FREELAND, SEPTEMBER 28, 1899.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, September 20, 1899.
Since Reed's retirement there has
boon much talk about members of tho
house being allowed more liberty at the
coming session of congress, but an an
nouncement of Speakor-to-bo Hender
son's programme for tho Republican
financial bill does not Indicate an in
crease of liberty for members; only a
transfer of silent obedience from Czar
Rocd to King Caucus. It is said to be
Mr. Henderson's intention to bring the
financial bill before a Republican
caucus, as soon as congress meets and
to get it endorsed and ordered passed.
Then the bill will be railroaded through
tho house before the committees are
announced. The excuse given for this
action, which will be decidedly unusual,
In dealing with one of the most import
ant subjects that cougress is ever called
upon to handle—the country's money—
Is that if the bill was allowed to take
the usual course, it might never get out
of the committee on banking and cur
rency, to which it should properly be
roforred after being introduced in the
house, or might be changed by that
committee. If this programme is really
to be carried out, tho house caucus
should first vote to abolish the banking
and currency committee.
t t t
A distinction without a difference is
that made by Republicans who say that
Mr. McKinley will not make some
speeches in Ohio, but will probably
make speeches from tho rear platform
of the train upon which he will pass
through Ohio on his coming trip to and
from the West. It really looks as
though that trip had been arranged
solely for tho purpose of giving Mr.
McKinley an opportunity to make some
speeches in Ohio, which he has been
assured by his party managers are
very much needed. lie and his party
managers may call them "roar-platform''
or any other kind of speeches they
please, but the people will know them
for tho stuinp speeches they will be,
and they will not be Inclined to think
any more of the president who is willing
to ongagc in such business.

Boss Piatt has been in Washington,
and it is believed that he tried to make
a deal for the vice presidential nomina
tion for a New Yorker, it being now
protty gonerally understood that Mr.
Ilobart Is to "voluntarily" retire, and
that Governor "Teddy" doesn't want
tho nomination. It is said that Piatt
told Mr. McKinley that any man from
his state would please him, but suggest
ed Senator Depew and Secretary Root.

Representative Berry, of Kentucky,
has boen somewhat annoyed by boing
misrepresented as to his attitude to
wards Colonel Bryan. While In Wash
ington, a day or two ago, Colonel Berry
took occasion to say, with an emphasis
which left no doubt of his meaning
every word: "My opinion is that Bryan
will be the nominee of tho Democracy,
and I have a further opinion that he
will get votes enough to elect him presi
dent of the United States."
X X X
The kicking of Senator Wellington
out of the chairmanship of the Mary
land Republican state committee has.
in the opinion of those who know the
situation thoroughly, made the carrying
of tho state by the Democrats a certain
ty. A Maryland Republican is rpiotod
as having said: "I would not be sur
prised If Smith should be elocted gover
nor by 40,000 plurality. The Welling
ton incident, the independent revolt,
and the Schley affair have givon the
Democrats an advantage that cannot
now be overcome." Tho turning down
of Wellington makes it certain that he
will join Senators Hoar and Mason in
attacking the Philippine policy of Mr.
McKinley, In the senate. Take it all in
all, Mr. McKinley has no reason to look
forward to tho coming session of con
gress with pleasant anticipations.
t i t
Late advices do not bear out the
statement so often made in official
documents, that Filipino private sol
diers only participate in tho war be
cause they are afraid of their officers.
General Otis believed In that theory
once, but since he offered £4O cash and
personal immunity to every Filipino
soldier who surrendered a gun, he has
changed his mind. Only one Filipino
offered to take advantage of that offer,
and before tho money was paid to him,
It was found out that ho was acting in
partnership with one of our own soldiers,
who had captured the gun surrendered,
and was trying to secure some pocket
xuonoy through the credulity of Otis.
BOODLERHRIALS OFF.
A Political Judge Comes in Handy
For the Machine.
GEN. HEEDER PLAYS GOWfIRDS ROLE
How Quay, Penrose and Stone, Masquerad
ing as Friends of Organized Labor, Are
Backing Judge Paxson, Labor's Arch En
emy, For llnterstate Commerce Commis
sioner.
(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, Sept. 25.—1t required
no political Wiggins to forecast Chair
man Reeder's rejection of Chairman
Hillings' general challenge for palaver
between the stump orators of both par
ties of living campaign issues, the
freemen of the state to act as judges.
Reeder's ridiculous and Fallstafflan
retreat has raised a broad grin on the
fair face of the ancient commonwealth.
The independent papers have nailed
him to the cross for a coward. They
have javalined. him and his party as
being afraid to meet honest discussion
of Republican trusteeship of the state.
The Quayites have barricaded them
selves behind the dusky warriors of
Luzon, who are struggling for their
God inherited liberties as the American
colonists fought for theirs against
George 111, and into whom the McKin
ley administration is shooting the con
stitution of the United States through
the muzzles of Springfield rifles and
Mark Hanna's dollar mark tattooed
person as though American imperial
ism as decried by Washington and
Jefferson and Lincoln, and the un
speakable Hanna's continued pro
prietorship of a president, has to do
with the election of a judge of the su
perior court and a state treasurer of
Pennsylvania.
Their armor is so weak and flimsy,
their cause so indefensible, that no
wonder it is General Reeder slinks like
an abashed canine to the precincts of
his own kennel.
The Quav machine has secured a ma
terial vantage, however, within the
week. It has succeeded in warding off
the trials of the indicted boodlers who
were caught redhanded in their at
tempts to bribe Democrats and insur
gents in the last legislature to defame
themselves by voting for Quay for
senator and for the McCarrell bill,
which he thought necessary to save
him and his son from the frowning
walls of the penitentiary.
If these uotorious cases, which were
billed for trial in the Dauphin court
last week, had gone on they would
have given the machine's campaign a
pair of beautiful black eyes, and
would have provided the Democrats
with an ammunition train sufficient to
have blown up the Harrlsburg plat
form and the entire Quay aggregation
of plundering patriots. But witness
how fate is employed by the Key
stone's Napoleon of politics to keep
him on his roller skates.
WHERE A POLITICAL JUDGE
COMES IN.
A United States district judge is re
tired on ago. A judge of the Dauphin
court who possessed some little in
dependence of thought and action and
some true conception of the law and
how it should be construed is made
a federal Judge by Quay, thus filling
the vacancy. The Dauphin court is
an essential function and asset of the
dominant machine, since its jurisdic
tion extends over distinctive state
questions and particularly questions
arising under the accursed Baker bal
lot law. Quay, mark you, puts in this
vacancy on the Dauphin bench a pro
fessional politician and henchman who
for some years had been at the head
of the aub-machine as chairman of the
county committee.
To the shame of the judiciary, this
political judge had the temerity to
cling to his chairmanship of the Re
publican executive committee of
Dauphin county long after he had
qualified for a judge. And this po
litical judge was a handy thing for the
machine to have in these hoodie cases.
He and tho amiable district attorney
conveniently found that the stuffed
docket was too crowded with petty of
fenses, such as hen roost robbing, as
suult and battery, crap playing, for
niflcation and bastardy and corner
lounging, to try these hoodie cases,
which aim at the very vitals of popu
lar government and in which the peo
ple of the whole state are intensely
concerned. In order thus to save the
Republican campaign from embarrass
ment by reviving at this time the
crowning scandal of the last legisla
ture the Dauphin court has postponed
these boodle cases until the January
term of court.. This Is another case of
Quay "winking the other eye" at a
political judge.
HERE, LABORING MAN, LIST.
Governor Stone has Justly aroused
the wrath and indignation of organized
labor throughout the state by person
ally visiting Washington and adding
his squeak and "me too" to the power
ful appeals of Senator Penrose and
Quay to President McKinley to name
ex-Chief Justice Paxson as a mem
ber of the interstate commerce com
mission.
Two years ago a similar attompt
failed through the protests of the la
bor organizations and by Senator Cul
lom, of Illinois, the father of the law
creating the commission, threatening
to defeat Paxson's confirmation by the
senate should the president nominate
him. The presidential nerve then
failed, although he and Hanna had
solemnly obligated themselves in the
campaign Of l v :"i to thus appoint Pax
son in return for boodle and votes the
great eastern railroad corporations
gave McKinley and Hanna.
Paxson's utter subserviency to any
thing and to everything in the cor
poration flesh pot line while he adorn
ed the supreme bench of Pennsylva
nia and his hatred of and antipathy
to the right of the common people, and
particularly of organized labor, mark
ed him as a useful man for the rail
roads to use as an entering wedge for
the prostiti ion of the interstate com
merce commission to their own sel
fish end. Every honest man in the state
had given hrce choers when Paxson
hi id aside his ermine to accept one of
the receive hips of the gutted Reading
railroad. He had earned the hatred of
the laboring g'asses by his action in
the Reading railroad strike, when the
late President Frank Gowan drove
the organized labor interests from the
road, and again in 1891 in indecently
rushing with his judicial gown to the
rescue of Carnegie in the great strike
at Homestead.
Here we have the great triumvirate
—Quay, Penrose and Stone—thus urg
ing Paxson, the arch and dangerous
enemy of labor, for a powerful federal
post, and who notoriously seeks it, that
he may serve his corporation masters
and help neutralize this beneficent law
which the people only secured from
congress by taking the corporations by
the throat. If the laboring man be
searching for a substantial reason for
jabbing the Quay ticket at the coming
election here is one that should ap
peal directly to his own sense of self
protection.
FUSION IS THE REAL THING.
The horse play of Senator Snyder,
Auditor General McCauley and Larry
Eyre, the Republican ringsters of Ches
ter county, who are stretching out their
arms to high Heaven to save them, to
bolster up a straight goods Democratic
ticket in that county, In order to crip
ple "fusion." by screaming that Colonel
Guffey and State Chairman Rilling are
agin it. has fallen like a chunk of lead.
It declined to say propped up on its
legs.
There are in Chester, as I wrote last
week, some half dozen of a false breed
of Democrats who are willing to do
dirty work for the Quay machine in
exchange for being permitted to retain
minor jobs under the McKinley ad
ministration. Their pretended indig
nation at the consummation of "fu
sion" between the Democrats and in
dependents is so bald that it can be
classed as the prime Joke of the cam
paign. They have been playing the
Three Tailors of Tooley Street by
meetin' in convention and resolving
that "we the &c." and nominating an
alleged square timber Democratic tick
et. planting it on a platform thinly
varnished with eulogies of Colonel
Guffey and Bryan, although they
mean to vote the Quay ticket this
fall and against Bryan next fall. In
deed. they are stumped to find a
name for their decoy duck ticket, as
the law prevents them from masquer
ading as Democrats, and which they
don't intend to vote themselves.
In the meantime both Colonel Guf
fey and Chairman Rilling came for
ward and gave these ex-Democrats and
Quay tools a blow between the eyes.
"The fusion ticket in Chester," says
Colonel Guffey "will win. The Dem
ocratic party is practically solid, des
pite the feeble efforts of a few office
holders to protect their jobs by car
rying out the orders of the Quay ma
chine. I most heartily endorse the
position taken by State Chairman Rill
ing and County Chairman Cavanaugh.
It is unquestionably the duty of all
true Democrats in Chester county and
elsewhere to form fusion with all ele
ments that are working for the over
throw of the Quay machine."
HARMONY IS THE WATCHWORD.
Colonel Guffey and Candidates Reilly
and Creasy, when they visited state
headquarters last week, reported that
nowhere is a sign of discord in the
Democratic phalanx to be found. There
is not a single threatening cloud on the
fair and promising horizon. In Phila
delphia, which is the weak spot, be
cause of the thorough organization
there of the ballot thieves by the Re
publican state and city machines, all
factional rancor and discord has dis
appeared, giving place to amity and
sunshine. The county conventions the
other day were harmonious, and the
ticket honors divided between the late
warring factions. The outlook for the
Democratic state ticket coming under
the wire a winner is brightening every
24 hours, and the danger to the Quay
machine is assuming such a threaten
ing aspect that "the old man" has
been compelled to take the reins in his
own hands and play some of those al
leged masterful and magical political
strokes of his which he failed to do
last winter, when his 'prentice boys
were fooling "around the legislature
trying to elect him United States sen
ator.
The state Democratic leaders and
the executive and finance committees
are booked to confer in this city this
week, when campaign plans will be
mapped out., the question of financing
them discussed and a red hot fight or
dered all along the line of hostilities.
The Business Men's State League is
prepared to meet and formally en
dorse both Superior Court Candidate
Reilly and State Treasury Candidate
Creasy. The Quay candidate for the
court, Commodore Ad
ams, has such an unsavory reputation
as a lawyer of the shyster class, while
so much is known of his private life
as a sport, that the independents find
it impossible to hold him on their po
litical stomachs, even with anchors
and guy ropes, while the honesty and
claims of Creasy cannot be ignored.
The independents want to break into
the state treasury and learn the dark
secrets of its vaults. They look upon
the state treasury as the machine cit
adel, which It truly is, believing that
if it can be captured Quay's grip on
powerful moneyed interests can be
broken and his opportunities for spec
ulating with its funds prevented, that
his downfall and end will be hastened,
since he will be unable to command
the money to corrupt and buy the
venal, on whom he relies for his suc
cesses.
AND THE CAT CAME BACK.
The joy of the Quay 'prentice boys,
Elkin, Durham, Eyre and Penrose, over
the demotion of Uncle Bill Andrews
from his place as chief of staff was as
short as a butterfly's life. He failed to
oblige them by taking himself off to
his mines in New Mexico, so as to give
them a clear swing at the "old man's"
ear, but remained to haunt them and
make their lives miserable by prevent
ing their blunders and schoolboy tac
tics. His business just now is that of
platting the hair of the insurgents, and
he carries with him a full assortment
of combs for that purpose. He and Dave
Lane, the owner of the new mayor of
Philadelphia, are now devoting them
selves also to "feeling" the insurgent
members of the legislature and of
fering them inducements to change
their vote to Quay in case enough can
be driven into the barnyard to elect
him at a special session of the legisla
ture. Lane is a professional lobbyist,
who has been handling members of the
legislature and city councilmen for
years, as the beef trust handles cattle,
and is reputed to be able to size up a
man's price and a fix a valuation on a
vote quicker and more exact than any
other man In the business.
The North American is on his trail,
however, and has served due and time
ly warning that an exposure will be
made of the methods that are being
employed to thus manufacture votes
fur the dethroned boss of the machine.
THE JUDGE.
POLITICAL NOTES.
The old gag of citing certain de
linquent corporations Into the Dauphin
court and threatening them with heavy
penalties for failure to report to the
proper department of the state gov
ernment is again being worked by the
attorney general and the auditor gen
eral. It is not on record that any of
fending corporation was ever made to
disgorge on this account. A contribu
tion to the Republican state commit
tee often times induces a state official
to wink the other eye and forget that
he ever had a memory. But this cita
tion affords lawyer pets of the ma
chine a chance to pocket fees at the
expense of the state.
The rutabaga at the head of the ag
ricultural is just now working over
time in attempting to prove that the
Quay machine and the Stone admin
istration loves the man with the hoe.
The tremendous inroads that Farmer
Creasy is making on the farmer vote
has thoroughly alarmed the machine,
which has been ignoring farmers for
state candidates for years and which
has denuded the agricultural depart
ment of attaches devoted to their in
terests and filled their places with
town henchmen who know far more
about stuffing ballot boxes and rough
ing primaries than they do of sub-soil
ploughing or the rotation of crops.
Governor Stone has his ear to the
ground. He has heard the rumbling
of the storm of the people's wrath.
That is clear. He is quoted as say
ing that he will concur in the will of
the people in the selection of judges
and that he will under no circum
stances attempt to force an approval
of his selections by making premature
selections before the people have had
an opportunity to declare their choice.
Such a change of attitude is an indi
cation that the voice of the people has
at last been heard and the machine
leaders are beginning to understand
that they cannot always do as they
please. Since the inauguration of the
present governor he has shown utter
contempt for the desires of the people,
who were buncoed by his-stump asser
tions that he was no man's man, and
that he would execute the laws fear
lessly and Impartially. A change has
been brought about by the indignant
protests of many county Republican
conventions and the criticisms of those
who have a right to speak of servants
who occupy public stations.
The editor of the Philadelphia Sun
day World, who is a political mouth
piece of Dave Martin, and who is
recognized as a political authority,
says: "Despite all statements to the
contrary, the signs all point to an
extra session of the general assembly,
provided Matthew Stanley Quay's
ticket is 'put through' by a handsome
majority, and towards which all ends
are being shaped. As elections are
now conducted under the Baker ballot
law, only the necessity needs to be
named to he complied with. 'Tie true
that with the machinery in the hands
of the so-called insurgents in the
county of Allegheny trouble may be
caused and the Brown-Adams-Barnett
ticket cut many thousand votes. It
must be borne in mind, however, that
there is to be no factional feud in
Philadelphia, and therefore the ma
chinery here can be relied upon not
only to make up any deficit so caused,
but also to swell the figures to any
amount required." Thus, as this good
Republican authority admits, the re
peaters and ballot thieves in Philadel
phia are to he used again by the Quay
gang to roll up the regulation moun
tain of fraud, and that is the reason
why all bills for the protection of the
ballot were strangled in the last legis
lature.
There were no fewer than 20 bills
introduced in the last legislature look
ing to the safeguard of the ballot. All
were put to sleep save two constitu
tional amendment resolutions one
providing for personal registration of
voters in the cities and the other pro
viding for the introduction of the vot
ing machines which are in successful
operation in some of the big towns in
the state of New York, and which Gov
ernor Stone ruthlessly killed. Why is
the Quay outfit afraid of honest elec
tions and why has it obstinately re
fused to mend the rotten Baker ballot
law? The reason is obvious and may
be read by a blind man. Without the
loopholes in this law the cities could
not manufacture their bogus majorities
to overcome the honest vote of the
country. The elections in Philadel
phia, Pittsburg and Lancaster have be
come shameful farces, and no longer
record the will of the people.
State Chairman Reeder has assessed
all the employes of the state govern
ment 3 per cent of their salaries and
directed them to hand over to their
respective chiefs. No guilty man will
escape the frying pan. It will be either
pay or get out. This is the same Reeder
who, while fattening on an income of
$20,000 per year from salary and fees
as secretary of the commonwealth, re
fused to put up a dollar when asked
to chip into the Republican fund. But
Reeder was not then fingering the
campaign hoodie. As Mayor Warwick
would remark, "Things are different
now."
Now, if Mark Hanna only had an
election system akin to the Baker bal
lot law there would be no need to send
Teddy Roosevelt, Postmaster General
Smith and a host of Republican stump
scrc?amers into Ohio to save McKinley.
The ballot thieves and the corporation
bosses who "assist" their slaveß to
mark their ballots could do the sav
ing.
Senator Penrose says a deal has been
made with the Republican state chair
man of Ohio by which Pennsylvania
and Ohio are to swap stump speakers
in the campaign, which goes to prove
that he boss is really alarmed at the
uprising of the farmers and inde
pendents of the Keystone state and
that in order to preserve his hide and
tallow imported talkers must invade
our fair domain to distract the voters'
attention from the diseased pork in the
bottom of the barrel. But all the im
ported talkers in the western hemis
phere would not save them this time
