Yeterenthe calm contemplation that

display of political depravity ; never be
fore was the power of the bribe giver so
nckleasly exercisea, ana, it is sare to say,
never before wore the wishes of the people
of the state so flagrantly Ignored by thoir
publlo servants.
Such were the desperate tactics of de'
pent plotters and, while they proved to
be of temporary advantage, the spark of
rictorr that comes to the people out of the
embers of apparent defoat is that, by its
complete exposure, the villainous abuse of
power will lead to its own uniloing; will
tod to the total political annihilation of
those who practiced It Kopresentutlve
citizens from all parts of the state were in
the city during that turbulent tlmo, and
when they went home they carried with
them new ideas of "practical politics," and
the lesson will linger long in thoir mom

forts to rid tho state of tho dospuilors of
its fair fame.

The plan of buttle Is accredited to Sen
tor Andrews, who was the sponsor and
chief backer of Candidate Ponroso. When
it proved to be the only way In which the
will of thepgople could be defeated Sen
ator Quay gave It his approval. Long ago
It was Inaugurated by sondlng paid spies
to Ingratlato thomsolves with those Inter-
Mted in Mr. Wanamakor's campaign, for
the purpose or gaining and betraying their
confidence. This requires low cunning,
ud entire absence of self respect, and It
will be accepted without reservation that
men who would undertake such work
could not be men worthy of belief. But
ill their lying, all their deceit, all their
base treachery of friendship supposing
men men to be capable of such sentiment
-vailed them nothing, and had no result
re to add to the flame of indignation,
which will lead to a swift retribution.

that would be effectual was too hideous
to attempt Business men who wanted to
speak to their members were not per
mitted to approaoh them. The "heelers,"
as they are called, kept pushing them
way, using as much fore as was neces
sary. That was one scheme.
Some members were locked in their
rooms In the hotel, and before the doors
were stationed detectives to keep the peo
ple away. This Is something for the mind
to dwell upon. Hired ruffians actually
standing guard over elected representa
tives to keep their constituents from ad
vising with them. Where this would not
avail, other mothods were employed. The
members from Bucks county, for instance,
where the sentimont of 96 per cent of the
peoplo was unquestionably for Wana
maker, were kept under guard, this being
carried so far even as to compelling thera
to sleep with their connty leaders, so that
they could not escape.
In other Instances open bribery was re
sorted to. The use of money was rook. ess
and wasteful. It soemod to be vory
abundant, and according to common
rumor the source of supply was tho trusts
and big corporations with which the Quay
machine Is Identified, such as the sugar
trust, the Standard Oil company, the
Pennsylvania Kallroad company, the
Reading Railroad company, the Carnegie
Steel works, etc. Membors who could not
be bribed were threatened with ruin If
they did not fall in lino. In one case a
young lawyer was met with a threat that
the bulk of his practice, which was mainly
among corporations, would be taken
away from him If he voted for W'ana
maker, and he, with tears In his eyes,
begged to be released from his pledge to
the latter. There wore many affecting
scenes in the Wanamaker headquarters,
for It was heartrending to soe strong men
moved to tears, with their honor at stake
on one side and their future interest
threatened on the other, feeling that all
the odious power of a thoroughly dis
reputable combination would be brought
to boar against them.
When neither bribes nor threats would
vail, the effort was made to Influence
members through their relatives and
friends in whom they had deep interest
