from the legislature of the convicted
briber and lobbyis; Petroff. His especial
friends and supporters in the Republican
State Convention rejected with insults
and contumely WOlfe'S resolution de-
manding honest men in office and de-
nouncing the corrupt methods adopted
to pass kemhle'S four millions steal last
winter Obviously. in selecting Mr..
Butler as their candidate for state Treas
urer, the Treasury Ring knew what 1t
was about. It picked out n reliable
man for the work proposed.
We turn from this dangerous and
alarming record of the Republican can
didate for State Treasurer, which clear
ly shows his connection with the worst
elements of the Republican party, to the
Democratic nominee, Mr.. Barr, and we
have every assurance that under his ad-
ministratiOn of the State Treasury the
Constitution and laws VIII be Tigidly
construed and implicitly obeyed in the
management of the State funds. There
will be no speculation or stock gambling
with the peoples money. There Will be
no Treasury Rings. The books of the
Office will be open TO the public The
unexpended balance will not be the
banking capital of combination of reck-
less political and financial spectators.
Mr.. Barr is pledged by the resolutions
of the Democratic Convention. and by
his own record and declarations, to this
course. And his election is the one
guarantee possible to the people of Penn
sylvania that the old Treasury Ring will
not be revived in all its power and cor
ruptiOn. This is the most important
home issue on which our people viii
vote in November

is elected Governor Of New York over
Rof iusou. the vote OF the State will be
certainly cast next year for the Repub-
Hcan candidate for the Presidency. 1t
must be remembered that the Tammany
Han leaders have proclaimed their pur-
pose to support all the State candidates
on the Democratic ticket except Robin
son, the nominee for Governor, and in
making this declaration there is no rea-
son TO doubt their sincerity. If, there
fore, the result Of the election shows
that Robinson has beer defeated and the
balance Of tLs ticket elected, it viii prove
to the country that the Democracy Of
New Y ork are abuRdantly able 70 cast
the vote Of that State in favor Of A can
diGate Tor President upon whom the two
wings Of the party can unite. If Robin
son is defeated, it viii OF course absO-
luteIv shcIve Mr.. Tilden as Presiden-
tiaI candidate, for the plain reason that
he is far more obnoxious to John Kelly
and his followers than GOV. Robinson
himself. If such a thing is possible. The
detection Of Tammany Hall from Gov
Robinson is unfortunate and 10 be re-
GREETED, b1t keeping in mind its declar-
. ed resolution to support tie balance of
the Democratic state ticket, the Repub-
Iican press is entirely premature in It's
. conclusion that the forty-seveH electoral
B votes Of New York will be cast against
the Democracy at the Presidential cleo
. tion next year. Whether they viii be
or not deUeuds entirely upon the cOntiu-
gcnty We have emenliOned-the defeat OF
Gov. Robinson, but the election Of the
rest of the ticket.
