PROPHECY AND FULFlLMENT.

John NJ. Clayton, in his great Speech
at Lancaster, IN 1914, thus eloquently and
truIhiulIy predicted the effect of Folks G.
lection upon the keystone State:
"Should the struggle for national indie.
pendence which is now rigging throughout
the length and brerdth of the land, be de.
cided against US by the vote Of Pennsylya-
mia, she will come out OF that contest with
her gorgeous banner trailing in the dust,
herself bleeding at every poro. The
shout of party triumph will be speed.
ly succeeded by the wall of her ruined
poughmen and her bcggarcd mechanics.
The fires of her torgcs, and the sound of
axe and workshop will die away amidst the
acclamatons of her victory; and there may
be many among the thousands before mo,
who with sorrow.strlckcn, if not with bro.
ken hearts, may live 10 mourn the loss of
that without which public liberty would
cease to be blessing. But let me add,
should the spirit of independence be dis.
,arded from the breast Of all other Amer. |
cans, It will linger in the heart of that gal. |
ant little State (Delawure) which, as she
vas the first 10 adopt the American Con.
will be the last to abandon its
