FUSION KAr.KED BY UtidOCKAlS. I me of aepubllean Clubs in Phlla-
delpbla ami win. bave returned home
(Special Correspondei '-v ""' convention was a complete
Harrlsburg, Sept. 18. Since the can- fucce88, thn there sreal en
vass for members of the legislature the rank ami file of the
began there has I n nothing which Sv;iv i , inT'T "' lako
. ,. , . ,, ! IU,U Interest III the elect on of Ke-
has directed attention more to the ,.,, ... , .,
, , , publican eonjrressmen and they are
folly of the fusion advocates than the ,,.,, Bel ., ..,.., nny deala wlth Ul0
resait of the primary elections in Democrats mi legislative tickets.
Philadelphia, Fusion does not seem to he popular
Republicans have been Impressed with the Republicans Identified with
with the idea that there is hut one the State League and all insisted that
tiling to do and that Is to vote tho Republicans must stand by tha
atraight Republican ticket. To do
otherwise is to help the Democratic
politicians who are working to elect
Democrats to congress and to cany
what would ordinarily be Republican
legislative districts.
The .Martin men In Philadelphia and
tne i iiiin supporters m rittsnurg may,
have their own interests to serve, hut:
they do not represent true Republican- j
lam. The mure Republicans consider j
the matter of fusion the less they find
la il to the Hdvantana of their DartV.
DEMOCRATS AUK ACTIVE.
Deniocrata by their action In Phila
delphia have shown that they are eager
to carry Into effect the fusion deals, he
cause they are nil likely to help tho
Democratic candidates for state or na
tional offices,
Congressmen J. K P. Hull, of Elk,
and Unfits K. Polk, of Montour, were
conspicuous in the conferences tit Phil
adelphia last week, and. together with
Chairman Rilling, of the Democratic
state committee, they mapped out
plans for the success of their candi
dates for slate offices and for con
gress. The conferences between tho Demo
crats and the insurgent Republican
leaders tn the state are all held at
hotels In Philadelphia. These alleged
itepuhticana am afraid to go to the
regular heauquartoro of the Du-,-ratle
party. They sneak Into the
hotels where the Democratic state
chairman or National Committeeman
Ouffey are stopping. Without any one
knowing that they are there, they con
coct sceines to defeat the regular Re
publican candidates for the legislature
who might vote against the choice for
United .Slates senator.
OUFFEV IS ANXIOUS.
Guffey and Rilling are anxious to
protect their Republican allies, so they
malic as much mystery as possible
about their confci i nces.
Congressman Hall Is Interested la
the effort to defeat the Republican
candidates for the legislature In Cen
tre ami Clearfield counties, as be
recognizes the fad that the greater
the Republican dissensions in these
counties the greater will be the op
portunity to gei Republican votes for
the Democratic candidate tor congress,
in Congressman Polk's district tbe
Democrats are getting the insurgent
Republicans to help dt feat B, K. Focht
for Hie stale senate. They want to
divide the Republican forces so as to
help Ouffey to get a Democrat in the
slate senate front this district. Ouffey
believes that he can elect former Con
gressman Wolverton. and In so doing
he can help his candidacy for the I'ni
ted states senate.
Since the Republican primaries in
Philadelphia the insurgents have not
been so enthusiastic. They do not
know where they tire at. At present
writing they feel very much like iv
Ing up the light. Their only hope lies
In a fusion witli tie' Philadelphia De
mocracy, and in this they will he con
fronted with many obstacles.
QUAY'S TOUR OK THE STATE.
Interest Is taken In the proposed
cntiV,,.:,s liy Col. M. S. Quay for re
election to the United Slates senate.
This will lr.! an innovation In political
campaigning, as it will practically he
an Inauguration of the proposed sys
tem for the election of United States
senators by popular vote. Col, Quay
will visit a number of counties and
,?ct in touch with the Republican vot
ers. He will make several speeches,
hut he Bays his main purpose Is to
meet the people and discuss party af
fairs with them.
Col. Quay will start out about Oct.
1 and will visit different sections of the
state. Ho will be accompanied by
several personal and political friends.
He has been embarrassed by the num
ber of Invitations he has received, and
will he unable to accept but a few
of them. He will go to Chester coun
ty, where his ancestors lived, and he
Is assured of a great reception.
Col. Quay says that he Is In favor of
the proposition to have United States
senators elected by popular vote. There
Is a plank In tbe Republican platform
railing for this, and he Is heartily la
sympathy with tho proposition.
When Col. Quay was a candidate for
re-election before he was voted for tn
a number of counties at Republican
primary elections and he has reason
to be proud of the result. He had
large majorities m a number of coun
ties over Congressman John Dalzell,
of Pittsburg, and other opponents.

While ibis growth Is observable In

it Is especially marked witli reference
