rhe Revol. Against quay.

Quayism. Fifty-sight OF them sent
bombshell into the branded criminals
camp when they appended their names t.
the address of the Lincoln Indepsnden
Republican Committee, urging the elec
ton Of Pattison and the defeat Of Della
mater. Their names are those OF mer
known and respected throughout the
State. Among them are ''sueh conspicu
Gus manufacturers as the burnhams AND
their associates of the Baldwin Locomo
tive Works; as Edward 7. Steel, the large
producer of woolens and worsteds; Ms
John I. Bailey, the large producer OF
cordage; as George 0. Blsbon, the large
producer Of oil.ooth; as George d.
Bromley, the large producer Of carpets"
we quote thus far from the PhilAdei-
phia Tins and would add-ot William
Brooke, FOR a long time President OF the
Philadelphia Commercial Exchange; OF
Francis B. Reeves, who was the
real originator OF the movement
which led TO the formation OF the Oiti-
zens' Committee OF One Hundred; OF
Stuart Wood, OF the frm OF Il. d. Wood
b Sons, cotton and iron manufacturers ;
Of Richard McMurtrie, probably the
most distinguished real estate lawyer in
philadelphia; Of John B. Garrett, Vice.
president Of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company; of Josl J. Bailey, a leading
dry goods jobber; of Edward H. Coates,
dealer in woolens; OF J. o. Strawbridge,
head of the firm OF Strawbridge i
0lothier; of Charles Platt, prominent in
insurance circles; OF Nathaniel q Jan
ney, weltknown real estate man; OF
W. N. McVickefs, D. D., the distin-
Ruished divine; of David Scull, Oven
J. Wiater, Enoeh and Edward Lewis.
Benjamin Il. Shoemaker, Henry s. Pal-
coast William Lungstrsth; in fact there
is NOT name on the whole list bat
what would be recognized in any
community as one that would add
strength to the most irreproaehahle
ticket. These men are not "kickersn
who have been soursd BY political dis
appointments. They are sincsre and
earnest patriots actuated by sense OF
self respect and OF public duty. They
say in their address 10 the voters Of
Pennsylvania: ''Some OF us who sign
this paper are, and have been since the
birth OF the party, earnest Repub licans
who have given its policy and plans our
constant approval and support; others
Of us, while heartily working with the
party in past years, have more recently
become dissatisfied with what we, as in.
dividuais, have regarded as departure
from its primitive faith. But all Of us,
without exception, are of Republican
affiliations We reverence the party ira
ditions and fully recognize the great
national work which the party has &C
oomplished in the past" And, With this
statement of their position, they 20 on
to say I'VE earnestly ask our fellow
citizens to cast Their votes, in the ap.
preaching election for Governor, in favor
Of Robert u. Pattison, the Democratic
candidate for that office. Our reasons
for this suggss ion we will make bo.h
brief and emphatic, believing that the
logic which supports them will bring
conviction to this sobsr, unbiased thought
of the community" Aud the reasons
which they give ahectnot only D3l mater
rs Qaay's man, but Delamater as nin-
self unworthy or public confidence.
Are the men VINO saw the Republican
party hegotten, ask these remonB:rauts,
lead, that they shout1 accept such
lame and impotsnt, sucn d.. graceful
conclusion to great party history as
Qaayism "rhe election Of Mr.. Della
mater" they show, ''means the public
Endorsement Of Mr.. Quay and the in
Crease OF his prestige, not only in the
state but in the country; the encourage.
ment Of his methods, the elevation to
greater and greater power in his mold.
The election Of Mr. Pattison will ssc.
ondaftlg give q tbs state tried, able

Will DO re5axs, f.lt not o1ly ID Ponn-
ByiSania bns throughout the land, TO
msu who has corrupted and dish9norei
. graas party aud great state; to man
who has given his strength for tins tti-
umph o. political methods which are not
only false and yicious in themselves, but
which, II unchecked, will accomplish the
ultimate ruin Ct free institutions, as in
past ages tney have accomplished the
downfall OF empires"
