Powderly for Pattison

A large and enthusiastic democratic
mass meeting was held at Nanticoke
last week Friday. Among the speak.
ers was Mayor T. V. Powderly of
Scranton, one of the foremost labor re-
formers in the state. Referring to the
election he said:
Il have acted with the labor reform
party ever since its inception. l am a
labor rsformer from principle, and 1
want to warn you against those who
are not 10; for it is an unfortunate fact
that bad ard vicious men from the
slums have usurped the right to speak
for the labor reform party and seek to
barter its support to the old parties for
price. Such men have made them.
selves conspicuous in the pending
campaign and haye gone with an offer
of the votes they cannot deliver to the
Cameron party. They are wicked men
and l warn you against them. l warn
you not to vote the stalwart ticket nor
the Independent ticket. Do not throw
your votes away on the latter, neither
on the so-called labor ticket, or any
side ticket, but vote the democratic
ticket entire. Vote for Pattison. Pat
tison represents true reform. He re-
presents economy and honesty in public
expenditures. He represents the reform
that will lower taxes, relieve industries
and thereby make better wages for
labor. Vote for him. Stand squarely
in this issue by him and by his party
and you will have no reason to regret
your action"

The Advantage OF Having an Honest
Democrat for Governor.

In one of the most influential Repub-
lican newspapers of the State we find
the following reference to Mr.. TILDEN's 5
public services: "Gov. Tilden used the
veto power with great freedom, and
with the effect of apprecisbly reducing
the tax rate of the State. Gov. Tilden
rendered another service to the State
a service which was not fully apprecia-
ted at the time, and which may have
been prompted by motives not alto
gether worthy--but service snever-
theless which surpasses anything that
any recent Governor has been able to
render the Commonwealth. We refer
to the breaking up of the Canal Ring
which had fastened its talons into the
vitals of the Treasury. Nothing since
done by Governor or Legislature has
effected such a radical extirpation of
taxes as Mr.. Tilden's successful war
fare upon the Canal Ring thieves. This
is fact which stands plumply in the
light of any assertion that good govern
ment for the Empire State is only posi-
BILE under Republican administration.
This frank admission is made by the
Utica Herald, at q time when many
thousands of Republicans are still un-
decided whether to vote for Democrat
or not to vote at all for Governor. NeS
Fork Sun.
The same general condition of things
which existed At Albany when Tilden
ran for Governor, exists now at Harris
burg, with Pattison running for Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania. And the same
character for infexible honesty which
Tilden has acquired, and which gave
him $4,000 majority over Gen. Dix,
Pattison has also acquired as Con-
troller of the city of Philadelphia, and
which ought to, and will give him so,
900 over Gen. Beaver. An honest ad-
can only be made by an
honest man, and the man ia this cam
paign who has proved hiWself to be
honest is Pattison.

Jere Black Recites A Fable.
AN INTERESTING STORY AND VERY LITTLE
ABOUT THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

Hon. Jeremiah S. Black was in
terviewed recently on the Independent
movement. When asked what was
meant by the Republican uprising Mr..
Black said: at means washing out,
Saunders
II do not understand you at all, said
his interlocutor. "Then,' said the
judge, 81 must tell you story. In
the reign of Charles III. dirty boy,
who seemed to know nothing about
himself except that he had the name of
Saunders, was taken from the cutters
of Chancery lane, London, and set to
keeping the door of an attorneys office.
There he learned to read and write.
He was made clerk, and afterwards
being admitted to practice, he became
one of the greatest special pleaders in
England. He rose to be a sergeant,
then solicitor-general, the official head
of the profession. All this while he
stuck to the habits of dirt and dishon-
esty that he had contracted when a
waif of the streets. He lived alone on
Butchers row, and was 80 filthy in
his person that he broke out into run
ming sores, smelling so badly that it was
martyrdom to sit near him in court.
He did not pretend to have any moral
principles. He even boasted about his
his personal uncleanness, and told
young barristers that although he never
was married it was not fact to be deni-
ed that he had issue of his body.
Nevertheless, he was tolerated and pro
NOTED by a corrupt ministry, which
needed such services as he alone could
render; for he had ability, wealth and
impudence, heart that feared neither
God nor man, and cheek that blushed
at nothing. Altogether he was in
their eyes very grand party. At
length when they wanted an unsorupu-
lous tool at the head of the Judiciary to
decide most unrighteous cause in fa-
vor of the crown (Rex vs.. the Cor
poration of London), they made Saun-
ders chief justice of the kings bench.
Then the decent men of the law deter
mined they would stand him no longer
unless his habits were reformed. They
washed him by main force, cleaned him
up, compelled him to wear the apparel
of gentleman and to live in respecta-
BILE part of the town. But cleanliness
was fatal to him. The grand old par
ty died of it in less than two months.
And now here are Stewart and Wolfe
and Marshall and Lear and Mitchell
and Mcclure and thousand other Re-
publicans of honor and sense, who de-
clare that they have endured as much
as they can from the grand old party.
They will not suffer the martyrdom of
sitting with it longer; the running is
sues of its body are to o offensive to be
borne. They insist that it must be
made decently clean and put on its
good behavior. Therefore they are af-
ter it with soap and rain water, and
sponges and towels and whole suit of
good clothes, determined to wash it and
dress it in spite of its cries and strug-
giles. They do not mean TO kill it, but
perhaps like Saunders, it cannot sur,
yiye the loss of its filth. AT all events
its friends and guardians, and those
who live by its bounty,protest violently
that the cruel Independents will be the
death of it if they succeed in making it
clean

Beaver on Cameron.

A few months ago Beaver said Don
Cameron was ga small man" This, Of
course, was by special permission of the
Boss. Finding the ground slipping
from beneath him, Beaver has found
it necessary to denounce Cameron
with more vigor, and so at meeting
in Pittsburg last week, he used the
following language, by permission.
81 have no sympathy with the so
called Independent movement in this
State. l am not in sympathy with
Senator Cameron and most heartily
condemn the manner in which he has
often used the power of his position.
As / zee it now, l am free to say that
do not think his reelection as Senator
would be for the best interests of the
party, the State or the nation. And if,
when the time comes, l am living, l
will use what influence have to secure
the election of an ADLER and better man
But do not think that it is well to
break up the Republican party in order
to obtain from the fragments a club
for Cameron After Beavers prom
Use to his constituents, and his betray-
al of their cOfdence at Chicago, when
he was instructed for Blaine, but voted
for Grant with the 1906" who will put
any faith in his declarations q" As he
sees it now, Don Cameron is a mill
stone about his neck, and is dragging
him to defeat, but if he should be cleo
ted he would change his goggles, and see
things in very different light. After
accepting the nomination from Cam
eron as Christmas gift, it would be
oowardly in Beaver to denounce the
man that made him, if it were not that
he is acting under instructions from
headquarters.

We do not know when we have seen
a good point more fairly made than
this, at great democratic meeting in
Brooklyn, few days ago, by Mr. Kin
sella. The report of the meeting says
The first of the big meetings arrang-
ed for by the Democratic Campaign
Committee in Brooklyn was held last
night in the Brooklyn Academy The
audience over flowed the hall. Mon
tague street was alive with the surplus
of Democrats. Thomas Kinsella, who
was elected Chairman, said:
AS matter of private judgment,
perhaps, we have no right to find fault
with Mr.. Vanderbilt, when he is will
ing, under certain conditions, to see the
public damned. With the notifications
worked out in our day in the theolog-
ical belief of our fathers, we are not
scared by this great mans private NAL
election, but we are resolved he shall
not work the public's damnation
through his use and abuse of privileges
which the public have conferred upon
him.
Mr.. Jay Gould has doubtless been
felicitating himself of late that he has
succeeded in sending to = political
Hades, from which there is no resur-
rection, an official chosen to watch and
guard the interests of 100000 of
freemen. But if there is anything the
manly and Intelligent voters of this
State are resolved upon at this time, it
is that this avaricious and mysterious
mslefactor shall notprofit by an effror-
terry which shed light upon the dan
ger which now confronts us, as the
lightning does upon the traveller when
it discloses to him at once the path Of
danger and the path of safety.

The Republican this week admits
in effect, that the Democratic party
will win this fall. 1t finds that zone
by one the Independents are drifting
into the democratic camp If this be
true, it will give US 100000 majority
in the state. The Republican desires
all "honest Independents" to return to
the regular camp, but as it claims there
are no honest Independents. this cuts
down the number who might return, to
a cipher. II calls Independents "cow-
ardly and sneaklng enemies" an argu-
ment which is well calculated to bring
back oil wanderers to the Cameron
fold

counties. AT their recent conference
Edward Overton of Bradford was
nominated, defeating @. G. Jadwin
of Wayne, the present member, who
had served but one term. Overton has
been in congress two terms before.
Jadwin now charges Overton with bad
faith and will run against him. The
democrats have nominated G. A. Post
of Wayne. Unless the breach is speed
lily healed, and the prospects now are
against it, the democrats will gain a
congressman in that district. This is
not the only republican distict that has
trouble of the same kind. As the
stalwarts see the government gradually
slipping away from them it puts them
in bad humor, and they are having
