Our Republic.

The American republic must live.
Popular commotion and partisan fury
may dash their mad waves against it,
but they shall roll back shattered,
spent. Persecution shall not shake it,
fanaticism distort it nor revolution
change it, but it shall stand towering
sublime. like the last mountain in the
deluge, while the earth rocks at it's
feet and the thunders peal above it's
head-majestic, immutable, magnifi-

A Democrats
Honest Opinion.
Candidate for Lieut. Governor
Tell the People What He
Thinks of the Franchise
Bill Ro9ers Supported

Scouten wants people to write to
Democratic candidates for their
opinion of Rogers. What is the
use? Here is an opinion already
made public. Guthrie who is the
Democratic candidate for Lieut..
Governor in a speech the other
night, as quoted in the Phil North
American of Oct. 1st, says this:
"Of course, direct proof OF bribery rarely
can be produced; but men have been hung
for murder on weaker evidence of the
crime than exists against the members of
the Leglsl 'ture III connection with the
ripper bill, and Il franchise bill.
1.-The so-called Democrats who were
members of the Legislature 4 were par
ties to these corruptions all have been
condemned by the constituents they be-
trayed, so strong was the conviction in
the minds OF the people that they had for
teted all claim to the public confidence
Every Intelligent citizen in the Common
wealth believes that IN >fy one ut these
cases referred to bribery WAS used, and the
circumstances that surround them Justify
the belief; they are inexrllcable in any
other theory, nor can any argument, how
ever plausible, in defense Of the Franchise
Bill, excuse the midnight bargains by
which the franchises in the city Of Phila-
delphia were turned over to political sup
porters and out of which they made
millions of dollars at the public expense" !"
What more can any honest Dem
ocrat want to form his opinion of
Rogers's vote on the franchise bill?
He was opposed to it at first and
voted for Greasy two amendments,
then he is absent when the third
amendment is voted on and when
he next votes he is against all the
amendments and for the Franchise
Bill. Who did he see when he was
absent ? What was said 30 him
that made him change his vote :?
Why did he change his mind ?
Do the Sullivan county farmers
and laboring men want Mr.. Rogers
to go back to Harrisburg? Could
he be trusted if corporation was
in a pinch and wanted his vote?

Rogers Vote
on the Bath.
Measure Strongly Opposed by
Dixon and is Defeated.

MR.. DIXON was a leading Dem
ocrat member of the House of Rep
resentatives at it's last session.
When House Bill'4O1, for the
Apportionment and compensation
for additional officers and employ
ees OF the General Assembly was
before the House, Mr.. Dixon said
Mr.. Speaker this bill provides that the
Chief Clerk Of the House OF Representa-.
tives and the Senate shall appoint assis
tant clerks and two jantors. You NAV
call one, if you please, an elevator man.
lhe assistant clerk is not considered nee.
essary by the conservative thinkers. and
the other janitor man not at all. Now
understand that they originally have had
janitors in the Senate paid doubtless in a
very proper manner, which is supposed
TO be paid out Of the contingent fund.
like many others which are so easv not
only IN the Senate but in the Houseas as
well. Now this janitor, what does he do?
am informed that he is doing well, that
he is in position not only to get his pay,
but he is in position to yet tips as we'll

we nave not any more Senators or Mem
bers of the House, consequently wby
have we any more need for positions of
this kind. Look what these fellows get
in a session. Eight dollars day for each
regular session and five dollars per day
tor the first ten days Of a succeeding SEES
sion. The janitor gets six dollars a dav.
Now you Will readily see that these are
fabulous sums. Where do men get these
large amounts except around this old

nothing about that. They an to get four

1t may be? Some of us may come down
from the country and we may want bath.
| understand that some of the members
OF the House while this bill has been in
progress have been invited over to get a
bath, and understand in some cases they
have been promised as much as twenty
pounds of flesh if they would come to take
the trial. Mr.. Speaker will not vote for
1t.

Who Did Rogers Sec ?

Scouten says we told malicious
lie when we said Rogers was out of
the House after the second amend
ment to the Franchise bill, he saws
Rogers was in the house'all the time,
and he defies us to prove he was not.
Then he pitched into us real naugh-
ty. Scouten seems to think we COM
plain of Rogers because he left the
House, while all we complain of is
his changing his mind and voting
fora "bood,e bill" Whether or not
he left the House is not important.
We don't know who he saw or where
it was he saw him, in the building
or out of it. That is Just what we
would like to know and a good many
Others. The only evidence we can
submit that he was out of the House
when the third amendment was vot-
ed on is this:
1st. There was Doodle bill pend
ing according to the Philadelphia
Record and it wa, being voted on
June 9Th 1901. Greasy and others
were trying to kill it by amend
ments.
End. Rogers is recorded as voting
"Aye" on the two first amendments.
3rd. He is recorded absent or not
voting on the third amendment.
4th. He is recorded Nay on the
other amendments.
9Th. He is recorded Aye on the
final passage of the bills.
This is our evidence that he must
have seen some one when the third
amendment was voted on. We sup
posed it was outside the House. Per-
haps we were wrong, but the i'm
portant question is why did Rogers
change his vote:
