Ibirrlslmrg, S.-pt. 18 Since the can-
i .iss for members of the legislature
Ikkmu there has been nothing which
Ins directed attention more to the
fully of the fusion advocates than the
result of the primary elections In
Philadelphia..
Ilepnblii'uns have been impressed
with the idea that there Is but one
UihiK to do and that Is to vote the
fti-ailit Republican ticket. To do
ui hei wise is to help the Democratic
politicians who are working to elect
ivmocrats to congress and to carry
what would ordinarily be Republican
legislative districts.
The Martin men in Philadelphia and
the Klinn supporters in Pittsburg may
have lluir own interests to serve, but
tiny do not represent true Republican
ism. The more Republicans consider
the mailer of fusion the less they find
!u it to the advantage of their party.
lUCMOt'ltATS ARE ACTIVE.
IVmoi tats by their action in Phila
delphia have shown that they are eager
to carry into effect the fusion deals, be
cause they are all likely to help the
Democratic candidates for state or na
tional ullices.
Congressmen J. K. P. Hall, of Elk,
and Kufus K. Polk, of Montour, were
conspicuous in the conferences at Phil
adelphia last week, and, together with
Chairman Rilling, of the Democratic
slate committee, they mapped out
plans for the success of their candi
dates for utate offices and for con
gress. The conferences between the Demo
crats and the Insurgent Republican
leaders in the state are all held at
hotels in Philadelphia. These alleged
Republicans are afraid to go to the
regular headquarters of the Demo
tratic party. They sneak into the
holds where the Democratic state
chairman or National Committeeman
(lulTey are stopping. Without any one
hnott in;? that they nre there, they con
coct seemes to defeat the regular Re
publican candidates for the legislature
who might vote against the choice for
Vniied Slates senator.
Ol-KKKY IS ANXIOUS.
Ciiiffey and Rilling are anxious to
protect their Republican allies, so they
make as much mystery as possible
about their conferences.
Congressman Hall Is interested in
tiie effort to defeat the Republican
candidates for the legislature in Cen
t ii and Clearfield cotfhtles, as he
recognized the fact that the greater
tli" Republican dissensions In these
counties the greater will be the op
portunity to get Republican votes for
itu Hi niocratic candidate for congress. '
In Congressman Polk's district the
Democrats are getting the Insurgent
Republicans to help defeat B. K. Focht
for t ho stale senate. They want to
divide the Republican forces so as to
help (luffey to get a Democrat in the
htaie uciiate from this district. Guffey
believe s that he can elect former Con
giessman Wolverton, and In so doing
he can help his candidacy for the Uni
ted states senate.
Since the Republican primaries in
Philadelphia the insurgents have not
been so enthusiastic. They do not
know where they are at. At present
writing they feel very much like giv
ing up the light. Their only hope lies
In a fusion with the Philadelphia De
. iiincrncy, and in this they will be con
fronted with many obstacles.
; - QUAY'S TOUR OF THE STATE.
Interest is taken in the proposed
canvass by Col. M. S. Quay for re
election to the United States senate.
This will be an innovation in political
campaigning, as It will practically be
an inauguration of the proposed sys
tem for the election of United States
senators by popular vote. Col. Quay
will visit a number of counties and
get in touch with the Republican vot
ers. He will make several speeches,
but he s:tys his main purpose is to
mi et the people and discuss party af
fairs with them.
Col. Quay will start out about Oct.
1 and w ill visit different sections of the
Male. He will be accompanied by
sevei al personal and political friends.
He has been embarrassed by the num
ber of invitations he has received, and
will he unable to accept but a few
of them. He will go to Chester coun
ty, win re l,is ancestors lived, and he
is aswi'd of a great reception.
Col. Quay says that he is in favor of
the preposition to have United States
senators elected by popular vote. There
is a plank in the Republican platform
calling for this, and he is heartily in
sympathy with the proposition.
When Col. Quay was a candidate for
ie-oli f tion before he was voted for in
o number of counties at Republican
primaty elections and he has reason
to be proud of the result. He had
large majorities In a number of coun
ties over Congressman John Dalzell,
of Pittsburg, and other opponents.

PENNSYLVANIA WILL BENEFIT.
Pennsylvanlans are naturally inter
ested in the statement from Washing
ton that the exports of the year 1900
are likely to reach $20,000,000 In value,
against $10,000,000 In K96, and $6,000,
000 In 1890. The figures of the treas
ury bureau of statistics show that the
exports of coal from the United States
during the seven months ending with
July, 1900, are 60 per cent in excess
of those during the corresponding
months of last year, and double those
of the corresponding months of 1S98.
In the seven months ending with
July, 1898, the exports of coal from the
United States were 2.375.451 tons; la
the same months of 1S99 they were 3,
006,082 tons, and In the corresponding
months of 1900 they were 4,601.755
tons. During the period from 1S90 to
1900 the exportation of coal from the
United States has quadrupled, but the
principal growth has been in the years
1898, 1899 and 1900.
While this growth is observable In
the exports to all parts of the world,
It Is especially marked with reference
to our exports to the American coun
tries. To Drltish North America the
exports In the seven months of 1S93
were 1,7SS,398 tons and in the seven
months of 1900 3,253,803 tons. To Mex
ico the exports in the seven months
of 1898 were 243.938 tons, and in the
corresponding months of 1900, 415,834
tons. To Cuba the exports have more
than doubled, being in the seven
months of 1898 114,655 tons, and in the
seven months of 1900 241,712 tons;
while to Porto Rico the exports In
creased from 2,621 tons in the seven
months of 1S98 to 15,313 tons in seven
months of 1900. To the Hawaiian Isl
ands the exports of the seven months
of 1899 were 10.3S1 tons, and In the
corresponding months of 1900 21,001
tons, thus more than doubling in a
single year. To the Philippine Islands
the exports in the seven monthhs of
1S98 were 4.810 tons, and in the seven
months of 1900 41,068 tons, or eight
times as much In 1900 as In 1898.
The experiments with American coal
which the Europeans have made within
the last two or three years seem to
have proved successful, as the exports
to Europe, which in the seven months
of 1898 amounted to only 4,507 tons,
were In the corresponding months of
1900 278,572 tons. Of this 187 tons
went to the United Kingdom, 4,028
tons to Germany, 77,407 tons to France
and 196,950 to other European coun
tries. COMPLETE ROUT

Philadelphia, Sept. 18. Philadelphia
Republicans, at the primary elections
last week, administered a crushing
blow to the insurgent element in the
party In Pennsylvania, The more the
flgnrei given in the official returns nre
studie'l the greater will be the signifi
cance of the victory of the stalwarts.
It was a clean cut fight between the
regulars and the Insurgents, and the
Issue was squarely made upon the nom
ination of candidates for the legisla
ture. The city fight was won by the
regulars without a contest, as the fol
lowers of David Martin, before the
voting began, gave up their struggle to
have Martin's friend, Horatio B. Hack
ett, renominated for register of wills.
Had Martin kept Hackett In the fight
he would not have gotten more than
three out of the 41 wards, and this
would have been a most humiliating
spectacle for Martin, who, under the
last city administration, had absolute
control of the party organization.
J. Hampton Moore, president of the
State League of Republican Clubs, was
nominated unanimously for city treas
urer, and Jacob Singer, an able young
attorney and a stalwart Republican,
was named for register of wills. They
are a strong combination and will
make a winning canvass.
MARTIN'S DESPERATE FIGHT.
But the most interest was taken in
the contests for the nomination of can
didates for the general assembly. David
Martin, backed by the Wanamaker
newspaper support, and with the assist
ance of the employes of a number of
the city offices, In which when In power
he placed his friends, made a deter
mined struggle to hold his own In the
delegation to Harrlsburg. Frequent
conferences were held during the can
vass with William Fllnn, of Pittsburg,
and other allies of Martin Ir. the Insur
gent movement In the state.
The followers of David Martin in
Philadelphia and of William Fllnn In
Allegheny comprised a large majority
of the Insurgents, who, by their alli
ance with the Guffey Democrats, made
a deadlock in the last session of the
legislature, and prevented the election
of the Republican caucus nominee for
United States senntor. Flinn, with the
nid of the immense patronage and the
contractors, managed to hold his own in
Pittsburg In the matter of the nomina
tions for the legislature, and he, of
course, wanted to see Martin do like'
wise.
An Immense campaign fund was
raised to back the Insurgent candi
dates for the assembly In his city

turned against the candidates, of the
stalwart element. The newspaper!
carrying the Wanamaker advertising
patronage had their batteries turned
against the stalwart candidates, and
everything possible was done by them
to create the Impression that the favor
ites of the insurgents were the men
who should be elected.
After the campaign had gotten well
under way It was found that there were
seven districts in which there were
contests. In the ofhers the stalwarts
or the insurgents, as the rase might
be, decided to make no opposition to
the candidates whose nominations were
assured.
The contested districts were the Fifth
senatorial and the Twentieth. Twenty-
first, Twenty-fourth. Twenty-sixth,
Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth
representative districts.
A WANAMAKER WATERLOO.
The most notable contest was that
waged in the Fifth senatorial district,
where William H. Berkelbach, an ac
tive young Republican, was the candi
date of the stalwart element, and pitted
aralnst him and hacked by the Martin
Wanamaker Influence was former
Speaker Harry F. Walton. It was a
bitter struggle. Euch side formed a
perfect organization, and every pre
cinct was canvassed thoroughly and
the voters kept posted with the liter
ature of both sides. The Insurgent
newspapers kept up a hot fight for
Walton, but the people soon got to
suspect what Inspired much of the
newspaper syndicate matter and took
It for what It was worth.
In .every one of the contested dis
tricts the Insurgents mnde their fight
nirnlnst the election of Col. Quay to the
United States senate their trump card.
In each of these districts the regulars
made their fight upon stalwart Repub
lican lines. They agreed to support
the successful candidates, no matter
which side won at the primaries.
Each one of the candidates of the
regulars answered In the affirmative
the queries put to all the candidates
by the officers of the Republican city
committee, who were directed to Inter
rogate all aspirants for the legislature
and to Inquire whether In the event of
their ele'tlon they would attend regu
hir caucuses of Republican members of
the legislature and abide by the action
of the majority.
None of the Insurgent candidates,
Walton Included, answered these In
terrogatories from the Republican city
committee. The Republican voters
knew this and they acted accordingly.
Not o single insurgent candidate In
pny of the districts in which there was
a contest was successful. They all
went down In an overwhelming defeat
of Mnrtinlsm-Wanamakerlsm and in
snrpentism of every manner and kind
thnt would fuse with the Democrats to
defeat regular Republicans.
Stnlwnrt Republicans were triumph
ant everywhere
On the nlizht of the primaries a mes
sage was sent to the regular Republi
cans of the commonwealth that those
who snnd by the party organization
have the full sympathy and support of
a large majority of the Republicans of
Philadelphia.
GREAT VOTE POLLED.
There was an Immense vote polled in
every district In which there was a
fight. In some precincts each side had
as many as 20 canvnssers at the polls
wearing badges of their respective can
didates and hurrying voters to the
front, so thnt In the two hours allotted
for the voting they could get as many
votes In as possible. There were as
many as 250 voters In a solid line wait
ing to get In their ballots at some pre
cincts at 7 o'clock. At no general elec
tion ever held In this city was there
ever anything like this seen.
In many precincts the vote polled ex
ceeded thnt at the last gubernatorial
election. Republicans who frequently
neglect to vote at a general election
were gotten to the primaries because
of the Intense rivalry between the fol
lowers of Martin and the regulars.
In the Fifth senatorial district Ber
kelbach. the candidate of the regulars,
won 139 delegates to 49 for Walton.
Many of tho delegates were elected by
a narrow margin of votes. The total
vote In the district wns 21,127 votes for
Berkelbach to 13.174 votes for Walton,
a popular majority of 7,953 for Berkel
bach. Since this humiliating defeat of the
Mnrtlnltes the insurgent newspapers
have been attempting to make it ap
pear thnt a victory for Berkelbach was
won by unfair means, and they point
to the fact that the vote In some cases
exceeds the vote for Governor Stone.
In their effort to explain their defeat
these newspapers overlook the fact
that the vote In the precincts carried
for Walton was correspondingly as
large as was the Berkelbach vote In
precincts carried by the regulars. In
a number of divisions where Walton
delegates were elected the total vote
exceeded the vote cast for Governor
Stone. The Insurgent newspapers do
not refer to his fact, but keep up their
cry of "repeaters" and "false returns"
In order to break the force of their
crushing defeat.
With the nomination of Berkelbach
the regulars named all of the senatorial
tandidates nominated In this city.
The Insurgents, while they did not
name a senator, on the other hand lost
one, because In the district formerly
represented by the late Senator Holz
worth, a follower of David Martin,
the regulars nominated Representative
Gransback, a staunch Quay man, for
state senator.
STALWART REPRESENTATIVES.
The six disputed assembly districts
were all carried by the regulars. In
the Twenty-sixth district on the day
before the primaries Representative
McClellan Hersh, who during the last
session bolted the Republican caucus
and followed Martin Into the Insur
gent enmp, decided that he could not
j,r 0. i.,r , hp TTinnnnred his
withdrawal. B. Frank Bonham, a
stalwait Republican, was nominated in
his place.
In the Twenty-first legislative dis
trict Representative John F. Keator
and another insurgent made a great ef
fort to secure a renomination . Against
him was pitted former Representative
Harrison as a stalwart candidate. Most
of the leaders of the so-called Busi
ness Men's League live In this dis
trict. It was looked upon as a Wan
amaker stronghold. When the votes
were counted Harrison had 30 dele

Thete was a hot contest In the
Twenty-fourth legislative district,
where the Martlnltes tried to prevent
the renomination of Representatives
Adams and Noblit, both of whom had
voted for Col. Quay for United States
senator. Postmaster Hicks lives In this
district. He has been disgruntled be
cause In addition to getting a post
office he was not permitted to boss the
politics of this district. So he Joined
the Martlnltes. Messrs. Adams and
Noblit were both renominated by a
popular vote of 6,884 to 3,273 for the
candidates backed by the Insurgent
combine. Another desperate battle was
fought In the Twenty-seventh legis
lative district, which at the last ses
sion was represented by two insurgents
who bolted the caucus. One of these
members has since fled from the city
with charges aralnst him. The other.
Representative Lauhach, who Is an
employe iu Wanamaker's establish
ment, sought renomination. He wai
beaten to a standstill. The vote In
this district was over five to one In
favor of the successful stalwart can
didates, Messrs. Walter Wlllard and
John Hamilton.
In the Twenty-eighth district the
regulars had a very hard battle to
hold the district. The two members
of the legislature from this district at
the Inst session voted for Col. Quay,
but since that time the leader of the
district fell out with the stalwart lead
ers and Joined the Martlnltes. He had
all the party machinery of the ward
at his back at the outset, and the reg
ulars had to form an entirely new or
ganization. They went to work with
the people at their backs and they won
a marvelous victory. Charles F. Kin
dred was the leader of this district. He
recently secured control of the Phila
delphia Times, and Is at the head of
the corporation which now runs that
newspaper. He used his newspaper
through the fight, and he had the sup
port of the other Insurgent newspap
ers. But when the votes were polled
at the primaries the candidates of the
regular Republicans carried almost
everything before them. Out of the
47 election precincts Kindred carried,
but ten. The popular vote was for the
regular Republican, 5,752, and for the
Kindred Insurgents, 2,966, a majority
of 2,786. The two candidates named
In this district, Messrs. Walter D.
Stone and Thomas F. Connell, will co
operate with the regulars at Harrls
burg. These figures are sufficient to show
the popular sentiment among the Re
publicans of Philadelphia on this issue
between stnlwartlsm and insurgentism.
The' regulars nominated the entire
five candidates for the senate, and of
the 39 candidates for the house of
representatives the regulars nomlnnted
32. The Insurgents have four and
there are three placed In the doubtful
list. The prospects are that these
three will vote with the regulars when
the time conies.
Without the three doubtful members
the regulars thus show a gain of ten
votes in the house and one in the
senate, or eleven In all certain from
Philadelphia, with a chance of hav
ing fourteen.
The effect of this defeat of the In
surgents will no doubt be felt all over
the state. It has given the regulars
encouragement to hope for a complete
victory at the organization of the leg
islature. A POLITICAL CHANGE

Senator Wolcott, who presided over
the Republican national convention,
says a special from Denver, is quite
hopeful of the Republicans carrying
Colorado.
"I have never seen such a change
politically as has taken place In this
state within the past two months,"
said Senator Wolcott. "When I re

It It is possible to do so.
REPUBLICANS STEADILY GAIN
ING. "The Republican party has been
steadily gaining In the last few elec
tions in Colorado. In 1896 we cast
but 14 per cent of the vote. In 1898
we had about 33 per cent and in 1899
40 per cent. The fight among the Dem
ocrats for the senatorshlp has disrupt
ed their party, a great many of the
Sliver Republicans are coming back
to their original allegiance, and some
of the Populists are dissatisfied with
the course taken by their national
leaders. We will carry this state un
less the fusion of the opposition Is
complete. In a three-cornered fight
the Republicans are largely in the ma
jority. It Is interesting to note that
possibly one-half of the candidates on
the Republican ticket this year will be
men who voted for Bryan in 1S96. Iu
that campaign the Stiver Republicans
of Colorado contributed $133,000 to the
national Democratic party. This year
the committee Is disbanded and the
Silver Republicans will not contribute
133 cents to the Democratic treasury.
BRYAN HAS LOST STANDINQ.
"We are all expansionists In Colo
rado. This state furnished a large
quota of soldiers to the Philippines,
and these ex-soldiers are a strong In
fluence In bringing to the administra
tion support for the present policy In
the Philippines. There Is very little
talk of antl-lmperlalism, and the sil
ver Issue is quiet. Many of those who
believe In free silver are now confident
that the Interests of the white metal
will be better served In the end by
the Republican party than by the
Democrats. Bryan has lost standing in
Colorado, and I find much of his per
sonal prestige gone. This Is duo to
the shelving of sliver and the substi
tution of anti-Imperialism as a para
mount Issue, an issue which does not
appeal to the people of this state.
"I have been all over the. state re
cently, and hundreds of people have
come to me and told me that while
they voted for Bryan In lo9C they will
vote for McKlnley this year. Of courso
I only hear the Republican side of the
question, but I cannot help believing
that the Republicans stand a good
chance of carrying the state for the
national ticket and electing a Republi
can legislature. The trust question
does not seem to be very much agi
tated. The smelter combination has
steadied the price of silver, which for
merly fluctuated according as the fears
or hopes of Individuals forced bullion
upon the market. It Is a fact which I
have never seen In print that the great
fall in the price of silver when our
international monetary commission
was abroad was due to the stamped
ing of a few holders of bullion, who
dumped their product on the market
In anticipation of still lower prices.
A PECULIAR SITUATION.
"The Democrats have created a pe
culiar situation for themselves. Inas
much as some of their leaders are ar
dent expansionists and at the same
time anti-lmperlallsts. Their efforts
to define their position are very amus
ing, as the Democratic cry of Imperial
Ism has Its only foundation in the ex
pansion of the United States during
the past two years through ' events
which were merely the Inevitable out
come of certain international condi
tions." When asked as to the Industrial con
dition of Colorado Senator Wolcott
said: "The Industrial condition of
Colorado Is splendid. There Is pelnty
of labor for all classes of people, the
mining Industry is flourishing and
profitable and as a consequence the
large agricultural interests of the state
have been greatly benefited. The peo
ple are well satisfied with the present
state of things and see no very good
reason for making any changes. From
what I hear from all other states the
feeling is the same, and I expect to
see President McKlnley re-elected by
as large or a larger majority In the
electoral college than he had In 1896."
What the Bohr Said.
They had lieen discussing the earliest
age at which children of tender yean
first bobble incoherent words. The doc

cord, every one looked to him to finish
the discussion.

dreamily, "which you may believe oi

it past all aid.
" 'Cannot you do anything for It, doc

'Absolutely nothing.' You will hardly
credit the fact that the child looked up iu
my face aud said 'absolutely nothing.1
It sounds Incredible, I know, but it is a
fact."
He rose Just then and walked away,
while the smoking crowd wondered.
Then one saw it and began reading,
and then another muttered somuthiug

perquisites.
