A I'eep at I'liiliulelpliiu Politic*.
People who live in Pennsylvania out
side of Philadelphia stand and gaze in
wonder at the magnificent majorities
which the Republicans of that city can
roll up for Republican candidates when
a hot election, like the lute guber
natorial contest, is on. State Chairman
Jones, of the Prohibition party, wa>
amazed last November at the enormous
vote which Philadelphia returned for
Stone, but instead of gazing in wonder j
at the figures he began an immediate i
investigation to ascertain how much ot :
the vote was real and how much was |
unreal.
Upon the face of the returns in sev
eral districts there were evidences ot
fraud, but the few contests which
readied court ended abruptly—padded
return sheets, empty ballot boxes and
missing election officers foiling the ef
forts of the contestants.
Mr. Jones, iu company with reliable
and non-partisan aids,i began an un
official hunt for fraud, and, although
their labors are not yet completed, the
results so far obtained would astound
the nation, if the daily papers of Phila
delphia had [the Independence to pub- j
lish them.
Taking one election district alone, as j
an illustration of what a farce an elcc
tion is in Philadelphia, the Twelfth I
division of the Fifth ward may be cited. |
The vote as returned there is as follows: !
Stone, 309; Jenks, 1; Swallow, nothing.
This district is bounded by Fifth and
Sixth streets and by Lombard and South !
streets, a locality as cosmopolitan as
any in the world and in every way suit
able for fraudulent voting and dishonest
counting.
How dishonest the returned vote was (
may be computed from the following j
facts: The Twelfth division assessor's j
list of voters contained 310 names—just
the number ofiVotesJalleged to have been
cast. A canvass of the district immedi
ately after election showed that there
were only 248 adult male residents in the
district. Of this number 42 were un
naturalized and 13 legal voters did not
vote. Fourteen voters of the division
affirm that they voted for Swallow and
70 others claim they cast their ballots j
for Jenks.
A legal vote and a fair count in the |
district would probably have given this
result: Stone, 109; Jenks, 70; Swallow.
14. Compare these ligures with the
vote as returned by the election of
ficers—3o9, 1 and o—then the reader
may form an idea of how Philadelphia's
Republican majorities are manu
factured.
The investigation made under the
auspices of the Prohibitionists bus dis
closed another secret. It was found
that every assessor in some wards, and
at least half the assessors in every
ward, are men over whom the city of
ficials hold court indictments for trans
gressions of law more or less serious.
These assessors, being in the power of
the corrupt machine which dominates
courts and everything else in Phila
delphia, must obey the bosses by pad
ding the assessment lists to whatevei i
extent their masters command. These
men, who have previously earned the
right to be inmates of the penitentiary,
cannot bo expected to be very con
scientious in recording legal voters'
names, especially when "faithful'* work
to the party will stay the law in bring
ing them to trial for past crimes.
It is this debauchery of the assess
ment lists which gives the Republican
party its power in Philadelphia, and
consequently much of its strength iu
the state.
With the whole machinery of the law
in their power, with a factional bogus
Democracy as their allies and a servile
and hypocritical press to do their bid
ding, it would seem that the corrupt and
law-defying men who ruin our metrop
olis will reign for many a day.
It may be, however, that the investi
gations made under the£auspices of the
Prohibitionists are the beginning of a
movement that will eventually engulf
the broadclothed scoundrels who are
debasing the manhood of the state by
their pernicious practices at every
election and in moral and social life.
If Philadelphia had but one daily news
paper worthy of the name such a move
ment could bo launched and carried to
a successful terminutioi). In spite of a
subservient judiciary and a despoiled
bar, the population of the penitentiary
could be Increased tenfold within a year.
The exposures which followed the dis
ruption of New York's Tweed gang
would fade away when contrasted with
the wholesale frauds, stupendous rob
beries and unprintable immoralities that
existjn Philadelphia today.

The observance of the birthday of
1 Abraham Lincoln, which has become
now so widely established cither by
1 public law or by general custom, will,
more and more, force the orators of
ihese occasions to depart from Hi" line
of biography and incident ami eulogy
and to assume tlie duty of applying

j pies illustrated in the life and taught 1
in the public utterances of the man 1

after all. we may be sure that tlic
great, simple-hearted patriot would
have wished it so. Flattery (lid not ; 1

LIVING STILL IN THE HEARTS OF THE
PEOPLE.
In the broad, common-sense way hi
! which he did small things he was
j larger than any situation in which lit" .
j had placed liini. Europe did not know i
him. To the south and not a few in
the northern states he was an uncouth •
Jester, an ambitious upstart .a reckless j
disturber. The son of the cavalier, the j
I man who felt him to be a stain, de- ,
j spisod this son of the people, this child j
of toil. He was distinguished from the !
! abolition leaders by the fairness and i
| kindness with which he judged the
I south and the slaveholders. He was
opposed to human slavery, not because :
some masters were cruel, but because
"all men" included the black man. ]
Liberty is the law of nature. The hu- '
j man enactment cannot pass the limits i
of the state; God's law embraces crest- j
tion.
Mr. Lincoln had faith in time, and
time has justified his faith. If the pan-!
oraina of the years from 'GI n, 'O3
could have been unrolled Defore the j
eyes of his countrymen, would they I
have said—would he have said—that I
he was adequate for the great occas- j
ion? And yet. as we look back over :
the story of the civil war, he is re- j
voaled to us standing above ail men of <
that epoch in I.is capacity and adapta
tion to the duties of the presidency.
Mr. Lincoln loved the "plain people."
out of whose ranks lie came; but not 1
with a class love. He never pandered
to ignorance or sougjit applause by ap
peals to prejudice. The equality of
men in rights and burdens, justice to
all. a government by all the people, for
all the people, was his thought—no
favoritism in enactment or administra
tion—the general .rood. He hail the
love of the masses, and he won it fair
ly; not by art or trick. Ho could, there
fore. admonish and restrain with
authority. Would there were more
such. There is great need of men now
who can be heard both In the directors'
meeting and in the labor assembly.
Qualities of heart and mind combined
to make a man who has won the love
of mankind. lie is beloved. He stun Is
like a great lighthouse to sh,ow the
way of duty to all his countrymen and
to send afar a beam of courage to those
who beat against 1 lie winds. We do
him reverence. We bless the memory

"1 have a story on Abraham Lincoln
which has never been printed," said
United States Judge C. G. Foster. "In
the winter of 1850-GO Lincoln visited
Kansas, making speeches at Troy and
Atchison. At Atchison lie put up at
the old Massasoit House, which every
old-time politician will remember.
Gen. Stringfollow, John A. Martin,
Tom Murphy and I called upon Mr.
Lincoln at the hotel. In the course of
the conversation Lincoln turned to
Stringfellow. who was a pro-slavery
advocate, and said:
" 'Gen. Stringfellow. you pro slavery
follows gave as one reason why slavery
should not be prohibited in Kansas
that only the negro could break up the
tough prairie sod. Now. I've broken
hundreds of e.en s of prairie sod in my
time, and Ihe only question which re
mains to be deejd' d is whether I am a
white man or a nigger.'
"Gen. String!'dinw ndmit f pd ihe forop
.f the argument, and congratulated Mr.
Lincoln upon his pointed, logical way
of putMng things."
j LINCOLN'S ELASTIC PARDON
Let Out a Friend for All He Had Done
"and All That He Ever Would Do."
Senator Mills has a new story about
Lincoln. It was told to him by a son of
I John L. Helm of Kentucky, who lives
| iu Corsicana.
"Old John L. Helm," said the Senat
! or. "was a famous character in Ken
tucky. He was, if I remember rightly,
a Governor of the State, but at any rate
j his position was a most prominent one.
1 When the civil war came on Helm was
a rabid secessionist. He could not
praise the South too highly and could
not heap enough abuse upon the North,
lie was too old to go to the war with
his sous, and remained at home, doing
all he could to help the Confederate
cause anil harass the Yankees who In
vaded the State. Finally he became
so obstreperous that the Federal Gen
eral who was in command near Helm's
home put him in prison. The old man's
age. the high position which he oc
cupied in the State, his wide connec
tions, and especially his inability to do
any actual harm, were all pleaded in
bis extenuation, and lie was released.
Instead of profiting by the warning
the old man became more persistent
than ever in his course. Once more
lie was clapped Into Jail. This hap
pened two or three times, and finally,
while he was still locked up, the mat
ter was brought to the attention of
the Federal authorities. Even Presi
dent Lincoln was appealed to. and ask
ed to commit the ardent Southerner to
an indefinite confinement in order that
he might be curbed.
"Lincoln listened to the statement
of the case with more than usual inter
est. Then he leaned back and began to
speak with a smile upon his face.
'You are talking about John Helm?
Well, did you know that 1 used to live,
when I was a boy, in Helm's town?
lie was kind to me. He seemed to
like me as a boy, and he never lost an
opportunity to help me. He seemed to
think,' said Lincoln, with another of
his almost pathetic smiles, 'that I
would probably make something of a
man. Why, when I went out to Il
linois. pnor and unknown, that man
gave me the money to pay my way and
keep me until I got a start. John
Helm? Oh, yes, I know him. And I
know what I owe to him. 1 think I
can fix his case.'
"And then," said Senator Mills,
"Lincoln went to a desk and wrote a
few words. The bit of writing is treas
ured in the Helm household to this
day. This is what the President wrote:
" *1 hereby pardon John L. Helms
of Kentucky for all that lie has ever
done against the United States and all
that he ever will do.
" 'Abraham Lincoln.' "
Lew Wallace's Lincoln Story.
General Lew Wallace speaking of the
great Emancipator says:-
"I will tell you of an incident which
I have never before made public. I
do not know llmt it is proper, but the
man whom it is about is gone uud I
will relate it. I hod an engagement
with Lincoln to call at the White House
and present two ladies who desired to
meet him. The time set for the call
was 11 a. iu. At the appointed hour 1
presented myself, iu company with the
ladies. As* I was ushered In 1 saw at
the farther end of the long room the
tall form ol' Lincoln leaning against a
window. He waved his hand, indicat
ing that I was to take the ladies to a
sofa, and then by another wave of the
hand he motioned for me to come to
him. My heart filled with sympathy
| for him, for 1 knew something was
! wrong. There were deep lines of suf
| fering about the face, the features were
drawn and pinched. His hair was thin
and uncombed. He was naturally
somewhat stoop-shouldered, but seem
ed to be especially so on this occasion.
If I were to live a thousand years
! I would not forget the anguish of the
I expression of his face. I said:
j ' "Mr. Lincoln. I hope you are not
sick.'
"He replied: "No, I am not sick.'
"1 said: 'You look sad. Something
1 terrible must have happened.'
"He made no reply, but calling a ser
vant lie asked liow long it would be
until the boat left the wharf for Har
rison's Landing. The answer was: 'in
! thirty minutes' Then, turning to me,
Lincoln said in an undertone, and the
sadness of his face deepened as he said
| it: 'I must go on that boat to Hur
-1 rison's Landing on the James River.'
! " ' What for?' 1 asked, in surprise.
1 "His voice dropped to a whisper as
i he replied: '1 must go to Harrison's
Landing to keep McClelluu from sur
rendering the army.'
i "It was after the seven days' battle
anil the leader of the great army was
retreating before the confederates.
"At this point 1 introduced the ladies
and retired. In thirty minutes Lincoln
was on board the boat, speeding away
on his journey. The next 1 heard of
him was at Harrison's Landing ami the
Union army was not surrendcreu.

Lincoln an n Lawyer.
Speaking of Mr. Lincoln's methods
in the court room and in jury trials, u
writer says: "Lincoln's tact was re
markable. Ho carefully studied and
thought out the best way of saying
everything, as well as the substance ol
what he should say. Tills was espec
ially true in jury trials. Sometimes he
seemed to take a delight in express]v
conceding to hiß opponent every propo
sition and fact which his own client ot
the spectators thought to lie in hit
favor, and then to the surprise of nil
taking some unexpected but firm posi
tion which controlled and won the case.
HELPED HIM GET HIS PAY.
President Lincoln's Kindness to m Tired
and Lost; Soldier.
One day President Lincoln had been
at the office of the Secretary of War.
and was traversing the long halls at
the War and Navy buildings, sedate,
unassuming and unattended, when he
met a worn soldier, in a tattered uni
form of blue, evidently at a loss among
the many doors along the corridor.
For a moment he watched the man
us he wandered uncertainly from point
to point, and then accosted him.
"My good man, whom do you wish
to see?"
The soldier looked at his questioner
and, noting the kindly interest in his
face, replied that he was just from the
army of the Potomac, having been dis
charged the day before, upon the ex
piration of his three year term of serv
ice. that he wished to go to his home
in Vermont, but that he had been
obliged to stop in Washington to get
the money that was due him. as the
regimental paymaster had given him
an order for the money, payable in
Washington. For Hours he had been
wandering about the city and the pub
lic buildings, looking for the officer to
whom his order was directed, but as
yet he had been unable to find him.
lie had been told that the paymaster
The President's face beamed. He
general was in this building, and he
was now looking for his office,
knew that the paymaster general was
not the person who actually paid the
individual soldier, and he did not know
where tlie proper officer was to be
found, but lie did know that. througfT
his assistance this bronzed and ragged
private, who exemplified the great self
sacrificing loyalty of the nation, could
be paid, and taking a blank card from
his pocket, ho held it against the wall
and with a short pencil wrote upon it
as follows:
"This poor soldier is in distress be
cause lie can get no pay. Will pay
master general please have him put
on the right track to get Ills pay.
"Nov, Oth, 18C4. A. Lincoln.*'
Handing this message to the veteran,
he directed him where to find the office
of the paymaster general and instruct
ed him to present the card at the
door.
It is unnecessary to state that the
soldier promptly obtained his pay and
left the capital for his Green mountain
home.
Tlie Mother of Lincoln.
I On February 12. 1809, a robust, hon
est-hearted woman brought into the
world the baby who became, as some
Americans think, the ideal man of
America-—Abraham Lincoln.
She was Nancy Hanks Lincoln.
She bore and reared the child who,
partaking of her nature and learning
of her. grew into the typical American
! cilizen, the hater of shams, the freer
of slaves, tlie brother and lover of the
people.
Of course, no monument is ever rais
ed to Lincoln that is pot, by implica
tion, a monument to Nancy Hunks.
There is no bronze or marble for him
that is not for her also.
Hut do you know what her only in
dividual memorial is? It is Nancy
Hanks, trotter—the Chicago mare that
trotted a mile in two minutes and fou*
, seconds.
Hp
NANCY HANKS LINCOLN.
Lincoln's mother, big-minded, whole
some woman that she was, would
doubtless take a merry pride in her
monument. She would glory in the
strength and speed of the famous mare.
She would rejoice in the record of
Nancy Hanks, the 2:04 record made at
.Torre Haute, Ind„ in 1802, with which
she retired from the turf.
Hilt isn't it a curious thing that Nancy
Hanks, ex-trotter, is the only memor
ial America boasts of Nancy Hanks,
mother of Lincoln?
To-day we celebrate the birthday of
the man who, next to Washington,
stands highest in the estimation of
Americans and the rest of the world.
One never tires of studying that strong,
homely countenance. It is a master
piece In physiognomy.
I.lneolii's "ScUiilineitN,"
Mr. Lincoln once remarked to a fel
low passenger on the old time mud
wagon eoaeh, 011 tlie corduroy road
wlilch antedated railroads, that all men
were prompted by sellishness In doing
good or evil. His fellow passenger
was antagonizing this position when
they were passing over a corduroy
bridge that spanned a slough. As they
i crossed this bridge and the mud wagon
| was shaking like a Sucker with chills,
they espied an old razor backed sow
on the hank of the slough making a
j terrible noise because her pigs had got
into the slough and were unable to get
out, and 111 danger of drowning. As
the old eoaeh began to climb the hill
side Mr. Lincoln called out, "Driver,
j can't you stop just a moment?" The
driver replied, "If the other feller don't
object." The "other fellow"—who was
110 less a personage than at that time
"Colonel" E. D. Baker, the gallant gen
eral who gave his life In defense of Old
Glory at Ball's Bluff—did not object,
when Mr. Lincoln jumped out, rnn
back to the slough, and began to lift
the little pigs out of the mud and water
and place them on the bank. When
he returned Colonel Baher remarked,
"Now Abe, where does selfishness com*
in on this little episode?" "Why bless
I your soul, Ed, that was the very es
senee of selfishness. I would have had
I no pence of mind all day had I gone on
and left that suffering old sow worry
! Ing over those pigs. I did it to gel
peace of mind, don't you see?"
DEMOCRACY
STILL FIRM

a Wall Against Corruption.
GREAT BATTLE AT THE CAPITAL,

Break the Line Futllo
(Speciul Correspondence.)
Harrisburg, Feb. 6.—The deadlock
still continues. So far as the senatorial
election is concerned the Democrats in
house and senate occupy the same po
sition that they did before, viz., holding
the key to the situation. The present
unbroken line of the Democracy, sturdy
and firm in its allegiance to the peo
ple. is largely due to the efforts of that
"noblest Roman of them all," National
Committeeman James M. Guffey, of
Pittsburg. Colonel Guffey left his great
business enterprises lust v/eek and
came to Harrisburg to take personal
direction of his forces. He saw every
man in house and senate and discussed
the situation with him face to face.
The result is that the lines of the
Democrats are stronger today than
they have been at any time.
Next in importance to the senatorial
situation is the position of the Mc-
Carrell bill, as It is called. This
measure prohibits district attorneys
from setting aside jurors in criminal
cases, and was introduced solely in the
interests of Senator Quay. If the bill
passes it will prevent the district at
torney of Philadelphia from setting
aside jurors, as has been the case in all
English speaking countries for 700
years.
A FRENZIED BASTE.
The most violent efforts have been
put forth to force this bill through the
legislature before the date set for
Quay's trial, Feb. 20. The bill was
rushed through the senate, and, much
to the regret of their friends, two
Democrats, Senators Boyd of Fayette
and Stiles of Lehigh, voted for its pas
sage. There was a three hours' fight
over the bill, in which it was declared
by leading lawyers of that body to be
a bill in the interests of the criminal
classes. Senator Henry, of Philadel
phia, stated that the name of the bill
should be changed to read, "A bill to
protect criminals."
On Thursday last the senate bill was
sent over to the house and a fierce
fight ensued in the committee on judici
ary general over it. It was finally
brought out of that committee, but
again it must be regretfully said that
four Democrats, Representatives Skin
ner of Fulton, Hoy of Clarion, Chris
man of Columbia and Duttera of Ad
ams, voted with the machine Republi
cans to put the hill before the house.
THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
A Democratic caucus was called on
Thursday to consider what action the
Democrats in the house should take on
this measure. A resolution was of
fered by Mr. Dixon, of Elk. that no ac
tion be taken until the 2-st of March,
by which time the Quay trial would be
over and the hill would he of no benefit
to the arch Reoubllcan boss. The
measure was discussed on all sides.
Some of the Democrats urged that the
measure was a good one and should
he passed for the benefit of the general
public. This view was sustained by
Representatives Skinner of Fulton,
Dumbauld of Fayette. Timlin of Lack
awanna and others. On the other hanl
Representatives Fow of Philadelphia.
Creasy of Columbia. Dixon of Elk and
Captain Hasson of Venango urged that
the bill was solelv Intended to assist
Senator Quay, and that nothing would
he lost by postponing action on it until
after the 21st of March, tl was shown
that ir the bill becomes a law It would
be impossible to convict men engaged
in riots, train wreckings and similar
crimes.
The stand that the 86 Democrats,
there were 87 until the lamentable
death of Harry Manning, of Cumber
land, last week, have made has met
with the highest approval from news
papers of all shades of opinion over the
state. It is pointed out how these men
ire standing like the old Greeks at
Thermopoly, holding at bay the hordes
of the enemy. No one will ever know
what some of these sturdy, faithful
men, standing for Democratic prin
ciples and the honor of the whole peo
ple. have had to contend with. Tempta
tions of all kinds, money, offices, every
thing that could be suggested, has been
offered them by Republican bosses for
their votes, but rejecting them all,
they will stand firm until the end.
The end is in sight. Thus far 16 bal
lots have been taken without any gain
for Senator Quay. He Is still 13 votes
short of a majority and he can never
make these up. There Is no longer any
doubt that the corrupt Republican ma
chine. which is being fought from the
inside, and the control of bosses as
represented by Quay, Andrews and the
rest of the old state gang, will be elimi
nated.
