THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE- FRIDAY, AUGUST 19. 1898. PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS THEY ISSUE AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OP THE STATE. Tka Pnlthlul Aro Invited to dive Serious Attention to tho Political Conditions That Confront the Tax payersBusiness Interests Tremble at the Assembling of tho Legis lature Harrlsburg. Aug. 18. A meeting of the executive committee of tho Demo cratic society of Pennsylvania was held at state Democratic headquarters this afternoon at which It was decided to hold the annual club convention nt "Wllkes-Barro Oct. IS. Kx-Lleutennnt Governor Cliauncey F. Black, of York, who has been president of the society since Its organization, announced that he would not accept a re-election on account of III health. Major John D. "Worman, of Philadelphia, secretary of the society, stated also that he would not be a candidate for re-election. The meeting was attended by George A. Jenks, the nominee for governor; State Ohalrman Carman and other active party leaders. Tho following address has been prepared by tho executive committee: We, tho undersigned executlvo com mittee of the Democratic society of Poun hylvanlu, Invite tho svrlous attention cf the pcopto of our stato to tho political condition, which confiont us and to the till Important matters at stake, In the ap proaching general election. It la charged on tho one sldo and con fessed on tho other, that every branch of our state government Is corrupt and cor rupting. The taxpayers and business In. torests tremble at tho assembling of tno legislature. They know not what new shame or fresh burden It will lay upon them, or what assault upon tho rights of the people or of the trunlclp.illUcs will be Introduced to bo bought off. or engineered to tlnal passage, to serve the purposes of predatory politicians. The executive is Mttle or no better. That here and there a veto his temporarily suspended an ob noxious measure until terms can be made among disputing ccnspirators toucnlng the distribution of the common spoils Is onl a fortunate accident In politics. Nothing In the recent history of the ex ecutive brand, effords any reason to sup pose that It has been Inspired by a high purpose to enforce In spirit and In letter the wise provisions of our sound consti tution, to check tho aggressions of ri lled corporations and political machines to guard and promote wholesome compe tition In bi slrcss, to shield ihe taxpayers from corrupt raids and oppressive Impo sition!:, or otherwise to stand Immovably for the prli clplcs of human liberty, ac cording to the solemn tenor of that oatn which each govcrror is required to take before entering upon the duties of his great office. CONDiTION NOT NEW, This condition of affairs Is not new, it has subsisted since the time when the memory of mist men runneth not to tho contrary. Hut It appears to bo worse now than heretofore. Long Impunity has emboldened aggression. Corrupt and scandalous transactions, which a quar ter of a century were concealed or denied nro today confessed and defended on the ground that unquestioned usage In tho past renders them legitimate ii, the pres ent or at least relieves them of n portion of the blackness of their Inherent fcullt. No ono concerned In them, nowadays, takes tho trouble to exter uute them. Bal ances of millions of tho taxpayers money are carried In the several funds of the treasury for tho premonlary benefit of anybody but the commonwealth. Appro priations of the gravest Importance re main unpaid until it suits tho convent, ence of the custodians of these funds to let them go to their proper legal object". Tho charities of wtnto suffer, the schools are compelled to borrow money at high rates, while tholr own money Is serving some other purpose. Wo cannot pursue the details of these nnd public like crim inals further at this time. Newspapers have spread them widely. All well In formed citizens know the facts and under, stands them. Tho political organization which Is brought to judgment In these premises simply says In effect we repre sent a bide bound partisan majority. What, therefore, are you going to do about It? We havo much reascn to fear that tlulr confidence l. only too well grounded, iti publlenn voters have borne nnd fore l.orre so long nnd so much that It is dll Jicult to foretell when, if eer. they will turn to rend tho oppressor and to end ihe shame of their party and of their Ftate. That a very large proportion of the Republican people of the state nro hcandallzed. humiliated and alarmed by the exesses committed In the name mil Into tho everlasting dishonor of their party Is biyend question. But Is the con Jldence of the guilty leaders In their un reasoning partlsanthlr well founded or Jll? NO RKLIKF AT HAND. If the latter, no lellef Is at hand. Ap peals to their self-respect and patriotism , to their love of state and even to their manifest self-lrtetest will be unavailing. We prefer, however, to btllevo that nil good citizens of whatever party are ready to join with us, Ignoring purely partisan questions In e,ne great fraternal effort for the redemption of tho state, the purg ing of its government, legislative and ex ecutive and a con plete reformation f official and public morals. Our conven tion, representing tho grent minority party of tho commonwealth, drew the Is sues clearly and definitely. No Intelli gent person can rrlstake them. Those who pretend to see In this canvass nny other real Issves than thoso state Issues presented by tho Altoona convention do not wish to see aright. If nny disturbing extraneous question shall be brought Into this campaign, the evil consequences will not bo objectlonnblo to the Demo cratic party with Its half million enlight ened voters who need only the co-opera-tlon of a fraction of their fellow citizens, ordinarily otherwise politically classified. Jn order to effect the radical change in state government, which all of tie prote.s to desire, and most of us do desire, above all things. Tho executive Is within easy reach of reform, If thoso who arc best known as reformers, shall show by their nets that they want reform, and so also promote and encourage an honest union of tho better citizenship everywhere for a pure and safe legislature. No true man, actually seeking genuine and vital re forms, can find a decent excuse for stand ing aloof. We, the Democratic party, nlonc, by reason of our numbers, can hnpa for success against the public enemy so long entrenched In power. We present the very issues and those only which all reformers profess to wish. Wo go further still In this direction than any of the groups of citizens who have organized os. tenslbly to put the commonwealth in lion est and faithful hands. We Join them n their general arraignment and ono the every separate count In the Indictment, but, unlike, th?m, we don not complicate tho momentous state Issues, that Is to tay, the reforms proposed to bo obtained, by any extraneous question whatever. Wo do also what none of them have yet done; we demand the reform comprehend lng all reforms, tn honest election law, a clean registry, a pure ballot and a fair count. Without hls the offices may change hands but there can be no permn. nent reform in any department of the government. It must be obvious to reasonable men that the only hope of sucreis against tha obnoxious regular nepubllcan tickets for state oftiees nnd tha legislature lies In the support of the Democratic citizens, which represent a body of voters, only less in numbers, than these represented by those on Republican tickets. Men who under theso circumstances throw away their EAGLE BBimB Condensed kMSLK. 8 IIAKB'NOSUDSTITUTC IjorVtTHE "EAGLE"BRAND J JTHOUSAHOS OF M0THER3 TESTIFy.TO ITS SUPERIORITY.- . & . I HOU5AN05 OF MOTHERS I &5TIFT..TO ITi OUPEHIUHIT Y.' Wa - inrjur ncfuiti scnrrticc; votes, must atibwor to their own con sciences. Whatever else good and admir able they may bo they aro not prnctlcal reformers. Such a waste or worse, of votes, whoso owners profess reform, to excuse can bo found In tho character of our candidates any more than In tho char. acter of our platform. In the high per sonal character, in Individual Integrity, in point of mental qualifications. It Is unex ceptionable. Ncvcc In the history of tho commonwealth has any party put In tho field a ticket superior to theser Important particulars. In George A. Jenks we oifv to the people n candidate of stainless rep utation, of great nhllltles, nnd of largo experience, ono who Iihh been tried in many great trusts nnd fHlled In none. Ho Is the peer In nil respects of any man who ever stood for the ofllco of governor In this commonwealth. He Is the very type nnd perfect representative of our best people. The man who Is too good to vote for George A. Jenks will find no congenial refuge for his perullnr kind of patriotism outsldo the hallowed tcmplo of regular machine politics. Wo confidently ask tho suffrage of nil good men for the Democratic stato and leglslatlvo candidates, assured that whether elected or defeated, they will bi tray no trust, violate no pledge, nnd re flect no dishonor upon thoso who have patriotically eupportert them. If our state shall be further degraded, harried nnd plundered, ns In tho Immediate past, the responsibility for those condltons will lie elsewhere than at the door of tho Dm ocratlc party, CONVENTION CALL.

The reaction In prices of Blocks which had been looked for for several days came In the late trading today. Tho professional trad ers have been eagerly anticipating this action of the market and have several times sought to bring It about by at tacking stocks with short sales. They opened tholr guns this morning with an onslaught on tobacco, People's Gas and Brooklyn Bnpld Transit. Although this assault came with very heavy realizing offers In the grangers nnd Pnclllcs and some other recent favor ites the outside demand for stocks was so enormous as to take the market away from the professionals and lift prices upwards In furiously active and very widely distributed trading. But there came a time later In the day when tho outside domondwasforatlmo satisfied and when the recent pur chasers of stocks were still anxious to take the handsome prollts accrued up on them. Tho bears kept nibbling at the list and made an aggressive attack In the last hour which carried prices down sufficiently to wipe out weak margins and bring out stop loss or ders. Tho list fell generally below last night's level. Tho bull clique apparent ly offered no resistance to the decline but support was forthcoming before It had proceeded to nny great length. The activity of the market greatly de creased and the volume of business was materially smaller than yesterday. The total sales were 6S4.100 shares.
