A BYRANITE BOOM FOR INSURGENTS Followers of Fiinn and Martin Disheartened by the Work of Democratic Allies. PENROSE SCORES A TRIUAPH The- tlrllllnnt Yonnsr Senator Scored n Great Victory In Se-cnrlnsr the lririnlloil For the Immense Hour lo k For Li-miar Inland. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Jan. 30. The action of thn Democratic state committee on Thursday last in adopting a resolution declaring William Jennings Bryan to hp the choice of the Democracy of Pennsylvania for president was receiv ed like a bomb in the camp of the Re publican insurgents "f this state. This element in the Republican party that follow the leadership of David Martin In this city and William Flinn in the western counties in opposition to the leaders ol the regular Republican organization have been hopeful of con tinuing their alliance with the Guffey Democrats in the canvass for mem bers of the legislature this year. Be fore Guffey went to Harrisburg the In surgents warned him against allowing the Democratic state committee taking up the Bryan movement. They de clared that if it became known that Guffey's friends were committed to Bryan a larjje element of the Demo cratic party would refuse to support tils candidates for the legislature. This would defeat their schemes for fusion. While the insurgents could control a certain number of Republicans, this number would b small as compared with the Democratic vote in any local ity where the full Democratic vote must be polled in order to defeat the regular Republican nominees. It Is known that Guffey fully appre ciated the force of this argument from the Martin-Flinn combine, but he also realized that his personal following among tho Democrats is composed largely of the radical free silveritea, who fairly worship Bryan. When he landed in the state capital he soon dis covered that the boys were determined to declare for Bryan for president re gardless of the wishes of their Republi can allies, and the Bryan resolution was presented at the state committee mooting, and it was adopted without a dissenting voice UNDER BRYAN'S STANDARD. The Bryan standard has thus been raided over the Democratic camp, and if Fiinn and Martin pr p-? to continue to array themselves against the Repub lican party and Its regularly nominated candidates thev must fight with Guf fey under the flan of Bryan, stand ac cused of supporting the Chicago plat form and everything else that Bryan ism implies. Many of the former fol lowers of Martin and Flinn will not go with them into the Bryan camp, and Guffey cannot under any circum stances ret the support of the sound money Democrats. M-iny of them, rather than accept the Bryan platform of the Guffey contingent, will vote the regular Remibliean ticket, as most of them did in the McKinley campaign four years atro. If the gold Democratic leaders of TTarrisbprs had been allowed to tell Bryan their private opinion of the sit uation it . would doubtless have been that the committee was simply taking one more step to reduce the already cllv A i mn elisrtrtl rt t 4a Hnm ocratic party in Pennsylvania, and that there Is not the slightest likeli hood that he will be able to carry n dozen out of the countien of the state. A CONDITION, NOT A THEORY. During his stay in Harrisburg Mr. Bryan delhered himself of the usual speech about the Chicago pbtform. re iterating his intention to stick to it an'I declaring that unnunlifled devotion to it was the true and only test of Demo cratic faith. At no time did he hold forth theslightest encouragement to the tens of thousands of DemocrstT who have no funinnthv with the Chicago platform to return to the party: he harped arain r,n the silver qucst'or with bin ripvtnniary emphasis, and gave his followers riintinrUy to understand that he battle of 1000 was to be watred alone the same lines as that of 1896, with the exception of his new depart ure on the issue of anti-imperialism. Put it wrs a Roire-rhat unpleasant circumstance that, ia the midst of Mr. Bi van's nppe-1 to the DpniTrrits or PeTinsylvaTHa for renewed fidelity to the silver iwue an announcement was mae nl Ilan-lshtire on behalf of the gr;it Pennsylvania steel works in Steelton that on the first of March there would be an adv-nnce of wages of about 10 per cent, nr.d that more than l.ooo men would obtain the benefits of tho increase. PENROSE'S CURAT VICTORY. Senator Penrose finds that the labors nnd trials of two United Stat senator chips which have been upon his shoul ders since the expiration of Senator Quay's term a;e wearing heavily. He has scarcely had an opportunity to visit Y:U hone In this city since Christ mns. He is kept at work night and lay at Washington attending to the many c.Tlclal responsibilities which come to hint from his constituents in every county in the state. He has rys temntized his correspondence, and lie always carries an immense batch of papers on l-'i daily rounds of the de partments. He made a determined fight to have Learrue Island equipped with a stone dock such as would place it upon a plane with the grent navy yards of the world. There were many objections from members of congress from slates far from the seaboard, who at first failed to appreciate the Im portance ot this proposed improve ment, lie finally succeeded in remov ing all opposition with the aid of sev eral members of the Pennsylvania del egation In the house, and last week Senator Penrose had the satisfaction of seeing President McKinley attach his signature to the bill making the appro priation fur tho work. This stone dock will mei n much to the industries of Pennsylvania, especially the iron Interests. It will mean that supplies Having a ; rent Itiin on 'liaiiiberlnin's t'onvh ltrirudy.

Senator Pen rose had all these things in mind when he began his fight, and he never lost track of the main issue throughout the long drawn out contest which has re sulted so successfully. ELECTION FRAUDS MUST BE STOPPED Republican State Convention Will Declare in Favor of Ballot Reform. THE EVIL NOT WIDESPREAD. Ilemoerata anil Othfrn With Selftsh Interests Cannot, llowevrr. Make Political Capital Ont of Election Crookedness In a I'fiv Dlatrlrta la the Slum of rtillnilrlnlilit. (Special Correspondence.) Harrisburg, Jan. 30. Because a cou ple of cases of election frauds were re cently unearthed In the slum districts of Philadelphia a great howl has been raised all over the state In an attempt to place the responsibility of this crookedness upon the Republican or ganization. This is not done through any particular desire to admnc i the cause of reform, but with a view to help along the Democratic party anl the political ambitions of a few men who, while claiming to be Republicans, ire devoting their time to assailing that party because they have failed in their efforts to secure positions through the Republican organization. " The Republican party of Pennsylva nia is too great an organization, and its record Is such that any fair minded man would not charge It with counte nancing corruption at elections, to al low even the discredited Democratic leaders to continue to spread the re ports connecting party leaders with this nefarious work. The coming Re publican state convention will. In the party platform, denounce in the most emphatic manner all Illegal practices at the polls; It will call for the arrest and conviction of all who shall be guilty of election frauds of any charac ter, and will demand of the next leg islature the enactment of such legisla tion as will place additional safeguards about the ballot and insure even in the hotbeds of depravity. In the slum dis tricts of the large cities, as free and as fair an election as Is had In a greit majority of the voting precincts of th commonwealth under existing condi tions. There will be no opportunity or reason to question the sincerity of these declarations or of the party leaders who will frame these declara tions, and the state convention, which will be composed of representative Re publicans from every county in the commonwealth, will adopt the platform by a unanimous vote. This, then, can be taken as pledging the honor of the Republican party to see that this prom ise in the platform shall be carried out at the next session of the general as sembly. The Brynnite Democratic organiza tion which met here last week had hut two verses to their song. One was for the glorification of Bryan and Guffey as the national and state leaders of their cause, and the other was a sweep ing arraignment of the Republican par ty as the party of corruption. They ar raigned Republicans as the party of trusts and corruption in national legis lation nnd as the party whose reign of power was only continued through cor ruption at the polls. Their anti-tariff fulminations were exploded in many a campaign, hut with these couple of election cases In Phila delphia as their excuse they sought to make out that the creat majorities throughout the Rtate for the Republi can ticket at the last election were manufactured by means of the manip ulation of the returns and the "stuff ing" of the ballot boxes. Since the Democrats have departed the second verse of their song has been taken up by some of the so-called Republican Insurgents, who have "a holler than thou" way of presenting themselves be fore the public, and they, too, wish to pose as the especial champions of a "pure ballot." PEOPLE NOT FOOLED. . Now the facts are the people are not being fooled by any tactics of this char acter. They know that, the Republican party, through its state organization. Is responsible for the many reforms that have been Instituted within the last ten years all aimed toward a se cret ballot, a free and open election and a fair count and proper reMirn of all the votes cast at every election, borough, county or state. They know that the present ballot law insures all these conditions when there is an in telligent and law abiding constituency to see that the provisions of the law are enrried out. Complaints as to im perfections in the law come from very few election districts. As a rule, the voters, since they have become famil iar with the method of marking the ballot, are entirely satisfied with the present law in its general provteiony, but if amendments can be made to the act which would" place additional safeguards in the way of blocking the schemes of the political heelers In the large cities there would he universal satisfaction expressed among those who regard tho voting franchise as one of the most sacred of American Institu tions. That an honest effort will be made by the leaders of the Republican or ganization to bring this about is be yond question. They are thoroughly ilive to the sentiment of the people on this subject and they will see to it that the ballot law Is strengthened in this particular at the coming session of the legislature. Those who sre as sailing the Republican organization In Philadelphia because of the two cases of election frauds just exposed I want to let the people who suffer from rheumatism and sciatica know that Cba u berlain's Pain Balm relieved mo after a number of other medicines and a doctor had failed.

There was no occasion for the leaders of the Repub lican organization to encourage or countenance fraud at the last election in the Quaker City. The result of the election was a foregone conclusion. There was practically no opposition ot a serious character to the Republican ticket. Not a single ward in the city could be placed in the doubtful list. There was therefore no reason why the party managers should seek to have a false return made. CONFINED TO THE SLUMS. It has been notorious for years, how ever, that in a few election precincts, in which the dives of the city are lo cated, an evil has existed, which exists in every large city, where election frauds were frequently committed. Tbse frauds are not confined to any pfiTty, but Republicans and Democrats alike among the Inhabitants of the slums were guilty at various times of flagrant violations of the election laws. Many times, for the mere mat ter of supremacy in a voting precinct, without regard to the personality of the candidates on the ticket, most reprehensible practices have been re sorted to in "cooking up" the election 'eturns. At the last election two cases, one In the Fifth ward and the other In the Seventh, resulted !n ar rests of alleged guilty parties. Then the work of these ballot box Btuffers was revealed in all its awful details. Time .ind time again have arrests been made in those localities, and the rec ords of the courts will show how many convictions have been made in cases of violation of the election laws. In these hotbeds of lawlessness election frauds are but part of the record of crime which makes these districts shunned by citizens who dare not ven ture in such localities without a po liceman as a guide after nightfall. The question of protecting the sanctity of the ballot In these districts is no more important a problem than Is the pro tection of the lives and the property of the law abiding residents. While there may be defects In the ballot law, yet the present act can be amended and reamended, and If fearless, determined men are not obtainable to go Into these precincts on election day there will continue to be crimes against the bal lot, as there have been against life and property, as long as the elums shall exist. Because then of these recent election fraud cases the hue and cry has been raised against the Republican party and the Republican leaders of Philadel phia by the Democrats and the Insur gents. They might as well proclaim the Republican party and the Republi can lenders as responsible for every sandbngging Incident, highway rob bery or murder that occurs among the denizens of the dives. REPUBLICANS WILL PROSECUTE. The men who are decrying the Re publican party do not refer to the fact that a district attorney. P. F. Rother mel, who was the unanimous choice of the Republican organization of Phila delphia and Its leaders, is now en gaged In fearlessly and untiringly prosecuting the accused men in these election cases and that the detective department of the Republican admin istration of Mayor Ashbrldge, a strict Republican organization man, is hunt ing night and day for the men who. after they were arrested, fled from the city. Every Republican newspaper, re gardless of the factional interests, has denounced these election crimes, and they are all determined that these election frauds shall cease even among the depraved of the slums. There are 1,008 election precincts In Philadelphia, and even the most radical reformer dare not say that the election frauds are confined to more than a certain class of precincts where it Is difficult to get good men to guard the polls on election day. GOV. STONE AND THE FORESTS. Under Governor Stone's administra tion great strides are being made In the movement to protect and develop the forests of Pennsylvania, In the in terest primarily of the farmers, and for the preservation of the water ways of the commonwealth. Dr. J. T. Roth rock, the state forestry commissioner, has just completed the purchase of 60, 000 acres of land, to become a great reservation for the preservation of the forests of the state. He says that the forestry commission ha3 40,000 addi tional acre3 in view, which he hopes to secure soon. A large tract of the new purchnse, he states, lies in Centre and Clinton counties, adjoining the Girard and Boudinot tracts, already held by the city of Philadelphia, and affording a continuous stretch of 45, 000 acres of land, "pledging a perpet ual park to posterity and a new Ufa to the state." Dr. Rothrock, In com menting upon this subject, said: "It is not often that a reformation as large as this has been accomplished in the lifetime of the generation which started the movement. The forestry cause, however, is won in Pennsylva nia. It (s not a question now as to whether tho work of restoring our lum bering industries and the normal flow of water In our streams shall be under taken, for that Is already decided upon. What we have now to consider is by what method this work shall be accom plished. "The sole object of this whole work has been to establish lumbering In all its forms, forever, and at the same time to secure the influences which for ests bring to climate, health and water supply. This, then, is our platform, using the gifts of God, but not abusing them. "The actual work of the Pennsylva nia forester today Is threefold. First, to set apart land for forest growth; second, to plant where nature fails to produce a spontaneous tree growth, and third, to keep the fires off the land upon which trees are growing. "The creation of the three state for estry reservations, authorized by the legislature, will undoubtedly be per fected before the end of the. present year. We may confidently hope that before January, 1901. three state for estry reservations of not less than 40, H00 acres each will have been located nd set apart for public use as public, property, upon the head waters of the jrlnclpal rivers of the commonwealth. The state reservations not only should contain, but will sooner or later con ialn, millions of acres, Instead of thousands."
