Republicans Have Decided to Meei at Harrisburg on Aug, 21. DEMOCRATS CAUGHT NAPPING rnit of a Dill Thronith thr I.f. Ilatare Will rrntrrt the Preaeai Rpiuhllcun Snprrlor Court Jn.tlcri (Special Correspondence.) Hnrrlshurg. May 21. Gen. Fran) Reeder, chnlrman of the Republics! state committee, having made a can vass of the itiembcrs of that body anc found that a majority favor the hold fng of the Republican state conventlot In this city on Aug. 21 next, wll shortly issue a call for the conventlot to be held here on that date. This fact has attracted attention t( the work that will have to be perform ed by this ronventlon. There are but two candidates to be nominated, on for Justices of the supreme court tc succeed Justice Potter, of Alleghen county, and a candidate for state treas urer to take the place of Col. James E Barnett. AS TO CANDIDATES. There Is not likely to be any opposi tion to the nomination of Justice Pot ter to succeed himself. No one ele has been mentioned for this honor and. In accordance with the practice of re-electing members of the Judiciary who have served well and faithfully, he will be nominated for the full term. He holds his present position under an appointment by the governor to fill an unexpired term. A state treasurer cannot succeed him self, no that Col. Harnett will retire at the end of his present term. He has made a very efficient and attentive pub lic officer, and under his administration the funds of the commonwealth have continued to be guarded safely, as they have been in the past. There are several gentlemen mention ed to succeed him, but the only one for whom friends are making a can vass Is Reprecentatlve Frank O. Har ris, of Clearfield county. Mr. Harris has been a stalwart among stalwart Re publicans and a conscientious and suc cessful legislator. He has a splendid record as a member of the house, and his recent activity In the cause of pure butter must command admiration and support of the farming element. He Is the author of the Harris antl-oleo-margiirine bill, which, after a hard fight, he succeeded In putting through the house of representatives. Among others who have been mentioned for the nomination of slate treasurer, al though none of them Is regarded as an aopiiiiit fur tin: iiaie, are Senator H. H. Cumings of Warren county, Repre sentalive A. Nevnn Pomerny of Frank lin ar.d Speiik-er of the House of Rep resentatives William T. Marshall of Allegheny. REl'l W.ICANS WERE ALERT. Republicans members of the legisla ture are still miiilinir over the manner please the best. For heavy but ser in which they caught their Democratic colleagues napping when they put through a bill which will protect the present Republican membership of the superior court of Pennsylvania. While, had the matter been made a party Is sue, the Republicans would possibly have had no difficulty In passing the legislation they have secured, they are pleased to have slipped through a bill giving them what they desired without a contest and before the Democrats knew what was going on. Under the old law, on the expiration of the terms of office of Justices W. W. Porter, of Philadelphia, and W. D. Porter, of Allegheny, one of them would have to retire to make place for a representative of the minority party, both of them being Republicans. There was introduced In the state senate some time ago a bill which at tracted little Interest. It amended the act of 1899 regulating the election of Judges of the superior court. Under existing conditions, when two or more Judges of that court are to be elected, the voters are restricted to voting for the entire number to be elected, less one. This provision of the act was inserted to give the Dem ocrats representation on the bench, when there was more than one vacancy te be filled. The bill which passed last week amends the law by allowing vot ers to vote for the entire number to be elected, except when four or more va cancies are to be filled, when the mi nority party Is given an opportunity to elect one. TO PROTECT PRESENT JUSTICES. This amendment becomes Inopera tive after 1909, and "the present law is then again to take effect. This will permit of the re-election of Judges Por ter of Philadelphia and Porter of Alle gheny on the same Republican ticket In 1908, when their present terms ex pire. If this change in the law were not made and these two Republicans were the only Justices whose seats on the bench were then to be filled, a Demo crat would be elected in place of one of them. Judge P. P. Smith, the pres ent Democratic member of the court or whoever may be nominated by the Democrats to succeed him, will be pro tected by this amendment, as the terms of Republican Judges Rice, Beaver and Orlady expire at the same time, 1906, and their being four vacancies to fill the Democrats would get one of them! In the event of a vacancy occurring by death or resignation of any of these Judges before the expiration of their terms the Democrats could not under the bill Just passed elect one of their narty in 1905.

VETERAN LEADER'S POPULARITY Ilia Maatrrlr Addrraa anil tile Othrl Kra tares of the (irrat Political Gathering Mattera of Wlileaprvad ad Favorable Comment. (Special Correapondnc.t Philadelphia, May 21. From every section of the state which was repre sented at the great demonstration given In this city In honor of United States Senator Quay have come letters and other messages to President Moore and other officers of the State league ol Republican Clubs congratulating them on the magnificent success of what wai undoubtedly one of the most interest ing political gatherings ever held in this commonwealth. The ovations given the senior sena tor during his presence in this city on that occasion were, Indeed, very com plimentary to him. They reflected tht sentiment In the Republican organiza tion of the state and the feeling of the citltens of Philadelphia, regardless ol party affiliation. Senator Quay, from the moment he arrived within the gates of the city until he left for a brief season of rest at the seashore, was almost over whelmed with enthusiastic greetings from admirers who gathered here to pay their respects to him and to share In the jubilation over his election to the United States senate after the most remarkable contest for tht office ever witnessed In the history of this coun try. QUAY EAGER TO RETIRE. Senator Quay's speech at the mam moth reception given to him nt the Academy of Music continues to be the subject of editorial comment by news paper editors throughout the country, and his chnrac'erlstlc utterances con firmed the statements of friends farill lar with his true character, that he Is not only a student of human nature, but a thoroughly wall read, broad minded and deep thinking scholar, a philosopher and statesman. What seemed to hnve attracted most attention were these few sentences: "My political race Is run. I will never again be a candidate for nor accept any official position. I have many friends to remember. I have no enemies to punish. In thiB regard I put aside the past." Since uttering these words In the presence of an audience composed of many of the most representative busi ness men, manufacturers and profes sional men of the state. Senator Quay has reiterated the sentiment. Hs does not mean to divorce himself from his party or to cease to take an interest in public affairs, but it Is his desire upon the expiration of his term to retire to private life and devote himself to his family and bis books. The tributes that were paid to Sen ator Quay in the speeches at the re ception were in harmony with the sen timent which prompted the young Re publican at the head of the State League to tender the veteran leader this evidence of their regard for him as a man and their admiration for htm as the state's senior representative In the United States senate. They told the story of his Interesting career, his youthful experiences, his services in thel'nlon army and his many triumphs over vindictive personal and political opponents. GEN. ELKIN'S TIMELY WORDS. Attorney General John P. Elkin, who made the principal speech at the reception. In referring to Senator Quay's last political battle and the fight for his admission to the United States senate on Governor Stone's ap pointment, among other things said: "The Republican convention In the state was in session at Harrlsburg when the result of that contest was made known. While his friends had hoped for and" expected better things they were not discouraged. The next day they inserted in the party platform a reaffirmation of their adherence to the leadership of Senator Quay. They placed him in nomination as their can didate for the vacancy then existing in the United States senate. With this Issue they went to the people. Mem bers of the legislature were nominated on the direct isme in almost every county In the commonwealth. In the fall of 1900, when the Democracy dis played a hostile flag in open opposi tion and while enemies In his own party were aiding and abetting the common enemy, he accepted their chal lenge and boldly went before the peo ple of the state. He traversed the state from West Chester to Meadvllle and from Mead- Vllle back to the Academy of Music, where he spoke the Saturday night be fore the election. There was no evad ing the issue. It was open and avow ed. The people passed on it, and when the legislature met he was elected to the position he earned and had a right to enjoy since the session of 1899. "We have had six years of political warfare. Senator Quay has emerged from it stronger than ever before in all of his political experience. Let us hope now, since the sracke of battle has cleared away, peace may hold with in our ranks, and that the Republicans of the state, having fought out the is sues that divided them during the past several years, will unite In a common purpose under the leadership of your guest to do battle with the old and ancient enemy, the Democratic party of Pennsylvania."
