Mr. Wana- started out under the most un- The machine was in absolute control. It had the Republican party in the state by the Quay and Andrews and all the minor bosses were full of arrogance and impudence. They bosted of what they would do, not what they might do. No man disputed the assertion that Quay could nominate on first ball whoever he wanted for governor. f Now all is changed. The whirlwind campaign of Wanamaker has altered every condition. Quay is weak kneed, and would break away from William A. Stone's canvass if he could. Jt is not certain that Quay can nominate his man on first ballot. Andrews is still arrogant and boastful, and declares that William* A. Stone will be nomi- nated. Quay’'s strongholds have been shaken. Beaver county has gone against Quay—his own cqunty. Ma- chine ridden Huntingdon has thrown off the yoke. Everything in the bosses’ camp is topsy turvey. It is possible that Quay may be able under the lash of Andrews and his crowd, who are the bosses of Quay, to nominate Will- lam A. Stone at Allegheny. If he does then Pennsylvania can prepare far the most tremendous political battle it has ever known. In view of this the closing words of ex-Postmaster Gen- Wanamaker’'s speech are almost prophetic. Here they are: THE MASTER ADMONISHED. Tonight as we hear far above the | turmoil of party strife the voice of 70,- | the | 000,000 exclaiming “Remember Maine,” so.

In the further course of his sneech closing the campaign, on Friday night, at Phocnixville, Mr. Wanamaker said: PILLAGED THT TREASURY. In previous speeches I have analyzed nine distinct parts of the hydra-headed political machine that has prostrated manhood, prostituted every branch of the state government, and pillaged the people's treasury. Tonight I will speak briefly cf part No. 10 of the Quay po- litical machine that rules Pennsylva- | nia. Part No. 10 of the machine is the political manipulation of the great sums of money given by the state for educational, benevolent and charitable purposes, The insolent and crushing power that dares to prefane the temples of worghin, that dares to direct its political slaves to publicly blaspheme Giod in the streets of a Christian city on the eve of an important politica! con- vention, that dares to command its ereatures to 1ob the people of millions of thelr money, that dares place at the head of the Republican organization of Pennsylvania a self confessed partici- pant in a con@piracy to unlawfully take a large sum of taxpayers’ money from the state treasury, at the time he was | power that cares to strike down | scant | miner, | organizations. i the $24,000,000 of public moneys . belong to Senator Quay; | given them to | long | peonle before | remem- | its | share of | know | your political henchmen attempted to | when the notorious | indemnity bond was prepared: remem- | ber they know that mileage grabs and | the | remember they know the | remember the will of 6,000,000 | | sum i blindly. a state official, sworn to especially guard the people's money; that dares to sell favors and legislation to cor- porations against the interests of th. state and her people in return for gold with which to purchase elections; the hon- est men, to assassinate character and | defame the honored names of defense- less women; that dares to wrinz the earnings from the underpaid the small savings from the over- taxed farmer, the bread money {rom in- | nate insane, whose health demands bet- ter homes, can only be expected to use | the dire needs of the victims of acci- | dent and disease as political trading stock, and the just demands of educa- | tion and benevolence as a club to drive into supporting the ma- chine those who feel it a duty to make | any sacrifice necessary to obtain funds to carry on their good works.

The sum they will receive will | aggregate $343,800. Viewed from a ma- chine standpolnt, this is certainly a princely sum for Senator Quay to myself standing «very much alone be- fore the end of the canvass. When I struck at every ugly head that I found exposed, without fear or my political friends said that politicians would become afraid to trust me, and would not dare to give me their support. When I showed that un- der Republican Quay rule the people, | were paying over one-third too much spend for charity, notwithstanding he | has been obliged to ignore the over- | crowded and unhealthful condition of | so many of these institutions to meet | the increased expenses for indemnity bonds, mileage grabs and junketing trips. taxes, and that an ordinary economical administration would save the taxpay- ers $1,500,000 annually, my political friends said that my enemies would make the Republican voters believe I was trying to wreck the Republican party. My policy has been at almost { constant variance with my political | friends. Senator Quay’s committee will allow | $717,700 to be given to the support of | the indigent insane this year. This is $202,620 less than was allowed them in 1897, though the mumber of insane is constantly increasing, and their over- crowded condition is becoming more aggravated every year. itentiaries and reformatories will be allowed $302,583 for 1898—the same sum that was granted in 1897. For miscellaneous expenses $226,720 $85,061.26. MUST SECURE APPROPRATIONS.

If I have not succeeded in gathering delegates that will stand for me in the state convention I certainly have pre- sented startling and uncontroverted facts that will stand against Quayism in the future. I was mustered in to serve until June 2, and if the battle is not then won I promise you that I shall the war is ended. W. FF. GARLITZ, Expressman and Drayman, WEST SALISBURY, PA.
