take over" the city water works

have been spent, millions of it squan-
dered In filtration schemes that will
never protect the public health, as
has been already shown. Legislation,
local and state, will be required to
enable these plans to be carried out
With Quayism triumphant in Novem-
Der and February, everything would be
In fine shape for another carnival Of
debauchery and the enslavement Of
the greatest city of the common
wealth.
It remains to be seen what the
plain people will do about 1t, not only
the long plundered residents of the
city to be affected, but the self-respect
ing citizenship of the state. 1t is
within their power to smash this new
combine and all others of the same
kind. They can knock out Quayism
with one blow and the rising tide of
public Indignation and patriotism Wis
ible in every part of the state indicates
that this is what they propose to do
on the 4th of November.

A Great Opportunity For Philadelphia

Earnest words were those spoken to
his fellow citizens of Philadelphia by
ex-governor Pattison on Monday
night, says the Harrisburg Patriot.
They have the ring of sincerity,
framed in conscious strength of the
rectitude of the cause represented by
the Democratic candidates in the pend
ing campaign. They should, as tn y
doubtless will, send the thrill of ind )
nant and patriotic pride through the
the banks of the Delaware and cause
such revolt against machine methods
that for years have kept Philadelphia
in the pillory of universal contempt,
viewed from the standpoint of electoral
integrity, IS to render impotent the
who have defied the will of the people
as expressed at the ballot box.
Governor Pattison tells his towns
men that he has been face to face with
the voters of the commonwealth in
nearly two-thirds of the counties of
has found the sentiment alert, active,
aggressive in the purpose to rescue
Pennsylvania from the grip of the cor
ruptionists who have throttled the
manhood and the unbought citizenship
of great commonwealth. Shall the
will of the voters of the other &C coun-
ties Of the state be rendered nugatory
by the pollution of the ballot box in
the single county of Philadelphia? asks
Mr. Pattison; and by the very force
of his plea he seems to answer the
query with determined no that bids
fair to be echoed at the polls three
weeks hence.
That speech Of Robert e. Pattison
to his neighbors of philadelphia should
be worth tens of Thousands of votes
to the candidates of the Democratic
and Independent organizations, 1t is
the plea of decency in politics against
degradation; of purity against pollu-
tion in legislative and administrative
affairs it hos the note of authority and
command in its entreaty for higher
and nobler order 1t should have an
answer from the banks of the city of
Penn that will rehabiltate that COM
munity in the eyes of the state at
large and echoe the volume of patriotic
protest that promises to come rolling
across the Alleghenies and down the
valleys of the eastern section Of the
state. ,.-.,

How 1t Looks In SchuylkiIl.

The Pottsville Chronicle has the fol-
lowing:
The large Independent Republican
vote which beyond doubt Will be polled
for Pattison is likely to have a bad eff
feet upon the Republican county, SEN
atorial and Legislative tickets and will
be the means of electing the entire
Democratic ticket by majorities rang
ing anywhere from 800 to $500. If
the election were held tomorrow the
Republican party would be showed un-
der by the mightiest majorities ever
recorded in this county at any election
That the Republican party is up
against it in regard to the big strike
is evident to all who are witnessing
the franctic endeavors of the Republi-
can politicians to bring it to a settle
ment. We all know that the Republi-
can party is entirely responsible for
the condition which makes this strike
possible or necessary. This is one of
the real reasons why the large indepen-
dent vote is going to be cast for the
entire Democratic ticket in Schuylkill
county on the 4th of next month. The
other reason is that the independent
Republicans cannot vote for the candi-
dates of a party controlled by Mr..
Quay. The dose even at a distance
nauseates men who wish to do their
own thinking. They to a man will
vote the Democratic ticket, and the
Republican ticket will be buried out of
sight on election day

FREELAND, PA, OCTOBER 90, 1902.
ON THE HOMESTRETCh,

During the past week Gov. Pattison
and Mr.. Guthrie held a series of most
successful meetings, ten In all. In
Philadelphia. Upon each occasion
there was large attendance, many
voters of the opposition party testi.
flying by their presence their sympa-
thy with the movement to reclaim the
state from ring misrule. The party Or
ganization is reported to be In better
and more effective condition than for
many years past. A large amount Of
work has been done that does not
appear upon the surface. There is
every assurance Of vote for the Dem
Dcratic candidates that will exceed that
of last year, when the machine major
ity, considerable proportion of 1t
being fraudulent, was less than 4O,-
000 The Quay contingent is bitterly
complaining of the Indifference of
many party workers. There is no ex-
pectation Of plurality for Penny
packer much over $4,000, and with that
Quay victory in the state will not
be possible. A heavy independent
vote for Pattison and Guthrie is indi-
Gated, and such a close watch will be
kept on the crooks it will be impos-
sible to repeat the performances Of re-
cent years.
From all parts of the state continue
to come encouraging reports to the
campaign committee. at the last meet
ing If which, In Philadelphia, and Har-
risburg Chairman Greasy was assured
that the prospect could not be bright
er. Il think the fight is won," said
Col. Guffey, but we must push right
on till the last minute and take moth
ing for granted" Only another fort
night remains and it behooves every
patriotic citizen to redouble his ef-
forts in behalf Of this great movement
of the people against the bosses. Pen
nypacker is the weakest candidate the
machine ever put up. A little more
well directed effort all along the line
and Quayism will go down forever.

PENNYPAckER AS A MASK
An Independent Republicans ScathIng
Reply TO Quay's Appeal For
Campaign Doodle.

Rudolph Blankenburg, the we'll
known independent Republican. has
declined to contribute to the Quay
campaign fund. He has coucned his
refusal in a characteristically vigor-
Gus letter, in which he says:
Whenever the machine is in daner it
is seized with fit of virtue and at
tempts to cloak its hideous skeleton
with garb of alluring colors, so con-
structed, however, that the machine
survives to continue its shameless ca
reer of plunder and vice. 1t nominated
Judge Pennypacker, not on account of
his irreproachable personal character,
but because you hoped that his nomi
nation might save the machine once
more from richly merited defeat
Judge Pennypacker at the head of
the machine ticket is as absurd
proposition as would be an orthodox
minister at the head of congrega-
ton of avowed infidels or a band of
thieves, with Thou shalt not steal" for
their motto.
Judge Pennypacker's article on the
ills of Pennsylvania, supplemented by
the fulsome eulogy of his political god
father, the invidious comparison with
Clay and Webster, make him an impos-
sible candidate for men who think
more of country than of party; men
VINO place duty above friendship, men
who honor and appreciate Clay and
Webster for their unselfish devotion to
duty, their unsullied characters, their
exalted patriotism.
Endorses Pattison.
Ex-Governor fattison. who has twice
acceptably filled the office of governor,
has again been nominated on a plat
form that calls in clarion tones for the
redemption of the poor, boss-ridden,
plundered and disgraced comm-n-
wealth. platform to which every pa
triotic citizen. be he stalwart or inde-
pendent Republican or Democrat, can
subscribe. ror honesty, integrity of
purpose, public zeal, he seeks his peer;
even his most pronounced political op-
ponents, strongly Republican papers
and partisans, united in unstinted
praise when he reinquished the i'm
portant Offices Of controller and gov
ernor. while his associates on the state
ticket are infinitely superior to the
candidates selected by your organiza-
ton.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1902-10-20

Pattison's popularity amongst all
classes of workers seems to be some
thing the machine hirelings cannot
understand Nothing queer about 1t.
The people know an honest man when
they see him and they want that sort
of an executive at Harrisburg during
the next four years.

Intelligent and patriotic voters will

situation in nutshell.

Millions More In Sight.


In Philadelphia 1t Is proposed to sup
plement the immensely profitable
schemes of the past few years. The
people have been SO deeply wronged
that 1t Is thought they will weakly
submit to any new trespass upon their
rights, to any new burdens that may
be laid upon them. No other city in
the United States is so completely sub
ject to onerous local transit monopoly
1t will be remembered that when the
street railway franchise bills were
pushed at Harrisburg it was loudly pro-
claimed that the benevolent purpose
of the projectors was to break monop-
oily and bring about better conditions
Every statement to the contrary was
furiously denied. To the last hour
of secret combination negotiations, di-
rectors brazenly declared there was
nothing in it." There has been vast
sum of money divided since and now
this city is doomed to monopoly and
high fares for fifty years The COM
bine controls traffic on the ground,
under the ground and above the
ground.
Another Gigantic Combine Scheme.
Five years ago the gas works were
taken by corporation that had grad
ually worked its way to the front. The
service had been demoralized in its di-
rect interest. The people had been so
previously wronged they were ready
to surrender on almost any terms.
Facing winter without coal, or at ex-
tortionate prices, when they demanded
cheaper gas they were pointed to the
hard and fast terms of one-sided bar
gain for twenty-five years more. Ex-
perts have shown that the company
| Could make big money at one-half the
rate they secured. This contract If
| 1t Is not changed, will cost the people
of Philadelphia fully thirty millions of
dollars more than 1t should. 1t com
prises the most gigantic grab in the
history of municipalities in this coun-
try.
"A community of interest" prevails
| between the gas company and the
electric light trust, which over-taxes
the municipality through its monopoly,
more than one hundred thousand dol
lars year, while the people are like
wise held up through extortionate
rates. There has been no competition.

Quay Ring TO TAKE
EVERYTHING IN SIGHT
What Would Follow the Election of
Pennypacker.
A CLEAN SWEEP OF SPOILS
Philadelphia to Be In the Grip of
Gigantic Light, Power and
Transit Combination.
MORE LEGISLATION Is NEEDED
Especial Correspondence }


Philadelphia, Oct. 20.-The last ses-
sion of the legislature showed what
the allied forces Of public plunderers
could do, but If the people of Pennsyl-
vania think that high water mark was
then touched they will find themselves
mistaken. If they give new lease of
power to the same grasping and con-
scienceless element. What was ac-
complished indicated what could be
done along the same lines and plans are
being laid for still greater schemes.
Strengthened by its own audacity
umphs, the machine proposes to take
everything in sight next time. II it
succeeds at the polls in November 1t
will claim that it's policy has been vim
dicated and proceed to entrench itself
for the next twenty-five years. This
is not only possible, 1t is an absolute
certainty, If the projects now on foot
are carried out. The whole state will
be helplessly subject to the gigantic
combination of selfish interests now
at work Elections will be mock
cry and tribute to the amount of scores
of millions of dollars will be exacted
from the people. When the climax
is reached 1t will be the elimination Of
work that has been going on for ten
years past.
How They Raise Campaign Funds.
The financial bulwark of the Quay
machine has been and is the misuse of
the state funds, their control of the
treasury and the secret support of GER
tain interests that keep out of sight.
Barrels of money have been raised
whenever needed and now 1t is intend
ed to spend more than ever before in a
single state campaign, the deliberate
purpose being to debauch the degraded
portion of the electorate and control
election boards by violence and cor
ruption. If the agents of the machine
can give satisfactory assurances, they
can get the money-all that is demand
ed They always do. No one is al
lowed to become the beneficiary Of
ring favor who does not pay the
freight. For several years prominent
citizen Of Philadelphia, having large
business interests, backed the local
bosses most literally. He died sud-
denly and instead of leaving a million
or more as every one supposed, his
estate was surprisingly small. He had
been almost bled to death-financially
A successor was found, who put up the
money by the bag full. He was given
fleeting public honors, but being thrifty
minded he got In on the ground floor
with the spectators in public fran
chises and came out far ahead. Great
corporations have been compelled to
stand and deliver to these public pi-
rates until some of their master spirits
have at last called a halt. They are
today praying for the complete over
throw of the grafterS
