ARE YOU MAN OR SLAVE?
ANSWER BY YOUR VOTE FOR THE
LEGISLATIVE NOMINEE.
OunyiKin Versus AntMJuaylsm Is the
Great IMHUH In This District—Standard
A uthnrities Tell Independent Republi
can* Wliat to Do Tomorrow.
President McKlnley's postmaster
general is Hon. Charles Emory Smith,
who, as editor of the Philadelphia, Press.
tells the honest Republicans of Pennsyl
vania what to do in the great contest, of
tomorrow. The Press on Monday last
said editorially:
- "Some of the candidates nominated ;
by Republican conventions are more
strongly devoted to Mr. Quay's personal
and political interests than the interests
of their constituents. These should be left
at hone. A fair test of candidates is
their position on the Pni ted States sena
torship. Those who will not give satis
factory assurances that if elected to the
legislature they will vote against the re
election of Matthew S. Quay to the
senate shouhl not receive the r tes of anti
machine Republic me. The machine is in
trenched in the legislature, the state
treasury and the United States senate.
Fro in these citadels of power and patron
age It controls the state. To dispossess
it and overthrow its power these strong
holds must be taken. The legislature is
the immediate point of attack. Elect an
anti-Quay legislature. Remove the head
and front of the machine from the
federal senate and the patronage and
prestige which lie has brought to it and
which confirms it in power will he taken
away. Novo is the accepted time to wrest
the control of the legishtare fiom the Quag
machine." 1
This is strong language from the
greatest Republican dady in Pennsyl
vania, edited, as it is, by a member of
tho cabinet. This appeal for honest
government and the overthrow of cor
rupt bossism, coming almost directly
from President McKinle.v, ought not to
be lost upon tho intelli it voters of the
Fourth legislative district. Hera we
have three candidates for the legislature.
Two are anti-Quay ami one is for Quay.
Messrs. Sheridan and Evans are opposed
to Quayism and stand upon anti-Quay
platforms. Mr. Snyder stands upon a
platform whiclf endorses Quay. There
is no doubt nor question as to the posi
tion of each of the three.
The choice of honest men is therefore
con lined to the Democratic and Prohibi
tion nominees, lioth aro laboring men,
honest, capable and worthy of support.
To the independent citizen who wlshos
to make his vote count most effectually
against Quayism, the question naturally
arises, "Who shall I support, Sheridan
or Evans?*' It is conceded by the most
ardent admirers of the latter that his
election cannot even be expected. Hi?
is fighting a valiant battle, but his can
vass has not shown any likelihood to be
triumphant. A vote for Evans, there
fore, would ho a protest against Quay
ism, hut would count for naught in the
result. It would bo energy woefully
misapplied.
Upon Mr. Sherdian then must centre
the support of all who desire Pennsyl
vania redeemed from the corrupt
powers that control it. For exactly
half a century he has resided in
this district, coming here from his birth
place, Wilkesbarrc, at the ago of six
years. His whole life has been spent in
the Lehigh region. Since attaining
manhood he has striven to elevate his
fellow-workers and to obtain for them
their rights and privileges, at all times
using every honorable means to prevent
discord between em pi oyer and employe.
At the call of his neighbors, the people
of tho Fourth district, he entered the
political field, hoping that in the house
of representatives at Harrisburg he
could be of still better service to them
and with voice and vote help to advance
the cause of honest government and
equal laws.
It rests entirely with the independent
voters of the district to say who will be
elected to represent, us in t he legislature.
Mr. Sheridanstands fearlessly and un
equivocally opposed to Quayism and all
it represents. A vote for him means a
vote for a better, purer and cleaner
government in Pennsylvania. He Is
pledged to do this by his party platform,
by his personal utterances and by his
past record In this region. Ills honesty
has not been quo?tio led in this cam
paign, nor heretofore.
Mr. Sheridan is neck and neck with
Mr. Snyder in the race. The result de
pends upon the ballots of those Republi
cans who are sincerely in favor of reform.
Will they follow the advice of President
Me Ki nicy's postmaster general and the
Philadelphia Press and vote to elect an
anti-Quay legislature or will they stifle
their conscience, their honor and their
patriotism by voting like slaves for a
continuance of Quayism and disgrace? '
He men and vote for Sheridan.

FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1898.
Buocnifiil Democratic Rally.
The meeting held at the Grand opera
house Saturday evening in the interest
of the Democratic ticket was a success.
John J. McMcnauiin. a member of the
county committee, called the meeting to
order, and introduced Dr. E. W. Ruttor,
secretary of the Fourth legislative dis
trict committee, as chairman. John K.
McHugh was appointed secrotary and
twenty of the prominent party men of
the vicinity occupied seats on the stage
as vice presidents. Dr. Rutter opened
the meeting with a few timely remarks
and named John F. O'Neill, Esq.. as the
first speaker. He delivered an able ad
dress on the state issues and was follow
ed by Rush Treacott, Esq., assistant
district attorney, who came instead of
of District Attorney Martin, who was
detained by the illness of his wife. Mr.
Trescott's address was on the same lines
as that of Mr. C'Neill, and was well
received.
Joseph J. McGinty, candidate for
sheriff, was the next called. He took up
the claim of each of his colleagues on
i hi? county ticket, and In a con
vincing manner presented them to the
audience. Mr. Davenport for congress.
Mr. Gabriel for recorder, Mr. Singer for
coroner, Mr. Celiax for surveyor and
Mr. Sberdlan for the legislature were in
turn eulogized by the speaker. For
himself ho mado an appeal for the votes
of all who think him qualified and com
petent to perform the duties of sheriff,
and said that he regretted that in the
last hours of the campaign his opponent
had found it necessary to lie to secure
votes. Ho Showed a circular printed in
the Slavonian language, in which it
was alleged that during Mr. McGinty's
terms as recorder he drew $59,400 from
the county treasury as salary and fees.
This statement ho denied in emphatic
language, and challenged his opponent
to produce to the voters proof of the
circular's assertion.
The speaker gave his pledge that if
elected lie would perform his duties with
the same honesty, fidelity and justice as
he filled othor positions in the past. He
assured the voters that ho would wear
no man's collar.
Matthew Long, of Hazletnn, being
recognized among the audience, was re
quested to say something. He promptly
responded, and in a few moments turn
ed the assemblage from a decorous gath
ering into a mass of red-hot Democracy.
It was the speech of the evening, and,
though unprepared, the speaker grap
pled witli the local points of the cam
paign in a most acceptable manner. His
roferenco to D. J. McCarthy, who is
stumping for Quayism, as "the man who
sold his political soul to the devil," was
followed ,by the greatest, burst of ap
plause the opera houso has ever heard.
Regarding tiie legislative candidates,
Mr. Long briefly summarized the points
of the battle and told of what interest
the result will be to the working
peoplo. Mr. Snyder, he said, was
nominated by the Lattimer bird whose
portrait was omitted from Pennsyl
vania's famous bird book, Mr. Drake,
who lias already cost tlio voters of the
state SIIB,OO0 —the expense incurred in
unnecessarily calling out the troops in
September, 1897.
Air. Long also informed the voters
that a claim for $12,000 for allowing
troops the use of Hazle park is now on
file at Harrisburg, and a hill to obtain
this money will bo introduced by Mr.
Snyder, if olected. Another bill has
been prepared giving authority to coal
companion to call out a company or
regiment of the National Guard when
ever in the opinion of tho corporations
the troops could be used. Mr. Sheridan
iias all his life heon a working man, has
no connection with corporation interests
and can be depended upon to oppose all
legislation inimicable to labor. Dr.
Julius Czupka closed the meeting with a
vigorous address in the Polish language.
Resides Mr. McGinty, Candidates Ga
briell and Sheridan were present. St.
Patrick's band rendered several selec
tions before the meeting opened.

WHOSE CANDIDATE?
Senator Quay's candidate for gov
ernor put forward a singular claim on
his own behalf at Mercer when he said:
"I made a canvass of the state for
the nomination, the first time such a
thing was ever done, and got what I
wanted, the nomination."
The Philadelphia Ledger, at first in
clined to support Colonel Stone, but
now, in the force of new conditions,
veering from Swallow to Jenks, lets in
the light on this claim of Colonel Stone
that he won the nomination by his own
canvass of the state. The Ledger says,
on the contrary:
"He got it from Senator Quay, who
at a meeting of himself and a half
dozen of his retainers at an obscure
seaside resort in New Jersey decided
that it should be given to Mr. Stone,
and to no one else. He was not nomi
nated by the Republican party, nor by
the Republican electors of the com
monwealth: he was nominated by, and
is today, as he has always been, the
personally selected candidate of Sen
ator Quay. His candidacy, as every
one, excepting only himself, apparently
knows, represents the Quay machine,
Quayism. and not the popular will and
choice. Mr. Stone's misinformation on
the subject of being himself the first
and only gubernatorial aspirant who
ever canvassed the state for a nomi
nation Is not less great than his de
clared belief that he is the candidate of
the Republican party. Mr. Delamator,
General Hastings and others before
them canvassed the state to realize
their ambition to be nominated jfor gov
ernor. Mr. Stone i 3 only one of the
many who did that, and in the case of
Mr. Delamator he may find a pre
cedent for his nomination, not by can
vass, hut by Mr. Quay."
It is part of the history of the Har
risburg convention that nominated
Stone that his meager majority of the
delegates over the opposing candidates
was secured by Senator Quay's inter
cession. It was ground out of the ma
chine on orders, precisely as Mr. Dela
mater's nomination was forced eight
years ago.
In his own person—in his own in
dividuality—in this campaign Mr.
Stone is hardly thought of by any
party as a candidate. He is accepted
by friend and foe simply as Quay's
man. That is what the people will vote
on.—Pittsburg Post, Oct. 28.
SOMEJFS.
If you disapprove the custom of sell
ing and trading the public offices, from
constable to congressman, for the main
tenance of a political machine, you
must, in consistency, vote for Mr. Jenks
and his colleagues.
If your conscience revolts at the use
of the state moneys for the upholding
of a political machine, through unlaw
fully loaning them to banks without in
terest, or at a small interest payable,
not to the state, but to the machine, its
leaders or its favorites, your duty is
equally plain.
If you would wrest the pardon board,
the new capitol commission, the sinking
fund revenue commissions from Re
publican machine control, there is one
and only one way of accomplishing
your object, and that way is to vote the
whole Democratic state ticket.
If you would have the schools, the
charities and all other beneficiaries of
the state receive the moneys lawfully
voted them at the time when they are
lawfully due, you can achieve your ob
ject by electing Mr. Jenks governor.
If you believe the people should dic
tate both the legislation of the state
end the execution of the statutes when
enacted. Instead of allowing these great
privileges to go, by your default and
machine connivance, to a number of fa
vored wealthy corporations and monop
olies, then the path you should tread is,
at least this once, the path of the Dem
ocratic party.
If, in short, you want clean state gov
ernment In all its departments, the
Democratic leaders are this year your
only safe leaders.
A MONOPOLY OF LIGHT.
The Standard Oil company owns or
controls the best paying gas plants in
our cities and towns. The Standard
Oil company controls absolutely the
supply of oil and parafino candles. This
gives to one monopoly the power to lix
the prices of gas, oil and candles, and
leaves it with but one competitor in
the market for the supplying of arti
ficial light—and thereby hangs a tale.
The introduction of electric light in
cities and towns has proved a verita
ble bonanza to the large stockholders
as well as a benefit to everybody, bur
glars and policemen excepted.
The one drawback in the way of fu
ture gain has been the growing fear
upon the part of stockholders that, act
ing under the persuasion of intelligent,
honest citizens, municipal authorities
would see the wisdom of constructing
electric light plants, and thus free
their constituencies from the exactions
of electric light companies.
To prevent the building of plants by
municipalities a bill was passed in 1895
and again in 1897 prohibiting municipal
authorities from engaging In the busi
ness of erecting electric light plants un
less by purchase they would first obtain
control over all the private plants in
operation. The bill was twice vetoed.
The trend of public sentiment on the
gubernatorial question could not well
be plainer. The result depends wholly
upon the Democratic voters. If they
are all dutiful to their principles, and
come out to vote, Mr. Jenks and his
colleagues are sure winners.

An Enthusiastic Welcome Home.
The announcement in Thursday's TRI
BUNE of the home-coming of John Mc-
Klnley, Jr., one of the heroes of Santi
ago. brought hundreds of people to the
Lehigh Valley station to meet the 8.32
o'clock train that evening. The town
turned out, en masse to welcome home the
only representative of Freeland who
reached Cuba, and while no previous ar
rangements had been mado the reception
given him was creditable and enthusias
tic. The St. Patrick's band escorted
Mr. McKinley to his home, and it was
with difficulty he made his way through
the surging crowd. Congratulations
upon his safe return and his recovery
from his dangerous attack of typhoiil
and malarial fever were showered upon
him by the hundreds.
Mr. McKinley has been granted a fur
lough of thirty days. He is yet quite
weak and may have to apply for an ex
tension of the time. When he finds
himself able to resume his soldier duties
he will return to his company, Battery
H, Fourth United States artillery, now
located at Fortress Monroe, Va.

people. Tho stroot parade was the
finest of any street parade that ever
came here with a traveling company.
From what we can learn they are doing
a phenomenal business since their open

house. We wish them success through
out their tour, which t hey justly deserve.
