JOHN STEWART, the Independent Re-
publican candidate for Governor. deIiy-
cred a speech at Easton. Saturday last.
in which, referring to the oft-repeated
charge that Don Cameron had dictated
the nominations of Beaver and his col
leagues ON the State ticket. he said 8.

Beavers repeated denials that Cameron
had anything to do with his nomination,
and that it was the spontaneous action
Of the Republican party. BY the time
Stewart gets through with Cameron
and Beaver, at the close Of the cam

a great many things that they never
knew before. or even suspected. about
the interior workings Of Cameron 's-po-
litical machine. Stewart having always
been Republican thoroughly under

/ IT is always a great pleasure to read
! speech abOunding in strong, hard COM
mon sense, expressed in words so plain
/ and simple as to be easily cOmprehended
by the most ordinary mind. Such a
[ speech is that of Robert Z. Pattison,
( Democratic candidate for Governor, to
| be found elsewhere in our paper, which
was delivered onTuesday eveniug'of last
week, at a reception rendered him and
his colleagues on the State ticket bv the
/ Commonwealth Club of PHILADELPHIA.
1t is an admirable speech and almost
every sentence in it shows the sincerity
OF his belief in the responsibility Of Of
fetal trust. II do not mean to neglect
the duties Of one office for the purpose
of being elevated to another is his
brief but comprehensive reason for not
deseTting his post Of duty in the Control
ler's Office and like Beaver, rambling
over the State for the purpose of show
ing himself at camp-meetings and cOun-
ty fairs. Public Office is a public trust
to be executed for the benefit of the
whole people. to whom alone officials
are responsible, and of whose will they
should be the faithful exponents, - is the
way in which he refers to the discharge
Of public duty. ''To lessen the cost of
government lightens the burden of la
Dor, - is his plea for economy liz the ad-
ministration OF affairs, whether Of the
general, State, county, or municipal
government. Mr.. Pattison is a true re-
former and not a man who is constantly
speaking of somebody else reforming
something. When the opportunity was
presented TO him as Controller of Phil
adelphia to meet the crying demand of
the taxpayers for relief from the abuses
in that Office. he did not shrink from the
task, young as he was. but boldly Crap
pied with it and has earned a national
reputation as a thorough and successful
refOrmer. PattisOn has his reform and
retrenchment record to recommend him
to the people for their suffrages. while
Beaver has nothing to stand upon ex-
cept his subserviency to the political
fortunes Of Don Cameron.

THERE is a great deal of general con-
demnatiOn OH principle of the practice
of political assessments by the Republi-
can party. This Of course is right. for
correct principles makespOlitical ASSESS
ments radically wrong. But the severe
practical side of the case. which exposes
the injustice of the system in all its
workings, does not often come to light.
The Washington Post gives an instance
which ought to make every Republican
feel proud of his party. The Post says
there is in Washington a clerk holding a
government position who is struggling
to support a family of eight persons. in
Guiding his aged mother and wife's IA
ther, on a salary of 81 900 per year
This clerk has already been peremptOrily
assessed by national State and district
committees of the Republican party ten
per cent. Of his salary, or one hundred
dollars, Fearing that the ''infuence'
which keeps him in Office would be with
drawn if he refused payment, and hav-
ing no money to meet the demand. he
was compelled to sell a gold watch and
chain presented to his wife by a relative
He has now paid all his assessments and
trembles in his boots lest he may be sub
jected to another before election day. 1t
IS upon such eXtOTtiOn that the Repub-
lican party lives. Harrisburg Patriot.

WHERE THE DEMOCRATS STAND
Extract from a speech delivered at Lock
Haven, September u, by NJ. F. Elliott,
Democratic candidate for Congressman
at-LaTCe:
"The Democratic party has declared in its
platform that it is in favor of protecting
American industries and I say it from nv
heart-and BY this I expect 70 stand-that I
am in favor of such a tariff as will effect
justly the employer and employee. AS
Pennsylvania I am in favor Of protecting
Pennsylyaria's industries, not for the benefit
Of the manufacturer alone, but for the bene-
fl Of the iabOrer as we'll and the people in
general Idon't want Simon Cameron to say,
and he cannot truthfully say, that one man
on the Democratic ticket is averse to protect
ing the industries of this State These are
my convictions | have always expressed
them and expect TO retain them"
