Gubernatorial Contest va Side Issue
to Elect Members of Congress to
Support Bryanite Program.
Special Correspondence.
Philadelphia, September 4.
Manufacturers and business men of
this city have been sitting up and
taking notice since that demonstra
tion In New York over the home-coming
of William Jennings Bryan.
That pledge to Bryan that Pennsyl-
If vania will show a gain of at least
iu- cignt Democratic congressmen in the
returns of the November election,
made by one of the campaign orators
In the Kmery gubernatorial outfit, has
opened tho eyes of Pennsylvania Re-
publicans to the dangers that lurk iu
the fiiBlon movement iu this state.
The loss of one Republican congress
man in the Keystone state, tho Gibral
tar of Republicanism, with the uncer
tainty that exists In so many congres
sional districts in doubtful or debata
ble states, means much more in the
total result than is generally under
stood. Ono vote may decide the elec
tion of the speaker of the next na
tional house of representatives, and
the Democrats may get that vote from
Pennsylvania through the game that
is being worked in the deal between
the Democrats and the Lincolnltes.
President Roosevelt, In his recent
utterances in letters to members of
congress aud others, has sounded the
alarm, and has warned Republicans
everywhere to be on their guard in
every congressional district so as to
insure the election of members of con
gress, who villi co-operate with his ad
.iiiuibiiaiiou in carrying out the great
policies which he has inaugurated
the builditij of the transcontinental
canal, the control of the trusts, aboli
tion of freight discriminations, restric
tion ol Immigration and the other
great problems which he has under
taken to solve with the aid of a
friendly congress.
Aim of the Bryanites.
When several hundred Pennsylva
nia Democrats journeyed to New York
last week to greet Bryan they had but
one thought uppermost In their minds.
It was the election of Bryan to the
presidency to succeed Roosevelt. Ev
ery effort that they tan put forth be-
tween now and the next presidential
campaign will be directed toward that
end. Their activity in the state cam
paign in Pennsylvania this year is but
part of a general scheme, with the
election of the next president as its
ultimate object.
Carried away with the enthusiasm
with which their surroundings filled
them, the Pennsylvania Democratic
contingent at the Bryan reception in
discreetly revealed the cloven foot in
the fusion campaign for Emery for
governor.
John M. Carman, a former chairman
of the Democratic state committee of
Pennsylvania, who is booked to stump
the state for Emery and fusion from
now until election day in the Victoria
hotel. New York, away from the en
vlronmcnt of his Emery LIucolnite fcl
low campaigners, threw off the cloak
of the fusion conspiracy and revealed
to Bryan and to the world, unwitting
ly, the fact that the real aim of the
Democracy in Pennsylvania this fall
is the election of Democratic member
of congress.
Garman was spokesman for the dele
gation of Fennsylvanians who present
ed Bryan with a solid-silver shield,
suitably Inscribed and mounted upon
a heavy old-oak escutcheon, and gaily
decorated with flowers.
A Significant Testimonial.
Engraved in large script letters was
the following inscription:
The more than half a million Demo
crats of Pennsylvania Join with
pride in the national greeting
To
"WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN,
The most eminent private citizen of
America, upon his return from a
tour of foreign lands.
"THEY HAIL HIM AS THE NEXT
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES.
"As an Indication of the attitude of
the organized Democracy of the Key
stone state upon this Issue, they point
with gratification to the unanimous
adoption by the Democratic state con
vention, held In Harrlsburg June 27,
190fi, of a platform, the most note
worthy plank of which reads as fol
lows: :
We congratulate the country upon
the fact that the only prominence
which the present Republican national
dministration has attained has been
achieved by feeble and pretended ap
plication of the principles enunciated
by the
"HON. WM. JENNINGS BRYAN,
"The Great Democratic Commoner.
Who is now regarded as tho certain
successor of Theodore Roosevelt to
the presidency."
Tho above reproduction from the
platform adopted by the Democratic
convention which nominated Emery
for governor should In Itself be an
dmonitlon to Republicans of the Key
stone state of the great danger to the
future success of Republicanism !n
the nation that would follow a defeat
of tho Republican ticket in this state
this fall. They should recall how, af.
ter the two Democratic victories in
Gubernatorial campaigns In this state
iu the last 20 years the Democracy
triumphed in the nation with the elec
tion of Grover Cleveland to the presl
doncy upon each occasion.
Pledge to Their Leader.
But. added to tho warning that
should be contained In that plank from
the state platform, comes a speech by
Carman Iu presenting this token
esteem to Brynn.
Said Garman to the Nebraakau
leader:
We bring greetings from a unite
Democracy, who recognize In the denv
onstration of popular good will towar
yon an inspiration for every Demo
crat to look with confidence to the fu
ture.
"We at tho same time are not un
mindful of the importance of tho elec
tion of Democrats to congress, and
there Is every reason to believe that
we shall gnin from six to eight pepre-
sentatives to the lower "house, who
will co-operate with their fellow Dora
ocrats of other states to advance the
policies which you have so consist
ently and ably championed."
There is evidence that there has
been an awakening among Republicans
throughout the commonwealth to the
fact that nothing must be left undone
to thwart the Democrats and their Lin
colnite allies in the state campaign.

wonderful work which is called "The

to its extraordinary mime. Is said to be

Every letter Is most beautifully drawn,
and the magnitude of the work is so
great that It seems Impossible for tin,

The story of the origin of the uiunU'
script, nowever, not only gives It as
tho work of line man, but also states It
to be tho work of u single night. The
story runs as follows:
"A poor monk had beeu condemned
to death, but was told mockingly by
Ills Judges that if be was able to copy
the whole 'Code' betweeu darkness nud
dawn lie would be saved. Relying up
on the Impossibility of the task, those
who sentenced him furnished him with
the original copy of the 'Code,' wltb
