ANUMEEE of that class of Republi-
cans whom the EcaH.i,ter calls " feather
heads,'' :: sOreheads and moOnshin-
ers," met at the Continent; hotel yes
terday to organize The anti-Cameron
forces = within the party = in the state.
Wolfe was not there. lie lowl3 without
the party. Senators Lee and Stewart
were the leading spirits of the meeting,
and Lancaster county was represented
by Editor Geist, Counsellor Martin,
Statesman Lands and Senator kauff-
man. All of them had their grievances
to relate and their remedy to offer, which
was an effective organization Of all the
nti-Camcron-Quay elements into an
opposing ring, working in the open field
OF Republican politics. 1t was agreed
Oh all sides to neither ask nor take
any Democratic aid or comfort, and
upon Editor Smiths mOtiona committee
Of seven is to he appointed "to secure
unity among the Republicans of the

representation of the popular will, and
to select Il general committee, cores
pondng with the number of senators
and representatives from the several dis
tricts, to communicate with the eXecu-
tive committee and promote the objects
for which yesterdays meeting was held.
1t remains to be seen what this move
ment will accomplish. Its managers re-
pudiate Grow and will have none of
him. Although by its terms it excludes
Wolfe and his fifty thousand who are
willing to go outside the party to secure
reform, it will not be gainsaid that this
had not Wolfe'S superior courage pOlled
the vote of Independent Republicans
last week. In the person of Senator
Davies, who Was 1T yesterdays meeting,
we recognize 4 very stale person, in whom
there is no promise of genuine iniepend-
eice OF sincere revolt against the bosses.
He is no further to he trusted than
Grow and it would have been much
more inspiring had the bold Wolfe been
invited to this council than such 4 time
server us Davies.
TIE: Tribune article of 1919 recommend :

THERE was thin ice in the cutters this
morning even than the iceman
can slice it in July.
CANDIDATE Tom Cooper thinks Quay's
suggestion OF Grow for governor & a joke"
And Cooper wants no johin. at his
funeral. -
We are assured, oI authority the relia-
blity of which we do rot question, that
the report that Mr.. Thomas Ii. Greevy, of
Altoona one of the secretaries Of the Dem
ocratic state committee. exerted his in
fuence for John Cessna's election, has no
other foundation than in the imagination of
Mr.. Grccvy's enemies and the fact that he
and Cessna are personal fricnds-as they
have a right to be.
TIE Isl section Of the act of March 10Th,
1919, provides that ''any person who shall
kill any wolf or wolves, within this COM
monwealth, and produce the head or
scalp thereof before any justice of the
peace, shall be paid the sum of twelve dol
lars" The Pottsvillc Chronicle has ex-
humcd the following:
NJ. S. Quay. Sccretery OF the Common
wealth,
To SILAs NJ. BAILY, DIR.
To scalp of one Wolfe. .sl3 90
The Virginia Republicans want to elect
to the United States Senate Lewis, who
believes in scaling the national as we'll
as the state debt. elf" Malone gets
cabinet place John S. Wise will be elect
cd to succeed him and Lewis will be
chosen for the long term. Riddlcberger,
is is said, will be appointed either marshal
Or district attorney for the Western district
of Virginia. Meantime the Reputation
lists are exercised over report that the
Democrats will try to coax Off their negro
vote with an offer to elect black man to
the Senate. There is a good deal Of misce.
genation il Virginia politics nowadays.
CONCERNING the star route thieves it
has seemed to the Sun from the first most
improbable that office-holders belonging to
the Republican party, aud put into power
by it, should ever effectively extirpate
those atrocious abuses. On tho one hand
the friends Of Mr.. Blaine are deeply i'm
picated on the other, conspicuous sup
porters of Gen. Grant have their pockets
stuffed with the stolen cash. At most
critical moment in 1880 one set of them
were called upon by Gen. Garfield him
self to contribute toward the expenses of
the campaign and to save the party an
other set, by adroit manipulations and by
the liberal use of what has been designated
as soar, carried the election in Indiana |
and opened prospect of Republican sue
cess while, mixed up with these various
classes, there were not wanting those |
whose purpose was to turn an honest !!
penny by levying toll upon either group of
the plunderers, as circumstances or op
portunity might seem to favor.
