The PHILADELPHIA Republican

The Philadelphia Republicans
are not perfectly happy. The
Democratic mayor has fine show
ing for reelection, and it is con-
coded that if the Democrats carry
the municipal election they will
discourage and probably defeat
their opponents in the fall cleo
tons. The Democrats are full Of
confidence, but the struggle will
be sharp and close. There is an
old saying to the effect "As goes
Philadelphia so goes Pennsylva-

large proportion Of these applications
are groundless, but these applicants are
assured that II they will vote to keep the
Republican party in power their chances
will be greatly enhanced. In other cases
the more influential among these sppli-
esn,s, especially If the applicant has
Democratic proclivities, be is told that
his chances for obtaining a pension are
SO good that there will be no risk 10 ma
king him an advance for attorneys fees,
etc. The man will be sized up and an
amount handed to him equal to his i'm
portance. As Mr.. Dudley is handling
the funds OF the Government it does not
make much difference to him or to the
party he represents II the advance 10
instances should be rather large. With
some Sic. 100000 Of pension funds TO
back him, MIR. Dudley can make quite
canvass. How this thing is
