IT IS NOT NOW IN PUBLIC FAVOR Championed By Yellow Journalism, This Latest Agitation Against Re publicanism Has Been a Most Sig nal Failure. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia. Sept. 17.—The man agers ot' the Union party have decided that this is not a propitious time for them to attempt an organization against the patriotic citizens of Penn sylvania, who comprise the Republi can party, of this commonwealth. They have concluded to postpone the meeting of their so-called convention. The assassin's bullets, which Anally meant the death of the President, called oil their convention when it was first scheduled to meet, and now the fatal termination of the attack requires them to defer action again. lioth the state and city conventions of this mushroom political growth, known as the Union party, have been postponed. They were to have met on Thursday next and name candidates for state and city offices. The Wanamaker-McClure-GordoTi leadership of this alleged reform outfit determined that it would not be well for them to attempt to put an inde pendent ticket in the field at this time and they called off their allies. The date for their gathering has not yet been fixed. A. K. McClure, who seeks to have his brother-in-law reelected to the hoard of revision of taxes in Philadel phia, and a few of his associates on the committee of the Union party, on the "relations between city and state," decided to call off the stats convention of the Union party which was to nom inate Judge Yerkes, Democrat, for su preme court justice, and K. A. Coray, independent Republican, for state treasurer, until after the burial of the late President McKinley. Recent developments, the universal denunciation of "yellow journalism," upon which the so-called Union party fattened and grew for a while, have put this ephemereal organization out of the pale of popular sympathy, and made it a thing to be loathed and ab horred. "Republicanism, patriotism and Americanism" stand arrayed against "personal interest, Anarchy and yel low journalism" in Pennsylvania, aa they do throughout this broad nation. In this home of loyalty to the princi ples of the Republican party, no sym pathizers of the Emma Goldman doc trines, nor any allies of her supporters, can hone for popular favor or support. TIIE CLUB LEAGUE CONVENTION. President J. Hampton Moore, of the ftate League of Republican Clubs, has issued a proclamation postponing un til a date to be determined by the executive committee of the organiza tion the convention which was to have been held in Scranton on September 17 and 18, President Moore, i« his notice to the members of the league, says: "Our stricken President has passed away. He was the admired ruler of our nation and the accepted head of our great party. He was the idol of Re publicans and the ideal of Americans. He had risen from the soil of his na tive land to be known and beloved by all mankind to the boundaries of civili zation. It was left for the red hand of Anarchy alone to wrest from him his precious life and to plunge a happy nation into deepest gloom. "Sharing in the national pride that exalted him, we had prepared in the regular course to raise our voice as Pennsylvania Republicans In praise of his public works. The frenzied hand of the assassin has changed it all. "It is for the law and the American people to deal with this hideous crime and the causes actuating it; for us to drain our cup of sorrow with the mourning millions of American breth ren; to frame our minds to holier and nobler purposes in political and civic life and to guard, in future, against the shame and the peril of tolerance with out reason. "That which we had planned in support «112 the great principles of our President represented, must be stood aside with humility and reverence while we join respectfully in paying the last rites to the dead. Our tribute to the living must give away to the grief of the nation and to the homage - i ** I wnich is due the memory of a great I and powerful leader. "By virtue of the authority vested in me as president of the State League of Republican Clubs, therefore. I de clare a postponement of the 14th an ' nual convention fixed to be h?ld in the city of Scranton, September 17 and 18 next, until such time as the executive < fommlttee may determine, of which flmely notice will be given. "I furthermore recommend as a mark of respect to the memory of our dead President, that all clubs affiliated with the State League, drape their - meeting places for a period of thirty 8 days."
