(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

| ing truths to which, the people must

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-_|

to crinnle the postal business of 75,-

nience of business people and the wel-

I submit fourth, that the service of

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.

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

in. the highest degree, resulting in. the |
dismissal of these two officials. from

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.

since I havessft home, and on the eve

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-

plot, employing detectives, one of whom

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-

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
