Governor Pattison will go out of office to morrow with a general recognition of the In tegrity of purpose which has marked his public j career. No State administration ever had less j influence with its party; and yet it has been, all in all, an administration against which nothing can bo said. The integrity of Governor Patti son's purpose and the excellence of his inten tions will not be questioned. His hobbies were often sneered ut and bis wisdom challenged, | but not his honesty.— From the Philadelphia ! Press, January 17,1887. IN Chauncey F. Black the friends of ballot and taxation reform will find their stanchest assistant. His labor for years has been spent to accomplish these reforms, and long before this campaign opened he was working hard for the introduction of the Aus tralian system of noting in the State. Chauncey F. Black and btdlot reform have been synonymous for years. THE tour of Candidates Pattison, Block and Barclay through the State is a series of ovations, Jai-ge crowds of enthusiastic people greeting the j distinguished party of Demscrats wherever they stop. Evidences of Re publican revolt are seen in all parts of the State. Republican voters are boldly and fearlessly announcing their intention to support the Democratic State ticket. THE farmers of this country sell their products in competition with all the world. The workingmen sell their labor in competition with the pauper labor of all the world right here at home. Are not the farmers and work ingmen of tliis country "blockheads" to go on voting for protection which does not protect—which compels them to pay tribute to the manufacturers alone, who do not number more than one in a thousand of our population ? FROM every part of the State comes cheerful news respecting the success of the Democratic candidates. Po litical lines are obliterated in every section, and Republicans are working for Pattison's success even harder than the strongest Democrats. The friends of Delamater, who were claim ing 50,000 plurality for him, have lowered their estimate to 15,000 or 20,000, while the Democratic manag ers confidently assert that Pattison will he elected by over 50,000. Vote for the Grand Old Ticket of 'B2. SENATOR WALLACE has arrived from Europe and from now until the elec tion will take an active part in the Gubernatorial campaign. On Satur day evening he appeared on the plat form of the Academy of Music in Philn delphia along with ex-Governor Pattison, and began his active cam- J paign for the success of the Demo cratic ticket. Wallace will ac- j company Pattison in several counties and every day he can spare from pressing business exactions will be given to the campaign until election , day. THE solid and substantial merit of the Democratic Congressional, County and Legislative ticket challenges the confidence and doubtless will secure ) the support of that solid and substau- ! tial class of independent voters who are in the habit of looking at their ballots before they vote. There will be no occasion of independent politi j eal action in order to secure honest \ government since the Democrats have placed such an admirable ticket in the 1 field. There is not a man among the Democratic nominees that a stickler for honesty, capacity or fitness can find fault with. ON January 17, 1887, the Philadel phio J'rn.ia did not think that Robert E. Pattison would he brought forward as a candidate for Governor in 1890. It had nothing to gain then by mis representing his career while he was in office, and in an editorial that day highly complimented the integrity and honesty of the retiring Governor. Pattison has done nothing since that could alter the opinion confessed then by the Preat (part of which appears at the head of this column), anil its present opposition to him is wholly in defeience to the orders of Matt t ) ll ny, whose power over the bosß ridden or gans of Pennsylvania is a disgrace to honest journalism. A Letter to Harrison. The Lincoln Independent Republican Committee, of Philadelphia, has ad dressed the following letter to President Harrison : To the President. SIR :—We respectfully ask your consid eration of the accompanying appeal and of matter relative to the same, addressed by the Lincoln Independent Republican Committee to the people of Pennsylvania, which in our judgment involves a ques tion of national importance. This ap peal calls upon our citizens to vote for i the Democratic candidate for Governor at the approaching election as a rebuke to the Republican party of this State, which has in its platform of principles fully en dorsed the public character of our junior Senator, Matthew S. Quay, and has ac cepted a candidate for Governor of his choice and at his dictation. The request is extraordidary, but the reasons for mak ing it are still more so, and they are of such a nature as, in our opinion, fully to justify us in presenting it to the public. | The pamphlet to which we ask your attention contains statements of undis puted fact concerning Mr Quay and un answered, and as we believe, unanswer able charges against him. The facts and charges are so grave as to render Senator Quay's control of the political af fairs of his party in this State and of its national committee hurtful to the in terests of this commonwealth and inju rious to the reputation of the Republican party throughout the country. Our pamphlet shows, first by quota tions from Mr. Quay's record while a member of the Pardon Board of Pennsyl vania that he defeated the ends of jus tice by securing the speedy release from prison of men who bad been duly con victed and sentenced by the Court for bribing members of the State Legislature. The audacity of this act called forth at the time the indignant protest of the Re publican press of the State, of the min isters of religion and of good citizens generally. This cfiarge, being a matter of public record, admits of noquestionor doubt. It alone should have relegated Mr. Quay forever to private life. It did not do so; but it has, of necessity, made every honest and courageous man, who is cognizant of the facts, his enemy so long as he retains control of public af fairs. Second, a still more serious charge, which is fully stated in the accompanying pamphlet, arraigns Mr. Quay for various embezzlements of the funds of the State. This charge is so specific, it has so re peatedly been made and it is so widely believed that, under normal conditions of public sentiment, Mr. Quay would have been compelled to answer it or fail under its withering assault. He has done neither. It it he true as has been openly asserted by a distinguished Republican, that the decalogue has no place in modern politics Mr. Quay's silence is justified, but as we are of those who still believe that the common code of right and wrong covers all human action, and that politics are not excepted from this rule, we assert that he should show that he is guiltless of these charges, or promptly retire from public life. We ask the people of Pennsylvania to vote for the Democratic candidate for i Governor—a man of tried and unimpeach ! able character—because his opponent, by , the circumstances under which hisnomi | nation was secured and by the clear de claration of the platform on which he Btands, is the representative of Mr. I Quay. His election will be accepted as a vindication of Mr. Quay in the eyes of the State and of the country. The issue is plain. In the interest ol | sound public morals and of primitive Re publican faith we seek the political down i fall of a man whose public record dis j honors himself, bis party and his State, j There is but one alternative—either Mr. Quay must he shorn of political power oi tne Republican party must lose its high ; name as the party of progress and the I representative of great moral ideas. II must accept the ignoble title of the party of immoral ideas, whose claim to powei is no longer right, but might, and whose appeal is not now, as in the days of Lin j coin, addressed through lofty and legiti mate argument to the reason of the peo pie, to their native sense of justice am of truth; it will then become a party whose youthful aspiration is sunk ir hopeless corruption and whose purse strings have strangled its patriotism. To avert such a catastrophe we appea j to you, as the Chief Magistrate of the j nation, to aid us in this struggle by with I drawing from Mr. Quay the patronage ol Pennsylvania, the responsibility foi | which has been placed by the constitutor j in your hands. It is in this delegated 5 power to give and withhold office, tobribi | and punish, that Mr. Quay's strengtl largely lies; withhold it from him am j his political power will cease to exist. The address is signed by Joel J. Baily Chairman; If. Welsh, Secretary anc Treasurer, and by forty other member! of the committee. Elect HoneHt Men for CominlHitioners. Though one of the least on the lisi in the usual order of proceedings of the formation of a ticket, the office of County Commissioner is of the iff most importance. They levy the county taxes / and expend the money collected. They should be men of prudence who would he entrusted with private affiairs of magnitude. No one with a business of any import ance would think for one moment of en trusting it to some one who was incapable of managing his own affairs. The peo ple want economy in nublicexpenditures. They do not want Commissioners who will be owned or controlled in the in terest of any set of politicians. They should be men of good judgment, who can and will act in the interest of the taxpayers. No money can he paid out of the county treasury except on the order and approval of the Commissioners and when the Commissioners are incapable how can the citizens expect business-like public service? Let us have men big enough to do what is right in the face of any and all influences. Elect Messrs. McGraw and Dullard and you will have such men. Democracy PrcHcntH a Solid Front. Not one Democrat in the Senate or in the House viction with it for the time being, even ■ though subsequent reflection shows in i security in his premises and flaws in his argument. He contributes-to the current number of the Forum an article in which lie seizes upon the politico-economic questions of the day, and deftly turns them to the support of the theory enun ciated in "Looking Backward" —govern- ment control of everything. Mr. Bellamy starts in with his argi ment at the most accessible p int, gov ernment control of railways and tele- j graphs, lie makes no violent assault < upon public opinion here, because this proposition was made long ago, and is already supported by a pretty large body of the people. He argues that there is no real distinction between iron roads and dirt roads; the authority that con trols one should control the other, and, as highways have been government works from time immemorial, so rail ways should be owned by the govern ment and operated in the interests of the whole people. Similarly, it has always been the busi ness of the government to transport mails. But the primary object of the mails is to transmit communications from one persons to another, newspapers and merchandise being later additions to the contents of the mail bags. What essen tial difference, then, asks Mr. Bellamy, is there between those sent by post and those sent by wire ? One method is more expeditious than the other, to he sure, but if it is the government's business to forward one, why should it not be the government's business to forward the other? To the argument that both in this case and in the case of the railroads vast amounts of private capital have been invested, which the government could scarcely ufford to replace, he replies that the greater nart of this capital rep resents inflation neyond the actual cost of the works; that it would serve the specu lators who "watered" the stocks right if they were made to sacrifice the ad ditional amounts, and that the fact that most of the corporations are able to pay dividends on their inflated canital is proof that the government coulu afford to buy them up even at these fictitious i valuations. ! Furthermore, Mr. Bellamy would have : the government operate the telephones, the coal mines and the express service— the last in conjunction with the mails, j lie would have local public services, I such as transit, lighting, heating ami the water supply, furnished by the munici pality, and not by corporations. In fact, lie has very little regard for corporations of any kind, and would like to see them i all abolished. He calculates that when the changes alluded to have been accom plished there will be a body of nearly two million workers in the public service. He would have these graded and sys tematized, and make them the nucleus of a bodv of co-operative national in dustries, both manufacturing and agri cultural, together with a system of dis tribution, which would ultimately be come universal. Ilis ideas may not be practicable, but they are novel, and to many minds attractive. At all events, , they will bear thinking over by persons to whom the present unsettled state of the labor world is a matter of grave - concern.
