MONEY TAKENFROM STATE BANKS Mr. Wanamaker Tells the Story of How He Came to Bo Made Postmas- | ter General—Denples Ingratitude to | the Machine—-The. Old Story of the | Xndemnity Bond and What It Means | to the People. (From Our ©Qwn €orrespondent.) Harrisburg, May 17.—In speaking of Hon. John Wanamaker’s wonderful campaign in Pennsylvania a North- | ampton county paper last Saturday | said regarding his tour through that | county: “If Hon. John Wanamaker had been a, king his reception in Northampton | county eould not have been nore en- | thusiastic and sincere. | amounted to a triumph.” | ing truths to which, the people must | ampton ccunties. His progress The fact is that Mr. Wanamaker is making the most wonderful canvass ever known in the. history. of Pennsyl- | vania politics. He is talking as no other candidate ever talked. He is tell- perforce listen, because they are truths and becaase his facts are matters of record. Last week Mr. Wanamaker campaigned through Tioga and North- All told he made 17 speeches during the week. Without go- | ing into detail as to when and where | he spoke, the following extracts from his speeches will serve to indicate their startling character. At Easton, the home of General) Frank Reeder, Mn. Wanamaker said: DANGEROUS POLITICAL TRUST. IL submit first, that the Rcpublican party as at o»resent constituted is a most dangerous political trust, com- | posed of two national senators and 20 | congressmen and the large majority of 254 state legislators at Harrisburg, who, 'by dictation, dispose of public moneys, enact laws and choose admin-_| istratora. of them to the detriment of | | the public welfare, said appointces not. | Reeder-Elkin machine, uses its usurp- | conspiracies to cripple the president of | the United States | conducting public business, | ant as our relations with Spain; | election campaigns by the flagrant use | of large sums of money contributed by | corporations, | and payers for legislation. self resnectine men is lost to the Re- these banks by large borrowers for personal and pool speculators, {- state. {| one dollar | tutions, | of it by Frank Reeder, | the commonwealll, and John P.

I submit trust, but vielding | their masters and | second, that this political known as the Quay-Andrews- ed nower and ill gotten gains in per- petuating itself to the damage of the taxpayers and people generally. I submit third, that the audacity of this Pennsylvania machine enters into in as import- seek: to crinnle the postal business of 75,- 000,000, specially attacking the conve- nience of business people and the wel- fare of rural! communities; conducts in his purposes capitalists, contractors I submit fourth, that the service of pulican party by the vile misrepresent- ations of reputable people, employment of bogus detectives, venomous falsifiers, a subsidized: nress and conspirators, who dare any nlot or defilement, able to exert political control and by bpro- tecting leziclation and domination of legal annointees of district attorneys and others not in clective but appoint- Ive offices. STATE MONIY SQUANDERED: I submit fifth, that the. state funds have been and are squandered through the processes controlled by the machine. I submit sixth, that the state treas- urer, being named by the bosses, who control his election and who direct the custody of the funds, endanzers the safeiv of the state’s money as proven hy the recent developments of the three failed nanks in Philadelphia and West Chester. I submit eceventh, that the use of the bosses, known to be uses and campaign purposes, as well as private should be a warn- taxpavers, who are Interest- schools and charities of the the the ing to ed in I-submit eighth, that there is evidence to form belief upon that the appropria- tions to the educational institutions, charities and hospitals of the state could be largely reduced without of actual loss to said insti- if the costs of-lobbying and at- torneys did not have to be naid out of the appropriations. . I+ submit: ninth, that. the evidence of the unlawful taking of money out of the. state treasury by the consent of the Quay treasurer, now embvloyed in the state treasury as assistant to the present treasurer, and the justification the secretary of chairman of the. state committee, who with his master, M: S. Quay, who first elected himself chairman of the state cammittee, which was done upon his own statement after spending between $200,000 and $250.00), subsequently..caused Mr. Blkin to be elected chairman in arder that he might hold: control of abuse of: official- place is reprehensible in. the highest degree, resulting in. the | dismissal of these two officials. from the administration. : MONEY COVERTLY EXTRACTED. It-is either true or it is not true, and | ¥; submit it as easily capable of proot! one way or the other by your own | townsmen. that Reeder, Elkin and oth- | ars covertly extracted from the treas- | ury on a loaded payroll the sum of £27,000. I submit tenth, that an effort was | made of the most desperate character | to favor beer brewers as a reward for | large subscrintions to the last sena- | torial campaign, whereby the schools of the entire state would have suffered impairment or the million of dollars at- tempted to be taken from them would: have had to be raised by additional tax- ation, now heavily crushing the people, because needlessly high, owing to ex- travagance and evil legislation. BLACKENING FLAG OF FALSE. HOOD. I am not done, as I.expected to be. L fntended-to have relieved your patience | with the wards already spoken, bu | | let declares that the governor, | kenburg case was going on, and that | Mr. Weiss, of vour county, and Mr. { chine, prison bars in New York state. Stripped | cept what Is absolutely mere distortion | of truth. | ed on me with a letter from a reputable | nothing to gain its ends. since I havessft home, and on the eve of entering this meeting, I have had put into my hands a pamphlet, issued un- der the title of a phrase in my speech ter, “Commercialism in Pol- in Faas I am not willing to postpone for even a single hour the engagement with the enemy, who has again raised the black and blackening flag of falsehood. Pol- iticians in. Pennsylvania are too busy to go to Cuba. The pamphlet reprints with comments the arrest and hearing, | before the justice of the neace, and set- tlement of the E. A. Van Valkenburg | case. It is all paraded in detail, though | the prosecutor settled ‘it. The pamph- in the interest of the machine, entered into a plot, employing detectives, one of whom in New York state while the Van Val- | Mackey, of Lackawanna, of repute cer- | tainly superior to these hired detectives. were bribed by Mr. Van Valkenburg in : my interest. Both Mr. Welss and Mr. Mackey pub- | Hely avowed that no such bribing tooit | place. As against their statements you | are asked to take the statements of | these paid detectives of a political ma- | all powerful in Pennsylvania, and well known not to be above the defamation of character. The charges | made were all flatly denied under oath by E. A. Van Valkenburg, the accused. who was dragged in the dead of night | into a court friendly to his persecution | by the political machine, so far as the district attornev and his clerks were | concerned. Circumstantial evidence is reported of a farcical hearing, where a prompter stood behind the witness and | read certain written statements, now published, made by a hired assassin of | character, whose employe, also testify- | ing soon after, was put behind the of the dramatic. this is all the case, ex- THE TILLARD SCHEME. A half truth is often worse than an out-and-out lie. An unknown man call- person from Altoona introducing him as Tillard. That letter, the writer claims, was goiten from him by decep- tion. The man who now confesses that he came to assassinate me and my friends by direction of the Quay-An- drews-Reeder machine asked for in- formation about the campaion, and I Bourse and mentioned names cf several individuals. I believe Mr. Van Valken- burg was cut of town at the time he | called. Tillard now claims that I then employed him, an unknown verson, to | go out and buy votes for me. He knows, and so does everybody else know, that he begins his infamous business with a | lie in his mouth. Whatever services he | entered unon professedly in my behalf | were of his own proffer, and whoever | trusted him with money for his ex- | penses simply fell into a dastardly trap set by Reeder and others whose names are in mv possession. I never gave the | man a dollar to buy a vote for me, and | never authorized, directly or indirectly, or winked at the purchase of a vote for | me, not even by the bribing of a man with an appointment of a place in my store, which I could easily have done, and was frequently annealed to. Mr. Weiss was known to my committee to be against me. and Mr. Tillard, who wanted to see him in my behalf, was distinctly directed not to do so, as I was informed,and if Tillard took money and marked it as bribe money he did so of his own volition to carry out his nefarious bargaining with his employer. There is not now and never has been any concealment of the fact that the committee representing me did assist unelected men who had declared their | intention to support me by aiding them i: in strictly legitimate expenses. That man does not live who can truthfully | say that I hired a man or permitted a | living being to pay any money in the senatorial election campaign as bribes, and if anv man was so paid, which I do not believe,it was and is and always will be without my consent and | against my instructions. THE SUBPENA STORY. As regards the statement that an effort was made unsuccessfully to sub- pena me as a witness, it is known that | two drunken men once Tailed to get access to my office, and who may have | had a legal paper, but it is absurd and untruthful to say that I could not be | subpenaed. Moreover I am ready to make an affidavit that I returned from Europe, from the bedside of a sick child, last October, solely to be within reach for the service of the-subpena upon me in Mr. Van Valkenburg’s ex- pected trial. I desire to distinctly state | that I never was consulted about the’ settlement of the case, did not know it was to be settled and never paid a dol- | lar or any other sum .personally, or instructed any other person to pay any ! money for me for its settlement; and | further, I am reliably informed that no money was paid in my behalf by any one in settlement of the Van Valken- | burg case, and 1 solemnly declare that I do not know where the money came | from that settled it. It is sincere dis- appointment to me personally that the case was ever settled without trial. I have further to add that the arrest of Van Valkenburg and the charges against hifh were solely the work of politicians connected with the Quay- Reeder ring, and that the confession of one of the actual conspirators is now in. my possession. The publication of the unsigned anonymous pamphlet is | a part of the nolitical game of the hard pressed machine, which stops at John 8. Hop- | kins, the cashier of the People’s bank, was driven to a suicide’s grave by the paliticians he served. He went down with a pistol in his cue hand because of a sad truth told by himself as he looked into a grave, and in the piteous, tear-stained letter he left to his widow and fatherless children, when he said that the other hand “is in the lion's | mouth: I cannot get it out, and to me | death is preferable.” THAT INDEMNITY BOND. Do you all understand what the in- deranify bond was? It was a bond to personally protect the state treasurer | in unlawfully paying between $20,000 and $30,000 of the money from the state treasury on a bogus vayroll that had been established to - make good the proinises made by the machine in the senatorial fight.. The money to reim- burse the state treasurer was intended to be taken from the state treasury un- @:r the cover, of the gepsrad approprias | disgrace the . this man, | cation, | House Boyer, | campaign, | chairman | cumstances | work faithfully. | stand by President Harrison, | Quay then opposed as he now opposes i al that the tion bill. The fraudulent item of $25. 000 aid vass, hut was vetoed by the governor. Your townsman is now an alleged eandidate for governor. It is a well known fact that Senator Quay has said that he would like to see | Reeder vindica‘ed for conspiring to un- lawfully take the taxpayers’ money. It is also well known that Senator Quay says Reeder’s recomd’ will remove ail | possibility of hls being a candidate this year. Do you wonder that Senator Quay feels kindly toward Ex-Secretary Frank Reeder? None has been more subservient. None has thought less for himself. None has done more question- able things. None has helped to wrong the people under the orders of Senator Quay more than has Reeder. But there i | 1s a particular reason why he might became a convict and was imprisoned | wish to make Reeder governor now which I make most emphatic. He may Republican party with but he dare not wreck the him. But why party by nominating should Quay want Reeder this time? | It is because Quay wants another vindi- | and through the election of Reeder he believes*he might get it. But vindication for what? For being him- self a party to the infamous indemnity | bond. For I want you to know that it is generally stated that on that event- | ful night in Speaker Boyer’s room, on Front ‘street, in Harrisburg, Senator | Quay was present and personally di- | rected the indemnity scheme. States Senator Penrose, Speaker of the Secretary of the Com- monwealth Reeder, can State Committee EIKin, State | Treasurer Haywood and several other politicians of lesser prominence were there, and under orders of the bosses | the majority, if not all of them, are alleged to have signed the. fhdbtanity | bond.

If anything I was inimical to him then, and had never | sociated with him until he sent for me | referred him to the committee at the | that he had been by the national committee, was without funds, and begged my as- | sistance in organizing financial aid. I took three weeks to consider it, agreed ‘to organize an unpolitical com- | mittee of business men, and stipulated that my committee should have some supervision of the use of the money. all of which was agreed to and com- plied with. I entered upon the work thtn exactly as I would do now, if cir- were the same, with threatening panic since, when Grover Cleveland was re- elected. most all of the national committee, some altogether unknown to me, urged my appointment in the cabinet.
