Professor McCaskey, your hands are clean, your party's hands are clean; therefore, I and thousands of others -e for you for Mayor. I. Rosenthal, Speaks. The closing speech of the evening was given by I.

Rosenthal, who was warmly welcomed, as he is popular with Young Republican audiences. He recalled the fact that this was the fourth time it had been his privilege to speak at this place in support of ihe Republican candidate for Mayor. The first occasion was for Dr. Muhlenberg, who was good as long as he lasted. The next two occasions were for the present incumbent of the office, and, were it not for the fact that the people of this country are disinclined to elect any man for a third term, the speaker thought he would probably again have had the pleasure of saying a word for His Honor, Mayor Cummings, whose acts, he said, speak for themselves.

Doctor McCaskev's deeds, he continued. are written large in the history of this city, and his words and works had testified to his character and ambition. It was not the speakers privilege to have received instruction aud precept from him, but lie had beard of the beauty of his character and thoughts from his pupils. The people ought to be congratulated upon having such a candidate, and Dr. McCaskey should be congratulated for being the representative of the Republican party, because the record of that party in this city has stood out as truly honest and courageous as does that of the candidate as the head of the High School.

When a man enters the political areua, said the speaker, he must expect to be subjected to criticism, but, no matter on1 what side his opponents might try to vilify Doctor McCaskey, he would come forth unscathed and untouched. The speaker was sorry the Doctor had taken the trouble to auswer his accusers. It was entirely One thing could be said about both candidates in this campaign. They are representative men, and stand for what Is best In the community, but the speaker feared that the marriage of the Democrats wltn the hypocritical Republicans would bring forth a strange progeny, and he would prefer to place his trust in men tried and true, and iu a party that has labored for and succeeded in giving this city the best government it has ever had, rather than fly to ills we know not of. We have heard much of "Reform but when they cry Stop, Thief! do they show the thief? We have had, and it would seem they, too, have had.

their fill of libel. What we want is proof. If we must have reform, aud its necessity has not been shown, let us have It from the character and righteousness of a man who has trained half the men in this community to noble deeds. Let us not have it from a Democrat, but from one who for fifty years has stood at the head of our schools, and of whom none can say him nay that he has' not done well. There are none here who would not have the benefits of filtered water, of good sewerage, of well-paved streets, and all that, but let us have them under the Republican party.

They have committed no crime. No Mayor has done more for this city than Mayor Cummiugs, and I believe that at a Board of Trade meeting, held some years ago, when the matter was under discussion, I was the only man to say: We have a 13,000 and not a $2,000 Mayor. We all know what our party standsfor.and If wc give up our ring, as it Is called, with Mr. Griest at its head, who knows who will be at the head of the other ring? If deeds testify anything, then for tho past twelve or fifteen years our party has ably conducted the affairs of our city. Then, turning to the candidate, Dr.

Rosenthal said: "I am neither a phophet nor a son of a prophet, but I you, sir, before your election. You will well deserve It- and, as far us I am concerned, you will have my vote and my influence. Again the crowd gave three cheers for the Republican btandard-bearer, and adjourned. Also, at the same time and place a lot of acclimated horses; consisting of trotters and pacers, all well broken.

and city. We hear so much about me evils and abuses of this leader, and of bossism, as it Is called. However this may be. one thing Lancaster must acknowledge, that is that, directly or indirectly, all the improvements of the last twelve years, at least, which nave market the transition of Lancaster from a slow, dead, unimproved town to a modern, up-todate city, are due to the very man people now so condemned by present day critics of the party in power. But I will not close without my compliments to our antagonists.

Tho candidate they have selected for Mayor is a gentleman In every sense of the word. His platform, set forth in his acceptance speech, is one of the finest, strongest and most clearly and tersely stated political documents I have ever read it is an honor and a credit to any city party. But it is almost exactly our platform. is the Republican city platform.use.l by those who more seriously need platforms to get in on, than to stand on. I file one dissent to it, and that is relative to the filter.

We should not buy It, until it has proved by years of experience that it will do the work. There is no filter except a large sand filter. That is what God makes them of; aud we cannot improve upon his workmanship. This. Mr.

Chairman, is my view of this campaign, my estimate of our opponent. and my estimate of our candidate. whom we welcome to-nislP. and in these words I hope I have shown to all a zeal temnered with judgment, and to Mr. McCaskey that ho has a warm home in the bosom of club; manv advocates and supporters iu this p-oodly citv, and that he will have a large majority at the election on the twentieth of this month.

Remarks of S. V. Hosterman, Esq. Convincing proof was assigned why Dr. McCaskey should be the choice of the electors by Sumner V.

Hosterman, the next speaker, who addressed the gathering as follows: Mr. Chairman and Fellow-Republicans: Before proceeding to what is possibly more pertinent to the issue at hand, I desire to deny a statement which Mr. Eshleman made. He said that the fellow who signed a certain article in a newspaper asJacks Boy should have signed it "Cochrans Baby. I deny that.

The fellow' who signed the article "Jacks Boy was iu very truth and in very deed "Jacks Boy Jack Steinmans Boy. On the 6th day of July, in the year 1804, under the oaks at Jackson, Michigan, an aroused and indignant national conscience gave birth to the Republican party; and ever since those strenuous days, when between three and four millions of human be-iDgs in this, our land, wore the shackles of slavery, this party, the Republican party, has answered the purposes of its existence with fewer' follies and fewer failures and more magnificent achievements than ordinarily falls to the lot of any institution of human origin. And the beginning of the end is not yet. We look back upon an illustrious past.pregnant withmany things well done; we confront the future with a confidence horn of experience, aud deservedly solicit the solution of the varied and perplexing problems which in the necessity of things must be solved in this the peerless nation of the world. I have, Indeed, a sense of great pride, therefore, in that I belong, to the Republican party, the party which does things and not to the party which opposes them; to the party which is a builder and not to the party which is a destroyer; to the party which was conceived and born in the name of Liberty and of Truth.

In a Government such as ours polit-eal parties are an absolute necessity. I grant that it may be a debatable question whether or not in municipal affairs party lines should be abolished. However, by universal consent and approval party lines in municipal affairs are not abolished, inasmuch as our whole political fabric under our present form of government demands them. Furthermore, such being the case.l maintain that party lines should not be abolished in municipal affairs, because responsibility for right-doing and wrong-doing, if you please, can at all times then be laid before a door; a door which Is well marked and unmistakably defined, namely, the party responsible. I protest, however, that if you aim to abolish party lines in municipal affairs, you dare not substitute in their stead malicious libel, unproven and unfounded cowardly insinuations of official dishonesty, selfish ambition, slander and hypocrisy.

If you abolish party lines, and tho re-s ronslblllty attaching to say iLe Issue then Is men. With Professor J. P. McCaskey as the Republican candidate for Mayor in this dear and historic old town of Laeaster we are eminently competent and abundantly qualified to meet any and all opposition, with party lines down or party lines up. Any man who aspires to the high office of Mayor in a city the character of Lancaster ought to bo possessed of those indispensable requisites.

He ought to be courageous, ho ought to bo intelligent, he ougnt to be honest With these requisites he is unqualifiedly eligible for the office aud worthy of overwhelming support. And if to these you may add knowledge of men and affairs generally, love for his city, its people and its worthy institutions, then I Buy lie is so much the rahre eligible and worthy of enthusiastic supporL I challenge any man or any newspaper to say that you, Sir, are devoid of or lacking in auy of these prime requirements. Professor McCaskey, it was never my good fortune to sit at your thus receive the noble teachings which have fallen from your llp6, and which have been manifested in your sterling character for a half-century In this city; teachings which have aimed to give us men, men of faith and character; men whoso hearts the strongest topes inspire: nyu who 'Ould ne'er tffiame their mothers; deny it. They say he will lose it in politics. That is as impossible as to imagine him without It how, Only those who have no conception of what character is could tiare to make such a statement.

No man can complain if people make up their opinions of what he will do in the future by the light of what he has done in the past. This is all we ask for McCaskey. the other hand, every man has a right to have his future pre-judged by the record of his past, and By no other standard at all. That is what we demand for McCaskey. Our foes, indeed, are hard to please.

They question Dr. McCaskeys political capacity, and lament his lack of political experience; but they dread tho political capacity of those who have skill and experience In the art of government. Not only bis character, but also his situation in our town life, his circumstances and relations to private business, fit him admirably for Mayor. No man ought to be Mayor ofmodernLan-caster who has large private interests that will take three-fourths, one-half, one-fourth, or any considerable portion of his time and attention. For ibis reason, I am and will be unalterably opposed, to any man for Mayor (however good or otherwise well qualified) who will give city affairs only part of his time.

I was very outspoken and decided In my opposition to certain prominent doctors, lawyers and business men who were rumored Republican candidates for Mayor, because it meant their private concerns would get the most and best of their lime and attention, and the city the remainder. This would not be fair nor nonest. Such a Mayor could not take the emoluments of the office wnh a feeling that he had earned them. Robbing a people of the time that belongs to them is as bad as robbing them of their money. Those who are so accustomed to charging the latter crime had better, in this instance, reflect a moment upon the former.

One of the most satisfactory features of Mayor Cummings administration was the fact that he was always there, and you did not need to wait until his private nus.ness released him to see him on the public business you were paying aim for. Such will continue to bo the case with Dr. McCaskey. He will not aave a large mercantile business to take most of his time, but he will give all of his time to his office, as any honest official should, and, under oath, must do. Lancaster is now a big town, and jvery hour of tho Mayors time cau be ised to study its its Interests, its needs, its economics and its velfare generally.

It is entirely a liffereut corporation from the little lirty, backward, unimproved excuse was fifteen years ago. I have heard it argued that our Mayor ought to be the owner aad manager of some large business establish-nent that one who has not succeeded in some large industrial concern is lot a proper person ior Mayor. I flatly leuy that great industrial success is he best promise of a good Mayor. The nen needed to-day more than any ather class are tlio common, everyday, fearless, honest ones. They are more needed for America's permanence and welfare than all our pyrotechnic, brilliant men, more than our millionaires more needed than any other sort of nen.

If we had to give up either class our plain, quiet, fearless, honest, veryday men who modestly act lion-irably toward their families and the lommunity, or the witty, brilliant and 3minent class we could lose all the atter with less harm than the former. It has also been contended that Mr. IcCaskey, in spite of his character of mswerving rectitude for three-scores if years aud more, will be suppliant to he wish of corrupt politicians. Those vho say so mistake the man; or mor-illy perjure themselves. The latter Is lkely true; because they would say he same of any mau the Republican larty should nominate.

They would my the same thing about the man they iave themselves nominated if he vere to-night the Republican candi-late. Therefore, that criticism is a lishouest one. The Republican partys opponents ire saying that Mr. McCaskey is not a jublic-spirited man; he has not )een conspicuous in. the Board ol prade; amj Is not identified with any if the city's great, improvements.

They visli to qiako it appear that he will able zeal. and, push; aud not keep the it in the van of improvements. Tho answer to all this Is that Mr. McCaskey is one of the best and bravest patriots in the true sense of he word in this city. Ho is connected with thousands of acts aud events if local pride; he has been the head und front of scores of them; he has speut a life of sacrifices for our people; be has doue more than any other Lancaster citizen to brighten up and per-letuato by monuments the patriotic records of our city's great aud noble neu of former days; he has spent fitty rears in teaching the beauty of a lofty natriotism the sanctity of a pure borne the grandeur of a noble man.

Vo one, in the face of this, dare assert hat he does not love this city with a leeper and truer love than the whole horde of those who cry in discordant 'landemonium. Vb aro more holy than thou. No one will be reckless nough to say that the moral, political and industrial welfare of the thousands of boys he taught In fifty years, now grown to men, is not dear aud melons to his heart, except the -oward, who was afraid to sign his name to an article in one of our lead ng newspapers, and signed it "Jack's Buv. He should have signed It "Cochrans Baby. And if our candidate has made bis 'ong.

The dreadful dragon against which he Fuslonlsts cry out fs the Republican organization, and especially its lcdged leader, In this -couut5' Continued From First Page. Lancaster and- for Lancaster? We am not make profit for ourselves, but ''we did make it for others, and I for one am glad to have done so. I don'c need the tnohoy.

It is invested there for th good of Lancaster. For some time Lancaster has been a violent storm-centre, but it has been such at many an election. We need parties and a wide latitude in the expression of opinion must always be encouraged, that mistaken views may be corrected and abuse of opportunity in public office checked and punished. We have this expresson of opinion just now, with a little more heat than usual. Within the past four years, during the administration of Mayor Cummings, there has been more done in the way of public improvement than, perhaps, during any previous eight or ten years in our history.

This has meant the outlay of larger sums of money ana the awarding of moro important contracts than usual. Of work done or under way, the filter job seems least understood, It may prove to be the best and most satisfactory of all. Experts before the Court recently gave evidence as to filters that no man can reconcile. Each man can take from it what he cares to believe, aud then go Ills way, sure.ns to the other fellow, that there Is no civic righteousness in him. Let us wait and see.

We need a filter. If this does good work it will be approved; otherwise not. When Mayor Cummings entered upon his first term of office, four years ago, there was talk of but nothing had been done. Now the filter is rapidly nearing completion. WTthin a short time, two or three months, it can be tested.

The entire city will approve or condemn. If it is a failure, the loss will not be upon the city as in the case of our West End reservoir, that monument of civic folly which stands as a beacon and a warning to all future city administrations. In closing let me say that this nomination for the honorable position of Mayor of Lancaster has come to me wholly unsolicited. If elected I shall accept the office untramelled by any conditions whatsoever, either expressed or implied, or imposed by any man or any combination of men. I shall try to do my duty, if elected to this responsible office, without fear, favor or affection.

Our city affairs should i be managed with intelligence, economy and integrity. Valuable franchises should be grauted only for a term of years and should be made a source of permanent revenue to the city. The best filter should be had at the lowest cost. Our water plant is an- asset to be constantly improved and never to be sold. We should continue the extension of our sewer system, the durable paving of our sireets.and all other improvements for which the city is responsible to the utmost limit that a wise expenditure of our public funds will permit.

In all that is best for use or for beauty we should have always in view the city of twenty-five or fifty years hence, as well as that of to-day. This I believe, and to this end I think the best efforts of Mayor and Councils should be directed, aud this is the purpose and the platform of the Republi can party, and Its friends. Not what we give, but what we share not so mu-'h the good wo do as that we help others to do and to enjoy doing not what we have and hold and hoard for ourselves and for our own. but what we use generously.help-fully, wisely, recognizing the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man these are the thngs that count for most and best, both here and hereafter. Is this politics? It is the high-water mark of the best politics 1 know.

It Is the Ideal towards which high-souled men are striving everywhere; The best good of all. The applause broke out spontaneously at various points in the course of the Doctors address, especially when ho referred to himself as being in "the thick of the fight, and that he "believed he liked it; at his statement that he never used transportation passes and never will; at his vicissitudes with the watch factory and the history of its preservation; at his allusions to Mayor Cummings excellent administration, and the ideals too which he gave expression In his conclusion. H. Frank Eshleman Presents Facts. A very effective speech, In which local issues were deftly and pointedly handled.and the oppositions argument was used as the best means to embarrass them, was that delivered by H.

Frank Eshleinau, who said: The enemies of the Republican city ticket say our candidates for re-elec tion to City Councils are bad men, and, because they have been bad, they will continue to be bad; but, they say, because Dr. McCaskey has been good, he will at once become bad. This is not reasoning, but jugglery sophistry to blast a good mans leputation; mean ness, to poison the good will in mens breasts against a prospective public servant before be can demonstrate his faithfulness to political public trust But fifty years fidelity to a public trust far higher aud holler than any political public trust is a shield from which those fiery darts rebound like arrows from armor. Moreover, the fusion forces assert that our candidate for Mayor, If elected, will go in good aud become bad; but (heirs, if elected, will go in good and remain good. This cau mean only one thing that the material out of which our candidate built his character is so gross and inferior that this bad citys politics will spoil him, while the other is of such fine mettle that he is immune.

As to the sterling btamlna of which Dr. McCatkeys character is made, the thousands and thousands of the three generations which in this city took their inspiration and moulded their manhood from his mature wisdom and precept will stand up and testify.
