WANAMAKER'S AMBITION.
Would Overthrow Quay That He
May Advance to Position and
Power-The Secret of His
Reform Movement.

Hon. Peter j. Hughes, of Philadel-
phia, who is in the city has for years
been a keen student of Pennsylvania
politics. Until he became a magistrate
of the city of Philadelphia he was known
as one of the best informed political
writer's of the state, his long experience
aS a newspaper man in Philadelphia
and as the Harrisburg correspondent
of papers Of that city giving him unu-
sual advantages for obtaining inside in
formation about politics and the men
who direct them. When asked for an
opinion about the strength of the Swal-
low movement by u Tribune reporter
yesterday, he said:
THE Swallow movement is peculiar
in one respect. The doctor appears to
take effect in sports He is either
strong in q community or very in
significant factor In this part of the
state ] perceive that he has a good
sized following and 1 would not be
surprised if the northeastern part of
Pennsy lvania would give him more
votes this year than last. In other
portions of the state his vote will be
much smaller.
1t is a matter of some surprise to
me that the people of Pennsylvania
have not read DR.. Swallow better. As
a reformer he is not honest, neither is
John Wanamaker. This will be DEM
onstrated If they ever reach positions
of power. don't think they will, how
ever.
"Mr. Wanamaker is posing as a re-
former now because he thinks that's
a good way to dethrone QUAY and
make his way to a seat in the United
States senate. No man in PennsylVa-
mia has done more than Mr.. Wanna
maker to dcbauch politics AMI those
who have been in close touch with
politics of this state for ten years know
| that this is true.
He is trying to carry water on
| both shoulders in this campaign. In
all of his speeches ne is very careful
to declare that he is a Republican and
always has been and is merely engaged
in the disagreeable task of roofing
bad spots out of the party. Why does
he talk in that strain? Merely to keep
his political record straight. He wants
| to create all the mischief ne can but
| keep inside the party breastworks
| himself. If he doesn't vote for Colonel
| Stone for governor l will miss my
| guess.
1T would be embarrassing for Mr..
| Wanamaker to go before a Republican
| legislature and ask to be sent to the
United States senate if it should ap-
pear that he had voted against the
candidates of his party. That accounts
for his feverish desire TO keep within
| party lines and by raising the stand
ard of revolt overthrow the man be
| believes stands between MIN and posi-
| tion and power
Mr.. Wanamaker believes that Penn
sylvania Republicans ought to have O
new leader and he is anxious that John
| Wanamaker be the man"

individual property holder pays on the

UNUSUALLY SERIOUS.
The coming election he characterized
as an unusually serious affair and adj
monished every man to do his full
duty, as n member of this great CO.
partnership.
Republicanism. he said, had some
principles tending to the good of the
common people, but Quayism, which
now embraces the Republican party of
Pennsylvania, is solely self-seeking.
He would not charge Quay with any
dishonesty, he said, because he had no
evidence against him. He would say,
however. that in the last legislature
laws were held up" until 1t was seen
what the old man thought of them"
How 1t was possible for Quay to have
profited from this suspension of legls-
latlun was then explained at length by
the speaker. The right of suffrage Is
sheer nonsense while this kind OF thing
is going on. he declared.
His only direct reference to the bolt
ing Republicans was a remark that a
third of the party was in revolt and
while they may be selfish, they are
very much in earnest.
After telling his hearers that it was
their duty to vote for him, he concluded
by saying: do your duty, and you
will be freemen within year; fail and
ola nf a
conscienceless as Satan is"
sOWDEN'S REMARKS.
Mr.. Sowden. after removing his col
lar and tie and loosening up his shirt
front, all of which provoked a cheer,
proceeded to show how the Democrats
win i'm this state every eight years and
that their last victory being in 1890,
they were due to win this year. He
made comparisons of Pattisons admin
istration eight years ago with the pres
ent administration, regarding the eX-
penses of government, and then dealt
out a lot of Swallow thunder in quite
as forCible a manner as does the doctor
| himself.
Colonel Stone, at Williams Grove,
said the Republican party should not
be held responsible for all laws that
We're introduced at the last session, it
being enough to hold it to account for
such laws as were passed. said Mr..
Sowden. Governor Hastings, in Phila-
delphia, said that the recent Legislature
passed the most obnoxious and Oppres-
sive of laws and he, the governor in
| terposed a veto in one hundred and
| ninety-three of them"
| In concluding, he paid fitting trib-
| ute to Captain DeLacy and his record
as soldier and citizen, which met with
| hearty applause.
The last speaker of the evening was
| Hon. Peter J. Hughes, of Philadelphia,
the man who seconded the nomination
| of Captain DeLacy at Altoona. Owing
to the lateness of the hour he spoke for
| less than ten minutes. He maintained
| that if the Democrats get out theil
normal vote in Pennsylvania this year
! they will win.

At the meeting of the select council
last night the Keller ordinance for re-
pairing the asphalt paved streets of
the city was restored to it's original
shape and passed on third reading. 1t
Is ready for the mayors signature.
At the last meeting of the select,
when the ordinance came over from
the common a number of amendments
were offered by John l.. Roche, which,
he said. would tend to make the pro-
visions of the ordinance more clear
and render it less likely to have holes
punched in 1t by astute lawyers.
George Sanderson last night moved
to reconsider action on the amend
ments made at the previous meeting
by Mr.. Roche, and this suggestion was
carried out. Mr. Roche said he Of
fered the amendments in good faith
because he believed they would
improve the ordinance. He be-
lieves so yet but 1t was suggested to
him that his action might cause Il de-
lay in making the necessary repairs
and he was therefore willing that his
amendments should be reconsidered
and the ordinance returned to the form
in which ii was drafted by Mr. Keller
He said he had only offered his amend
ments after submitting them to George
Sanderson and j. A. Lansing. who had
approved of them. Mr. Lansing said
that in his opinion, the ordinance was
improved by the Roche amendments,
and that the conduct of that gentle
man in connection with the street re-
pairs was worthy of commendation.
ACTION RECONSTRUCTED.
Council reConsidered its action on all
of the Roche amendments and then It
came up on third reading and was
passed after Mr.. O'Boyle hau made
an unavailing effort to have the speci-
ficatiOns changed. 1t was decided that
such change could only be made by a
separate resolution or by council 60
ing into committee of the whole
After the ordinance was passed Mr..
O'Boyle introduced a resolution to the
effect that each bidder for the repair
of the pavements give the city engineer
| a sample of asphalt to be used and q
certificate of the company from whom
1t was obtained. Mr.. McAndrew in
troduced a resolution instructing the
city engineer to change specifications
to the effect that the streets be re-
paired by Standard asphalt. Both res
olutions passed.
The following resolution was offered
| by w. NJ. Finn and adopted:
Whereas, Some scandalous assertions
| have been publicly made i'm regard to city
| officials sharing the awards of damages
| received from the city.
| Resolved, That a committee of three be
! appointed by the chair to investigate the
| matter.
The committee named was W. NJ.
! Finn, j. A. Lansing and Robert Robin
| son.
The sewers and drains committee re-
ported resolution awarding n con-
tract to V. II. O'Hara for constructing
the Stipp court sewer 1t was approved.
The same committee also reported a
resolution directing the city engineer
to prepare plah- for a sewer TO drain
| the territory lying north of Deacon
street and that portion of Deacon
street lying between Sections A and
b of the Sixth sewer district. This
also passed.
