THF FOREST REPUBLIC' REPifD IK GATHERONJ IE HILL Great Throng of Euthusiastio Party Men Go to the State Convention. BOLDIERS BOOMING BAENETT. Colonel McCIure Gives the Democracy a Shock by Predicting the Triumphant Election of the Republican Candidates Before They Are Named. (Special Correspondence.) Harrisburg, Aug. 22. There Is a great crowd of stalwart Republicans In town, all eager to be on hand when the state ticket is nominated on Thursday next. It is going to be a typical Re publican gathering, full of enthusiasm, party fervor and patriotism. The streets are already thronged with a good natured, cheering crowd, with the partisans of the several candidates all anxious to make a demonstration in favor of their respective favorites. The hotels and other public buildings and many business places and private resi dences are gaily decorated with flags and bunting, and on the sidewalks and in the hotel lobbies and the headquar ters there are many soldiers, some of them in full uniform, fresh from Camp Meade, which is but a few miles down the road from this city. The presence of these military men, among them are many who served In the Cuban and Porto Mean campaigns and have Blnce been musteied out from the federal service, Is full of significance. It means that they are all Interested in the work of the forthcoming convention. They expect to see one of their com rades in arms honored by the Repub lican party of the old Keystone state next Thursday. They have heard of the proposed nomination of Lieutenant Colonel James Elder Barnett, the act ing commander of the famous 'fight ing" Tenth regiment, and they are here to show their interest in him and their desire to see him named for state treasurer. The nomination of Colonel Barnett is now assured. And that he will sweep the state by an immense ma jority is certain. His regiment will reach Pittsburg in a few days, and there is no doubt that a great ovation awaits them. As to the balance of the ticket, Josiah R. Adams, of Philadel phia, for the superior court, has prac tically a walkover, and for Justice of the supreme court J. Hay Brown, of Lancaster, Is in the lead. Judges Archibald, Morrison, White and Wal lace and former Attorney General Pal mer are also proposed for supreme judge. STALWARTS IN CONTROL. The convention will be absolutely In the hands of the stalwart element of the party. The regulars, with the ls Bues clearly defined, carried the pri maries by overwhelming majorities wherever the insurgents put up can didates, with tae exception of in about three counties outside of Allegheny and Philadelphia. In Allegheny no ef fort was made to dispute the power of the Magee-Klinn organization to name the delegates in the districts which they usually carry, and in the Quaker City there was an agreement which gave to the Martinltes a certain num ber of districts without a contest, though this number was much smaller than the Martin men claimed. The outlook for the election of the whole ticket by unprecedented ma jorities is most gratifying. The Demo cratic party is demoralized. The sound money men have bolted Creasy, tire free silverite who was placed on the ticket for state treasurer by the orders of Colnnel Guffey to please the Bryan ites. While the disgruntled insurgents have been praising Creasy, in the hope of compelling the stalwarts to show them some consideration at the state convention, they all know that Creasy is not a vote winner and that he will not have his own party vote back of him on election day. Some idea of the feeling as to the prospects of a sweeping Republican victory in Pennsylvania this fall may be gleaned from an editorial which Colonel A. K. McCIure printed In the Philadelphia Times last Friday. While this publication was overflow ing with unusual frankness it was re ceived witn outbursts of disapproval and disappointment from the Demo cratic lenders and sympathizers. It was the first candid statement of fact as to Pennsylvania politics that has been gotten from a newspaper carry ing the Wanamaker advertisement in Philadelphia for many days. All these journals are industriously telling their readers what a great man Is CreaBy, and how the people are falling over themselves to ret into line to vote for him. it it the same old story that was heard throughout the campaign for poor old Mr. Jonks, who, it will be recalled, ran for governor last year, with the full prestige of the advertis ing subsidized newspapers booming liim daily and nil the other influences of the insurgent Republican organiza tion at hjs br-.ck. Mr. Jenks now knows the value the people place on these bar gain counter organs and what influence they do not possess. M CLLRE'S CANDID ADMISSION. With this whole choir daily harp ing on Creisey's strength, it Is, in deed, refreshing to read Colonel Mo dule's breezy und convincing way of brushing them ali to one side. In didcussMg the probable nominees of the Republican state convention Colonel Mct'lure said: "The nomination for Btate treasurer shaped itself. It happened to come Quay's way, and in that he was for Innate. The record of the heroism of the Tenth regiment in the Philippines stands out single from all the others alike In sacrifice and achievement In tho bloody conflict with a barbarous foe and de adly climate in the far easr. Had Colonel Hawkins lived he would likely have preferred to take his seat in the senate to which he was elected two years ago, but If he had chosen o prefer the nomination for state treasurer no political combinations Hamilton Clark, of Cliauncey, Ga.,say lie mitlorod with itching piles twenty years before trying DeWitfs Witch Ha zel Salve, two boxes of which completely cured him.

Heath A Killmer. p . . . . . . i . , ieft IJeutenant Colonel Uaiux.i o only surviving officer of the gallant Tenth who has hnd active rjartlcina- tion In politic, and at no time since the death of Colonel Hawkins has his nomination for state treasurer depend ed upon anything but his willingness to accept It. Some of the Republican leaders would prefer another, but knowing that they nugnt as wen uy the moon as to start a tight against him, his nomination will be made with practical unanimity, and it Is most un fortunate for. Democratic Reformer Creasy that he has to buck against the buzz-sav record of the glorious Ttuth regiment." WILL W3 A CLEAN SWEEP. "It gos without saying," continued Colonel McCIure, after making com plimentary references to J. Hay Brown and Josiah R. Adams, whose nomina tions for the supreme and 6uperlor courts, respectively, he predicts, "that the Republican state ticket will be elected. The people would willingly strike a revolutionary blow If the De mocracy of the state commanded the respect it once did as a minority party, but the independent leaders are un willing to develop their lines and strencth in an off year battle to aid the Democrats in their visible decay. "The election, therefore, will prac tically trc. by default because the people of Pennsylvania, regardless of factional interests or prejudices, believe that a l.ival cmnivirt (a rillA tn the eOVemmenl In favor of the policy Inexorably shaped for the republic by the war witn hpain. There can be no Democratic victories in loyal states until there shall be a Democratic party that does not defame its own record of nearly a century In favor of extending our possessions and maintaining honest money." The Pittsburg Dispatch, which op posed Governor Stone in the last cam paign, is not giving the Insurgents much encouragement. Commenting upon Barnetfs letter In refuslne the colonelcy of the Tenth regiment, it says: "The reason which Lieutenant Col onel Barnett gives will be recognized as a thoroughly good one. He and his brother officers desire that the Tenth shall be known as Colonel Hawkins' regiment during the full time of Us federal service. It may occur to some that Barnett'8 decision may deprive him of the rank of colonel only for a short time and that he Is certain to attain that position as soon as th regiment Is reorganized as a command of the National Guard of Pennsylvania. There is little doubt, however, that Barnett has put aside the only chance he will ever have to become colonel of the Tenth regiment. It seems to be assured that he will be made the Republican nominee for state treas urer and that he will thereupon retire from the cllltary service. He puts aside fie office for good and his sac rifice Is. therefore, greater than that made by his subordinates of the staff, who are justly expectant of promotion, if they desire it, in the National Guard. "It is one of the pleading revelations of the latter that, wbl' Colonel Haw kins and Lieutenant ionel Barnett were considered opposing candidates for the nomination of treasurer, and while politicians here at home were speculating on the feelings of. rivalry that must be animating those two men. they remained the most cordial of friends, facing the perils of war as brothers in spirit as well as in arms. The words of admiration and love of Hawkins uttered by Barnett have a ring of the true metal in them. "Lieutenant Colonel Barnetfs letter shows that Colonel Hawkins was wounded by his failure to receive a promotion for his services In Luzon, such ns was .granted to most of the colonels of the volunteer regiments In that campaign. He did not desire this promotion for his own sake, but his failure to obtain it made him fear that the people of Pennsylvania might be led to think that he had not fulfilled his whole duty In the service of his country. Th'i fear was more bitter to the true soldier than the disappoint ment of a personal ambition. Lieuten ant Colonel Barnett evidently shares in the chagrin resulting from this neglect to promote a deserving officer, for he says: 'The laurel wreath came to others, but not to him.' It is not yet understood In this state why Colonel Hawkins was 'passed, by,' as Barnett puts it. but it will be known some of these days. The people of Pennsyl vania have a right to know, for they have the utmost confidence that It was not by reason of any shortcomings on the part of the Tenth's brave colonel." He Didn't Shoot.

"A few nights before my arrival, " writes a correspondent, "an American traveler and his friends had been sitting at a table In a music hall ordering such refreshments as may bo obtained at that kind of a place.

The New Mayor of the Quaker City Shows Force of Character in Politics and in the Performance of His Official Duties. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Aug. 22. The Republi can county conventions were held in ths city today, and they carried out the harmony rrogram to the letter. Wencel Hartmaa was nominated for sheriff. Thomas Dugan for coroner, Wildemore and Hugh Black for coun ty commissioners and Judges S. W. Pennvpacker and H. J. McCarthy were named to succeed themselves. The lat ter is a Deuioctat, and an appointee of Governoi Hastings. Both judges will be named by tue Democratic con- venMon, so that there will be no con tests over the Judiciary at the Novem ber election. There will, however, bo no real stiurg!e over any place on the ticket. Every man in it will be elect ed by a big nnjority. There will be no factional i;pp.isitlon to nny one of them and all elements of the party will unite In worklnr for a large vote, at the election. The selection of thiAcandl-d.u.-s was made after many confer ences cf the lenders of the contending factions wit I V.-ynr Ashbrldge, who has labored i :iceasiagly to bring about harmony In .he pariy organization in this city. I'e has succeeded In a re markable i"T3. The prospective nomination i . Lieutenant Colonel Bar nett for stpte treasurer Is well re ceived In this city. A number of the young snld'ers of the Spanish-American war. who volunteered from this city, have p ..e to Harrisburg to work and cheer t Barnett. Among them are the active spirits in the movement for the organization of the proposed 'Barnett ba't.il;oi." which Is to be formed after the adjournment of the state convenUon and to take part in the campaign. ASHBR1DGE MAKING A RECORD. Ashbrldge Is going to make a record for himself as mayor of this city. He has already Impressed his personality upon the community by his Independ ence and his businesslike way of golnfc I bout things. He wtll not permit hlra- 6elf to be dictated to by the so-called Republican newspapers that never find anything good In anything that any official does, unless he is of the David Martin faction in local politics. Now the mayor wants it known that he represents no faction of the Republi can party and that ho proposes to con duct his office for the best Interests of the people. He has consequently made himself a mark for the assaults of the insurgents, and he is being misrepre sented daily by the same newspapers that go out of their way to attack Gov ernor Stone, and when they cannot find anything in his ol'.lciul acts to criti cize, they assail him personally. Mayor Ashbridse has served notlie on the editors of certain papers that if they go one inch beyond the line of proper and (estimate criticism he will proceed against them in the criminal courts. "I nm not thin skinned," remarked tho mayor a few days ago, "but there Is a limit to what I will stand. I do not propose to be bulldozed Into doins what I do not think Is right, and when I conclude upon a policy I shall carry It out. despite these newspaper attacks, the political character of which the people are li.lly familiar with." PENNSYLVANIA FIRST IN CHARITY The new mayor is a worker as well as a fighter. He showed this in the masterly nianer in which he responded to the call of the secrelary of war for supplies for the stricken people of Porto Rico. He ft once put the full force of his adn'n: : intion to work to have Phllr.dc'i hlr. make a prompt and gen erous response to the appeal for aid. He remained at his ofllce until after midnight rM!e this work was under way. coresponding with the oflicials of the war and navy departments and en listing the rasimnie of loading and puhlic miiritel citizens of the city and state The arrival of the Panther, the transport se"t by the national govern ment to this city to take the suppliex to the st' '.(ken p-P'e, found the warvca fled with provisions ready to be loaded cn i onrd and shipped with out delay. Mrvor Ashbrldge at once got In t"ii''h with Governor Stone and soon Y.n'i ;h" ctpplies si kindly ship ped by the residents of Interior towns of Pennsylvania, diverted from New York, where they were to go under the first notice sent out, and brought direct to this city where they were started off as the first shlnment from the Keystone state. READY FOR THE ENCAMPMENT. Another evidence of the up-to-date methods cr: ployed by Mayor Ash brldge is shown in his management of maters in re.'ation to the coming na tional encami ment of the Grand Army of the Republic. This has involved an Immense amount of work. It has meant the collection ot large sums of money to meet the enormous expense that la being Incured In the public decorations and the proposed entertainment of diS' tinguished visitors. Mayor Ashbrldge ha3 been In constant communication with the committees of the Grand Army and has been of inestimable assistance to them in many ways In carylng out their various plans. He will surely size up to all the require' ments of the position of mayor during the encampment next month.
