THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19,1896
FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR.
Now that the election is over and it is
known that the Republicans of the State
will control the next Legislature by a
large majority, it becomes us to seriously
consider who we want for L nited States
Senator to succeed J. D, Cameron, whose
term expires on the 4th of March next.
After the Legislature organizes in Jan
nary, its first impoitant duty will be to
make this selection, and as Senator Quay
has a residence in the Western part of
the State, it is generally conceded that
Cameron's successor should come from
the Eastern part, and again as the coun
ty of Philadelphia has not had a Senator
for many years she is claiming it, and
she presents as her candidate Hon. John
Wanaruaker, ex-Postmaster General.
The change from Cameron to Wana
maker would, we believe, be very grati
fying to the vast majoiity of the Repub
licans of this State. Mr. Wanamaker's
fame as a successful business man has
spread all over tha State, and in fact
over the greater part of the continent.
He was President Harrison's choice for
Postmaster General, and his administra
tion of that department of the National
Government has never been excelled.
During the late campaign he proved
himself a forcible public speaker and a
> man well versed in public affairs. His
integrity and morality have never, to our
knowledge, been called in question, and
he stands to-day the peer of any public
man in the country.
Such men as John Wanamaker in the
United States Senate would represent the
grandest Commonwealth of the Union as
she deserves to be and should be.
Congress will meet on the first Monday
in December, but it will be the old Con
gross, not the now one. A. Democratic
President will be in the White House, and
a ftoe silver majority will rule the Senate.
It is too much to expeot that anything of
importance c*n be accomplished. We
must wait until the meeting of the new
Congress.
Political Notes.
Judge Williard of the Superior Court
contemplates resigning his office. He
lives at Scranton, and he dislikes travel
ling and long absences from his home.
Ex-Speaker Boyer, of Philadelphia is
a condidate for speaker of the next
House at Harrisburg, and is making
great claims.
There will be 204 members of the next
House of Representatives, and of this
number only 33 are Democrats. To win
the place a candidate must have 86 votes
ill the Republican caucus. There is talk,
of the country members uniting on a
candidate against Boyer on the ground
that Philadelphia has had more than i*s
share of the honors of the House. Phila
delphians have held the office of speaker
during four of the last seven sessions, as
follows: John E. Faunce, 1883; Henry
K. Boyer, 1887 and 1889, and Harry F.
Walton, 1895. James L. Graham, of
Allegheny, was speaker in 18S5, and
Caleb C. Thompson, of Warren, in 1891
and 1893. This point is being urged up
on the country members by influences
x inimical to Boyer.

made reputations for the.nseives.
Ths Next Speaker
The first move of the country against
the city in the organization of the next
Legislature was made Monday night
when five of the country candidates for
speaker of the House met at the Lochiel
hotel in Harrisburg for a conference as
to the best way in which to defeat the
plans of the Philadelphia delegation to
make H. K. Boyer speaker. There were
present at this conference Ward R. Bliss
of Delaware; W. C. Smith, of Bedford
George Kunkle, of Harrisburg; John R.
Fair, of Lackawanna, and B. K. Forcht
of Union. They were in secret conclave
several hours and late that night announc
ed that there would be a vigorous fight of
the country members against those of the
city on this question, Ward R. Bliss is
the leader in the movements against
Boyer and believes the country will win.
After the conference they gave out an
authorized statement to the effect that
they are fully satisfied that the country
members can easily control the organi
zation of the next House, and that in
spite of the claims made to the contrary
the assurances from all parts of the State
show that the rural members are fully
united and aroused on this question,
They say that the contest over the organ
ization of the next House should be
keot entirely apart from the contest for
United State Senator. They also think
that in view of the factional troubles in
the Republican party in Philadelphia,
the speaker should not come from that
city, as that would mean the transfer
ence of these unfortunate differences to
Harrisburg. They say the country mem.
bers have no interest in these Philadel
phia contests.
In the last seven sessions Philadelphia
has had the presiding officer of the Sen
ate five times and of the House four
times. Reference is made to the fact
that within recent years the country
combined successfully on the speaker
ship sgainst Allegheny ard Phila
delphia. Another meeting will be held
a week before the session meets.
A conservative poll of the next Senate
shows that the sound moiiey strength in
that body will consist of 46 votes while
silver will have \i votes, leaving one
vacancy and one doubtful. Legislatures
chosen Nov. 3d will elect a number of
Senators to the next Congress, and in
everal cases sound money men will be
elected to succeed the present silverites. i
Voorhees, of Indiana, Blackburn of Ken
tucky; Cameron, ol Pennsylvania; and
Hill, of New York, will all be succeeded
by sound money Republicans. Palmer,
of Illinois, who is a sound money man,
will be succeded by a sound money Rep
ublican. Hansbrough, of North Dakota,
will be succeeded by a sound money Rep
ublican. These and other changes will
give the sound money element in the
next Senate a clear working majority.

FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR.

Election Notes.
The official returns of the late election
hav; been received at the State Depart
ment from every county in the Slate.
They give McKinley and Hobart 726,998
votes and Bryan an< l Sewall 422,054: Re
publican plurality, 304,944- The Prohi
bition electors polled 19,274: People s
Party,6,io3; Free 5i1ver,5,073; Jefferson
ian, 11, coo; McKinley Citizens 1,302;
Socialist Labor, i,€j3; National, 870.
The actual gain in the Republican elec
toral vote over that of four years ago is
about 215,000. The vote of Bryan and
Sewall as cast by the Democratic and
Free Silver parties will be consolidated.
The vote for the Presidential electors in
the McKinley-Citizens' column will also
be added to the regular Republican elec
tors. By this arrangement the total vote
for McKinley and Hobart is 728,300
Bryan and Sewall, 427,127; Republican
plurality, 301,173.
Galusha A. Grow leads the candidates
for Congrecs-at-Large with a total of
710,716 votes: His colleague, Samuel A
Davenport of Ei*e, polled 708,104 votes.
Jerome T. Ailman, of Mifflintown, the
Populist-Democrat, leads his colleague,
DeWitt C. DeWitt, their respective votes
being 416,476 and 4 l2 >°5 1 - Abraham A.
Barker, Prohibitionist, polled 18,376
George Alcorn, Prohibitionist, 18,031;
James P. Correll, People's 7,482.
Governor Hastings issued a proclama
tion Saturday Morning declaring the el"
ection of the twenty-eight district Con
gressmen and two Congressmen-at-large
Of these George J. Benner, Nineteenth
"district; Daniel Ermeutrout, Ninth dis
trict and William McAleer, Third dis
trict, are Democrats. The rest are Rep
ublicans. Benner and Ermeutrout were
elected on a free silver platform, yet
they are personally sound money men
and will vote against free coinage. Mc-
Aleer was elected because he was a gold
Democrat. This makes practically a
solid sound money delegation from Penn
sylvania in the next Congreis.
It will be seen by the foregoing vote
that the People's and Prohibition parties
have failed to poll two per cent of the
total and will not be entit'ed to certify
their nominations next year.
'HHHWTaouiaung the vote. They used
the adding machine in footing up the big
columns and even with this wonderful
machine it was a big job.
Official returns from all the counties
of Ohio make the vote of the State i,-
015. 592- McKinley's plurality over
Bryan is 50,150. and the Republicojs
majority over all in the state is 35,698.
Two counties Dauphin and Clearfield
delayed the official computation of the
vote of this State by failing to send in
their returns promptly. Owing to the con
solidation of the vote of the People's and
Free Silver parties in many counties with
the regular Democratic vote for Bryan and
the first two parties will lose their identi
ty and be compelled by their failure to
cast less than two per cent of the total
vote to nominate their State ticket by
nomination papers. The People's party
casts about 6,0c0 and the Free Silver
about s,cco votes.
Counting all the votes cast for the Mc-
Kinley electors, his vote in his state is
728,300, and counting all the votes cast
for the Bryan electors his vote is 453,-
230, making McKinley's plurality over
Bryan in the state 275,070.
Perry A Shanor formerly of Prospect,
was elected to the W. Va., legislature
from the Sistersville district.
Complete official returns from all the
counties of Kentucky show that Smith one
of the Bryan electors, run 2,crD ahead of
the lowest McKinley elector, and is el
ected. The other 12 Bryan electors run
from 300 to 700 behind 12 of the McKin
ley electors. The total vote of the State
was 444.243 as follows: McKinley, 218,-
°55, Bryan 217, 797, Palmer 5,018, Lever
'nK 3>374. McKinley's average plurality
was 257 on the vote for electors.
Kentucky did nobly. There was a
change of over 64,000 votes over the vote
for Cleveland in 1892.
Westmorland Co gave 4000 Republican
majority, and elected every thing insight.
Clearfield Co. dropped out of the Dem
ocratic column and is now a Republican
county. At the recent election the entire
Republican ticket was elected by majori
ties from 600, to 15000.
The State canvassing board of Ken
tucky may refuse to count McLean coun
ty in the vote of the State in the recent
election, as it simply certifies that Bryan
received 1,389 votes and McKinley 935,
without naming the electors. This de
fect will not invalidate the election of
Smith, who headed the Democratic elec
toiial ticket, as he will still be ahead of
Mason, who was on the Republican
ticket. Smith can now only be defeated
by the rejection of the vote of Owen
county, which rests with the btate Con
test board. It is before the Contest
board that Col. Breckenbridge has begun
his fight for a seat in Congress on the
claim that Owen county should be j
thrown out because of fraud.

THE poet of the Nebraska State Jour
nal has enriched the English language i
with a new adjective of his own inven- 1
tion: I
"The fight is done, and those who won
I'm very glad for.
While those who met defeat, you bet,
I feel danibad for."
Is this word tolerable? Can the critics
allow it to remain in any page of the dic
tionary?
The Extra Session.
A special from Washington dated last
Friday reads aa follows:
As it is regarded as certain that Presi
dent McKinley will convene the Fifty
fifth congress in extraordinary session
next spring, a good deal of interest ss
felt in the organization of the two branch
es of congress. In the senate there may
be a contest for control between the two
parties. As now constituted the Demo
crats and their allies hold all the offices
while the Republicans have the commit
tees and the offices pertaining thereto.
As the new senate is bound to be close
politically and especially on the financial
question, the Democratic officers are pul
ling the wires to retain their places. If
they can combine the votes of the Demo
crats, Populists and silverites upon them
selves they may be successful. On the
other hand, the sliver Republicans, who
stood upon the St Louis platfoini in the
last campaign, can furnish the vote that
will wrest the senate from Democratic
control. They may decide upon this
course, and especially as silver's only
hope is in Republicans hands. But a
compromise may be the result —the
Democrats giving up some of the patron
age and retaning the rest.
In the house it is probable that the old
officers will be re-elected without much
of a contest. Of course there is talk of
opposition to the re-election of Speaker
Reed, but it is talk and nothing else, and
can be traced to Democratic sources.
Grosvcnor of Ohio, Hopkins and Cannon
of Illinois, Hepburn of lowa and others
are urged by these Democratic wire-pul
lers for the place, but it is a 100 to 1
shot that Mr. Reed will be re-elected,
and his election may be unanimous, like
it was last Decouibar. Clerk McDowell
of Pennsylvania, Doorkeeper Glenn of
j New York and Postmaster McElroy of
, Ohio are certain of re-election. The first
J two have made good records in their
' positions, are popular with the members
and can count upon the support of the
bulk of the members who voted for them
before. They will have opposition prob
ably, as some of the members did not get
the amount of patronage that they desir
ed in the present house. It will require
less than 1 10 votes to control the Repub-
Jim umu allegations, by stand
ing together, as they did the last time
j will furnish 7i of the necessary majority.
Thus about 39 votes will be needed to re
elect these officers and they can be secur
j ed. Sergeant-at-Arais Russell may be
. compelled to fight for re-election. In
r the last caucus he had the 10 republican
, votes from Missouri behind him, but in
the next caucus he will have but 3 votes
from that state. Chaplain Couden of
Michigan will also stand a good show for
? re-election, as he is not only a soldier
1 butis blind at that.
The greatest interest in the organ iza
-1 tion of the house centers in the composi
-1 tion of the various committees. Speaker
I Reed, it is believed, was well satisfied
■ with the make-up of the committees of
> the present bouse aud will hardly change
1 the personnel unless the members affect
! Ed desire it. But he will havt an un
f usually large number of vacancies to fill,
r caused by the failure of members to se
cure renominations or re-elections, aud
as many of these vacancies are on im
■ portant committees, there will be quite a
s scramble for tnem.

THE SENATORIAL 00NTE8T OPENS.
Communication from the Philadelphia
Branch of the National League of Basi
net* Men to the Ei-Poitmaiter General,
and the Latter'* Reply.
PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 17.—The Philadel
phia branch of the National League of
Business Men held another important
meeting yesterday, which undoubtedly
will lead to developments that will have
great influence in the political affairs of
the state iu the near future. During the
campaign which ended in such a pro
nounced victory for the cause of sound
money organizations of business men all
over the country gave assistance that un
doubtedly had much to do with the sweep
ing character of the victory. Of these or
ganizations none was more prominent or
more vigorous than the McKinley and
Hobart business mens' national campaign
committee of Philadelphia.
One of thf great lessons of the campaign
was the utility of tho business man in po
litical affairs, and the necessity of his con
tinued interest as a Iwilance of power to
guard the interests of government, and
to insist upon economical and equit
able legislation in the interest of all con
cerned. This led to tho formation last
week of the National League of Business
Men, and when this was done the McKin
ley and Hobart campaign committee
formed itself into a permanent organiza
tion, and was enrolled as the Philadelphia
branch of the national organization. Yes
terday's meeting was the second in its
history, which is now so brief, but which
shows every indication of being long and
eventful.
This membership is thoroughly repre
sentative of tlm business interests of this
city. Since that first meeting so well
h.tve tho objects of the organization been
received that the membership has increased
rapidly, for there seems to be a well de
veloped idea that tho influence exerted
during the presidential campaign will
continuo to be felt during the coming
administration of Major McKinley. In
other words, the old political lines have
been broken to a largo extent, because
Republicans and Democrats stood
shoulder to shoulder in the fight for
honest money, in the interest of a sound
business policy for the nation, and while
no one can accurately estimate the in
fluence this National League of Business
Men will exert, the fact that it has the
sanction of the president-elect and of his
advisors is a strong indication that it
will have great power.
The most important business of the first
meeting, aside from the organization, was
the presentation of the name of John
Wanamaker as that of a representative
business man who would reflect credit on
the state as a member of the United States
senate. This was followed by mora de
cisive action at the meeting held yester
day. By a unanimous vote it was decided
to request Mr. Wanamaker to become a
candidate. For some time past there have
been newspaper references to Mr. Wana
maker's candidacy, but they have not had
any official basis. It was probably the
knowledge of this that led to the action
taken. The business men showed them
selves to be very much in earnest in the
matter, and were pointed in their insist
ence, as the following correspondence,
which of itself tells the story of the meet
ing, will show:
"PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 16,1896.
"Hon. John Wanamaker, Philadelphia, Pa.
"DEAR SIR—At a meeting of tho execu
tive committee of the Philadelphia branch
of the National League of Business Men,

The popular plurality for McKinley is
upwards of 800,000. The largest plurality
ever given before was lor Grant over Gree
ley in 1872, which was 762,951 Tilden's
plurality in 1876 wa j 250,935. Garfield's
iu 1880 was only 7,018. Cleveland's on his
first election was 62,683, and in 1892 it was

A Bunco Game Played.
The people of Girard, Pa., are indignant
over a game that was perpetrated upon
them during the past season. During the
spring a man calling himself Col. Mark
Fortune and several associates visited that
place and unfolded a project for establish
ing a Masonic University at that place. By
talking the matte? up he succeeded in
arousing a goneral interest and a subscrip
tion was started towards bringing the in
stitution there. A guarantee fund of sl2-
500 was subscribed by about forty respon
sible citizens.
The agreement sigaed was that if on
Oct. 1 the coll«ge bad been located and
offices in Girard opened, the money should
be paid. The college was located, and the
deeds for the land were deposited in a Gi
rard bark, to be delivered when the mon
ey was paid in. The projectors then hired
i offijes in Girard, which they equipped with
a typewriter aud u desk.
On October Ist there was presented for
collection to the Girard signers the agree
ment which they had signed. This paper,
which was in the shape of a negotionable
' paper, had beeu deposited at a Pittsburg
bank, endorsed and the i*oney presumably
collected thereon. The Girard signers,
growing suspicious, refused to pay it and
I it went to protest It has now found its
way into the hands of an Erie law firpi for
i collection.—Franklin News.
