A PERSONAL FAKTY. The Latest More of Wanamaker ism in Pennsvlvania Politics. SELFISH COMBINATION FORMED An Alliance of Insurgent Republicans and Insurgent Democrats to Further j One Man's Ambition —Other Politl- ' cal News. Philadelphia. July 30. —Within the I '.st week there has been a sensational move made by the politicians identified j with the Wanamaker bureau, which j lias been maintained in this state for several years with the purpose of ad- ; vancing the political ambitions of this wealthy and aspiring Philadelphian. The independent movement started in this city to bring about the election ( of Wanamaker's private counsel to the , office of district attorney after he had , been defeated for renomination in the Republican city convention, is regard ed as the initial move to form an inde- I pendent political organization in the state to boom Wanamaker and his po- i litical interests. In order, primarily, to get a complete column 011 the official ballot to help ! their independent fight in this city the ■ Wanamaker lieutenants adopted the j name of the "Union Party," and pre- ; erupted a column for a ticket for state and city nominations. A committee has been appointed, of which Colonel A. K. McClure will be the directing head, to organize the so- ' called "Union Party" in the state, and ' they expect to get the Wanamaker in surgents and the insurgent Democrats i to combine in an organization against the regular Republican party. They hope to get the Democratic i state convention to help them along, ! but if this shall he impossible they will organize on their own hook to further | their scheme in every way. An analysis of the committee which i has charge of the organization of the j Union party in the state will be inter esting. A STUDY IN QUEER POLITICS. The make-up of this committee is a study in personal politics, wih every ! man having a grievance and not one j of them of fixed standing in any politi cal party. Chairman McClure has belonged to j pretty nearly every party, excepting the Prohibitionist, since he became of j age. His present affiliations are not well defined. There has been difficulty j in placing him politically since his j brother-in-law, Simon Gratz, was not 1 placed in nomination to succeed him- ' sell' as one of the Republican members ] of the board of revision of taxes. As i an intimate friend of District Attorney Rothermel for years, Colonel McClure has had another grievance since the Republican convention, composed of over 1,000 regularly elected Republi can delegates by a unanimous vote, I decided that Mr. Rothermel had all he was entitled to with one term in the j district attorney's office. They nomi- i nated a sturdy young Republican, John Weaver, as his successor. Senator J. Bayard Henry has been ! a disappointed man ever since the elec- j tion of Colonel M. S. Quay to the Uni- ; ted States senate. Henry is disgruntled i because of his defeat in his home ward I and his home election precinct, in at- | tempting to elect Republican delegates ' to city and state conventions, and the ! fact that he will be unable to control j a single ward in his entire senatorial ! district for election to the state senate, j He wants political revolution, for he ! needs it pretty badly, so he has lined j himself up with the Rothermel boom- 1 ers. WANAMAKER FINANCIAL AGENT. ! F. A. Van Valkenburg has been look ed upon as the direct representative of the Wanamaker political bureau. His i grievance probably is that there are ! not two insurgent campaigns going at the same time. Of Frank A. Hartranft, a Democrat, ' little can be said beyond that he was once picked out to run on a local j Democratic ticket when there was no hope of his election. Since this im portant episode in his career, his po litical bearings have not attracted sufficient attntion to have him defi nitely placed by those who usually keep j in touch with men of influence in pub- i lie affairs. His grievance no doubt id ! that he has been allowed to remain unnoticed for so long. Former Representative Rendall, of Chester county, a pronounced Wana makerite, after serving a term in the j House of Representatives as an insur gent appealed to the voters of Chester ! county to re-elect him. His grievance is that when his candidacy was sub- [ mitted to the people he was over- j whelmingly beaten. He is now doing his utmost to disrupt the Republican party and advance the cause of Wana makerism in every way possible. Former Representative W. Rush Gil lan. of Franklin county, a Democrat, has figured as an up-state annex of the Judge Gordon Democracy and has time and again assailed the supporters of former Governor Pattison, in both state and local politics. He has figured us something of a firebrand in Demo cratic state politics and his grievance has always been that he has not been taken into the inner councils of the Democratic state organization and the Republicans have not heeded his ad vice in the direction of their party affairs. This passing comment upon the char acter of the men who propose to lead the fight aguinst Republicanism in Pennsylvania should be sufficient to enlighten the Republicans of the Key stone State as to the extent to which Wanamaker and his associates will go | to further the interests of this ambi tious millionaire.

THE D'JNDAS MANSION SKELETON Scranton Has a Heavy Rain Storm. Stationary Engineers Think They Were Treated Dadly In the Late Strike of the Firemen. Philadelphia, July 29. —The North American today said: The honor of a family and half of the great Dundas- Lippincott fortune are involved in a suit at law on account of which com missioners are now taking testimony at the United States consulates of I'arls and London.

The claimant declares that he was deserted by his mother and repudiated by his father, who deliberately con spired to defraud him of his birthright. His claims are denied by the fnrnlly.
