By The Sullivan Publishing Co. At the County Seat of Sullivan County. IiAPOHTE. PA. Entered at the Post Office at Laporte, as second-class mail matter. Harrlsburg, Dec. 3. —With the re convening of Congress, the Influences of the Republican organization of Pennsylvania In the councils of the nation, and the direction of the af fairs of the National Republican or ganization becomes once more con spicuous. Pennsylvania Is represented In the Fifty-seventh congress by 26 Repub licans In the house, a delegation larger than that of any other state with one exception, and numerically stronger than ihe combined Republi can delegations of all the New Eng land states. The Republicans In the house from Pennsylvania show a gain of six members over their representation in the last house, when the delegation stood 20 Republicans and 10 Demo crats. ORGANIZATION STOOD THE TEST. The superb Republican organization of this state has Just been put to a very severe test with dissensions brought about by the manipulations of a coterie of wealthy men who are am bitious to hold office, and to serve their personal ends and to advance their individual ambitions have made deals and combinations with Demo cratic politicians to the detriment of the Republican party and Its candi dates. Happily the voters of the state re fused to follow such leadership, and when the returns were received on election night it was found that after a bitterly-fought campaign the Repub lican candidates were triumphantly elected, and the nominees on the Re publican state ticket were given ma jorities over all the rival candidates for the second time in five years. After the last gubernatorial cam paign, when it was found that Colonel Stone did not have a majority of all the votes cast, the insurgent Republi cans and the Democrats declared that had they united upon one set of candi dates they would have elected the gov ernor and the entire fusion ticket. The result of the recent election, where the insurgents, or Union party men, and the Democrats had the same candidates, showed that when the loyal Republicans of Pennsylvania be come aroused they can defeat any com bination of insurgents and Democrats by large majorities. NEXT CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN With this fact in mind, the Republi can leaders look with confidence to the coming congressional campaign In Pennsylvania. They recognize the determination of the Democrats in Washington to ig nore the free silver and other Bryanite doctrines, and to return again to their agitation for a reduotion of the tariff. This policy was made manifest at the caucus of the Democratic mem bers of the house last week. Con gressman J. K. P. Hall, the Demo cratic millionaire of Elk county, who is believed to aspire for the Democratic nomination for governor of Pennsyl vania, succeeded in restraining the sll verites of the west and south and hav ing them agree to a postponement of the consideration of the Bryanite theories and doctrines and to confine their policy, for the present, at least, to a "raid on the tariff." The protec tive policy of the present leadership of the national Republican organization, which the industries of Pennsylvania demand shall not be deviated from, is imperiled by the talk of reciprocity, which to some means nothing more than a reduction of the tariff and the accomplishment of what the Demo crats would strive to bring about through their agitation for tariff ro form. MANUFACTURERS ARE ALARMED. The recent convention of manufact urers held at Washington to discuss the important issue of reciprocity de veloped the fact that there are few of those identified with the manufactur ing industries of this country who are not fearful that the talk of reciprocity may lead to a serious disturbance of business conditions, quite as serious as would the re-opening of the whole Is sue of revision of the tariff. Pennsylvania Republican congress men will be on guard during the pres ent session of congress to block any Democratic schemes which might affect the manufacturing interests of the Keystone state. While with the large Republican majority in the present congress tho •1 anger from this source is not aa great as it may be in the next congress, the party leaders propose to be on the alert. In order that Pennsylvania shall con tinue to wield a potential Influence at Washington It behooves every party man to do everything In his power to strengthen the Republican organiza tion throughout Pennsylvania, to dis courage the malcontents who have sel fish Interests to serve and to bury fac tional differences for the general wel fare, X« ALL AT SEA Democrats and Unionists do Not Know Y/hat to do Nexti DEMOCRACY IN BAD SHAPE Dissensions In Minority Party In Phil adelphia and Allegheny Give No En couragement to Republican Malcon tents to Continue Factional Warfare (Speclat Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Dec. 3.—Since the re cent defeat at the polls the Union party men and the Democrats have been unable to get together upon any scheme for fusion in future campaigns. The Democrats are so completely di vided Into factions of one kind or an other, that the Union party leaders do not know with whom to deal. The Pattison contingent are now at odds with the Gordon outflt and the Donnelly and Ryan combination, that maintains control of the regular or ganization, refuses to have anything to do with either the Pattison or the Gor don elements and seem determined to go It alone until the Democratic state convention shall be held next year. DEMOCRATS ARE DIVIDED. It Is possible that there will be at least two contesting delegations of Democrats from this city, and may be there will be three. Guffey is anxious for harmony, but he does not know where to begin. If he makes terms with Pattison he will offend the Gordonites and the old or ganization element. Pattison has made so many enemies through his re cent uncertain actions, trying to play both sides and losing at the game, that Guffey is afraid to have anything to do with him. The Gordon faction mean practically the Union party element of the Democ racy, and have nothing In common with the straight-out Democracy. Meanwhile, with the Democrats at sixes and sevens, the Insurgent Re publicans do not know where to turn. They find that the Republicans everywhere who participated in the late unsuccessful fusion movement are eager to return to the old party and are ready to take their places with the rank and file and show their loy alty by hard and steady work for the welfare of Republicanism. UNION PARTY'S WEAKNESS. In this city the Union party has made no sign of getting into shape for the spring campaign, outside of a few wards in which the old David Martin element retains some strength. There are a few offices which the Martin men still control, and the em ployes of these offices are endeavoring to keep up a Union party organization for their own purposes. The Republican leaders have been urged to put up one of their followers for the office of city solicitor, the only important office to be filled at tho February election. The Incumbent, City Solicitor John L. Kinsey, is pro posed for renomination. He Is a stal wart Republican, but some have argued that he should make way for one of tho young men who have been active recently on the stump. Nothing has as yet been determined upon re garding this office, but should the Re publicans renominate Mr. Kinsey, which now seems probable, the Union party men would be without a candi date about whom they could rally, anil they would have to trail along for the Republican nominee or support the Democrat. Kinsey is strong with the conservative element In the communi ty, and his renomination would thor oughly disarm the Unionist. NEWSPAPERS UACK INFLUENCE. There have been several conferences here recently of the state leaders of the Union party. They have come to realize that what they regarded as their strongest cards, the insurgent newspapers of this city, are without Influence with the voters. No political campaign was ever waged In the state in which there were more Philadel phia newspapers combined in an ag gressive and persistent campaign against the Republican organization and its nominees. These newspapers, day after day, kept up Incessant assaults upon the Republican party and its candidates.' but when the polls were opened their readers showed by their ballots how little confidence they had in the sin cerity of such newspapers. This fact has impressed itself upon the minds of the Democrats as well as the insurgents, and they are won dering whether they would not fare better hereafter by standing up for straight Democracy and letting the Un ionists support the Democratic candi dates if they will. GUFFEY IS STILL SILENT. Colonel Guffey has not yet been able to explain what became of the Demo cratic vote in Allegheny county, where he lives. He devoted much of his time during the campaign to looking after the Democratic organization in Phila delphia, but when election day rolled around thousands of Democrats In Al legheny county were not qualified by the payment of poll tax. It has de veloped that Guffey has practically no Democratic organization In his home county. When the Democratic state convention shall meet next year It is likely that Guffey will have some prac tical questions put to him by Demo crats from Philadelphia and other counties where he had interfered against the regular Democratic organi zation in the interest of the Union party.
