Chairman Babcock Is Looking
Hopefully to Pennsylvania
Republicans.
THERE IS DANGEB IK FUSION.
Keyatone state' It epresen tn t Ion
Mny Be Cot Down Through the I n
aorgent Denl With the PonaOOga
ey on the l.ealalntnre.
(Special rnrrespnndenre.)
Philadelphia, Sept. 11. Chalrmnn
Unbcock, of the Republican conKres
slonnl coramittM, Is worried over the
composition of the next house of repre
sentatives, which he fears may have
a Democratic majority and which will
be able to thwart the efforts nnd work
of the McKlniey administration, If the j
latter should be re-elected. He has
been moved to write a letter to the
Allied Republican clubs regarding the 1
Third district of Pennsylvania, which j
at present is represented by a Demi -
crat, hut whirl) ought to bo represent
ed by a Republican, if In that district
there are a majority of Republican
voters, aa It is claimed that there Is.
DANGER IN FUSION.
The one thing that more than any
thing, else will ensure the election of
Democratic members of congress, not
only In the Third district, but through
out the slut. Is fusiun. and Mr. (Juf
fey and his followers make no Bee ret
of their Intentions to fuse with the in
surgent Republicans to that end. Mr.
Quffey has no more lovo for an Instir
gent Republican than he has for a stal
wart, except so far its he can use him
to advance the cause of Demoracy and
Bryanism. The Democratic party In
Pennsylvania is entering into fusion
deals in I ennsylvanla for the sole pur
pose "f Increasing the Democratic del
egation in congress and also, according
to The Record, of possibly electing
fol. Quffey or sume other Democrat as
Unlicd States si nator. Or, possibly, by
securing the balance of power in the
legislature they hope to prevent the
election of a Republican United stale.,
senator, 'i bis would mean one Repub
lican vole less In the senate.
DEMOCRATIC HOPES.
Guffey's principal organ In this city,
Tlie Record, is urging the Democrats
to look after tl.'- election of congress
men. On this subject it said u few
days ago:
"The chairman of the Democratic
congressional campaign committee be
lieves thai the outlook Is favorable for
the gain of several Democratic repre
sentativesenough to ensure a major
ity In the house of tl.ow who are op
posed to he colonial policy of the Re
publican lenders. It Is long since It
lias been us Important ns It Is now to
wrest from the Republicans the control
of the house of representatives. To ef
fect t'ns is ;, purpose that should appeal
to the sympathy and invite the aid of
n large proportion cf the voters of both
parties, This year there are many
men whoso Interest iti polities has nl
wayi been keen, who cannot support
the presidential candidate of either
party with th"ir accustomed enthusi
asm. To them the election of Y.v.
Bryan would mean an untimely attack
on the financial policy of the govern
ment and an agaitatlon In favor of the
absolute abandonment of territory just
ly acquired and consecrated to the ser
vice of American civilisation by the
blood of our soldiers. The election of
Mr. McKlnlcy, they foresee, would he
construed by tbe Republican leaders
ns a popular endorement of the admin
istration's policy and a warrant for
longer withholding from the annexed
islands the protection of the constitu
tion. The ardent patriotism of the
American citizen Is not satisfied with a
choice of evils, and It should 1 e tho
business of the Democratic congres
sional committee to offer b pi iltlve
purpose for which perplexed voters
could labor with enthusiasm.
"it is the part of the d mocratic
congressional committee to organise
nn opposition to the Republican candi
date In i very congressional district
that is not hopelessly in the control
of the Republican machine. It should
carry on Its campaign without regard
to the presidential contest, except
where that could be made to serve a
good purpose. It Should consider the
election of Democratic representatives
tis of the lirst Importance to the conn
try, and Its task to be of greater con
sequence than that of the national
committee, which body hns hitherto
overshadowed It. A heavier respon
sibility rests on the congressional com
mits e than It has ever borne, and It
should do its work Independently and
with unprecedented energy."
WOl'I.D HURT M KIN I. ICY ADMIN
ISTRATION. Thus it will lie seen thnt while Ouf
fey Is asking Republicans to desert
their party nominees for his fusion
legislative candidates, he Is hard at
work striving to defeat regular Repub
lican candidates for congress and i
using nil the power of his newspaper
supporters to elect a Hryanlte con
gress. Chalrmnn Habcock needs to devote
considerable attention to the fusion
schemes ut present being carried on in
all parts of this state. Mayor Ash
brldge is right in Insisting that the
committees represented by Mr. Hanna
and Mr. Babcock should go to work at
once, and if possible put an end to
these fusion movements.
To fuse with the Democratic party
in the present important crisis is to
give incalculable aid and comfort to
the enemies of tbe Republican party.
It places the administration of Presi
dent McKlniey in Jeopardy. No Re
publican who values his party prin
ciples or bis country's welfare will
lend himself to fusion tn any way.
CLUBMEN WILL HELP.
The State League of Republican
Clubs proposes to make the congres
sional situation In Pennsylvania a
feature ef Its convention of the 17th
and 18th lnsts. In this city. President
J. Hampton Moore has received a let
ter from Congressman Henry C. Lou
dcnslagcr, who Is in charge ef the
eastern headquarters of the Republican
congressional committee at Washing
ten, concerning the congressional situa
tion In Pennsylvania.
Among other Ih ngs Congressman
Loudenslajter said:
I "I have written Babcock urging him
' to be with you on the 17th. I notice
j l the Philadelphia papers the publl
j cation of his letter to you containing
I suggestion about the Third district. I
sincerely hope that the matter ot con
1 gresslonal elections in Pennsylvania
, will be given much uioro of a placa
In this campaign than It has received
! up to this time. There Is no reason
why with united efforts on the part of
the Republican managers In the state
' of Pennsylvania we should not reclaim
at least six districts now represented
! by Democrats, and It ought to he the
desire of every earnest man residing
within the limits of that state to
do whatever is within his power to se
cure this additional support in the
house of representatives to a contin
uance of Republican administration of
affairs, I shall endeavor to be present
with you on the 17th If possible."
ASHBRIDGE TAKES A HAND.
Congressman McAleer, who desires
to succeed himself In the Third dls- !
trlct. called on Mayor Aahbrldge last
week ami was in close conversation ;
with lrm for quite a while. After he
had gone the mayor was seen and nak
ed as to the c. us.- of the Democratic
congressman's visit. Mayor Aahbridga
lu response said: "Mr. McAleer called
on me for the purpose of soliciting the
support rr i v administration lu his
can', i for re-election. I told him'
thai while ! had no persona interest !
In the candidate for congress in any
Of the distrli Is, that I had I een asked j
several tlmi l I y Chairman M irk Han- '
na to do all I could to elect a Repub
llcan In the Third congressional dis
trict. That in ...Id;: ion to that both
Chairman Babcock and sub-Chairman
Loudenalager bad seen me several times I
in relation to the matter and had urged
upon me the necessity of Bending a I
Republican from that district
Continuing the mayor said: "In my I
talks with Mr. Habcock bo told me
that the Republican party expected to
gain at least six congrensmen from i
Pennsylvania, and I have told him
that unless he and Mr. Hanna put a
stop to tho work of some of thulr al- j

Members of tbe Republican national
nommiitui' have expressed surprise at
Mr. Bryan's speeches lu West Virginia.
It w;;x expected by tbe committeemen
generally that ti:e burden of his dlr
courses in th east would

Senator M. B. Bcott said:
"Mr. Bryan lias shitted his ground
again and put another slide luio his
magic lantern. We thought this was

VATBav B, sriiTT.
stpad of that ho has switched off oa
to tho farmer issue anil has Informed
tbe farmers of West Virginia how they
have suffered under the McKlniey ad
ministration. He U-lls them that tbe
times are hard, and that they havn t
pot any mom y. or it tbey have it is not
due t j tbe Republli an policy. He uis,
promises to give them more money,
but neglei ts to say th it UiIm new money
will not hp worth half as much as their
present money. To be sure, he says it
has happened that the farmers have
never had bitter crops of a better de- i
mand for them at home or abroad and
that money Is iniiiritiK into this coun- I
try from Europe; but this only happen- i
ed tbe Republicans had nothing to do '
with It. And to forth. It really Is an
Interesting question whether Mr. llry
sn or any other sane man can BCtuallj
believe that tho intelligent farmers of
America t ike any stock in smh trans
parent nonsense as this, when the
Simple fact Is that the farmers arc in
mueh better condition than they were
tour years ago. and. indeed, were never !
so well off as now. This is the univer
sal testimony 0 flue farmers them
selves in all sections. Here are a few
figures:
Tho average value of farm animals
has teadlly Increased from 1S97 to 1900.
The average for horses advanced from
$31 In 18JC to f 44 In 1900; the average
ralne of mules from $41 lu 1896 to $03
In 1900, and of cows from $23 to 31. In
1896 the averago value of corn was 21 V4
cents a bushel; In 1889 tbe average
value was 30.3 cents. In 1900 the total
wealth In tbe hands of the farmers of
America was $2,000,000,000 more than
at the close of Cleveland's administra
tion. Their exports of breadstuffs last
year amounted In value to $263,000,000.
or $100,090,000 more than In any year
of Cleveland's term. The audacity of
standing up before the farmers and
telling them that they are not pros
perous In the face of such figures aa
these hi amaslng."
