Philadelphia. Jan. 24. That curious
fungu on the body politic, the Hunt
nesa Men's League, la busily engaged
In arranging to defeat the nominations
of the Republican party at the next
state election without regard to the
personnel of that ticket.
The gentlemen connected with the
Wanamaker-Dolan organization being
all wealthy men and as a rule men who
have mode their fortunes because of
measures which originated and were
carried through by the Republican
party notably the tariff laws are
shining examples of the truth of the
statement thut "satan still finds mis
chief for Idle hands to do." They are
filling such newspapers as they can
command with lamentations and slan
ders. They are declaring In wholesitle
terms that the Republican leaders in
Pennsylvania and the Republican or
ganization have neither character nor
intelligence, that they are wholly Ig
norant of the desires ot the people of
Pennsylvania, and are animated solely
with the desire to Injure and betray
them. Such practical political results
as they have been able to carry out to
tho extent of submission to tho people
have Invariably been annihilated at the
ballot box. The press agents and sal
aried mud sllngers of this organization
continue to be Mr. Frank Willing Leach,
the Van Valkenburg brothers, and some
of tho minor agents of the old hog
combine. In order to earn the liberal
salaries paid to these gentlemen under
the contracts made a year ago they are
running the Business Men's League
scandal bureau on double time. In this
they are assisted by one of the rhlla.
delphla morning papers, which seems
to exist wholly to carry out the wishes
of these amateur political assassins.
The league Is Just now loud In the
declaration that another Delamater
campaign Is about to be undertaken by
the Republican party. All ot these gen
tlemen neglect to state that they de
manded the nomination of Delamater
In public calls and letters, and threat
ened to bolt If he was not placed at the
head of the Republican ticket. TheV
avow that their purpose Is to overthrow
bosslsm, and yet they meet In secret
and seek to make nominations for
United States senators, governor and
other state officials, with a boldness
and Impudence that no so called "boss'
would dream of.
These men and their associates have
for years been connected with every
plot to plunder the people of Philadel
phia. They have been engaged In gas
grabs, street paving grabs, traction rail
way grabs, electric light grabs, and
every other scheme by which the cl'.l
cltizcns could be plundered.
Their purses have grown fat with the
results of those raids upon the rights
of the citizens, and yet they are not
content. They are plotting alliance with
the Democrats; they are preparing for
Independent tickets; they are slander
Ing every innn whose record warrants
him In seeking a nomination at the
hands of tho Republican party for
prominent state offices all for their
own selfish purpnxes. They will not
agree to lend their old to the selection
or election of men who huve unimpeach
able public records, anil who carry
county after county by popular vote nt
the primaries. They take the ponltion
that unless the men whom they select
and whom they expect to control In
office are placed In nomination they will
take their little tin dishes and go home
and make things very disagreeable fur
everybody within runge of their voices.
If there be any discontent In the ranks
of the Republican party In the state
at this time It has been created and has
been fomented solely by this league of
business men, which hits been repudi
ated by every respectable and respon
sible clement of the party from the
president and his cabinet down to tho
representatives of the Republican or
ganizations In tho wards and districts
in which those men reside.
If the Republicans desire to create
and perpetuate a Wanamuker-JJulan-Leach-Van
Valkenburg dynasty they
have not shown It In tho past when tho
issue was an open and direct one at the
polls, and we believe that when
their eyes ore opened and they gee the
real purpoBe of these stuffed phophets
of Pennsylvania politics they will treat
them with the contempt they have al
ways shown them before. It is but fair
to Infer that theso gentlemen, having
grown rich on tho plunder of Philadel
phia city, are now turning covetous
eyes upon the 3vhole state of Pennsyl
vania, and desire the fatness thereof.
This annex to the Martin machine
In Philadelphia Is Just now consumed
with rago over Its failure to control
nny of the federal appointments In the
rlty or state. The truth of the matter
Is that President McKlnley Is fully
aware of the selfish motives that con
trol these men who pose as critics and
reformers. He hns repeatedly snub
bed them, and It looks as If this fact
was finally penetrating their thick
skins. The test evidence of this Is
shown by. a frantic article, abusive ot
President McKlnley, that appeared In
the columns of . the Philadelphia liven
ing Telegraph on Friday, Jan. 21, The
Telegraph Is published by the son-in-law
of John .Wanamaker, and besides
being the personal organ of. the. dls
applnted senatorial aspirant is also tho
publlo organ of , tho ' bogus" Business
Men's association. The editorial, head-

ti "The President's Surrender," says,
among other things:
"Two Important appointments In
which this city Is especially Interested
were practically disposed of by the
president yesterday. They wore the
collectorshlp of the port of Philadel
phia and the vacancy In the Interstate
commerce commission. A delegation
from the Business Men's League, of
Philadelphia, called upon Mr. McKln
ley to urge the appointment of Major
E. A. Hancock as t. e successor of Col
lector Read. The delegation was made
up of men whose business pursuits
bring them Into close and constant con
tact with the collector, and who are
necessarily familiar with the duties of
the position and with the qualifications
that are required for their efficient
discharge. They were also, one and all,
good and true Republicans, devoted to
the Interests of the party as well as to
the Interests of the business commu
nity, and thus had every reason and
every Inducement to advise and urge
the appointment of a man who Is fully
qualified for the office, nut their ap
peal to Mr. McKlnley In behalf of Ma
jor Hancock appears to have made no
Impression upon the president. Sen
ator Quay was ahead of them; he had
a conference with the executive Just
before the business men were shown
Into his presence, and the rejection of
Major Hancock was, therefore, a fore
gone conclusion. Months ago the man
from Beaver had promised the collec
torshlp of the port of Philadelphia to
State Senator C. Wesley Thomas, and
to Mr. Thomas, as the president Inti
mated In his talk with the business
men yesterday, the collectorshlp will
go. It Is Mr. Quay who makes the
appointment, and not the president
of the United States, the provisions of
the constitution thereof to the contrary
notwithstanding."
Just what the Wanamaker-Dolan-Leaeh
- Blankenburg - Van Valkenburg
combination expects to gain by abuse
of the chief executive of the nation
is dlfflcut to understand. Outside of
this the only other thing of Interest
in the outburst Is the candid acknowl
edgment of Quay's Influence at the
White House. T. M. A.

THE DANGER
to which the Expectant Mother is
exposed and the foreboding and
dread with which she looks for
ward to the hour of woman's
severest trial is appreciated by but
few. All effort should be made
to smooth these rugged places
in life's pathway for her, ere she
presses to her bosom her babe.
MOTHER'S FRIEND
allays Nervousness, and so assists
Nature that the change goes for
ward in an easy manner, without
such violent protest in the way of
Nausea, Headache, Etc. Gloomy
forebodings yield to cheerful and
hopeful anticipations she passes
through the ordeal quickly and
without pain is left strong and
vigorous and enabled to joyously
perform the high and holy duties
now devolved upon her. Safety
to life of both is assured by the
use of "Mother's Friend,'' and
the time of recovery shortened.
"I know one lady, tho mother of three
children, who Buffered greatly in thu
birth of each, who obtained a bottle of
'Mother's Friend' of nie before her
fourth confinement, and was relieved
quickly and easily. All agree that their
labor was shorter and less painful."
