McCLURE WORKING THE NET Efforts Being Made to Drag In Dis gruntled Politicians From Every County In the State to Further Sel fish Interests. (Bp*clil Correspondence.) t Harrisburg. Sept. 10.- While no one looks upon the movement as indicating a serious opposition to the Republican organization, the attempt to form a new party under the auspices of Wana makerism and MeClureism is attract ing some attention here. The so-called Union party is nothing more nor loss than a Wanamaker par ty, with Colonel Alexander K. Mr- Clure, the political acrobat, as the chief engineer, with the Wanamaker interest supplying the fuel in the form of large wads of greenbacks to put action into men who are actuated sole ly by selfish and sordid ends. The Union party seeks to put into the field an independent state ticket on which shall appear the name of Harmon Yerkes. the Democratic candi date for justice of the supreme court, and E. A. Coray, the erratic political curio of Luzerne county, who, although elected as a Republican to the legisla ture. was never in accord with his party, and sought comfort and support almost invariably from the Democrats. Coray has not the support nor the sym pathy of the substantial interests of the state; in fact, he is dreaded on ac count of bis many peculiarities. He is not looked upon as a desirable candidate for any ctate office, and the suggestion for his nomination by the Union party has done much to deter some who would otherwise he inclined to join the movement from having any thing to do with it. McCLURB S DRAG NET. McCluro figures in the efforts to dragnet the state to get enough (Hs gruntled politicians together at the Philadelphia convention to makea show ing for the Wanamaker interests. No one is to be benefited by this agitation but Wanamaker. who hopes, through cultivating an independent sentiment, to disrupt the Republican organization and to have himself elected to the United States senate. The greatest disappointment that has been experienced by the Wana makerit.es came from the Flinn leaders in Allegheny county. They had hoped to have Flinn and all of his friends take part in the agitation against the Republican state ticket, and Uiey sure ly counted upon Flinn to be at the front from the start. A MISSION THAT FAILED. Representative John Rendall, of Chester county, slipped into Pittsburg last week as an agent of the new Union party, and, finding Allegheny '•ounty Republicans unwilling to jain an attempt to overthrow the state or ganization, slipped out again without doing any good. He got practically no encouragement in Pittsburg, either from the Flinn machine or from men who are opposed to any machine In politics. While there Randall called on a close friend of Congressman John Dalzell, by whom he was pil«ted about the city. For this reason some folks believed that Mr. Dalzell was the only Republi can of prominence in Pittsburg who was lending aid to the new party, but even this is very much doubted. Oth ers say that he will not attempt to push it in Pittsburg, as the conditions there at present are not favorable to the movement. Rendall called on Senator Flinn and others of the old insurgent movement and tried to enlist their aid, but his advances were not favorably received. Flinn and his friends want to be popu lar this year, and they will not listen to any proposition that involves dis loyalty to the party. They have noth ing left but "the organization." and to have anything to do with the Union party would mean a surrender of this cherished name. They will not give up as long as they can show a shadow of claim to it, and tbey are trying their utmost to avoid any entanglement that would cloud their titles. FLINN MEN PRACTICAL. They want to be "the organization" next spring, when there are council men to elact. They hope they can control the nomination of Republican candidates and defend their right in court to name them and put them on the official ballot as Republicans. Thia, they hope, will give strength to their cause, and they will allow no man to cajole them into a desertion of the Republican party, particularly at an election when their loyalty or disloy alty is a matter of such small import ance to the party. Since Rendali's visit to Pittsburg J. O. Brown, chairman of the Pitts burg Republican city committee, has called upon Chairman Reeder of the Republican state committee and as sured him that the Republican organi zation in Pit'sburg will make an ag gressive campaign in the interest of the entire Republican ticket and give a rousing majority for each of the can didates. QUAY AND STONE IN ACCORD. Senator Quay and Governor Stone have talked over the Pittsburg situa tion and are in absolute accord, and the friends of the new city administra tion represented by Recorder Brown and his supporters are also working for the success of the full Republican ticket, and they all predict that the majority this fall ill Allegheny county will be something unprecedented. Senator Quay before leaving for Flor ida auaounced that he believed that Allegheny county will give over 20,00(1 Republican majority, and that it might reach 30,000. These conditions of harmony have seriously interfere/! with the plana of the Wanamalcer movement. The Union party will not cut much of a figure in this campaign The mainstay of the insurgent organiza tion in the past has been the Minn following, and Flinn is not allowing himself to be. used any longer to pull the Wanamaker chestnuts out of the fire.
