The claim uf the JJemociatlc mean
that Petiiilot ValiBluin will not be re
elected represents only Its wishes: It
Is not based on ci edible information.
Senator Vnughan dining the four yeais
of his setvltc In the state senute lias
been diligent, vigilant and effective In
his saffguatdianshlp of the Intel ests

low The picsldent of Dickinson col
lege knows the Prohibition candidate
foi goveinoi well. They have been
closely brought together In l elisions
and educational work-and tho opinion
of tho one cancel nlng the other Is that
ut an Intelligent and fair-minded Judge.
Di. Keed fieely credits Di Swallow
with honest Intentions anil slneeiltv
but syn with due personal tespect
that Swallow "lacks the nbllltv to see
things in their laigei lolatlons" That
is, he n'ci things fiom a lestrleted
standpoint and unconsciously exagger
ates minor featutes. He Is a ildei of
hobbles; not long ago the only Hsu
he could see In public nlfaiis which Im
piessed him as woith considering was
the Issue of Piohlbitlon In the thlid
p.uty sense. lie would not discuss
nnvthing else. wc that time Piohl
bitlon has not been enacted Into law ;
it Is tlierefoie Just as much nn issue, as
it ever was, jet tod.iv Di. Swallow
never mentions Piohlbitlon: all his at
tention Is icnteiert upon his new hnhhv
that everybody in politics excepting
himself Is plotting to .oot the (uminon
wealth. An example of his engei tied
ullty to believe things which are not
so Is shown In his latest mate's nest
discovery that Oaiman and Quay have
( oncluded a deal lo sell Jenks out. The
intoi motion earne in totind about fash
ion by hcaisny on the sttength of the
tittle Initio of a cllseiedltcd tiavellug
man, yet Di. Swallow Immediately be
lieved It and Inn led it. with Hit I ti trim
mings. Into tho political arena as a
firebrand of funded gieat ilesttuctlve
ness. its eifect has been simply to ex
pose his own sensitiveness to sensa
tions.
Ot Di. Swallow's sinceilty thoie is
no question, his peisonnl honesty 1ms
not been impugned, in his ptoper place
no doubt he possesses much power for
good. As a public piosecutor, however,
It is clear from the experiences which
he has alreadv had In this tole that
he lacks the nblllty to sepaiate gossip
and suspicion fiom fncl. that he Is not
n catetul, cool and impaitlal weigher
of evidence, but an enthusiast who
makes rash leaps at unsound conclu
sions. If elected governor he would be
In hot water all the time and would as
often be a Don Quixote tin listing his
huiet into windmills as a lynx-eyed
Vldoui skilfully timavcllng tho tangled
tin eads of inti igue and Jobbei y. With
out nuv ltfeience to the btoad political
Homing or tills, coming election it must
be clear to all thoughtful men that Dr.
Swallow for governor Is a poisonai im
possibllll) Among 4 he few neonate things that
John Wnnamaker said while in this

Two Views by Outsidets.
Th.' Plttsbnig Dispatch P n m1,,.
pendent newspaper which Is supporting
.lenks for governor, but It dlftcrs from
Hon. John Wannmnker in not wanting
to defeat Hopublkan congressmen. Its
Washington conespondnnt, Mr. Llght
ner, icvlewing the state congressional
situation, tweaks thus of the Eleventh
dlbtiict.
' It is a matter for geneial rongiatu
lalinn among Hepubllcans that whoever
else may be defeated there is believed'
to be no loophole bv which tho Demo
ciatle opwmont of Congiessman Wll
Ham Oonnell, of Scianton.can creep Inl
to a seat In congress. Although Council
Is not an otatin theie are few men In
the piesent house whose opinion Is
more vnlii'd than his. He s jiossesseet
of a wonderfully ih judgment and
an adamantine common sense which
have saved committees nnd Individual
congressmen fiom making fools of
themselves on manv an occasion. He
Is a business man In the best sense of
the wmd. He is a business man whose
vision Is not bounded by the dollais of
profit that i oil Into bis strong box Ills
views ate broad and tine. It Is deeply
regrettable that a few lawyers, of
whom congress has nn abundance, can
not be exchanged for a few such busi
ness men."
These words ato perhaps too flatter
ing, especially after the picture drawn
on Monday night by the unctuous self
invited critic from Philadelphia, yet It
Is a Judgment expressed without bins
by one whose position has caused him
to scrutinize congiesslonnl work close
ly nnd to be a Judge of its quality.

ever since While he will no oonbt re
nlve the votis of some Hcpubulcans who
labor nutlet tho delusion they aic pun
ishing some obnoxious men in their own
partv bv voting for Swallow, It Is more
than certain nl this writing that thcli
mistaken effoits will only result in reduc
ing the legular Republican vote, with
out electing Swallow or defeating Colonel
Stone. In other wends, the will cast a
useless ballot. In all candor we ay heie
and now to sncli men. and to all otheis,
thnt this man Swallow 1ms not the ghost
of a chance ot lu'comlng the next gov
ernor of Pennsylvania Wo say, further,
that he Is gi owing weaker every day, and
that he will not poll as manv votes on
election day, bv many thousands, as he
would liavo done two weeks ago had Hie
eleitlon been held then
o
The contest has, therefoie, settled down
to a ttlal of strength between the Re
publican and Demociatlc candidates. Wc
believe the Demociats ale stionger at
this hour than at nuv ether tlmo since the
campaign began Thcv have seen the
necessity of setting aside their qtiotrels
for the picstnt and presenting all the
force they can for their mun Jenks. Hut
they me. today, as thcv have been for
yeais, hi a hopeless, helpless mlnorltv,
and thev have no moie expectation or
hope of electing theli candidate than they
have of a shower of loasted quail n
election dav. They aie trying to make
dupes of the Swallow men and tho tew
dlssatlslled Hepubllcans by persuading
them that tin ir only wnv of making their
votes effective Is lo cast them for their
man Jenks. They may succeed with a
few, but thcce will not change the lesult.
Jcnks. like Swallow will lie beaten by a
largi m.ijoi it .
-o
That Is a tab mid cuudid lexlew of tho
situation one week befoie the election.
We know what we are talking about
when we say that thiee-fourths ot all the
eai Her dissatisfied Republicans have
nbandonid their contemplated course of
either voting for Swallo.v or remaining
away fiom the polls, and will now glxo
the full Republican ticket theli hearty
suppoit. I'pon sober icflectlon they havo
concluded that Heir own party is quite
as honest and able as cither the Popu
lists or Democrats, and, therefore, noth
ing intild be gained by casting n useless
billot for either of them. They do not
believe with John Wanamakci that the
way to puilfy a political party Is to wreck
mid destiON It. They also begin to ree
that John vvniiamaker Is the main fta
tuto in John Wamimakrrs canvass, and
thej do not feci a special rail to pull John
Wanainakei's chestnuts out of tho fire tor
John Wanamakci 's exclusive use and
benefit. That is why the Hehulicans will
hold to their party allegiance. They bco
they cannot vote against that party's
candidates und yet be fab, honest Repub
licans. They believe In the futuio of tho
party. Its past Is a sotitce of ptiae ana
satisfaction to them.
o
That is whv they will go to the polls on
Tuesday, Novembei S. ann east their bal
lots for the straight Republican ticket

STAND BY THE PRESIDENT.
Prom the Washington Star,
The piesldent's appeal for unity until
terms of permanent pence have been ar
ranged with Spain Is made, with forco and
dignity. His argument Is clear and un
assailable. All that has been accom
plished In war represents united action,
and the whole country shares In the
gloty of tho achievement. Hut the fruits
of victory have yet to bo garnered unless
the coimtiy continues to present a united
front to the outside world. If In tho
midst of our negotiations at Paris local
divisions hero at home shall go to such
an extreme as to represent to foreigners
an Inability on our part to grasp, or an
unwillingness to undertake, plain nation
al duty the country will suffer as Hie le
sull or It.
o
The situation Is not only dlflleult, but
entirely new. The people have not been
called upon heictofore to deal with such
a question. We try our local cases in
open local courts, and wc understand nnd
make tho ptoper allowances for heated
controversies and tho acitmony of warm
pnttlsnuship Rut we are now In the
open court of the world, with a case of
world-wide Interest, nnd we cannot with
safety appear there except In agreement
umong ourselves nnd In earnest advocacy
of one supreme end We cannot assail
the administration or discredit our repre
sentatives at Paris without liifUctliig an
Injury on the whole country
u
11 is no propel answer to aei use Hit
president of selfishness in this appeal, to
say that ho makes it because he will
benefit by united action. Ho Is the coun
try's chief magistrate and stands foi the
country. He is complimented upon his
conduct of the war, and deservedly. He
has benefited by that. lie Is entitled to
whatever praise he merits while oecuny
Ing an ofilce to which ho lias lit en elevat
ed by the majority of the people. If the
wai li-id proved disastrous to the Putted
States it would have proved disastrous
also to him Ho would have been held
responsible for the full failure recorded.
It Is but fair, therefore, that he now
enjoys cicdlt for the conduct of the sub
stantial and brilliant triumphs of the
war with Spain.
o
As was said nl tho outset, the question
Is entirely new. We have not dealt with
Its like at any tlmo In our history Hut.
nevertheless, tho duty of the hour Is
plain enough, nnd the president points It
out with becoming and sufficient force
THE LEGISLATURE.
Kiom the Philadelphia Imuiltcr
They tell us the last leglslatuie was ex
travagant and corrupt, henco it ought to

these X might have been open to corrup
