18 HE FIT TO BE GOVERNOR?
As the Quay machine candidate for
governor, Ex-Judge Pennypaeker has
been the hardest riddle to solve ever
presented to the voters of the Keystone
state. It was early discovered that he
had cut some queer capers, In a liter
ary-political way, while a Judge; but
the day he left the bench he tumbled
Into the ring and ever since his ex
traordinary performances have amaz
ed, amused and disgusted by turn the
onlookers. Former friends have anx
iously asked the meaning of It all.
Meanwhile the ex-Judge has waddled
around the political tent utterly uncon
scious of the effect of his self-revela
tlon. He has sometimes tried to crack
Jokes, but his hearers couldn't see the
point. Upon one ludicrous occasion he
had to explain where the laugh ought
to come In, but the effort was a dismal
failure. He tried to flirt with the
women and said he was better looking
than his pictures in the newspapers.
They didn't agree with him. Ordinar
ily bis personal demeanor has been
that of a man conducting his own fu
neral. The icicles drop off him and
give reception committeemen a chill.
He stood straight up one night and
after abusing his dignified and manly
opponent, cried out, in querelous tones;
"Why not try another?" The answer
everywhere heard was, "Well, If we
swapped Boh Pattlson for you, we'd be
dreadfully cheated, sure enough." The
other members of the Quay aggrega
tion have talked about everything but
their candidate, but he has to flock by
himself, between stumping stations.
The "Pennsylvania Dutch" were ex
pected to enthuse over their vote-seek
ing kinsman, but they have repudiated
the relationship. The soldier racket
eoiridn't be worked, for the candidate
was only on the edge of the great con
flict. When he posed as the friend of
the workingmen, some inquisitive peo
ple looked into the record and quickly
discovered how he was in the habit of
tumbling helpless labor plaintiffs out
of court, when they sued for damages.
He awkwardly, made love to the farm
ers, but the men of the soil said It
might be the hand of an amateur
squash raiser, but it was Wie oily
tongue of a political green-goods man.
When he proudly talked of his illustri
ous ancestry, impertinent critics made
side remarks about Darwin's evolu
tion theory and asked what had become
of tho organ grinder and "the other
member of the family."
In his forlorn swing around the cir
cle, Ex-Judgo Pennypaeker has not re
ceived one good, hearty, encouraging
welcome. The frost has been on the
pumpkin every time, and nobody is to
blame but the hapless creature him
self. Before starting out he ostenta
tiously put on the collar of Quaylsm,
and the people took him at his word.
Voters who want an odious and cor
rupt ring to remain in power, .will vote
for its candidate. Those who do not
will turn him down, and his condemna
tion at tho polls ought to be over
whelming. The honor, dignity and
welfare of Pennsylvania imperatively
demand it.
Over 100,U0U Democratic and Re
publican voters who were led off by
Swallow, in 1898, are this year in line
for I'attison. The issue between good
and bad government is clearly drawn
and every hour adds to the strength of
tho great reform movement of 1902.
Hensel knocked out the silly lie
about the coal trust. The former at
torney general promptly showed that
the second Pattlson administration did
fts whole duty with regard to this as
jn all other matters.

FROM THE BENCH TO THE RING
(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, Oct. 27.—'The most sin
gular and suggestive development of
the present campaign Is the fact that
almost every intelligent and self-re
specting Republican one meets, either
openly and indignantly repudiates the
candidate of his party machine for gov
ernor, or sharply refuses to "talk poli
tics," and turns away in transparent
disgust when his name is mentioned.
In the whole history of Pennsylvania
politics there has never been such a
monumental failure, as his own advo
cate, as Pennypaeker. Had he remain
ed upon the bench, kept his mouth
shut, looked wise and destroyed or se
curely hidden, every copy of the stupid
and abusive Quay book he Is respon
sible for, he would have polled thous
ands of votes, even as the pliant crea
ture of the boss, that will now be turn
ed indignantly against him. This is
the sentiment everywhere expressed,
even amongst those who have looked
on from a distance.
What the People Think.
Face to face with the people the ex-
Judge has chilled his would-be sup
porters, driven away the doubtful, fear
fully discredited himself with intelli
gent men, and unconsciously revealed
his absolute lack of tile qualities de
manded in a high executive office and
shown his pitiable subserviency to
everything representing Quayism and
all that it stands for. All sorts of ex
planations have been given, but the
true one simply is, this man had been
placed upon a pedestal where he did
not belong. Self-stripped of the mask
he has worn he now stands before the
people, where he should be, feeble in
Intellect, destitute of high principles.
Is such a man fit to be the chief magis
trate of Pennsylvania? This is the
question now before the freemen of the
commonwealth. A brief retrospect will
make this clear to the dullest mind.
His Devotion to the Machine.
Having, if he so desired, a life posi
tion of honor, at large remuneration
for a man of his social surroundings,
there was no excuse Judge Pennypaek
er could offer for demeaning himself
as the defender and eulogist of Quay
ism. There is not another member of
the Philadelphia Judiciary who would
have done this thing. Mind you, the
first offense was the editing and ful
some endorsement of Quay's venom on
the stump In 1900, when he was so des
perately seeking re-election. The
striking similarity, upon many sub
jects. between those discreditable de
liverances and Pennypaeker's own
speeches, is extremely suggestive. It
shows a sympathy of Ideas and pur
poses that makes the twin authorship
apparent. It shows how thoroughly
the creature of Quay Is saturated with
the virus of Quayism. Next, the mag
azine article, ostensibly in defense of
Pennsylvania, was written expressly
to defend the writhing boss, who was
skinned alive in the publication so
weakly and insincerely replied to.
The judge thought to hide his real
purpose through devoting the post
script only to Quay glorification.
Why He Was Chosen.
Such slavish service, with intimate,
confidential, personal relationship for
many years and constant support of
the machine, made Pennypaeker an
ideal candidate for the wily boss. He
lifted his old cock-eye and gleefully
murmured: "He's just the decoy I
want. We can fool the people with
him. We ran rely upon him every
time. Yes, if I should want to repeat
old Winnebago's trick, he will put
Dick in my place. Ah, Sam Is the
man for '02." Then the word was
passed along and the deed was done,
with picturesque grand larceny of El
kln delegates, as the needful finale.
Pennypaeker would not have had a
single delegate, even in Philadelphia,
without "orders." He knows this, yet
he Btands up and shakes hands with
himself as the "choice of the Republi
can party." Therein he shows what
manner of man he Is.
A Significant Omission.
There was no formal notification of
the Harrisburg nominee, and why?
This would have required the candi
date to go on record, in some explicit
manner, concerning public questions.
He dodged, slid off the bench, inter
viewed himself again on the glories of
Quayism, and prepared to exhibit
himself as tho prize antiquarian—the
only real survivor of the flood. When
the celebrated "Quay-is-a-greater-man
than-Wcbster-or-Clay"talk was brought
in by a grinning Ledger reporter the
city editor nearly fell off his chalf.
He braced up and determined to let

the man who seemed to have shoveled
out his brains when he hung up h<9
Judicial robes, commit political suicide.
What do you suppose the amazed boss
would have given for that "copy?" His
attack of "Indisposition" the next day
was one of the closest calls he ever
had.
There was silence that could be felt
for a month; but the risk had to be
taken, the judge had .to be lot loose.
And what a mess he has made of It!
A review of these extraordinary
"speeches" Is enough to give one the
nightmare. In no instance has there
been a plain; earnest, sincere, truth
ful discussion of the questions at Is
sue. Instead, a series of rambling
talks that would discredit a candidate
for justice of the peace in Schwenks
ville, whore the Judge raises chickens
and bonnyclabber. Let us run rapid
ly over some of the points raised In
the great case of the people against
the machine.
Dodging Vital Issues.
It was charged that Quay set up
Pennypacker because of the letter's
personal devotion, past, present and
future guaranteed. Not a word is said,
however, in reply. No denial, no pro
test, no manly declaration of personal
independence, no denunciation of the
manifold crimes of Quayism, no prom
ise of clean hands and honest govern
ment.
It was charged that the last session
of the legislature was corrupt beyond
all others. In reply, Judge Penny
packer quotes perfunctory approval of
the routine work of a legal commission
which codified laws and simplified
practice, and then drops the curtain,
saying; "We have nothing to do with
the past."
It was charged that legislative can
didates were largely set up by a cor
rupt machine for selfish purposes. In
reply, it was declared that these men
represented the virtue and intelligence
of the people, a statement that shows
mental and moral obtuseness of an
extraordinary degree.
It was charged that the legislature
was organized through open bribery.
No reply.
It was charged that the last sena
torial election was shamelessly cor
rupt. No reply.
It was charged that the machine
kept itself In power largely through
control and misuse of the public funds.
It was claimed, in reply, in the words
of Quay, In a public speech, that no
public money had been "lost." Of
course not; defalcations having been
made good by unhappy bondsmen.
No Censure of Wrong-Doing.
It was charged that crooked appor
tionments were made to keep the Quay
ring in power. No reply.
It was charged that public institu
tions had been robbed of part of their
appropriations, hirst, in reply, proof
was demanded. When that was prompt
ly furnished, silence.
It was charged that the machine
fought against true ballot reform. Re
ply, when "the organization," that is
the machine, made a new ballot law,
to suit itself, it would be approved.
It was charged that public franchises
had been unfairly bestowed upon ring
favorites. No reply.
It was charged that the state and
municipalities had been greatly wrong
ed by these combines. Reply: "The
state is no peddler," an absurd piece
of pettifogging, in violence of the rul
ing of the supreme court, and prevail
ing practice in all other states.
It was charged and clearly proven
that Judge Pennypacker, upon four dif
ferent occasions, grossly misquoted
Governor Pattison's speech of accept
ance and falsely accused him of slan-
ROUND THE REGION.
The sheriff of Schuylkill county has
posted election proclamations at all the
camps in tho county in accordance with
the require tn en to of tho election law.
The oilicers of the Tenth regiment have
received from tho sheriff of Alleghcjn}
county copies of the county election pro
clamation. It has been definitely deter
mined that the votes of the Tenth rcgi
ment, stationed at Shenandoah, and the
Fourteenth, at Mahanoy City, will be
cast in tho field.
The Sharnokin-Mt. Carmel Trolley
Company discharged a conductor on tho
Centralia branch Friday night. Next
morning tho trolley union held a meet
ing and appointed a committee to await
upon President Smith and demand his
reinstatement, with tho alternative of a
tie-up on the road at daybreak on Sun
day. The man was reinstated, and
some other grievances wore adjusted.
Fred Smith, of Miners Mills, was
driving along tho railroad tracks when
his carriage was struck by a engine.
He was thrown into the air and bis coal
caught on the shaft. He hung suspend
ed in the air over a stream until rescu
ed. Neither man nor horse was injur
ed.
Strikers who have been employed in
the large cities still continue to return.
dering honest legislators. No reply.
It was charged and clearly shown
that the machine promotes monstrous
frauds at the polls. Reply, again fol
lowing Quay: "You exaggerate. I never
saw any."
It has been charged from the be
ginning that the Quay candidate, if
elected, will be a subservient tool of
Quayism. No reply.
Rejoicing Over Injustice.
When a mob of armed ruffians,
shouting for Pennypacker, broke up an
assemblage of peaceable citizens, the
machine candidate was urged by
shame-faced friends to denounce the
outrage. No reply; instead, when told
that the mob's purpose was accom
plished through legal quibbles, Judge
Pennypacker forever discredited him
self in the eyes of fair-mindod men,
brought additional shame upon his
state and gave final proof of his un
worthiness of public trust and confi
dence, by gleefully exclaiming "That's
good news."
So it has been all the way through.
This great state has never witnessed
such a humiliating spectacle as that
presented by the candidacy of Samuel
W. Pennypacker. His course has been
such that patriotic citizens, in greater
number than ever before, and with in
creasing indignation, while declaring
their continued loyalty to the Republi
can party under honest leadership,
have openly announced their intention
to repudiate him at the polls and to
cast their ballots for the honorablo
opponent whom he has vainly sought
to belittle and misrepresent. Ho has
emphasized the supreme issue of the
hour in Pennsylvania. He has made
ft clear to all that Pennypackerlsm and
Quayism are one and the same thing;
that a vote for him means the indefi
nite perpetuation of the malign power
which has so long and so grievously
afflicted the people of the greatest in
dustrial state in the Union.
The kind that cured your Grandfather.
