The Machine Still Working.

The news from Harrisburg indicates
that the Republican machine" ;" still
has its grip, and very tight one, on the
organization of that party in this state.
What promised to be very quiet and
insignificant state convention, issuing in
the nomination without serious con-
test of man not altogether distasteful
to Cameron and yet the choice OF his
opponents. turns out to be a chance for
the Cameron dynasty to reassert its
domination and regain its lost prestige.
1t proposes to avail itself of that oppor-
tunity. It turns up with a big majority
of the delegates to the convention,
quietly secured i'm this off year and
taken to Harrisburg to be counted by
the Davies people and found largely
against them. Whether Mr.. Garfield
lives or dies the Cameron COM
binatiOn find it necessary to assert
their control of the Republican organiza-
tiOnin Pennsylvania, in the view of the
country at large and in advance of and
preparation for the gubernatorial can

assertion it emphasizes first by sectring
two-thirds of the delegates, then by
making the obnoxious Quay temporary
chairman, by appointing its friends to the
control of the committees, and crowning
the work by making Senator Cooper
chairman of the state committee for
next year. As an act of policy, as well
as of condescensiOn, this element of the
party will make its endorsement of Mr..
Garfield as broad as it can be made.
In their unexpectedly taking control
of the convention the Cameron-Quav
party of course want to punish their
former ally, Senator Davies, for his posi-
tion as bolter in the last session of the
Legislature, and to make its condemna-
tion of that bolt the formal judgment of
the party. To the extent in which they
succeed will their work fail to recon-
mend itself to the enthusiastic support
Of the portion Of the party which
approves that bolt. Thus handicapped
the Republican party selects to enter the
campaign. 1t is encouragement to the
Williamsport convention to act wisely.

a bundle OF letters from his sweetheart.

We'll, now, say, boss, it's long WAYS
down there. and the folks are going To
start for Colorado in the morning and the
girls going along if don't get them

here the poor fellow sobbed aloud with
the great sadness that was breaking him
down.
