With the Machine—The Bosses are
Trying to lend the Republican
Party in Twain—They Care Only
for Themsclves—A Stinging Letter
From Mr. Ettla.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
Harrisburg, Aug. 14.—Matters politi-
cal in Pennsylvania are moving with
great rapidity as the primary election
season draws to a close. And the move-
ments are all against bossism, Quayism
and the allied evils that have cursed
the Republican party.
The signal triumph which the anti-
Quay people regard as the death blow
of bossism and the last straw to break
the back of Matthew Stanley Quay’s
ambition to go back to the senate was
the rout of the Quay machine forces
in Bradford county. The anti- -Quay
forces nominated a senator and three
members by over 1,500 mojority. The
county convention was held on Thurs-
day last and the contrcl of the county
committee passed into the hands of the
anti-Quay men. In York county on the
same day the control of the Republi-
can party there passed into the hands
of the anti-Quayites, Robert C. Bair
being elected county chairman.
FIGURES DO NOT LIE.
“Figures do not lie,” and hence the
following estimate and statement will
be read with great interest by every
man whose eves are on the trend of
events. This compilation of the rela-
tive strength of the contending powers
within the Republican party was pre-
pared from inside knowledge of facts
by the Philadelphia Press, and pre-
sented to its readers on Tuesd: ay last.
The Press says:
Republican primaries to select can-
didates for the house of representatives
of Pennsylvania have been held in 48,
of the 67 counties of the state, and all
but eight of the 26 districts in which
state senators are to he elected this
year have selected their Republican
candidates. The 48 counties and 42
including those in
which senators hold over, were repre-
sented in the last legislature as fol-
lows:

THE END OF QUAYISM.
In further discussion of these figures
and the situation, The Press, says:
“In the compilation of the foregoing
table, an effort has been made to get at
the exact result of the contest for con-
trol of the next legislature. The Quay
figures are more than generous. In
them are included Quay candidates for
both the senate and house, who have
been nominated in districts where fu-
sion between the anti-Quay Republi-
cans and Democrats is sure to be re-
sorted to with every prospect of de-
feating the machine representatives at
the polls in November.
“In at least a half dozen such dis-
tricts the majority of men who voted
for Mr. Quay during the last session of
the legislature, was so small that they
have no reasonable chance of re-elec-
tion.
“Ex-Senator Quay, who has kept a
close watch upon the contest, had ail of
the results except the one in Bradford
county in mind, before he left for
Maine last week, and prompted by
them, made his latest effort to induce
his followers to permit him to with-
draw from the senatorial race in which
he has felt for some time he was only
a stalking horse. He was induced, how-
ever, by the plea that such action
would injure the prospects of his Phila-
delphia friends, to withhold his exit
until after the Philadelphia primaries.”
The most startling development of
the last few days in the way of direct
political climax was the resignation of
Charles F. Ettla, one of the secretaries
of the Republican state committee. Mr,
Ettla has been identified with the state
committee for 16 years. He was sent
for by Chairman Reeder last week to
come to headquarters and resume his
position as one of the secretaries to the
committee.
WHY ETTLA QUIT.
Mr. Ettla declined the invitation. He
wrote a letter saying that the commit-
tee represented not the Republicans of
the state, but one man and that the
bosses in charge of the committee were
not even honest with that one man,
Mr. Quay. Mr. Ettla wrote two other
letters which are here reproduced. Mr.
Harrison is the Quay candidate for the
legislature in the Germantown dis-
trict of Philadelphia; Hon. John F.
Keator is the anti-Quay Republican
candidate. In his letter to Candidate
Harrison, Secretary Ettla says:
“Sometime during February of the
present year there appeared in the po-
litical columns of several Philadelphia
newspapers, articles to the effect that
vou would in all pr@bability be a can-
didate for representative. I wrote you
from Pittsburg at that time and in
words as nearly as I can now recall
that T would give you my support, ad-
ding that there was no one in the dis-
trict T would be better pleased to see
thought. Instead of getting together as
I anticipated, it has been all along and
is now the aim of the combine now in
control of city and state to tear the
Republican party asunder. As you have
been selected by this combine of party
wreckers as their candidate for the
nomination of representative in this
district I must withdraw my support
of your candidacy, and say frankly I
will join with my friends in German-
town and vicinity to further the nomi-
nation and election of Hon. John F.
Keator, believing that in giving my
support to Mr. Keator I am serving the
best interests of the Republican party
in city and state.’
In his letter to Mr. Keator proffering
him his support Secretary Ettla says:
HARD ON THE MACHINE.
“As to any further services on the
Republican state executive committee,
I have informed Gen. Reeder, the
chairman, that he is not to appoint me
to any place or to any special work
connected with the committee during
the campaign. Among my reasons for
refusing longer to identify myself with
the committee is that it fails to repre-
sent Mr. Quay, whom it professes to
represent, but simply voices the senti-
ments of a class of discredited poli-
ticians who have even lost interest in
their professed friend, Mr. Quay, let
alone having any interest in the Re-
publican party. I could no longer re-
main a member of this committee and
preserve my self respect. I declare
against the machine and from now on
intend to support anti-Quaylsm and
true Republicanism.”
And this from one who has followed
the fortunes of the machine for 16
years, and who possibly knows more of
its secrets than any man outside of Mr.
Quay himself. Can it be denied that
Quayism and the machine are on their
last legs?
Sa
School Principal a Poor Wrestler
and Fighter.
While in Somerset, last Saturday, we
were informed by a well known and re-
liable citizen of that town,that a school
principal who is well known to many
people in Salisbury got into trouble dur-
ing the wee, small hours of last Fri-
day night. We were told that the
school principal in this case was on a
big “bender,” and after becoming tired
of exercising his voice in song, (which
sounded like an old razor-back porker
rubbing his sides against a rough
board) he “got on his muscle” and
wanted to wrestle with another man.
Well, the wrestling match took place,
our informant said, and resulted in the
school principal being downed five times
straight. A little later, so our inform-
ant said, the great educator came to
the conclusion that he could fight bet-
ter than he could wrestle, but in this
he was also disappointed. When last
seen, we are reliably informed, the
man of letters and learning was nurs-
ing a very black and badly disfigured
eye. It is therefore evident that some
school principals can learn as well as
teach.
This brings to mind a little occur-
rence that took place in this town not
long ago, when a school principal was
howling drunk in a pool and billiard
room, where he was disposed to be
quarrelsome, and yanked off his coat
to fight one of our most peaceable and
inoffensive citizens.
God save the commonwealth when
such men are hired to teach school,
where secular education and good mor-
al training are supposed to be imparted
to the rising generation. School direc-
tors that knowingly support such de-
praved characters and vote to place
them at the head of any school should
lose no time in undoing their bad work
or in decency’s name retire from the
board and make room for directors
that will fill their office with regard
for the school laws, and with credit to
themselves, the schools and the com-
munity. The tickle-me-and-T’ll-tickle-
you business in school boards is alto-
gether too common. Evenhere in Sal-
isbury it is too common, and the offi-
cial actions of some of our directors are
not at all in keeping with their relig-
icus professions and claims to good
citizenship.

Before and After.
(L) (X)
Before. After.
By looking at the above illustrations
you can see the exact expression of
“Timmie” Scull’s countenance before
and after Judge Simonton’s decision.
How a Confluence Young Man Was
Gold-Bricked by the Scull
Machine.
“Timmie” tried to persuade the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Republican
county organization, last spring, not to
do its duty. By making a promise that
a Confluence young man should have a
position in the Census Bureau at a sal-
ary of $100 per month, the said “Tim-
mie” secured a proxy, bolted the
convention, tried to wreck the party,
and tried to steal two seats in the Leg-
islature. Now he is bawling over spill-
ed milk like a dehorned steer, but the
Confluence young man has no position
in Washington. “Timmie” never in-
tended that this young man should
have a position. The young man was
gold-bricked, that’s all.
~~
editor of the Somer-
ScuLy,
set Whine, continues to abuse and
throw mud at General Koontz, and
“TimMIe”
that’s what “Timmie” calls loyal sup-
port of the Republican ticket. But the
General does not mind “Timmie” a bit.
In fact he seems to enjoy “Timmie’s”
mud throwing, for it’s so amusing, and
it brings to mind the great truth that
the fools are not all dead yet. Let the
wall-eyed, lop-eared mule of the Her-
ald continue to bray,if he hasn’t got
sense enough to take Kendall’s Spavin
Cure, when there is no Barker’s Lini-
ment in sight.
Tne Democratic attempt to haul
down the Fourth of July will be every
bit as popular and successful as the
Democratic effort to hauldown the flag
in the Philippines,
that it ever enacted.
Ar the next fusion in Nebraska the
Democrats will doubtless be called up-
on to apologize for presuming to exist.
“Bryax, Adlai, Aguinaldo, Agoncillo
and Anti-Everything” will not be an
attractive combination for American
voters.
Tue Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson posses-
ses a keen faculty for adapting himself
to changed conditions. He now refers
to Democrats as “Bryan men.”
A porLitTICAL party that puts forth a
platform, and then tries to explain that
it doesn’t mean what it says, naturally
invites the suspicions of ihe voters.
Mr. Croker has instructed the Tam-
many orators to appeal to the young
men. He evidently hopes to make
headway with those who don’t have to
pay the ice bills.
Ix case Mr. Croker fails to rally the
young men of the country, the work
might be turned over to the Tammany
Ice Trust. It has a business like way
of going after things.
Or the several nominees for the
Presidency, Mr. Bryan is far the wealth-
iest, and he made all his money during
the prosperous times brought about by
the McKinley administration.
rn
MR. AvrrGeLp has pronounced Mr.
Bryan the greatest man in the eciviliz-
ed world; and Mr. Bryan has all along
contended that Mr. Altgeld is one of
the best judges of greattiess extant.
Tue Republican administration goes
to the country upon its accomplish-
ments. Incidentally, it will be mater-
ially strengthened at the ballot box by
the mistakes of the Democracy.
Tinos: who vote for Bryan vote to
abandon a condition more prosperous
than ever before enjoyed by any na-
tion, for the purpose of trying a finan-
cial experiment condemned by all na-
tions.
Ir the 16 to 1 proposition is not anis-
sue, why was it placed in the Kansas
City platform? If that plank is dishon-
est and doesn’t mean what it says,what
must the public think of the remainder
of the structure?
CHAIRMAN JONES fhinks o one may be
able to pick enough Democracy from
the Kansas City platform to stand up-
on. There are a great many distin-
guished Democrats who are not inclin-
ed to the Jones way of thinking.
Ir is remarkable how the leaders of
the Democratic party, while seated at
home or in committee, can give advice
as to the conduct of the war and criti-
cise the work of those who go to the
front and carry the flag to victory.
Mgr. BryaN’s recent silence is ac-
counted for by the fact that he was
spending a good deal of time trying to
decide whether to commence his
speeches with “My comrades of the
tented field” or “My fellow-farmers.”
————
Ir the Democrats elect their candi-
date for President, and elect a Demo-
cratic Congress, this fall, they feel sure
there will be nothing done to disturb
foreign shipping in its present enjoy-
ment of 93 per cent of our foreign car-
rying.
Ix one breath the Democratic orator
will assure his hearers that McKinley
has no backbone, that he is a creature
controlled by those around him, and
with the next breath will accuse him
of shaking the Republic t~ - Lu
order to erect a throne
thereof.

“I was a Democrat and a bolter in
1896,” declares the Hon. Thomas M.
Walter, of Connecticut, “and as the
situation has not changed, I am a Dem-
ocrat and bolter still.” The Democrat-
ic editors have devoted many columns
to abject failures to answer this Con-
necticut Democrat.
ee.
Some of Mr. Bryan’s injudicious
friends are trying to show that his sup-
port of the Paris treaty, like his 168 to 1
plank in the Kansas City platform,
didn’t mean anything. Mr. Bryan's
friends should step to one side and per-
mit their candidate to appear as a can-
did man in some matters.
Ix one year (1894) of Democratic
vote, the wage earners of the United
States depleted their savings deposits
by more than $37,000,000. Since Me-
Kinley has been President they have
earned enough to save and invest a
surplus in savings banks deposits alone
of more than $482,000,000. -
Tue Hon. James M. Beck, of Phila-
delphia, one of the leading lawyers of
that city, announces that “I am no
longer a Democrat. I don’t believe in
free silver, nor do I believe in hauling
down the flag in the Philippines.” It
must be conceded that Mr. Beck has
executed a very intelligent and busi-
ness like exit from the party of Bryan
and Aguinaldo.
WAT is Mr. J Fire an’s plan for the dis-
position of the Philippines? The only
inference from his speeches is that he
would let loose fair promises and hon-
eyed words, and on the strength of
these would withdraw the American
troops from the Philippines. What
would prevent, after withdrawal of the
American troops, the same horrors in
Manila that have visited Pekin? What
would become of the natives who had
helped to suppress the Tagal insurree-
tion after they were thus left to the de-
vices of Aguinaldo, whose cruelty
did not stop at the murder of his own
generals?
politic. Skin deep Republican prosper-
ity is a thousand-fold better than bone
deep Democratic hard times.
Tue Hon. E. Ellery Anderson, the
leading representative of the former
Southern men who make New York
their home and represent the large in-
terests of the South, has declared his
opposition to the Kansas City ticket.
He declares that the Democratic party
had far better suffer defeat than as-
sume the responsibility for a Bryan
administration.
Tir Democratic Memphis Commer-
cial-Appeal admits that Mr. Bryan
means 16 to 1, and has no patience with
those Democrats who are trying to ig-
nore the issue and take up the cry of
“Imperialism.” The Commercial-Ap-
peal is not over-enthusiastic for the
Kansas City ticket, but it prefers to be
honest with its readers, no matter how
distasteful the task may be.
Ir the Democratic party succeeds in
persuading the business man that free
silver will help business, and persuade
the laboring man that free trade will
help wages, and persuade the colored
man that he is better off without the
ballot than with it, and convince the
soldiers that their blood and bravery
has been spent in vain, then the party
may have some chance of winning,next
November.
Tue civil service reform plank, and
the income tax plank, and the calamity
plank, and the anti-Supreme Court
plank were all omitted from the Kan-
sas City platform. This makes the
structure so full of holes that some vig-
orous patching must be done at once,
or the candidates who try to stand up-
on it will find themselves falling
through, much to the detriment of both
their shins and dignity.
er —
Tue school teachers of Cuba had a
glorious trip to this country in the gov-
ernment transport. After going back
to Cuba they will be able to work with
broadened ideas and freshened zeal for
the welfare of the growing generation
of Cuba. This incident is part and
parcel of Republican “Imperialism.” It
is surprising that, as such, it is meet-
ing with no denunciation from the
oracles of the Democratic party.
Suvraeox Josern M. HELLER, who has
seen brave service in the Philippines
and has just gotten home, has given an
interesting description of a Filipino
fete in which a toast was drunk to
“Bryan and Aguinaldo.” Mr. Bryan
ought to send word to the Filipino
rebel chiefs, through Senator Petti-
grew, who seems a useful go-between,
that Mr. Stevenson is the candidate of
the Democratic party for vice president
and not Aguinaldo.
L BEAR E a
Ir will be remembered that Senator
Tillman, he of the pitchfork, helped to
write the Kansas City platform which
expresses such tender regard for the
rights, liberties and independence of
the brown man. But on the floor of
the Senate of the United States this
same Senator, while speaking of the
black men, said with pride:
“We stuffed ballot boxes, we shot
them ; we are not ashamed of it.”
The Senator must be an expert on
the relation existing between shades of
color and the degree of liberty that
Democracy should portion out to each.
a
Tue Republican party demonstrated
that self-government is not only possi-
ble, but honorable and full of glory.
The leaders of today take council of
the wisdom of the past. They are the

Porto Rico and will give freedom to the
Philippines which will best protect in-
dividual rights and guarau..- ‘he re-
spect of other powers. This is the Im-
perialism of true freedom, the royalty
of justice, and will soon be recognized
as the crowning glory of national
achievement.
Tue “Full Dinner Pail” is an argu-
ment for the farmer as well as for the
city laborer. Who supples what is put
in the pail? The farmer. If the city
laborer has wages cat in two by free
silver, and is put out of a job by the
closing of the mills, the farmer suffers
equally; for the farmer may give away,
but he cannot sell the products of his
farm which the city laborer cannot af-
ford to buy. Itis because of the “full
dinner pail” that the farmer is getting
so much better prices for what he sells
than he could get before the election of
McKinley. It is because of the “full
dinner pail” that he has paid off his
mortgages, and become a lender of
money where he used to be a borrower.
His Home Paper.
“It’s strange,” said the celebrated
author, recently, “and yet not strange
—how these old associations cling to
us! I was born in a rural district, and
40 years ago, the little country weekly
was the only literature we had. It was
published every Saturday, and when it
didn’t come out ‘on time’ everybody
was in a flurry. Well, I have not visit-
ed my birthplace in 20 years, but dur-
ing all that time I have been a sub-

SoMmEBODY ougt the Somer-
set Herald calf for in its
frantic efforts to become disentangled
and bellow at the e time there is
danger of strangulation. *Some calves
are never satisfied unle they always
have a teat to suck at, and that’s what
ails “Timmie” Scull. He told some of his
fool friends before he went to Harris-
burg as a witness in the contested elee-
tion case that the Scull faction had the
party rules and the law against them,
but added sneeringly that Sanner and
Rowe would get the decision anyway.
Because the case was to be tried by a
judge who is a warm friend of Mr.
Quay, “Timmie” gave it out that San-
ner and Rowe would surely win, which
was virtually admitting that Judge Si-
monton would violate his oath of office
and commit a high crime in order to
help Sanner and Rowe steal the seats
of Koontz and Kendall in the Legisla-
ture. But the Dauphin county court,
be it said with much credit to the zame,
scorned the idea of committing a crime
in order to foster the Somerset county
branch of the Quay machine, and the
case was accordingly decided by Judge
Simonton in favor of Koontz and Ken-
dall, the candidates legally and hon-
estly entitled to the nomination. Let
“Timmie” continue to bellow, but he
ought to have more rope, for there is
danger of his choking to death on the
stuff he is trying to palm off on his
readers for the truth.
It comes with a poor grace from
modern so-called Democrats to oppose
expansion—even island expansion—
when that has been the traditional
policy of the party from the days of
Jefferson to the days of Buchanan.
In 1846 President Polk offered to pur-
chase Cuba from Spain for the sum of
$100,000,000, though he had no author-
ity from Congress to make the proposal
and he certainly could not have obtain-
ed the money without such authority,
had Spain accepted. But the offer was
refused.

Again in 1824, under the administra-
tion of President Pierce, our then min-
isters to England, France and Spain,
who were James Buchanan, James Y.
Mason and Pierre Soule, met at Os-
tend and issued the famous Ostend
manifesto, which in effect was that if
Spain should refuse to sell Cuba to the
United States for $120,000,000, “we
should be justified by every law, hu-
man and divine, in wresting it from
Spain if we possess the power.”
This came to nothing, but in the next
administration President Buchanan in
three of his annual messages to Con-
gress urged that Cuba ought to be
made by purchase a part of the United
States. A bill for the purchase of Cuba
was introduced during Buchanan's
term by Senator Slidell, but failed of
adoption.
In both the Democratic platforms of
1860—the Breckenridge and the Doug-
las—there were planks favoring the
annexation of Cuba. :
But not only did Democratic Presi-
dents favor the annexation of Cuba,
but an effort was made by President
Pierce to anuex Hawaii, and a treaty
of annexation was made by our minis-
ter to the Hawaii s, David L.
Gregg. The President aid not
of some of the arti s of the tres
cause they provided for the immediat2
incorporation of the islands as an inde-
pendent state in the Union. He wish-
ed to receive them as a territory, leavy-
ing the question of statehood to future
determination. The negotiations sub-
quently failed, owing to the death of
the King of the islands. Forty-four
years later President McKinley sue-
cessfully established the policy initia-
ted by President Pierce.

The Southern people are now and al-
ways have been in favor of expansion,
It was through the influence of the
South and of Southern statesmen that
Louisiana, Florida, Texas, California
and Oregon were acquired. Imperial-
ism is the traditional policy of the
South, if expansion means imperialism.
No part of the Union was more eager
to free Cuba from the Spanish oppres-
sion than the South. It was the south-
ern Democrats in Congress who united
with the Republicans of the Northwest
and far West to bring on the war.
Certainly there were no more gal-
lant soldiers in the war than General
Wheeler, General Fitzhugh Lee and
others whose names are known through
out the country. With such a record
in bringing on the war and fighting it
to a successful issue, why the South
should oppose President McKinley for
attempting to secure the results of the
war is more than ean easily be under-
stood. On the issue of imperialism the
South stands with McKinley. Why
should it not support him?
A review of the past platforms of
the Democratic party will reveal the
fact that the party is short on promises
fulfilled and long on false prophesies,
It declared that the war was a failure;
it wasn’t. It declared that free trade
would bring prosperity; it didn’t. I¢
said that the gold standard would
cause a paaic; it didn’t. It promised
to benefit the laboring man; it didn’t,
Having failed in all its promises, it
now comes up with a new stock decls
ed to do better than the old and gsks
