Committee on Conference.


The first Of the these letters develors
a combination between the men wh0
started the combine fight and the mil
lionaire cOnspirators and would be
bosses.
These men fear the light Of day and
the treatment they would receive from
the rank and file of the Republican
PARTY if they went fairly and openly
10 the polls in the counties of the state.
Instead Of being followers Of some
fair honest Republican who is willing
, 10 submit his candidacy to the people
pt the primaries and in the county con-
tentions throughout Pennsylvania they
meet in the secrecy OF their parlors and
Offices and plot to overthrow Republi-
can control They select some person
OF their own type for senator. governor
and the other coming vacancies. and
then send forth call to a ccrporaTs
guard Of agitators. professional kick
ers and disgsuntled officeseekers 10 en-
dorse this Tnongrel ticket. born through
the CaesaIian method. and seek by its
aid TO eleCt the silver Democratic nom
inees.
1t Is currently reported that the
scheme which viii be carried out at the
meeting q the millionaire conspirators
on Feb. ? IS already cut and dried. The
syndicate win name an independent
candidate for governor, and the sug-
ges.ion OF these gentlemen who hold
the money bags viii OF course be ac-
eepted by the small fry at the meeting.
and they VIII then proceed to appoint a
committee to draft letter TO the can
didate. telling him of their action and
asking him foE his consent to run as
their candidate. After he has over
come the first shock of surprise which
such letter win occasion him he will
proceed promptly to accept. and pro-
mulgate letter Tor general publication
protesting against everything that is
In existence and promising a sorts
Of reforms and changes which he
knows he can never carry oft. but
which he thinks may serve TO get votes.
Aided by his millionaire hackers in
Philadelphia he viii then proceed to
his real purpose OF endeayoring to de-
feat the reeu ar Republican nominees
by taking votes away from then, and
ensbh1g the Bryan free silver Demo-
Gratis to elect their state ticket.
This is food for thought for the Re-
pubiicans Of Pennsylvania. who gave
William Mckinley a majority OF &c.,
GOO. Mr. McKin'ey's administration has
been denounced by Mr.. wanamaker in
public interviews. and his appointments
IN Pennsylvania have been condemned
by the officers and committees of the
Business LIENS League. and their mo-
tive in seeking TO drag down Republi-
can rule IL the state and nation is self
evident to every thinking man.
The second letter evolved by the
league Is the most audacIous declara-
ton Of an attempt to pIllage the COM
monweaith as they have piundered the
city OF Philadelphia thai even these
men have so far attempted Their at
tempt 10 raise scare by an allusion to
hncsher 'Deiamater campaign" Is pe-
euheriy entertaining In view OF the
fact that the nomination OF Mr. Della.
iaaier was brought about by demand
signed BY more than 200 business men
In the city of Philadelphia. Among tbs
fret names on the list are those Of
Thomas Dolen. Isaac II Clothier and
William Folwsu. all prominent and ac-
tive members % the Business Mems
League. In the Philadelphia daily
papers OF the same daie GJuae Il. iSsO
appears an interview With Postmaster
General Nanamaker. IN which he de-
clares positively: THERE Is NO
