(From Our Own Correspondent.) Harrisburg, May 3.—Desbpite noise of battle and the Spanish war, that other war, the battle for pure poli- i ; | tics and freedom from boss rule that | of the | is being waged by ex-Postmaster Gen- eral John Wanamaker goes steadily on. Mr. Wanamaker's unflinching purpose to drive the rascals out of nower in ! Pennsylvania is as firm as ever. | And yet on the other hand, Mr. Wan- | amaker has not given up his project of ! regiment | i organizing and equipping a for the Spanish war. It is likely. that direction. The wonderful patriotism of | one. Every campaign speech makes has for its introduction did ten minutes’ talk on the war. And there is no let up in crowds that go to hear Mr. maker. He is received with the warmest approbation and { every night he assails the Quay chine and the bosses from a new stand- noint. On Thursday night last a splen- ing rain storm outside and that the public heart of West Chester largely with that day for Mt. Gretna. that night Mr. Wanamaker said: The chief object my friends had in ing was to discuss with more particularly connected with state government of Within our a few waging spoils. Pennsvlvania has fallen from her old time greatness. The story is a long one—40 years Jong. It is the work of a triumvirate, father, son and pupil. The conspira- tors entail their hard conditions upon | the state, and these conditions grow | heavier and threaten to overpower the people for the sake of politicians and | corporations. Outright frauds in elections, bribery of legislators, transactions with the | money on pay rolls, overcharges by | puble servants and contractors are i not only common scandal, but uncom- mon loss to our badly-governed and over-taxed people. The recent revelations to the public of vast sums of the public money ex- | posed to loss in the Chestnut Street | bank after common warning and the tragedy that drew aside the curtains i of the People’s bank, supposed to con- | tain over half a million dollars of tax- money, until the curtains were quickly drawn back again by its presi- dent, who pitifully pays for the silence i held to be a pnartof the program of Pennsylvania politicians, are not new to rou. { In November, 1831, when the war was | hardly under wav and gross frauds were unearthed in the war department, | Senator Grimes wrote to Senator IMes- I senden: “We are geing to destruction as fast as corruption. and can carry. us. > made against the Secre- War (then Senator Cameron) was relegated to © Russia. Whether he profited personally by the | stealings is unknown to me. Certainly | Lincoln did not think so, but of this I | know and speak deliberately, without | malice or prejudice, that since 1861 the I wheels of Pennsylvania's government have rolled backward, and the Cam- | erons and the Quays have been re- i sponsible therefor. Whether done by them in person or through Andrews { and other well-paid servants, they are I equally responsible. How they have benefited person- | ally is no secret to not a few who | know the workings of the state treas- ury, through the uncovering of the People’s bank metheds and practices. Jt is hard to determine where to begin and harder still to know where to stop in the long, pitiful story of the state's disgrace and losses through the boss system now engrafted almost perma- nently upon our great state. PATRIOTISM OF QUAY TYPE. Senator Quay's patrictism is of the kind that does not reach above self, Everything in Pennsylvania is sub- ject to his political rule, and dquring the present crisis from first to last he has preyed like a vulture on the patriot- ism of the people and of his party for his own political and private ends. In this hour when the young men of our state and land are marching for humanity and freedom it should he known over the length and breadth af this state that Senator Quay has not scrupled to play the traitor to patriot- ism, I charge, an what is the best tes- timony that can be obtainable, that Senator Quay wes a member of a senatorial combine to defeat the wishes of President MoKinley, That the meet- ings of this combine to assist the Democrats and Populists were for the most part held {n Senator Quay's room in the Capitol; that all ‘the time he was in league with this combination he was protesting to his friends, and those whom he wished to deceive, that he was not In sympathy with the move- ment and wanted it beaten, but that the sentiment of Pennsylvania demand ed that he oppose the president, Moreover, as still further showing his deception and political trickery, he was at the same time, while making these protestations, gending telegrams to his ward heelers and political work- ers in Philadelphia urging them to telegranh their congressmen to sup- port him—Quay—in his warfars; against the president. Can you conceive of a more shame- ful or perfidious piece of treachery to ‘the president of the United States In this hour of peril? But there is one ‘>Other charge antedating this one which amounts almost to treason. I Vive the facts as they were publicly the another open outrageous taxpayers’ | paid or reported at the time of their occurrence. You all know with what speed and haste the government was compelled to purchase guns and hurry along plans for strengthening our navy and | coast defenses. I charge, and my authority leading and reputable newspaper, that Senator Quay was prepared to, and did do, all that lay in his power to de- | lay the pasage of the naval appropria- | holding back legislative ac- | tion bill; tion that was designed to strengthen this country against the assaults of foreign foes.

POSTOFFICES KNOCKED DOWN AT AUCTION. To what has the Quay control of Pennsylvania reached, when postoffices are practic- ally put up at a form of auction and Knocked down to the political heeler who can pay the largest sum for the privilege of becoming postmaster, and who at the same time is capable of carrying the most votes for Quay. | It is a notorious fact that at least in| | their two congressional districts it is boldly asserted and easily proven that | postoffices are offered for sale, and have been sold. And these offices are in districts whose members of congress | acter; are Quay’s warmest supporters, and they look to him to secure the offices for 1 Listen to this: , April 23, 1898.

No man was born to be a slave. The dynasties of Furope, that have endured for centur- ies, totter on their foundations, and the time is not distant when titled aristoc- racy will cease to usurp the rights of honest people. years by cruel and corrupt. The chains of poitical servitude ‘until every limb and muscle has felt the steeled imprisonment. Yet many political monarchs that for a time have flourished, h heen overthrown when met by their deadliest foes—education and enlight- enment—and the time tant when no Quay nor Andrews wiil dare to lift a murderous hanu to strike down the poitical liberties and material interests of the Republicans of Penn- cylvania. have ronaze are not to forever menace Pensylvania’s greatnes.

Today we see the ma- chine doubling and redoubling itsefforts and moncy to turn back the rising tide of condemnation, and when we see we know that the day of emancipation is near at hand. History has shown that political bosses have appeared strongest when they were nearest their end. Boss Tweed was thought to be unconquer- ‘able six months before his power was broken, and while he was in the very shadow of the penitentiary, and Boss while he had his liberty. He defied the warnings of an outraged peoble and scoffed at threatened justice until a few days before he put on the prison stripes. Do not think because the machine can, by its manipulated primaries, elect state delegates, that it is invul- nerable. History will repeat {itself in Pennsylvania; the searchlight of truth turned on without fear or favor will be the destroying mine. I have dis- cussed many important parts of the Qnay machine, but much remains to be given, I have shown that part No. 1 of the system is the state treasury, the great central storehouse from which is dis- seminated wholesale corruption. I have spoken of part No. 2 of the polit- jcal system as the place controlling and office promising branch, which commands a premium for the place and compels ofiicial rottenness and slavery to satisfy the avarice and greed of the hosses. 1 have analyzed part No. 3 of that political system as a great combination to suppress legiti- mate legislative news and distort ac- tual facts relating to government. Part No. 4 {8 the comhined influence of the xreat corporations always on the side of the bhosses. Part No. § is the both lavish and almost rckless use of vast sums of corruption money, Part No. 6 is the official legislation ta protect favored politicians organized in speculations enabling them to com- mit crimes without fear of punishment. INDEPENDENCE A CRIME. It is a fact, though a Pennsylvanian should blush to say it, that any person who may try to pretect the ‘honor and guard the interests of his state, by on- posing tiie Quay machine, takes his business interests, his reputation and is a depth of political infamy | { communities; the men to whom they are sold. | Postmaster General for | Pennsylvania has been ruled for 40 | political despots, avaricious, | | not care for the gray haired mother or | | innnocent children, and this is why men | | Fifty Kansas Papers Drop Bryan. have been welded tighter and tighter | { [ Girard Press. and monarchies, | : ! themselves the sole right to your offices is not far dis- | The swords of corporations, | misused public funds and political pat- | ' sons | office or public life unless they sacrifice | if we | i altar of »olitical The militia of | April will become the regulars of No- | The deeper I get into the se- | learn of the | at the hood destroying and character attack- | in Pennsylvania, | It takes courage to face the Spanish | it takes | > ! { United States has given the Quay gang | cold shivers. name assassinating bullets of the ma- | their citadels of strength being shaken | John Y.

If he is the employe of a corporation | he is threatened with discharge; if he is a merchant he is boycotted; if he is a clerk the head of the firm is notified that he must be suppressed; if he is in- terested in a corporation the company’s | interests are threatened; if he is a ai- | rector or stockholder in a bank large | customers are found to threaten the | withdrawal of their business; if he is | a physician good patrons object; if he | is a lawyer his clients are given orders | and threaten to leave him; if he is a | preacher members of his congregation | protest; if a man daring to be inde- | pendent of political dictation is in debt | he is threatened by those who hold his obligations. This is not the result | of accident, but of method. MEN THE MACHINE FEARS. It is the result of a carefullv plan- ned and manipulated system that ex- tends into every county in the state and reaches all classes of business. Tt | is every day and every vear working | machinery; manned by a host of politi- | cal retainers who report to the central , office the first symptoms of machine in- subordination, and who are expected to | advise ways and means of applying the silencing and crushing pressure. But there is a class of men beyond | these influences that the machine must reach. They are men who have to credit long years of honorable professional and business records; men | who are leaders in their respective men whose very names are synonyms for integrity and char- men whom ordinary considera- tion will not move. These men are a | constant menace to the existence of the | machine, and methods must be found | to keep them frem taking an active interest in politics. To influence these men is to set in motion the character torpedo, the repu- tation smirching and the good name destroying machine. It is worked by the hands of a gang of place holders and place seekers who risk nothing by frying to reb honest men of characters. It is a warning of what all who pro- test must encounter. The blackmailer begins to operate. That most con- | temptible of human beings—the anony- | mous letter writer—starts his miser- abie work. The scandal peddler, a moral outcast, labors systematically to poison society with-innuendo, insinua- | tions and base lies. FALSE ACCUSATIONS MADE. Detective agencies, composed of low tools and thugs, are hired at great ex- pense to dog the footsteps of those who dare work against the machine. They are paid to fabricate stories, invent false evidence against any one whom the machine may wish to destroy. Any man who causes trouble is sure to feel their vengeance. Those connected in any way with the persons of their special hatred are not safe. The youth | or the azed are not snared.’ They do | dare not fizht. Any man who enters the arena of Pennsylvania politics to- day against the machine will not es- cape it. Thus do they arrogate to | and assault you if you venture toward your own door. It is one of the most nowerful ad- juncts to the great Republican political | machine in Pennsylvania today. Men of Chester, are you satisfied? Are you willing to surrender, without a strug- | gle, your right to have ambitions? Are you willing to give consent that your | shall bes debarred from public | their integrity and their honor upon the | slavery and corrup- tion? Is it not time that vou join with us in driving away these flocks of ma- chine paid vultures who peck and caw reputations of honest men to try and make the world believe that they have found food filthy enough for their depraved palates? The appecintment of Emory Smith, the virile and Adistin- guished editor of the Philadelphia | Press, to be postmaster general of the | Hon. Charles The attitude of The Press to the bosses and their nefarious | plans is well known. fous fact that although Senators Quay and Penrose have endeavored to create the impression that the appointment of Mr. Smith was with their full knowl- edge and conscnt the reverse is true. The president invited Mr. Smith into his cabinet, and after all arrangements had been made then Quay and Pen- rose were summoned to the White House and told what the president pro- posed to do.
