OIL CITY, PENNA. TOT LMI rilVV iiivji rim former Insurgent Leader's An nouncement Attracts Wide spread Interest. REPUBLICAN HARMONY PROMISED The Allegheny Man's Statement That There Is No Longer an Organization Fighting the Stalwarts Occasions Much Comment. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, June 11. Nothing that has occurred for some time has attract ed more attention among those Inter ested In Pennsylvania politics than the public statement made by Senator Fllnn, of Allegheny, that there no lon ger exists an insurgent Republican or ganization In this state. Coming from the recognized leader of the faction which has for some years been endeavoring to harass. If not to destroy, the controlling element In the Republican party In this common wealth, this announcement Is full of significance, and must have far reach ing effect toward furthering the move ment for absolute harmony among the Republicans of the state. A survey of the situation shows that what Flinn says cannot be successful ly refuted. The ostensible object of the organization of the Insurgents was the defeat of Col. Quay for re-election to the United States senate. With the return of the Beaver statoman to the senate the Insurgents are left without an Issue. The hopes of several ambi tious millionaires who kept the In surgent movement alive with liberal contributions to the campaign fund were likewise shattered. Each one of them wanted to be a United States sen ator. FLINN HAS HAD ENOUGH. Fllnn Is a practical business man as well as a practical politician. It is believed that his main purpose In join ing the insurgent movement was to bring about the election of his friend, the late Christopher L. Mugee, as Uni ted States senator. Following the elec tion of Senator Quay and the death of Magee came the ripper legislation, which has deprived Flinn of the con trol of the local offices formerly under fils friend, ex-Mayor Dlehl, of Pitts burg. The party organization In that city has gradually been slipping from Flinn's grasp, and an aggressive and intelligent element headed by reputa ble business men Is coming to the front In the Republican organization of Alle gheny county. Fllnn know s when be has bad enough, and some time ago he concluded that It was about time to get in out of the wet. He now says he Is going along with the regular Republican organiza tion In the state, and his course at Harrisburg within the last few weeks Indicates thai he means what he sava. School every day. Hundreds of ladies are greasing the pans, and with about one- Sale Angel, Sunshine and Gold 3c 5c 8o 10c 13c 18c 22e 30c CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED. A significant case In point was that ot newly appointed Judge Walters, of Northumberland county. Judge Wal ters, who was named by Governor Stone for a recently created court, Is a stalwart of stalwart Republicans. He was a delegate lo the Republican Btate convention In the Interest t Senator Quay In the famous light of 1895. and he was nominated for as semblyman in Northumberland coun ty by the Republicans, and was voted for at last November's election. Walters was bitterly opposed for election by the insurgent organization, with Fllnn directing the fight and ar ranging combinations with the Dem ocrats for a fusion ticket for the leg islature. When the returns came In It was found that Walters had been de feated by Just 14 votes. Then the new court was created, and the stalwart Republicans of the county urged Gov ernor Stone to appoint Walters, who is one of the best lawyers in the coun ty, and the governor complied with their request. Senator Focht went to Fllnn and aBked him to vote for Walters' confirm ation In the senate. "I shall bo pleased to do so," was Flinn'B reply, and that very night he cast a vote for the man whom he had defeated at the polls last fall. Senator Focht, who made the request, had his own costly experience with the Fllnn Insurgent organization. Flinn and Wanamaker defeated Focht when he ran for the assembly two years ago, after he had been nominated by the Republican convention. Last fall Flinn nnd Wanamaker went at him again when he was running for the state sen ate, but they failed to win away from him enough Republicans to defeat Focht this time. Focht and Fllnn are now working together in the senate on many mat ters; that Is, Fllnn Is working with Focht In support of measures wljlch are advocated by the stalwart Republi can leaders. HARMONY IN THE AIR. Reports come from different counties of the state of Republicans who have not been in accord with the regular Republican county organizations, ex pressing their determination In the fu ture to act with their party, to con cede the right of the majority to rule, and to work wfth a common purpose to strengthen the party In every direc tion. A noteworthy incident of the last week was the action of the Republican convention of Washington county. This county has been controlled politically by Congressman Acheson tor maujr years. Recently he has been nctlng with the Insurgents. For Bonn time prior to that he would make his nom inations for congress by one time deal ing with the Magee-Fllnn element In Allegheny county, and possibly the next time with the Quay men of Fay ette county. It may be taken for granted that Mr. Acheson Is not to have conditions remain aa they have been. There will be a new congres sional district blocked oat in that sec- tton ot the state which will probably Include the counties of Bearer, Wash tngton and Lawrence. HAVE A GOOD RECORD, Legislators at Harrisburg Have Done Much to Commend. THE VOTING MACHINE SCHEME. Governor Stone la Vigorously Opposed to the Attempt to Foist This Piece of Extravagance Upon the Common wealth. (Special Correspondence.) Harrisburg, June 11. With the leg islative session rapidly coming to a close. It is quite manifest that the rec ord made by the state lawmakers Is going to command popular approval. Following the legislation for the far mers in the passage of the bill to sup press the sale of oleomargarine colored in imitation of butter c.nme the pass age ot bills advocated by the coal min ers and the Snyder bill appropriating one million of dtglars to the public schools. This lost measure was intro duced upon the recommendation of Governor Stone to meet thocut made by him in the school appropriation two years ago, when the state finances were low. A spirit of economy has prompt ed a cut of one million of dollars In the amount to be set aside for the comple tion ot the new Capitol building. It has been agreed to expend four mil lions Instead of five millions of dollars on this work, and the governor is to name the commissioners who are to su pervise the completion of the structure. RAPID TRANSIT BILLS. As was to be expected the opponents of the Republican organization are seeking to make political capital out ot the legislation just passe,! to give rapid transit by elevated and under ground railways lu the large cities of the commonwealth. Charges are made that these bills were Introduced to ben efit certain parties, and others have said that they were intended to "hold up" capitalists interested In the Trac tions companies of Philadelphia and Pittsburg. These charges all fail to the ground In the light of subsequent develop ments. Since the enactment of the laws leading business men, men ot standing In both Pittsburg and Philadelphia, have come to the front and announced their purpose to take advantage of this legislation to give modern systems ot transportation to the great centers of business activity in thecommonwealth. When it is stated that these rapid transit bills were passed by the men in control ol the Republican organiza tion, the answer may be given that In voting for these measures the members ot the legislature were not divided ou factional or party lines. Republicans, Democrats and Insurgents alike voted for these bills, which were passed by over ir2 votes in the affirmative to 31 in the negative. Senator Flinn and all his personal followers In the house voted for the bills. CREASY'S BAD BREAK. The chairman of the Democratic state committee, so-called "Farmer" Creasy, made an exhibition of himself by bis unparliamentary and disorderly conduct and bursts of profanity, for which he was rebuked by the speaker of the house, who was finally obliged to call upon the sergeant-at-arms to make Creasy be seated. The conduct of Creasy was most reprehensible and was condemned by members of the house regardless of their political af filiations. The vote In the house showed that of those favoring the bills 98 were Republicans who voted for Quay for senator, 32 were Insurgent Republicans and 22 were Democrats. In the senate those voting for these bills included 22 stalwart Republicans, 3 insurgents and 6 Democrats. GOVERNOR STONE FIGHTS VOTING MACHINES. Governor Stone Is opposed to the In troduction of expensive voting ma chines In this state, and be proposes to fight the men back of the scheme to foist this job upon the people of the commonwealth. Two years ago he ve toed a resolution adopted by the legis lature in favor of the introduction of the machines, and the promoters of the scheme went to the supreme court, which decided that the governor had no power io veto such a resolution. The next move of the machine men was to Introduce Into this legislature a bill calling for the submission to the people at the coming election of a prop osition for an amendment to the con stitution which would permit the In troduction of the machines. Governor Stone, In view of the action of thn supreme court, decided to sign this bill, but in doing so made cleur bis opposition to the scheme. The End Sorprlseil Him.
