COLONEL STONE HAS FAITH IN BLAINE

The Pittsburg delegates to the Democratic
National Convention at Chicago will not go
to Chicago in a body this wear as they have
done on former occasions. Shortly after
the State convention Mr.. Guffey announced.
that he would take with him to the Nation
al convention a party of friends IN his
special car and while no particulars accom-
panied Mr.. Gu1iev's announcement it was
generally understood that the party would
60 as guests The Harrity Democrats OF
the State decided to outdo all comers and
they announced a Harrity special train,
which would take the entire Pennsylvania
delegation to the convention. This an
nouncement was especially gratifying to the
delegates all over the State. Visions of
free ride and all the accompaniments loomed
up before them, and in several
cases letters of thanks were sent to Mr.
Harritv. But last night it was developed
that Mr.. Harrity was not in the excursion
business, and each delegate in Pittsburg
and the rest Of the State received letter
from Chairman Wright, ofthe State Com
mittee, in which he said that the Harrity
special train, which he SAYS is to carry all
the delegates from Pennsylvania, will
leave Philadelphia on the 18th of June and
will pass through Pittsburg early on Satur-
day morning.
The Other Side Told the Story.
On the reverse side of the letter was
printed in regular railroad style the cost of
transportation to each delegate from the
various cities and towns from Philadelphia to
the Ohio line, save and excepting Pittsburg,
which vas overlooked in Mr.. Harrity's
special train schedule of prices. With the
letter was printed form to be filled out
by each delegate who intends accompanying
Mr. Harrity's special train which was in
tended to be returned to Chairman Wright
at the earliest possible time. The Pittsburg
people all received the letter and circular
Yesterday, but the absence of Pittsburg
from the schedule of prices has to some ex-
tent confused the politicians and they are
not entirely clear whether they are to be
part and parcel of Mr. Harrity's special
train without price or whether they are ex-
pected 10 go alone to the convention.
Mr.. Harrity's party will have headquar-
tiers at the Sherman House, Chicago, where
the State headquarters will be established
from the time they will arrive until they
leave the place. 1t is said the band will be
there to make music for Governor Pattison
in the event that Mr.. Cleveland fails to Sc
cure the nomination, but few of the Pitts
burg delegates believe that the band has
been engaged TO boost the chances of Penn
sylrania's Governor from the first.
People Who Go With Mr.. Guffsy
Tue Guffev party will be small. In the
special car, however, will be e1-Solicitor
General George A. jerks, 1-United States
Senator William A. Wallace and few
others of that class. This party will have
headquarters at the Auditorium. 1t is
hinted that headquarters will be estab-
lished there and that the fight between Mr..
Guffey and Mr.. Harrity for place on the
Democratic National Committee will be re-
newed at the convention. Mr.. Guffey has
opposed any proposition to renew the fight
III which he was twice worsted in this State,
but recently, when Mr. jerks was in Pitts
burg, he said he was in favor of having the
fight continued, and he was confident that
such a contest would under all the circum-
stances be decided in Mr.. Guffey's favor.
Il am satisfied that the establishment of
two headquarters at Chicago by the Penn
svlvania delegations means something sig
nificant,' local Democrat said last night
l have always believed that the National
Committee had the authority to fill its own
vacancies and / have always been firm in
the belief that the National Committee
should be made up OF men that can give lib
orally of their money for political purposes,
and for this reason / believe that party wis
dom would prompt the selection of Mr..
Gufiev for the place -
Mr. Guf1ey will return to Pittsburg from
Atlantic City to-day. He will bring with
him his nephew and namesake who was
taken to the seashore for his health, but has
not been benefited and is being brought
home.
