TOM SCOTS DESIGN OF PoCKETING TIE STATE
LEGIsIATURE
HARRISBURG, Dec. 81, 1874
On Tuesday next the Legislature OF this State
Will convene. The most impoi tant topic discussed
on the streets and in the hotels is the coming man
for United states Senator. AS your readers are
aware, the recent democratic victory IN this State
has made the election OF a member OF that party a
foregone conclusion find, on every hand the
Indications denote tnat William A. Wallace, state
senator elect rom Clearfeld county. VIII be the
chosen one to represent the Keystone State IN the
national Senate for the ensuing term OF SIX years.
Tne reason Tor this Is sell-evident. 1t Is well
known that for many years the Pennsylvsnla Gen.
tral Railroad has controlled the State Legislature.
This was under republican rule. Now that the
democrats are in the aScendancy the willy and
astute managers OF the Pennsylvania Railroad
have achieved another victory aud have pocketed
the democratic party. The multiIarous schemes
pregnant the brain Of Tom Scott demand CON-
plete ownership OF the party in power, and 1t Is
again accomplished.
TILE RULING MOTIVE
of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad Is now to sc.
cure O government subsidy to resuscltate the de-
funet and bankrupt southern Pacific Railroad.
The matter is advocated In the various journals
they control. To further the scheme, what better
auxlaries can they need than Senators who are
directly Interested with them? william a. Wal
lace Vice President OF the Southern Pacific Raul
road, is a direct agent.
Your correspondent believes that the gigantic
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad, representing $780, 000, 900,
is making strenuous efforts to control the Legisa-
lures OF New jersey Ohio ana Indiana, for the
further advancement OF the subsidy project. pre-
dict that If they are successful another Credit
MOber Will be galvanized under the name and
title OF the Texas Construction Company, and Its
career viii be copy OF the vlllany and corruption
OF It's predecessor. The initial point OF the plan,
az defined by the party managers, IS the organiZa-
ton OF the House. The Wallace faction have made
UP the slate, awarding the Speakership TO Patter-
son, Of Allegheny, and, TO satisfy the Eastern sec
ton, have decided to elect MCGOWAN, oil Philadel-
phia as Chief CLERK.
TINS arrangement, however, may be changed.
Some OF the country members may prove stubborn
and KICK the traces. Again,
THE BuCKALBw AND CLYMER PARTY
may De able TO erect barter and trade that Will
give them control OF tue House, and SO defeat the
wallace combination. In the confused state or
affairs cannot assert with any certainty the
choice OF the party, but the foregoing is what
have Cleaned from careful inquiry. Nothing ue6
mite VIII be known until she Wallace CLIQUE hold
their caucus, which Will PROBABLY be on Sunday
