Since the beginning of their cam paign in Pennsylvania the men at the head of the so-called insurgent reform movement, have not had administered to them such a scathing and timely arraignment as was given in a speech by Lincoln L. Eyre at West Chester last week. Mr. Eyre's address was one of the most striking and forcible made in the present canvass lor the Repub lican ticket and was especially signifi cant on account of Mr. Eyre's reputa tion and standing among the true and sincere reformers, who, while Repub cans in national politics, advocate non partisan government in municipalities. Mr. Eyre rigidly adheres to this idea, but he is disgusted with the methods and the actions of certain men in Philadelphia and elsewhere, who are using their positions in reform organi zations to further the personal schemes and ambitions and to advance the Wanamaker-Martin, Flinn-Guffey po litical interests. "I warmly welcome the opportunity afforded me to say a few words," said Mr. Eyre in his West Chester ad dress, "on the important issues that confront the American people at this critical moment of their history. I also welcome the chance to say what I believe ought to be said plainly and fearlessly upon the equally important issues that have arisen within the state. These issues have been forced, especially of late, upon the mind and conscience of every Pennsylvania Re publican. They threaten the very life of the party in the state itself, and they serve as a standing menace to the maintenance of Republican policy throughout the Union. I am proud to be enlisted in the Republican army. I am proud to stand up with my Re publican comrades at* the roll call of the Pennsylvania lagions. BORROWED GARMENTS OF RE FORM. "Now that the thundering tread of the advancing hosts is heard from county to county throughout our grand old commonwealth, Philadelphia regiments will find me marching with them ready to assist in crushing not only the enemy that advances toward us in the open field from Kansas City, but the still more dangerous foe that started out from Philadelphia, falsely masquerading in the borrowed gar ments of reform, lurking behind every tree and seeking, in the name of re form, to shoot down Republican men and Republican principles. "Coming to you from Philadelphia, which is today in certain quarters the hotbed of party treachery, I know something of the conditions that pre vail there, and I know that true re formers and true reform principles have been taken into camp by a band of political self-seekers, who are will ing even to imperil the safety of the Republican party at large, in order to accomplish their purpose of obtaining control of the executive and legisla tive functions of the state. THE PEOPLE OF PHILADEL PHIA HAVE RECENTLY SHOWN, IN NO UNCERTAIN WAY, THAT THEY WILL ACCEPT NEITHER HYPOCRITICAL PRETENSE NOR THE METHODS OF THE lIAR GAIN COUNTER. "They have found out first how re spectable are those who call them selves 'eminently respectable.' Never in the history of Pennsylvania poli tics has there been inaugurated— starting from Philadelphia and spread ing into certain other portions of the state—such a wholesale movement for the purchase of votes with cash, such hideous political debauchery, as has been witnessed during the last few years. And aft of it—God save the mark—done by the hired agents of the 'eminently respectable business men'of Philadelphia In the name of reform, in the name of purity and saintliness, in the sweet odor of sanctity, In the name of patriotism! REFORM SLAIN IN HER TEMPLE. "As a Republican I am here to add my protest against this outrage. As a reformer, believing In the necessity for the separation of our large cities from national or state politics, in or der that municipal government may be honestly and efficiently carried on, I denounce the band of unscrupulous schemers who have slain the sacred cause of municipal reform in her own temple. "The Issues that today confront this, the greatest government reared by man. are pregnant with supreme im portance ll,< y Involve the contin uance uf commercial prosperity, the development uf constitutional liberty within our own borders and the free gift of American civilization to other races of the world. "The right of the Republican party to a continuance In power has beeu proved by 'the arduous greatness of things done.' " IV lull II mil Mrai! lor UcpulillraH In lull- .Ihmluil Ttii'lr I'urly Soiul um For Ibr Nlulr l.i-nUlwturr. Governor Stone is a stalwart among stalwarts, and In a speech at Couders port, l'otter county, a few nights ago, In* paid his respects to the meu who an* engineering the movement to de feat Republican candidates through tuxloti with "i' DtHMftU "I believe," said Governor Stone, "that the thlugs to talk about lu a political campaign are the things the people are thinking about, ami in this tuuutv and lu sotue other comities or the state there is talk and thought over fusion. I am not here to criti cize or question the motives of any who, failing to secure a nomination by his own party, accepts a nomination by the Democratic party unfl tries to defeat his successful op ponent. lam here, however, to speak of the effect of such action. "Whenever the fusion candidate is a Democrat he will necessarily get all the Democratic votes and some Repub lican votes. The Republican votes are so much gain to the Democratic party. When he is a Republican, should he be elected, it is necessarily a Democratic victory, because a member of the leg islature, running againßt the regular nominee of his party, loses necessarily all connection with his party in caucus and committee. "While fusion is possible in some counties at the election, it is utterly impossible in the legislature. If it were possible to have a majority of Demo crats and insurgents in the senate and the house it would be impossible to fuse upon speaker of the house and president of the senate and the forma tion of the committees without an agreement on the part of the insur gents to vote finally for a Democrat for United States senator. "The Democratic leaders are not in this fusion movement to reform the Republican party, and they have not gone into it except upon assurances that there will be no coming together of the regular Republicans and insur gents. They have no desire to see them come together. They believe that a house divided against itself cannot Btand, and they do not want the Re publican party to stand, and they nat urally will do all they can to keep the Republican party divided against it self. DEMOCRATS FOR A DEMOCRAT. They are in this movement to secure the election of a Democrat to the Uni ted States senate, and if they can se cure a majority of Democrats and in surgent Republicans who will not abide by caucus action they may succeed. ANY REPUBLICAN WHO CON TEMPLATES VOTING FOR FUSION LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES MIGHT AS WELL UNDERSTAND THAT HE IS VOTING AGAINST THE REPUB LICAN PARTY AND FOR A DEMO CRATIC UNITED STATES SENA TOR. What kind of Republicanism is it to vote for McKlnley and then vote for a candidate for the legislature who will vote for a Democrat for United States senator? Without a Republi can senate McKinley's hands are tied. If the Democrats were sincere in this matter they could have ended the dead lock in the last legislature at any time by voting for a Republican for United States senator. But they are not sin cere, and they will deadlock the legis lature again until such time as the insurgents will co-operate with them for the election of a Democrat. I think the people have had quite enough of deadlocks. "If the-fuslonlsts succeed there will likely be another of long duration, for adjournment will not break a deadlock In the next legislature. The senate of the United States having refused to seat the appointee of the governor, it will be his duty to convene the legisla ture in extra session if they adjourn without an election. You cannot blame the Republican majority for adhering to their caucus nominee and the delay arising over a prolonged deadlock must be upon the insurgents and those Re publicans who vote for them in No vember. "The legislature will be largely Re publican, and a Republican senator should be elected, but if the majority cannot name the candidate in caucus how can it be brought about? It can best be done by the Republicans voting in November for their own reg ular candidates and turning their backs upon fusion." Governor Stone did not mince words in a speech made at West Chester, in which he scored the subsidized newspapers of Philadel phia and defied them. In this speech the governor, among other things, said: "The Republican senators and members who will not support their caucus nominee can never vote for a Democrat for United States senator under any circum stances. The most rabid insurgent county in the state will not stand that, unless It is a mere bouquet thrown when they know there will be no election. The Democratic leaders cannot afford to vote for a Republican for United States sena tor. They will be advised to do so on the grounds of public policy by so-called leading Republican news papers in cities of the first class, but DON'T THEY KNOW THAT THE SO-CALLED LEADING RE PUBLICAN NEWSPAPERS IN CITIES OF THE FIRST CLASS HAVE LOST THEIR INFLUENCE AND THAT IT IS SURE DEFEAT FOR ANY CANDIDATE WHOM THEY SUPPRORT? "DON'T THEY KNOW THAT THESE PAPERS WEAR EACH DAY THE 1.1 VERY OF THEIR MASTER; THAT THE PEOPLE HAVE DISCOVERED THAT SIX OF THEM SPEAK ALIKE AS ONE VOICE UPON ALL POLITI CAL QUESTIONS AND CANDI DATES? "DON'T EVERYBODY KNOW THAT THEY ARE SUBSIDIZED AND COWED THROUGH FEAR OF LOSING THEIR FULL PAGE ADVERTISEMENT AND THAT THEY HAVE NO COURAGE LEFT EXCEPT TO ARI SE. VILI FY AND SLANDER THE POLIT ICAL OPPONENTS OF THEIR MASTER? "The people arc growing inde pendent and fearless of these papers, and don't care what they suy. So far aa I am concerned, having lived under their abuse so long without any Just cause, I am curious to see what they will say when they have a grievance, and I Invite comment upon thla part of iny speech."

No American citizen will be willing to admit that the United States have been whipped by a few thousand half sav age Malays nor to yield to them prop erty for which we paid twenty millions of dollars, and which has been water ed by the blood of our brave soldiers, unless it Is to the manifest interests of all concerned that we should do so. "Ours Is a warlike nation sprung from the loins of a warlike ancestry. The hustings may resound with angry clamor of discussion leading to or away from war, but when at last the bale fires are kindled and the battle ban ners wave and the war drum beats, the old Viking blood bounds again, and men of all our political parties and of all shades of belief take arms to fol low th» military party or policy or leader. "A war party has never been defeat ed in this country, and no successful party dare be a peace party after its success at the polls. The colonial war, the revolution, the war of 1812 and the American war were merely the bloody baptisms of an Infant nation. The civil war was the trial of its strength and manhood, but when occasion ar rived for the difficulty with Spain God elected this country to enter the parlia ment of nations to participate in Its armed debates. "It is not necessary to recapitulate occurrences so recent that they passed under the scrutiny of our very young children, whereby we became the bal ance of power in the measurement of the strength of the world. The treas ure and tears and blood of the last two or three years have been precious seed, and the next generation will look far and wide over the world and be hold Its rich and ripening fruit. "I was not in favor of the acquisi tion of the Philippines. To me the game did not seem worth the powder. A coaling station, a shipyard, a few mlleß of territory easily fortified around a good harbor seemed to meet our requirements. As a member of the peace commission 1 would have voted against the purchase, but when the treaty was presented for ratification and there remained but to sustain (he commission or return to war and chaos, as a senator of the United states I gave it my support.
