General Assembly has met As regularly and
as regularly bowed to the Same master.
The one has denied your choice Of can
didates, the other has refused your de-
mand for proper legislation. A year ago
the Republican convention met 10 'nDni-
nate . candidate for state treasurer.
There was before them candidate who
had some claims upon the party and for
whom there WAS y strcng popular senti-
ment, bu. he VAS pushed aside to give
place to Il man who was scarcely known
outside his own county and whose only
merit was that he was ono OF tho 3O6 who
stood together ~ Chicago. Two years
ago the people selected their delegates to
the convention with srca. care the sen
timent was emphatic;,lly against y third
term, and the;c WAS q most decided ex-
preston Of choice Is to q candidate for
president. They met 1T Harrisburg and
one nights rest there converted that body
of men from being representatives Of the
people, to the CONDITION Of servants to the
bosses. They went to Chicago, defeated
the will of tho people, and deprived
them Of their choice Of chief
m agistrate. BY the Influence Of ono man
YOU are deprived Of tho free will YOU arc
supposed to POSSESS. There is not IN
Pennsylvania to-day United States OFF,
Ger who does not hold his commission by
virtue of this man. Now, tho experiment
propose is that the people shall govern
themselves and control their own affairs.
That is all aud yet there are some good
men who fear such an experiment would
result in anarchy. They think bosses are
necessary that the party Of great moral
ideas can be wcll and wisely administered
only by . boss and there are others who,
while deplOripg bOssism, think it would
be hazardous tO kill tho bosses, lest the
people be killed also and there are others
who profess to believe that If the bosses
were OverthrOwn it would only be
making room for other bosses, Mr..
Stewart said if he could believe that the
overthrow Of the bosses would result in
establishing other bosses in their stead,
he would not be taking any part in this
campaign /; but he has faith in the people
and believes they can manage their own
affairs without \ boss. There arc sOmo
parties that may require bosses; the
Democratic party has been OOssed by tho
Republicans for years they have become
SO used to being bOsscd that they could
not live without it. Laughtcr.] But the
Republicans require ND bosses. They
want leaders there is great difference
between bosses and leaders and unfOr-
tunately the Republican party of Penn
sylvania has not been much, troubled by
leadership. Our senator rewards those
who are faithful to him with the spOi!s Of
Office placed ut his disposal, and
having done that imagines he has done bis
whole duty to the people. MIR. Stewart
then cOntrasted the bOssism of Cameron
with the leadership of Garfield and Blaine,
who did not attain their lofty position and
imperishable fame by the distribution Of
spOils, by being leaders Of the thought of
tho ration. The mention of Blaine's name
elected great applause and the speaker
asked: Why do you applaudf he has
nothing to give he il NO boss he Is na-
tive to your soil, but had h4 remained hero
he would have remained u workman at the
printers case, bUssism would have kept
him down. The speaker said he respected
tho leader vino could inform or instruct
the people, but he rebclled againet
the boss who attempted to craCk
his whip over him. 1t does not
fellow, If Cameron is endorsed, another
boss will be seated in his place. More be.
neficent results will follow the boss sys-
TEN will be crushed the spOils party will
perish and pure Republicanism will re-

When has her senator spoken for tie

nation With what great public measure
is his name connected? While other
statesmen are engaged in helping to ad.

employed iu official brokerage. Has he

Stewart at some length defended the
present Independent revolt the timo
10 CON mence reform is DOW-nOt
tomorrow, or next year, or some other
year-but now. He eulosized Wolfe for
his courage and discernment in setting fhe
ball in motion year ago, and though he
| would have preferred reform in the party
he was convinced that nothing but heroic
treatment would do now. It is necessary
to cut loose rom the bosses, but not
from the principles of the Republican
party, every Que Of which the 1ndepend-
ents subscribe to. If the party is
divided it il only because the people arc
determined to separate from the machine.
He ridicuIed Beavers and CamerOn's
attempt to get up . free trsde sssre.
Neither tho governor nor lieutenant- COVER
nor have anything to do with the tariff. 1t
is not the tariff but The Cameron dynasty
that is III danger, and is about to topple
and crulnble.
