'The ticket nominated might havo been

Democratic friends profofvi to bo pleased with
tho result, but they may sing n far different
song whon tbo voters of Schuylkill county
record their verdict next fall. In the
control of tho convention tho Quay and anti
Quay lines wcro entirely obliterated. This is
shown by tbe nomination of nooning,
Jenkyn and Kantncr. Tho Brumiu--Whlte-houso
cohorts favored the former, but, strongly
opposed tko two latter candidates who were
both nominated by hsndsnmo majorities,
whilo tho Judgeship was very close. Had
tho factional lines been closely drawn tbe
ticket would havo been materially changed.
Daniel Duffy carried off tho honors of tho

Unfortunately for his cause tho delegates had

change them. Hon. Charles N. Brumm made
ono of his characteristic Breeches in present

Wnshlngton, July 18. A statemont
was prepared at army hoadquartors
yoatorday nnd Rlvon out for publication
containing the correspondence between
General Mlloa and tho war departmont
regarding tho sending of troops to
Manila. Tho statement says:
There has been some discussion In
tho press recently rotating to an al
leged difference of opinion regarding
tho number of troops to bo sent to
tho Philippine Islands in tho first in
stance Immediately upon recolvlng the
news, through press dispatches, of
Dowoy's victory at Manila, General
Mites recommended tho dispatch of n
military force to the Philippine Islands.
In his letter he recommended that Gen
eral Anderson bo sent with 5,000 men,
including volunteers from California,
Oregon and Washington. This recom
mendatton was endorsed by tho presl
dent, if approved by the secretary
war," on May 4.
Up to this time no communication
had been received from Admiral Dow
oy, his first dispatch, dated May 1, not
roachlng Washington until the 7th.
In this dispatch Admiral Dewey gavo
his opinion that 5,000 men would bo
sufficient to capture and control tho
Philippine islands. He estimated tho
Spanish force at 10,000 men and tho
rebel forco at 30,000.
On May 1G, 1898, after seeing tho
above dlspntch from Admiral Dewey,
General Miles rocommonded that, "In
order to mako the United States forco
as strong nnd effective as possible with
a vlow to Its maintaining our posses
sion and our flag In tho Philippine
Islands, and at the same tlmo rollovo
our navy as speedily as posslblo," cer
tain regiments, aggregating 15,425 men,
be forwarded nt onco to Manila.
It was General Miles' opinion that.
In view of the admiral's statement that"
tho Spanish forco was estimated at
10,000 men, It would be advisable for
us to havo a preponderating forco.
In tho meantime General Mcrritt
had been selected to command tho ex
pedition for tho Philippines, and In a
letter to tho president dated May-15,
1898, he submitted an estimate of
troops necessary to constitute such an
expedition comprising 14,400 men, of
small ordnnnce detachment. "
General Miles had not seen General
Merrltt's estimate when ho wrote tho
letter of May 16.
It thuB appears that thero was no
controversy regarding tho number of
troops to bo sent, General Miles, in
fact, having designated moro than
General Merritt called for, but only a
rtlffflrenco of onlnlon as to tho com
position of tho force, General Merritt
desiring to havo moro regulars than
were designated by General Miles.
Certain newspapers have attempted
to show that General Miles did not
want moro than 0,000 troops to bo sent
to tho Philippines under General Mer
ritt, hut tho official correspondence
shows this not to bo tho fact.

Chicago, July 18. Mayor Carter H.
Harrison yesterday sent a letter to tho
committee in charge of arrangements,
for the Democratic meeting at the
Auditorium July 20, in which he de
cltnes to deliver an address of wel
come. He Bays: "In ordinary cir
cumstances I should be only too glad,
both as mayor of Chicago and as a
Democrat, to welcome tho national
committeo or any number of promi
nent Democrats to Chicago, but it
would be an absurdity to welcomethese
distinguished men under the auspices
of a self constituted committee whoso
porsonnol Is too obacure to be known
even In Its homo city. Had this meet
ing boen organized under the direction
nf Democrats of regular type and
Unown party standing It would havo
afforded me great pleasuro to be pres
ent." When a cony of Mayor Harrison's
lettor was shown ex-Governor Altgold
the latter said: "I am sorry the mayor
looks at It that way. Ho has made a
grave mistake. He has lost a golden
opportunity. Should ha come to tho
meeting ana niano a rousing uomo
cratlc speech he would placo himself
at the head of the Democratic party In
the stato. But he lost tho chance now."
When Mr. W. F. Cooling, secretary
of the committee, read the mayor's
letter he said: "We have given the
young man In the city hall the op
portunity of his life, which he has
failed to appreciate. The son of Car
tor Harrison has now ceased to bo a
Democratic possibility."
