MARTIN'S CAREER AS BOSS ENDED. The Arch Caucus Bolter Reachei the End of His Rope. ASHBRIDGE TURNS HIM DOWN Quay's Friends Will Control the T*hll adelpJifn Organization.. and Penrose Is Ueooitnlzud by J'rckideat Mo- Kin ley. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, March 21. —A new po litical power has risen in this city. The reign of David Martin as the undis puted boss will end with the exit from office of Mayor Warwick on the first Monday of next month. Martin's re markable course at Ilarrisburg in bolting the Republican senatorial caucus has had as much as anything else to do with his downfall. He is to be relegated to his old position of a ward leader, and if he does not have a care lie may even be supplanted in his own particular bali wick. That Samuel 11. Ashbridge proposes to be mayor of Philadelphia iu fact as well as in name has dawned upon the poli ticians who have been in practically un disputed control of the official patronage, and have been otherwise specially fa vored by the Warwick administration. There will be a novelty about this con dition of affairs that must, be delightfully refreshing and satisfactory to the men who make up the rank and file of the Republican organization—the men who recognized the popular sentiment that called for the nomination and election of Ashbridge to the mayoralty, and who promptly and heartily acquiesced in this demand and gave their time and ener gies to sec that the result was accom plished without interference or friction from those who were secretly planning for a continuance of the present regime. David Martin has made several calls upon the mayor-elect, but lie gets little consolation. That this conspicuous party caucus bolter would like to name both of the directors may be taken for grant ed. That he will not have the privilege of doing so may also be accepted as a fact. Things have not been going Martin's way since he burned bis party's bridges behind him and joined the insurgents' ranks. In all his trouble and tribulation it is his wont to seek the counsel and advice of William .7. Uatta, who holds the of fice of general agent for the Pennsyl vania railroad. Possibly it has been his close relations, business and otherwise, with Latta, who is a Democrat, that have wrought this change over Martin, made liim indiffer ent to the time honored principles of the Republican party that, the majority shall rule, and led him to bolt the Republican senatorial caucus and take up with the Flinn rule or ruin combine of party wreckers. Wlio*i Martin was tirst her alded as the coming man to supplant James McManes, the veteran leader, al ways true to his friends, in control of the Republican organization, there was much talk about "a new coon in town." Now there is another "new coon," and before long Martin will realize that his name is "Ashbridge." The anti-combine element in the Re publican party, of which Israel W. Dur ham is the acknowledged leader, will be well taken care of by the new mayor. Durham and Lane will be the most po tential men in the Republican organi zation. They will control nearly all the delegates to the Republican state con vention, and will stand by Colonel Quay to the end. PENROSE'S NEW POWER. An understanding regarding the dis position o-f federal postoflice patronage in Pennsylvania has just been reached which is of vital importance to Republi cans residing in Democratic congression al districts. The hist congress, it will be recalled, contained only three Democrats from the Keystone state, and one of these, Mr. MoAleer, represented in part the city of Philadelphia, and consequent ly had no p istotfices in his district. The other two democrats, Ermentrout. of the Ninth, and Rennor. of the Nine teenth. represented together but five counties, lierks ami Lehigh, and Adams, Cumberland and York. According to cus tom. President MeKinlcy permitted Sen ators Quay and Penrose to select the postmasters to ue appointed in these five counties. The most recent instance of this rule established by the president was the appointment of A. M. High, the veteran Quay leader of Berks county, to be postmaster at Reading. With the advent of a new postmaster general, who has never been in political sympathy with either of tin* Pennsyl vania senators, and more latterly with Qna.v's re-election to the senate hung up by a deadlock in the legislature, thus making Penrose the only senator, it was feared by the Republican organization managers in the state that the adminis tration might depart from the usual rule in selecting postmasters. A conference has been held at the White House between President Me- Kinlcy, Postmaster General Smith and Senator Penrose, when the subject was fully discussed. It.was finally agreed that in the event of Senator Quay's failure to be re-elected, Senator Penrose would be permitted to name all the post masters in t«?n> districts represented in the Fifty-sixth congress by Democrats. An exception was made of (the Twenty sixth. or the Erie-Crawford district, ia which Congressman-at-hirge Davenport lives. Through the courtesy of Senator Penrose, Mr. Davenport was given con trol of the offices there. It was, of course, understood that should Senator Quay be re-elected, he and Senator Penrose would have an equal say in filling these offices. "In short, the result of the conference fully upheld the right of Uepublican sen ators to ap|M>iut postmasters in Demo cratic emigre ional districts, and em phasized the fact that tie administration would not depart from that custom. The import; .nc- of thi - understanding can lxjtte; lie appreciated when flic state's standing in the lower branch of the Fifty \ih congress is taken into r oie ' '••ration. Without counting Con grcs a M M". r there were nine Dem ocra■ ic ■•• ■ tives (le' led. and as the j, 'if j N expi i,l mi March 4 last. Sena lot : rose is now the sole dis |>enser <>' ■ • : 'lce patronage in eight of (hose distil. Is. These embrace 24 of the 67 counties, or more than one-third, and contain 110 fewer than 1,578 postoffices. It will thus lip seen that the Wanamaker itps ami disaffected Republicans who were largely responsible for the election sf so miiny Democratic congressmen in Pennsylvania hare really added to the (tower and patronage of Senator Pen rose and incidentally helped Senator Quay and the regular organization which they so vindictively opposed. REPUBLICANS ELECT QUAY DELEGATES. Sweeping Victories in Many Coun ties at the Primaries. PARTY BOLTERS REPUDIATED Following Triumphs In Indiana and Union, the Heaver statesman Wins in Blair. Warren and ItohMvare Count les. 'Special Correspondence.) Ilarrisbtirg, March 21.—Stalwart He publicans of Pennsylvania have taker, the case of the senatorial caucus bolt ers in hand and wherever an opportunity presents its. >ll to publicly rebuke their actions it is done in a most approved and emphatic fashion. legislators who returned here yesterday from their honx* districts are unanimous iu testifying to the intense feeling of hostility that ex ists among Republicans to the handful of bolters who have thus far prevented the election of the Uepublican caucus nominee for United States senator. Wherever primary elections are held this feeling is clearly evinced iu the vote for delegates to the Republican state con vention. First came Indiana county, where the anti-Quayites were beaten by about 1,200 majority on a popular vote. Then Union county, where the Martin- Flinn-Wanamaker combine spent a big wad of money, and heralded in advance that Quay's fticnls would he beaten two to one. Here, too. the supporters of Col onel Quay won out handsomely, their candidate for delegate to the state con vention, Captain Rothermel, an old soldier, sweeping everything before Him. The anti-Quay candidate did not carry a single election precinct in the county. Next erm" Warren county, where ex- Congressman \V. Stone resides, and where the anti-Quay men declared that the Beaver statesman's friends might as well make no effort to win as they had not the ghost of a chance any how. Here, again, the two delegates elected to the state convention. Messrs. W. S. Pierce and W. It. Rice, are publicly committed in favor of Colonel Quay. The most com plete knockout given the combiners was in Blair county. Through peculiar ma nipulations of the combine agents and the expenditure of large sums of money, the delegates from the county have for the last four times been opposed to the regu lar Republican organization in the statu. A great effort was made this time by the tame influences to keep the county in the combine column. Fliun, as lie did in Union county, went to Altoona himself to direct the fight. He was accompanied by Ivoontz, of Somerset: Henry, one of David Martin's men, from Philadelphia: Weller, of Bedford, and other bolters of the Republican caucus. They made a number of speeches attacking Colonel Quay. The primaries came off last Satur day. The result was a sweeping victory for Colonel Quay's friends, two of the three delegates elected to the state con Tcntion Ijeing publicly pledged to the Quay organization and the other, al though not actually committed to either side, can be counted upon togo along with the organization. The victory was more than State Chairman Elkin and the other organization leaders counted upon. They practically left the direction of the fight to their friends in the county and ilid not give them any outside as sistance. The anti-Quay men are in a very bad w ay over this licking. They say they were beaten through over confi dence. On the heels of these crushing de feats of the Martin-Flinn band of party wreckers comes the new from Delaware county, where the anti-Quay men have thrown up the sponge and withdrawn all opposition 1o the four stalwart camli dates for delegates to the state conven tion. The primaries take place next Sat urdav. They were picked out by leader Mathews, who is a supporter of Senator Quay and who is the recognized head of the Republican organization in Delaware county. In view of these developments it is not surprising that the insurgents »are in.l rattled condition. The fifty-fourth ballot on the United States senatorship taken today shows that the same conditions, as far as the vote is concerned, exist as they did last week. The friends of Senator Quay among the members of the legislature had a big rally in the supreme court room at their usual weekly meeting. Republican State Chairman Klkin presided, and before the meeting closed Mr. Klkin announced that he had talked to Senator Quay, who was in Florida, over the wire and that he had said he will be here next week and help carry tin- banner of stalwart Republicanism to the finish. Naval Of ficer Holland, of Montgomery county, who stopped off here on his way home from a trip in the west, said he had everywhere heard expressions of confi dence in Senator Quay from Republi cans, and that they were anxious to hear of bis re-election. The principal speech was made by ex-Representative IS. K. Focht, of Union, who told the story of 1 hi- attempt to defeat Captain Rothermel, ihe,stalwart Republican can didate for state delegate in that county. Among other things Mr. Focht said: "If anything 1 may say shall encourage you to remain firm in the resolution to hurl back the party wreckers and de faniers, I will fell well repaid for my coming here, and that 1 had done a ser vice to my party and niy state. Up the winding Susquehanna, and I believe over the whole state, there is the hope and belief, born of desire, that the great Republican party be not broken and torn by its male ions assailants, that you will succeed, and that speedily. As the gu 1 dians and custodians of the party's honor and integrity, something betf •"• is expected of you than that you sliai, e or strike the party's colors to a mi 11 ■ : that is held iu the insurgent lines 1.

"Backed b.v AVanainaker, who pulls the chestnuts and furnishes the news paper bureau, some of the bosses of Philadelphia and Pittsburg have under taken the job »112 purifying the politics of rural counties and townships. Senator Flinn, it seems, wants to become state chairman and boss of the so-called ma- ! chine. Hut he will not become boss of the state, nor will he be allowed to in troduce any tricks of city politics into the country. "While Reformer Fllnn's new ambition must everywhere cause a sense of humor, yet there is danger to the party and to konie rule unless the people are alive and come to understand more fully what a tumble Pennsylvania journalism has taken since these full page advertising contracts have been inade by John Wan amaker. These city bosses, grown rich through party prestige and power lu their respective municipalities, now es say to conquer an empire in the control of Republican politics in the state. But their party wrecking tendencies will be their ruin. When they invade the rural districts they will lind all over the com monwealth a sturdy, honest people, sometimes deceived, but always upright and fair, who will rebuke them at every turn. They will learn that they are tri lling witU a dangerous explosive when they attempt to enlist the yeomanry into their insurgent army. "You have heard the answer the peo ple of Union county gave Boss Flinn, and as the situation more clearly dawns on the masses of the rural districts, there will come from north and south, the east and west a protest against the bri gandage <>(' caucus bolters and the papers carrying the big advertisements, before which regularity must be restored, cau cus decisions obeyed and Senator Quay re-elected. "Senator Quay won the majority of members last fall in the face of Wuna maker's treachery and fusion with Dem ocrats; he won the caucus nomination here at llarrisburg; he long ago won the hearts of the people and A ill retains their affection; he is the most persecuted and best loved man in Pennsylvania, ami I hope that every one of you gentlemen will honor yourselves and do your partj tke justice of remaining fixed in your purpose of not only re-electing and vin dicating him, but of defending that honor and integrity of your party and in aiding to perpetuate its glory." The remarks of Mr. Focht and of the other speakers were received with ap plause, and Chairman Elkin's announce ment about Colonel Quay's coming was greeted with great cheering. Colonel Quay's forces had never a more compact <>r enthusiastic organiza tion. All await the return of the Beaver statesman from Florida with confidence in their ability to ultimately rout th" band of insurgents and party wreckers who have thus far prevented the elec tion of the Republican caucus nominee to tile United States senate. That so many stalwarts should have ben able to stand steadfastly by their party's candidate for so many weeks without a serious break in their lines or a rupture of any kind among their lend ers is marvelous. Considering the char acter of the light made against him, the virulent and incessant attacks and un scrupulous misrepresentations of a news [juper combine, such as have never be fore existed in the history of American politics, with the tmmense power of nearly all the official patronage of Phila delphia nnd Pittsburg, with lavish distri butions from the wealth of individuals, who have amassed immense fortunes through political connections in these two great municipalities, and with the in sidious employment of the influence of position with great corporations to crush an individual in order to advance the po litical fortunes and to satisfy the re venge of his enemies, the triumph of Colonel Quay, notwithstanding these as saults. is the wonder of the political world. The recent tactics of the iijs-nrgents have all met with complete failure. Tin promised investigation committee sen sation has fallen Jlat. The developments Of lust week's meeting were n«l caleu j lated to give encouragement to the pro- I motors of this scheme, which is regarded by many as one of the boldest and most desperate moves made in a political fight I of thi-; character. It is certain that some of those who at first thought political I capital might be made out of this inves | tigation against Colonel Quay's friends i now reali/.e that the move has been a boomerang. Not a single supporter of Senator Quay on the Horn- of the house has been im plicated in till? slightest degree in any suspicion of wrong doing. The attempt to make a scandal over the efforts of Democrats to block the game of some of their leaders to help elect an inde pendent Republican has boon a signal failure. The Martin-Flinn combine, with the Pittsburg boss put to the front as the candidate of this peculiar outfit for the chairmanship af the Republican state committee, has practically exhausted it | self here. Flinn, Koontz and other bolt ers, instead of issuing nightly statements from their headquarters here, are now I repeating the same old fulminations in Lancaster and other counties, where j agents are sent in advance with rolls of greenbacks to charter halls and engage brass bands to draw curious crowds t« hear the star bolters talk. It is another spectacular aggregation of tho Wana niaker sort that went up and down the j state in the recent gubernatorial cam paign, and which the people took good care of when they went to the polls and sent Colonel William A.
