geniZed proceeding VIII nave no stanu-
Ing in court"
"a Wretched Piece Of Bulldozlng."
This is the heading of the Evening
Bulletin, an earnest supporter OF
Pennypsckcr which Indignantly says:
"The violent proceedings in Musical
Fund Hall for the capture of the Union
party convention were a disgrace to all
who were concerned in them, either as
instigators or participants. The nomi-
nation which was given to Judge Pen
nypacker by the mob of bulldozers was
mere trayesty of convention forms.
Indeed, the whole movement was such
a mockery of decency and fair play
that II can be regarded by the public
only with contempt and disgust. Such
nomination can bring neither
strength nor credit to Judge Penny
packer, and when rendered to him he
ought to repudiate il as the product of
a lawless piece of chicanery and row.
dyism 1t is not clear that there was
much political morse sense or PumptlOn
behind this raid on the remains of the
Union party, for its chief effect viii
now be to give the Democratic Union
lists more of a standing in public SEN
timent than they possibly could have
had If they had been left quietly alone
Even the Bosses Ashamed OF II.
The North American editorlally OBJ
serves:
"The desperate folly of the machine
eliminated in the riot of thieves and
thugs in the Union party's convention
hall and forced the convention to en-
dorse the Democratic ticket. No otner
result was possible. Many important
delegations entered the convention to
oppose any nominations, but after the
riotous invasion by Quay's gang the
vote to nominate the Democratic can
didates was unanimous. The effect OF
the outrage committed bv the Quayites
will be disastrous to the machine ticket.
1t is doubtful If anything which has
been done or may be done or said dur
ing the campaign will drive so many
votes away from the machine. The as
sault upon the convention was so bru-
tally idiotic that even the machine or
gans cannot find excuses for II, and
Quay and Penrose, who inspired 1t, now
denounce and repudiate 1t. They see
that the consequences do not depend
entirely upon the action of the Union
party, but will be felt in the revulsion
of voters from the machine regardless
Of the status of the Union ticket

THE GROWING CRIME
Gov Pattison's Scathing Denuncation
of Quay HeeIers in philadelphia.

At the close of his speech at Read
ing Gov Pattison thus referred to the
riotous assault on the Union Party
convention:
The right of free assemblage and
free speech and unfettered action in
connection with public affairs is a fun
damental American principle. IL was
for this that the founders of the Re-
public fought from Lexington to York
town. IL was to maintain this right
that half million lives were sacrificed
in the struggle to save the Union. To
seek to abridge or destroy this high
privilege is to aim a deadly blow at
self-government. But to the corrupt
and tyrannical political autocrat OF our
time and his base hirelings nothing is
sacred Nothing is safe from their
combined hostility. In order to carry
out their own purposes they trampe
upon the laws, brutally override peace
full citizens and even murderously as
sail those who courageously declare
their loyalty to law and order and man
fully defend the rights guaranteed
to every one by the constitution. They
make elections a mockery, party con-
ventions the perilous scene of disorder
and riot and then have the supreme
audacity to demand that the courts
shall sustain them in their infamous
work. They substitute the bludgeon
for the ballot, the blackjack TOT nom
est credentials. They scoff at decency
and scorn righteous public criticism.
They compel the Independent citizen,
who determines TO act according to the
dictates of his own conscience, to take
his life in his hands when he goes to
the convention hall or to the polls;
All this occurred in the city OF Phila-
delphia yesterday, when law-abiding
citizens from all parts of the state mot
in convention and sought rightfully to
express the will of the people whom
they represented.
We believe the time has come when
the freemen of this great common
wealth will no longer submit to this
degradation. to this consuming curse
upon their state; when they will unto
with heroic courage and invinclble
strength to strike down and crush for
ever the powers of darkness that have
so long and SO deeply disgraced Penn
sylvana.

Quoted in the past having been sus-

stands, where the owner of the land
fails to pay his taxes, the county com

may then be issued and the land

"The proceedings of the Union state
convention in this city yesterday bear
their own comment. The hall in which
the delegates We're to assemble was
stormed by a crowd of city roughs, who
made all regular procedure impossible.
They thrust aside the duly constituted
officials of the state organization and
dehantly indorsed Pennypacker and the
two Browns. The regular delegates
were driven TO an adjourned session in
other quarters. This brute force meth
cd of making nominations in Phiadel-
phia gave the Union delegates in at
tendance from other parts of the state
a practical illustration of the way cleo
tions are carried in this city and of the
sort of men and methods employed for
the purpose.
According to careful estimates of the
actual desire of the delegates entitled
TO seats in the Union convention those
favoring the Endorsement of PattisOn
outnumbered the rest about three to
one. The brutal and partially success
full attempt to defeat the object for
which the convention was assembled
will react against the desperate leader
ship that inspired it. OF course, the
