Republicans Boiling Every


The Marietta Register, Republican
journal of considerable influence in Lam
caster county, ran up the Pattison flag
this week, and gives the following ad-
vice to its readers:
Don't forget that by indorsing Della
mater you indorse a worse boss" po-
litical methods and a candidate than
was the cause of the revolt of 1882. II
it were right to bolt in 1882, how much
more so is it to scratch Delamater's name
from the ticket in 1890? Have you
thought of thatP Have you any recol-
lection of the Riot bill bribers who were
pardoned in 1879, and who was one Of
the members of that Board which so
tlagrantly outraged justice and set at
large men who had well earned term
in the penitentiary? That man has
since, through machine politics, placed
on the Republican ticket his candidate
| for Governor. VIII you walk up to the
trough, through your 1ealty to party mis-
management, and vote for a representa-
tive Of such practices? You may be a
Republican, but one owes higher duty
than to party alone-that is, to the good
of all, and only then does he prove that
! the good quality of his citizenship and
party affiliations (the latter when righD
are Synonymous. Scratch Delamater's
name from the ticket.
The Shenango YaHey Mems, one of the
most influential Republican papers in
! Mercer county, carries at the head of its
editorial columns these reasons why Re-
publicans should oppose Senator Quay
Because he is boss, pure and simple,
without principle or distinguished ability,
| holding his present position through
manipulation rather than merit Be-
cause he organized and determined the
action of the last Republican State Con-
vention against the known will of the
people. Because he is Republican for
revenue only, without a commendable
quality as leader and without any ad
mirable quality as a Statesman. Be-
cause his continuation at the head of the
party will wreck the organization in the
first national storm that comes upon us.
The Doylestown Lnteligencer, published
daily and weekly, which is the only Re
publican paper of any note in Bucks
county, came out for Pattison on Satur-
day. In vigorous editorial, filled with
just indignations, it gives the Republican
candidate and his Boss a severe arraign-
ment. 1t states that this step would
have been taken before now, but it held
back in expectation that Delamater would
do something to refute the grave charges
made against him:
ellis actions" says Editor Passhall
compel us to arrive at the conclusion
that the man does not own himself, but
that he is a mere mask for the person
whose presence in the United States
Senate is disgrace and dishonor to the
Keystone State. Delamater is charged
with being such, and much more, and
does not deny it. Therefore, in the in,
terest of the fundamental principles up
on which our system of Government il
based, we call upon all, irrespective o
party, to assist us in defeating Quay
candidate. The election of Pattison will
not be Democratic victory, but
triumph of morality over political cor
ruptionists and notorious felons. If yol
are worthy of the honor of the right t.
claim American citizenship help us t.
elect Robert E. Pattison."
The seven Republican dailies of ALE
gheny county are samples of the feelin

yania. One is supporting Quay's cand
