ing such as are getting Hastings pap
Tine Democratic party cut dowr
the tariff income of the country, anG
then borrowed money to run th'
Government.
The Philadelphia lobbyists ant
contractors will have something else
to think about than running Gov
ernor once the Senate investigating
committee gets to work. It may bs
q surprise to learn how near some
people are to the Jail door.
HASTINGS has Gilkeson, the sc, ,OOC
chairman under his thumb in Harris
burg, and wants the chairmanship o1
the State convention himself. 1t is
the old story of giving finger t.
some men and they will take youl
whole hand. Hastings wants the
earth.
THE republicans who are lining up
against the revolutionary politics OF
Governor Hastings are not against
Hastings, but they are determined
not to be a party to crush such eff
ciert men as Senator Quay. When
it comes to glittcring brszen con-
tractors and traction combine parties
turning in to tear down the ablest
people in the republican party, there
will be no question as to where the
people will be found when they come
to cast their vote for delegate to the
State convention.
READER what would you think of q
man, who has enough of an income
to live comfortably, deliberately stop
ping part of his income and then
borrowing money and paying inter
est on it to make up for the income
that he stopped on himself. What
would YOU think Of such a man! Well
that is the Democratic party. When
it came into power everything was
going on prosperously, when all of
sudden the Cleveland people said,
we'll cut off some of our income from
the tariff, and borrow money to make
up for what We cut off. They did
that, and thus far have borrowed one
hundred and fifty million dollars, for
which they gave gold paying bonds.
THE six thousand dollar a year
salery State Office holder Gilkeson,
under Governor Hastings, wants to
be elected chairman of the State
Committee. It seems
plain to every correct thinking mind
that it is not the proper thing to do
for the Governor to have the chair
man Of the committee as member
Of his administration at Harrisburg.
1t might do for Kaiser William Of
Germany, but not for a party of free
men, and the wonder among the
people is that the judgment of the
Governor does not see the mistake Of
such q combination. The people
think great deal Of their Governor,
but they don't want him to have the
State chairman IN his office at Har-
risburg where he can be managed
like the key beard of type writing
machine.
The Legislature having passed an
act, and the Governor having signed
the act to institute what is called a
Superior Court. A new Court to oc-
cupy the place between the common
Court and the Supreme Court, and
therefore Governor Hastings has ap-
pointed the seven Judges to hold the
Superior Court til, the Judges may
be elected next November. The Re-
publican party will hold its State
Convention at Harrisburg on the 2Sth
of August, and will on the occasion
nominate candidates for the Superior
Court. The Judges that have been
by Governor Hastings to
constitute the Court till next Janu-
ary, when the Judges elected at the
next general Election in November,
will take their seats. The men ap-
pointed by Governor Hastings are:
Charles T.. Reed Of Luzerne county;
James A. Beaver of Center county;
George b. Orlady of Huntingdon;
John j. Wickham of Beaver county;
Howard J. Reeder of Lehigh county;
Edward n. Willard OF Scranton;
Henry j. Mccarthy of Philadelphia.
The new Court is intended to be
relief to the Supreme Court.
REPUBLICAN camp fires are all ablazs
throughout Pennsylvania with prep
aration for contest among themselves
for the control Of the Republican
State Committee. The State Con-
vention Is to meet at Harrisburg on
the 2Sth of August. The present
Chairman of the State Committee is
B. F. Gilkesop, who has recently
been appointed Chief of the State
Banking Department at salary Of
$4,000 year The Governor ap-
pointed him, and is backing him for
reelection to the State Committee
Craftsmanship. IT Gilkeson is 70.
elected Chairman Of the State Com.
mittee, the Governor will be in con.
troll Of the State organization. Sen.
ator Quay is candidate for the
Craftsmanship Of the State Commit
Zee, and as the Governor and Dave
Martin Of Philadelphia and Christ
Mages Of Pittsburg are determined
to down Quay, if they can, they are
doing their best to secure as many
of the delegates to the State Conven-
.tion as they can. Dave Martin and
Christ Magee, each, it is said, want
to po to The United States Senate,
and Hastings wants to be q Presiden,
tial candidate, and that is the report
ed cause of this rumPus, they ara
raising in the party.
Governor Hastings is asking for
votes, and in his appealing letter to
certain individuals for their votel
