IIIH Fee Tliroe Times Larger Than the Amount Recovered—'The Accusa tion, the Admission, and All the Details. In the Philadelphia Press of April 18, 1897, was an address delivered by Major George W. Merrick, of Tioga county, who was a schoolmate of Colonel W. A. Stone, the Republican candidate for governor, in which he said: "I have undertaken to state from the stump that Colonel William A. Stone, now of Allegheny, late of Tioga county, is the slated candidate for governor: that his candidacy was agreed upon by the powers that be some two years since; that he had served the machine faithfully, during the whole of his po litical life; that he said to me fre quently during the past eight years that his great ambition in politics was to be governor, but that he could not be a candidate for office until the 'Old Man' said so, but he would be when he did say so; that two years ago in the senatorial campaign, he made the de claration that his relations to Mr. Quay were such that his political fortunes would rise or fall with those of Mr. Quay. I asserted also that I did not deem him a safe man for governor to stem the tide of corrupt approach upon the state treasury, since in private life he had charged the state SIO,OOO for collecting $2,400. "Mr. Stone has undertaken to deny the last statement. Addressing a meeting at Royersford, April 13, he said: 'lt has been said that I charged the state SIO,OOO for a case which re turned $2,400. I never made a charge against the state.' By this statement I understand Colonel Stone to deny the allegation that he received a fee of $lO,- 000 for collecting $2,400. Does he mean to charge me with accusing him false ly? I will submit the record, and you may judge, gentlemen, who is guilty of duplicity. "In Colonel Stone's speech last week In Williamsport he said, alluding to this charge: *1 was pained when mv old comrade, Mr. Merrick, stated here in the citv of Williamsport, not for the purpose of helping me but to injure me, that I had charged the state of Pennsylvania SIO,OOO for collecting $2,- 400. This is an old story and retold In the campaign against me in 1890, but 1 never lost a vote. I never denied the facts, and I do not deny them now, but I never presented a bill or made any charge. That is 12 years ago, and Is known to everybody in Allegheny county, and now Major Merrick is re viving that old tale.' "Well, gentlemen, that is a pretty broad admission of the truth of my charge against Brother Stone, but Mr. Stone is mistaken when he charges me with reviving this old tale. On Dec. 14, 1897, a clergyman of Wellsboro wrote him as to the truth of this allegation, asking for information, saying: 'ln ref erence to the past record to which you refer, I would say that for some years there has been a report current here that once in a case In which you col lected a claim for the commonwealth in the amount of about $3,000 you charged and received a fee of $10,000; the story seems to be well supported. If it is true it would suggest some doubt as to the propriety of placing you in the high and responsible control In the office you seek in the affairs of our commonwealth. I shall be pleased to receive an answer to this question.' "In reply to this letter Candidate Stone, in a letter dated Washington, Dec. 20, 1897, from which I now read, said: 'The matter of the fee which you speak of occurred nearly 12 years ago. My fee was not fixed by me, but it was fixed at the request of the auditor gen eral by attorneys in Pittsburg at $lO,- 000, which the state paid me. Of course I am aware that my enemies will raise many objections to my candidacy,which will appear from time to time In the newspapers, but It is not my purpose, nor has it been my practice, to pay at tention to them.' " Major Merrick is a prominent attor ney. He is a Republican and a na tive of the county where Candidate Stone was born, and lived many years. He was Stone's schoolmate and his friend in later years. He was every thing that would have inclined him to be Stone's friend. Charges of so grave a character, coming from such a source, would be a serious business, even without Stone's admission of their truth, as above avowed. Its Purity Is Guaranteed.
