With ItN l.csson I'or Flinn. (Specta 1 Correspondence.) Philadelphia, June 2fi.—Now thut the Republican national ticket has been placed in th« field, those who watched ihe proceedings of the convention and the preliminary work of the party leaders must give due credit to the del egates from Pennsylvania and their leader for the strengthening of the ticket by insisting upon the selection of Col. Roosevelt as the nominee for vice president. The Pennsylvania del egation to the national convention, with the exception of the half dozen Flinn-Martin insurgents, can claim the credit for the nomination of Roosevelt, for they led off with the first indorse ment for this honor, and they consist ently and persitently advocated his nomination for the good of the party. It Is know that Senator Hanna and oth ers close to the administration, while admitting that the president did'' not propose to espouse, the cause of any candidate for second place, were using all their energies and ingenuity to bring about the nomination of former Secretary o£ the Interior Bliss, of New York; Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, or Representative Doliver. of lowa, during the early days of the canvass, and then they switched off to Secretary of the Navy Long. The leaders went so far as to proclaim, on the day before the nomination was made that Secre tary Long could not be beaten, and that Governor Roosevelt's nomination was au impossibility. QUAY KNEW THE SITUATION. But they did not know the temper of the delegates to the convention. There was a positive and emphatic de mand from the rank and file of the del egates for Roosevelt, because they be lieved that the people wanted him on the ticket with McKinley. Col. Quay was the first of the mem bers of the national Republican com mittee to publicly declare in favor of Col. Roosevelt's nomination for vice president, and as chairman of the dele gation from the Keystone state his declaration was given due weight. The former national chairman was care ful to disclaim any personal interest in the nomination of Col. Roosevelt, Init said he took that position for pure ly selfish reasons in a desire to advance the interests of the state. He argued that it was important to Pennsylva nia's immense industries to have the election of the Republican national ticket made a certainty, and that with Roosevelt upon the ticket there would be a guarantee that the Democracy would not have a chance of winning out in November. The defeat of the Republican ticket and the election of Bryan, he said, would mean a shrink age of values in Pennsylvania alone of over $500,000,000. This could be surely prevented by the selection of a man like Col. Roosevelt, whose nomination would make the carrying of New York an easy matter for the Republican par ty. At the same time, it would in spire the Republicans of the entire country with confidence and giw the party organization an oportunity to as sume the aggressive from the very outset of the campaign. With the co operation of men like Senator Piatt, of New York: Senator Wolcott. of Colo rado: Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, Senator Slump, of Idaho; H. C. Payne, of Wisconsin, and other stalwart Re publican leaders in different parts of the country, Col. Quay was enabled to impress upon the doubtful delegates the wisdom of turning in for Roosevelt. Up to the very morning Col. Roosevelt was nominated the Wanamaker news papers of this city persisted in printing predictions that Roosevelt's nomina tion was an impossibility, and that Secretary of the Navy Long would be the candidate for .vice president. They were determined to prevent, if possible, the letting Col. Quay and his friends of the Pennsylvania delegation get the credit for being the first to turn in for the winning candidate. Following Col. Quay's publis state ment for Roosevelt, the Pennsylvania delegation O ot together in caucus and the insurgents carried out their regu lation tactics. They insisted that it was too soon to take action. Flinn, of Pittsburg, was their spokesman, and he had David Martin's solitary delegate from Philadelphia to stand by him from this city. Fifty-two of the G4 del egates went on record for Roosevelt at the first meeting of the delegation, and within a few hours all but the six fol lowers of Flinn and Martin were work ing with Col. Quay for the nomination of Col. Roosevelt. Following the Pennsylvania delega tion the Kansas delegates, after confer ring with Col. Quay, met in caucus and indorsed Roosevelt, and after that Col. Quay's friend, 11. C. Payne, of Wiscon sin, got the delegates from that state together and they unanimously de clared for the rough rider. CONDENSED DISPATCHES.
