PENNsYLvANrHs INDEPENDENTS
A Republican Says They Are Rapidly
Gaining Strength ana Will Elect
Tho atata TleItet

"Rcpresentatlvc Dayne's denomination In
tho pittsburg district demonstrated the fact
pretty thoroughly that tho Independent ticket
in Pennsylvania is rapidly gaining strength"
said prominent Republican from tho Iron
City to q CRITIC man to-day.
"Wby, was the contest over Mr.. Bayno's re.
nomination q test OF Mr.. Camerons strength"
"Tho best test that has been mado yet. You
see, Cameron bent overy oirort to defeat Bayno
and there was nothing left unturned. 1t re.
suited, as you are aware, In not only q complete
Victory for Bayne, but decided indorsemont
Of the Bayno style OF kicking against Cameron
boselsm In Pennsylvania. Indeed, It was
An Independent Victory
that was recognized as u black eye to Stall
wartlsm throughout the entire state. Tho
strength of CnmerOnlsm was concentrated III

nominated by n delegate vote of 103 to 20
there IL no difficulty in discerning which way
the straws bend--they lean over strongly to
ward ard the Independent, marty ,.,. o,,,,,s.
Mr., Bayno, tho Halfbrecd was district neht,
or that his Endorsement was alone that OF

WNot at all. As have statod, It was con.
test that was participated In by tho two fac
tlons In the State, and the result shows mo

an lndorscment of Mr.. Blaine. That the result
OF that victory has helped the Republican

that all the good the elections In Maino havo

Political Points.

A full official return of the vote Of the
State of Vermont reveals the astonishing fact
that the Republicans have carried the State by
very large majority.
General Bragg, who was defeated for re-
nomination 10 Congress In the Second Wiscon
sin District, does not Intend TO bolt and run as
an Independent candidate. He VIII submit
quietly to his defeat and look 10 the future for
his vindication.
Notwithstanding the fact that ex.Sena-
tor Mitchell, Of oregon, received tho Republl.
can caucus nomination OF the Legislature for
Senator, there is n deadlock In open House
that bids fair to last for some time TO como II
not eventually defeating him.
When General Singleton announced HIM
self as an Independent candidate for Congress
in the Twelfth District OF Illinois II was
thought that all tho elements opposed TO the
Democrats would support him. The Prohlbi-
tionists, however, were dissatisfied, as both
tho candidates in the field were pronounced
antttemperancc mon, and they haye accord
ingly nominated q candidate OF their own.
This will doubtless insure the election OF the
straight Democratic nominee.
There is little history connected with
the defeat OF Congressman Young In his effort
to secure denomination in the Second District
OF Cincinnati. Mr.. Amor Smith was Collector
OF Internal Revenue In that city and had made
q record for efficiency second TO no man In the
service. But Congressman Young wanted the
place for q Stalwart and he secured Mr.. Smith, 8
removal and the appointment OF his own man.
The verdict of tho voters on the proceeding Is
shown by the fact that Mr.. Young went Into
the nominating convention with so delegates,
while Mr. Smith had 157 and carried away the
prize.
Forty Republican conventions met in
Philadelphia yesterday to nominate Congress
sional, legislative, county and city tickets. The
following nominations were made for county
and city offices; For Sheriff, George Deb.
Kelm; Register of Wills John l.. Kinsey; City
Treasurer, William D. Irvine; Common Pleas,
Amos Briggs. The latter received 01f votes
out OF 857 cast. This vote was then made
unanimous, but q few Of the minority with
drew from the convention, and afterward
passed resolution declaring the nomination
Irregular and requesting sail Republicans
opposed to machine.rule" to refuse to support
the nomination.
The Republican State convention of Mis-.
souri,, in opposition to the Filley wing OF the
party, met In jefferson City yesterday. Judge
Chester II. Krum, of st. Louis, was made per
manent president, and Winfield Miller secre
tary. The following State ticket was nomi
mated by acclamation For Supreme Judge,
