MARTINS SPEECH,

Secretary of the Commonwealth
Martin, who was nominated for the
state senate, made significant speech
of acceptance in the course Of which
he said:
II have felt for several years that I
would not take any nomination for
public Office, but when the crusade
was made on me by the senate of 1895.
which threatened to drive me out of
politics and ruin my reputation, the
thought came into my mind that there
would be chance for me some day
to strike back, and l promise that if
elected l will, on the floor of the SEN
ate, and in the presence of some of the
men who tried to ruin my character
and reputation fling back into their
teeth the scandal that they tried to
heap on me.
II will, If elected, be in a position to
prevent any dollar marks being placed
on me or any friend of mine without
cause. and show to the citizens of my
native city that a politician can be as
honest as any other man.
II will vote and work for the good
of the whole people, and l desire to
impress on the minds or the delegates
In this convention that | am a Repub-
1ican, and will vote with my party on
all party questions. l am not pledged
to any one for any place and will make
no promise until after l am sworn in
as a senator at Harrisburg. I will not
vote to cut down the school appro-
priations: ! will not vote to pay the
expenses of the LeXow committee;
will not vote for any of the expendi-
ture bills that were vetoed by that
honest governor now at Harrisburg.
nor will I vote for any of the bills that
were passed by the last legislature and
vetoed by Governor Hastings"
The liveliest fight of the day was
for the senatorial nomination from the
Fourth district. where j. Bayard
Henry, on an aggressive anti-Quay
platform, defeated Harry u. Beaston
by a vote of 104 to 80. Mr.. Henry will
succeed G. Wesley Thomas, a strong
Quay man. who is now collector of the
port.
There was another close contest be-

The Children.

The busy business man finds little
time to devote to the training of his
children. This lie q sad and q fatal
error. Business Is important. Food
and clothing must be provided, books
and schooling are essential, but the
personal attention of the father to his
children is Fundamental to their well
fare. Nor must this attention be su-
perficial and spasmodic; it must be
heartfelt and daily. The father must
make his love felt by reason of ten
der social intercourse--an interest in
their likes and dislikes, their joys and
sorrows, their tasks and their plays.
Better, thousand times better, do a
little less business and accumulate a
little less money and bless the world
by giving to it a manly boy or a
womanly girl, reared in q we'll
ordered, lovely christian home, than
TO accumulate vast fortune and let
the children, whom God has given
you to be blessing to you, and
through you to the world, become
physical, social and moral wrecks be-
cause of parental neglect of them for
the sake OF attending to business.

The Coming Political Issues.

When the time comes to deal with

realignments may be expected. 1t
will be found then. that the fundamen-

divide will be to hold or not to hold
the islands in our possession. 1t will
be an issue of international and ex-
pansive liberalism against extreme
and congestive domestic conservatism.
