This is the committee named by Chairman Keeder, in compliance with tho provisions of the resolution: Senator S. J. M. McCarrell of Ilar risburg, Crosby N. Black of Chester, Representative William 11. Keyser of Philadelphia. Banker I. W. Slokum of Lancaster, 'Squire Walter L. Jones of Allentown, S. S. Wright of Susquehan na and former District Attorney W. J. Whitehouse of Pottstown. Before the state committee adjourn ed Major Isaac B. Brown, of Erie, made a stirring speech, in which ho urged that an aggressive campaign be. waged from now on until election day in fa vor of McKinley and Roosevelt and the whole Republican ticket. He advocat ed a campaign upon national issues, which would appeal to the public spirit nnd the patriotism of the people of Pennsylvania and would arouse en thusiasm for the party nominees. PENROSE SCORES THE BOXERS. When Major Blown had concluded Chairman Reeder inquired of Senator Penrose if he cared to say anything. The young Philadelphia leader then commanded the attention of the meet ing. He left no room to doubt that he was in hearty sympathy with the action just taken in the adoption of the resolutions regarding the fusionists. Senator Penrose said it was incum bent upon the state committee to labor zealously for the success of the entire Republican ticket. He expressed the belief that the majorities for McKinley and Roosevelt in Pennsylvania will be larger than those given them by any other state in the Union, and that they would even exceed the Pennsylva nia majorities' of the last' national cam paign. There was a vital matter which the party leaders should give duo attention to, he then added, and that was the election of members of congress. He said it was almost as essential to the industries of Pennsylvania to elect a Republican congress as it is to elect a Republican president. Every dis trict that can possibly be carried should be thoroughly canvassed and a determined campaign made for the Re publican congressional nominee, it should not be forgotten that in the last congress there was but a narrow Republican majority of but 11 or 12, and that there are a nupiher of dis tricts in this state which could read ily bo lost without careful and per sistent work for the entire Republican ! ticket. He declared that it was of j paramount importance that the Re- | publican candidates in the senatorial j and state representative districts should receive the earnest support of i the Republican voters of the state, so j that there shall be a good Republican ! majority in the legislature. The Uni- ! ted States senator to be "lei led in Jan- , uary next should not be a mongrel j fusionist or Bryanite Democrat, but be should be a stalwart Republican, repre- j sentative of thi stalwart Republican- ; ism of Pennsylvania. Before the state committee adjourn- I ed William Henry Saven, of lie law .re county, was nominated to sut feed V.i ('. Arnold as elector at large, who had i declined the nomination from the state convention, and Dr. .i"hn Ely was chosen district elector, in place of ihej late Floyd Klnner, of Bradford county, j FARMER COPE AT WORK. Secretary of Agriculture Hamilton has issued a statement giving a re-1 view of the work done by Farmer Cope, 1 recently appointed pure food comnii - sioner. Secretary Hamilton was prompted to make this statement ow ing to the malicious and partisan at tacks made at Mount Gretna by a law yer named Kauffman, who is engaged j in helping the Fllnn-Martln combina-1 tion to discredit the present Republi can administration. Kauffman is a' paid agitator, who has been used for i political campaigning and with wle■.;>•! tactics the farmers of tin state are r»p-| idly becoming familiar. Secretary Hamilton in his statement says: "Mr. Cope was accused by Mr K: uIT-' ni.:n of failing to enforce the law re- j latlng to the manufacture and sale of oleomorgarlne in the state. Tho 1 ■ t answer to this accusation is tin fact \ that during the mouth of July the; dairy and food division of the depart-! merit of agriculture brought r,.: 'iitsj against oleomargarine dealoi hi Inn-i sylvaula, one in lllalr county, IK In j Philadelphia i unity, lie in No a.nu-1 berl,i..d, "0 In vUeghony, one in Wt »:-, morelatid. ti.i hi Cambria, an*'. v broil Kill .. ii* under the put . t law in Potter county Phil.u. : iu.ij county and elsewhere througho ' the state.

BOLD MISREPRESENTATION. "The whole affair is a sample of the misrepresentation that has been re sorted to in order to injure the reputa tion and influence of the pure food department of the state, and can only be intended to be used for political purposes in the hope that they may prejudice people against the state ad ministration. "If additional testimony of the un truthfulness of these people is needed it can be found in the additional fact that during the month of June of this year the pure food department brought 30 suits in Allegheny county under the oleomargarine law. Seven were tried and six were convicted. Seventeen were brought in Philadelphia, two In Schuylkill county, one in Lawrence, 15 in lilair, 13 of whom pleaded guilty and were sentenced; seven In Cambria, 12 in Westmoreland, one in Indiana, three in Fayette, two in Clearfield, one in Somerset, six in Dauphin, two in Crawford, six in Delaware, one in Montgomery county and seven pure food cases in Allegheny county, mak ing a total of 110 for the month of June brought by the dairy and food di vision of the department of agricul ture in a single month. ATTACK PURELY PARTISAN. "These facts ought to be sufficient to convince the people of Pennsylvania that the whole attack is purely parti san and selfish and without a single ground of justification. "Before the farming people of Penn sylvania accept the declarations of these demagogues they will do well to write to the department of agricul ture for the facts, which will be cheer fully given to all who desire to know the truth, so that there is no necessity for any one being misled, but by going to the department itself, either in per son or by letter, the facts will be very cheerfully given." Mr. Cope says he went to Mount Gretna with no idea of making a speech or any remarks at all on any subject, but that when Kauffman made such gross misstatements in regard to his work, he was compelled to protect himself. In regard to the statement of Mr. Kauffman that James Terry, of the Pittsburg district,, had been sent home by Commissioner Cope to aid the stalwart Republicans in the county primaries, Mr. Cope said that this is entirely wrong. "In July Mr. Terry asked for a va cation." said Mr. Cope. "He told me that he had not been home since Feb ruary. I did not know what county he was from or that he was not a resident of Pittsburg, and I told him he could have the time he asked for.l think it was three weeks. I told him he must return to his work before the first of August. When Mr. Kauffman declared that a cent a pound had been paid the department for protection to oleo dealers, I asked him who received the money, but he would not tell me." Commissioner Cope says that the trouble with Mr. Kauffman is that he is disgruntled because he has failed of an appointment as an attorney for the pure food department. Senator 'Foraker has been having some fun with the Bryanites recently, find lie is bound to pay his respects to gjlpATOll J. B FORAKBR. the Nebraska silver knight at this Phil adelphia meeting in characteristic style. Senator Foraker in his speech to the Union Veteran Republican club at Cin cinnati a few nights ago took up the Bryanite cry of "imperialism," and said: "This is not a new charge. Lincoln bad been accused of trying to establish an empire, and so, too, had Grant. But in neither ease was the charge any more true or just than In the present campaign. "Those two an n did their duty to the nation, and McKinley is doing his and doing ii o grandly ami insplringly that in it the Democrats lind their greatest complaint." Referring to the Philippines ho said that Spain had declared war against us. We went to Manila because our fleet could in.t stay in another nation's port more than 21 hours, and unless we time back to this country anil aban doned our • ommerce in the Orient it was necessary to find a port near by. He declared It was the intention of the president to give the largest liber ty to the natives, aud as they proved themselves worthy to let them partici pate in i lie islands' government. He could not trc.it with a man with a gun in his hand who was perpetually on the run. It wu> first necessary that he should lie caught and subdued Wlo u thli was done it would be proper to turn attention to other matters, but now the flag must be upheld.
