| What is most needed at Harrisburg
Is bountiful supply of moral dlsin-
fectant, such as quicklime. The way
the Republican newspapers talk is
simply astounding. The Philadelphia
Inquirer (Quay), in speaking of the
fight on Quay, says:
| At future day, when this controversy is
ended, it may become the province OF The In
Grirer to relate the history Of the fight that has
been made upon Quay. That history is romance
OF politics, series OF crimes against public de-
cency.
Now, that is rather tough on the su-
perintendent of the largest Sunday
school on earth, for let it be remember
ed that Brother Wanamaier is the
head and front, the heart and soul, the
great gyastacutis of the anti-Quayitcs,
and if they are guilty of series of
crimes against public decency Brother
John is the chief of sinners. There is
no escaping that logic, dead sure pop.

We're simply appalling, and yet from that time
Until the present these crimes have only grown in
intensity 1t has been the plan of anu-cuLy
agents not only to deceive the public, but TO buy
delegates to conventions and to buy members Of
the legislature with cash. Never was corruption
greater than at the present moment. Men pledg-
Ell to Quay have been offered SlO,OO0 SIS, ,01J and
$4,000 each to break away from him, and all this
has been done under the hypocritical guse OF ''re

Now, l submit to q candid world
that that is sad business for apostles
of purity and sweetness to be ngaged
in, and it is well known fact that all
Republicans are eX officio such apos-
ties, for have they not themselves time
and time again admitted the soft in-
parchment? Aye, more-Eave they not
announced it from the house tops to
all the world? Their logic stated in
syllogistic form runs thus: "The earth
belongs to the saints. We are the
tEtItlpAt tiic W
u.s." Now, to have one faction of the
saints charging the other faction with
all the crimes in the calendar is cal
culated to produce a ruction in saint
dom.
WOrae and More of 1t.
Yet there is more and worse to fol.
low, for The Inquirer vehemently ex.
claims:
Never has there been such treachery against an
individual candidate against state, for the
Quay traitors traitors against the Republican
party OF Pennsylvania. For be it remembered
that Quay has not been candidate by his own
selection. He ID the candidate Of the Republican
party.
1t is of course SELF evident PROPOSE
ton that a man doesn't want a thing
which he strives for with might and
main for over two years. To hear
The Inquirer tell it, Matthew Stanley
will have to be lassoed like a wild
Texas steer and dragged to Washing |
ton and held down in his curule chair
while the oath is administered to him
that is. always provided he secures
the senatorial election for which ''he |
has not been candidate by his own
selection" But IL n plain, unsophisti-

inflated old historic and royal fraud,

CT am the state!D And for believing |
and acting upon that stupid and stu
pendous lie his grandson, Louis NVI, |
otherwise known as Louis the Lock |

wooden head. Suppose John Wanna
maker and his insurgents have been |
treacherous to the Republican party, |
how does that make them treacherous
to the state? Millions of patriotic
citizens of this great republic believe
that Wannmakcr ct al. could render
Pennsylvania no more valuable service
than by killing the Republican party
in Pennsylvania dead as II smelt.
The Inquirer does not propose that
its readers shall be in doubt as to some

But let no reader jump enormously
and prematurcly to the conclusion that
The Inquirer and other Quay whoopers
