How the state Treats the 1-ocal Taxpayer. Philadelphia, Aug. 30.—"1f Donnel ly says there ever was more than two | policemen at any polling place in my ward he is a liar." shouted ex-Magis trate Jeter J. Hughes, the leader of the Delehunty Democracy, at the harmony meeting here last week. Whereupon Magistrate Donnelly, of | the Ryan Democracy, in a harmonious spirit of repartee and a geographical ly limited sense of judicial dignity, responded: "If 1 had you outside I would punch ' your face." The meeting of which this was a ! characteristic incident, and the meet ing on the same day of Mr. Wanama ker's so-called Business Men's League, j which seems to be an invention for ; pulling the business man's leg, together | with the announcement of an attempt | to make a truck-and-dlcker deal be i I ween the two representative bodies, ! with Dr. Swallow between as the ton i gue of the wagon, made the last week j a Democratic one, so far as news is ! concerned. For whatever is unti-Re j publican, by whatever name It is call ed temporarily, is Democratic, since it is the Democratic party which will profit In the state and nation by every ! vote cast against Republican candl- I dates. Moreover, there Is no longer any con cealment of the terms of the bargain that Is sought to lie made, nor of the stake which each party to the com bine Is expected to throw Into the pot. The Democrats have already, at the Altoona convention, turned their backs on the national principles upon which they fought the last campaign. True, they did not do so without consulting the national leaders of their party, for I happen to know that in response to an inquiry from Colonel Cluffey, as to how far they could go without being cast out of the fold, National Chair man Jones gave him full liberty to adopt or denounce any doctrine as might seem to him good, adding plain tively that he didn't see "the chance for Democratic success was very good anywhere this fall fall anyhow." Nor would they be, in the face of the mag nificent Republican administration which the people are to vote their opin ion of in November, but that the dis cordant efforts of a few disappointed Republicans, who think their member ship in the millionaires' club ought to make them the dictators of the party, and of a serviceable lot of others who are always willing to shout for any body who will pan out for"the legiti mate expenses of the campaign," are enough to give Interest to the situation and challenge every local Kepublican to do his duty. Doctor Swallow, for his share, has already cast into the pot the distinctive principles of the Prohibition party, and is too busy abusing and maligning everything Republican (with the same reckless tongue which brought him to trial in the Wllliamsport conference of his church upon the charge of being both a common and a specific and par ticular liar), to intimate to his hearers that whisky ought not to flow free as water. The sacrifices which Republicans who are asked to leave their party will be expected to make were clearly out lined in Mr. Wanamaker's speech which was received with enthusiasm almost amounting to a tumult among the se lect gathering of 25 people to whom he read It. They are expected to see the Democrats and go them one further: to cast behind them not only their na tional but their state principles: to forget that there are such things as Democrats and Republicans, and to en ter into secret alliance with any and every force which in the past has shown itself hostile to their party or the principles it represents, to the sole end of overthrowing the present lead ership of their party, under which it has won the grandest and greatest victories in all its victorious history. That's all. and with the frankness of a tail that has determined to wag the dog, or wag Itself off a-trylng, they brandish the declaration in advance that the men they hope to elect to the legislature under the guise of R -publi cans will .all bp pledged in advance not togo into the Republican caucus: in other words, not to abide the judgment of the party majority on any party question. Whom they will vote for for governor and the other state positions, and for congressmen-at-large, and for con gressmen in the various districts, they do not say. The presumption is that their Democratic allies have made si lence upon this point a condition of fellowship, leaving the matter open for separate dickering in various districts, according to circumstances. Well, it may lie possible to make people forget all about the war and the tremendous questions which it leaves yet to be settled: forget that there is such a thing as Democracy and Republican ism, and turn ts campaign whose Issues are as important as any in 30 years upon the mere question of how many pasters and folders the legislature should employ, and what it should pay them per day, but the success of the scheme is open to doubt as clearly as Its motives are open to suspicion. It Is said that "Hell hath no demon like a woman scorned." but she Is good company alongside of a disappointed ofllce-seeker. whose wrath would com mand the sun and the moon to stand still until his vengeance was satisfied. Garcia, taking his hungry Cuban ar my to the hills In a pet because Shaf fer wouldn't let him run the town, doesn't compare with these men de manding tht heads of the Republican leaders under whose leadership they were fairly, squarely and completely defeated by the party In their aspira tions for office. It is more like a de mand from Spain that Dewey and Schley shall be not promoted, but dismissed from their commands. Mr. Wanamaker's speech at his lit tle gathering, as a matter of fact, was disappointing, although it was much admired by the city papers, which get from four to six columns of good ad vertising from him every day. It was brilliant and vigorous, bUt it was the brilliancy of the will-o-the-wlsp, and the unprofitable vigor of a kicking mule. It was full -of vituoeratlve abuse of Republican administration of utate affairs, but alleged nothing spe cific, and only repeated in general and more picturesque terms the old and discredited charges for which Dr. Swallow, when he put them in definite form, was criminally convicted In the Dauphin county court. It set up a ghost of dishonesty Instate affairs, and then scared at it, although not one dollar has been tost or stolen from the state treasury by mismanagement or dis honesty In all the years of Republican administration, and it cried out against alleged extravagance and oppressive taxation under which the people are groaning, although not a man In all the state of Pennsylvania, except he has money at interest, pays a special li cense for conducting a particular bus iness, or is a stockholder in a bank, a railroad company, or some like corpor ation. pays one cent of tax toward the support of the state government, di rectly or Indirectly. If anyone will take the trouble to look at the official records he will see that there is only one county in the state, that of Phila delphia, which does not get directly back from the state in appropriations for local purposes, and which goto lighten the burden of local taxation, thousands of dollars more than it pays in, running in some of the poorer counties as high as eight times as much. There are only two counties, Philadelphia and Allegheny, which do not get back more money for common school purposes alone than all that their citizens pay in. The Individual citizen in Pennsylvania, under the leg islation which the Republican party has made, pays nothing as an individ ual toward the support of the state government. The corporation taxes and the special taxes and the license fees upon particular classes of business foot the entire bill, and amount to over $3,000,000 besides, which Is divided among the counties to lighten the bur dens of local taxation. This is the sort of a Republican rec ord which anybody has togo up against who undertakes to make anti-Republi can tight on state Issues. The truth is that the state of Pennsylvania Is not the oppressor of Its citizens, but their benefactor, and nobody is "groaning" under anything worse than an unsat isfied ambition to hold office, or some thing he has eaten that doesn't agree with him There are a good many peo ple, you know, who mistake their In active liver for an active conscience. Mr. Wanamaker's speech was bril liantly composed, however, and as a piece of vituperative English reflects credit on the man who wrote It. "But that." as Mr. Kipling would say, "i» another story." GEORUE H. WELSHONS. WILLIAM H. WOODIX. SKETCH OF THE CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE. William 11. Wootlin, who lias been nominated tor Congress as the Republican candidate for the Seventeenth district, in cluding tli 1 ! counties ot Columbia, Mon tour. Sullivan and Northumberland,comes ot a laniilv not only of that region, but of a family who has made much of that region, lie and his have been actively identities! with the iiinnulacluriug atlairs of I hat |K>rti<>11 of the Keystone Stale. ]lis grandfather, whose name he bears, was one of the creators ol the great car manufacturing establishment that is one of the distinguishing commercial equip ments uf the State. which from a small beginning gives fruitful employment to over 1,500 people. That concern now bears the industrial title of the Jackson A Woodin Manufacturing Company, and its vice president is the new Congressional candidate. Mr. Woodin's lather waw a member of the Twenty-eighth R.'giment, Pennsyl vania Volunteers during the civil war, and his unele, the brother of the nomi nee's mother, is Charles 11. Dickernian, of Milton, who was very near being made the Democratic, nominee in this Congres sional district two years ago. The present occupant ot ihe Congressional station is Monroe 11. Knlp. ol'Shamokiii. a Repub lican, who is so popular in the Seven teenth district, which is controlled gen erally by a I>eiiiocratic constituency, that he has been able to defeat such a strong Simon-pure Democrat as Charles K. Buckaleu. Congressman Kulp has now served two terms and is desirous ot re tiring. Mr. Woodin should carry the district, as all llie elements of ihe Repub lican parly are united in the interest of the young manufacturer. William llartman Woodin was born j on May 27, 1808, in Berwick, where he I received his early education in the public schools. At the age of 14 he entered the preparatory department of Woodbridge School of Mines, New York city, and completed his education at the School of Mines of Columbia College. Returning to Berwick, he made himself master of the practical workings of the great insti tution of which his father was then presi dent, learning the details of the business from cleaning castings to moulding car wheels, later on becoming general super intendent of the concern. He represents the young element of his party and the business interests of the community, in which he figures both modestly and prom inently.
