A rOUTKAL WRECK Insurgent Newspapers Are Now Damning the Union Party. THE "REFORMERS" EXPOSED Men Who Put Up the Cash to Fight the Republican Organization Are Now Denouncing Their Hirelings of the Laft Campaign. (Special Correapond'ence.i Philadelphia, January 21 The Union party organization In the Quaker City has ceased to be held in respect even by Its former most ardent champions. It baa been revealed, by Its former friends, In its true light of a combina tion of disgruntled and disappointed and scheming; politicians who have nothing in common with the principles and aims of sincere reformers, al though their stock In trade In the re rent campaign were their professions of reform. The very men and Interests which put up the money to run the recent Union party campaign in Philadelphia ere now the loudest In denunciation of the politicians whom they gathered around them and engaged to make their fight against the nominees of the Republican party. An organization was formed in every ward In this city. Headquarters were established and the millionaires and others who were be hind the movement paid the rent of the rooms, furnished the cash to em ploy clerks and canvassers, and In many cases gave the politicians hired to take charge of the organizations In the several wards from $200 to $1,000 each for their personal services during the campaign. FAKE REFORM. This was. Indeed a "reform cam paign," run upon strictly business prin ciples. These hirelings of the wealthy men, with personal ambitions to advance, or private grievances to satisfy, went at their work to disrupt the Republican party In the hope that besides the ready money of which they were as sured, there would be ofTices to be had after the defeat of the Republican can didates.and tn;n Democrats and Union party men would be entrenched in the city offices. Mass meetings were gotten tip and streets parades were organized, with many of the men In line paid from 50 cents to one dollar a night to turn out tinder the Union party banners. The insurgent and Democratic newspapers weie daily filled with glowing reports of the proceedings In the Union party campaign, and recounting, with graphic descriptions and precise detail, the "grand work being done in the interest of reform," but the voters soon be came acquainted with the tactics being resorted to and realized that the whole show was a scheme gotten up to serve the purposes of men who have been repudiated by the Republican party. These men believed that they bad but to defeat the nominees of the Re- puDilcan party to command considera tion from the leaders who had refused to comply with their wishes. When the politicians who had been subsidized into Joining the Union party and who had gotten control of ita ma chinery saw a chance last week to possibly benefit themselves they "threw reform to the winds" and started out In business on their own account. They held a Union party convention and nominated two of their own number for magistrates In the hope of electing them as the minority members of the board of magistrates. They believed that they could com mand more votes than the Democrats, and would thus get representation as the minority party. In order to strengthen their position they placed on their ticket for city solicitor the name of the Republican nominee for that office, John L. Kinsey, who has made a most very creditable record In the office. This action of the active workers in e Union party incensed the men who had spent thousands and thousands of dollars backing the Union party In Its unsuccessful campaign to defeat John Weaver, the Republican candidate for district attorney. They had hoped to be able to keep up the fight, to form an alliance with the Democrats for a fu sion campaign, and to strengthen the Union party and Democratic combina tion for the real contest for which all the money was being spent, the elec tion of members of the Legislature, which Is to take place next fall. These members of the legislature will vote on the United States Senatorship, and this is the grand prize for which the Union party was organized. The Union party, according to the declaration of its state chairman at the Initial convention held in Philadelphia, was formed primarily, to figure In the election of a United States senato;-. There are half a dozen eminent gen tlemen who have either put up cash to keep the Union party going or have given the'r influence In other direc tions to serve its purposes who art now damning the men who have gotten control of Its Philadelphia machinery, Wanamaker's Philadelphia newspa per, which has been the organ of the Union party in the state, is showing I he keenest disappointment. In a scathing arraignment of the Union party this paper, among other things, Says: "The Union party organization In this city has been guilty of an act either of perfidy or supreme folly, of both. In any case. It has abdicated its principles and abused its trust." Continuing. It states that by the ac tion of its convention it became "the tool of spoilmen," and then adds, "as the instrument of mere spoilsmen It represents no principles, and has no banner that any Independent or parti san citizen can follow. "The spoils hunters who have tem porarily gained control of the Union party organization in this city should be made as contemptible and ridiculous in their folly or perfidy deserves." And this is what the principal organ tf the Union party has to say of ths men who have been running Its "re form campaign." Every woman should read, without fail, the following paragraph. She will learn omething about herself she never knew I efore. Thompson's Rarosma is not only a won derful kidney, liver and bladder cure, but has a particular advantage as a remedy forChronic Female Weakness, Palpitation of the Heart, bearing-down sensations, Nervous Debility, Leucorrhrea or Whites, and Dropsical Swellings. Its peculiar ad vantage lies in the fact that it is both a female regulator and kidney, liver and bladder cure. The womb is situated back of and very elose to the bladder. A woman having any pain or distress in the back or side, at once attributes it to female weak ness when many times her trouble is en tirely from the kid neys or bladder. Hence a woman making this grave mistake will find a sure remedy in Barostna, for whether she is suffering from womb dis order or any disease of the kidneys, liver and bladder, Rarosma will effect a per manent cure. For this two-fold reason Barosma is the best woman's remedy on the market Thompson's Dandeloin and Mandrake Pills should be used with the Rarosma, for the liver and constipation.

The Insincer ity of the average reformer has again been demonstrated In the pres ent silence which has been observed among the Insurgent newspapers over the question of the exclusion of the Chinese laborers. The Pennsylvania Insurgents have finally discovered that United States 1 Senator Holes Penrose, by reason of his position aa chairman of the com mittee on Immigration of the senate, will wield grvat Influence In shaping the legislation In congress on this sub ject. In an effort to cater to the labor vote some of the Insurgent news papers made great ado over this Is sue some weeks ago In seeking to lead the movement for the re-enaot-ment of the Chinese exclusion law. Hut things are different now. The editors of these papers have learned that Senator Penrose Is the real leader In this agitation and that upon his shoulders will largely rest the respon sibility of meeting the organised op position of large capital interests for liberal legislation affecting the Chi- nere. Sena or Penrose has arranged to give a hearing this week to represen tatives of both the advocates and the opponents of the proposed legislation to bar Chinese cheap labor from this country. It has developed that many business interests fear that If the action of congress shall be too radi cal on this subject trade with China will be seriously affected, and it may lead to retaliatory measures on the part of the Chinese government. New England Interests, including the Great Roston and Maine railroad. representatives of the Canadian Pa cific railroad. In which a large amount of capital from the United States is Invested, the Chamber of Commerce of New York, fearful of curtailment of the importing and export trade with China, and the Cotton Planter Association of the south, who ship millions of dollars worth of cotton and cotton goods to China, a-e among others who have requested an oppor tunity to be heard before Senator Penrose's committee. On the other hand. Senator Penrose has extended a cordial invitation to all labor organizations throughout the country to have representatives at the hearings or to comimnkate with him direct by mail, that he may submit to his colleagues in the sen ate, in a practical way, the views of American mechanics and laboring men on this great question. In convtrsation on this Isne a few days ago. Senator Penrose among other things said: "1 was not until recently aware of the many ramifica tions of this question of the exclusion of the Chinese laborers. I have re ceived many communications from business men, manufacturers, import ers and exporters and o.hers on this subject, which go to show how keen ly some of our commercial and manu facturing interests are considering this matter. Frou the outset of this agitation I have made it a point to keep in touch with representative workingrren, among them officers of various trade unions and other organi zation, and I have githered a vast fund of valuable information which will be available in framing the bill which will ultimately come from our committee. Throughout our own s"tale of Penn sylvania the workingmen are fully alive to the situation, and I have had hundreds of letters from almost every section of the corrmonweilth Insisting that there shall be no departure from the polity of exclusion of the Chinese laborers. "The men engaged in the vast an thracite and bituminous coat fields of Pennsylvania, our great coke Indus tries, the lumber interests and the im mense iron and steel plants and the other manufacturing establishments of the Keystone state, including many thousands ' of workingmen, are all deeply concerned In this subject. "Personally, my aim from the out set shall be to protect American labor from all encroachment of undesirable foreign labor, which at low wages would come in competition with the men who have served to make this country great and prosperous. - "The American home, above all, must be protected, and I am satisfied that when this issue shall be finally met in congress the Republican party, which has always been a friend of labor, will not be found wanting In appreciation of the claims of the work ingmen of the country, and the cour age to afford them full protection In this matter."
