THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1901. The Court of Inquiry has found Admiral Schley guilty of being disooedient, dilatory, vacillating and lacking in enterprise. Admiral Dewey, the president of the board, dwsents from this and in his report he says that Admiral Schley's con duct in the Santiago campaign was . wholly praiseworthy and that the whole credit of the victory belongs to Schley, as be was in suprem e command. Public opinion U with Schley by a large majority. Oiffey Says Philadelphia Now United, Factions are Gordon, Pattison and Donnelly Come to Amicable Agreement With National Committeeman and Stats Chairman Creasy. The Philadelphia Times says: A plan has been agreed upon to har monize the Democratic party in Philadelphia that is acceptable to the leaders of both factions. Formal announcement of the details will be made public at the meeting Friday ia this city of the Hasson commit tee, the State executive committee and the local leaders. National Committeeman James M. Guffey and State Chairman W. T. Creasy were at the Stratford last night in conference for three hours with Ex-Governor Robert E. Patti tton, Ex-Judge James Gay Gordon and Secretary J. Burwood Daly, of the County Democracy, and Magis trate Charles P. Donnelly, of the Donnelly-Ryan organization. Rules embodying the best feat ures of the revised rules of the Donnelly-Ryan party and the County .Democracy will be approved by the Hasson committee, .and arrange ments made by them for holding the party primaries on the regular date of the old organization in Jan uary. Colonel Guffey and Mr. , Creasy left the city immediately after the conterence. The former gave out the following statement: "I am greatly encouraged by the confer ejue I have had to-day with representative Democrats, and the Hasson committee, when it meets on Friday, will have little difficulty, I believe, in carrying out the sub. stance of its commission to bring about a teorganizalion of the party here that will raaVe it harmonious, aggressive, and faithful, and that will biing to it the confidence of the Democratic voters at large. It was appoint ed to accomplish that purpose and it will surely perform its duties satisfactorily. I believe the result will meet with the approval of the State executive committee, the State central committee, and all concerned. This will be beneficent and encouraging to the Democracy of the State, "Rules will be adopted that will be fair and just and the reorganization effected aider them will receive the support of all sincere Democrats. This will not only en courage the party in the State in its future contest for good government, but will also give hope to the honest people of Philadel phia for the political redemption of this ring' ridden municipality." It is said that the agreement reached will provide for primary election officers that will be satis factory to all sides. A Southern Traitor Squeals. Senator McLaurin, of South Car olina, made a singularly absurd spectacle of himself the other day. Rising to a question of personal privilege he complained that he had not been invited to participate In the deliberations of the Demo cratic caucus. This incident he construed as giving him license to appeal to the Senate and the country and was rewarded by Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, .who held him - president Vice Pres't Cashier Asst. Cashier E. B. Tustin, Louis Gross, and individuals, solic- up to ridicule as a man who had offered a resignation with a string to it which was subsequently pulled to secure him in his position. Senator McLaurin has no more right in a Democratic caucus than Senator Quay or Lodge, except that he was elected as a Democrat and never would have been elected at all if it had been dreamed that he would betray his constituents as he did during the last Congress. Then he bargained with Senator Hanna to vote for certain odious and un democratic legislation in considera tion of certain administration pat ronaee. Under the agreement he voted for the ship subsidy, the in crease in the army, the Porto Rican tariff and all the infamous imperial and expansion measures which were proposed. To thus betray his constituents he was bribed as certainly as if the action had been paid for in money By thus betraying his constituents he put himself outside of the Dem ocratic party and the Democratic leaders were wise and right in re fusing him a seat in their caucus It the Republicans who bought him don't despise him too much to allow him fellowship among them, let them take him into their caucus. But the chances are that they don't want him. He served their pur pose when they needed him. Now that they have a safe majority they don't want him. Bellefonte Watch man. OOUliT PROCEEDINGS.
