V.'r uld Like to Soe a Reduction In
Republican Majorities In State.
VAINLY LOOKING TO NEXT YEAR
Chairman Penrose fid General Bing
! m Ci*/3 Warning to Republicans
to 3e Active and Alert.
[Special Correspondence.]
Philadelphia, Oct. 20.—An unex
pected move on the part of the De
mocracy to put some life into their
State campaign during the last week
1;.:.; put the Republicans on guard and
stimulated the majority party work
ers to renewed efforts to insure a
groat Republican triumph at the com
ins election.
With election day but two weeks off
f;om to-day—it falls on November 3
ti K year —there is little time left for
the county committeemen to prepare
for the battle of the ballots.
While none but gratifying reports
have been received by Chairman Pen
rose and Secretary Andrews at Re
publican State Headquarters, the Re
publican field marshal proposes to la
bor incessantly until the polls are
closed to get out the largest possible
percentage of the enrolled Republican
vote.
A FINAL APPEAL.
\ Anal appeal has been made this
week by Chairman Penrose to the
six thousand and more county com
mitteemen throughout the State to
devote their best energies to the
cause during the few days of the cam
paign. He congratulates them upon
their conscientious work up to date
and reminds them that the contest is
lar more important than it appears to
be upon its face. The facts are, he
contends, that it is the opening skir
mish of the great battle to be fought
next year when a president, a vice
president* representatives in con
gress, and members of the general as
sembly are to be chosen, and an over
whelming victory will have great in
fluence upon the more importatnt
campaign next year.
There is no attempt to create the
impression that the Republican ticket
is in danger, but stress is laid upon
the fact that the greater the Repub
lican majority will be next month, the
greater will be the influence of the
election returns from Pennsylvania in
moulding sentiment throughout the
country and affecting political condi
tions generally.
Capitalists and wage-earners are
alike interested in the result, for it
may have far-reaching influence in de
termining future business conditions
throughout the nation.
General H. H. Bingham, the "Fa
ther of the House," who wa3 in Wash
ington last week, was among the call
er t:pon Chairman Penrose to-day.
: Bin,.'ham is recognized as one
C'i the leaders in congress, and he is
: eknowlcdpred to be held in high es
teem at tlie White House anu by all the
1-.ambers of the cabinet on account of
his years of experience and the excel
lence of his judgment.
INTEREST IN WASHINGTON.
"What about Pennsylvania? was a
c;ticry I heard on every hand," said
( v itral Bingham, in recounting his
< loriences orchis trip to Washington.
' i found a remarkable interest in our
c-nipaign. Not that anyone suspected
fi>r a moment that any of the Repub
lican candidates was in danger, but
there was an almost universal desire
to Know something about the temper
k£i. the people, to learn of the interest
%t ey are taking in the election, and
"li Uier Republicans have awakened
to ! fie important bearing the election
, returns next month will have upon
netit 'ial politics.
"The activity of the Democrats
throughout the country in what would
ordinarily bo regarded as elections of
minor importance, and the desperate
battie being fought by Tammany to
t" I eontroi of the patronage and elec
tion machinery of New York city, are
conditions which are not
r-1 • el by the national leaders of the;
republican party. Every Democra'ie
victory next month will give addi
tional encouragement to the Der.o
crats, who. hungry for office and
• «r« "Iw/Kiiijf"' ahead in the rain
'.ope that there will some mishap oc
cur lo handicap the Republican organ
ization for the coming national cam- t
paign.
"Pennsylvania Republicans must be
nlcrt and active and see to it that '
there shall be no mishap lake place at
the election two weeks hence in the
old Keystone State. There must be j
no falling off of the Republican vote,
anl no reduction of the Republican
majority to which the Democracy can ;
point as indicating popular sentiment
In antagonism to the party of protec
tion and prosperity. There should, on
the other hand, he an increase in the
Republican vote and an increase in
the Republican majority, so that on
the day after election every Repub
lican throughout the country can
point with pride to the returns from
the Keystone State and say our party
is Wronger than ever in the bulwark
of Republicanism. The people are
with us and there will be no deviation
from the policies which have made
this country great, powerful, and
prosperous."
Notwithstanding the Democratic
press would have it appear that the
treasury is "looted," the millions of
dollars in the treasury stand as a
stone wall defense on the side of the
Republican party in Pennsylvania.
