SENATOR EMERYs PROOFS,

on CITY Derrick (Standard): The spectacle
of Emery frantically striving to hold wearied
and disgusted audience is q pitiable one. He
has fittingly supplemented the suicide of last
April by digging his own grave and conducting
his own funeral, while his townsmen buried
away from the ghastly sight.
MEADvILLE Tribune (Rep.): There is moth
ing true in his allegations; he has fastened no
crime upon Mr.. Delamater and can't, and for
the simple reason, Mr.. Delamater has never Of
Tended the law in deed or by inference. Emery
produces no proof, notwithstanding his asser-
tions that he would, and it is, therefore, but
inst and fair to brand him falsitier from the
start to the finish.
NEW YORK Times (Mug.): Senator Emery,
of Pennsylvania fully redeemed his promise to
substantiate the charges which he made last
April against George w. Delamater. He did
not by any means confne himself to reiteratng
the charges in greater detail, but he presented
proofs and repeated his offer to support the
charges by fuller evidence in a court of law If
the accused would be accommodating enough
to prosecute him for libel This invitation has
been standing for several months.
PHILADELPHIA Record (Dem.): The ex-
plicit charges made by ex-senator Lewis Emery
Jr.. at public meeting in Bradford last even
ing, against Senator George Wallace Della
mater, the Republican candidate for Governor,
call for equally explicit denials on the palt of
Mr.. Delamater. If Mr.. Emery's charges be
untrue, be should be hauled into court and put
Immediately upon trial for criminal libel If
they be true, Mr.. Delamater need only make
general denial and then take refuge in silence.
PHILADELPHIA Press (Rep.): The statement
made by ex-senator Emery in his speech at
Bradford last night proves nothing so clearly as
the fact that the charges which he made
SanatOr yUh M
warranted. A good deal of the matter has al
ready been printed and is absolutely worthless
as evidence tending to inculpate Mr.. Della
matter. 1t is strong only in showing how weak
and baseless is the material out of which Mr..
Emery has fabricated his unjust and vicious
accusations.
PHILADELPHIA Inquirer (Rep): Well, Mr..
Emery has tried to substantlate his charges
against Delamater and has miserably failed.
His speech, excluding his TRADE against the
Republican candidate. which, of course, is not
proof consists of few affidayits, and the re-
port of conversation engaged in by three
anonymous individuals who dare not give their
names to the public. These individuals claim
20 have distributed money to influence elections
and the public will understand how to Judge
such people.
HARRISBURG Patriot (Dem.): No ingenious
reader of the speech will be inclined to deny
that the proofs presented by the speaker to
sustain his wel-known charges against Della
mater are of character which the latter can
not meet or explain away. The challenge
thrown to Delamater by Emery to take the
matter into the courts. where testimony could
be taken under oath, will hardly be accepted
by the former. 1t serves to show. however,
that Emery is sure of his ground and is cor
roborative of the proofs he has been able to
present.
PHILADELPHIA Times (Dem.): The speech
will be very generally read by considerate ciri-
zens of all parties in Pennsylvania If these
accusations came from a Democrat, or from a
Republican sorehead, they would be at once
dismissed as campaign inventions; but as they
come from a Republican ex-senator Of con-
fessed ability, integrity and courage; from one
who desired to support the Republican State
ticket IL he could do so conscientiously and
from one who deliberately sacrificed Con-
gressional nomination Of his party in strong
majority district to make manly battle against
what be regards as the mastery of debauchery
in the Republican organization, his accusations
and his proofs will be deliberately weighed and
accorded the respect they merit
