elected were:
31. J. Maxwell, President; George Dough
erty, "Vice President, and David J. Murphy,
Secretary.
An Kx-Slavo's Story.
An old colored man entered the Twelfth
ward police station last night, and asked
Sergeant Stix for lodging. He was ragged
and sick, and claimed that his home was in
Philadelphia. He said he had no parents
there, or relatives, and was without em
ployment. He arrived yesterday in this
city and said he could get work at the
Black Diamond Steel "Works. He gave his
name as George Thompson, aged CO years,
and his birtK place as Georgetown, "Viginia.
He said he had been a slave previous to the
war, and had fled to Philadelphia upon the
outbreak of hostilities. Sergeant Stix
granted him his request
Died of Ulslnjnrles.
"William Hamilton died at 5 o'clock last
ovening at the Allegheny General Hospital.
His death was the result of a fractured
skull produced by a fall from a pole at the
corner of Ohio and Federal streets last
Tuesday night white adjusting the electric
light wires on the line of the Allegheny
Traction Company. His home was on
Fraukstown avenue, East End, but he had
come here only a short time ago from New
Jersey. An inquest will be held by the
Coroner to-day.
Burrowing JJelow Heaver County,
The Citizens' National Gas Company for

"Woodlawn, Beaver county, has decided to
go down 2,500 or 3,000 feet and find out
what is below the 100 foot sand in Beaver
county. The strata in that county has never
been tasted below 1,500 feet.
Tliree'Boys Una Away From Ilomo.
Charles Cupps, a son of the restaurateur
on Fifth avenue near Atwood street, Oak

was accompanied by "William O'Donnell
and H. Trimble. From the restaurant
there was missing between ?80 and S120.
It was ascertained that they had purchased

Pianos Versus tho "Weather.
In many lines of trade the continued
heated term has been very discouraging, but
at Hamilton's, 91 and 93 Fifth avenue, any
kind of weather seems to suit them, as peo
ple will have music under all conditions of
temperature, and as they must have some
thing with which to make it they j'ust drop
into Hamilton's and supply thenfselvcs. It
is hard to say whether the large or small in
struments are most largely in demand at
this time, for there seems to be a run upon
them all. It is possible that there may be
strangers in town who do .not know "that
they must go to Hamilton's to procure
Decker Bros., Knabe, Fischer and other
Sianos, Estey, Farrand and Votey, Story &
lark, and Clough & AVarren organs. Mr.
Hamilton has also a full stock of everything
in the way of small musical instruments
which he will supply to you retail or whole
sale. This is to be the banner year in sales and
low prices, for first quality "goods will win.
Go to Hamilton's. Get his prices before
you buy elsewhere.

ST. JOffl, OF KANSAS
y?
Talks on a Considerably Variety of
Interesting Topics.
ON POLITICS AND PROHIBITION
He Discourses at Length, Giving the Cold
Water People's Views.
THE TAEIFJ? AS THEY WOULD HAVE IT
"John P. St. John, Kansas," in a large,
plain, bold hand, graces the register at
the Home Hotel. The ex-Governor of the
State where grasshoppers and prohibition
predominate, came into the city" yesterday
from "Waynesburg, where he had been
lecturing on.the temperance question. He
has been talking in various cities and towns
throughout Pennsylvania for the last three
weeks, and will continue the work, closing
his present series of engagements at York,
October 8.
Mr. St. John and a DISPATCH reporter
engaged in a pleasant chat yesterday after
noon, which lasted over an hour, during
which time the former expressed his views
on nearly all the important questions that
are uppermost in the minds of the people at
present, with the excepiion of the escape of
Fitzsimmons. He is the same ardent op
ponent of the liquor traffic that he has been
for the last ten years, and applies some pert
argument against it every now and then in
aH of his conversations. Asked for his
opinion on the proposed.lcgislative investi
gation in Pensylvania, Mr. St. John said:
A. GOOD WORD TOR PATTISOS'.
"Governor Pattison simply followed a
clearly defined line of duty when he issued
that call to convene the Senate. He did
exactly what any other Executive who has
any regard for honesty would have done. I
do not mean by that that I think there are
rascals in Pennsylvania. I am not well
enough acquainted with the officials of this
great Commonwealth to venture such an as
sertion. But there were murmurings and
insinuations, and Governor Pattison's
duty was to find out how much
cause there was for them. He had to call
the Senate together either before or after
the election so there can be no political sig
nificance attached to his action. He would
have been called a coward by the Demo
crats if he had put it off until after the
election, and in case the Democratic State
ticket is victorious, he would have been
charged with prejudice and spitefulness by
the Republicans.
"What do you think will be the result of
the election in Ohio?"
"Three weeks ago I felt sure McKinley
would bs elected. The Democrats seem to
be gaining, and I cannot tell how it will
go. McKinley is a warm friend of mine.
He has a good record, and I would like to
see him elected."
"How do the people of Kansas like the
McKinley bill?".
WOOL TOO CHEAP TO SUIT.
""We don't like it at all. In the first
place, the Republican party said to the
farmers during the last election, 'You stand
by us this time; we will raise the tariff on
wool, and you will get rich.' "Why, do you
know that the price of wool is lower to-day
than it has been lor seven or eight years,
and it has seldom been lower since 1832,
and the tariff is higher than it has been
since that time? I wish the Republican
party would tell me how the farmer will
get rich on that kind of a tariff I
suppose the Eepnblicans are right,
though, and some fine morning
Ave will wake up out in Kansas to discover
our farmers all living in brownstone fronts,
all because they stood by the Republican
party and thfe tariff on wool went up. In
1832 the duty was 4 cents and 40 per cent.
"Wool sold then at 63, 55 and 44 for fine,
medium and coarse qualities. In 1890 the
duty was 10 cents and wool sold for 32 cents,
The duty is 11 cents now and wool sells for
28 cents."
"How about the tin schedule?"
"Well, it isn't any better. I tell you
there isn't any protection except to a tew
who can make their millions at the expense
of the masses, who are the consumers. The
tin plate schedule is a humbug. It is true
that so far as making it possible for Ameri
can manufacturers to turn out tin plate, the
schedule is a success, hut look at the class
of people who do the work. Mr. Niedering
haus was one of the most ardent supporters
of the tin plate schedule, and he no sooner
gets the protection he wants than he sends
agents to "Wales for workmen to take the
places of American workmen.
PROHIBITIONISTS FOR PKOTECTIOX.
"There is no party in this country so
strongly in favor of protection as the Prohi
bition party. Other parties aim at protect
ing the pocketbooks aud the commercial and
industrial interests of capitalits, while our
party aims at protecting the brain and
muscle of the men who make capitalists."
"But .Mr. Niedringhans cannot import
workmen," suggested the reporter.
"He doesn't need to. Let any man make
it known that he wants men and you will
see how quickly they will be here. Mr.
If iedringhaus could not get men here and he
had to .wve them from somewhere. Besides
he is of Welsh descent himself, and I pre
sume he preferred his own people."
"AVhat is the Farmers' Alliance doing?"
was asked.
"The Farmers' Alliance is disintegrating
the old parties, just as the Knownothing
party did the two old parties in 1856. It is
serving the same purpose exactly, and it
is being reinforced by the facts developed
recently by the reports of the United States
Census Bureau."
"What effect do you think these reports
will have on Pennsylvania?"
"You won't get them here until after the
election, but you will have a reaction when
they do come. Pennsylvania will have
enough to do to look after the investigation
of State officials to allow anything else to
come in."
"Is there any probability of an affiliation
between the Prohibition party and Farmers'
Alliance:'"
TOO MANY T.IQUOR PARTIES.
"Well, there might be. Of course the
People's party is composed largely of
Farmers' Alliance people, but it is another
liquor party. We already had two liquor
parties, and for the life of me I cannot see
what the People's party wanted to have
anything to do with liquor. The Farmers'
Alliance comes closer to our style than any
other, and they are gradually coming over
to us."
"Are you keeping an eye on national pol
itics?" "I never lose sight of any phase of poli
tics, and if you mean to ask who will be
the next President I will say that it all de
pends on the Gubernatorial election in Ohio.
If McKinley is elected Governor he will
be the strongest man for President. Ho
would be a sure winner. If he is defeated
Ohio will be a doubtful State (it is one any
way), and the Republicans can.with the
same assurance ot victory, nominate anv
one of their candidates. I don't think
Harrison is in the fight at all.
At least he has no right in it.
Pattison is the strongest man the
Democrats have and if McKinley is de
feated, he is the man they ought to nomi
nate. You never can tell what is going to
happen in a State that gives 82,000 plural
ity for a Republican and two years later
rolls up nearly 15,000 for a Democrat. Pat
tison might carry Pennsylvania, and I al
ways count on New York" for the Demo
crats." "What are you going to do with Blaine?"
"Oh, yes, I forgot Blaine.. AVell, he is a
strong man, but he has not as clean a record
as McKinley. Ilehas been in politics too
long."
Ex-Governor St. John spoke in the TJ. P.
Church at Bellevue, last night to a large
audience. He is announced to sneak in
Carnegie Hall on Saturday night. He said
yesterday his subject would be, "The Rela
tion of the Government to the Liquor
Traffic and Other Legalized Bobberies."

Ono Dozen of tho Seir Daquesno Traction
Cars Arrived Testemlay.
One dozen of the new cars for the Dn

with Brussells carpet and finished in light

The company is using bnt 48 cars a day
now, and none of" their old ones have yet
been transferred to the Manchester line.
Another consignment of new cars will ar

IN A FILTHY CONDITION.
Residents of Edwards Alley Complain or
Heine Neglected.
A complaint is being made by the resi
defrts'along Edwards alley, between South
Twenty-eighth and South Thirtieth street,
that the sanitary condition of those two
blocks is being badly neglected. Within
the past three months, it is asserted that 17
children who lived along the 'alley, and
whose ages range fram a few days to 6 years,
have died from diseases almost directly
traceable to the filth in the neighborhood.
The attention of the Bureau of Health, it is
said, was called to the matter, but they neg
lected to thoroughly investigate the whole
place, and now things are worse than ever.
Of the 17 children that have died, the
deaths of six of the number took place dur
ing the past three weeks.
