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.
