Philadelphia, Jan. 29.—James 21. Guffey, who has undertaken the task of leading the Democracy of Pennsyl vania, 13 "to be confronted with power ful and vigorous opposition to a con tinuance of his leadership. He is accused of subordinating vhe interest of the Democracy to the per sonal and political schemes of the Klinn insurgent Kepublicans. It is charged tliut there is no genuine Democracy in the present leadership of the party in Pennsylvania and that Guffey ,s ef forts have been solely directed to ad vance the interests of men with whom he has personal, political and business alliances. Throughout the United States sena torial fight Guffey played into the hands of the Republican insurgents, and It is understood that he proposes to continue this policy in advising Democratic members of the legislature as to the course they should pursue on matters of legislation. FLINN CONTROLS DEMOCRATS. Flinhas practically had control of tht Democratic organization and been the real leader, for it has been under liis directions that the Democratic mem bers of the legislature have acted up to date. Since Guffey has been in control of the party management the Democratic organization has gradually become a one man affair. The old time leaders, men of influence in their respective counties, have been ignored, and a few worshipers at the shrine of Guffey, men with little ability and no standing to speak of instate politics, have been brought to the front as party leaders. Outside of Guffey and three or four un derlings, the names of few Democrats are heard of in connection with the Democratic organization of the state. A very significant move has been made in this city within the last few ilavs in the direction of reviving the Democracy of Pennsylvania and put ting it upon some kind of a solid basis in preparation for the next presidential election. Men who have not figured in Democratic politics since Guffey was elected to the Democratic national committee from Pennsylvania propose to take a hand once more and do what they can to give the party organization some strength and character. Guffey's personal admiration confer ences of a few of his retainers are not in accordance with the old fashioned Democratic meetings when men of the stamp of Curtin, Randall, Buckalew. Wallace, Scott, Hensel, Black and Har rity figured in the councils of the party. Now the Guffey sessions are attended by a few small fry members of the legislature, men of very ordinary tal ents and limited capacity for leader ship of any kind. What Guffey says toes, and what Fllnn says Guffey saye, and that is what the Democracy of Pennsylvania has come to under the Guffey regime. OLD TIME DEMOCRATS TO THE! FRONT. Now the first signs of an awakening :>f the Democratic hosts are given Ib a move made last week in thla city, when a hundred men, formerly active In Democratic politics, men o( wealth, inflm nee and standing In the commu nity. signed a call for a Democrat fathering at a big dinner to be given here on Washington's birthday. For mer Justice of the Supreme Court Sam uel C.tiHtlne Thompson, former Collec tor of the Port John R. Read, former Democratic National Chairman Will lam F. Harrlty, John Cadwalader and others of like prominence signed the rail These gentlemen propose to do what they can to revive interest In the Democratic party, and It can be taken for granted that with the return of old time leaders, vim and enthusiasm, the Guffey style of personal politics will not last long to dominate the affairs of the party. It is proposed to Invite Hon David B. Mill to speak at this dinner, and there will be Democrats of prominence there from other states. Senator Gorman will also be asked to speak HILL FOR PRESIDENT. It Isn't Improbable that the outcome <>f this dinner will be a movement In favor of Senator Hill for the liemo i»r..tic nomination for president in IMlil. Guffey played Into the hands of the llniiuttes ai the Kansas City conven tion when be declined to follow the lead of Hill jmfl uiake a light on the floor of the convention against the id to I free silver pluuk, which Ilryan In sisted upon putting in the platform. Mill, with the aid of the Pennsylvania deb gallon, could have beaten liryau on this issue, but wheu Onffey got th« Pennsylvania delegation to refuse to Join a movement in suppurt of the mi nority report In the platform that set th'l the fight In favor ot the liryan Idea. lllll's nomination would mean the coming to t>M< front of the conserva tlvii element of tha Itoiuocruitc party in Pennsylvania and the retirement of many of the men who have be«m kept in iHisltlon by Ouffey's aid The latest eihlhltlau of the Fllnn control of Guffey'a political movements was given in an lniervl«w with Guf fey In which he went or rwurd as awainst the proposed reform charter for Pittsburg This charter legislation is now before the legislature at Harrts burg. and Its paaaage will iuc«b the I«ur«ww Ml rut** as Ut« MtUUuai ttfvw of I'ittJilaurf?.

Guffev comes to the front to help Flinn in his fight for a continuance of the ring power, which has be a h source of great profit to him. Democrats throughout the state be lieve that Guffey should place their party In line with reform, that it should not be made an object of scorn and contempt, and that the Democratic members of the legislature should promptly place themselves on record as in hearty accord with the proposi tion to give the citizens of Pittsburg a form of government where the tax payers will be represented in office by men elected by themselves and not chosen by a lot of councilmen under the control of the Klinn machine. Gttffey's career as a Democratic state leader will be a very short one if he continues in his present course. Sheriff Sale.
