We abe alrt-ady far enough into 1900
to justify tLe deliberate conclusion that
this is going to be McKi&ley year.
Ut'Rixo the year 1!J0 the American
people will break the record by casting
more votes for the Republican ticket
than ever before.
For a Presidential year V.M opens
with scarcely a ripple cf excitement,
and as if nothing remained to be done
except to write "ditto" under 1SW.
XonoDY can tell what the Democratic
platform of lnOO will contain, but Colo
nel Bryan i- prepariog for it by learn
ing to do a bareback aclou a ttall fed
Texas ostrich.
War Department expenses are
per cent, lew than they were at this
time last yearrand the treasury surplus
for the last six months is over $21,000,
UX). Proptets who Raw financial ruin
in the Philippines policy are keeping
quiet.
t Genkkal Wood's new cabinet seems
to please nearly every element of the
Cuban people. All its members are
well-known Cubans, and all, it is con
ceded, are well qualified for the duties
of the Knts which they are to fill.
Great advantages to Cuba are expected
from General Wood's regime. TheGen
eral has already done much to popular
ize the American connection.
Isexator Hoar administered a se
vere rebuke to those meddlers and bu
gy bodies in Pennsylvania who are wri
ting letters to him asking him to vote
against the seating of Senator Qjay.
Senator Hoar says he has decided opiu
ious regarding the right of a Governor
13 till the cftt2e of Senator by appoint
ment, and he will not reverse himself
at the behest cf these assassins of char
acter. Furthermore, the Massachusetts
Senator likens these letter-writers to
ballot box etuflVr., which was a body
blow that must have made them wince.
Ex-CoxoRKfSMAX Byxcx hasshown
a good example to all the gold Demo
crats iu coming squarely over t. the
Republican party. The larger end of
the Democracy is determined to keep
the dishonest dollar ia politics until it
gets one more crushing defeat. . Silver
ism will be one of the planks of the
Democratic party Convention this year.
There can be no doubt oa this point
no. Nearly all the leading spirits in
that purty have said so. The place for
all honest money men -under these cir-cims'-ances
is in the Republican party.
The campaiga of l'JJd will finish the
silver madness, but the way to render
this certain is for all the opponents of
fiat lunacy to vote the It -publican
ticket.
THE Republican Stute Convention
has Ueu called to meet on April 2V.h.
Candidates will le nominated for Audi
tor General, two Congressmen at Large,
and two Presidential Kltctorsat Large.
The Convection wiil a!" elect fourdel
egates at lare to the National Conven
tion. The district elcrt;ral candidates
and delegates will be chosen by the dis
tricts. K-presentalion will be based on
the Presidential vote ia ls:i, which
will give Somerset two delegates. Ow
ing io the Stale Convention being call
ed for April i"ih, the primaries in this
county will have to le held prior to
that date. Under the party rules not
lest than P.0 days' uoliceof the change
of date in holding the primaries uiut
be given.
Eeyoxo the tact that the Senate Com
mittee on Elections has decided to re
port against the admission of Senator
Qiay to the Senate on the strength of
his appointment by Governor Stone,
th?re is very little consolation in the
Senatorship situation for the anti-Quay
people who have been trying to drag
him down. Of the nine niemVrs of
the Committee on Elections five are
It -publicans and four are Democrats,
and it is worth noting that the four
D -mrtcraki are against Q lay and but
one Republican, liurroivs, is against
him with the four Democrats. It is
well known that Senator Barrows
w ul J under no circumstances vote for
the seating of Senator Q lay, says the
Hirrisburg Telegraph, f r the reason
that in three contests for Speaker of the
House, when Burrows was a member
of that body, the weight of the Penn
sylvania infijenoe was always thrown
against Burrows, and another candidate
reseived the Pennsylvania votes. As a
in itter of course Burrows blamed the
Pennsylvania leaders, especially Quay,
for not receiving any support from this
8:ate, aud at the very first opportunity
he is taking his revenge. The Senate,
however, will be above such petty jeal
ousies, and it is slid will re-fuse to ac
cept the report a prvptred by Bjrrows
against the sealing of Q-iay. Senator
Hoar, the grand old statesman from
Massachusetts, will prepare the minor
ity report arguing that Senator Quay
ftuould be seated, and lie will present
the matter in such a shape that the Sen
ate can not get away from endorsing
Governor Stone's appointment of Col
onel Quay. Mr. Burrows may have
reason to regret that he permitted his
private resentment to run away with
his judgment.
The cause cf anti-maehiue reform
his sustained a sore loss in Vrz with
drawal from its ranks of oue of its most
ardent champions, Hon. Abraham L.
Allen, a member of the legislature
from Philadelphia, says the Honesdale
Citizen. Mr. Allen has conducted his
campaigns against the tiischine ou the
most approved lines, aud, ia part, on
those followed by John Wanamaker.
F r a long time he was a pillar mem
ber of the Gethnemane Baptist Church,
and for several years prior to last spring
was Superintendent of its Suuday
school. He contributed h:rliy to
the cause of missions aud to Church
work generally. According to one of
the Philadelphia papers, he was also a
romber of the Ep worth League. In
1W2 he entered politics as an active
member of the "Voung Repubiicau"
pirty, and clamored for Iirfor ji. ff'wn

liOJi the force .f active JU-inicLie
workers appears to have been, in some
sense, id voluntary, and due to a fail
ure of memory. First, he forgot to pay
over the taxes he had collected. TheD,
finding that the machine was making
malicious and impertinent Inquiries on
the subject, he borrowed 1 4,000 l.-om a
friend, for the purpose, as he described
ir. of "netting out of a h'.le" iuto
which he had dropped, through inad
vertently confusing the public money
with his own. Next, he forgot to use
the borrowed money for this purpose,
but unobtrusively left the city with it.
Finally, be forgot to come back, and
for the last fortnight all Inquiry as to
his whereabouts has been fruitless.
Meantime a warrant has been Issued
for bis arrest, and Moyamensing pris
on is Yawning for him. The collector
cf delinquent taxes has lecme a de
linquent tax collector, with a shortage
of about ?12,000. Reform, however, of
the Martin nd Wanamaker brand, is
not likely to suffer through Mr. Allen's
retirement. There are others of the
same stamp to fill the vacant place in
the Reform ranks.
A B. t 0. Official Wonsdtd by a Clerk.
Cvmbkrlasd, MtL, Jan. 5. John M.
Re&ley, aged 55. a yard-clerk for the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad, this morning
ahot Charles Y. Galloway, Assistant Su
perintendent of the middle division,
twice, while Galloway was seated in bia
office. One bullet flattened on the breast
bone, and the other struck the elbow.
The abooting was the result of Gallo
way's having sent for Resley to account
for some cars, R. T. Brann, of Milwau
kee, a car-tracer, being in the office at
the time. Renley, who always claimed
that Gklioway never gave him a fair show
after his ofliie of time clerk bad been
abolished, became angry, and, it is alleg
ed, struck Galloway on the face, at the
same time uttingabusivelanguage. Braun
tried to catch Resley by (he arms, but he
broke away. Galloway, after two shots
had been fired, threw oat both bands and
exclaimed: "You have shot me twice I
have nothing."
Resley then walked to the court house
and gave himself up, after retaining for
his defense Congressman G. A. Pearre,
who was there trying a case. Resley'a
plea will be Reif defense. While he re
fuses to talk, his friends say he shot only
after Galloway made a move to get bis
revolver from a drawer in bis desk, where
Resley knew he kept iL Galloway says
h bud a revolver in the drawer, but It
wa in a case and could not be nd im
mediately. .
Resley is a large man and an expert re
volver shot. In October, 1S73, he shot and
killed Lloyd Clary, editor of the"Mount
ain City Times," Democratic, of Cumber
land, as the result of an editorial which
Resley said reflected on the honesty of
his father. Col. Horace Resley, leader of a
Democratic faction on which Clary was
making war. The trial almost impover
ished Resley's father, who was then a
rich man. He was acquitted on the
ground ot self-defense.
Over 100 people called on Resley at the
jail this afternoon. He is veiy popular
with the railroad men. The Grand Jury
will take up the case to-morrow. Gallo
way was formerly private Secretary to
Geqeral Superintendent Fitzgerald, at
Baltimore, and he came here a year ago.
KcKiniey'i Philippine Policy.
Washington, D. C Jan. 4 Senator
Beveridge, of Indiana, arter talking with
the President this morning, went up to
tbe Senate and immediately offered the
following, which may become historic by
being adopted as the Senate declaration
of the Administration policy:
"Resolved, That the Philippine Islands
are territory belonging to the Cnind
Slates: that it is the intention of the
United Stales to retain them as such, and
to establish and mainlMin such govern
mental control throughout tbe archipel
ago as the situation may demand."
Senator Beveridge gave notice that he
would speak upon the resolution next
Tuesday, when he will give the results of
his observations during his visit to the
Philippines, China aud Japan, which he
has hitherto kept from the public. He
feels that his special information war
rants the innovation of such an early and
prominent appearance for a new and
young Senator.
Great Compliment Fail the German Ptan
fyWania Agriculturists.
Wasiiisoton, D. C, January 5. John
F. Crowell, of Brooklyn, a writer on eoo
nomis subjects, was before the Industrial
Commission to-day. His views upon tbe
general conditions of agriculture in tbe
United States were given at some length.
He said that better results had been ob
tained iu agricultural colonies that had
been founded in the United States than
where individual farming bad prevailed.
and mentioned tbe German agricultural
com inanities of Pennsylvania and tbe
Norwegian communities of Minnesota
as an evidence of tuis fact.
BE-iT KARMKKS IX TUIS COUNTRY.
Speaking of agricultural conditions in
Pennsylvania, he said he considered thai
the German farmers of that State were
the best agriculturists in tbe United
States and that they always prosper.
while farmers in other sections fail, be
cause they attend to business and devote
their surplus cipital to ths education
of their childreu and to tbe bette'uient
of their farms, and do not wast 9 money
on luxuries, although they live well.
Hs said the school facilities of the r oral
districts of Pennsylvania are insufficient.

England'! Sew and Kighty Preparation
for War.
Los no x, Jan. 8. The British public ia
at last face to face with a critical moment
in the campaign. It may safely be aaid
that at no previous time have there been
sen anxious hour of suspense as will
be passed through until tbe arrival of
further news regarding the fate of Lady
smith. Tbe week opens with only fresh addi
tions to tbe disasters tbat have befallen
British arms, and there is no longer any
sustaining confidence to buoy. np public
opinion. The editorials this morning
fully reflect the extreme gravity ofthe
situation with a painful undercurrent of
omiuona foreboding, mainly caused by
tbe fact that, while the Boers have now
changed their tactics aud assumed the
offensive. Gen. Buller is apparently una
ble to do more to assist Gen. White than
in making a demonstration. The morn
ing Post aaye :
"He might as well have ordered a dis
play of fireworks."
Londox, Jan. 9. General White still
holds out, or did soft) hoors ago, bo
tbe Boers, ousted from their foothold in
side tbe works, suspended their assault
at oighfall. England has taken heart.
The situation, however, is worse. The
beleagu red force must "have expended a
Urge amount of ammunition, which can
not be replenished, and must have loet
a number of officers and men,' which ia
counterbalanced, so far as the garrison
is concerned, by tbe greater loss of tbe
Boers.
General White still needs relief, and
the difficulties confronting Gen. Buller
are as great as bofore. The former's un
adorned sentences, as read and re-read,
suggest eloquently the peril in which tbe
town was for 14 hours, and bow barely
able his 9,000 men wore to keep from
being overpowered.
Tbe chief coucern for General White is
In respect of ammunition.
Tbe intrenchments at Ladysmitb, as
described in a message that left a day or
two before tbe fight, are fortified hills,
well covered with rifle pits and trenches,
down which tbe infantry move in single
file to the various post in absolute safety.
England is preparing fresh armaments,
and 22 transports will be on tbe way to
South Africa during the present month.
According to the program, 23,000 addi
tional troops and 71 guns will soon be
afloat.

barm. He refused this, hewever, say it: g
that be would not dare to comply.
"We hal seen some savages around us
and were prepared to fight tbeiu with
cobblestones, tbe only weapons we could
find. The next morning we built raft.
in tbe hope of floating down tbe river,
It was a forlorn hope, but I knew that tbe
river must empty into tbe sea somewhere.
I was so weak myself that I did not ex
pect to get out, but I thought some of tbe
men could. While we were working on
the rafts the Americans came towards us
yelling." Lieutenant Gilmore could not
speak enthusiastically enough of tbe 140
picked men who had rescued him and bia
party. Continuing tbe Lieutenant said
that he did not have a full meal for sever
al weeks, and on one occasion he was re
duced to chewing grass. "We would have
starved but for tbe kindness of some of
the residents of the towns where we were
kept prisoners, but others treated us bru
tally."
For weeks Gil more was covered with
boils and was in great pain. When tbe
Filipinos found the Americans were ap
proaching, tbeir treatmeqt of tbe prison
ers became better.

QUAY'S SUPPORTERS
SWEEP PRIMARIES
A Complete Triumph at ths Phila
delphia Republican Elections.
ARE IN ABSOLUTE CONTROL.
Captar City Committee ad Com
rlls a-d Prctlrally olld
Delec-tlo.a to the nepwbtlca
State ! Xotlonal Co vrwtlona.
fEpeclal Correspondence.)
Philadelphia. Jan. 9.-The friecds of
senator Quay scored a signal victory at
the Republican primaries held here to
day. Thev practically swept the town,
and ore now In absolute control of the
party organization and of city countila.
and they will probably have every one
cf the delegate to the Republican na
tional convention from this city and all
the delegates to the Republican state
convention except those from two, and
possibly only one, of the 27 legislative
districts.
The Martln-Wanamaker Insurgent
combination cuts a sorry figure as the
returns are read from the various
wards and districts. This outfit has
been repudiated by the Republican
voters who went to the polls and cast
their ballots In favor of the men who
believe In standing bv the Republican
organization and abiding by the will of
the majority, and who are opposed to
alliances of any kind with the Democ
racy, either in the state legislature or
at the polls on election day.
This has been a great day for the
straightout . Republicans.
It has been a Waterloo for the Insur
gents. While a victory for the stalwarts
was anticipated, it was hardly believed
that their triumph would be over
whelming. The returns were received at the
Republican city campaign committer
rooms, their new headquarters, corner
of Eleventh and Chestnut streets, and
as ward after ward sent in reports
showing the sentiment of the people
against the guerrilla political warfare
that has been carried on by Martin and
Wanamaker In this city and Flinn and
their other allies in different section
of the state the Joy of the stalwarts
was beyond restraining.
The insurgents pot a severe setback
a few days before the primaries in the
announcement that former chairman
of the, Republican city committee, ex
State Senator Charles A. Porter, had
come out srjuarely in favor of Colonel
Quay, and had declared his purpose to
co-orerate with the friends of th
regular Republican organization iu
both the city and the sta'e. When it
is recalleu that Senator Porter was a
full political partner of David Martin
In what was known as the Martin-Porter
combine, r.nd shared with Martin
an equal responsibility in the man
agement of the organization which
brought about the election of Warwick
as mayor when Penrose was over
thrown at the last hour, the si;;n!.1
cance of this de.rtion from the insur
gent cause can be better apprcia'.cd.
This has left Martin with little more
than the Wanamaker bargain counter
advertising contro!led-newspaper3. tne
Wanamaker contributions to the In
surgent campaign 'fund, and the ra
tronage In the tax odlce, over which
Martin's brother-in-law, ' Mr. Uonev,
still officiates, as he is scrvins cut hla
last term.
Against (his remnant of a once pow
erful combine were arrayed at the pri
maries all the personal friends aid po
litical supporters of PeTtatnr Quay, led
by former Senator Israel W. Durham,
the veteran David II. Lane, who has
the backing of the friends of Mayor
Ashbridge. and many ward leaders who
formerly followed Martin, but who,
recognizing the rbenge of public senti
ment and the revolution which has
been wrought recently In local and
state politics, are now lined up with
the regular Republican organization ia
both slate and i ity.
From the standpoint of practical pol
itics, the capture of the Republican
city campaign committee by the
friends of Colonel Quay Is the most sig
nificant outcome of today's primaries.
This has been Martin's stronghold for
several years. Through control of tbis
committee he has managed to overturn
and reorganize wards and districts
which, upon a poular vote, would be
overwhelmingly against his lieutenants
residing therein. Of course, this made
no difference, for no matter what the
returns of the primaries were, the Mar
tin men would be seated in the city
committee, and their delegates to city
and state conventions wou!d be recog
nized and the others would be p.it
upon the "sliding board," as the Mar
tin heelers designated the bouncing
apparatus cf the combine machine.
Cut things will be different hence
forth. Heretofore a Martin man. as
treasurer of the Republican city com
mittee, received all the campai:m con
tributions of the thousands of office
holders employed in the various city
departments, and these monies were
distributed through Martin men in the
various election precincts of the city.
This gave an immense leverage to the
Martin machir.g at the primary elec
tions, es well as at the general elec
tions. QUAY KAN FOR TREASUK.2S.
The treasurer of the new city com
mittee is to be Colonel Thomas J.
Powers, who was appointed by Gov
ernor Stone to be banking commission
er cf Penr.s ,'vania. Colonel Powers
has eo-epcra'sid politically with the
friond3 of Colonel Quay for the last
15 years. He was appointed naval of
ficer of thi3 pert through Colonel
Quay's Influence during the Harrison
administration.
Friends cf Colonel Quay will be
elected to too Republican city commit
tee from all but about half a dozen of
the tl wards in this city.
Next to the capture of the Republi
can city committee the most important
result cf the primaries, from a local
point of viaw. is the eiertion of mem
bers of both branches of councils, who
will co-cperate with the Ashbridge ad
ministration for the balance of the
term of the present mayor. Hereto
fore councils were dominated by tha
Martin-Potter combine, but now Mar
tin Is no longer a factor. The control
of councils was Martin's stronghold
with the corporations, and he had al
most unlimited supplies of transporta
tion for his friends and supporters.
Republicans in the interior of the
state will, however, be most interest
ed in the complexion of the Philadel
phia delegation to the Republican na
tional and state conventions.
THE NATIONAL DELEGAT2S.
Philadelphia, with five congressional
districts, will have ten district dele
gates in the Republican national con
vention, and not ona of these will be
inimical to Colonel Quay's leadership.
All but one are pronounced supporters
of the Beaver statesman, and that one.
who hails frcm David Martin's ward.
Is a leading manufacturer, who has not
been identified with either faction,
and it Is quite probable that he will be
found co-operating with the friends of
the regular organization ia the elec
tion of the member of the Republican
national committee and in other mat
ters which the delegation to the na
tional convention will have to consider
and dispose of when they meet here
In June next.
All the conventions will meet to
morrow, and there will be no opposi
tion to the election of the following
as delegates to the Republican national
convention.
First congressional district. Israel W.
Durham and General Henry II. Bing-
nam; becond district. United States
Senator Boies Penrose and David II.
Lane; Third district. Joseph H. Klern
;ner, who holds the position of har
bor master under the Stone adminis
tration, and Select Councilman James
B. Anderson, who has for years been
an intimate friend of Colonel Quay;
Fourth district. A. S. L. Shields, who
Is Colonel Quay's counsel, and Charles
F. Kindred, whoso two members of the
legislature voted for Quay until the
end cf the senatorial contest; Fifth
district, Isaac Schlicter. who was
named at the Instance of Colonel Pow
ers, and John II. Bromley, the big
manufacturer, from Martin's ward.
It will thus be seen that the Beaver !
rtatenman has no ocasion to complain
of the outcome of the election of dis-
