tupity.
OF ibe four reasons given by Gov. Wise in his
Richmond ratification speech why Mr.. Buchanan
deserved TO be nominated and ought to be elected
President, the first was-that it was due to the
man That reason, and the statements made to
,upport il, we have already analJzed with this re-
suit: that the personal claim of Mr.. Buchanan to
the Presidency, as set forth by Gov. Wise, rests
entirely on the fact that he has always been de.
voted and faithful slave Of the Slave Power. The
,pe III short Of Gov. Wises argument on that
point is that Mr. Buchanan having proved himself,
by years of unIeGarded or but partially rewarded
seIyGe, as bOOt-back, waiter h)stler and coach
man, tru-ty family servant of the Slave Power,
and nt yer having shown any disposition to shirk,
ikulk or run awsy-except once, indeed, when he
wssa "mere boy "a very youth" of twenty ynine, and
not yet arrived at years of discre!ion-oeDg now
On old msp, ptrty. well-lockiDg and with "head
white as snow, one who does not get drunk nor In
duIse in other like peccadiliOs, but who has I" con-
"stIyed bims, If and kept bis faculties 80 well ~
"virtucus life, that he nov, at the age
" sixty five, has many years OF service sill In
"him'-this faithful we'll behaved highly re-
spectacle old gentleman who never in his life
has been guilty of the slightest "ins0lence " t.
his master is, in Mr.. Wise's opinion the very per-
SOL TO be promoted TO the place If head butler for
the Slave Power, with the custody of the keys the
purveyorshjp OF the store room and wine e-cellar,
aud the general supeIintendence of all the inferior
servants.
So much for Mr. Buchapan's personal claims to
the Presidency. We procsed now TO Gov. Wise's
secOId reascn why he was nominated, and why he
ought TO be elected, which second reason is, that
it is due to the Slate of Pennsy lvatia. "Pennsyl.
uysnis," ssys Gov. Wise, is one Of the Oldest
card largest Of the old thirteen. From 1901, in
1909, and the war of 1912, in the election Of
"Monroe through that of Gen. jackson, down to
this day. she has b the key stone of the Federal
" arch, and the stay aid support of the Democratic
"party and its principles" and yet, though 80
distinguished in every great battle for DemOc.
"racy,"" " she has never been honored until nov
with csDdidste for the Presidency. She has
"been working for other men If other States, aud
"not been allowed TO name son of her own"
Upon this .tste of fscts, Gov. Wise urges that i.
was highly fit, i! was but justice to Pennsy lvania
and 10 the Democracy Of Penns, lvania, that Mr..
Buchanan should now have been nomin ,tei aud
should be elected.
Fully sdni.tpg oil the merits Of Pennsy lyania
aid Of the Democracy OF Pennsy lyaDa, as set forth
BY Gov. Wise, and the just claim o! Pennsy lyalis
upon the Democratic party to have one Of her own
n 70. ho
still it seems to us a rather odd way Of showing
gratitude 10 Pennsylvania for her adhesion to the
Democratic party in 1901, for her support Of the
Democratic policy of 1909, and Of the Democratic
war o. 1912, and Of the election Of Monroe, to Sc
lsct as the PennsJ lgapis Democratic candidate for
the Preside Icy d man educated in most bitter hos
tiiy 10 he political revolution Of 1901, who, so
lopg as be frs,kly spoke his own sentiments re-
esrdtd al denounced the accession of Jefferson at
T. at tine as siieyous calamity, ana the policy of
1869 as equally peILiciOus and disastrVus-a man
