POLITICAL NOTES

Dittman and Peter Monroe, the three
! Philadelphians who unhorsed William Nc
Aleer, have begun to explain their course.
Monroe says: "Our constituents wanted
us to nominate man for whom they
could vote. McAleer had done everything
| possible against the interests of the party
in this district, and / would have been
ashamed to face the voters after having
aided to renominate him. McCullen will
be elected by large majority" Ryan
says: "McAleer managed TO defeat nearly
all Of the senatorial and legislative candi.
dates because he, being fearful OF his own
defeat made deal with the Republicans.
This year he can do little harm, for the
Republicans will try to poll every vote
for Halterman, and this will leave
McAleer no friends but those he has put
into public offices. These men surely dare
not betray the regular party candidate,
especially when they can do McAleer no
good. There is no danger of his defeat at
fecting the state ticket. You can depend
upon it that in a few days the men who are
now seeing disaster in the action of the
convention will get different view Of it
and will see that it was very good politics
| for US to name straight Democrat who
will be elected by at least 1000 majority
and whose friends will be the friends of the
state ticket" Dittman talks similarly.
Their nominee, McCullen, however, takes

never so bright as now.

ous fashion: 1--WE do not understand the
ins and outs Of Philadelphia ward and dis

ignorance. But we do understand one

will, that Mr.. Singerly assumed a great
deal for granted when he sent out his ad.

count OF the state ticket in the pending
canvass; let the election go by default and
concentrate their energies on local candi- |
dates. 1t was most ill-advised and
foolish. There are other candidates on
the state ticket besides Mr.. Sin
gerly who have all the claims he has
on the support Of the Democracy, and
whose names on the state ticket lend fully
as much strength to IL as the honored
name of Mr.. Singerly. Why were they
not consulted? Why should the candidate
for governor assume the functions and
powers Of the whole party, of its state
convention, its state candidates and state
committee, and because OF miserable
wrangle in Philadelphia gutter politics
advise, as he virtually does, that Quay's
ticket should have clear and unopp osed
sweep in the statep Let those who inter-
pret Democracy by their own penny dips
go their own ways. The Democracy of
Pennsylvania do not owe their existence
to nor do they revolve about the happen
ings in three or four wards in Philadelphia.

campaign, because Of some throat
trouble contracted in his younger
days, has paid a special compliment to
the Republicans Of Lackawanna county BY
going to considerable trouble to promise
to be present with them one week, from
tomorrow night. After the meeting in
the theater reception will be rendered
in the Central Republican club rooms to
the speakers and to the various candi-
dates. Speaking Of Mr.. Grow, 1t may be
