What a Really Independent Republican Paper Has to Say Upon the Subject and Regarding the Chances in the Guberna torial Contest—How Independent Voters Can Make Their Votes Count For Reform. The Pittsburg Dispatch is the lending independent Republican paper of west ern Pennsylvania. It is independent in fact, and not alone by profession. It is owned and edited by men who have convictions, are not afraid or ashamed to express them, and it labors diligently and effectively for reform—within its party lines when possible; outside them when duty to the state and people de mands. The following editorial article appeared in the Dispatch of Oct. 12; The citizen who desires in this elec tion to cast his vole for clean govern ment, irrespective of the ordinary ties of party, will naturally ask: "How can I make my vote most effective to secure that end?" He has two candidates to choose from. Jenks and Swallow. Both men are sincere and conscientious; each stands for honest government, and ei ther one, If elected, will faithfully do his best, according to his ability, to ben efit the whole people and not corpora tions or political machines. How shall the voter choose between them? The intelligent voter,carefully studying this question, will make his decision by the answers to the two following ques tions: First, which of these two -andi dates is likely to receive the largest vote, and, therefore, which is my vole most likely to help In electing; and, sec ond, which of the two is the best equipped to serve in public affairs, and, therefore, will be most efficient in carry ing out the public work of reform? Take the facts, and there is little doubt as to the answer to either question. First. Mr. Jenks has the united Demo cratic vote of Pennsylvania for a nu cleus. At the last election for governor, with an apathy that was overwhelming, the vote was 333,404; at the election for governor before that It was 464,200; at the national election of 1896 it was 427,- 125; at the national election of 1892 it was 452.264. The average of these votes Is 420,000. On the other hand, Dr. Swallow has the Prohibition vote for a nucleus. This vote In IS9O was 16,108, and in 1894 It was 23,433. Last year, when, except for Mr. Thompson's candidacy, Dr. Swallow was the candidate dis tinctly representing reform, he polled 120,000 votes; in the presidential elec tion of 1896 the Prohibition ticket re ceived 19,274 votes. If we take the av erage of the Prohibition vote, as In the Democratic case, it lias been 45,000. The average Republican vote for the same elections has been 532,000. It will take the change of but 56,000 independent Republicans to overcome the average Republican plurality. It would require a change of 243,500 votes to bring the average Prohibition vote up to the average Republican; or if we suppose Dr. Swallow to start with his vote of last year, the change required will be 206,000. In other words, an Independent Republican vote given to Jenks will be nearly four times as effective as one given to Swallow. Second. The independent voter wants the best equipped man in office. A conscientious voter will select the one who, by training and experience, can do the best work for reform. Which of the two is it? Every one admits that George A. Jenks is a man of marked standing and high ability at the bar. He has had experience in the making of laws, in the interpretiTtion of them and in their administration. He has served in congress; he took a leading place among the noted men who ap peared in the Hayes-Tilden controver sy, and efficiently discharged the duties of solicitor general of the treasury. Dr. Swallow's life lias been that of a min ister of the gospel, an editor of a weekly paper, and an agresslve free lance candidate for state treasurer. Honorable and useful records, both of them, hut can there be any doubt as to which affords the best evidence of qualification for the discharge of the duties of the governorship as the peo ple want them discharged? when these facts have fully impress ed themselves on the public mind there should be little doubt as to where the independent vote will go. Every citi zen can settle the subject by asking himself which of the two men he would employ if he had private business to he managed approaching in gravity and complicated character that which the governor of Pennsylvania must conduct for the people.

THE DEMOCRATS MUCH ELATED. ; A ROUSING GATHERING OF PARTY WORKERS IN PHILADELPHIA. Every Indication Points to Success For Jenks— All the Party Factions United For the State Ticket—Philadelphia Prom ises to Make a Good Showing—No Dem ocratic Votes For Swallow—Pattison, Hensel and Hundreds of Others on the Stump. The Democracy of Pennsylvania Is ; much elated. It has good cause to be. It has been demonstrated to practi j cally everybody's satisfaction that j Swallow cannot possibly win, that | many thousands of Republicans (Mr. I Wanamaker says 400,000) will not vote | for Stone and that the Democrats are ! practically solid for Jenks. On Friday of last week more than 200 county chairmen and Democratic leaders assembled in Philadelphia, on Invitation of Chairman Garman, to | take counsel as to the situation. | Ex-Postmaster Larkin, of Pittsburg, 1 u veteran in the party ranks, said: "I have attended every meeting the state | Democrats have held for the last 20 years and I never saw a gathering as hopeful, as enthusiastic and with facts and ligures to present as encouraging for Democratic success." Gold men and silver men, all the factions and phases of the party fol lowing, were represented. Here ts a partial list of those who were there: W. IT. Hensel, of Lancaster: Judge Harman Yerkes, Bucks: E. F. Kerr, Bedford: County Chairmen J. F. An , cona and IV. Schafner, of Berks; ( Chairman T. J. Burke, Blair; Chairman Joseph Gray and Edward Homer Bailey, Cambria; Chairman John Cava naugh, Chester; P. Gray Meek, Centre; Chairman John G. McHenry and J. J. | Vanderslice, Columbia; Dr. E. M. j Thompson and Matt Savage, Clear | field; Jere Zeamer, Cumberland; Dr. J. J. Fritsehe and T. K. Vandyke, Dauphin; Henry Fretzinger, Delaware: i Andrew Kaul, Elk; W. T. Henderson, | Huntingdon; Samuel States, Jefferson; | Paul Dasch, Luzerne; W. M. Brinton, W. Hayes Grier and James W. Aiken, | of Lancaster; C.B. Staples. Monroe; W. B. Hastings, Northumberland; J. W. I Moyer, J. Irwin Steel, Schuylkill; F. A. Fry, Perry; B. A. Brown, Union; Har j vey Sickler and Aivin Day, Wyoming; j J. W. Malloy, Carbon; T. F. Minehart. I Franklin; G. B. M.

Toole, Clearfield; Judge R. 1,. ; Crawford, Greene; ex-Senator Laubach, [ Northampton; James B. Morehead, | Westmoreland; James M. Guffey, W. J. Brennan and J. B. Larkin, Alle gheny; Congressman Ermentrout, | Berks; Robert K. Wright and Marshall | Wright, Lehigh; General W. W. H. Davis and Chairman W. S. Long, cf Bueks; ex-Congressman Simon P. Wolverton. Northumberland; ex- Congressman John B. Storm. Monroe; j ex-Senator Vandegrift, of Bucks. | Magistrate Donnelly, representing j the Ryan Philadelphia committee, made a ringing speech in the afternoon ' pledging a large vote in Philadelphia for Jenks, and Magistrate Peter J. i Hughes, of the Delahunty committee, made an equally inspiring address in the evening along the same line. What ever their local differences, the Demo | erats of Philadelphia and united for the . state ticket. The reports from every county as to the situation and prospects were cheer lng. The following extracts from the i story as told in the Philadelphia Rec ord of Saturday, are given as samples: William J. Brennen said that 90 per cent of the lawyers of the bar in Al legheny would soon, through their rep resentatives on the stump, denounce the machine, and that the Republicans were badly divided. Mr. Larkin said there were but few, if any, Allegheny county Democrats who had any sym pathy for Dr. Swallow. | "Berks can be relied upon for a g-jod, old fashioned Democratic majority," raid Congressman Ermentrout. "We are more thoroughly united than for years; the opposition to us is badly di vided." Chairman Aneona, of Berks, said that for eight weeks, while out organizing, ho had been in direct con tact with the voters. He found no dis affection. He did not believe Swallow would get more than 15 Democratic votes in the county. EX-CHAIRMAN WRIGHT SAN GUINE. Ex-State Chairman Robert K. Wright or Lehigh said; "In my county Mr. Jenks will receive a larger majority over Quay's man, Stone, than any Democrat has ever received over any Republican. Our lines in Lehigh are in tact. Swallow has been up there and made a thorough canvass. Last year h< received 800 votes. This year he will likely get 2,000. Of these 98 per cent will be Republican. I have made it my business to look up the Swallow senti ment among the Democrats, and my experience us a campaigner makes me believe that percentage to be correct. "There is not a single Democrat who left the party In 1896 who is not now back In the ranks with his coat off for Jenks, who will have a majority over Swallow and Stone. WOLVERTON ON REPUBLICAN DI VISION. i Ex-Congressman Simon P. Wolverton said: "I am well informed of the condi tions in my congressional district. I do not believe there Is a Democrat In the organization of that district who ; will not vote for the Jenks ticket. The ; Republicans are divided. The inde j pendent element is strong, and there is an intense feeling against the machine that forced William A. Stone upon the Harrlsburg convention—the same ma chine that forced the abominable bills through the last legislature. The Quay | organization is Industriously circulat ing a story that Swallow will poll a i larger vote than Jenks, but our peo ple understand the source of this cam paign canard, as well as they under ! stand that every vote for Swallow is a | half vote for Stone. A great many Re -1 publicans.wlio are saying nothing will The Democratic Reform Nominees for State Offices. "V,, as, - ANT 9 ° "• <ufe-(&f/'/5V^^~N - cJVD&e- For V o° VjODoEr •) C> rv / Qj)V CSove-RrtOß ,\-—; (O v o= iAf\7^S> ib, Cb I tJ^^ ) vote tor Jenks. it is my honest benel that Mr. Jenks will get every Demo cratic vote In Northumberland county." MYERS ON SURPRISING DISCOV ERIES. "Swqjlow carried my county by 1,200 last year," said B. P. Meyers, of Dauphin. "He received a large number of Democratic votes then. He will hardly get one Democratic vote now, where he got seven last year. But there will be a large shrinkage? in the Repub lican vote. The votes lost for Stone will be divided between Jenks and Swallow. The feeling against the machine be cause of its miserable record, and the factional fights, are having a good ef fect for Mr. Jenks. I think on election day it will be shown that Dauphin county will repudiate its title of 'the seat of corruption.' "I would surprise you were I to name some of the reputable business and pro feslonal men of Dauphin who are qui etly yet actively working for Mr. Jenks. The number of such men would also surprise you. As to the state generally, I believe Mr. Jenks will poll 450,000 Democratic votes, or enough to elect him. The great number of independ ent votes he receives over that figure Will constitute a handsome majority." Ex-Congressman John B. Storm, of Monroe, back In the party harness with renewed vigor, said: "Out of a popu lation of 20,000, of whom 4,000 are vot ers, Monroe county will give Jenks a majority of 2.000. Swallow will cut no figure this year. I believe the honest people are so thoroughly aroused this year that they will effectually wipe out that band of robbers and thieves at Harrlsburg." GUFFEY NEVER SAW BETTER SIGNS. Colonel J. M. Guffey was cheered when the chairman called uron him. "In this contest," he said, "we find a badly divided Republican party, a thoroughly united and harmonious Democratic party. This condition abounds in every county of the state. The Democrats of Pennsylvania need do but one thing in this contest—let us be what we are. When we analyze the Democratic vote for the past 15 years, consider the fac tional difficulties we have gone through, and the unquestioned effect they have had in preventing us from getting out our full vote; then turn to the present, perceiving no factional disputes, every one working In the cause of common honesty, the outlook is Indeed encour aging. I have never In my political ex perience found the Democratic organiz ation so well aroused, united, aggres sive and earnest as it is just now." UNITED IN SCHIJYLKLL. J. W. Moyer, of Schuylkill, said: "We are solidly united. Our party was never in better shape. The Republicans are divided. Many of them are working with our organization. We will elect our congressman against the sitting Republican member, Mr. Brumm, anti- Quay assemblymen and a full county ticket." Equally encouraging reports wore made by Scth McCormick of Lycoming county; Jere Zeamer of Cumberland; J. J. Vanderslice of Columbia; James B. Moorhead of Westmoreland; Edward Homer Bailey of Cambria county, and W. R. Brinton of Lancaster. PLUM TREE SERVING A GOOD PURPOSE. C. Ben Johnson, chief of the state •"•mtuitlec's literary bureuu, said, that tour or nve independent nepumican newspapers and several labor papers were supporting Jenks. Mr. Johnson, in his long experience as an editor, had never known the Democratic newspa pers to be so well united as at present for Jenks. He specified The Record and Pittsburg Dispatch as doing ex cellent work for better state govern ment. These journals and the county newspapers, he said, contained abund ant material for the Democratic and independent speakers throughout the state. The 250 Democratic newspapers of the state never did better or more ef fective work than they are now doing. CARMAN'S APPEAL TO LIEUTEN ANTS. In closing the meeting Chairman Garman said that so large a meeting of representative Democrats as this should demonsrate not only that the party was thoroughly united, but also that its members felt certain of victory. He urged that every county chairman should divide all the Democrats into bjocks—"blocks of five" would do —and have a trustworthy man to bring each block to the polls. By this means the Democrats could sweep the state with out a single Republican vote. Mr. Garman said he had impresed upon the mind of every chairman the necessity of having every Democratic voter call ed upon personally by a responsible worker. Governor Pattison, ex-Attorney Gen eral Hensel and other eminent speakers will be heard from frequently on the stump from now on. Over 200 speakers will be at work within a week in all the counties. The candidates will speak every day and evening. There is Dem ocratic victory In the air. LOOK TC)"THE PARDON BOARD The Duty of Honest Citizens in the Present Crisis Clearly and Vigorously Pointed Out "Let No Guilty Man Escape." There are many things the people of Pennsylvania should bear in mind at this time. At the Jenks and reform mass meeting at Jenkintown on Tues day last Edwin K. Hart, the well known independent Republican editor of Philadelphia, spoke as follows: "There is one point rising in the minds of the people of Pennsylvania at this time of great importance, and under the circumstances full of suggestive ness. There is no page in the history of the state more disgraceful than that which records the action of the pardon board in defeating the ends of justice in connection with the riot bill con spirators of 20 years ago. The average citizen has no conception of what was going on at that time, out of sight of the public, but the terrific pressure brought to bear in behalf of justly con victed men was only indicative of the tremendous power exercised by the po litical machine, and which at that time did not begin to compare in strength and general viciousncss with what it is today. Influential men in every depart ment of political, business and social life were dragooned into indorsing the unrighteous demand for the instant release of the notorious William 11. Kemble and his co-partners in shame less guilt. Shall history repeat itself? It surely will, in case the men charged with criminal wrongdoing in relation to the state treasury should be convicted. as there Is every reason to oeneve tney will be, anil should the Quay machine continue in power at the state capital. The pardon board is composed of the attorney general and secretary of the commonwealth, appointed by the gov ernor; the lieutenant governor and the secretary of internal affairs, who will be elected this fall. Does any sane man believe that the nominees on the Re publican ticket for the last two places named, Gobin and Latta, the obedient servants of Quay In all things, and the other two members of the pardon board who would be appointed by the Quay governor to act with them, would re fuse the demand for immediate re lease, if the People's bank defendants should be behind prison walls? And not only in such a case, but In all others of like character, the pardon board, under machine control, would be subservient to the master and would do whatever was demanded of it sooner or later. Of this there can be no man lier of doubt. The people of this great state are not vindictive; they believe in justice to all men, high and low, but they are profoundly convinced that the power of the political machine should not be permitted to interfere with the administration of Justice. It is, there fore, their privilege and their duty to see to It that the state government, when the day of reckoning comes, shall not be controlled by those whose interest It may be to mock the courts and to defy the popular will. The par don board must not pass into the hands of men who may be tempted and com manded, as others before them in like position were, to violate their oaths of office and to say that those duly convicted of high crime shall not be punished, because the power which they serve is stronger than that lodged within the organization of the state government itself. With George A. Jenks in the executive chair there would be no prostitution of the powers of the pardon board, or of any other department of the state government. No man has ever been before the peo ple of Pennsylvania who was more thoroughly imbedded in the funda mental principles of honest govern ment. Ills administration would be wise, just, economical, safe and hon orable throughout, and his associates on the state ticket are all abundantly worthy of the united support of the honest citizenship of the common wealth. With such a man for governor, and faithful Sowden, heroic DeLacy, and two honest untramelled and trust worthy associates In the pardon board, its motto would be the courageous in junction of the greatest soldier of the union armies, when, as president, re ferring to the betrayal of trust by Belk nap and others, he patriotically and firmly declared, "Let no guilty man es cape!" No public malefactor, no mat ter how high his position, the measure of his influence or the strength of his political "pull," would be permitted to break the laws with Impunity, defy the courts, and escape the Just conse quence of his wrongdoing." dr.
