'1 here is no use in wrangling over this question. We say that Edward G. Rogers is recorded as absent and not voting on the consideration of at least 20."> fills, measures or motions which were considered by the House. We Miy that 17!) of these were bills on fi nal passage, and the other votes on vetoes by the Governor, motions to indefinitely postpone, or amend ments offered etc. We say the Leg islative record proves the above state ment. We will put SIOO in the hands of Thos. K. Kennedy if Scouten will do the same. We will appear before !•:. J. Mullen Esq. and John H. Cro uin Esq. and if we do not show by tin* Legislative record that Rogers did not vote as above stated, Mr. Kennedy shall give Scouten our SIOO. If we do show it Mr. Kennedy shall give Scouten's #IOO to the William sport Hospital, as we do not want any of the "grease" Scouten has scraped out of the candidates pockets. The above is a plain business pro position. Scouten says we have lied, we say lie himself is the liar, and our SIOO says the same thing. C >me now John put up, or stop call ing us names. As we do not want this proposition to lie a subject of dispute until after election Scouten must accept it be fore Monday, Nov. 27, and have bis money in Mr. Kennedy's hands be fore tiiat time. Scouten's paper has at its mast head the following: For Lieut-Governor, Geo. W.Guthrie, George Wilkins Guthrie of Alle ghany, Democratic Candidate for Lieutenant Governor is the man who said "men have been hung for mur der on weaker evidence of the crime than exists against members of the legislature of bribery in connection with the franchise bill." it was that gentleman who said also "Every in telligent citizen in the Common wealth believes that bribery was used in the passage of that bill." He said further in the same speech "The so called Democrats who were in the Legislature and were parties to these corruptions all have been condemn ed by the constituencies they have betrayed, so strong was the convict ion in the minds of the people that they had forfeited all claim to pub lie contrdence." Now we ask Scouten to tell us if Candidate Guthrie is telling the truth when he says that Democrat members of the Legislature forfeited all claims to public confidence when they voted for the franchise bills? Our member of the Legislature was Mr. Edward G. Rogers. I It was a Democrat, lie voted for the Franchise bills. Tell us, John, if after that he can be trusted, i >nt in Mr. Rogers case there is other ev idence to be considered. When the bills were called up the Democrats offered amendments to kill it. They were lighting it as a party measure. Edward G. Rogers voted for the ffrsttwo amendments. So lie was then opposed to the bill. Rut wh 11 the third amendment was offered we find in Scouten's famous supplement that he is marked "absent or not vo ting," and after that by the same au thority we find he voted "Nay" on the other amendments and "Yea" <>n final passage of both bills. This is his record. Guthrie says bribery was used to pass these bills, he says Democrats who voted for it should be condemned as not entitled to public confidence. Has Mr. Rog ers any explanation of his change of mind and his vote? We shall be glad to hear it. Will he tell us what little bird whispered in his ear when the third amendment was up for consideration? Will he tell us what was the message that caused him to change his mind? We can assure Mr. Rogers that we do not ask these questions in a spirit of levity; it is a very serious matter that such grave accusations should tie made against him by the Demo cratic leaders. The people of Sulli van County who sent him to llarris -I)Urg two years ago have a right to know if lie has betrayed their trust. If 11 member of the Legislature ad vocates measures on the floor of the House he can be of some use even if lie does not vote. As Mr. Rogers failed to vote at all on at least 25!) measures before the House, weturn- M1 to the index of the Legislative Record hoping to find that he other wise distinguished himself. This is what we found in the index. Rogers, Edward G., member from Sullivan County. Asked leave of absence tor himself, I'age 738. Presented petition in reference to equal taxation. Page, 1239. Presented petition in reference to equal taxation. Page 1239. Presented petition in reference to road liills. Page 1380. That is the whole thing, lie once isked for leave of absence, he hand ed three petitions to a page to carry up to the Speaker's desk. The rest we know, he was absent or did not vote when 258 important question were being considered, he voted for the boodle franchise bills, he voted to increase the number of Kill em ployes, he voted against the bill to prevent the pollution of the streani.- und he drew his salary, mileage, postage and other perquisites. Do the voters of Sullivan county think he ought togo back? All readers of the Philadelphia Press well know that it did not fa vor the re-lection of Senator Quay. Chas. Emory Smith, its editor, has not been called a Quay man, and yet lie is on the stump for the Republi can ticket. In his speech at Will iamsport last week he said: "The distinguished Democratic candi date for (iovernor was liere a few davs ago atid I am told lie did me the honor of giving me some personal attention. He quotes some utterances from"The Philadelphia Press" and expressed great surprise that in view of its declarations I could appear in this campaign advocating the election of the Republican ticket. It is true that the words which lie quoted were not written by me, but that was so slight a circumstance that he altogether overlooked it. But Ido net skulk behind any shield. If I had written what Mr. Pattison quotes, as I did not, I should none the les6 be here to-night to urge my John D. Reeser's Big Store Bank Block, Dushore, Pa- John D.
