ALL ARE LOYAL TO THE PRESIDENT Pennsylvania Republicans Conspic uous at tha Grand Army Encampment. PATRIOTISM THE KEYNOTE. Chairman Reeder Delighted With the Com pliments Paid the State Candidates and the Predictions For Immense Majorities From Every Section of the State. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia. Sept. 12. If there Is one man in Pennsylvania more than any other who has reason to be pleased with the outcome of the Grand Army encampment here in this city last week that man is General Frank Reed er, chairman of the Republican state committee. While politics was not in any way injected into the proceedings of the encampment, and the Republican organization of this state practically closed the headquarters as far as ac tive campaigning was concerned, the very atmosphere seemed surcharged with patriotism, and on very hand were evidences of Intense loyalty to President McKlnley and his adminis tration. As the Republican campaign In the Kevstone state is to be wased exactly upon these lines, and the peo ple of this commonwealth are undoubt edly heartily in accord with these sen timents, the Republican field marshal has occasion to be confident of the out come of t.'ie issue at the polls in No vember next. There were probably not In years so many old soldiers gathered together in this city at one time. Among them were thousands of active and influential Republicans in their respective localities in Pennsylvania. Many of them naturally embraced the opportunity to call at the state head quarters of their party, if only to pay their respects to the state chairman. A REPl'BLICAN RENDEZVOUS. The comfortable building at 1231 Walnut street, which has been occu pied bv the Republican state commit tee for a number of years, became a veritable rendezvous for many of the visitors. The building was beautiful ly decorated In honor of the visiting veterans. The entire front was a mass of red. white and blue bunting, hung in graceful festoons, and almost hiding from view the six large windows which srpply Ilrht to the interior. Portraits of three men who have helped to make the country's history entered into the decorations. Between the windows of the third floor, and surrounded by a multitude of flairs, was a handsome portrait of Washington. Between the windows of the second floor was a like ness of President McKlnley, while in a conspicuous position on the first floor was a portrait of Lieutenant Colonel James E. Barnett, the pallnnt officer of the Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers, and the Republican nominee for stata treasurer, who added fame to the old Keystone state in the campaign in the Philippines. From each window of the building floated a large American flag, and from the cornices fluttered streamers of the national colors. Plenty of chairs upon which to make themselves comfortable and newspa papers from every county in the state were there at their disposal, and the state chairman and his assistants miss ed no opportunity to make their vis itors feel at home. General Reeder, who is a past department (commander of the Grand Army, and marched In the parade with his home post, the Ijifayette. of Easton, is personally ac qaii.'ed ' ''Ui many of the callers, and enjoyed the many Interesting remin iscences of war times. SPLENDID REPORTS RECEIVED. General Reedsr did not fail to in quire of ilia cnllers as to the senti ment in their various counties, and he was naturaily pleased to hear from very quarter of the commonwealth reports of the most gratifying charac ter. The old sohl'eis invariably declared that the Republicans generally were delighted with the action of their state convention in the selection of excep tionally strong candidates, the nomina tion of brave Harnett, for state treas urer, beinj eipecially pleasing to the enthusiastic young Republicans and to the sbldiers generally, both the old and the youii?. Messrs. Brown and Adams, nominee? for the supreme and the superior courts, respectively, were looked upon as lawyers of recognized standing, whose elevation to the bench will strength!. the judiciary of the commonwealth. The vetera:i3 reported that there la a universal fentiment In favor of standing by President McKlnley in a vigorous canipairn for the suppression of the insurrection in the Philippines, and that the stalwart action of the Re publican state convention in its sweep ing and cordial indorsement of the pol icy of President McKlnley and Its em phatic and unequivocal declaration In favor of his renominatlon for the presidency, was received with expres sions of delight by Republicans every where. They recognized that Pennsyl vania has the honor of leading the movement for a second term for Pres ident McKlnley. and they declared that already the people in their respective localities are thoroughly aroused and' are Intent upon rolling up big Republi can majorities for the candidates on the state ticket In November, so that the Keystone state shall by an over whelming Republican triumph at the polls start the ball rolling for a veritable MrKinley landslide for the' presidency next year. PARTY LEADERS PROMINENT. Pennsylvania Republicans In the Grand Army had occasion last week to be proud of the leading officials of the state and of this rity, who have been elected through their Republican organization. United States Senator Boies Penrose, Governor William A. Stone and Mayor Samuel H. Ashbrldge, of this city, were untiring in their at tentions to the visiting veterans, were "Tneyare simply perfect" writes Rob't Moore of La Fayette, Ind., of DeWitt's Lime fcarly KiNers, the "famous little pilln" for constipation and all liver ail ments.

Governor Stone, who as a sol dier of the civil war with an honor able record, could address them as comrades, was particularly happy In the many clever speeches he was called upon to make, and impressed all with the sincerity of his greeting when he welcomed them In the name of the commonwealth. The brilliant young United States senator and the able and energetic mayor of the Quaker City were both patriotic and eloquent, and each was enthusiastically applauded whenever there was occasion to ad dress the old soldiers or sailors at tracted here by the encampment. The governor was accompanied by Attor ney General John P. Elkin, who was not allowed to leave the city without being called upon for one of those characteristically patriotic speeches,' such as thrilled his audiences when, as chairman of the Republican state com mittee, he was conducting the cam paign In the interest of Colonel Stone, for the governorship last fall. Lieutenant Colonel Barnett, who was In this city for medical treatment, was the recipient of much attention from the old soldiers, and his speech, which' he was urged to make in the Academy of Music was one of the interesting features of the week.

A pile of sticks was placed around his feet and someone touchtd a match to it. This was a signal for the "Rough Riders" to come to the rescue; but they were too slow, and the wind, which was strong, blew the blaze against Jerry's legs, setting fire to his clothes. He was screaming in agony when the "Rough Riders" arrived and kicked the burn ing brands away. Then Jerry was re leased and taken home. Kxpenses of 'France Increased. PARIS, Sept. 15.

(Sold by all druggists, Justice Dimner Beeber's Declara tion of Party Loyalty Closes That Issue. he in Determination of the Defeated Candidate For the Superior Court to Stand by His Party Prevents a Deal With the De mocracy. Harrisburg. Sept. 12. That there was a carefully planned scheme on the part of certain disappointed politicians to effect a fusion with the Democracy on the state ticket was known to lead ing men in the Republican party for some time. The plan contemplated the withdrawal of Charles J. Rellly, the Democratic nominee for superior court Justice, and the substitution of the name of Justice Dimner Beeber for his on the Democratic state ticket. This was to be done with the understand ing that the Democrats were to support Beeber for the superior court in re turn for Republican votes which were to be thrown to Crersy, the Demo cratic candidate for slate treasurer. Even if this der.l had recn consum mated there would not have been the slightest danger of the defeat of either Lieutenant Colonel James E. Barnett or Josiah R. Adams, the candidate on the Republican ticket against whom this Intrigue was directed. For every disgruntled Republican who would have supported a schema oi this char acter there would have been a dozen Democrats who would hive repudiated It and voted the Republican ticket. The men who were engineering this project were sorely disappointed last week, when Justice Dimner Beeber came oft in a public aviouncement that he would have nrth'.r to do with the proposed fusion 6-her.: J. JUSTICE BEEBER A REPUBLICAN. This is Justice Beeber's statement ns given to the newspapers: "I cannot be a candidate of any party now. I am bound ty tl.3 ac tion of the convention, and the nomination having gone el.'awhevo, I am no longer In the field. I do not feel that I could accept r.n In dependent nomination, as good faith to the convention nnd to the Republican party requires thr.t I should not, and there.'rre 1 will not." This manly stand tal:en by Justice Beeber was generally commented upon as Indicating that he is de-r.-vln? of the greatest consideration at the hands of the men identified with the Repub lican organization. It wai recalled that throughout the canvass In favor of the successful candidate for this nomination not a single word wns said derogatory to Justice Fesber. ITis an nouncement blocks the gnmo cf the men back of tho grerrllli warfare which has been waged against Josiah R. Adams, the Republican nem'nee for ustire of the superior court. Tho at tempts to arouse opposition to h'n in the Republican party have ben p:;3. ilo and ridiculous. Justice Bca'..e;- la re fusing to be a cat's-paw for the men are working for personal Interests in politics will impress those who have not the pleasure of personal acquaint ance with him with his good Judgment and manliness of character. The Democratic leadcra, as well as their Republican allies, were greatly disappointed when they read Justice Beeber's announcement. Colonel Jas. M. Guffey, the Democratic national committeeman, who went all the way from Pittsburg to Philadelphia to bo on hand to push through the fusion scheme, was the first to recover his equilibrium. Like the fox with the inaccessible grapes, he concluded to at once make the best of a bad situation, and he promptly gave out an Interview n which he said he would never have favored a fusion plan. He admitted, however, that such a proposition had been under discussion for some time, but insisted that no conclusion had beea reached. SOUR GRAPES FOR GUFFEY. 'I for one," said the gall mt Colonel Guffey, wltho'tt even ss much as a smile upon his countenance, "would not favor any such plan. I am satisfied the sentiment Is too strong throughout the state far a straight D3r.iocratic ticket to gain any support for a split ticket." Democratic State Chaiiman Rilling followed the next day with a "me too" Interview to the same e;Tect, but there was a marked expression of disap pointment upon all the woikers about the Democratic state headquarters over the collapse of the fusion scheme. This was their second failure to form a combination to help their state candidates In this campaign. They made a desperate effort to have thu Prohibitionists put Creasy upon their ticket for state treasurer. They had the game all carefully set up with some of the leaders of the Prohibition party who were quietly encouraged to look favorably upon the proposition by certain disappointed Republicans, but when the d legates in the Prohibition state convention discovered what was going on they promptly sat down upon Creasy, whose friends, they declared, should never have had the audacity to attempt to foist him upon the Pro hibition party, without his having the slightest claim to recognition from them. This setback was quite as unex pected as It was emphatic. It looks as though Creasy is not go ing to cut much of a figure in this com- palgn. FL1NN MAKES A STATEMENT Following the declaration from Jus tice Beeber that he proposed to abide by the action of the Republican state convention, a statement from Senator William Flinn, of Allegheny, who was the acknowledged leader of what were known as the "insurgents" in the last legislature, is., significant.

I am a Republi can, end while I am still opposed to Senator Quay and his methods, w hich dominate the Republican machine, I feel that Inasmuch as I participated In the convention which nominated the present state ticket. I can do nothing but support It at the polls. I think I voice the sentiments of the Republi cans of Allegheny when I say that they are opposed to Quay and his methods, and because of this feeling we do not for a minute consider ourselves regular. Should we have decided to protest against this ticket on election day we might have said that we had an ample precedent set by some of the men who are now closely Identified with the Quay organization In the matter of bolting Republican conventions, par ticularly In our city In 1896. but we don't employ Philadelphia methods to govern our actions In Allegheny. What I had to say and do against the pres ent Republican ticket was done in the convention at Harrisburg, and, having been overruled in this protest, I have nothing before me now but to maintain my Republicanism by supporting the nominees. While still opposing the Quay leadership Allegheny will still remain in the Republican as well as in the anti-Quay column." He Once Hnd to Climb Thronnh a White Home Window, An amusing story is told of President Arthur regarding an occurrence which happened during tho last year of his occu pancy of tho White House. He was ono of the most princely chief executives who have filled that high ollico. Ho entertain ed lavishly and dined out quite frequent ly. President Arthur kept Into hours, and tho ushers who were on duty at tho White House at times went to sleep, depending on the nolso of tho carriage wheels nnd tho horses' hoofs to wake them before the president could reach tho door. Ono night a dinner was given in General Arthur's honor by tho governor of tho Soldiers' homo, and It wns 8 :!10 In tho morning before ho returned. Tho four ushers aud policemen went to sleep, three of them In nn anteroom just east of the private dining room nnd tho fourth went to tho basement to indulgo in a short nap. While the guardians of tho pence were asleep snow Ix'gun falling, and the presi dent's carriage sped noiselessly to the mansion, and of course tho ushers slept on. No footman was on the box, and. on finding the doors locked, tho president rang the bell, but fulled to receive any re sponse. After trying for several minutes to arouse some ono ho raised ono of tho windows and climbed in. Finding the men asleep, tho president took tho car riage rolies and spread them over tho men and retired. Before daylight tho slum borers awoke nnd wero startled to learn tho president had found they woro negli gent. "The jig Is up, boys," remarked ono of thorn, as they antlclimted dismissal when the president reached his desk. Finally Ihey mustered npcoumgo enough to apolo gize, to which General Arthur replied: 'Things are coming to a pretty pass when tho president of the United states Is sompolled to climb in tho window of his own houso. Return to your duties and do not let it happen ugnin." The fourth man, who wnnted to square himself, entered tho president's office with great trepida tion and humbly apologized, "fo you were asleep, too, wero you? I did not know it, but as long as you are manly enough to confess I will overlook it this time." Chicago Record.
