ror United States senator. It matters
little to me, 1t matters little to the
Republican party Of Pennsylvania, who
is the United States senator, so that he
is a regular Republican who may be
trusted on every issue that is presented
in congress for the welfare of the coun-
try.
you are electing three members of
the legislature, who will have a vote
for United States senator. You are
also voting for candidate for con-
gress. say to you that while Presi-
dent Mckinley Is going to be elected
by more votes in the electoral college
than he received in 1898, there is the
greatest danger that congress will pass
into the hands Of the opposition. This
is one OF the close districts, now repre-
sented by a Democrat.
1T is your duty to see that your con-
gressman and legislative candidates
are successful.
These are the bastions Of your for
uications that the enemy is massing
to take"
MKINLEY AND BRYAN.
In his Meadville speech, which was
probably the longest he delivered, Col.
Quay. among other things, said:
Mckinley is personally the most
popular in his public intercourse Of all
OF our Republican presidents. Roosevelt
is the flower Of our youth. Each Of
the Republican candidates has made
his impress upon events and we can
Judge of their future 1y their past.
Elect them, and we will have a contin-
uance Of the conditions of the last four
years in Pennsylvania. These have
multiplied our furnaces and factories
manifold and added four hundred and
forty thousand men to the ranks Of en-
ployed labor in Pennsylvania. Under
the Mckinley administration the
wealth OF Pennsylvania has nearly
doubled
FREE TRADE AND FREE COINAGE.
THE policy of the government in
these regards cannot be altered in the
event OF Bryan's election, unless he is
traitor to his country, which he Is
not. But he is from pure conviction in
favor of free trade and tree coinage,
and II elected he will force these upon
the country. Free trade will put out
our furnace fires and close our facto-
ries, destroy our capital and throw out
OF employment our workingmen, whose
labor Is their capital
"Ths free coinage OF silver will close
our banks and produce general bank
ruptcy. The lower house of congress
is the most powerful single branch OF
the government. There all revenue
bills must originate and all appropria-
tions be framed. II holds the keys of
the exchequer and may at will shackle
the executive In the conduct of a war
or of peaceful policy. II can carry
the purse and tie the peace strings of
hostile to the policy of the president
he will be helpless; and regret to say
to you that the complexion OF the next
house OF representatives is exceedingly
uncertain. Our majority win pretty GER
tainly depend upon the gain Of some
districts in Pennsylvania. There is
danger that the so-called fusion and
factional trouble may cheat us out Of
the success so vital. This Twenty
sixth district. normally and legitimate
ly Republican. Is represented by .
Democrat It must be reclaimed. We
must recover five of our lost districts
in Pennsylvania. and of them all, this
ought to be the most hopeful. We
must have It for the success of the
Mckinley administration, and hope
and believe that our candidates will
not be stricken down by the so-called
insurgents. / hope and believe they
will have patriotism enough to secure
the election Of Mr. Bates, no matter
what they may do with me. Vote the
ticket. the straight ticket, and the
whole ticket; but II any voter can Sc
lect but one Republican, let him vote
for the congressional nominee.
