WANAMAKER's CONVERSION.
From the Honesdale Citizen.

From the Honesdale Citizen.
For long time Mr. Wanamaker was
co-worker with Quay, practically a part
of the Quay machine, a contributor to Its
resources, and in a striking manner its
beneficiary. In 1883, when Quay was
chairman of the Republican national COM
mittce, Mr.. Wanamaker raised from his
own means and among his friends the
largest campaign fund ever collected by
single person. and placed it in Quays
hands. When, a few months afterward
Mr.. Wanamaker was appointed postmas-
ter general, some of those who are now
patting him on the back, in his anti-Quay
crusade, denounced the appointment as
having been purchased by the contribu-
ton of vast campaign corruption fund.
No trace of opposition to the Quay ma
chine, on the part of Mr.. Wanamaker, Is
to be found until the senatorial canvass
that resulted in the election of Penrosc
instead of Wanamaker to the United
States senate. Not even in the cam
paign against Quay in 1895. led by Cover
nor Hastings, did Mr. Wanamaker hit up
his voice against the Quay machine.
But his own OK having been gored, MIR.
Wanamaker has suddenly become very
much alive to the evil wrought by the
Quay machine. And even as there is JOY

longer able to make It serve his own am
bilious purposes, solemnly renounces the
Quay machine and all it's works, comes
out from among the machine managers
with whom he aforetime corsorted. walks
no more in the counsel of the boss. and

COLONEL STONES PLATFORM.

1t will be my purpose when elected 70
80 conduct myself as to win the respect
and good will of those who have opposed
me as well as those who have given me
their support. I shall be the governor
of the whole peopls Of the state. Abuses
have undoubtedly grown UP in the legis'
lature which are neither the fault OF one
party nor the other. but rather me
growth Of custom. Unnecessary inVcsl-
cations have been authorized by commit
tees, resulting in unnecessary expense to
the state. 1t will be my care and pur-
pose to correct these and other evils IN so
far as ] have the power. 1t Will be my
purpose while governor of Pennsylvania,
as it has been my purpose in the public
positions that l have held, with God s
help. to discharge my whole duty. The
people are greater than the parties 20
which they belong. l am only jealous OF
their favor. / shall only attempt to win
their approval and my experience has
taught me that that can best be done by
an honest. modest, daily discharge OF
public duty.
