GT'FFEYR DOI'RLE ROLE. Colonel .Tames M. Guffey, member of the i-emoeratic national committee from Pennsylvania, has been confer ring with his lieutenants in Pittsburg and Philadelphia. He is fresh from the meeting of the executive committee of the Democratic national commit tee, which was held last week at Chi cago. Colonel Guffey is co-operating heartily with the Bryanites, who are in absolute control of the Democratic national organization, and was present when the national committee adopted its address to the Democracy of the country, in which it said: "The national committee of the Democratic party in session at Chi cago to consider the work of party organization preparatory to the campaign of 1900. sends greeting to the Democracy of the nation, w ithnthe assurance that the prospect of Democratic success next year grows brighter every day, and we have every reason for confidence as to the outcome. "The great need now is party unity and thorough organization. The committee therefore appeals to our party friends in all states, and especially In the states where elections are to be held this year, to put aside all local differences wherever they exist and support the regular party tickets earnestly and enthusiastically, keeping al ways in view the great struggle of next year, and remembering that j in unity there is strength and in division weakness." With this appeal to Democrats to : stand by their party in the hope of success in next year's presidential ! lection still upon his lips. Colonel : Guffey returns to Pennsylvania tore- i iterate to Republicans, whose support ho seeks for the silverite candidates on his state ticket, that "this is an oil year campaign in Pennsylvania. Na tional politics has nothing to do with this canvass. State issues alone are ! involved. Republicans who want good , government should vote for the Dem- : ocratto ticket." But Republicans recognize the fact i that the greater the Democratic vote I in Pennsylvania this fall the more con- ' solation and encouragement will be given Bryan to make another desper- ! ate dash for the presidency next year. The greater the appeals of the Dem ocratic national committee to Demo crats of Pennsylvania to get together for next year's battle the less consid eration should Republicans give to the sincerity of their campaign cry of this being a state issue contest in Penu ry lvania. Colonel Guffey is not running the Democratic campaign in this state this fall for nothing. No one better than himself knows that there is not the ghost of a show for the election of any man on the Democratic ticket in Pennsylvania this year. He fully real izes that Mr. Creasy, the nominee of his party for state treasurer, is prac tically unknown to the voters of the state. The latter has not during the few years he served as an officeholder at Harrisburg done anything to at tract attention to himself beyond car rying out the plans outlined by the managers of the insurgent Republican organization. He has not been af filiated witli the active Democracy of the state and has neither their sympa thy nor hearty support in his present canvass. WANTS TO BE SENATOR. But Colonel Guffey has his own fish to frv. He would, of course, like to see a large Democratic vote polled this fall, but he is more eager to divide the Republicans wherever he sees it may l>e to his advantage in his aspirations for the United States senate. This is the meat in the jiolltical cocoanut which Colonel GufTey is giving his at tention to in this campaign. He wants to divide the Republicans as much as possible, In order to help his canvass for the United States senate. He has mapped out a great scheme for fusion tickets for the legislature next year, by which he hopes to defeat regular Republican nominees for the senate and the house. His address intended particularly for the voters of Chester county, endorsing the fusion movement in that county this fall, was designed to further the cause of the coidblna fio# of the Democrats i"id disgruntled Renublicans. who haven fusion on th i county officers. Ow iir u> ;• similar combine In this county hu'.t fall, the Democrats succeeded la < ijituiing two of the four memhera of the legislature from Chester, which ordinarily ought to i>e a stalwart Republican county. Guffey is pursuing the same tactics throughout the state, and whenever he sees a chance to divide the Republi cans locally he gives the Democrats all the encouragement possible. There will be show of fighting for the state ticket, but with the Republicanism of the commonwealth iftoused and a gen eral determination to support the Mc- Kiuley administration in its war policy the Democrats realize that they have no chance of electing any one, 011 their state ticket. They will, however, in local struggles do all in their power to disrupt the Republican organization in the hope of helping Guffey in his sen atorial canvass. bKYANISM RAMPANT. Massachusetts Democrats <;iv« the hie to State Issue Talk. The Democrats here in Pennsylvania tell us that "only state issues" are in volved in the campaign, and that ab solutely nothing will be at stake na tionally until next year, says the Phil adelphia Inquirer. It is not so. How. can it be, when everywhere else the lines are drawn strictly and victory is to be won or lost on the policies of McKinley and the Republican party? Indeed, Massachusetts lias actually opened the presidential campaign by electing CO delegates to the next na tional convention, every one of them instructed for Bryan. It was not done' without turmoil and strife, for it was only decent," proper and regular that national delegates should be elected at the state convention of next year, but the genuine Democrats in the con vention. by the aid of the police, were howled down and George Fred Will iams had his way. Free silver at 16 to 1, the destruction of trusts and so called "imperialism" were the main planks of the platform. The old Chi cago platform was endorsed, and the convention said of it: We pronounce that political code one written not for a year or for a single campaign, but for all time, being made up as it is of the fun damental principles of Democracy, upon the acceptance and enforce- I ment of which alone a free govern- | ment of. by and for the people can be maintained. Here in Pennsylvania that same plat- I form was endorsed, and Bryan was a< • | cepted as the "matchless leader." Hut i it is "only a state issue" in the cam paign here, so the Democrats tell us. j They are more honest in Massachu setts, and they are deadly in earnest there and in Nebraska and Ohio, and everywhere else for Bryan. It is only here in Pennsylvania that they try to pull the wool over the eyes of the peo ple. It must require a deal of courage for ! an honest Democrat in these days to I acknowledge allegiance to his party listen, for instance, to this malicious harangue from one Christopher T. Cal lahan, who presided temporarily over the Massachusetts convention: If ever murder was committed in the name of war. the hands of the Republican party are now, in- j deed, dripping red with it. Crying t Christianity, they preach the doc- j trine of might against right. Now compare this speech with the address issued by the Anti-imperial ist League, which is to hold a confer ence in Chicago 011 Oct. 17. to plan for the further spread of its treacherous doctrine and to "crystallize opposition to the president's policy." It says: it is true that in doing this the anti-imperialists must denounce Mr. Mckinley individually because he unlawfully initiated the slaugh ter in the Philippines, by his dec laration of war, Dec. 21. 1898. at a time when the United States was solemnly bound by the protocol to preserve the status. What an infamous lie that is! No Republican will accept it for an instant, and what genuine Democrat can? And yet the Bryan convention of Massachusetts did so. This anti-imperialist doctrine i.; Bryanism pure and simple. They understand it very well out in Nebraska, and how dignified is the re ply of the Nebraska Republicans to the attitude, of Bryan's followers! The Republicans say of the war in their platform: While we deplore the insurrec tion in the Philippines, yet we rec ognize the duties and obligations imposed upon our nation by the ■ victory of our navy and the match less valor of our arms, resulting in the treaty of Paris, which im posed upon the president the duty of maintaining the authority of the United States over the territory acquired thereby, and so long as there is one gun pointed at an American soldier, so long as there is an armed enemy assaulting our flag, so long must patriotic and loyal Americans uphold our presi dent in effecting protection, tran quility anil peace to all who recog nize our lawful occupation. That is patriotism and honesty. Which is the higher type of American citizenship, that represented by the Nebra-ska Republicans or that of the Massachusetts Democrats and tl»e Anti-Imperialist league? Columbia county, being the home of William T. Creasy, the Democratic candidate for state treasurer, the po litical interest is naturally centering more or less around the fight between Colonel Rarnett and Mr. Creasy, say* a special dispatch from Bloomsburg. Pa. Probably no better illustration of the status of political matters, and especially pertaining to the state treas urer tight in Columbia county, could be given than an abstract from an edi torial in this week's Columbia County Republican, which invariably voices the sentiment of the Republican party In Columbia county, and which reads as follows: "Columbia county veterans cannot be easily deceived, because too many of them heard Parmer Creasy in the early part of the summer, at the Grange picnic, in Sugerloaf township, lament over the fact that the pen sions paid by the government Imposed such a heavy burden upon the taxpay ers of the country.
