The Great Reform Movement.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
With three or four exceptions all the
Republican primaries remaining will be
held this week. The result in most Of lbe
connties, judging from the sentiment all
over the State, is foregone conclusion
Colonel William A. Stone will receive
large majority OF the delegates and will
thus add to his strength in the State Con-
vention. He has fairly won his nomina-
ton, and nothing but the most outrageous
throttling of the Republican party can
prevent his success. The Republican
wreekers who train with the Vast Move
ment led by Blankenburg, Van Nalken-
berg, Leach, Martin, Magee & Co, are
anxious TO do the throtding and have
been using all their influence TO drive
Senator Quay from his position of keep
ing hands off into one OF supreme boss
ism. They will not succeed. They have
gone before the people through their ora
tors with bitter speeches, irresponsible
charges and vencmous hatred of all Re
publicans who are not in sympathy with
political hypocrisy, aud they have been
overwhelmingly beaten. To urge Quay
10 take the party by the throat and de-
nand of him that he shall betray the Re
publican voters is the very highest Of po-
litical insolenco.
Here and there the semblance of a fight
is being kept up. In Tiogs county, for
instance, there is queer contest on hand
Not even the Blankenburgers have had
| the temerity 10 declare openly against
Stone, for he was born there and the peo-
pie know him, but the Blankenburg Com
Diners insist on naming their own dele
gates. If they cannot defeat Stone they
al least want to belittle him aud capture
the county for their own purposes Ii
would be a mistake to give them even
this satisfaction. Mugwumps, boilers and
slanderers of the Republican party are
not held in very general esteem in these
days when the administration at Wash
ington needs the support Of all genuine
Republicans.

CURIOUS, isn't ii, that the band OfsOme
dozen of Somerset cOunty's disgrun-
tle1 Republicans who travelled TO Phil
adelphia for the purpose of asking John
Wanamaker to stand as candidate for
the gubernatOrial nomination have not
induced the millionaire merchant TO
include Somerset county in his speech
making tour. William II. Koontz is
the head of the Wanamaker campaign
committee, and Wanamaker has placed
himself in a position to lead an indie
pendent revolt this fall, declaring that
he can not get out of the race without
the consent Of the parties who placed
him in nomination. Itsis apparent
that the local Wanamaker leaders are
unwilling TO have their position put
before the people by their chief, hoping
20 deceive the voters thereby.

speech.
When Director William III. KOontz
desires to journey from Somerset to the
city on the Sabbath he rides on a
special train provided for his accom-
mediation by the great corporation
whose paid servant ne has been for a
number of years, and whose interests
he jealously guards in the courts of
Somerset county. Would the interests
of the farmers and shippers of Somer-
set county be safe in the hands of this
devoted friend Of the corporations {?
Would Mr.. KoOntz, who rides on a
pass, vote in favor of reducing the
passenger mileage? Would he vote in
favor of reducing freight charges in
order that the farmers and lumber
men of this county can compete in the
markets of the country? His past
record is the best answer.

THERE is less talk Of European inter
vention to end the Spanish war than
was heard few days ago. OF course,
if the intervention occurs, it will take
the form Of pressure on Spain to force
her to give up the fight. No European
nation will interfere with the United
States. The only way in which Europe
can bring the war to an end at the pres
ent iuncture is to coerce Spain to sur
render, and Europe is not likely to at
tempt this until after the next Ameri-
can victory. 1t would be rather incon-
venient for the United States to have
Spain give up until after We capture
Porto Rico. We probably would have
to take Porto Rico from Spain in some
subsequent war if she should sue for
peace now before we make an assault
on that island Therefore, after her
Fl ret on this side of the water is cap
tured or sunk we must Immediately
capture Porto Rico, so as to get il be-
fore Spain's collapse takes place.
Spain's authority in Cuba is lost even
if the war should end to-day, but we
want to prevent her from starting an
other Cuban complication near our
shores, which might cause a war a year
or ten years hence.

THERE is a growing belief through
out the State that John Wanamaker
will be an independent candidate for
governor, and the Philadelphia Times
takes the following view Of the situa-
ton: "We speak only from the stand
point of the logic Of events when we
assume that if Colonel Stone shall be
nominated for governor, Mr.. Wauama-
ker will be compelled to take the field
against him. It is not now a question
for Mr.. Wanamaker to decide for him
self. He did not make himself can
didate, and when he accepted a call to
take the field as the chosen representa-
tive of the Republican elements which
demand a different political dOmina-
ton in the State, be placed himself in
a position TO make it a fight to a finish.
He has bravely maintained the attitude
he assumed, and unless all present in
dications are at fault, the nomination
Of Colonel Stone must mean two Re

TAE factional friends of General"
William II. Koontz, seeing certain de
feat staring them in the face, are max
ing frantic claims of the large vote he
will poll in different parts Of the county.
Reports received from conservative and
reliable parties, without regard to fac
ton, warrant the assertion that the
claims made in behalf of Mr.. KOontz
are not borne out by the facts, while
from the same sources of information
it is learned that Mr.. KOOntz is deci-
dedly one of the weakest legislative
candidates on the ticket. The defeat
of ''GeneraW KoOntz is practically as
sured, and the Republican voters of the
county, who are mindful of their best
interests and opposed TO corporate pow
er, will see that he is overwhelmingly
defeated. Nothing but the lavish use
Of "abhorrent and forbidden forces"
can save the Generals" bacon.

The great combination of capital. real-
izing the power Of organization, disci-
pline and concerted energy, have mus
tered in and equipped great armies of
talent and genius, such as money can al
ways command. On the principle that
might makes right and that they are en-
titled to all privileges that can be OBJ
tained through legislation. by fair means
or foul. they have waged an uneeasing
war against the people. A lOng-cOutin-
ued series Of victories has made them
thirsty for more. Continued success in
their schemes has intoxicated them, and
they are arrogant and defiant. Conscious
of their strength, they proclaim by word
and deed their mastery over the people.
The masses. great unorgaBized and un-
disciplined force, can not maintain such
an unequal war Notably in the oil re-
gions Of our State they have been forced
from one retreat 10 another, their lands
have been taken from them and their
homes covered with mortgages, FOR the
benefit of corporations. The people
gather their recruits from all the walks
of life; honest men, but with no expert
ence with political bunco-steerers, and,
totally ignorant that corporation conf

bodies and 10 break down the good resO-

In view Of the above direfdl picture
painted by the great millionaire merch-
ant. how can his advocates in this county

always at the disposal Of the powerful
railroad corporation and against the
struggling and oppressed farmers and
laboring men OF the county2

The 'fake" journal published in this
town, the personal mouth-piece of
General" W. II. KOontz, in its last
issue accuses us of trying to besmirch
the Generals" Republicanism.
Well, let US take a glimpse at the
Generals" record as q Republican.
After running the gamut of county
offices from Commissioners clerk to
ProthOnotary, and after having had
two terms in the National Congress as
Republican, the General" APP
parently thinking that there was moth
ing more to be had in the way Of office
from the old party, like the scriptural
OK "waxed fat and kicked"
In 1882 he raised the black flag,
headed party revolt in the county,
and lent his best efforts to defeat the
Republican candidate for Governor,
the MANNED soldier, General Beaver.
Will the "GeneraF' OF his fake organ
deny this statement q?
VIII they deny that in 1886 he parti-
cipated in the Republican primaries
and failing to defeat Mr.. Scull for the
Congressional nomination he openly
opposed his election in the fail?
Will they deny that be voted against
the regular Republican nominee for
Congress in 1sSS?
Will they deny that he participated
in the Republican primaries in 1890
and again failing to defeat Mr.. Scull
for the Congressional nomination he
aud his political friends joined with the
Democrats in the fall and voted and
worked for the Democratic Congress
sional nominee?
VIII they deny that in the fall of
1880 he opposed the election of the Re
publican candidate for Governor and
advised his friends to vote for the
Democratic nominee.
VIII they deny that in the fall of
1896 he and his friends supported
Joseph f. Thropp for Congress, thus
directly aiding an attempt to elect a
| free silver Democrat?
Talk of "besmirching the Republi-
canism" OF man with a political
record like this? The wonder is that
any man whose Republicanism has
been so foully besmirched would have
the temerity to offer himself as can
didate on the Republican ticket and
ask loyal and conscientious Republi-
cans for their support.

IN vain effort to save him from a
just chastisement at the hands of the
loyal Republicans of the county Gen
eral" KOontz's clackers are trying to
create the impression in the south of
the county that the north of the
county is practically unanimous for
him, and in the north that he will
receive more votes than all of the other
candidates put together in the south.
The truth is that there are at least
three candidates on the legislative
ticket who are stronger than "Gener-
al'' KOontz and the sentiment of the
county will have to undergo a great
change between this and Saturday if
he is not badly defeated rs he well de-
serves TO be.
