GLOBE ij SNUBBED BY HARR1TY Mr. Cleveland Not in Sympathy with the I'attison lioom. KAXTS TO NAME THE NOMINEE The President Thinks That ths N.xt Leader of the ltemocratio Hosts Should Be Son). One Connected with His Administration. Special to the Scranton Tribune. Tribune Bureau, Clu Hth St.. X. W. Washington, Feb. IS. The meeting of the Democratic, state committee of Pennsylvania at llarrisburg on Wed nesday, and the launching of ex-CJover-nor Pattlson's presidential boom there at, caused some comment among Dem ocratic politicians here. The friends of President Cleveland are inclined to re gard the action of Boss Harrlty and his machine as a trifle presumptous. If not ungrateful. If Mr. Cleveland is not a candidate himself. It is but natural that he should want to have at least some say In the selection of his succes sor If for no other reason than to have his administration endorsed. There Is Plenty of good presidential timber in the president's otlicial household, anil Just why Mr. Harrlty. who distributed nil of President Cleveland's loaves ami fishes In Pennsylvania, should now de sert him has caused the latter's friends some little surprise. If not disappoint ment. Burely. President Cleveland de served better treatment from Mr. Har rlty. The office holders who have aid ed and abetted Mr. Harrlty in his Ignor ing of the president may come to grief. These creatures of Haiti I y may b called uiMin to account for their rash ness. President Cleveland has a keen ap preciation of the Importance of a dele gation as large as that which Pennsyl vania will send to the next national convention. He believes that he is en titled to some consideration at the hands of the Democracy of this country, nnd especially by those whom he has favored with patronage. To be turned down. Ignored, squelched by a niun whose lease of power In the state bus been extended, if not perpetuated, by him. must, indeed, he humiliating to Mr. Cleveland. The president has his own views about the nomination. If he doesn't want It himself he contends that he Is entitled to the endorsement which was accorded to those great two term Democratic presidents Jefferson. Madison. Monroe and Jackson re ceived from their party the nomina tion of some one consoh-uously Identi fied with the policy of his administra tion. President Cleveland tins In his cabinet Mr. Carlisle.. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Olney, distinguished Democratic statesmen, his trusted associates. th great leaders for currency reform, tar iff reform ami the unquestionable and universally popular foreign policy of the administration. lirovcr I'cels the Snub. Mr. Harrlty evidently proposes to Ig nore the president anl his associates in the selection of a candidate at the coming Chicago convention. If he In for Paftlson he Is certainly not for either Carlisle, Wilson. Olney or any other Democrat identified with the Cleveland administration. He pro poses to enforce his pernicious and un fair unit rule to carry out his pro gramme. His cry will be that gover nor I'attison Is a favorite son. It Is true, I'attison Is a favorite son, but Isn't be Buss Harrlty's favorite son? Didn't he obey Hoss Harrlty during his four years as governor? Did Patlison ever do anything while governor of the great state of Pennsylvania without first consulting the wishes of his mas ter. Mr. llurrity? I'miuesthmably. not. With the ex-governor In the white house Boss Harrity would be the presi dent as he was the governor during Mr. Paulson's incumbency of that high of fice. He would rule supreme, anil Dem ocrats who ptosed this arraut boss In the past would stund no more show of getting an office than a cainel has of passing through the eye of a needle. It would be Hoss Harrlty's Philadelphia machine against the country. The country Democrats would he persona non grata at Mr. Harrlty's pie counter. They would have to go hungry ss they are doing now. Icfcnt the I nit Knlc. Tn the opinion of administration Dem ocrats herp, the only way to clip the claws of Boss Harrlty is to defeat his un-American unit rule. Then all good Democrats will have an eriuo! show. They will be their own masters. As matters now stand, the country dele gates have no say In party manage ment. They are overpowered by th Philadelphia machine of which Mr. Harrlty Is sole owner. He boasts of his power, and Is not slow In using it against any man who dares oppose him. I had a talk with an olliclp.l under President Cleveland today on the sub ject of ex-Oovernor Paulson's candi dacy for the presidency. He said: "It Is quite a compliment to any man to have the votes of his state delegation for president, and I presume Pennsyl vania will Rive its vote 'to governor Pattison. That, however, will be about all the good It will do him. Do you suppose the Democratic party Is going to nominate a man from Pennsylvania with a quarter of a million majority in the state against him? Well." he contlnyed, makes very little differ ence who is nominated by the Dem ocracy thlsyear. In my opinion the next president will not be a Democrat." - W. K. B. HOUSE FOR SOUND MONEY.' Kefnses by Overwhelming Vote to As sept the Senate Hill. Washington. Feb. IS. After nearly two weeks of almost continuous debate the house this afternoon, in committee of the whole, by a vote or 10 to 80. rec ommended to the house non-concurrence In the senate free coinage amend ment to the house bill providing addi tional revenue. As nearly as could be judged, about half of the Democratic members voted against the senate sub stitute and the Kepuhllcan vote in favor of It was about .10. The exact figures, however, will be known tomor row, when the roll will be called for a yea and nay.vote on the committee rec ommendation. , The foHewing proposed amendments were lost by the votes stated: By Mr. Long Kep.. Kan.) to coin the product of the mines of the Vnlted States only HS to 41. By Mr. Brumin Kep., Pa.) providing that whenever the commer cial ratio of the two metals shall vary from the coinage ratio the seigniorage shall be retained by the government Si to 30. By Mr. Towne (Rep., Minn.) committing the t'nlted States to the free coinage of Bilver at the ratio of 15',i to 1 whenever Germany and France open their mints for the same purpose 146 to 62. Mr. Dingley, chairman of the commit tee on ways and means, announced that tomorrow Mr. Crisp would speak in favor of concurring In the senate amendment; members of the ways and means committee opposed to that ac tion would reply, then he should ask a vote upon the recommendation of the committee of the whole. - , The senate refused by a vote of 19 to "I to take up the house tariff bill, with the free coinage subltitute; ami that measure combines to remain on the vice president's tabic. The motion had the support of none but Kepuhlicans and the Democrats voting solidly against It, together with four Populists, Messrs. Allen, of Nebraska: Butler, of North Carolina: Jones of Nevada, and Pfeffer, of Kansas: and three Itopubllcans, Messrs. Carter, of Montana. Dubois, of Idaho, and Teller, of Colorado. The urgent deficiency bill carrying appropriations to the amount of about S6.000.tMMt was passed: and the military appropriation bill was taken up nnd Is now unfinished business. The resolu tion of Mr. Allen (Pop., Neh.) calling on the Interior department for a great mass of Information touching the past history and present status of the I'nlon Pacific Baih-oad company, gave rise to some discussion and will be eventually modified so as to Instruct the Pacific Itailroad company to furnish the In formation, ami that committee was also authorised to examine the' witnesses who come before it under oath that condition being insisted upon by Mr. Morgan (Dcin.. Ala.), a member of the committee, who referred to Mr. Hiint ingtonbynameusone whose statements he desired to have made under the sanctity of an oath. At another stage of the proceedings the Pacific railroad problem came up, Mr. Pettlgrew (Hep., S. D.) making a violent speech against the reorganization committee and its plan. The resolutions on the subject of Cuba were taken up under an agree ment made a few days previously, but Mr. Call (Dem., Flu.), who had them In charge, consented to let them go over for the day. At 5.10 the senate adjourned until Monday. Opposed to New States. Delegate Cutron. of New Mexico, made un argument before the senate committee on territories this morning favoring the admission of Xew Mexico as u states. The committee hns not yet taken up these statehood bills for serious discussion, but the expressions made In the committee room are such as to Indicate that the majority of the committee Is opposed to admission to any iidldtlonal states at this time. The senators believe that none of the terri tories now seeking admission have reached a stage that congress would be justified In permitting them to ussume sovereign powers. Behind all of this Is also a feeling that it would be a power of advocates for the five coinage of silver, the members of the committee believing that the senators who would represent these new states would be for free and unlimited coinage of silver. This phase of the case has never been openly discussed In committee but it Is supposed to lie the most potent argu ment against a further admission of territories. The house fore.lrrn affairs committee gave no consideration to Cuban mat ters at their meeting today. Only a brief part of the correspondence sent to the house on Tuesday has been printed and neither the sub-committee nor the full committee will act upon it until It shall have been thoroughly read and considered.

OTHEK INTERESTING MOVES Cullom and the Vice-Presidency Mc kinley's Provision for the I nccrtaln tics of Politlcs-Fx-Uovernor Camp bell F.nters the Democratic List. Washington, Dec. 13. Senator Quay, whose candidacy for the presidency was announced this morning, today received a great many telegrams and letters from friends in various parts of the country. "The report sent out last evening." said the senator, "is ac curate In every particular. I have con sented to permit my name to be used at the St. Louis convention. My friends have urged me to become a candidate and I have consented." The cullom liooin. The fact that Senator Cullom has ex pressed his willingness to have his name presented at the St. Louis con vention hits served to further compli cate the labors of the men who have allied themselves with other booms. When Cullom was first mentioned lit tle attention was paid to the "boom let." An important bearing of his can didacy upon the Iteed campaign, how ever, has since developed. The senti ment of Illinois was naturully favor able to McKlnley. especially under the lend of Mr. Kohlsaat und his great newspapers. The switching off of this support from Ohio's favorite son to Cul lom Is believed to be an entering wedge for throwing the delegation to the man from Maine. Cullom hardly imagines that he Is really a national figure of presidential size, but jils friends hope that by having at their disposal the vote In convention of the third state of the L'nion they will be able to make some valuuble alllunces. With Iteed at the head of the ticket, Cullom would be geographically suited for the vice presidential nomination, and his friends have made no secret of his will ingness to accent this honor. In Case .Mchinle) Loses. Columbus. ()., Feb. If confidence may be placed In the statement of a shrewd politician who Is willing to talk, but who does not wish to see his name In print, the friends of ex-Uovernor McKlnley ha vebeendolng some hedging on the presidential question, und plan ning to save something out of the wreck, even If their candidate should he defeated at St. Louis or at the polls. The arrangement Is' to support McKln ley solidly at the national convention, to which the Foraker people agreed. Then, If McKlnley Is nominated and elected, or. If he is not nominated and some other Republican being elected he gets a place In the cabinet. Gover nor Bushnell Is to be mude Sherman's successor, to which the McKlnley peo ple agreed. But If McKlnley loses the nomination, or after getting It is de feated at the polls, then he Is to be elected to the senate if a Kepuhllcan majority in the legislature can be se cured. A Democratic Boom for Campbell. There Is no longer doubt that a con certed effort will be made to make ex Governor Campbell the next Democrat tic presidential nominee, an event' which was considered probable before the last election, but which was sup posed to have been made impossible by the governor's overwhelming defeat last fall. A Democratic member of the legislature, who Is a close personal friend of Mr. Campbell, and who al ways has been his ardent supporter, talked at length about the situation the other duy. From him it Is learned that an organization of ex-uovernor Camp bell's friends has been formed for the purpose of securing a solid delegation for him from Ohio, and incidentally to create and encourage sentiment for him everywhere. The Quay Bonin in Gotham. New York, Feb. IS.
