CAMERON DENOUNCED.
Speech in Senate Stirred
Up PennSyIvanianS.
IT IS HIS death WARRANT
The General Opinion Of the Press Of
the Keystone State.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept Ex-senator Cam
eron has created decided sensation
throughout the state by his favoring free
silver In his speech In the senate instead
Of urging repeal. He is denounced as a
traitor and otherwise severely criticised by
newspapers OF both political opinions.
The Inquirer says: Pennsylvania is
sound on the silver question. Her demand
for repeal has been universal. Both the
political parties have put themselves on
record as demanding repeal. The Repub-
lican state convention in special resolu-
tion directed both senator's to vote for re-
peal. 1enator Cameron by this act Of un-
pardonable perfidy signed his own political
dea' warrant
''se earnest and overwhelming senti.
ment Of this state cannot be mistaken"
says the Press "Mr. Cameron does not
misunderstood IL. He chooses for his own
purposes TO defy and trample on it; he
lee. les willfully and deliberately to mis-
represent it, but be does not fail to know
what il ~. He has his inning now; the
inning of the people will come by and by"
Senator Cameron thoroughly misrep-
resented Pennsylvania" says The Ledger,
'disregarding every public expression OF
opinion on the Sherman act which has ever
been made by trade organization or po-
litical convention Of the state. Senator
Cameron. in voting against the repeal Of
the Sherman act, will have scarcely cor
porals guard Of followers In his own
state"
"By petitions, memorials and letters
from his constituents" The Record says,
"by the practically unanimous declaration
of his party in convention and In the state
Legislatures; by the equally unanimous
voice OF the press, representing all parties
In the state, Mr.. Cameron has been as
sured to the contrary of his declaration.
He can have no other excuse for retaining
his seat and obstinately opposing the will
o: the people he Is supposed to represent,
except his belief that he knows better
than they what they want and what is
good for them"
There is but one sentiment among the
business men of Philadelphia regarding
the delay of the United States senate in re-
pealing the silver purchase clause of the
Sherman act. The universal opinion Is
that the act should be repealed quickly.
Cameron Asked to Resign.

resolutions appealing to congress to re-
peal the Sherman act, and sent them to
their representatives In congress. Eighty
per cent of the window glass workers are
foreigners, which accounts for their ac-
tion. All the papers denounce Senator
Cameron. They say he is a traitor to the
people of his state. The Commercial Ga
zette, the straight Republican organ of
western Pennsylvania, says:
Senator Cameron misrepresents the
sentiment Of Pennsylvania and is false to
the principles Of the Republican party
when he stands in the senate Of the United
States as the faltering and shamefaced
advocate of quantity of money as against
quality. Senator Cameron should resign.
Unfortunately, however, he has shown
since his last election land 1t should be the
last) that he is not possessed Of sufficient
political decency TO do So"
The Despatch, Independent, and The
Times, Chris Magee's paper, all denounce
Cameron in long editorials. The Times
criticism is unusually severe for Repub-
lican paper.
