The Republicans Of Snyder County
are moving for better representation
of Pennsylvania in the United States
Senate. The resolutions adopted at
the conference at Middleton, reported
elsewhere, embody in few words the
chief objections to continuing Mr..
Qhay in the place he fills so negligently
and inef1iciently. A Senator who shirks
his duties and interferes in his States
politics only to bring disaster and de-
feat upon his party is q good Senator
to retire to private life and keep there.

The formal statement Of the. New
York Herald yesterday that Pennsyl-
yania's sixty eight votes in the nationa
Democratic convention will be cast for
Hill is more than usually significant.
It means, in brief, that confidence in
the capacity Of the Philadelphia boss
to deliver as he has promised the vote
Of Pennsylvania as unit leads the
Herald TO believe, from pledges the
boss has made or from means at hand
10 secure such pledges, that when Hill
IS in need Of them the vote masquerad |
ing as for Cleveland will be turned
over to Hill if the friends of the New
York senator be the best bidders. The
Democrats of this state who are being
fooled by the Philadelphia combina-
ion now have timely notice. Harris

It is reported that W. w. Dudley
has refused to be a member of the In
diana delegation to the Republican
National Convention. His refusal is
said to be based on his declination to
support Mr.. Harrison for denomination.

under which Dudley could have been
convicted, was induced to reverse his
notion of the, law and to declare that
Dudley was not guilty Of a crime be
