sisiille unit, In every platform which ! mas put
firth, il has uneqUivUcaly reiterated the docirles
of the Republican National Convention OF 1000
Except in nt me, the Peoples party Of tins state IL
in thorough fellowship with the great Repuohcan
raliy OF the North aud West The disposition uni
verssly amin afiug It's masses is that OF cordial VII,
In gIets TO abide / y the decision OF the National
Convention to be called by the National Republican
Executive Con niittee. While there may exist d.
yison Of sentiment in regard to the ayaiiaollty OF
caudidates there il none whatever as tO the para
mount necessity Of sinking all personal preferences
tie II meut the National Convention shall have
n ade It's selection from the great names before the
country.
Hitherto The Opposition party Of this State has
uniioImly sustained the principle of having with
tie voters Of the several Congressional DISTRICTS the
selection of the District delegates To tbs National
Convention. This cmiuently sensible precedent Is
row sought to be SET aside, and very cunnlngy-
devised plan las been started - take out OF the
hands oi tie people this power Of selection ana
transfer il 10 tie State Convention. which IS 10
n e,t AT Harrisburg Feb -, 1900. The State tx
eeuiiye Con nItiee nj IFS meeting held IN this city
Oh the Sd Of November last, resolved to auihonze
O cal for State Convention, which, according to
the language of the resolution, should indicate
'tleir choice for the Presidency, nominate can
GiCate for Governor, appoint two Senatorial dele
"eaiCs, and designate ume and manner oil elecliIg
"t,pttstRGtioe dei'gdtes "a their reSPectIre D'S.
"fr.efsn The Chairman of the Committee issued
the call Subsequently. But the languages OF tine cal
differs essentially in spirit from that IT the resou-
ten originally passed N Committee. Ii declares
flat tie Peoples State Convention shall be held
"at Harrisburg on Feb. -, lS0O, to indicate their
"choice for the next Presidency, nominate eau
"dioate Tor Governor, form al Electoral uckeh
"aIpont Senatorial and TO designate the time
"aLd mode of eeciirg District delegates to the Nd
[" liz nal Convention.
n is we'll understood in political circles here that
an atten Ut viii be made unGer the ambiguous word
ue oil this call TO justify the attempt which WIZ DC
MADE To induce the Convention 10 assume me pow
er of "electiBg district Daegates." The Repub-
Gcaus ss part ana an il luentla part, OF the Peoples
Patty have formed " Central Republican Ciub,
ard have PUT forth an imposing manifesto, asserting
their full communion with the Peoples Party, while
AT the same time anmadverting upon the despotIc
attempt made 10 deprive the Opposition voters OF
the privilege of choosing their swn delegates to the
Nat CBa Convention. Nor is this feeling cOnnned
10 Republicans merely. Tie DAILY AecS (the strait
American oIgab) has not disguised It's hOStihtyto
TIE course in question, while such journals OF the
interior. as. Tie Pittsburgh Gazette The PITS
Jureh DISPATCH Tie HOHidaysbHrg Wh,g, Iae
Ltheh Register, The Backs County iRteLigencer,
Tie NoTTisfoun R,puJiican, The Chester County
Tines, have condemned the language OF the
call as wliull peIyersion of the obvious lnten-
ton of the Executive Committee The result thus
tOethaGtwed is too plain TO escape the most o0tuse
oil seryation. Should the attempt be successful IN
Tie State Convention TO appoint n solid delegation
10 tie National Convention IN favor of any partcu-
lar candidate there Will be an inevitable bolt OF the
aIgest ana mott influential portion Of the Peoples
patty. In Allegheny Indiana, Mercer Bradford,
1ioga as well usn the eastern portion OF the State,
and particularly in Philadelphia, defiant resist
ance will he made TO this dictatiOn on the
part of the friends Of Mr.. Cameron, and to such
rebellion the friends of all other candidates will lend
their sympathy as the only means left of rebukiug
the Conventions usuTpation. 1t would not be ex-
aegeIatrg the sentiment of Indignation to say that
il nay, il further utlamed, preepiTate coup Getat,
and throw into the National Convention double
delegation the bearing its credentials from the
State Convention, the other from the people of the
several Congressional Districts. }.
