(Ppeelnl Correspondence.)
Harrlsburg. Feb. 13. William Flinn,
of TittsburR. who Is once more In the
paddle as the principal leader of the
Republican insurgents of Pennsylvania,
paid a visit to Philadelphia last week
for the purpose of conferring with hia
associates in the Martin-Wanamaker
combination as to the situation In
some of the counties east of the Alle
ghenles. In view of the number of
leading men from these counties who
are frequent visitors here, Flinn might
have stopped ofT on his way east and
learned much that would Interest, even
if It did not please him.
Matters political are not going as the
Insurgents would like to have them In
this section of the state nor, In fact,
in any of the eastern counties.
An unmistakable evidence of the
fact that the so-called Republican In
Furpents are afraid to face the Re
publican voters at the primary elec
tions In many localities of the state In
their true colors was given last week
in Chester county. This senatorial dis
trict has been the theatre of the most
aggressive and desperate campaigning
on the part of the bolters from the Re
publican organization. It was assumed
that in the reopening of their canvass
for the capture of the legislature they
would make a bold and determined
stand In this county. They had a
compact organization of former Re
publicans and the Democratic machine,
under the direction of a lieutenant of
Colonel Guffey, with an almost unlimit
ed supply of cash at his disposal.worked
In harmony with the Republican bol
ters. Their fusion on the legislative
ticket was backed by all the Wana
makcr newspapers of Philadelphia,
many thousands of copies of which
were distributed free daily through the
county, while they fairly teemed with
abuse of the regular Republican or
ganization and its candidates. The fu
sion nominees were elected. They
worked together throughout the legis
lature and to the end of the deadlock
on the United States senatorshlp they
were lined up against the regular Re
publican organization. Since then Rep
resentative Rendall, a leader of the
Chester Insurgents, opposed the elec
tion of Colonel Harnett and the nomi
nees on the Republican county ticket,
but despite this opposition, the Repub
lican candidates were all triumphantly
elected and Harnett swept the county
like a cyclone.
CHESTER THOROUGHLY STAL
WART. As usual, the insurgerts did not
seem to know that they were repudi
ated by the people, and after the elec
tion last November, they again began
to talk about "carrying the county."
They were to have the delegate to the
Republican national convention and
p.lso the delegates to the Republican
state convention. But something must
have struck them recently, for they
have been giving an unusual display of
ordinary common sense. The entire
Insurgent contingent nas fallen down
nnd there will not be even a struggle
over the election of either the national
delegate or the delegation to the state
convention. The stalwarts will have a
walkover. It Is believed that the regu
lar Republicans will require all the
leaders in the Insurgent movement to
prove their claim toRepubllcanism and
to show what right they have to vote
In the Republican organization. Rep
resentative Rendall, who stumped the
county for the Democratic state ticket
last fall, and who was the year before
elected to the legislature on the fusion
ticket, will be challenged as to his
eligibility to run ns a candidate for
membership In the Republican county
committee. The sentiment among the
members of the present Republican
county committee Is of the most stal
wart character, and since the recent ex
pressions from the Republican voters
at the elections there is no doubt that
Mr. Rendall would be promptly noti
fied that he had better apply for mem
bership in the Democratic county com
mittee. Horace A. Reale, of Parkers
burg, a staunch McKinley man and a
supporter of the regular Republican or
ganization, will be chosen delegate to
the Republican national convention
from Chester county, and the entire
delegation from this county to the
state convention will be in accord with
the leadership of T. Larry Eyre, Major
Levi G. McCauley and the other stal
wart leaders of old Chester.
HARMONY IN DELAWARE.
Delawaro county, which, with Ches
ter, makes up the Sixth congressional
district, is also displaying a remark
able condition of Republican harmony,
and despite the frantic efforts of the
Insurgents of Philadelphia to break
Into that county, Delaware stands as
firm as a rock in her allegiance to the
Republican organization of the state.
Under the leadership of Prothonotary
Mnthties the party organization in Del
aware has been strengthened, and ele
ments which heretofore were in con
Pic t are now in absolute accord. The
rivpnt death of the venerable Judge
Clayton was at once heralded as likely
to hring about a new alliance among
the active Republicans of the county,
nnd it was hinted that the Martini-linn
combine would be benefited
thpreby. With the aid of Democratic

sympathizers, an attempt was made to
tart a movement antagonistic to Cap
tain Iiac Johnson, whom Governor
Stone, upon recommendation of the
Republican leaders of the county, ap
pointed to succeed the late Judge Clay
ton upon the bench. It was quickly
made apparent that the members of
the bar of the county who are Repub
licans resented this scheming to bring
the judiciary into factional politics.
They have announced their Intention
to give Judge Johnson hearty support,
and, as the result of the reactionary
sentiment, it is more than probable
that even the Democrats will now
place Judge Johnson upon their ticket
and thus remove the election of the
judge absolutely from politics.
When the election of the two dele
gates to the Republican national con
vention from the S'xth congressional
district takes rlace it will be found
that Delaware will give unqualified
support to J. Herbert Ogden, of Lans
downe, for national delegate and ex
Congressman John R. Robinson, of
Media, will be his alternate. Joseph
J. Morris, of Uwchlan township, will
probably be the alternate for Chester
county's delegate. Manufacturer Beale.
The same satisfactory condition of
affairs exists in Montgomery county,
where the insurgents are like 'Brer
Rabbit, "lyin' low." They do not see
daylight in the future for caucus bolt
ers and party wreckers, and they re
gard this as a fitting time to take to
the woods. The talk of opposition to
Joseph Bosler for delegate to the Re
publican national convention from this
county has ceased, and with the an
nouncement that County Chairman
Solloy would not be a candidate against
him, Mr. Bosler has now a clear field.
Over In the adjoining county of Bucks,
which is Included in the same congres
sional district, another good Republi
can, Joseph R. Grundy, of Bristol, will
be chosen to go to the national con-.
vention, and there is not even a whis
per of opposition to his candidacy. He,
too, is a "regular" of the most approv
ed type.
REEDER'S FRIENDS CONTROL.
Up in Northampton county the sup
porters of General Frank Reeaer,
chairman of the Republican state com
mittee, have been strengthened since
their recent contests, In all of which
they were triumphant, and there is not
the ghost of a show for the Insurgents
of the Fllnn-Martln school to make
any headway in this locality. The Re
publican committee of Northumber
land met last Saturday and fixed upon
the dates upon which the conventions
shall be held. The meeting was en
tirely harmonious, and the Btalwarts
were In undisputed control of the situa
tion. They decided that the conven
tion to name the delegates to the state
and national conventions shall be held
on April 27 next, and the convention to
nominate candidates for the general
assembly on Aug. 27. W. H. Woodln,
of Berwick, is mentioned for national
delegate from this county. This dis
trict will be carried by an overwhelm
ing majority by the regulars at the
coming primaries.
A very satisfactory condition of affairs
was brought about .n Snyder coun
ty on Saturday last at the meeting of
the Republican standing committee.
Dr. B. F. Wagonsellpr, of Selln's Grove,
withdrew as a candidate for state sen
ator and Benjamin K. Focht, editor of
The Saturday News, of Lewisburg,
Union county, was the only candidate
registered for state senator. The ticket
named to be voted at the primaries on
the 24th Inst, also includes Congress
man 'Jhnd. M. Mahon, of Franklin, and
Assemblyman Albert M. Smith, of
Adamsburg, both for renomlnatlon.
Mr. Focht, it is believed, will have a
walkover for the state senate.
YORK'S REGULARS SANGUINE.
Another situation which gave no en
couragement to Mr. Flinn is presented
In York county. Here supporters of
the regular state organization have
been setadily growing stronger every
year. They have twice beaten James
A. Dale, who is again mentioned for
delegate to the national convention.
Chairman John F. Kell, of the Repub
lican county committee, reports that
the approaching presidential campaign
is being looked forward to by Republi
cans as a time to stand by the organ
ization, both county, state and nation
al, and that there will be little difficul
ty in the stalwart element of York
electing enough delegates at the pri
maries to Insure the selection of a
representative Republican of the true
blue type to the national convention.
It looks as though Lawyer D. K. Trim
mer will be the winner.
In Lancaster the friends of Secretary
of the Commonwealth GrleBt have
everything their own way, and in Leb
anon, though there are signs of a con
test, the regulars are very hopeful of
winning. There has never been any
question of the outcome in Dauphin
county, and Lehigh. Cumberland, Ju
niata, Perry, Berks and the other coun
ties close to this city or Philadelphia
the success of the talwart element
may be taken for granted.
On the whole Mr. Fllnn's trip east
was not calculated to inspire him and
his friends with confidence in a bril
liant political future.

Itrpiltlienn f'liiha Are Making Great

(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, Feb. 13. Within the
last few days great strides have been
made in the matter of the arrange
ments for the Republican national con
vention. Mayor Ashbrldge's plan for
the consolidation of the Citizens' asso
ciation and the committee of repre
sentative citizens which he appointed
when he found there was doubt about
the success of the original scheme, has
been put into operation, and now there

"After doctors failed to cure me of
pneumonia I used One Minute Cough
Cure and three ottles of it cured me. It
is also the best remedy on earth for
whooping cough. It cured my grand
children of the worst cases," writes John
Berry, Loganton, Pa. It is the only
harmless remedy that gives immediate
results. Cures coughs, folds, croup, and
throat and lung troubles. It prevents
consumption. Children always like it.
Mothers endorse it. Heath A Killiner.
Goo. Barbe, Mendota, Vt., says, "No h
ingdid me so much good as Kodol Dys
pepsia Cure. One dose relieved me, a
lew bottles cured mo." It digests what
you eat and always cures dyspepsia.
Ilea' u A Killiner,
ed to carry out the promises made to
the Republican national committee In
the name of Philadelphia. This means
that the $100,000 promised to meet all
expenses of the convention and other
obligations ot the national commit
tee will be forthcoming and that the
reputation of the Quaker City for hos
pitality and liberality will be fully
maintained in this particular. .
Mayor Ashbridge has demonstrated
again that he is full of business snap
and energy, and that he is capable of
rising to meet any emergency. He has
practically taken charge of the whole
arrangements; that is, he has under
taken to see that they are carried out
and he has named practical, experi
enced business men who will give their
time and money to the advancement of
the convention project, so that every
Pennsylvanian will have occasion to
feel proud of the leading city of the
1th after thn convention
bli!ill hnva tipen hplri. I S
While the business men are busy
gathering the subscriptions to make up
the fund the rank and file of the Re
publican organization of this city are
at work preparing for the" entertain
ment of the visitors who will be in at
tendance at the convention. They
have organized the Allied Republicans,
composed of representatives of about
a hundred Republican clubs of this
city, and they are planning for the
most comprehensive series of enter
tainments ever attempted in any na
tional convention city. With no ex
ception, Philadelphia will outrank all
the cities in which conventions to
name presidential candidates have
been held. No club or delegation will
be overlooked. It is proposed to have
reception committees at all the rail
way stations upon the arrival of the
several delegations with brass bands
to escort them to their respective head
quarters. Committees are already in
correspondence with leading Republi
cans of the country in order that they
may know their arrangements in re
gard to accommodations while in this
city. It is proposed to prepare a list
overlng every state delegation and
club or other body of visitors coming
to this city and have full information
in advance of their departure from
home, their plans en route and their
arrangements for headquarters while
in this city. By this plan the dele
gations and eluhs can be allotted to the
several organizations of this city and
each will be assigned to a club, which
will see that the hospitalities of the
city are cordially and properly extend
ed. J. Hampton Moore, president of the
State League of Republican clubs, is
at the head of the Allied Republican
clubs. He has associated with him
some of the most active and represent
ative men In the local organization,
and they are conducting their prelim
inary work in a businesslike manner.
Already they have heard from a
number of organizations, and It is ex
pected that as soon as the next week's
election shall be over club matters will
boom at a lively rate. The allied clubs
have opened permanent headquarters
at the rooms of the Union Republican
club and these headquarters, which are
on Broad street, almost across the
street from the Academy of Music, will
be open day and night until the con
vention meets. Local Republicans who
are interested in any delegation or
wish Information as to headquarters
ot any club will be able to procure in
formation from this bureau, which
is established under the auspices ot
the allied clubs.
All the suburban parks are making
elaborate preparations for special en
tertainments in anticipation of the at
tendance of large crowds, and there is
reason to believe the managers ot these
enterprises will not be disappointed.
Atlantic City has a special commit
tee appointel to draw visitors to that
resort, and there is no doubt that
many thousands ot visitors, especially
those from the south and the west, will
not miss this opportunity to visit the
"Brighton of America."
AS TO SECOND PLACE.
The uncertainty as to the probable
nominee for vice president continues
to be the absorbing topic of discussion.
Many leading Republicans are being
proposed for this honor and the party
leaders who will ultimately have the
selection of the winner will not give
an ikling as to what will be done In
this connection. Possibly they have not
agreed upon a man for second place
It would be good politics for them to
defer a selection in this matter until
the situation shall develop a favorite.
It would be quite like Senator Hanna,
who will be an important factor in de-
elding the winner, to' wait develop
ments and a short time before the
date of the convention pick the man
who at that time shall be regarded as
the most available candidate.
Governor Roosevelt Is by many look
ed upon as the strongest man that
could bs chosen for second place. Some
of his admirers want him to keep oft
the ticket this year and reserve hint'
self as a presidential candidate four
jears hence. Otbws who hope to see
the "Rough Ridei- president some day
think he should o. isider well the sug
gestlon that he vo named for vice
president this year. Some believe that
his election to t.j vice presidency
would place him In line for first place
four years from now. He would be
placed in a position, they argue, which
would relieve him from responsibilities
vhlch he must encounter in the gov
ernor's chair in the Empire state where
by a false move he may ruin his
chances for the presidency. The vice
presidency is not fraught with many
important duties, and the incumbent ot
the office is not apt to make antag
cnisma which would Interfere with his
political aspirations.
While no one can tell what Roose
velt's attitude will be next June, there
is a field of aspirants who leave no
room to doubt their desire to run on
the ticket -villi President McKinley
Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, is
being boomed extensively lately. At
torney General Griggs, of New Jersey,
has had his qualifications for the vice
presidency exploited to some extent
and Secretary of War Root and half
a dozn others all have friendu who are
missing no opportunity to keep them
to the front In the canvass for the sec
end place on the national ticket. It is
probably well that such a condition
exists, as otherwise the stimulating In
fluence of a contest for convention hon
ors would be lacking and the con
vcntlon gathering would be deprived
of an Interesting feature.
