WAItHEX of Slnmk. llarrisburg, Sept. 12. —That there was a carefully planned scheme on the part of certain disappointed politicians to effect a fusion with the Democracy on the state ticket was known to lead ing men in the Republican party for some time. The plan contemplated the withdrawal of Charles J. Reilly. the Democratic nominee for superior court justice, and the substitution of the name of Justice Dimner Beeber for his on the Democratic state ticket. This was to be done with the understand ing that the Democrats were to support Beeber for the superior court in re turn for Republican votes which were to be thrown to Creasy, the Demo cratic candidate for state treasurer. Even if this deal had been consum mated there would not have been the slightest danger of the deteat of either Lieutenant Colonel James E. Harnett or Josiah R. Adams, the candidate on the Republican ticket against whom ibis intrigue was directed. For every disgruntled Republican who would have supported a scheme or this char acter there would have been a dozen Democrats who would liavo repudiated it and voted the Republican ticket. The men who were engineering this project were sorely disappointed last week, when Justice Dimner Beeber came out in a public announcement that he would have nothing to do with the proposed fusion scheme. JUSTICE BEEBER A REPUBLICAN. This is Justice Beeber's statement as given to the newspapers: "1 cannot be a candidate of any party now. I am bound by the ac tion of the convention, and the nomination having gone elsewhere, I am no longer in the field. 1 do not feel that I could accept an in dependent nomination, as good faith to the convention and to the Republican party requires that I should not, and therefore I will not." This manly stand taken by Justice Beeber was generally commented upon 11s indicating that he is deserving of the greatest consideration at the hands of the men identified with the Repub lican organization. It was recalled that throughout the canvass in favor of the successful candidate for this nomination not a single word was said derogatory to Justice Beeber. His an nouncement blocks the game of the men back of the guerrilla warfare which has been waged against Josiah R. Adams, the Republican nominee for justice of the superior court. The at tempts to arouse opposition to him in the Republican party have been puerile and ridiculous. Justice Beeber in re fusing to be a cat's-paw for the men are working for personal interests in politics will impress those who have not the pleasure of personal acquaint ance with him with his good judgment and manliness of character. The Democratic leaders, as well as their Republican allies, were greatly disappointed when they read Justice Beeber's announcement. Colonel Jas. M. Oulfey, the Democratic national committeeman, who went all the way from Pittsburg to Philadelphia to be on hand to push through the fusion scheme, was the first to recover his equilibrium. Like the fox with the inaccessible grapes, he concluded to at once make the best of a bad situation, and he promptly gave out an interview in which he said he would never have favored a fusion plan. He admitted, however, that such a proposition had been under discussion for some time, but Insisted that 110 conclusion had been reached. SOUR GRAPES FOR OUFFEY. "I for one," said the gallant Colonel Guffey. without even as much as a smile upon his countenance, "would not favor any such plan. 1 am satisfied the sentiment is too strong throughout the state for a straight Democratic ticket to gain any support for a split ticket." Democratic State Chairman Rilling followed the next day with a "me too" interview to the same effect, but there was a marked expression of disap pointment upon all the workers about the Democratic state headquarters over the collapse of the fusion scheme. This was their second failure to form a combination to help their state candidates in this campaign. They made a desperate effort to have the Prohibitionists put Creasy upon their ticket for state treasure.
