A DOUBLE BOOMERANG.

Recognizing B8ttlsOns call as purely J
partizan move, stalwart Republicans .
throughout the state are writing Chair /
man Watres that this Democratic trick
cry simply serves to stimulate RepuOli- .
cans and impell them on to renewed eff .
forts to get out the Republican vote this
fall. One county committeeman's letter
ran like this
Inasmuch as Governor Pattison has under
taken to run this campaign with the peoples
money, l do not propose to sleep at nights
until L am satisfied that l can get out every
Republican voter in my township solid for the
Republican ticket.
That is simply a sample Of many COM
munications from active Republicans,
indicating the temper of the rank aud
file in the organization. The fact that
the thousands of formerly stalwart Re
publicaus, who were either openly
against the head Of the ticket last fall,
or who We're lukewarm in their support
of the Republican candidate for gov
eruOr. are now among the most enthusi-
astic supporters of Gregg and Morrison,
will be an explanation of the heavy Re
publican vote that is bound to come to
the polls at next months election and
stand Loyalty by the party nominees.
GREGG AND MORRISON ON THE 60.
General Gregg and Captain Morrison
were both in the city last week. The
general has not been making quite as
active a canvass as his colleague on the
ticket. They were both at Pottsyille
last week at the uuveiling of the soldiers
monument and the presentation Of the
medals to the First Defenders" They
were very IT. uch pleased with the atten-
tion shown tuem by the war veterans.
Many Democrats among the old soldiers
greeted them warmly and said they
We're going to forget politics this fall,
and vote for Comrades Gregg and Nor
rison."
Captain Morrison left here for home
with so many invitations to visit differ
ent sections of the state that he was in
a quandary where to go next. Orator
| George b. Orlady insists that he shall
make tour Of Huntingdon county with
him. Then he has accepted an invita-
| ton to go TO Mercer county, where the
One Hundred and Thirty-ninth Penn
| sylvania Volunteers, Colonel Golfers
old regiment, have a reunion next Fri
day. Captain Morrison enlisted from
Mercer county and is personally ac-
quainted with many Of the veterans who
will gather there this week. From here
he will go down into Armstrong and In
diana counties.
NON-PARTIsAN SOLDIERS MOVEMENT.
The war veterans movement is spread
ing. 1t is organized ON a partisan
basis, Democrats and Republicans alike
standing shoulder to shoulder for "the
soldier ticket" The Democratic party
| ignored the soldier both in the platform
| and the nominations. 1t presents no
attractions for the war veterans this
| fall A. p. Burchheld, who was elected
/ president Of the Gregg and Morrison
, War Veterans club in Pittsburg last
| week, is one of the leading wholesale
merchants in Allegheny county. He
| represents the type of men who are
| prominent in the movement.
/ Though the organizatio started in
| this city it is said that western Penn
| sylyania, where a preliminary canvass
| was made by old soldiers in favor Of
! Captain MOrrison's nomination, is even
| outstripping the eastern counties in en-
( listing veterans for active work at the
I polls.
| This week will mark the opening of
headquarters in this city for the State
| League of Republican clubs. President
Jack Robinson is determined that the
| Republican League members shall do
| their share of the labors Of the cam
| paign.
TO OPEN CLUB LEAGUE HEADQUARTERS.
81 think" said Congressman Robin
| son, "that the League members can do
| a considerable amount of intelligent
| missionary work during the present
campaign. / propose to secure head
quarters in Philadelphia within a few
! days. We will get a amodestrOom some
| where in a central location and do all
| in our power for the success of the state
| ticket. There will be no flourish Of
| trumpets, and what we do will be done
! quietly and persistently. The manly
| and honorable manner in which Mr..
| Dalzell has turned in for party success
] is bound to have a good effect in every
part Of the state. His friends have fol-
| lowed his example, and none are more
! anxious to work for the success of the
| ticket The League was formed to aid
I the regular party organization, and we
| propose to do our fun duty in this cam
! Yass."
PROMINENT REPUBLICANS ACTIVE.
Ex-Auditor General Jerome b. Niles,
! of 1ioga, and ex-Lieutenant Governor
| Stone and Ex-senator Allen, of Warren,

state headquarters. Niles says his

ican ticket.
