Governor William A. Stone made
what has been regarded as the most
notable speech of the state canvass at
the rooent convention of the State
League of Republican clubs In Phila
delphia. The speech was delivered In
the Academy of Music and Senator J.
U. Koraker, who was the star orator
from outside of the state on that OC'
cnslon, publicly stated that Governor
Stone's speech was the best lie Lad
beard in the present campaign.
Governor Stone, among other things,
Bald:
"I greatly appreciate the privilege of
addressin;; you ou this occasion. vo
have the same candidates that we had
four years wro. with this difference
William McKInley has been tried by
the people and found equal to every
emergency, while the Democratic can
didate has not been tried. McKInley
must be considered by what he has
done, while Bryan must be considered
1-y what he claims he will do. You
l'.ave on the one hand a competent,
faithful public servant, who has mm
your confidence, while upon the other
you have a visonary theorist.
"When four years ago you put Will
lam McKInley on trial you put his
theories of government on trial. They

were sound money and a protective
tariff. They, as well as he, have been
fully tried and they have proved a
complete success. Their success has
proved the Democratic theories of free
trade and free silver a complete fail
ure. The country could not be in its
present prosperous condition and
sound money and a protective tariff
bo wrons. The country could not be
in its present prosperous condition and
flee trade and free silver be right. The
tilal and success of sound money and
a protective tarilf prove conclusively
that free coinage and free trade aro
wrong. Now, which will we have, a
man and hia rules of government that
we know are right, or a man and his
theories that we know are wrong? Will
ve discharge our family physician who
has cured us of our sickness and keeps
us in health and employ n quack who
gives the medicine that made us sick?
Will we bet our money on a horse that
has taken every heat and won every
race at home and abroad or on a horse
that Ins only pranced before the re
viewing stand?
MANNA OF SOUND MONEY.
"I km w Uryan in congress and ad
mire Iris sreat power as an orator. He
has delighted me with his eloquence
upon more thua one occasion. And I
remember that Aaron was a great
orator. But it was not Aaron who led
the children of Israel out of the land
of Egypt. It was Moses, and when tho
American people vcre sufforing dur
ing Cleveland's administration und'
the blighting curse of the Wilson ta
iff bill and the threatened free col
age of silver; when we were groaning
under our task maskers and making
bricks without straw, it was not Bryan
nor Democratic oratory that lifted our
burdena, but It was William McKInley
who led vtH out of the land of shadows
and fed ns with the manna of sound
money and a protective tariff, and al
though we still hear the rumble of
Democratic chariot wheels our spies
have bei-n to the promised land and
returned with the rich grapes of pros
perity. Wc have manna and quail In
abuiidanee and we no longer make
Democratic bricks without the straw of
protection.
"But while the free coinage of silver
was the paramount issue four years
ago, they say it is not the paramount
lsaue now. Our Democratic friends do
not think so much of free silver as
they did. They are still for it, but
they say less about it. They have lost
heart in It. They have a new theory.
They call it imperialism. They still
keep a stock of free trade and free sil
ver on their shelves, but they do not
ehow them to customers, except to
customers from the west. They de
Clare thai, imperialism Is the para
mount Ik?-,) They say that McKInley
and the Republicans are imperialists
and tnat the maintenance of an army
In the Philippines and the attempt to
subdue the insurrection there is im
perialism. They say it was all right
to buy the Philippines and all right to
pay Spain twenty millions of dollars
for the. ni, )dt thnt it is always wrong to
maintain po:!ti.,i!oa of the purchased
property, and they bring forward the
declarations of departed saints of the
Democratic party to prove that the ac
quisition of territory is all wrong and
they want us to discuss that. They
say that h the paramount Issue. Now,
1 am willing to discuss any question
with them except the demngoguery of
the Deiuui iiitie party. That is a mat
ter ton apparent and self evident to

young and weak and when the chief
concern of our statesmen was to keep
from treading upon the toes of more
powerful nations that a timid declara
tion of intention to keep to ourselves
and let these more powerful nations
have the rest of the world was the
wiser policy, but we have kicked off
cur copper toed boots and outgrown
our short clothes and can now afford
to tramp on the toes of other na
tions, if they get in our way. e
could not in our Infancy as a nation
very well afford to expand until we
had expanded, but In all the precedents
and optnlons of our older statesmen
I fail to find that any of them have
ever maintained that we should buy
new territory as Christmas gifts for
other nations.
"Bryan and his Democratic colleagues
ursed us to buy tho Philippines. They
helped to ratify the treaty with Spain.
If there was any imperialism it was in
buying the islands. It Is certainly not
imperialism to try to get possesion of
the property we bought. If McKInley
is nu imperialist Bryan is an Imperial
ist, because they both favored the pur
chase of the Philippines. Mckinley Is
only trying to get possession of the
property which Mr. Bryan authorized
him to buy. Was Bryan iu urging the
purchase of the Philippines trying to
make a campaign issue? Was he try
ing to put the Republican party In a
hole? No hole that the Democratic
party can dig is big enough to hold
the Republican party this fall. Havo
we paid $.'0,000,000 for a campaign is
sue for the Democratic party?
CONGRESS WILL DECIDE.
"As to what will be done with the isl
ands after we get possession, that will
be for congress to decide and not for
Bryan or McKInley, if cither is elected
president. Bryan says he will call con
gress together In extra session to frame
a bill for the independent government
of the people of the Philippines. Mc
KInley says he will put down the rebel
lion and get possession and the con
gress can deal with the matter, and in
the meantime one tribe In the Philip
pines, the Tagals, are hoping and pray
ing that Bryan will be elected and
straining every nerve to hold out until
after election.
"The Democrats did the same thing
In 1SGI. They declared the war a fail
ure and proposed a dishonorable peace.
They nominated a enndidato upon this
issue. The Republicans renominated
Llnroln, and declared for the prosecu
tion of the war. He went to the poll
upon that Issue, and the Confederates
kept up the fight, hoping that the Dem
ocratic party would win. Lincoln was
elected, and the southern Confederacy
went to pieces within 40 days after his
inauguration. If the Democratic party
had stood square up to the war in the
campaign of 1S64 Lee would have sur
rendered six months before he did. All
thnt kept the southern Confederacy to
nether during its last days was the
hope of Democratic victory, and all that
keeps the Philippine rebellion' together
now Is the promised aid of the Demo
cratic party if successful at the polls
In November.
RESPONSIBILITY PLACED.
"How can Bryan and his colleagues.
who openly declare their Intention, if
successful, to give terms to Agulnaldo,
escape the responsibility for our sol
diers slaughtered during this cam
paign? I know that the custom of crit
icising the administration Is prevalent
u campaigns. I know that great lati
tude is albwed in criticism, but whero
overtures are held out to public ene
mies with whom we aro at war it ceases
to be legitimate criticism, and ought
to be condemned severely at the polls.
It is permissible to oppo30 the ad
ministration In all Internal matters
that do not. affect our relations with
other countries, but it is un-American
and disloyal to extend sympathy and
promise aid to a people with whom wo
are at war. Had there been a presi
dential campaign cn In 1SDS it would
have been equally ns proper for Bryan
to have declared his intention to con
vene congress for the purpose of stop
ping hostilities with Spain as for him
mw to declare hin intention, If elected,
to stop the war with Agulnaldo and his
followers. They are public enemies,
and a man who extends sympathy and
encouvagemeut to a public enemy is
hardly a safe and proper man to elect
president cf the United States.
"It makes no difference whether tho
president happens to be a Republican
cr a Democrat, no law abiding citizen
enn afford to throw obstacles in hH
pntli. We should at all times present
a united front to the enemy. We should
not encourage Mm by dissensions at
home. Tf the Democratic national con
vention had declared for a vigorous
prevention of the war it would have
been over by this time. The last Phll
Ipp'ne soldier, hopeless of aid through
political dissensions In this country,
would h?v thrown down his gun in
despair.
Ol'KPTION OF HONOR.
"I nro surprised thnt the Democrats
have raised this question. Our people
are a rraceful people nnd love not war,
but they have never halted nor hesi
tated in front of the enemy. The east
and the west may divide upon finance,
but they will never divide upon a ques
tion that affects the honor of the coun
try. We could not, without dishonor,
withdraw our soldiers from the Philip
pines no lone as there Is a man In arms
aeain::t our flair. W did not make war
on the Philippines. We acquired the
Islands legitimately. As soon ns we
had done so Agulnaldo undertook to
drive us away. Had we struck our
colors and left the islands, docs any
one doubt that Bryan would now be
charging us with cowardice and claim
in;; that we rJiouUl have done Just what
we are; doing?
"We are eccused of favoring expan
sion. Bryan and his followers ore op
posed to expansion. Expansion Is
growth. The party that will be In con
trol in this country must keep pace
with the march of events. The coun
try has expanded, grown. The Ideas
and ambitions of our people have
grown; everything has expanded but
the Democratic party. That Is their
trouble. They Mill tread in the foot
titeps of their forefathers. They will
not realize the wonderful growth and
rxpanslon of the country. Nor will
they appreciate the. need of more terri
tory and greater markets for our sur
plus products. They are an old party,
behind the date, a back number. There

the growlug energy, zeal and pluck of

chance nothing, hazard nothing, risk
nothing. They are not fit to govern
this country, and they have demon
strated that fact every time they have
tried it.
THERE MUST BE NO HALTING.
' "The country cannot wait It is hur
rying on to Its destiny. It has no use
for the Democratic party. We must
have new consumers and new markets
for our surplus products. If today our
exports to foreign markets of our sur
plus products should cease we would
have a panic in 90 days. We ask noth
ing of the Democratic party hut to keep
out of the way. We are not submitting
our plans to-them; we aro not consult
ing them: we are pressing forward to
capture the markets of the world for
our surplus products. The present so
calied Democratic party are not Dem
ocrats, but an aggregation of all Fopu-
llstic factions. The Democrats, the
real Democrats, who think more of
principle than, party, are voting for
McKInley.
"I know with the cunning that comes
with great experience they are trying
lu some counties of our state to cap
ture Republicans by fusion upon can
didates. A few of our brethren are not
satisfied that the majority should rule.
They think the minority should rule.
When a man in uny organization Is not
satisfied that the majority should rule
It the organization can better spare
thnt man than to change its rules and
let the minority rule It. I know of no
organization, be It civil, political, re
ligious or social, where the majority
does not control It. I for one am not
willing to try the experiment of permit
ting the minority of the Republican
party in Pennsylvania to control it.
Our majority is not so close In Pennsyl
vania but what we can spare those who
do not believe that the majority should
rule.
ADVICE TO INSURGENTS.
"This fusion with the Democrats will
fail. A presidential campaign in Penn
sylvania is a bad time to try the ex
periment. These Republicans who are
planning it nnd encouraging it had
better drop It. They will fall in the
cud. Certain newspapers will undoubt
edly continue to urge It, but they will
have little influence. Their motives
are pretty well understood. Recent
primaries prove that. They exert no
political Influence in their own com
munities and they will soon cease to
exert any in other localities. The peo
ple are not dishonest or corrupt be
cause they do not agree with an arti
cle in a newspaper. They are quite as
likely to be as honest as the man who
wrote It, and more so when the man
who wrote it does not express his own
views, but as he may bo directed to
write.

Life In n Street Duel.
Cecrge T. Bell, for years a Texas
ranger and Inter la tho employ of the
government secret service, carries marks
of six knife wounds mid seven bullet
wounds received while en duty as a
ranger for the government. Possibly the
most thrilling experience through which
he passed was a duel nu the streets of
Tucson, A. T., In that town's palmiest
days.
Bell had becu Instrumental In rounding
up nnd capturing n gang of counterfeit
ers known as the "Saaug Brooks" gang.
They had their "mint" up in the Pellon
cillo mountains in the Gilu liver country.
All were sent to the penitentiaiy and
had been released save Brooks, who es
caped. A warrant, Indorsed "dead or
alive," was placed in Bell's hands for
service. He located Brooks In a saloon
in Tucson and, walking up, notified him
thnt he was under arrest.
Shang glanced patronizingly upon Bell,
for he was G feet 2 in Ills i-toeking feet
and a giant in ttrength. Tlieu he an
nounced, ".Sonny, you'se . 'II have to
grow some." He had half turned from
the bar as he spoke, and Bell did not
know that the movement was shielding
his hand as It crept to his pistol. Some
one In tho saloon yelled a warning, and
Instantly there came a shot. Shaiur reel
ed and then sunk to the tlonr with a bul
let through his ubduiiien. Bell had fired
through bit. cent pocket. The wound was
fatal, though it did not ut once cause
Brooks to lr.se command over himself.
Pulling himself together, the desperado
drew his weapon, which lay beneath him,
nnd wna leveling It at Bell when the de
tective sent another bullet through his
pistol wrist, ending his ability to do
harm. He died a few hours later.
Thongh Bell did not know It nt the
time, Brooks hnd two companions In tho
town. Jack and Jim Styles, brothers.
They heard of the shooting and decided
to avenge the death of their pal. Later
in the day ns Dell walked past a general
store in the frontier town some one veil
ed, "Look out, Mr. Bell!" Turning like
a l'nsh, at the same time drawing his re
volver, the detective saw Jim Styles on
the opposite side of the street. Ho raw

bullet seared his temple. Jim Styles con

The two men paused within ten paces of
each other, and there they emptied their
weapons, l'.ell had no knife, nnd when
Styles saw this he gave a yell of triumph,
tossed his revolver from him and jumped
in with a bowie knife in his bond.
The two closed lu upon each other. At
Styles' first slash of the knife Dell side

(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia. Sept. 25. One of the
most Important results of the conven
tlon of the State League of Republican
clubs, held here last week, was the
determination of many active young
Republicans, visitors from every coun
ty lu the state, to return home and
work more zealously than ever for the
success of the whole Republican ticket.
They were Inspired to do this by the
eloquent and forcible arguments made
by Senator Pornker. of Ohio, Chairman
Babcock, of the Republican congres
slonnl committee, and other party lend
eis, who came to Pennsylvania to
urge the Importance of making Repub
lican gains In congress in order to save
the house to the Republican party for
next year.
They pointed out the possible gains
for the Democracy In many states, and
they gave facts and figures to show
thnt there Is a dangerous apathetic
feeling shown among Republicans, who
3eem to be Impressed with the idea
that President McKInley Is certain to
be re-elected and that the Republicans
are sure to elect a majority of the
house.
The Republican club men had their
minds disabused of the notion that tho
Republican party hns practically a
walkover in the canvass for the house,
and they were Impressed with the Ira
portnnce of making Republican con
gressional gains In states like Penn
sylvania. Every now and then tho
Democrats, through Republican dissen
sioii8 or indifference, make heavy gains
In their representation in the house.
Stress was laid by several of the
speakers upon the danger of losing Re
publican congressmen through the fu
slon movements which hnve spread to
a number of counties of the stnte, by
the etTort3 of the so-called Insurgents
While primarily, in many cases, the
aim of the insurgents is to to defeat
Republican candidates for the stute leg
islature, It was shown thnt In the past
Republican candidates for congress
have been defeated in Just such move
ments. There are several congression
al districts which, under ordinary cir
cumstances, are safely Republican, but
which are now made debateable, and
probably Democratic, through the leg
islative deals with the Democrats made
by tho Insurgents.
The several speakers who touoned
upon this subject at the League con
vention were emphatlo In their state
ments thut unless prompt action shall
be taken by the leaders of the party
organization and tho State League to
thwart the plans of the fuslonlsts there
will be serious losses in the congres
slonal delegation.
There were reports, however, from
some of the club men which Indicated
that the fusion movement is not going
to make tho headway that was at first
feared.'
Delegates from Chester, Montgom
ery, Union, Snyder, Northumberland.
Montour, Blair, Franklin, Venango,
Warren and other counties, where the
Guffey Democrats and the Flinn-Mar-tin
Insurgents are at vork, stated that
there Is a growing sentiment among
Republicans against the fusion
schemers, and that the prospect3 are
that in many districts the plans of tho
insurgents and their Democratic allies
will meet defeat.
HURRIEDLY CALLED CONFERENCE
That the managera of the fusion
movement are not quite at ease was
made manifest here last week when a
hurried conference was callet' which
brought William Fllnn and Co -
M. Guffey, the Democratic J
committeeman, from Allcghenj . t
David Martin and Chairman Rilli..g, of
the Democratic state committee, to
gether in this city. This quartet are
supervising the arrangements for fu
sion In the several counties of the state.
They were alarmed over several unex
pected developments after the Demo
cratic primaries In this city, where Guf
fey had planned for fusion with tho
Martin insurgents.
In the legislative districts where
John F. Keator and II. L. R. Nyce, in
surgent members of the last legislature,
were defeated nt the Republican prima
ries, the Democrats refused to place
them tTpon the Democratic ticket, but
named straight Democrats In their
stead. Guffey had insisted upon the
Democrats in the districts putting Kea
tor and Nyce upon their ticket, but
tho Democrats refused to take the
orders, and named men of their own
party in each instance. The same
thing was done In several other dis
tricts In this city, where Guffey had
agreed to help Martin men to defeat
the regular Republican nominees for
the senate and the house by fusion
with the Insurgents.
Senator Osbourn, who wa3 renomi
nated by the Republicans of his dis
trict, wa3 to have been opposed by tho
Martlnites with the aid. of the Demo
crats, but the Democrats named a man
of their own party and Guffey was in
a rage when he. met the Democratic
leaders who had thrown him down.
He summoned Chairman Donnelly, of
the Democratic city committee, to the
Hotel Stratford, where Martin and
Fllnn and Rilling were already assem
bled. There Guffey told Mr. Donnelly
that he had been betrayed and that tho
Democracy of Philadelphia would bo
read out of the organization if the par
ty leaders did not obey his commands
for fusion nominations. Donnelly pro
tested thnt he could not prevent what
had happened, as the ward leaders had
Ignored his instructions and named
Democrats where they should havo
nominated insurgents.
A Ol'F.EHOMBINATION.
During ihe civil war as well as our late
war with Spain, diarrhoea was one of the
most troublesome diseases tho army had
to contend with. In many Instances it
became chronic and the old soldiers still
suffer from it. Mr. David Taylor of Wind
Ridge, Greeno Co., Pa., is ono of these.

Guffey, Flinn. Martin. Rilling and
Donnelly went over the whole situa
tion, and Guffey pleaded with Donnelly
to do what he could to prevent further
violations of faith with their Flinn
Martin allies.
Donnelly promised to do his best,
and ho went to work at once to get for
mer Speaker Walton nominated for
senator by the Democrats of tho Fifth
Senatorial district. Walton hnd been
defeated at the Republican primarlei
by William H. Berkelbuch. the candi
date of the stalwart Republicans, by a
majority of about 8.000 votes In a total
poll of over 34,000. Donnelly soon
found that the Democrats of the dis
trict would not stand for the plnclng
of Walton upon the Democratic ticket.
The leaders said they would agree to
fusion If It would help the Democratic
party, but they declared that the Demo
cratic voters would not tolerate the
nomination of Walton. The result was
that former Representative Dearden,
who has been an anti-Martin man and
a Martin man by turns, was nominated
by the Democratic convention. Pear
den Just now Is a Martin man, but ha
stands not the slightest chance of being
elected. The retirement of Walton has
led to a unanimous Indorsement ofBer
kelbach, the Republican nominee, by
the Republican committee of the Thirty-second
ward. In w hich both Berk,
bach and Walton reside, and which di
vided by n vote of 154 to l.rVj nt the
delegate election, although Bcrkelbacn
hnd a majority of several hundred In
tho nonular vote.
The turning down of Walton will
mean that Berkelbach will carry thl3
district by at least 4,000 majority. It
is likely to be much more, and the fu
sion' scheme as regards members of tho
house of representatives will fall also.
NO SHOW FOR INSURGENTS.
It now looks as though the insur
gents would not get over four out o!
the .19 members of tho houso of repre-
sentstives to be elected In this city in
November, nnd they will not get a 6ln-
cle member of the senate.
The Democrats hnd two members of
the houso at the last session from this
city, but they will not have a Phllndel
phian In the next house.
The Republicans of Philadelphia are
determined to recognize the call froro
the Republican congressional commit
tee, and they will elect every Republi
can candidate for congress from this
city. This will mean tha turning down
of McAleer, who has been sent to con
gross for some yenrs by the Martin
Republicans, who have used the Mc
Aleer organization for factional pur
poses In the Republican party. Mc
Aleer Is now confronted with a stab
wart Republican, a well known manu
facturer, Henry Burk, who will make
an aggressive canvass nnd who will be
elected If the leaders of tho regular Ro
publican organization enn thwart the
Martinites in their deals to send Mc
Aleer to congress in return for votes
for Insurgent members of the leglsla-
ture, or for Democratic members of the
legislature where Insurgents havo not
been nominated.
The outlook Is certainly very gloomy
for the Fllnn-Martln-Guffoy combine
B3 far ns Philadelphia is concerned,
and it is probably the same throughout
the state.

on speaking terms with my roommate.
lou can be all right toward everybody
else alnjard, but he's your enemy. The
case Is worse when It's a pair of old
travelers, us each Is posted us to his
rights and privileges und is zealous lu
enforcing them. When I crossed to Lon
don last year, I had a Chicago man for
a chum. No doubt he wns an nil around
good fellow, but it was his sixth or sev
enth trip, nnd he'd pot posted ns to when
and how to exhibit his mennness. I
found him In the stateroom when I came
aboard. We recognized eucli other as
veterans, but a few words must be ut
tered for decency's sake.
"'Names Jones,' rays I as I chucked
nwny my steamer trunk.
"Nume's Brown,' says he as ho bang
ed on his hat.
"Wo didn't spenk ngaln for four days.
Then we got n heavy gale nnd a big sea,
and ns I wes lying In my buns ho came
in for some clgnrs and prowled:
"'(Jot it?'
"'No; hnve you?
" 'No. Hoped you hnd!'
"An hour liefore we landed I handed
him a pnper on which I hnd written
down my feelings concerning him. I call
ed him o crank, a curmudgeon, a bear, a
heathen and lots of other things nnd ex
pressed the fervent liopo that It might
never occur thnt the same hotel would
give us both shelter In Europe. As I
handed out my pnper he extended one.
He had written down his feelings toward
mo, nnd I pledge yon my word if the
two papers weren't alike to a word! I
met him In Furls six weeks later, and we
rushed to greet each other lilto old
friends, nnd for two weeks we walked
about like two brothers nud were grieved
when the parting enme. Thnt was on
lnnd, you know, nnd we weren t bunk
mates. I'm going over again next month,
but I'm making no promises of better be
havior. bother my roommate Is a
minister from Boston or a cnttle raiser
from Arizona, I shall probnbly do all I
can to make his position uncomfortable,
and I nm sure ho will do as much for
me." Pittsburg Press.

"What's you game?" asked the man
with the big cigar In the Pullman.
If you menn my profession," replied
the other with dignity, "I'm a maker of
books."
"Aud I'm a Ipookniaker," cried tho
first heartily.
