(Special Correspondence.) Ilai rlsburtr, Nov. 20. Having elected majority of stalwart Republicans in both branched of the legislature, the resulcr Ile-iuiblioau loaders of Pennsyl vania propose to carry out the pledges niado to the people in the recent cam- nalan and uuss auch legislation as snail be iu keeping; with the promises made ly the Republican party in the state convention aud by its leaders on the Blmu!) in the recent canvass. It ha3 been the practice of the so- '. !!ed reform -' s to lay claim to pret ty nnuh all the virtue that is going t:r uiui, and tu-ir ulllcs, the insurgent 1 ..i'.K ins ti-e Democrats, are al v uya a koo-.I second iu the race for no toriety In the same direction. None of them, however, gets further than the publication of resolutions or speeches, In which they arraign the Republican lea.le'vhiii for alleged delinquencies, and Di-jniis? ail sorts of things which they are utterly Incapable of carrying out. Now the Republican party Is In a position to ignore these fake reformers, tho insurgents and the Democrats, and will proceed to give the people what they want in the way of practical legis lation to remedy existing evils. Throughout the last campaign much ado was made about the question of bal'ot reform. Election frauds were rnuile the subject of tirades against the Reprbtlcpn loaders, hut the men who were most conspicuous in this cam phisii always neglected to state that tho ulloeed violations of the election V.iK.t were almost entirely confined to the urco cilios. and that neither party hud an absolutely clear record on this score. The discover' of great frauds In one precinct of te S"vrnth ward of Phil a le'pi.ia, in which Republican election ot'lcei were involved, made a great Bonmtion, and it is still the subject of frequent comment in many quarters. I'.nt little is being 'said about the dis chiHiires made in 'Sauire McMullen's uUi.-.i-.n In Philadelphia, where it Is nleed over one hundred ballots were stulfed in the box at the last election In favor of McAleer, the Democratic candidate for congvers, and Lloyd the iuscrrent candidate for state senator. This v -volution was passed over as tnoiigh It amounted to nothing by the Insurgent newspapers, which devoted cclnrmis to the case in the Seventh ward. This time Democrats and fu- slonibts were Involved. Put whether the frauds be commit ted by Republicans or Democrats the situation is the same, and it is manifest that the present ballot law must be amended, and the Republican leaders will tmdertnke the task of passing Euch amendments as will block the frauds in the slum districts of Phila delphia and Pittsburg. WILL KEEP THIS PROMISE. The Democrats and Insurgents may attempt to claim credit for what will be done, but as the regular Republicans will frame the measures and pass them with Republican votes, the people will know to whom to give credit due. The platform adopted at the last Re publican state convention contained a pluhk which read: "The Republican party of Penn sylvania has always stood for an liontst ballot and a fair count. In the furtherance of this Idea, an act was passed In 1891, known as the Raker ballot law, for the purpose of protecting the citizen In the ex ercise of the elective franchise. "This act was passed by a Re yuMicaa legislature at the Instance o! U.i V,h,l Reform association, ar, 1 as intended to serine a secret and honest ballot. Further safe guards were thrown around the ballot law by the suDDlemental act JACKETS, CAPES, GOLF CAPES, COLLARETTES, STORM COLLARS, SCARPS, AND RAINY-DAY SKIRTS. Every garment fits neatly and Needs no Altering, and is made in latest Styles and Fabrics. oi ia4. in audition, nowever, to these laws, we favor such legisla tion as will enable the courts to open the ballot boxes upon the pe tition of citizens, duly presented, in all cases wherecomplalntlsprop- erly made, alleging fraud In the holding of an election or the count ing of the vote cast, so that if fraudulent ballots are placed In the boxes or a false count has been made It can be exposed by the courts with expedition and all of fenders against the purity of the of the ballot detected and brought to speedy Justice." The subject of ballot reform will be among the first taken up by the stal wart Republican leaders-. REFORM OLEO LEGISLATION. Another matter which will receive prompt attention from the Republican leaders will be the proposed amend ments to the laws govering the sale of oleomargarine. The Republican party is committed la the most posi tive manner by the speeches made by fiovernor Stone and his subordinates In the department of agriculture to Urge legislation which will remedy de tects In the present law on that subject. Vhc fact is that the law makes It diffi cult to suppress the traffic in oleo col ored as butter, as It places but small punishment upon violators of the law and it is deficient In other respects. Despite these facts, Governor Stone s administration has done great work in the suppression of the "oleo traffic. It Is known that prior to tho inauguration of Governor Stone the enormous quan tity of 11,433,341 pounds of oleo was sold In Pennsylvania la one year. The sales have been reduced to less than '00,000, an nuiny dealers who have sold ileo colored as butter have been ar- ated and convicted through the oper ions of the state officials. The pres- ' law, the act of Mrvy 5. lS3f. was ed at the instnnce of ihe Dairy men's Union and the State Grange as the outcome of a meeting held at Wlll lamsport In December. The bill was taken to Harrisburg by the secretary of the Dairymen's Union and by the leg islative committee of the State Grange. The weak points in the measure have been demonstrated by practical expe rience of the state officials, and they will undertake to recommend amend ments to the present act which will make the prosecution of the men ac cused of selling oleo In Imitation of butter less difficult and which will make the punishment quite severe. SCHOOLS TO BE CARED FOR. The matter of the appropriations to the public schools has been the subject of much newspaper abuse of the state administration. It is manifest that these attacks have been for purely par tisan purposes and were without justi fication. When Governor Stone was Inaugu rated he sent a message to the legis lature explaining the conditions of the state finances and setting forth the fact that there would be an estimated deficiency of three millions of dollars unless appropriations were greatly re duced or some new sources of revenue were procured. He made several rec ommendations regarding means to ralre more money, but the Insurgent and Democratic combine in the house defeated the bills which were Intended to meet this contingency. This combine not only prevented the passage of legislation to raise money, but it failed to reduce the appropria tions, and the governor, in order to protect the credit of the common wealth, felt obliged to cut $500,000 a year from the item for schools. STONE'S PROMPT ACTION. Less than two years have elapsed, and owing to the extraordinary activ ity of the 6tate officials In collecting back taxes from delinquent corpora tions and making other corporations nay their full share of taxation, the ap parent deficit has been changed to a magnificent surplus, and Governor Stone has publicly stated that with the opening of the next legislature he will at once forward a message calling for the immediate passage of a deficiency bill which will make up the $500,000 a year for the schools, the amount which he deducted, so that they will actually not suffer in the slightest degree for any part of the original appropriation of $3,500,000 a year made by the last legislature. The stalwart Republican majority in the legislature will without doubt promptly adopt the suggestion cf Gov ernor Stone and the so-called school Issue will have been dir,po:-ed of to the eatisfa'-tlon of the people, and no doubt to the disgust of the Democrats and the insurgents, who, with nothing to kick about, will ncccrdiiigty be un huuijy. BRIBERY CANNOT DEFEAT QUAY. His Majority Too Great Tor Un scrupulous Opponents to Overcome! A POPULAR VICTORY. Dr. Snyder, of Chester, Will BrElect- eil Speaker lro Teiu. of the Senate and lli'ii. William T. Marshall, AUeKheny, Speaker of the House oi Representative. (Sjwlal Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Nov. 20. While tho Democrats and assistant Deniociats, the so-called Insurgents, nra making desperate efforts to create the impres sion that the supporters of Col. M, S. Quay will not have a majority in the Joint convention for the election of a United States senator, it is gigniilcar.t that they dure not make a statement In detail of the names of the men whom they claim are opposed to Col. Quay. The facts are that theie is an un doubted majority of stalwart Republi can members of the state Eenate and the house of representatives who were elected with the undeistar.i'.irig that they would support Col. Quay, and this they will do. His re-election to the Untied Siates senate could only be prevented by wholesale bribery of the representa tives of the people. Men who valuo their reputations will have nothiug to with the unscru pulous schemers who are now locking to the resources of a well known mil lionaire in this city, which they would like to have placed at their disposal for a campaign of debauchery, liitimi- dation and blackmail. The Republicans of Pennsylvania know who havebeen elected ps stalwart Republicans, and attempts to corrupt legislators will meet with prompt and positive action on the part of tho peo ple. A review of the situation in tne state shows that there Is practically little left of the insurgent movement outside of the Pittsburg ring of politicians and a few retaineis who still ciin to David Martin In this city. The Washington county machine, of w hich Consre-naa Achescn ii at the head, Is dependent upon the ANegheny county contingent for sv port in Acheron':' congressional campaigns. Their alliance with the insurgents In tho content aj;ni!:r,t Col. Quay is quite natural. Two years ago Senator Quay was a candidate for re-election to the United States senate. In the cont--'.t at the primaries h ".'o? more thrn two thirds of the Republican members and senators. In ti-at le;'!s!oture flt the beginning of the voting for United States ecsfitcr there were 112 regular Republican.- 87 Democrats and 51 In surgents, t: 112 rei;!.'!srs included eight Re;:;;'; hps controlled by Mago in Allegheny and three .nbsequenUy controlled ly Martin in Philadelphia, so that it left only 101 regulars after these deductions were made. FOR MAJORITY RULE. These figures show that a combina tion of Insurgent Republicans and Democrats made a clear majority in Joint assembly. The regulars stood by Senator Quay beww he hail 1 In dorsed I v :nnrp than ( -tni --"r: of , ptlbllO'.i vfi-. T! "f-v S.'o ''') rule r.f tpa'-n'-itv (' ' that the Insurgents and Democrats, not being able to come together, the legis lature was deadlocked and adjourned without the election of a United States senator. For more than two years this state, with its six and a half millions of peo rle. its great material and Industrial interests, has only had one senator in the upper branch of the national con exess. With thbi condition of affairs, tho Republican state convention met In Harrbbmc Inst April and in Its plat form annon,. e.d Senator Quay as a can didate fur re-election. BACKED BY HIS PARTY. This is u quotation from the platform of the Republican state convention, ed.iptcd at Harrisburg on June 20,1000: "We di-ploie the action of the United t-v-i; teaate in C-myi.-g us ti e TUht cf full rcpro-.er.tMion to which we are entitled ui:dcr the fed em! const Pillion.- We still contend that the gocnior had constitution al uuthoritv to make the uunolnt- Manufacturers are RELIABLE.

Wo express our confidence In Senator Quay's leadership nud we believe In his political and personal integ rity. A great wroug has been done him, which tho people will right at the proper tlme.nnd therefore we thew Stanley Quay shall beac.mdl thew Stanley Quay ehall be a candi date for re-election to the United States senate. In which he has so long served tho people with such distinguished ability and fidelity, and to this end we pledge him our hearty and cordial support." Col. Quay rppeul.'d directly to the peoule. He went before Cio Repv-bll-cau voters in every county where there was a contest on the senate-rial ques tion. The issue was iuad-3 in such a way that it could not be misunder stood, and tho election resulted fa vorably to his candidacy in clract every instance. Ho reai'o his pvi e.tls in Cheater, Montgomery. Rbilr, Potter. Lawrence, Fayette, Westmoreland, Franklin. Clearfield, Mercer and Union. He won In all cf these comme?. WON ON DIRECT VOTE. In this connection it should bo re membered that the insurgents and Democrats effected fusion and pooled their issues for the purpose of de feating the candidates for tho legisla ture favoroble to Col. Quay, and yet on a direct vote tho peui lo sustained his candidacy. In a number of countio3 cundidalca friendly to him were defeated by a vory small plurality, but tho returna show that In joint assembly there will be 191 Republicans, Including insurgents, and G3 Democrats, making a total of 254. Tho insurrents have elected 53 mem bers and senators who will ait In the next Ic-gisir.te.re. These figures give them more than they will probably get, but every doubtful man 13 placed In this list. Deducting tills number from tho to tal number cf Republicans elected leaves 103 regular Republicans Iu tho next lcgi:':-.!-.T?. All of these; were elected cither as direct friends of Col. Quay or were pledged to go into the caucus and abide by its decision. They were supported in their count !os ny the regular Kept-bUcans on the isue of party regularity and mejorlty rule, and are pledged to carry out these instruc tions at the coming session of the leg islature. Under nil these circumstances It would sefc'.n as though the content had bceu definitely settled by the returns, but the br.nd of party wreckers who have been attcmptm;? to fcisrupt tno Republican party during tho past t-vo or three years are trying to steal some of the regular Republicans in tho hope that they can reduce the number who will go into the caucus below 12S, which Is the number necessary to elect, and thus prevent cn election of United States senator, as they did two years ago. SIMPLY OESTRUCTiONISTc.. These people do not expect to bo able to clst a senator themselves. The Insurgent Republicans hr-ve ro hope of this kind. They Pave only 53 votes; they will have only 53 votes In joint as sembly, but in Joining the-so 53 with the 63 Democratic members and sena tors they hope, by flUbusterlnR tfctics to prevent an election. If they tan tempt, by use. of the largo corruption fund at their hund.i, or otherwise, some 12 or 15 members who were fleet ed on a platform of party regularity to disregard their iustruc! ;-;ns, sell their honor and their n-mbood to this band of party wrecker-., they think they can delay tho election of n sena tor two years longer. This is the whole contest now be fore the Republicans of Pennsylvania, It will not succeed, bocaurn there Is a clear majority r-t rei:ul.nr Republi cans elected.
