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>
<ltitv in good faith. Witbin th**
hour I have unexpectedly received the
following letter
"At a meeting of the representatives
of the Bourse meeting held this morn
ing the following resolntion-i were
Resolved That in view of the
means employed by the Republican
Stat organization in the election of del
egate* in the interest of one candidate
and the control of the convention by (
machine methods with the obvious re
suit of defeating rather than register
ing the will of the people, we respect
fully request you not to permit your
name to be voted for by the said con
vention, and further, be it
"Resolved That we request all dele
gates friendly to you to vote for Charles
W. Stone.
"It is plain, therefore, that I cannot
consent to L>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 IH<J6.
and approved by the people at the last
Presidential election.
Second—We declare our emphatic ap
proval of the wise and patriotic course
of the President and Congress in the
present war. We appreciate the high
statesmanship which led the President
to resort to every honorable means to
avoid the necessity of a war with Spain.
The Conditions prevailing in the Island
of Cuba under Spanish control had be
come seriously injurious to our impor
tant commercial interests, and the suf
fering, misery and death occasioned by
Spanish ciuelty and barbarity had in
curred a sentiment of resentment
among the American people, who can
not help but feel a generous sympathy
with people so near onr own border.
The destructior of the Maine by Span
ish agencies in the opinion of the peo
pie, demanded atonement, and our nego
tiations with Spain clearly developed
the fact that but one alternative was
left to the United States, that Spain
should relinquish her sovereignty over
that island, and that the freedom of
Cuba should be recognized. With these
purposes in view we demand a vigorous
prosecution of the war to a successful
conclusion and we pledge our earnest
support to the President of the United
States in whatever measures he may
deem necessarj.
Third—We rejoice with the people of
the Nation upon the brilliant record
which the American navy has made in
the present war. The splendid victory
of the American fleet undei Commodore
Dewey at Manila has not been rivaled
in the history of naval warfare; and our
people have such confidence in the brav
ery, skill and efficiency of the officers
and men of our navy that they confi
dently look forward to equally brilliant
victories in Cuban waters. We demand
that the National government shall, as
rapidly as possible, increase and build
up our navy, so that we shall be at all
times prepared to meet the necessities
of our National defence to protect our
merchant marine and our arrowing for
eigu commerce, and with the same ob
ject in view we demand that the Nation
al government shall provide adequate
coast defence upon our seaboard of the
Atlantic and Pacfic oceans. We con
gratulate the State upon the promptness
with which Pennsylvania filled the
quota required by the National govern
ment with trained and efficient volun
teer soldiers. Our people will watch
the career of the Pennsylvania volun
teers with absolute confidence in their
patriotic desire and ability to uphold
the honor and dignity of the State of
Pennsylvania.
Fourth —The Republicans of Pennsyl
vania reaffirm their adherence to the
doctrine of protection to American in
dustries. Two y*ars ago our mills were
closed and our manfacturing. commer
cial agricultural and business interests
were prostrated To-day our mills are
opened, labor is given toll enploymeni t
and a general revival of industrial ac- I
tivitv promises renewed prosperity to
oar State We reaffirm the declaration ;
made in the last Republican National j
platform in favor of the constniction 01
the Nicaragua canal. We believe that
the present war ha? demonstrated l>e 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

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.

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'.' What was the meaning of the
Kreat asset.' lag.; «3f people, like this,
day and throughout ttie com
monwealth. the earnest, forceful ex- |
.cut * we:'. f the old and 'rue. but
r.ot new style. Republican press in our
wn and other st;.t« ■=. counseling Penn
sylvania Republicans to caution, and
pointing out d-ng, rs if slate and ma
chine methods were this year persisted
in?
The ci.nv n:i. o has coine and gone.
What diJ it co? lJx<»:tl> .v hat it v. ant
ed to do, and all the time doggedly
meant to do. exactly v. h:ti public senti
ment. never before more crystalized,
aski d and urged it not to do. Who has
it served'* The bosses, and the bosses
only, and tiuir tctainers. Who are its
candidates? 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.
