The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1890-10-29


Secretary Of State James g. Blaine, who is
now in Ohio stumping for Major Mckinley,
submitted TO the following interview on
Pennsylvania politics In Pittsburg Friday
evening
Il would have considered it pleasure TO
have started day sooner and made speech
in Pittsburgh tonight had known in ad-
vance that you wanted me to. But is en-
tirely unnecessary though If the people Of
Pittsburgh would enjoy listening to me
would none the less enjoy speaking to them.
Why do I think il unnecessary for me to
speak here Because there is certainly nc
cause for thinking that Pennsylvania will
90 Democratic. The idea is absurd.
PENNsYLvANIA's DUTY.
"Why, tIiis State Of all others should at
this time give such Republican ma, ority
as it never gave before. They tell me you
were never so prosperous as you are now,
and certainly the Republicans are not going
70 pull their house down upon themselves.
Why" said Mr. Blaine, with smile, ''it
would be like the surrender Of the Old Guard
upon the field Of battle.
81 have read the charges against Mr.. Della
mater, and would be very much surprised il
they should persuade single Republican to
vote against him. Yes, know Mr.. Emery,
and have heard from various sources who
Mr.. Delamater is. In view of all the infor
nation and knowledge have land it is not
partial and incomplete) ] say unhesitatingly
that the Republican candidate for Governor
ought to poll the full party vote. They tell
me Mr. Psttison represents Mr.. Cleveland.
That in itself surely ought TO be enough for
any protectionist. think, gentleman" and
Mr.. Blaine became more animated, when
the vote is polled you viii be surprised at
Mr.. Delamater's majority.
HIS FAITH IN OUR PEOPLE.
II have great faith in the strong common
sense Of the plain people Of Pennsylvania,
and have equal confidence in the business
foresight OF your manufacturers, merchants,
aud professional men.
What will Allegheny do for Delamater p
exclaimed Mr. Blaine, and then quickly an
swering himself why, Allegheny county,
with It's immense manufactures, workshops
and founderies, its thousands Of workingmen
dependent upon your vast industrial insiitu-
tons, its millions OF invested capital tied up
in the manufacture of iron and steel, and
the innumerable business and commercial
enterprises that cannot prosper without
them, the whole founded upon and guarded
by our protective sysiem-Allegheny county
should give Delamaler, who represents the
republican party, at least 1900 or 10000
msjori,y. And the people Of Allegheny
county will do this If they but pause long
enough to consider their own interests
The subject seemed 70 warn Mr.. Blaine,
and he said more in'tbe same line. Then
reserting TO the original topic:
Il cannot give you positive promise to
be here, but as soon as | arrive at my sons
in Chicagoon Monday will let you know"
II was suggested that If he would come
his presence and his voice would be worth
10000 votes TO the Republican ticket.
My dear sir, would make you twenty
speeches If thought II would make you
10000 votes. Yes, would make you many
more. There is little would not do for the
Republican party andto further its interests.
My views are weil known on this subject,
and they grow stronger with the passing
years instead Of weaker. Depend upon II,
II it is possible for me to speak in your city
the coming week will do So"
