THE FUSION TRICK WILL FAIL republicans of Pennsylvania Will Stand By Their Candidates and Elect Their Ticket By Large Majorities. I.Special Correspondence.| Harrisburg, Aug. 22. Colonel James M. Guffey, the Demo . rutic boss of Pennsylvania, has played his flirt card in his game to win over K i ibiican voles to his Democratic i liine and to get the Democracy in I.for next year's contest for the gov c , -rship and the election of members of the legislature and congressmen. ('■ iffey realizes that his Democratic prrty is in very had shape. He knows ikr: the Democratic vote has been get t i smaller every year, and that his only hope of making any showing at the coming election is through a fu sion campaign. He placed the Repub lican nominee for supreme court jus i upon the Democratic Mate ticket 1 . a use he was fully aware of the fact thai, no Democratic candidate would stand a shadow of a show against Jus t'. e Stewart in a fight, for the supreme b'T.i-h. From the outset he recognized t:< fact that his Democratic nominee for Mate treasurer, Mr. Berry, was hoc-' 1 for a good licking at the polls : ;• veinlier next. Now he has sought to work the old game of fusion to ho( : .ink the Republicans into voting for Terry, but he has nothing to fuse with. ';"ii re will be the usual quota of so- j called independent Republicans here and there who will go along with Gut' | fey, just, as others of their class have 1 vet ii for Democratic candidates time j and time again, but they will experi- ! ence ihe usual result on election night ; v. hen the news will be flashed over the i tele;.i eph wires announcing a sweeping | Republican victory in Pennsylvania. Gutfey to the Front. Tn commenting upon the outcome ot ! the Democratic state convention held I Ii re last week, the Philadelphia In- j quirer very aptly said: "Colonel Guffey comes to the front | with his Democratic party and makes his bow to the public. He presents to ' the \ iters the Republican candidate I for the supr ;e bench, adopts some IV olutions and adjourns in the hope that the people of Pennsylvania will j elect his candidate for state treasurer, i one r Try, of Chester. "Hi, convention at Harrisburg was called for Ihe purpose of carrying out the little game of politics which the never victorious leader of Pennsylva nia Democracy i: engaged in. lie thinks there must still be a large independent j vote in the stat therefore he bids for I this vote, lie says, in effect, 'i am an ! Independent. In proof of my indepen dence, see what I have had my conven tion do. ] have had il nominate a Re- j publican for justice of the supreme I court. Now you can show your inde- | pendence by taking my nominee for ! state ;reasurer.'" Pretty Little Game. "It I a very pretty little game. Uy l fakir • this step the colonel confines j the campaign to a single office. He u-s there is more chance for Demo | sue. i.in November by con- j ..u with the name of John Stewart, j it' publican, than by presenting a full j Democratic ticket. It is really the bt : inning of the campaign of next year, I when a governor will be elected. The i colon. 1 rightly figures that if he could ; but i rry Pennsylvania in November ii; \t for his Democratic candidate for I si ate treasurer he could go into the i: .t ii xt year with all the enthusiasm ! of pa t victory and make a hopeful j conte t, not only for governor, but for j the legislature and for members of ; eo:imi ss in several close districts. "\\ do net think that there is very much danger that Colonel Griffey's part> will make much progress. Why ■ shei'i i there he? \re the several hun dred thousand honest and eonscien tious Repuiilicans of Pennsylvania go- j In;;' lo desert their party because of an invesi igation into some filtration con- ! tracts in Philadelphia? The state j trees; ryship has got just about as much to do, the Republican party itself l as go! just about as much to do with (hat investigation as the investi- j gation into the methods of the p.gri cultural department at Washington has to do with the Republican organi zation of the nation at large. There is absolutely no connection." Treasury In Fine Condition. Tli Hepnbliean party of Pennsyl vania is not under lire except to the e\i< -it that tin usual Democratic guns cam th ir harmless jiolitical projec tih . The treasury of the state is iu a sph udld ci i: iition. The state is out of delu. I Urn the ordinary revenues a e.rent < tpllol building has be n erect c I I'ive .ml mi' half mi' ions go every von- to tie- public schools. The ■ lm.i --t: of tli • commonw alth are onor mo!;.-t For the care of the inane large '■ ■ : of money have bo, n appropriiit- , e i by the la. I legislature. In many respects we re leading every other I , state in tne union, notably in the mat ter of public education. These vast sums have hern handled without the loss of a single penny to the people. The administration of the state treas ury is today above criticism. Public moneys are collected and hanked strictly according to law. There are • o opportunities whatever for the mis'• : of public funds. ' It is plainly the intention of Cole; 1 1 Guffey to hoodwink the people into fie belief that because of filtration in\> ;- ligations in Philadelphia the whole Re publican party is not to be trusirj. But he takes that ground he as sails t.'ae Republican voters themselves —several hundred thousand of them— ; for it is these voters who constitute i the Republican party. They are not corrupt. They find nothing wrong at Harrisburg and we fancy that Colonel Guffey and his candidate, Mr. Berry, will have something of a hard lime to make them agree that the great Repub lican party of Pennsylvania should be overthrown because of a municipal matter in Philadelphia, which Philadel phia Is quite capable of settling. STALWARTS Sllli Hill Republicans Lined Up Loyally For Their Party Nominees. DEMOCRATIC GAMES EXPOSED Guffey and His Outfit Have Not the Confidence of the Voters of the State. [Special Correspondence.] Harrisburg, Aug. 29. It is a noteworthy fact that In the campaign now under way In Pennsyl vania the Republican newspapers, j without exception, are loyally support ! lug the nomineees on the state ticket. There are a few socalled insurgeut sheets that are working along their well-worn lint sin support of the Dem ocratic candidates, but these journals are no longer regarded as being in j sympathy with the Republican party. They have been so long assailing Re ; publican nominees in the interest of \ the Democracy that they are now classed as out and out Democratic ad herents. On the other hand, the recognized 1 Republican newspapers are all heartily i for the Republican ticket. Neighbor of Plummer Speaks. The editor of the Altoona Morning Tribune, in commenting upon the Democracy's program, among other | tilings, says: "They hope to elect their candidate for state treasurer this year, and by means of the enthusiasm thus created ; to open the way for a vigorous cam i paign for the election of a Democratic j governor and a lot of Democratic con gressmen. Yet, in spite of their vague talk, there is nothing about the ad ministration of the state government which they could better. Every de partment is being vigorously and care fully administered in the public inter est by honest men. The state treasury is open always to the inspection of the j citizens of the state, and even the Pharisee whom the Democrats have ' nominated for state treasurer did not dare bring an accusation against the present incumbent. "There is not a human being, friend or foe who knows J. Lee Plummer who does not know that the money of I Hie state would be sacredly guarded j while in his custody. His entire life : has been spent in this county, and tlio i only charge his worst enemies can j bring against him Is that he is a stal ; wart Republican and that all his lit he has supported Republican meas ■ ures and voted for Republican candi dates. He believes in the Republican party and he has adhered to it wit a all the enthusiasm of a patriotic na ture from his boyhood up. It is pre posterous, therefore, to suppose that the Republican rank and ll!e will vote j for Mr. Plummer's Democratic op;:on ent because the situation is not what it ought to be In Philadelphia or b cause the Democrats, making a vir.ti ■ of political chicanery, have nominated the Republican candidate for justice of the supreme court for the sam office. "Judge Stewart need not flatter his 6onl that his pre-eminent ability as a jurist, his stainless character as mar. or his reputation for political ind pendence, moved Mr. Guffey to the action which he prompted his conven tion to take. Oh, no; it was simply th • desperate hope that this bit of down right demagoguery might brin? seni > independent Republicans Into thr> Democratic camp and thus swell tlio ( vote of nerry. In view of the g' neri! efficiency of our state Severn: icnf an of the Republican purpose to grar everything desired by a met rity •. the people, we do not think Mr. liu,' fey's scheme will work out Into n brilliant success."
