The Empire City Farms, Cuba, N. Y. When writing kindly mention ibis piper. Philadelphia, Sept. 24. Members of the legislature who serT. ed with John O. Sheati at Harrtsourg have suppllmented the action of the war veterans In exposing the trick of the Democratic campaign managers who Bought to misrepresent the action of Mr. Sheati as a member or tne gen eral assembly In dealing with the bill to provide pensions for old soldiers. The wat veterans of this city, Dy res olution and through vigorous speeches of some of their most prominent mem bers, repudiated the campaign circular sent out by Democratic politicians or Lycoming county, In which Mr. Sheati was held responsible for the failure of the plans to have the state provide pensions for veterans of the civil war who enlisted from Pennsylvania, and who are now residents of this state. Without regard to party or factional affiliations, men who sat in committee with Mr. Sheati, when the old sol- elers' pension bill was under consider ation, have united In public declarai tions which show the falsity of the charges of the Democratic tricksters. One of the most active of the young er members or tne general asspuiuij. Representative Joseph S. Thomas, of Ducks county, has come out boldly In defense of Mr. Sheati In a statement which leaves no t'om to doubt that he Is speaking with absolute sincerity and candor. Democratic Lies Nailed. Mr. Thomas, who Is edUor of the Prlstol Gaiette, reproduces the allega tions made by the Lycoming Demo cratic outfit in their document sent out to Influence old soldiers against the Republican nominee for state treasu rer. He takes up each of the misstate ments of fact, and gives the truth as he knows it. "There Is not a single line that dons not contain statements which I know to be absolutely untrue," declares Rep resentative Thomas. "John O. Sheati, In a thoroughly conscientious and bus inesslike manner, did everything In his power to pass the real pension bill. He did not add a single Item nor add one dollar to the figures that was not absolutely necessary to carry tho bill into effect. He did not sit alons side the governor and even suggest the Ycto of the bill. He did not put a sin gle straw In the way to cause the bill's defeat. "The alleged pension hill was Intro duced Into the Senate by a Democrat The bill as introduced by Senator Cochran was a ridiculous farce, and if passed in that shape and approved by the governor it never could have been put Into operation. One million dol lars appropriation was called for, but no provision was made whatever for the machinery to put the law Into mo tion. Sheatz'a Conscientious Work. "The bill passed the senate, went to the house and was referred to the ap proprlations committee, of which I was a member. Mr. Sheati, the chairman of the committee, reallied that the sen ate was engaged in a game of buncome set to work and for three weeks labor ed to whip the bill into shape. lie called to his aid the auditor general and General Mulholland, of Phlladel phla, the pension expert. Thorough calculations were made as to th amount of money that would be neces' sary to pay the pensions, and plans for a state pension bureau, under the charge of the auditor general were de veloped, with the necessary corps of clerks. "Through General Mulholland, from the best obtainable figures, It was learned that about 55,000 were likely to apply for pensions and that the average to each would amount to $82.50. That made It necessary to ap propriate $5,574,000 to cover the 15 months until the new legislative ap proprlatlon becomes available. Let Truth Be Known. "The amounts fixed by the house ap proprlation committee were carefull7 figured, and Mr. Sheati worked earnestly and faithfully to make sane and correct measure out of the farce passed by the senate. Governor Stuart. In my hearing, declared that he surely would have vetoed the bill as it came from the senate, and that the house had made a thorough bill of it and that he Intended to approve It If there was revenue enough The house of representatives also passed a number of revenue bills which would have produced sufficient funds to pay the pensions to old soldiers, but Senator Cochran's colleagues In the senato killed every one of thegi, end that was the reason the governor ve toed the pension bill. "John O. Sheati acted fairly and squarely with the veternns. He was their best friend and labored In their behalf, while Senator Cochran trifled '.1th a sentiment to play politics. "Mr. Sheati did his duty honestly and conscientiously, and has nothing to fear from the result of any examina tion made into Its record. Other Legislators Speak Out, Representatives Andrew J. Pfaff and John R. Gillette, City Party members of the house from this city, and Rep resentative Robert P. Habgood, of Mc ICean county, are among others Who have given public declarations that the charges that Mr. Sheati did not work fairly In the Interests of the old sol dier are absolutely false and mali cious. Representative Gillette, among other things,' said. "The nomination of Hon. John O. Bheati: by the Republican party fo state treasurer removes the last doubt as to whether a Republican or Demo crat shall bit that Important office as the successor of Treasurer Berry. The good sense of the party has prevailed, and a more logical candidate could not have been named. Taking Into con sideration the exigencies of the situa tion, the nomination was a master stroke, and all factions of the Rcpub lican party can have no further reason at this time for remaining outside the breastworks. "There is absolutely no truth In the campaign charges that Mr. Sheats tl not a friend of the old soldiers. I say this with knowledge of his work at Harrlsburg In their Interests."

Contest at the Pennrylvanla Election This Fall Regarded as Skirmish ot the Great Presidential Battle ot Next Year. Special Correspondence. Harrlsburg, Sept. 24. A significant feature of the Rather Ing of Republican clubmen In this city this week Is the presence of so many young Republicans, many of them to be first voters at the coming election. The activity of young men In the ranks of the State League of Republi can clubs in tills campaign nas oven the subject of general comment, and the party leaders who have been fight ing the battles of Republicanism for years are elated over the accession of so many enthulastlc recruits. The popularity of the nominee fo? state treasurer, the fact that ne is, himself ,a s!aunch member of the State League of Clubs, and that his candidacy typlftYs the desires or the men who seek to advance the causs of Republicanism's highest Ideals, may, In a measure, account for the gratify ing Interest taken In the present state campaign by the young men. both of the cities and tho counties of Pennsylvania. Mr. Rheatr's career In public lire Is calculated to Inspire the youth ol this commonwealth. The story of his labors as a lad In the great Baldwin Locomotive wori;i in Philadelphia and his subsequent success as a business man, his nomi nation for the state legislature In an Independent district In the Quaker city his splendid record as a lawmaker at Harrlsburg, which led to his nomi nation by the Republican state con vention by a unanimous vote for the office of state treasurer, has been studied by the young Republicans ol Pennsylvania, who have enlisted In the campaign to bring about his election by an unprecedented majority for aa on year In November next. Presidential Battle Coming. The fact that next year will be presi dential year may also account for the Interest taken In the Republican party organization this fall by the younger element. Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, chair man of the Republican state commit tee, reports that the chairmen of the several county committees And that great Interest Is being taken In na tional politics this year, and that every one is looking forward to the coming Republican convention. Pennsylvania will have 68 votes In that national gathering, the largest delegation, save one, that will sit In the convention, and the voice of Penn sylvania, as In the past. It Is predicted will again be potential in the national councils of the party. In order that Pennsylvania shall maintain hpr proud place as the key stone of the Republican national arch. It Is recognised by the young men who have rallied to the party colors In the present campaign that the vote at the coming election must show a pro nounced Republican majority. ft Is true that the opposition Is de moralised, and Is without an Issue. The danger to the Republican forces lies In over confidence and the apathy that frequently follows the absence of an aggressive opposition. The Capitol Grafting Issue. Nominee for treasurer. Mr. Sheati, has reason to be proud of the ovation given him here this week by the club men gathered from every section the state. While In this city. Mr. Sheati had several conferences with Governor Stuart. They talked over th state caoltol graft cases. It is recognized that tho Democrats lost their only Is sue when Attorney General Todd pro ceeded against the men who were named in the report of the legislative probers as responsible for the looting of the state treasury througn irregu larities attending the construction of the capltol. With the knowledge that the pledges of the Republican party are being ful filled, and that after the thorough probing of the capitol Job. the Re publican state administration Is pro ceeding to prosecute all who had a hand In the affair, the Democrats are absolutely deprived 9' an opportunity to play the rapltol scandal to adrsuce their political Interests.
