Harrisburg. Aug. 13.—General Frank
Header, chairman of the Republican
stats committee was here last week
completing arrangements for the Re
publican state convention. The Opera
House was engaged some weeks ago
Hnd the friends of the candidates and
th« leaders of the several county dele
gations are aecuring rooms in advanec
in anticipation of one of the largest
convention crowds that has assembled
hure for soma years.
The stalwart Republicans through
out the state are naturally anxious to
got together to rejoice over the great
victory achieved at the recent session
ol' the legislature in the organization
of both branches of the general as
sembly and the election of Colonel M.
S. Quay to the United States senate.
After the bitter struggle of the last
two years over the United States sena-
Unship and the glorious victory that
was the result, the regular Republi
cans will gather at the state capital
this month to felicitate with each oth
er and to map out plans for future vic
tories for their party standard hearers.
HIG POLITICS AHEAD.
A gubernatorial campaign will short
ly be inaugurated and the rank and
tile of the party will be eager to line
up for the choice of the stalwart ele
ment and be prepared to meet every
move of the insurgent contingent and
their Democratic allies, to supplant
the regular Republicans in the control
of the affairs of state.
The Republican leaders are quite
willing to rest their case upon the
record of the administration of Gov
ernor Stone, and they feel that they
have nothing to explain or excuse, nor
have they any reason to he concerned
about the outcome. The. coming can
vass of the state they are willing,
shall be made exclusively upon state
issues and they say they are eager to
meet the people and the tax payers,
especially, upon every question that
may be raised during the contest.
READY TO MEET FUSION.
Whether their shall be fusion or no
fusion, between the Democrats and the
insurgents in the state campaign, does
not in the least concern the regular
Republicans. In fact, they would pre
fer that the so called fusion program
be carried out. and that the voters of
the state shall be given an opportunity
at the earliest possible moment to de
cide the issue as to whether the Re
publican party or the Democratic
pniiy, with its insurgent adjunct,
shall be held accountable for the ad
ministration of the affairs of the com
monwealth in the various departments
of the state government which will be
affected by the coming election.
Outside of the Wanamaker cam
paign in Philadelphia to elect Wana
maker's counsel to the office of dis
trict attorney, where the insurgents
and some of the Democrats have got
ten together to further personal ends,
there is practically no movement look
ing to the amalgamation of the in
surgent Republicans and the Demo
crats in the state.
Wanamakerism seems to be on the
wane among the voters of this com
monwealth. especially in the country
districts, where the personal politics
of the ambitious millionaire of the
Quaker City are more closely scruti
nized than they are in the busy muni
cipalities of the state.
A BIG CROW EXPECTED.
Judging from the number of roems
already engaged at the leading hotels
there is going to be a very large at
tendance at the Republican state con
vention next week. The country lead
ers will all be on hand and many of
their most active lieutenants and their
supporters will also be here to partici
pate in one of the most interesting
gatherings of stalwart Republicans tha/t
has been held in Pennsylvania for a
long time.
There will be harmony in the pro
ceedings of the convention, for the
number of delegates who will not be in
entire sympathy with the leaders of the
party in directing the affairs of the
convention will be infinitesimal.
Philadelphia and Allegheny, which
for years were more or less antagonis
tic instate politics, will be nractical
ly unanimous in support of the pro
gram that will be agreed upon Hy the
stalwart leaders.
HARMONY IS ASSURED.
They will be in hearty accord with
the platform that will be prepared after
the leaders of the various sections of
the state get together, and the ticket
which will be nominated will be the
unanimous choice of the delegates from
ali the counties.
For state treasurer, only one name
has thus far been mentioned as likely
to be presented to the convention. Rep
resentative Frank G. Harris, of Clear
field oounty, who made a splendid rec
ord at the laat session of the legislature
and who was especially prominent as a
chaaipion of the pure butter interest In
the passage of the aaU-oloomftrVftriHe
bill, has virtually a walkover for state
treasurer.
No one doubts that Ju-tice Potter, of
Allegheny, will be given a spontaneous
nomination to succeed himself on the
supreme bench. He is one of tfie best
known members of the bar and stal
v art Republicans of western Pennsyl
vania.
