ANSWERING A DEMAGOGUE
delphia branch of the
Business men has issued the following
statement regarding the criticisms of the
organization by Senator Quay:
"Not only the members of the various
branches of the National League of Busi
ness men throughout Pennsylvania, but
the great mass of business men generally
must have been startled at the remark
able language used by Senator Quay.
Never in their wildest moments did
Popocratic orators, in the late campaign,
use language more demagogic and com
munistic in their appeals to the so-call
ed ''masses" against those called "clas
ses." He out-Herods Herod and out-
Bryans Bryan.
' Senator Quay rails against the busi
ness men of America, the men who ral
lied to the support of the Republican
party in 188S; who did not seek to rob
him of any of the glory of that victory,
though without their vigorous co-opera
tion he would have been impotent. What
would have been the result of the re
markable campaign recently closed, but
for the activity of th? business men?
"One does not have to go very far back
however, to discern the reason for Mr.
Quay's dislike of the business men. Only
those ot short memory have forgotten
his bitter hostility to the nomination of
Maj. McKinley for the Presidency and
his own opera-bouffe candidacy for that
high office.
"Notwithstanding his spectacular
flight to Canton, last spring, Mr. Quay
continued his opposition to Maj. McKin
lev up to the last minute, even going so
far as to attend a meeting of the Nation
al committee on a proxy from the Dis
trict of Columbia, accompanied by his
son and by his chief lieutenant. W. H.
Andrews, on proxies respectively, from
Connecticut and Alaska. He fought
through two entire days and nights to
throw ont enough McKinley delegates
to encompass the major's defeat. But
the foundation of Maj. McKinley's cam
paign bad been laid solidly among the
business men of tbe land —and under the
skillful guiding hand of that great busi
ness man. Mark A. Hanna, the schemes
of the politicians came to naught. It is
not to l»e wondered at, therefore, that
Mr yuay entertains such a strong an
tipathy for the business men of the coun-
is remarkable that Mr Quay should
have so suddenly awakened to the evils
of 'millionaire' representatives in the
United States Senate. Was not Mr Quay
alone responsible for the re-election of
Mr. Cameron to the United States Senate
in IS9I, and is not Mr.. Cameron a mill
ionaire many times over? And may not
Mr. Quay be contemplating the election
of Mr. Cameron to still another term?
• Mr. Quay gives utterance to the start
ling intelligence that, the 1 nited States
Senate contains business men enough to
serve all legitimate purposes. There is a
popular impression abroad that this is not
so. Mr. Quay certainly is not a business
man, as, since his election as prothono
tary of Beaver county in 1854, he has
held political office almost continuously.
"Mr. (Juav's bourgeoisie and men in
blouses will be surprised to learn that
the Quay residence is one of the finest
mansions in Washington, costing equip
ped not less than SIOO,OOO, and that he
owns one of the finest places in Beaver,
a farm in Lancaster county, a farm
in Chester county and the fiuest
place in St Lucie Fla., where the distin
guished Senator spends much of his time
in sport and recreation._
''Mr "'.wv's laU e r <]?)>:. fil
TIIC cvTls or money Tn poiiucs wuum uc
rather more -edifying were it only a little
less ludicrous. In his battle for the
State chairmanship in 1895 he enunciat
ed his new doctrine: We decry the
growing use of money in politics; yet
within 60 (lays of the termination of that
contest he told Senator Flinn, of Alle
gheny county that that very campaign
cost him $200,000. Rather a neat sum
for a representative of the bourgeoisie
and the men in blouses to spend in a two
months contest over a State chairman
ship.
"It is true that the business men have
contributed largely to campaign funds,
and in this State never more liberally
than for the list campaign, but with the
assurance from Mr. Ilanna that their
money would be spent legitimately and
not used for corrupt purposes, anil that
the books of the National committee
would be open for inspection of all con
tributors. No one should be in better
position than Mr. Quay to know whether
these ■contributions were used in previous
campaigns to make politics sordid and
corrupt, and if he has such knowledge it
is his duty to give Ihe matter to the pub
lic, so tliat the business men in future
j lie warned against contributing to a
national campaign.
"During the late campaign, about two
weeks before the election, State Chair
man Elkins sent out the following letter
to a number of candidates for the State
Senate and House enclosing checks for
SSOO and 250 respectively: By request of
Senator Quay, I take pleasure in en
closing contribution to help defray your
campaign expenses. While not criticis
ing the rendering of legitimate aid, fi
ancial or otherwise to any candidate for
office, how does Senator Quay's conduct
in this matter comport with his vehe
ment denunciations of the growing use
of money in politic.-*? Said Mr. Lincoln:
Some of the people can be fooled all the
time; all of the people can be fooled
some of the time, but all the people can
not be fooled all the time. Mr. Quay
has fooled some of the people at times,
and all of theni at other times, but he
has reached a i joint where, with his
mask thrown off, he faces an intelligent
public with whom forbearance has ceas
ed to be a virtue. Without declaring
any warfare against him, they propose
that he shall not dictate the selection of
his own colleague, and thus have two
votes instead of one in the United States
Senate.
"The National League of Business
Men is the outgrowth of the McKinley
and llobart Business Men's National
Campaign committee, which rendered
efficient service during the late Presi
dential campaign. Our purpose ii to up
hold President McKinley's adminis
tration and to prepare for 1900. One of
our declared objects is to promote the
election of members of the National
Legislature in the Senate and House of
Representatives who are in sympathy
with this movement and who will dis
tinctly represent the business interests of
the country.
"In furtherance of this object the com
mittee has chosen to indorse a represen
tative business man—one who has had
large experience in public affairs—for
the I'nited States Senatorship in succes
sion to Senator Cameron. Branch leagues
are being established daily throughout
the Commonwealth. Nearly all the
principal towns and boroughs wi'l be
orpani/ed by the lirst of the year, and
then the work will be extended to the
townships.
"By business men we mean every man
who is desirous_of the material welfare
of the country and the conduct of the
government npon business principles.
We distinctly stated in our declaration of
principles that, in our estimation, the
term business men comprises the farmer
merchant, laliorer, manufacturer, pro
fessional men or mechanic; in short we
consider every man who makes it his
business to earn an honest living a busi
ness man. Among our members are
thousands of storekeepers, farmers and
artisans,
"The organization of the new league
has indeed taken 011 the nature of an
uprising of the people. They are de
manding to l>e heard, and to have proper
recognition, and no hysterical outburst
can stay the tide. Canute's protest to
the waves of the sea and the Pope's bull
against the comet were not less futile 111
their purpose than is Mr. Quay's attack
upon the business men of Pennsylvania.
"In striking contrast to Mr. Quay's
attitude toward the National League of
fi'-isiness Men is that of National Chair
man llanna, who indorses this move-
ment in support of sound money and
good government, and President elect
McKinley places hi uself on record in
the following letter .vhich was received
on the very morning of Mr. Quay s def
amation of the business men of the coun
" Canton 0., Dec. 7.
Rudolph Rlankenburg, Chairman Execu
tive Committee, National League ot

By a blunder in Smull's Handbook,
which has run through the publication
for a number of years, many were led to
suppi se that the'electoral college of this
State should have met the first Wed. of
December. This was the time fixed by
an act of Congress passed in 1792, but an
act more recently passed makes the time
of meeting the second Monday of Janu
ary, so that it will be several weeks yet
before the job of electing McKinley and
Hobart has been completed.

Mr. Matthew Stanley Quay, the most

Strong Resolutions.
At a meeting of tbe Business Men s
League of Pottsville, Pennsylvania, the
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted. ,
Resolved, that in the interests of honett
politics and good business methods and to
the end that "this Government of the peo

from the earth," we do hereby pledge onr
selves to aid, by ev«ry honorable means,
the lion. John Wauaiuaker to attain the

made at tbe last election
Resolved, That in Hon. John Wanama

to the business world, and through it tn
the great world of labor, which is the
wealth of tho nation.
Resolved, That his election will meet
with more general approbation than that
ol any other whose name has yet been of

that his past record is a correct guarantee
for the future.
Resolved, That we ("« be hereby earn

And all or nearly al' or the business
men of the town *al>«eriin-d to them.
The contest for United States senator
to sacced Hon. J. Donald Cameron is
growing quite interesting in many sec
tions of the state. In numerous counties
business men's leagues have been formed
to promote the election of Hon. John
Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, Mr. Wan
amaker is eminently a business man, "but
he is not without official experience. He
was P. M. General utider President Har
rison and applied business rules in that
department, greatly increasing the use
fulness of the service. We must have
leaders in political or party organizations
but we do not need bosses. Mr. Wana
maker is a model Christian gentleman
and his election would tend greatly to
breaking up the imperiobs rule of the lat
ter and give Pennsylvania a represantative
111 the United States senate worthy of
the great commonwealth. His election
would also lie in the line of purer poli
tics. —Washington Pa. Reporter.

Theßusiness Men's League Grows
with Amazing Rapidity.
A PEEMANENT OEGANIZATION.
Great Interest Belog Minlfeitod by the
People, Who Recognlie the League w
the Medium Through Which Their In
fluence Will be Reflected.
Philadelphia, Dec. 15. —The growth oi
the national Lieagnc m Bummm Men sur
passes that of any public movemant in the
history of the state. The people are thor
aughly awake to its importance. Even
those who are promoting it never dared to
think that it would assume so much force
in so brief a time. They planned for a
permanent organization, the completion
of which might extend far into the com
ing year, but from the manner in which
the movement has been taken up, i* will
not be very long now before nearly all the
important towns will be represented.
New branches are being formed almost
every day.
During the week the league has im
planted itself in Avondale, Coatesville,
Reading, Allentown, Bedford. Bradford,
Wilkesbarro, Smithport, Kennett Square.
Pottsville, Warren, Muncy and the Ches
ter League, which Includes a number of
smaller towns, has also been organized.
The people are aroused to the impor
tance of the movement. It is indeed a
popular uprising. They see in its prin
ciples the practical application of the
theory so often expounded that political
affairs should be conducted on a business
basis. To President-elect McKinley should
be given the credit for the organization
that is assuming such sway. It is his sug
gestion. He is called upon to make a busi
ness administration and he replies by a
demand for the advice and assistance ol
the business men, and the only proper
manner in which business men can ex
press their opinions and lend their assist
ance is by organization.
It is this that gives every man a voice.
These branch organizations include in
their membership not only the men ac
tively engaged in business, but those who
believe in business methods. It is a fact
that it has been said that every man who
will subscribe to the principles of the
league will be welcomed to membership,
and this invitation is being so readily ac
cepted that the success, the force and the
influence of the new movement are as
sured. The merchants throughout the
country districts, as well as in the cities,
have at last the opportunity to make the
impress upon public affairs that will re
flect their power in their respective com
munities. Without such men the league
would fall of its purpose. The discretion,
the public knowledge and the wide in
formation of such people as these make
them indispensible. They are the bono
and sinew of the new movement. Each
one is an important factor in making tho
leagtie what it aims to be and what tho
president-elect desires it to be. For our
thing stands out In bold evidence, and
that is the incoming president is pledged
to a business administration, and he
has said the business men must lead. He
has said that he could not conscientiously
expect the business men to contribute
their time, effort and money to gain a vic
tory for business methods and sound
finances without the assurance of their
having a strong influence in directing af
fairs to make these results practical. This
Is saying, as strongly as a man in his po
sition could be expected to say it, that he
will rely upon the organized business men
for advice and assistance in selecting his
appointments and in all other Important
details.
The Senatorial Contest.
The course pursued by the league in the
senatorial contest is only an incident. It
has indorsed the Hon. John Wanamaker
because ho is the man who represents the
principles of the organization, but it has
a career before It that extonds far beyond
the selection of tho United .States senator.
The indorsement of ex-Postmaster Gen
eral Wanamaker is in harmony with the
geueral object of tho leaguo, which was
formed after the great campaign for busi
ness principles was won. Now the fruits
of the victory are to be secured. The tri
umph of right and reason is to be pre
served In practical results. The vigilance
and effort which gained the battle must
its advantages. The league is extending
Its permanent organization, as it did the
campaign organization, and it aims at the
broad application of business principles
and ideas in public affairs. It proposes to
address itself to practical and immediate
questions as they come along, and it seeks
to formulato plans and actions In which
business men, meaning all who bolleve in
business methods, can stand together. !
And they will stand together. They are
thoroughly aroused. Their only opponents
are the politicians, who are even now
parceling out the offices, and who do not
like to be disturbed in their pleasajit occu
pation. But they cannot defy the will of
the peox>le, and this is the people's fight;
not for today or tomorrow, but at least
during the administration of President
McKinley, and certainly as long as the
business men will apply themselves to the
cause they have taken up
WANAMAKER THEIR CHOICE.

He discharges public duties, whether iu

Maceo's Death.
It seems to be an accepted fact that Gen.
Maceo. the leader of the Cuban insurgents
has been murdered by the Spaniards.
A letter received by a prominent Cuban
in Cincinnati gives the detailed acoount 01
the assassination of Gen. Maceo and his en
tire staff with the exception of Dr. Zertucha
who was Maceo's physician. The letter
came from a re'iable source in Havana,
but th* correspondent's name is witbheh
for the obvious reason that the writer
would be shot within an hour by the Span
ish authorities if they knew who gave way
the details of one of the most horrible
.«»..ninled 'n modern w »r
ISrST
"From the letter it appears that tba
Marquis of Ahumada. who officiated as
captain general of Cuba during Weyler's
absence in the tield. sent a letter to Gen
Maceo inviting the Cuban leader to a con
ference. Maceo, never suspecting that
treachery was intended. immediately
returned an answer saying that he would
be glad to meet the Spanish General, and
only accompanied by his staff, he went to
the rendezvous, never dreaming of the aw
ful tate that was in store for him.
"On arriving at the trocha. the Spanish
soldieis there saluted the rebel chieftain,
and after reachicg tho rendezvous the Cu
ban leader was surprised to soe, instead of
the Marquis of Ahumada, a large body of
Spanish soldiers, who seemed to come
from every side. The actions of the troops
were so suspicious that Maceo felt that he
had been cruelly trapped and his sn.-pictons
were confirmed when a peremptory order
came from a splendidly mounted officer to
surreuder. 'Never', was the reply, and
hardly h«d the words been uttered when
volley alter volley was poured into tbe lit
tle band of patriots who stuck spurs to
their horses and with cries of "t üba libre,
rode gallantly to their dea'h.
Maceo is reported to have fii'en at the

breaking his jaw. A nother hit him in tbe
abdomen. Both were fatal. Francisco

Mr. Quay is about the last man in the
country to be trusted by the "bourgeoisie

has been affilia ted with the corrupting

"sordid" and debasing to citizenship. He
has been an active leader of the forces of
