No Prescription.

John |. Mitchell, John Stewart. /.
D. M'Kee and Wharton Barker, who
toully betrayed honest Republicans
into aiding in the election of Patti
son, are just now being voiced by
the Philadelphia Press with the cry
of no prescription, meaning that the
friends of the Republican ticket,
headed by Gen. Beaver, should not
prescribe the recreant hypocrites and
falsifieis who did all they could to
betray the Republican party, and
deliver the State into the hands of
the Democrats. Prescription by
whom? Certainly not by the friends
of Gen. Beaver and the Republican
ticket, because they could not pro
scribe these renegates if they want
ed to. M'kee, Stewart, Mitchell &
Co. went out of the Republican par
ty months ago, and are therefore not
in it to be prescribed any more :han
the Democrats are. The proscrip-
tion that NJ 'Kee, Stewart, Mitchell
4 Co. fear, and should fear, is that
of the h, nest Republicans who were
deceived by them into going into
the Independent movement. There
are honest, well thinking men
amongst the rank and file of the In
dependents who hereafter and for
ever will prescribe M'Kee, Stewart,
Mitchell il Co. as no friend of Gen.
Beaver ever could prescribe them,
because the hoaest Independent Re
publican who was cheated out OF
his vote by the false pretense and
deception of M'Kee, Stewart, Mitch
ell & Co feels his humiliation and
the humiliation of the Republican
party more keenly than any man
who voted for Gen. Beaver can. Pro-
scribe them? mol The leaders of the
Independents are not in position
to be prescribed by Republicans be-
cause they prescribed themselves
long ago. When John |. Mitchell
telegraphed from Washington that
the ticket headed by Gen. Beaver
must ue beaten" lie prescribed
himself. When |. ID. M'Kee refused
to submit the differences in the Re-
publican party. he prescribed him.
self. When John Stewart vent over
the State traducing and vilifying
better men than he, who are the
trusted leaders of the Republican
party, and kept himself before the
people as a candidate for Governor
avowedly in the interests of Patti
son, he prescribed himself, and what
NJ 'Kee, Mitchell, Stewart d Co. have
done most etfectually for themselves
cannot be done again by others. No
true Republican can or does hold
any apimosity towards, nor has any
desire or intention to prescribe the
honest Republican who voted the
Independent ticket. For such no
prescription is necessary, for they see
the utter folly and uselessness of
their acts just as well as anybody
else does, and many of them to-day
regret the course they pursued. If,
however, John |. Mitchell. John
Stewart, |. d. NJ Kee, Wharton Bar
ker, and such betrayers of the Re
publican party fiatter themselves
that the people of the State of Penn
sylvania, after submitting to Demo
cratic domination for years, will for
give them for having betrayed the
State, and perhaps the nation. TO the
Democrats, they are mistaken. Ev-
cry outrage the Democracy may in
flict OH the State will be directly at
tributable to Stewart, Mitchell,
M'Kee & Co., and the people will
hold them more and more response
bic every day that they live, and
those whom they BETRAYED, will feel
more keenly the great wrong they
have done to the Republican party
and the State as the years roll on,
and they will be held in greater con-
tempt and prescription by the Inde
pendents whom they deceived with |
each year. That is prescription
enough. No friend of Gen. Beavers
and the Republican ticket need at
tempt to add to the humiliation and
of John Stewart, John
!. Mitchell, Wharton Barker, |. D.
M'Kee and their confedeIates, it is
and lasting. for they ac-
complished it themselves, and there
all decent Republicans should leave
them.-Harrisburg Telegraph.
