LUDLOW BETUBNIKG. WashtatTtoa Interested la Coming the Governor of Havana. Washington, Nov, 4. Brigadier General Ludlow, ggyernor of the city of Havana, has cabled to the war department, stating that he leave for Wanning-ton at once, and asking that arrangements be made to avoid detention in quarantine in New York.

A dispatch was sent Dr. Doty, the quarantine officer at New Yorkv asking that he facilitate General' Ludlow's movements as far at possible. The coming of General Ludlow at this rl7mrmnderstood to Involve more than usual interest. At the adjutant general's office it is ststed that the trip is for family reasons and will be of brief duration. But in other reliable quarters it is said General Ludlow comes at the request of the higher snthorltles here, and that tbe conferences he will hold with the president and Secretary Boot are likely tn have considerable bearing on the 'question of appointing a civil governor fo: Cuba, or a successor to General Brooke as military governor.

It has been rumored that Benham's counsel will endeavor to secure a new trial for him after he is resentenced on the ground of newly discovered evidence, but if this should fail the governor will be asked to intervene and save Benham from the death chair.

JVe hav fouirht tais battle openly and vigorously jii tne only iuus Intro-cluceil in this omipaign whioh were good government, clean pnlitloe and an honest administration the affairs ot our state by our oublio We have, been contending that there mustoomealime when we may be permitted to look after our State's Internal affairs, and that Urns is now. this Is not a question pertaining to national politic however.

National ieeues ere not iufro-duoed. These questions we have discussed -openty wm in tmv-brond Kir ht of the dsy We bar no hired ensraoter sseassics skulking through tbe State in the ilaru-iiesS ot the night.

U'lie men at the helm upon our side fa tMs battle for good govfrnment are men who'would not stoop to the vile uintiiodg ot the macinne.

Machine methods in politics were always dest tC4hle. Tnorefure, tneir work of secretly spreading slander is conirenlul to Its henchmen, but we nre confident that all Kood citizens Pennsylvania to whose Intelligence we appeal put their bih nip of disapproval upon euoh -oonduot and retire the men wlio have for year dominated the pontics of the state In auuu a way as to be detrimental to ber true interests. Wlten I accepted the nomination for the offioeot State i reasurer, I made crtaln pledges as to tbe oonduut of that oflloe II elected, snd now on my closing day 1 will repeat again these pledges. 1 pledge myaelf to unooiupromleing hostility to sll oiirrupt practices illegal methods that have ben the rule of the machine treasurer In tue past. If elected I will regard myself as holding a commission from the people to administer th otflce for their sole uae aud benefit and I will keep my trust.

I will safeguard the pnblio money faithfully. vNo private or political end shall be served by the deposit or disbursement of a single dollar. All interest shall to too state. Political banks and bankers eMail receive no favors at my hands with tne public's treasure. I aid regularly publish the places of deposit of every dollar, both of the ireueral nd sinking fund monies, witu the amount on diposit in esclf place.

I will deem it my duty to carefully scrutinize every draft upon the tr-avury and Will reruee to pay wlin thn jiittc4 and legality of the claim are not tniuKest-iv eatabliatie I. I wilt observe the law in all respects. I will kep uiv oitn.

The campaign nas been one uf appeal. From us has eotue an up. eil to dioD politic for honesty, ai for patriotism an appeal t.i uinto in a victory that shall wre one man tba puwor to speak for a state that shall breas the grip which a corrupt maouine baa fastened on publiu place and shall give back to the people the power to Mlect their own candidates and their' own officials a power which plundering politicians have Dilfered from them. We have made this appeal not ss Deioo- orate, uor to uepuoncans, oat aa i-auusyi-vaoians seeking to preserve tbo honor of our Statu. If we win, it snail not be the victory of a party, but ot tbe people.

't a personal triumph tor me, but the imposition ot a trust. A trust wlt'Ctt I solemly pledge myself to perform a duty wblob I promise faithfully to carry' out. A truut from the voters, a tiuty to them. A duty to make known from the public books, reKatdlees of the atatute of limitations, all the utouse ot peblio funds, all the evidences of corruption wbieb we euara-e es.at, woetner those alsclosures bring further disgrace to men bigb In place, or whether they exonerate them. If our ebargea are true, tne people enould rejoice as at a deliverance it oar opponent are sinless and their records are pure, they should bail tbe vindication to come, a vindication not based merely on tne lapse of time.

From our opponents too, have come appeals. An appeal to Republicans to for sver settle tbe problem ot Manila by the lection of a treasurer In Pennsylvania an appeal to their party's love fur President McKinley, a love strong enough to secure bis nomination in spits of Senator Quay's opposition an appeal to stand by bins in tbe Philippines by farther intrencQ-tosr bis enemies at Usrrisburg.

We know that the eontury is going out in steps with martial inualo and tbe roar of guns. That war is swinging round the world. That in distant iuta-ern Africa the embattled farmers face fear-leeely the British Lion, while tbe echo of their cannon blends wilb the sound of our own srtillery on the other side ths globe.
