county some good. II, instead of callins

did a little peacemaking himself he would
be more consistent. Mr.. Scranton can
hardly expect the governor to take such
advice from man who Is himself indus
triously sowing dissension among the
Lackawanna Republicans"
According to the Philadelphia Times,
when Senator Quay returns to that city
from Harrisburg he Will take active steps
to open up his canvass for the supremacy
Of his faction. It is understood to be the
purpose Of Senator Quay and his followers
TO make Philadelphia the basis of opera
tlons in the prosecution Of lively and ag-
| gressive campaign. An organization In
behalf Of the Junior senator will be formed.
1t will consist Of his friends representing
every county in the state, with headQuar-
| ters in that city, and the campaign work
will be we'll begun and In active progress

The money plank of the Clearfeld county
Republican convention Tuesday was as
follows: I'VE favor honest money. gold.
silver and paper interchangeable, and on
u parity Of value. each dollar as good as
any and every other dollar. We also favor
| bimetallism. based on International agree
| ment, If such agreement can be effected,
and II not. then coinage Of silver TO be
limited by the ability of the government
to maintain an equality Of value in gold
and silver dollars, and the safety and
honor OF the nation.'
Clearfield has instructed for Gilkeson.

rant 1t, the rules Of the party will be
changed so as to permit Of the election of
the state chairman by delegates in the

election Of Senator Quay.
Lieutenant Governor Lyon thinks there
can be but one result from the present
| fight. and that result will be a victory for
| Quay. why would the people want 10
| turn Quay DOWN." said he. He has al
ways stood up for Pennsylvania and her
industries. Had 1t not been for Quay
| there would be few mills in operation In
this state today. 1t was he who is respon-
| sible for forcing the Mckinley bill through
the senate The people will see that he
gets what he wants"

Senator Quay has Il very vigorous ally
in Pop Merrick. the champion para
grapher Of the Washington Post. This
Is one of Merrick's hot thoughts: by
turning his back on Quay Governor Hast
ings will simply indicate that he is willing
| to make u martyr Of himself to the cause
Of political vivisection." The probabili-
| ties are that before Governor Hastings
turns his back" he Will consider the con-
sequences and be prepared for them.
Senator Becker, of Philadelphia, claims
| that the Beaver statesman will have
good many more delegates from Philadel-
phia than are granted him now. There
are many prominent Republicans in that
city who are now classed with Dave Mar
tin and who We're with him 80 long as
there was no stralght-out personal fight
against Quay. These men will now drop
Martin and line up with the old man We
Quay people are not scared. We are going
| to win.'
