Republicans Will Enter Upon the State Canvass With a Determination To Crush Out Possible Opposition In Next Year's Gubernatorial Campaign lSpecinl Correspondence.) Harrisburg. B«pt. 3.—No doubt the sensation instate politics of the last week was the action of recorder of Pittsburg in removing from office a number of well-known supporters of Senator William Flinn, and supplant ing them with m«n identified with the stalwart Republican forces of the Al legheny county politics. These changes were not unexpected and there was reason to believe that they were to have been made some time ago. No matter what construc tion may be placed upon the action of the recorder. It is a fact that there will be no serious severing of the per sonal and political relations which have existed between the stalwart Re publican leaders of western Pennsyl vania. THE SAME OLD GAME. The insurgent newspapers have been endeavoring to make capital out of this move on the part of the new recorder, but they have thus far failed to make any impression upon the par ty men who believe ir. the principle of majority rule, and who hold that any man identified with a party organiza tion should promptly an«l gracefully submit to the will of the majority The must labored efforts have been made during the last few days to have it appear that there is a serious breach between Governor Stone and Senator Quay over t-he action of the Pittsburg recorder, but there lias not been the slightest foundation fer any such statements. STALWARTS WILL BE STRONGER The stalwart Republican organiza tion in Allegheny county will he strengthened, and the predictions that Allegheny county will give the largest Republican majority tn the state tick et that has been gotten from that county in recent years in an off year campaign will unquestionably be fill filled. The opening of the Republican state campaign, which will occur within a few days, will be marked by a de gree of enthusiasm among the rank and file of the party organisation such as lias not been witnessed in recent years. There is a disposition to prepare for the campaign which is to take place next year over the election of a governor, and to silence, for all time, the guns of the insurgent batteries which are being directed against the regular Republican organization. The insurgents are not even a little bit hopeful in the present canvass, and if the stalwarts only put their should ers to the wheel and roll up an Im mense majority this fall, they will practically dispose of the opposition for next year's campaign. The Insur gents, now that Flinn has been de prived of the source of all his political power, the control of the patronage in Pittsburg, cannot bank upon any western reserve, such as they have had in the past. Allegehny county, with the follow ing which David Martin had in Phila delphia, contributed over 80 per cent, of tke insurgent following in the last two sessions of the legislature. With Flinn practically out of business In Al legheny, and Martin no longer a power in Philadelphia, the insurgent move ment has little else to fall back upon besides the Wanamaker campaign funds and the McOlure personal Inter est outfit in the Quaker City. This will mean an infinitesimal ele ment when confronted by the trained forces of the regular Republican or ganization in every county in the com monwealth. THE ORGANIZATION HEALTHY. The Republican organization in the state was never in a better nor more encouraging condition than it is to day, and there is every reason to be lieve that it will continue to lead it» candidates to victory for some time to come. At the recent Republican state con vention a plank was inserted in the platform of tne party which dwelt upon the condition of the state finances, and which gave due credit to Governor Stone for the industry and the lnt«lllgenc« with which he baa mastered the financial problems of tlib commonwealth. Former Governor Hastings took ex ception to the statement made in the Republican state platform, and in re ply to his comments on this subject Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, whn is an authority on this subject, has made a presentation of the facts and figures which bear out every proposi tlon made in the Republican state platform.
