at the time that any word was obscured
by the blot "
While that does not directly implicate
me. 10 is apparently the intention Of the
Morning News and Mr. Lee to bring me

United States Treasury to be distributed
where such men as are mentioned above
thought 1t would DO the most good had
no influence; that all of these things
indeed. were campaign stories to be
received with incredulity.
They are all sober truths and they
nullfied the election in the minds Of the
Democrats.
Many mon who would cheerfully sub
init to fair election won by respectable
and honest white and black voters were
filled with Just indignation at the frauds
perpetrated so openly by Pennsylvania
carpet baggers and equally notorious,
though not SO slick negro repeaters.
The fact that men removed FROM these
scenes could not comprehend the iniquity
and crime Of the election prevented the
Democrats from agreeing on the leglsla-
tion necessary. All agreed that the
county government and the tax laws
should be reformed and that some legis-
lation for the purity Of the ballot was
necessary, but thu Democrats here felt
deeply the shame and injustice Of the
results of the last election and wanted
them reversed They feel now that they
must submit to this shame and injustice
because our legislators are too timid, too
Indifferent, or not well-enough informed
to rectify an insult to the glorious privi-
lege and important duties Of suffrage and
free, untrammelled, unbought, unbull-
dozed, intelligent ballot.

L Simmons, William Lawton, e. A.
Van Trump, A. A. Maher. William M
Candy, O. w. Pusey and George A.
Elliott. After President Taylor had
stated the objects Of the meeting, George
A. Elliott referred to the petitions from
farmers to the Legislature, asking 1t not
to pass the bill which would affect both
savings funds and manufacturing estab
lishments. He thought committee to
arrange the matter aud report to the
Legislature some equitable law should be
appointed.
After further discussion 1t was re-
solved to protest against the passage OF
the bill to 'equalize taxation" and the
bill Tin relation to the taxation OF
investments" as detrimental to the
interests Of our loan associations and
saving institutions and seriously unsettle
the relation of the borrower and lender
not only in the city, bat throughout the
state, aud the General Assembly was
requested to defeat the bills. They also
recommended the appointment of specia

clined 10 institute any Investigations.
The ACT provided that the committee
should 'collate, index and print such
testimony as may be on file with the com
mittee in connection with the Mckinley
bill, together with any other data rela-
tive to tariff matters which they may
deem advisable" They do not esteem
this good time to "collate, index and
print" che effects Of the Mckinley bill

best to say as little about the Mckinley

DEMOCRATS differed as TO the legisla-
tion demanded according to their cog
nizanee and indignation Of the manner
In which the election was carried here by
the Republicans last November. Those
who were familiar with the methods by
which 1t was carried demanded that the
false results shonld be reversed. while
those who were ignorant or Indifferent
demanded simply the reforms that had
been agreed upon by respectable, re-
sponsible and patriotic men Of all parties,
The Five Commissioners bill as passed
gives the reforms in the county govern
ment, but does not reverse all Of the
results Of shameless bribery and fraud
The bill is good one In that 1t prevents
the Republican managers from accom-
plishing what they hoped to accomplish
by obtaining entire control OF the county
machinery and money. There is enough
good about the bill to encourage every
Democrat to pull off his coat, roll up his
sleeves and 60 into the coming
campaign to win, feeling assured that
deputy marshals and imported repeaters
cannot be manipulated again TO change
the results. II now we have good
registration law and secret ballot, we
SHALL be free from fear of the Pennsyl
vanla carpet-baggers and their brlbed
negro allies. The Democrats have no
fear Of honest Republicans, either white
or black Any election that may be won
by fair and just methods Of the respec-
table Republicans, will be cheerfully
acqulesced In.
