that they want protection, but desire also to keep
within the party traces The evidence ia abundant that
the Democrats will find II difficult task 70 carry Norm

there has made II doubtful state.
One of the most encouraging signs OF Re-
publican harmony in Pennsylvania Is the lack OF pre-
arranged slate for the coming state Convention to raty
