HERBERT WELsH's City and State says:
''The Hastings Quay contest has done
more to debauch the politics of the state
than any campaign IN its history. 1t is
estimated that no less than a million
dollars was spentin the primary elections
and in the corruption of delegates.
Both sides were well supplied with mon
ey, and it was expended literally
wherever it was thought its use would
accomplish results. Quay played the
poor dodge, and his adherents were Civ
ca the cue to spread the tale that the IN
nOcent and traduced leader was without
funds, and that his entire private for
tune would be swept away in the effort
to stem the tide of opposition that had
set in again him. Poor Quay
Zone of the stories since the conven-
ton is tnat, as soon as the fight was de
clared on, prominent Western Penn
sylvania steel company contributed a
check of S25, 900 as nucleus for the
campaign fund which the manufacture
ers of the state rolled up for the man
from Beaver. OF course, on the other
side the cash was also plentiful. There
was never any lack of it. 1t is said that
one side spent 49, 200 in Montgomery
county, and the other side half as
much; that in another county, toward
the close of the contest, the snug sum
of S25, 900 was offered for the delegates;
that So, 900 was rendered for the vote OF
another county, and that similar sums
were offered for the delegates of many
counties in the state. 1t will take years
and the active participation of the peo-
pie at the primary elections to purify
the polls of the debauchery of the cam
paign just closed"

The following planks in the Demo
cratic platform were adopted at Allen
town in addition TO those published last
week
Second-That enactment of the Sher
man purchase act and the Mckinley
tariff law found, as accurately predicted
by Mr. Cleveland, their results in bank
rupt railroads, closed factories. ruined
farms, abandoned fields, impaired na-
tional credit and general disaster The
repeal of such iniquiuous legislation and
the substitution of more moderate tariff
laws, have found their immediate re-
sumption OF business and the restoration
of the national credit.
Third-As vindicating the principles
of tariff reform, to which the Demo~
cracy is unalterably pledged, we chal-
lange especial attention to the fact that
such prosperity and the consequent ma
teriaI increase of wages has been most
pronounced in the industries whose ex-
istence our opponents claimed was de
pendent upon high tariff duties. The
gloomy prediction that the iron and steel
industries of Pennsylvania would be de-
stroyed by reduced tariff has been con-
tracted by their present unexampled
prosperity,
FOurth-We invite the attention of
the wage earners to the fact that the
present voluntary increase of wages of
those employed in the manufacturing
industries. amounting to not less than
$240, 600, 900, as absolutely unknown
under the Mckinley tariff act. To pre-
vent the reactIonary legislation threat>
ened by the Republican party of Penn
sylvania in their recent state convention,
which would again depress business by
destroying faith in the present cOndi-
tions, we invite our fellow countrymen
throughout the land, irrespective of par
ty, to so act together as to insure by the
election of Democratic president in
1896 the maintenance of the present
prosperity.

Bought His Own Contract.

Wooster, o., September l7.-Jacob
Boss, an old farmer, living near Mavs-
vile, signed what he supposed was an
agreement to place lightning rods on his
house and barn at $3.50 per point
When the men arrived to put up the
rods he would not permit them to go to
work until they would go with him to
neighhor, Mr.. Musser, whom he wanted
to read the document. Musser saw that
the old man had agreed to take seven
points at S25 per point, and in case he
paid cash was to receive discount of
S41 80. Musser pronounced the fellows
swindlers, who threatened him with all
manner of trouble. They went back to
Boss ho lse and insisted on doing the
work. Boss finally paid them So to sur
render the contract to Mrs. Boss.

he was unable to pass before the flames.
He turned back, only to find that he was

Prickett urged his team to their utmost
speed, and was miraculously saved, but
only by a hairbreadth.

The supreme court of this state, by a
decision by Justice Greeh, May 80 last
in the case OF Holden VS. PENNSYLVANIA
railroad company, unanimously decided
that the abuse and insult of witnesses by
counsel, or the abuse of witnes or lit
igan:s IN arguments to the jury, furnish
legal ground for an exception on tine
record to be reviewed by the supreme
court. In this case, also, the court not
only sustained the exception as based on
good legal grounds, but reversed the
judgment of the court below distinctly
on the grounds therein stated. This de.
cision is a good one, as the custom.
heretofore, in many courts, has been to
allow the witnesses TO be abused by coun-
sci IN a way not befitting to common
decency. One would eften think that
the witness was on trial instead of the
prisoner or litigant.

THE Wilson bill removed one.baIf of
the 81 per cent. tariff tax on wooIen
fabrics and all of the 33 per cent. duty
on raw wool. The result has been that
the people have tasted the comforts of
cheap wool and at the same time the
price of domestic wool has risen and the
manufacturers of wooden goods are busi-
er than they ever were before. Under
these circumstances it would seem that
any Republican who demands return
to the Mckinley wool schedule is either
out of his mind or anxious to invite de-
feat.

AN accident resulting in the death of
five and the wounding of two other
members of the Louisville legion occur
red Thursday morning of last week by
the explosion of caisson. The acci-
dent occurred on Broadway. where the
First Kentucky artillery was stationed
for the purpose of firing a salute in hon

bodies were blown over the house tops

attached to the cannon were so horribly
mangled that they were killed. All the
killed were members of the First Ken

always been considered the finest in the

ACTING Postmaster General Jones has
made an important decision affirming
the right of postmasters to Withhold from
delivery newspapers and publications
which they may consider libelous or
otherwise obnoxious, according to the
law defining unmailable matter. The
decision was based on the action of the
postmaster at Davenport, Ia, who re-
fused to deliver frcm his office copies of
a Kansas City publication which he con-
sidered libelous and obscene. A post>
master cannot, in advance, decide that
he will not receive for mailing, or refuse
TO deliver copies of publications, but
must base his decision on an actual ex-
animation of an edition or issue.
