By The Sullivan Publishing Co. At the County Seat of Sullivan County. LAPOHTB, FA. i'ntered at the Post Office at La]>orle, hp second-class mail matter. Harris burg. Jan. 28. —Since the dln r.ar given by Senator Quay to the Penn i vlvanla congressional delegation there lias been more or less comment over 1 he remarkable feelings of personal re gard for the veteran leader existing niong the influential men of all par tes. It is held by many of the best pasted newspaper correspondents In Washington that there is no more popular man with his colleagues in the I'nlted States senate, without regard to political associations or affiliations. A most significant feature of the re cent gathering at Senator Quay's hos piiable board was the fact that with one exception, every member of con gress from the Keystone State was present, and Democrats and Republi cans alike esteemed it an honor to be a suost of this distinguished party leader. The one member of the house who was not on hand sent regrets as he had a previous engagement to din# with the family of a cabinet officer. This coming together at the home of Senator Quay of representatives of the i veral sections of this commonwealth emphasized a condition of harmony within the Republican organization of Pennsylvania, such as has not existed before for many years. ACHESON WANTS TO QET IN. Even the irrepressible Congressman Ackcson, who has been a rank Insur gent in Pennsylvania politics during i!:e last four or five years, was present ?.t. the Quay dinner. Naturally some of tlie old line stalwarts were surprised to see him there, but they were more thr.n surprised when later on in the evening they saw Senator Quay and Coniressman Acheson get off together in a corner of the dining hall for a long chat. "There is something on the carr®t." remarked one of the party, and from all that has been heard since the din ner there must surely be "something doin'." It would appear that Congressman Acheson is anxious to renew his stand ing in the ranks of the regulars and that It is quite probable that before many weeks he may be found training along with the leaders of the regular party organization. The case of Acheson directs attention to the fact that his home county of Washington is the only county in the state in which the men in control of the Republican county organization are not working in harmony with the lead ers of the Republican state organiza tion in all matters of Importance. This is. indeed, a remarkable condi tion of affairs. It is in striking con trast with the situation of a few years ;;RO when during the administration of Governor Hastings there were prac tically two Republican organizations in Pennsylvania. With Hastings' limited personal following there was the Phila delphia organization with David Mar tin in control, and the Allegheny coun ty organization, with the late Senator and William Flinn in undisput ed command. There were a number of other counties in the state where the party organization was in the control of men not in sympathy with the ele ment of the party which directed the affairs of the Republican state commit tee and which recognized the leader ship of Senator Quay instate and na tional politics. There was an incessant Are of per sonalities between the leaders of the rival factions and In many sections of the state the Democrats through this factional fighting got control of impor tant county offices. THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW. Things are different now. The great Republican organization of Philadel phia and Allegheny counties are in ab solute accord with the state organiza tion leadership. The two United States senators, the governor and all the other state officials at Harrisburg, and the influential Republican leaders in every county in the state with one ex ception, which exception will possibly be eliminated within a short time, are all working together for the success of the Republican party. The Republican candidates that shall be placed in the field next summer will tind a united, solid front presented to the enemy and a grand Republican ma jority will be rolled up for every man on the Republican state ticket. It is true that there Is a contest under way In Pittsburg over the elec tion of councilmen, but the leadership of the party organization is in no way involved. The struggle appears to be over the control of councils which will have to do with the solving of ttae problem whether there shall be ele vated or underground railways con structed in Pittsburg and in this mat er the Republicans in the state at large have little concern. ALL ARE REPUBLICANS. No matter which way the present contest shall be decided it is declared by representatives of both factions la Pittaburc that all bands wiU be laud tfo'l inn far the success of the nomi : of ths n<?xt Republics a state con vention. The most noteworthy change in re cent political conditions is to be found in Philadelphia county, where, under Mayor Warwick the Hastings-Martin combination instate politics had every thing their own way at the Republican primaries. Now the friends of Israel W. Durham will elect one of the dele gates to the coming Republican state convention and they will all be lined up with the stalwart Republican lead ership of the state. Harmony has, indeed, come to the Republican organization of Pennsylva nia. QUAY ANDJEIfOSB Proposed as Leading State Con vention Orators. MAY BE MADE CHAIRMEN Suggested That They Be Invited to Bound the Keynote of the Fall Campaign—Elkina' Boom Hae Been Launched. (Special Corrnspondence.) Philadelphia, Jan. 28.—A suggestion has been made within the last few days for an interesting feature for the pro gram for the coming Republican state convention. It developed from an in vitation from a number of Republicans of Beaver to have Senator Quay go as a delegate to the state convention. Since then some one conceived the idea of having both senators figure in the convention and to have them sound the keynotes of the campaign. It has been proposed that Senator Penrose shall be named as the tem porary presiding officer and that Sena tor Quay shall be elected permanent president of the convention. SPEECHES WORTH HEARING. Anything that Senator Quay shall have to say on either state or general topics would be of national interest. His speeches in his memorable cam paign for re-election to the senate gave him an international reputation not only an orator, but as a student of hu man nature and a close and careful reader of the classics and of historical and Biblical subjects. An incident iB recalled of his meeting with the late President McKinley dur ing his stumping tour. "Well, Quay," cordially remarked the lamented McKinley, as he saluted the Pennsylvania leader, "I have been reading your speeches. There is not one of them that I have not read through twice. You are a wonder. I want you to consider yourself booked for the most important meetings in any campaign that I may hereafter be interested in." Senator Penrose, on account of the prominent part he Is taking la the shaping of the Republican policy in the present congress on the great issues that have to be met before this session shall end, will be in a position to speak by the card when the Republican state convention shall be held, on all issues that will have to be discussed in the coming congressional campaign. The attitude of the party on the Philippine situation, and the govern ment of the other recently acquired possessions, the Pennsylvania interests involved in the fight against a reopen ing of the tariff legislation, and the all important matter to the working men of the Keystone State, as well aa the nation at large, the exclusion of Chinese cheap labor, will be among other subjects which Senator Penrose will be in a position to talk upon with positive and official knowledge. The intimate relations existing be tween the two Pennsylvania senators and President Roosevelt will enable them to be thoroughly posted regard ing the attitude of the national admin istration on all questions atiecting par ty organization and party policy. ELKIN'S BOOM LAUNCHED. It Is known that the party leaders have not agreed upon any program for the state convention, but it is likely that this suggestion will appear to them favorably. During the last week there have been expressions from two counties regard ing home favorites for honors in the gift of the coming state convention. Indiana county was the first to for mally enter a candidate for the guber natorial race. The Republican county committee, with an exhibition of en thusiasm and earnestness tuat was most pronounced, adopted resolutions submitting the name of Attorney Gen eral John P. Elkin to the Republicans of the state for governor. The resolu tions referred to Mr. Elkin in a most complimentary and eulogistic manner. They told of his early struggles as a poor country lad, and dwelt upon his sterling qualities as a man, bis high standing as a citizen, his eminent ability as a lawyer, and his distin glished services to his state and to the Republican party, and appealed to all Republicans to support him for the governorship. Although the two counties in which delegates to the state convention have already been elected —Berks and Car bon —have elected delegates in the In terest of Mr. Elkin, the action of the Indiana county Republicans was the formal inauguration of the movement to bring about Mr. Elkin's nomina tion. Chester county has since indorsed Senator Snyder for lieutenant gover nor. Dr. Flood, of Crawford; Dr. Reed, of Cumberland, and General Schall, of Montgomery, have also been mentioned for second place. John D. Reeser's Big Store Bank Block, Dushore, Pa. John D.
