"The action of the state convention in making an unequivocal declaration pledging the Republican organization of Pennsylvania to McKinley's re nominatlon," said Senator lioies Pen rose, emphatically, "was undoubtedly in accord with the sentiment of the Republicans of the state. The cam paign just closed with such gratifying results was conducted upon the issue that support of the Republican state ticket meant an indorsement of the McKinley administration and concur rence in the pledge of the platform of the Republican state convention to fa vor the renomination of the president. The verdict of the people of this com monwealth is eminently compliment ary to the McKinley administration, and when coupled with the splendid Republican victory in Ohio, the presi dent's own state, it makes a magnifi cent tribute from the American peo ple. The matter of the election of stalwart Republicans as delegates to the Republican national convention will now be taken up by the Republi can voters of the respective districts, and I have no doubt that no state in the Union will send a delegation to the next national convention which will more satisfactorily and truly represent the sentiments of the Republicans of their respective districts than will that from Pennsylvania." EX-CHAIRMAN ELKIN'S VIEWS. "The vote at last Tuesday's elec tion." said Attorney Oeneral John P. Elkin. "must be, indeed, gratifying to every sincere friend of the president. Pennsylvania will know no other choice for the presidency in 1900. A popular vote has already indicated the popular favorite. It now devolves upon the men identified with the party organization in the various congres sional districts to select stalwart., l epresentative Republicans who will goto the national convention pledged to President McKinley's renomination. It was a happy thought to have had the recent Republican state conven tion put the Republican organization on record thus early, and it is pleasing to find the sentiment of the voters of the st'ate so cordially concurring in the proposition. The splendid organi sation which has withstood the onslaughts of political insurgents and guerrillas for so many campaigns will be lined up against any efforts to break into the national delegation in the interest of any candidate other than President McKinley, and the organization will be found thoroughly competent to thwart any scheme or in trigue to divide the delegation against i President McKinley." GUFFEY WORKING FOR BRYAN. ! Colnel James M. Guffey. the mem ber of the Democratic national com mittee from Pennsylvania, and the acknowledged leader of the party in this state, is attending to the matter of selecting a Bryan delegation. Ha has within the last few days publicly declared that "nothing but declination or death can prevent Bryan securing the Democratic nomination for presi dent next year." Colonel Guffey,, it vill be recalled, was elected to tbetaa tional committee .when the fight was made upon William F. Harrity by the free silver men after the last presi dential election. The action of the last Democratic state convention in re ferring to William Jennings Bryan as "our matchless leader" expressed the] sentiment of the rank and file of the Democratic organization of this state. No matter what may be Colonel Guf fey's personal and private views upon the question of 16 to 1, or the income tax,' or the various other features of the iniquitous Chicago platform, hf 112 must at least pretend to believe in | them all if he wants to hold onto i the leadership of the Democratic ma- jj chine. The people of the state by the ■' vote at last Tuesday's election showed I conclusively that they recognized the fact that the Democratic candidates ?nd the Democratic leadership repre sented Bryanism and that a vote for the Democratic ticket could fairly be j construed as a vote of confidence in : l Bryan and the Bryan machine in ' Pennsylvania. The fact th£t the Democratic party in Pennsylvania re fuses to be divorced from Bryanism will ultimately mean that many for mer Democrats will cease to have any- ij thing to do with the Democratic party as at present constituted, and they jj vill ultimately become full fledged Re- * publicans. HOW IKILIKIATES ARE CHOSEN. The Democrats do not elect their ; delegates to the national convention ! in the same manner as the Republi- il cans. The Republicans name two del- j egates and two alternates from each congressional district in . the same | manner in which candidates for the I national house of representatives are i chosen. The delegates and alternates- ' at-large are elected by the Republi- : can state convention. In the Demo- ' cratle party the delegates tu the Demo- ; cratic state convention elect the ua- [ tional delegates. A majority of the ; state delegates from each congreesion al district racommend to the state con- ' vention the names of those th<jy de- j sire elected to the national convention ] and It, is customary for the conven- i tion to concur in these recommenda- ! tions. These district delegates, as well as the delegates and alternates-at large, must be elected by the state» convention THE NEWS IN BRIEF Telegraphic Gleanings From All Part; j of the World. 1 The League Island navyyard force j lias been reduced for lack of funds.
