There Is no disputing the assertion
that Mr. Neely, of Culm, was born un
der a lucky star.
John P. Elkln.
DKFKAT In politics fs some
times fatal; In other eases It
Is beneficial. The concensus
of well-informed opinion In
the case of John P. Klkln Is that It be
longs within the latter class.
We should have liked to seo Mr. Klkln
win at Wednesday's convention and we
have no apology to offer for the part
we took in supporting his candidacy.
In pursuance of :i pledge given' before
Colonel Wntres announced that lit;
would contest for gubernatorial honors,
a pledge the .inor.e, willingly given be
cause'we then, 'recognized in Mr. Klkln
manly qualities since largely revealed
to the people generally, we followed his
fortunes through the- magnificent cam
paign he made and are with him In de
feat with as thorough a confidence In
his future as if the convention's choice
had fallen upon his shoulders. But we
also recognize that defeat at this time
and under the circumstances by which
It came lias well-defined advantages.
Heretofore Mr. Klkln has been known
to the public mulnly as a lieutenant of
others. Their mistakes were visited
upon him for censure; their faults
charged to him for punishment. Be
cause he would not turn his buck on
men who had befriended htm, Mr. Kl
kln was held to account for the vicious
legislation instigated by those lately
foremost in attacking him: and for the
unpopular administrative acts commit
ted by his Immediate ofllcial chief. De
feat of his gubernatorial aspiration lib
erates him to stand hereafter upon his
own feet, the lieutenant of no man a
leader with credentials direct from the
people. .
The light waged by lilm was a clean,
vigorous and' manly light. It failed
among the delegates for reasons not
necessary to repeat, but It has not
failed among ,the people. What is
known as the 'Klkln organization a
ftrco. measured at Hurrisburg by up
V'uril of ISO delegates whom money
could not buy nor temptation swerve
will not disband. Neither will it lay
down. It has chosen deliberately the
leader whom it will follow, and it smil
ingly awaits hls'call. It Is not a mer
cenary organization, but a band of
young Mepubllenns who, with malice
iowar'd none, propose to take an active
part In the politics of the future. Its
membership can survive defeat nnd
profit by experience. The road Is long
that has no turning, and the road
iliey tread has victory for Its goal.
At 42, Jn thejielght of physical vigor
aad - mental 'strength, a recognized
giant among the younger Republicans
of thp country, and rich in the esteem
and admiration of those who know
him best, Including many compnlsorlly
aligned against him in the recent fight,
John" Klkln can afford to bide ills time,
"When he went down on "Wednesday It
was with colors flying. The colors
have, not been lost nor captured and
he will not stay down.
Hope springs eternal in the breast of

appointed wllh American sovereignty,
Hut for Hint umlter, they would, If lliey
paid attention, he dlsiippoluted With

government is without mistakes and
abuses. In the most enlightened com
munities nf cultured New Kngland, the
section' most critical of what Is going
on In tin! nVwIy acquired archipelago,
there arc ihiiny things In government,
If we may believe the local press, which
need remedying; and it large number
of abuses which 'Justify the employ
ment of co-nstli: rhetoric In their dls
ii'tissloiu .Yet no Niw Kngiunder would
trade the sovereignty which is over him
for any oilier sovereignty: nnd, reason
ing humanly, It Is not dltllciilt to be
lieve that a time will conic when tho
superiority of American principles of
government as adjusted In the Philip
pines to local conditions and require
ments will so strongly commend Itself
to the appreciation of the more capable
Filipinos that any suggestion of a
change would be as repugnant to them
ns would a similar suggestion If made
In New Kngland.
We do not believe that a successful
campaign can lie made by the demo
cratic party with abandonment of the
Philippines us the chief plank In the
ohstructlonnry platform, However, , If
tlie Democracy think differently, a poll
of the people on the subject will have
educational value.
Our esteemed contemporaries of the
smoky rlty seem to think that the new
Pennsylvania railroad llyers are placed
on tlm schedule solely to enable peo
ple to get to Pittsburg quickly. The
fact is they are for the purpose of en
abling those whose business calls them
to Pittsburg to get away quickly.
Time to Keep Faith.
l'lieiiiilvociilly and with emphasis tills
convention declares for a pure and hon
est ballot in the state of Pennsylvania,
and for Hie enactment of such laws or
the amendment of existing laws as will
most effectively and speedily accomplish
this most desirable purpose. The Repub
lican party of Pennsylvania stands pre
pared to aid any or all other parties in
remedying any defects that may exist in
the present system of popular suffrage
or to advance any new plan that will
vouchsafe to the people an honest ballot
and fair count. Republican Platform.
TIIKItK IS one law which in
tlie light of experience seems
desirable in the interest of
cleaner elections. Thnt is a
law establishing uniform open prim
ary elections, to be held in every coun
ty simultaneously. While Wednes
day's convention exhibited Instances In
which delegates Instructed by their con
stituents proved perfidious under ex
ceptional temptation, it Is hard to be
lieve that there would be perfidy on a
large scale if tlie Hepublicans of every
county should openly Instruct at a uni
form primary.
Tills plan has been .tried in certain
oilier states and It lias worked well. A
rule requiring that the lowest name In
the convention balloting he dropped un
til one candidate shall receive u major
ity would prevent the deadlocking of
the state convention by reason of a
multiplicity of names.
While the millennium In politics Is
evidently remote In Pennsylvania' It is
not difficult to deduce from the recent
proceedings at Ilarrisburg that some
thing must be done to make conven
tions representative If the Republican
party In this state is to remain a ma
jority party. When as many as two
score delegates elected and committed
in the interest of a certain candidate
can be Induced at the last moment to
transfer their support to a rival can
didate who had not been able to secure
the endorsement of a single open prim
ary, it requires no comment to con
vince the average man that something
is wrong. In the present campaign tho
benetlelnry of this peculiar kind of mis
sionary work Is acquitted of responsi
bility and will doubtless receive thu
party's united and earnest support, be
cause of ids high character and respect
able attainments; but the system is
vicious and unless remedied will yet
wind up In disaster.
The Hepublicans of Pennsylvania
will look to the administration of fiov
ernOr Pennypacker to carry out In good
faith the pledge quoted from the state
platform nt the head of this article.
Pledges similar in tenor have been
made before and nfterward Ignored or
repudiated. The time seems to be ripe
for keeping faith In this matter.

COMMENTS ON THE
CONVENTION'S WORK
Tho Insurgents Flensed.
From tlio Philadelphia Press.
TMK HHPt'llMOAN' stnte convention
litis met Hie high lcqiilremeulB rf
the hour. It has justified the hopfs
and expectations of thorn: true and
patriotic Republicans who wulit In see
the Kepiihllcaulmn of Pennsylvania
brought up more ileal ly to the level of
tlie Republicanism of the country.
The nomination for governor iIsps to
the Just public standard. Tlie platform,
linllki; same of former years, Is a sound,
lpstriilned, Judicious declaration of Re
publican principles and policies, with no
uncertain voice oh tlie salient and con
trolling Issues or the day. llpyond ami
above alt tlm audacious and determined
attempt to put the brand of a recreant
nnd repudiated 'state mllnliilMtriitlon on
tlm Republican organization nnd to com
mit the party to the perpetuation of Its
kind lias happily been bullied and de
feated. The Republicans of tlie state may well
feel a sense of relief and the, people of
all parties may well rejoice that tlio
great office of governor Is to be re
deemed in the clean hands of Judge
Pennypncker. He Is a man of rugged
and sterling honesty, In whine rectitude
of purpose and .Integrity of action tlio
most Implicit confidence may be unhesi
tatingly reposed. Twelve yealS of stain
less service on the bench have attested
his probity and his courage. He knows
the curlier and tlie glorious hlstury of
Pennsylvania: lie lias deeply studied Us
best traditions and Inltuences: he has
pride of race and blood and honor. A
jurist of learning and purity, a scholar of
solid attainments, a patriot of civic vir
tue and true public spirit, a man of In
dependent mold hiul resolute will, he will
carry Into the governor's chair the at
tributes which assure ralthfiil, upright
and fearless administration.
No ripper bills without his resistance
and his veto! No stolen franchises with
bis sanction! No glaring assumption on
Ids part to nullify constitutional amend
ments! No spoliation of schools or coun
tercheck of charities! To make a good
governor Is unfortunately not necessarily
to make a good legislature; but it Is
much to gain a governor who will stand
as a wall of adamnnt ngalnt vicious
legislation. That gain we secure In the
nomination of Judge Pennypncker. It Is
the talisman of n united party. Tlio con
science of Republicans who have stood
aloof for some years or who have voted
their open protest will readily accept
him. They stand for good government,
andso dues he. They stand for public,
honesty, and so does he. They want a
governor whose character Is ills suffi
cient pledge, and Judge Pennypacker
comes up to tho standard.
Tlie action of the convention Is the
fruition of the policy which the Press has
fulthfulh' anil earnestly advocated. It Is
the vindication and the realization of
the counsel which has been steadfastly
given in these columns. The Press Is
naturally and deeply gratified with the
adoption or a course toward which It lias
steadily pointed the Republicans of Penn
sylvania. It is earnestly Republican
from conviction: it believes in Republican
principles; It accepts and encourages Re
publican orqanlzatlnn as tho medium of
Republican raith: but It takes its party
for the sake of Its principles, and not its
principles for tlie sake n! Its party. When
the organization Is faithless to true Re
publican standards, it must stand con
demned; and when It meets the best Re
publican demands it must equally be
commended.
The llarrlshurg convention fulfilled tills
requirement. If it was a struggle be
tween two factions of the Republican
machine, it Is none the less true that
while one of them made Itself the defen
der of a false administration nnd the
champion or n false policy, the other had
the wisdom to put Itself on tlio side of
richt. Had It been a mere wrangle of
factions simply for factional gain on
either side, the body of citizen Republi
cans who are not mere camp followers
might have looked on Willi Indifference.
Hill when they found ono faction con
tending to keep tlie organization In tlie
odium from which it bad suffered and
the other responsive to their own de
mand for a nomination which should
pledge better administration, they could
not be passive spectators, but welcomed
and aided those who. for whatever rea
son, were working for the same result as
themselves.
Senator Quay had the sagacity to re
cognize a . threatening danger and the
iipuse to avert It. He comes out of tho
convention with added prestige as a par
ty chief. Ills fight was with his own
lieutenants, trained under ids own eye
In Ids own methods, and he has shown
Hint he is still the master of polities. He
might have kept bands off and seen bis
ambitious staff oftlceis make up a cabal
of their own and rush the party head
long and recklessly Into a rashness and
folly that would have brought Inevitable
catastrophe. It Is to his credit that ho
put bands on and prevented the mistake.
Ho saved the party from a disastrous
blunder by his Intervention against somn
of his lieutenants, and ho was himself
saved In the resulting light because lie
took a position which aligned lilm with
the better Republican demands. It this
experience and the new situation shall
induce lilm to follow Hie line which has
brought success now, so much tlio belter
for him and for all concerned.
AVe accept and welcome Judge Penny
pncker for what he himself Is. Wn know
his quality. The bench, the bar and the
people of Philadelphia and of Hie sur
rounding country know it. Tlie people of
Hie whole state will coino to know and
applaud It. Coinn In what way It may,.
no mars no mans impress, ins mum is
wholly his own. Ills nomination saves
the party from a break, and his gover
norship will save the state from shame.
The Wnnnmnker View.
From the North American.
Another turn of Hie kaleidoscope, and
Pennsylvania Is startled by a nev and
strunge picture. Quay u conqueror of
corruption, Iniquity overthrown by Ini
quity, virtue made the willing crentiirn
of vice when was more sardonic spec
tacle presented to an amazed people?
Dominating It all is the figure of a small,
old man wllh seamed fuen and bent
shoulders. Fate reserved for his last
days tint greatest triumph of his career,
That which tlm whole people could not
do, he has done. For years futile assault
lias been made upon entrenched govern
ment. At his bidding the walls are razed
and tin defenders scattered, lie has
served himself first, but the state also,
In destroying tlio evil power of tho Stone
Klkln ring.
Of this victory tlie spoils assuredly are
his, and no less tho dlshouer of tlio
means employed. For tlm strength of ids
side was but a matter nf degree. Know
ing no other way, troubled' with strong
delusion, his enemies sent against lilm
bribery and Intimidation full panoplied.
Rut when will tlie pupil prevail osalnst
the teacher, or tho apprentice, however
eager, approach the. handiwork of tho
master craftsman? Well might (ho end
luivo been known from tlm beginning,
Tho Stones and th Klkhm are not only
defeated, but luado ashamed, because,
counting their desire equal to Quay's,
they blindly pleasured their skill and
il.iriiig against ids.
All thu greater Is Quay's victory slnco
tho Republican party of tho stnte, as be
tween Quay and Klkln, declared openly
for Klkln. In this, let It he understood,
was no tribiito to Klkln as worthy of
high ollice. Ills fitness was nowhere and
at no tlmo In question. Not once was
appeal made' to his record. Never hofoia
was u llq;ht at the primaries waged with
out promise or pledge, platform or policy.
Tills ulonu was nuido tho issuo: That
ICIllii, who laid suffered obloquy ami
dared disgrace In tho service of Quay,
bud been thrust aside from reward by an
Insatiate despot. Tha Klkln plurality at
tho primaries was therefore but n pro
test against the eold-blomled lagratlttido
of it relentless and well-served hosslsm.
Nevertheless, though the r.piitlmpnt was
a sordid affront to decency. It was real
and wldcsprutd, and that It was throttled
by Quay must bo counted by tho title of
his achievement.
In tho pi event and future of Qtlnylsm,
It needs no seer to discern lli.it there Is
greater menace than ever before threat
ened tho state. It lias crushed revolt,
shackled the men who had made them
selves Infamous In Its-service, and en
ttr.nehed Itself behind u fatuous respec
tability. From weakness It has plucked
Blrengllt. In that certain elements of
political villainy have been routed, tho
people may congratulate themselves. In
that tlie greater force for evil has taken
new power, they may well look to the de
fenses of their state's honor.
One word now as to the candidate. As
n Judge, as a scholar, us a private citi
zen. Judge Pennypacker needs no eulogy.
From this time forth, his record In these
n Intlons may stand free from comment.
But by his own will he has covered a
spotless' ermine with the stained robo of
a purchased preferment, and Itoat must
ever remain In the eyes of men.
The Stnlwni't View.
Kriini the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Tills journal has believed, 'it believes
still, that tlio choice of the great mass of
the Republican voters of Pennsylvania ns
their candidate for election to tlie gover
norship wns John P. Klkln, and believing
that. It would have been false to the
principles which it has constantly pro
fessed, recreant to what It has always
regarded as Its duty anil faithless to its
part as the representative and champion
of the people, had It not done Its utmost
nnd Its best to bring til)oul ids nomina
tion." It has failed, no matter how, and
not more for Itself than for the wejfare
of tlio organization whose Interests In
this as In other conflicts it has sincerely
bad at heart It profoundly regrets the
circumstance.
But what can he regretted cannot be
changed. 11 hns been a fierce contest
ami exciting stiuggle, and Klkln hns gone
down .fighting with his boots on, but tho
Republican convention has spoken uml
tlie Inquirer ns a loyal Republican paper
has no oilier thought than loyally to uc
ccpt Its decision. H is no Insurgent, no
bolter, it believes wllh Mr. Klkln that
fights kept within tlio ranks do not harm
the Republican party. All men have a
right to aspire to otllee. nml Mr. Klkln
has but exercised this right. Ho made an
bonoiuble and manly contest.
The past few days aroused animosi
ties, which grew out the desertion of
Klkln by certain delegates elected and In
structed for lilm. This is the unhappy
feature of the convention. But there will
bo no faltering upon the part of Klkln.
lie will be found lighting for the whole
ticket, and fighting to win. He Is still a
young man, and a brilliant career Is sure
ly opening before him.
It Is essential that the administration
at Washington should be supported.
CJreat Issues are involved that muke for
the weal or woe of the t'nlted States.
The Republican policy, financially, com
mercially and In foreign affairs, must be
upheld. The country has u right to look
to Pennsylvania for strength, for not
cnly Is a governor to bo elected in No
vember, but a Pulled States senntorsulp
Is at stake. The senator will bo chosen
by tho legislature, and the legislature
must have a Republican majority to elect
a Republican senator.
In Judge Pennypacker himself, Penn
sylvania will hnve a governor whose life
i:s an open book, every page of which
can hear the closest scrutiny. A man of
lrari'lrg, a close student of public affairs,
a Pennsylvania!! who loves Pennsylvania
end glories in its greatness, ho Is a safe
guide to place at tho head of the admin
istration. There is nothing that will ad
vance tho interests of the commonwealth
t lint he will not do; there Is nothing in
the way of vicious legislation that will
cse.ipe ids veto.
1 et us present a solid front to the
em my, thrrefore, and not only elect the
state ticket In its entirety, but see to It
that tlie close legislative districts are
carried.
The Democratic View.
From Hie Philadelphia Times.
The opposition to Senator Quay's dic
tatorship within the Republican organ
izatlou never appeared so formidable as
a' Hi" meeting of this year's state con
Mlillon. Never before was his personal
power manifested with more crushing
force. His victory over all classes of
opponents is complete and overwhelm
ing. He named the committees, told
Hum what to do, selected the officers of
the convention, had himself appointed
state chairman, under suspension of
rules, and finally nominated the candi
dates he had personally chosen. Colonel
Wntres. who had professed to be making
on Independent campaign, retired before
the ballot, and the enthusiastic Klkln
bowed before the superior power of tho
great master of political Intrigue.
In the polities of no other state has the
one-man power developed to an extent
to compare with that exhibited in Penn
sylvania. In any other state we should
expect so arbitrary a dictatorship to
excite lesentmeut, and such a revolt as
that which Quay lias Just crushed to
leavo a dangerous discontent. But the
iirsclpllno of the party organization defies
nil attack, and tlm men who have tried
to assume the command of tho machlno
themselves will bn tlie most eager to re
establish their relations with the dicta
tor. Long before tho election, the ma
chine will again be running smoothly
throughout the statu under the senator's
peisonal direction, and Stone nml Klkln
and their associates will have resumed
their places among Its most devoted ud
berents. And tho great body of the
Republican party will accept Quay's or
ders n humbly ns did tho delegates at
Ilarrisburg.
I.lttlo regret can be felt for Klkln's
failure, except that his effort was madn
through n popular appeal that comimiinl
cd some sympathy. Otherwise, he rep
Hisented no principle that was dlstlti.
gulshable. from Quay's. The only cnudl
date who was professedly opposed to tlio
machine system mado so poor a showing
nt the last as to emphasize once iniil'o
tlio hopelessness of "reform within the
party Hues," Tho party, as represented
tu Its organization, lias no dislro to bu
if formed, and no uso for Independent
candidates.
Judijo Pennypncker, who Is Senator
Quay's personal choice for governor, and
was taken solely on his command, Is uu
excellent type of tlio sincere Pennsylva
nia Republicans who look upon Quay as
a mighty statesman and urn content with
anything Hint lin docs. He is tlio con
cession to tho respectable element, while
tho two Browns, who are associated on
tio ticket, represent the machine work
ers, wlio equally take their orders from
Quay, lint siro moro familiar wllh tlio
natiiro of Ids methods and with their
practical alms, It Is altogether a char
acteristic ticket uml entirely Illustrates
the triumphant power of tho great Penn
sylvania dictator,
Some Further Opinions.
From the Philadelphia Ledger,
Tho action nf the Republican stnto con
v ii t Ion ut Ilarrisburg demonstrates thu
singular facility with which Senator
Quay Is able o snatch victory from tlio
juws of defeat. Cool, resourceful, self
icliaiit, ho possesses a mastery of poli
tics rarely equaled III American history.
To attain success, ho commands every
lU-'cnry and employs uvery weapon that
stives the purpose. Attorney Ueucr.U
Klkliwweul down to defeat In Hie hour
when tiiuniph seemed about to crown
his efforts, and It Is clear that wtli all
Ida political skill he was over-conlldcnt
of the strength of his cause. For Ids
victory, Senator Quay la ehlolly indebted

nf Ills ntllce with dignity, prudr.neo .and
legnid for tlie public Interests. If Sena
tor Quny had determined upon Hie nomi
nation and election of a candidate that
he could control as a part of tlm ma
chine, Judge Peiinypnckrr would .notl
hnvo been Ills selection. Tho nomination '
of Judge Pennypackpr Is a distinct do
ference by tile miichlan lo the advocates
of good government.
From the I'hllndelphln Record.
The present governor of the tdnto Is
Quay's governor. To serve Quay lie has
ruined himself. The late legislature
elected Quay to the United States sen
ate, and to plense'Quny made Itself In
famous. And now, flinging aside the in
struments ho hns used to help himself
and to discredit nnd dishonor the com
monwealth, he seeks to kepp his disas
trous hold upon his party ond upon thp
management of public affairs by electing
another Quay legislature under the
screen of a decent gubernatorial candi
dacy. It Is n bold game. Cnn It win?
From the Townndn Reporter-Journal.
-The will of tho mnjorlty should , rule,
and tile nomination of Judge Penny
packer will be heartily received and en
dorsed by Republicans throughout the
state. The struggle for the nomination
has been a memorable one, nnd hns pre
sented some peculiar features and anom
alous conditions. Roth candidates are
men of Irreproachable character and nf
ninrkpd ability, and either one as the
parly's nominee would hnve Its hearty
support. Pennsylvania Republicans, as n
rule, hnvo had tlie good sense to settle
theli differences within the party. There
have been exceptions, but the law of
majority rule, on which rest the foun
dations of our government, has generally
been observed. It will be observed now,
and wo bespeak for Judge Pennypackfr
an overwhelming majority at Hie polls
this fall.
As to the choice of Bradford county,
there Is no doubt it was John 1. Klkln.
The delegates from this county were In
structed for lilm weeks ago, and the sen
timent In favor of bis nomination has
been growing stronger every day. Ho Is
a man of tho" people, and he made n
tight that surprised both his friends and
his enemies, and won lilm sincerest ad
mlrntlnn hi every county In. the state.
He went before tlie people with plain
words and fair statement, nnd asked
simply that there might be fair play; and
that tho will of tho majority might pre
vail. Ills has been one of the pluckiest
fights for a gubernatorial nomination
ever known in the state, nnd ns it pro
giesscd, it was made plain that John P.
Klkln wns a fair fighter and at the same
tlmo one of Hie most skillful political
oigar.lzers that Pennsylvania politics has
developed. All honor to him for his bril
liant struggle, and may better luck at
tend lilm next time.
Elkin to Pennypacker.
I have fought the best fight I know
how. but. you have won and I am now
a earnestly for your election as I
would have been for my own had I suc
ceeded in making the nomination.
