They Don't Like Mitchell Now
Philadelphia Inquire

'HSi ooiih l. hitneli WAS named the
other day as the candidate for the
vacancy on the Superior Court bench
he was praised by the organs of the
insurgents and the organs of the assis-
tant Democratic newspapers generally
as fair man and an ornament to the
bench. These assistant Democrats
don't like Judge Mitchell now as we'll
as they did. They expect him. we
suppose, to vote for Greasy and praise
the horoism of Aguinaldo, and to find
in this campaign only a State issue.
Judge Mitchelps letter of acceptance
does not give these State issue gentle
men much comfort Some of the
points he makes are so telling that
special attention should be directed to
them. He says, for instance:
am radical Republican, and so long as NV
party adheres to its fundamental principles I
shall stand steadfastly by it at the polls VIII en-.
ever ITS supremacy in the State or Nation is at
stake regard this as a conscientious duty, for
false ballot in such case is an assault upon
the integrity of popular government.
A real Republican is the last man on
earth for these insurgents and assistant
Democratic organs to take to kindly.
If Judge Mitchell had only come out
with fling at the Republican ticket or
finely rounded sentence or two rele-
eating national affairs to the back
ground he would to-day be highly in
favor, but he does not agree at all with
these gentlemen who would overthrow
Colonel Barnett and place the disciple of
MIR. Bryan in the State Treasury. Re-
publican victory is needed, according
to him, for he says:
In these eVentful times consider the continued
supremacy of the Republican party in State and
Nation essential to the welfare of all the people
under the sovereignty of the United States.
Therefore, cannot allow any voter to be misled
in voting for me upon the false assumption that
am not loyal to the party of my choice in the up
holding of State and National administra-
tions. believe them to be honestly and faith
fully devoted to all of the most important princi-
pies of public policy supported by the party from
the beginning down to this time.
Judge Mitchell has not much use for
the Democratic party. The time for
| these Democrats to discuss our Spanish
possessions, he thinks, is after the
| authority o. this Nation has BEEN COM
pletely enforced. He is willing to
trust this matter in the hands of Presi-
dent Mckinley, but is very unwilling
to intrust it or the money question to
Democratic President Consequently
he considers the elections on next
Tuesday to be highly important, for
| they must have a potential influence
| upon the Presidential election. He
adds:
| Surely no true Republican can be willing to
intrust these affairs to the Democratic party as
| now constituted and controlled. Therefore, if |
were in no wise connected with the party a
| candidate, would vote for Colonel Barnett and
the entire Republican ticket at the next election
regardless of any factional differences within the
party. And could not vote with any party that
| may propose to haul down the American flag
| wheresoeger it has been planted under the
| sovereignty of this Nation.
These are the words of true patriot,
| and we recommend them to thought
| full consideration OF every voter in
Pennsylvania. The Judge is very
careful to say that so far as the admin
istration of justice is concerned the
question of politics cannot enter into
| it, but nevertheless he thinks it is only
right and proper that when candi-
date is before the people the people are
entitled to that candidates views, and
so he gives them.
| Our Democratic and insurgent
friends are not getting much comfort
out of this campaign. 1t is not much
of year in Pennsylvania for men who
would tear down the party that sup
ports the wise and patriotic admins
| tration of President Mckinley.
