Democratic workingmen should 60
and hear Mr. Brumm tonight.
LOOK TO THE LEGISLATURE.
There probably is not single Re
publican in Shenandoah or in Schuyl-
kin county who desires to earn the
distinction of having been instrument
tai in securing the election of Demo
crat to succeed Senator Quay in the
United States Senate. The votes of
very few Republicans in this Legisa.
tive district may accomplish just that
result, and in view of the imminent
danger of such q calamity we deem it
our duty to make this last appeal to
the Republicans of the district to
stand together and vote solidly for
John J. Coyle, the Republican nomi-
nee.
Pennsylvania is the banner Repub-
lican state of the Union, and the ban
ner protection state as well. Its in
dustries have been built up and are
prospecting under q protection basis,
and the one hundred thousand ma
jority that will be given to Harrison
and Reid tomorrow in the common
wealth will be a notice to the free
trade advocates of the country that the
old keystone state has reaf1irmed its
devotion to the principles Of the Re-
publican party and the policy of pro.
lection to American industries.
The Republican majority in
Pennsylvania has increased steadily
during the last twelve years, or since
protection to American labor became
the paramount issue between the two
great political parties. The working
men and business men of the state
are sufficiently intelligent to under
stand this question and to know what
is for their best interests, and they are
becoming more unanimous in the sup
port of the protection principle each
year.
Ifa United States Senator were to
be elected tomorrow by direct vote
of the people and the issue were made
up as it is now, the Republican candi-
date would not only receive the sup
port of the entire Republican voting
strength of the state, but would poll, in
addition, the votes of enough Demo-
cratic workingmeD to swell his major
ity up to 10000 votes. This will
hardly be denied by any one who un-
derstands the situation and who is ac-
quainted with the sentiment of the
workingmen and business men of the
state, yet it must be admi
there is a possibility of a Democrat
being elected to succeed Senator Quay.
This can only be accomplished how
ever, through Republican thoughtless-
ness or indifference. Republican apa-
thy in close districts or the casting of
7 Republican votes for Independent or
/. Prohibition candidates may enable
the Democrats to carry the Legislature
, and elect Senator. The measure OF
such a calamity as this we can only get
by.remembering that the United States
Senate is likely to be so close that even
one vote may change it, and that the
| Democrat elected from Pennsylvania
, may be the one Senator needed to re,
peal the Mckinley bill and put into
operation the Democratic doctrine Of
? "tariff reform" whatever that may be-
The way to avert this impending
= misfortune is for every Republican
> in the state to vote for the Republican
/ candidates for the Legislature. This
r will insure the election of a Repub-
3 lican Assembly and the return of 1
Republican United States Senator.
