PARTY SMERJL
An Exciting Contest For Governor
ship Without Any Bitterness,
IT IS A FREE AND OPEN FIGHT
Lively Campaigning Throughout the
State, and a Great Crowd Expected
at the Coming Republican State
Convention.
(Special Correspondence.)
Harrisburg, May 6. —General Frank
fleecier, chairman of the Republican
state committee, when here this week
conferred with T. Larry Eyre, his
chief assistant, regarding the arrange
ments for the state convention, which
will be held five weeks from tomorrow,
on June 11th. As the date for the con
vention draws near the contest for the
gubernatorial nomination becomes
more interesting. A battle royal is
under way and the election of dele
gates in several counties have been at
tended by spirited rivalry. Attorney
John P. Elkin and Colonel L. A. W'atren
have been the sole active candidate»
in the way of competing for delegate*,
but the woods are full of dark horses
hoping that something will turn up tc
let them have a chance for the big
prize,
NO STATEMENT FROM QUAY.
The efforts of the Philadelphia party
leaders in behalf of Judge Pannypack
er for the governorship followed with
increased activity after Senator Quay's
visit to that city last w§ek. The sena
tor did not authorize any public state
ment that he was irrevocably commit
ted to Judge Penny packer, in fact, he
did not give any public interview go
ing on record as favoring any candi
date.
Friends of Judge Pennypacker have,
however, been quite hopeful of get
ting his active co-operation in the can
vass for the nomination. Some have
stated that Senator Quay, while not
advocating the nomination of Judge
Pennypacker has at least not discour
aged his Philadelphia supporters in
their plans to try to carry oft' the nom
ination. Others believe that Senator
Quay will be guided by developments
and Ho largely influenced by the show
ing the Pennypacker men make be
fore the convention meets.
El KIN MEN AVTIVE.
From lii iiana county, the home of
Attorney Gc-.m-ral Elkin conic reports
that they would be pleased to have
their epi nerits unite upon Judge
Pennypacker, as they would then have
a go.'id excuse to appeal to the Repub
licans of the interior of the state to
stand togH'i- r against allowing Phila
delphia to have both the governorship
and the United States senatorship.
The Elkin men say they are strongest
in the interior counties and that they
would prefer to have the opposition
take up a Philadelphian.
Colonel Watres' admirers continue
their aggressive work and will not ad
mit that Senator Quay is committed to
Judge Pennypacker. They hope to get
his support. In Allegheny county for
mer Governor Walter Lyon has been
working up sentiment in favor of
Frank J. Torrance, of Allegheny, for
governor, but as yet there are no in
dications that Allegheny county will
take part in the favorite son cam
paign.
In Venango county the friends of
Congressman Joseph C. Sibley were
in control. Sibley can have these
sU te delegates should he become a
candidate for governor.
ALL CLAIM ALLEGHENY.
The recent declarations of Thomas
S. Bigelow, leader of the Citizens' par
ty, in favor of Mr. Elkin, has made the
Allegheny situation the subject of
much discussion. It is claimed almost
solidly by both Elkin and his oppo
nents.
Keen interest is also manifested in
the counties of Northumberland and
Huntingdon, where it is expected that
there will be a popular vote on the
governorship at the coming primaries.
It is not known whether Judge Penny
packer's name is to be submitted to the
voters of "any county, but should El
kin, Watr' sand Pennypacker figure in
n triangular contest at the polls the
struggle for delegates would be cer
tainly a lively one as well as one cal
culat 3d to arouse great party interest
for th:- canvass after the nomination
shall be made.
GOOOD FEELING MANIFESTED.
It is rei" liable how the party work
ers thr< u.ihcut the state have held
within prop-r lines and not permitted
the conies. over the governorship to
engender .iiii.- of bitterness such as
would Vie likely to affect the polling of
the full party vote after the ticket
shall be placed in the field.
While it Is believed that the coming
state convention will be the best at
tended gathering of Republicans ever
held in Pennsylvania yet there is every
reason to believe that it will be one
of the most harmonious and at the
same time most satisfactory conven
tions held in this state in many years.
That the nominee of the convention,
whoever he shall be, will be loyally and
ardently supported in the contest at
the general election there can be no
doubt. The party organization was
never in a better condition, and the
Republican voters of Pennsylvania
will stand by their party candidates
when they shall be named by the con
vention
Miss Collins Re-elected.
The school directors of Cameron
county met in convention last Tuesday
at 1:30 p. m.for the purpose of electing
a County Superintendent for the en
suing term of three years. Mr. L. K.
Huntington was made president and Mr
Bernard Eagan and Mr.H. Drum secre
taries. The roll was called and 28 re
sponded present.
Mr. Frank Moon stated that inas
much as the average annual school
term within the bounds of the county
now exceeds seven and one half
months, by a provision of the state law
the incumbent of the office was entitled
to an annual salary of §1,500. This
fact being clearly established and after
a free and full expression of opinion,
the annual salary of the superintendent
was placed at §1,500. It was further
announced that the above advance
would diminish in no sense tho state
appropriation to the several school
districts within the county.
Nomination of candidates for the
office of Superintendent being in order,
Mr. Robert McDowell nominated Miss
Mattie Collins, the present efficient in
cumbent which was promptly seconded
by Mr. Frank Mitchell. There being
no other candidates present the voting
was proceeded with and Miss Collins
was unanimously chosen, to succeed
herself. Much satisfaction was mani
fested over the result, which though
unmistakably foreshadowed, was
highly gratifying to all. Miss Collins
expressed her appreciation to the di
rectors, for the honorjeonferred and
pledged herself anew to a faithful per
formance of the work required by her
office.
The Baccalaureate Service.
The audience that filled the auditor
ium and lecture room of the First
Methodist Episcopal church was a
thoroughly representative one and be
speaks the interest felt by our people in
cause of popular education in our pub
lic schools. The sermon of tho Ilev. J.
M Rob-rtson of Emmanuel Protestant
Episcopal church, was most able and
appropriate and very favorably im
pressed his auditors. His theme was
the "Secret of True Womanhood" and
the ideal set before the class of twelve
young ladies, while high, is not im
possible of realization and must stimu
late in them a desire to reach the best
things in life.
Assisting in the services were the
Rev. W. A. Pugsley of the First Baptist
church, the Rev. Robert McCaslin of
the First Presbyterian church and the
Rev. O. S. Metzler of the First Metho
dist Episcopal church. Excellent music
was rendered by the choir, the vocal
duet of Miss Grace and Mr. Geo. A.
Walker Jr., being particular pleasing.

F. W. MCCLELLAND.
MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA. A VERY OLD
TOWN, WITH AN ATTRACTION THAT
IS NEW AND MARVELOUSLY
BEAUTIFUL.
Sub-Marine Hardens That Probably Eclipse
In Natural Beauty Anything Yet
Discovered.
The quaint old town of Monterey,
California, while it is to-day only a
village of some 1,800 population, was
the first capital of the State of Califor
nia, and was as well the capital of this
part of Mexico's domain while this vast
territory was yet under Mexican
dominion.
The first landing was made here, by
"Don Sebastian Viscaus" on Dec. 10th,
1602, three hundred years ago. He
named it Monterey, or "Mountain
King," in honor of Caspar De Zuniga,"
Compt De Montery, Viceroy ofMexico.
Of courae the town was not here at that
time to assume proprietorship of this
pretty and romantic name, but the
place was, as well as the beautiful and
quite as romantic bay upon the shores
of which it is built. The "Bay of Mon
terey" is twenty-eight miles wide at
the entrance, and is most beautiful in
contour. It has never been improved
much as a harbor, as the importance of
the place, doubtless has never demand
ed it, but it could be made a very fine
and commodious harbor.
The town, looking from the bay has
a beautiful back-ground, in the Moun
tains that were doubtless responsible
for the name it bears They are un
like most of the mountain; of the
southern part of the state, in that (hey
are well covered with a timber growth
that makes them in strong contrast
with many of the mountain systems of
the south, and are a source of great re
lief to the tourist who has hid to be
content during his winter sojourn in a
summer land, to gaze up at these lofty
eminences, about as destitute of trees as
they are of snow. The latter however
can be seen on the highest pealss at a
distance of 50 to 75 and 100, and even
150 miles, but he can get closer to them
if he but takes the trouble.
To the old 'Franciscan, Fathers" be
longs much of the credit of first settling
California, and to them is also due
much of the credit for tiie very amiabie
and peaceable attitude of the native In
dians towards the pioneers of civiliza
tion here. In all they established
twenty-one missions in favored spots
along the coast of California, beginning
as early as 1769 by founding the "San
Diego" Mission in "Old Mission Valley"
about four miles from San Diego, and
in June of the following year, was
founded "Carmel Mission," five miles
to the south of Monterey, by "Padre
Junipera Sevra."
There are many points of histoic in
terest in Monterey. Here btands the
first house built of lumber in the state
of California, the lumber coming from
Australia; "C'olton Hall," the first Capi
tol building in the state, wherein was
signed the State Constitution, the first
Convention was held in this hall Sept.
Ist, 1849. The first theatre built in the
state of California is here, where
Jennie Lind sang in 1817. Monterey
also boasts of the first brick house in
the state, and here is seen the home of
Robert Louis Stevenson. At the end of
main street stands the"House of Four
Winds" or Hall of Record. This old
•building served as headquarters for
General Halleclc and General Sherman,
during their respective commands at
Monterey. On Alvarads street is still
seen the "Sherman Rose Tree" not so
old as the buildings referred to but
dating from the time when Sherman
was in command here, when he was a
young man, and commemorating a very
interesting romance in which the young
officer took, not an unimportant part.
The romance, on the other side, was
represented by a sweet young "Sen
orita" and before Sherman took his
departure from the land in whose genial
sunshine his admiration fortheSenorita
so soon kindled into love, he planted
the rose bush that has long since grown
into a tree, vowing that as long as the
roso should live and bloom bis love for
the Senorita should not fail, but alas,
the rose tree still stands as a memorial
to loves young dream, the then
"Senorita" still contemplates the tree
as once holding for her so much of
sweetness and happiness, and the love
is not.
Many other old buildings and mem
orials aro still to be seen within the
irregular boundaries of "Old Mon
terey," among them being '-.Sail Carlos"
Roman Catholic church, built in 1791
the first Roman Catholic church built
in California, interest attaches to
"C'olton Hall" the old capito! building
from the fact that it was built by Chas.
C'olton, from a fund collected as penal

A Munificent Offer.
Mr. Josiah Howard offers to donate
$4,000 for paving Fourth street, if the
citizens, or any of them, will raise
§B,OOO for the same purpose, or he will
give SI,OOO for every $2,000 raised by
the borough or its friends for that pur
pose This is a mo.st generous public
spirited and liberal offer and it seems
to mo that our people should unani
mously accept an opportunity that
will probably never occur again.
This offer is unique and it stamps
Mr. Howard as being one of the most
public spirited men in the country.
If Mr. Howard will pay one-third the
entire co*t of paving Fourth street,and
Fourth street is not paved, we may as
well admit that Emporium is an" old
back number.
