of Ids remarks lie .Maid:
"Where Is the man or woman in this
vast corn-nurse who lias not felt the hard
times, where is the inert-hunt who has
not seen his stock shrink upon his

not seen his securities diminish. And
why all this? Simply that some gontli--inen

In a K'ood profit: We have seen times

savings have been exhausted and many
families how anxiously await the enm
1i'K' of the snows this winter without
knowing If they shall be comfortably

"Now my fellow countrymen, you will

Philadelphia. Nov. 5. Keptibllcan
State Chairman J!. 1-'. CilKeson when
asked today what the Hepuhlicun pros
pects of success in the mate election
are. replied:
"I believe thnt our majority of the
state ticket will reach jtio.000 at least.
Philadelphia and Allegheny counties
will show an unprecedented majority
by fall. In the? rest of the Btate the He
publican organization is In the- best
condition it has been for many years.
The only thins that we have to fear
nt nil as affecting; our majority Is a pos
sible indifference upon the part of Ue
pnblican voters as to th necessity of
going to the polls on next Tuesday. I,
however, do not have much fear of
'his since the reports us they come to
me from our county chairmen, as will
as from other sources, indicate that the
people are all anxious to vote and that
there will be few, if any, stay at homes
this election.
"I believe that we will carry every
congressional district with the excep
tion of three, and In thi e three we
have a fighting chance.' Viie Indica
tions are that the state senate and the
house of representatives will be more
nearly unanimous than ever In the his
tory of Pennsylvania."

A l.'evolting Story.
A story revolting in its details fol
lowed. Mrs. Herromanu told how th-
young woman, Yacttue, was treated in
the house kept by her mother. "I wrote
to the police, to Captain Hauglicy, and
begged them to get (lie young girl away.
My sUU-r was paying Petterinau,
Captain llaughuy's wardman, $1"i a
week. He refused to take my niece
away. He threatened to send me to
prison for five years if I did not leave
my sister alone. I threatened to go and
shoot my niece."
Toward the close of her testimony
her memory began to fall, but when
pressed she declared there was one po
lice captain she desired to save.
She testified that she had cleared
from $1,000 to $l,."oo a month from her
business, but now she did not have as
much as $1,000. She had paid out large
amounts, aggregating $:'.0,0U0, to police
to protect her business. She further
testified that she was sent uwuy from
New York by the police who bad ac
cepted bribes from her. The witness
then said that money was offered to her
to go awny, and sho said she only
1 wanted her expenses.
"I asked the ge ntleman if Captains
j Haughery nnd Bropan were in it, and
he said they were. I asked If Captain
j Ryan was In It. and he said yes."
"Xow you got that $1,700 lii order
not to appear before the Lexow com
mission?" "Yes, sir, I did."
"You met a lot of old friends in Chl-
oago?"
I "Yes, they are there from all over
! New York."
"Waiting for the Lexow committee to
: get through?"
i "Yes, sir."
I "Who employed Mr. Daly, of Jersey
City, to keep you over there?"
"I do not know."
"Did you give him any money?"
"He said If I gave him $uOO. he would
get me out on bull. 1 did not give any
money to him."

THE W0RKIGMAS FRIEND.
I'.xeeptions to the Cluiin of Senatorial
Candidate Al. L. McUonuld-Story of a
W est Side Aliuer.
It will interest Luekuwaniia, crmnty
voters und particularly laboring n.on t )
consider the following story which
chielly concerns Michael K. McDonald,
t tie Democratic candidate for senator,
und James F. Butler, a hard-working
miner who lives at 242S Jackson street.
The facts were volunteered by Mr. But
ler, who will soon Institute proceedings
against Mr. McDonald and the Ameri
can Safety Lump and Mine Supply com
pany to recovorhlsfHutler'B.) complete In
terest in a mine drill, of which he is the
patentee.
Contracts and other documents were
produced to substantiate tho honest
miner's story, which shows how he hus
been prevented from receiving any re
muneration from his patent and lias
been compelled to spend considerable
money In a hopeless endeavor to have
it brought to public notice. Mr. Butler
said:
"I am a practical miner, but I am now
loading coal for a living in the Conti
nental mines as a result of mistaken
confidence In Senator McDonald. My
experience with him has not been such
as will bear him out In his frequent as
sertions of lute that he Is the 'friend of
the workingmaji.' He has been the
means of depriving me of many months
of fruitful labor and 1 believe him capa
ble of misleading the hopes of others,
Jtutlcr (Ibtiiined a Patent.
'in January, lhJV.i, I secured a patent
ou a mine drill and in October of that
year made a contract with him as presi
dent of the American Safety Lamp and
Aline Supply company to manufacture
the article, and under the agreement
the contract was to hold good unless
notice to the contrary was given by the
company. 1 was to huve, control of the
sules and was to receive 25 per cent,
commission and lit per cent royalty;
the company was to receive $0 for cacli
drill manufactured lu addition to the
60 per cent, of sales' funds.
"1 condemned the first drill made,
which was not 'perfect and workman
like' according to a clause. In our con
tract. .When I wanted to take a drill
into the mines for a practical test, Mr.
McDonald refused me permission un
less I paid for the drill. 1 tried in vari
ous ways to secure a drill for trial but
he put me oft at intervals of weeks und
months until I was heartily discour
aged. Finally it was suggested that
the sales privilege be given to n certain
machinery supply firm in tills city. I
consented and signed a contract giv
ing the sales firm 25 per cent, and re
serving 5 per cent, for myself. After
signing the contract I was refused a
copy und have not ohtulned one since. -
"A few months ugo .Mr. McDonald
agreed to reliiuiulsh his company's In
terest if 1 would secure other parties
to interest themselves iu tho matter. T
spent considerable money und time in
doing this and then Mr. McDonald re
fused to withdraw.
. "The firm which has had the sales
j privilege has sold only a comparatively
j small number of drills. I feel satisfied
) that the whole history ot tho case has
j been dragged along for tho purpose of
j compelling me to sell my interest for a
song.
"1 tedd Mr. McDonald Several months
ago that he had treated mo unfairly
I but he made further avowals of good
j faith and I foolishly believed him.
j Aside from any political bearing of the
story It Is a simple evidence that he
will treat others as he has treuted me."
