DIRTY CAMPAIGNING.
Monday's Philadelphia Inquirer
Bays the campaign of defamation be
gun at the ratification meeting con
ducted under tho auspices of Mr.
Harrlty is continued by the Demo
Icratio organs, notably the Times. It
5t will be remembered that in that re
markable document promulgated by
tho ratification meeting Htato
Treasurer Boyer was "urralgtied und
condemned," not because he had done
anything, but because ho was a Re-
f publican and it was considered the

Following out the lino of defamation
the immaculate Times, always in the
lead when some Job like South Moun
tain or the sale of tho gas works Is
being engineered by the vultures,
assails Boyer for having dared to leave
the state for a few days of fishing. It
says among other things :
Tho topic of discussion at the State
Capital to-day Is the disappearance of
so many Treasury and ex-Treasury
oillclalc It Is regarded as a strange
coincidence that simultaneously with
tho nalllnir together of the Legislative
flB iTnvpHt.li'atlntr f!ommltteo durlnir tho
' ' past week Boyer should be in Canada,
Iilvsey in Milwaukee or somewhere
else and that Quay should have taken
a cottaee by the sea sands of New
Jersey, where his family Intend to
join him.
This Is about as mean a fling as even
the Times is capablo of. Of course,
, Quay is at Atlantic City for the sole
purposo of escaping the Investigating
j, Commlttea. He never goes there for
I any other reason. His interests are in
1 Pennsylvania. His homo is In this
JL state. He is in Atlantic, not for the
purpose of fishing, but to escape tho
questions of a committee. Of course,
IT he will continue a fugitive. He will
give up his home and his office and
remain by the seashore, just because a
Legislative Committee Is taking testi
mony a committee that began opera
tions lone before the Senator's fllcht.
y The Innuendo concerning Boyer la
A) on a par with the declaration concern-
adds :
People are recalling the fact that
Boyer was the first witness examined
by tho committee, that his examina
tion was very perfunctory, being
confined to a few questions about the
condition of the Treasury when ho
took charge of it ; the banks In which
the state money was deposited and the
exact condition of the money deposited

by his bondsmen to make good tho
Jamison and Delamater losses, aud
that ho started for Canada on a fishing
excursion tho next morning.
Doubtless such attacks aro pleasing
to the Harrlty combine, but thero are
some Democrats left who decline to
support tho newspaper in his course of
defamation. John Fow Is a member
of the Investigating Committee, and
is a Democrat. He put the questions
to Boyer. Says Mr. Fow in indigna
tion to tho Times reporter :
There was nothing perfunctory about
It. In point of fact, the Treasurer was
on the stand over two hours and we
got from hi in all tho Information we
expected to get. Nobody believes that
Mr. Boyer has actual knowledge of
anything criminally wrong. Tho
crooked work is done by outsiders, and
I for one did not expect to connect
Mr. Boyer with the looting of the
Treasury that has been going on for so
long. As for his being out of the
jurisdiction of the committee, I know
that lie is In Canada, whero he is
heavily interested In valuable fishing
grounds, but I am satisfied that lie is
I willing at any time to give us what In
formation ho can and to aid us lu re
moving the load of disgrace that
Pennsylvania is now staggering un
der. I myself asked him every per
tinent question I could think of, aud
hla answers were in every instance
clear and satisfactory.
Tho facts concerning Mr. Boyer are
just these, and they wore easily ob
tainable by the Times had It used the
slightest possible effort to learn them:
Mr. Boyer Is in the habit of making
an annual trip to Cauada to fish. He
delayed his vacation in order to appear
before the committee, and thero was
not a member of it that did not
know tlita and did not further know
of his. Intentions, tgjjake his vacation
as soon as his examination was "over."
Captain Skinner, another Democratic
member of the committee, adds to
Mr. Fow's announcement:
The committee knew that Treasurer
Boyer was going on his vacation, and
we arranged with him for a further
examination upon his return. I am
sure that Boyer did not run away
from tho committee, aud I know that
the committee will examine him npon
all points in connection with the
Treasury upon his return. It hasbeen
Treasurer Boyer's custom for several
years to spend a few weeks in Canada
gunning and fishing. He Is a mem
ber of a club which owns a great many
acres of woodland. The Treasurer
will probably return In a week or two.
This ought to be sufficient to satisfy
any honorable person, but tho vultures
will still flap their wings.
