JENKs PRESENTS his VIEWS.

The committee appointed by
State Chairman, John NJ. Garman,
to notify the Democratic candidates
of the action of the Altoona conven-
ton which placed them in the field,
met at Bedford Springs, Pa, last
week. Ii was notable gathering
of the leading democrats of the
State. Dewitt c. Dewitt of Brad
ford, presided over the meeting. He
stated that several eastern papers
had intimated that the work of the
Altoona convention had been in
ttuenced by Senator Quay. He
vigorously denied all the charges.
Our purpose" said the chairman,
is to reform in state government.
We expect through Mr.. Jerks to
redeem the state from fraud, cor
ruption and Quayism.
CANDIDATE JENKs' REPLY.
Candidate jerks, in replying to
the Notification Committee, said:
To be named by my fellow citi-
zens of the Democracy of Pennsyl-
vania for the Governorslip of the
State is testimonial of confidence
and goodwill for which 1 tender
my grateful acknowledgement. In
doing this I do not overlook the
fact thai the true import of a nomi-
nation worthy of either convention
or nominee abides not in personal
compliment, but must rest in some
useful public purpose to be promo.
ted by it. Did unquestioned fdel-
ity to official duty mark every de-
partment of the public service of
the State the trust committed to me
by this nomination would still be
attended by the most solemn obli-
cation, but coming, as it does, in
the present juncture of the public
affairs of our Commonwealth, l am
profoundly impressed by the respon-
sibilities it imposes and the duties
it enjoins. The declaration of prin-
ciples and purposes adopted by the
convention is direct and explicit.
That Statement of doctrine and its
demands officially informs the elect
ors of the state of the principles of
action that shall govern the fiomi-
nees OF the convention if intrusted
with official power. Neither the
necessities of the case nor the pro-
prieties of the occasion require at
this time detailed discussion of the
issues submitted by the convention
to the intelligence and patriotism of
the people, Suffice it to say that
the voter of whatever party affilia-
tion will study the provisions of the
platform in vain for any declarations
of principle or purpose which would
not if carried into execution, pro-
mote pure government and good
citizenship.
While deferring extended discus
sion of specific issues, l deem it ex-
pedient and opportune to here note
certain considerations preliminary
and elementary, to the contest into
which we are about to enter. The
people, in whom is originally vested
the supreme sovereignty, have dis
tributed to the federal government
all international and inter state pow
ers, with the duties corresponding
Herewith and necessarily implied
therefrom. They have confded to
