TWO VOTES FOR REGULARS.
Authentic announcements that both
Muehlbronner and Sproul will act with
regulars, at once exploded the Insur
gents' claims.
Senator Muehlbronner, because, pos
sibly, he resides in Allegheny county,
was stated to be under obligations to
Senator William Fllnn, of that county,
the Insurgent leader.
Mr. Muehlbronner disposed of this
report in a most emphatic manner in
an authorized public statement.
"I am not a party traitor," said
Senator Muehlbronner. "I have al
ways been a Republican and I pro
pose to vote with the Republicans nnd
not with the Democrats. It has always
been my policy to act with the major
ity in my party, and it is my inten
tion to adhere to that principle, which
1 believe to be right and proper, for
upon our support of this policy will
depend the success of the Republican
party."
"For whom do you intend to vote
for president pro tem. of the senate?"
Senator Muehlbronner was asked.
"I believe, in fact I am convinced,
that a large majority of the Republi
can members of the state senate favor
the re-election of Senator William P.
Snyder, of Chester county, for that of
fice, and I intend to support him. I
have no doubt of his election.".
Senator Muehlbronner will go into
the Republican caucus on the United
States senatorßhip and will vote for
Col. M. S. Quay to succeed himself.
SNYDER IS A WINNER.
Senator Sproul, although he co
operated with the insurgents during
the last session. Is a stanch supporter
of Senator Snyder for president pro
tem. of the senate.
With a view of getting them to Join
their ranks the insurgents, despite
their secret arrangement with the
Democrats to elect Senator Cochran
democratic president pro tem., have
been making overtures to Senator
Sproul. They have promised to sup
port him for president pro tem. if he
will co-operate with them.
"I knew that Senator Sproul was be
ing urged to become a candidate
against me even before I saw the an
nouncement to that effect in the news
papers," said Senator Snyder in dis
cussing the matter. "No sooner had
the statement appeared in print, how
ever. than I received a letter from Mr.
Sproul stating that he would vote for
me for president of the state senate
and adding that he was not a candi
date. and that he had no intention of
opposing me for re-election.
"1 might also add that 1 have more
than enough votes pledged me to as
sure ray election," remarked Senator
Snyder.
Another member of the state senate
who has been heard from within the
last few days is Senator E. B. Harden
bergh, of Wayne county, the auditor
general-elect, who will co-operate with
the stalwarts during the balance of his
term in the senate.
lIARDENBERGH SPEAKS OUT.
Ir their campaign of mlsrepreseuta- {
tion the Insurgents started a report
l hat Senator Hardenbergh had fallen
out with the regulars over the ques
tion of patronage in his new office.]
Thiß story was quickly disposed of b>
Senator Hardenbergh in a public state
ment, in which he said:
"1 am of the opinion that It is th.
moral duty of every member elect
ed to the legislature to follow the
usage prescribed by the party with i
which he is affiliated, either In or
ganising the legislature, selecting
a candidate for United States sena-
concerning legislation of a
partisan character. As to the es
tablished custom for the Republi
can members of the legislature to
i uncus on matters of this descrip
tion in order to ascertain the will
of the majority. 1 feel obligated
as a member of the Republican par
ty to participate In such caucus,
while I am under no obligation to
sustain any candidacy for any posl-
I lull.
"I Intend to support Hon. M 8.
Quay in the senatorial caucus and
\<ite for the nominee of such can
i nn, be he Mr. Quay or some other
• ctson. ! also Intend to support
S'-urter W. P. Snyder for president
pro tem. of the senate.
As to tbe dlaagreement over the
patronage of the auditor general's
otlioa, nothing of the kind haa taken
place No peraon prominently con
nected with the party baa ever of
fered a suggestion regarding the
patronage of the department. Wheu
I am Installed tu the auditor gen
eral's office I will eudeavor to con
duct the same in the Interests of
tl.e whole commonwealth iu mak-
In thla atatement 1 am not actuated
or Influenced by factional feeling,
but from A sense of fairness I
greatly deplore the conditions
which are manifestly dlsturblug
I .arty harmony, as I have warm
reraonai friends on either side of
the coutroveray "
Not only have the state senator*
i.e.-n lining up in good style with the
stalwarts in the legislature, but the
members of the house who have been
put iu the doubtful claaa are curniug
to the front la vigorous fashion
It happened that In lh« Sixth rep
'"SMIUII** district of Philadelphia. |
'tu wag h local jiiteicii.es Hepiesenta
i.ve James Mt-Cui|uell. a staunch Uuay
man tnroughout the deadlock on the
United States senatorship, was not re
elected. A young Republican, David
J. Smyth, was successful in securing
the Republican nomination for the
house in this district. He was elected
by a good majority. In accordance
with their policy in other sections of
the state, the insurgents put Repre
sentative-elect Smyth down as an an
ti-Quay man, and cited the fact that
he had defeated a man who had voted
for Quay at the last session.
INSURGENT GAIN EXPLODED.
Representative Smyth has disposed
of this insurgent newspaper yarn, and
placed himself squarely on record with
the regulars.
"I can conceive of but one course to
be pursued by a loyal and consistent
Republican in the matter of the organ
ization of the legislature of Pennsyl
vania and the election of a United
States senator," said Representative
elect Smyth last evening. "Although
but a young man, and this will be my
first session, I am satisfied that there
is but one thing for a Republican to
do, who is a member of the legislature.
He must stand by his party organiza
tion; he must stand by his party; he
must vote for a choice of a majority of
the Republican members of the legis
lature for officials of that body, and he
must support the candidate of a major
ity of the Republicans for United
States senator.
"This is my first experience as a pub
lic official, but I am satisfied that I can
make no mistake in conforming with
the time-honored usages and customs
of my party and complying with the
will of a majority of my party. I come
from a district which is stalwart in its
Republicanism, which believes in the
principles of the Republican party, and
which has been steadfast in its support
of Republican candidates.
COMBINE WITH NO DEMOCRATS.
"Neither Democrats nor assistant
Democrats can command consideration
from the Republican voters of the
Sixth legislative district of Philadel
phia, who have honored me with an
election to the state house of repre
sentatives. No Republican elected
from this district dare fuse, unite or
combine with the Democracy for any
purpose and hope for re-election to the
legislature or support for any office
In the future. The Republicans ol
this district believe in majority rule.
By that principle Major McKinley was
elected president of the United States,
and through the observance of thai
principle he will succeed himself in
that office.
"There can be no questioning the
fact that a large majority of the Re
publicans elected to the next legisla
ure were chosen by the people with
the knowledge that they favored and
would vote for the re-election of Col.
M. S. Quay to the United States sen
ate. The issue was plainly and square
ly put at the Republican primaries and
at the polls at the general election.
"Although 1 am convinced that a
majority of the Republicans of the dis
trict which I represent are In favor
of the election of Col. Quay to the
United States senate, I would graceful
ly support any other Republican who
would receive the votes of a majority
of the Republican members of the next
legislature. The Republican voters of
the district in which I live would not
countenance my supporting any Guf
fey Democrat or insurgent Republican
who might be nominated in opposition
to the choice of a majority of the Re
publican members of the legislature."
