This is answered in the letter of acceptance sent out by Mr.: Sibley, which fastens this political crime upon this brand of Republicans. His | letter is as follows: SIBLEY ENCOURAGED BY QUAY REPUBLICANS.

The thousands and tens of thousands who follow the old flag of Lincoln Re- publicanism from principle are to be denied a place in the home they have built. I am asked to notice that Chairman Elkin declares that he has made every effort to bring about harmony within the Republican party. The truth is it is the Elkin-Andrews-Saylor-Quay- Lytles, and even so genial] and hand- some a man as Hardenberg, who has always trained with this set, that has brought on this condition of affairs. Only deaf ears have been turned to the people's appeals, for less machine and more principle, and setting the peo- ple aside by defeating such as Kauff- man and striking out every man who has been independent enough to | choose for himself his legislative course | has caused the dissensions and widened | the chasm between the people and the ! | ton referred to in his testimony, and machine. I grant that Mr. Elkin has followed | the instinct of a machine made politi- | cian in endeavoring to bring about a basis of harmony upon barter and deal. The Quay substitute chairman, who after all is Quay himself, I believe, has been and still is perfectly willing to sit down and divide the people's offices among the politicians representing op- posing factions upon the condition that they will agree to support Senator Quay for re-election. THE PEOPLE DISREGARDED. I dannot tell how many men the ma- chifie “has been willing to favor for nomination. as members of the legis- lature and offered to discount candi- date’'s notes based upon salaries un- earned by which assessments might be paid providing some kind of a bond is given to go along, as they term it. with the machine and support its bills and its people for re-election. | dates thus helped Where do the people come in in these arrangements? What effort has he | made to harmonize his machine with | the peonle? What will he do to give | back into the state trcasury tke thou- | sands of dollars illegally taken from it? Who will go security for the machine | against indemnity bonds, padded pay- | junketing jobs, appropriation | steals in the future? Can any- | one tell whether the machine in its efforts to harmonize with the people has favored the passage of just and equitable tax laws to lighten excess burdens now borne by rural lands? Who has received any promise or | guarantee that the state contracts in | | which certain prominent party officials | «political treason on the part of the | Thev dare | Still more damaging evi- | the fu- | are said to be secretly interested, be no longer continued? | Where is there any agreement that ' the machine will cease its raids upon ! the treasury through the state printer | and other departments? What efforts have been made to satisfy the people will ; | that the machine will not cut down the public schools appropriations again? Has the confident chairman harmon- ized with the farmers hy promising protection to the pure butter interests? What guarantee shall the people have {if they will harmonize that there will be no more Becker bills, electric light snakes, guarantors jobs, Andrews’ banking bills, fire alarm hills, pool bills, brewery license bills: what hope has he thrown out to the people that the Re- | publican organization is not to be longer used as an individual concern for individual benefit? In the interest of harmony and good feeling within the party has the chair- man ever offered to resign and relieve the party from the odium of having a head who was officially dismissed from office for crime against the law in con- nection with the state treasury? WHAT CHAIRMAN ELKIN KNOWS. Who will say that it is true that Chairman Klkin has done all he could to bring about harmony within the Re- i publican party unless he has made all these particular offers? Surely it can- : not be possible that the state chairman ignorant of the feeling among the rank and file of the party. | He must know that thousands of Ne- ! will not vote their party be considered an indorsement of the party chairman's connection with the treasury raid. Chairman Elkin must know that | | many of the people Avill not follow his | leadership because he openly advocated and tried strenuously to take a million | of dollars away from the public schools. | Chairman Elkin must know that the | farmers are not willing to follow the leading of any man who favors legaliz- | ing the sale of oleomargarine to the ! damage of the great interests of pure | butter in this state. Chairman Elkin must know that the | people of Philadelphia have not forgot- | ten his efforts to pass the Becker hills, and Re must likewise know that | the people of Pittsburg remember his connection with the ripper bill. Chairman ISlkin must know that a | mann to be chairman of the Republican | organization, justifying his signature give some security to the people that ! when the W. A. Stone slate is carried out and W. H. Andrews becomes the secretary of the commonwealth, and Chairman Elkin becomes attorney gen- | eral he will not dip into the treasury | again with more indemnity bonds. VOTERS WILL NOT BACK THE TICKET." | Chairman Elkin must know that the widespread belief that he is to be taken care of by some fat office when his party succeeds in the fall will drive ! hosts of voters away from supporting | the Republican ticket. Chairman Elkin must not forget that | it is very much in the way of harmony so long as the people remember his | connection with the defeat of the re- | form bills and the passage of counter- feirs that permit election frauds and crimes of the most flagrant character. Chairman Elkin must know that it would never be possible to harmonize ! chair of corrupt politics. .he Republican party by management ¢f the state committee in Lhe interests of a few favored office holders. Chairman Elkin may have forgotten, but the people do not forget, that when McKinley was before them for the presidency, and sound money was the supreme object all over, that he and his satraps industriously endeavored to destroy Republican meetings in various parts of the state because the speakers were not of the ring stripe. Chairman Elkin must remember that he absolutely refused to allow meetings to be arranged in various parts of the state to assist McKinley's election, be- cause he objected to Mr. Wanamaker making the speeches, though he never alluded to other than tariff and sound | money questions. Mr. Chairman Elkin,who is now wild- ly screaming for regularity, is upon tho | record for refusing to support a man for nomination for governor within the party lines because he was not a ring man.

The fact that he has, as chairman, | been busy in announcing Quay’s candidacy and paying assess- Senator | ments in the various counties as though | the State committee solely for the benefit was of one man is organized | not likely to promote harmony in the | party. t MACHINE WAYS ILLUSTRATED. For illustration: Mr. Elkin will un- derstand, if he will remember, that a check was sent to a central county for $500 by his committee to a candidate to oppose the rcnomination to the leg- islature of a member of the 76 who was known to be against the Quay ma- chine. The people are not blind or dumb, at least nct all of them, and if the men have had their eyes closed to the pe- culiar antics of the audacious Quay machine the wives and mothers of Pennsylvania have clearer vision and are doing a good deal of thinking and talking these days to relieve them- | selves of unnecessary burdens of taxa- tion from wasteful legislation.
