The political mantle that Quay wore
for so many years fell on the shoulders

Penrose, but Penrose never was the poli
tician that Quay was. Hs allowed the
machine In Philadelphia to become too
grasping. The leaders ware to reap ths
great benefits of a steal of the gas
works. They thought they had the
mayor with them, for John Weaver
was first made district attorney by the
machine and then elevated to the mayor
alty chair. But the machine counted
without the people, for the cltlsena of
Philadelphia held maaa meetings on ths
steps of the cHy hall and denounced the
attempted gas works steal. Weaver
turned on his m altera and harkened to
the voice of the people. The gas works
steal was stopped snd out of this agita
tion grew the City party, largely com
posed of. the decent element of the
Republican party.

The reform thus Started has spread
throughout the state with the result
that there are practically only two tick

that of tho Fuslonlsts, composed of
the reform or Lincoln Republicans and

there has been lota of twists and turas.
This fusion of good cltlsena grew out
of the blocking of the gas works steal.
Mayor Wser of Philadelphia was
with the poople. He had reformed. Ha
had left the odious company which had
mads hlit. He would bend every effort
to redeeming the city. He was hailed
aa the ehansplon of the people not only
at home but elsewhere.
To show his good faith he turned out
of bis cabinet directors of departments
who were known to favor the old ma
chine. He put In their places good
sound conservative business men. He
called to his aid a board of advisers,
composed of such msn as Charles Emory
Smith. Colonel William Pot'.er, Dr. John
H. Musaer. Rudolph Blankenburf and
other cltlsens of equal note. PHIladel-

The chance casting away of a party of

It just managed to hold together. The
good work done ; in Philadelphia spread
to other sections and reform was on

Tbs City party and fuslonlsts had in
mind another man, who had proved a
Tearless fighter. This was Clarence D.
Qlbboney, who, a few years ago. waa
a drug clerk, who. In his spars time,
studied law and became secretary of
the Law and Order society. As Its sec
retary he uncovered vies which ths po
lice, under ths machine, declared did
not exist. Hs not only uncovered vice,
but he brought the offenders Into court.
He was fearleaa and he was a born
fighter and ths cltlsens determined that
they would rather trust the punishment
of the rascals and grafters to Qlbboney
than anyone elae. His campaign was a
whirlwind. Mayor Weaver saw that hla
favorite Shoyer was about to be de
feated, and hs endeavored to return to
ths tactics of ths old machine by hav
ing the police and fire departments nils
ths primary election. But ha had
placed at the head of thsae men Colonel
Sheldon Potter and as the director of
Public Hsfety, hs having taken the po
lios and firemen from politics, refused
to allow them to enter again aven at
tbs mayor's request Shoyer waa de
feated and Olbbsney was nominated.

With defeat rankling In his breast
Mayor Weaver called for the resigna
tion of Colonel Potter and his first as
sistant, Tom South. He want further
and demanded and received the resigna
tion of Assistant Director of Public
Works Hicks, tbs only man who had in
his possession ths means of bringing to
justice the grafters who reaped fortune
out of the Alteration contracts. Hs
tried to remove Superintendent of Po
lios Taylor, but while ths reformers
were In control they hsd fixed that po
sition on the civil service list and ths
mayor was balked In his endeavors to
egatn control ths police "aa political' fec
tars. Ha became euaplclous of every
man who had been at his side with
kindly advlos and words of encourage
ment during the gaa works attempted
steal. He turned from his board of ad
viaora and tbey resigned. Ia the mean
time he had opened negotiations for hla
return to the old machine clique, and
they have welcomed him back, but not
until he had announced that he was
favorable to leasing ths gas works to
ths combine for another 10 years. That
was hia penalty for favoring the re
formers for a few months.
