Ii is the habit Of the Democratic orators
and their assistant Mugwump bawlers on
the political hustings to point with a great
deal of satisfaction to what they say is the
great and growing discomfort of certain
Republican leaders in the larger cities,
and assert that these leaders win not sup
port the Republican State ticket. Chief
of those who the Democrats and Mug
wumps say are not for the Republi-
can ticket are Senator c. L. Magee, of
Pittsburg. one of the most astute politi-
clans in the State, whose wisdom and
foresight have time and again been prov
ed, and Secretary of the Commonwealth
David Martin, of Philadelphia, whose pO-
litical knowledge in this State is unsur-
passed. Il has been the delight of the
Democratic newspapers to print stories to
the effect that both Senator Magee and
Mr.. Martin are fighting the State ticket
tooth and nail, and freely predict its de-
feat. There is not a word of truth in the
statement. Senator Magee has not only
taken off his coat to work for the State
ticket, but he has asked all oft Repub-
licans Of Allegheny county to do the same.
At the recent meeting of the Republican
State League in Pittsburg, one of the
most conspicuous men on the platform
WAS Senator Msgee. and he sat beside Col.
William A. Stone. When called upon for
speech, Senator Magee, among other
things, said:
"As between the Democratic candidate
for Governor, who during the war of the
rebellion was a Bourbon Democrat, op-
posing every war measure Of the Lincoln
administration, and who now opposes q
sound currency for the people of this
country, and the Republican candidate,
who favors sound money, and who, as s
boy in the eos donned the blue, shoul-
dered a musket and risked his life that
this Government of the people, by the
people and for the people should not per-
ish fIOm the earth, there is bat one choice
and that is to vote for the Republican
candidate"
IL there is any Democrat in this State
who can gather sny consolation from
those stirring and hearty remarks IF Sen
ator Msgee, he is very much welcome to
that consolation. But how about Secre-
tary Martin? Recently the Republicans
OF his Senatorial district in Philadelphia
paid him the honor of giving him a unan-
imous nomination for State Senator, and
he was taken before the convention 10
L. 49, IL. 49,.
honor paid him by the people with whom
he had lived all his life. thanked them,
and then gave them this good advice:
zone word in conclusion: desire you
to go back to the people in your wards
and divisions and say to them that your
nominee is a Republican, and never fal-
tered in the duties he owed to his party,
and that the banner you placed in bis
hands will be carried by him in triumph,
not only for himself but for the entire
Republican ticket nominated to-day in
the various conventions and for the State
ticket nominated at Harrisburg in June
lsst'
And where is the CONSOLATION for Demo-
Gratis in these manly words from Secretary
Martin?
The leaders of the Republican party
the real leaders, the men who year in and
year out stand up and fight the common
Democratic and Mugwump enemy, are
for Col. William A. Stone and the whole
Republican ticket, and when the votes
are counted on election night it will be
seen that the Democrats who expected
Senator Msgee in Allegheny and Secre-
tary Martin in Philadelphia to aid them,
viii be very badly fooled. They are Re-
pnblicans. and they are supporting the
ticket Let every Republican in the State
stand up for the ticket, and it will be
elected by majority as large as that
given President Mckinley two years ago.
