[Subject to the decision ofthe Republican State Convention.] For President Judge, B. W. GREEN, of Cameron, [Subject to the decision ofthe Republican District Convention.] Last week a delegation of Warren I gentlemen visited Washington. I). ! (J., and had the pleasure of an I hour's interview with Hon. M. S. j Quay, in regard to the nomination j of Hon. C. \V. Stone for governor, i Mr. Quay said he did not wish ; to interfere or use his inHuenee for | either one of the candidates, but ; Mr. Stone, of "Warren, would he ; very acceptable to him. He is | making no pledges to any of the i candidates. Tht! Pittsburg I »ispateh says. < '■Quav will not beat t he state con vention, neither will Senator Andrew.-. I>oi. s Penrose, the junior senator, will occupy the rooms that have been always kept for Senator Quay at the Lochiel Hotel. Urgent business will pre vent, Andrews attending. Should Mr. Quay desire re-elec tion for another term he cannot afford to miss this convention to take part in the nomination for governor. When the time comes he will want all the support of the country members. There will be a strong opposition to combat this fall and the northwest tier of counties should be solid in the windnp. —_«> —«... -s>— The Next Governor. Lancaster New Era. * * The "Saw Era" has re frained thus far from participating in the personal and factional con tests waged over the Gubernatorial question; but we have not been in sensible to the signs of the times and the unrest that prevails in the ranks of the Republican party, and we are impressed with the conviction that the time has come to sound a note of warning. Whether justly or unjustly, the impression has gone abroad through the rank and file of the Republican party that a particular candidate is to be forced upon the party in the interests of a faction whose politi cal methods, especially in the city of Philadelphia, have disgusted members of the party who respect the manhood of the free American citizen. The leaders of this faction have been playing a bluff game by asserting that Col. William A. Stone has a sutlici. Nt number of delegates "secured" to insure his nomination on the first ballot. In this claim they include all the delegates representing counties who are or have been favorable to Senator Quay. That this claim is a bluff is illustrated by the attitude of the delegates from this county, who are located in the William A. Stone column, 011 the assumption that they are owned by Senator Quay. The fact of the matter is that the delegates who will represent this county in the ensuing State convention own themselves, and are under no obligations to vote for any candidate for Governor at the dictation of any political boss or faction. Every man of them is free to act for the best interests of the Republican party when the time comes for them to act; and they have been steadily reaching the • conclusion that such action demands their support of a candi date who is free from suspicion of being in the control of, or likely to be controlled by, boss or faction who have, whether deservedly or undeservedly, made themselves obnoxious to a large and influential element of the Republican party. Of the prominent candidates who have been named for the Guberna torial nomination public sentiment has been notably drifting toward the 1 ton. Charles Warren Stone, fll IS7S, when he was a candidate for Lieutenant Governor, to which office he was triumphantly elected and served with distinction, owing ! to his thorough knowledge and impartial administration of pari in- j mentary law, he made a tour of the state, proving himself an elo- j | (juent and popular orator, and j making many friends in this j j county. In fact, it is known to j I the writer that some of the dele- j | gates elected at the late primary j | personally expressed a warm pre i fercnce for Mr. Stone and hoped 1 events would so shape themselves that he would become the standard j bearer of a united party. That j ! conviction has since become greatly j I strengthened not only in the [ ; Lancaster delegation but in some ! i other counties from whom we have j ' had advices from reliable parties: I and if we are not greatly mistaken j the mathematicians who are figur- j ! ing the bluff for Colonel Stone will be surprised at the strength 11011. Charles Warren Stone will develop in the convention before the bal- I loting is concluded. They will cer tainly be surprised in the vote ! cast in behalf of the '"Old Guard," j whose interest in the success of the I party of Stevens, Lincoln and j MeKinley, when the occasion de -1 mands heroic action, transcends all j implied obligations to bosses or j factions. WASHINGTON LETTER. (From, our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, May 23, 1898. President MeKinley, Secretary Long, and Secretary Alger are demonstrating the possibility of I keeping the movements of our : army and navy secret Other j officials in both the War and Navy j Departments know of some of the j movements and contemplated I movements, but all of them are I known only to those three men. ■ They are not known even to the i other members of the Cabinet , they 1 having themselves requested that the knowledge be kept from t hem. Although this policy and the rigid 1 censorship of all telegraph matter sent from points where information of contemplated movements may ! be obtained has only been fully into effect for a week, its good j effects are so apparent that there is j no doubt of its being maintained ! throughout the war. Information i of anything accomplished, or of ■ any battle on land or water will be I promptly given out; it is only news j that would indicate contemplated j movements that is withheld.— ! Among the announcements that J may confidently be expected—they ' may be made any day—is that the ; invasion of Cuba has success | fully been made, and that the Spanish Heel, now in Cuban waters, ! has been met and whipped. The | two announcements may be siniul | tancously made, as there are indi cations that the army and navy are moving together with those ends in view. It is expected that the committee on rules will this week report to the House a special rule for the I consideration ofthe joint resolution I providing for the annexation of | Hawaii. The adoption of the I resolution by a majority of nearly | or quite one hundred is certain S when a vote is taken, but it cannot be voted upon until a special rule is reported. There is politics, and very dirty politics at that, being played in connection with the war-revenue bill, which is still before the Senate. There is nothing patriotic about the motive of the silver men who are a majority of the Senate Finance committee for striking out the clause authorizing the issue of bonds and of certificates of indebt edness, and inserting in their place authority for issuing nearly §200,000,000 in paper currency — 81.*50,000,000 in greenbacks and 842,000,000 in silver certificates. And there is, if possible, even less patriotism in the manner in which those democratic Senators who have promised to join the Republi cans in voting to strike out this fiat money clause and reinsert the clause authorizing bonds and certi ficates of indebtedness are being urged to ignore their promises and vote for fiat money. The radical silver men who are engineering this movement have been disap pointed because the first month of the war has not resulted in sending gold to a premium. They know' that if the bond clause is in the bill as it finally goes through that there will be 110 probability of any suspension of gold payments by the administration, no matter how long the war may last; and they believe that if they can get fiat money authorized instead of bonds, that gold will at once goto a premium, and that that will in some way be beneficial to the silverites and detrimental to the Republican administration and I party. Nice game for men who call themselves Americans to be engaged in, in the face of an ex pensive—almost a million a day is now being spent—foreign war, now isn't it?

He expects to sail from San Francisco about the first ' of June. His army will consist of | about; I(S,(MM) men, nearly one-third I of them regulars. There is much misinformation ! throughout the country concern ing the functions of the Naval War , Hoard, usually mistakenly referred to as the " Strategy Hoard." The | Naval War Hoard is not charged with conducting the naval portion iof the war at all. Its functions j are entirely advisory. The duty of the Hoard is to keep track, as far as possible, of the movements I of our ships, as well as those of the \ enemy, and in the performance of 1 that duty some of its members are on duty night and day at the Navy I K'partment, studying the dispatch es that are constantly being receiv ed. Orders are only given by the | President or Secretary of the Navy and, as a matter of fact, only the | general order to find and destroy i the Spanish Navy has been issued ! to Admiral Sampson, who has been | left free to use his own judgment I about how best to carry out that | order, the Navy Department, of j course, keeping him informed of i everything it learns that can be of I any possible service to him. Secre tary Long's only answer to criti cisms that ha ve been made was to | say : "We can't whip the Span l iards until we catch them." REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION, HARRISBURG.
