family and needed all her income,
would not he required by Malone to
pay up, and he even ventured so far as
to decare that it would bea shame if
she should. But think of government
clerk being referred to the Virginia
senator's mercy to save her situation and
her money! If that is not a scandalous
exposure of the delegation by the presi-
dent OF the United States of his au-
thOrity, we know not what it is.
The Lancaster Democracy are preparing
to give the next governor rousing re-
ception. Pattison will be here to-mor-
row.
HAS Governor Hoyt heard the loud call
that is made on him to speak what he
thinks about Senator Cameron in general
and the present campaign in particulars
CAUTIOUS and farsighted Republicans
have already engaged passage on the boat
that is to bear them up Salt River next
week. There will be rush and a crush
after the returns come in.
REPUBLICAN Outcry was raised at tho
alleged shrinkage in values Of $40, ,000. 900
after the Ohio election. Since that cleo
tiOn the advance in corn and wheat has
amounted to nearly $500. 600, 600. Hero is
wide fold for Republican comment.
CANDIDATE BEAVER, in speech at
Chambersturg, Saturday night, de-
clared that "cne hundred thousand
full grown men in the Republi-
can party were running away from
one man, Don Cameron" Was this ad
mission OF the Independent strength in
the state an inadvertence on the part of
tho Stalwa,t candidate I?
THERE is such thing as carrying par
tizan mal;snity too far. The venon'dis-
tilling Philadelphia Bulletin attempts to
make capital out of the exploded " Mes
and 0's'' story by claiming that Pattison
has never made an affidavit of denial. Mr..
P.sttison has denied this bare charge over
his own signature and the files of four
OF the Nest reputable dailies Of Philadcl-
phia have been looked through and no
such r.mark as alleged has been found in
the report Of the speech as delivered. To
keep the silly story in circulation on the
sole technical grou'.d that an affidavit of
denial has never been made is an exhibi-
ticn of partisan urfairness Of which only
the NEST 6ismput table boss organs could be
guilty.
'fTHE abolition of unnecessary OfficesY
the reduction Of the number of public de.
pendents, the narrowing of responsibility
and economy in the public expense, con
| stitutc an urgent and practical reform.
This would be substantial benefit to the
people. To lessen the cost of government
lightens the burdens OF labor. The authors
and abettors Of the evils under which the
people suffer are now OIL thcir trial in this
commonwealth. After 4 long steward.
ship they will be judged by deeds and moi
by declarations. Professions are easily
made but the people have been fed on
such dry husks SO long that they have re
solved to determine who shall be their
servants, not by what is promised for the
future, but by what has been done in the
| past. .''-From Pattison's Commonwealth
| Club Speech.
! THE closing week Of the campaign finds
tho Republican ranks il the last ditch OF
Decentralization, whilst the Democrats,
united and confident, arc moving forward
with steady and resistless tread. There is
absolutely nothing to shake the belief
in Pattison's election by an overwhelming
majority. From this timo forward The
watchword must be organization" The
enemy will spare no effort to weaken the
Democratic column, and if possible detect
vulnerable points in the line. All tina,
money and base deceit can accomplish will
be invoked by the desperate Stalwart
bosses and their willing henchmen. 1t il
needless to say their Vaccinations will be
powerless il the Democrats keep .hei,
eyes wide open and maintain sharp look
out upon their immediate neighborhoods
See that your Democratic neighbor is pro.
vided with the full ticket, state, judiciary
and county if he be infirm and unable te
walk to tho polls, don't neglect to notify
your ward OR district committeeman, Sc
that provision may be made to have hin
conveyed to the place OF voting, where ht
may deposit his ballot in the interest Of
honest government and reform. It is tn.
little points that require looking after, ant
with these properly regulated the big
| ones will take care of themselves. From
now on to the day of election let there be
| no abatement Of Democratic activity
Great results ere achieved only by earnest
effort. The party was never in better
condition for an overwhelming triumph
Bring out the Democratic vote, and
naught can stay the floodtide that is pre-
pairing to sweep from Lake Erie to the
Delaware and establish a Democratic ad-
ministraticn in Pennsylvania for the first
time iu nearly quarter of a century.
