Philadelphia, Nov. 27. —Republicans of Pennsylvania have Just been given another exhibition of the extent to which the Insurgents of the Martln- Flinn type will goto prevent the elec tion of the choice of the majority of the Republican members of the legislature tti the United States senate. William Flinn, of Pittsburg, the ac knowledged leader of the insurgents, held a conference in this city last week with James M. Guffey, the Bryanite member of the Democratic national committee from Pennsylvania, regard ing the organization of the legislature and the election of a United States sen ator to succeed Col. Quay. Flinn real izes that he and his followers are in :i hopeless minority In the Republican patty, and that he has togo to the Democracy for support in his schemes. In a free and fair fight at the Repub lican primaries Flinn and his friends weie successful in but seven counties in Pennsylvania, and outside of his own machine following in Pittsburg ami the Martin henchmen in Philadel phia there is less than a score of Re publican members of the legislature who will co-operate with him. REGULARS IN MAJORITY. The regular Republicans, with a ma j irity in both the senate and the house, are entirely satified with the situation, but it does seem strange that men wishing to be regarded as Republicans should be conspiring with Democrats to defeat the will of the majority in the Republican party. Even though they had a secret com pact in the last campaign to defeat reg ular Republican candidates for thj leg islature, who would not submit to dom ination from Flinn or Martin, the In surgents and Democrats were badly routed in every county in which they made their most conspicuous effort. The people were not with them, nor are ihey now. But Flinn and Guffey have their personal ends to serve, and they are going to do all in their power in make trouble for the regular Re publicans at Harrisburg, even if they cannot prevent Col. Quay's election. Their first effort will lie to agree upon a candidate for speaker of the house of representatives. There are many difficulties in the way of a deal on the speakership, especially in view of the fact that the stalwarts have a major ity in the house, and the regulars have no doubt about the election of their favorite, Representative W. T. Mar shall, of Allegheny, as speaker. Republicans who may be opposed to Col. Quay's election to the senate will hesitate before committing themselves 'o a losing game in the organization of 'he house, on account of the local In terests directly involved. A deal on the speakership would mean promises tr the Democracy of clerkships and other patronage which properly belongs to Republicans in this stalwart Republi can state. It would mean the giving of important places on committees to Democrats, and thus depriving the Re publican party of credit for any im portant legislation which may be pass ed. and for which credit should be given. The appropriations to charita ble institutions and hospitals, where patients are treated free, have always been made through Republicans on the appropriation committee, and the party has been commended for its liberality in this direction. The generous appropriations to the public schools of Pennsylvania have been made under Republican auspices, and the Republican party has been justly ptaised for its action in this nuiiter. The schemes contemplated by Flinn and Martin is to place Democrats In position to take credit for what should properly belong to the Repub lican party and thus give the Demo cratic members an undue share of the glory and deprive the Republican mem bers of an opportunity of advancing the interests of their party organiza tion. THINK OF THE FUTURE. Members of the legislature elected as Republicans will hesitate a long time If i bey consider the interests of their i otistitueuts and their party before tin v allow their names to be associated with a scheme which permits Guffey and his cohorts to step into places be longing to Republicans by the votes nf the people, aud which should be em ployed to advance the interest of the itepublicau party. \ speaker elected by a combination of Democrats and insurgents would linve to give due recognition to the Democrats in all his appointments. ii nd accordingly the Republicans would *u tier. ItOW AMONG THE DEMOCRATS There Is a lively row on betweeu • \sral of the Democratic aspirants for the speakership, for the honor of their caucus nomination None of the Demo unts are thinking al>out bolting their party caucus. They are leaving all the bolting to lie doue by tile Hepubli ii. n Insurgents. They see no Itenefli to lie derived for the Democratic |iarty through bolting, so they are determin ed to stand together. The rivalries be i.veen Ihe aspirants for the Democratic nomination for the speakership uiay. however, lead lo trouble later on. Guf l'iy Is supposed to want George It Dixou, of ISIk county, for the lieiuo i I'atlc candidate for apeakei or to have hiui get the caucus uomluatiou. so that the Dauiuwais »Ui b« tied uu uutli U» cat deliver rueffl over in a body in any deal he may make with Fllnn. Creasy of Columbia, Palm of Craw ford and Burnett of Monroe are also spoken of for the Democratic nomina tion for speaker, and they may get Into a snarl before the caucus shall be held. WANTS DEMOCRATIC HARMONY. A fight In the Democratic ranks will not be pleasing to Flinn, as he Is anx ious to have all the Democrats turn in for Hall, of Pittsburg, one of his fol lowers. In the event of Hall's election to the speakership Flinn would guaran tee that the Democrats will be well cared for in the matter of committee appointments and patronage. Gen. Koontz. of Somerset, is another Insurgent mentioned for speaker. While Fllnn and Martin can probably turn In all of their followers to carry out any deal Fllnn and Guffey may make It Is not at all probable that many of the so-called insurgents In interior counties will risk their political futures in a combination with Guffey Democrats against the regular Republican nomi nee. Representative Marshall, of Alle ghey. was in this city last week and met Representative Ke.vser, of this city, and McClain. of Lancaster, stal wart Republicans, both of whom were announced as candidates for the speak ership. They both assured Mr. Mar shall that they were in favor of his election and that they had no dobht about his winning the speakership. Following the many county delega tions which had already declared in his favor, Dauphin county last week unanimously indorsed Mr. Marshall for speaker and pledged him its four votes in the house of representatives. These representatives, with Senator-elect Fox, of Dauphin, also pledged themselves to go Into the Republican caucus on the United States senatorship and vote for Col. Quay for senator. During the last week the insurgents have been working a sort of flim flam game upon the Republicansof the state. They have been taking out and out in surgents, men who voted against Col. Quay at the last legislature, and her alding them as converts to the insur gent movement. They preface these declarations with statements that these men have been counted upon by friends of the Beaver statesman to vote for Quay and they then follow this up with the announcements, with big dis play articles in the insurgent news papers, giving "another Quay loss." That they believe the people at large do not follow up these matters closely Is quite ap'parent, for anyone familiar with the facts can at once see that these stories are fakes pure and simple, and are Intended to mislead the people in the counties where attempts may be made to bribe members of the legisla ture to join the insurgent cause. In commenting upon the arguments of the subsidized newspapers of this city In urging Republicans to Join with the Democrats In the organization of the legislature, the Commercial Ga zette, of Pittsburg, says: "That the item of party regularity is the most valuable of all assets, and that without this no organization can maintain its Influence or even its exist ence, is a truth against which no sophistry can prevail. 'Pitiable, indeed, is the confession of weakness made by The Phess when It seeks justification for bolting party caucuses and primaries in the declara tion that others have done the same. "The Philadelphia insurgent organ editorially advises its readers that there la no party obligation that com pels them to respect the decisions of the Republican primaries or the Re publican caucus. In the recent cam paign it urged defeated insurgent can didates to join with Democrats in order to defeat at the polls the stalwart Re publicans nominated at the Republican primaries. Failing in this effort to se cure majority legislative control The Press now vehemently declares that insurgent mambers must not take part in the senatorial or organization cau cuses, contending that the party rules and usages do not impose such an ob ligation. "The primary and the caucus are the means through which the will of the party is ascertained. Once ascertained, it should be binding on all members of the party. The party will is ascertain ed for the purpose of being obeyed. The policy of The Press is to subvert !he ascertained will of the party." Xrw l.lnr to llie I'lit-lllr. SAI.T I.AKIC CITY. Nov. J.'!.
