(Special Correspondence.)
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

Now. when the p-vople % .f IMttnOu; k
are demanding this reform legislation.
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.
