political ends" Yet General Beavers eau
didacy has been largely helped by the bas
est use or abuse OF patronage. The fifth
resolution Of that SINE platform on which
he stands, and which he s0lemnly pledged
himself to uphold, declares that We con-
demn compulsory assessments for political
purposes Yet every dollar of the enor-
nous expences Of Gen. Beavers campaign
has been paid out of a fund created by
political assessments upon the poor men,
women and even children, employed by
the government. With his saDctiOn and
connivance those assessments have been
levied and collected, aud he himself has
helped spend the money wrung from the
poor victims Of his state committees cx-
actions through their fears.
No Republican who would preserve the
rights of the people to choose their own
public officials can consistently vote for
General Beaver. No Republican who
would maintain the safeguards which the
Republican rules throw about conventions
will be justified in voting for General
Beaver, for lie has trampled upon them
all. No Republican who would not put
an autocratic boss above the popular will
can be justified in supporting him No
Republican who demands ability and po-
litical honesty can be justified in voting
for him and every Republican who honors
and loves his party, and who, because of
his love and honor for it, would save it
from the destroying influences Of bossism
and machine methods. will be justified in
voting against Boss Cameron's personal
candidate for governor. General Beaver.
Gov. Hoyt's Denial.
Gov. Hoyt has made the statement with
respect t" the charges that he had used
tho states funds for private speculative
purposes, aud that to avoid disgrace ke
had appealed to Senator Cameron to come
to his assistance, which the latter did. He
says:
II was neve: the member nt any pool
engaged III stock speculation. 1 desire to
state, emphatically and without aualitica
tiOn, that have never requested ii, per
son or by agent, of Mr.. Cameron any
financial assistance, either for myself or
anybody else that he has never advanced
one dollar to me or in my behalf or
On my account in any transaction, and
that have never had any relation or con-
nectiOn in business with any party or COM
bination or pool to whom he may have
advanced money, directly or indirectly.
So far IN life have not been compelled
to draw on either tho intellectual, moral,
political, Or financial resources of that
gentleman. This attack is doubtless a
part of their discipline of determination
to which am to te subjected in common
with a large number of other citizens OF
the commonwealth. We accept the situa-
tiOn."
SEQ That the Names are Spelled Right.
To the Editor OF the Times.
have reliable information that in Ale
gheny county the usual tally sheets fur
niShed by the county commissioners this
year had the name OF the Democratic can
didate for governor printed "Robert F.
Pattison, instead Of Robert L. .Pattison."
This may have been an unintentional
error it may have been done by design
In either case it is we'll that the people of
all sections should lie warned against
similar dangers of misreporting the true
returns. OF course the error in Allegheny
will be guarded against by the local De-
mocracy there, aud the opposition may as
well understand that we do not propose to
be cheated out of the verdict which the
voters honestly intend to render.
