Delamater's Self vindication.

During the past week Delamater pub
Ecly entered a denial of the charges pre-
ferred by Ex-senator Emery, whose
accusations of bribery, perjury and
forgery against Quay's candidate are
well known to our readers and their rep
etition is unnecessary. At Republican
meeting in Chambersburg on Thursday
Delamater made speech and at its con-
clusion was asked by one of the audi
ence why he failed to deny the serious
charges made against him. Here is his
answer in condensed form:
81 take this occasion to enter my most
positive, emphatic and unequivocal denl-
al of each and every charge preferred by
Senator Emery | enter this denial to
all charges, by whomsoever preferred,
which assail my honor as man and my
integrity as a Citizen
With this sweeping denial Delamater
would have the people of Pennsylvania
declare him innocent of charges in which
names, dates and places were specifically
mentioned. Newspapers friendly to him
treat this denial as satisfactory and con-
elusive. To impartial hearers of the case,
however, the denial lacks force. 1t is
true that as between Emery and Della
mater there is now question of personal
yeracity. There is assertion without
proof; and there is fiat denial. 1t is
Emery's duty to bring forward such
proofs and particulars as he can of the
disreputable transactions which he ascri-
bes to Delamater. Those proofs are
Forthcoming, according to statement
made by Emery on Saturday, and they
will include facts las undeniable az
Delamater's Chambersburg denial wal
broad and inexplicit. The day in which
INSCRIPTIONS politicians could SWEEP
away with wave of the hand stains o
corruption with which they are tainted
has gone by with me and should be will
every thinking and well-meaning citizel
in the State"
Whether these proofs will be present
ed or not, there are few who will no
acknowledge that Delamater has no
made grave mistake in not making hi
denial sooner. For nearly five month
he has refused to plead to charges mad
by man of character and position. Fo
nearly five months he has kept silen
though accused by responsible accuse
of corruption, bribery, tampering witt
public records, forgery and perjury
During that time the natural if uncharit
able explanation of his neglect was tha
he could not deny the charges, and nov
his denial comes SO late that it seem
forced from him by the pressure of hi
political friends to counteract the baC
| effects Of his delay.
What Delamater should have don
promptly, what he would have done
he had been as jealous of his good nam
as candidate for Governor or any othe
honorable man should be, was to pros,
cute Emery for libel as soon after April
as the machinery of the Courts could b
started. Instead of that he has reste
quietly under infamous charges, and I
amount of deferred indignation and pr
J testation about his honor as a man an
his virtue as citizen can alter the ia
that he has shown remarkably bad jud
ment in not calling his accuser to accoul
in the Courts long before this. He h;
not behaved as man sensitive about h
, reputation.

SENATOR DELAMATER continues to
express great confidence of his cleo
tion to the Office of Governor of Penn
sylvania, in spite Of the widespread
manifestations of popular repugnance
to his candidacy. In this Mr.. Della
mater betrays a child-lik trust in the
power of machine politics and Boss
Rule. He will be likely to have a rude
awakening from his dream mex
November.

WHEN q Democrat demands tariff
legislation which gives the American
farmers a more extended market
abroad for their products, the mar,
row-minded protection bigot shrieks
himself hoarse crying ''free trade,
but when James G. Blaine advocates
the common-sense principle it is called
reciprocity" Strange that such a
difference there should be 'twixt twee-
dledum and tweedledee.

The tariff tax on spectacles remains
at its maximum, as fixed by the Nc

The New York Tribune condemns
the German tariff as tyrannous sys-
tenn of taxation, while daily lauding
the tariff of this country as an insti.
tuition of the highest wisdom and
benevolence. It is curious that the
same system should work so different.
ly in different countries. The official
facts show, however, that the German
tariff is mild and merciful in its exac
tions in comparison with the tariff o.
the United States.

IT is in the highest degree credit
able to the Southern Representatives
that their protests against the grow
ing C@sarism of the dominant party
in Congress have been uniformity in
moderate and patriotic tones. In fact,
the utterances of majority of the
Southern press in what is to Southern
people a crisis in their affairs can be
favorably contrasted with the reckless
and even riotous partisanship of some
Northern journals.

The latest in Pennsylvania politics
is the Republican Labor League,
which is the outcome of a movement
started by Quay about month ago.
The League is nothing more than a
myth, with fgure-heads like A. A. Carl.

dent and Secretary. When those two
men were officials OF the X. of L. they
tried to throw the power of that order

taken as a criterion of the course it

The effect of the Force bill would
be to destroy Ballot Reform in every
State in which the Australian system
has been introduced and to prevent
its success in every State that is pre-
pairing to adopt it. Is this one Of the
reasons why the Force bill is SO strong

Ballot Reform?

Mr.. Struble, of Iowa, denounces
Speaker Reed as tyrant, and declares
that thirty other Republican members of
the House feel just as badly as he does
about Reed, but haven't the courage to
speak out. The Tennessee Republican
Convention throws cold water on the
Federal Election bill. California bust
ness men, without respect to party lines,
and the North Dakota Republicans in
convention assembled pronounce for Mr..
Blaine's reciprocity idea. This is par
tial record of one weeks Developments
in the Republican party. The trend of
things would seem to be in the di-
rection of more independence and less
harmony.
Postmaster General Wanamaker is
profoundly and no doubt prayerfully
wrestling with the problem as to which
will be the most aesthetic and appropriate
tint for the new postal cards by the issue
of which he means to signalize his ad-
ministration of the Post Office Depart
ment. Mr.. Wanamakers mind is divid-
ed between pale blue, pale gray and
yellow, and he really can't decide which
is preferable. Whatever his decision
may finally be, the public can rest as.
sured that the cards will prove things Of
beauty. Nevertheless, they will sell at
the usual price of one cent.
~
However it may be in other sections Of
the Republican party, there is no doub
that the Maine contingent is sharply
divided into Blaine and Reed factions
Mr.. Reeds boom, though young, is re
markably vigorous. Mr.. Blaine's is olde
but it has a record, and this is an ad
vantage, and in the division of force
Mr.. Blaine unquestionably is the fore
, most of the two. In the House two o
/ the Maine men are outspoken in thei
anti-Reed sentiments, and both of tn
Senators are believed to be firm adherent
of the Secretary of State.
~
Speaker Reed should congratulate him
self that he is not compelled to run fo
5 Congress in all the towns that fail to sc
, cure public buildings. 1t seems there
but one man from Maine after all, an
that the first letter of his name has n
5 tail to it. r.

WE ARE DISTRIBUTORS

On such scale rs affords undoubted ad.
yantages to consumers on the one hand,
and 70 the largest producers on the
other.
II ia, of course, impossible for the
manufacturer aud the consumer to come
into contact and deal directly with one
another. In times gone by, three BETS Of
merchants stood between tho buyer
and the maker. First-the importer or
commission merchant, who sold to sec.
ond-the joober or Wholesale dealer,
who in turn, sold TO third--the retail
merchant. This system of business
caused three profits to bs placed on the
goods before they reached the consumer.
Now all this is changed. Ore profit tHksa
the place OF three, and consumer and
maker come as nearly together As eso-
nomic laws permit and meet al our conn
tiers. This great mart, with its System
perfected by years of experience, trial
and growth, is not only necessity and q
convenience to the people, but it is un-
doubtedly q money-saving organization
on an extensive scale. In no other way
can the vast and varied products OF the
times be properly and &c nomically dig
tributad, except through such an agency.
The makers Themselves, each producing
but oue class of goods, and without any
organization for distribution, would be
utterly unable TO distribute their prod.
nets, except at great diaady antsge, ana OF

compelled to 20 to hundred sellers in

greater disadvantage, both as to labor
and in the payment of the higher prices.

of leg Ultimate demand, q necessity OF the
times, aud striking instance of the

possible to distribute tbs products OF

well to The millions waiting TO receive

ucts at prices mode inevitably moderate
by the competition Of the makers at cur
counters, and the cost OF handling the
goods from producer to consumer ia
scarcely appreciate to each buyer, so
vast is the volume Of busneas transacted
by this great economical organization.
