WANAMAKERISM
IS A HEAVY LOAD

(Sj i.-olal Cc-.iTcsponJcnce.l
Philadelphia. Frl). 20. The real
leai'ers of the insurgent Republican
forres in this state are making another
effort to unload John Wanamaker.
They find that their cause is being
seriously handicapped by Wanamaker's
unpopularity and that many people are
besinnins to look upou the agitation
ngiiinst the leaders of the regular Re
publican organization as inspired and
sustained principally by Wanamaker.
"Pill" riinn, of Pittsburg, and "Dave"
Martin, of this city, who are the force
ful factors in this anti-organization
movement within nnd without the Re
publican party, come in contact with
the people, and they find that the hos
tility to Wanamaker is far reaching.
While they, too. as practical politicians
of tlie most pronounced type, recognize
the fact that they ore not in good odor
with the people, they have convinced
themselves that they can make much
more headway if they can only per
suade the Republican voters that their
campaigning is not solely for the per
sonal advamenient of Wanamaker In
his political ambitions. The voters
have come to regard Wanamakerism
as meaning absolutely nothing more
nor less than personal politics of the
most personal character. They see the
atr.nity between Wanamakerism and
the Democracy, and they feel that to
follow the Wanamaker standard may
lead any one into the Democratic
puny, or at least Impair one's useful
ness and stnnding in the Republican
organization.
UUIHMtMCAXS DO NOT FORGET.
Republicans of Pennsylvania do not
forget the efforts of the Wanamaker
leaders to bring about the nomination
of Judge Cordon, of this city, for gov
ernor by the Democratic convention,
with the avowed purpose of the Wan
amaker adherents to support him at
the polls in the hope of defeating Colo
nel Stone, the regular Republican nom
inee for tlie governorship. They recall
the activity of the Wanamaker Inter
ests in afterwards booming Jenks, who
secured the Democracy's nomination
for governor. They still have fresh in
mind ihe fact that throughout the last
session of the legislature the Wan
amakerites were in constant communi
cation with the (iuffey Democrats on
the United States senatorship. They
now find all the Wanamaker Influence
In this city arrayed against the regu
lar Republican ticket at the election
being held today, and at Washington
the Wanamaker representatives are
working in conjunction with J. K.
Jones, of Arkansas, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, to pre
vent the seating of Colonel Quay upon
the tertificato of Governor Stone.
While leaders of both sides of the
United States senate hold this ques
tion of the right of Colonel Quay to
this seat to be purely a constitutional
issTie anil one which should be de
termined only after an impartial con
sideration of the constitutional ques
tions involved, the Wanamakerites, for
their own personal and political Inter
ests, are seeking to line up the Demo
crat ! United States senators against
Colonel Quay. To do this the argu
ment Is being used that If Colonel
QiK'y shall not be seated the Demo
cia's. Iiv divisions among the Penn
sylvania Republicans, may yet elect
Co! nel (iufley to the senate.
Knowing that the Republicans of
Pennsylvania are aware of the tactics
of the Wanamakerites, and believing
tlifit many of them are holding John
Wnnamaker responsible for this condi
tion o( aiiaii", the other Interests in
the iiiMitireut cause are demanding that
Wanamaker shall write a letter which
tli? people can i-.cc;pt as recording his
retirement from the leadership of the
instil cents and which shall set forth
that be Is not an aspirant or a candi
i':Ue lor the United States senatorship.
i-'olloweis of Klinn and Martin believe
that, such a letter will help them in the
contests in certain districts in this
county, as well as in other localities
wli' ie Wanamakerism Is very unpopu
lar. THAT FORTHCOMINGS LETTER.
It has been slated in certain news
papers that a letter from Wanamaker
i:;i:y be forthcoming within a few days,
nnd that ii will say that he has no
ipirations to hold public office.
Such a deliverance from Wanamaker
headquarters will, however, be regard
ed as simply a play to the galleries, as
if is known that after the hostility
sNnvn to Wanamaker as a candidate
for I nked States senator last winter
at Tlarrisburg, even from men allied
with the insurgent movement, close
friends of Wanamaker quietly Imparted
the Information that Wanamater was
t.ol a candidate to succeed Colonel
Quay in tiie United States senate. They
said that by keeping up the agitation
agiiinst the leaders of the regular Re
publican organization he expected to
lilag about a condition of affairs
through wlich he could be elected to
ihe senate to succeed Senator Penrose
vhen liift term expires and when the
asiein section of the state shall be
t titled to name his successor. By de-chii-inx
in favor of Magee or some
otl.'-r n-e.siern man for the Quay vacan
cy Wanamaker's campaigners hoped to
kep rhe Flinn influence in line with
Ihem In their efforts to break through
the lines of the regular Republican or
gaiiizaiion. It would suit the purposes
i.-f tl.e Wanamaker boomers to have a
tot like Oiiffey, from the western
M'lii.in n the state, elected to the
nay seai They would then deprive
the f ri, nils of ti,,. Heaver statesman of
the pntiUn which they would have
.-ill. ''eiiuni Qiiiiy occimvine BBat
Washington, and thev u-nnll
thereby make possible the election of
more fusion tickets for the legislature
later on. The more regular Republi
can candidates for the legislature this
combination of the Wanamaker-Guffey
Interests could defeat the greater
would be their combined strength at
Harrlsburg to carry out any deal on
the senatorship when the time arrived
for the selection of an eastern man
for the Penrose seat.
IT IS UP TO WANAMAKER.
Practical politicians look to Wana
maker to carry out the idea of writing
a letter which will leave the impression
that he is not a candidate for the sena
torship. While with this plan of cam
paign the insurgent movement would
not be deprived of any of its financial
resources, they would apparently have
unloaded Wanamakerism and thus
help to strengthen their lines wherever
Wanamakerism Is unpopular to the
extent of weakening their cause at the
primaries and the general elections.
Wranamakerism would n,ot suffer, as
the stronger the Insurgent forces are
the greater will be their opportunities
ol helping him to his ultimate ambi
tion, an election to the United States
senate to succeed Boies Penrose.
It Is now "up to Wanamaker," and
his forthcoming letter will be read
with Interest should he act upon the
suggestion of the Fllnn-Martin lead
ership. $25,000 FOR HANNA.
Philadelphia Republicans are more
than ever proud of Mayor Ashbrldge
since he sent down to Washington a
few days ago a check for $25,000, being
the first payment by citizens of Phila
delphia to Chairman Hanna of money
promised to the Republican national
committee when the committees from
this city went to get the Republican
national convention. Through the pre
liminary arrangements falling into in
experienced hands there was for a
time grave doubts as to the success of
the convention project, not because of
any unwillingness of the cltliens to
subscribe the funds, but because the
men who were at the head of the move
ment did not know how to go about
enlisting the sympathies of the people.
Now things have changed, and every
day brings additional evidence of the
fact that this is one of the most pa
triotic, public spirited and broad
gauged cities in the Union. There will
be no trouble In raising the $100,000
which was guaranteed the Republican
national committee. This fund will be
devoted to meeting the expenses of the
Republican national convention and the
balance will go to meet the general ex
penses of the national committee. Most
cf the surplus will be spent In the dis
tribution of Hwature in an education
al campaign preparatory to the nomi
nation of President McKInley.

Harrlsburg, Feb. 20. There Is a hot
contest under way at the Republican
prlmamry election being held today in
Jefferson county. The struggle is im
portant because it is practically the
first real struggle since the reopen
lne of hostilities within the party or
ganization. The insurgents under the
leadership of William Flinn are mat
lng a bold stand in this city in the
matter of the nomination of a candi
date for the state senate and the se
lection of delegates to the state and
national Republican conventions.
In this senatorial district, composed
of Jefferson and Indiana counties, the
candidates for senator are nominated
by popular vote In both counties. Jef
ferson county has had the senator for
eight years in the person of J. O.
Mitchell, and by common consent the
nomination has been conceded to In
"diana county. The regular Republi
cans are running John S. Fisher, and
the insurgents are backing J. W. Mor-
tow. Fisher Is the close friend of At-
torney General Elkin, who Is backing
him in the fight. Flinn has been in
consultation with the disgruntled poll
ticlans of Jefferson county, and a
bountiful campaign fund has been sup
plied. Nothing is being left undone
by these party wreckers to break into
the district.
As the contest here Is the first fight
in the state they are not sparing
money or anything else to win. The
county is overrun with agents of the
Pittsburg boss in support of Morrow,
Everything that money can do is being
done to defeat the stalwarts.
But notwithstanding all this the reg
ulars expect to win a complete victory.
The Republicans of Jefferson county
do not believe in guerrilla tactics in
politics. They do not like "reformers
of the Flinn stamp. Flinn's connec
tion with the campaign has materially
Jiurt the insurgent cause. He may run
Pittsburg, but he will fall to make
any impression on the Republicans of
Jefferson. Fisher and the whole
straightout Republican ticket will win.
Senator Mitchell and the friends of the
attorney general will send in satisfac
tory returns from this county.
LANCASTER ANTIS DISCOURAGED,
There were several conferences dur
lng the week of leading anti-Quay Re
publicans of Lancaster county, with a
view of making a fight against the
stalwarts' legislative slate. The "antis
did not meet with much encourage'
ment in quarters where they expected
It, and the movement has been prac
tically abandoned. Senator Milton
Eby was willing to allow the use of his
name for the legislature, conditional
on A. C. Baldwin, a business man and
former member of the legislature, be
coming his running mate. Mr. Bald
win declined for business reasons and
the proposed opposition to Quay in the
southern district fell through. There
was no effort made to get out any
anti-Quay candidates in the northern
or city districts.
The slated stalwart legislative ticket
'After doctors failed to cure me of
nneumunla 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
Berrv. Loiianton. Pa. It Is the only

Js: Senator, Milton Heldelbaugh; rep
resentatives, Frank B. McClaln. John
O. Hornsher, William H. Broalus, Bar
ton M. Weaver. H. Burd Cassell and D.
W. Gray. The candidate for recorder
has not yet been slated. Indications
are that Jonas Huber will be decidea
upon. The only other candidate for
this office is John H. Bausman, a for
mer clerk in the office, but he has no
chance of winning.
The national delegates will not be
determined upon until Wednesday.
Secretary of the Commonwealth Grlest
may be one and Isaac W. Slokom the
other. Wednesday next at midnight
is the last day on which candidates
can register to be voted for at the com
ing primary elections.
FOCHT SURE WINNER,
The candidacy of Charles Miller, of
Penn township, Snyder county, for
state senator cannot bring about the
defeat of Benjamin K. Focht. of Union
county, for the Republican nomination
in that district. County Chairman B.
W. Tool says he will not allow Miller
to register in Snyder, as the time limit
expired on February 10, so Focht will
be the only candidate on the ticket for
the primaries here. Focht will secure
the conferees In both Snyder and
I nlon, and having six of the nine. It
will not matter much to him If some
one else captures the conferees In
Northumberland.
At the Republican primary elections
lr Chester county last Saturday, tne
stalwarts won a sweeping victory.
They practically carried the county
without opposition. Horace A. tieaii,
Jr., of Parkesburg, was elected delegate
to the national convention, and Joseph
J. Morris, of Uwchlan, alternate. The
state delegates chosen are as follows:
Northern district. Aaron Lord, of
North Coventry, and Jesse Hall, of
Phoenlxvllle; Southern, Ellis Kirk, or
Oxford, and William T. Dance, of
Franklin; Eastern, William Chalfont,
Jr., of West Chester; Western, Dr.
Thomas Richmond, of East Brandy-
wine, and Elias Bair, of Sadsbury. The
state delegates will Btipport Senator
Hardenbergh for auditor general, ana
present Auditor General McCauley 3
name to the convention for one of the
delegates-at-large to the national con
vention. For congressmen-at-iarge
they will support the men desired by
Colonel Quay.
PLACE FOR "JACK'' ROBINSON.
For the first time since he entered
congress, Congressman Butler will not
have "Fighting Jack" Robinson to con
tend with In his approaching fight for
a third term, and a heavy weight,
therefore, has been lifted off his mind.
With the Delaware Countlan satisfac
torily disposed of, Mr. ButVr's return
tc congress has been made practically
safe, unless complications should arise
in Chester county, which Is not proba
ble. This condition of affairs has been
brought about by the stalwart leaders
of the two counties agreeing to secure
for ex-Congressman Robinson the
pleasant and profitable post of United
States marshal for the Eastern district
of Pennsylvania. Colonel Quay and
Senator Penrose having given their
inorsemcnt to the scheme, all that re
mains to be done Is for President Mc
Klnley to attach his name to the com
mission.
SCHOOL APPROPRIATION PAID.
State Treasurer Beacom has complet
ed the distribution of the school appro
priation for the current fiscal year
ending May 31 next The State fiscal
officers estimate the state revenue for
1900 at $12,121,448.50, or about $600,000
loss than the receipts for 1899.
Mr. Beacom says if business condi
tions continue as good for five years
as they have the past eighteen months
the state will be able, under the pres
ent revenue law, to meet its obligations
but that even the present conditions
will not justify any increase of appro-
prlations. He believes it would be a
mistake to change the present system
of state taxation In Pennsylvania.
The large increase in state revenues
the past year over the previous twelve
months has enabled the state treasurer
to settle promptly all the claims
against the comonwealth.

HE HAD BEEN TO SEA.
Dot Hia Experience Didn't Fit Hint
For Sailing- a Yacht.
A government oiKcial tells this story of
Sam Allerton's experience with his
yacht:
Mr. Allcrton built himself a fine coun
try house on the shores of Lake Geneva.
Wisconsin. It was as fine as anybody s
koine in that locality. When he had the
house about tiuislied, sonic ouc told him
that he would have to have a yacht, not
one of the modern etcum yachts such as
you see down east, but a sailing boat,
He ordered one made and was up at the
lake wheu it reached there. II was
very proud of his yacht, and although he
had never been on one before concluded
that ho would like to take a sail right
way. In his younger days he had gone
fishing a time or two iu a canoe and in
that way had learned the rudiments of
steering a bout, so he concluded to take
the helm. looking over the group of
loungers that hnd gathered about, he
shouted out the inquiry:
"Who among ns has been to sea?
"I has, sail," said a tall, rawboned col
ored man, stepping forward.
"You'll do for one, said Mr. Allcrton
"Now, who else has been to sea?
Nobody answering, he turned to the
colored man ami ordered him to jump
aboard, saying: "We two will be enough,
We can bundle her."
The sails were set, the boat released
from its moorings, and a start was made,
The wind wax directly offshore and
blowing brisk. Mr. Allerton enjoyed the
sensation hugely and congratulated him
self on the investment he had made. He
was sailing directly before the wind, and
he boomed ahead in splendid style. By
and by they approached the opposite
shore, nnd, after making several frantic
efforts to change the course of the boat,
Mr. Allerton called out to the colored
man "who hud been to sea:
'Here, you! How ure we going to
turn this blamed thing around? I can
do anything with her."
" 'I eed, mister, 1 don't know what to
do. I don t know nothing bout them
there sails."
The two men pulled nnd honied and
perspired, but to no effect, and the yaeh
went on the rocks with a smash. As
Mr. Allerton waded ashore he turned
angrily to the colored man, who dragged
himself dripuiugly after him, and said:
"I thought you told me you had been
to sea?"
"I was, sah; eight years.
"What the deuce did you do at sea?"
"I was a cook, sah." Chicago Post.
There is no better medielne for the ba-
bi es than Chamberlains Cough Remedy.
Its pleasant taste and prompt and effect
