We are a fast people, altogether too fast for

into their tightlittle isle some of our institutions

American institution to be transplanted to Eng

The Democrats of Pennsylvania have nomi-
mated a State ticket and formulated platform
that should command the enthusiastic support
of every member Of the party who believes in
the new issues and the new political methods
by the advocacy aud adoption of which the fu-
ture of the Democracy can alone be assured
PATTIsoN and BLACK are young men of inteli-
gence integrity, and courage, and they repre-
sent ideas and policies that more and more
commend themselves to enlightened Americans,
By putting such men forward for offices of trust
and honor the Democrats of Pennsylvania show
that they are in truth and sympathy with that
large and steadily-growing class Of citizens who
demand that political parties shall be something
more than mere place-getting machines. The
uneuuiyocal declaration of the platform for
tariff reform will win support from those who
are interested in manufacturing industries
which have been almost destroyed by the per
sistent refusal of the Republicans to do anything
in the way of reducing the duties on raw mate
rials. Even in Pennsylvania, that stronghold of
high protection, there is an increasing clamor
among manufacturers for such reduction in
duties

We reaiize the importance Of electinq

and free from pecuniary or other obli-
cations to special interest which must
be the subject of legislation. The inter-
ests OF the people need to be guarded
IN the appointment of committees,
tor the committee rooms are often
the places where the most vital
questions are fought out and
determined. The people will not
stand idly by at this time and allow

free from any taint or suspicion of bids
towards the vast corporate aggregations

need the watchful care of the people and
their friends in public service. In view
OF these facts and the special needs and
interests of the people to which, at this
time, the remedy of legislation in their
interest must be applied.
We. the members of Fair Field Ali
ance, No. ...,, of Orange county, dc
hereby endorse A. D. Jones, E q OF

of the House of Commons in the nexi
