in any event bitterly opposed to President
Harrison's denomination, and tho repabli-
can leaders in tho state led by Senators
Cameron and Quay nnd Christopher Magee,
expect to be in combination of rspnbli-
can politicians of power in other states
strong enough to defeat tho president's Of
forts to secure for himself Il second term.
The president himself has precipitated thu
fight for control Of tho delegation in thia
state:
A few weeks ago be sent Prince Russell
to this city and to pittEburg to organize
the federal office -holders against the domi-
nent lenders Of tho party i'll the state. The
vol1ng man consulted Collector Cooper,
sub-Treasurer Walters, Surveyor Of the
Port Ridgway, Marshall Leeds and others.
the net result being that Cooper was placed
in command Of the Harrison forces in the
state, and an effort inaugurated to set up
Harrison candidates for district delegates
all over the state, and especially Philadel-
phia, where the Comeron-Q Quay A1agee Mar
tin machine was supposed to be setting up
an anti-Harrison delegation.
An effort at the same time was made
through Postmaster-General Wanamaker
to modify the anti-Harrison movement in
various ways. and it was expected that
Manufacturer Thomas Doian would aid
the Harrison movement by his influence
with Senator Quay and other republican
lenders. These movements at once became
known to the anti Harrison combination,
which had already, under the hint thrown
out by Senator Quay, taken up position
under the Blaine standard, and the result
has been not only the formation OF the
lines by the anti-ndministration forces in
every district in the state. bus tho develop
ment of the plans for the anti Harrison
movements, i'll conjunction with the Penn
aylvgIia leaders, ali over the country.
One Of the most important declarations
M ade by the anti-Har; ison combination is
that Mr.. Dolan will not only not aasist tho
president, but that he is actually for
Blaine, and will be made a delegate at
large to the national convention, and may

There will be eight delegates at large from
Pennsylvania and ffty-gix district dele

have already been decided upon, or at
least partially selected, as follows: Thomas
