THE FOREST REPUBLICAN.
J. C. WINK,
Editor a Psopsktos.
WEDNESDAY, ATRIL 22, 18ftl.
PR. T01YLER SLAl'S RACK.
Marikstille, Pa., April 18, 1891.
Ed. Republican:
I am just home from Harrisburg,
and have bad a good hearty laugh
over the editorial in the Xalional
Democrat, headed "our member." As
ft!) attempt to get out of the hole on
the part of the editor, it ain't very
bad, undoubtedly the best he could do.
So far as the articles from llarrieburg
are concerned, let them as they appear
answer the attack of "glory to Tow
ler," "self conceit," etc., etc. It would
be unkind in me, not to say sarcastic,
to draw attention to the question of
"conceit," ''blowing bis own born,"
etc., so far as the editor personally is
concerned. Almost equally unkind to
indulge at length in remarks as to his
political majorities in bis several very
vigorous attempts to "get there." The
editor knows uncomfortably well that
a majority of 28 is a great deal better
than no majority at all, and that it is
better and far more pleasant to be
honestly nominated, and elected by a
majority of 28, than to be repeatedly
sat down on by ones own party. As
to the return of "our member," as ye
editor sarcastically quotes, for next
term, that is too far ahead to count
on, but if be does want to go back, he
will do just as he did before, viz : not
ask the editor of the Democrat for any
assistance or any "free advertising."
That is a question for some other peo
ple to determine, and not for "our own
and only Kepler." I return his com
pliment of "we like our member." I
like "our own and only Kepler," like
him in spite of his faults and his
windyness. Like him because there is
lots of fun in him, and when not
troubled with politics, be has lots of
"good sound horse sense." Politically
be U to be loved, for he bat done more
to divide the but I will hold on
there; I have no disposition to indulge
in personalities unless it becomes a
matter of self defense. As to the ap
pointment of Coroner, the statement
of "our member" is exactly correct.
There was no failure to secure an ap
pointment. The appointment was
made within one-half hour after it
was asked for, and it was promptly
confirmed by the Senate. So that
part of the editorial is a misrepresen
tation. Will the editor candidly state
how many letters he wrote before
action was taken on bis appointee, or
does he want "our member" to tell T
Will he also state bow be knows that
"no Democrat wanted it," and if that
is true, will he please then explain
why he thrust such an undesirable,
repudiated, no-good office on another
gentleman of Republican faith, whom
I suppose to be at least counted among
his friends? Was he throwing to him
what he says "no Democrat wanted"
for a joke on Governor Pattison, or
for a slap at the appointee of Governor
Beaver to create trouble? He must
have had an object, and in tbe attain
ment of that object be certainly suc
ceeded in having an aggressive, warm
Republican appointed by a Demo
cratic Governor over the head of an
other neighbor already appointed by
Governor Beaver, and whose commis
sion only was not yet issued. Will
our own and only big Democratic edi
tor please explain? Was be using
tbe Pattison appointee as a tool, or
will he get out of this second hole by
dodging behind tbe rocks of "conceit,"
- "glory tj Towler," and "our member"
twaddle. "Our own and only" big
Democratic editor is smart but not
smart enough to keep himself out of
"washouts;" in fact he has been in
them pretty much all tbe time. No,
the article was not intended for "po
litical buncombe." Fact is, no one
cared particularly about the matter at
all. It would not have been referred
to if "our own and only" big editor
had not for the "glory of ye editor,"
"with the bump of self-esteem abnor
mally developed," and anxious to
"sound bis own praises" and air bis
own smartness, been taking such com
fort to himself and having such fun
over knocking out Beaver's appointee
by another Republican appointee. He
did it, but in doing it, he put himself
and tbe Governor in a bole, aud a
plain statement of tbe case was all
that was intended or done by "our
member."- I can not be drawn, how
ever, by any sarcastio littleness of
"our own and only" Kepler iu creating
any quarrel in tbe Republican ranks.
130 tar as 1 know both appoiutees are
my friends and voted fur me, and had
tbe latter appointee stood iu the same
position, in Beaver's lime, as tbe first
appointee, the same action would have
been taken for him as for the other,
and his appointment secured.
For tbe purposes of this letter I
have used the words that he uses as a
quotation, viz : "our member," but I'll
bet him a good four dollar spriug hat
that be can t iiud that expression in
any article of mine written from liar-
risburg. Come, now, friend Jacob,
admit honestly that you are in tbe
soup, and you know it. Shut up and
let's go fishing for trout.
S. S. Towi-F.r.
The President, in his trip South and
West, is meeting with just such a re
ception from the people as bis excel
lent administration has given him a
right to expect.
11a Con- Fava, the late Italian min
ister, befuro leaving ua, condescended
to say that he sympathized with the
United States. It is a matter of grave
doubt whether tbe United Siatts
reciprocates.
The rich steamship companies seeni
surprised to learn that liter arc to t e
made to obey the dcw immigrntun
law. It may be a somewhat novtl
proceeding but Secretary Foster has
issued orders for tho strictest enforce
ment of the law, and ho ineaus busi
ness. RKCH-Kocirv with Cauada, owing
to tho peculiar commercial relations
between that country and England, is
too serious and important a matter to
be decided in an off hand way. Let
us go slow, and be sure we are right
before doiDg anything that will bind
us.
It is amusing to Republicans to
observe the consternation created in
the Democratio ranks by Governor
Senator Hill's recent broadside against
free trade. Hill shouts "I am uot a
free trader," and Mills, of Texas, the
supposed favorite of Cleveland in the
Speakership contest, retorts by shout-
ng "I am a free trader," while Crisp
of Georgia, also a candidate for
Speaker, yells "me too." But this
isn't a circumstance to the fun that
will be furnished by the next House
of Representatives on this same ques
tion of free trade.
The Democrats in some instances
attempt to deny that their party is
without principlo" and that it exists
only by opposition and evasion. No
one will deny that Representative Lee,
of Virginia, is a representative Demo
crat. In a recent newspaper interview
he gave his ideas of what the party
should do as follows: "It strikes me
that in a nut-shell the policy of the
Democratic party lies in a few points.
Tbe first of these is to subordinate
everything to tbe party success. An
other is that we must not consider any
issues on which tbe parly is divided
until after the fight of 1892. As to
our policy in Congress, it seems to me
there can be little doubt. Wbat we
should do is simply to assume end
maintaiu a state of masterly inactivi
ty. Gen. Lee has let the Democratic
cat out of the bag with a vengeance,
and his want of tact will cause him to
be execrated by shrewder members of
his party. There may have been more
abject confessions of political coward
ice than that outliued by his remarks,
but if so we have no recollection of
them.
The Democratic hand that is ma
nipulating the Farmers Alliance third
party movement becomes plainer every
day. It is not pretended by even the
most sanguine advocate of the third
party idea that there is tho remotest
probability that such ticket can be
elected. Even if tbe Southern States
in which the Alliance predominates
were to cast their electoral votes fur a
third party ticket, which they will not
do, it would not change the result.
The Democratio leaders, aided and
abetted by the men who control tbe
Alliance in the South, are using the
Alliance in the States that have been
heretofore Republican to pull the
Presidential chestnut out of the- fire
for tliem by helping them to throw tbe
Presidential election into tbe House
of Representatives, which tbey con
trol. If the Alliance approves of this
sort of thing it is none of our funeral,
but we must say that we should prefer
seeing tbat organization come out
square and above board for tbe Dem
ocratic party. Tbe result striven for
would be precisely the same, and there
would be no sailing under fuUe colors.
