The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1896-12-07

From the West Chester Village Record.
THE West Chester correspondent of the
Philadelphia Record, in letter published
yesterday, states that Senator Snyder and
Assemblynien Philips and Marshall will
vote for BOles Penrose for United States
senator The correspondent is probably
wrong, for Messrs. Snyder, Philips and
Marshall will certainly desire to represent
the people Of Chester county better than
by voting for professional politician. 1t
has been o reflection upon Pennsylvania
that she has not been represented during
the past few years by men with more to
recommend them than their ability to
line up votes. Penrose has nothing to sup
port his cause but his friendship for Quay;
If it were not for this he would never be
heard of in connection with the exalted
Office. The people of Chester county do
not want their representative to vote for
such man when there is u man of ma
tiOnal reputation, such as is John Wana-
maker, in the field"
The above is from the West Chester
Morning Republican, which, like nine
tenths of the newspapers that are sup
porting Wanamakor for United States
senator is beneficiary of the Philadel-
phia merchant, and, therefore, docs not
speak so much from principle as it does
from an EYE to business standpoint.
For the Republican to antagonize Wanna
makers ambition would possibly imperil
II liberal advertising contract, and our
contemporary, therefore, is to be pardoned
for the zeal 1t is manifesting in behalf of
this ''prince of merchants"
AS far as The Village Record Is con-
cerned 1t Is not for John Wanamaker for
United States senator, nor does 1t believe
that "a majority of the people of Chester
county is for him. The United States
eeuats already has too many millionairea
and monopolists in II for the good of the
country, and the election by the next
legislature OF John Wanamaker to seat
in that body would be to add one more to
that list of statesmen whose entrance into
the highest legislative body in the land
was made possible only through the size
Of their bank accounts. Wanamaker's
election would no doubt be hailed with
satisfaction by those foreign manufac-
turers whose products he has been food.
