QUAY'S FRIENDS SCORE VICTORIES Great Triumph in Jefferson Coun ty in a Popular Vote at Re publican Primaries. FLIXN INSURGENTS ROUTED. rhutrr and Snyder Line t'p With the StMlrnirta, and In Lancaster the noltfrn Wisely Withdraw Prom the Field and Leave Reolar ia Wsolute and I'ndlnpoted Control. (Special Correspondence.) Harrisburg. Feb. 27.- Republicans of four counties, through their respective organizations, "Jast week went on rec ord as standing ty tho Btalwart leader ship of the Republican party in this commonwealth. As this action is the first taken in tho contest for the con trol of the next legislature, which will b called upon to elect a successor to Colonel Quay in the United States sen ate, the outcome must bo regarded as especially Important at this time. The most pronounced stalwart vic tory and one which has far reaching significance was th.it won in Jefferson county, where a clean cut contest was decided by a popular vote. It was not merely a half hearted support of the present Republican leadership nor a perfunctory indorsement of Colonel Quay, but a full, positive aud emphatic declaration from the Republicans of the county that they are In favor of major ity rule and have no sympathy with the insurgent movement. Jefferson and Indiana counties com pose a state senatorial district. They do not elect delegates to a convention, but they vote directly for the candidate, and the candidate for state senator se curing the majority of votes in the two counties wins the nomination. Jef ferson on Tuesday last led off, and had the honor of being the first county in Pennsylvania to pass upon the United States senatorship. So important was this fight to be that William Flinn, the Pittsburg boss and contractor. Invaded the county with his agents, and did his utmost to carry the election. Jefferson county has had the sena tor for elrht years. Under the rota tion system the office now goes to In diana county. John S. Fisher was named by the stalwart Republicans as their candidate. The insurgents and bolters named Dr. Morrow, and both names were submitted to the voters of Jefferson county. Money was sent Into the county in large amounts.The same kind of political management that is used In Pittsburg to keep Flinn in power and in contracts was used In Jefferson. 1 he result was a most pro nounced victory for the stalwarts. Not only did they choose Mr. Fisher as their candidate for state senator, but they named their choice for congress, and elected their delegates to the state convention. Nothing could be fairer than the system in use in Jefferson county. All Republican voters are called upon to go to the polls and make their direct choice between candidates. It Is sim ply a question of majority rule, and the majority in Jefferson county has been cast overwhelmingly for Senator Quay. There is no use in mincing words about the matter. The fight was between Quay and his opponents, his opponents have simply been slaughtered, and Mr. Flinn has been sent back to Pittsburg defeated in the very first engagement of the legislative campaign. The majorities for the out and out Quay supporters were in many cases lareer than the total vote polled for their Insurgent opponents. The Im portance of this vlctorv for the stal wart Republican element Is emphasized by the fact that it was announced after the last insurgent conference In Phila delphia thnt Flinn had undertaken the contract tn manage the anti-Quay cam paign in seven counties Jefferson, In diana. Mercer, Armstrong, Lawrence, Butler and Reaver and great claims were made as to what Flinn was going to do. THE ISSUE PLAINLY PUT. That there could be no mistake as to the issue raided bv the Flinn campaign ers, thev sent to every Republican voter in the county a circular letter through the mails, which was headed "Republicanism versus Quaylsm." It was an appeal direct to the people, and the people pave their answer on Tues day last, at the polls. Fisher won by a majority of over 2.500 over Morrow. This was the principal issue involved as the state senator to be elected next November will not only have an oppor tunity to vote to elect Colonel Quay's successor, but also for the successor to Senator Penrose. W. O. Smith, a Quay leader of the county, defeated Alexan der Fruit for congress by 1.800 majori ty, and the national delegate and all the delegates to the state convention are supporter" of Colonel Quay, and they were elected bv majorities rang ing from 1."i)0 to 2.000. As Jefferson county is in the sena torial district in which Attorney Gen eral John P. Elkln resides, this distin guished son of Indiana was warmly congratulated by local Republican leaders who called upon him here upon learning the news from Jefferson eotinty. ROUT OF PARTY WRECKERS. Editor A. T. Moorehead, of the Indi ana Pro'Tess, in discussing Mr. Fish er's victory for senator in Jefferson, said: "The Flinn forces were routf d horse, foot and dragoon. They marched up the hill with torn toms loudly beating and banners proudly flying, but they retreated down the hill with such un due haste and In such disorder that the provision train and supply f aroris were lost In the Uig Sandy. The general issimo of the Flinn campaign mana gers, owing to the fatigue Incident to the forced marches up the kops and kopjes of that county now lies hors du combat. It was a memorable contest, and will live long In the political his tory of our neighbor county. H is the opening gun of the campaign in the state. It is the first county to be In vaded by the Flinn outfit. It was the first primary to test the strength be tween straightout Republicans, who believe in majority rule, and the polit ical Irimirpntit , ,n are DVemnt'np to break up the Republican party.

Ha nsks the people to win at the primaries if they can, but if they fail he wants them to join the with Democrats and defeat the party to which he owes his allegiance. The Issue was fought out along these lines. The result Is a vin dication of the regular Republicans. It ought to be an Inspiration to Re publicans who are fighting the same kind of battles in other counties. The people believe In majority rule. They believe In party organization, and will not support the men who are endeavor ing to break down the party that has done so much for the development of this rountrv. Mr. Fisher Is to be con gratulated on the splendid vindication he received from the Republicans of Jefferson county. Indiana county will do better." Indiana county will vote upon the state senatorship at the coming pri maries, and, as in Jefferson, the rules call for a popular vote. There will be no reason to charge the so-called ma chine with the victory which Is assured Mr. Fisher, as the people will ballot with the issue squarely defined. Mr. Fisher will probably carry Indiana county by at least 2.500 majority, and It Is possible, since the outcome of the Jefferson county fight, that the Flinn men will conclude to save money and not make a fight. Their campaign in Jefferson was a very expensive prop osition. MILLIONAIRE COMBINE BEATEN. "As between Quay and any repre sentative of the Flinn-Martin bolters The Inquirer has always contended that the people would prefer Quay," said the editor of the Philadelphia In quirer in commenting upon the Jeffer son county primaries. "They have no use for any pretender of the hypocrit ical insurgent millionaire machine. This millionaire machine talks loudly about reform, but its reform consists In buying votes, and in making Its way through intrigue, corruption and po litical Infamy. Dr. Morrow, as the representative of such an Infamous machine, has been defeated, and we think that that machine will find the people arrayed against it wherever it undertakes to control. That machine is dead in Philadelphia; it is dead in Delaware county, and it Is practically dead in Chester county. As a matter oi fact the insurgents who bolted the Republican caucus at Harrisburg are everywhere looked upon with disfavor. The one thing left for the Insurgents to do is to join the Democrats In fusion tickets. They have been beaten outright in Jefferson county, and now it Is only in harmony with their past actions to support the Democratic can didate. As a matter of fact, this Is exactly what the insurgents intend to do everywhere. They will contest the primaries In the different counties. When they are beaten out and out, as they will be, they will join the Demo crats. In other words, if they cannot rule they will attempt to ruin, and the candidate of the bolters of the Fllnn Martin stripe is the candidate of the Democrats, and that man Is the free silver Democratic leader of Pennsylva nia, James M. Guffey." CHESTER AND SNYDER. That Chester county is still very much in the stalwart column was amply demonstrated at the meeting of the Republican county convention last week. There was not a single dissent ing voice to the resolutions offered en dorsing the policy of President McKin ley and Governor Stone making the following declaration as to Colonel M. S. Quay: "We reaffirm our allegiance to the matchless Republican leadership of Hon. Matthey Stanley Quay and depre cate the fact that the United States senate has not yet taken favorable ac tion on the certificate of Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay, of Pennsylvania, and given to him the seat and to the people of Pennsylvania the representation to which they are entitled and guaran teed in the senate of the United States by the constitution." This declaration from the Republi can convention of Chester county must have been a hard blow to Flinn and his colleagues. It was a notable feature of the Ches ter county convention that the former bolters were absent. In fact, they were not represented from a single precinct in the county. The Republicans have announced their choice for senator and members of the legislature by publishing the list far In advance of the primaries, which will not be held until June. At this time the Chester county bolters from the party are doing noth ing whatever. They say they are awaiting developments and will get Into the fight after a time when they get matters properly shaped. The Democrats, however, seem to have got ten enough of fusion at the last elec tion, and It seems almost impossible for Chairman Cavanaugh to get them into line for another such farce. With out them the bolters will of course have no show. The pledge which all Republican candidates are now re quired to sign by the chairman of the county committee will prevent any de feated candidate upon the regular ticket, should he become disgruntled, from forming an alliance with the bolt ers in any movement they should make. Snyder county's Republican primar ies were held last Saturday. They passed off quietly. The only contests In the different districts were for the local committeemen. The following randidates were nominated without op position: For congress, Thad M. Ma hon; assembly, A. M. Smith; senator, H. K. Focht; prothonotary, G. M. Shin del; register and recorder. J. H. Wil lits. Dr. P. Herman defeated G. W. Wagonseller for national delegate. This action of the Snyder county Republicans Insures the nomination of Benjamin K. Focht, editor of the Lew isburg Saturday News, a stalwart Re publican of Union county, for state senator. LANCASTER STALWART AS EVER. In Lancaster county the last day upon which candidates for the leg islature could register for the Repub lican primaries has passed, and there was not a single opponent placed in the field against any of the regular can didates for the state senate or the house of representatives. This, with Ihe triumphant election of a stalwart Republican, Dr. Henry E. Muhlen berg as mayor rif Lanciist?r, and the Prospective appointment of another talwatt as postmaster of that city, "After doctors failed to cure me of pneumonia I used One Minute Cough Cure and three ' ottU's of it cured me. It Is also tbe best remedy on earth for wnouping 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, colds, croup, and throat and lung troubles." It prevents consumption. Children alwavs like It. Mothers endorse it.

No party wreckers can cut any figure In Lancaster. ANOTHER CASE OF INSURGENT BLUFF Penrose Promptly Discounts a Story Sent Out by the Flinn Martin Combine. PHILADELPHIANS NOT FOOLED Remit ot the Klcetlofi, in 'Which t)nny Man Led the Republican Ticket, Shows That the Effort to Make the Organisation Responsi ble for Flection Fraud Was t. nccesHfnl. . Philadelphia, Feb. 27. It was with great exultation that the Insurgent press bureau sent out through the state last week a story to the effect that Colonel Quay's case In the United States senate had been side tracked and that It could not possibly be brought up at this session ot congress While they may not have believed what they wanted the people of the state to believe, the insurgents thought that this was a splendid card to play for effect upon the Republican primary elections throughout the Comonwealth and at which they are endeavoring to break through the lines of the stal wart Republican element. The guer rilla politicians, who know no allegi ance to any organization, except their own personal political machine, did not know that while their newspaper allies, few In number though they be, were printing this story of Colonel Quay being bowled out. Senator Pen rose had his plans carefully laid to bring the case up In the United States Senate on Friday last. This he did and despite the schemes of a few Senators who are leading the opposi tion to the Beaver statesman, to side track the case, the young Pcnnsylva nian fought with tact and spirit and he finally won by a vote of 34 to 28 and the case was called up for discus sion. This showing was a surprise to the enemies of Colonel Quay, as among those voting against the consideration of the matter at that time, were sev. eral Senators who are on record as having said they will vote to seat Col onel Quay when the matter comes up for final action. These men for one reason or another opposed considera tion of the Quay case on that day but all of them have Blnce said they will vote to seat him when the issue is reached for on a final vote. PENROSE A GOOD FIGHTER. Senator Penrose made a strong showing on the floor. He advanced the proposition, first of all. that the claim of the senator to a seat was a ques tion of the highest, privilege, and was entitled to be brought up whenever any senator desired to discuss It.- He claimed that no vote was required whatever. A ruling upon this point was not made. The presiding officer Indicated that If he were forced to make a ruling it would be against Sen ator Penrose's proposition. Senator Hoar and one or two others were anxious that the point should be met. A long discussion would have resulted and both Penrose and Chandler were prepared to debate the question, but the point was temporarily shelved, when Mr. Penrose made the simple mo tion that the Quay credentials be taken up. Senator Daniel, of Virginia, made the opening speech in favor of Sena tor Quay. His contention was that a governor has a right to appoint at any time when there is a vacancy and the legislature is not in session. It was an elaborate address, and the senator was well fortified with quotations. There does not seem to be any desire to supplant the Hawaiian question, for as only a few speeches are to be made, they can be made before 2 o'clock, the hour when the regular order begins. The Indications are that the matter will be put to a vote within a short time and there is every reason to be lieve that Senator Quay will be seated by a good majority. The New York Herald's Washington correspondent wires his paper that there is no doubt about Colonel Quay being seated upon Governor Sone's credentials. The local election in this city last week resulted in the election of every man on the Republican city ticket. There were only candidates for magis trates running, but a bitter fight was made against them by the Insurgent Republicans and by other men who have se'iish ends to serve politically and who have been arrayed against the leadership of the Republican party In the state because they have not been allowed to have their way in the matter of the distribution of the favors of the Republican organization. These men found as the campaign progressed that the people did not believe the re ports which were Intended to hold the Republican party responsible for the election frauds which were unearthed In a couple of election precincts In the slum districts of this city. The think ing and honest voters realized that conditions exist in every large city in the quarters of the depraved elements which naturally result In election frauds, of the men accused of stuff ing the ballot boxes three were found guilty as the results of investigations and prosecutions by Republican of ficials and they are now serving their time in prison. The people evidently did not take any stock In the attempts to make the Republican party organi zation responsible for these frauds. Of the Republican candidates for mag istrate Magistrate Cunningham, a pro nounced Quay supporter, who had been the subject of almost dally attacks during the campaign waged by the In surgent newspapers, polled the high est vote at the election. He was the only candidate who received over 100, uuu votes. The Republican organization comes out of the last contest stronger than ever and will be found with repre sentatives from almost every district from this city acting with the leaders of the regular Republican state or-1 ganizatlon at the coming state conven tion. I There is no better med icine for the ba bies than Chamberlains Cough Remedy. It pleasant taste and prompt and effect ual cures make it a favorite with moth er' aud small children. It quickly cures (heir coughs and colds, preventing pneu monia or other serium consequences. It also cures croup and has been usod in tens of thousands of case without a sin gle failure so far as we have been able to learn. It not only cures croup, but wh -n given as soon as tho croupy cough ap pears, will prevent the attack. In cases of whooping cough it liquefies the tough mucus, making it easier to expectorate, and lessen tho severity and frequency of the paroxisms of coughing, thus depriv ing that dioease of all dangerous conse quences.
