(Special Correspondence.»
Philadelphia, May 20. These are
busy tiroes with the active Republican
workers throughout the state.
Primary elections are being: held for
the selection of delegates to the Re
publican state convention and a most
aggressive canvass for the nominations
to be made at Harrisburg on June 11th
next is attracting widespread atten
tion.
The three leading candidates fort ie
governorship. Attorney General John
P. Elltln, former Lieutenant Governoi
L. A. Watres and Judge Samuel W.
Pennypacker, each has a host ot
friends at work and most strenuous
campaigning is being resorted to in the
struggle for delegates.
Up to date it is "any man's race,"
but developments within the next ten
days may alter the conditions and g'.vt)
an opportunity to make a fairly re
liable prediction as to the probable
winner.
ELKIN PUSHING AHEAD.
Mr. Elkin s friends have reason to be
pleased with the headway he has n.a tc
during the last week. In a contest be
fore the people with the name of each
candidate, Elkin and Watres, primed
on the ballot, he defeated Mr. Watres
in the Northumberland county pri
maries by an overwhelming majority
The Elkin men were on the aggvessi vo
from the outset and planned their cam
paign carefully and thoroughly. Mr.
Elkin visited the county and made \i.
addreaa to the voters. When it became
manifest that the Elkin men were go
ing to win Mr. Watres concluded not
to make a speech in that county, al
though he may accept invitations to
go elsewhere before all 'he delegate
elections shall be held.
There was a hotly contested B:iu£S'. e
in Schuylkill county in which Mr. El
kin's friends claim to have won five out
of the eight delegates. Their oppo
nents will not concede more than tour
to Elkin. In Dauphin county the El
kinites will get six of the seven dele
gates. They also got three in Arm
strong and one in Forest.
The return judges in Mercer eotuity
held a meeting during the week and
adopted resolutions instructing tho
three delegates to the state convention
from that county to vote for Mr. Elkin.
The county convention had previously
simply indorsed Mr. ftlkin's cant'' 'acy,
without "instructing" the delegate®.
WORKING TOR PENNYPACKFR.
Members of the bar and other ad
mirers of Judge Pennypacker hwe
taken hold of his campaign in Phila
delphia and are flooding the state with
literature sounding his praises and urg
ing his nomination for governor. A
public meeting of leading citizens uf
the Quaker City is booked for this
week and strong resolutions commend
ing his candidacy have been prepared
and will no doubt be adopted. Judge
Pennypacker is generally respected bv
his fellow citizens of Philadelphia, re
gardless of their political afllliatif ns.
He is looked upon as a most ex-'el'eut
Judge and a brainy man. He has cer
tainly reason to feel proud of the in
dorsements he has received from rep
resentative and influential citizens of
his home county. A committee, which
has charge of the campaign in his be
half, will canvass every county in the
state in his interest before the s«ata
convention shall be held.
Mr. Watres bagged another delegate
lagt week, when the county commi*'e»
of Monroe county met and elected one
of his supporters as state delegate.
Friends of Elkin in Monroe attemoted
to have a resolution adopted instruct
ing this delegate to vote for the Indi
ana county candidate, but the resolu
tion was defeated. In Crawford coun
ty the supporters of Dr. Flood, who
aspires to the lieutenant governorship,
won the delegates to the state conven
tion without opposition. The ooi nty
committee had previously met and
adopted resolutions giving Dr. Flood
the privilege of naming his own cant'l
datea for state delegates. Dr. Flood
will make a canvass among the dele
gates from the western counties with
a view to having their united support
in his candidacy for second place on
the ticket. He will be confronted by
the admirers of former Senator Will
iam M. Brown, of Lawrence, who is
also after the backing of the western
delegates for the lieutenant governor
ship.
While these two aspirants for Lieu
tenant Governor Gobin's shoes are
working the west, a new candidate h.is
been trotted out in the east. Mayor
I-iewis, of Allentown. with the I.el'Kh
delegation at his back, now wants to
be lieutenant governor. His home coun
ty newspapers have begun to boom
him and some of his admirers have
made a pilgrimage to Harrisb'-.rg to
confer with party leaders there in bis
Interest.
There will be strong delegations of
citizens from different parts of LehUh
county, as well as Flood shouters from
Crawford, and Brown boomers from
Lawrence, to work up Interest !n the
lieutenant governorship light In the
convention throngs at Harrisburg.
Major Brown, of Erie, who nsplres
to the office of secretary of internal af
fairs. starts out with his home county
delegation solidly for him and he has
a number of other delegations comir.lt
ted to him. General Schall was Indors
ed for this honor by the Montgomery
delegation, which also went on record
in favor of Judge Pennypaeker for
governor. It is apparently too soon to
venture a prediction as to the likely
Winner for thla oSu

I
l The Herald Representative is Wanted
to Appear in Eagles Merc Where
Pvnishmenl Awaits Him.
* jtyiecittl to the Nun.- Item.
What a blessed thing it is that we are
incorporated a-a Borough! dust to think
that it' we were not thus protected we
would be living in Shrewsbury Township
which the Herald reporter says is inhab
ited in its primeval forests with deer,
black bears, catamounts, loxes and all
sorts ot game. We have been hearing
strange noises of nights lately, and won
dered what could oe the cause. Now
we know thai it is the growling of the
bears, the how ling of the catamounts and
all the rest of them when they get to the
Borough line and dare not come any far
ther. All the citizens are grattul lor the
warning, and Mr. Kehrer w ill order a
car load of Winchesters, Krag-dornseus,
Maxims and other fm arms, and another
, car load ol ammunition and lixin's gen
erally, more particularly the fixen's.
A special meeting ot the Borough
Council will be held and an ordinance
passed to have the Light Company e\
tend its wires all around on the Borough
line and a lamp w ill be fixed on each pole
as these wild creatures are afraid of' light
and will retreat from it at once. Your
correspondent will not go out alter dark
without a young man and a gun— especial
ly tlie gun, although it is a areat satis
faction to have a voting man always.
The Herald man says the water from
Hunters Lake is carried down a pipe four
miles to the electric plant with a liill ot
940 leet to the mile: we submitted this
problem to the professor of Mathematics
at our L'niversily, and he says there must
he something wrong somewhere ns that
would make Hunters Lake about .">OOO
feet al»o\e tide and lie has not heard tha
the tide has got into a hole or anything
of that sort. He wonders if the trouble
in Martinique can have had anything to
do with disturbing the bottom of the
ocean.
After we left the Professor we learned
w here the trouble is. It seems that the
correspondent got the figures misplaced
and intended to any that "the aged and
patriarchal Treasurer of the Light Co.,
Mr. Benjamin <!. Welch is 040 years
old." and in this the re|iorler is probably
correct, as he has been old ever since we
knew him. So it is all right now.
AVe have heard that one of the cata
mounts over in Shrewsbury has started
lor the Herald office to find that corres
pondent for giving them away and start
ing out the hunters after them. We are
in sad distress as to what may happen as
we think the writer is probably a young
man—a nice young man. with his hair
parted in the middle and such a bewitch
ing mustache, and we are so very short
of such comforts in our village. Won't
the office please send him to our place
where he can be cared lor.
The Item oughtto issue about a mill
ion copies of this communication so that
all the intending summer visitors may
get one and feel assured that thev will be
entirely safe here it they do not go out
side the Borough alter dark without the
Herald young man or some other one
equally desirable.
If a million copies is to much for the
Item, then at least three or lour should
lie Rent to each hotel that the* may have
them distributed with their booklets.
It is really surprising how unreason
able some people are —the railroad com
pany is running a passenger train every
day with a real passenger car. Some one
was mean enough to say that it is disre
putable looking both inside and out, and
that the company uses it for passengers,
baggage, express and everything else in
cluding emigrants, somew hat odoriferous,
and all such things as that, but it is to be
hoped that the company will not mind
such an unreasonable set of people.
Why a" party of early visitors the other
day actually hired I feorge Montgomery to
take them down the mountain in his stage 1
rather than ride in a real passeng r car, |
the idea!
