following stieoch :
Fe'.luvr ciazi'ns. I Jc t-o thanfc yea for

Into a prominen.-a not in accord wtti my
habit in politiciil affairs. I r.eoept tbe re-ppon-sibility,
together with the hon.-r, of
-eiiin;f over this meeting because I ap
prove its rhject.
Due of the most important duties t-o be
performed br the U;..-Jatur? of Penn
sylvania at its session whirh is to legin
two weeks from to-day is the elect i- n of
a man to succw-d Mr. Cameron as a re
presentative of this grat stsxla io the
United States senute.
It, is conceded that this new senator
shall be a i'tuladelphuin, and though we
as citizens ennot vous elirectly for any
one. having transmitted our rights in this
rejitH-t m the K-nntorsand rejHvsentatfves
wh:n wesetit to the legislature, we retain
the riifht to cipt-jo our opinions outicern
i'ic the canu:dat-s in uny orderly manner
t!iat jiieases us We have chosen to come
t (jrother thiseveuiag, so to express onr
e.'!ve. We all tnov that the wis and diligent
Irf.;r:n:ine of duty as a United States
itenaior requires preat natural al ility.
F ipi li'im-iuod ly adeiiidte tr;iinin2 and
willingness to labor. 1 he full powers of
many of the prwt-st men th.it our coun
try has pnxiu-.l have Ix-an t.-.x"tl to their
utmost in the forum of th' United States
annate. The f . II pr.vers of our wisest and
besj are now demanded, and are not more
than su:!i.-;ent for properly rerres.'ntina
tura!ate in 'ha; preat arena. Yet we all
believe that ourciry possesss. net one man
only, but scveml im-a to whom we could
K.f -ly commit the interests of our st.ite in
the uebutoand struggles that are to occur
there.
We have men whose inteliivt can cmsp
the problems that must come liefore the
lienare, men whose training in the lejral
profession or !n business aJairs has pre-wir-d
them to jule those problems cor
rectly, whise experience perhaps in le-lslv.i.-n
has educated them to the ro itine
of legislative hodier and. to ready perform
ance of the functions devidviuj: upon the
members f Mich a Uueiy: men also whose
fciuh chanicter, pjod judgment and all
round common sense command the
p.-ct and co nil lence of their fellow citi
zens. They are not nua.erous, but th.-y
rxUt.
Tv.o Candidate.
At this moment, however, only two can
didates from Philadelphia are in th.! Hold,
midas no others are likely to anp?.-irno
t'ners need now l-e dis' uss.'il- Tilio two
i:re. as you well know. John Wanaii aker
r-iid iJoies Pi !iroe- We h-e the ri.'ht to
c. Dj-ider them dispassionately, we'jrhinjr
the merits of e:sch. and declaring our
preference, without fear or favor, for the
one ho tenuis to us best Utted for the
place.
Let us otisi It first him who has been
most n-siduoCs'y pat forwjird: namely,
John Wanamukcr.
Mr. Wanamaker is a man of remarkable
nbility, who has by his own sagacity and
tliliii-nce attained wealth, who has shown
unusual oraniz n? jmwer in his own ex
tendid bu-iness. and who has creditably
Llievl the imixirtant executive olli of
p s! master jreneral. He h;is ovt-come
iiiur.y olst.-ieks, has found means to no
comolish many dillieult things has ac
cuir"d the art of causing numerous sub
ordinates to do punctually their s-veral
p.r!s in complicated allairs to effed m de
t.rd pur;se.
Oa the other hand it may he said that
the masterful temperament thit is Stted
to rule subordinates mirht fail to brinj
a'.iout the corJi.il co-operation of equals
that i m-eded in legislation. It seems
cert.iintliat his ext'nsive business would
tlemund most of his time, so that the
state could have the advantage of but a
remnant of his energies. You will re
memiter that in the Girard will case the
preat Daniel Web.Ser. clevotinjr but a
1 raction of his time to this famous cause,
wa defeated by the unremitting care of
Hor"0 Ilinuey. then a comparatively un
known youni lawyer.
il ore i;iiix.rt.inl than these is, to my
mind, the otjeriion that Mr. Wanam.iker
is t!:e iaTfiest imorierof f oreijru poinls in
this sane, one of tiij larje-1 iiuoortcrs in
the nation; that in the course of his
normous busine.-.s fc has frequent cou
llicts in the courts with the collectors of
customs, and that as senator he must par
ticipate in tarnfh'rrislarion. that he wjuld,
jieroas virtu v!y nominate the collector
at Phil:idelvhia, and mi-ht even inllueuce
the appointment at New Yorlc 1; seems
t'j me unsuit.i:'.e that a man so situated
sh-iuld tie United States senator.
Kin.tlly, to imvt the assertion that Mr.
WaaamatiT is the choice of the business
men of the state, 1 must be allowed to re
mnrk that tins meetinT may well cause
tl.iuot nt the unanimity of this choice.
Mr. Penrose, it may be at once conceded,
lacks s-Hue of the salient i'ialuies of Mr.
Wanamaker. He has not Invn victorious
overa hot of fo-.-bler ruiiiN-titors in the
fririie of trade, nor reached i he commercial
eminence of his rival. He has not organ
l.ed great sue vssfal eslaldishments for
buying and selling, nor attained such
wealth as Mr. Wanamaker's. He is no
merchant prince. He has held no preat ex
ecutive office. What then are the merits
that qualify him for this high oihee of
United States senator.
Pirst, it is. I think, a distinct advantage
that he is not oniy ennsse-l by commer
cial business, and also that he is not en
cumbered by preat weallh. It suiliets that
he has known how to manape his affairs
and those of his clients, and that his
means are adequate to free him from
small cares.

Crpmnilatln Ti. O. Kecfrr Tell nw
J. B. MrredltU Trlsd to Bribe Him
to Vote Tor John Wanamaker.
Pitt-ibnr Dispatch, D-e. It
W. II. Thomas, of ConnellsvUle, has
now had several weeks In which to reply
to the general denial of tha Westmoreland
legislator to his remark made to Clark T.
Baldwin, thst two of the delegation had
been "fixed" for Wanamaker, and th
other two would be secured furthoQuaket
Importer. The assemblymen condud
that Thomas prefers the policy of silence,
and would much rather that the matter
Tie dropped.
B. O. Keefer, one of the representatlTis
rlect, however, is not of Thomas' w.ay of
thinking. He was anpniu-hel by one
Meredith and ollered f'S before he wa
nominated to vote for Wanamaker. Mr.
Keefer is smarting under tha aspersion
cast upon the Westmoreland delegation by
th.- voluble Thomas, and when the font
mcmliers met to answer the ConnellsvilU
man he had prepared a sharp and vigorous
statement, bat was overruled by' his ool
leafraes. who were content for the time be
ing; with a peneral denial.
It developed at the meeting that three
of the assemblymen had been visited by
apents. Mr. Keefer was far from satisfied
with the lie direct that was hurled intc
Thomas' teeth, and. bavinp waited a rea
sonable lenpth of time, he feels he owes it
to the public and himself to toll of the at
tempt to bribe him. He issued the follow
inp sipned statement yesterday:
Mr. Kefrr Iusi m statement.
Owlnp to various reports which have
been publishsi in tha Pittsburg news
papers relatjn t3 the bribery and at
tetntitej brilx-ry of membr of the le iris
latjre from Fayette and Westmoreland
counties I wish to make a personal state
ment of the matter so far as it relates to
ma. Durlntr the latter part of March,
lv."i. a pentleman, who pave his name a
J. B. Meiedith. called at the treasurer's
oSiee in Gre-nsburj and asked for a pri
vate view wirh me. I pranted it, when he
tsked me if I were not a candidate for the
lep;-!ature. I told him I was.
He then said that ''he thoupht they
would !e iu a position to help me" Not
knowing at that time what he meant I
KiMt "I would hi plai for any help I
could (ret," when he said ho would see me
Liter.
la a few days he called apain, but I was
not in t!v; oiiic A short time afterward
he telephoned mo from Pittsburg one
morning to meet him that eveninp at the
Union depot. I consulted a friend, who
advise J me ti po and sea what he wanted.
I then telephoned hrm that I would meet
hi:a that evening in the Union depot.
I went to Pittsburg that eveninp, and
found him waitinp for me. He said: "1
sups you want to know what I colled
you here for?"' I replied that I did. He
said: "They wanted to help me ia my
nomination, and if I would promise one
thing he would pive me to pay iny
elit tion expenses."
1 asked him what he wanted me to prom
ise to do and he said : "To vote for the
t.aa we name for the United States sen
ate." I told him that I wotiM not prom
ise to vote for a lut.a for Unite.! States
senator whose name I iid not even know,
lie then a-ked lna what I thotiitht of John
Wuiiamaker. I said: "I do not know
much about Mr. Wanamaker; that he
was probably a very pood man, but I
could not consider his proposition; that
If I were nominated and elected 1 would
h ive an oath to take ut Harrisliurp and 1
did not propose to commit perjury or ac
cept a Lrils?."
Ho replied, saytntr that if I took such a
serious view of it we would drop the mat
ter. Since that time I have not been ap
proached by any one with an oiler of
money to vote for any candidate for
United States senator. B. O. Keeteb.
Will Swear to tbe Expose.
Mr. K jfcr is ready to make oith ta the
above statement at any time. For several
days he has been ill at his home, which is
1 ated a'o;it four miles in th country
from Irwin station. Tha nearest justice of
the peace is a m;l away, so und?r the cir
cumstances Mr. Keefer was unable to put
his ret ilal in the form of an atliduvit
It dues not app.-ar who Meredith is or
where he Itves. but it is known he has
had considerable business to transact for
the last year with the Westmoreland
county coiumissione-s. It is said a firm
which he represents has lieea doing con
tract work for the county. Mr. Keefer
understands that Meredith lives in Frank
lin county. While he never saw Mere
dith before he triel to bribo him, Keefer
says he would recopnize him anywhere.
Since March he had not seea Meredith
until about four weeks ago, when he
noticed him sitting ia tho commissioners'
cilice. They mutually nodded, but did
not exchange t word. Mr. Keefer said
he did not care to know him.
Country Treasurer S,imm says he re
members Meredith, lie called at the oSiee
last March inquiring for Mr. Keefer, who
v.-as not iu. Hj np;arirei tha next day,
but Reefer was still abs?nt Then he pre
sented his card to the treasurer and said:
"Keefer doesn't know me and I never saw
him. but 1 wish you would pive h!m my
card, and tell him that 1 will call him by
telephone sometime in the near future."
Mr. Samm said Keefer consulted him
aliouteoing to Pittsonrg to see Meredith
when ttie latter telephoned. Mr. Samm
replied that there couli Le no harm in see
ing what he wanted, and he advised Keefer
to meet hiia.
As to Meredith' Ii'.rntity.
Meredith is supposed to lie one of the
"Business" leapu-rs and. having work in
the county, undertook to do a turn for
Wanamakcr. There is a certain county
in the state where an alleged Wanamaker
agent camped down and opened an Insur
ance and real estate shop. Oae . the
Westmoreland representatives coul l tell
of a meeting he h:ul at the Logan House
with K. A. Van Valkenburg.bat he would
rather not talk about it unless Thomas
should "blab"' further. The legislator
went to Alloona under the impression he
was to meet a committee to draft a bill.
Feeiine that something was necessary
to stem the strong tide toward Penrose,
the Wanamaker people sent out the claim
that the (juaker would lie nominated.
This is considered a stiff bluff to lilster
a falling cans. The bx al combiners take
no slocK in the claims of the Wanamaker
crowd, and they till the (Junyites with
merriment.
Wanamaker will bt wiser man r.for
Jan. ly. and the numivr of promises
broken is liable to make him lose faith ia
humanity. Those who are familiar with
the state cannot ficrure how Wanamaker
will pet more than from 4"i to .V voles. A
week ago Senator Penrose said he was
saiisfled that Wanamaker could not at
best Ssvure the support of sixty legislators.

lx-lieve the citizens of our county do not

that they do want a man who will be la

A QUEER EPITAPH.
Xa Memory of Two Koys Who Thought
Tli i' j Ate Mushroom.
Piscataway is f a:e e.f the oldest towns
in New Jersey. It was founded in 1CC6
and was intended to 1 the capital of
the colony, but it did not grow, while
-its riralsj Xew Brunswick, Kahway and
lizabrth, became thriving villages. At
present there is little to interest the cas
ual visiter to the f leepy village, but that
little is good cf its kind.
There is old Mr. Muudy, the village
wheelwright, wbo at fcO is still a fine
hot with gnn or rifle. Twenty-five
vcars ago he acce.nipuuied a New icrk
merchant on a hunting trip to the far
west, and since then not a year has
passed without their taking a hunting
trip to the west or south. Old as these
cronies are, they cannot make np their
minds to forego their hunting. Then
there is the old cider mill whose ram
shackle appearance belies tbe purity and
strength of the applejack renting in its
dark cellar. Finally, there is the ceme
tery cf the eld Kpiscopal church, the
Crst house of worship erected in the
place. In resjKinse to inquiries the other
day the . ston, who holds also the offices
f gravedigger and rcadmaster said :
"Well, there might be semie interest

there mightn't. They don't iutere-st me.
There is one eild brown stone which has
fallen down and is out of place. I want
ed to throw it away, but the minister
wouldn't let me. That might be inter
esting to you."
"Is there any inscription on it?"
"Xo, there isn't. It is just covered
with words frrm top to bottom no
poetry, no nothing just words.
The stone was found easily, although
partly overgrown with mass and myrtle.

Half Kaffir, Half Euzlinhmaa.
If, as is sometimes held, though we
ourselves are very strongly ftf the op;o
eite opinion, tha Hottentots and Eu-h-men
of South Africa are not human
creatures cangbt in the very act of de
veloping from lower forms, but are the
result of degem-ration from seiwe higher
type, then the creature resulting from a
cross between tho two might revert to
the higher typo and be of higher sorial
feeling and intellectual power th;iu
either. Wo have ourselves in only ere
instance met an individual who was a
cross between tho English and KafT.r
races, though we know that several such
exist in South Africa. This man vas
certainly merely a cetraposite of the two
races, without any tendency to rever
sion. Uo was tbe son of an English gen
tleman; his mother was a Kaffir woman
who had not been draggled under the
feet of civilization.
The man was proud, determined, reso
lute. Self educated, he raise d himself
to a post of high trust under the Eng
lish government Ho combined the dash
and courage of the Kaffir with the pride
and intelligence of the Englishman.
He had the fault, which is common to
both his parent races, ct being cruel
and indomitable when opposed, but cf
the vices supposed to bo inseparable
from half castisui servility and insin
cerity he had not a trace. He was a
man and a gentleman. But whether if
such crosses were common such men
would often arise is quite another ques
tion. Fortnightly Review.
I'atsy Took It liilin.
Patsy had been in the c ountry only a
few days and had not recovered from
the effects of his ocean voyage. He
complained of a headache, and his sym
pathetic aunt finally decided to give
him a Seidlitz peiwoer. She got two
glasses and put the contents cf tbe blue
packago into one and emptied tho white
package into the other.
"Now, you hold your mouth open,"
said his aurt, holding the glasses, one
in each hand.
Young Patsy opened a spacious cav
era, displaying two fine rows of molurs,
and, with a dexterous motion, his aaut
mixed the contents of both glasses and
poured the Seidlitz powder into his face.
He spluttered and conghtd atid ran
about the room.
"Well, how did you like it?" asked
his aunt smilingly when he had recov

"I wudn't ha' minded it so much if
