Harrisburg, Aug. 21. —Republicans and Democrats alike seem to repudi ate the arrangement entered into at a conference held last week in Phila delphia between James M. Guffey, Democratic national committeeman; John S. Rilling, chairman of the Dem ocratic state committee, on one side and William Fllnn, the insurgent lead er of Pittsburg, and David Martin, the combine and insurgent leader of Phila delphia, for fusion tickets on the legis lative candidates to defeat regular nom inees of the Republican party where the insurgent element fails to control the nominations for state senators and state representatives. PARTY TREACHERY DENOUNCED. The more this compact is discussed the greater seems to be the indignation over the exhibition of party treachery. While many Democrats think this scheme will be of advantage to them others say they will not stand for it, aa it Is purely a plan to further the per sonal intersts of James M. Guffey, in his candidacy for United States sena tor and to satisfy the desires of Martin and Fllnn. Republicans resent the proposition to defeat Republican candiates because this arrangement cannot but imperil the election of a Republican to the United States senate. It is apparent that the factional Inter ests and personal hatred of Fllnn and Martin are so intense that they prefer the election of Guffey, a Democrat, to the United States senate, than a Re publican not in sympathy with the Insurgent movement. The popular idea of the inside fea tures of this deal is that if the stal wart element will not yield to the in surgents at the next session of the legislature Martin and Fllnn and their followers will turn in and elect Guffey to the United States senate and then continue their campaigning to disrupt the regular Republican organization in the hope of naming Senator Penrose's successor. The sentiment of the Republicans generally as to this fusion business is being recognized by men who have cohtemplated joining the insurgents but who now propose to remain with the regular Republican organization and settle their differences with party leaders in the only proper manner through the primary elections. AB to the Democrats, there is a posi tive determination among many of the Influential men in the organization to stand out for straight Democratic nom inations. They will compel the bolt era and boxers of the Republican party to vote for the Democratic candidates for the legislature, rather than to put henchmen of Martin and Flinn, into the senate and the house, to do their bidding In the legislation affecting the corporations, with which they are iden tified. NOT FOR MARTIN AND FLINN. Former State Chairman John M. Garman, of the Democratic state com mittee, was in Philadelphia during the conference between Guffey and the In surgents, and he served notice that he would not be a party to any trades or deals with Martin or Fllnn. "I believe that a great majority of the Democrats of the state," said for mer Chairman Garman, emphatically, "are opposed to fusion as at present proposed by the Republican machine leaders of Philadelphia and Pittsburg. Martin and Fllnn. The Democracy can see nothing to be gained for the good of the commonwealth by the use of the Democratic organization to ad vance the political ambitions or to satisfy the political enmities of David Martin and William Fllnn. Neither of these men has anything in common with the alms and purposes of the Democratic party for the advancement of the welfare of the commonwealth and the protection of the Interests of her citizens. "The Democratic party hus for years fought the cause of real ballot reform and we cannot see how this end is to bo advanced by ulllances with Martin and Fllnn and their fellow Insurgents, who have been amoug the most per sistent enemies of bailot reform. Neither are they in sympathy with any of the other projects to which the Democratic party stands committed for the public good. "The Itomocrats who oppose fusion with Martin and Fllnn and their fol lowers are just as much averse to ad vancing the Interests of the It* publi cans who recognize Quay as their leader. The Democratic party Is com mitted to reforms which have been denied the people by the followers of Quay. We can do no good by substi tuting Martin and Fllnn for Quay, and between the two I cannot see where there would be auy Improvement In conditions In puttlug Martin and Kllnu iu power lu the state. SERVED NOTICE ON KILLING. "The Democratic party Is always strongest when It stands by Its prin ciples and Ita caudldateH. While a tem porary advantage might come In soma Instancea U» the Democracy from fu sion, party demoralisation Inevitably follows. "If the voters of Pennsylvania wish true reform and desire to Mipplaut in competent and other undesirable offi cials In the state government, they can best do this through the Itomocratlt parly putting up good, clean Deno crata and all ouuoaad to uri-sent tou- dttlons voting the straight Democratic ticket. "With assurance of the support of those Republicans who really wish re form the Democratic party will have an Incentive to put the best men on their ticket and undesirable Republican can didates can thus be defeated and re forms so sadly needed can be carried out. "I have informed State Chairman Rilling that the Democratic voters of the section of the state from which I come are opposed to fusion, and I be lieve that we will make a better show ing for the Democracy on these lines than we have ever done before." INSURGENTS' LATEST TACTICS. The insurgent news bureau and the Insurgent newspapers of the state are adopting the tacticß resorted to dur ing the session of the last legislature to keep the Democratic members in line with the Guffey-Flinn-Martin pro gram. They are accusing Democratic leaders who do not turn in for fusion with being corrupted, but they are evi dently not meeting with the same suc cess in this intimidating game. In Montgomery county there is a strong sentiment among the Democrat ic voters in favor of putting up a straight ticket, but the Martin-Fllnn men want to put two insurgents on the Democratic ticket for the legisla ture. This is being resented by the Democrats and County Chairman Shaner recognized the feeling among the Democrats and declined to take his orders from the Guffey ma chine, and he was at once made the subject ol Attack. At a meeting of the Democratic committee of Montgomery county last Saturday, held at Norris town, a report was made regarding a conference between a sub-committee of the Democratic organization and a sub committee of the insurgents relative to the proposed fusion deals. All but two of the Democratic committeemen reported against fusion, and the insur gents were woefully disappointed when the county committee adjourned with out declaring for their fusion program. FARMER COPE AT WORK. Dairy and Food Commissioner Cope has been to Philadelphia to confer with officials of the bureau of health In reference to a thorough investiga tion as to adulterated milk and impure foods purported to be freely sold in that city. The commissioner, some weeks ago, tendered the co-operation of his department in the attempt to bring all dealers that are using deleter ious milk, preservatives, as well as those selling impure food products of all kinds, speedily to justice. The as sistance of Factory Inspector Hughes was also obtained, and in consequence some arrests were made last week. The officers who have been making the investigation have made a partial report, and a number of storekeepers are listed as having violated the law. There will be some arrests shortly of keepers of filthy shops and of milk dealers who have been using a prep aration that has has been pronounced injurious to health. Commissioner Cope has tendered the use of the chem ists of the department to the health bureau for analysis of milk and other food. The local agents of the dairy and food department have been instructed by their chief to keep in close touch with the health officers, and at any time that they may be called upon to render all possible assistance. Mr. Cope stated that the governor had in formed him that he was personally in terested in the effort to have the poor furnished with wholesome and un adulterated food stuffs, and that he was desirous of seeing every dealer in deleterous goods promptly prosecuted. Those in charge of the oleomarga rine war were instructed by Mr. Cope to spare no effort in driving the stuff out of the market, and he authorized Attorneys Brown and Dartlett to call upon agents and chemists of other dis tricts if the local ones were not suf ficient to carry on the crusade. The commissioner's instructions are that the civil prosecution specified by the law be dropped for the present and that all offenders be criminally prose cuted. The wholesale dealers are spe cifically designated under the ban and orders have been Issued to confiscate all the colored oleomargarine where ever found in this district. THE CANDIDATES PRESENT. Among the striking figures at the meeting were the candidates for con gressnmn-at-large on the state ticket, the venerable Gatusha A. Grow, of Susquehanna county, a member of the veteran corps of the Republican party, and Robert H. Foerderer, of this city, the successful manufacturer and staunch Republican, who was placed upon the ticket In recognition of the manufacturing and business interests of the Quaker city and the large fol lowing which he has among the mem bers of the Union League, that patri otic and sterling Republican organisa tion, which was a tower ol strength to President Lincoln in the trying days of the rebellion. Another Interesting character pres ent was Edward 11. Ilardenbergh, The tall and sturdy framed railroader, of Wayne county, who from the days of his early manhood has earned his liv ing as a railroad conductor and who to this day holds a responsible posi tion as Instructor of conductors on one of the principal railroads of the state. Mr. Hardenbergh I* the Republican nominee for auditor general who re ceived his nomination largely through the activity In his behalf of the rail road men and other wage earners who took up his cause as one of them and who Is expected to poll a large vote from Democrats who regard his nomi nation aa a very popular recognition of the workluguien of the state. The state committee proposes to make an aggressive campaign and they will see to It that every pledge made In the platform of the state convention shall be kept. ALL FOR IIA 1.1. 0T ItKKOHM.
