Harrisburg, Sept. 24. —An absolute 112 .zie would properly characterize the so-called convention of the Union i..".rty which was held in Philadelphia this week for the purpose of placing in nomination an independent ticket for justice of the supreme court and state treasurer. The program to nominate Judge Yerkes, Democrat, of Bucks county, for the supreme bench, and E. A. Coray, Wanamaker insurgent, for state treasurer, was mapped out months ago when Wanamaker, Mc- Clure and Gordon concluded that they would start in upon their latest po litical enterprise, which has for its ob ject the disruption of the regular Re publican organization in the state, in order to make possible the political ambitions of Wanamaker and to serve the personal interests of Colonel A. K. McClure and former Judge James Gay Gordon. McClure and Gordon are re garded as simply hanging onto the Wanamaker outfit for what there is in it. THE MONEY STILL FLOWS. The hundreds of thousands of dol lars already spent to land Wanamaker in (he United States senate have be*:,i distributed through various channels without satisfactory results, but it has boon determined to make another ef fort to capture the big prize and the money is still flowing freely to the same end. McClure and Gordon are both prac tical men and they know what they are about. They are not losing anything through their activity in the Wana maker camp. While a great amount of money was spent in the work of organizing this Union party convention, there is every reason to believe that the money might as well have been thrown away. There were few men of prominence or influence in the gathering. Scanning the list by counties, no one familiar with the leading men in different sec tions of the state could pick out over half a dozen former Republicans of any standing in the entire member ship of the convention. It was packed with hirelings of ths insurgent machine in the various counties and it was made up largely from Philadelphia precinct heelers, who could be gotten to attend any con vention for any purpose, at so much per diem. The so-called Union party is a false pretense. It Is no party at all. It Is merely a collection of free booters, dis gruntled office seekers and men who have never been Republicans and who seek every opportunity to disrupt tbat organization. Included in the aggrega tion are many soldiers of fortune, who follow any cause or any leader who will keep them supplied with funds. WILL STAND BY ROOSEVELT. While political highbinders have been engaged helping the insurgent or ganization the regular Republicans have been wide awake and active and the prospects are that the majorities for the candidates on the Republican Giate ticket will be much larger than was at first expected. General Frank Reeder, chairman of the Republican state committee, is in constant communication with the Re publican county chairmen, and the re ports which he has received up to date Indicate that there will be a large Republican vote polled in every county. There appears to be a widespread feel ing among Republicans that it is their duty as patriotic American citizens, in view of the assassination of President McKinley, to have grand old Pennsyl vania come to the front next November with the banner Republican majority In the Union, to show President Roose velt that he has the absolute confi dence, the hearty good will and the : loyal support of his fellow countrymen and fellow Republicans at the outset of his administration. United States Senator Penrose, who i was seven days and a half traveling from the wilds of Idaho to reach Can- ! ton in time to attend the funeral of the ' lamented McKinley, has had a very satisfactory talk with President Roose- j velt and given his assurance of the sup- i port of both Senator Quay and himself ! in the policy he has outlined for his administration. Senator Penrose and President Roosevelt have been person ai friends for years. They were at Har vard together, and the friendship of their young manhood days ripened into an intimacy which has continued throughout their successful careers. YOUNG REPUBLICANS ACTIVE. Senator Penrose has gone to Scran ton, where he will make the principal eulogy at the McKinley Memorial serv ices gotten up under the direction of a citizens' committee. He will remain over to attend the convention of the State League of Republican Clubs, where the opening guns of the stato po litical campaign will be fired this week. The young Republicans, who consti tute the bulk of the membership of the State League of Republican Clubs, are thoroughly aroused, and they will make themselves felt In the coming campaign. They are united tn their hostility to the methods of the "yel low" newspapers, which are held re sponsible for the spread of the anar chistic doctrines of Emma Goldman and the others who inspired Czolgosz to slay the President. They will be heard from throughout the coming canvass in no uncertain tones, and the champions of Emma Goldman, like Wanamaker's Philadelphia North American, will be severely scored from one end of the commonwealth to the other.
