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."
