A. W. GREENWOOD,
Superintendent.
The Chairman Thoroughly Refutes
the Charges Made,
SATS TEE PABTY IS ALL EIGHT.
Declares That the millionaire Ex-Postmaster General Is Betraying the Party Which
Hade Bim Rich, and Is Introducing oi
Attempting to Introduce Systematic Corruption in PoUtics to an Extent Never
Before Heard of in Pennsylvania.
(Special Correapondence.)
West Chester, Oot. 3.—Before one of
the most representative and attentive
audiences ever gathered anywhere
State Chairman John P. Elkin opened
the Republican campaign in- Chester
county ln a manner whioh will not soon
be forgotten and whioh met with the
most ardent reoeption. He had previously accepted an Invitation to meet
Mr. Wanamaker In joint public debate,
Which the millionaire orator dodged,
and naturally devoted muoh of his attention to the latter's latest public utterance.
In the course ot his speech Chairman
Elkin said:
Last week I reoeived an Invitation
from the Republican executive committee of your neighboring county of
Delaware to meet Mr. Wanamaker in
Joint discussion and refute before his
face and In the presence of an intelligent assemblage the slanders he has
been casting on our party and people.
I promptly accepted this invitation. It
was my earnest hope that Mr. Wanamaker would have the courage of his
so-called convictions and meet me on
the same platform to discuss these
questions. For purposes of his own,
however, and ln my opinion, because
he dared not have the fallacies and
falseness of his statements exposed ln
publio, he refused to accept that invitation.
For this reason, If for no other, I desire here and now to reply to Mr.
Wanamaker ln tone and language
about which lt will not be possible to
have any misunderstanding. The political disappointments suffered by Mr.
Wanamaker have preyed upon his sensitive mind to such an extent that he
has gone politically mad. John Wanamaker Is the Agulnaldo of Pennsylvania politics. The Republicans Of
our state stand ln the position of Dewey at Manila. They have sailed over
mines of falsehood and torpedoes of
misrepresentation. They have confronted and put to silence the most
formidable batteries of their decjared
enemies who openly display a hostile
flag, and they will not hesitate now to
make a submarine fleet of the little filibustering squadron, led by Mr. Wanamaker in the rear, and seeking to disguise Its purposes under Republican
colors.
COMPARED WITH AGULNALDO.
As in the case of the Insurgent leader
of the Filipinos, the Republican party
has made Mr. Wanamaker all that he
is politically and most of what he is
commercially. It has furnished his
arsenal. Its policy has been the means
of equipping him with the vast wealth
whioh he ls now lavishly using to disrupt the party because the sovereign
WiU Of the people deoided adversely to
bis ambitions for holding offlce. Up
until that event, only a few months
ago, if he was not satisfied with the
conduct of the party he made no sign
of dissent. During all his last term
of offlce, holding one of the most influential in the gift of the president,
he wiUingly, eagerly, followed the advioe and guidance of the very same Republican leadership which he now denounces as unspeakably bad and so
dangerous to the welfare of tbe commonwealth that the party must be
broken down and the state banded
over to the Democrats rather than lt
should be continued.
He goes further even than Agulnaldo.
The latter oniv threatens to betray
those who have made him powerful in
order that he shall have absolute independence for himself anil his followers. Mr. Wanamaker demands not only
independence, but domination. After
being fairly and decisively defeated ln
open convention, with every contested
question, generously decided in his favor, after free and open primaries, he
challenges the verdict of the majority
and offers his alliance and the final
weapons with which the Republican
party has equipped bim to the Democrats, the Swallowites, to any and every political organisation whioh promises him a chance to prove his ingratitude and take revenge for hia disappointed   ambition   to   tula   the   party
councils and have his ohoice of its offices.
Listen to what Mr. Wanamaker says:
"Almost two generations of our people
have grown up in the atmosphere of
corrupt publio life and they have beoome accustomed to believe that it is
not worth while to try to change lt.
Strange as it may seem, colleges,
clergymen, teachers, doctors and railroad presidents, all interested in places,
privileges or appropriations, have beoome mixed up in it."
That is to say, aooording to his ideas,
the colleges, churches, clergymen,
teachers, doctors and railroad presidents have become mixed up' ln a corrupted public life. A more outrageous,
unjust, untruthful assertion has never
been printed as coming from the lips
of any Pennsylvanian. What a dark
and dismal hope there is for our people
If, as Mr. Wanamaker says, two generations of the citlsens of this great commonwealth have grown up in a corrupt
public life.
CORRUPT PUBLIC LIFE.
It is an Insult to the Intelligence and
moral standing of more than six millions of as high minded and honorable
citizens as ever lived on the face of the
earth to say that they have been mixed
up ln a corrupt public life. He charges
In express terms that the colleges,
churches, clergymen, teachers, doctors
and railroad presidents have become
mixed up in what he alleges to be a
corrupt public life. This a fair sample
of the charges he Is making against the
Republican party. I challenge him to
name a college in Pennsylvania that ls
mixed up in corruption of any kind.
What must the University of Pennsylvania, old Lafayette, Lehigh university,
Bucknell, State College, Washington
and Jefferson, Grove City, Gettysburg,
Franklin and Marshall and hosts of
tKher Institutions of learning, which are
the proud boast of our people, think
When they read that the colleges of
Pennsylvania are charged with being
mixed up in public corruption? That
statement is too malicious to need refutation.
What will the youth and young men
of this state think when they read that
the colleges in which they are receiving their education are charged with
being mixed up with public corruption.
It is a reflection on every college president and college professor and college
student ln the state. He also charges
that tm churches have become mixed
up in public corruption. I defy him to
name a church from the New Jersey
boundary to the Ohio line that has beoome mixed up in a corrupted publio
life. He cannot and dare not name a
single instance that will be a Justification of this charge. He also makes the
same charge against the clergymen of
the state. Will he name a single clergyman who has become so mixed up? Of
course he cannot name a single instance of this character. He makes the
same charge against the teachers, the
doctors and the railroad presidents of
Pennsylvania. I ask him to name a
teacher, a doctor or a railroad president
that has beoome implicated in any public corruption. Unless he names one hie
assertion should arouse the indignation of every citizen of the commonwealth.
MR. WANAMAKER'S VOTE.
What was Mr. Wanamaker doing
during the past two generations when
he alleges this corruption was growing
up in our public life? A generation of
man is said to be about 82 years, and
two generations would almost measure
the life of Mr. Wanamaker. Where was
his vote during all this time? If this
publio corruption has been growing for
so great a length of time, ls lt not remarkable that Mr. Wanamaker only
discovered it after he was defeated ln
his aspirations to be eleoted United
States senator? Is it not a peculiar fact
that the light only began to dawn ln
his mind after he had suffered two defeats at the hands of the Republican
party? The man who would quietly sit
ln his offlce surrounded by the goods,
wares and merchandise of a great store,
building up a princely fortune, knowing
that such practices were obtaining and
failing to raise his voice against the
iniquity, is as guilty of outraging pubUc confidence as the man who is engaged in such practices.
Mr. Elkin took up the act of assembly providing for the payment of interest by banks having state money on
deposit, and proved by .the dates and
pages of the official records that, while
he himself had drawn the bill, and the
Wanamaker faction deserved no credit
for Its passage other than that a majority of every party and faction of a
party voted for it, not a single vote,
Democratic or Republican, was oast
against it.
He also paid attention to the disputed question of who was responsible
for the defeat of Colonel Stahle for congress ln the York, Adams and Cumberland distriot, and scored probably the
most dramatic point of the evening by
producing the affidavit of one of the
candidates for the legislature In Cumberland county that Stahle was taken
out of the flght ln pursuance of a direct and expUclt dicker, whereby the
two candidates from Cumberland county were required to pledge themselven
ta writing to vote for Wanamaker for
United States senator.He brought down
the house by producing the maker of
the affidavit on the stage to substantiate his statement personally. Continuing he said!
A NEWSPAPER CONTROVERSY.
Mr. Wanamaker has been preaching
the doctrine of purity ta politics
throughout the state during the past
year. He desires to Impress on the
minds of our people that he ls making an attempt to lift politics onto a
higher plane. I have no doubt that he
has been able to fool some very conscientious and deserving people with
his suggestions, but those of us who
are familiar with the methods of his
campaign managers are fully convinced
that his entrance into the political
arena has done more to commercialize
the politics of Pennsylvania than all
the other influences combined. As an
instance of the higher plane to which
Mr. Wanamaker ls going to elevate
the poUtics of our state, it win be interesting to note the controversy between the Galeton Dispatch and the
Potter Enterprise, two papers which
bowed to the peculiar Influence with
which Its managers conduct a campaign, and is a pretty good evidence of
the high plane to which Mr. Wanamaker is going to elevate the politics
of this great commonweath. Here is
the story as told by the papers above
referred to:
The Galeton Dispatch Calls up a "political acrobat." Let's see, Hayden, It ls
not ao very long ago that you took, in
our offlce and ln our presence, a nice roll
of anti-Quay money and promised upon
your word and honor to be faithful to the
cause agalat boss rule and corruption.
You took the money, you young Sunday
school hypocrite, and how much you
value your "word of honor" the columns
of your paper show. You sweet scented
bird, to talk about "acrobats," Until
Sullivan lifted you out you wined like a
sick cat for money—money from any
source, for whioh you were willing to
promise anything.—Potter Enterprise.
The editor of The Enterprise, who seems
familiar with the above case, forgot to
state all the facta of the contract, which
he claims ls broken, making the editor of
The Dispatch an Ignoble liar. First and
foremost, we supported Wanamaker and
a few of his followers who were candidates for nominations, several Issues before we were approached by Wanamaker's lieutenants ln this county, who
proffered ua financial assistance, with the
understanding that we were to support
Wanamaker and his candidates until the
nominations, which we did to the best
of our ability. This was consistent with
our own views of the political situation
at that time. At the primaries the whole
Wanamaker force was honorably defeated. The candidates nominated are men
of unimpeachable characters, capable and
loyal workers in the party—three potent
factors in their receiving the nominations.
How well the coterie of Wanamaker followers performed their part of the contract ln the case they well know. We
fully performed our contract, which la
more than the defeated faction can say.
The "roll" of anti-Quay money that "nie
Enterprise claims that we reoeived in his
office was a widow's mite aa compared
With the fabulous sum The Enterprise
editor said that he was to receive. We
are ready at any time to accept the balance due on the contract. Office hours
from ? a. m. to lo p. m.—Galeton Dispatch.
The above furnishes a glimpse of the
"purer politics" introduced Into Potter
county by the man who boasted he would
"rather have $100 in money to carry Potter county than all the newspapers ln lt."
Of course, Wanamaker never was guilty
of "subsidizing the press."—Potter County
Journal,
FLAGS AND PATRIOTISM.
Mr. Wanamaker, for some reason not
entirely apparent, says "the Quay machine is cunningly campaigning with
books wrapped up ta flags and pictures
of our honored president. A man might
carry a thousand flags and not be a patriot." It is very true that the carrying of a flag does not make a patriot,
but the American flag is the symbol of
patriotism, and no party has a greater
right to use that emblem of a united
oountry than the Republican party.
The Republican party saved the Union
intact. The Republican party made it
possible to unfurl the flag today "without a star missing or a stripe erased
or polluted," and all this was accomplished by our party without the aid of
Mr. Wanamaker. So far as history
gives us any account he took no part
ta defending the flag when the life of a
nation was threatened. The only patriotic service performed by him, so far
as we have any knowledge, is that related by himself, when he stood on the
corner of Sixth and Market streets in
1861 and watched the boys in blue as
they marcheft by on their way to the
front ta defense of their country and
Its flag.
I do not know whether Mr. Wanamaker is ln the habit of carrying a
flag or not, but I am prepared to agree
with him that he "might oarry a thousand flags and not be a patriot."
THE   PAYROLL.
I note the malice of his remarks ta
reference to what he calls a padded I
payroll. While he has said much about
a padded payroll so far as I know he
has not made any satisfactory explanation of what he meant. The fact is,
there was no padded - payroll ln. the
sense he seeks to establish. There were
some extra employes in the last session
of the legislature, Just as there have
been during the past 25 years. That tbe
legislature had the right to appoint extra employes was recognized by the
members, senators, the governor, the
state treasurer, the auditor general and
other state officials. The members and
senators friendly to Mr. Wanamaker
recognizzed this practice as well as all
others. In the senate, as I have before
stated, there were nine extra employes
agreed upon. Five of these extra appointments were given to senators who
supported Mr. Wanamaker in his candidacy for the United States senate.
i.:*i&ii£a»ifei;imi^^
His most enthusiastic admirer and almost constant companion in his tonr
of speechmaking, Senator Kauffman,
•had one of these extra places. The
name of tbe extra employe on the list
credited to Senator Kauffman was -B.
W. Weaver, as I am informed.
I am also Informed by the chief olerk
of the senate that Senator Kauffman
did not object to this arrangement,
and that he had received and receipted
for part of the money due his extra employe. It would seem as though, if
Senator Kauffman was willing to have'
his one appointee on the extra list and
receipted for part of the money due
him on his salary, that there could not
have been anything particularly wrong
ta that transaction, else such an ardent
reformer would not have received and
receipted for part of the money advanced by the state treasurer.
NOT A DEMOCRATIC YEAR.
- Again listen to the suggestion of this
political reformer when he asks: "How
long, suppose you, Will it be before this
state goes Democratic?" Let me answer. Not until the people are willing
to exchange comfortable homes for
public soup houses and until the laboring men prefer idleness and misery to
plenty of work and good wages. This
ls a Republican state, and It will be
found In the Republican column when
the votes are polled and the ballots
counted on the evening of the 8th day
of November next. This ls not a Democratic year. Pennsylvania is not a
Democratic state. Our people will not
be fooled by the vaporings of a defeated candidate for public offlce. I have
faith ln the intelligent decision of the
great mass of the American voters.
They know what Is their best interests.
They will not desert the party that has
restored properous business conditions
and increased the opportunities and
wages of labor all over the land, in
order to help gratify the selfish ambitions of a defeated candidate.
So long as Mr. Wanamaker was in accord with his party the people Who believe in that party were willing to listen
to his suggestions in reference to its
Welfare, but just as soon as he arrayed
himself against the party he lost the
confidence and respect, of the people
who believe ta its principles and policies. He will learn when It Is too late
that lt is not within the power of any
man, no matter if he has the reputed
wealth of an oriental monarch, to purchase the convictions of intelligent
Amerloan citlsens. Conviction is not
a purchasable commodity, and he who
enters the political arena having nothing but immense wealth to commend
him to the suffrages of the voters, will
fall by the wayside a disappointed
seeker for publio offlce.
THB ATTACKS ON THE PARTY.
Fellow Republicans, fellow citizens—
for this is a matter which overleaps
party lines and concerns the whole people of Pennsylvania—when we read the
reckless haranaues of those who, Ifi
one disguise or another, are attacking
the ticket representing the Republican ■
party in Pennsylvania, and when we
coolly consider them, who is there that
ls not struck with amazement? if one-
tenth—yes, if one-hundreth of What
they charge is true, and if they have
evidence to support their assertions it
only needs the offer of that evidence to
any court of quarter sessions to convict
the guilty and deliver them over to
punishment. It needs no elaborate machinery of law. It requires no defaming
of the name of Pennsylvania in the eyes
of the country. It calls for no such expensive campaign as they are waging.
It demands no such sacrifice as delivering the state over to the Democracy. They need only to take their evidence to the nearest justice of the

letter of shame upon her breast? How
do they dare to proclaim a yellow flag
quarantine against Pennsylvania as a
state tato whioh no self respecting man
Khali dare to come and hope to preserve
his manhood, or even his property?
Pennsylvania, the home for more than
two hundred years of education, free
speech and fair play—one of the few
commonwealths that from its beginning under the great Quaker, William
Penn, has steadfastly adhered to the
principles of liberty and morality whioh
he taught and whioh he and his successors in government have engrafted into
our laws. Is lt characteristic of suoh a
corrupted and debased people as the
enemies in onr household describe that
Pennsylvania should lead all other
states in the number of Its churches,
Congregations and places of worship?
THE REPUBLICAN RECORD.
Is tt a sign of our degradition that wc

grand army of over a million children
in our publio schools, with a flag over
every school house as an object lesson
ta the love of their country, and that
we appropriate every year almost wtco
as large a proportion of our state revenues for the education of the people as
any other state in the Union? Is lt et
characteristic of those who enslave a
people that they would first educate
them, not only in intelligence, but in
patriotism? Is lt a sign of corruption
