(Special Correspondence.) Harrisburg, Dec. 4. Two members of the state senate of Pennsylvania who have been claimed by the insur gents In the struggle to organize that body ns an initial move in the fight to elect a United States senator, have within the last few days been placed on record or in line with the stalwarts. These senators arc Hon. Charles A. Muehlbronner, of Allegheny county, and Hon. William C. Sproul, of Dela ware county. Upon their claims of support of these two Republicans the Insurgents, through a combination with the Democrats, based their predictions that they would be able to organize the new senate. To do this, even with the votes of Senators Muehlbronner and Sproul, they would have -to back a Democrat for president pro tern. It was announced that they had agreed upon J. Henry Cochran, a D --mocratle senator from Lycoming couuty, fur presiding officer. TWO VOTES FOR REGULARS. Authentic announcements that both Muehlbronner and Sproul will act with regulars, at once exploded the insur gents' claims. Senator Muehlbronner, because, pos sibly, he resides in Allegheny county. w?s stated to be under obligations to Senator William Flinn, of that county, the insurgent leader. Mr. Muehlbronner disposed of this report In a most emphatic manner in nn authorized public statement. "I am not a party traitor," said Senator Muehlbronner. "I have al ways been a Republican and I pro pose to vote with the Republicans and not with the Democrats. IL has alwaj'3 been my policy to act with the major ity in my party, and it is my inten tion to adhere to that principle, which I believe to be right and proper, for upon our support of this policy will depend the success of the Republican party." "For whom do you intend to votf for president pro tern, of the senate? Senator Muehlbronner was asked. "I believe, in fact I am convinced that a large majority of the Republi can momburs of the state senate favor the re-election of Senator William F, Snyder, of Chester county, for that of fice, and I Intend to support him. have no doubt of his election." Senator Muehlbronner will go Into the Republican caucus on the United States senator.ship and will vote for Col. M. S. Quay to succeed himself. SNYDER IS A WIXXER. Senator Sproul, although he co operated with the insurgents during the last session, is a stanch supporter of Senator Snyder for president pro tern, of the senate. With a view of getting them to Join their ranks the insurgents, despite their secret arrangement with the Democrats to elect Senator Cochran Democratic president pro tern., have been making overtures to Senator Sproul. They have promised to sup port him for president pro tern, if he will co-operate with them. "I knew that Senator Sproul was be ing urged to become a candidate sri.inst me even before I saw the an iiiUi.c inent.to t..at c fleet in the l.ewd p.ijurs," said Senator Snyder in dis cussing the matter. "No sooner had the statement appeared in print, how ever, than I, received a letter from Mr. ol llio iVUmiMi'r General, of Senators Boys. rn UVJ Mittens, Handkerchiefs, Umbrellas toshes and Rain Proof Coats. 0 proni stating tnat ne woum vote ior me for president of the state sennte and adding that he was not a candi date, and that he had no intention of opposing me for re-election. I might also add that I have more than enough votes pledged me to as sure my election," remarked Senator Snyder. Another member of the state senate who has been heard from within the Inst few days is Senator E. R. Harden bergh, of Wayne county, the auditor general-elect, who will co-operate with the stalwarts during the balance of his term in the senate. HARDENBERGH SPEAKS OUT. In their campaign of misrepresenta tion the insurgents started a report that Senator Hardenbergh had fallen out with the regulars over the ques tion of patronage in his new office. This story was quickly disposed of by Senator Hardenbergh in a public state ment, in which he said: "I am of the opinion that it is the moral duty of every member elect ed to the legislature to follow the usage prescribed by the party with which he is affiliated, either in or ganizing the legislature, selecting a candidate for United States sena toror concerning legislation of a partisan character. As to the es tablished custom for the Republi can members of the legislature to caucus on matters of this descrip tion in order to ascertain the will of the majority, I feel obligated as a member of the Republican par ty to participate in such caucus, while I am under no obligation to sustain any candidacy for any posi tion. "I Intend to support Hon. M. S. Quay in the senatorial caucus and vote for the nominee of such cau cus, he he Mr. Quay or some other rerscn. I also intend to support Senator W. P. Snyder for president pro tern, of the senate. "As to the disagreement over the patronage of the auditor pon-i'Ml's office, nothlng-of the kind has taken place No person prominently con nected with the party Las ever of fered a suggestion rv.;irdin; the patronage of the department. When I am installed in the auditor gen eral's office I will endeavor to con duct the same in the Interests of the whole commonwealth. In wak ln this statement I am not actuated or influenced by factional feeing, but from a sense of fairness. I greatly deplore the conditions which are manifestly disturbing party harmony, as I have wsra personal friends on either side of the controversy." Not only have the state senator.! been lining up in good style with- the stalwarts in the legislature, but the members of the house who have been put In the doubtful class fire coming to the front in vigorous fashion. It happened that in the Sixth rep resentative district of Philadelphia. through local differences, Representa tive James McConneil, a staunch Quay man throughout the deadlock on the United States senatorship, was not re elected. A young Republican. David J. Smyth, was successful in securing the Republican nomination for the house in this district. He was elected by a good majority. In accordance with their policy in other sections of the state, the insurgents put Representative-elect Smyth down as an anti-Quay man, and cited the fact that he had defeated a man who had voted for Quay at the last session. INSURGENT GAIN EXPLODED. Representative Smyth has disposed of this insurgent newspaper yarn, and placed himself squarely on record with the regulars. "I can conceive of but one course to be pursued by a loyal and consistent Republican in the matter of the organ ization of the legislature of Pennsyl vania and the election of a United States Benator," said Representative elect Smyth last evening. "Although but a young man, and this will be my first session, I am satisfied that there is but one thing for a Republican to do, who is a member of the legislature. H9 must stand by his party organiza tion; he must stand by his party; ho must vote for a choice of a majority of the Republican members of the legis lature for officials of that body, and he must support the candidate of a major ity of the Republicans for United States senator. "This is my first experience as a pub lic ofhciul, but I am satisfied that I can make no mistake in coufo! 'i. with the time-honored usages and cu-:toms of my party and complying with the will of a majority of my iir.rtv.

COMBINE WITH NO DEMOCRATS. "Neither Democrats nor assistant Democrats can command consideration from the Republican voters if '.'.:o Sixth legislative district of I'hi'.v:?! phia, who have honored mo with election to the state house of repre sentatives. No Republican c';;J from this district dare fuse, un'.ta or combine with the Democracy for any purpose and hope for re-election tJ tl-.o legislature or support for any olP.ce in the future. The Keivjhlhnra ci this district believe In rl y rule. By that principle Major MiKiu'ry wrs elected president of the United fcu-.: ;-. and through the observance of that principle he will succeed hhr.satf in that office. "There can be no questioning the fact that a large majority of trc Re publicans elected to the next l",;!si.i ure were chosen by the people with the knowledge that they favored :.r.d would vote for the re-election cf Cj!. M. S. Quay to the United State.! sen ate. The issue was plainly and Piua.e ly put at the Republican primaries and at the polls at the general election. "Although I am convinced that a majority of the Republicans of the dis trict which I represent are in favor of the election of Col. Quay to the United States senate, I would graceful ly support any other Republic n who would receive the votes of a majority of the Republican members of the next legislature. The Republican voters of the district in which I live would not countenance my supporting any Cluf fey Democrat or insurgent Republican who might be nominated in opposition to the choice of a majority of the Re publican members of the legislature."

Philadelphia, V:x. 4. The secret of the intere-t taken by Col. J,'.mei M. Guffey, De;m era!! : nat.:o-a' c mmlttee ma:i, in the contest over tha organ ization of the Ingi.slr.tme and the elec tion of a United Elates '-.enaiLr has been at last explained. De.'jdto the fact that, thtcuph the Lss if 27 votes In the house, d.e Democrats are that much further awav lYoin the senator ship than they were two years ago, Guffey Is still v. oiking and still spend ing money to defeat the re-election of Cel. M. S. Q ay, the choice of a large majority of the' Republicans in the legislature for United States senator. Guffey r:"! Riffle a, deal with the Flliin-Mr.rtin lni:r, e its, by which they hope to deadlock the. coming legisla ture on the election of a United States Benator. Flinn and Martin, with the defeat of their fusion schemes in so many dis tricts, see the utter hopelessness of their game to elect an Insurgent to too United States senate, controlling n3 they do but a small minority of the Re publican vote in the general assembly. To the Martin-Flinn Insurgent end nnd the Guffey Democratic contingent It is evident that there Is but one thing to do, and that is to attempt to again deadlock the legislature and block the plans of the result r Republicans of electing the choice of the Republican caucus. Thiy have determined to work for (""other deadlock, so ns to throw the .ectt:n of a successor to Col. Quav into the next lczi slature, which would then have to elect two United Strte.i semtfors, successors to Messrs. Quay and Penrose. Thi3 scheme Is mr.de attrr.ctlva to the Democrats, and especially to G-tf-fey, by a promise that Guffey sha'l lis given one cf these seats In the United States senate, with the other to go to an insurgent Republican who put up the most cash In the fight. The recent scheme of a fusion campaign for the election of candidates for the legisla ture would, according to their program, be repeated two yenra hence, and the insurgents would continue to act inde pendently of the regular Republican organization and practically maintain a party of their own. BARTER AND SALE. Flinn and Martin are apparently ready to make any trade3 to keep the Democrats In the senate and the house working in harmony with their inter ests. They have agreed to sell out the Republican organization to the Democ racy In the state senate nnd support a Democrat, J. Henry Cochran, of Ly coming, for president pro ten. of the senate and share the patronage pud the committee appointments with the Guf fey Democrats. Guffey is to turn the Democratic members over to an Insur gent Republican for speaker of the house, and is to tie able to T'arsritea certain clerkships and Imports Mt com mittee appointments to Democrats, which should go to Republicans. GUFFEY FAVORS A CAUCUS. While Guffey Is eager to contribute to the success of the plans of Martin and Flinn to disrupt the Republican or ganization, he is quite a3 anxious to maintain harmony In the Democratic organization and to have the Demo cratic members of the state senate and the house follow his advice and la.ul- crship. In commenting upon Col. Ouffry's at titude Editor Arthur M. Roy, of t'uo ANellsboro Agitator, a stalwart E?; ii lican, said: 'it seems that Col. James M. Guftcy does not want to lie named as the Dem ocratic candidate for United States sen For Women and Children.a2a CAPES AND JACKETS, FURS AND SCARFS AND RAINY DAY SKIRTS. CP o iru ator, in an interview m fuisiriu., last Friday he said: " 'The Democrats will, of course, have their own senatorial candi date. They will insist upon this, nnd I am anxious that the Dcmo ocratlc caucus nomination should go to some prominent party work er. My business affairs are simply overwhelming me, and are taking more time and attention than my henlth will supply. I feel that I should be relieved of political re sponsibility at this time. However, the Democratic legislators nre for a Democrat for the United State:! senate, and in their party enncuu they will determine Just who that candidate shall be." "So the colonel," remnrl.ed Editor Roy, "will Insist on a regular caucus nomination by the Democrats; but the shoe is on the other foot wl c:i he talks about Republican state politics. It's all wrong In his eyes for the Republi can members of the legls'ntore to thlnlt of such a thing as holding a caucus. It Is probable, however, that Mr. Guf fey advice will not tic asked about that matter, though he uas been very free to offer It recently." THINGS ARE DIFFERENT. The combination that existed at Har risburg last session wns buooessful in preventing the election of a Republi can to the senate because tho regular Republicans were deceived by certain men who had promised to go Into the Republican caucus and who violated their pledge. This time things are different. In n large majority of ti.3 cases candidates for the legislature were nominated and elected upon the issue of party regular ity and party fealty, nnd the schemes of the men who seek to influence mem bers of the legislature to remain out of the caucus will not succeed. RosorU ing to questionable me' hods to make Republicans Ignore their party and unite with the Democrats will react upon those who attempt this guerrilla style of politics, and will In the end help to cement the regular Republican forces. The leaders of tho stalwart element in the part,' have been worl ing quietly and thoroughly, and are fully ncqunlnt ed with v. hat is going on in both the Insurgent and the Demnc-atic carns, and they have nothing to fe ir from the outcome of the conspiracy of po-ealie 1 Republicans with the Gur.'ey D -vi')-crats.
