SENATOR PENROSE SPEAKS.
"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
