Guffey Talks State Issues to Them
and National Politics to
the Democracy.
PBEPAR1NG TOE NEXT TEAR.
An Address From tba Democratic Rational
Committee Which Is a Timely Warning
to Republicans of Pennsylrania.
(Special Correspondence.)
Harrisburg. Sept. 26. Leading Re
publicans of this section of the state
fcho have been to Philadelphia during
the last week In consultation with Gen
eral Frank Reeder, the chairman of
the Republican state committee, state
that the outlook for large Republican
majorities from early reports that have
come from the counties is most en
couraging. They certainly are pleased
with the prospects in Dauphin and
nearby counties, and Congressman Olm
stead, Mead Detwiler, Lyman D. Gil
bert, ex-Mayor Patterson and other
prominent members of the party all
feel that this is going to be a great
year for Republicanism In the old
Keystone state. These men come in
contact with the more influential and
prominent Democrats of the state in
their business and professional re
lations. TURN DOWN OP SANDERS.
They declare that there is an in
tense feeling among sound money Dem
ocrats over the treatment they are re
ceiving at the hands of the present
leadership of their party. The gold
Democrats are disgusted at the exhi
bition In Philadelphia a few days ago
when Dallas Sanders, who once held
the responsible place of chairman of
the Democratic state committee in
Pennsylvania, uuder the conservative
leadership of Samuel J. Randall, wm
turned down ignominlously in his as
pirations to go as a delegate to a local
Democratic convention, because It was
charged that he did not vote for Bryan.
Sanders was attacked in the most
shameful fashion, they say, and notice
was served upon all gold Democrats
that they were not wanted in the party
organization. This incident has created
no end of adverse comment among
Democrats throughout the state. It is
declared that this, with other Insults
that have been heaped upon the sound
money men, will make the Democratic
vote In Pennsylvania cut a sorry fig
ure at the coining election.
There has been a great deal of talk
from State Chairman Rilling about ra
tional Issues not being a factor In the
present campaign in Pennsylvania, but
every day seems to make more conspic
uous the fact that Bryanism Is here to
stay, and that no Democrat who does
not bend tho knee to the silver knight
of Nebraska need hope for recognition
or standing In the Democratic organ
ization. Business men who have here
tofore been identified with the Demo
cratic party are awakening to the fact
that the Democratic organization of
tho counties and state Is as much in
sympathy and accord with the move
ment for th renomination of Bryan
for the presidency as the most radical
and wild eyed of the rampant silver
ite3 of the mining district of the
Rockies. They are not unmindful of
the declaration of the Harrisburg stato
convention which once more heralded
William Jennings Bryan as "Our
Mali T.'.rss Lender," and they know that
support of the Democratic ctata ticket
in Pennsylvania this fall means an
endesement of the Bryanito program
for tho presidential eiection of next
year.
CUFFCY'S DOUBLE ROLE.
Colr.nel James I.I. Guffey, member of
tho Democratic national committee
from Pennsylvania, has been confer
ring with his lieutenants in Pittsburg
and Philadelphia. Ha Is fresh from
the meeting of tl:a executive commltteo
of the Democratic national commit
tee, which was held last week at Chi
cago. Co'.r-;cl Guffey is co-operating
heartily with the Bryr.nites. who are
in absolute control of the Democrat!.
national organization, and was present
when the nrtional committee adopted
its address to the Democracy of the
country, in whi'h it said:
"Tho naflirnl committee of the
Democratic party In session r.t Chi
cago to foiiRj.Tr.;- I he work of party
organization r'Taratcry to the
campaign of 1!iOO, sends greeting
to the Der.it-p.fy pf the nation,
witU.hea?;F .-::.( ethat the prospect
of Deniorrrtic succe next year
grows brifl ;?; every dry, and we
have evry region for confidence as
to the outcome.
"Tho fjier.t need now Is party
unity and thorough organization.
The committee therefore appeals
to our party friends In all states,
and "especially in the states where
elections ere to be held this year,
to put aside all local differences
whoever they exist and support
the res'ilRr part." tickets earnestly
and enthusiastically, keeping al
ways In view the great struggle of
next year, and remembering that
in unity there is strength and in
division weakness."
With this appeal to Democrats to
Btand by their party in the hope of
success in next year's presidential
election still upon his lips, Colonel
Guffey returns to Pennsylvania to re
Iterate to Republicans, whose support
he seeks for the silverite candidates on
his state ticket: that "this Is an off
year campaign in Pennsylvania. Na
tional politics has nothing to do with
this canvass. State issues alone are

Involved. Republicans who want gou'l
government should vote for the Dem
ocratic ticket."
But Republicans re?or;nlze the fact
that the greater the Democratic vote
in Pennsylvania this fall the more con
solation and encouragement will be
given Bryan to make another desper
ate dash for the presidency next year.
The greater the appeals of the Dem
ocratic national committee to Demo
crats of Pennsylvania to get together
for next year's battle the less consid
eration should Republ'cans give to the
sincerity of their campaign cry of this
being a state issue contest In Penn
sylvania. Colonel Guffey Is not running the
Democratic campaign in this state thi:)
fall for nothing. No one better than
himself knows that there Is not the
ghost of a show for the election of
any man on the Democratic ticket in
Pennsylvania this year. He fully real
izes that Mr. Creasy, the nominee of
his party for state treasurer. Is prac
tically unknown to the voters of the
state. The latter has not during tho
few years he served as an officeholder
at Harrisburg done anything to at
tract attention to himself beyond car
rying out the plans outlined by the
managers of the Insurgent Republican
organization. He has not been af
filiated with the active Democracy of
the state and has neither their sympa
thy nor hearty support In his present
canvass.
WANTS TO BE SENATOR.
But Colonel Guffey has his own fish
to frv. He would, of course, like to
see a large Democratic vole polled this
fall, but he is more eager to divide the
Republicans wherever he sees It may
be to his advantage in his aspirations
for the United States senate. This Is
the meat in the political cocoanut
which Colonel Guffey Is giving his at
tention to in this campaign. He wants
to divide the Republicans as much as
possible, In order to help his canvass
for the United States senate. He has
mapped out a great scheme for fusion
tickets for the legislature next year,
by which he hopes to defeat regular
Republican nominees for the senate
and the house. His address intended
particularly for the voters of Chester
county, endorsing the fusion movement
in that county this fall, was designed
to further the cause of the combina
tion of the Democrats and disgruntled
Republicans, who have a fusion on the
county officers Owing to a similar
combine in this county last fall, the
Democrats succeeded in capturing two
of the four members of the legislature
from Chester, which ordinarily ought
to be a stalwart Republican county.
Guffey is pursuing the same tactics
throughout the state, and whenever he
sees a chance to divide the Republi
cans locally he gives the Democrats
all the encouragement possible. There
will be show of fighting for the state
ticket, but with the Republicanism of
the commonwenlth aroused and a gen
eral determination to support the Mc
Kinley administration in its war policy
the Democrats realize that they have
no chance of electing any one on their
sttte ticket. They will, however. In
local struggles do all In their power to
disrupt the Republican organization in
the hope of helping Guffey in his sen
atorial canvass.

AND 1BRAYK MEN

Meet Eiiu in New York.
PHILADELPHIA TO HONOR THEM.
Ihe "Fighting Tenth" Will Ee the Only
Troops From Kanili in the Great Dem
onstration Over the Glorious Hero of
Manila.
(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, Sept. 26. Elaborate
preparations are ' being made for
the entertainment of the Tenth Penn
sylvania regiment, that participated
with Dewey in the campaign In Luzon,
while they are here en route to the
demonstration in New York In honor
of the admiral. The "Fighting Tenth,"
who were received with s.ich a glorious
outbu.st of popular feeling in Pitts
burg, are going to have a similar re
ception in the Quaker City, the homo
of American patriotism. They will
find that Philadelphia cannot be ex
celled in paying a tribute of regard to
the brave sons of Pennsylvania who
went to the far off Philippines to de
fend the flag and give their lives If
necessary for the dignity and honor of
their country. No other state east of
the Alleghenies can claim the credit
of having a regiment In Luzon In the
recent struggles with the Spanish and
the Filipinos. The "Fighting Tenth"
returned home with a record excelled
by no other command for discipline
and bravery in action. They were 71
days on the firing line, and the dead
they left in Luzon and the tattered
battle flag that they brought home
bear testimony to the valor and pa
triotism of the regiment.
Although Lieutenant Colonel James
E. Barnett, who is In command of the
regiment, has been unable to take any
part in the canvass for his election as
the Republican nominee for state
treasurer, on account of his health
having been broken down from hla
experience in the Philippines, it is be
lieved that he will be strong enough
to make the trip to New York.
Philadelphia will maintain her repu
tation for hospitality when the boys
of the "Fighting Tenth' reach here
this week. The Third regiment, every
man of whom, under Colone. Robert
Ralston, volunteered when the call
came from the president, in the Spanish-American
war, will be proud to
have the members of the Tenth as
guests. They will be at the station to
meet them on their arrival, and will
escort them to their reeimental ar
mory and entertain them at supper.
After that there will be a series of
"smokers" at convenient halls, each
company looking after a company of
the visitors for that occasion. The
atrical talent have been encased for
those events and they promise things
of marvelous interest to the visitors

It Is proposed to give the bc.y3 of tha

was with Dewey In the Phillpp!ne3,
will receive much nttention along the
line of march in Manhattan.
After t; e parade there will be an
interesting reunion of the land and Rea

diers meet the men of the Olympia
The officers, saiiors and marines of
A'lmiial Dewey's flagship have many
Interests In common. They were often
together In Luzon. The Pennsylvania
soldiers were frequent visitors to the
vessels of the fleet and they came to
know the men under Dcwcy almost
as well as they did those of the regi
ments th:it n-ere assigned to d.Uy near
them In the military operations on
land.
The otiastlon of whether the trip of
the Tenth from PittsUire will be made
In the daytime or by nlht hns not yet
oeen settled. Some persons think that
the :r,ou should travel tlv.-3V; li Penn

residents of the eastern part of the
state to see the soldiers. Others wish
to travel by night.

How the Issue Is Viewed by a
Leading Citizen of Pittsburg.
I
Republicans Should Roll Up a Big Vote to
Sustain the President and Prevent a
Disturbance of Prosperous Business Con
ditions.
Considering the question of expan
sion from a purely business point of
lew, Ralph Butler, a well kuown busi
ness man of Pittsburg, has addressed
himself to tho voters of Pennsylvania
In an interesting review of this absorb
ing topic, which Is being discussed In
every state campaign throughout the
country. Mr. Butler, who Is secretary
and general manager of one of the
largest insurance companies in the
state, says that as a business man he
nr.3 n ueciueu interest in tuc nut-raw
oi tne uepuuucuii party mis iuii. wo-
fcit, or doubtful victory, means an
uncertain contest next year and Its
consequent derangement of business.
He heartily advocates the election ot
the whole Republican ticket and de-
lares that every business man who
wishes to see the era of prosperity con
tinued should exert his Influence to
help swell the Republican vote this
fall.
A BUSINESS QUESTION ONLY.
"The question of holding the Phil
ippines temporarily or permanently
is a business question only," says Mr.
Butler, "Interwoven to a certain ex
tent with the moral question. In all
the advances of the civilized races, so
called, into the domain of the uncivil
ized or Inferior races, the business
question and self interest have been
the motive powers. Columbus was not
moved by phllanthrophy In sailing
westward over the unknown seas, but
was attempting to find a shorter pas
sage to the Indies, for commercial pur
poses. His commercial venture result
ing in the discovery of America, where
it caused the destruction practically
of the native races, placed two great
continents Into the possession of, and
at the disposal of that dominant civil
izing force of the world, the Caucasian
race.
"Today the business question la the
motive power behind Ensland, Ger
many, France and Portugal in their
invasions Into the heart of the dark
continent. The same business ques
tion Is back of Russian, German, En
glish and French advances Into Asia.
These great nations are not fools, and
we should consider carefully the busi
ness side of this question before we
decide to ruu counter to the commer
cial policy of all the great nations of
the Eastern Hemisphere.
'It is not the proper way to discuss
a business proposition to t ry Imperial
ism and militarism, and attempt to ex
cite the passions as a red rag excite
a bull. Neither Is it proper to ad
vance theories, ancient mooriugs and
moral questions. We muBt take the
world as we find It, not as it was
a hundred years ago, or as we would
like to see it. The civilizins force oi
business is invading the valleys, the
forests and the mountains of the in
ferior races, and wo could not stop
it If we would, for it will move on llko
the fatal Juggernaut, crushing out all
opposition und gathering to the peo
ple who wield its forces the great
and unknown wealth of these so-called
heathen lands. We may shudder at
the thought, but the work of subjugat
ing these people will go on, even
though we stand aside and see other
nations place Into the coffers of their
people this great wealth.
THE DUTY OF OUR GOVERNMENT.
"One of tho fundamental principles
of our government Is the greatest good
to the greatest number, not to the
world s people, but to our own peo
ple. The physical welfare of our peo
ple Is one of the most pressing amies.
Their moral advancement usually
keeps pace with the physical.
Remunerative labor win uc3i ad
vance our people's physical and moral
welfare. Our manufacturing capacity
is unlimited, our present markets are
limited, heuce, at times we face labor
troubles, communism, possible an
archy. We have an acreage unequaied
In Its extent and productive capacity,
yet the demand for our soil products
is often limited, bringing commercial
depression, for much wealth growH on
the earth's surface when it can find a
market.
"The greatest good to the greatest
number of our people will be best
served by securing by every possible
means a market for the manufacturing
and agricultural products of the coun
try. This will give employment to our
people, with an increase or remunera
tion and wealth.
But what has the Philippine ques
tion to do with this? Perhaps much,
perhaps nothing. If we conclude to
hold the Philippines we will have
taken a step toward adopting the com
mercial policy of the greatest nations
of the earth. If we relinquish the
Philippines on moral grounds and the
fear of abandoning tome ancient moor
ings, we will not benefit the Philip
pines, for the Juggernaut of commer
cial greed from other sources will
sweep over the islands and we may
miss our opportunity to advance the
commercial prosperity of our people
on the lines that have made Ergland
the richest nation on the earth.
A POSITION OF VANTAGE.
"We stand today In a position of
vantage never approached by any other
nation. We are more Isolated than
England; we command from our own
porta, both oeean3, England but one;
we have within our borders a great
agricultural area, rich and fertile; ex
tensive coal, iron and precious metal
deposits, and the largest manufactur
ing plants extant. Who can hold a
candle to us In all these things? In
manufacturing the markets of the
world are ours, if we will but force
them. Within ten years China may
