2.-That the issue in the present campaign
is between that form of politics which uses
the public treasury as corruption fund, and
the revenue laws to advance personal political
shield favored political criminals from merited
punishment; the public offices to be formed for
selfish purposes; the halls of legislation to pro-
mote measures inimical to the public welfare,
typified in the person of Matthew Stanley Quay,
now United States Senator from this Common
wealth and that system which believes public
offices to be public trust; the public officer,
the servant, not the master, of the people; that
the constitution is for the government of the
corporations as well as for private persons;
faithfully applied to the payment of the actual
expenses of the State personfed in that illus
trious exponent of honest government, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, Robert
Emory Pattison.
