Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1882-11-03

day will witness the biggest political
wash-out this country has seen for twenty
two years. The Democracy struck on the
rock in 1860, and in 1882 the old Republi.
can ship is humping itself to pieces amid
the breakers of factional bitterness and
hatred. History repeats itself.
SINCE Pattison has been among the
people the Stalwart organs have ceased to
get of tLeir silly twaddle about his in.
ability to discuss public questions. Es.
pecially do they avoid making any com.
par;sons between his speeches and of those
| Of Beaver. In this case comparisons are.
indeed Odious-to the bosses and their
handi capped candidate.
Till Stalwarts are clinging in despera
ton to the exploded notion that the Labor
! vote and the Democratic disaffection in
| that direction will more than counterbal.
| ancc the revolt in their own party and
| save Beaver. Our Stalwart friends, if
they are counting upon q repetition Of the
game of 1873, should bear in mind the
old adage that burnt powder can't be
used the second time.
A VOTE for Pattison is vote upon
which every good citizen can go to sleep
on election night with q we'll satisfied
conscience after casting: it. 1t is vote for a
cean handed man, who owes his Domina
tion to no bargains or deals. who has no
bosses behind him, and is under no
pledges, express Or implied, to hamper
him from doing his full duty to the public
as chief magistrate of the state.
"WHY don't you take Editor Smith 8
advice, unload" Cameron, and 20 for
Beaver on his own merits ?" said Mr..
Eby to General Beaver. " I soouM rather
not be gocernor Aan do that :" responded
Cameron's candidate. Do the freemen of
Pennsylvania wish to place in the execu-
tive chair a man who thus proudly pro
claims his subservience to James Donald
Cameron
ALL the kinks have been got out of
the senatorial districts, and the Demo.
Gratis are certain to hold their own. 1t is
probable that they will make net gain of
several members. Thomas (Bucks).
Rambo (Montgomery), McNein (Alle.
gheny) aud Hughes 18th Philadelphia), J,
Republican candidates, are almost certain
to be defeated, while Stehman's chances
arc not very good.
LET every honest citizen, irrespective o f
party, remember that the opportunity now
presented to strike down the corrupt com.
bination which has so long misruled and
p!nndered Pennsylvania is ono that has
not been presented to the people of the
state before under such favorable circum-
stances. Pattison's vote ought to exceed
anything over given to candidate for
governor. Let us crush the machine to
powder.
WAYNE MACVEAGH thinks Blaine eulo-
gized Eosler, the Cameron candidate in
the 3sd senatorial district, upon impulse
anG without proper reflection. lie further
states that Star Route testimony dcvelo-
ped tho fact that Bosler was Do.sey's
partner, and that they were receiving
from single route-No. 40,1O4-at tho
rate of sa4, 600 per anrum, without pre-
| tcnce of doing anything whatever to earn
it. Men are usually known by the c,nl-
pany they keep, aud time may prov, that
it would have baen better for the famous
lndian-becs and mal.-rOute contractor to
have remained in his former ohscurity
rather than exhibit his shortcomings to y
scrutinizins public.
Beavers attempted denial of the re-
mark attributed TO him in reference to
unloading Cameron I" l would rather not
be governor than do that" has not panned
ont very we'll. Mr.. J. Il. Eby, tho in
fornant, in card just published, "un-
hesitatipgly reafirms that in all essen.
tial points it (the Neso Era report } was
substantially correct That these are
Beavers real sentiments no unpreiudiced
man with the smailes: modcum of com
mon sense will deny. In Philadelphia a
few nights since he said that "I5 is Just
as dishcnorable to pledge oneself against
man as it would be to pledge oneself for
hin" which in plain English means that
he is too cowardly to declare his independ-
ence of Cameron. He asserts that he has
made no pledge to 1 living man if he is
elected. But Don Cameron needs no
formal assurance from tho man who be-
trayed his constituents at Chicago to do
his bidding.
