,J I. BRYANITES DEFIANT COLD MEN SULK Pennsylvania's Democracy Is In Certainly a Very Bad Way. WILL POLL A SMALL VOTE. The SHrer Knight's Domination of the Democratic National Committee Makes His Followers in the Keystone State Rejoiee. (Special I'orrrspondence.) Harrlsburg, July 2.. Pennsylvania Democrats wore deeply interested in the outcome of the meeting of the Democratic national committee at Chl raKO last week. Having been the first state to lead off with a boom for Bryan for president next year and the nomi nation of a complete free silver ticket on a free silver platform, the Keystone state IVmocracy was anxious to be sustained at Chicago. Although there were two fr.rces at work at the sessions of the national committee, both of these were in sympathy with Bryan and the platform of 1S96. One element comprised what may for comparison's sake be called the conservative wing, and it dominated the committee. The other element represented the extrem ists, who demand an immediate decla ration for the free coinage of silver nnd the expulsion from the party of all organizations and individuals who will not loudly profess their devotion for this program. Bryan does not propose to forsake free silver, although the free silver issue is alive only to the extent that Bryan and his friends continue to agitate. The country settled the question for once and all In 1S9G, and free coinage of silver has been definite ly repudiated by the American people. It is the weakest card the Democrats can play, so weak that it makes certain the loss of the game. Vet Bryan clings to this personal issue. The proceedings at Chicago are a finger board to the next national con vention. It is obvious that liryan is the choice of the Democratic party for president. Croker has a stalking horse in Judge Van Wyck, and Gorman has some senatorial advocates, while Cali fornia suggests ex-Senator White. But Bryan is without a serious rival. He is the embodiment of the Chicago plat form and the logical candidate if that platform shall be affirmed. Sound money Democrats who have hoped for the return of the party to reason will be disappointed, but their hopes have rested n thin air. Throughout the state of Pennsylva nia the followers of the regular Demo cratic organization are jubilant. They proclaim that the sentiment as ex pressed at the national committee meeting was a complete indorsement of Bryan and meant thnt he would have no trouble in obtaining the presidential nomination in UMO, On the other hand, the result of the meeting seemed to have rather a depressing effect on the gold Democrats. They were not In clined to say anything at all. but the few who would consent to talk freely admitted that it looked as if Bryau would have everything his own way. Chairman Donnelly, of the Demo cratic city committee, of Philadelphia, was among those who promptly took occasion to express their pleasure at the news from Chicago. From begin ning to end, he declared, the meeting was in thorough accord with the wishes of Bryan, and everything that was done was favorable to his welfare. There is' nothing, as far as can bo seen now, to prevent Bryan obtaining the nomination next year, and Phila delphia, Chairman Donnelly predicted, would send a solid delegation for him. PENNSYLVANIA FOR BRYAN. Former Congressman James Kerr, of Clearfield county, leaves no doubt of sentiments of the Democarcy of the interior of the state. "A majority of the delegates from Pennsylvania to the Democratic na tional convention." says Mr. Kerr, "will be favorable to the Bryan or ganization, and will favor permitting the platform of 10nn to be written by the friends of the 1SDG platform. There will be some Eold men in the dele gation, but if the unit rule is enforced, as usual, the delegation will vote for Bryan and let the Bryan people writa the platform. Democrats who are tru. to the party do not feel that the next platform should bo written by those who refused to support the party on the ISflfi platform. A majority of the Pennsylvania delegation will favor the platform loine written by those who wrote it In '0(5. and will trust to them to adapt It to the present conditions." CREASY WILL SCFFER. The enthusiasm of the Bryanites has had a depressing effect upon the sound money Democrats throughout the state. They are taking absolutely no Interest in the De nocratic state ticket. Many of them will not vote at the com ing state election, while others will cast their ballots for the Republican nominees. The sound money Demo crats argue that if the present Bryan ite organization of the party in this state should poll a latge vote for their state ticket it would be fairly taken as an indorsement from the Democratic voters of their radical stand on the sil ver question and all that Bryanlsm ana the Chicago platform imDiieg.

Either of them would make a most acceptable nominee for state treasurer." There were three Interesting contests at primary elections on Saturday last. In two of these friends of Colonel Quay scored unexpected victories. In York and Lycoming counties the local organizations have generally been against the friends of the Beaver statesman, but a strong sentiment has developed in each of these counties rgainst the party wreckers, which was made quite manifest at the delegate elections. In Centre county former Governor Hastings made a personal canvass in( the Interest of two candidates for dele gates to the state convention. There was no Quay or anti-Quay Issue, but the fight developed into Vpersonal con test between Hastings an the support ers of Judge Iive. Hastings won out, though not until he had gone through one of the most expensive campaigns In his political career. There are but a few more counties outside of Philadelphia that have state delegates to elect, and when the list shall be completed It will be found that fully two-thirds of the delegates in the state convention will be friend ly to the leadership of Colonel Quay, and will insist upon the strongest kind of indorsements of the national and state administrations. Chairman John P. Elkin, of the Re publican state committee, says there are no contesting delegations on rec ord, and he does not anticipate any. The chairman is evidently pleased with the harmony that Is prevailing in the party organization. He predicts that there will be a remarkably enthusias tic gathering here next month. WHY GRADY SMILES. State Senator John C. Grady is hav ing some fun with those featherweight statemen who have been Indulging in wild talk about Governor Stone being afraid to call an extra session of the legislature, lest a movement might be made to impeach him for his vetoes of a portion of the school appropria tion nnd of the proposed constitution al amendment. Senator Grady directs attention to the fact that only such matters for which the legislature is specifically reconvened can be consid ered at an extra session. It is highly Improbable that the governor would, in his call for an extra session. In clude a proposition to have himself impeached. The ignorance which Sen ator J. Bayard Henry, Representative W. T. Creasy and others In the Insurgent-Democratic alliance display In their public declarations on constitu tional questions has been an amusing feature of the newspaper campaign be ing waged against the Republican state administration. Senator Grady says there will be no extra session of the legislature, and adds that Colonel Quay is already assured by Individual ex pressions from senators of more than enough votes to Insure his being seat ed in the United States senate. CREASY FLATLY TURNED DOWN. Prohibitionists Reject the Demo cratic Nominee For State Treasurer. The Third Party Voters Repudiate Their Leaders Who Have Been Working With the Flinn-Martin Republican Combine. (Special Philadelphia, Correspondence.) July 25. A significant Prohibition party of which will have far revolt in the Pennsylvania, reaching effect throughout the state, was witnessed at the state convention of that party In this city last Friday. A scheme to place the name of the Democratic nominee for state treas urer, William T. Creasy, at the head of the Prohibition ticket was turned down unceremoniously. This action was a complete repudiation of the little coterie of so-called leaders who have been making the Prohibition party an annex to the Republican insurgent machine. It is known that plans were carefully laid to spring Creasy's name upon the convention and put his noml nation through with a hurrah. The manipulators of the game counted upon unsuspecting delegates promptly taking up the suggestion and letting the nomination go through without op rosition. But it happened that a mini' her of the old time Prohibition work ers, who have been relegated to the rear by some of the recent accessions to the ranks of the party, got an Ink ling of what was going on. They at ence set to work and Industriously anu systematically canvassed among the delegates and ultimately thwarted the schemers who had been so hopeful of putting the Creasy project through successfully. State Chairman Charles It. Jones and Chairmen L. L. Kaven- son and Homer L. Castle, of the Phila delphia and Allegheny delegations, re spectively, were put down, among others, as favoring Creasy. Hiram De Walt, who is looked upon as one of the "Old Guard" of the Prohibition party of Pennsylvania, was a determin ed opponent of this proposition to put the Democratic nominee at the top of the Prohibition state ticket. There was not even a suggestion of fusion, but hold move to tnrow tne entire Pro hibition vote to the Democratic party, without a single good argument to Uh advanced for so doing.

Mile A Armstrong, HgentM. tf THAT DAVID MARTIN" DUAL. Others openly declared that the ten dency of the recent management of the party's affairs was to subordinate the work for the fundamental principles of the Prohibition party to participat ing in the game of state politics in the interests of the Flinn-Martin combine in the Republican party. It has been supposed for some time that there has been not a little lubricating of the prohibition state machine by insurgent Republican Interests and a s'gnlflcant and suspicious solicitude for the In surgent cause has been noticeable. The placing of the names of David Martin and his Democratic friend, John H. Fow, on the Prohibition ticket for the legislature last fall was but one of many circumstances that aroused feel ings of indignation among the rank and file of the Prohibition party. Throughout the state deals were made by which the Prohibition party was subordinated to the schemes of the Flinn-Martin Insurgents to defeat reg ularly nominated Republican candi dates for the legislature. The names ef the Democrats with whom the bolt ing Republicans wished to defeat the regular Republican nominees werj placed upon the Prohibition ticket. In this way the Prohibition party was made a mere tender to the Insurgent factional machine. The revolt against a continuance of this policy came at the meeting of the Prohibition state convention last Fri day. A movement was actually or ganized to unseat Mr. Jones from the chairmanship of the Prohibition state committee, and It would have been carried out .effectively had not the Creasy business been dropped. Not withstanding this fact, when the state committee met for reorganization 12 members declined to vote for Mr. Jones' re-election, and cast their bal lots for Emmet D. Nicholls, of Lu zerne, a straightout Prohibitionist, for state chairman. Further attempts at alliance with either Democratic or Republican ma chines will no doubt meet with vigor ous public protests from straightout Prohibitionists throughout the state. CREASY'S NARROW ESCAPE. Creasy, in the role of a Prohibition ist, would be a strange spectacle for his colleagues In the legislature to con template. His record at Harrlsburg would place him In line for almost anything except a Prohibition nomi nation. He would have been vigor ously assailed had he been placed on the Prohibition ticket. Representative Ebenezer Adams, of West Philadelphia, Is given credit for enlightening many of the delegates in the Prohibition convention as to the scheme to put Creasy on their ticket and of 'the criticisms of such action that would certainly follow. The senti ment against this fusion became so strong thnt the men back of the game finally concluded that it would be best not to bring Creasy's name before the convention. Democratic State Chairman Rilling, who was In town during the day, was greatly disappointed at thly failure to help out hia free silver candidate for state treasure and Creasy's feellng3 under the circumstances can be im agined. The insurgent Republicans who hoped to use a Prohibition nomination of Creasy as a club over stalwart Re publicans were naturally chagrined. The Prohibitionists nominated Major H. S. Caldwell, mayor of Mllford, Northumberland county, for state treasurer. He is a practical Prohibi tionist, has a splendid official record and Is a Union veteran. For Justice of the supreme court they named Aglh Ricketts, of Luzerne, and for justice of the superior court H. L. Robinson, of Fayette. PARTY WRECKERS NOT WANTED, "One of the most insane of the party wrecking organs," says The Inquirer, "complains loudly that the recent ap- pointments of census supervisors in Pennsylvania were drawn from the ranks of the stalwart Republicans; that the appointments were made upon the recommendation of Quay and Pen rose, and it ' prints a brief history of each official named. From these his tories It appears very conclusively that a high order of supervisors has been obtained: that there is not an un fit man among them: that each one of the appointees la a credit. And yet this complaining organ lan t happy What did it expect? Has it be lieved that the administration at Washington is in the party wrecking business like itself? Has it supposed that a political highwayman of Pitts burg and a discredited politician of Philadelphia, trading under the firm name of Flinn & Martin (Limited), would receive recognition at the na- tion's capital? There has been noth ing more disgusting in the history cf politics than the attempt of this firm of self seeking political freebooters to pull dow:i the Republican party in Pennsylvania and, like vultures, to grow fat upon the remains. The fed eral administration is not In the carrion business, therefore it has passed by the Flinns nnd Martins, and every cen sus supervisor is a man opposed to the methods which those leaders of per sonal spite and envy adopted at Har- rlsburg. Evidently there Is not much use in Washington for the party wreck ers of Pennsylvania. NEW YORKERS INSPECTING. Philadelphia has been invaded dur ing the past week by two separate sets of New Yorkers. One set came to spy out the land and to discover why It is that Philadelphia Is encroaching upon New York's ocean commerce. The other set came over to look Into the National Export exposition. Both sets, apparently, were hlphly edified. They cane to the conclusion that the exposition is iiltogether l'x important to be ignored and that the Immense work on the river front is evidence of great enterprise, as it Is. They under stand that Philadelphia is prepared for trade, and that the dock and port charges are much less here than in New York. As a matter of fact the water front of New York is pretty much ail occupied, while the port of Philadelphia has ample room. What is needed, of rr.ure, is a SO oot chan nel to the sea and that is coming. Some day we shall have an ocean canal across New Jersey. When that enter prise Is .-.'complislied New York will have to adopt extreme measures If she Is to hold her ocean carrying businesa.

" 'I in saving mysulf lor n gnmo Mint s coming later on,' tho man told ino with another of thoso flinty glares stealing Into his eyes. 'Tho show s bound for Cniuurgo, Mexico, Isn't it?' I told him that Camnrgo, Mexico, was on 'tho date book ; that it was probably the last town tho show would nppoar in be fore going Into winter quarters.

" A hugo crowd of half breeds turned out for tho show in Camargo. There was but ono performance, tho night show, and tho ranchers for alHiut a hundred miles around had galloped in to tako in tho show. About throo-quarters of tho bunch of several thousand in tho tent wore gaudily bedeck ed cow handlers. They all hud knives in full sight, but no guns. Mexican cow punchers rarely pack guns. They don't light on tho level, nnd n knlfo isn't a lovol Instrument to fight with. "Beforo tho flaps were pulled up for tho crowd I noticod iny quiet tontmun getting a stack of wagon poles, nearly n hundred of them, piled together in a heap. I ulso noticed that nouo of tho hands, cither in my gang or in tho other gangs thcro wcro nearly 200 men all told connected with tho show wero doing much talking. They seemed to lie. on odgo for something thnt was going to htipcn.

Ho hail put tho wholo gang of hands next, for they didn't waste n second In taking up the yelp all over tho tent. Then they camo a-rushing for tho polos. Well, I thought I'd keep out of that ono. I inndo for tho shelter of n ticket wagon nnd saw it nil from thcro. Tho quiet tentnmn served out all of his poles in less thun two min utes, nnd t hen tho hands began to break.

Ho Was a six footer and built in proportion, and tho way they went down was a caution. Finally his eyo lit upon the prison guurd who had beat him whon he was chained, and, hj n curious coincidence at the same moment, the greaser who had tried to stab him heaved In sight. Tho victim of Camargo dragged one to tho other by tho scruff of tho neck, banged their heads together and then stabbed them both to the heart with one of tho guard's knives. That was tho last I ever saw of hiiu, but ho got away. Wo got across tho Kio Grande in our liurgcs just In tiino to see five troops of Mexican cavalry pull up on thu banks of tho Mexican sidu.
