A CHANGED PROGRAM The original program of the Guffey ites was to clean out the Philadelphia Democracy. But t.iey wero called down by Chairman Donnelly, of the Demo cratic committee of this city. He pointed out that the small vote for Creasy In Philadelphia was proportion ately no worse than the returns from Colonel Guffey's own county of Alle gheny showed, and that Lancaster and other counties of the state were quite as emphatic in turning down the Dem ocratic candidate for state treasurer, who thought he could be elected be cause he was smiled upon by the Wan amakers, the Flinns, the Martins and the others who have gone outside of the Republican orsanization, either t.o get office or seek revenge upon the men who have been chosen by the Re publican voters of the state to manage their organization. The executive committee of the Democratic state committee will ac cordingly appoint a committee to in vestigate the causes of the falling off of the Democratic vote in "certain counties of the state." And it will be found that Democrats as well as Republicans were disgusted with the "unholy alliance" of the Dem ocratic leaders with the repudiated Re publican Insurgents. THE OTHER SIDE. The insincerity of the political preachings of the Fllnn-Martins and their Democratic allies In Pennsylvania politics is again exposed in the wild rantlngs of the Democratic organ of Mr. Creasy's h*aie county over the crushing rebuke administered by the people to the men at the head of the campaign of pliarlseeism from which this state has just emerged. Mr. Creasy, a Bryanlte Democrat, went up and down the state calling upon Republi cans to desert their party candidate and vote for him. In this canvass he was assisted by all the Flinn-Martins of the so-called Republican insurgent combine. These Republican bolters, while still professing to be Republi cans, contributed time and money to the cause of the Democratic nominee for state treasurer. They wero indig nant whan they were accused of treach ery and disloyalty to the Republican party. Mr. Creasy's champions, with an assumed possession of all the vir tues, sought to make the people believe that it was no act of party disloyalty for a Republican to vote for Mr. Creasy and cut Colonel Barnett, because, al though they admitted that Colonel Barnett was nominated by the Republi can state convention without a single vote being cast against him, they said he was the candidate for"the ma chine." For this alleged reason Col onel Rarnett was not entitled to the support of the Republican voters, de spite the fact that their duly chosen representatives in convention assem bled had nominated him unanimously. This preaching of Creasy and the combination of Fllnn-Martins does not seem to have borne much fruit in the Republican party. Of course, many politicians attached to the old combine cut Barnett and voted for Creasy, but considering the character of the cam paign waged for many weeks and the Immense sums of money spent to de feat Colonel Barnett, the cutting done was quite immaterial. DEMOCRATIC INSURGENTS DE NOUNCED. But the hypocrisy of the men who were working up this boom for Creasy is revealed by the outburst of indigna tion that has come from the Demo cratic organ in Creasy's own county, of which he was at one time editor, the Democratic Sentinel, of Bloomsburg. It appears that some of the Democrats among his neighbors took Mr. Creasy and his insurgent allies at their word, and concluded that if it was not trea sonable for Republicans to cut their regularly nominated candidate for state treasurer. It could not be wrong for Democrats togo outside of their party and vote for Colonel Barnett. This many of them seem to have done, for the Creasy organ is frantic with rage over their having taken Creasy seriously and cut their ticket. GOOD READING FOR REPUBLICANS The Sentinel boldly charges that men who hold office through Demo cratic votes were dlßloyal to Creasy a* the recent election. Among other things. The Sentinel says: "Duty and common honesty d< - mand that we speak plainly. About • the first duty the Democracy of Co ' lubla county has to perform is to weed out. the traitors, and tlio Booncr ' he weeding out process be f gins the better for the party aud the people. Talk about ingrati tude. Men holding high official po i eltions have actually combined with the Republicans or quietly I etabbed the party in the back. It ! may be that men who so far forget themselves are happy over their ef forts 0> disorganize, but aTI hon;-.t and straightforward men will place the proper standard upon their principles and honor. "It don't pay to be dishonest in politics. If a Democrat can't be square with his party while In of fice he should be man enough to go squarely over to the Republi cans, so the public may know where to find him." It is suggested that at the next meet ing of the Fllnn-Martins Mr. Creasy be invited to be present in order that he may read the above editorial com ment for the benefit of the Republican officeholders, Fllnn and Martin, and the other bolting members of the legis lature" and the corps of Republican ex officeholders, headed by former Gov ernor Hastings, who have been co operating with the Democracy for the last two years. How many of then) will follow the advice from this Creasy organ and"go squarely over" to the Democratic party? PASSING OF M'MANES. The death of James McManos, the veteran Republican leader, was part of the history of the last week. In earlier days his political power in Philadelphia was great. He made and unmade candidates for office, and he was ever in the thick of the flgh*. He will be remembered for his executive ability as a leader* and rtow that old animosities have been forgotten, there will be few even among those who fought him hardest who will not say a kind word for him. ROOSEVELT A STALWART. A most conspicuous case in recent years is that of Theodore Roosevelt, who, while undoubtedly a sincere re former, was quick to realize that he could accomplish most good through the medium of the Republican organ ization to which he owed allegiance. While some of the notoriety seekingre formers, who have never accomplished anything practical, are still maligning Senator Piatt In the Empire state. Roosevelt has, with Piatt's aid, brought about many reforms in the govern ment of New York state. He has found that Piatt is not half as bad as the pro fessional reformers would have the people believe and that his services can frequently be utilized to the ad vantage of the citizens of his native state. The men who are waging war upon Colonel Quay in this state are also, through the Wanamaker newspapers of Philadelphia. attackingSenatorPiatt of New York and Senator Hanna of Ohio, and they find nothing good to commend in the administration of President McKinley. Editorial as saults upon the McKinley administra tion are becoming quite as conspicuous and as frequent as attacks upon t.ol onel Quay, and Senators Piatt and Hanna are roasted almost every day. How these men can expect Republicans to follow their selfish and insurgent leadership, when the welfare of the Republican party in the country de mands that there shall be n harmoni ous organization to start the battles of next year, is a mystery to practical minds Masses of the Voters Not Ready to Ee As sociated With the Democracy ou the Eva of a Great Presidential Battle. (Special Correspondence > Harrisburg, Nov. 28. —During the last week there have been a number of prominent Republicans here from dif ferent sections of the state on both of ficial and private business, and an op portunity has been afforded for sound ing them as to the sentiment in tho Republican party in their respective localities. The opinion was unanimous that the stalwarts are everywhere in n happy frame of mind as the result of the late election, and that the party organization was never In a more healthy condition to begin a presiden tial campaign. The success of so many county tickets where the outcome of the last election had been regarded a;? doubtful, was most gratifying, and now the closing up of the lines for the next year's fight with the Democracy indi cates a better feeling among Republi cans throughout the commonwealth. The complete route of the Democrats and their insurgent allies at the elec tion fairly dazed tho leaders of tho bolting Republican contingent. They have been trying ever since to reform their lines and to get themselves to gether. They have found that while a few disgruntled and disappointed ex officeholders, who still have aspira tions in the same direction, arc gettin?, together In Philadelphia tinder the Flinn-Martin leadership, with Wana maker money bags behind them, they are woefully lacking in followers. Re publicans of the rank and file want to fetand by the party organization with a presidential campaign coming on.and they have no Idea of joining an insur gent outfit which must co-operate with the Democracy if they hope to make any showing at the polls whatever. Thn Republicans of the interior counties realize that the only road to prefer ment Is through their organization, and they look over the long line of dis tinguished party leaders and see that they all found success through loyalty to their nartv organization. STONE STANDS BY DEWEY. An incident of the week was the emphatic manner in which Governor Stone expressed himself in condemna tion of the attempts of some of the yel low journals of the country to create a sentiment against Admiral Dewey on account of his having transferred the house with which he was presented. If there is one striking characteristic in the makeup of Pennsylvania's stal wart and big hearted governor it is his love of his home life. He Is devoted to his wife and children and is never more pleased than when he is sur rounded by members of his family. He is not given to running around to so cial functions, and he avoids occasions of this character, except where he feels It his absolute duty as the representa tive of the state government to bo present. When asked his opinion of the at tacks upon Admiral Dewey Governor Stone said: "I am disappointed with tne criticism on Admiral Dewey for deeding the house and lot given to him to his wife. I do not think the people understand or appreciate the motive which led him to make this deed. I believe that the Admiral was entirely right In giving the property to his wife, and I believe that instead of condemning him he should be sustained and approved. "I believe that the wife ought to own the home where the family live and that husbands and fathers ought to bo encouraged In deeding the homestead to the wife. She Is naturally the queen of «the home and should have title to the possession. "The unpatriotic act which some see In the admiral's deed to his wife has no foundation. A man in none the less a patriot and lover of his country be cause he makes the home where his wife and children live secure In the wife against his business enterprises and too frequent Improvident specula tions.
