Down With Nimi

~fN Ex-Stat0 senator Lewis Emery, y Ic-
Abublican leader Of the northwest which
'}Dartlcularly commands the confidence
acf the people interested in it's peculiar
I Industry, has made speech at Brad
shrd In denunciation Of the nomination
s&f DelAmater, and given very good
Saonsous why he should not he nominated.
*17e charges him with infidelity to the
Sinterests Of the people and even with
fraudulent practice In the discharge OF
shb functions as senator. The attack IL OF
81 character that shows that the assault
viii be continued upon Delamater both
\ as candidate for the Republican nomina-
.tlon and % the Republican nominee.
4 Il shows that the sword has been drawn
snRsinst him and the scabbard thrown
away. It comes at time when Della
mater IL already supposed to have &C.
eured majority Of the Republican del
ogates through the active aid OF State
chairman Andrews and the reputed
help Of Senator Quay. That leader
went away to Florida declaring that
kft was O fair field for oil the
candidates, but when he returns he
0nds that his agents have been help
Ing one Of them with very dirty prac-
tioes and that he is 30 far committed
10 public estimation to Delamater that
"a he should draw back from him, the
verdict would be that he was afraid; and
just here comes this open assault from
The oil regions which Is the old-time
Nesting ground of the Independent Re-
publicans and If Quay drops Delama-
ISer after this attack 1t will be retreat
sonder fire that circumstances may
sSasily make rout, and II he does not
sstseat, 1t does not take great prophetic
spower to predict disastrous defeat.
The Republican machine In Pennsyl-
xania IL in better shape TO be smashed
1han II has been for many long year.
sghere are plenty of disappointed men
steady to jump at the throat of the leader,
when they see q fair chance to down
him. There would be an elegant oppor-
tunlty with 80 unwholesome candi-
date as Delamatcr, who has not n
Eoingular popular attribute, and whose
whole strength lies In his con-
/ nsction with these whom the people
know as their foes. This connection can
~ readily shown. And there appear
~ be facts to be urged against him,
Showing him to be ready tool Of dis
7Deputable people and schemes. There
III no sweet SAVIOR about him TO COM
8 &jnend him TO the voter. Mr.. Quay and
! Ne party machine will have to elect
him and they will not be able to stand
e. very strong guerilla fire, much less
iii they be likely to safely endure the
Epnrty division that Delamaters candi-
lAcy and Quay's mastery threatens.
The two now seem To be fairly Joined
<1ogether to sink or swim. Tho fight Is
~ much against Quay as Delamater.
i 3SUolamater's odiOusness comes in to sup
zplement Quay's, and the two together
Vlll make lively stencil. Quay will
of back out from the association, un-
betunate as he may now esteem it. He
<lhAs not been noted for retreating I;
Especially when he finds retreat to
% too late. He will have to stay
sop the wave, even though it be
but to be cast upon the rocks. 1t does
not do for political leader to go to Flor
3da, fishing, leaving turbulent waters
behind him and poor pilots In his rot
sten craft. Or perhaps ii would be fairer
~ say that 1t is not possible in these
Shines for thoroughly corrupt politician
undertake to maintain his
bold upon politics even In Pennsylvania.
