We learn that tlie Democrats of th is State are going to make a par ticular effort to carry the Legisla ture this year; that those who are looking forward to the nomination of Mr. Pattison for (Governor think hi: candidacy will strengthen the light for the Legislature, though there may be no hope of electing the executive. This is interesting speculation, lj" 1 Miat is all. The Democrats have not carried Llie Legislature of Pennsylvania, or had a majority in either branch of it: since ISSI'. That was tin; year in which Pattison made his first cainpasgn for Gov ernoi. and everything was upset. The whole Republican State ticket was defeated. When the complete result was ascertained it was found that the Democrats had twenty-one State Senators out of fifty and 113 of the 200 members of the House. Wlille they did not have a majority in the Senate their excess in the [louse gave them a majority on joint ballot. It was however, of 110 material advantage to them as there was no United States Senator to eject i ilit i year. The political division only served to defeat reapportionment and create ex pense. In that year l'hildelphia elected fifteen Democratic members, and i>« mocrat- were elected also iu such Bounties as Heaver, Bucks, l.a nbria, Montgomery and others now reliably Republican. When Pattison made his second canvass for Governor in 1800 the Democrats en ; ted but teventy-uine members o!' the House and had nineteen members of the Senate. At that time Philadelphia elected but four Democrats, and many counties that had rgone Democratic eight years before had flopped over. The result showed that it was possible to elect a Democratic Governor without disturbing the Republican majority in the Legislature. And the result in 1890 was only against the he.Ml of the Republican ticket, -affecting no other part of it. There i- no revolt this year. There is not even such opposition as was shown last year when the State ticket was overwhelmed in a large number of counties, and the majorities considerably reduced in most others. On the basis of the vote for State Treasurer last No vember had there been an election for members of the Legislature then, the Democrats would have secured but seventeen Senators and <«uglity-live Representatives. That would not have given them a majority in either house, and, of course would have left them in the minority on joint ballot. The present apportionment is exactly the same as existed in 1800, when Democrats elected a Governor, but did not carry the Legislature. It is from these districts members will be chosen next November. It is absurd, therefore, for the Democrats to talk about carrying the Legislature, though they do not hope to elect theii candidate for Governor. If they get a total of eight}' members of the two houses they well be doing exceedingly vvell, —probably as well as they really expect.—Phi la.

' ' B Following up Flection Reform. The declaration of the Republican State Convention iu favor of honest laws for honest elections lias been followed by an utterance more in detail by the Republicans of Chester is their county convention. It is the first meeting of the kind held in an} r county since the State conven tion acted, and is therefore significant. The Chester Republicans go the whole length in their declaration, including not only laws for general elections but the demand for a uniform primary election act under which the party primaries shall be held on the same day in all the counties of the State. It has long been recognized that in many respects this is as important a matter as laws covering general elections, since in a large proportion ef the counties the whole contest centers upon the nomination. These having been made, the majorities to be depended upon at the general election being so large, the result is regarded as determined. Frauds in elections have been chiefly felt in l'hildelphia and Pittsburg. It is assured by many that the controlling political in fluences in these cities will seek to obstruct any real measure of reform, and therefore that no reform can be looked for. There is no reason why Representatives from Philadel phia and Pittsburg should attempt to interfere with election reform legislature. Each city has a reliable and large Republican majority without the necessity of resorting to fraud to swell it, though undoubtedly fraud has been practiced. Possibly there are some among the political leaders in both cities who are still anxious that opportunities for fraud shall be left open. But if all the Representatives from both cities were opposed to honest elections it would still be in the power of those elected from the interior districts to control the matter. Only one-fourth the membership of the House and one -11 ft h of the Senate are from Philadel phia and Allegheny counties. Combined to defeat honest election laws all these members could accomplish nothing against the substantially united purpose of Representatives of the interior counties to enact proper laws. And the interior members have a direct interest, since the whole State is cheated by the fraudulent votes cast or counted in any part of it. What the Chester County Repub licans have done we are bound to accept as sincere, and to believe that the formal declarations will act as instructions to the members of the Legislature from that district, it is a step that should be followed by the Republicans in every county of the Commonwealth, re-enforcing the position of the State conven tion. —Philadelphia Press. Press Comments. Wellsboro Agitator. Through one of the hottest cam paigns ever waged in this State not a single work was heard derogatory to the private or public character of Judge Penny packer. He is a man who has the courage of his convictions and his aim will be to give Pennsylva nians good government without fear or favor. He is the kind of a candi date to unite all factions of the party Ilis election is sure. Wellsboro Advocate. Of Candidate Pennypacker nothing too good can be said." Personally he is the best man for governor that Mr. Quay ever favored the people with by a thousand per cent. He is as pure and blameless as any man can well be. He is able, scholarly, in his prime men tally and physically, a Quaker, and a man the honesty of whose intentions will never be questioned. We do not believe he, knowingly, can be stood up by Quay or anybody else to do an art inconsistent with sterling integrity and if he is elected he will make a good governor. *»* Philadelphia Inquirer. It is essential that t ie administration at Washington should be supported. Great issues are involved that make for the weal or woe of the United States. The Republican policy, finan cially, commercially and in foreign af fairs, must be upheld. The country has a right to look to Pennsylvania for strength, for not only is a Governor to be elected in November, but a United States Senatorship is at stake. The Senator will be chosen by the Legisla ture, and the Legislature must have a Republican majority to elect a Repub lican Senator. In Judge Pennypacker himself Penn sylvania will have a Governor whose life is an open book, every page of which can bear the closest scrutiny. A man of learning, a close student of public affairs, a Pennsylvanian who loves Pennsylvania and glories in its greatness, he is a safe guide to place at the head of the administration. There is nothing that will advance the inter ests of the Commonwealth that he will not do; there is nothing in the way of vicious legislation that will escape his veto. Let us present a solid front to the enemy, therefore, and not only elect the State ticket in its entirety, but see to it that the close legislative districts are carried.

U CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1902. Another Dutch Governor. Without doubt, Judge Samuel \V. I'ennypacker will accept the nomi nation for Governor and will he accordingly elected—making the ninth incumbent of the office among the direct descendants of the German or Pennsylvania Dutch stock. Speaking of this "I'enn," of the Philadelphia Bulletin gives this running comment upon the Dutch Governors whose names are household words even to those who do not care much for the details of history: They have contributed from their stock not fewer than one-third of our Governors since the office was made elective in the hands of the people. The combined terms of service of these men covered a period of forty-two years. From the time when the country Democrats in this State first captured the office with Simon Snyder at their head, whom they elected for three terms, Governors from among the Pennsylvania Germans continued time and again to be elected, including John Andrew Shulze, George Wolf. Joseph liitner, Francis R. Shunk, William liigliT and .John F. Mart ran ft. Nearly all these men were conspicuous for their sturdy honest and strong sense, and Wolf, if not also Ritner, almost reached great ness in the, untiring vigor with which each became the successful champion of the free school system in public education, despite the indifference or resistance of most of his fellow Germans to that benefi | cent reform. It is not uncommon I to describe the stock as mentally heavy and politically conservative. Nevertheless the historical fact I must be recognized that the Gov j ernors who sprung from it were as i a whole excellent rulers. It would 1 hardly to possible to take any other eight occupants of the office and credit them fairly with a higher average of public virtue, steadiness and persistency of purpose, simplicity and successful results in administration than market the career and rule of the Pennsylvania German Governors at Ilarrisburg. I'ennypacker, however, will be the first of them not bred wholly in the country or to country life, and unlike most of them he is a man of generous culture and varied learning. In this respect it will not be easy to name any Governor of the State who has been his equal and certainly none has been his superior."—Lancaster Examiner. STATE AND COUNTY POLITICAL ?:OTES. The Wellsboro Agitator Bays Penny packer and other republican nominees will get 1,000 majority in Tioga county. Hon. J. K. P. Hall has been endorsed for.State senator, with power to choose his own conferees, by the Democratic County Convention of Clarion county. Senator Quay says the campaign is going to be a short one, and that the active work will not begin until the latter part of September or the begin ning of October. He intimates that he will conduct the battle personally, giving attention to many of the details. #. • When Galusha A. Grow retires from eongrest next March he will complete a total service of 22 years or 11 terms, but divided by interval of nearly 30 years. He entered congress at the age of 27 years and retires at the age of 78, one of the most notable figures in American polities. Former Governor Daniel H. Hastings sailed for Europe on Saturday to be absent two months. He is a warm, personal friend of Judge Penny packer and was among the first to congratu late him on his nomination. The ex- Governor has offered his services to the State Committee, and they have been accepted, so that shortly after his return from his trip he is likely to be on the stump helping to roll up a big Republican majority. The Phdadelphia Press says: "In surance Commissioner Durham re turned from Washington yesterday after a conference with Senators Quay and Penrose.. He had 110 statement to make regarding the plans of the lead ers for the approaching campaign ex cept that Senator Quay was of the opinion that six weeks of active work would answer every purpose this year. It is generally believed that Insurance Commissioner Durham will do most of the active work at the Republican State Convention headquarters during the campaign, although Senator Quay will hold the title of State Chairman."
