This is pretty se vere, but the Sun always did use strenuous language. A part of the ammunition for the campaign consists in the re cords of Congressmen as collated from the Congressional Record. If a member has cut a poor figure in Congress, or none at all, the Record shows that fact. Has lit* been a negative or a positive rep resentative of the people? lias he been content to look simply after the interests of his own district, and bring in a large number of pension bills? Has he failed to take part in the great and broad questions which concern the wel fare of all the people as a nation? Was he attentive to his duties; did he vote on all important questions? These facts, and many more, are now being carefully culled from the Record, and will be used in more than one closely contested district, for or against a candidate as the case may be. Pennsylvania's Interests Have Much at Stake at Next Election. AGGRESSIVE FIGHT TO BE MADE A United Stato3 Senator and Tnirty two Representatives to trie House Who Will Vote On Tariff Legislation Will Be Chosen. I Special Correspondence.] Ilarrisburg, Aug. 23. —Naturally In terest centres here in the selection of members of the general assembly, aa the next legislature, which meets n re In January next, will be called upon to elect a United States senator for the full term of sjx years to succeed Gov ernor Pennypacker's appointee, Phil ander Knox. Among the nominees for the senate and the house who have been placed in the field already are many new candi dates, and there is considerable spec ulation regarding the outcome of the contests in several districts. The election of a stalwart Republican to the United States senate is of para mount importance to the vast indus trial and other interests of Pennsyl vania, as is also the matter of the elec tion of Republican candidates for the national house of representatives. The election of candidates for the legislature, who will have a vote on the United States senatorshlp, and the success of Republican nominees in the 32 congressional districts in this state will occupy the attention of the party leaders from now until the Bth of No vember r.ext, when the ballots will be east and counted. Senator Penrose, as chairman of the Republican state committee, will give personal attention to this phase of the campaign, and he will have the hearty co-operation of every loyal member of the Republican organization through out the state. The fight for the election of these candidates will be made upon clean-c.it lines, ar.d will be aggressive from '!i« start. The voters of Pennsylvania will nave impressed upon them the fact that the Democracy has ever been antagonistic to the Pennsylvania idea of the pro tective tariff, and that it is vitally es sential that the Republican majorities in both branches of congress shall be maintained, in order that the great manufacturing interests, the vast army of industrial workers and the millions upon millions of capital invested, shall be kept, free from harmful legislation at Washington. In some respects, Republican loss of consress would be more disastrous to Pennsylvania's interests than the loss of the presidency. It is pointed out that the Republi cans have a majority of less than 30 in the present house of representatives and that a change of 15 votes wo'Ud give the house to the Democrats. It is known that the Democrats are figuring upon in the congres sional districts of Pennsylvania. Colonel Guffey and his associates in the management of the Democratic machine have been boasting to the Tammany leaders in New York that they will have a gain of half a dozen congressmen in this state, and they have persuaded the party managers to put up a liberal campaign fund to put their plans into operation. They are talking of carrying the Lu zerne. Lackawanna and Schuylkill dis tricts in the anthracite coal regions, and are predicting as absolutely cer tain togo Democratic the York-Adams district, the Berks-Lehigh district, the Northampton - Monroe - Pike - Carbon district and the Northumberland-Co lumbia-Montour district, and one or two others. The Democrats are always hopeful, particularly in national campaigns, but this time they seem to be unusually aggressive. This fact has made th» Re publican leaders determined to leave nothing undone to rouse the Republi can committeemen and others through out the commonwealth and have them put forward their best efforts to thwart the Democratic plans. Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, who is in charge at the Republican state head quarters in Philadelphia during the temporary absence of Chairman Pen rose, wrote to a friend in this city a few days ago saying that it is Senator Penrose's intention to work to offset every move of the Democracy and to labor to keep their representation down to the lowest point possible. The Democrats now have thr»e mem bers of the house from Pennsylvania Kline, of Lehigh; Sohull, of Monroe; and Dickerson, of Northumberland. Senator Penrose believes that he will be able to hold them down to three members, and he may succeed in cut ting them down to two. This will require a vast amount of work and the expenditure of much en ergy in lining up the party workers to get the Republican voters out on elec tion day. The greatest danger to the Republican cause will be in the apathy of the vot ers. It is difficult to make Republicans in Pennsylvania believe that there is any Democratic party in this state, bui. time and again the minority party has succeeded in electing members of con- Kress through Republican indifference or over-confidence. It is not intended that this shall be permitted in the present canvass An effective organization will bo formed in every debatable cong-rps gressional district, and a corps of trained orators will be available to p.d dress mass meetings to be arranged for by the chairmen of the several county committees.
