u Coming events cast their shadows before
This is applicable to political as we'll a.
other matters. The news comes from the
Republican side that Pennsylvania will
make in the fight next month, in such
questionable shape that we are led to the
belief they speak Of that they most dread
and place the best face upon it they posi-
hlS cAn.,, They have deserted in this cam.
psign the superstitions Of what they call
rsgn money. Its ghost haunts their
|. dreams less than at first; the fierce on
slaught upon the record Of Judge Pershing
has lost the intensity of its fire, gradually
every Hold they had has slipped away from
them until the bottom has fallen out of
their cause and exposed the falsity Of their
doctrines. It Is claimed that Judge Persh-
ing is hated by the honest miners among
whom he lives. Do they know that it was
by these very Mollie Maguires that the
name of Psrsilins was first taken up and
mentioned ior the Goyernorship? That it
was in their Aun5le cabins in the valleys
and mountain Businesses of Schuylkill
county thatr the name Of Pershing was first
isped to Importance in the connection it is
now prominently known. Like that Of
Andrew Jackson who was named in 1922
fbr the first time for the Presidency in a
village in the Western part Of Pennsylya-
MIA, it has not taken long for the magnetic
name to spread its influence.
Men like Senator Cameron state that in
these coal regions are the places where they
have most reason to fear that the Republi-
can cause will be endangered. And we'll
he might express such fear, for the miners
can never forget whose hand it was that
bound them down by The iron law of mill
tafy rule, while they were striving to main
tain the Independence ftheir labor, nei-
ther are they unconscious of the fact how
closely all this was allied with the interests
of capita. i.::cHg these are the Welsh
and English miners who have been relied
upon, always as the staunchest Republicans,
but who in their labor cause are of the
strongest and bittersst prejudices, even
more 80 thanthe Irish, and it is this class
who have girded ther armors more tightly
against 1Iartranft than any others. He
attacked their liberties through the instru-
mentality of his soldiery, and they will
show that lin this world there are blows to
take as well as blows to give" through the
ballot box. Allegheny county has already
upon previous election gone overwhelm-
ignly Democratic, while in the whole of the
Lumber regions Of the State there are
marked evidences Of Pershing's increasing
popularity. The fight is entirely upon the
principle Of Reform" and upon such
needed quality in the State government
will the Democrats test conclusions There
are none of the entanglements that were
encountered in the Ohio election. The
temperance question is left out altogether
with all Of its il,fringements upon certain
rights and privileges. There are no secta-
man differences introduced, and the cur.
rency question, while it is - important
that it will command atte,4ion, will not
make such incursions upon the one, of
'"Reiorn,' as confluence any member of
the Democrlt'c party from voting his
ticket H.''r' nuli .l, D.uaI. r.
""But both rar,iss enter the arena to make
Z fair test ofthe, strength of the other.
The Republicans have nothing 10 sfier
but the record of Harranft while in the
Gubcrnatorial chair, h1t Republican rule
in Pennsylvania is 50 tainted with Mackcy-
ism that it is dead weight dragging the
present candidate down and this alone,
even if there was not such terrible opposi-
tion to him in the mining and lumber re-
sions would be sufIit lent to defeat him.
Judge Pershiag enters the fed free from
the taint Of any .dishonor: pri association. !.
