Philadelphia, Oct. 9. From every county in the state come expressions of approval of the appointment of Gen. Frank Reeder as commissioner of bunking by Governor Stone to succeed the hue Col. Thotims J. rowers. Stal wart Republicans recognize this ap pointment as a timely recognition of a brave soldier, a staunch party man and a. faithful and successful worker in the cause of Republicanism. Gen. Rceder's selection, of course, does not meet approval of the insurgents, whom he has been fighting; since they entered upon their conspiracy against the reg ular Republican organization, lie is naturally a fresh target for their vituperative abuse and slanderous edi torial assaults. His record as a public spirited citizen of Pennsylvania can not be detracted from by the malicious onslaughts of the yellow journals who are but part nnd parcel of the insur gent political machine. Governor Stone has taken occasion to tell the public what he thinks of the subsided newspapers that have been attacking everything Republican In this stale for some years nnd he has shown that he is absolutely In different to their attacks. Gen. Reedcr Is the recogiii.i cl leader of Northampton county. He is a na tive of Eastern. 53 years old, and at the outbreak of the war for the I'nion, at the age of 17, he enlisted in the Fifth Pennsylvania regiment, nnd when his term was ended he enlisted in the One Huntlred and Seventy-fourth regiment, nnd was soon nfter made adjutant. In August, 1 St;;?, having- recruited a com pany of cavalry, he took command and fought bravely until stricken down by n ritie ball. At the battle of Nashville he dis played such prowess that he was bre vetted major ami lieutenant colonel at once. Ho was mustered out as colonel of his regiment in this city in June, IStlS. The new commissioner was graduat ed from Piir.eeton and Alb;:ny Law school, mid was for a time law partner of the late Chester A. Arthur. In 1870 he returned to E:;ston and es tablished a law firm with his brother, the late Judge Howard Reedcr. He was department commander of the Grand Army of the Republic in 1S72, and in ls,i was appointed brigadier geueral of the National Guard. Ho was chairman of the Republican rtato committee in 1S;)2. he was the party field mars-hal fu the canv.is which re sulted in, the eUcib'u of Co!. Harnett lis state treasurer, and is at present at the head of the republican organiza tion in the state. STAIWARTS QUITE ACTIVE.

The payircnt of over ?:!0.0t)0 by the Republican city campaign com mittee for poll lax, to qualify It: -publi-' can vol era tor the coming election, is an evidence of what the party leaders arc cloiui:. This expenditure of (ash means tlr.it CO.UOO Republican voters are cpialitinl, besides the thousands for Whom receipts weie procured within the last io verrs npcl whose receipts hold good retil after the next election.

Since tho beginning of their cam paign In Pennsylvania the men at the head of the so-called Insurgent reform movenier! have not had administered to them such a scathing and timely arraignment as was given in a speech by Lincoln U Eyre at West Chester last week. Mr. Kyre's address was one of the most striking and forcible made In the present canvass for the Repub lican ticket and was especially signifi cant on account of Mr. Eyre's reputa tion nnd standing among the true and sincere reformers, who, while Repub cani in national politics, ndvocate non partisan government in municipalities. Mr. Kyre rigidly adheres to this Idea, but he Is disgusted with the methods and the actions of certain men In Philadelphia and elsewhere, who are using their positions In reform organi zations to further the personal schemes and ambitions and to advance the Wannniaker-Martin, Flinn-Guffey po litical interests. "I warmly welcome the opportunity afforded nie to say a few words," said Mr. Eyre in his West Chester ad dress, "on the Important issues that confront the Americau people at this critical moment of their history. I also welcome the chance to say what I believe ought to he said plainly and fearlessly upon the equally important Issues that have arisen within the state. These Issues have been forced, especially of late, upon the mind and conscience of every Pennsylvania Re publican. They threaten the very life of the party in the state Itself, and they serve as a standing menace to the maintenance of Republican policy throughout the I'nion. I am proud to be enlisted in the Republican army. I am proud to stand up with my Re publican comrades at the roll call of the Pennsylvania laglons. BORROWED GARMENTS OF RE FORM. "Now that the thundeilng tread of the advancing hosts is heard from county to county throughout our grand old commonwealth, Philadelphia regiments will find me marching with them ready to assist In crushing not only the enemy that advances toward us in the open field from Kansas City, but the still more dangerous foe that started out from Philadelphia, falsely masquerading in the borrowed gar ments of let'orm, lurking behind every tree and seeking, in the name of re form, to shoot down Republican men and Republican principles. "Coming to you from Philadelphia, which is today In certain quarters the hotbed of party treachery, I know somcthiag of the conditions that pre vail there, r.nd I know that true re formers and true relorm principles have been taken into camp by a band of political self-seekers, who are will ing even to imperil the safety of the Republican party at large, in order to iici oinplis'i their purpose of obtaining control of the cxr-eutiva and legisla tive funetiens of the state.

FUSION HOPES OF DEMOCRACY Governor Stone's Stalwart Dec larations on This Issue. THE SENATORSHIP INVOLVED. i What It Will Mfhh fur Itnlillrnnii lu Vt Aitnluat Their I'arly onil-u.-rx For thf Slnt- l.rRUIat urc. Governor Stone Is a stalwart among stalwarts, and In a speech at Couriers port. Potter county, a few nights ago, he paid his respects to the men who are engineering the movement to de feat Republican candidates through fusion with the Democrats. "I believe," said Governor Stoue, "that the things to talk about In a political campaign are the things the people are thinking about, and in this county and In some other counties of the state there Is talk and thought over fusion. I am not here to criti cize or question the motives of any Republican who, failing to secure a nomination by his own party, accepts a nomination by the Democratic party and tries to defeat his successful op ponent. I am here, however, to speak of the effect of such action. "Whenever the fusion candidate Is a Democrat he will necessarily get all the Democratic votes and some Repub lican votes. The Republican votes are so much gain to the Democratic party. When he is a Republican, should he be elected. It is necessarily a Democratic victory, because a member of the leg islature, running against the regular nominee of his party, loses necessarily all connection with his party in caucus and committee. "While fusion is possible In some counties at the election. It Is utterly impossible In the legislature. If It were possible to have a majority of Demo crats and insurgents In the senate and the house it would be impossible to fuse upon speaker of the house and president of the senate and the forma tion of the committees without an agreement on the part of the Insur gents to vote finally for a Democrat for United States senator. "The Democratic leaders are not In this fusion movement to reform the Republican party, nnd they have not gone Into it except upon assurances that there will be no coming together of the regular Republicans and Insur gents. They have no desire to see them come together. They believe that a house divided against Itself cannot stand, nnd they do not want the Re publican party to stand, and they nat urally will do all they ran to keep the Republican party divided against It self. DEMOCRATS FOR A DEMOCRAT. They are In this movement to secure the election of a Democrat to the Uni ted States senate, and If they can se cure a majority of Democrats and In surgent Republicans who will not abide by caucus action they muy succeed. ANY ItEPlRLICAN WHO CON TEMPLATES VOTING FOR FUSION LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES MIGHT AS WELL UNDERSTAND THAT HE IS VOTING AGAINST THE REPUB LICAN' PARTY AND FOR A DSMO- CRVriC UNITED STATES SENA TOR. What knd of Republicanism Is it to vote for McKinlcy and then vote for a candidate for the legislature who will vote for a Democrat for United States senator? Without a Republi can senate M. 'vinlty's bunds are tied. If ti e Pemecrats were sincere in this matter they could have ended the dead lock in the last legislature at any time by voting for a Republican for United States senator. Iiul they are not sin cere, and they will deadlock the legis lature a pa In until puch time as the Insurgents will co-ope-ate with them for the election of a Demecrat. I think the people 1'nve had (juite enough of deadlocks. "If the fu;doiiists snrcred there will likely be an the;- of long duration, for nd.i"ii! rvirr.t will not brr"k a deadlock in tht r.rst. l",Isl.it!irc. The senate of the Uni'rd St.-'tcs havl'i refused to seat the r.) -prdrtee cf ths governor. It will l e his duty to convene the legisla ture in extra session if they adjourn without en elecfrn. Von cannot blame the Republic in nvjority for pdhering to their caucus! nominee and the delay arising over a prolonged deadlock must be upon th Insurgents and those Re publicans who vote for them In No vember. "The ic;, t.iture will be largely Re publican, i'i-ri a Republican senator should he rlreti d, but If the majority cannot narrc the candidate in caucus how can il Lo brought about? It can best b" d-me by the Republicans voting in November for their own reg ular candid io; : :;d turning their hacks upon fiifion. ADMITTED TO BAIL Oniclill flihrirnd With IH.rrlmlnntlt..

TIktc Will He Ciirtnllitirnt In the A lluu unpen Heretofore VI mlr, Which Are tirentrr Tlinu Are Miide by Anr Other Mute In the I'nion. In referring to the Issue of tho pub lie school appropriation Attorney Gen1 cral John P. Elkin has given a very clear nnd comprehensive statement of the attitude of the Stone adnilnlstra' tion. Attorney General Elklu said: "I have been requested to explain the attitude of the Republican pnrty nnd the'present administration on the question of the sjipport of the common schools. Upon that question Tennsyl vanla has a proud record. Our first appropriation to tho common schools was made In 1S33. It amounted to $75,000; every year nn annual appro prlation has been made for the schools. In 1S72, prior to the adoption of tho new constitution, thenppropriatlon was $700,000. Tho framers of our funda mental law Inserted a provision that the minimum amount thereafter appro' printed in any one year should be ono million dollars. From 1S71 to 1SS7 iu elusive the amount appropriated was the minimum lixed by the constitution. At that session of the legislature a movement was set on foot by the Re publican members to Increase this np prop.iation. Tho effort resulted In a compromise which gave $1,500,000 for this purpose. For 1889 the amount was Increased to two millions of dollars, nnd In 1891, when the Republican party controlled both branches of the legis lature, the annual appropriation was Increased to tho princely sum of three millions of dollars for 1S93. STONE'S WARNING IGNORED. When Governor Stone na Inaugu rated he sent a message to tho legis lature explaining the financial condi tion of our state treasury. The records then showed that there was a practical deficit of more than three million dol lars. The governor suggested that one of these things should be done, either that the legislature should provide more revenue or reduce the appropria tion, in order that the credit of the commonwealth might be sustained. "The legislature did not provide ad-' nitlonal revenue and did not decrease the appropriation. The governor was then confronted with the condition of nn already existing deficiency In tho treasury, nnd more appropriations made than the estimated revenue of the gtate Tfrould pay. He viewed the situation as a practical business man would. He said: " 'The state cannot approve the pay ment of more than it receives, no mat ter how worthy the purpose.' "He acted on the principle thnt wo must be Just before we nre generous. "He scaled down thp appropriation bills In every possible llrectit;:i to tho amount of $5011.000. But even this did not bring the appropriations within tho estimated revenue and provide for tho pnyirent of the deficit. He was ihen up to the question of th school appro priation. He reduced this $500,000 a year. He gave us his reason thnt there was not sufficient money to makp this lai'ire appropriation nnd pay the debits. He also stated in his veto me-isngo that he would eheerfullv approve the whole appropriation of $5,500,000 If the conditions of the state treasury war ranted it. a nrU' iCIT IS WIPED OUT. "Less than two years have elapsed since this action was taken by the gov ernor. In the meantime the financial condition of the state ba.i phenomenal ly iiiiprov' d: up to the present moment we have pr.M the entire deficiency of more tl'nn ibr" miPIon dollars, nnd have suf!'c!e;:t vr,r-ry lo pry 'r "::!Iro Rchcel appr; !nt'':i and rtiil hove a surplus cf ric re than onr million dol lar.;.

Itevnrtled l " im the Mont ote worthy Deliverance of the l'reent CumiuilKn. (Special Correspondence.) Harrisburg, Oct. 9. Undoubtedly the most remarkable political tour ever attempted In Pennsylvania Is that be ing made by Col. Matthew Stanley Quay and the other prominent Repub licans who are accompanying him. From the Initial meeting in West Ches ter there have been a continuous series of ovations and popular demonstra tions, which In point of numbers and tho enthusiasm shown by the people are unprecedented In the history of this commonwealth. Wherever meetings have been held the halls have been too small to ac commodate the crowds, and over- How meetings have been organized so that all could hepr. Parades of McKinlcy and Roosevelt clubs have been given at every stopping point, and there has been music end fire works galore. Col. Quay's speeches hnve attracted national attention, and nre regarded as some of the strongest contributions to the presidential campaign ciatory. They nre being universally quoted and favorably commented upon by the lead lug newspapers of the country. During the past week Col. Quay has visited Chester. Montgomery. Potter, vrawiora, mio ana i-awrence counties, nnd he has had requests for speeches from nenrly every county In the state. Possibly the most notable utterance made by tho Heaver statesman was that upon the Issue of Imperialism nnd the perils of Rryanlsm. On this sub ject, among other things, he said: QUAY ON IMPERIALISM. "It Is not likely that any serious peril threatens from anti-Imperialism or nnti-expanslon, nor that tho Demo cratlc party Intends any drastic mea sures In either direction in the event of Its success. No matter who is elected president this country will hold hard to its own and will support the chief executive in his effort to retain It. No American cltlzpn will be willing to Bdmit that the United States have been whipped by a few thousand half sav age Malays nor to yield to them prop erty for which we paid twenty millions of dollars, nnd which has been water ed by the blood of our brave soldiers, unless it is to tho manifest Interests of all concerned that we should do so. "Ours is a warlike nation sprung from the loins of a warlike ancestry. 7he hustings may resound with angry clamor of discussion leading to or nwny from war, but when nt last tho halo fires are kindled and the battle ban ners wave and the war drum beats, the old Viking blood bounds again, and men of nil our political parties and of all shades of belief take arms to fol low thfc military parly or policy or leader. "A war pirty has never been defeat ed In thin country, and no successful party daro be a peace party nfter Us success nt the polls. The colonial war, the revolution, the war of 1812 and the American war were merely the bloody baptisms of an Infant nation. The civil war was the trial of it s strength nnd manhood, but when ccc:islyn ar rived for the difficulty with Spain God elected this country to enter the parlia ment of nations to participate In Its armed debates. "It is not necessary to recapitulate occurrences so recent that they passed under the scrutiny r.f our very young children, whereby we bpramn the bal ance of power In the measurement of the strength of the world. The treas ure and tears and blood of the last two or three years have been precious seed, and the next generation will look far and wide over the world and be hold its rich and ripening fruit. "I was not In favor of the acquisi tion of th Philippines. To me the game did not seem worth the powder. A coaling station, a shipyard, a few miles of territory easily fortified around a good harbor seemed to meet our requirements. As a member of the peace commission I would have voted against the purchase, but when the treaty was presented for ratification and there remained but to sustain the commission or return to war nnd chaos, as a Benntor of the United States I gave It my support. "Then Agulnaldo thrust his war upon us, ami now there can be no halt until the last armed enemy Is sub dued. I say there is no danger from the Democratic theories upon expnnj slon or imperialism. They declare this a paramount issue, but their declara tion does not create a situation. They could have declared the price of cab bages the paramount issue. "THE PERIL IS THAT IN THE SHADOW OF THEIR PRETENSES LURK THE SINISTER AND MENAC ING SPECTRES OF THE SACRED THEORIES OF DEMOCRACY, FREE COINAGE OF SILVER AND FREE TRADE. TO THESE MR. BRYAN IS PLEDGED. IN THESE HE RE LIEVES. IN HIS FAITH HE IS A FANATICAL CHAZI. IF ELECTED HE WILL THROW THE PARA MOUNT ISSUE TO THE WINDS OF HEAVEN TO FORCE THEM UPON THE COUNTRY. HE WISHES TO PUNISH THE MONEY POWER OF THE WORLD." MALICIOUS MISREPRESENTATION. Senator Quay wound up his speech at Coudersport by saying: "At the Lowisburg meeting last night I referrpd to tho false prophets of reform, and said that they erected altars of reform at which knaves min ister and fools kneel. Some of the re porters, who are attending this course, sent out this sentence In a way that shows how easily it is to distort lan guage In newspapers not In political sympathy with the speakers. They added the letter V to the word 'min ister' and nut a commn nfter tho word OFTICIAU. Offico i .fc 7X National Rank Building, OIL CITY, PA. Eyes examined free. Exclusively optical. HOW nlxiut your stock of Htiiticuniry' We'do high class Job Printing. Knaves, so m to iupko it ivnu v.nere knaves, minister and fools kneel.' It was a bright political trick, r.nd I sup pose the opposition is busy now send ing niaiLrd copies of this bungled quotation to clergymen all over the state. I make this statement by re quest of some of the gentlemen pres ent." GRANT AND HART RAN FT. Speaking at Tltusvllle, Col. Quay said: "Although filling high office in Penn sylvania nnd always inert lagj with the cordial support of your citi'.cns, I have not visited you since 1S72. Then, as now, 1 nrjived here In the heat and bitterness of a political campaign. In that year a great revolt was in Penn sylvania against the Republican or ganization i.tul the ticket. Some of the wisest and truest of the Republicans of the Union were bitterly hostile to thnt great soldier who led our armies in tho civil war.

Gen. .bin K. llarlranft, was Rtitngonizeri ly a larf.e number of so called Republicans, wlio supported Charles R. Huekalew. Then, .as now, the campaign was o:ie of per:-onal de traction. "All over this broad laud they were shouting r.l Grant on account of the whisky frauds and attacklus the mem bers of his cabinet. Ilartr.inlt was charged with being responsible for a broken bank. On election day bills were posted at the polls by Democrats picturing Hartranft lu the snipes of a convict. The revolt then failed, and I hope tho revolt thla year will full.

As you nil know, the last Repiibllc-n state reinvention nlaccd me in nomination for United States senator. It matters little to me. It matters little to the Republican party of Pennsylvania, who is the United States senator, so that bo is a regular Republican who may be trusted on every Issue that is presented in congress for the welfare of tho coun try. "You nre electing three members of the legislature, who will hnve a vote for United States senator. You are also voting for n candidate for con gress. 1 say to you that while Presi dent McKinlcy Is going to be elected by more votes in the electoral college than he received in ISCti, there is tho greatest danger that congress will pass into the hands of Hip opposition. This is one of the close districts, now repre sented by a Democrat. "It Is your duty to see that your con gressman and legislative candidates are suci cssi'ul.

These hnve multiplied our furnaces und factories manifold and added four hundred and forty thouaaud men to the ranks of cm ployed labor In Pennsylvania. Under the McKinlcy administration tho wealth of Pensylvania has nearly doubled. FREE TRADE AND FREE COINAGE. "The policy of the government hi these regaids cannot bo altered in the event of Hryan's election, unless he Is n traitor to his country, which he Is not. P.ut he Is from pure conviction In favor of free trade and iree coinage, and if elected be will force these upon tho country. Free trade will put out our furnace fires and close our facto ries, destroy our capital nnd throw out of employment our win kingmen, whose labor is their capital. "The free coinage of silver will close our banks Mid produce geueral bank ruptcy. The lower house of congress Is the most powerful single branch of the government. There all revenuo bills must originate and nil appropria tions be framed. It holds the keys of tho exchequer and may at will shacUlo the executive In the conduct of a war or of a peaceful policy. It can carry the purse end tie the peace strings of the sword. If a congress ii elected hostile to Hie policy of tho president he will be helpless; and I regret to say to you that the complexion of the next house ot representatives Is exceedingly uncertain.
