THE STATE CONVEN' TION The work of the Republican State Convention, in session in the Harris burg Opera House last Thursday from 10 00 A. M. to 4.00 P. M. can be sum marized in a few words— "The candi dates selected or 'slated' by Quay, An drews & Co. were put through. The only sensation of the session was the withdrawal of John Wanmaker. whose manly letter was listened to in tently. All of Wanamaker's delegates went to Charles W. Stone, who would have been nomiuated but for broken pledges and faith not kept The first ballot on Governor stood Charles W. Stone 163. W. A. Stone 198; and W A Stone was declared the nom inee. An effort to make his nomination unanimous brought out a storm of noes. Newton Black seconded the nomina tion of C W. Stone, and made a short but good speech. The action of Jas. C. McClymonds one of our delegates in voting for W. A. Stone was a complete surprise to ins associate delegates. He met with them Wednesday morning and at his sugges tion they agreed to support C.W. Stone, though one of the delegates preferred Wanamaker. They next saw him in the convention, and a few moments after he voted, he left their company. Bnt five minute speeches were al lowed in nominations for the balance of the ticket and the work was .quickly done. Henrv Hall wrote for the Pitts burg Times. The selection of the l>al ance of the ticket was attended with little interest. Many delegates left as soon as the Governorship was settled, and a great deal of the voting was done by proxy. Gen Gobin was nominated, but Senator Grady, of Philadelphia got a good vote, and Richard E. Cochran, of York, an out and out anti-Quay man, had 32 to his credit. Gen. James W. Latta. for Secretary of Internal Affairs, and W. W. Porter, for judge of the Superior court, were nominated by acclamation. Ex judge J. J. Henderson, of Crawford, another victim of the Andrews gold brick game, was not named for the lat ter position. Representative W. C. Arnold, of Clearfield, not 148 votts for Congressman-at-large. Philadelphia and Allegheny stood by him manfully, and his district, with the votes of quite a number of C. W Stone men, ran him up to "a very respectable showing. Grow and Dayenport were on the slate, however, and were nominated by good majorities. Then the convention adjourned It had been intended that Col. Stone should come before it to express his thanks, and h;s speech had been given out to the press, but the convention seemed to take his gratitude for grant ed and waited for ho more oratory. The work had been done and there was no use talking about it. Penrose was Temporary Chairman, and in his speech lauded the party for doing things that he and his gang had opposed Frank Wheaton of Wilkes Barre was Permanent Chairman. The convention at 4:15 p. m. adjourn ed sine die without giving the candi dates an opportunity of presenting themselves. The candidates and Chairman Whea ton met after the convention and re elected John P.Elkin, of Indiana, chair man of the State committee. Mr. El kin will arrange a reception for the can didates at State headquarters in Phila delphia, at which they will be formally notified of their nomination. What C. W. Stone Said. Representative Charles W. Stone was seen the night after the convention and in discussing the convention and its re sults, said: "Up to 6 o'clock last night we had our fight won and won honorably. There were 199 delegates ready to cast their votes for me, but Senator Quay came down here and put on all the force and pressure that fie could exert, with Uje result that before morning he succeded in drawing away 23 delegates who were favorable to our cause. My statement that was given out for publicalion last night, predicting my success, was fully justified by the number of delegates who had promised to give me their sup port, and if Senator Quay's influence had not been exerted as it was, I would have been the nominee. Not only did we have the personal influence and pres ence of Senator Quay against us, but the entire force of the party organiza tion, as represented in the committee, was also opposed to us. I want to express my heartiest thanks to the Wanamaker delegates for their support. Their attitude showed that Mr. Wanamaker sincerely tried to nomi nate the man in whom they believed the people had confidence Indeed, my thanks are due to all the men who, without regard to partisan feeling gave me their support. The attitude of the Lancaster delegation merits my warm est thanks, while the support of the two delegates from Senator Quay's own county of Beayer was particularly grat ifying. The success of Senator Quay in alien ating delegates pledged to me was shown in the loss of the Lawrence coun ty delegation, a delegate from Bntlar, one from Washington, two from Fay ette and others that it is not necessary to mention here. I made my fight sin gle-handed. I had no machine at my back, indeed, Mr. M A. Myers, the county chairman of Warren county, conducted my campaign practically alone. but for the assistance of the peo ple, as my duties compelled me to re main in Washington. My campaign was conducted fairly openly and honor ably before the people." Senator C. L. Magee expressed him self as follows The action of the convention in nomi nating Col. Stone has not changed my ante-convention opinion that he was not the most available candidate who could have been taken. On the contrary I still believe that any of the other candi dates spoken of wonld have proven to be stronger in November than Col. Stone will be. With the feeling of pol itical unrest that is abroad in the State, the weakness of Col Stone lies in the fact that he was the slated candidate of of the Quay machine. E A. Van Valkenburg John Wanma ker's campaign manager, had this to say: "The machine has purchased a heap of trouble and paid a big price. Two years of unceasing work, with ar bitrarily controlled nominating conven tions, with the use of the Republican State and National patronage, with the free use of millions of the people's mon ey, with the aid of corporations and the active support of Pennsylvania's two United States Senators, gave the ma chine-slated candidate only 1? more than enough to nominate out of a total of 362 delegates. "The 103 delegates comprising the op position is by far the largest number of delegates that eyer dared to disobey the orders and defy the imperial will of Senator Quay in a Pennsylvania Rep ublican State canvention. And this not withstanding tbe fact that one-third of ail the delegates were elected beforu Charles W Stone had an instructed delegate or Wanamaker had consented to become a candidate. '' Wanainaker's Letter. A S. L. Shields of Philadelphia pre- j sen ted a letter from Mr. Wanamaker! withdrawing his name, which was read | by Secretary Rex The letter address- • ed to Mr. Shields, follows. Dear Sir: In the event of my name being presented to the Republican State convention of June 2, I*9B this is to withdraw such nomination and ask that this letter be placed on record contain ing reasons therefor 'I accepted the call of the State con vention representing 8.» counties, held in Philadelphia on FebrnarySnd last, re questing me to become a candidate for Governor. 4 *lt perfectly understood that i did not want to l>e'a candidate and that i would retire whenever it seemed best to do so At the time of my acceptance one-third of the delegates to the con vention had been chosen and members of the Republican organization had de clared their unwillingness to support me if I received the nomination of the convention. Having repeatedly stated mv willineness to go forward as a candi date only until the representatives of the Bourse conference desired otherwise. I believe I have now preformed m> e a candidate before the convention. I uiay however, be per mitted to thank all my friends through out the State, whose goood will I no highly value, for their earnest and hearty support of my candidacy. ''There never has been a moment that I would not have withdrawn if anyone of the five men named in my letter to the Bourse meeting or apy other man of such a type of men had been wekcted for Governor by any representative body of the Republican leaders. Inas much as Charles W. Stone was one of those suggested at the Bourse conven tion, it is most agreeable to me to now express my satisfaction with the recom mendation by the members of the Bourse conference in favor of Charles W. Stone receiving the vote of your con vention. . "I think it proper and fair to take your time to say brief})" that the pro test I have felt called upon to make against the political machine has been made within the party, and against its methods, and not against individuals, except so for as they represented a sys tem of politics. I have held, up to the door of this convention that the Re publican party was wise enough, hon est enough aud strong enough to cor rect any wrongs and abuses within the parjgr. ~ I still have that hope. There is no need for angry controversy. No one man knows it all or owns it all. Inspiration seldom carries for 20 years A man carrying the keys of power by heredity, descent or holding them by cleverness or mental energy, must sur render them when the tired people so demand. "To suffer the political machine to sell for cash the commonwealth's jus tice or retain squatter sovereignty in State or National affairs, is only to kill the politcical party thus indulged. A mighty revolution has set in within this State." Pennsylvania is no longer docile or unresisting to Republican bossism. Unconditional hostility to all machine methods is the loudest war cry within Republican ranks throughout the com monwealtn since the days of the Civil war It is not factional, unfriendly or tinrepublican in me, with my continu ous record as a Republican, thp.t can not be challenged, to speak thus plainly to my fellow Rejmblicans in this hour of great peril to tbe party. There are. indeed, many unwilling to follow fur thur a machine flag. The hopes of tens of thousands of Pennsylvania free men centered upon this convention, j For the convention to seem to be look ing for duty and inventing ways to es cape from the people's will may be car ried once too far. • Unfairly assessed, heavy taxes, extravagant and wasteful legislation and long-continued reckless manipulation of State moneys must surely bring a crop of thistles too large for the Republican party to man age By the judgement of today's con vention upon the last Legislative record and its machine methods, the people will pass judment on the candidates after the convention adjourns. It could have, if it pleased, as firm a me dal from the people as any Admiral Dewey will deservedly get. if it will sink the fleet of politicians who run the State for political revenue only. There are many who believe that unless it does this, and very soon, there will be a great storm to break upon the Republi can party from every corner of the sky. The Platform. The resolutions prepared by Thos. V Cooper and Frank Reeder, and adopted by the Committee and afterwards by the Convention without comment, read as follows. First—The Republican party of Pennsylvania, in convention assembled, ratifies and reaffirms the doctrines enunciated in the Republican National platform adopted at St. Louis in IHe t yond question the imperative necessity I of this canal tor purpt>-es national; defence and for the development of our j foreign and domestic commerce, and we call on Congress to push this work as i speedily as possible We express our.! gratitude to our Senators and to tne ; Congressman of this State for their < i forts in securing such appropriations ; from the National government as will ; insure the final completion of the im- ; provements upon the Ohio, the Alleghe : ny and the Monongahela rivers so j that free slack water nagivation will l>e secured to the people of that great manufacturing and industrial region: ard we demand that the National gov ernment shall continue the appropria tion fo» the improvement of the Dela ware river until its channel shall be of sufficient depth and width to receive the largest battleships and the biggest vessels of our merchant marine into the port of Philadelphia. Recognizing that Western Pennsyl vania is destined to become th» M inn factunng center of the world, we de mand that Congress shall make ade quate provision for the construction of a waterway between the slackwator navigation of the Ohio and its tributa ries and the great lakes, and we expres.- our cordial approval aad pledge our earnest support of the proposed canal connecting the great lakes with the sea board. We reaffirm the declaration in the platform of the Republican party in this State in 1897 in favor of the law re stricting immigration of cheap foreign laborers, who are unwilling and un (jurliiied to assume the duties of American citinship. but who enter into competition with our own American working people. We heartiy and cordially indorse the administration of President Mcßinley. Tue people of Pennsylvania appreciate his patriotism and statesmanship, and have implicit confidence in his ability to guide the Nation at this time. His judicious and patriotic course in the present war has won for bim the ad miration and resnect of statesmen throughout tlifc yprld. The purity of his patriotism and the wisdom of l»i» statesmanship are snch that in the con duct of tbe present war sectionalism has disappeared, and he receives the earnest support of the American people. We commend the wise, careful and ifiicient administration of the State government iu it? various departments, and heartily approve of the tidelitv with which our State officials have tiis charged their dnties The Republican party of Pennsyl vania is in favor of "good roads throughout the Commonwealth and re cognizing that the State should aid in their construction, we recommend such legislation and appropriation of public moneys as may be necessary for that purpose POLITICAL. At Mercer court house Tuesday, Henry Robison of Mercer withdrew as a candidate for Congress, young David son of Beaver was not mentioned, and Dr. Sliowalter was nominated by ac clamation. He was congratulated »ud cheered, and made a ?;ood speech Then he took the train for New Ccsfle ar.l was probably in Washington by nhxt morning. In Pittsburg Tuesday, John Dalzell was unanimously renominated for bis seventh term in Congress. The Democratic primaries m Butler and Butler county last Saturday result ed in a victory for the Guffy faction, and a defeat for the Harrity faction, with the anti-monopoly faction attach ed, or vice versa. If the Democrats have a chance on Governor this year the smartest thing the}' could do, would be to endorse Swallow,and thus take their chances on a Democratic legislature and a U. S. Senator. In Allegheny city and surrounding townships last Saturday W. H. Graham was nominated for Congress—defeating Joseph O. Home. WAR RECORD On Friday last, Lieut. Hobson and six men took the Merrimac, an old co:tl vessel into channel leading to the harbor of Santiago, and sunk her The nine men were taken prisoners by the Span ish, and two were wounded. A shot over the hill from the Massachusetts struck a Spanish war ship, and is said to have killed eight men. One of the leading Madrid pajiers said that Spain was going straight to perdition All the cables leading from Havana were reported to have been cut. On Sunday a remarkable letter writ ten by a Spaniard in Montreal, appeared in print. The letter was addressed to a friend and official in Madrid, and the writer formerly an attache of the Span ish legation in Washington, took a very gloomy view of things. His business in Montreal is to send spies into this country. Capt. Gridley of the flagship < )lympia took sick, and died on hw way houie. On Monday Sampson's fleet again bombarded the forts at Santiago. The insurgents at Manilla attacked the Spanish and, according to report, captured 2000 of theui. Yesterday our fleet bombarded some fortifications along the coast i! 0 miles east of Santiago, and troops were landing there. It was reported from Manila that the insurgents had full pos session of the town. OUR BOYS IN CAMP. Co. E, 15tli Regiment. Camp IfilMtillg.H. CHAUTAUQUA P. 0., LEBANON CO., PA.

We were favored with an interesting and profitable address from each of them before they departed. Sergeant O'Donnell corporal Hepler and clerk Rebbun have been home ou furloughs. When Hepler returned we were surprised to learn that he had left half of himself at home ana the better half at that. We congratu late Mr. and Mrs. Hepler and hope Hardie will be as good a husband as h.' is a soldier and l>e as popular with his wife as with his comrades. We also learn that there is a new little Miss Rebhun in the clerk's family, and that there is a sec ond sergeant O'Donnel. Our baseball team has been defeated by Co., D. in an unfinished game and has beaten F 9 to 5. Before auother week is past we expect to have a good claim to the championship of all the troops here. We had our football out one evening and kicked it about, but the weather is too warm for that kind of sport. We are ail married men now and *>!«»• art* bigamists. because yesterday ea~h man here received a 'house wife from the R»-d Cro-i- Society of Philadel phia.

For dinner Sunday Mrs. Scott mado us some first class : coffee. Mocha and Java, which she bought for us her self. Tuesday—The feature of the day is that each man has to cook his own meals For dinner Monday there were but two pieces of bread per capita and at supper time only one piece, but there was plenty of bean soup prepared at the latter meal so no one went hungry. Naturally there was considerable grow ling because there was not more bread. Some growled at the cook and his help ers, some at, the Commissary, the termaster department and everything else Cook Livingstone arot mad and announced that breakfast to-day would be the last meal that he would prepare. Commeal was issued yesterday instead of bread and all we had for breakfast was coffee and three pieces of tried mush which was very good. At din nertime each man received a half loaf of bread and a piece of raw salt pork. We can get along all right at preparing our own meals if bread or hardtack is issued and not Hour, so wo will not have to bake our own bread. It is now said the troubles have been smoothed over, and the cooks will prepare supper. Jim McClymfcnds was color gaurd yesterday.

Mrs. Z. W Tinker is visiting friends in New Castle CITIZEN. WAMXMAKBPS DVIEWS. . -i Hon. John Wanamaker has not ut toied a word as to hi» future intentions. HU views of the result can best be obtained from the following oxtraet taken trom his speech the 'lay aftar the convention at an immense mass meeting held at Oxford. Chester county, where a thousand people gathered to hear hiiu speak: It wa* as a Republican I east my first vutc in ISSi- 1 never voted any other tit kct since. I was a Republican when I accepted the call of 400 Repub licans at the Bourse conference of Feb. 2. I was not a volunteer in their ser vice because I never wanted to be gov ernor, but as a drafted man X loyally took up the flag. 1 went to the convention yesterday as a stiaightout Republican, and I came hume from the convention a bet ter and more hopeful Republican be cause of the 164 representatives of the people who stood up in convention and were counted against the machine. There are two developments of Repub licanism in existence today, the small, but sttoiis body of RapubUcaaim of the I.inco'.n, Grant. Blaine and Harri son stripe, and the other the latter day laints of Republicanism that has grown uj> In Pennsylvania under the Cain »ron-Quay-Andrews dynasties; It is a body composed maily of officeholding politicians p.nd their secret and open beneficiaries. It i* not of the people and for the people, or with the people, but .lead against the people. I( is an oathbound, banded and b.lted machine, pledged to the machine, wholly for the machine, and sturdily against every idea and every man n »t with the machine. NOT WITH THE MACHINE. Hi tte presence of these 700 witneses, in this midday meeting of the cultured, intelligent and important people of Chester county. I record myself anew as not in or t r or with the Republican michine limited, limited to Quay. An drews and officeholdt rs pnd uiflcesevk ers only. That such i political machine should exist today, chartered by the blindness and indifference of the people, is !n special evidence this morning through out the state, from the full accounts given by the newspapers end living witnesses tf yestei day's perfunctory proceedings of the convention at Har lisburg. It is a slick and sly machine, coyly In hiding behind state commit tees, bought candidates to trick coun ties to nominate favored son> for timely transfer a la Connel, Reeder and Coop er, to machine newspaper manufac tured scarecrows, fatcial primary elec tion*. legislative steering committees, piled up promissory political notes, like those in state banks, and printed dyna mite planted with fiendish, Turkish and Spanish malice by adroit political en gineers out of sight, like the treacher ous mines in Cuban waters, to destroy human life. It is an lneenious machine; It dis course* music in the nil, poatoffice tunes, collectorsliip «olos, state ticket quartette:', county ticket choruses; it plays on slates, on Sunday? by the sea, gubernatorial anthems, and culminates in the grand spectacular performances of red fire and brass bands at Har rlsburg, with the brass bands of poli tics sufficient. perhaps, to hold fast the Kuuty footbound people, but cannot make the rank and hie of the younger nnd coming party dance either obedi lme or votes to its old worn out airs. It Is an automatic machine; you set it for a stone; it plays the stone you set it for. and there is certainly a great difference in stones. It is also at times a nickel-in-the-slot machine, receiving assessments or fees, and holding them until the day of ac counting without registering your weight or will, and refusing to return the paid in charges. You put in your substances, your service, or your vote, and the machine receives it, but is deaf, dumb and blind, especially after the service Is done or the vote given. One of the nlckei-in-the-slot machines recently opened in one of the cities was found to contain nickels, wire, tacks, hair pins, buttons, buckles, bones, nails, sticks, postage stamps, strings, poker checks, railroad tickets and stones. When the June 2d Republican nickel- In-the-slot nominating convention ma chine is opened in November next it may be found to contain a stone that has been a millstone for us. IS NOT DISAPPOINTED. I suppose that there will be some people ready to say Wanamaker is talk ing like a disappointed candidate; kind ly save your free criticism and unnec essary sympathy, most willing but un thinking gossiper. I wish you could have slept the dreamless, luxurious sleep I tumbled into last nleht with that convention behind me. One wants to knit up the tangled sleeves of care with refreshing sleep to be strong for the next duty. I would Ilku to have the whole of this gorgeous June day to roll in the grass and revel with the daisies atid buttercups. Where is the man that can say I ever asked him in or out of con vention to vote for me for governor? There are two men I was hard against for governor; one was W. A. Stone, and the other was John Wanamaker; one of them wanted it too much, the other didn't want it ai all. In the fray preceding the convention I simply did what I wanted to do— represent honest Republicans diametri cally opposed to the machine. At the convention I did exactly what I always wanted to do, and had agreed to do, which was withdraw whenever the In terest of the Republican party could be furthered thereby. I ;ame Into the ac tivities of the campaign by request of the Bourse meeting; I retired of my own option and upon my own Judg ment after conference with conferrees. It was a double quick movement when the enemy were in battle line, and intended to spike their guns. You are entitled to know that It was as serted on the streets and In thfr con vention at Harrisburg that Wanamaker could not be persuaded to unite on any candidate, but was holding out for him self. The fact was that no one ever asked me to unite upon either of the old or any of the new candidates; they could have asked me or any one. for the orders had gone out, better be defea!*d utterly than surrender the one and only candidate—W. A Stone. THE LETTER OF WITHDRAWAL. By the letter hastily written while the •invention was listening to the "Star Spangled Banner." the land of the free voter, and the hoire of the brave Re publicans, 1 wrote my hasty letter, un finished when the speech nominating me was going on, .and hurriedly dis patched to throw down a challenge to unit:- in tUe nomination of Charles W. Stone, who up to almost the assembling of the > onvontion had in the conven tion more than enough votes to nomi nate him. Why thev did not nominate Charles W. Stone, and why his votes are said to have been bought away from the plucky hero of Warren, is no mystery, let me also say that even at the con venllon hvur Charles W. Stone could have been nominated If he had bought back his then missing votes,'and I add further that all through the two days preceding the convention I held in my pocket a signed 1< tter offering to deliver to me for cash a certain liumber of votes to Give me a majority in the con vention for any candidate I wanted. I must not fail to add that the Repub lican political machine is an all power ful machine; it commands national and state leverage; It includes In Its run ning gear steam railroad corporations, electric corporations, gas and armor corporations, contractors. Jury llxers, couiv II lobbyists and employes of city departments who go to conventions and vote and make speeches against green horn adventurous citizens who think it worth while to attend Bourse citi zens" meetings. It was indeed rather a sc.rry sight and sound to see and hear a Philadel phia boss as old as the Leeds-LMsston- Kowan combine, indeed, the oldest of them, slapping in the face 400 business men whose candidate was in order In carrying out their instructions; pity a resolution had net been offered th»-re excluding letters from absent candi dates and uncertain voters generally. This political machine with all its newest patents and attachments Is best operated by its inventors. The senate of the United Stat's must do without two nf them when the war revenue bill Is up In the senate, hurry away to Har risburg to see that the machine does fa* *et "it >f rd> i until the tout. is finished, and to play the Punch and Judy ' of politics to the farmers of Pennsylvania. SITUATION IS SERIOUS. My friend.- it would be delightfully ridiculous If It was not also serious We might be quite willing to be amused, to bp taken for light headed. I half witted. unsophisticated clodhop pers of city and country were It not that the consequences are ail trcmend- i cusl> fraught with evil. What do you and I care who Is gov- < ernor if he be a man that owns him- j self and can be certified as hone.-t. in- • telllgent and guaranteed for fidelity to the people and not to any one man or a dozen men of the political machine , now built or to be built hereafter'.' What was the deliverance at the Bourse conference but a heartfelt, man ly Republican appeal, and notice of d»- termlii-d and continued protest against the Quay-Andrews machine? What was the three months' long, earnest, laborious, enthusiastic, fruit ful crusade In a Jo.: a counties of this state but an unfolding of the reasons why the political machine can no long er command support for long slated, boss marked machine riveted candi dates'.'

Their chief is tht back ciioseii manager who shall ope rate the machine for four years, with the power of the governor's office, and his appointees assisting him. Who are the others? Respectable soldiers, hon ored civilians, each to have hold of the hßndles of the political basket, to help to carry it through the crowd and deliver it safely to the machine faher men. THE STATE PLATFORM. What is the platform '.' A confused com pound of mixtures not up to Its credit ed author's. General Bingham's, bright standard; perhaps it was afterward edited or unedited. As It stands It is a reminder of one man's way of tell ing the.time of day who said when the hands of my clock point to 2 and it strikus 11. 1 know it is halt-past 7. The most pitiful part of that plat form is the congratulations to the brewers as supporters of the state and benefactors of the people in relieving them by license fees, saying nothing of the close to a million dollar appro priation to penitentiary and work houses, known to be largely filled by the curse of intoxicating liquors, and saying nothing of the larger blight on families broken up by the business pa raded in that platform, by small two penny statesmanship as reducing and relieving slate taxation. Bear in mind I am not discussing a brewer's or liquor selling business; 1 am speaking of the infantile statesmanship that mistakes the condition of taxation and makes the farmers and al! who live inside the 6tate of Pennsylvania to pay their taxes, a class of charity patients at the door of the brewer and barkeeper. I am also a Republican unwilling to eurrender the Republican party to help any Populistlc. Liberty. Prohibition, Independent or Democrat by Insulting the taxpayers with being dependent on the distillers and brewers. Honestly, where is the man that is thinking all around large thoughts over all the situation and not a small patch of the war, or the present situation of politics? I believe I only know one in the country, and his name is William McKinley; in Pennsylvania I cannot And another, not even by looking into my own looking glass. SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION. Let me shorten today's speech by a brief summary of the situation. The forced nomination of William A. Stone for governor stands for all that Quay wants and for all that Quayism means. The credit or the obluQuy of the nom ination is dearly defined In the special ly selected candidate who is absolutely dependent on the power of the machine for his preferment. The history of this state barren of a single instance in which a candidate, named and elected by Quay, was strong enough to assert official manhood In opposition to the corrupt demand of his exacting master. This boss makes no mistake in the se lection of the agents to execute his Will, and after months of dodging and deceit, of plotting and scheming, he comes into the open and avows himself for William A. Stone in confirmation of the cabal of mercenaries who met at Avalon on that fateful in May. Whatever may be the Individual merit of William A. Stone, it is wholly lost by reason of the corrupt advocacy of hit? nomination by such infamous man agers. From almost every election precinct in the state is heard an earnest pro test against such machine methods, and the deep regret that the arbitrary power exercised at the convention must surely bring Inevitable danger to its nominee. PEOPLE WILL SAVE THE COM MONWEALTH. The outraged people are determined to save this magnificent commonwealth from infamy and shame by rescuing the party from such disgraceful man agement. The repeated charges, unan swered and undented, that this clique ha 3 systematically robbed the treas ury of the state, thwarted and presi dent in maintaining the national honor, speculated In the public funds, fed eral appointments and corrupt legisla tion, and defied public sentiment, fur nish grave reasons of warning when these bosses now seek to extend their power so that the vicious legislation which was defeated by the valorous 78 In lS'Jfi, shall be revived and confirmed by their governor and their legislature in 1599. Honest men everywhere are called upon by imperative necessity as this lawless band In control of the Repub lican party leads another inarch to ward the treasury and its power against the real welfare of the people. My argument is not ended, but must close today by saying your only bul wark against what I doubt not will be worse than the legislature of '97. I mean thereby the legislature of '9®. I came here today expressly to ask you to give your votes to W. M. Dow dell and for the three true men, your neighbors and trusted friends, Jef freys, Phillips and Moore, who were tried lr. the lire of the last legislature and came out unburnt by fraud and dishonor. Keep your county right In the next legislature by sending these men back again. To wait for some other time to strike a blow at the machine is haz ardous in the extreme, to strike now at the first election at the primaries is the duty ot the hour; strike while the iron is hot. and make it hotter by strik ing. Prospect ami Proximity. Be sad or glad to hear: A. W. Shannon, of Isle, and J. I.
