PHILADELPHIA, September 6, 1915.
The wings have now placed in nomination their
tickets in the city and county for representatives in
the Legislature, mayor, councils, &C.; and their nom-
nations will be complete as they have chosen
their candidates for the various city and county Off
ccs. begin to believe that they intend to support
their nominations in good faith; and there can be no
doubt that the leaders of the party are actively ut
work to induce the masses to carry out this policy
1t is said that they intend Con the plan adopted by
Dudley Selden, of New York. year ago) "stump-
ing il" through the county. The resolutions passed
few evenings ago, by the wing city ana county
convention, are nervously and powerfully drawn,
and are generally imputed TO the eloquent pen of
Judge Conrad who will be, it is expected, support
ed by the wings for the post of register Of wills
Two of these resolutions curious. ] copy them
for the benefit of the public:
nothing undone that justify the detection Of any mem
Der ofthe party; that is all that has been
n bso OF that which ean reeWe an nnh
men Of banner from the reproach and contempt which
ever, with those who nurse the treason, await the
traitor
Resoired That the third party which has sprung up
not the wing party and that ground is not ours that it
does not bear our name avow principles maintain
measures that Is local. temporary and of one dea
while the whig party is Of and for all our country through
all times, and in all emergencies
There is in these resolutions much that could be
made the text of long and serious comment. What
else is meant by "reproach and contempt for those
who ''abandon our banner" but rebuke of those
wings who, last fall herded with the natives in the
vain hope of defeating Col. Polk' II is well enough
for wing friends to be sorry for that most cu-
pabe transaction but it is going little far for
regular convention Of wings to denounce trea
son what was last year the deliberate act Of the
whole party, almost without exception. These
resolutions, however, mean much; and, although
many very honest people may think the conversion
Of our Philadelphia wings rather too sudden and
violent to last yet the fact that obedience to the sug
gestions of the resolutions quoted is necessary to
the existence Of whigery in the CITY, may lead our
whig opponents to adhere to their tickets in the city
and county, and to refuse all connection with the
natives.
The democratic State convention, held at Harris
burg on Thursday, closed its proceedings on the
evening of that day. The gentleman nominated for
canal commissioner is James Burns esq.,, Of Mifflin
county. know him well as a democrat without
guile, and as man of practical and active mind
lie occupied seat in the legislature last winter,
and while there, supported the principles and usages
of the party faithfully to the last The resolutions
passed by the convention are from the pen of the
Hon. Benjamin Champney, Of Lancaster county, and
will, doubt, be copied into the "Union" as the first
expression oflhe democracy Of Pennsylvania in gene
raj State meeting, since the incoming of the present
national administration. There is no factious oppos-
ton to the administration among the democracy of
our gallant old commonwealth They see in Col
Folks course, as already indicated an earnest de-
sire to subserve the interests to protect the honor
and to defend the rights, Of the nation. As they
were the very first to strike in favor Of Col. Polk
IN the great fight last year-a blow, the moral IN
fuence of which was felt 10 the remotesi corners of
the and-so they will be the last to oppose, cause
lessly and hypercritically, the acts of man in
whose elevation they aided. The disorganizer in
this State will soon find how weak and impotent he
is.
