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.
