FOCHT LED THE FIGHT.
After reading this letter Senator
Benjamin X. Focht, Of Union county,
who led the fight for the bill, made q
vigorous speech.
AS l understand this question" de-
clared Senator Focht, earnestly, "it is
not proposed to take away the rights
of any one, but to break through the
lines Of power, usurped and held by
one tyrant boss. feel that am vot-
ing today to emancipate a people who
have long been held under thralldom,
fearing and trembling lest they be
ground under the pitiless and merci-
less wheels of municipal corruption
and bossism. All liberty costs; from
the death stab of Julius Caesar to the
basket which received the head of
Marie Antoinette and the moose which
strangled Nathan Hale, the world has
seen a price paid for every blessing.
Therefore, If we are to break the fet-
tiers which bind and smart the people
of Pittsburg we must not stop at the
sentimental pleadings that mayor
will be put out of office when it is done
for such a high purpose.
European. economists stand amazed
at the glory of our great republic, but
they say We know nothing about mu-
nicipal government. From what We
have heard and know to be true in re-
gard to the abuses in Pittsburg, these
charges are correct, and it resides with
us to remedy this. Our duty is plain
in matter so grave; personal bias
should not be permitted to actuate any
one, neither should sentiment nor sem
atorial courtesy. Already shorn Of
much power and the sceptre more than
half way descended, il is time indeed
for meekneSs, for whimpering, but as
the banditti Of Italy frequently knelt
before shrines of favorite saints and
offered up prayers before going out to
rob and to murder this attitude is well
understood and our acts of mercy will
be when we vote away this municipal
feudalism, this fatherland of an Amer
lean boss"
When the vote was taken IS senator's
voted in favor Of the bill and is against
it.
The bill was then sent to the house
and referred TO the committee on mu-
nicipal corporations, where, with but
two opposing votes, it was reported ia
vorably.
INTERESTING TIMES AHEAD.
There is promise of an interesting
struggle when the bill comes up on
second reading, probably tomorrow or
next day. Finn and the Guffey DEM
ocrats are hard at work canvassing
against the measure. and all sorts of
inducements are being held out to
members to help out the Finn ring.
Republicans Of the state will look
with suspicion upon all members Of
the house elected upon a reform plat
form who will now vote to block re-
form in Pittsburg and reward with
continued favor men who have sought
to wreck the Republican party.
