banks to transfer their liabilities and
obligations to persons financially ire
sponsible. This bill was introduced
by Quay senator, reported favorable
by a Quay committee, passed by a
Quay senate and when called up in tho
house for consideration Mr.. Greasy
pointed out it's defects. and 1t was
killed there and then, and not further
heard from in that session.
In short, Mr.. Greasy bitterly opposed
all schemes to loot the terasury, not
only in special measures, but also in
the general appropriation bill. When
the scheme was concocted by the Quay
machine to cut the school appropria-
ton one million and half each year
Mr.. Greasy headed the opposition, and
by his untiring efforts in the last days
of the session succeeded in defeating
it, much to the discontinue of the
schemers.
QUALITIES AS A REFORM LEADER.
1t was in this session that Farmer"
Creasy's ability as leader was speci-
ally recognized by his colleagues, and
although very modest in his demeanor
and besides very unassuming in char
acter he was nevertheless against his
desire forced to the front and with
commendable skill led the minority in
the house through the mosNurbulent
part of the session with much credit.
In the last Legislature he was given
the honor of the caucus nomination
for speaker by his party and he won
the esteem of his fellow members for
his leadership on the floor and his
struggles for the rights OF the peo-
pie. He was a member of the leglsla-
tive committee OF the State Grange,
and as such represented the farm in
terests on the floor of the house. Here
he championed the tax conference
BILL" which passed the house, and was
in the interest of the real estate own
ers of the commonwealth. In the same
session he served on the standing COM
mittees on ways and means, agricul-
ture, appropriations and health and
sanitation.
In the prolonged contest for United
States senator Mr.. Greasy, was con-
spicuous as one of the leaders to whom
the credit belongs for the noble stand
made by the Democratic legislators
and for the proof given to all independ-
ents that they can proceed in their ef-
forts for the overthrow of Quayism
and the Republican machine with en-
tire confidence In the Democratic
party's integrity CT purpose.

MIR. CREASY'S RECORD.

The Hon. William Trenton Greasy,
Democratic nominee for state treasur-
er, was born Feb. 90. 1856, on the
farm on which he now resides In Cat
awissa township, Columbia county.
He is the son of Nathan Greasy. who
was one of the county's most worthy
and respected citizens. The candi-
dates ancestors were of the earlier
settlers of Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sey, many of them taking an active
part in the war of the revolution, and
afterwards were always active in the
development of their country's inter-
ests.
William Il. Greasy was educated In
the common schools of his neighbor-
hood and the Catawissa academy, and
graduated from the Bloomsbury State
Normal school in 1875. He also re-
ceived, under private tutor, Ger
man education in connection with his
other studies.
AT the age Of 16 he commenced
teaching school, and continued in that
profession for number of years. He
began farming for himself in the
spring of 1876, which occupation he
has followed ever since, devOting much
of his attention to stock raising and
fruit growing.
Mr.. Greasy was the originator Of the
white Plymouth Rocks" and first
exhibited them at the great poultry
show held at Madison Square Garden,
New York city. in 1886, and besides
getting the first prize. received many
encomiums from the leading poultry
men of the United States and Canada.
His orchards, vineyards and various
small fruit sections of his we'll kept
farm forcibly reveal the careful atten-
tion given to this work, while his well
filled barns and granaries show that
He plows deep while sluggards sleep"
Mr.. Greasy has distinctively agri-
cultural ancestry, who, after fighting
in the revolutionary war, settled in
central Pennsylvania, near 4 spot
which is now known as Greasy Sta
tion," on the Pennsylvania railroad,
bordering the SusQuehanna river, near
Bloomsbury.

for four terms served as n school di-
rector of his native township. In 1893
he was asked to accept the Office of
mercantile appraiser. and faithfully
served in that capacity during his term
of office.
In 1894 by the urgent request of his
many friends he became a candidate
for the legislature, received the nomi-
nation and WAS elected. He was re-
nominated in 1896 without opposition,
and again elected.
Although the rule in Columbia coun-
ty is to give only two terms to its
members, In Farmer Creasy's case II
was set aside and he was forced to ac-
cept a third term. and in 1898 was
again unanimously nominated and
elected. Mr. Creasy's ability and in
tegrity had become well known to the
Democracy of the state, and the Demo-
cratic press with prominent men OF
that party. throughout the common
wealth. urged his constituency to re-
turn him again to the legislature, so
that the party could have a tried and
trusted champion on the floor whom
the minority could depend upon as
jealous and faithful leader in the
struggles for better government.
| ACHIEVEMENT AS A LEGISLA-
TOR.
His constituency needed no prompt
ing, for they we'll knew his worth be-
| fore this, and he was triumphantly
returned for a third time. His party
in the legislature gave him the unani-
|
speaker in recognition of his ability
and fidelity to the principles of reform
in state affairs. which he and his col
leagues on the minority side were
bravely battling for.
In the memorable session Of 1895 Mr..
Greasy first came into prominence in

line bill" and in the same session was
the advocate of the farmers when the

Republican colleagues, and no better
compliment could be paid him than
that uttered by most prominent Re-
publican politician, who in speaking
of the work of that session said:
