Bedford Gazette (Newspaper) - September 27, 1901, Bedford, Pennsylvania VOL BEDFORD PA FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 27 1901 ESTABLISHED IN 1805 Because the Gang Broke Its Pledges DEMOCRATIC LEADERS For Sacli COD As Have Will Be From the CZOLGOSZ CONVICTED Special Correspondence of the GAZETTE September 24 The resignation of ex-Governor Pattison as chairman of the city Democratic com- of was the surprise of the past week Wnen that distinguished citizen accepted the chairmanship of that committee there was a good deal of astonishment ex- pressed by Democrats throughout the state For years the Democratic in Philadelphia has been atrocious and every observing crat throughout tac state has known for some ume that it was simply a for political commerce with the Quay machine But until the rules were changed at the last cratic state convention it was ble to remedy the evil Democracy ii the revolution To over- turn an without the countenance of law would be and therefore the Democratic leaders of the state were obliged to sit through a number of years helplessly while the party was being betrayed because there was no warrant of law for declaring the Philadelphia invalid During the recent session of tho legislature the leaders of the cratic organization of Philadelphia participated in every corrupt jDb oi the many of which General the other day complained Creasy as a member of the legislature fighting these corrupt measures sarily became aware of the facts and after his election to the chairmanship naturally protested against association with the boodlers He brought the matter to the attention of National Committeeman Guffey PAttison and others and measures to rescue the organization from the traitors were at once begun After a thorough canvass of the su it was discovered that the only course open was to induce Chairman Donnelly to resign in order that a successor might bj elected who had integrity and the confidence of the people of all parties Ex-Governor Pattison was by mous agreement chosen for the place lie was averse to entering into active politics in that way but yielded to the importunities of leading Democrats including Gafley and Creasy with the promise of Donnelly and Ryan that taey would co-operate with him in his plans to rehabilitate the party Except for this manifestation of con- on the part of the distrusted leaders they would have been fully condemned and incontinently ex- from the organization by the state convention But they promised freely and ly cheerfully in the ment which had been they escaped condemnation were these who left the convention for the reason that they still distrusted Donnelly and Ryan but when Pattison Guffey and Creasy vouched for the honesty of their poses all opposition was defeated and the condemnatory resolutions were withheld But when the pledges made to Pattison Guffey and Creasy were broken the other day there was no alternative but to adopt the course which was taken In other words when Donnelly and Ryan refused to laith with the reputable ments in the politics of Philadelphia by agreeing to fusion against the machine there was nothing left for a man of honor and like Governor Pattison to do bnl resign and he did that promptly The cursory observers of politics might jump to the conclusion that reform will suffer through the course adopted by Governor Tbe Presidents Murderer Will Die In the Electric Chair BUFFALO N Y September 4 35 o'clock this afternoon F Czolgosz the assassin was pronounced guilty oi murder in the first degree The penalty is death in the electric chair Sentence will be pronounced at 2 p m Thursday The trial was one of the shortest of its kind on record It occupied but eight hours and twenty-five minutes There were seventeen witnesses for the prosecution the prisoner refused to permit anybody to testify in his behalf The assassin was pronounced sine by the eminent specialists on insanity who examined him Those who testified were some of the geons who attended the president and of persons who were near him when he was wounded The medical men described the wounds and swore that they caused Mr McKinley's death The testimony of the other witnesses was in the main a description of the tragedy J L Quackenbush a ber of the Pan-American reception committee District At- torney Penney and the assistant dis- attorney had some conversation and then the prisoner in reply to tions stated that he had killed the president because he believed it to be his duty He understood the position in which he had placed himself and was willing to take his chances gosz said he had gone to the Falls on the previous day with the intention o shooting the president but was unable to carry out his intention He came to Buffalo and got in line with the people at the Temple of Music The defendant told us how he concealed his weapon how he kept his hand con- in his pocket while waiting to reach the president's side Whea he reached a point in front of the dent he fired If he had not been stopped he said he would have fired more shots He said he had been watching the president for three or four days for a favorable opportunity of shooting Did he give any reasons for wishing to kill the Yes he said that he did not believe in the present form of government or in any of the institutions of it He said he had for several years the doctrine of anarchy He believed in no government no marriage tions aad said he attended church for some time hut they talked nonsense and would not continue there He said he believed in free love He gave the names of several papers he had read four of them and he mentioned one known as Free Society He said he had been influenced by the teachings of Emma Goldman and by another woman living in Cleveland whose name 1 don't recall I asked Czolgosz to make a brief statement for and he wrote out the killed President McKinley be- cause I done my duty I don't believe one man should have so much service aad another man should have none This statement he signed District Attorney Penney asked Mr if the prisoner had said he was alone in this crime ft Happenings of the Past Seven Days THE IMPORTANT EVENTS

entirely alone planned the crime carried it out alone and was willing to take the was the reply The miserable assassin of President McKinley has had all the rights and privileges to any other person accused of crime He will die in the electric expiation wofully inadequate to his unprovoked and insensate crime but all that can be exacted in a country like ours The Case son That is to say such persons might assume that the ex-governor had surrendered to the traitors the citadel of reform But there is ing further from the truth Thanks to the wisdom and forethought of the Democratic leaders of the state visions were made by the last cratic state convention for just suah contingencies as have arisen In other words the convention appointed a committee of eminent and able i crats and invested them with authority exercise a supervisory power over tshe Philadelphia organization and supplemented that action by amending the rules so that a corrupt tion may be removed and an hones organization substituted without being revolutionary Under these changed conditions the resignation of Governor Pattison will be followed at once by the assertion of its authority by the under the changed rules the immediate rescue of the party grom the In view of thess facts the present situation may be summed up in this There is no Democratic in Philadelphia at all and the field is open for the creation of one Now as no organisation would be ter than a corrupt one the party would he better off even if the power to create an honest organization was absent But the new rules of the party not only authorize creation of a new but point out the way which is now open to Pattison and the thousands of i others who are in sympathy with and him in the present movement Thus we have not only gotten rid of a loathsome disease not only has a cancer been cut away but we the wound healed and are ready lo resume work with healthy body confident mind Within a few days Governor Pattison will have a Democratic committee which is sive to the Democratic conscience in existence and the party will be ing forward to assured victory It is small woader in view of these facts that the reform press

came as something of a surprise to the country in general Perhaps no change which he could have made would have prised the public as much as this un- conservatism But it is an old story as regards Roosevelt that the only thing you can really expect of him is tbe unexpected It is no secret that Platt and Hanna were doing considerable squirming for a few days after they realized that the man whom they had as vice- president was really headed for the White House They like it They were afraid of him they are still but in a modified way They realize that Roosevelt is going to do what he says he will and they have that much to build on but whether he will do it in the way in which they want him to is another question When he says he is going head first through a plate glass window the window bad better he insured and some of the in which these two sapient gentlemen are engaged are of the nature of a con- They are raising infant industries under glass and that sort of thing It would not be nice if the Rough Rider should put his boot through the shelter of the shipping subsidies Hanna says he will not but maybe the wish is father to the thought It is known that Roosevelt is very much interested in the ing of the merchant marine and particularly that of the navy He wishes to unite the countries of the two Americas by commercial links The question is whether he can jain the two wings of his own party so that they will flap in unison and take him where he wants to go President Kinley never exactly said anything in favor of subsidies but then he never said anything against them Roosevelt never was neutral in his life He re- minds one of a remark of one of the characters in once famous novel A Errand Old men generally get the credit for all the conservatism in the world

waa paralysis Mr Stone was born in Bedford county Roosevelt is only forty-two and that is the kind of conservative he will be when he is one at all The very exuberance of the ances of various Republican senators as to the confidence they have in Roosevelt since his decision to retain the members of the present cabinet is a little suspicious It indicates that they have been scared and now are re- assured Another thing which should not be overlooked is that Roosevelt's principal friends and supporters have not yet come to the scene It is thought that when Senator Lodge comes back from Europe there may be a change in the existing situation There is no doubt that Roosevelt will be strenuous in some direction It is said that he will favor not only a large navy but a standing army of a strength equal to that provided under the reorganization act of last winter Whether the army can be enlarged in- definitely without interfering with the welfare of the people as a whole is one of the questions not yet settled We are not ready for any such ideals of military service as those which prevail in Europe and it is doubtful if we ly want to be Another place in which there is likely to be some shaking up is the secret service President velt has been collecting testimony about the performances of the secret service men at Buffalo and it is stated that he regards them with contempt as -a

Flynt as most people know is a college-bred man who has been knocking about in the disguise of a hobo for the last ten or fifteen years gathering information about tramp and criminal classes and is possibly the best authority in the country on this subject He published an article some time ago which was a terrible arraignment of the New York detective force and the New York ple were mad They

which he and three others bad loaded coke caught fire on account of the coke not being properly cooled before loading By direction of the miners and cokers a committee of five waited on Mr Thropp Jr to if sible adjust the difficulty ly Mr Thropp was unreasonable and demanded that this brother pay the fine or be discharged totally garding the fact that there were three others equally involved in this matter As the one he wished fined was the only member of organized labor among the four who loaded the car we could not consent to such discrimination The committee failing to reach a factory settlement communicated with the general secretary-treasurer The result was that we had another con- ference with Mr Thropp at which time the general was present when Mr Thropp stated that he was going to suspend operation while repairing his furnace but would resume operation in about six weeks and his agreement was that each and every employee could resume his former position On the 17th of August the committee was notified to meet Mr J E Thropp Jr ou the 20th of August There was nothing accomplished at this conference only to set a time when the committee and general could meet Mr

for discharge Which he expected the to sign before returning to work ally cancelling bis former verbal agreement of May thereby leaving it in his power to discriminate in the re- instatement of his employees The of the conditions of his ment would be a to all organized labor and the right of the miners to select their as provided by the Act of Assembly of June and the result was it was not accepted by the men who drafted another agreement under which they agreed to work and of which the lowing is a MEMORANDUM OF First While we the employees of Kearney mines and coke works nize the
