The right of every Republican is to vote as he thinks l»est. We ar - inform ed that the Standard Oil Company lias a lot of straight Quay ticket* printed and one of its agents is put ting them into the hand", of it - employ ee§ with the admonition "l'< vote that ticket." Is this a free country, or are we going to b-a lot of serfs? Every Republican to whom such a ticket is of feral should resent it. Make up your own ticket, as your conscience dictates, vote It, then what, the majority say# goes. Its only when force and fran«l are used that dissensions in our rank l H; follOW. TIIK EA<;LK AND TIN; IHMI »:. The Eagle recently, tinder the head ing "The Issue Involved" makes a very unfair, misleading and dishonest refer ence to our last, members of the legiHla ture. Thomas Robinson and the Eaters who are pii able, like putty, willing to let the liossei ani ■ inson, a very grave olTwis-. \\ nsi were the conditions that lid Hit;, si tlepublic.ans toopposi Quay s re elect ..1 to the IT. s. Senate? The Eagle won tell its readers, for that would be trivin the people the truth, and th •» 1- what 1 wants to keep av. >y from its v .<• this matter We endeavor t» gi ti facts with the hope that "> ! t! Eagle's readers may get to l.i ~ After the Peoples Bank of PiuiadeJ phia failed and the Cashier had killed himself, the banks affairs were taken in charge by the court through a Receiver, and upon examination of the books, papers, etc. of the bank, and of the late <\ >b ; er ••main incriminating evident-.• against Quay and others was found, that the District Attorney, in the per fonnance of his swum duty, considered should be laid before the Grand Jury. In due time the evidence was presented, and after hearing it. the Grand Jury fonnd five true bills against Mr. Quav and others for conspiracy to use public money unlawfully." Mr. Quay through the papers announced, "he would not gratify his enemies by asking delay in the trial of the cases. This was in Oc tober 189*. The cases were fixed fcr trial at the November Term of court in Philadelphia. When the cases were called, instead of going to trial. Qaay through his attorneys, and he got the best he could, began playing for time. They moved to quash the bills, which had to be argued and took up time. The Court had to take time to consider the objections, and in due time refused to quash, stating tbe bills were good, the charges grave, and should be exam ined into. Quay's attorneys took an appeal to the Supreme Court, which landed the case over till January 7ti when the cases were argued before the Supreme Court, which after due time for deliberation, to be sure they were right, confirmed the lower conn* said the cases were important, the charges grave, and should be tried. The legislature was to m*-t January 3rd 1*99, four days before the casts were to be heard in the Supreme Court. a U. S. Senator was to be elected, the 3rd Tuesday of January. In all cases we know of heretofore, it has been the custom for the legislature to meet, or ganize. and get to work, and a week be fore the time for meeting to elect a Sen ator, call a < ancns to nominate candi be called before, and besides that. Quay has five indictments against him not tried, we don't know whether he is guilty or not, the cases are in the Sn preme Court, and to be heard next Sat urday, the 7th January, let the caucus go over till the usual time, two weeks hence, by that time the Supreme Court will baye disposed of the cases, and it Quay is cleared of the charges against him, we will gladly vote for hirn. This was the position of our members and we ask, could any self respecting man object to this? But Andrews and other heelers, under Qnay s orders, were olxlnrate. wonld not agree to the terms, the caucus must be held that night, and when it was found there would be no concessions, but the caucus pushed through regardless, fifty-six member*, if we remembei the number, self respect ing Republicans refused lo be "bull dozed" in that way. and wonld not go into the prematurely called caucuf; even many who did go in, urged the justness of the request, but weaken ed and went in against what they knew was not right. The proposition wa made to those insisting thfit the caucus he held at once "T,«tllr. Quay i'<> t » trial, meet the charges against him, and if acquitted we will vote for hirn, but we will not vote for a man with five in dictments against him, and he, fighting his Iwst to keep from going to trial, w•■ would Is- in a fine predicament, to vote to elect him Senator, and when tried, if convicted, and sent to the penitentiary, our [>eople would never forgive us for voting for him." All this was of n > avail, the l»or these fifty six members refused to go i i and the rest is history. The struggle i i the Legislature began, and after delay was had l»y Quay fighting th ■ case off front time to tine and other ••anse**, when finally trial was reaehec. after one of the Ho-< l tram* the Eagle is playing for Quay Ii • answer we will say.

THE QUAY TICKET. The Eagle of last week in lining up the candidates says. "The Stalwarts, i or Quay ticket, represent s orderly party government," etc. How amusing this is in the light of the past. The editor ; of the Eagle must have "smiled asmole j at the huge joke he was palming off on his readers. "The Stalwart, or Quay Ticket," stands for Qnayism. which in the light of late developments means, violation of the election laws by his fol lowers, in stuffing 213 ballots in one of the precincts of the 7th ward, Philadel phia. where three Quay election officers by combining together were equal to 213 voters in Bntler county. In two other wards in the same city the sam'e thing was done and some of the election officers are serving terms in the j>eniten tiary, and six others are in hiding to keep from being tried on indictments against them. This is Qnayism. which the "Stalwart, or Quay ticket," repre sents. You can't get away from it Mr. Eagle, the court records show these things, they were done in the interest of Quayism, and the endorsement of Quay means the endorsement of such methods. Will Republicans approve of such things ? "The Stalwart, or Quay ticket, "of the Eagle means that Quay. Andrews, Pen rose, Durham and a few more shall con tinue to meet at Atlantic City or other convenient place and select candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of Internal Affairs and all other State officers. Then call a State Convention, and when the people have been at the trouble, and the delegates at the expense of meeting in an alleged convention, they find nil they have to do is to ratify the choice of Quay & Co. made at Atlantic City. This is what voting for the Eagle's "Stalwart, or Quay ticket means. Is that the kind of Republicanism of Lincoln, Grant and the other real lead ers of the party? We say do away with such boss ism by voting the anti- Quay candidates. Making Good Progress. The cause of decent politics in Penn sylvania is making en'-onraging pro gress. In the primary elections of last Saturday the Quay machine suffered a loss of three in the nomination of can didates for the Legislature out of eleven nominated. These early primary elections were brought on in counties where the ma chine had every confidence in its suc cess. Knap judgment was taken on the Republican people in many instances, the machine hurrying on the election before organization could be effected, the purpose being not alone to secure the nomination, but to make use of the result in sure Quay counties to claim that the machine is sweeping every thing. This prograrne is not working ont with all the red fire that, was intend ed for it. In Home of these counties where the machine has always had its way it, has now suffered defeat, and others have been saved by voting Democrats, non residents anil unnaturalized per- >TIH. This was the fad in Lawrence county, where more than enough «>f framlnlent vote was polled to nominate a Quay candidate by a majority of ninety, where it had been customary to give Quay majorities reaching over 10oi>. Not, only was the fraud committed, but it was confessed by th" refusal of the Qnay committee to permit an investiga turn. In Union county, heretofore strongly Qnay, the ina<'hine candidate secured a bare majority of seventy-one by fraud, and it was also confessed by the machine refusal to permit the charges to be inquired into. Forthe rent of it, four anti Quay can didates have been nominated in districts represented in the last Legislature by Quayites while two Qiia.vites in Mercer county will take the place of two anti tnachine members. In the nominations so far made the net gain fur the Quay opposition is two members. This IH a rate of progress that can lie regarded with entire satisfoct ion by the friends of decent polities and honest elections, and more particularly bee,--.us • the gains have been made in heretofore strong Quay counties. The situation is more than satisfac tory; it is gratifying. It is a beginning which clearly indicatesthe impossibility that. Mr. Qnuv can l»- elected to the United States Henate by the next Leg islature. The Pre*H. The Kllglr and ITilin. The Eagle tries to be very severe on Senators Flinn and Martin in its last is sue because they are a torment to its man Quay. The reason for this severi ty is in the fact that they Vsith helped to pass th-•-act of IMO7 which pats the in fo rest on state money (over flOO.O'iu per year) into tiie stab- treasury, instead of, ns many allege, into tie- coffers of the Quay machine to grease its wheels. If that is wrong then the Eagle lias a right to scream. .Martin has been active in hunting down and landing in the penitentiary the Quay crowd of ballot box staffers in Philadelphia, who have been a strong element in keeping Qnay in power. Il l Republicans want a 15■ >- h who is kept in power by such methods? After forty-five years at the public crib is it not atiout time Quay would retire I .' The Eagb* is for his continuance in office, and we all know why. Let the jieople npc.ik their mind on the ifiicstion at the primaries. .Slop Tliicl. The Eagle reminds ns of the old pick pocket game. When a jiocket has been picked and the crowd get1 after the fel low who did it. to divert attention from himself,points to the front and call out 'stop thief, stop thief." The Quay machine politicians, of which tin- Eagle has '.o long b -i n a supporter, hive been mixed up in • many .hady, disrepnt, able, political matters. when no longer able to hide themselves from an indign ant p>- 'pie, raise the "stop thief" cry. and accuse Senator Flinn of running a very bad p ilitical machine in Pittalnirg. Tin- ICnrd" devotes ;t good deal of 111. t< ntion to him in it 1 last few issues, and the cau-n of its complaint is. Flinn op pistes Quay. Well, what, honest man would not. Y Quay has liccn iu office nlxmt forty live yearn which in anrtdy lonic enough for liny man and bia record well w« would remind onr u« tli»t Mr. Klinn never had to plciid the -tatut.e of limitation* to abut otit evi dun re of iii 4 rlouiKH in pnhlii: mattim, um iU man.

Why Continue Quay's liossism. Quay and a few others have built up the "boss system'' in our politics to such an extent that our state has been a by word among other states, on account of the servility of so many to the Boss. He has his sub-Boss in every county in the state, even our own county ha 3 had a wouldbe l>oss for years. Their meth ods are secret, underhanded, selfish and the interests of the people cut no fig ure at all. When any of our people as pire to office, especially the legislature, for that is the seat of all power, the lo cal IKISS makes it his business to find out the kind of man he is, if he don't al ready know. If a man of some brains and capacity, and a disposition to think for himself, and work for the good of the people who sent him there, and won't take orders from the bosses, when what they want him to do is not for the interest of the people.he is at once a marked man, and every effort is made to turn him down, no mutter what it costs to hire heelers to help defeat him. Then to meet this kind of a fight it costs the candidate more money than it should to make the fight for the nomi nation. What is the resultt Self re specting men, men of capacity, that would make good representatives of the people and look ont for their interests : honestly, can do better by attending to their own business, and the people lose I the services of such men. In this way the people suffer as the result of the boss system we have. The sooner the people get rid of the lioss Quay the sooner his system will fall. If the peo ple want to end it, they can help do so by voting for the anti-Quay candidates for S» iiate and Assembly. A VOTE for "the Bosses candidates is an endorsement of the action of Quay s Governor in cutting a million dollars off the Public School appropriations, thereby increasing our local taxes to that extent. Will we endorse such action. Let all who don't, vote for the anti-Quay candidate. Look Out for Campaign Stories. The Quay emmisaries are resorting to all sorts of bluff and banter in their ef forts to hoodwink and cajole the people into voting for Quay. In the country J they tell that "Butler will be largely j for Quay," in Butler they tell us that the country districts will all go for j Quay, no the people will do well to call their bluff and vote the anti-Quay can didates. As for Butler, the people have j had more than enough of Quay and his local l(Oss, and will show it at the pri maries by giving a good anti Quay ins jority. REITHLICANH, ask yourselves what ureat measure Quay has fathered in liis forty five years of public life that has been of any particular benefit to the people, and that could not have been i done by thousands of others in our | State. We are opposed to keeping one set of men in place all their lives to the exclusion of others equally meritorious. Vote the Jilt I i Quay candidates "Qna> a I'oor Man.** ()ti« of til" biggest jokes of fch< sea-toil is the Eagle's stating "Quay is a |*>or man." My! that almost takes our breath. Quay owns a *100,(100 mansion in Washington City. A 200 acre farm m Lancaster county he is said to have 1 paid 0 per acre for, a plantation in Florida and a Steam launch to take him fishing. A fine property and good part of a bank in Beaver, besides much other ; properly. I'oor Quay (?) lie has our j sympathy. The Kagle should star, a ■ subscription for its poor friend. THE people are very tired of machine J methods and will so declare themselves at the primaries on the 24th. WHV shonld Quay be returned to public life'.' He has hid forty five years of it which is surely much more than his share L"t him retire to his favorite "port in Florida which will give him the rest lie seems to want, then we can send Hon. John f)alz' ll to the Senal • arid have a Senator who will be heard from, and of whom the whole State would be proud, one who will lie a Senator and not a Boss. The Eagle and The Caucus. The Kagle says, "Insurgents are op posed to Republican caucuses bnt in favor of Democratic -ones." That is about so neighbor as we showed yon last week where Andrews, Penrose. Durham and other Quay insurgents in IHli i tried their best to keep Republi cans from going into a caucus on the Apiiortionmcnt bills but could not do it. and it was only when Quay left his senatorial duties in Washington, went to Harrisburg and staid nearly a week, formed an alliance with the Demo crates, that they were able to defeat the action of a Republican caucus. There Mr. Kagle you liaye ttie evidence that your ' Insurgent* don't want Republi can caucti 1 t" unless controlled by Quay. Vm'tiicH can lo >k ont for the usual crop of foolish stories about the anti Quay candtdatm making all sorts of promises, bargain , etc.. but you can set them down as campaign yarns, started for effect the I ist few days of tic campaign, when thore is not time to contradict them. These enndidates are all honorable men, running on their merits, the i- lie is Quay or anti Quay, and it is for the people to say whether or not. they want tliem to represent them at Harrisburg regardless of ram paigu stories. Tit ivtAs It UHN.H'in. the Quay Bois. when our last members of the Legisla ture were in Harrisburg working for the people, complained to some friends, "It was the first time in twenty live year* that he (Robinson) could not as • are our friends on the Hill (Quay and his heelers at the Capital) "that Butler county's memlicrs would lie with them on all matters that they wanted done " What right, has Mr. Robinson to say to Quay that the members from liutler : i county will support all his meastises in | ndvatic of seeing what the bills are, P - ! gardh «of whether it is for the in ten > t !of the people to do so? If Republicai s ; want memlx-i's to represent the people as again.' t tin Bosses vote the anti Qn.ij | candidates. VOTE AS YOU LIKE. have tried to give the people the facts, ant -the candidates who will do the bid- : lates who will look after the interests of • s means the continuance of Quayism, I r politics, for no matter how good their y will be controlled by Quay and his K«-|»iil»lican Candidates. For State Senate, LEVI M. WISE. For Assembly, JOSEPH CRISWELL, FRANCIS MURPHY. For Delegates to the State Convention. IRA MCJUNKIN, W. G. RCSSELL, JOHN F. SHANNON. Leaders Not Dictators Are Fol lowed. The Eagle says, "Nothing makes a party so strong as to give it the support of all its members '' Right neighbor, and .a party will always be strong when there are leaders who have some regard for the rights of others. But when a party comes to be ruled with a rod of iron by a set of dishonest, unscrupulous, selfish, domineering, dictatorial, self constituted Bosses, then the party weak ens, and if not corrected goes to pieces. But we have faith that the Republican party is wise enough,and strong enough, to throw off these barnacles called Bosses, and it will lie done. "THE Bosses candidates" may say what they will about representing the people, but lieing elected by the Quay crowd they can't get away from their master. The same game has been play ed on the people before. Don't let them fool you again. Vote the anti-Quay candidates. WHY is Warren McCreary, of Dr. Robert's congressional campaign fame(?) an employee of the Standard Oil Com pany, riding the county and working so industriously for part of the Quay can didates? Warren don't generally take inch an interest in our primaries What jis at the bottom of it. Voters think it j over. His activity is not for the people's ! good. SHALL the Bosses continue to lie the whole Republican party, or will the people take their affairs into their own hands and get rid of dictators? It is for the people to ,viy. The Eagle anil The Farmers. The Eagle in its last issue camplains ' that. "Many of our farmer friends," are getting some papers free of charge this campaign. We think it a good thing they do, for by that means they get the truth about Quay, a thing they never would get if they read nothing but the Eagle. Don't be uneasy neighbor, the people have been kept in darkness long enough, and now that they are getting a little light they will see how cruelly | they have been deceived. "Turn on the light." j THE Senate by its action shows its in tention of refusing to admit Quay as a . member on Gov. Stone's ap i pointment, and Mr. C,(uay will be no ' more a Senator. This is right, for the people don't want him. He has out j lived his usefulness FROM what we see in the papers Mr. Penrose, our only Senator, Quay's pro tege, made a pretty exhibition of him self in the Senate on the Quay case the I other day. His conduct was more be j fitting a bar room than the U. S. Senate. This is the NIL - man t our friend | Thomas Robins m, of our town, said he I saw so drunk in our State Senate he 1 could hardly stand up, but ho seems to I be the kind of man Quay wants with I him. Is it not about time such dis graceful things were ended? To help end them vote the anti Quay candidates. THE Robinson-Eagle has during the campaign insinuated thfft all persons ' who don't vote for the Quay candidates are not Republicans. What, right has j the Eagle, or Thomas Robiu -8011 either, to say so? Mint a j man to Is; a Republican wear a Quay tag fastened to his neck? Has it | come to this that the honored name, i Republican, of which we are all so | proud, and which signifies so much for I humanity, has to lie prefixed ! by the word Quay, before a man c HI be long to the party ? Such is what the | Quay Robinson crowd seem to think? | will you agree with them ? If not vote the anti Quay Candidates, and you will not have to wear any man's collar. The primaries held in several coun ties of the Stale last. Saturday were on the whole again for the anti (,/uay side Indiana county, as everyone expected, the home of Mr. Klkin, stayed on the Quay side, but gains were made in Cambria, Adams, Franklin and Lnckit wima county, where Quay's speaker of the last House.
