the Monstrous Frauds in Philadel-

(From Our Own Correspondent.)
Harrisburg, Feb. 13.—The miscreants
who have for years been disgracing the
Republican party in Pennsylvania by
perpetrating election frauds in Phila-
del in the interest of the Quay ma-
chine are being brought to book. Sam-
uel R. Markley, Joseph Hogan and
Frank Taylor were sentenced on Satur-
day to two years’ imprisonment in the
Eastern penitentiary for frauds per-
petrated at the last November elec-
tion. These men were election officers
in the Twelfth division of the Fifth
ward, and were recently convicted of
stuffing the ballet box and making
fraudnlent returns of the votes cast.
This division is controlled by James
B. Anderson, one of the machine lead-
ers in the southern section of the city,
which has become notorious for its
election frauds.
This is only one of the many frauds
1 exposed since last No-
vember, when the corruption in the
Seventh a was brought to light and
Deputy Coroner Salter and a half
dozen other machine retainers were
forced to flee to ape the punishment
infiicted upon Markley and his asso-
ciates. Iter and his accomplices are
still fugitives from justice, and their
bondsmen are now trying to escape
payment of the amount of their bonds
through alleged flaw in the law.
New records of the startling frauds
perpetrated by the machine in compl
ing the lists of names for the purchas
of poll tax receipts have just been un-
earthed by an honest official, William
J. Bo recei

ists were rotten to the core, that in
many election divisions the names and
signatures were all fictitious or forged.
The lists as they were submitted to
the receiver of taxes by the Republi-
can city commitiee bore palpable evi-
dence of wholesale padding, forgery
and perjury. Seven-eighths cof the
20,427 names were ¢ ricken off by Mr.
Roney and his clerks because the sig-
natur were glaringly false

of allezed signatures in the division
in which he liv and every name on
the list was rejected by the receiver of
taxes as a fergery. The exposure of
these monstrous frauds has so aroused
the newspapers over the state that it
bodes ill to the machine. The Harris-
purg Star-Independent, the leading in-
dependent newspaper in central Penn-
sylvania, says:
“The utter contempt in which the law
and the courts arc i.eld by the ballot
polluters in Philadelphia is shown in
some form every day. To instance,

imate purposes is alarmingly sugges-
tive.”
The Philadelpl Press (Rep.) says:
“The act of 1897 makes it necessary
that a person who cffers to pay the
poll tax of any citizen shall present a
written order signed by the person
whose tax he seeks to pay. My ‘bal
request is not sufficient. The auth wri-
ty must be written and signed. With-
out such authority the payment is un-
lawful and is punishable by fine or im-
prisonment, in the discretion of the
court. Before this business is ended
the ward bosses and division workers,
who have so long been in a conspiracy
to defraud the people by means of elec-
tion crimes, will know a few things
about the law that will be useful to
them, though it would have been to
their advantage had they found out
sooner.”
The Pittsburg Times, owned and
controlled by Senator C. L. Magee,
says:

“County Auditors’ Drastic Com-
ments.”
Under the above caption the Somer-
set Herald last week published a lot of
misleading rot which was stated by the
County Auditors’ Annual Report.
Inasmuch as the said “drastic com-
ments” contain a malicious, unjust and
lying thrust at several of the county
newspapers, Tie Star will resent the |
insult, and the other newspapers can |
do as they please about it.
The swell-headed auditors allege that
the outgoing board of commissioners
published the annual statement in pa- |
pers having no general circulation
throughout the county, and for this
the retiring commissioners are censur-
ed by a few “smart aleck” auditors
heads have swelled to three
times their normal size since being
elected to a little snide office. The
auditors feel very big, evidently, but
their “drastic comments” show all the
ear marks of “Timmie” Scull’s dictation,
and they contain such glaring untruths
that not many people will be deceived
thereby. “Timmie” must have used a
little “persuader” with the auditors,but
no doubt “taffy” did the whole thing, |
for some petty office-holders can be
flattered very easily.
We are not taking up the cudgel to
whose
defend the old board of commissioners |
or their clerk, for we believe they are
thoroughly able to take care of them-
| selves, and the assault upon them is
| none of our business. However, inag-
| much as the auditors have wilfully
maliciously and unjustly assailed sev
| eral of the county papers by saying
| that they have no general circulation
|
| throughout the county, we resent their |
attempt to injure our private business.
The retiring commissioners had the
county statement published in the Som-
erset Standard, Somerset Democrat
Tue Straw, and, we believe, once in the
Berlin Record. All of the papers men-
tioned have a general
sure that each paper can produce any
quantity of the best of evidence to
prove the assertion.
Just why the auditors should try to
injure the private business of a few
newspaper men who have never med-
dled into the private business affairs of
the auditors, is more than we can ac-
count for; but sometimes petty officers
are liable to do almost anything when
suffering with a bad case of swelled
head.
Perhaps the auditors think no paper
has a general circulation unless they
are subscribers to it. But they must
remember that there are many other
people who subscribe to the papers
named, and many, too, who have the
honor and manhood to pay thefr sub-
scription. One of these same auditors
who is now trying to injure Tue Stan's
i for which action on his part
we can not account, was a subscriber
to Tur Star during the years of 1892
and 1893, but te this day has failed to
| square up his subseription, which he
| knows is an honest debt. He isa smart,
| away-up auditor, in his mind, but there
is a day of reckoning coming.
The people elect auditors to audit
| sccounts, not to show off by publishing
| “drastic comments” that are framed or
| suggested by “Timmie” Scull. If the
auditors must assail somebody, they
have no right to injure newspapers
| which have never wronged them or the

The candidacy of Dan Burns, the Cali-

the chief obstacle to the election of a
United
session of the ( Legislature.

This eliminates the Senatorial ques-
tion from this year’s campaign in Cali-
fornia. The Republican party there is
relieved for the time of a too direct re-
