Harrisburg, March 11.—The guberna torial campaign is getting more inter esting every day. Republicans of Pennsylvania are being treated to the experience of a candidate for governor appealing directly to the people before receiving the nomination of his party. Attorney General Elkin, whose candi dacy lias met with popular faror in a number of counties, announced last week that he wished to have the peo ple of the commonwealth see and hear him and to pass judgment directly upon his candidacy. He remarked that what honors that have come to him in his home county of Indiana •have. resulted from his getting in touch with his neighbors and having them know and believe in him. When it was found that former Lieu tenant Governor Watres had registered as a candidate for governor in Blair county too late to allow his name to goon the ballots Mr. Elkin, who had been registered for some days, request ed that the rules be waived and that Mr. Watres' name be printed on the ballot with his. so that the people might choose between them. Mr. El kin has since accepted an invitation from the Republicans of the county to visit them before the primaries, and he will meet the Republicans of Altoona, Tyrone, Hollidaysburg aud other parts of the county and discuss the issues with them. ELKIN'S BIG SHOWING. Mr. Elkin has reason to be pleased with the result of the voting for dele gates to the state convention. One of his admirers today arranged a list of the counties which have elected dele gates to the gubernatorial convention and this is how he tabulated them: Counties for Elkin for governor- Berks, Bradford, Chester, Carbon, Jef ferson, Snyder. Susquehanna, Indiana and Union —Total, NINE. Counties for all other candidates for governor—NONE. In other words, every county which has elected delegates up to date has elected delegates who will vote for El kin. Widespread interest is taken in the canvass in Blair county, as this is the first county in which Mr Watres, who is the only avowed competitor of Mr. Elkin, has consented to allow his name togo before the people. Direct appeals have been made to the Republicans of the county in behalf of each of the candidates and keen inter est is manifested in the balloting, which takes place on Saturday next. On the same day the Republicans of Lancaster will elect delegates to the state convention and nominate candi dates for the legislature. In this county a complete ticket has been plac ed in the field against the candidates of ihe regular organization leaders, who are under the marshallship of Sec retary of the Commonwealth Griest, and a clean cut contest is under way. IN THE NORTHEAST. Mr. Watres has had some unexpected reverses during the last week. His admirers had hoped to capture the delegates from Susquehanna aud were counting upon their being instructed for him, but the primaries resulted in a victory for the supporters of Mr. El kin by a good majority. Mr. Watres based his claims upon the fact that Susquehanna is a neighboring county ' to his own. He is also having trouble in the adjacent county of Luzerne, where Congressman Palmer, although a friend of Watres. desires to hav£ the delegates to the state convention unin structed. as many of Palmer's follow ers want to be with the winner at the state convention and they do not re gard Watres as having any chance. A frank statement from Congress man Connell, whose friends control « the party organization in in which Mr. Watres resides, was a disappointment to the Watres men. Mr. Connell stated that unless Mr. Watres agreed not to attempt to swing the Lackawanna del egates to any other candidate, and also agreed to support the successful nomi nee for governor and all the candidates for county offices, he would have to tight for the delegates from his home county. Mr. Elkin will leave Messrs. Connell and Watres to fight out this issue. Mr. Connell says he is for Mr. Elkin for governor, and that he will be nominated. The most notable stalwart victory of ;he canvass was that won in Bradford county on Saturday last. This county hits heretofore been an insurgent stronghold. The insurgents made a iierce campaign in favor of W. J. Young, the Insurgent leader for con gress, with the Idea of capturing the ilelegates to the state convention. The f?gulars, under the leadership of Mail Lilley, their candidate for congress, won by over 1,200 majority. The regu lars nill elect all the delegates to the ■,tate convention, and they will be for John P. Elkin for governor. The return of Israel W. Durham from Florida, and his announcement that he had no doubt of the nomination and election of Mr. Elkin for governor, disposed of the many rumors that Senator Quay was opposed to the can- 4idaey of Mr. Elkln. Mr. Durham says Senator Quay will adhere to his pur pose of not interfering in the contest for the governorship, and that this is all the friends of Mr. Elkin desire, They are entirely satisfied of their ability to elect a large majority of the delegates to the convention. Mr. Elkln on hie recent visit to Pittsburg announced that he. would have at least 225 delegates to the state convention without counting a single delegate from Allegheny. This showed the confidence he has in the canvass being made by his friends throughout the state. PEACE IN_THE PARTY Retirement of Senator Flinn Fore shadows Harmony in State. PENROSE HAS A CLEAR FIELD Republicans In Different Counties Throughout the Commonwealth Are Unanimously In Favor of His Return to the United States Senate. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, March XI. This has been an eventful week instate politics and It has been a very pleasureable one for the leaders of the Republican organization. Evidences of party harmony have come from different sections of the commftnwealth and there is reason to believe that the coming state conven tion will be a great peace gathering showing every element of the Repub lican party working in accord. During the last six months the storm center in the party has been in Alle gheny county. The one disturbing fea ture has been the contention over the control of the party organization In Pittsburg. The Flinn men and the antl-Flinn men were fighting, engaged in a bitter struggle for supremacy and it was feared by many that the fac tional controversy existing in the city would extend into the state. There was no reason why this should not be simply a local contest, as it actually was, but with personal ends to serve, certain politicians were busy predicting that the fight would have a far reach ing effect upon state politics. But that matter has been virtually disposed of and it is certain that with in a few weeks peace will once more reign in Allegheny. FI..INN'S RETIREMENT. Senator William Flinn created some thing of a sensation a few days ago when he formally resigned his seat in the state senate and also announced his retirement from the Republican city and county committees and pro claimed his Intention to devote his entire time to his private business in terests. This, of course, removed oc casion for quite a number of Republi cans to oppose the organization of which Flinn was practically the lead er Since then negotiations have been opened looking toward a cementing of all the interests in Allegheny into one aggressive party organization for the advancement of Republicanism in the county and the state. While stories of "deals" having been entered into between the Olivers and the Bigelows and Recorder J. 0. Brown and others of the old organization lead ers are denied, it is known that there has been an understanding arrived at which will shortly bring the warring elements together upon a satisfactory basis. HARMONY IN LEBANON. Quickly following the news regard ing Allegheny county came the intelli gence that the Republicans in Lebanon county have reached a conclusion which will remove all possibility of a fight in the county this year. Through his efforts in securing the great national encampment at Mount Gretna, at which 50,000 troops, consti tuting the National Guardsmen of about a dozen states will an nually te encamped in Lebanon coun ty, under the auspices of the federal government, Senator Penrose has earn ed the lasting gratitude of the citizens of this section of the state. The sena tor has also activoly interested himself in the project to secure a federal build ing for Lebanon to cost not less than SIOO,OOO. There is reason to believe that Senator Penrose will get the sup port of both members of the assembly from Lebanon county. The harmony plan for Lebanon includes the election of four delegates to the state conven tion at a special primary to be held on March 22. These delegates will co operate with the stalwart leaders In the state organization. The delegates have already been agreed upou. NO FIGHT IN DELAWARE. In Delaware county, where the. pri mary election takes place this week all opposition to the candidates for assembly has been withdrawn. There was a fight on former Senator Thomas V. Cooper, but this has been stopped. All theee prospective members will vote for Senator Penrose's re-election. The county has a large Republican ma jority so that they are all certain to be elected. In Chester county the nominees for the legislature have been decided upon. Not one of them will have opposi tion and they will all be elected with out the shadow of a doubt. The returns from the primaries n Bradford county, which was a former Insurgent stronghold, indicate the elec tion of a full stalwart delegation to the legislature, who will vote for Senator Penrose to return to Washington. With the programs for harmony re cently adopted in Washington, West moreland and other counties, and with ether arrangements in the same direc tion under way, it would appear that Senator Penrose will have a walk-over for re-election.
