Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1890-07-09

which the convention was he'd, and vel
the next day like sheep in the shamb'es
: the delegates turned in for Wallace.
He coajured up the the three million sur
plus in the State Treasury, that he said
( the Republicans had on deposit among pet
i banks in the state, aud declared that Patti
son had been instrumental in putting the
fund wh-re it brings interest to the Com
nonwealth, but he entirely ignored the
many hundred times greater fact, that by
I, successive Republicca an rule in the state the
! forty million dollars debt that the Demo-
Gratis lett behind them when they were vot-
ed out of .fiice has been REDUCED by repab-
lican rule. and that is the reason il is now pos
bic to have three millions surplus in the
State Treasury.
I He said Pattison : in favor of an equali-
zttion of taxation. but he forgot to men
tion that 4 Governor does not make laws,
that i; is the Legislature thai enacts laws,
and while on that point he might have, but
I he didn't tell that when it was suggested to
Republican Governor Hoyt 70 callan extra
/ session OF the Legislature for reform pur-
poses, Hoyt said, ssno." ssIf 1 call you in
extra session, you'll stay here year." but
/ ParrisoR called tho Legislature and he
cou'd'n, get it TO work as he wanted it to
work, and he could not get it TO go home.
( That's how Paitison runs the Legislature.
Possibly the Legislature was AFRAID OF Pat
tison n. a boss. FrSm Gsrman's speech
one Inferred that, Pattison is 10 be both
Governor and Legislature, which inference
ing es like boss ridden.
He paid Il number of left handed compli-
ments TO Deiamaier and according TO his
version he Is dreadfuIly boss ridden.
He didn't have copies OF the state consti-
tuition Of S73 10 hand around the slender
audience that was listening to him, but ac-
according 10 his statement no laws have
been passed By the Legislature to yitalize
that document, and he entirely failed TO
tell why he did not offer bull when he was
in the Legislature TO viialIze the constitu-
ton. After he closed the talk on the con-
stitutiOn he agIIn glOrii-d Pattison and
begged for his election and Cooperative
, Legislature, which in hI, estimation, as the
Snowman says, would prove to be the great
est state government on the earth, but
somehow he followed Mr. sSorth and for
got TO say word about Ch4uncev Black,
which seemingly studied neglect was sslike
| PLAYING Hamlet with Hamlet LEFT out" for
il is fact that Mr., Black had more votes
poled for him than Mr.. PIt;isou, wh-a
Pattison was elected Governor What is
the matter with Black or what WAS the matter
with North and Garmaa at the ratific auon
m Getting.
The next speaker was honorabIo elling-
ton Smith, ex county superintendent. Mr..
Smith must have felt good deaf like oil
aud water mixed, when in company with
such high kicker a q armlu. but he waltz
ed in, and declared his occupation to be
that of farmer whose business Is serious
[ ly depressed ani needs relief through leg
islatiOn- lie didn't say 5ut II Sscm=I clear
! TO HIM from bis speech, that PattIson is the
Moses 10 lead the farmers OUT Uf the wild
erness OF depression. He missed the focal
point that the great depression and depre-
citation in prices Of farms aud farm prod ucts
to the fact, that grain, hogs, sheep, cattle,
&C, raised On the cheap lands OF the west
are being dumped INTO the markets .of the
! Atlantic States at freight rates not higher
or little higher than Pennsylvania farmers
are charged for soadins their products 20
the same markets. Having missed the 70.
cal point OF that part OF his speech, which
Is the milk in the cocoazut OF the farm de-
Tssession, OF course he must needs miss the
other great fact that Governor Pat;ison can
not if elected have a thing TO do with
changing or controlling freight rates from
the Western country 10 Atlantic coast
markets.
II was a matter of deep concern TO him
that there are getting to be TO many million
aires in this country. He had not all the
returns at naud from Scranton, he not
know that millionaire, and Cleveland
boss Scott, and henchman Allen had
quietly by some potential influence
within twelve hours of the meeting lof the
convention, turned 1t completely over TO
! PAttison, and SO dominated it, that when
1 our rloil utIl JACOBS SET
onded the nomination of Wallace the Scott
hsnchmen hooted him of wnen he declared
that Wallace could poll larger vote in the
state than any nominee that the convention
could put in the field. According to his view
the miliOnaires will destroy the country and
to illustrate their destructive qualities no in
( troduced Roman history. He said Rome had
( three classes, the Patriciau, the Plebian
and the Slave The Patricians got all the
money and therefore Rome lost her liberties.
But Mr. smith did not tell that he had not
prysd deep enough into history to induce
him TO tell the fact thatI was not the mon
eyed men of Rome that destroyed her lib
critics, but that it was the military men.
" hy did not Mr. = NTH tell his hearers that
il was the warrior that destroyed the Hber-
ty OF both Patricisn and riebian.
He talked of unequal taxation: He said
valuation in the Commonwealth are about
equal, but by unequal taxation real estate
pays about thirty millions OF tax, while cor
porations pay only about ten millions tax.
He denounced Delamatsr for having
promised someone, he didn't ..say who to
support certain bills in the Legislature, but
after the promise voted against the bills.
But he forgot to ealighten his hearers as to
the particular character of the bills, and ev
cry body went away in blissful ignorance of
talked about. Perhaps if they would call
