MR.. WRIGHT ANSWERED.
Congressman Connell Explains That
the Pension Claims Accredited
to Him by the Truth Cannot
Be Other Than Genuine.

Last week the Trlkh printed a list
of the pensions that had been secured
by Congressman Connell so far in his
first term, accompanying it with a
very complimentary comment on Mr..
Connelrs success i'm this regard. Two
days after the appearance of the Truth
article the Times induced eX-Alderman
o. b. Wright to say that great many
of the pensions which Congressman
Connell was accredited with having
secured were secured by him, the cX-
alderman.
Congressman Connell was not dis
posed to dignity the article with pub
lie reply and would not if it were
merely political campaign matter,
but feeling a particular pride in his
labors in this direction he deemed it
only just to himself to authorize the
following statement
THE list of pension claims granted
as published in the Truth was copied
from book in which l had entered
them as notice of their granting was
received. A notice like the following
which was forwarded me from Wash
ington yesterday was received in ev-
cry instance.
Certificate Division, Department of the
Interior, Bureau of Pensions.
Washington, d. c., Oct. q, 1895.
Sir: | have the honor to inform YOU
that the claim of Henry Sigln, of 1902
Pittston avenue, Scranton, Pa, for in
creased pension has been allowed at S.
per month, from Sept, Z, 1895 and that
certificate No SSI,j74 will this day be
forwarded to the pension agent at Pail
adelphia, for transmittal to the PEN
sioner, with voucher for payment.
As you have called up this case by let
ters of inquiry l deem it but courteous to
inform you of this action. Very respect
fully, IL. Clay Evans,
Commissioner.

Representatives.
1t is quite possible that CX-Aldcrman
Wright, like the other pension claim
agents acted as scriVener for the ap-
plicant at SO much per "scrv.' Al

MATTERS AT ISSUE.

Congressman Comell, in his address,
argued for the removal of pcrsonali-
ties from politics. The matters at is
sue in this election are above and be-
yOnd Stone or swallow, Quay or Wan
amaker, jerks or anybody else, he
said. 1t is not good politics and it
surely is not fair to condemn man
who stands for all that the great Re
publican party represents, just because
he happens to have the friendship
and support of a man whom you do
not like.
Having said this much, Mr.. Connell
thought it only fair to say as regards
MIR. Quay, that be he what he may,
he the speaker, in all his dealings with
Pennsylvania great political leader,
had never heard him make even
suggestion of anything that wasn't
fair, honest and manly.

At Alliance hall in Justus IN the

Among its features was the attend

MIR. LEACH REPLIED.
When Mr.. Schoch and Attorney
George y. Taylor, the Republican
, speaker, had concluded the chairman,
f. f. Taylor, noticing Mr.. Leach in
the hall, proffercd him the privilege
of the platform. He accepted with
alacrity and taking off his coat pitch
ed into Mr.. Schoch for insulting the
intelligence of his audience by saying
that the Republican tax system had
benefited the farmers and that the
last Legislature had done anything of
benefit to the WGrkingmen.

-Four rousing Republican mass meet
ings were held Saturday, at Dunmore,
Justus, Tonp pkinsvillc aud Moosic.
Each was well attended and the senti-
ment displayed was most gratifying TO
the campaign managers.
At Dunmore the meeting place. odd
Fellows hall. was crowded to the doors
and the enthusiasm that greeted the
speakers, particularly the candidates,
was of the most emphatic and hearty
kind.
Colonel W. II. Fairless, of Virginia,
was the principal speaker of the even
ing. He spoke generally of the ma
tiOnal politics, showing the interde-
pendcncy of state and federal issues
and pointed out particularly how the
election in this state was of such inn
portanCc from a national standpoint
at this present time.
The only we'll defined issues that
could be termed state issues pure and
simple are, as far as he could find,
from a careful view of the situation
a raft of purely personal matters. In
this connection he said he never saw
a man take the position that John
WanamallCr now assumes--a traitor
to his party-that did not come to grief
in the end.

That "opEI DOOR" pOrTCT.
The "open door policy which the
United States proposes to adopt for
the Philippines when they pass into
her possession coutemplates the estnb-
lishment OF tariff law universal in
its application to all countries, includ-
ing the United States.
Just how the United States propose
to bridge over the constitutional pro-
vision which declares that no duties
shall be levied and collected upon the
products Of one state coming into an
other state is not quite clear. When
the islands are transferred 10 the
Y nited States aud become part of her
possessions this constitutional pro-
vision viii apply to them with the
same force of law that it does to the
present states and territories.
The genius and spirit Of our form OF
government will not allow the United
States to hold the islands as provinces
or dependencies, as practieed by the
European governments. They are ter
ritorial acquisitions over which the
laws and government Of this country
have been extended, and therefore are
entitled under the constitution to the
same quality of treatment as the pres
ent states and territories. Just how
Uncle Sam can enforce the collection
of tariff duties on the products Of tn,
islands coming to this country, or the
products Of the United States going Il
these islands, is not outlined in tn,
