Mr.. PATTisoN SAYS "Yes.n
His Letter of Acceptance to the Pennsyl
vanIa State Committee.


PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 23-Mr. Pattison
has sent to the committee appointed by
the Democratic state convention 20 inform
him OF his nomination for the governor
ship the following letter of acceptance:
To Hons W. II. Sowden, Charles Brodhead
Pearson Church, p. Foley and George Ross.
dEsrIsHEN-I have received your letter con
taining the formal notice Of my nomination by
tho Democratic state convention for tbe osiloe Of
Governor. The custom which c.,s fox such in
tercnange OF correspondence has lost much OF It's
significance by reason of the changed conditions
aud usagee surrounding conventions Of political
parties at the present day. Having appeared in
person before the body whose committee you
are and accepted the nomination, I took occa-
sion 20 point out what my view was Of the aii
parvading issue IN the campaign then inaugural
ed An extended letter OF acceptance now
would therefore be little more than a reiteration
Of what was then expressed. II is questionable
whether anything can now be said that would
give greatcr clearness and emphasis 70 the
thought dominating the contest between the two
parties In Pennsylvania.
The platforms II the respective conventions
the controlling influences by which their dellber-
ations and action were shaped and tho exhans-
tive discussion Of the proceedings and the cAndi-
dates by the newspaper press Of the entlre coun.
try unmlstakably show that not only IS the issue
Of the campaign irrevocahly made up but thai
il ia clearly apprehended and win DO directly
met and decided by the people at the polls
In this connection / may venture the sugges
tion THAI we should NOT permit tho contest to be-
diverted from its legitimate and true lines An
attempts 20 import issues from tho field OF ma
tionul politics win be but effort by those now
on trial In Pennsylvania to distract public atten
tion from themselves and their records 70 more
remote subjects Of party controversy. Self gov
ernmont-home rule--is now on trial n this com
monuealth. On one side stand the people with
their constitution and general interests; on the
other stands a selfsh and arrogant political
leadership, self constituted and defiant and re-
solved 70 use the Offices and treasure OF the
people as personal spoil. Between these must
the voters choose,

cpies and candidates. represent the right aud

SURPRISED

At the way our summer trade
keeps up. Other credit houses
have been plodding along for
some time, while with US our
sales and delivery men have
had all they could handle.
The reason for this is the SUI
perb and complete lines of
goods we carry and the ex-
tremely low prices at which we
are selling them. 1t is true,
we are not making much
money, but then we are cut
ting down our stock and we
will have no shop-worn goods
next season; and then again,
we keep our hands employed,
and every tradesman knows
what it is to be fully employed
during the dull season. Our
new fall and winter stocks will
soon be coming in, and we
need all the room we can get.
This means that you can buy
our goods on credit at a price
less than you will be asked to

Mr. Powderly's letter heretofore publish
ed. Letters purporting to be from GER

sometimes published, and it afterward
transpires that the alleged authors did not
write them, and sometimes that they were
not written at all While there Is no rea-

me to discuss or reply to such communi-
cation before have positively received it.
Therefore have nothing TO say about It.
If Mr.. Powderly writes me a letter on that

answered. IL ought not to be necessary
for anybody to inquire how the Brother

Engineers Winding Their Own Business.
Mr. Arthur spoke with great delibera.
tion and apparently endeavored to conceal
any feeling one way or another he may
have in regard to the strike and the course
Of the engineers In regard thereto. Con.
tinuing, Mr.. Arthur said: "You may state,
and know OF no way Of putting it stronger,
that we are minding our own business aud
will continue TO do SO. notice Powderly
complains that engineers are acting as
firemen and taking the place OF strikers.
No word or notice Of this has been received
BY me. In fact, our position in the whole
trouble is thoroughly independent know
nothing more OF the strike than what has
been published in the papers. / was not
consulted or advised of the affair in the
beginning and therefore have no interest
in it, only so far as am in sympathy with
all classes who are trying TO better their
condition. The engineers will strike only
on their own account The order will take
no official eognizance Of the Central trouble,
unless complaints come from our members
Thus far not a single complaint has been
made by the engineers, so we have not
taken any step in the matter.

How like home! Last year the
people of Texas wanted a railroad COM

Carolina. They procured the passage
of q bill through the House by q large
majority and with no difficulty, so did
we. They thought their Senate would
do the same thing-so did we. Their
Senate was gobbled up and swallowed
by the railroads SO was ours. The
people of Texas denounced their Sen
ate for betraying their interests-so
did ours. The people Of Texas are
now saying that on this question they
intend to take no risks in selecting
their next legislature-so do ours.
They say they intend to know the men
and hoU they stand on this question.

SUBSTITUTE NORTH CAROLINA
FOR TEXAS.

THE Southern Mercury, in a we'll
l. timed article on the duty of the
people to make no mistake hereafter
in the men whom they elect to the
legislature, says:
GAS to issues, manifestly the regula-
ton of the railroad freight rates In
Texas, through the agency of an in
telligent commission, is the paramount
one. It o~vershadows every other.
Since the adoption of the constitution
of 1876, which itself demanded regu-
lation, there has been a continual
struggle on the part of large element
of the people to enact a commission
law similar to that now in force in
Georgia. And there has been no
time within the past eight years when
a majority of the people were not in
favor of such a measure, but it has
been defeated on every occasion in the
legislature by the railroad influence,
exerted through the lobby. In the
meantime, public sentiment had grown
so strongly in favor of a commission
that the railroads were afraid of the
consequence of a defeat of the com
mission bill in the last legislature, and
determined to try the experiment
which was so successful in the proh1-
bition agitation, and let the move for
regulation spend its force on a com.
mission amendment to the constitu.
ton, the opponents of regulation hop.
ing to defeat the amendment at the
polls, by confusing and misleading the
farmers. Evidences are not wanting,
however, at this early date, that got
only the farmers, who have to foot all
of the bills, but the merchants and
business men who are tired of a rail
road management that smiles on cities
and towns outside of the State in which
they are interested, and frowns down
every effort to place the Commercial
Interests of Texas on an equal footing
with other States, have made up theii
minds to adopt the commission amend
ment, and give the eccentricities Of
