My Dear Judge Accept my warmcsl
thanks for your goodness in the mattcr
OF Jacobs. Your prompt Kindness has
relieved me from a position which I
thought it right for me to take. but which
without your help would have been very
diStastcful.
AS regards your ucphcw's appication
! have had q talk with the chairman Of
the committee and from his statement
II would appear that the applicant is
not only outside Of the letter Of tho rules,
but Of their spirit as well. and this on u
liberal construction of them
However, I am to have the record sent
to me and shall look into the matter 10
sec whether there is any rightful way
Of modifying this conclusion.
| may now congratulate YOU upon
holding your rightful position as the
properly chosen guide and leader Of
the Republican party Of the Common
wealth.
Carson will toll YOU that in the very
rush Of the flood of abuse | never for
a moment lost my faith that some time
during your term Of office the tide would
bc sure to turn. This was based merely
on the simple faith that character learn
ing and devotion To duty cannot for
long he mistaken for their OppoSites
An amusing feature of the praise Of
which YOU an" now the victim is the ma
tive forgetfulncss 10 "all upon you for
repeal Of the press "mu2Hlcr" \ more
convincing testimony to the inSinCCrty
Of tho howlers could not we'll he.
Within these last few minutes Scnaton
John NJ. Scott said tu me: "Sncc Quay's
death, your friend is the first politician
in Pennsylvania"
Amid unstntcd laudation from oppos.
itc quarters there must be danger of
getting giddy.
I;y the way, have YOU considered the
great reform in England of the AN
Cicnt abuse of money i'm elections lin.
cluding nominations? \ conversation
the other night with au English pub.
licist brought the subject to my mind
Expenses there have been efficiently
limited and regulated, and, above all,
the thing works.
I rather think that action in that
direction will be more potent than in
the respects concerning which there
is so much clamor, patent ballot honesty
patent registration honesty and other
mechanical factors of morality.
Very truly yours.
MAYER SULHBERGER.
