Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-10-18

cheering, and greeted the crowd familiarly.
He said they were evidently oil men. They
whooped like they did 26 years ago. He
recognized MANY of them. He had begun
life in the oil country 26 years ago, dressing
tools on Oil Creek, and had learned to
know many of them since.
OIL MEN NOT FORGOTTEN.
The speaker referred to his ten years
service in the Legislature at Harrisburg, and
said no man could say.he had ever forgotten
the interests OF the oil producers. This was
greeted with loud cheering. The lone
Pittsburg and Philadelphia organs might
go on vilifying his personal character, but
no man could trutafully say he had ever
done wrong action in his political or busi-
ness life.
Emery declared that he never was salts
fed that Delamater was the choice of the
Republicans of the State for their candi-
dacy for Governor. He was surprised at
the feeling in Tioga county, where he had
been. There had been no speaking there,
but there was tremendous revolt against
the boss candidate. Referring to the affairs
OF the State as purely business matters, he
declared they should be administered as
such by men who would serve the people.
He declared if sthe Republicans did not
have to carry the fight into the campaign
o: 1892, and then they would be lost.
THE FREE PIPE LINE.
The speaker then proceeded with a his
tory of the futile efforts of the people of the
oil country TO get free pipe line bill passed
until Democratic House, elected with
Pattison in 1882, passed it, and the Demo-
Gratis in the Senate, with Lee John Stewart,
Watres and Meredith, on the Republican
side, passed it in the Senate for Governor
Pattison tp sign it. He next referred to
anti-discrimination being still dead letter
in the Constitution for the bosses and the
corporations. The failure to pass free
pipe bill and the continuance of the shame
less dissemination of the railroads had en-
grated the Standard Oil Company firmly
on the country for the oppression of the
producers.
The lost revenue bill got touch and then
the BilliDgsley billiand Delamater's part in
defeating it. Grange bill No. 10, he said,
had lain in committee until Brown, of
York, moved ior its release. He was de-
feated and the bill stayed in committee.
Delamater, who was Chairman Of that COM
mittee, had been telling the farmers he had
voted In committee to report that bill.
DELAMATER ARRAIGNED.
Browns motion had received 25 votes in
the Senate. If Deiamater favored the bill
in committee, he wondered why in heavens
name he hadn't given the one vote necessary
In tie Senate to bring the bill out" MIR.
Delamater, Emery said, was chargeable
with the defeat OF that bill. Mr.. Emery de-
clared himself Republican. He had cast
his first vote for Lincoln and had not broken
his record by voting for a Democrat, but
would break it this year and vote for Robert
L. Pattison. This ELECTED tremendous
cheering.
The speaker then took up his charges
against Delamater He read the report of
the detective read at Bradford, supplying
the name of Charles Laufear, of Townville.
He then said he would receive the statement
of Y. "You have heard of X Y. T." This
was again the cause for cheering and
laughter. He said Y. was Hon. L. E.
Beach, of Meadville: Delamater had
wanted to know who Y. was. He (Dela-
mater), could not come out of his house in
Meadville and go up town without passing
Mr.. Beach's Office, and he had known all
along who Y. was.
MONEY PAID TO K.
X, Emery said, was ex-senator Homer J.
Humes, OF Crawford county, and z was Mr..
Odell. Lest his audience should Judge
Mr.. Humes harshly. he would state that
Humes had been a candidate for reelection
on the Democratic ticket and was defeated.
He had learned of Delamater's corrupt
methods. Beach had offered him the $780,
which was the amount of his campaign ex-
penses, to keep him from exposing Delamater.
He had said it was Delamater's money and
he begged Humes not to smirch his char
acter.
The afidavits produced at Bradford were
reproduced and thrown on to the screen at
the back OF the stage. and the statements of
X, I and 2, or Humes, Beach and O'Dell,
were read. This part Of the speech was fire.
quently applauded. Emery promises fur
ther disclosures and new material for his
meeting in Pittsburg tomorrow nigh
