Harrishiirg, Aur. 21. Republicans
nnd Democrats alike seem to repudi
ate tin- arrangement entered Into at
a conference held last week in Phila
delphia between James M. Guffey,
democratic national committeeman;
John 8. Killing:, chairman of the Dem
ocrat li
tate committee, on one sine
and William Fllnn. the Insurgent lead
er of Pittsburg, and David Martin, the
combine and Insurgent leader of Phila
delphia, for fusion tickets on the legis
lative candidates to defeat regular nom
inees of the Republican party where
the Insurgent element fails to control
the nominations for state senators uud
Btute representatives,
PARTY TREACHERY DENOUNCED.
The more this compact is discussed
the greater seems to he the indignation
over the exhibition of party treachery.
While many Democrats think this
scheme will be of advantage to them
others say they Will not stand for it, as
U la purely a plan to further the per
annul intersts of James M. Ouffey, In
his candidacy for United States sena
tor and to satisfy the desires of Martin
and I'llnn.
Republicans resent the proposition
to defeat Republican candlates because
this arrangement cannot but imperil
the election of a Republican to the
United States senate.
It Is apparent that the factional Inter
ests and personal hatred of Fllnn and
Martin are so Intense that they prefer
the election of Uuffey, a Democrat, to
the United States senate, than a Re
publican not in sympathy with the
Insurgent movement.
The popular idea of the Inside fea
tures of this deal is that If the stal
wart element will not yield to the in
surgents at t) i next session of the
legislature Martin and Fllnn and their
followers will turn In and elect Uuffey
to the United States senate and then
continue their campaigning to disrupt
the regular Republican organization In
the hope of naming Senator Penrose's
successor.
The sentiment of the Republicans
generally as to this fusion business la
being recognized by men who have
contemplated Joining the insurgents
but who now propose to remain with
the regular Republican organisation
and settle their differences with part,
leaders In the only proper manner
through the primary elections.
As to the Democrats, there is a posi
tive determination among many of the
influential men In the organization to
stand out for straight Democratic nom
inations. They will compel the bolt
ers and boxers of the Republican party
to vote for the Democratic candidates
for the legislature, rather than to put
henchmen of Martin and Flinn, Into
the senate and the house, to do their
bidding In the legislation affecting the
corporations, with which they are iden-
tlfled.
NOT FOR MARTIN AND FLINN.
Former State Chairman John M.
Qarman, of the Democratic state com
mittee, was lu Philadelphia during the
conference between Ouffey and the in
surgents, and he served notice that he
would not be a party to any trades or
duals with Martin or Fllnn.
"1 believe that a great majority of
tho Democrats of the state," said for
mer Chairman Carman, emphatically,
"are opposed to fusion as at present
proposed by tho Republican machine
leaders of Philadelphia and Pittsburg,
Martin and Fllnn. The Democracy
can se nothing to be gained for the
good of the commonwealth by the use
of the Democratic organization to ad
vance the political ambitions or to
satisfy tho political enmities of David
Martin and William Fllnn. Neither of
those men has anything In common
with the alms and purposes of the
Democratic, party for the advancement
of the welfare of the commonwealth
and the protection of the Interest of
her citizens.
"The Democratic party has for years
fought the cause of real ballot reform
and we cannot Bee how this end Is to
be advanced by alliances with Martin
and Fllnn and their fellow insurgents,
who have been among tho most per
sistent enemies of ballot reform.
Neither are they In sympathy with any
of the other projects to which the
Democratic party stands committed
for the public good.
"The Democrats who oppose fusion
with Martin and Fllnn and their fol
lowers are Just as much averse to ad
vancing the interests of tho Republi
cans who recognize Quay as their
leader. Tho Democratic party Is com
mitted to reforms which have been
denied the people by the followers of
Quay. We can do no good by substi
tuting Martin and Flinn for Quay, and
between the two I cannot see where
there would be any Improvement in
conditions In putting Martin and Fllen
In (tower In the state,
SERVED NOTICE ON RILLING.
"The Democratic party Is always
Strongest when it stands by Us prin
ciples and Its candidates. While a tem
porary advantage might come In some
Instances U the Democracy from fu
sion, party demoralization Inevitably
follows.
"If the voters of Pennsylvania wish
troe reform and desire to supplant In
competent and ither undesirable offi
cials In the state government, they can
beat do this through the Democratic
party putting up good, clean Demo
crats and all opposed to present con
ditions voting the straight Democratic
ticket
"With assurance of the support of
those Republicans who really wish re
form the Democratic party will have em
Incentive to put the best men on their
ticket and undesirable Republican can
didates can thus be defeated and re-
; lorms so sar.iy naauou can on hutsvh
i out.
"I have Informed State Chairman
Rilling that the Democratic voters of
the section of the state from which I
com are opposed to fusion, and I be
lieve that we will make a better show
ing for the Democracy on these lines
than we have ever done before."
INSURGENTS' LATEST TACTICS.
The Insurgent news bureau and the
Insurgent newspapers of the state are
adopting the tactics resorted to dur
ing the session oT the last legislature
to keep the Democratic members In
line with the Quffey-Flinn-Martln pro
gram. They are accusing Democratic
leaders who do not turn In for fusion
with being corrupted, but they arc evi
dently not meeting with the same suc
cess in this intimidating game.
In Montgomery county there Is a
strong sentiment among the Democrat
ic voters In favor of putting up a
straight ticket, but the Martin-Fllnn
men want to put two Insurgents on
the Democratic ticket for the legisla
ture. This Is being resented by the
Democrats and County Chairman
Bbaner recognised the feeling among
the Democrats and declined to
take his orders from the Ouffey ma
chine, and he was at once made the
subject oi attack, At a meeting of the
Democratic committee of Montgomery
county last Saturday, held at Norris
town, a report was made regarding a
conference between a sub-committee of
the Democratic organization and a sub
committee of the insurgents relative
to the proposed fusion deals. All hut
two of the Democratic committeemen
reported against fusion, and the Insur
gents were woefully disappointed when
the county committee adjourned with
out declaring for their fusion program.
FARMER COPE AT WORK.
Dairy and Food Commissioner Cope
has been to Philadelphia to confer
with officials of the bureau of health
In reference to a thorough Investiga
tion as to adulterated milk and impure
foods purported to be freely sold in
that city. The commissioner, some
weeks ago. tendered the co-operation
of his department in the attempt to
bring all dealers that are using deleter
ious milk, preservatives, as well as
those selling impure food products of
all kinds, speedily to Justice. The as
sistance of Factory Inspector Hughes
was also obtained, and In consequence
some arrests were made last week.
The officers who have been making
the investigation have made n partial
report, and a number of storekeepers
nre listed as having violated the law.
There will be some arrests shortly of
keepers of filthy shops and of milk
dealers who have been using a prep
aration that has has been pronounced
injurious to health. Commissioner
Cope has tendered the use of the chem
ists of the department to the health
bureau for analysis of milk and other
food.
The local agents of the dairy and
food department have been Instructed
by their chief to keeT 'ose to' v
with the health office
time that they may be c'a..u upon to
render all possible assistance. Mr.
Cope stated that the governor had In
formed him that he was personally In
terested In the effort to have the poor
furnished with wholesome uud un
adulterated fond stuffs, and that he
was desirous of seeing every dealer In
deleterous goods promptly prosecuted.
Those in charge of the oleoniarga
rlue war were instructed by Mr. Cope
to spare no effort In driving the stuff
out of the market, and he authorized
Attorneys Hrown and Dartlett to call
upon agents and chemists of other dis
tricts if the local ones were not suf
ficient to carry on the crusade. The
commissioner's Instructions are t at
the civil prosecution specified by the
law be dropped for the present and
that all offenders be criminally prose
cuted. The wholesale dealers are spe
cifically designated under the ban and
orders have been Issued to confiscate
all the colored oleomargarine wbere
cver found In this district.

REPORTS VERY ENCOURAGING
Mnn Sound Money Drmodrali Will
Vol Fur McKlnlry and HuotfTrll
and tkr Wholr Ticket, and Repnb
llrana Are Knthualaatlc.
(Sprcl.il Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, Aug. 21. There Is a
large gathering of active Republicans
here today In response to a call from
Gen. Frank Recder for a meeting of
the Republican state committee, to
map out plans for the coming cam
paign. Every county In the state Is
repreaented and the greatest enthusi
asm prevails over the reports that
come from the different sections of the
state regarding the Interest of the vot
ers In the canvass for McKlnley and
Rosevelt and the entire Republican
ticket.
Chairman Reeder asked each mem
ber of the state committee to report as
to the condition of the party, the in
terest In the canvass, the character of
the organization of the Democracy and
the sentiment among Democrats as to
Bryan. He has been more than grati
fied with what he has learned from
committeemen and he predicts that the
outcome of the campaign In the Key
stone state will be entirely satisfac
tory to the leaders of the party In the
state and the nation.
THE CANDIDATES PRESENT.
Among the striking figures at the
meeting were the candidates for con-greesman-at-large
on the state ticket,
the venerable Qalusha A. Grow, of
Bueouehanna county, a member
the veteran corps of the Republican
party, and Robert H. Foerderer, of this
city, the successful manufacturer and
staunch Republican, who was placed
upon the ticket In recognition of the
manufacturing and business Interests
of the Quaker city and the large fol
lowing which he has among the mem
bers of the Union League, that patri
otic and sterling Republican organisa
tion, which was a tower of strength t
President Lincoln in the trying days
of the rebellion. ,
Another interesting character pres
ent was Edward R. Hardenbergh, the
tall and sturdy framed njfroader. of
Wayne county, who from ule days of
his early manhood has earned his liv
ing as a railroad conductor and who
to this day holds a responsible posi
tion as Instructor of conductors on one
Of the principal railroads of the state.
Mr. Hardenbergh Is the Republican
nominee for auditor general who re
ceived his nomination largely through
the activity In his behalf of the rail
road men and other wage earners who
took up his cause as one of them and
who Is expected to poll a large vote,
from Democrats who regard his nomi
nation as n very popular recognition of
the worklngmen of the state.
The state committee proposes to
make an aggressive campaign and they
will see to It that every pledge made In
the platform of the state convention
shall be kept.
ALL FOR R ALLOT REFORM.
Ttnllot reform will possibly be the
"paramount Issue" of the state cam
paign and steps will he taken to con
vince the voters that the only feasible
nnd proper way to procure ballot re
form Is through the Republican party,
which represents a great majority of
the voters of the state and which, with
the control of the legislature, Is the
only organization that can give any
sort of guarantee that its pledges will
be carried into effect.
T. Larry Eyre, rhlef executive ofilcer
of the Republican state committee,
made a very good report about the con
dition of the Republican organization
In Chester county and showed that the
Republicans, with the exception of a
small disgruntled clement, are go
ing to work for the success of the en
tire Republican ticket. He said the
Democrats were divided on the fusion
issue and that many stralghtout Dem
ocrats would refuse to give any sup
port to any fusion candidate that might
be placed In the field for the legisla
ture. From Montgomery, Westmore
land, Venango. Warren and other
counties there were similar reports. In
fact, throughout the state, where ef
forts are being made to combine Demo
crats and Insurgent factions, the re
ports showed that while the managers
of such factions may place fusion tick
ets In the field, the candidates will not
be supported by many of the Demo
cratic voters. There Is evidence that
Democrats are organizing against the
leadership of Guffey, who Is now look
ed upon ss a sort of Democratic dic
tator who has but one thing In view,
his candidacy for United States sena
tor. He is charged with using the Dem
ocratic organization for his personal
advancement which has aroused a feel
ing of hostility that will be manifested
'"ctlon day In a practical way.
Democrats rather than see Guf
fey succeed will vote the entire Repub
lican ticket.
DEMOCRATS FOR M'KINLEY.
"Gold Democrats, or rather the sound
money contingent of what was once
the Democratic party, nro throughout
Pennsylvania, as elsewhere, lining up
against Bryan. It is apparent that a
great majority of them will vote the
full Republican ticket this fall. One of
these Democrats, reviewing the pres
ent political situation as regards Bry
nnlsm said:
"In a speech delivered In Madison
Square Harden. New York. In the last
presidential campaign. William Jen
nigs Bryan, declared:
" 'The gold standard has been
weighed and found wanting. Take
from it the powerful support of the
money owning and the money
changing classes and It cannot
stand for one day In any nation In
the world.'
"Now, nt the dictation of Mr. Bryan
nnd against the wish of a majority of
the Democrats In the Kansas City con
vention," continued the gentleman,
the Democratic party was again com
mitted to this IB to 1 silver nonsense.
"Iet us consider Bryan's Madison
quare deltverenee: Shall we gather
figs from thistles or wisdom from the
lips of demagogues? By whom has the
gold standard been weighed and found
wanting? Every first class nation
among the powers of the earth has
adopted It. China alone among the old
nations holds fast to free silver, and
her monetary system and her admin
istrative policy are so weak and un
certain as though she were governed
by American Populists. When Industry
and enterprise have achieved their
noblest trlumphB, where labor has won
tts largest rewards and where the
simple principle of common honesty
has exerted the broadest Influence in
public and private affairs, there will
be found the gold standard solidly es
tabllshed the monetary basis of clvlll
cation and progress.
WHO HAVE THE MONET?
" 'Take from the gold standard the
support of the money owning and the
money changing classes, says Hryan
'and It cannot stand for a Blngle day In
any nation In the world.' But who are
the money owning class? None but the
people themselves. More than 6,000,000
of them have accounts In savings
banks. Their accumulated earnings
amount to ovct 12.500,000,000. Who
are the money changing class? Simply
the bankers, who are the trustees of
the people's money. The money owning
class Is larger, richer and more power
ful today than ever before, and tor
their present prosperity they are In
calculably Indebted to the fact that
Bryan's monstrous scheme to force a
60 "per cent, reduction In the value of
the American dollar was Indignantly
rejected In 1896. .
"If Bryan was wrong In 1896, he to
wrong today.
"If the American people voted four
years ago that he was wrong, I think
that In view of the prosperous condi
tion of the country since President Mc
Klnley's election, they will vote, by
even a greater majority this fall, to
crush Bryanlsm forever.
"Pennsylvania Democrats who be
lieve in sound money will, almost to a
man, vote for McKlnley and the entire
Republican ticket In November."

PERFECT COW STALL.
Ohio llalrj man San the One Her
Deaerlbed ll Mure rfvan
lnri Tlian Any Other.
Sanitation has become a perfect ne
cessity In every dairy barn where a
good, first-clnsx article of milk, butter
or cheese is to be produced! Thescienee
of bacterial Influence has laid down
laws that when violated leave a certain
positive loss in the wake. Every stable
should at least lie cleaned and dusted
with some absorbent once each day,
and twice would not hurt. Dusting
whenever liquids linvc accumulated
and sta id. T he stalls should be forced
free from tin accumulation of dust hikI
fine straw by ln in;r placed in the ditch
as an absorbent, thereby readily find
ing Its way into the compost heap,
away from the stable. Mai gers should
also be Kept free from any accumula
tion of uneaten food, either roughage
or grains.
The matter of providing stalls is so
important thai we have given this Tea-
PERFECT cow 8TAI.U
ture of dairy work many years of study
und practical demonstration in our
own barn. After usiiitf many devices
and reconstructing them to do away
with Imperfections, our plan for "the
perfect com- stall" resolved itself into
the plan illustrated. 1 have wen alartfc
number of stalls, but none that, litis so
many good points as tJiis one. Thou
sands of them are in um nil over the
country, and wherever put in after the
plan herein described, have proven to
be more than satisfactory. The floor
may be mailt of wood) or cement. Mine
! laid with oak with Joints broken as
laid, ullowing a drop of two inchcaln
the Bit, feet. On the platform two
three by three srantliug ore laid1 run
ning the full length of the stable. Upon
this a board or floor 18 inches wide ii
put down with flange board facing cow
even inches widfe. A two by rour post
Ave feet high is toe-nailed in one corner
of the manger, to which bott paFHwOn
hoarda and the fence in front oi me
cow nre nailedL The partition is four
feet high andS widle from outer edfre
of the two posts, but it lsoniy oneiooi
high in the mangers pint the five feet
post, so that any lare roughage can
he distributed!. The opening for both
feed and roughage is 1H Inches. The
irrain. ensilnife or uny cut feed escajK H
readily into the lK-inch manner, but
hay cannot, but rests nnlnst the rencc
and Is eaten through It.
Many find the annex of n feed bin in
front an easy means of distributing
feed to cows. The ditch is madV wa
terproof and 16 Inches wide, nine Inches
deep next to platform sndlseven Inches j
by walk. The latter may be made any
width or depth to suit the builder. The 1
distance from the ditch to the fence
facing cow depends upon the size of the
cow to occupy. The ('.', feet, is the right
lenpth for a 1,000-POUnd cow, with less
or more accordingly. The fencing can
lie placed ns far toward tin cow as her
size dVmands, so Hint she may be fenced
back to her ditch, insuring perfect
Cleanliness and at the same time hare
perfect sud absolute freedom with her
head, not havinp to move backward
or forward! to lie down or rise. Ar
rnnpements for watering with pans
bolted on ride" of partitions can be
readily attached. O. E. Scott to Ohio

HINTS FOR SUMMER.
What to Do to Carry the Dairy Oowa
Throaajh the Hot Senaon In
Good Condition.
Shade Is slmost ss important In
summer ns shelter from cold in win
ter. See that the cow hns plenty of
feed and clean water while in pas
ture, so thst she can fill her stomach
In a short time and then He down
in the shsde, chew her cud, enjoy her
self, and make milk.
The cow must not have to travel a
long distance for water. If she does,
she will fro without it until she pets
very thirsty nnd feverish, nnd then
drink until she is painfully uncom
fortable. Both conditions are unfa
vorable for milk secretion.
jf a cow bus to travel over a larpe
surface and take a pood deal of time
to fill her stomach, the extra time nnd
energy expended will cause a corre
sponding reduction in the flow of
milk.
Milking should always be done in a
clean, airy place, free from nil bad
odors. If in a stable, it should tie
scrupulously clean, and hnvc some de
odorizer, such ss dry earth, dry muck,
land plaster, sawdust, etc.. spattered
over the floor. The best of all Is the
land plaster, which goes into the ma
nure, and la applied to the soil in
bout es good a way as possible.
It Is better to hsve cows confined in
stanchions, or otherwise, for milking,
to avoid their moving about, and to
prevent aeeidents. It is also better to
nave come kind of shelter, especially
when It reins. Farm and Home.
