Two Republican editors, one from the northwestern section of the state and the other from the east, have just expressed themselves forcibly on the present political situation. ' The voters throughout the state wlio have kept themselves posted upon political affairs of Pennsylva nia." says The North East Breeze of Erie county, "cannot be hoodwinked or misled by this high sounding and misleading title of 'The Union Party.' Voters that have kept in touch with the political movements for the past few years are aware of ths fact that a band of disappointed office-seekers, headed by John Wanamaker, of Phila delphia, have resorted to every means within the reach of boodle and yellow journal falsehoods to bring discredit upon the Republican party of this state. "Wanamaker has associated with himself political soreheads that have been cast oft from the rank and file , of both the Republican and Demo cratic parties. Defeated in every ef fort to procure office, they instigated a movement to besmirch and throw dis credit upon each of the old parties, and their leaders, by using the col umns of their yellow journals, owned and controlled by their $ leader, John Wanamaker. HISTORY OF THE CONSPIRACY. "The history of this conspiracy dates hack to the memorable cam paign when John Wanamaker an nounced himself aw a candidate for tho United States senatorship. Up to this time It was supposed that Wanamaker was a Republican: but be ing outgeneraled and out-voted by Boise Penrose, he took his defeat in a manner that soon develeped the fact that at heart he was a faetionist, and had never been a Republican in reality. "From that time up to the present he and his followers of the worst po litical element in the state have car ried on a political war of the rule or ruin policy, and with a record that will present itself to them through all time as a disgrace to honest politics and the fair name of the common wealth of Pennsylvania. REPUBLICANS WILL TRIUMPH. "We are confident in the belief that all of the candidates of the Republican party, regularly and unanimously nom inated y the recent state convention," declares the Lebanon Courier, "will he ele< :ed in November by splendid ma jorities. despite all the efforts of re creant Republicans to bring about their defeat. "During the course of the campaign the Courier will earnestly and loyally extend its editorial support to the full Republican tikcet. The Courier de fines its position thus unmistakably berause Its owes to its Republicanism, to its large circle of readers and to itself a manly and straightforward ex plosion of its policy. We have noth ing but contempt for the trimmers, the sne.iking, smock-fared, milk-livered Bob Acres of journalism, who fear to speak their drivelling thoughts he cause, forsooth, their opinions might in some quarters meet disapprobation. The Courier has always believed, and believes now, that the only course op«n to a self-respecting, patriotic American citizen and to an honest, reputable American newspaper, is to bear an oi>en and courageous part in all ques tions of public interests —an obligation, and one of the very first obligation of American citizenship. FOR STALWART REPUBLICANISM. "In the course of the next few months we will give frequent utterance to our views of the political struggle which will engage the attention of the people of this state, and will not hesi tate to speak its judgment without mincing any words in the expression of its firm convictions. There are tnoae probably not in great numbers, locally—who will be in open antago nism to the position we have thua plainly assumed—and they will surely be exeroisingonlytheir unquestionable right. This paper will abuse no one because of any possible party affilia tion. If we speak of the motives of the men responsible for the new prou ' A LITTIE l:.-!
