Tlie I>ailv Review. Towanda, Pa., Saturday, Sept. 17, 1881. CBITOHB B. W. ALVORD. NOBLE N.AI.VOKI "■Mailt? fterieor" only 4ft rrafi per utoulh. fry it. Senator Davies on Wolfe. Mr. Burr of the Philadelphia Prens was Here the other day and interviewed Sena tor Davies on the State Treasurer ques tion. Those who know the Senator did not need his emphatic, unequivocal con demnation of Mr. Wo,fe's course. Mr. Davies is a Republican and while he would be excused for feeiing sore over the unfair treatment of the oosses, lie takes his defeat good-naturedly,and gives his successful competitor a hearty sup port, just as his friends all over the State knew he would. The interview is readable and will be relished by our read crs: TOWANDA, PA., Sept. 14, 1881. It is strange to see how the people oi different localities are affected by an event interesting to all alike. Up here in this northern tier of counties, known as the "G'braltar of Republicanism," where- the light against what is called the machine really begun and is most aggressive, the revolt of Mr. Wolfe against the Republi can nominee for State Treasurer does not create as much apparent interest as it does in the cent-r of the State where there is less reform sentiment. There is some quiet feeling and talk here, but I doubt if Mr. Wolfe can get any consider able number of Republicans of standing in this section to support him at all,much less lake an active interest in his canvass. It is by no means easy to get these quiet, industrious citizens, we (led to the party to join in a revolutionary movement, no matter what the provocation. To be sure, Mr. Wilmot once lead them. Demo crats and Whigs alike, into the greatest political revolution of the age. But that was upon the great slavery question—an issue too broad to be coupled with a sim ple struggle as to which faction of the Republican party shall control its ma chinery and dispense the patronage. The Republicans of this end of the State are very strong in the faith, and will kick very hard inside the truces and do a great deal of protesting, but voting for an in dependent candidate is not in their line. When a candidate is "settled," as they call It, he is sure enough "settled" to control their political action. Vet. Mr. Wolfe will get some votes in the North ern Tier. but they will be quiet ones and dropped in with caution. There will be now and then a man who will help him this much, but he will g t little, if any, active support unless appearances are very deceptive. The party seems in good shape and heart and it revolution against it strikes the rank and lile, even more than the leaders, much as would it cru sade against their religion. The place from which [ write is the home of Mr. W. T. Davies, the Reform candidate, whom General Baily defeated. Mr. Davies is State Senator trom this county, and has always held a prominent place in the party here for years. There is even little apathy here, much less any decided expressions in favor of Mr. Wolfe. If, then, the home of the defeated candi date, where there must necessarily be disappointment and the pride of the par ty more or less hurt,furnishes no distinct evidence of comfort for the revolutionist, it may well be taken for granted that General Baily will not suffer materially in the Reform end of the State. There is nevertheless a great deal of feeling and some resentitnont that might be nurs ed into active life it some strong Repub lican who has the conlideuce of the peo ple would-stand out and make the light. No such man can, I think, be found, for nil the leaders I have seen, while they are cross and lull of fight, propose to stand by the party and continue their contest srrictly within its limits. Towanda is a pretty little place, nest ling down among the mountains in a fertile little valley along the Lehigh. It has many fine homes and pleasant people. But I have told the reaeers of the Press all about its people, wealth, etc., recently in reciting some of David Wilmot's his tory. suggested by a visit to his grave, not a gun-shot from where I write, so I will devote myself to the object of my visit and talk politics. There is a natural desire in all parts of the State to know where Mr. Davies himself, the defeated candidate for the Trcasurership, stands, and I dropped off the train here at an early hour this morning, on my way north, to lind this out. Mr. Davies sat in his spacious library in almost as pretentious and elegant a home as there is in Towan da as lie welcomed me. Neither of us lost any time in approaching the all-ab sorbing subject. Our talk lasted for a long time and Mr. Davies spoke with great freedom and frankness. " I am unequivocally opposed to the course Mr. Wolfe has taken," said lie. ' No single individual, no matter what his position, after acting with others in a great cause, should, without consulta tion with his associates, take a step cal culated to bring reproach upon it. Much less lias he a right to run counter to the expressed wish of, I might say, every other man in it. J regret sincerely that lie should have thought differently." " Will his candidacy have much effect or get much support in this section?" "Our people are Republicans, sir. There is a great deal of feeling here against the action of the Ilarrisburg Con vention. Our people thought and still think that when a man has created a fol lowing and become known throughout the State, t here is no reason for his being set aside for one unknown simply because he does not suit a few leaders, but that feeling will lind expression,in some other way .than by rebellion against the Repub lican party. Mr. Wolfe will, no doubt, get some votes in this section if lie per sists in his candidacy, hut not many un less he can have some active, well-known Republicans to t ike hold of his canvass, which I do not think at all probable." "Will you support General Baily?" "Most assuredly 1 shall. I shall take active part in the can vug's here tit, home and do what I can to secure his election. I cannot possibly see what Mr. Wolfe expects to gain by a different course. Suppose he should succeed in defeat ing General Baily, sue what he lias done to the party, lie will widen the breach, already too great, and above all will bring into ridicule, the movement he pro fesses to have so much at heart. The vote he will get will not represent a hun dredth part of the strength of the reform element and yet it will stand before the world to a greater or less extent as the power of the opposition to the machine. It will almost make it ridiculous, when in reality it represents a great majority of the party." "Wus there u chance for it to find ex pression wituin the party?" "Certainly there was. It, was growing stronger every day and by making Un tight this year inside the party and quiet ly instructing the people we wohld have gained strength enough to have made a ticket next year which would have been acceptable to every element of the Re publican party. We want unity and faith in the party and these can only be found in fidelity to the party. Leaders we must have. Organization is necessa ry. The wrong to be coirected is the ar bitrary and unjust use of power by our leaders, and thjs can only be accomplish ed by a steady contest within party lines. It is not leaders that are objectionable, but their methods. Mr. Wolfe himself, I believe acknowledges this." "Will ho defeat General Baily?" "That cannot be told now. But sup pose he doos, what has been gained? lfl the defeat of the ticket had been desira ble,there was no trouble about that. If the delegates to the Convention who did not favor General Baily had remained sullen lie could not have been elected. If the word had been passed that it was necessary to correct the abuses of which the people complain, that he he stricken j down, he could not have been carried, through with all the power now in the j hands of the leaders. The movenicht is j just that strong when there is uniform j action and expression, but no single in- j dividual can set up his judgment against ; all the rest, go outside the party, and j carry any considerable strength with | him. But I insist that ihe loss of the i ticket this year by a ievo.lt is <► nly r not essential to the effort to correct the abus es complained of but will have the effect of retarding if not defeating, the move ment. We want party unity upon a plane honorable and just to all Republicans. We want and must have - party harmony to insure party success and it cannot be obtained by destroying the party organi zation. It, must he reached by a struggle inside, and I believe we have reached a point where there will be no more troub le unless this ill-advised step of Mr. ! Wolfe's shall undo what has been accoin- I plished." "Von do not expect the least trouble I here at your home, then?" My friends will give him a hearty snp -1 port, and there will, I think, be little trou ' ble anywhere in the northern counties. The canvass, I suppose, will be vigorous, ; and there ought to be no doubt or the re sult. I for one do not mean to relax my | efforts either in behalf of the party or the movement within it, to compel a more just, liberal policy in its management. Mr. Wolfe, much as he has done and hon est as lie may be, does not represent all iof the Independent elmeut." Mr. Davis ! said much more than I have been able to ' write, but here is enough to show his ! position. It seems to me to be too strong for assault and too fair for adverse criticism by either side. Tin; Report' r, will put his position thus in its issue ot to-morrow : "None will be more earnest or more ! active in giving such support than Sena tor Davies himself. Mr. Davies is a be liever, and strong believer, in the doe ! trine that party differences should be set j tied within party lines. lie counts the I success of the Republican party and tire | advancement ol its principles as of far more importance than the victory of a ' faction or the honoring of an individual, i Believing this, he and his friends will i give to General Baily a cordial, hearty i support."
