Sood Reasons Why the Republican Candi date Should Be Elected and His Opponents Defeated. Philadelphia. Oct. 21. Before an au dience which crowded the Academy of Music thia evening former Attorney tler.eral Palmer tald: The governor of a great state like Pennsylvania ought to be a capable, truthful and honest man. In the past Pennsylvania has been In j the habit of selecting her governors fom her ablest and most conservative citizens. In my recollection the place has lieen filled by many such: Johnson. Uisler. Poll.xlc Packer, Curtin, Geary. Hartranft. Hoyt, PatUson, Beaver and Hastings. They were all honorable men: some of them able lawyers, some brave sol diers; all of them high minded, capable ami honest. The custom of putting such men in the governor's chair ought not to be abandoned. THE CANDIDATES. lt us see how the men who now ask the people for their suffrage compare with those who have gone before. First Let us consider the qualifica tions and claims of the candidate of the Democratic party the Hon. George A. Jenks. of Jefferson. I have known him long, and believe him to be both capable and honest. He is an able law yer, a man of wide experience, and. left to his own devices, would give the state a good administration. The ob jection to him lies In the fact that h is the candidate of a rarty that advo cates principles and policies h .stile to the best interests of the people. I am not sure that if the state were turned over to Mr. Jenks and the Democratic- party, as now managed and controlled, that any improvement would be made in the management of the state offices. If anything Is wrong. The capacity of our friends, the ene my, to help themselves whenever they have an opportunity, has been demon strated very often. I am not sure that if all he says of Quay and Quayism were true that a transfer of lower to (Juffey and Company would be an Im provement. The Altoona convention, at which he was nominated, was the most thoroughly lossed convention that ever assembled. The election of Mr. Jenks would, in the estimation of very conservative pe pie, be a calamity of national signifi cance, inasmuch as it would give tae friends of Tree silver such encourage ment to renew their warfare on sound money and protection to American In dustry, that it surety would be necces sary to fight the battle again in the next presidential election. The san guine believe that they could be whip ped again, but all agTee that the cost of the fight in disturbed business rela tions and paralyzed Industry would be enormous. The conclusion aa to him must be that while he nil! the bill In respect to character and ability that 'should be expected In a governor of a great state, that his election would cost a price that the people could not afford to pay. One of the reinforcements that the Griffin combine has been able to secure is the Hon. John Wanamaker. Having been in the past affiliated with the Re publican party, and having enjoyed Its highest honors. Is now employed In furnishing Chinese stink pots for the Democracy for use on the Republican hosts. He pretends to be waging a cru sade in the Interest of purity and re form. He Is pretending to ask Repub licans to purge the legislature for the purpose of defeating Senator Quay and electing John Wanamaker. but If he Is advocating the election of any Re publican congressman or any Republi can state officer ft has not appeared In his public speeches. He was a candidate before the con vention for the office of governor. When he failed to be nrwninated. by every rule of honorable politics he was bound to support the nominee of the convention. Instead of doing so he Is waging a guer rilla warfare, using poisoned arrows and explosive bullets- Intended to de stroy the Republican party and give this great Republican stronghold Into the possession f the enemy. The burden of his complaint Is that Senator Quay controls the organization, and that the last legislature was cor rupt, and that some of the state officers were rascals. Mr. Wanamaker and those w ho acted with him are credited with having spent $200.ooo to secure the el-ction of members favorable to his elect ion to the ofTice of Vnltd States senator. In the machine methods which he denounces he prcVed himself a past masler. If h had been suc-cessful do you think that his virtuous Indignation wculd have prompted him to take the stump In this campaign to condemn the means by w hich he achieved success? If he comes your way ask him if he sent his agents Into Wilkesbarre to assist the people of Luzerne tj select their senators an.i rt presentatives. Ask him how much money his agents spent to secure the nomination and election of men favor? able to his interests. Ask him if he at tempted to bribe the member-elect from Northampton county and gave a man named Tillare for that purpose. Ask blia to show up his check lxk and be nk account and tell how much that excursion Into politics cost him. Ask him how much of the J10.0OO that wa laid the district attorney of Sthuylkil rmnty to se.tle the Van Valkenler. .ase and ray the cost Incurred for law. yers and delegates came out of hif pocket. If he can clear up these matter to your aatisfa.-tlon then listen to hif talks about a corrupt legislature. I abhor and condemn the corrupt use of money lu politics. It wl I, tf not .top ped, wreck the republic. I also abhor the l.ypocrlsy thtt use. the rascals tool, and then condemn, the crime. He Is entitled to as much respect as a burglar would be who. failing to Jimmy open a bank, should preach a crusade against burglars. Hut I suspec t some of you are saying. If thee charges made by Mr. W ana maker are true, whether the Informer Is a saint or a sinner make, no difference. They should be remedied. I grant It, but the remedy lie. not in the direction of imposing the calamity of a Democratic administration on the state, which he desires and 1. seeking to accomplish The .mall Democratic contingnt In the last legislature could always lie relied upon to act under the leadership of the state chairman for any especially vicious legislation. What would they do if they controlled the general assembly? If bad men have crept into office In the Republican party tvt them be re tired. The Republican party will at tend to that in due time without the aid of Dr. Swallow or the Democrats. I am- aware that In hi. Philadelphia speech be made the following declara tion: "As I shall stand before the Judgment seat to answer for all things. I declare before you all that I never did a deed, n-jr do I have knowledge SOMERSET, PA., or a. Oonar wrongrrully spent 17 me or by my direction In that contest." - If Air. WanamaSter will add to this statement one showing- the amount of money that he actualy paid in hi. con test for United States senator and give the name, of the agent, who disbursed It. the public will be able to Judgj, whether he ought at least to have known that money was Improperly used and that his agents were guilty of bribery of the most flagrant kind. "Qui tacit per allum facit per sc. ia an honored maxim of the what one does by another he does himself. An honest canvass for United State, senator ought not to have cost $100. If Mr. Wanamaker and his friends spent, as It is generally believed, more than SJ00.0OO. it is Idle and childish for him Jo shield himself under a declara tion that the rascally business wa. actually transacted, not by his own hand, but by the hand of another. Let him show up his check book. DH. SWALLOW. The next candidate Is the Rev. Dr. Swallow. He is said to have com menced life a. a preacher, but in this high and holy calling he did not con tinue. His present occupation is keep ing a hook and stationery store and publishing a small paper In Harrlsburg. He made application for appointment a. thaplain of the senate, but being refused began a series of publications charging upon the governor and other high officers of the state serious wrong doing. These charges Involved criminal acts, and If true were sufficient to send the w hole board to prison. Being made by one who had been a minister and who. therefore, would be accredited with, a disposition to speak truthfully and not slander a neighbor, they excited wide Interest., and the trial wa. eagerly watched. Dr. Swallow was zealously defended by able counsel and was given every opportunity to give the grounds of his accusation and what Induced him to make It. Upon this subject the Judg3 says In hla opinion refusing a rule for a new trial: "To establish the defense that the publication had not been malicious ly or malignantly made, defendant (Dr. Swallow) testified at length, giving A detail of all the facts claimed to be within his own knowledge, and all the Information that he had received which led him to make the publication and nothing of the kind, however, re mote, was excluded." Dr. Swallow was convicted and sen tenced to pay a fine of JoOO and the costs of prosecution. A new trial was refused on the ground, as stated by the Judge, "that there was abundant evi dence in the case to warrant a verdict." His charge respecting the burning of the canitol. the building of the rose house, the lumber u."ed In Grace church are as malicious and vicious as that on which ho was convicted. We conclude most reluctantly that the Rev. Dr. Swallow is an untruthful man. and that the form and pertinacity of his un truthfulness proves him a bad. dishon est and dangerous man. Suppose this man were made gov ernor of the state. He would be the chief executive, the officer charged with the execution of the law and the preservation of the peace the com mander of the militia. Would he turn- out to be an Altgeld or Pennoyer or a bloody bridles Walte? Waite cost the state of Colorado mill ions with his foolish talk. .Altgeld strewed the streets of Chicago with the embers of burning property and the bodies of dead rioters. As a Prohibitionist Dr. Swallow stood for something that some people believe In; as a crazy quilt candidate, having but the single Idea of building himself up on the wreck of other men", reputations, he stands for nothing. H; Is turning his back on all the preempts of his holy calling. He would seem to be a very unsafe. Incompetent and unfit person to entrust . with the office of chief executive of a great state. COLONEL W. A. STONE. The other candidate, received a major ity of votes In the Republican conven tion, was duly nominated, and unless he Is unfit for the office by reason of want of capacity or want of honesty, is entitled to tbevote of every Republican. His record is an open book. It may be read and known of all men. He was the son of a Tioga county farmer, a private In the One Hundred and Eighty-seventh Pennsylvania volunteers, mustered out as set-ond lieutenant, commissioned as sistant and adjutant general with rank cf lieutenant colonel by Governor Har tranft. He climbed up the ladder that has served many a man. He was a school teacher, studied law between times, fighting poverty and gaining a profession. Moved to Pittsburg, was ap pointed district attorney oi me inueu Slates, wa. removed by Cleveland for j -nd paJ(, ,t bact That ls piain!y ap pernicious activity" in politics, which , parent Jn the newspaper accounts. I consisted In making some speeches for j . senator Ouav well, and have had General Beaver In the gubernatorial J campaign. Was sent to congress from his district in liO. He has made a good rec-ord and diligent and faithful con- j gressman. His capacity to fill theofHcewith cred it to himself and the state no one doubts. His honesty has not been ques tioned by any person. The sole com plaint against him is that his nomina tion was favi.red by Senator Quay. I hold nu brief for anyman or s't of men. I believe In honcxt government ar;d pure politics. I am here because I felleve the welfare of this state and country is bound up in the success of the Republican party. It stand, for honest money and for protection to American industry. It is the party of I rogress and liberty. For thirty-eight years the country bas been under Republican rule. A com parison between now and then may not lie uninteresting. In 1861, when the Republican party came Into power, we had J0.000 miles of railroads: now 200.000 miles. Thirty-one millions of people: now 73.000.000. Sixteen billion.-of wealth; now 85 bil lions. Per capita in 1S61. J314; In 1S90, $1,036. State debt In I860. 110,000.000: now Jl.2ri0.000. In lieo. a bankrupt gov ernment that could not borrow money at 10 per cent in any market of the world; now the government borrows j Iifi0.000.000 of the people In the face of . a foreign war at J per cent. The loan was subscribed seven times over and commands 5 per cent premium.. Evi dently the country can atand a great deal of this kind of ruin. CONFIDENCE. Confidence I. essential to success In business or war. The Wilson tariff bid was the culmination of a free trad; ' agitation begun by Grover Cleveland ( in 18. Its lauure to proviae revenue to support the government, the borrow- Ing of enormous sums of money to meet the ordinary expenses, destroyed the confidence of the nation. The panic which paralysed industry and sent 1- 000 000 men Into Idleness and their fam- .. ' - t Hie. to face starvation was the logical result. Increased distress, low price ( for farm product., an ever diminish- t ing stock of gold In the treasury, gave the advocate, of free coinage an op- j portunlty tber never enjoyed before, and never will again. The election of McKinley may be regarded as little short of providential. The Dlngley bill waa speedily passed, the treasury of the nation gan to til up; the wheel, of Industry began li re volve; the smoke of counties, chimneys of manufacturing plants curled to the sky; gold began to flow Into the coun try, and the price of wheat and of all farm products advanced. Somehow the Republican triumph restored confidence to the American people, and hand in band wilh confidence came prosperity. This year has opened a new page In the world", history and blazed a new path for the tread of Anglo-Saxon free dom.

Let them be answered. The Republi can party Is able to take care of its own rascals. If there be any, We will not burn down the house to get rid of a troublesome brood of mice that nibble the state cheese, if such there be. De feat now could not be explained. We will not adopt a remedy that would be worse than the disease. Would a house of hungry Democrats be an Im provement over the house of 1S96? Let all Republicans who glory in the same and w ho believe in sound money, protection, prosperity and patriotism, rally to the colors. Let all sound money Democrats see to It that their labors and sacrifices shall not have been in vain. Let us send greeting to William Mc Klnley on the 8th of November, the glad tidings that Pennsylvania stands fast by her glorious record of Repub lican victories, and that she approves of hi. statesmanship, self sacrificing labors and splendid courage. This plain American citizen has borne upon his heart lo, these many days, the vast and unmeasured responsibility of a sudden war. No labor has been too se vere for him to undertake, no sacrifice too great for hirn to undergo, that the nation might pass in safety through the dire ordeal of war. During the many weeks and months this patient man has grown in the hearts of this people and in the estimation of all the world. He has written his name with that of Washington, the father, and Lincoln, the savior of the country. With them it will be enshrined forever. Shall the state that gave him 300.000 majority seem to reward him with the dishonor of defeat for any reasons under the shining canopy of Heaven? "This year national Issues are para mount." This year the Republican party of Pennsylvania owes to the na tion and to the Republicans of all the states a special duty to maintain its oranixatlon and roil up a majority that will discourage the enemies of tound currency and American Industry. A NATIONAL STANDPOIM f. Clialrmau of the Republican C"ontrre btonal Committee Kprak of f'olouel Quay. "The sensational arrest of Senator Quay and his son. which has caused so much comment throughout Pennsylva nia, has attracted not a little attention in the national capital."' writes Smith 1. Fry. the well known Washington orrespondent. "The only Democratic newspaper published here merely says: "It is assumed, apparently with good reason, that it is not a Democratic scheme, but It is part of the campaign which has been carried on by a group of Pennsylvania Republicans for sev eral years. Ordinarily It would be as sumed that this was sufficient founda tion for such a suit, but fair minded persons, even though strongly opiosrd ! to Quay and Quayism. are apt to re gard this as a political trick. "Republicans here bitterly denounce the action which has been taken. Their views are crystallized in an authorized Interview with Chairman Babcock. of the Republican congressional commit tee, who says: This attack upon Sen ator Quay should cause all good stal wart Republicans to rally to hi. sup port. If the attack had been made when the alleged crime is said to have been committed, or if the charge had been made after the campaign had been concluded, or if it had come out at any other time whatever, I should not doubt Senator Quay's honesty, but I should not look at it politically. -But. coming at this time, it Is pal pably a piece of Democratic and anti Republican trickery, and ls palpably done for a political purpose, that in my Judgment every Republican In Penn sylvania should see through it. I do not believe the Republicans of Penn sylvania can be stampeded by Buch po litical methods. Senator Quay and his Knrrntt-.rt money from the bank financlal Rs wen a. political dealings with him. and have never known htm to lu o-iiltv of a dishonest transaction. I liel!eve lntt lhe honorable Democrats ' In Pennsylvania, and there are thou- sards of them, will resent this action j by their votes at the polls. I am con fident that the Republican, of that magnificent commonwealth will stand ty their ticket." " TWO IMPORTANT CONTESTS. Political Itue Alike In the Empire and Kejhtone States. The same Issue, are involve 1 In the great political contests in Pennsylvania j . a w ... Vnvt- z-lisu ttlntt lmnoetinf ) ana .e matter ai election of a United Slates senator. The i fact Is that the combined anti-Republican and antl-McKinley forces are making desperste efforts to get con trol of the United State, senate. The free silver Democrats are particularly active in this direction. Every effort Is being made to break down Republicanism in the interest. of the opposition to the great policies of the "Republican administration Here in Pennsylvania Democrats. Pro hibition orators and men once Re publicans have united In a campaign of vituperation, scandal and prepos terous exaggeration. They have charg ed against tUe Repubiican party al most every crime In the category, and from every stump they are continually bearing false witness. All the foes of Republicanism are uniting In fusion movements to send Guffey. the Demo cratic leader, or some other foe of Re publicanism to the United State, sen ate, thus destroying Republican con trol of that body. They are trying to defeat Stone for the governorship and lo cut Pennsvlvania loose from It. sup- port of MeKlnley. In the face of the great issues that . confront us It Is farcical to declare that tbi. campaign Is not of rational Im portance and that the conduct of a dead and burled legislature or some lo- I 1 I .1 . ... Kj cal issue of the past must alone be de bated. The Republican party has plac ed honorable, honest and manly candi dates In the field. These men have not been attacked, and no one dare, at tack them. Then why. merely to please a Jenks. or a Swallow, or a league en gaged in venting its personal spite, should the Republican voter, be turned away from their ticket? No Republican should allow himself to be Induced to give a complimentary vote to any candidate for the legisla ture. The Republican candidate, should be loyally supported. expressions of condemnation of the sction of the politicians In the con jplracy against United States Senator Quay contiue to come from the editors of (preventative Republican newspa pers of Pennsylvania. They generally regard the move as a boomerang. Hers are a few of the latest editorial com ments on this subject: REFORM WILL NOT ' COI FROM DEMOCRATS Republicans Not Willing to Stul tify Themselves and Their Party. TO MEET EVEEY ISSUE. The Legislative Records Calmly Reviewed and Facts Presented Showing Tbat - the Republican Voters Esve , Risen to the Occasion. "N'ow that the campaign orators hare pretty well covered all the Important Issues of the present canvass In this state, I am convinced that Republicans generally are going to stand by their party nominees." remarked General Henry H. Bingham to a Philadelphia Interviewer a couple of day. ago. "They have very properly come to the conclusion that it is uneless to look to the Democratic party for reforms. Pennsylvania is a Republican state and it would be an insult to the honesty and Intelligence of Republicans to say that In Pennsylvania, with her great Republican majorities, reforms can only come through Democratic chan nels." HE SPEAKS BY THE CARD. In this connection, and while the topic of reform waa under discussion, reference was made to the comment of Frank Willing Leach on the record of the last legislature, he having had su pervision of the work of supplying a number of newspapers with informa tion exhibiting the short comings of the members of that body. "It cannot be denied." said Mr. Leach, "that the performances of the- last leg islature were not acceptable to the peo ple of the state. But I speak advisedly wten I say that It was not one whit worse than any one of the dozen legis latures which have convened since tho new constitution went Into effect. There was this difference the doings of th? legislators last year were, as never be fore, made known to the people. While, however, the last legislature was no worse than Its predecessors. It was bt-d enough. But it Is a mistake to assume that all the legislators were corrupt, or that the wrongdoing was conflne-1 to the Republican party or to a faction thereof. There were many conspicuous memTiers of the two branches who val iantly battled for the people, but it Is historically incorrect to assume that all of them were from the socalled '75 who supported Mr. Wanamaker for the United States senate. Not a few of the much lauded T6' proved derelict be fore the sesion closed. Of course, many of the '76' did heroic work for the people which should never be forgotten, but so did other member, of both house, who had not leen Mr. Wanamaker'. supi-ort.rs for the sena torshlp. In other words, both the wrongdoing and the rightdolng. so to speak, were non-factional, and it la a perversion of history to claim the re verse. "Nor was the wrongdoing partisan. Those now engaged In a crusade against the Republican organization are forming alliances in many of the counties with a view to the election of Democrat, to the legislature. While in the last legislature some of the Demo cratic senators and a number of the Democratic member of the lower house, led by the Incorruptible Creasy, of Columbia county, were always found upon the side of the people, others. i.nd generally the majority, gave their sup port to the various vicious bills which it was sought to enact, and w hich the recent Democratic state convention so vigorously assailed. In a word, it Is strikingly unjust to charge all that was vicious In the last legislature to either party, or to either faction of the dominant party. It was simply a case of some corrupt men get ting Into the legislature and they have gotten into every legislature since a Republican form of government was devised who sought to further their own Interest, at the expense of the people's." FROFESSOR HAMILTON'S REVIEW. On this point. Professor John Hamil ton, of the state department of agri- ruintrp ami a director of the Farmers Institute, of Pennsylvania, talked Inter- estingiy the other clay. He has made a careful study of the work of the last legislature. "Bad deeds are indefensible," said Professor Hamilton, "whether com mitted by an Individual, a legislative body or a political party, and I have no desire to defend a single bad action. but my Investigations disclose the fact that the objectionable votes were cast by Republicans and Democrats alike of all factions. We hear a good deal of talk now about fusion." Would not It have been a fitting time to 'fuse In ! the ,a.at legislature? Why did not th . n.mn..r... . . 76 and the Democrats "fuse then. when they had an opportunity of doing i valuable service to the people of the i state, instead of leaving It until now The facts show that neither Mr. Quay nor Mr. Wanamaker nor Mr. anybody else controlled the last legislature. It was a la.- unto itself. One or two peo- ; ""T ZZ' ,k ":"h. , . i i-ii uirmuci .- u . ...v - r - - - - and how they ought to vote, and the reception these gentlemen received pre vented forever after the repetition of a similar attemot. The record shows that no party or faction of a party possessed all of the virtues, and it also show, that neither were wholly desti tute, but that they were all alike in this respect, sometimes doing well and sometimes do'ng ill. Much oftener, however, we can truthfully say. well than 111, as you will be convinced if you go over their entire work.

RESULTS SPEAK FOR THEM SELVES. "The record of that period shows that whatever mistakes or crimes that leg islative body bad attempted were either corrected by themselves or by the governor of the state, and nevei became laws. Five hundred and thirty- two bills were read in place in the sen ate that session, and l.OIl were offered In the house, making 1.553 In all. Of these only 496 ever passed both bodies. und of this number S6 were either wholly or partially vetoed by the gov ernor, leaving 409 as the accomplished and completed work of that legislative term. Sixty-eight per cent of the bills presented the legislature killed Itself. and when the governor had completed his revision. 76 per cent had fallen by the way. and only H per cent came Into force as law. Does this look like cor ruction unrestrained? "Whoever will carefully go over the laws of 1S97, as published In the statute books of the state, will be convinced that not a single wicked or Intentional ly Injurious law can there be found. 1 "L'oon this. then, their final and completed work, the Republican party. which has been entrusted with power to furnish salutary laws for the gov ernment of the state should be Judged. Open this volume and make attacks, j Not upon old. dead and burled bodies, j but upon the living law. and the book ; Itself will le Its own and the party's j triumphant vindication. j "'The la.-it legislature. If it was no bet-. i'er, was certainly no worse than many of its predecessors." REPUBLICAN'S APPLY THE REM EDY. In this connection Republicans are ! reminded that when they hear the record of the ia?t legislature criticised. they can direct attention to the fact , that the Republican party is bftr and j broad and honest enough to meet eery exigency that may occur In its history. Recognizing that the party ; has suffered by the objectionable work j f -some of Its members, the Republi- J can voters at the primary elections ; held but recently, at once proceeded to apply the proper remedy. In the last 1 house of representatives at Harris- : burg out of 204 members there were 1T1 ' Republicans, end of that number 10J have not been renominated Of the 69 others. 39 of these voted for Wana maker f-r senator, and only 2S for Penrose.and two voted for other candi dates. It will thus be seen that the Re publican party has sized up the occas ion, as It always has and always will and the people of Pennsylvania will show their confidence in that party when they go to the polls at the coming j election and stand by Its candidates. ; They have had too many experiments at trying to brin? alniut reform through the Democracy. That proposition has proven a failure every time It has l.een tried. The Democracy of Per.n- . sylvania now Ia in the control of men who have no standing in the commun ity because of their clse affiliation with the Bryanite national organiza tion. If they by any chance could get control of either branch of the Penr- j syivania legislature, or have the bal ance of power between Republican fac tions, their influence for harm would be terrible. TOE LEGISLATIVE JSAT STAKE. Pennsylvania Editors ia the United States Senatorial Campaign. THEY ARE FIGHTING FUSION Republicans Urged to Stand by llcirn- lar Candidate For the Lrulslature and For ('otigre-. and Are Told Why They should 1H So. 'A patriotic president at Washington Is battling for increased prosperity for the country, and he calls upon Penn sylvania and New York and the other states to support him." says the editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer. "Shall he not have this support from Pennsylva nia? He cannot have It If we are to turn the state over to his foes or to men who are willing to risk the glory and honor of the country to gratify their own personal spite. We have arrived at a most Import ant point In the history of this coun try. We are face to face with the greatest problems the nation "has had to deal with for mo-e than a qrarter of a century. Cuba and Porto Rico an 1 the Philippines must occupy our atten tion. Wise leadersh ip Is absolute.y es- sentlai, for the affa irs or these islam; must le settled, ar.9 there loom up ahead new markets for our manufac tured goods and the building of ships of commerce which will carry Immense cargoes under the flag of the Union all over the world. Can these questions be settled with a Denncratic party nagging and tr Ing to nullify the good work of the president? No. Pennsylvania will stand by Mc Kinley and will elect a Republican leg islature which will send a Republican to the United States senate, and sh will elect almost a solid Republican delegation fc the lower house of con- ! gress." FIVE MORE FUSION FIGHTERS. "Patriotic reasons demand." adds the Lancaster Examiner, " that the results of the coming state and congressional elections should be in the nature of a full and hearty Indorsement of the president, perfectly free from any thing that could be construed as op position or dissatisfaction with his war policy and the subsequent peace nego tiations. Therefore, the case against Senator Quay, whether Instigated by Democrats. Republicans or by persons actuated onlr ty a Sense of duty. might have been postponed until after the election. This course would have fully subserved the ends of Justice, and at the same time would have been free from any harmful tendencies against the country." "All the foes of Republicanism." re marks the Chambersburg Repository, "are uniting in fusion movements to send Guffey, the Democratic leader, or some other foe of Republicanism to the United States senate, thus destroying Republican control in that body. They are trying to defeat Stone for the gov ernorship and to. cut Pennsylvania loose from its support of McKinley. In the face of the great Issues that con front us it is farcial to declare that this campaign is not of national im portance." ' "Apathy or Indifference should not be allowed to interfere with petting out the full party vote in order to strength en the hands of the nation -.1 adminis tration and Insure that the fruits rf the late war shall be gathered." writes the editor cf the Norristown Herald. "A Democratic majority In the new con gress would be regarded, at home and abroad, as a vote of censure on Presi dent McKinley, to whose wise and prompt action was due largely th speedy settlement of the quarrel with Spain." ' "The Republicans of Pennsylvania know that this Is a Republican year." declares the Allentown Chronicle, "and they are going-to hold up the hands of the president by electing the Repub lican candidates for congress. It would be a great note If the next congress should contain a majority of men op posed to the president's wise and pa triotic policy. And that Is Just what will hap"pen If the Republicans do not get a majority." The election of a Democratic leg islature this fall means the election of a Democrat to the United State senate In January." says the Tltusvllle Her ald. "It makes no difference how ex cellent a Democrat may be. his voice will be raised and bis influence and vote will be cast in favor of free silver. free trade and the rejection of the j great fruit, of the war w ith Spain. The vote In the senate Is very close, and the loss of a senator from Pennsylvania might very seriously embarrass the ad ministration In the execution of the wise, sound policies which It has In view."

Thev declare that I there is nothing to indicate that tbir ! commissioners are any nearer a settle ' merit than they were the first day they j met. A WARNING TO REPUBLICANS. I Congressman James Rankin Young ' gave a timely warning to Republicans ; of Pennsylvania a few days ago. when he publicly declared. "As yet tnere u no peace. Let us cherish no such Il lusion. There will be no peace until the Paris commissioners sign and seal the bond. The president's wishes will c.nlv be regarded when they are en- ; phasized by your votes as the will of i the American people. These gentlemen j of Spain, now In Paris as commission- I ers. are well Informed as to this cam ; paign. They are as anxious for the do I feat of Mr. McKinley as Jeffersca j Davis was for the defeat of Lincoln. I Every blow aimed at the president. every vote thrown against him, every intemi crate speech, every morsel of scandal swept out of the gutters of a polluted Journalism, weakens the handj of the president, and tends to ham string our commissioners in Paris. If : there should be such a calamity as the ' defeat cf the administration In No i temlier. it will Invite a renewal of th j war. Tt will give a premium upon dis ', loyalty, and invite a contingency in which the bl.tod and treasure spent at : Santiago and Manila v. ill be as water j spilled upon the ground. j "We cannot ta'.ce too high ground ia ' ; support of the president.

In a re cent letter from the speaker to a well known Republican of this state the distinguished representative from the state of Maine took occasion to express J his appreciation of the many flattering Invitations he has received to ail ire meetings in Pennsylvania during the present canvass. You can be assured." said Speaker Reed In this correspondence, "that I must have a keen sense of feeling for the many kindly and urgent requests I have had to go to your state. Were It not for the fact that I honestly be I lev my services are more needed in what we ordinarly designate as doubtful ter ritory I would certainly give myself the pleasure to he with you. "Pennsylvania a doubtful state on either her governorship, ber congres aional delegation, or. most lir.portact Thomas b. r.Etn. of all. her selection of a Republican fop I'nitel States senator, seems to me a preposterous proposition. This cltad'i of Repub icanism in question, with the grave Issues involved in the present campaign aprears almost ridiculous. The success of the Republican party at next month's election is as of grat Kr.Krtance to the nation aa it was that the party which saved the Union In the days of the civil war should hae charge of the administration of the af fairs of the government upon the close of that war. "Republicans cannot afford to allow I personal prejudice lo Influence them as j as-tinst their party nominees this fall.' The whole civilized world ls watching America arid siieculating as to the al-iiity of our government to meet the serious problems that confront us. A large Republican vote at the coming election will be rccepted by the Eu ropean nations as evidence of the fact that the people of America are In ac cord with the administration of Presi- . dent McKinley. while Republican de feat would be taken as Indicating that our people were opposed to the war and were not sustaining our govern ment. THE LOCAL ISSUE TRICK. "Let no Renublican be misled. If there are matters In the affairs of your state that need correcting the Repub lican party, that has had the confidence of the peopie for so many years, can safely 1-e trusted to meet any demand for reforms.
