Warwick is Untaintsd.
THERE was,uproar among leaders
Of the Republican party in Philadel-
phia on the 9th inst, over the nomi-
nation Of candidate for Mayor.
Until within q few weeks of the
meeting of the Convention. it was
believed that the nomination of State
Senator Penrose would be made
without opposition. The republican
combine of the city was for him.
But presto, change. some influence
erept into the combine anu schemed
and turned the members away from
their promises to Penrose, and then
to get away from their pledges to the
Senator, the combine was dissolved.
To give the schemers against Pen
rose chance to start q movement
against him, stories were circulated
that he was given to drunkenness,
that he is an infdel, g.. The stories
were circulated among Sunday School
and Church people, which revealed
how systematic the movement against
him had been planned. The public
contractor element soon showed it.
self against him and so formidable
was the opposition to him, that
United States Senator Quay came
from Washington with the hope of
calming the troubled waters and in
ducing David Martin and other lead
ers to stand by pledges made to Pen
rose, but the hidden Influence was
stronger than Quay.
What was the inhence that con-
troled Martin and others :, declare
for any available m n to defeat Pen
rose is the question yet unanswered
in Philadelphia.
The Convention met. Charles F.
Warwick received 6S4 votes. Pen
rose received 233 votes.
The nominee is an able man.
Will he suit the men who defeated
Penrose.
The discord thus created is de-
plored by republicans throughout
the State and democrats say now is
the time to nominate Governor Pat
tison for Mayor.
While no one is justi6able in de-
claring that the trouble will end in .
democratic victory, there are danger
signals flying.
A danger signal in the case ia
found in the fact that the Penrose
men refused to ratify the nomination
of Warwick. They refused to vo's
to make tho nomination unanimous.
| Another danger signal in the case
10 the remarkable opportunity that
was offered to Senator Quay TO ex.
|press his disapproval OF the methods
employed to defeat Penrose. Quay
had gone back to Washington, and
ON the very day that Penrose was
defeated, he was in his scot in the
Senate, when Cockrell of Missouri
was ON the floor with the Income
Tax Bill How strange that just at
that juncture an opportunity for the
display Of the phenominal resouces
of Senator Quay should be given.
If a thousand Senators had been
there each with knowledge Of re-
publican affairs in Philadelphia, and
with an acquaintance Of the Income
Tax Bill, probably not single other
man than Quay, would have had the
fertility of resources to turn the In
come Tax Bill into an explosive instru-
ment to reveal the influences that
had brought about the defeat Of Pen
rose.
Quay saw the opportunity to re-
veal the hidden hand, and he did it.
, Ne asked permission of Senator
Cockrell to so amend the tax b,i. tha.
the names AID salaries Of employees
of corporations shall be published.
He said the circumstances Of the
past SO hours in Philadelphia in
connection with an important nomi-
nation dictates the wisdom of max
ing a record of the saleries Of men
| who are in the secret service of cor
porations. that a certain prominent
citizen of Philadelphia bad been in
fuenced by secret service corpora
ton influence in his political action
to such degree that he violated his
plis shted faith, that he was receiving
yearly a corporation salary= . salary
large enough to support his family.
Quay said further:
"The amendment l suggest is per
tinent simply in this respect, that
men in such a position with high
power for good or evil, ought not to
be permitted to masquerade as act
ing in the interest Of the public or in
the interest of any party, when in
reality they are serving these great
corporate bodies. They oreht to 60
about and meet their fellows fairly
and openly with the dollar mark OF
the corporation upon their forheads.
/ think such an amendment as sug- |
gest should be inserted Iii the bill be-
fore it passes.
Senator Quay did not mention the
name Of any corporation, but as the
PhiIadelphia traction corporation
has been working latterly with the
city council, it is believed by many
that he had reference to the secret
service work of that corporation, and
thus the republican convention for
the nomination of Mayor in Phils-
delpbia, has become question for
the widest consideration, that will in
all probability, result in An investiga.
ten into Traction and other corpor-
alton methods. So far Warwick is
untaintsd.
