REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.

Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 12, 1893.
to the Republican Electors of Pennsyl
vania: The Republicans of Pennsylvania, by
Mielr duly chosen representatives, will
Jeet In state convention, Thursday, April
3, 1890, at 10 o'clock a. m.. In the Opera
House, city of llarrisburg, for the pur
pose of nominating two candidates for
representatives nt la rue In congress and
Ihlrty-two candidates for presidential elec
tors, selecting eight delegates ot lurgo to
the Republican national convention, mid
transacting such other business as may be
presented.
By order of the state committee,
: JI. S. Quay.
j Attest: , Chairman.
Jere B. Rex, '
i W, R. Andrews. ' ' '
; Secretaries.
Representation in this convention will
le the same as In the last state conven
tion. A Proper Protest.
A large number of the Republican
Newspapers of Pennsylvania are enter
ing a -well-directed protest against the
arrangement alleged to have been made
it the recent conference between Sena
tor Quay and a number of other Repub
lican leaders, by which Senator Cam
rron was designated as the proper per
lon for chairman of the Pennsylvania
delegation In the Republican National
Convention. If the leaders In confer
tnce mapped out a programme as al
leged, the least that can be said Is that
It was altogether premature. The Penn
sylvania delegation will consist of six-ty-four
delegates, only a few of whom
have been chosen. It is fair to assume
that a majority of these delegates will
e representative Republicans, and men
Dtntelllgence and character. If Sena
tor Quay, and the half-dozen gentlemen
be called Into conference with him, have
presumed to select the chairman for the
whole body of delegates, all that need
be said is that they have assumed a
great deal. It is not improbable that
when the sixty-four shall have been duly
Chosen a considerable number of them
will want to have something to say
themselves as to who shall be their
chairman and spokesman on the floor
it the. convention.
The Republican newspapers are alto
gether right in protesting against this
premature action by the conference al
luded to. The attempt is manifestly to
be made to give Senator Cameron un
lue prominence inthe National conven
tion, a distinction to which he Is clearly
not entitled and which would never be
conferred upon him by the mass of Re
publicans in this state. He has for
rears chosen to act outside of Repub
lican lines in the senate, and has not
lone anything for his party In the state
r nation 'to entitle him to any honor or
' fllBtlnctlon at the hands of his party.
Public sentiment in the Rpeubllcan
party has compelled him to announce
bis retirement as a candidate for re
election to the senate, and this is not a
, very auspicious time to push him to the
j front as the leader of Republicanism In
ft National convention of the party. For
j few men, however prominent them
selves, to get together and select th.s
non-conformist Republican for chair
man of the state's delegation, in ad
vance of the election of the delegates,
Is an act of presumption almost without
a parallel, and It is not surprising that
the Republican press of the state enters
Its solemn protest against the propo
sition. Let the sixty-four National
delegates select their own chairman.
,We apprehend that that is precisely
what they will do, and his name will
Dot be J. Donald Cameron.
." The British newspapers are of one
accord In declaring that the Monroe
doctrine has not been recognized as
j)art of the International law. Great
. Britain may not have recognized . it,
'.' tout practically every able-bodied man
In the United States has, and, if nec
essary, will fight for it. Great Britain
has been compelled to recognize sever
'. el other "doctrines" In the past and
yet recognize the Monroe uocirine.
; The Strika In Philadelphia.
There Is nearly" always too much
. haste In criticizing; the civil authorities
of a community when they fall to suc
cessfully cope lth a body of rioters.
(vThat Philadelphia experienced this
week has been the experience at some
time of nearly every large city In the
country. Riots spring; into existence
at the shortest notice, as a rule, and the
result Is that the civil authorities are
: unprepared to meet the emergency at
. ance, but there was no reasonable ex
pectation that this strike would at once
be attended with a great rjot. Phlla-
. delphla has a large police force and
taken as a whole It Is probably the equal
of the force In any other city, and su
perior to a majority of them. In this
Otmtry there Is always great reluct
iaee to call the military Into service.
A slnalefeglment of the national guard
ould doubtless have quelled the mob In
Philadelphia last Tuesday in a very
' ' fcort time, and probably without firing
a shot but the mayor refrained from
tz M tor military aid, believing that
the civil authority would be able to re
store law and order.
The fact that not a single life was
lost, nor any considerable number of
people Injured, during the nearly all
day riot, proves either that the mob
was unusually good-natured, or that
there was no attempt made to oppose
ihe rioters In their wanton destruction
af property. At this distance from the
acene of the lawlessness Philadelphia
does not appear to very good advantage
as a well-governed city. It was an
r.ll-day riot, and the reiterated state
ments of the Philadelphia newspapers
that the rioters were for the greater
part boys and loafers only adds to
the surprise that the lawleasness was
permitted to continue nil day. It is
claimed that very few of the thousands
of street railway employes participated
!n the riot. This seems to be nearly
always the case, or nt least this is the
claim nearly always put fo'rwwd when
a riot follows In the waXe of a strike.
Sometimes this Is true ami sometimes
It is not. '
ProEently the tax-payers of Philadel
phia will be heard from. The Traction
company will present its bill for ears
demolished by the mob and for other
Jamagc9 Incidental or otherwise sus
tained, and the city will have to foot
that bill, which, It Is apprehended, will
be a pretty extensive one. There will
bo no escape from this. Having failed
to protect the' property of the com
panies and enforce law and order, ho
municipality v.ill be compelled to pay
the bill of damages. This is one of the
IcHHons of the Philadelphia strike and
riot.
The average Republican Is always a
patriot when there Is occasion for the
assertion of patriotism. Nothing could
bo more gratifying than tha unanimity
with which the Republican members of
consrei's rallied around the Democratic
president the moment he developed a
proper measure of genuine American
ism in asserting the determination of
the administration to maintain the pol
icy of this country as embodied In the
Monroe doctrine. Any man In the
presidential chair, be he Democrat or
Republican, will always have the hear
ty support of the Republican uarty In
anything ho may suggest or do to up
hold the honor, dignity and interests
of this republic. If President Cleveland
v.ill maintain the firm stand he has
ta'ten with reference to Great Britain's
attitude In the Venezuela question he
can count upon the support of every
Republican in congress and In the coun
try. The St. Louis Programme.
The Altoona Tribune, one of the most
conservative Republican papers in
Western Pennsylvania, in commenting
upon the announced programme of the
Pennsylvania delegation at St. Louis,
says: "As the gentlemen who are In
control of our state politics have no In
tention of permitting a Pennsylvanlan
to be nominated, there Is no reason why
a pretense to the contrary should be
made. The purpose, of course, is to put
the delegation In shape for handling
most effectively on behalf of the candi
date whose nomination the managers
really desire. Nor should Senator Cam
era lead a delegation to a Republican
convention. He has not been a Repub
lican for years.havlng repeatedly voted
contrary to the fundamental principles
of the Republican party and being at
this moment a Populist In sentiment.
There are plenty of genuine Republi
cans in this state."
This Is only one of many expressions
which show that on attempt to make
a stool pigeon of a Pennsylvania candi
dacy at St. Louis would bo resented by
party sentiment. If such a purpose has
been entertained by the present leader
ship of the party in this Btate, it Is not
too late to take cognizance of Its evi
dent unpopularity, and modify the pro
gramme so as to render It more In har
mony with the dominant party desire.
If It be deemed expedient to cast the
vote of the Pennsylvania delegation for
a Pennsylvania presidential candidate,
such action should be genuine and in
good faith. No effort should be spared
to wake that candidacy successful; end
the quest should be aitandonvd only
when Its futility had become unmis
takably evident.
. Such a course of procedure would
sustain the dignity of the common
wealth, and constitute a latins vindi
cation of the party leadership from the
charge tKit Its supremacy Is main
tained only for Eeldsh purposes.
The weary and over-worked congress
man will soon be :n his way home to
enjoy the holiday season and recuper
ate his strength for the real work of

Smalley on Bayard's Case.
For once it happens that George W.
Smalley, that whilom beau ideal of
Toryism, has found It In him to utter
both sensible and patriotic advice. In
his special syndicate letter to several
American papers, published a few days
ago, Mr. Smalley discusses the contro
versy Into which Americans have fallen
with their own ambansador to England
and in the course of that discussion

course. Is known at once In England. It
affoots both Air. Bayard and his diplomat

see from the comments of the English
press tfeat, while they think Mr. Bayard
In the wrong at Edinburgh, they think
his critirs in the house and the house it
self Hill more In the wrong.
Viewed soberly and with an eye to
the future consequences, Mr. Smalley's
idea of the case Is unquestionably the
correct one. The American congress
has perhaps shown itself too sensitive.
A moderate, renolution of disapproval
would have been proper and dignified.
If it be assumed, as seems at this time
reasonable, that the duty of disciplin
ing Mr. Bayard could not be safely left
to the president or to the secretary of
state. But to Jump Into hysterics is to
get ourselves laughed nt even by those
who are sensible of the ambassador's
original Indiscretion. Still, It Is a cir

history; and the error. If an error, was

The committee appointed at the last
meeting of the Pennsylvania Editorial
association to prepare a new libel bill
to be presented to the next legislature?,
have performed the duty Imposed upon
them. The bill prepared appears to
meet the requirements of the press of
the state without depriving any person
of duo redress against malicious libel.
The present libel laws are faulty and
unjust to publishers and editors. A
casual examination of the bill prepared
by the committee appears to remedy,
at least in large measure, the faults
of the present law.
WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Tr.bune Bureau,
' CIS Fourteenth street, N. W.,
Washington, Dee. 19.
The Hon. Charles A. lioutelle, of Malao,
who has been known us the great cham
pion of the American flag in Uie house,
is surh a bitter partisan tliut he is willlnK
to allow that emblem of liberty to be
trullcrd In the dust for the take of making
a political point. Boutelie bus probably
made more speeches In defense of the flag
than all the other members of the house.
He eeidom rise In his seat that ho does
not work In tho flag somewhere In his
pipeech. For thet reuson he is known as
tho "Has defender."
But Blnce President Cleveland Irsued his
now famous message on the Venezuelan
question Mr. Boutelie, either through
Jealousy or some other reason, hai
changed his tune. When the resolution
was brought up In the ftouse on Wednes
day appropriating $100,000 for the purpose
of defraying the expenses of a commission
to be appointed by the president to estab
lish tha boundary line between Venezuela
and British Guiana, Mr. Boutello objected
to Us passage. His reason for objecting
was that the subjeet was too grave anil
serious for the house to tackle in an off
hand manner. Mr. Boutelle's friends as
well as his antagonists were very much
surprised to see him forsake the flag In
thlstts hour of need. The general Impres
sion among his colleagues is that Mr.
Boutelie didn't want president Cleveland
or his. party to get any glory at the flag's
expense.

Tho resolution Introduced in the senate
on Wednesday by Mr. Cnll, of Florida,
providing for the appointment of a select
committee to Investigate organized efforts
of corporations to control the election of
members of congress and to Influence leg
islation In congress. Is calculated to cause
name trouble In both houses. The fact
that it was opposed by certain eastern
and western senators, who, l.t Is charged,
owe their seata In the upper house to the
organized efforts and systematic benefi
cence of corporations directly and vitally
Interested in. legislation, Is being generally
commented upon.
Senator Quay did not speak on the reso
lution, but he voted for it. His approval
of am inquiry Into elections In which the
Influence of corporations enter, recalls his
speech on the floor of the senate last Jan
uary, In which he denounced In strong
language the methods which a corporation
employed In Philadelphia elections. Sen
ator Cameron opposed it for reasons best
known to himself.
It Is noteworthy that Senator Bewell, of
New Jersey, opposed tho resolution of Mr.
Call. It was tho first speech he has mado
since becoming a member of the senate
the second time. (Jewell's connection with
the Pennsylvania railroad no doubt
prompted him to oppose the resolution.
Senator Chandler, who probably had in
mtnd his arch-enemy, the Boston and
Maine Railroad company, sustained It
wlilh his vote and strongly urged !ts pass
age. It has not been many years since
Mr. Chandler oA'ered a resolution, the pur
pose of which was an Investigation Into
the election of his New Hampshire col
league, Senator Galllnger, Whom he Inti
mated had been elected by the organized
support of a railroad conporntion.
The Call resolution Is considered most
timely, as it Is strongly hinted that In
the make-up of the senate committees and
the appointment of rhalrman of commit
tees. Into whoso hands fall the considera
tion of Important legislation a.'feetlng cer
tain corporations, the Influence of those
fame corporations figure most conspicu
ously. Su-h a resolution can hardly pass the
house, but If one like that which Senator
Call introduced Is presented there the dis
cussion which '. will provoke will at leus.t
-be Interesting. It Is openly asserted that
In congressional campaigns In the west
the participation of railroad corporations
is notorious. An Instance was cited to mo
toOay by a member of the house. It was
that of a southern rsllroiil company
which, he said, expended ?n0,J0 to secure
a renomination for a member of congress
who was the road's attorney and whom
the corporation wanted returned to con
grer.s. ,

Both houses of congress will adjourn to
morrow for the holidays. They will recon
vene on Filday, Jan. 3.
A pension has been granted to Edwin D.

Danl'sl Shovlln, of Wllkes-Barre, Luzerne
county.
Congressmen S-tranton, Lelsenrlng and
Ccddlng will spend t!ie holidays with their
families at their respective homes. Mr.
Scranton will have time to explain to his
"bone" hunting constituents how he came
to fere so badly In the combine's divide of
the spoils.
Congressman "Jack" RofWneon Is In
dally receipt of encouraging letters re
garding his candidacy for Cameron's seat
In tho United States senate. "Jack" toys
his chances up to date for election are as
good as any other candidate. He Is not In

It Is notice ible that few of the Repub
lican papers of this state that comment
on the subject believe that the leaders of
their party mean to support in good faith
any l'tcinsylvanian for the presidential
nomination. All the more ncv-essHy that
the several congressional districts select
ftrcng. self-reliant and responsible men
to represent them In the convention.

Scnator Chandler Is a trifle ahead of the
rest of the American people In his anxiety
for a war with Grt at Britain. Neverthe
k.'S he is right when he proposes that
tk's country should always have on h tnd
t.nough arms and equipments to plat-" a
;orge volunteer army In the Held. The
men are always rtady and the arms should
be on hand alto.
The Harrlsburg Telegraph wants Sena
tor Cameron to be the most conspicuous
figure among Pennsylvania Republicans In
thenext llepubllcaniiQtlonal convention. If
the senior senator umpires to such distinc
tion ho ought to revise, renovate and re
Invigoralo his Republicanism in the mean
time. Of late years he has not been able
ta pass Inspection as a Republican.
A ehart time ago It was announced by
fomo Democratic newspapers that Su
perior Court Judge Oilady desired to
be elected a delegate to tho Republican
national convention. The Judge has em
phatically denied that he has any e.uch
ambition and the Democratic organs
rhould now ftop abusing him as a parti
san. He is out of active polKIcs.
Republicans can always be depended
upon to put patriotism above mere partl
eanlsm when the honor, dignity end
rights of t,!ii3 republic are an Issue. Wit
ness the manner In which the Republican
house of representatives has rallied
around the Democratic president now that
hu is on the right truck.
Now lot President Cleveland go Jifst one
step further In his Americanism and for
ward a polite request to Ambassador Bay
ard to hand in his resignation. Better do
It while the spirit of patriotism moves
him. Just now this repotbllo ought to be
represented in England by a man who
loves his country.
Representative Goetner, of Montgom
ery county, who has served two terms In
tho legislature, has announced that h
wants a third term. In Montgomery, as
elsewhere, there are many who have wait
ed for their turn a long while and are of
the opinion that two terms should Batisfy
Mr. Goetner.
Hon. John Lelsenrlng, it Is understood,
will not be seriously opposed in his ambi
tion to be a delegate in the national con
vention, but there is a disposition among
the Republicans of Luzerne to name the
second delegate themselves, instead of per
mitting Mr. Lelsenrlng to designate him.
Hon. Chris. L. Slugce, of Pittsburg, is
probably wondermg why his name does
not appear in the list of delegates at
large to the Republican national conven
tion prepared by Brother Quay. Mr. Ma
gee will appear in that convention Just
the same, and as a delegate, too.
Next yjar Republicans who attend the
state convention of their party at Harris
burg win not be likely to suffer with the
heart, as has been usual. There will be
that advantage In holding the convention
In April.
It Is gratifying to notice that the Demo
cratic newspapers are endorsing tho pres
ident in his outburst of patriotic adher
ence to the Monroe doctrine. The effect
is both gratifying and beneficial.
Secretary of the Commonwealth Reeder
hopes to be one of the delegates to the
national convention from the Northamp
ton Congressional district. Judge Stroh,
of Carbon, will probably be the other.
Governor Hastings has Issued the com
mirsions to the seven Superior court
Judges-elect, and they are beautifully en
grossed specimens of the art of pen
manship. A Dnocratlo organ remaTks that "now
President Cleveland has a party behlnl
him. So he has-the Republican party is
backing him up now that he Is right.
