OPINIONS OF DELAmArER.

Gnnauelpnlh lnneb.
OF course Delamater will have many
thorns In his gubernatorial path the woods
are full OF party soreheads who will incline
to eulk in their tents; there are many fac
tlonal sores which will tester us the battle
continues; there ara profound convictions
against machine rule which will be felt In
msny sections and there is general unrest
In agricultural and other industrial circles
but II Qiey's leadership gives birth to such
obstacles, 1t also commands tho means and
the methods by which they are usually
overo me.
MONEY, MONOPOLY AND BossIsM.
New York Times
Delamater Is the candidate OF the eorpo-
rations and the money power, aud is nomi-
mated by the "boss" and not by the people.
No secret is made of II; the thing Ia openly
and boldly done. and the evident calcula-
tion is that tho power of money, monopoly,
and "bossism" will be triumphant.
BRIBERY, FORGERY AND PERJURY.
Now York World.
He Delamaterl Is man who has been
publicly, distinctly and solemnly CHARGED
by responsible citizen OF Pennsylvania,
ex-senator Emery, with specific acts OF
bribery, forgery and perjury, ard, though
challenged by his accuser and urged by the
press OF his own party to meet and refute
these accusations. ne has not only not called
has made no denial and shown no shame.
Silence In such case is confession.
WHERE THE OPPOSITION CAME FROM.
Philadelphia Press.
That senator Delamater will make an able
and efficient governor no one questions.
The opposition to him was based almost
wholly on doubts OF his ability to rally the
full Republican vote.
PUPIL OF THE Boss.
Philadelphia Record.
In the nomination OF Hon. George W..
Delamater rs tho Republican candidate for
governor Senator Quay has obstinately
pushed through his programme to the end /,
in spite OF warning from friends and
threats from enemies. 1t Is as the
candidate OF Chairman Quay. and as a
pupil in ais school OF politics. that Mr.. Del
amater Will be elected or defeated at the
| ballot box.
STANDARD OIL cHATTEL.
New York Herald.
The Pennsylvania Republicans have nom
| mated Mr.. Delnmater for governor. The
nomination seems to have been q foreRone
conclusion, and Senator Quay should be
complimented for having permitted the
convention to assemble and record his will.
| Mr. Delamater is respectable candidate,
although tha principal argument In his
| favor is his relation to the Standard OIL
Company. II the Republican party
in Pennsylvania is content TO be chattel
| OF the company we do not know that II
concerns any one outside of the state.
TIRED OF BossIsM. 5.5M
Baltimore Sun.
He [Quayl is not the man, they contend,
| to represent Pennsylvania at Washington
and dictate nominations at Harrisburg.
The oblectors are not all Mugwumps. Some
OF the rankest prOtectionists ate In arms
against the boss, and will "knife" his NOM
inee. So great Is the detection that some
Democrats believe they have chance 10
elect Democratic governor. Mr.. Della
| matters nomination Is expected to be fol-
| lowed by that OF Mr. Pattison.
HASTINGS THE oHoIoR.
| Philadelphia Ledger.
We Wish the Ledger could say that Mr..
| Quay's judgment in selecting a candidate
| for governor from among the aspirants In
| this canvass was equal to his skill and
ability in controlling the event. General
Hastings, we think, would have b. on a
| more advisable nominee-certainly In the
party point OF view. II the selection had
been made by popular vote OF the Rspub-
lican party, instead OF having been brought
about by the Influence OF the Organization,
| we think, be would have been the nominee.
| This is not to be construed Into opposition
TO Mr.. DelRmater, for the Ledger entertains
no such TO ling. We are now to see what
the Democrats will do. They have the
advantage OF "hind. sight," 30 far as their
opponents are concerned.
