the late Democratic candidate for the
Presidency encountered "freeze-out."
Naturally he was very indignant, and
when he spoke to the Lehigh County
Democrats that night he declined to
mention the name OF Ex-Governor Pat
tison or even invite his hearers to vote
the Democratic ticket in Pennsylvania.
WHAT THE NEWSPAPERS SAY.
The Republican newspapers Of the
state, both stalwart and independent,
have been devotinS considerable edi-
torial space to an outline Of what can
didates Pennypacker and Pattison will
discuss. The York Daily Dispatch,
heretofore a leading Independent Re-
publican newspaper Cleverly puts the
matter as follows:
Ex-Governor Pattison, it is under
stood, will not discuss national affairs
on the stump in Pennsylvania, but as
he is booked to open the campaign in
Illinois in September he will be per-
mitted to shout for tariff reform and
the unlimited and independent coinage
OF silver at the dishonest ration OF l6
TO /. OF course he will take a whack
at the way the Republicans have acted
in the PHILIPPINES, and denounce ex-
pansion-in Illinois. but he will be as
silent as a clam in Pennsylvania on
such subjects.
"On the other hand Judge Penny
packer has boldly declared that he will
discuss local issues and national issues.
The Republican party is again united.
and the Republican nominee, after he
reaches the Governors chair, will man
fully carry out his ante-election prom
ises, and impress upon the Senate and
House that proper ballot law and 9TH
er reforms must be enacted"
PATTISON IN ILLINOIS.
The Franklin Repository" Of Cham
bersburg. In pretty much the same
strain has this TO say:
"Mr. Pattison is booked by the Dem
ocratic State Committe of Illinois to
open the campaign In that state early
in September, and as Pattison is pre-
cluded from discussing national poll
tics in Pennsylvania, this will afford
him an opportunity Of telling the De-
mocracy OF Illinois that when Cleve-
land and Hill, and Whitney and Gen.
eral Palmer baked, he stood resolutely
for the Kansas City platform-tarin re-
form and the unlimited and indepen-
| dent coinage OF silver at the dishonest
| ratio Of l6 to !.
In the meantime while Pattison is
| studying how he may make a canvass
for Governor and avoid touching upon
any issue OF vital importance to the
nation, Judge Pennypacker is prepar-
| ing 20 resign his judicial Office In order
| that he may take the stump In advo-
cacy OF all that the Republican party
In It's National and State platform
stands for.
| Judge Pennypacker will not falteF
on any OF the leading issues OF the day,
and especially will he stand up for his
| party In It's acquisition Of the territory
OF Alaska. Hawaii. Porto Rico and the
Philippines. He knows that under the
aegts OF the American flag the ignor-
ant, pitiable, half-ciyilized creatures OF
the PHILIPPINES will be raised 10 a high
J level of citizenship"
A characteristic side light was thrown
on Judge Pennypacker when a Phila.
delphia reporter called on him in con-
nection with the announcement Of his
retirement from the bPuCh and re.
