. Harrlsburg, May 30. Colonel Jnmes
Madison Guffey, the accredited head of
the Democratic party in Pennsylvania,
gave a terrible shock last week to his
political allies, the Flinn-Martln Re
publican Insurgents. Guffey engineered
. the deals between the Democratic
members of the legislature and the in
surgents in the recent house of rep
resentatives by which they blocked the
various projects advocated by the Re
publican governor to raise revenue to
meet the current obligations of the
state. It was due to the success of
these alliances between the Democrats
and the insurgents that Governor
Stone found that the appropriations of
the recent legislature far exceeded
the amount of money available for the
same, and that he was, therefore, oblig
ed to veto bills right and left and
to cut the general school appropriation
1500,000 annually for the next two
years. The men who were responsible
for this condition of affairs have been
the most blatant in condemning the
governor for his action, necessitated by
their high handed course in the legis
lature. There is no doubt that some
of the insurgent leaders, recognizing
that they will cut no figure at tho
coming Republican state convention,
have been planning for a continuance
of their alliance with the Guffey Demo
crats In the hope of defeating the reg
ular Republican nominee for state
treasurer, no matter who he may be.
GUFFEY FOLLOWS BRYAN.
But Guffey has given this project a
rude shattering. He has been obliged
to take a stand between the two fac
tions in his own party. On the on9
side are the conservative Democrats,
who believe in a sound currency, but
who have been read out of their party
organization, while on the other hand
are the rampant silvertites and cham
pions of Bryan. Guffey concluded to
train with the Bryanites, and was one
of the most conspicuous figures at the
great Bryan demonstration at St. Louis
a few days ago. Tho Republican in
surgents have been greatly distressed
ever since. They did not want Guffey
to Join with this radical wing of his
party, as they know he has thus made
It difficult for them to co-operate with
him and have any following among
self respecting Republicans. They de
clare that his action has practically
tied their hands, and that it will pro
vent them from giving encouragement
to a movement to help Guffey's candi
date for state treasurer.
Not only ha3 Guffey raised the flag
of Bryanism, but one of his chief lieu
tenants, Former State Chairman Gar
man, has publicly declared that no
one who did not support Bryan fen
president can hope to get a nomination
for any office which there is a chance
of winning at the coming Democratic
state convention. All this means that
Bryanism is to be put to the front by
tho Democracy of Pennsylvania in the
coming canvass, which will be tho
skirmish of the great presidential cam
paign of next year. Tho Republican3.
under the leadership of Quay and Pen
rose, and raised the triumphant ban
ner of McKlnloy, and arc ready to meet
any combination of Bryan Democrats
and Republican irsurgents that may be
formed in the Keystone state this fall.
STALWARTS CONTINUE TO WIN.
The Republican stalwarts continue to
win victories! at the primary election?.
The McKean county Republican con
vention on Tuesday Inst resulted in a
rousing victory for this friends of Colo
nel Quay. At the eleventh hour tho
insurgents made a fight against tho
regulars, for county chairman, but the
regulars blocked tLe game and cap
tured the chairmanship, after exciting
scenes.
The resolutions specifically commend
the action of Senator Merrick and Rep
resentative;; Dcmpsey and Richmond,
members of tho legislature from thla
district, who are included in "the stal
wart ninety-six," who went Into the
Republican caucus and voted until tho
end of the session for Colonel Quay
for United States senator.
These are the resolutions adopted br
the convention:
"Resolved, By the Republicans of
McKean county, through the county
convention here assembled, that we af
firm the principles laid down by th-
last Republican national convention;
that we most heartily indorse the ad
ministration of President McKinley,
and congratulate the people that
through his wise administration pros
perity has come to the whole nation,
and the standing of Americans is high
er today among tho nations of the
world than ever before; that we In
dorse the state administration of Gov
ernor William A. Stone as being wise
and patriotic. We approve the action
of our representatives in the legisla
ture, Senator W. T. Merrick, R A
Dempsey and Thomas F. Richmond." '
The convention indorsed Judge Mor
rison for the supreme bench.
CUMBERLAND IS SOLID.
The Cumberland county Republican
convention, held the same day, proved
to be a walkover for the stalwarts.
Chairman Rupley made a few remarks,
In which he said be believed the mi
nority of the convention would vote
with the party in November. The
party has been victorious in tho past
and would be in the future. We have
ft Republican governor and a Republi
can president. Back of McKinley was

They are all stalwart Republicans.
ELKIN IS DELIGHTED.
Chairman John P. Elkin, of the Re
publican state committee, seems to be
delighted with the news that comes to
him from the several counties.
"The Republicans of Pennsylvania,"
remarked the state chairman, "seem
to be thoroughly acquainted with the
political situation, and they propose to
sustain the party organization and the
men who have stood for the principles
of the party, rather than the selfish
Interests of a few men with political
ambitions. The Republican state con
vention will give expression to the
will of the Republicans of Pennsyl
vania without dictation or Interfer
ence from any one. The reports that
this man or that man has been slated
for this or that office are absolutely
without foundation of fact. These stor
ies are on a par with the reports that
were sent out affecting the actions of
members of tho legislature who de
clined to be Influenced or intimidated
by certain interests. There is a free-for-all
contest for the several nomina
tions to be made by the Republican
state convention, and the nominees
of that body will bo triumphantly
elected."

The Republican State Convention
Will Declare For the Pres
ident's Renominaticn.
Tho DIstlniiuNlied Young Pennsylva
n tan Tells Why the President litis
Won the Confidence nnd Admira
tion of the People.
(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, May 30. Pennsylvania
Is likely to he the first state In the
Vilion to declare through the Republi
can organization In favor of the re;
nomination of President McKinley. At
the coming state convention Senator
Penrose will advocate a plauk In tho
platforw which will not only com
mend the administration of President
McKinley, but declare In emphatic
language in favor of his renomination
nnd re-election to the presidency. This
program has the hearty approval of
Colonel Quay, who will himself be a
delegate to the Republican stnte con
vention, nnd who has already been
suggested for the chairmanship of tho
committee on resolutions of that body.
Tho Beaver statesman, during hismany
years of succe-tsful leadership of tho
Republican party in the Keystono
state, has had a band in the drafting
of many of the platforms upon which
tho party's candidates have been tri
umphantly elected.
Senator Penrose la proud of the fact
that early In 1S95 he publicly announc
ed his preference for Major McKinley
for the presidential nomination, and
that on several occasions the president
has, In the course? of conversations,
referred to this circumstance.
"I am unquestionably In favor of
President McKinley's renomination,"
was the prompt and emphatic response
which Senator Penrose gave when ask
ed if he cared to discuss the national
political outlook. "President McKin
ley," continued the senr.tor, "saved the
country from the industrial depression
and commercial uncertainty brought
on by tho free trade administration of
Cleveland, and rescued our people
from the dreadful apprehensions of
disaster nnd revolution Involved in the
candidacy of Bryan. The results ob
tained by his election have been be
yond the most sanguine expectations.
The country a short time after his in
auguration and following the passage
of the Dingley bill at the e::tra session
of congress, so promptly and wisely
called by him, entered upon a period
of unexampled prosperity. In fact,
never in the history of the world has
such an exhibition of industrial nnd
commercial development been witness
ed. Ths money question, while not
Seftnitely settled, haa ceased to be a
tisturbing factor as long as a Republi
can president Is In office and Repiibll
an majorities In the hcuc and senate
are assured to uphold the pledge In
the Republican national platform for
a sound currency. The q-iMtion will
be taken up at the approaching session
of congress, and will be disposed of
satisfactorily.
M'KIXLEY'S GREAT WAR RECORD.
"Tho unexpected event In the admin
istration Rnd one of the greatest events
In our history was the war with
Spain," continued Senator Penrose, as
he took up the stirring pcricd of the
McKinley administration. "I'pon this
occasion tho grcatner.s of President Mc
Kinley showed itself. lie recognized
early that the moral ceptiment of the
people were shocked beyond endurance
by the cruelties nnd barbarities of tho
Spanish government. The greatness
of the president was shown In the fact
that at this critical juncture he made
every possible effort to avoid a war.
He exhausted every method to counsel
moderation among his own country
men and to secure peaceful rDsults by
diplomatic negotiations. To the young,
patriotic military spirit In the nation
the condition of nffairs had become in
tolerable, and war wns forced upon
the country. The splendid confidence
felt at the time in the wisdom and in
tegrity of McKinley was shown by
the prompt and unanimous passage by
congress of the first loan required by
the war. In a few moments, without
debate and without restriction, the
enormous sum of $50,000,000 was placed
at the disposal of the presitlent, and
during the war both parties in con
gress at all tlme3, by their vigorous
support of the administration, gave evi
dence cf their confidence in the presi
dent's high patriotic purpose.
"During the active operations of the
war the president kept In close touch
with all the military and naval ma
neuvers. No one who did not come in
contact with the president Rt the timo
ran appreciate tho enormous responsi
bilities nnd burdens imposed upon him
at this period. All through the day
and often up until long after midnight
the president endured an enormous
physical strain, and wit'i untiring In
dustry nnd wise nagacity successful
ly met the serious problems which
continually confronted him.
QUESTION OF NEW TERRITORY.
"At the conclusion of the war the
United States was obliged to face a
serious problem of outlying territories,
which were not wanted and were un
expectedly acquired. In dealing with
this serious question the president
again exhibited his clear political In
sight and his broad American patriot
ism. Cuba is temporarily under an
American military protectorate until
such time as order can be restored and
a Cuban govern mep.t established. In
Porto Rico there were few difficulties,
as the Island I became part of the Uni
ted States with the full acquiescence
of its inhabitants. The treatment of
tho Philippine islands involved more
serious iiwU,nn. I cannot now go into
detailH to show how the United States
had but one duty before it, and that
was to retain possession of these isl
ands under the terms of the Paris
treaty. The reasons were satisfactory
to the commission, coninosed of repre-
DeWitt's Little Early Risers act as a
faultless pill should, cleansing and re
viving the system instead of weakening
it. They are mild ami sure, small and
pleasant to take, and entirely free from
objectional druns. They assist rather
than compel. Heath A Killmer.

The president has taken the ground
that by the time the present con
gress convenes matters will have set
tled down, and the way of making a
fair adjustment of many difficulties
will begin to be Indicated. The presi
dent will send in his message and con
gress have to provide for the local
government of our newly acquired ter
ritories. Tho question is not involved
in any more difficulties than were suc
cessfully disposed of in the settlement
of issues bearing upon the regulation
of previously acquired territory. In tho
solution of these complicated and grave
questions the experience and knowl
edge of the president and the confi
dence which he Inspires in tho coun
try, regardless of party, will be an Im
portant if not a dominant factor lu
congressional legislation.
M'KINLEY'S STRONG QUALITIES.
"President McKinley has bad a long
nnd remarkable experience In public
affairs. His familiarity with the tariff
and the commercial conditions of the
country and the recent questions of in
ternational character give him an
equipment unsurpassed by any other
American. He possesses an executive
capacity of a high order and tact and
acumen, as the result of long practical
political training. The best evidence
of these qualities Is shown by the fact
that, unlike many other presidents,
he has his party unanimously at his
back, undivided by serious dissension
and retaining its . supremacy in the
country when most administrations
have found their party in the minority
in the middle of a presidential term,
at least in the house of representatives.
"In Pennsylvania McKinley has a
deep rooted streugth with the mass of
the people. That strengtu has been
steadily increasing. Everything"polnt9
to a hard struggle and an ultimate Re
publican victory in the next presi
dential campaign. There can be but
one Republican candidate considered,
and that Is McKiuley. His candidacy
will be the logical consequence of the
wonderful prosperity nlreany acquired
and the glorious possibilities within
our reach. The country will need his
tried statesmanship in meeting tho
great issues of the future. With Mc
Kinley re-elected and a Republican
majority In congress our people can be
assured of the realization of the splen
did career opening before us.
"I have been in contact with repre
sentative Republicans from every sec
tion of our state, and have found but
one sentiment, and that Is in favor of
the renomination of the president. I
hope to be a delegate to the coming
Republican state convention, and I
shall earnestly support a plank In tho
platform which will not only give ex
pression to the unanimous views of
the Republicans of Pennsylvania, In
dorsing the course of the administra
tion, but which declares emphatically
in favor of President McKinley's re
nomination. As a matter of fact, I
have no doubt that the delegates to tha
next Republican national convontion
from this state will be earnestly nnd
unanimously in favor of his renominating"

that sugar promotes assimilation of tho

"Tho most difficult road to construct
and, I believe, tho most expensive wagot
road In tho I'liltcd States is that connect
ing tho mining towns of Sllvorton and
Ouray, in tho San Juan mining district ol
my state," said Mr. J. L. McNeil, a prom
inent Denver railway and mining man, at
the Cochran last night. "Ono piece ol
this road iseut Into the side of a mountain
of solid rock for n distanoo of seven miles,
and to construct it four years of hard work
wore consumed. To begin with, there
was absolutely no foothold from which a
start could be made, but tho only pract leal
way of getting a road was by cutting
through mountains. Tho point selected
for the start was ftOO or 000 foet below tho
top of the stono cliff, and men woro let
down In baskets suspended by ropes, and
from such shaky stations they drilled holes
In tho rock and filled them with charges
of powder. After moro than a month ol
blasting a ledge was cut Into tho rock
largo enough for the men to work on, and
a splendid road, 10 feet In width, was
constructed along this precipitous ledge.
"The bed Is solid rock and Is used most
ly by wagon trains and pack nnlnials, car
rying ores and supplies to anil from the
mining camps in the mountains. For a
distance of more Mian 500 feet straight up
Is n wall of solid rock, and over tho edge
is a precipitous fall of several thousand
feet, s that it Is necessary for the owner
to haven steady footing whilo traveling

lated by tho state, have never boon suffi
cient M pay the owner 1 per cent on hit

offered Sl.Vont) for tho road, which was
declined, and another offer has just been
m.-uhi for it, which tho owner will prob
ably accept. This strange road Is the only
means .f cnmuiuiihaliou between Silver

of another being built, as tho only avail

She remained equally attractive to he!
last hour, although in her youth she hoc
been one of the prettiest women of hei
time. Her daughter, Mine, do Iilocqno

and elegance.
Cromwell nnd Kim In nil's nv.
Under Cromwell England for the first
tinio felt tho pov,.rof a strong navy tc.
build up a great, nation, says Samuel
Harden Church In Tho Atlantic. It 1?
true that Queen Elizabeth had repelled
nnd destroyed tho SpuiiMt lleet, but she
assembled her ships only to resist inva
sion, and her Important maneuvers were
on tho defensive. Croinwrll built the first
fleet that Kiirrhind had yet seen created foi
tho purpose of crushing her enemies and
striking down tho oppressors of free reli
gion. Spain, still aiming tit universal empire,
received her first staggering blow when
Cromwell, daring t) throw away the tra
ditional policy which England had hugged
for four centuries, allied himself with
France and matin war on Spain. His ene
mies said then and for long afterward that
ho destroyed tho balance of power In Eu
roie. But. Cromwell cared nothing fot
political! maxims when they stood in tin
pathway of that human liberty of whirl
ho was the champion, nullum! sent on
her licet s, more terrible than tho old Spaa
lsh armnda, but Cromwell's generals, net
lug on sealed orders penned by his own
hand, lxyit the Dutch admirals and sent
their bhips'to the bottom.

A station master who had been taking

Many old soldiers now feel the effects
of tho hard service they endured during
tho war. Mr. Geo. N. Anderson, of Koss
villo, York county, Ponn., who saw the
hardest kind of service at the front, is
now frequently troubled with rheuma
tism. "I had a severe attack lately, "he
says, "nnd procured a bottle of Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. It did so much good
that I would like to know what you
would charge me for ono dozen bottles.
Mr. Anderson wanted it for his own use
and to suply it to his friends and neigh
bors, .as every family should have a bot
tle of it in their home, not only for rheu
matism, but lame back, sprains, swell
ings', cuts, bruises and burns, for which
it is unequalcd. For salo by nil drug
