Keep the Issue Straight.

But Chairmrn Quay and his candi.
date for Governor should not be per.
mitted to confuse the questions of this
campaign. In the elections for men,
bers of Congress ample opportunity
will be afforded every citizen to ex-
press his sentiments on questions Of
national policy, and in the election for
Governor on matters of State policy.
For sake of good government and
healthy political development State
and Federal affairs should be kept
widely apart, in accordance with the
| spirit of our institutions.
The citizen who shall vote for Mr..
Delamater because he favors the Nc.
Kinley bill, or for Pattison because he
is friend of Tariff Reform, must
have a very loose notion of the char.
acter of this Government. In the
Office of Governor Mr.. Delamater
could not help the tariff if he we're
ever so willing to do 20. 10 the office
of Governor Mr.. Pattison could not
hurt it. t.-NationaL Democrat.
Nol Mr. Pattison could not veto the
Mckinley bill if he was Governor, as
he did the soldiers burial bill. Yet,
that same old dead soldier, that now
may be buried at least decently, and
his memory not perish, because a Re.
publican Legislature passed the bill
over a Democratic Governors veto,
had something to do with Federal
affairs" Mr.. Delamater could not, it
is true, as Governor help the tariff bill
nor Pattison hinder it, because before
that either is Governor, the tariff bill
will be passed. But as voters TO. day
Mr.. Delamater and Mr.. Pattison are
helping by influence and words that
same tariff bill. Delamater's vote
helped to secure that same tariff bill,
with all the good it brings to this
great protectionist State. Mr.. Patti.
sons vote and influence did all it
could to prevent that result. Della
mater stands and has stood for the
vital interests of Penn'a. Mr.. Patti.
son has stood the very reverse. Mr..
Delamater's vote and influence and
wealth helped to make a Republican
Congress, Mr.. Pattison's vote went the
other way. Mr.. Delamater's influence
as Governor will go with the Republi.
can administration. Mr.. Pattison's
will go the reverse. One will aid q
Republican Legislature, the other will
hamper it, as he did before, and make
the taxpayer foot the bill, as he did
) before The one, Delamater, stand:
3 as State representative for protec
tion. The other, Patlison, stands q:
the represe ntative of Free Trade Dem
ocracy. The election of one means
victory for the protectionist party
, the election Of the other means shout
after that event, that Democracy hal
trumphed" If that should occur no
whimper would you hear of it being
! a Mugwump or Independent Repub
lican victory. Not much; with thei
usual gall the Democracy would hal
it as what "we 'uns did," and the In
dependent Mugwump could go to Sal
River with the rest of the gang. No
the war of the Rebellion proved tn,
very reverse of the above, aDd showed
/, that, "for the sake of good govern

be kept"-as much in harmony as pos
