The Peoples Opportunity.

Every Pennsylvania likes to vote
for candidates tor Office VINO are nomi-
mated by the people. That such nomi.
nations have been made is guaranty
that the nominees if elected will serve
the people and serve them well. The
candidates OF the Democratic party
selected at Reading were nominated
by the people. Indeed the candidates
themselves knew nothing of the event
until notified by wire or press. The
Republican candidates were selected
by the machine boss and nominated
by convention of collar wearers. If
elected they vii! serve him and the
machine, as, until the recent factional
disturbance. every Republican Office
holder in the state did and as the
majority do now.
Every Pennsylvania wants to know
how the business of the state treasury
has been conducted. An effort, or
so called effort, to obtain this informa-
ton was made by recent legislative
inquiry, but as it was never intended
anything in derogation of Republican
rule should be known, the inqulsition
into the business of the treasury was
trultless and the inquisitors discovered
not flaw. But 1t is known there are
plenty of flaws, believed that there are
many abuses, suspected that there
have been rascalites perpetrated in
the offices of the state treasurer and
the auditor general. The truth can
never be learned through Republican
incumbents of these Offices. Even if
they belonged to the faction opposing
Quay they would not reveal the truth.
No, the truth must come from other
sources. The people must put in
these offices their own representatives
to ascertain how their business has
been managed and to assure honest
management in the future. The
Pennsylvania who wants the fiscal
affairs of the state honestly admins
tered must, therefore vote for Brown
and Ritter, nominated by no machine,
owned by no man, enlisted in the
cause of the people.

And IN the last general appropria-

The figures in the case, as here
given, are as few and simple as could
be made to cover it. They will be
easily comprehended. They show the

partments at Harrisburg as compared
with the cost under the Democratic
government of 1896, the Demo
cratic government of IS9I-9s and the
first two years of the present admins
trat:on. The Legislature of 1895,
which provided the latter, was uni
versally recognized as the most cor
rupt and reckless that had up to that
time assembled, but these figures
show that 1t was innocency almost as
compared with the body so recently
adjourned. And the new capitol
scheme, and Custodian John De-
laney's scheme for making an Alad-

The average citizen may we'll stand

your votes should be cast for Walter

Democratic candidates for auditor
general and state treasurer. whose
election would be the beginning of
the end of treasury ring rule, and
would inaugurate a new order of

THE RAPE OF THE TREASURY.

State Expenses Growing Like Jacks
Bean Stalk-A Brief, Comprehen-
sive and Easily Understood Review
of Pennsylvania's Fiscal Affairs.
How the Rule of Quay and His
Treasury Ring Spreads Corruption
and Brings 1mpoverishment.
Under the spur Of the prohigacy
and peculations of the Republicans
the cost to the taxpayers of officially
running this state grows with rapid
ity and unceasingness that bellttle the

lively respectable, if not a practical
necessity.
The enormous majorities that the
machine has for some years past heen
able to insure for anything or any
body that was labeled Republican
have encouraged its representatives in
the legislature to act what Wander
bilt proclaimed "The public be
d."
The time for check to this odious
and dangerous rule has arrived. The
opportunity is afforded in the nomina-
tions made by the Democratic party
Tor state treasurer and auditor general.
The election of these gentlemen is

defeat means not only continuance

OF 1t as must appal and ruin.
Here are some fgnres that without
going into confusing detail will convey
to the taxpayer an approximate idea
of the manner in which he has been
and is being robbed.
Robert Emory Pattison was gov
ernor from 1883 to 1887. The ap
propriations for the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial departments made in
1883 to cover the years 1883 "a less
the sums vetoed, aggregated $I,SI7,-
o8S.o7.
For the years 1850 90 of Beavers
administration the amount was ST..
I54IIS.oI.
For the years IS97-9S under Hast
ngs, not including the items Hast
lngs vetoed, the total was $3,126,-
1854, or very nearly double the sum
consumed under Pattison from 1888,
10 1887.
But Pattson was again governor
rom 1891 to 1895. The appropria-
Mons "for salaries of state officers,
clerks and incidental expenses and
without reference to legislative and
judicial expenses, during these four
years, as compared with the appropri-
atlons under Hastings, were as

the shadow of an eacuse can be offer

general trade conditions were and are
such as to compel the taxpayers bop

rigid economy. AS TO the superiority
and greater safety Of Democratic adj

present administration, the figures
above given are ample testimony.

Ritter Talks of Victory.
Democratic Candidate for Auditor General
Very Hopeful.

Walter E. Ritter, Democratic can
didate for Auditor General, returned
to Williamsport on Saturday after a
weeks trip throughout the western
part OF the State. In an interview
Saturday afternoon Mr.. Ritter said:
"Mr. Brown, candidate for State
Treasurer, Chairman Garman and N.Y.
self have, during the week, been visit
ed by many of the chairmen and other
prominent Democrats in the western
part of the State. In every instance
the prospects for the success of the
ticket this fall were said to be most
promising. l believe if our party
would turn out the full vote, with the
Republican vote which we would get,
and the votes that will so to Swallow
and Thompson, our prospects for cleo
tlon would be very bright.
"My observation of political condl-
tions in the counties o. Philadelphia
and Allegheny leads me to believe
that the party is better united than 1t
has been for a number of years past.
UNPRECEDENTED DISSATISFACTION.
"Until l entered this campaign l
had no idea that the general discon-
tent over the existing state of affairs
In our State Government was so great
as am now convinced that it is.
'People seem to be thoroughly in
formed of the rottenness of the pre-
sent machine government. 1t is de-
nounced alike by Republicans and
Democrats. Even those who are tied
to the present dominant political fac,
tion have no apology to make for the
general disregard OF the peoples inter-
ests by the present Republican State
government.
SIT appears to me that this State is
ready for political revolution. The
cause of good government has been
sub' erted in the interests and the
maintenance of corrupt political
machine.
