THE I FADERS OF THE THREE PROMINENT PARTIES
IN PHILADELPHIA CONSULTING WITH FRIENDS.
BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRBUNE
PHILADELPHIA July 11-There have been three
important political gatherings in this city tonight.
The independent Republican candidates and some
of their friends in conference for
several hours at the house of Colonel William
McMichael: Chairman Cooper of the Stall
wart Republican Committee, has been discussing
with Mr. Brosus and Mr.. Greer, candidates
on the Cameron ticket and Others, the work laid
ont for the meeting of the committee Tomorrow,
and the candidates on the Democratic ticket have
been in consultation over the selection of
the chairman of their State Committee and
TO perfect plans for campaign work. Their seec
ton of w. W. Hensel of Lancaster, for chairman of
their committee il generally regarded as the best
that could have been made and adds another ele-
ment of strength to the Democratic ticket.
The great point of interest, however. is the meet
ing of the Stalwart Republican State Com
mittee Tomorrow to take some action
toward harmonizing the party in this State. Not
more than twenty of the one hundred and seven
members Of the committee nave arrived, but full
attendance is expected. There is a diversity OF
views expressed by those now here Some are OPP
,osed to anv COMPROMISE and want to continue the
fight. The majority, however are IN favor
of new convention. The committee
some doubt expressed rs to whether it can be
controlled by Mr. Cameron Mr. Beaver and other
candidates are expected to be in the city o-mOrrow
The committee viii. probably pass a resolution IN
f,vor Of using all honorable means
70 secure harmony in the party and
then appoint committee to carry out this
purpose Whether this special committee Will be
coupos I'd OF we'll known Republicans outside OF the
State Committee or members Of the latter Is not
vet decided When Beaver and the other nom-
nees of the Harrisburg Convention met here
the other day with Cameron, Quay and Cooper. 1t
WAS agreed that a letter to be signed by all the can
dilates should be sent to the State Committee at Its
session tomorrow, expressing their wiling
ness to do whatever may be thought best under
the circumstances to promote harmony. This
will not be offering their designations, but
II ia intended TO convey their willingness
To resign il necessary. The special committee will
then determine upon the best method of putting
the Independents in hole" 10 use the expressive
language of Sialwart. Some persons high up In the
ranks of the party assert tonight that harmony Is
now assured and that new convention and new
ticket will be the outcome, and that TINS
will be forced upon MT cameron , aeainst ms
wishes by some powerful influences from "llnouo
"a well as within the State W.
The gathering of Messrs. Stewart. Duff, Wolfe,
McMichael, Junkin and other independents
AZ this time is SAID to be q mere coincidence the
meeting having been called three weeks ago by
Chairman J. d. Mckee, oil the m npepsre
dent State CoinmlUtee' W Pi0P'io
campaign work. Nevertheless they were
t"-night discussing the probabilities OF
comnromise' The Independents do not be-
lieys IN Mr. Camerons sincerity, and
think the present move of his Is Tor
the purpose of strengthening his own ucAeee
nv thu snb,tii utlOn of other names for those OF
Rawe and Greer 1t seems probable thai tine indie
pendents will agree to new convention only
pnon the conditions that both tickets now
in The field shall be withdrawn permanently
and an entirely new ticket nominated, and that the
convention shall be held under the rules Oh Tue
peace Conference and that the platform shall be
inf in nractice and not made meaningless by the
assessmeut of office holders and the removal OF
comnet.nt officials. These terms would dispose OF
Reaver IA candidate, which he insists
shall not be done. Mr.. Cameron Is
understood TO be willing TO sacrifice all the ucket
probably come in.
