To Republicans-Just a Word.


Although afforded the widest oppor-
tunity for investigation, the Demo
cratic members of the Capitol investi.
eating Commission, aided by able
counsel OF their own political faith,
have utterly failed in the attempt to
fasten any of the wrongdoing in the
Capitol job on the Republican party
as an organization. That men who
owe their political prominence and the
Offices they so unworthily filed to the
Republican party are implicated, is
true; but that party promises to see
that justice is dealt out to those who
robbed the State, as well as those of
ficials whose supineness, if not worse,
aided the looters.
1t is silly to assume, as some bigoted
partisans do, that there is any greater
average of honesty in the Democratic
than in the Republican party. Dis
honest men are not partial in the dis
tribution Of their party fealty. At
tached to the organization of every
political party are men who are al
ways ION the make" There is no
doubt that the PERCENTAGE of default
ers, crooked officials, and hooters of
public funds is distributed III about
equal proportion among the political
parties. To assume than any greater
degree Of intelligence, any greater pre-
,Fl nd or
taches to members Of one party than
to those of another, is an argument of
the salient fanatic
To attempt the argument that Penn
sylvania must elect any Democrat Sc
lected by Col. Guf1ey for State Treas
urer in order that the Capitol thieves
be punished and future raids prevent
ed, is an insult to the great majority of
the people Of the State, who are Re.
publicans. To argue that the peo-
ple's moneys are not safe unless in
trusted to the keeping of a Mr.. Har-
man, introduced to the public Wed
nesday as the Democratic nominee for
Treasurer, is an assumption that Re
publicans may not hereafter be in
trusted with that office.
Stripped of all its bosh and misrep-
resentation, the Democratic argument
is revealed as simply an attempt to
rejuvenate that organization in prepa-
ration for next years important cam
paign. If Col. Guffey's Mr.. Harman
were to be elected State Treasurer, the
event would be halted by every Demo
cratic paper from Maine to California
as a great Democratic victory. Even
the Bryan organs would, by their pecu-
liar style of reasoning (?) find COM
fort for their cause.
The plain duty of Republican voters
in Pennsylvania is to elect John o.
Sheath. There is no claim that he is
not honest, capable and fit in every
way. There is no claim that he is
owned by any faction, clinque or in
dividual. He is the choice of Re-
publican convention, unhampered by
any dictation. In the face of the most
bitter and vindictive charges, notwith-
standing fanantical Misrepresentation,
the people of Pennsylvania chose Ed
win S. Stuart as their Governor, and
are not disappointed in that choice.
That he will push an uprelenting and
vigorous prosecution of the Capitol
looters is assured. Every guilty man
that can be reached will pay the pen
atty. His record in Philadelphia as
sures the people that no specious plea
will save single malefactor.
Wise Republicans will not aid in the
project to encourage the Democratic
party in the Nation by defeating the
Republican nominee for Treasurer.
They will not if they are wise, hearken
to the sophistry of the eager Demo-
cratic organs which preach the doc
trine of Republican dishonesty and
Democratic saintliness. Should they
do so, and Pennsylvania be made to
appear as favoring the Democratic
party, they must not be surprised at
the Democratic snicker, the laugh in
the sleeve, that will greet them, the
morning after.-Johnstow Tribune.
