IS AGAIN SELLING GOLD BRICKS. Quay Trying His Qld Game of 1895 and Declares Fer Ballot Reform. KNOGK OUT FOR GAUGUS PLEDGE. United States Senate Are Ruined—Farmers Stone’s Chances For the Have no Faith in That Him~Dairymen Demand John Hamilton Be Removed—Ashbridge and Stone Compared. (From Our Own Correspondert.) Harrisburg, June 12.—Ex-Senator M. S. Quay, having been rejected by the United States se e, has resumed business at his old stand, and is once more engaged in selling gold bricks to the Republicans of Pennsylvania. The supreme court of the state of Pennsylvania and the overwhelming sentiment of the law abiding %itizens of the commonwealth have practically forced Senator Quay to re-enter the business in which he gained an un- enviable prominence in 1895. Mr. Quay has had himself interview- ed and has declared for ballot reform. He believes in ballot reform! He is a great admirer of a pure ballot, and he wants a constitutional convention call- resolution is concerned. Su ution is only so much was and another blow is thus deliv the Quay machine. Between 70 and 100 farmers, dairy- men and pure butter dealers wa resignation of John Hamilton, secretary of agriculture. These men came from every part of the state. repr sent the farmers; that he was in- e nt, as was shown by his ignor- ance of the crimes that were being committed in his department. They declared that as Governor Stone had removed Levi Wells, the disgraced dairy and food commissioner, on ac- count of the outcry against the rotten- ness in his department, that Hamilton should be punished likewise. The gov- ernor listened to what they had to say and promised to improve the dairy and pure food department. The far- done, because some subservient follow- er of the machine must have the place. As for removing John Hamilton, no- body expects Governor Stone to do this. Hamilton is a political worker, and holds his place for that reason. STONE AND ASHBRIDGE. In this respect Governor Stone is like Mayor Ashbridge, of Philadelphia. In a great mass meeting, attended by thousands, the people of Philadelphia demanded that Ashbridge dismiss his director of public safety, because he had tried to intimidate and blackmail Hon. John Wanamaker, and compel him to stop the attacks of The North American on the Ashbridge adminis- tration. A committee of 20 prominent ed, at great expense, to give the people ballot reform! In other words, Mr. Quay is suggesting a way for the peo- ple to rid themselves of the criminals and ballot box stuffers which his ma- chine has protected and fostered for years. If it had not been for the ma- chine Samuel Salter and his “pals” would not today Le fugitives from jus- tice, and Markley, and the oth® crim- inals, convicted of ballot box stuffing, would not today be “doing time” in the | penitentiary. They stuffed ballot boxes | not for their health, nor for their own | benefit, but to keep in power the ma- | chine in Philadelphia. It is a noteworthy fact that Mr. Quay did not declare for ballot reform until after the supreme court had declared that Governor Stone had no right to | veto the constitutional amendments re- garding ballot reform passed by the | last legislature. In the year that has elapsed since Governor Stone commit- ted his unconstitutional act Senator Quay never opened his lips against that outrageous proceeding. Governor | | Stone is Mr. Quay’s governor, and it is | presumed that he did not act without Mr. Quay’s knowledge in vetoing the constitutional amendment. By his si- lence Mr. Quay approved of Governor Stone’s unconstitutional act, but now that the governor has been reversed, | and the newspapers of the state are demanding ballot reform and protec- | tion against the ballot bo uffers of his machine, Mr. Quay comes out and declares ti he, too, is anxious for | ballot ref But thi ill not decei ple of Pennsylvania. Mr. Quay’s conver- sion is entirely too sudden to be gen- | uine. He has converted himself be- cause he does not want the insurgent | Republicans to monopolize “bal form” as a campaign cry. Then, again, Mr. Quay thinks it easy to fool the people. CAN'T FOOL THEM AGAIN. But is it? The people of Pennsyl- | vania, who are ashamed of the thiev- | ery, debauchery and crime that have | been thrust on the fair name of the | state through the action of such ardent Quayites as “Sam” Salter, the fugitive | ballot box stuffer, and the other crim- | inals who are in the penitentiary for the same crime, have not forgotten Mr. Quay’s grand stand play for ballot re- form in 1895. They have not forgotten his elaborate promises, his state con- vention pledges and all the rest of the clap-trap that he used to fool the peo- ple. Mr. Quay was just as sincere for ballot reform then as he is now. And what happened? Mr. Quay’s machine issued orders at the next session of the legislature, to its followers who were in contrel, and they knocked out every reform measure that he had promised the state. It was the most notorious and cold blooded piece of deception ever prac- ticed on intelligent people. From that year the downward course to defeat of M. S. Quay began. He fooled the peo- ple once, and they have never believed in his promises since. He will not fool the people this time. He can preach for ballot reform and promise every- thing, but it will count for nothing. He will not be able to fulfill any prom ises, for he will not be able to contr the next legislature. He could not co trol the last legislature, and he will have fewer followers in the next. AGAINST CAUCUS RULE. One of the greatest blows to the machine and to ex-Senator Quay was in the action of the Lebanon county court, referred to in my letter of last week, which declared that no county committee or nobody else had a right to compel a candidate to pledge him- self to go into the Quay caucus at Har- risburg next winter. Judge Endlich, who delivered the opinion, is one of the ablest jurists in the state. His written opinion was made public last Saturday. In that opinion he declares that no man’s name can be kept off a ticket because he refuses to enter a caucus. Judge Endlich vs, speak- ing of the caucus resolution, in his opinion: “Its effect, unless it is mere waste paper, is to obligate him, upon all such questions to renounce his individual judgment in favor of that of a major- {ty of the caucus and in his action upon them to be governed not by his under- standing of his duties as a legislator or of what is involved in his promise of @ fidelity in the discharge of them, but by the dictate of others whose views on all these matters may or may not coincide with his own. “That an undertaking productive of this result would be subver OF ideas fundamentally underlying the representative system of legislation as established by our constitution and violative of more than one of its ex- plicit provisions cannot be doubted. It pecessarily follows that the subscrib- ing by a candidate for the legislature of a pledge like that required by the resolution of March 10, 1300, is incon- sistent with the duty of 1 tor as prescribed in the oath impo upon him by Article 7 of the constitution as a condition precedent to his assump- tion of the office, that he will . obey and defend the constitution that he will discharge the duties of his office with fidelity. The mandamus proceedings brought by the anti-Quay senator in Lebanon, | Samuel Weiss, ended in an anti-Quay victory. The Quay county committee is commanded to put Senator Weiss name on the ticket. This decision affect the whole system of machin - tion in the state. so far the caucus 11 3s | Bryan { dent. Mr. it | th i vivor of | now in progress in the convention hall, citizens appointed at that mass meet- ing waited on the mayor and asked him to have the charges against Eng- lish investigated by five leading and disinterested business men. Ash- bridge refused to investigate the charges and declined to remove Eng- lish. Every reputable paper in Philadel phia has denounced Ashbridge and English, but like all the rest of the machine politicians they refuse to rec- ognize the people except as their ser- vants. The result is that the Ashbridge administration will never recover from the effect of its acts. As for Governor | Stone’s administration, he has violated the constitution so defiantly in his ef- forts to help the Quay machine that he will never recover from the stigma. As a candidate for tle United States | senate Governor Stone has ruined his chances. The people could never have any confidence in him as their senator. -~ : THE NUMERQUS NOMINEE.

He Prints the Facts Coneerning Lo- cal Affairs. A western editor who believes in tell- ing the truth, printed the following re- cently: “Willie Shortlike and Bettie Bloomers were married at the church last evening. The church was very prettily decorated with flowers and potted plants, borrowed from over town from people who didn’t want to lend them. The decorating was done under protest by some of the members of the church who were asked to do so by the bride, and couldn’t refuse. The ladies are of the opinion that if the couple were so bent on having a stylish wedding they should have been willing to have paid some one to chase all over town for a day getting flowers together | and then taking them home again. | The bride wore a handsome Silver- stein gown, made at home, and the groom was decked out in a $10 hand- me-down suit. The ushers wore cuta- way coats, borrowed for the occasion. Sallie Potts was maid of honor, and the consensus of opinion was that she was 2 to 1 prettier than the bride. The young couple took the morning train for St. Louis, where they will spend more money in a few days than Willie can earn in three months. Willie says that now he's he’s going to settle down. Some of our merchants think it would have been better if he had settled up first. The g ary of $27 a month, which is about the allowance Betty has married groom gets a s: been used to for pin money.

If thisis a sample of Betty’s ccoking we feel sorry for Willie. Our janitor’s dog fell heir to the cake and now he’s lying in the cold. cold ground. But this wedding is none of our funeral. If Willie and Betty are satisfied we’ve got no kick coming.” —- - The bride The Primary Election Contest. Last the contested election case between Messrs, Koontz, Kendall, Sanner and Rowe week heard before Judge Simonton, of the Dauphin eoun- ty court, in Harrisburg. was The editor of this paper was there as a witness, and it was indeed amusing to note how little the Scull ring had to stand on in the case. The general opinion of dis- interested spectators seemed to be that the Scull candidates had a very weak ase, and if Koontz & Kendall are not declared the duly nominated candidates of the Republican party in this county, then indeed all signs must fail. The evidence was finished on Satur- day, but the attorneys of the two con- tending factions will not make their final arguments before the court until the present session of the regular Dau- phin county court of common pleas, convened on Monday of this week, is over. It is not likely that a decision will be rendered before about July 1st. About 90 witnesses went to Harris- burg from this county. Nearly all of the anti-ring crowd put up at the Ho- tel Columbus, while most of the other gang stopped at the Bolton house. In this connection we want to remark that the Bolton house was the proper place for the boltin’ gang or Scull ring bolters to stop. Some of the evidence was real inter- esting, and it was also real interesting to see “Timmie” up within the railing, trying to look important, and wearing his usual hyena grin and monkeylike smiles. :s ~~ Salisbury Railroad Sure to be Ex- tended. Srar is in a position to state positively that the Salisbury railroad will be extended about 12 miles into Garrett county, Md., at an early date. Jennings Brothers, who had the route surveyed as far south as the Manadier lands, have lately been buying in their options and rights of way. We were informed last week by Elijah Liven- good that Jennings Brothers,up to that time, had closed all the deals but four, his being included in the four not yet closed. Ile also informed us that Har- vey Livengood was paid the sum of $400 for the right of way through his Tie farm. Judging from this it will be plain that Jennings Brothers mean business, and that they have paid out a large sum of money to persons whose land the railroad will pass through. Building the road may not be started before next spring, but there are some who say that the grading will begin this summer, and very shortly, too, at The new extension will open up vast tracts that. of timber and mineral. =z ae Tue policy of expansion, whieh gives us a foothold in the East, which will open a new market in the Philippines, and enable us to increase our com- { merce with China, will be of ¢g bet to all our people, and mor i y to farmers and wage- nd | is beneath the critical moment agents of the Standard | support two | | d Crvinizariox and commerce alway Hawaii.

Easvey, writing from the Philippines to his mother in Ohio, says: “If some of those traitors in the United States had kept their mouths shut we would have had them (the Filipinos) whipped long ago.
