The State Campaign.


reformation, and those who resort to
such weapons are pretty certain to be
overwhelmed in disastrous defeat
Bryn Mawr News.
Under the circumstances, we do know
that Republicans in Pennsylvania need
not feel very much cut up over the
move 1t is grist to their mill, and they
can use it, even though they would
prefer that such personal attacks should
be eliminated from all political con-
tests. s.-Pittston Gazette.
Detraction loves a shining mark
the more prominent the man the great
er the danger ofinjustice if no restraint
is imposed by public opinion upon
methods of assault upon him. DR.
Swallow in his campaign has resorted
to tactics which men who do not pro-
fess to be other than practical politi-
clans disdain to stoop to.-Wilkes- Barre
Times
No Republican who really loves his
party and who has sense enough to
perceive that this anti-Quay uproar is
merely a Democratic dodge-and
rather ancient one, too-will be deceiv-
ed. The Republican leadership which
has been maigned for a generation by
Democrats and soreheads has made this
country the splendid home of prosper
Gus freeman that it is. The country
is never in trouble save when Demo-
Gratis are in power.-Altoona Tribune.
The Republican candidate for Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania does not need to
give any pledges as to his course after
he is elected. His life is a sufficient
pledge that he will be an honest, cour-
ageous Chief Magistrate. He has de-
veloped these qualities as a member of
the National House of Representatives
and there is no gooG reason for doubt
ing that he will continue to show them
in whatever place he may be called to
fill. Meadville Journal.
No, the Independent Republican fly
will not walk into the Democratic
SPIDERS web so temptipgly spread by
our Philadelphia namesake. Even the
most confirmed anti-Quay Republican
in the State prefers the Republican
machine to Democratic machine
There will be many Republicans in the
next Legislature who will resist the re-
election of Senator Quay. But not one
of them will vote to make Democrat
his successor. Wilkes Barre Record
Public sentiment in this section, ir-
respective of party feeling, has been
very marked and outspoken against
the cnwardly political attack on Sena-
tor Quay in the desperate attempt to
bring upon him the reproach of the
people through sensational lawsuits
Had there been any pure or decent
motive in this prosecution why was it
postponed for six months or more, or
until such time that no trial could be
had until after the lection?-Tionesta
Republican.
This is time for the exercise of good
Judgment and intelligent patriotism.
The Mckinley administration appeals
to the support of all Republicans.
Party control of the United States Sem
ate is a matter of great Importance
That body is so close that single vote
may turn the balance one way or the
other. Will Pennsylvania Republicans
permit their State to be represented for
six years at Washington by a Demo
cratic United States Senator, and he
free trader and free silver man?-Nor-
ristown Herald.
Quay probably has been the worst
maligned man in the State of Penn
sylvani, but he comes out of every at
ldCh Ulidll tNtI Wltl ID6 DtO-
pie. Heretofore he has pursued his
enemies with the courage ofa Napoleon
and has Il judgement against some poor
fool in almost every county of the
State, but not like most of men, when
self vindicated, he lets up on his NAL
igners. This will hardly be the case
this time.-Clearfield Journal.

ton, aided by a Democratic Congress,
the business industries of the country
were completely paralyzed, the times
never were harder. In 1896 the Re-
publicans again succeeded in electing
their president, and as natural result
the country has once again started out
in an era of prosperity. If you desire
to see the business industries of the
country continue to brighten and i'm
prove, vote for Colonel William A.
Stone and his colleagues upon the Re-
publican ticket. Snyder County Tri-
bune.
To hold under cover for over six
months the information OH which Sena-
tor Quay and other gentlemen have
been arrested, and then, on the eve of
an important election, carefully wait
ing until it was impossible to get the
cases into court before election had
come and gone, inaugurate a series of
midnight arrests of whom the service
of summons was of the merest mat
ter of form, makes up combination of
circumstances, which stamps the whole
affair as one of the lowest and most
contemplate political lodges ever at
tempted in any State in the Union.
The whole miserable plot bears the
stamp of the lowest possible grade of
low politics-the kind which measures
character and manhood as nothing
when weighed against possible poli-
tical defeat.-Meadville Tribune.
Notwithstanding the vituperation
that is heaped upon the Republican
party by the disgruntled because de-
feated office-seekers of the Wanamaker
and Kaufman type, who seek to divert
attention from the greater issue by
shouting "Boss Quay" and "the ma
chine" the fact remains that the So
called Republican machine has reduced
the Democratic State debt of over
10000, 900 to trifie oveI 81, 900, 900, re-
lieved real estate from taxation, in
