IN THE recent speeches of Mr.. John
Wanamaker there are frequent allu-
sions to the political corruption exist
ing in Philadelphia, for all of which
that gentleman tries to lay the blame at
the door of Senator Quay. Not one
word about the corrupt management OF
political affairs by Mr.. David Martin,
who has ben the recognized leader in
Philadelphia Republican politics for
years, and all because Mr.. Wanamaker
thinks that Mr.. Martin is supporting
his candidacy for governor. 1t makes
much difference whose OK is being
rored.

me. him at the Lochiel hotel a few days
ago and rendered him the independent
nomination for Governor. The doctor
did not give definite answer, but was
evidently pleased. He promised to
make known his intentions in few
days
1t is our belief that DIR. Swallow will
be a candidate and will probably be
supported by several organizations.
Nevertheless we do not expect him to
poll anything like the vote ne did last
year. He is not a man to wear well,
being full of v8garies and lacking the
solid qualities that belong 10 a man OF
real strength. Many of his statements
made for the purpose of obtaining sup
port are wild and founded largely on
rumor. When he comes before the
people a second time the political bub-
bic on which he rode around so gaily
last year, will be prieked, and will re-
turn to its natural size, which is very
small.

THAT small coterie of Philadelphia
millionaires who are running Mr.. John
Wanamaker for governor have had
considerable trouble in determining
upon name for their new party. ORR
ginaIly they styled themselves the
Business Mems League" but when
they found that the legions of business
men over the State could not BE- hood
winked they sought another name,
and, at the Bourse meeting, presided
over by the veteran General Koontz,
they adopted the name of Republican
Taxpayers URion," and under this
banner went forth to do battle against
the regular Republican hosts. The
first engagement occurred in Lancaster
county and resulted so disastrously for
the Taxpayers Unionists" that they
hastened to once more change their
name, and, at a recent meeting OF
siGeneraF' KoOntz's State committee
the name of Republican Union OF
Pennsylvania" was adopted. This
name may be adhered to until after the
November election, when it is likely Ia
be changed TO that of Dennis" OF

Since the President received on Thurs
day night SPANS answer to his PROPOSE
