Ills Party Is Met with Considerable
Warmth Did Not Lead Movement in
FAVOR OF Judge Smith.
Philadelphia. Nov. LEX Secretary
of the Commonwealth and Chairman of
the Democratic National Committee w.
+. Harrity, when spoken to today con-
cerning the rumor that he had helped
to direct or lead a movement in Phila-
delphia and elsewhere in Pennsylvania,
in which Catholics and members of
Irish societies voted for Hon. p p
Smith only for Superior court judge,
thus cutting down the total vote of
Judge Smiths colleagues upon the DEM
ocratic ticket by several thousand. Mr..
Harrity replied with some warmth:
''The statement that l aided Judge
Smith or any of the Democratic can
didates for the Superior court. to the
prejudice of any of the other candidates
is absolutely and unqualifiedly false.
never urged, advised, suggested or inti-
mated to any person whatsoever either
directly or indirectly, that Democrats
individually or collectively should es-
pecially aid any candidate upon the
ticket; on the contrary, l urged the
propriety and wisdom of Democrats
supporting the whole and entire DEM
ocratic ticket.
Il challenge successful contradic-
tion of my statement, and declare that
1t Is not within the power of any liv-
ing man to produce a single scintilla
of evidence In contradiction of it. /
particularly challenge those newspa-
pers which have invented or given cir
culation to the venomous falsehood; !;
and especially those in whose columns
there has never appeared a single word
of condemnation or disapproval of the
organizations or individuals whose op-
position to political candidates has
been avowedly based upon race preju-
dice and religious bigotry.
THE Democratic party in Pennsylva-
MIA and in Philadelphia has been in
the habit of nominating candidates
who were worthy of the support of
every Democrat, and l always cheer
fully voted for and supported them.
This year, the Democratic state ticket
was made UP of rentlemen of unex-
ceptionable character and ability, and
every one of them was entitled to the
vote of every Democrat. l have been
the subject Of good deal of severe
criticism and abuse, but have never
been charged with party disloyalty un-
til now. when 1t is done rather by in
uendo and insnuation, and by those
who think that under the present cir
cumstances they can successfully ap-
peal to race and religious prejudices. I
have no fear that these falsehoods will
be believed by those who know me.

SSS'SSS No"OA tuS an
Old Circular.
Washington, Nov. 11.-Some atten-
tion has been attracted in the east to
a newspaper story that Senator Quay
had come out as a candidate for pres
ident. The basis Of the tale was the
discovery by some one Of q pamphlet
containing the senator's portrait and
a eulogy of his career and character
The Inference was that Mr.. Quay had
set out for the presidential nomina-
ton, and to further his ambition had
started IN literary bureau.
1t turns out, however, that the
pamphl let in question was published
several years ago, when Mr.. Quay was
making his canvass for reelection to
the senate. President Harrison had
made war on Quay as chairman Of the
national Republican committee, and
attempted to depose him from that
Office. Quay afterward resigned, and
on going before his people for re-elec-
ton issued the pamphlet in defense of
the imputatlons cast upon him by Har-
rison and his lieutenants. Mr. Quay is
not candidate for the presidency.

A Tribute to Capt Holly.

Thr following extracts from the ser.
mon by Rov. 8. B. Warner, were sought
for publication last week but did moi
reach us in time: "Strong testimony
comes to US concerning the warmth oi
his affection for his family and home
He was to large extent one Who lived
in his children. Great concern for theil
well-being was always manifested.
He was not connected with any church,
neither was he an open professor OF re-
hgion. In this respect his life was seri-
ously at fault. His moral standards,
however, were high and his interest In
the maintenance of churches and the
support OF charities was strong. His
parents and many relatives, especially
his mother were members Of the Metho-
dist church and his sympathies were
with us.
His departure will be felt not only in
his own county of Otero, but in a much
wider field of acquaintanceship. The
greatest loss falls, however on his home
tho circle which he loved and which
loved him SO devotedly. To that group
OF seven our largest sympathies are now
extended. It will seem as though the
family life must stop under such a blow
and loss like this. But no. It must go
on. Let the virtues OF the husband and
father be emulated. Young men, sons Of
the one departed, make your lives such
as will honor your father and mother.
To God who alone can make this possi-
ble we commend you all Trus. him,
commend your lives to him and all shall
be weu.' i
