The Harrlsburg Platform
Inasmuch as a clear majority of the
delegates at Harrlsburg on Thursday
will In all probability be In favor of the
Bold single standard, we cordially
agree with th Philadelphia Press and
other self-styled "sound money" pa
pers that the Pennsylvania Republi
can convention ought to express Its
belief plainly and forcibly on the money
question, by meann ut a plank squarely
and uncompromisingly declaring for
theKold standard, We would suggest,
tuof that no attempt be made to dodge
behind the future possibility of Inter
national bimetallism, since if bimetall
ism be desirable at all, it would savor
of cowardice for the United States to
defer efforts for its establishment out
t deference to the convenience of
Kurope.
To be sure, there are Republicans in
Pennsylvania who do not believe that
the present effort to limit our currency
to a gold foundation Is wise. They vig
orously dissent from the proposition
that the available stock of gold is) suf
ficient to make a safe base for the
money of mankind. They regard as
unsound and unjust the contemporary
effort, however honestly Intended, to
banish silver from the mints of the
I'nlted States. They consider that one
of the chief reasons of the present gen
eral depression in business In this
country Is the luck of an elastic cur
rency adequate In volume to the grow
ing population and the Increasing
transactions of trade. They, therefore,
regard as inimical to the true interests
of the country the proposition of the
gold single standard advocates that sil
ver should permanently be deprived of
its function as a redemption money
metal and that when gold gives out,
Its place should be taken by credit
paper. But since these Republicans
appear from all accounts to be as yet
In a minority in this commonwealth.
It cannot be held with any approxima
tion to fairness that their views should
be considered in the formulutlim of
next Thursday's platform. The ma
jority should by all means have the
courage of Its convictions.
So far as The Tribune Is concerned,
it Is willing to commit the ultimate so
lution of this problem to the future.
Among the masses of the people there
has yet been practically no serious
study of it. Catch phrases constitute,
for the present, the chief stock of those
who essay to discuss It. That a pro
nouncement of party belief under BUch
circumstances of general Ignorance
can be regarded as final seems to us
little short of preposterous. The mere
fact that within less than four years
the great parties have run the gamut
from bimetallism either to gold or to
sliver monometallism', without deign
ing to stop to argue, proves that the
American people have not yet got any
where near the width of the subject.
When they study it carefully and calm!
ly, at first hand, for themselves, public
opinion on the subject will become val
uable and decisive. In the meantime.
It Is the privilege of the phrase carpen
ters to occupy the rostrum and to get
all the enjoyment out of It that they
can.
It is suggested that General Grosven
or and Representative Aldrlch refer
their respective delegate claims to arbi
tration, i
On the Democratic Side.
Having reduced the St. Louis con
vention to the tame dimensions of a
McKinley ratification, meeting, our"
amiable friend, Majbr Handy, now de
votes his clever column In the Chicago;
Times-Herald to a forecast of the plat
form possibilities of the Chicago gath
ering In July. There is now no doubt
whatever In his opinion that the free
B liver wing of the Democracy will mus
ter a majority of the pemocratlc na
tional delegates three months hence,
thus giving It control over the plat
form; and he thinks that the possibili
ties are strong that there may be a two
thirds vote for silver, In which event
the Cleveland wing would be Ignored
altogether and some westerner nomi
nated who Is conspicuous as a chamA
plon of free and unlimited silver? coin-'
agt. Me doti not look for state
west of Ohio to send a "sound money"
delegation to Chicago.
In that event, 11 would be reasonable
to expect the administration Democrats'
to set up a ticket of their own or else
to. act with the Republicans. They
could hardly swallow their convictions
by supporting a free coinage platform.
The former course is the more proba
ble; In .which event the line of battle
would be drawn with two gold parties
arranged against one silver party, the
latter being largely re-infotyed In the
south and west by the Populists and
by many Prohibitionists friendly to
free silver. " The probable electoral
vote of the various states In such an
emergency we estimate as follows:

The foregoing estimate concedes In
diana and New York to the Republi
cans and South Dakota to the silver
wing 'of the Democracy. It 18 within
the range of possibilities that the gold
wing of the Democracy might capture
New York, thanks to the Rulnes bill,
and the silver wing capture Indiana,
the Republicans meanwhile regaining
South Dakota. Such a combination
would leave the Republicans one vote
short of a majority and throw the elec
tion Into the house of representatives,
but this Is a highly improbable contin
gency, and would still leave the Re
publicans successful. Viewed from
any standpoint, Republican success
next November seems assured.
We fear that the esteemed Philadel
phia Record Is getting unnecessarily
excited on the money question. It need
have no fear 'that a majority of Ameri
can voters will ever deliberately chooBe
a dishonest currency.
The Harmony Outlook.
It Is evident to close observers of the
drift of political events lit Pennsylvania
that a reconciliation between the war
ring Republican factions In Philadel
phia Is likely to occur soon. The peace
conference at Harrlsburg Saturday be
tween Mayor Warwick and Senator
Quay, called through the mediation of
Governor Hastings, ended, It is true,
In no public proclamation of truce, but
there Is ample authority for saying that
a public proclamation may be expected,
at an early day. It Is possible, even
probable, that when Thursday's con
vention shall have ended, the Repub
licans of Pennsylvania will know, be
yond a shadow of a doubt, that the
only local center of serious Irritation re
maining in state politics will be Alle
gheny county, the stamping ground of
the Irreconcilable Magee.
As the situation has been revelwed
In a spirit of calmness and fairness, it
has become evident to many of Sena
tor Quay's warmest friends that his
feeling of resentment toward David
Martin for declining to subject the
party In Philadelphia to the risk of a
defeat In the municipal election of one
year ago, which It would admittedly
have incurred under the peculiar cir
cumstances) of the moment by the nom
ination of Penrose, lacked substantial
foundation. At all events, it has been
pretty well demonstrated to those who
are willing to look at plain facts that
Martin was not altogether at fault,
and that the monopoly of virtue did not
rest entirely with the opposing side.
This being perceived, It naturally be
comes only a question of time until the
Heedlessness of prolonged hostilities,
with he!r damaging effect on party
Interests generally, will be the means
of drawing both sides to an amicable
understanding:,
In the case of Magee, the- war will,
doubtless go on, in much the same old
way, largely as a means of averting
monotony. The amiable Alleghenlan Is
never so happy as when engaged In a
tussle with somebody. It gives him ex
ercise and promotes the gayety of na
tions. Magee thoroughly pacified would
be an unprecedented spectacle In Penn
sylvania politics, a dream, a vision, the
jnefe thought of which would pass un-.
demanding. But while 'he will doubt
less continue, as of yore, to make
things Interesting for the Beaver
statesman within a circumscribed area,
the chances do not at this moment look
promising for a spread of that war far
beyond the limits of the city of Pitts
burg. The letter of General Manager 81111
man, of , the Scranton Traction com
pany, -In reply to recommendations
lately submitted by the board of trade
reads like a sincere document and will
doubtless be accepted In that spirit. It
is' fair to Mr. Sllllman to say that dur
ing his management of Traction affairs
the service rendered by that company
to Its" patrons has compared very favor
ably with that of past regimes.. The
company, as probably everybody
knows, is handicapped by business con
ditions over which Its general manager
has no control; considering these ob
stacles, Mr, Sllllman la doing extreme
ly well. '
, .m ' e ' i. t
,. Mr, Kohlsaat, of Chicago, Informs us
that put of 1,200 delegates to the Illi
nois': Republican convention, which
meets at Springfield one week from to
rhAfrow, only forty-nine have been In
structed i for Senator Cullom. He
negltots, however, to add that the Cul-,
lorn fight In Illinois has been to prevent
McKinley 'Instructions, arid that this
endeavor has been successful In more
than a majority of the districts. These
unlnstructed delegates are Cullom dele
gates, and unless there Is a rapid
change In the next eight days, Illinois
Republicans at their state assemblage
will pronounce for Cullom first, with
McKinley as second choice.
The demand for free sliver in the
West and South Is a natural conse
quence of the scarcity of money In those
sections. The East and the North have
numerous banks and can get along, at
a pinch, on a currency of checks. But
In the less densely 'populated agricul
tural and mineral areas of the South
west, money In metallic or paper form
Is the only thing which is acceptable
In discharge of debts; and when the
circulation of money Is abnormally con
tracted, as H Is today, these areas in
variably) revolt. Secretary Carlisle's
present war on the greenback is in
political significance a war for the turn
ing of the Chicago convention over to
the whlte-metallists, and It Is succeed
ing admirably.
It Is gratifying to observe that the
New York Journal, which started In,
a few months ago, to out-stlnk the
World in sensationalism, has begun to
emulate cleaner examples. The Jour
nal, however, still has need of reform.
The fact that Leach is less objection
able than Andrews would have been
does not necessarily signify that Leach
Is the proper man for state chairman.
If the Republican convention Is wise It
will take a clean new man like Elkln.
Mr. Piatt, of New Yotk, has begun to
give out dally antl-McKlnley inter
views. It is high time Senator Quay
sent him a certain historic bit of ad
vice. ...
Frank Willing Leach In charge of a
reform campaign would be almost as
funny as was "Billy" Andrews at the
head of the senate purity committee.
About the only persons Who want the
factional war to continue in Philadel
phia are the political hangers-on, and
they need not count.
QUAY AS A KEFOBMEB.
Pittsburg Dispatch in Chicago Record.
United States Senator M. S. Quay Is a
reformer in Pennsylvania, and is in dead
earnest, no matter how he may stand
in the presidential nomination contest.
Notwithstanding his former pollUcal ca
reer. Quay, since last summer, has hoeu
absolutely sincere In regard to the pro
pesed reform legislation in this state. It
is the purpose of this telegram to prove
to itclitcal students outside of Pennsylva
nia wiiy he Is sincere. In the tirst place, he
must rigidly adhere to his reform profes
sion or his political career will end lg
nominiously am) forever at home, and with
this goes glimmering all his chances in a
national way. Residents of other states
have naturally looked upon Mr. Quay as a
prince of political tricksters. So he was
until a year ago, but outsiders have not
bad a clear Idea of his great change of
programme. Quay's canvass for the pres
idential nomination has, among those who
do not know him well, helped along
the general, although erroneous. Idea of
bis life's programme. The opposition to
the "favorite-son" idea has Injured him.
The facts, until now unpublished in a
clear and emphatic form, are that Quay
reuliy wants the nomination and that he
proposes to stay in the race until there
is no longer any chance for him. - The
whole Idea originated not with Quay, but
with enthusiastic friends, and it was some
time later before Quay became Imbued
with the idea himself. He has since hud
the fever bad, but he is not conducting
the campaign as have McKinley's mana
gers. Quay expects to get votes outside of
Pennsylvania, but his hunt for them haa
been a still one. His friends bank consid
erably on the ordinarily mistaken course
of Inaugurating a campaign too early, as
they think McKinley's lieutenants have
done. They have taken into consideration
the fact that there' will be quite a long in
terim Cor work between the conclusion of
the last state convention and the actual
opening of the battle at St. Louis. The
Quay people propose to do their work dur
ing this Interim and' in St. Louis. They
can do it in a more systematic manner
than by running the rounds of the state
'conventions. a)v'hen the latter are con
cluded there will be the better opportunity
for discovering the real strength of the
various camps, and also their weak spots.
At St. Louis there will be still better op
portunities, and Mr. Quay has no superior
us an organizer. Ills management of tho
Harrison cnmpalgn In 1888 revealed that.
Kleventh-hour conversions of delegates
are likely to be permanent ones; so It is
not safe for political prophets In making
up ante-convention ballots to put Quuy
down for simply sixty-four votes the to
tal strength qf Pennsylvania. Quay is not
sure of these sixty-four; but he is certain
of fifty-five, no matter what happens. And
he will very likely get sixty-two.
Until the summer of 1895, Mr. Quay wus
regarded by all but his intimate personal
udmirers as nothing more than a shrewd
politician no better and no worse than
other members of his class. Now there
has grown up In Philadelphia and Pitts
burg, headed by "Dave" Martin and
"Charley" Porter in the former and
"Chris" Magee and "Billy" Fllnn In the
latter city, what has since been known as
the "hog combine." Martin was the poli
tical dictator of Philadelphia and Porter
got all the fat contracts. Magee was the
great "I am" of Pittsburg and Fllnn got
the contracts. These conditions still exist
and will continue unless Quay succeeds In
stopping them by means of the proposed
reform legislation. Porter and Fllnn sat
In the senate, Chris Magee ran his Pitts
burg Morning Times and all four were In
Tiro W'tdeuti-Klklns traction uy advents
which controls the street car system of
Phlladelohla and Pittsburg, the two bis
centers of the population of Pennsylvania, i
tho winter of 1894-5, these men secured so
much legislation affecting their grip on the
two cities and their street railway sys
tems that they earned the title of the
"hog combine." Consequently for a year
post all newspaper cartoons unfriendly
to the combine invariably include a hog,
whether prominent or in the background.
The question of whether or not Quay had,
like these men, all his former associates,
feathered his financial nest through his
political power docs not enter Into the
controversy, and Quay probably might
never have interfered with the combine's
plans or became a reformer'lf Its members
had not.trled to dump him. But now that
he has promised to purify the municipal
atmosphere, the independent press of the
state and the honest business men and
taxpayers all through Pennsylvania,
whether Republican, Democrats, Prohibi
tionists or Populists, are with him, but
they will desert him as quick as lightning
If he goes back on his promises.
Quay Is old now ani he is shrewd enuugn
to Bee that It Is better to end his days as
the savior of the taxpayer than It Is to con
tinue in his old course and run the risks
which the average politician is sure to en
counter. For these reasons the great ma
jority of the people of Pennsylvania re
gard him as genuinely tw favor of fctate
reform. So far as his presidential aspira
tions are concerned they are divided, not
on personal grounds, but as a matter of
expediency. Your correspondent, how
ever, finds no one who disputes the ability
of Mr. Quay to make a good president, If
he should ever land in the white house.
Now as to this" reform legislation. The
state convention of last summer which
made Quay state Chairman by his dictation
declared for municipal reform and a com
mittee was appointed to frame the neces.
sary legislation. This Committee consists
of Lyman D. Gilbert, of Harrlsburg;
James Kussell Young, of the Philadelphia
Star; Silas W. Pettit, the Philadelphia
lawyer, and two well-known attorneys of
Pittsburg P. D. Bruce and W. B. Rod
gers. These men have prepared reform
legislation which Is to be submitted to the
stit'te committee for Its consideration on
April 22 and on the following day to the
state convention. Quay will control both
bodies and there la no rtoukt that their
approval will be emphatic. It will re
main for the new legislature of next win
ter to enact the recommendation into
laws. This committee of dtsungulafced it.
lorneya tiae prepared new charters for
Philadelphia. Pittsburg and Allatrhenr.
which will make changes pleasing to the
crankiest of municipal reformers. They
will aim to stop jobbery In municipal con
tracts and they would rob department
hi ads of much of the appointive power
which they now possess. Tr -will com
pel the personal payment of taxes and
will prevent fhe wholesale purchase of tax
receipts by campaign committee. - -
Nearly every evil of American municipal
government, growing out of the American
plan of polities, has been dissected by this
committee In search of remedies. Much
data was gathered for them by a serrate
committee which took testimony In Phil
adelphia and Pittsburg, several aesslons
being held in the former city and one in
the latter. This Penrose committee, so
called, was a little disappointing. It did
not remain at the- business of probing
muntcpal secrets as long as honest cltl
sena wanted it to, and Che testimony Was
not quite so startling aa was predicted.
But then these facts must be taken Into
consideration: The Tammany revelations
In New York had prepared the people for
almost any sort of revelations concerning
their own rulers; the enterprising Inde
pendent newspapers had been for years
anticipating just such revelations, and
then, again, the committeemen were com
pelled to neglect their own business while
serving the state between legislative sea
stona without pay and they eveu had to
ueiray tneir own traveling and notei ex
penses. It was a thankless iob. To sum
it all up. Quuy Is a genuine reformer In
Pennsylvania, or he will be so considered
until the legislature of next winter has
had a fair chance at the reform legisla
tion. If the independent voters of this
state are then disappointed. Quay will be
dead forever afterward so far as politics
is concerned. Should the legislature tak
the other course, Quay may have anything
wntcn Pennsylvania can give mm. mis
is Quay's future in a nutshell. What may
ne none at St. ujiiis is an entirely amor
ent matter.
