Philadelphia Ledger.
Beyond all question he is; the best, and,
indeed, only controller worthy of the
name the city has ever had. He has been
attentive, vigilant and faithful, and since
his installation in the Office the organized
plumber by the departments, which form
erly passed unchecked there, and in some
instances was carried Oh by collusiOn, has
wholly ceased so far rs his official power
extends. His well earned good name i'll
the administration Of this office has un-
doubtedly given it the force that carried il
through the convention, i'll the face of SO
strong and close q contest. AS q candi-
date with an excellent personal and Ofli-
cial record, he stands level with tho best
Of those already placed before the people
by Tho Regular and Independent Repub!:
cans.
Will Succeed by Deserving Success.
Philadelphia Times.
Mr.. PattisOn will start squarely right
and will grow III stature as {. leader every
day OF the battle. He is young, able, en-,
thusiastic and stranger to the defensive,
and none misunderstood his attitude. He
is 10 mans man. He is independent,
fearless and honest in the brOadest sense,
and his public and private record will defy
the malignity of a campaign. He can be
i'll spared from Philadelphia, where he has
made reform the rule and prcfligacy the
exception by his unfaltering fidelity to
the interest of the people, but his election
will transfer to the broader field of state
tho public integrity and economy he has,
more than any other, inaugurated in our
| municipal government. t.................
PattisOn will defeat Beaver in Republican
Philadelphia and he will lead Beaver tens
Of thousands in the state. His nomination
will make reform Republicans take no
pause about lines Of retreat, and the In
dependents can now defiantly Srapple
with the boss machine and master Cam
eron in his own citadel Of usurped power
His Strength mt Home.
Philadelphia Press.
His connection will, these reforms has
given him in the local contests in this city
thousands Of supporters from among
voters who are Republican ON every other
issue. ....... His administration Of
his Office as controller adds to hi,
strength because it makes conspicuous his
representative character, not as a Demo
crat, but as q refOrmer. AS such he is
nominated, and he can be sccessfully Op-
posed only by demonstrating to the peo-
pie Of PENNSYLVANIA that the Republican
party, reformed and disanthrallcd, It's
bosses deposed and it's machine smashed,
itself represents in more abundant meas
ure the reform it's voters sought when
they supported MIR. Pattison. 1t will be
judicial blindness to see any meaning in
the plain lesson read by this open attempt
of the Democratic party to satisfy the
ruling demand of the day.
A Strong Nomination.
Philadelphia Record,
His record as controller Of the city of
Philadelphia will be tower of strength
TO him in the canvas, for it Will enable
the rank and file Of the party to rest as
surcd that if chosen to the gOyernOrsbip no
dishonest practices will find tOleratiOn in
the administration that the chief execu-
tive of the state will be no respectOr Of
persons and that an earnest effort will be
made to enforce the laws according 20
their spirit as we'll as according to their
letter. The belief will dOubtlesss infence
not few voters outside of the Democratic
party to c.st their ballots for Mr.. Pa,tisOp.
The nomination is a strong one.
Tried and Proven.

bearer whose integrity has been tried and
proved, and who enjoys measure of pub
lie confidence and respect such rs not
many of his political colleagues have been
able to command.
Philadelphia Inquirer.
In making this nomination the Demo
Gratis have probably made As strong one
as it was possible for them to make, and
have done the best for themselves that it
was possible for them tod
