publican party 70 command considera-
tion from the leaders who had refused
to comply with their wishes.
When the politicians who had been
subsidized into joining the Union party
and who had gotten control Of its ma
chinery saw chance last week to
possibly benefit themselves they
threw reform to the winds" and
started out in business on their own
account. They held a Union party
convention and nominated two Of their
own number for magistrates in the
hope Of electing them as the minority
members of the board Of magistrates.
They believed that they could COM
mand more votes than the Democrats,
and would thus get representation as
the minority party. In order to
strengthen their position they placed on
their ticket for city solicitor the name
of the Republican nominee for that
office, John l.. Kinsey, who has made
most very creditable record in the
office.
This action of the active workers IN
se Union party incensed the men who
had spent thousands and thousands Of
dollars backing the Union party in its
unsuccessful campaign to defeat John
Weaver, the Republican candidate for
district attorney. They had hoped to
be able to keep up the fight, to form an
alliance with the Democrats for fu-
sion campaign, and to strengthen the
Union party and Democratic combina-
tion for the real contest for which all
the money was being spent, the cleo
ton Of members of the Legislature,
which is to take place next fall. These
members of the legislature will vote
on the United States Senatorship, and
this is the grand prize for which the
Union party was organized.
The Union party, according to the
declaration of its state chairman at the
initial convention held in Philadelphia,
was formed primarily. to figure in the
election of a United States senator.
There are half a dozen eminent gen.
tlemen who have either put up cash
to keep the Union party going or have
given their influence in other direc-
tions to serve its purposes who are now
damning the men who have gotten
control Of its Philadelphia machinery.
Wanamaker's Philadelphia newspa-
per, which has been the organ of the
Union party in the state, is showing
the keenest disappointment. In a
scathing arraignment Of the Union
party this paper, among other things,
says:
"The Union party organization in
this city has been guilty Of an act
either Of perfidy or supreme folly, or
both. In any case. it has abdicated its
principles and abused its trust"
Continuing. II states that by the ac-
lion OF its convention II became the
tool of spoilmen,' and then adds, "as
the instrument of mere spoilsmen II
represents no principles, and has no
banner that any independent or parti-
san citizen can follow.
"The spoils hunters who have tenn
porarily gained control Of the Union
party organization in this city should
be made as contemplate and ridiculous
rs their folly or perfidy deserves"
And this is what the principal organ
Of the Union party has to say OF the
men who have been running its "re-
form campaign"

A POLITICAL WRECK
lnsurgent Newspapers Are Now
DamniDg the Union Party.
THE PERFORMERS" EXPOSED
Men Who Put Up the Cash to Fight
the Republican Organization Are
Now Denouneing Their Hirelings Of
the Last Campaign.
Special Correspondence. ,


Philadelphia, January 21.-The Union
party organization in the Quaker City
has ceased to be held in respect even
by its former most ardent champions.
1t has been revealed, by its former
friends, in its true light of a combina-
ton Of disgruntled and disappointed
and scheming politicians who have
nothing in common with the principles
and aims of sincere reformers, al
though their stock in trade in the re-
cent campaign were their professions
of reform.
Thevery men and interests which put
up the money to run the recent Union
party campaign in Philadelphia are
now the loudest in denunciation Of
the politicians whom they gathered
around them and engaged to make
their fight against the nominees Of the
Republican party. An organization
was formed in every ward in this city.
Headquarters were established and the
millionaires and others who we're be-
hind the movement paid the rent of
the rooms, furnished the cash to en-
ploy clerks and canvassers. and in
many cases gave the politicians hired
to take charge Of the organizations in
the several wards from 5000 to 81 900
each for their personal services during
the campaign.
FAKE REFORM.
This was, indeed a reform cam
paign," run upon strictly business prin-
ciples.
These hirelings Of the wealthy men,
with personal ambitions to advance,
or private grievances to satisfy, went
at their work TO disrupt the Republican
party in the hope that besides the
ready money of which they were as
sured, there would be Offices to be had
after the defeat of the Republican can
didates, and then Democrats and Union
party men would be entrenched in the
city Offices
Mass meetings were gotten up and
streets parades were organized, with
many of the men in line paid from so
cents to one dollar a night to turn out
under the Union party banners. The
insurgent and Democratic newspapers
were daily filled with glowing reports
of the proceedings in the Union party
campaign, and recounting, with graphic
descriptions and precise detail, the
grand work being done in the interest
of reform" but the voters soon be-
came acquainted with the tactics being
resorted to and realized that the whole
show was a scheme gotten up to serve
the purposes of men who have been
repudiated by the Republican party.
These men believed that they had
but to defeat the nominees of the Re

Thou Shalt Not Steal.

In the mad rush for news, and with
an overweening desire to have the
credit for brains which they do not
possess, some OF the editors In Louisi-
ana are persistent in filching the ideas
OF other writer's and publishing them
as their own. This is altogether
wrong, and no man with self respect
will do it. We can understand that
such things some times occur mad
vertently, and can afford to overlook
1t once in a while, but we grow sus-
picious when we see our own ideas
and those of other brethren appear
week after week In certain quarters
without any credit at all.
The ethics Of newspaperdom are ex-
ceedingly liberal, and items of news
and statements of fact made by one
newspaper may be cribbed and ap-
propriated by another without ques-
ton, but the fraternity draws the
line at the appropriation OF another
mans ideas and editorial comment
without giving due credit,
