cried: "GO back and tell him, by St.
George, I'll unfrock him." So too. shall
it be with the disobedlent servants who
have SO long disregarded the voice of the
people.
PattisOu's Stewardship.
Never has there been such spontaneous
Ovations rs that which has everywhere
greeted the standard bearer Of the party,
Robert E. Pattison. wish to draw a
briei parallel between tho two men who
are now before the people asking their
suffrages. speak not only to the Demo-
cracy, but also to the earnest Republicans
who are in search Of truth. During the
five years of Controller PattisOn's admin
istration of the finances of Philadelphia,
the decrease of the city's debt amounted
to S., GOO 600, while the decrease in tho
annual expenditures reached the enOr-
nous sum of s1.5O0,OOO. The tax
ratio fell from 1925 to S1.S5, for
every S100 of valuation, and there
now remains after all expenses 50, ,OOo, 600
in the city treasury. Compare with this
stainless record Beavers betrayal of his
constituents at Chicago. He was elected
delegate to represent the wishes of
people who were almost unit in their
support of certain man for the presi-
dency. He knew the sentiments of the
people who had elected him to voice their
feelings, and yet he deliberately violated
their known wishes and voted for third
term for General Grant. And tho voice
of these same people whom he then DO.
trayed is now lOudest in his condemna
ton.
Beaver as an Executive Oficer.
When first l took my seat in the
Senate of tho state in January, 1880,
report from i committee of inves-
tigation of the conduct of the State
Agricultural college was submitted in
which General Beaver was gravely cen
sured for his extravagant and prOtligate
mismanagement. Since that time and in
anticipation Of his nomination another
committee of investigation was appointed,
but that committee will not report until
after the election. His friends on that
committee do not wish to expose his short
comings to. the people. He has been twice
tried and found wanting. Shall he be
given another chance to prove his inca
pacitys [Cries of "No, No."l Who
ever heard of a committee passing on the
work of Controller Pattison: He needs
no cestifcates. Tho $1,000 Republicans
who voted for him in 1880 in the heat of a
presidential campaign is his sufficient
guarantee.
Out of His Own Mouth.
AS our distinguished candidate fer
governor has said "By their fruits ye
say. ''Out of his own mouth

day night three weeks ago, a speech was
the Philadelphia Press, which was never
delivered. Written rs it was it expresses
tho candidates, real convictions, and in
that speech, with 4 degree Of franknoss
that is commentlable, he in substance
denies tho necessity of reform in our state
government. lie is willing to let we'll
enough alone. lie is willing to permit the
Senate Librarian Delaney to persist in
his efforts to debauch the ballot in Luzerne
and Lackawanna counties. TO let a ma
chino dependent remain in tho Record
er's Office, an Office framed to pension off
politicians, at an annual cost to the people
of $50, 1000. To let the delinquent tax
Office remain in existence and tho iegisla-
tive rolls he filled with tho names OF men
who never earned an honest dollar from
the government.
The Republican candidate speaks of
semi condolences which forbid comment.
Docs he refer to tho semi condolences i'm
parted to him by Cooper when they at
tended church together at Media: Or to
tho scmi-confidences with NJ. S. Quay
concerning tho iniquitous Recorders
office? Unfortunate man, whose conf
dcEccs will not bear the clear light of day.
Our candidate needs no such screen. He
tells you what reforms hc will inauguratc
if you honor him with your sutfrages.
"Out of his own mouth will l condemn
him.
Everywhere that our standard-bearer
has gone, crowds such as I sec hero to-
night have flocked to SEQ him. His re-
generation of Philadelphia is sufficient
guarantee that when elected he will redeem
the state. Will you try General Beaver a
third time when hc has been twice found
wanting: With Pattison .s governor the
rogucs will fly from Capitol Hill as they
did from Philadelphia. He will meet all
our expectations, lift us from the slough
of bossism, and restore to its ancient
purity tho shield of our state with it's
grand old legend "Virtuc, Liberty and
Independence.
M1fs denBeI0 speech.
Loud and continued calls were then
made for Mr.. Henscl, who, upon being
introduced by the chairman, spoke as fol-
lows: confess to All unexpected feeling
of elation in finding myself in this situa
ton. Ifeel tonight IS one who comes
home, and, after long months of labor
in giving to the campaign in all parts of
the state my best efforts, feel that no
portion or people Of Pennsylvania can
hold so near and dear place to my heart
as the city and Democracy of Lancaster.
Yet as stand here, l am not unmindful
of a sense of shame that should be COM
PEELED here to oppose tho official dishOn-
esty of our old antagonists.
They make great mistake, who sup
pose that this contest is to he Won by the
corrupt devices used heretofore it is to
be achieved by the ballot, and not by
pecu!ation, by bossism, or by the fraudu-
lent issue Of tax receipts. The cam
paign has awakened the thoughts
of tho people. From all that
I have been able to observe, the citi-
zcns Of Pennsylvania arc considering with
great gravity and dignity the questions
before them. With this fact in view We
need have no fear of what the verdict will
be. Notwithstanding the efforts Of tho
bosses tho sober, second thoughts Of the
people have held them to the main issue
to the question whether the people shall
